Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the Monday edition of Vince. Always great to have you with us.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Can you believe it? We're entering the 100th day of
the Trump administration and the president always got a lot to be proud of. We'll talk
about that, of course, this week and coming out of this weekend.
Yes, the mass deportations have begun. We'll get into the details there.
Also, the FO portion of FA, FO is definitely happening now
as we see a bunch of public officials
now being placed under arrest, a couple of them,
for violating our nation's laws,
being held accountable by the FBI
and federal law enforcement.
I gotta be honest, love seeing

Yeah, the feedback pouring in the first 100 days. that's a hard choice, says Arlen 7.
Yeah, no, that's true.
It is a hard choice.
There's a lot of options here.
I will say the border lockdown, which I'm seeing in the chat right now, is definitely
a massive, massive victory.
Think about the things that President Trump ran on.
That border and this economy and that border, well, it's basically entirely closed.
The White House this morning had a press briefing early this morning right away with Caroline
Levitt and Tom Holman and was going over the fact that there are so few people who are
even getting into the country anymore.
Tom almost describing, he said it was something like six, seven people that have been allowed in.
And meanwhile, everybody else is being deported from our country or stopped right at the border to the point that, you know, it's just going really, really, really well. So thank you to Tom Holman, the Borders are for doing that.
And just how excellent this effort has been.
I gotta say very high marks from me
on getting that border under control.
We talked to Kristi Noem last week.
And I wanna remind you that you're in the right place.
And I've gotten a lot of good messages
from the audience this weekend about this. Last week, we had Christy
Nome on the program. And we talked to her about a lot of
things. But among those was this idea that, you know, mass
deportations might start soon. And I was I asked her, tell me
about the mass deportations, what's going to happen there?
And she said, Look, Vince, we've had we've given illegals this
window, you know, you know, Joe Biden had this, this app, it was called
the CBP one app where they were importing people was like Uber
for illegal aliens to come right into the United States. And so
what the Trump administration has done is they turn the app
around, they said, how about this, we're going to make it an
app that allows people to deport from our country with the
possible hope of one day maybe coming back. That's the carrot
part of all of this. So you either take the carrot or you're gonna get the stick.
And they use the CBP Home App and they say,
hey, start registering yourself with the government
if you're here illegally.
So Christie, don't tell me,
we just basically started a 30 day clock,
either do that or you're getting ejected from the country.
These mass deportations are coming.
And sure enough, over this weekend,
we saw one of the biggest deportations at once
that we've seen yet.
And this came to us in Florida.
Take a look at this.
This is CBS News Miami reporting on this.
As 800 illegal aliens were just arrested in Florida,
a combo operation between federal law enforcement
and local law enforcement,
and they're all being deported from the country.
Look at this.
Ice Miami and Florida law enforcement arrested
nearly 800 undocumented migrants in the first four days
of their operation tidal wave this week.
In response, Governor Ron DeSantis posted that quote,
"'Florida is leading the nation in active cooperation
with the Trump administration for immigration enforcement
and deportation operations.'"
800 people in one fell swoop.
Now, as of this morning, I'll remind you of the numbers here.
Tom Homan is saying that there are some 20 million illegals in the United
States of America right now. So is that everybody? No, it's not everybody. No, it's a small number
in the grand scheme of things. But we are watching now mass deportations taking place.
And the other piece of this is that Tom Holman said that workplace enforcement under the
Trump administration has exploded. Let me
emphasize what that means. Workplace enforcement means if illegals are here in the country,
there are employers who are exploiting illegal aliens, paying them lower than the prevailing
wage here in the United States, costing Americans jobs and driving down wages for everybody. It's a total disaster.
And so one way to stop this is to stop the magnet of employers
who break the law by hiring illegal aliens. That's what the
Trump administration is doing. Tom Homan said this morning that
workplace enforcement has exploded now under the Trump
administration. So the reason, one of the many reasons you've
seen this dramatic decline
of people coming across our border
is that their chances of success
and their chances of creating a livelihood
here in the United States in illegal way,
they're diminishing down to zero.
That's disappearing.
So that part of it stopping the magnet,
the Trump administration doing really well.
Now, of course, the mass deportation component
is just beginning.
800 people rounded up in the Miami area,
down in Florida this past week
and over the course of four days.
A lot more of that to come.
And the people that they're getting rid of,
so far, the ones that they were primarily focused on
have been the most vile criminals.
I want you to see what the signage looks like
outside of the White House as of this morning.
Take a look at this.
Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary,
posting video this morning from just outside
of the White House, this is on the North Lawn.
Look at the images here.
These, every single one of these illegal aliens
who is depicted here with these mugshots
that have been placed on the North Lawn
have committed some of the most violent, heinous crimes.
And you may not be able to read all of these,
perhaps you're listening on the audio.
I'll tell you what they say.
They say rape, they say murder, they say rape of a child,
they say armed robbery, they say assault.
They've got these signs out there right now
in front of the White House
as an expression of just how committed
they are to get these guys out of the country.
And here's what's amazing about the placement of these signs.
They're not merely for people who are outside the White House to see them or for the random
camera that say is walking by here.
Look at this.
How many signs are these signs are placed directly behind
the legacy media's camera shots,
right there at the White House.
There's a spot on the North Lawn, it's called Pebble Beach.
That's what the reporters refer to it.
And that's because they're standing on gravel,
right with cameras facing the White House.
So right behind them, over their shoulders,
all of these illegal aliens who've been arrested,
violent illegals, to the point that this morning,
MSNBC was reeling over this,
that now their White House camera shots
are gonna include this detail.
White House has put up about 100 posters
of what they say are unauthorized immigrants
who have been arrested for violent crimes.
You can see them there. They put them up on the driveway of the White House. If you look
here, that's the West Wing just at the forefront, the executive mansion itself to the left.
But what's particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the
positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn. So therefore, no matter what network you're on, that includes MSNBC, if you're doing a
hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you.
The White House doing a briefing in about a half hour about what they're doing here.
Yeah.
Amazing, huh?
Amazing.
Exactly what you want to see.
So the press strategy continues to be brilliant.
As these guys are focus firing, the White House is on how can we force the media to cover a story that they refuse
to cover? Because this story I've got to tell you, we are looking at already yet another
ridiculous scandal being born over the weekend. They're doing it alert. We have a BS alert coming out now
because the media is hysterical that President Trump is now deporting US citizens.
That's the claim here.
Look at the Washington Post this morning.
Three US citizens aged two, four, and seven
swiftly deported from Louisiana.
That's the headline.
And I got to say, have you encountered any lefties in your life
who are trying to wield stories like this as a weapon against you?
Oh, yeah, Trump is awful.
He's deporting American citizens, they screech.
And then you have to calmly and patiently explain to them,
no, that's not happening.
The news sources you consume are lying to you.
Three U.S. citizens deported and listen to how this story begins. Three U.S. citizen children
from two different families, two different families were deported with their mothers
by immigration and customs enforcement during the early hours of Friday morning. One of
them is a four year old with stage four cancer who was deported without medication or the
ability to contact their doctors.
The family's lawyer said, let me just tell you something.
These are lies.
What you are hearing right upfront in this story
in this first paragraph is a lie.
These are American citizens.
We can't deport American citizens.
I'll explain it more in a moment.
According to their lawyers,
both families were taken into custody while
attending routine check ins this week in New Orleans as a part of
the intensive supervision appearance program, which
allows individuals to remain in their communities while
undergoing immigration proceedings. Lawyers say the
families were taken to Alexandria, Louisiana, a three
hour drive from New Orleans where they were prevented from
communicating with their family members and legal representatives and then put on
a flight to Honduras.
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration's expedited deportations are
violating the due process rights of both citizens and non-citizens.
And then they go on to quote a bunch of lefties saying that Trump's an awful human being.
This is the typical pattern here with the Washington Post.
Now what is actually going
on? These children, U.S. citizens, are not being deported. Their parents are taking them.
The parents are being deported. That's it. And so the parents have a decision to make. Do I take
the children with me, keep my family together,
or do I leave them with someone else here in the United States? And they've made that
decision. They're taking these kids with them so that the children are not being deported.
They're being brought along by the parents. If anyone's moving them from country to country,
it's the parents. That's what's happening here. And then of course, Trump is being blamed for some sort of cruelty. Now, you have, over the weekend here, this as the media tried to turn this into a scandal,
they were trying desperately to turn this into a scandal. Luckily, you've got great Trump
administration officials who fanned out to point out how ridiculous all of this is, is they were
asked on the stupid Sunday shows about this. Here's cut one, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
asked on Meet the Press about why are you Here's cut one, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
asked on Meet the Press about,
why are you deporting American citizens?
Take a look.
Three US citizens, ages four, seven, and two,
were not deported.
Their mothers, who were illegally in this country,
were deported.
The children went with their mothers.
Those children are US citizens.
They can come back into the United States
if there's their father or someone here
who wants to assume them. But ultimately, who was deported was their mother,
their mothers who were here illegally.
The children just went with their mothers.
But it wasn't like, you guys make it sound like ICE agents
kicked down the door and grabbed the two-year-old
and threw him on an airplane.
That's misleading.
That's just not true.
Just to be clear, because I do want to get to the overhaul
at the State Department.
Is it the US policy to deport children, even U.S. citizens, with their families?
And I hear what you're saying, without due process.
Just to be very clear there.
Well, no, no, no, no, no.
Again, if someone's in this country unlawfully, illegally, that person gets deported.
If that person is with a two-year-old child or has a two-year-old child and says, I want
to take my child with me, well, then you have two choices. You can say yes, of course you can
take your child, whether they're a citizen or not, because it's your child. Or you can
say, yes, you can go, but your child must stay behind. And then your headlines would
read, US holding hostage, two-year-old, four-year-old, seven-year-old while mother deported. So the
mother, the parents make that choice. I imagine those three US citizen children have fathers here in the United States. They can stay with their
father. That's up to their family to decide where the children go. Children go with their
parents. Parents decide where their children go. The US deported their mothers who were
illegally in America.
That's the critical element. So every time you see a lie like the one that the Washington Post published this weekend
that these children were, quote, deported, you see all of that, three U.S. citizens,
children swiftly deported, that is a lie.
The parent chose to take those kids with her.
That's what happened.
Now, let me obviously stipulate in the midst of all of
this that I don't I don't know all the parenting arrangements here and if everybody's an illegal
alien, but if everybody in the family is an illegal alien, their kids should not be US citizens.
This is not the way US citizenship should just be conferred on people who break our laws then have
a baby in the United States and then, you know, presto change. Oh, now you have an American citizen
in the family. I don't think so. I don't think so. That's not how it should work. President Trump is trying very fervently
to fix that particular insanity that's been going on in our country for far too long.
But that said, the kids are US citizens. It's up to the parents. The parents are bringing them with
them. The parents are bringing them with them. And Marco Rubio correctly points out it doesn't
even matter how this story goes.
Just by enforcing our immigration laws,
the media will accuse President Trump
of doing something scandalous.
So either the kids have been deported, which is a lie,
or the families are being separated is the claim.
And if anybody separates the families, it's the families.
That's what they're doing.
Now, Tom Homan called this out as, too,
the borders are, he was on Face the Nation,
and they tried to make it a scandal with him.
And I just don't recommend that with Tom Homan.
Here's cut to Tom Homan.
On Friday, a federal judge who was appointed
by President Trump said a two-year-old
American citizen child had been sent to Honduras
with the mother who was deported.
But the judge said, quote,
there was no meaningful process.
So again, this is another similar situation and dynamic.
Shouldn't there be special care
when these deportation cases involve
small American born children.
Let's pause this for a second.
So why is she, can we pause it without going away from the frame like that?
Why is she dressed like the Joker?
That's what I wanted to know.
She's dressed in a purple Joker suit.
Maybe she is a Joker.
Maybe that's what it is.
She's dressed, Margaret Brennan is dressed like the Joker this weekend on CBS, asking these ridiculous questions. I'm sorry, continue please.
Quote, there was no meaningful process. So again, this is another similar situation and dynamic.
Shouldn't there be special care when these deportation
cases involve small American-born children?
First of all, I disagree with the judge. It was due process.
That female had due process at great taxpayer expense
and was ordered by the immigration judge after those hearings.
So she had due process. Again, this is Parenting 101.
You can decide to take that child with you or you can decide to leave the child here
with a relative or another spouse.
Having a U.S. citizen child doesn't make you immune from our laws of the country.
American families get separated every day by law enforcement.
Thousands of times a day when a parent gets put in jail, the child can't go with them.
These, if you're an illegal animal and come to this country and you decide to have a U.S.
citizen child, that's on you.
You put yourself in that
position.
Yeah, you did that. You did that. This is parenting 101.
Every parent who goes to prison gets separated from their kids.
So it's kind of on you, you break our laws, you face the
consequences. And look, Holman is a great communicator,
isn't he? He's been really clear about this from the very
beginning, even before this Trump administration
arrived.
Holman was asked about this, like, what are you going to do?
Are you going to separate families?
Is that what you're going to do?
You're going to separate families?
Remember what Holman said?
Tom Holman said this was in the intervening phase between the election and inauguration
day.
Remember this?
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?
Of course there is. Families can be deported together.
Of course there is. Families can be deported together. And in fact, it's even simpler
than that. You just deport the parents and then the parents make a decision. We'll bring
the kids. We'll bring the kids, which is what they've done. Now it's a scandal.
It's a scandal again. I do have to tell you, isn't it nice how ridiculous the scandals
are? The more ridiculous they are, the more obvious it is that things are going well.
Like if the press can't find a real scandal to get its arms around, so they have to make
up stupid ones like this.
Kind of a ratification that things are going really well.
Isn't it?
I'm digging the first 100 days.
I can't wait for the next 100.
More in a moment on everything that's going on
with this Trump administration and this wild border story,
which just gets better with each passing day.
Looking forward to that.
I gotta thank our sponsors.
That includes Brickhouse Nutrition.
Fellas, you put Brickhouse up there for me, would you?
I wanna share the notes on these guys
because they're awesome.
And they have a great product that's called Lean.
Lean, which helps you control your weight
and your cravings and everything else.
Yo-yo dieters know this, you should know this.
You diet and you lose weight and you gain it all back
plus a few extra pounds.
This is dangerous.
Studies show that can actually increase your risk
of heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes
and all sorts of other health problems.
Breaking free of your yo-yo diet pattern,
it's a main reason that doctors created lean.
Now lean is a supplement.
It's not an injection or anything.
You don't need a prescription.
The science behind lean is very impressive.
It's got studied natural ingredients that actually target weight loss in three really
powerful ways.
Lean helps you maintain healthy blood sugar.
It helps you control your appetite and your cravings.
And it helps burn fat by converting that fat into energy.
Listen, I'm such a big believer in lean.
I've been giving it to family members so they can use it.
They love it. And listen, if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, lean was created for
you. So let me get you started with 20% off. Enter the code vince20 at takelean.com. That's code

Okay.
Like I said, you know, we talked last week about, you know, what was coming with Kristi
Noem, the DHS secretary, and she gave us a little bit of a taste, a tease on the mass
deportations, which we saw some
this weekend.
800 people rounded up in the Miami area down there in Florida.
Wonderful news.
Wonderful news.
Lots of criminals, violent people have been taken off of our streets, sent off to El Salvador.
Love that.
Another piece that I want to focus on, though, is what we talked about last week.
I told you, I think it was Thursday or so, or Wednesday last week, we were talking about kind of the people, the critics who've been trying to
attack Dan Bongino and Cash Patel and the FBI, suggesting that, from the right, saying
that, oh, they failed us. They haven't made enough arrests. They haven't gotten after
all these people yet. And I remember last week I was just telling people, hey, like,
slow your roll. Let these guys work. Let them cook, let them cook. But I told you what was
coming were two things in particular that I was aware of. One is that the FBI is going to be doing
a lot more related to the Chinese Communist Party and we're going to see I think some of that coming
up soon. But the other thing I mentioned is public corruption, that there would be public
corruption arrests coming up soon. And that feature, well, I didn't even realize
how quickly that was gonna take place.
That happened instantly.
Last week, as we were discussing on Friday,
we saw two judges placed under arrest
for obstructing illegal immigration laws
and for just violating laws, federal laws
here in the United States of America.
And it's created a mass reaction by the media.
They can't believe that President Trump
and his administration are now arresting judges.
Now these judges have earned it, as you know.
These judges have definitely earned it.
And already this morning at the White House, they were talking about this, Peter Ducey
had asked, are we going to see more of these arrests?
And rightfully, Caroline Leavitt responded with, hey, look, I'm not going to get into
hypotheticals here.
I'm just telling you that the Department of Justice is going to enforce the law.
And if you are actively, in the case of this Judge Dugan character,
if you're actively obstructing justice, forcing federal law enforcement to go to one room
while you're smuggling an illegal alien out the back door, yeah, baby, you're going to
get arrested for that. That's actually going to happen. You're going to be held accountable
for breaking the law. And so this is, um, this is, this is a great development. It means we're getting a lot more
in terms of that accountability
that you and I have been looking for.
Let me just dog your one other thing.
Last week at the end of the week,
President Trump announced that he's calling
for a full-scale investigation by the Justice Department
into ActBlue.
That is the financial engine of the chaotic left
that has created so much of this
chaos all across the country. The president ordering an investigation by the justice
department into that, that's a huge deal. It has all sorts of implications for the rioting,
the terrorism, the election meddling, the phony donations that have been pouring into the left, foreign donations, straw donors.
It is the left's economic engine, this Act Blue.
So President Trump has announced a big investigation into this by the Justice Department.
That is a massive, massive thing.
And Act Blue specifically, remember, both Trump assassins, both of the would-be Trump
assassins were Act Blue donors, both Trump assassins, both of the would be Trump assassins were ActBlue donors,
both of them.
So this is, I think we're getting right to the epicenter here, right to the heart of
this left-wing universe.
You know, when we say follow the money, this is it.
And President Trump ordering a full-scale investigation by the Justice Department into
the money here.
So this is a massive, massive piece of information.
So again, dogg that hold onto that story
because we're gonna get back to it.
We're gonna talk more about it,
especially as we get more discoveries about that.
But back to this Judge Dugan now and what's going on.
So Judge Dugan last week gets busted
for smuggling an illegal alien
out the back of her courthouse.
And the name of this illegal alien is a fellow called Eduardo Flores Ruiz.
And just to be clear, this is a guy who stands accused of violent assault.
This is not some, you know, sweet little innocent illegal alien.
The only crime he committed was trying to make a better life for himself.
No, he's a violent illegal here in the United States of America.
And take a look at cut five local media describing what this guy
Eduardo stands accused of and what was actually happening in the
court that day.
Two of the roommates who spoke with me today, but didn't want to
show their faces.
They say they were in court as victims last Friday.
They say they heard Judge Dugan instruct Flores Ruiz and his lawyer to go to a certain door
and said that they needed to speak with ICE.
You heard her say that Eduardo needed to go speak with ICE.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah, okay.
Once Flores Ruiz went to the door, they say they never saw him again, the the the
the
the
the
the
the the as well, showing us pictures of one of them in a hospital bed today. And James, they told you they were actually scared of retaliation.
One of the reasons, Derek, why they didn't want to show their faces, they say this afternoon they're scared to leave their home because of retaliation from Eduardo Flores Ruiz and his friends.
Investigative reporter James Stratt are in the courtroom describing the horrific injuries that they've
sustained from this illegal alien. And they want to share the story, but they said, we're
gonna try to remain anonymous here. Now, I don't know how much that's actually gonna
help them given that my guess is that the suspect knows who they are anyway, but they
try to remain anonymous there because they don't want retaliation from the suspect or
anybody else around them because that's how dangerous and violent he is.
And that's the guy who the judge just smuggled out of the courtroom to try and evade federal
law enforcement.
So a judge here in the United States is acting against the interests of the people of her
community by allowing a violent criminal to be put back on the streets.
In fact, she aided and abetted him,
which is of course why she ended up a handcuffs
and with charges from federal authorities.
That actually happened.
Now that has not stopped the left
from attempting to mount a defense of her.
There's quite a, that going on.
There's a fellow called David Brooks,
who was on TV this weekend.
He's a political commentator.
Here's cut four.
And he's saying that the judge is,
Judge Dugan's behavior was, this is disgraceful,
was heroic, take a look.
Well, obviously they're trying to send a note
of intimidation, not only to her,
but to all judges and maybe to all Americans. But I don't yet know the specific details of intimidation, not only to her, but to all judges and maybe to all Americans.
But I don't yet know the specific details of this case, whether she escorted the guy
out the jury door, whether she's let him or not.
So that's all, Mark.
I don't want to comment on this specific case.
But especially on the issue of immigration, there are a lot of people who are appalled
by what the administration is doing.
And there will be times for civil disobedience.
And to me, if she, let's say she did escort this guy
out the door, if federal enforcement agencies come
to your courtroom and you help a guy escape,
that is two things.
One, it strikes me as maybe something illegal,
but it also strikes me as something heroic.
And in times of trouble, then people are sometimes called to do civil disobedience.
And in my view, when people do civil disobedience, they have to pay the price. That's part of the
heroism of it, frankly. And so you can both think that she shouldn't have legally done this, and that
morally protecting somebody against, maybe not even in this case, but in other cases, frankly,
a predatory enforcement agency.
What? Are you kidding me? You hearing this idiot? Now, did David Brooks ever mount a
defense of January 6th defendants on this basis? Yeah, well, it was a little civil disobedience,
but their cause was heroic. They wanted to preserve the country. They wanted to make
sure that elections were credible. So in that sense, you know, you really got to hand it to them here.
That's just a little bit of light civil disobedience.
This is madness.
This guy is a violent assaulter.
He's here in the United States of America.
His victims are sitting in the courtroom, one of them being strangled and punched by
him repeatedly over and over and over again.
And David Brooks, who spent no time looking at the
details of the case, or at least based on his own claim, he said, look, I don't really know the
details, but I can say, as I think about this Judge Dugan, what I can't help but think is hero.
She's a hero. Yeah. It's a little, yeah, a little civil disobedience. Sure, maybe it was illegal,
but it was worth it because
she's standing for a nobler purpose. Are you serious right now? What nobler purpose is she
standing for? She's a judge who has taken an oath to uphold the law and to protect the citizens of
her community. That would be American citizens in her community. And here she is screwing them over.
Here you are rooting her on.
Calling her a hero?
What's wrong with you?
And that guy works for the New York Times.
New York Times calling this David Brooks.
Not rooting for America, rooting against it actually.
So that's insanity.
And of course, so the media, and so if he really didn't look at any of the
details of this case, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, doesn't that
tell you everything that our media are reflexively on the side of the people
who are hurting American citizens?
They don't care what the details are.
I'll instantly take that, that guy's side.
I'll instantly take the judge's side who helped smuggle them out of that courtroom.
That's crazy. That's disgraceful is what it is. And as I always say, it's not shocking,
but it is appalling. I want to thank our sponsors, the people who keep this business operating. Thank

Major's in here, he's making noise.
He doesn't make a lot of noise, but he makes some noise.
With the Maha movement in full force,
I'm inspired to make my own health
and fitness a priority again, I have been.
And this is why I'm really excited to be working
with Don and the team at Jacked Up Fitness which is really an amazing

My Marine Corps general father, we worked out yesterday this morning. I mean, yesterday
morning together. It was a pull day. It was a pull day. A little bit back and buys. It
was a great day. It was awesome, actually. So having a badass all-in-one Power Rack Pro right here in the house is a game changer for my family and I'm super excited

Yeah, baby. Get jacked up. Actually, while we were working out yesterday, Major was,
let's see, Major was hanging out with us.
He was a good gym dog yesterday for us.
He's a good boy.
He's a great boy.
Anyway, he hung out with us at the gym yesterday.
That's the story.
That's the whole story.
And he was good.
Although it's, when you're on the floor
and you're doing stuff with the Power Rack Pro,
in order to do seated rows,
there's a, you can kind of, you can sit on the floor
and then you can, you know, pull back the cable
from the machine.
And the lower you get to the floor,
the more likely it is that the dog is gonna stick his tongue
directly in your face while you're doing it.
So that we had that going on yesterday.
So it was a kind of an obstacle course
as we were, as we were doing the Power Rack Pro yesterday. Holy cow! We got a lot of major emojis in
here. My daughter had spring break last week so she got to watch the live chat
while you guys were doing this. She loved the major emojis. She's a huge fan of the
major emoji. So thank you for that. Yeah major motivation that's right. He was
he was there. The dogs are great aren't they? The dogs are wonderful.
Okay, what else do I have for you?
I've got, well, I've got the,
what am I checking?
Justin is cool, says Dr. Edwards.
And apparently that's now the pinned message.
I'm gonna presume there was no conflict of interest
in whoever decided to pin that message.
It was a super objective decision to put Justin is cool
as the pinned message on today's chat.
So there you go.
There's Justin.
Find him on X by the way.
Justin, you can add your X up there if you want.
Justin's got all sorts of opinions
and he shares them on social media.
I was just talking to Justin this morning
ahead of the show, as I often do
about how we need to abolish the TSA.
Does anybody else agree with me on this?
We have to get rid of the
Transportation Security Administration.
It is the dumbest agency that's literally designed
to condition Americans into accepting humiliating rituals
of subservience to the government.
Get rid of the TSA.
Let's just abolish it entirely.
In fact, the TSA, now you got me going, Justin.
The TSA is a complete failure.
You go back, let me show you something real quick.
2017, look at this report.
TSA fails most tests in latest undercover operation
at US airports.
So this agency and Evita,
I know Evita was talking about it this morning
cause she just had to go through this.
She came to Washington DC last week to go to the White House
and then she comes right back
and she has to go through this humiliating ritual with TSA
which doesn't actually catch anything.
All it does is just treat Americans like crap
and slow down your travel.
And they say, all they do is fail their tests.
And apparently all the way through to this year,
it's still the same exact thing.
In recent undercover tests
of multiple airport security checkpoints
by the Department of Homeland Security,
inspectors say that screeners, their equipment,
or their procedures fail more than half the time, according to a source familiar with a classified report.
When ABC News asked the source if the failure rate was 80%, the response was, you are in
the ballpark.
Do you know what that means that they're failing?
That means that when they test these guys, when they put weapons and contraband through
the security screening procedure on purpose in order for
it to be caught, they're missing it.
They're missing it.
Now, that doesn't stop them from cracking open your carry-on and rifling through your
underwear and then asking you to stand there while you're trying to figure out whether
or not you're going to make your gate on time.
It doesn't stop that.
It doesn't stop them from patting down grandmothers.
It doesn't stop them from putting you in the naked scanner. It doesn't stop them from scanning your face every time
you come to the airport. You know, that keeps happening. Taking your shoes off, taking your
belt off, taking your jacket off, taking every single thing you own out of a bag and then
and stuffing it into individual trays. It doesn't stop them from doing any of that.
Why are we getting to the airport two hours early? What is the point of that? How much loss productivity have we had as a country by forcing some of
the most productive people in that country to spend all their time doing security theater
that doesn't actually catch anything? It just treats you like garbage. What are we doing?
What if we just, here's a crazy idea, lock the cockpit door?
What if we did that?
Wild. Wild.
And now you can't carry liquids? I know that's been going on for a while.
That's because one guy tried to blow up his underwear and he failed,
so the rest of us don't get to carry liquid forever?
So I'm sorry, I don't want to live in the world where terrorists get to dictate the way the rest of us live forever.
I thought the whole point was we go after them directly instead of treating Americans
like garbage.
Yet, that's strange.
Every time we get some sort of horrific terror attack, it's American citizens who bear the
brunt of it, the way the government responds to it.
The entire Patriot Act is an expression in trampling all over your civil liberties.
Anyway, sorry, just wanted to take a brief detour to say that the TSA desperately needs Patriot Act is an expression and trampling all over your civil liberties.
Anyway, sorry.
Just wanted to take a brief detour to say that the TSA desperately needs to be abolished.
It's a jobs program for grumpy people who hate their jobs and aren't good at them.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Uh, so there you go.
Let's get rid of TSA.
And people are like, and, and, you know, and of course, you know, what'll happen if we get rid of TSA. And people are like, and you know, and of course, you know what will happen if we get
rid of, if President Trump came out tomorrow, which he should, he should come out today,
he should sign an executive order saying they're collapsing TSA.
Everyone will go crazy.
They'll go apple-plucking.
Oh no, oh no, everything's going to be unsafe now.
Come on.
When do we have to become so reliant on some distant strange force to try and protect us
and they're failing at that job, come on.
How about, you know, learn to protect yourself.
This audience knows how to protect itself.
I know that.
So anyway, TSA, garbage, garbage.
All right, let's see here.
I've got, yeah, I've got a lot of stuff going on.
Oh, that Judge Dugan, yeah.
In case you missed it on Friday,
Pam Bondi, the attorney general,
was talking about this Wisconsin judge,
the one who was smuggling the illegal alien
out of the courtroom.
And she described in some detail
how insane all of this was.
Take a look, cut seven,
here's Attorney General Pam Bondi
describing the insanity of the courthouse scene.
How rare for victims to want to cooperate.
They wanted to cooperate.
They were sitting in the courtroom with the state prosecutor.
The judge learns that ICE was outside to get the guy because he had been deported in 2013,
came back in our country, commits these crimes, charged with committing these crimes, victims
in court.
Judge finds out she goes out in the hallway,
screams at the immigration officers.
She's furious, visibly shaken, upset,
sends them off to talk to the chief judge.
She comes back in the courtroom.
You're not gonna believe this.
Takes the defendant and the defense attorney
back in her chambers,
takes them out of private exit and tells them to leave.
While a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence
are sitting in the courtroom.
Wow.
I mean, again, can it get more obvious than that?
Can it get more obvious than that?
Now, this is not the first time a judge
has been arrested and charged for doing this.
In fact, in the first Trump administration,
there was a judge who smuggled a defendant,
an illegal alien defendant out of the courtroom to avoid ICE enforcement.
And so the US attorney under President Trump slapped charges on this judge.
And then as the case continued over the years that ensued, guess what happened when Joe
Biden came into office?
Well, the Biden administration dropped all the charges
against this judge.
And so, you know, let me just make a recommendation
to the justice department, move quickly,
move with all the haste you can possibly muster
as you're prosecuting these judges
and please keep the arrests coming.
Any government official who's broken the law,
past, present, and of course, when it happens in the future,
arrest these guys, we
need these consequences. I'm begging you, I'm pleading with
you for this to continue. And I'm super happy to see it. And I
can't wait to see more. I can't wait to see more. And, you
know, really make an example out of these people. That's the
key. Another piece of what happened this past week that I gave you some perspective on.
When I was talking to Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary last week, I asked her about being
robbed at a DC restaurant and how her purse was stolen.
You saw this, right?
Her purse gets stolen, valuable purse.
It was a, I think some of the websites had a thing on it, the New York Post, the Daily
Mail. This was like a, I think it was like a $4,000 Gucci bag and she had something like $3,000
in cash in it.
She had all sorts of identification on her, that, you know, her passport, her ID, her
DHS security badge, everything inside of this bag.
And when we talked to Kristi Noem, she, first of all, that interview that I had with the DHS secretary, it blew up.
All over the media, people were waiting for the DHS secretary to weigh in on this subject.
Hey, what happened to you?
And the press began covering our interview right here on Vint.
And in fact, here's a, for instance, the New York Post, I'll show you just some of the
coverage.
New York Post here, let me get rid of that,
says that Kristi Noem opens up about shocking moment
thief hooked her Gucci bag away with $3,000 in it.
And she said, quote, professionally done.
And they described that she was telling this
to the Vince podcast.
And she wasn't sure whether she was targeted
because of her role as DHS boss,
or it was merely because she was a woman with a purse,
which I asked her about.
Take a look here, I'm gonna show you some of the scene
or the statement from Kristi Noem last week,
how this robbery was, in her words, professionally done.
Cut sex, here's Kristi Noem.
Restaurant and someone swiped your purse.
Who is in a COVID mask, by the way?
That tells you everything.
That's right, that tells you.
Did you ever get the purse back?
No, I didn't.
It was kind of shocking actually,
because it was sitting right by my feet.
I actually felt my purse.
He hooked it with his foot and drug it a few steps away
and dropped a coat over it and took it.
But I felt it, but I thought it was my grandkids
kicking me in the legs.
But that it was very professionally done.
And I think that is yes, the theft was and it tells me that this happens all the time
to people and that they live in communities where this is a danger and it reaffirms why
I'm here.
This was very professionally done, very professionally done.
Now I don't know about you, but that stood out to me when I heard that.
Well, wait a second.
That's, that is in part what led me to believe them.
Wait a second.
This person is targeting you because you're the DHS secretary, but she was giving us some
breadcrumbs there that the investigation the government was already undertaking believed
that the robber was a professional. And we have since learned that yes indeed,
he was in part, he was a part of a robbery ring
that does this quite a bit.
And in fact, here is the update from the New York Post
as a result of our conversation,
masked illegal immigrant who allegedly
stole Kristi Noem's Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash
and passport arrested, according
to federal government sources since confirmed by the Trump administration.
An illegal alien was arrested Saturday for stealing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's pricey
Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal items.
And a second migrant suspect is still on the loose, according to those sources.
Nome 53 was at an Easter outing with her family at a restaurant called the Capital Burger in
Washington. The thief steals the shoulder bag, the luxury shoulder bag, and it contained her
driver's license, her passport, her DHS badge, her apartment keys. That was all on April 20th.
The suspect was then busted later by DC Metro Police
and the Secret Service, which protects,
by the way, Kristi Noem.
The perp is believed to be a part
of a large East Coast robbery crew
and is expected to appear in court early this week
as law enforcement are hunting for his accomplice.
Officials are also looking for a second suspect who is also
reportedly an illegal alien. DC US attorney Ed Martin noted it is unlikely that she was
targeted based on the fact that she's the DHS secretary. Quote, there is no indication
it was because of that. Ed Martin told NBC News. Let me pause to emphasize something.
Ed Martin is a great American. Ed Martin is exactly
the man you want as US attorney for DC. He replaced an awful human being called Matthew Graves.
Matthew Graves is the US attorney who led almost all of the prosecutions against the January 6th
defendants. He was a part of crushing the lives of people who voted for Trump. And he didn't and then meanwhile, he didn't
enforce laws in DC. So an unusual situation for the for
the District of Columbia, because it's the nation's
capital, the US Attorney for the district is responsible for
prosecuting local crimes. So when Capitol Police or DC
Metro Police, when they cuff somebody in the district, you're
being prosecuted by the US Attorney's office in the District of Columbia.
That's the that's the unusual arrangement.
Most of the time US attorneys don't handle what we would refer to as like local crimes
or state crimes.
Those are handled by state's attorneys.
Here in DC, it's the US attorney that handles that.
Here's the problem though, when they were arresting people, when cops were cuffing people
in the district, Matthew Graves was not prosecuting 70% of all arrests.
So people would have handcuffs placed on them, these cops would put their lives on the line
to try and enforce the laws, and the left-wing, disgusting US attorney was spending all of
his time crushing Trump supporters
and none of his time going after actual criminals.
That was actually happening.
And now we've got Ed Martin in as the US attorney for DC.
It is a massive sea change.
So when you watch a crime like this take place,
where you've got a professional robbery ring
composed of illegal aliens,
straight up robbed the DHS
secretary.
As Tom Allman said today, they picked the wrong target.
They picked the wrong target.
And they've got this guy in custody.
And surprise, surprise, how often are you going to find something out like this?
It's another illegal alien.
What does the media tell us about this stuff?
Oh, they don't commit crimes.
They use this stupid phrasing.
Oh, immigrants don't commit crimes as often as American citizens. What the hell is wrong
with you? First of all, what kind of excuses? You know who really sucks? Americans. What
an idiotic retort. And then of course, that's another crime that would not have been committed
if Joe Biden didn't let him in the country.
And so the DHS secretary herself is being robbed by illegal alien crime rings.
And now we're uncorking that.
Now, here's what I'm hoping.
I'm hoping that this guy sings like a songbird, that he gives them everything, that they just
drill this guy and they get every piece of information out of him that they can and that they arrest every last person who touches this crime ring
and gets them out of our country.
Send them to El Salvador, baby.
Just get them out.
Send the message.
So a good ending to this story that that purse snatcher was caught and it turns out yet another
illegal alien and yet another
expression of the less betrayal of you. This guy should never have been in the country,
that would have never happened. And so to the extent, look, you measure your society based on
how much trust you can have in it, don't you? You know, can your kids go outside your house,
ride their bikes in the neighborhood? Can they do that? Can you leave your door unlocked if you wanted to? Is that even
possible? You know, what is what is your life like now versus
what did it used to be like? And increasingly, for far too many
Americans, we are living in a in a higher and higher distrustful
society, because of what the left has done. They've shown chaos in
our communities, creating an environment where neighbors don't
even know each other. A lot of neighbors, you know, in some cities, in some suburbs,
outside of Washington, D.C., it's definitely true, neighbors who don't even speak the same
language as one another. What does that do to your ability to have some commonality,
to trust one another? It diminishes it. It's a tower of babble effect. Can't even communicate.
You can't even start, you can't even get past the starting blocks. So the left has done
this to our country. And when you have to live in a world where you're keeping your
purse close to your feet to try and hold on to it, and they're still pickpocketing you,
they're still robbing you inside of a DC restaurant, inside of the nation's capital, well, that's
the low trust society that the left has built for us. And that's got to end. If we can turn that around, the Trump administration
desperately trying to do that, that's what we need to do. You want to have a community where
your kid can go out and ride that bike. You want to have a community where you know your family
can be safe if you decide to leave those doors unlocked. To leave the door open, get some fresh
air coming through the screen. That's all people want. And
that's what we need. What am I looking at here? What is this on
the? What is this on the screen? What the hell is wrong with you?
Is that? What is that? That's something I said earlier.
They just said it.
Did I just say that? What the hell is wrong? What the hell is
wrong with you? Yeah, I definitely feel like that. These
people drive me crazy.
They drive you guys crazy?
Okay, so we've got 100 days, 100 days
of the Trump administration.
There's some dispute.
I talked to Alex Pfeiffer last week about this.
He's like, it's on the 29th.
I was like, I'm pretty sure it's on the 30th.
Yeah, but we're counting the half day of the inauguration,
so it's officially on the 29th.
Whatever, I don't care either way.
I'm looking forward to the next 100 days.
I'm really enjoying this.
The first 100 days.
So we covered, let me just go over some of the lists here
because I was talking about some of this
with my colleagues at WMAL in Washington.
You guys know Chris Plant, Larry O'Connor,
Patrice Unwuka, Julie Gunlock, Mercedes Schlapp.
We just did it for WMAL last night.
We did an event at a great venue in Alexandria, Virginia called the Birchmere.
We do it every year there.
It's a great music venue.
But once a year, we get all these radio hosts together and we all join together on stage
and we were talking about what's going on.
And by the way, I didn't bother telling you about it because it was sold out months ago
when they first listed it. But we did this last night. And one of the core questions is,
what do you what did you think the biggest victories of the first 100 days are? What would
you what would you say is the biggest victory of the first 100 days? And the obvious one,
I think that screams at us is the border. The border is just the absolute biggest one to go from wide open, like people
being accelerated into the United States to lock down. And then we are now there are more
illegals leaving the country every day than coming in. We have a net decline in illegal
aliens. Massive, massive victory. So that is up there. Number one. Here's another one that I think is really
big. Defunding the left's slush funds. Defunding. You guys remember what happened when they
defunded USAID? USAID is an agency that almost nobody has spent any time thinking about.
Americans are aware it exists, but to the extent that most people spend any time thinking
about it at all, practically nonexistent. The left spends a lot of time thinking about USAID.
The reason for that is because they keep robbing you and then dumping that money into these
agencies that are stealing it to enrich their friends and advance the most demented policies
both here domestically and across the planet.
And so the Trump administration goes in, they defund USAID, they're doing it right
now to the colleges, defunding these federal, federally funded universities, Harvard and
all of them, who have been stealing from you. And then just indoctrinating the people who
go to those institutions. He's defunding all of these operations. And the left's panic
has risen astronomically. There's an inverse relationship between federal funding
and left-wing hysteria.
When federal funding goes down,
left-wing hysteria goes up.
And you saw it outside of USAID,
right after they defunded that operation,
which has been involved in regime change
and transgender comic books in Peru
and Sesame Street in Iraq.
Once they defunded that,
the left screeching reached unbelievable decibels.
You had Democrat members of Congress
who were storming into buildings
and demanding answers and justice.
It was insane.
You've got a hundred thousand Americans
who die every year in this country due to drug overdoses.
Never once have they mounted a valiant defense of the American citizen who's suffering under the weight of
that scourge.
But you go after USAID, baby, they're going to freak and they did.
So that's a big one.
I love what he's doing to defund the slush funds.
And I love what he's doing with the economy.
I love that he's forcing people to the table.
This trade, this trade stuff, the trade war that we've been on the receiving end and never
fighting back on President Trump defending us in the trade war, trying to fight to bring
people to the table.
Love seeing that in these first hundred days.
And now I also love, candidly, accountability.
These guys that are working inside of our Justice Department, inside of
the FBI, who've taken some time, they've been deliberative, they're looking at these guys,
they're trying to figure out what they can do with them to hold them accountable, especially
the guys who've been just trampling all over our civil liberties. We're beginning to see
the fruits of that right now. We're beginning. Everything from President Trump announcing
this big investigation into Act Blue. Trust me, I'm staying on that issue.
We've got a lot to talk about there.
And these judges being arrested, these federal officials being fired, we've seen FBI officials
being suspended.
I'm waiting with bated breath.
I want to see what happens next to these guys, the ones who've been suspended, who have just
crapped all over the American people.
So those first hundred days, they've been amazing. They've been like very dense and very fruitful. It's the next
hundred days that now all of a sudden I'm so very excited for.
I really am. And I'll keep bringing you the news as it
happens. And, you know, like I said last week, I told you, hey,
guys, hold on. We've got big news coming out of the FBI soon.
Public corruption, CCP in China.
Just wait for it.
And we're already starting to see the fruits of that.
So I'll keep whatever I'm here and I'm going to keep bringing you all these
updates because why wouldn't I?
It's the best damn audience in media.
Hey, thanks again for joining me today on Vince.
