So, on today's show, we will be talking to a veteran South Florida immigration attorney, because there's a lot of confusion about who of our friends is going to be going audios. We'll also be talking to John Morgan, the legendary Florida attorney
Starting point is 00:04:51 and a major duty Democratic fundraiser and donor about how the Democrats could fuck up a two car funeral. In the meantime, joining me live in studio is American Citizen, radio personality, podcaster, comedian, and future handmaiden, please welcome baby machine, Brittany Brave. And then I even did the IUD, which I hated that thing, the little metal thing they put in your uterus and it's how the Supreme Court tracks you, so no. Couldn't go to the beach in Miami
Starting point is 00:05:25 without an old man coming by with a metal detector. He was like, beep beep, oh yeah, mommy. Like, you know. I was like, hey, it's not a puppy, you know. He was looking for gold, but all I had was copper. Hi, Billy. Oh. Hi, Brittany. Hi. Oh. Hi, Brittany.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Hi. What the hell are you doing here? I'm here to hang out with you and commiserate about our terrible nation. And. Oh, you know what? You women, just you women. Always bitchin' about something.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I just always, with the nagging and the whining and the bitching. And the talking and the wanting fundamental rights. Hang on, hang on, white man talking. White man talking. Oh, I'm sorry. Please, quiet thing, quiet thing talking. White man talking, please, quiet. Quiet. Deport.
Starting point is 00:06:07 We can say that now. So you're mean to tell me that I can't role play with my Hispanic boyfriends and be like, deport me, papi. Well, I don't think you're gonna have that problem. I think you might, your boyfriend may have that problem. I know, but that was part of it. That was the role reversal.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I was like, you be the immigration officer and I be the Trump worshipping Cuban citizen. Role play. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Actually, moving forward, when I do hook up with straight men, if and when, yes, you have questions. No, no, you keep on peeling the onion.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I'll go back later. Yeah, well, I'm saying that, I don't know if I'm gonna be able or strong enough to engage in the 4b movement Which is complete abstinence But I will moving forward enforce that all straight men the dirty talk in the bedroom needs to be historical and empowering for women I don't want to be called baby or or bitch or any I want to be called Ruth Bader Ginsburg I wanna be called Baby or Bitch or anything. I wanna be called Ruth Bader Ginsburg. My lady. I want you to pull my hair and call me Hillary Clinton
Starting point is 00:07:09 and demand I show you the emails. Like, you know what I mean? Jesus Christ. Smack my ass and call me Nancy Pelosi. Okay, I'm sorry. I feel like we're getting a little sneak preview of the show this weekend. You have a show this weekend?
Starting point is 00:07:20 Is that why you're in Miami? Oh, that's right. I forgot. My biggest show in Miami ever, yes. I am headlining the Adrian Arsh Center for Performing Arts. The first comedian to do it, a woman in Trump's America, I know, is fucked up, but yeah. Can we still call it the Adrian Arsh Center? I mean, we're gonna put a woman's name on the building.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I know she wrote a check, one check for $30 million, by the way, Adrian Arsh did. But is that still? Name it after Corolla? Little Billy Corbin. Maybe call the little Billy Corbin center. How about the little Billy Corbin center? That sounded like John Morgan that's hilarious. This is your little twitter account little Billy. Sweet. Yeah seriously I don't know what you're doing here because as the mayor would say. In Miami we are definitely not woke. No, everyone's pronoun is bro in Miami. Everybody's, by the way, this is, because Miami has gone way un-woke.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, I hope you're aware of that. Oh yeah, have you really, have you swung the other way? This is a f**king minefield of misogyny and racism and jingoism. And yeah, like that's just the way it's gonna be from now on. Well, I feel comfortable because I've been dealing with that since birth, so.
Starting point is 00:08:31 At least throw me something that feels familiar, am I right? Okay. But yes, I'm at the Arts Center this Saturday, November 23rd. First comedian to do it. Oh, is that right? Yeah, first local comedian at least.
Starting point is 00:08:44 They don't really do a lot of stand up and they reached out to me because I'm pretty sure all the- You're the first local comedian to do Adrian Arshd? Yeah, to headline. Is that allowed? Is that- For you to do Adrian Arshd?
Starting point is 00:08:57 Actually, after the election results, they tried to revoke the weekend, but I said I got too much invested in this. I will be checking voter registration at the door. No, I kid Yeah, it's this Saturday and it's a farewell show because I am moving back to New York City January 1st because I got to go somewhere where we can be gay and the cream pies are reversible Oh my god, and people are smart and literate
Starting point is 00:09:20 Reversible common sense reversible cream pies exactly new band. Yeah, that's actually what Eric Adams platform was for. No, I'm kidding. Reversible Cream Pies actually sounds like somebody that would headline Coachella. That sounds like a band that would headline Coachella. Can you imagine that we live in a world in which Eric Adams got indicted before Francis Suarez? Like, how is that even possible?
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's, well, I think- Three Americas, actually. Well? Three Americas, actually. Well. Three Americas. Yeah. Well, first, he's a Democrat. Second, and I haven't been able to confirm this, I heard he's black.
Starting point is 00:09:52 What? I think that might be why we were able to indict him earlier. Is that true? I just want to let everybody know I have a few black friends. I mean, is that why he won? Is that why he won the race to indictment? Because it strikes me that they've done basically the same things. Is that why he won? Is that why he won the race to indictment?
Starting point is 00:10:05 Because it strikes me that they've done basically the same things. Like they're essentially like the same guy. I think Francis Suarez has a lot more outside employment and employers, but I don't really understand. The street team. How that. Yeah, the street team.
Starting point is 00:10:20 The street team, yeah. Same? Yeah, they put, yeah. It's a, I do think that that was his advantage, was being a black man. That's where the indictment came in a lot quicker. Is that how he found himself in handcuffs before, before anybody else?
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah. That'll do it. Yeah. I don't know if you, if you forget this about yourself, Billy, but when you're white, like you could do whatever you want and it's for you. Oh no. By God.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Oh no. I have not forgotten that. Yeah. I have not forgotten that. In. I have not forgotten that. In fact, I've embraced that wholeheartedly. I mean, honestly, getting a tax cut and some of y'all deported, I mean, that's what I won this election.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Don't have to worry about getting a ticket. Small. Oh, amazing. Don't have to worry about your safety when you walk down the street at night or at any hour of the day. I know that's entirely true in this town. That is true.
Starting point is 00:11:03 But I would say that everything's coming up Milhouse as far as this election is concerned for me. Yeah, it's nice to know that everybody around me hates women. That's been really comforting, everybody in this country. It's not everybody around you. It's mostly everybody. It's certainly over 53% of the women around you. Yeah, it's a big chittering.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Is what I would say. Yeah, and they also are very dead in the eyes as well too. Internalized misogyny going on, I think. Yeah, big time. What are you most looking forward to? We asked this question of Uncle Luke last show, because everybody's glass half empty, glass half, cream pie half empty.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, well, that's still not as reversible. Go on, I'm sorry, not to get into science. So what are you looking forward to from the next four years of American history? Pfft. Just glad that didn't come out the other end. It did, it did. Roy, we need to clean up.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Oh, oh no. Oh no. Yeah, janitor for that. You know what I'm looking forward, you know what I'm most looking forward to when I was actually thinking about this. And this is the one upside to this election. I think we have a sound reason to refuse to ever engage in a group photo ever again.
Starting point is 00:12:18 What does that mean? Because I can't take photos and be associated with people. I can't be standing next to people that voted my rights away. And I hate group photos. I hate group photos. I think they're cheesy after a comedy show, after an event, after a wedding, after a funeral, after an orgy. It's like, what do we need this for?
Starting point is 00:12:41 You know, after like riding Tower of Terror at Universal Studios. So I've always hated group photos. And now I have a reason for not engaging and for refusing them. I can say, I don't know who the fuck I'm standing next to. And I don't want people to assume I associate with them. I said it. Statistically speaking, though, you are going to be walking around even in New York, by the way, walking around among people who, as you say, voted your rights away. What are you gonna do about that? It's like almost, I don't know where
Starting point is 00:13:07 the popular vote count is now, it's almost what, 49 point something percent of the country. So. Well, the thing is I could just be myself more in New York. So even if I'm walking around people that didn't vote the way that I wanted them to, I can yell I'm having a gay abortion with Joe Biden and the way to get rid of it is the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And they're like, God, New York comedy is amazing. Like, it's just so, and it worse comes to worse if I hate my life in New York. It's only a matter of time before a random man comes by and punches me in the face. I hope they bring that back. Take me out of my misery. I would think that anybody in this country,
Starting point is 00:13:43 100% of the country would respect and admire Joe Biden impregnating you. At that age, being able to get it up. I mean, Robert De Niro. We can say that now. We'll be around. Robert De Niro did that though, right? Robert De Niro just like knocked somebody up.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Al Pacino. Al Pacino, that's who it is. I get my racist Italian uncles confused. Wait, who said they're racist? They're Italian. My uncle literally confused. Wait, who said they're racist? They're Italian. My uncle literally said the other day and he thought he was being so woke and progressive when he said this about immigration.
Starting point is 00:14:13 He goes, well, you can't deport everybody. It's like, who's gonna clean my house? That's my uncle. His name is Vito. No, those are the black jobs that Trump was talking about. That's gonna be problematic, by the way. There's no doubt about it. The impact that immigration or mass deportations
Starting point is 00:14:28 will have on the economy will have on people's help. One thing we'll have is fewer fire alarms here in the El Cidre house. In the middle of a podcast. Exactly. I think we just got, I think we got too woke. And I think- Immigrants keep pulling the fire alarm
Starting point is 00:14:43 is what I think is happening. We can say that now. And I think immigrants are keep pulling the fire alarm is what I think is happening Peloton has what you need to keep you on track to your goals.

Is she the best person? And for me, I don't think so. Every year people gather to play fantasy basketball
Starting point is 00:16:13 or fantasy football or whatever. And we're playing fantasy basketball, we would pick in one second, all of us probably, LeBron James. Well, we have that type of opportunity, but they seem to be squandering it by taking a lesser pick. And I don't like- Who's your party's LeBron James then, John? Who would match that?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Well, LeBron James is retired. His name was Barack Obama. So that was our LeBron James and Bill Clinton was our Michael Jordan. Those are once in a generation players. But there are people like Andy Beshear from Kentucky, Shapiro from Pennsylvania, Kelly from Arizona, Whitmer, and even, you know, Michelle Obama if somebody wanted to see if she's up for it. Sports! Had to come up with a sports metaphor there, Roy.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Who's the James Horton? We're gonna... All these sports metaphors make my dumb lady brain hurt. It's alright. Settle down, baby machine. So... We can say that now! So, that was a flashback Friday, by the way, that was July 23rd of the year of our Lord 2024. That was Florida attorney John Morgan really calling the game before it even started correctly, no less.
Starting point is 00:17:37 And I was going to introduce John as one of the most famous lawyers in the South. But then I went to LA a few weeks ago, and sure as shit, I'm driving from LAX to my hotel, and what do I look out my goddamn window and see? A giant fucking Morgan and Morgan billboard right in Los Angeles, and I'm like, holy shit, 3,000 miles away, I can't escape this guy. Move over, Pitbull, it's the new Mr. Worldwide.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yes, that's absolutely right. What area code are you in, John, right now? Right now, I'm at 407. Right, so he's gone from Mr. 407 to Mr. Worldwide, that's absolutely, or Mr. USA. John Morgan is joining us. John, there's been a lot of, we call it, Monday morning quarterbacking, a lot of autopsying here,
Starting point is 00:18:24 post-mortem-ing here on this election. But you were pretty well ahead of the curve and you were also an insider. I mean, you are a very prominent Democratic fundraiser and donor. You had raised a lot of money for your friend Joe Biden at the time and you kind of saw the writing on the wall. The way I looked at it at the time, and we didn't really talk about much about this publicly, a Democrats, I'm now an NPA, but you did, talking about the fact that if we're gonna coup the President of the United States,
Starting point is 00:18:54 the anointed successor has to be what I'd call a napalm candidate. It's gotta end the election right then and there. And when Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, it was still a tied score, and that did not bode well, obviously, for the incumbent administration. So, John, what did you see at that moment in time that troubled you, and you in fact actually pulled out
Starting point is 00:19:16 as being a donor to a Kamala Harris campaign? That's right. I saw her. I saw her in the primaries. When she ran for president, she got no delegates. She got 8% of the vote in her own state of California. She was beat badly. And while I like the idea of a woman president,
Starting point is 00:19:44 if you say, if you were a gist, it's like all of a woman president, you know, if you say you, if you were against her, it's like all of a sudden you're a misogynist because, you know, you're calling balls and strikes. It had nothing to do with that. I wanted, listen, nobody fought harder for Hillary than me. But I thought two things. One, I did not think that she would resonate to break through what had to be broke through,
Starting point is 00:20:07 which was the independence. That's who elects people now. I mean, 35% of the voters are Republicans, 32% are Democrats, 34% are independents. That's the game. And most of those independents are really Republicans or Democrats. They're like 6%. I saw that, plus I didn't like the idea of running on this whole campaign of, let's protect democracy when we don't have an election
Starting point is 00:20:34 to pick our own candidate. It was hypocritical. You mean the lack of a Democratic primary. Right, or a convention, a mini convention, something. You could have got in and picked Meg Whitmer from Michigan and Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, and that would have been one hell of a ticket. That would have taken care of Michigan.
Starting point is 00:20:57 That would have taken care of Pennsylvania, maybe. And if you save Wisconsin, you may be okay. But they didn't do that. Not only did they not do that, I believe she picked the guy from Minnesota because she didn't want to be challenged by somebody sharp like the guy from Pennsylvania. In business, a lot of times businesses go down A's, higher B's because they're intimidated by A's and then B's hire C's. You know, to build a great company, A's have to hire A's. Hire people better than you, smarter than you, make you better.
Starting point is 00:21:34 She got this, you know, high school assistant coach who didn't even carry his own district in Minnesota. I mean, you look, I know my high school assistant coaches and I don't see them as vice presidents. So you're talking, of course, about Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, who was, of course, Kamala Harris's running mate. I want to get to the nitty gritty here.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I mean, I feel that in all honesty, Joe Biden probably would have won at least Pennsylvania. I'm thinking Joe Biden probably performs better than Kamala Harris performs if he made it to the finish line here. But I mean, I just really thought that everybody talking about how like, oh, the vice president is next in line. Oh, how can we leapfrog a woman of color? And I'm like, first of all, the vice president is not next in line.
Starting point is 00:22:21 OK, is not the presumptive nominee. And I'll tell you how I know, 2016 is how I know, because Joe Biden didn't run for president in 2016. And had he run for president in 2016, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation because he would have won, okay, in 2016 against Donald Trump. And it strikes me, and I just, I feel like we have to have this conversation quite openly
Starting point is 00:22:39 because, Brittany, let me just tell you, as a young woman in this, in America, you can be anything you want to be, dream big, grow up, and you could do anything except be president. Let's be perfectly real about this because it was 2016 all over again, but worse. They're like, we're not just gonna nominate Hillary Clinton, we're gonna nominate a woman of color in this country.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I have to say it because we can say that now. I mean, this just seemed like doomed from do you understand a chance doomed from the doomed from the start? And what do you think, John? Well, 100 percent. Look, I think what happens is we know what happened. Pelosi thought there was going to be a convention. Obama did not endorse her for five days.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Here's the dirty little secret. Obama didn't want her. Obama didn't want her. Pelosi didn't want her. But Biden, I believe, and look, I'm gonna be at the White House tomorrow for a dinner, I think Biden was pissed that he was pushed out and he said, f*** you. And when he said f*** you, there's Harris.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And Obama waited for five days, you know, and then all of a sudden everybody had to coalesce around her because they're running out of time. And with Harris, it looked like here's how the election went. People who voted for Harris were voting against Trump. People who voted for Trump were voting for Trump. When they're not voting for you, but against your opponent, that's a tough climb and she couldn't make it. She didn't make the case.
Starting point is 00:24:11 The other problem she had is she could never untether herself from Biden. It's Harris Biden. It's the Harris Biden, Biden Harris economy. And she couldn't go out and she wouldn't go out and say, look, I think Joe's up. Let me tell you what I'd do different. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I also think, though, that you're talking about issues now. I don't think this election was about issues. It was not about competency or character. This election was about this. And it began with defund the police. It began with defund the police it began with transgender swimmers This election was more about woke
Starting point is 00:24:52 Transgender swimmers and defund the police than it was about the inflation in the war in Ukraine But yeah, but those culture wars are not democratic culture wars. Those are Republican culture wars Democrats Don't really give a shit about them. They're just like, where are these people going to go to the bathroom? Like, can we just have like, where are they going to go? They got to go somewhere. Republicans want to run on those issues. But those issues and day one mass deportations do not help the economy. In fact, quite the opposite. So that's why I'm saying this wasn't an election about issues. This is the WWE. And that's what the Democrats keep f**king missing.
Starting point is 00:25:26 This isn't about competency or character or commitment to the Constitution. As far as I'm concerned, the Democrats should have nominated Tom Hanks and Mark Cuban or Oprah and Michelle Obama. Anybody who could win. It didn't matter who was competent, who was next in line, the bullshit petty politics of,
Starting point is 00:25:43 we can't leapfrog this person in the vice president. That was a losing proposition. But don't forget this. If they had leapfrog Harris, she would have thrown a shit fit. A shit fit. And she would have been saying these things that, you know, we know she'd be saying. Like what? This is racism. This is misogynism. This is okay. This is about winning. This is about winning an election is what it
Starting point is 00:26:13 should have been. But all she can listen, she cares about her. Not about us. And that's why she would have done it because she had one chance at the brass ring. But then she was right there. And by the way, don't forget, she thought she was going to win. Oh, core shit. Yeah, I think she did as well, too. And I think she all you got to do is watch her in these rallies. She didn't walk.
Starting point is 00:26:40 She pranced, you know, when you walk, I mean, you know, when people walk with confidence, when you know what somebody mean, you know how people walk with confidence when you know when somebody's getting ready to come up and give a speech or sing a song? Like, hey, that mother-fucker can sing. And then he sings. You know, by the way they walk, when she was walking with Oprah,
Starting point is 00:26:55 she was walking with confidence. She thought she was gonna win because they told her she was gonna win. Yeah. They had $ million dollars. But listen, you guys are in Florida. I'm in the Wall Street Journal today being quoted. They were running tons of ads in Florida.
Starting point is 00:27:16 That was like, as I said in the Wall Street Journal this morning, it's like filling a wheelbarrow full of millions and millions of dollars and just catching it on fire. I mean, Trump was not going to win or lose Florida. a wheelbarrow full of millions and millions of dollars and just catching it on fire. I mean, Trump was not gonna lose Florida. He won by 13 effing points. But who was buying these ads? Who was running this campaign?
Starting point is 00:27:36 There needs to be a colonoscopy on the waste. How about an audit? And an audit. And they end up with $20 million in debt at the end of a $2 billion campaign. Jesus. Yeah. How could that be? I'll tell you how it can be.
Starting point is 00:27:53 When you pay Oprah's production company $2.5 million for the production, when you pay to put her on the sphere in Nevada, when you spend tens and tens of millions of dollars in Florida, the most effective ad sheet that Trump had was the transgender ad, and they never pushed back on that. I talked to Bill Clinton about that, he said they've gotta answer it, they never did. They never did, and that ad ran 60% of the time, because that pisses people off.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Why does it piss, people don't care about transgender. Look, whoever you are is who you are and who you should be. But parents believe it's unfair for a biological male to be playing with their girls and competing with their girls. There's a unfairness and it resonated with the voters. Yeah I would agree. I think that's like one of the main criticisms I heard as well too is her emphasis on social issues versus
Starting point is 00:28:54 real issues but to your point about everybody internally and everybody around her really thinking that she was going to win the election. A friend of mine who works in politics and is a Democrat and was a big Harris supporter I had asked her I said, how are you feeling going into this election? And she was at a Harris-Waltz rally in DC the day before and she said, oh my god, the energy was amazing there And I was like, well, that's yeah I would assume it is everybody who was there was was a supporter of her and planning to vote for her, but that tonality and that vibe, if you will, is not necessarily reflective of everything else
Starting point is 00:29:30 across the nation. And I did vote for her, obviously, but because it was choosing between the lesser of two evils. And even I can tell you the celebrity endorsements, the brat lingo, it was lost on me. But I was going after younger voters. But let me say- But that's how they filled the ratings.
Starting point is 00:29:51 But let me say this though, is that to be fair, looking at the numbers, then Kamala Harris is going to have the third most popular votes of any presidential candidate in history. Biden is safe at number one, Donald Trump will come in with second, I think he's inching above 49 to 50% of the popular vote. She got votes and as John said,
Starting point is 00:30:13 perhaps those were people voting against her opponent rather than voting for her, which is problematic. But I wanna leave on this thought, John, because we are in Florida, we are Florida men. And I wanna talk about the money that was wasted here. But it was literally lighting it on fire. I agree. Every time I saw Harris saying, I'm like, what are they doing? What are they doing? It's like spending in a real swing state.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. Yeah. So. So my question is, though, we heard a lot of I resigned from the Miami Day Democratic Executive Committee and switched my I've only been a Democrat in the state of Florida from or period from 2018 to 2024. I'm now back to where I was for the first you know 30 years of my life thereabouts in NPA and because of the grifting because of Nikki Fried's big lie, Florida is in play and I you, all year long, every time I heard it, I played Whac-A-Mole with it. And I retweeted, I said, Florida is not in play. We need to stop gaslighting ourselves and our donors and our voters.
Starting point is 00:31:14 This is a rebuilding year. I'm a Dolphins fan. I know a lot about rebuilding years. Okay? So, you know. So, absolutely. So, what I'm saying is, what does does Florida do when you got these grifters running the party? That Florida in play thing, you know what that was. That was to get money
Starting point is 00:31:31 from the national party so they could pay their consultant cartel that has held this party hostage down here for basically 30 years. The Democrats have been a nonentity since the turn of the century, since Jeb Bush was the governor. Alonso Charles was the last of the Mohicans. Yeah, and they're telling us Florida is in play. That was insane bullshit. So what do we do down here? Because I believe in competition. I'm a capitalist.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I believe in a robust, you know, challenging each other on ideas and parties. It's funny you should say that, capitalist, because today, I'm an MPA also, and have been ever since the squad and the socialists came, they started putting the word socialist at the end of democrat. I'm with the Bernie Sanders, democratic socialist. But Phil Levine, who's your mayor down there, he and I are kind of- He's not anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:25 He was a former Miami Beach mayor. Right. But he and I, he wrote me today and I said, I've got to, if we're going to have a third party, you know what the name of my party would be? The capitalists. Just own it. The capitalists, not the socialists, not the Republicans, not the Democrats. We are the capitalists. We are the capitalistic party.
Starting point is 00:32:47 We believe, we believe in capitalism and we also believe in taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. That's the American way. That's the American way. We don't listen. The MAGA people are mad because they're mad. They're mad because they're followed behind.
Starting point is 00:33:04 But listen, I got news for the MAGA people. All because they're mad. They're mad because they're falling behind. But listen, I got news for the MAGA people. All these illegal immigrants you're worried about, find me one American that lost their job to an illegal immigrant. They don't, because Americans aren't gonna pick fruit. They're not gonna wash windows 50 floors up. It's gonna be a small Guatemalan up there.
Starting point is 00:33:24 You're not gonna to ever see some corn-fed guy from Nebraska up on a scaffold. We need the illegal immigrants. The economy would crash without the illegal immigrants. But the MAGA people think that they're their problems on the right, and on the left, they just want free money. I think they also just think that having them here is just tarnishing what they believe true, what they believe America is. By the way, what's interesting, the Venezuelans, the Cubans, they were moved toward Trump because
Starting point is 00:34:03 they're like, I'm in, I got mine, keep everybody else out. Once we get ours, I got mine. I understand the frustration. I don't know the actual solution, but we need these 13 illegals to do the work that will not be done by Americans. They'll be done by Mexicans.
Starting point is 00:34:21 They'll be done by the lady who takes care of my place is from El Salvador. She's here legally, so they'll be sent ICE up here. But she is a... I'm on my way. We have a narc here in the studio. They're not going to get rid of them. They're going to go through and make a lot of eye watchers. There's not going to be a wall.
Starting point is 00:34:41 They're not going to get rid of them because guess what? They can get rid of them tomorrow if they want to. You know how? Make it a third degree felony, $100,000 fine to hire one. You do that and they're all gone tomorrow. All the farmers, all the janitorial services, they're all paying illegal immigrants. If you want to get rid of the illegal immigrants in this country, it's a felony. You go to prison for a year and you pay a hundred thousand dollar fine and you don't need ice.

There are a lot of immigrants in this country who are like Grover in, there's a monster at the end of this book. You're undocumented and you support Donald Trump. I support Donald Trump for the economy. monster at the end of this book. who work on a farm, they're doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do. Does that worry you? That wouldn't be fair. Of course, you know, they need to make sure
Starting point is 00:37:27 that they don't throw away, they don't kick out, they don't deport people that are family-oriented. If you get deported, would you regret your support to Donald Trump? He's saying that he wouldn't regret supporting Donald Trump. Do you have a plan in case you get deported? I respect the decision. I leave the country. So, clearly, there's a lot of confusion,
Starting point is 00:37:50 even from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, about what is going to happen with the promised denaturalization and mass deportation plans that have been promised basically from day one of the new administration, which is right around the corner at the end of January. And- If we make it. I think we'll make it.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I think we'll be okay. I think this reality show is going to be a blast. Are you sure about that? I think this reality show is gonna be a blast. What are you worried about, World War III? Yes. Fair point. I need a lobotomy.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Adaposo, another one? Yeah. Ada Pozo is a veteran immigration attorney here in South Florida. You can find her at pozogoldstein.com. And Ada, I guess I should, right off the bat, is I imagine you've been getting telephone calls from concerned residents, clients, both naturalized and not naturalized. And what seems to be on the forefront of everyone's minds
Starting point is 00:38:50 right now that you are hearing from? What are their fears, their concerns, and what are you telling them? Yeah, Billy, unfortunately, my phone's been ringing off the hook and everybody is just panicked. And that's exactly what this administration wants. I mean, Tom Coleman has said it himself, shock and awe. That's what they want. They want to come in on day
Starting point is 00:39:09 one, bring in massive police presence, even bring in the military to just round up everybody who's here illegally and deport at least a million people in his first year. That's what he says he wants. So everybody's panicked. They want to know, is that going to be me? What are the priorities? Who are they going to try and deport first? But what if I have kids? Those are all the questions I'm getting on a daily basis. And it's, it's very sad. It's people are here in South Florida. People in Florida are wondering if they should leave the state because we know very well that our governor is going to cooperate fully with whatever Trump would like him to do to help deport people. So it's just a mass panic right now is what I'm
Starting point is 00:39:46 hearing from all my clients or potential clients that are calling the office. So Tom Homan is the president elect's incoming border czar. He served as the acting head of immigration and customs enforcement ice during the first Trump administration and he's been making the rounds on news 60 minutes talking about as you said the shock and awe on day one and that really I guess is the question right what is the criteria going to be I have a lot of immigrant friends and neighbors I guess it's not my problem I can say as a as a
Starting point is 00:40:18 white man born in America whose parents were born in America whose their parents were born in America their grandparents were born in America I don't know how far back they're going to go to denaturalize here, but is that the question? What is the criteria going to be? Where are they gonna start first? What do we know? I think we do know that they have said
Starting point is 00:40:33 they're going to target so-called criminals or people, whether they are naturalized or not, people who had been convicted of crimes, right? The easy one to say is criminals. So I think everybody agrees, if you've been convicted of crimes, right? The easy one to say is criminals. I think everybody agrees, if you've been convicted of violent crimes, that you should be put in deportation proceedings. So that's the easy one.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But the other thing that President-elect Trump is saying they're gonna prioritize is people that have final orders of deportation. Most people with final orders of deportation in this country are not criminals. There are a lot of people that didn't go to court, so they ended up with an order of deportation and absentia. There are a lot of people that didn't go to court. So they ended up with an order of deportation and absentia.
Starting point is 00:41:06 There are a lot of people that may be lost in a silent claim, but have been here for many, many years and are working, paying taxes and have no crime. So it's not just people that are criminals that are going to be deported. It's going to be the lowest hanging
Starting point is 00:41:18 fruit because we know he wants the most massive, ginormous deportation that this country has ever seen. And it's going to be the easiest people to deport, which are people with finalormous deportation that this country has ever seen. And it's gonna be the easiest people to deport, which are people with final orders of deportation, and yes, also people with serious criminal convictions. Now you say violent crimes,
Starting point is 00:41:33 but down here in South Florida, particularly, a lot of people have been convicted of Medicare fraud, a lot of people have been convicted of drug-related crimes that may be considered nonviolent, but are pretty serious felonies in the face of defrauding the taxpayers and the federal government in terms of, you know, poisoning the streets with drugs from, you know, Latin America into this country. So and some of those folks are naturalized. That's the thing too, is that people hear a lot about illegal immigration, but they're talking
Starting point is 00:41:59 about and Stephen Miller, who is going to be, I mean, beyond the border czar, he really is Trump's guru of immigration, has said quite openly that denaturalization is on the table, which means that people who have become citizens, right, might not be citizens anymore and then might be deported. Yes, I mean, we saw this in a smaller scale during Trump's first administration. It was Operation Second Look,
Starting point is 00:42:24 where they went back into the naturalization applications of people and see if there was any kind of fraud that was committed and they tried to denaturalize people. Didn't get very far, but they've promised it this time it's going to be Operation Second Look. Turbocharged is the term that they use. That they're really going to go after people to try and see if, for example, when on that citizenship application, when people apply to naturalize it, ask if you've ever committed a crime for which you have not been arrested. People answer no.
Starting point is 00:42:52 A couple of years later, they maybe get convicted of a crime and it turns out that they were involved in that scheme before they naturalized. That would be grounds to denaturalize someone. But the whole process is in a federal court. This isn't something Trump can come in and say, you, you, you, you're denaturalized. There is a process in federal court. And this process though has no right to counsel. So if you get put in a denaturalization process
Starting point is 00:43:14 and you can't afford an attorney, good luck. You're gonna have to represent yourself against the United States government trying to take away your citizenship. It appears like as if he's just gonna do whatever he can to meet this quota of deporting one million Americans or one million. Self quota.
Starting point is 00:43:29 It's a self-made quota. Self-made quota, right? Per usual, he's going to make up all of his own rules. I think if you look at day one of the previous Trump administration with the Muslim ban, it was like chaos. So I mean, there's no telling. He's already said that he's going to use the military to enforce this policy, whatever this policy may ultimately be.
Starting point is 00:43:48 So, I mean, very well could see soldiers on the streets of American towns rounding up immigrants. We have, the state of Texas has volunteered, I think, what, thousands of acres of property to build deportation camps. You know, a place for people to go and think and really concentrate at these camps. If you think about it.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Really, do you call them even concentration camps? You know, if you think about it. And so, where do we, we just keep talking about where do we begin, but like they've already said that TPS is also, this is a, TPS is a policy that Congress created back in, I think 1990, for temporary protective status. It's a humanitarian effort for people whose countries
Starting point is 00:44:26 are entumbled of which there are countless Haiti among them. And so people are not going to be protected anymore by these laws. And I'm kind of wondering though about the Cuban Adjustment Act. A lot of my Cuban friends feel that they are safe from these policies. And I have to wonder, we talked about Stephen Miller, who of course has been an authority on immigration policy for Donald Trump through all these years.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Katie Miller, of course, is his wife. She's a Florida woman. She was a communications director for the vice president. And I'll never forget what she said back during the first administration when people were concerned about the family separation policy. Listen to this. Katie Miller, she was spokesperson at DHS during the family separation crisis, a vocal, unwavering defender of what we were doing, taking these kids away from their parents.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Katie Miller told Jacob Soboroff, quote, My family and colleagues told me that when I have kids, I'll think about the separations differently. But I don't think so. Homeland Security sent me to the border to see the separations for myself, to try to make me more compassionate. But it didn't work." End quote.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Jacob responds, quote, It didn't work? I will never forget what I saw. Seriously. Are you a white nationalist? He asked, exasperated. No, she said, but I believe if you come to America, you should assimilate.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Why do we need to have like little Havana? Why do we need to have like little Havana? Because our neighborhoods are segregated down here? Well, that's true. But, you know, it makes me wonder, you know, we had talked about this on the last show about the English-only ordinance that was passed overwhelmingly on a referendum in Miami-Dade County in 1980. This after the County Commission had acknowledged that we are already by the late 70s a bilingual community. And we are in fact today, now 40 years later, we are a minority majority community.
Starting point is 00:46:18 And it makes me concerned about the culture of and future of this community. Otto, what do you make of that? Is anybody safe? If TPS doesn't protect anybody, does the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 protect anybody? Well, the Cuban Adjustment Act is not really gonna help a lot of people anymore because we don't have wet foot, dry foot.
Starting point is 00:46:39 So ever since wet foot, dry foot got taken off, then when a Cuban tries to enter the United States, they're not given any kind of admission. They're not given a parole document, which is what used to happen when they would come in under Wetfoot Dryfoot. So now when Cubans come in, they're never technically admitted into the United States. They're placed in court proceedings without being admitted. And the Cuban Adjustment Act requires that the Cuban national have been admitted a year and a day ago in order to qualify for residence. So we've seen a watering down of the Cuban
Starting point is 00:47:11 Adjustment Act since wet foot, dry foot has been taken away. The only Cubans that really benefit nowadays from the Cuban Adjustment Act are the ones that are managed to come over here on a parole, which we know the humanitarian parole is going to be gone now under Trump. The ones that come in without parole or Cuban nationals that happen to have another citizenship, for example, that also have citizenship from Spain, and they enter the United States on an ESTA, a visa waiver, then they're able to apply for residence under the Cuban Adjustment Act.
Starting point is 00:47:38 But those are really the only Cubans that can use it. Now it's been watered down a lot, and I suspect that it's gonna be watered down more when now we're not even gonna have the option of the humanitarian parole for Cuba. But that is forward facing though. I'm talking about backward facing, meaning you have naturalized Cuban immigrants,
Starting point is 00:47:54 but is it possible to see some of them denaturalized and deported? Well, they would have to. The United States Supreme Court did find that in a unanimous decision that in order to denaturalize someone, there has to have been a material fraud that was committed. So it's not just, oh, the Cuban Adjustment Act is no longer here, we're going to take away your residence. No, it has to be that they have to prove that that Cuban national
Starting point is 00:48:18 or any other national for that matter in de-naturalization proceedings committed a material fraud, lied about something on their application that had they told the truth, they would have likely been denied. That's what the government is gonna have to prove to denaturalize anyone who has already become a United States citizen in this country. Now, is it gonna become harder to become a US citizen?
Starting point is 00:48:37 I believe so, that absolutely, it's gonna become a lot harder. So obviously in your line of work, you had mentioned up top that naturally you're experiencing a lot of panic from clients or potential clients and paranoia. And then I'm curious about the other side of that perspective, which we run into often in Miami,
Starting point is 00:48:54 which is Cuban Americans and or Cuban people idolizing Trump blindly and idolizing this administration. So what's the ratio between people that are legitimately concerned for themselves and their family versus people that think that they are invincible quite like President-elect Donald Trump? Like are you seeing a lot of a lack thereof of rightful paranoia and people thinking oh it won't happen to me because that to me has always been the most disheartening and confusing sentiment is so many individuals fight so hard to get
Starting point is 00:49:25 to come into this country and they speak like as if they're proud of their culture and they speak like as if they're proud of their nationality and then the second that they are able to achieve some level of citizenship they turn to their very brothers and sisters of Cuban descent and they say okay no no no like a Miami nightclub list is full nobody else can come in you know so I'm wondering you know obviously you're seeing the panic, but are you seeing the delulu for lack of a better term? I think I saw a lot more of the delulu before the elections.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think now that plans are becoming clearer, it's people are starting to go, Oh, wait a minute. We mess around and now we're going to find out. I mean, I've had people sitting in my office before a couple where the husband is a United States citizen, the wife is undocumented. And I tell them, look, we have to, you know, it's things are probably going to change with the election.
Starting point is 00:50:13 So you might want to file now in the election. If Trump doesn't win, I'm leaving. I'm like, no, I don't mean that they're going to change and make it easier for your undocumented wife. Oh, well, no, no, no. She's married to me. So everything's going to be fine. There still is a lot of that level of delude, as you say. But I think that the more and more we start seeing the videos
Starting point is 00:50:31 of the military or law enforcement, ICE agents and people getting picked up and families getting separated, I think that that's going to go away pretty quickly. If Trump doesn't win, I'm leaving voluntarily. Now, if Trump does win, I'm leaving voluntarily. Now if Trump does win, I may be leaving involuntarily.

Former Miami City Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla has been cleared of all criminal corruption charges against him. In a statement, Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor said his team concluded there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction. Diaz de la Portilla was suspended from the commission last year following his arrest.
Starting point is 00:53:23 He was accused of secretly taking payments from the owners of a private school in exchange for support to build an athletic complex on public land in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. ["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] The Miami mafia is undefeated. I mean, undefeated. So the Broward State Attorney's Office got this case because Miami-Dade State Attorney Catherine Fernandez Rundle was conflicted out because she's like a part of the incestuous cesspool of corruption down here. So she's
Starting point is 00:54:01 like, no, no, I got a conflict. I'm going to kick this up to Broward, which Governor DeSantis did by order and then they indict these guys they arrest them they booked them they mugshot them there's like a trial date and then they do more investigation like you know what on second thought all of this was kosher all of the alleged bribery and money laundering and campaign finance laws that we indicted them and charged them with breaking. That's all our bad. I'm not gonna lie, when you were saying they indicted them,
Starting point is 00:54:31 they arrested them. I thought the next one rule of threes was gonna be, and then they let them run for president of the United States. Well, actually what happened was Ron DeSantis removed or suspended Miami City Commissioner Alex Diaz LaPortilla from office. And then he ran for reelection
Starting point is 00:54:46 like a couple months later and lost to Miguel Gabela who's now the District One Commissioner in the city of Miami. But this guy, I can't, this is the thing, we are in a golden age of corruption. And like as I always say, the Miami of today is the America of tomorrow. So all of these red flags and all of these indicators
Starting point is 00:55:04 and like, you know, you were saying, you're saying, speak of red flags. Speak of red flags. I know them so well. I actually gravitate towards them, actually. It's like, man, if he's got a beer gut and he smokes American spirits, sign me up. Anyways, I like that you said
Starting point is 00:55:20 that we're in the golden age of corruption. Like that's notable given the fact that it's Miami. Like every year feels like the golden age of corruption, like that's notable given the fact that it's Miami, like every year feels like the golden age of, how do you determine? Because it's cyclical certainly, but like the only analog of this in Miami history is from about 1997 to 2001, where we had like, where the corruption
Starting point is 00:55:40 just got so out of hand, you had the arrest of multiple city officials, multiple county officials, and it all culminated in 2001 with the arrest of then Miami mayor, Joe Corollo. He's a white, be a white, be a, yeah that's Joe Corollo. On domestic violence charges.
Starting point is 00:56:01 You need this, you need a Grammy. I mean the musical. I need an enema. You need it. You and me both. You need a Grammy. The musical commentary is A plus. You're goddamn right, Meatball. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:11 You keep body shaming me with that Meatball. It's because I'm Italian and a legal midget. That's rude. Okay. Here's the thing though about that 97 to 2001 era. People were arrested. People were killed. People were killed.
Starting point is 00:56:19 People were killed. People were killed. People were killed. People were killed. People were killed. People were killed. People were killed. People were the thing though about that 97 to 2001 era. People were arrested, people were convicted, some people weren't, but the most important thing
Starting point is 00:56:33 is that law enforcement did their job. Now there are no checks and balances. Now somebody gets arrested and the state attorney's office, the prosecutor's like, oh no, our bad. They're actually cool. Everything we said that they did that was illegal, everything we described as bribery and money laundering, psych bad, they're actually cool. Everything we said that they did that was illegal, everything we described as bribery and money laundering,
Starting point is 00:56:47 psych, like we're just playing. Every time you walk into the office, they're like, it's opposite day. So this is the problem. So when you say, how can you tell this is the golden age of corruption in Miami, it's because of the lack of accountability. That's the major difference now than I think ever before
Starting point is 00:57:03 because we did see people not only indicted, but we didn't see the charges dropped. We saw cases either end in guilty pleas or in convictions. And now what we're seeing is the very people who are supposed to be holding these folks accountable in law enforcement, in the state attorney's offices, they're just like, f***ing up and sort of acknowledging that they're f***ing up.
Starting point is 00:57:25 They're aware of it. Yeah, it's, and by the way, if these guys did nothing illegal, how did they get arrested? How did they get indicted? How did they get charged? Like that's- You sound like me after I left my very abusive ex
Starting point is 00:57:37 and everyone was like, is he really that bad of a guy? I was like, you know, he did get arrested. You do have to do something bad sometimes to get arrested. That's, but that's Miami. You do have to do something bad sometimes to get arrested. That's Miami. Like that's the relationship here. This is a very abusive, I feel, relationship where the government really does victimize its residents. And they weaponize government to victimize the residents.
Starting point is 00:57:57 And then the police and prosecutors go, that's kosher. Yeah, well, I mean, I think that they're trying to set a precedent of a lack of accountability because it's only a matter of time before their own transgressions rise to the surface. And here's the thing about that. We've been talking about the Floridafication of America, you know, Miami and the Florida of today is the America of tomorrow. And we're kind of ahead of the curve.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Full Florida. We're going full Florida. It's always it's TD Ullman, the magic city. Rest in peace, TD Ullman. Like that's where like the concept of the Miami of today is the America of tomorrow comes from, that every challenge we'll face or crisis that will befall us as a nation in the years
Starting point is 00:58:32 or even decades to come all happened in Florida and particularly South Florida. Or the guinea pig. First, already. Right. And we export the f***ery nationwide. And we really have this time, but Florida, or I should say America's getting a little less Florida this week when Matt Gaetz announced
Starting point is 00:58:50 that he is not, that he's withdrawing his name from contention as United States Attorney General. You're asking us, Matt Gaetz. Which I for one am kind of bummed about. Yeah, you were bummed. I was, I mean, Roy and I got the news in real time and we felt like we manifested it because we were just talking a whole bunch of shit about it. You f***edmed. I was, I mean, Roy and I got the news in real time and we felt like we manifested it because we were just talking a whole bunch of shit about it.
Starting point is 00:59:08 You f***ed up. I know. Again, like I said, a black man and a white, young, bicurious woman. Just f***ing up the country. F***ing up the country. Trump is right, we need to be deported. But we were celebrating and then Billy-
Starting point is 00:59:21 We can say that now. We can say whatever we want now. God damn right, meatball. That's right. Damn it. At least call me Mara Nara like the other girls. Because you're spicy. Because I'm spicy, thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:32 That spicy is like a euphemism for a bitch. But I apologize, I'm sorry. No, I accept. We can say that now. I don't apologize. We were rejoicing and Billy walks in and Billy's much smarter than than I am and Billy goes no No, no just whiter and penis ear
Starting point is 00:59:49 Which equals smarter and superior? Goddamn right. Yeah, and he walks in he goes this is bad because if you thought he was terrible, it's about to get worse Yeah, but it's not only that it's all downhill from that Gates is that like Matt Gates is fun Like this is a reality show president. We're getting a reality show administration. He's fun, he's a pedophile. If you're a criminal at this point, one of two things is happening. You're getting deported
Starting point is 01:00:10 or you're gonna join the administration. And I just, I don't know, I think there's, as Uncle Luke would say, like grab the popcorn. Like this is what the voters wanted and this is what we shall get. I have to say whoever the casting director for this season of America is deserves an Emmy. They're crushing it. I just love it. I just heard say whoever the casting director for this season of America is deserves an Emmy. They're crushing it.
Starting point is 01:00:26 I just love it. I just heard too that Trump is going to create the Department of Vibes and appoint P. Diddy as the social chair. Grab the baby oil, Roy. Oh, please. We have some in the closet. And I think the Department of Interior might be JD Vance
