Kathy Hockel is totally ending her career. I mean, you get the feds moving in, right? You get the Ninth Circuit Court saying basically Trump can federalize the National Guard when you have lawmakers that are refusing, absolutely refusing to enact and carry out the law. And not only are they refusing in New York now, they're doubling down and they're putting taxpayer money. I mean, hey, they think they're going to get a salt deduction? Are you kidding me with this kind of stuff? That's where your money's going?

I don't think so. Kathy Hockel coming out and saying this, it is so disgustingly political. And I don't get it because I'm telling you, her polling is underwater all through the state, and she just sunk herself. This is the end. Mark my words. Governor Hockel will be no more because in most of New York, this is not going to fly. Let's cue the tape for one governor of New York, Kathy Hokel.

They're walking out of this courthouse, taken away from their families. They don't have the attention. They don't have the lawyers. And that's why the state of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal services where people are fining themselves in this situation. Hey! And she had more to say about her trip to Little Haiti and how frightened everybody was there. Let's listen in. Do you want to know what I really think?

Please. It's bull-oh. How dare they take... take an elected official who's been going down there for weeks to escort people who are afraid to walk into a courthouse in the United States of America. So Brad Lander has stepped up to be a guiding help for them. And this is what happens to them. What the hell is happening to this country? I just left Little Haiti.

People are being traumatized. Small businesses. People walking down the street. When I was there in August, the streets were mobbed. People were walking down the sidewalks. There were vendors everywhere. The traffic was crowded.

Today, there was silence. People are living in fear. One woman just told me the ICE agents are going in and out of buildings there. So the reason for this is because the Supreme Court has just allowed the Trump administration to end a parole program that was put in for some migrants

by the Biden administration. lower court had blocked the move to cancel temporary, temporary protections for about 500,000 people, actually somewhere around 532,000 non-citizens that were being brought in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. And so the Trump administration said, you know, why were they doing this? Like, why were we having all of the 532,000 people? I mean, you can guess why, right? Again, it's political.

Back in the day, Obama was deporting 1,000 people a day, and he said he had to because he had to enforce the law. and the way the law stands is that the federal government is in charge of making sure that the naturalization process is on the up and up, and you can't have people just coming in, in, in, and in, and in, and bleeding the system dry. So these are his words, okay, he was all over this, and now, because Donald Trump wants to do it, again, it's political, very political, so they're saying, not allowed, not okay, and we're going to take taxpayer dollars to try to fight this from a legal perspective. But good luck, guys, because the Supreme Court, just late last month, early this month, allowed for the Trump administration to revoke all those temporary protections to the 532,000 non-citizens

from all those different countries. And so because of that, you now have ICE saying, look, if you're here illegally and if you've committed a crime, you're out. And they're going around and they are trying to make these arrests. But don't tell, you know, the New York City comptroller that, who's trying to get his 60 minutes of fame because he's now running for mayor in New York City. Take a look at Brad Lander. You saw this.

He got coughed and hauled away. You don't have it. I'm not obstructing. I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. You're arresting the house. By asking that you for a judicial warrant? You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens.

Ask me for a judicial one. Sorry. Away. Obstink. Where are you thinking? Hello. Hi, I'm the Comptroller's Press Secretary. Where are you taking the controller of the New York? Where are you taking? With one authority, they take him right out in the elevator. They have sent released him.

By the way, none of this got violent in any way. I should point that out. I didn't see anything like we saw in New Jersey. Remember where, um, La Monica, you know, it was like full force. stomach ahead, you know, ramming through the ice agents and now faces 17 years in prison because, well, she was impeding law enforcement. And according to the tape, they have assaulting law enforcement. Anyway, at least DeFonik, the representative from New York, is all over this. She may be the next governor of New York. You know what?

She should run for a governor of New York because she could take Kathy Holke a lot like that. She really could. She said $50 million of New York is harder and taxpayer dollars. for illegal migrants, legal fees, because Kathy Hokel puts illegal's first, New York, last her failed leadership in New York is on display. According to one Elise Stefana, she's tweeting that out. I mean, it's really pretty unbelievable. What I would just say is this, yes, it's all politics, it's all theater,

except for the fact that 20 million people came here. And we don't really know who's here. And Donald Trump was elected, winning both the electoral college, right? and the popular vote on two main issues. One was the economy and inflation, and the other was immigration. And so he has promised to clean up all these big cities, including places like New York City,

including places like L.A., including places like Chicago, very blue cities, incidentally, that don't want ice there. Now, I ask you, like, why don't they want ice there? It's kind of weird, all right? It's a little bit weird. because I don't know why you would want people in your community that you can't account for

that may have committed a crime. And so it's just gotten so wild. But he put the order out this week on truth social, saying he was all over this, Donald Trump intending to actually enact the largest deportation operation of people who are here illegally in history. But you know what? He's got to beat Obama for it. Because Obama has the crown, huh, so to speak. that one, all right? Obama is the guy who was deporting more people than we had ever, ever, ever

seen. He's also saying, listen, you know what, we need ICE. We need folks that are working hard to actually shore this whole thing up. I mean, don't forget, they've been despised, like just kind of dehumanized by many on the left, and he's making the point of completely, totally inappropriate, and that we can't have this kind of third world dystopia. And, And it's a fair criticism, right? It's a very, very fair criticism. I will say this. You know, you got Leticia James and company out there. You've got Kathy Hochle. They're all suing. I don't think they're going to get anywhere. And the reason they're not going to get anywhere, you know, all these states, just to rattle them off, all these liberal states, the reason they're not going to

get anywhere, guys, is because already we're seeing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals saying, hey, we're going to side with Donald Trump. And we're expecting that final, final, like sometime within the next 24 hours. It does seem, according to the testimony that we heard earlier in the week that the Ninth Circuit is like, yeah, you know what, Gavin Newsome, you got all upset and your nose out of joint because Donald Trump offered to come in and actually intervene where you wouldn't, and you got mad about that. But isn't that power that lies with the federal government? In other words, if the law's the law and they're there trying to enforce the law and you don't want them enforce them the law, we can go back to 1962 Alabama,

Wallace, the law is the law, right? And if you have a law on the books and you're choosing as governor of the state to not enforce it, then that is a moment when you're going to actually have to federalize the National Guard. And he was, oh, furious about it, but I'm telling you, he's not going to win this. Already, the three-judge panel sounding very skeptical of California's arguments that President Trump should return control the National Guard to the troops in the state, because that's just not the way the law works. We know that because, guess what, what? You get something called Title 10, U.S. Code 12406, committed to memory, everyone. This is the federal statute that allows for the president to, quote,

call into federal service members and units of the National Guard in such numbers as he considers necessary to execute. Imagine that, the laws of the United States of America. So again, do you guys want to change it? You go change the law. The law is the law. And we can go through that, too. We've been through it on this show, the Constitution, whether you're looking at the Supremacy Clause, the Commerce Clause, the Naturalization Clause. Guess what? There's a whole bunch of clauses. It's very clear that the federal government, if they got any power at all, they have power over our borders and power over who is in this country. Thank you very much. So take that, Kathy Hokel. You're just going to have to deal with that.

Take that, Leticia James. We know on Latisha. That's a whole other story. Tisha may be facing all kinds of problems, right, on the mortgage fraud, a scandal that is never ending. A quick shout out here for some of our friends over at American for Prosperity, AFP. We have been looking at the House trying to deal with all of the challenges of getting something through in the way of tax cuts. And we were just talking about it was really not fair that New York get their salt deduction. But I'll tell you, whatever happens, I do hope and I do want to make sure that, that we get an extension of those tax cuts.
