Chapter 1: What are the mass deportations happening in Florida?

593.955 - 613.737 James Carville

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.

0

613.777 - 617.258 James Carville

The White House doing a briefing in about a half hour about what they're doing here.

0

617.298 - 641.606 Vince Colonese

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.

0

641.626 - 665.284 Vince Colonese

We have a BS alert coming out now because the media is hysterical that President Trump is now deporting U.S. citizens. That's the claim here. Look at the Washington Post this morning. Three U.S. citizens aged two, four and seven swiftly deported from Louisiana. That's the headline.

0

665.824 - 687.168 Vince Colonese

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.

687.248 - 706.579 Vince Colonese

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.

706.919 - 709.581 Vince Colonese

The family's lawyer said, let me just tell you something.

710.146 - 736.464 Vince Colonese

these are lies what you are hearing right up front 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

737.606 - 757.432 Vince Colonese

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.

Chapter 2: How are judges being held accountable in immigration cases?

781.275 - 801.078 Vince Colonese

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 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.

0

801.278 - 821.963 Vince Colonese

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, as they were asked on the Stupid Sunday shows about this.

0

822.344 - 829.746 Vince Colonese

Here's cut one. Secretary of State Marco Rubio asked on Meet the Press about why are you deporting American citizens? Take a look.

0

830.535 - 848.893 Secretary Rubio

Three U.S. citizens, ages four, seven and two, were not deported. Their mothers, who are legally in this country, were deported. The children went with their mothers. Those children are U.S. 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.

0

849.153 - 859.039 Secretary Rubio

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.

859.319 - 873.206 Caroline Leavitt

Just to be clear, because I do want to get to the overhaul at the State Department. Is it the U.S. 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.

873.726 - 891.377 Secretary Rubio

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 you with me. Well, then what? 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.

891.737 - 909.025 Secretary Rubio

Or you can say, yes, you can go, but your child must stay behind. And then your headlines would read U.S. 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 U.S. citizen children have fathers here in the United States. They can stay with their father.

909.045 - 917.487 Secretary Rubio

That's up to their family to decide where the children go. Children go with their parents. Parents decide where their children go. The U.S. deported their mothers who were illegally in America.

Chapter 3: What is the false narrative about U.S. citizen children being deported?

1147.793 - 1161.697 Vince Colonese

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?

0

1162.958 - 1166.779

Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?

0

1168.239 - 1175.661 Kristi Noem

Of course there is. Families can be deported together. Of course there is.

0

1176.441 - 1194.011 Vince Colonese

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?

0

1194.111 - 1211.479 Vince Colonese

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 hundred days. I can't wait for the next hundred.

1212.299 - 1230.755 Vince Colonese

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 got to thank our sponsors. That includes Brickhouse Nutrition. Fellas, you put Brickhouse up there for me, would you? I want to share the notes on these guys because they're awesome.

1231.795 - 1246.613 Vince Colonese

And they have a great product that's called Lean. Lean. which helps you control your weight and your cravings and everything else. You know, yo-yo dieters know this. You should know this. You diet and you lose weight and then you gain it all back plus a few extra pounds. This is dangerous.

1246.633 - 1263.48 Vince Colonese

Studies show that it 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.

1264.113 - 1284.813 Vince Colonese

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.

Chapter 4: Why are parents choosing to take their U.S. citizen children with them during deportation?

1528.776 - 1547.483 Vince Colonese

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, dog ear that, hold onto that story because we're gonna get back to it.

0

1547.503 - 1575.753 Vince Colonese

We're gonna talk more about it, especially as we get more discoveries about that. But then 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 fella called Eduardo Flores Ruiz. And just to be clear, this is a guy who stands accused of violent assault.

0

1575.773 - 1594.897 Vince Colonese

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.

0

1595.455 - 1614.296 Reporter

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.

0

1614.336 - 1615.278 James Carville

Yeah, they did.

1615.518 - 1616.079 John

Yeah, okay.

1626.232 - 1643.585 Reporter

Once Flores Luriz went to the door, they say they never saw him again, say they saw his lawyer later crying. The criminal complaint states he hit one of them 30 times, later grabbing him by the throat, it states, for about six seconds while punching with his offhand. The pair went to the hospital as well, showing us pictures of one of them in a hospital bed today.

1645.976 - 1648.938 James Carville

And James, they told you they were actually scared of retaliation.

1649.079 - 1660.347 Reporter

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 Stratton in the newsroom for us.

Chapter 5: What is the role of the media in framing immigration stories?

1867.932 - 1889.109 Vince Colonese

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 Iran, calling her a hero. What's wrong with you?

0

1891.05 - 1894.332 Kristi Noem

And that guy works for the New York Times. New York Times calling this David Brooks.

0

1896.413 - 1918.922 Vince Colonese

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.

0

1919.363 - 1941.495 Vince Colonese

I'll instantly take that guy's side. I'll instantly take the judge's side who helped smuggle him 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 you to Fast Growing Trees, Fast Growing Trees,

Chapter 6: How does the Trump administration's policy affect illegal immigration?

2276.372 - 2296.706 Vince Colonese

is is a complete failure you go back let me let me show you something real quick 2017 look at this report tsa fails most tests in latest undercover operation at u.s airports so this agency and evita i know evita was talking about it this morning because she just had to go through this she came to washington dc last week to go to the white house

0

2297.612 - 2314.647 Vince Colonese

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 this year, it's still the same exact thing.

0

2315.663 - 2334.674 Vince Colonese

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.

0

2334.694 - 2351.303 Vince Colonese

Do you know what that means, that they're failing? It 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.

0

2351.563 - 2365.172 Vince Colonese

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.

2365.492 - 2384.404 Vince Colonese

It doesn't stop them from scanning your face every time you come to the airport. 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 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?

2384.724 - 2398.469 Vince Colonese

How much lost 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?

2400.726 - 2410.774 Kristi Noem

What if we just, here's a crazy idea, lock the cockpit door? What if we did that? Wild, wild.

2410.954 - 2426.046 Vince Colonese

And now you can't carry liquids? I know that's been going on for a while. Is that 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

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the investigation into Act Blue?

2659.478 - 2679.527 Vince Colonese

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 or ID or DHS security badge, everything inside of this bag.

0

2680.327 - 2697.66 Vince Colonese

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, on Vince.

0

2698.581 - 2721.887 Vince Colonese

Uh, and in fact, here's a, for instance, the New York post, I'll show you just some of the coverage, um, New York post here. Let me get rid of that. Um, 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 us to the Vince podcast.

0

2722.667 - 2742.634 Vince Colonese

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 going to 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 Christy. No restaurant. And someone swiped your purse.

0

2742.814 - 2745.255 Vince Colonese

Who was in a covid mask, by the way? That's right.

2745.275 - 2746.815 Kristi Noem

That tells you.

2746.855 - 2747.836 Vince Colonese

Did you ever get the purse back?

2748.136 - 2754.838 Kristi Noem

No, I didn't. It was kind of shocking, actually, because it was sitting right by my feet. It was I actually felt.

2755.788 - 2779.086 Kristi Noem

my purse um he hooked it with his foot and drug it a few steps away and dropped a coat over it and took it but you know 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

Chapter 8: What are the reactions to the mass deportations from various stakeholders?

3019.676 - 3038.01 Vince Colonese

And 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.

0

3039.411 - 3054.95 Vince Colonese

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.

0

3055.51 - 3076.515 Vince Colonese

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.

0

3077.265 - 3096.248 Vince Colonese

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 left's 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?

0

3098.309 - 3120.63 Vince Colonese

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 your life like now versus what did it used to be like? And increasingly for far too many Americans, we are living in a higher and higher distrustful society because of what the left has done.

3121.291 - 3142.6 Vince Colonese

They've sown 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 DC is 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.

3142.68 - 3162.174 Vince Colonese

It's a tower of Babel effect. Can't even communicate. 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 onto it, and they're still pickpocketing you, they're still robbing you inside of a DC restaurant, inside of the nation's capital.

3162.835 - 3180.813 Vince Colonese

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.

3181.253 - 3203.619 Vince Colonese

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 screen? What the hell is wrong with you? Is that something I said earlier? Yeah, you 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.
