[00:00:55]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:58]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:01]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:02]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:03]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:01:10]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:12]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:21]  That's why we are here.

[00:01:33]  Whoever wins the narrative will win the culture war that we're in right now.
[00:01:38]  Rarely, if ever, do we as conservatives even have a fighting chance in the narrative war?
[00:01:46]  Typically, we are always playing defense when it comes to the political narrative.
[00:01:51]  We're always playing on the terrain set forth by the mainstream media, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Facebook, Google.
[00:02:01]  We're always responding to their terms.
[00:02:04]  Now, sometimes we're able to actually set the terms of the debate to our own liking.
[00:02:09]  President Trump was fabulous at this.
[00:02:10]  In fact, this is one of the great things that Trump was able to teach Republicans that we're going to play offense, that we are going to make you respond to us.
[00:02:18]  In fact, it's one of Saul Linsky's rules for radicals: keep the pressure on, and also making the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
[00:02:28]  In the last couple of days, we have seen what it's like when conservatives play offense and set the terms of the engagement to our own liking, configure them to be able to fit our desired policy objectives and goals.
[00:02:49]  Now, some people are attacking what Governor DeSantis is doing and what Governor Abbott is doing as shipping economic tourists that illegally break into our country as a PR stunt.
[00:03:02]  I always laugh.
[00:03:03]  Everything that the left does is a PR stunt.
[00:03:05]  AOC pretending to cry in front of a migrant center.
[00:03:09]  The photo ops with Zelensky in Vogue magazine.
[00:03:13]  Everything they do is a PR stunt.
[00:03:15]  But I also don't think we should dismiss PR stunts or public relation campaigns as immaterial.
[00:03:24]  No, PR victories or PR campaigns are incredibly important.
[00:03:31]  Whoever wins the narrative wins the country.
[00:03:34]  And for far too often, we as conservatives act as if, well, that's just nothing more than a transparent PR stunt.
[00:03:41]  Well, what is involved in that idea of a PR stunt?
[00:03:44]  It's winning the argument.
[00:03:45]  You win the argument, you're more likely to build consensus, to be able to pass pieces of legislation.
[00:03:50]  You win the argument, you're more likely to get people in consensus to be able to do the policy changes of your choosing.
[00:03:59]  Winning arguments is not inconsequential.
[00:04:01]  It is essential.
[00:04:03]  And what Governor Abbott and Governor DeSantis have done over the last couple of days is they have completely changed the discussion on the illegal entry of people into our country, which are not immigrants, by the way.
[00:04:15]  These are not refugees.
[00:04:16]  These are lawbreakers.
[00:04:18]  I call them economic tourists.
[00:04:20]  They cut in line.
[00:04:21]  They line jump.
[00:04:22]  They border jump.
[00:04:23]  You could use all these different terms.
[00:04:24]  I refuse to call them immigrants.
[00:04:26]  Immigrants are someone who obeys our law.
[00:04:29]  They wait in line.
[00:04:30]  They come here the right way.
[00:04:32]  I refuse to dilute and destroy the term of an immigrant to compare a lawbreaker to someone who comes here the right way.
[00:04:40]  I think it's disgusting and reprehensible to everyone that has come to our country the right way.
[00:04:46]  And so PR wins are very important.
[00:04:50]  In fact, you cannot win the country without having at least some form of a victory in the broader narrative war.
[00:05:05]  Now, some conservatives are saying, well, Charlie, this does nothing actually solve our illegal immigration crisis.
[00:05:12]  That is technically true, but it is strategically and tactically wrong.
[00:05:18]  You're right.
[00:05:19]  Sending 50 people to Martha's Vineyard, does that solve the 5,000 people crossing our border every single day?
[00:05:25]  No, of course not.
[00:05:26]  But tactically and strategically, that's a foolish argument.
[00:05:28]  Because what it does do is it moves the Overton window for the 330 million person population to realize we have a border crisis.
[00:05:39]  It doesn't literally solve any crisis, but it does help move the ability for us to argue and make broader, convincing, and clear points to get the rest of the country on board for what we have been saying.
[00:05:56]  And DeSantis and Abbott, to their credit, decided the best way that we can get people to care about the border is to bring the crisis to their doorstep.
[00:06:08]  Even better, what is the only thing better than bringing the crisis to the Democrats' doorstep?
[00:06:15]  Bring the crisis to the Democrat donors' doorstep.
[00:06:19]  That really gets people fired up.
[00:06:21]  It's one thing to send them to Kamala Harris's house.
[00:06:24]  Another thing to send it to the kleptocrat that funds Kamala Harris's campaign.
[00:06:29]  You can just imagine a phone call operator at the Biden White House right now.
[00:06:33]  Sir, we have Jerry Rothstein from Martha's Vineyard.
[00:06:40]  Yeah, he maxed out to your campaign.
[00:06:42]  He'd like to talk to you about, sir, we have another call here from, yeah, it's Lisa.
[00:06:48]  You remember she bundled all that money?
[00:06:49]  She's like, you could just imagine the White House switchboard lighting up with people.
[00:06:57]  Sir, we have former President Obama.
[00:07:00]  He'd like to talk to you.
[00:07:02]  He's very worried that Martha's Vineyard is becoming too Nicaraguan.
[00:07:09]  The only way to get Democrats even more fired up than sending the Kamala Harris's home, go flood the donors community.
[00:07:21]  And I just, I have to say, for anyone that is that says, oh, that this DeSantis and Abbott thing is nothing more than a PR stunt.
[00:07:28]  First of all, you don't understand the value in PR.
[00:07:29]  What a silly argument.
[00:07:31]  Secondly, you don't exist in the meme universe.
[00:07:35]  One of the great memes I've ever seen is this vomit-inducing sign that I'm sure all of you see in upper-middle-class white suburban society.
[00:07:42]  They're all throughout the suburbs of Chicago.
[00:07:44]  They're these black signs with this rainbow lettering, this house believes love is love and black lives matter and trans people are people and there are no borders.
[00:07:53]  That's not the one.
[00:07:55]  We believe all these things.
[00:07:56]  That's that cliché one that they send out, one of those organizations.
[00:07:59]  And they put them in their yard.
[00:08:01]  And basically when you see one of those things, you know that there is probably a dysfunctional marriage, a godless home, and some very miserable people there that are trying to find meaning.
[00:08:10]  This sign where they say, I'm such a good person.
[00:08:13]  And you could just see that they're switching out those signs for now a no trespassing sign.
[00:08:18]  It's one of the great memes I've ever seen.
[00:08:20]  And so to the brilliance of Ron DeSantis, that's it.
[00:08:24]  Yeah, you've all seen these signs.
[00:08:26]  In this house, we believe black lives matter.
[00:08:28]  Women's rights are human rights.
[00:08:30]  No human is illegal.
[00:08:31]  Science is real.
[00:08:32]  Love is love and kindness is everything.
[00:08:35]  Unless you bring 50 Hondurans to Martha's Vineyard, then we put up a no trespassing sign.
[00:08:42]  It's brilliant.
[00:08:44]  It's playing offense.
[00:08:46]  And of course, the argument that people are saying, well, Charlie, it only further moves people into the interior of the United States.
[00:08:52]  Of course, but you're talking about 50 or a couple hundred people that are proving a bigger point.
[00:08:56]  And instead of Martha's Vineyard bringing out the Grand Marshal of their all-white parade and welcoming the now new, diverse community, you are seeing leaders in Martha's Vineyard say, we got to get them off the island.
[00:09:12]  We don't have the resources for this.
[00:09:14]  Oh, really?
[00:09:15]  Martha's Vineyard doesn't have the resources.
[00:09:17]  Martha's Vineyard makes Aspen look like a third world country.
[00:09:22]  For people that are saying it's nothing more than a PR stunt, you win back the country by winning arguments.
[00:09:29]  That's why this show matters.
[00:09:30]  This is why Tucker shows matter.
[00:09:31]  If you are not persuading people, then like, well, we just have to have better policy ideas wrong.
[00:09:36]  You have to build consensus.
[00:09:38]  And sometimes you build consensus through creative, entrepreneurial approaches that spark attention.
[00:09:46]  Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.
[00:09:52]  Charlie Kirk here.
[00:09:53]  Too often we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.
[00:10:00]  The reason for this is simple.
[00:10:02]  For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.
[00:10:13]  Hillsdale College is weighing in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as The Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of History of the Constitution.
[00:10:25]  As we get closer to Constitution Day, September 17th, I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses from Hillsdale.
[00:10:32]  And even better, encourage your friends and family to sign up too.
[00:10:35]  Begin your Hillsdale course today at charlie4hillsdale.com.
[00:10:38]  That is charlie4hillsdale.com.
[00:10:40]  Check it out, charlie4hillsdale.com.
[00:10:45]  I love this on so many different levels.
[00:10:48]  You think the Republican Party five years ago would have been shipping economic tourists illegally entering our country to Martha's Vineyard?
[00:10:57]  Of course not.
[00:10:58]  No, this is forced by the hand of a new right philosophy that is promising, that is based in principle, that is willing to play offense against the left.
[00:11:08]  How often are we always playing defense against them?
[00:11:12]  And the narrative matters.
[00:11:14]  I got in a debate with somebody texting this morning, some snobbish Republican consultant, and he knows who he is if he's watching, doubt he is.
[00:11:23]  I don't like this, he said.
[00:11:24]  This makes us no better than the Democrats.
[00:11:27]  I said, what are you talking?
[00:11:28]  First of all, no better than the Democrats?
[00:11:30]  They're the ones that are illegally flying illegals in the middle of the night on military airplanes, and they have no idea where they're going.
[00:11:39]  We're simply sending them to Martha's Vineyard.
[00:11:41]  Lucky they should be makes us no better than them.
[00:11:44]  Secondly, what time do you think it is?
[00:11:47]  Do you think this is the time where we have to say, well, it's no better than them?
[00:11:50]  No, no, hold on a second.
[00:11:52]  The border crisis is now becoming nationalized.
[00:11:56]  That is what DeSantis and Abbott have done.
[00:11:59]  Basically, the argument that DeSantis and Abbott are making, which is a brilliant argument, and I think they could do an even better job of articulating when they get challenged by the media on this is: hold on a second.
[00:12:08]  If the federal government is tasked with securing the southern border and they're not doing their job, then it's about time that every nation, every state in our country, no matter how remote, Martha's Vineyard, feels the pain and the suffering of what a border town would be.
[00:12:25]  It is not equitable or fair to say that 5,000 people crossing the southern border illegally should have to, only Texas and Arizona should have to pay the price for that because Mayorkis, who's a traitor to the country, abdicated his role and his responsibility to not secure the southern border.
[00:12:46]  Remember when Mass, so this is what it's so amazing.
[00:12:49]  Remember when Joe Biden started to fly people across the country in the middle of the night?
[00:12:52]  He's still doing that, by the way.
[00:12:54]  The reactions by the Democrats on this has been worth the entire program alone.
[00:13:00]  The outrage, and they say, oh, you're using these people as political puns.
[00:13:04]  So, first of all, using people as political pawns, really?
[00:13:08]  You mean like trying to sanctify a drug addict like George Floyd and turning an entire political movement?
[00:13:15]  That's not using someone as a political pawn or trying to use an instant and politicize it?
[00:13:21]  Or how about Greta Thunberg?
[00:13:22]  That's not using a teenager from a foreign land as a political pawn.
[00:13:28]  Like, how about you sit this one out, pal, about the moral grandstanding of using people as political pawns?
[00:13:34]  Like, okay.
[00:13:36]  Secondly, we're in a narrative war right now.
[00:13:41]  We are in the midst of an all-out struggle for our country.
[00:13:47]  And somehow, Massachusetts, because of their geographic proximity, can just wash their hands of the southern border crisis and then send their representatives to Washington, D.C., where they send that, I think his name's Marky and Warren, to D.C. and they continually vote for open borders.
[00:14:05]  Massachusetts is able to vote for open borders because they're not a border state.
[00:14:11]  They have no compassion or understanding for the drugs, the sex crimes, the child sex trafficking, because it doesn't hit home.
[00:14:19]  In the halls of Harvard or Boston College, in their mostly white communities, they're able to scream from the rooftops that diversity is our strength, that love is love.
[00:14:33]  But the moment that their ideology actually no longer exists as an abstraction and becomes a harsh reality, they go full fascist.

=== Supply, Food, And Police (03:44) ===

[00:14:44]  I mean, they go sword-waving fascist at Martha's Vineyard.
[00:14:49]  Get them off the island.
[00:14:51]  I don't care that they're here.
[00:14:52]  We're not ready for this.
[00:14:55]  The narrative determines policy.
[00:14:59]  Whoever wins the argument can move the Overton window, which is a spectrum of which ideas exist on, going from ideas that are unacceptable to popular to eventually policy.
[00:15:10]  And it exists on that continuum.
[00:15:12]  And we're always operating on the Overton window in some way or some sense.
[00:15:16]  In fact, I have a plan in the next year or two, if someone doesn't do it before me, to talk about how the Overton window, in my opinion, is the most operative and important thing that people can understand that dictates all policy, all decisions.
[00:15:31]  Look at BLM.
[00:15:32]  Went from loving the police within a matter of weeks, burning down our country in the summer of 2020 and calling for defund police because of one instance that was politicized.
[00:15:43]  One.
[00:15:44]  Finally, I'm starting to see a renewed sense of a fight from Abbott, from DeSantis, when the lean in.
[00:15:51]  The narrative dictates policy, and the Democrats are scrambling because they can't live up to their own rules.
[00:16:01]  Hey, everybody, if you want to save money while you prepare for the coming food shortages, now is the time to do so.
[00:16:07]  Look, there's going to be some food shortages happening, and you are only nine meals away from anarchy.
[00:16:12]  Here's a very special money-saving offer from MyPatriot Supply that will help you out big time.
[00:16:18]  In fact, it's their lowest price in years.
[00:16:21]  Go to preparewithkirk.com and you'll get $250 off a three-month emergency food kit.
[00:16:27]  That's right.
[00:16:27]  You'll save $250 off a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriot Supply, the nation's largest preparedness company.
[00:16:35]  They want to make it as affordable as possible for Americans to prepare for what's coming.
[00:16:40]  So they're knocking $250 off the price of this three-month kit, which provides delicious, easy-to-make meals you'll be glad you'll have when grocery store shelves are suddenly empty, which seems like it's going to happen sometime soon.
[00:16:53]  At $250 off, this is the lowest price they've offered since 2019, and it might not be offered again.
[00:16:59]  I use MyPatriots Supply.
[00:17:01]  So you just write down the website, it's preparewithkirk.com.
[00:17:06]  Preparewithkirk.com.
[00:17:09]  That is preparewithkirk.com.
[00:17:12]  Preparewithkirk.com is to get special savings today.
[00:17:16]  Go to preparewithkirk.com.
[00:17:18]  That is preparewithkirk.com.
[00:17:24]  Ed asks a great question.
[00:17:25]  Charlie, while busing or flying illegals to Martha's Vineyard and other Democrats might seem like a brilliant PR move, why don't we just use the state's National Guard to repel illegal invaders in the first place?
[00:17:35]  We should.
[00:17:35]  And that is the next step.
[00:17:37]  This is, though, it's a huge step forward, I have to say, when dealing with Republicans that have ignored the border completely and totally.
[00:17:46]  And it does nationalize the issue and it exposes hypocrisy.
[00:17:50]  But Ed, I completely agree.
[00:17:52]  And Kerry Lake agrees as well.
[00:17:53]  We're going to play that tape in this segment, where the next step for border governors should be not to fly them to Martha's Vineyard, but fly them back to Mexico City.
[00:18:04]  I think that's a smart point, Ed.
[00:18:06]  Okay, let's get to some tape here because there's so much delicious tape to go into over this, which again, PR wins matter.
[00:18:13]  That's where they try to, people discount it.
[00:18:15]  Oh, this seems like a seamless political stunt.
[00:18:18]  I mean, how often have Democrats been able to use PR campaigns, Green New Deal, climate change, the world is burning, kids in cages, Russia, Russia, Russia?

=== Deporting To Mexico City (15:32) ===

[00:18:28]  They use PR to dictate policy and they're really good at it.
[00:18:33]  The winners of a PR war are able to control a country, control policy debates.
[00:18:37]  The narrative matters a lot.
[00:18:39]  And this has completely shifted the narrative.
[00:18:41]  It has now inserted itself into the liberal zeitgeist.
[00:18:44]  Zeitgeist.
[00:18:45]  And instead of them talking about Lindsey Graham's abortion bill all day long, which we've gone into great detail about why that was a sabotage campaign by Lindsey Graham, now we're talking about immigration.
[00:18:55]  All right, now we're talking.
[00:18:56]  You want to know why midterm polls are starting to tighten in favor of Republicans?
[00:19:00]  JD Vance up.
[00:19:02]  Oz is tightening.
[00:19:03]  Blake Masters is tightening.
[00:19:04]  Herschel Walker is up.
[00:19:05]  Ron Johnson is up.
[00:19:07]  It's because immigration, inflation, and crime are becoming top-tier issues and Democrats lose on them.
[00:19:13]  Abbott and DeSantis is forcing the narrative to talk about how Majorkis and Joe Biden and Mark Kelly and Raphael Warnock and God forbid John Fetterman and that other weirdo running in Wisconsin, Mandela Barnes, how they would keep the border wide open or they already have the border wide open.
[00:19:33]  I want to play a piece of tape here.
[00:19:35]  This is one of my favorite all-time tapes.
[00:19:37]  So this is Lisa Bel Castro.
[00:19:40]  She's a homeless shelter coordinator at Martha's Vineyard.
[00:19:44]  Now, I don't want to be too stereotyping here, but if there were central casting for Bleeding Heart Liberal, Lisa Bel Castro would be right front and center.
[00:19:54]  If I was trying to produce a document, produce a film and say, we need Bleeding Heart Northeast Liberal, Lisa Bel Castro would be right there.
[00:20:03]  The frizzy hair, the whole thing.
[00:20:06]  And because of 50 people, 5-0 in a community that is 86% white and the median income is upwards of $125,000 a year, of which the wealthiest people on the planet have homes, summer homes, or primary residences, 50 people makes Lisa Bel Castro say, at some point, we got to get them off here.
[00:20:27]  Got to get them off the island.
[00:20:28]  We can't take anymore.
[00:20:31]  I wonder how the Rio Grande Valley is absorbing 5,000 people a day.
[00:20:37]  Play Cut 138.
[00:20:39]  The difficult challenges are we have, at some point in time, they have to move to somewhere else, right?
[00:20:48]  We cannot, we don't have the services to take care of 50 immigrants.
[00:20:54]  And we certainly don't have housing.
[00:20:56]  We're in a housing crisis as we are on this island.
[00:20:58]  And so we don't, we can't house everyone here that lives here and works here.
[00:21:04]  We don't have housing for 50 more people.
[00:21:07]  So these illegal aliens, and by the way, when I say economic tourists, what I mean by that, I didn't mean to try to diminish the term illegal aliens.
[00:21:14]  I was pushing back on why they're coming.
[00:21:17]  Because far too often people call them refugees.
[00:21:19]  No, they're opportunists, is what I'm trying to get at.
[00:21:21]  They're not coming because they're fleeing war.
[00:21:23]  They're coming because they want more money.
[00:21:25]  That's it.
[00:21:26]  But I think I could be even more precise in my language.
[00:21:28]  These are illegal aliens.
[00:21:30]  I think that's a fair piece of feedback we received, Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
[00:21:34]  So now Massachusetts has activated the National Guard because of 50 illegals.
[00:21:44]  So let me get this straight.
[00:21:46]  Why can't Texas now activate the National Guard?
[00:21:48]  Greg Abbott, maybe he has or hasn't.
[00:21:50]  I think he's been playing around at the edges.
[00:21:52]  So I don't want to be imprecise about this.
[00:21:54]  Can we check?
[00:21:54]  I think he has.
[00:21:55]  But now Massachusetts has activated the National Guard due to migrant flights.
[00:22:01]  That's right.
[00:22:01]  50 illegal aliens being transported to Martha's Vineyard.
[00:22:07]  It's an invasion.
[00:22:08]  It's Hurricane Sandy, is what it is.
[00:22:11]  We need to call FEMA.
[00:22:13]  We need to have a continuation of Operation Plan.
[00:22:17]  Abbott has activated the National Guard.
[00:22:18]  Thank you.
[00:22:19]  I thought he did.
[00:22:19]  I couldn't remember the coverage on that.
[00:22:20]  I don't know if Arizona has or not.
[00:22:22]  But this is the precedent.
[00:22:24]  But the latest Texas Tribune's article that said Texas reduces National Guard members deployed to Operation Lone Star border mission.
[00:22:32]  Should be a lot more.
[00:22:34]  But now Massachusetts is saying we're being so invaded, we're being so overrun that We didn't have the military involved.
[00:22:45]  Oh, it gets better.
[00:22:47]  Let's play another piece of tape here.
[00:22:49]  It gets so much better.
[00:22:52]  This guy here, let's actually go to Karine Jean-Pierre, cut 149.
[00:22:57]  And a couple more things.
[00:22:58]  The migrants, including children who arrived in Martha's Vineyard, were misled about where they were being taken and what would be provided when they arrived is also deeply alarming.
[00:23:11]  The children Governor Abbott abandoned in Martha's Vineyard, the children that Governor DeSantis abandoned as well, you know, deserve better.
[00:23:24]  They deserve better than being left on the streets of DC or being left in Martha's Vineyard.
[00:23:30]  They deserve a lot better than that.
[00:23:32]  I'm sorry, I'm chuckling up.
[00:23:34]  Yeah, they deserve better than the wealthiest island America has to offer.
[00:23:40]  Do you understand how stupid she says?
[00:23:42]  They deserve better than going to the wealthiest place that we have.
[00:23:47]  What exactly is better than that, Corine Jean-Pierre?
[00:23:53]  Should we keep them in the Rio Grande Valley?
[00:23:55]  What do they deserve better exactly?
[00:23:57]  Oh, you mean that blue state governors and blue state mayors that are always lecturing us about how we need to accept more people don't actually want to have more people?
[00:24:06]  That they're deeply racist inside.
[00:24:08]  And what they want is more Democrat voters as long as they don't come and invade their all-white communities.
[00:24:14]  They deserve better.
[00:24:15]  Well, first of all, they're criminals.
[00:24:18]  They came into our country illegally.
[00:24:20]  They broke into America.
[00:24:22]  And now they get this beautiful reward to go to the spacious, sparsely populated, mansion-filled island of Martha's Vineyard.
[00:24:35]  I just, I love when she says they deserve so much better.
[00:24:40]  And by the way, you could argue that these people were invited by the Biden regime.
[00:24:44]  They were let into the country by DHS and by Border Patrol.
[00:24:49]  And so Karine Jean-Pierre is lecturing us about as if we did a non-stop flight from the Rio Grande Valley to Pyongyang and dropped them off in North Korea.
[00:25:01]  No, they're actually in a place where Barack Hussein Obama vacations.
[00:25:05]  I think they're going to be just fine.
[00:25:07]  Except for the fact that no one on the island actually wants them there.
[00:25:11]  And all this, the state rep islanders were taken by surprise.
[00:25:15]  Oh, really?
[00:25:16]  Was the southern border taken by surprise?
[00:25:19]  Play cut 155 of another liberal leftist that lacks self-awareness on MSNBC.
[00:25:26]  Play cut 155.
[00:25:27]  Really, clearly a political stunt.
[00:25:31]  So the local officials in Martha's Vineyard say that they had no warning that there were going to be these planeloads of immigrants arriving, but they described it sort of responding to a natural disaster.
[00:25:47]  Sorry.
[00:25:48]  I'm sorry.
[00:25:50]  I haven't seen these clips.
[00:25:51]  It's a natural disaster that 50 Nicaraguans are coming to our all-white island.
[00:25:57]  It's an earthquake.
[00:26:02]  Could you imagine if a conservative said it's a natural disaster to have all these brown people come to Martha's Vineyard?
[00:26:13]  Are they mostly Venezuelans?
[00:26:14]  Is that right?
[00:26:16]  Well, that's why they really hate them because they're going to vote Republican.
[00:26:19]  They're a bunch of anti-commies coming to Martha's Vineyard.
[00:26:22]  Don't tell me how bad communism is.
[00:26:25]  Chavez was right, you stupid Venezuelan.
[00:26:27]  Go back to Caracas where you came from.
[00:26:30]  So 50 illegals is a tsunami, earthquake, hurricane, cataclysmic, apocalyptic event.
[00:26:40]  50.
[00:26:41]  But the nearly 7,000 to 8,000 a day on the southern border is an act of love.
[00:26:46]  I'm sorry, when I heard that MSNBC clip, they're comparing it to a natural disaster.
[00:26:52]  No one was alerted.
[00:26:53]  Yeah, you know who else wasn't alerted?
[00:26:55]  The ranchers, the citizens in Arizona, where I live, in Tucson, in the Rio Grande Valley, in El Paso.
[00:27:04]  They weren't alerted by the cartels allowing them to come across.
[00:27:08]  But you know what I actually love?
[00:27:09]  Someone says here, Charlie, we got to keep on sending them to Martha's Vineyard.
[00:27:13]  Actually, right now, I think it's perfect because the fact it's only 50, I think, is hilarious.
[00:27:18]  It's 50 people in an island of 10,000 really, really rich white liberals.
[00:27:24]  50.
[00:27:25]  And they're calling it, officials are comparing this to a natural disaster.
[00:27:29]  Greg Abbott deserves credit for this.
[00:27:32]  He's sending them the Chicago 2 and Beetlejuice is losing her mind.
[00:27:35]  Greg Abbott says that we will stop bussing the illegals across the country when the Biden regime finally secures the border.
[00:27:44]  Got to give Abbott and DeSantis credit.
[00:27:46]  That's right.
[00:27:47]  You're not going to secure the border.
[00:27:49]  Your donors, your constituency, your blue cities will feel what it's like to be invaded.
[00:27:54]  Play cut 150.
[00:27:56]  Do you have a plan to stop this process at the moment or not?
[00:28:01]  Yeah, we do have a plan to stop this process.
[00:28:04]  And the plan begins with the Biden administration finally securing the border.
[00:28:08]  Remember this, it was just two years ago with the fewest border crossings in decades because the Trump administration was enforcing the immigration laws.
[00:28:16]  All Biden has to do is replicate what Trump did.
[00:28:20]  What Abbott has done, again, I've been very harsh on Abbott on certain things.
[00:28:23]  I think he needs more National Guard.
[00:28:24]  He needs to deport them back to the country of origin.
[00:28:26]  But Abbott deserves credit for one thing.
[00:28:29]  He has successfully changed a midterm political narrative into an immigration narrative, of which we win overwhelmingly.
[00:28:38]  That's a big deal.
[00:28:41]  Lindsey Graham wants us to talk about an abortion topic, of which I'm very pro-life, but we all know it's not going to pass in the Senate anytime soon.
[00:28:49]  And the Democrats only want to talk about this.
[00:28:50]  The Democrats, do you see how uncomfortable, how imprecise they are when they have to talk about this issue?
[00:28:59]  Because it is the ultimate issue that is the contradiction of how they live.
[00:29:04]  They espouse every day how they want these people, but they really don't.
[00:29:10]  It's brilliant.
[00:29:11]  And now the American population is saying, well, I don't know if I want them in my community.
[00:29:16]  Well, come down to Arizona.
[00:29:17]  You can see the thousands a day that are pouring in through Yuma, literally 1,800 to 2,000 a day.
[00:29:23]  And this is 50, 50 to Martha's Vineyard.
[00:29:28]  And they're acting as if Mount St. Helens has erupted off the coast of Massachusetts.
[00:29:34]  Bring in the National Guard.
[00:29:39]  The one issue that Hillary Rodham Clinton should probably never weigh in on is human smuggling.
[00:29:50]  I mean, I think that there should be a moratorium in the Clinton family of mentioning trafficking human beings or children from one place to the other.
[00:30:04]  Hillary Rodham Clinton decides to weigh in on the issue of sending the illegal Venezuelans to Martha's Vineyard as saying that this very well could be literally human trafficking, of which I could only start to say to myself, Lolita express anybody?
[00:30:25]  Play cut 134.
[00:30:27]  I think, Joe, you have laid out the craziness of the time in which we're living, where some politicians would rather not only have an issue, but exacerbate it to the extent of literally human trafficking, as you said.
[00:30:43]  Literally human trafficking.
[00:30:45]  For the Clinton family to talk about literally human trafficking is just about as dense as her going up and saying, you know, I just, I don't know why all these people are committing suicide.
[00:30:55]  I have no idea.
[00:30:56]  I don't know why everyone in my orbit keeps on doing that.
[00:30:59]  It's all these tall buildings, I guess.
[00:31:02]  Cut, let's go to this one here.
[00:31:05]  Cut 120, Domingo Garcia is talking about how Jesus is very angry with Governor Abbott for sending the Venezuelans to the richest island that we have.
[00:31:14]  Play cut 120.
[00:31:15]  Jesus is very upset with Governor Abbott right now.
[00:31:18]  Treating refugees as political piñatas and for a political stunt, dropping them off at 6 o'clock in the morning in front of the vice president's house.
[00:31:25]  That's really inhumane and almost human trafficking.
[00:31:28]  Is the administration being honest with those migrants about the state of the border being open and enticing them to come in such large numbers?
[00:31:36]  I think the reality is we need to have a bipartisan solution to fixing our broken immigration system.
[00:31:42]  Just for one side note that I didn't plan on mentioning, next time they try to pass a bipartisan immigration system, just remember this fool.
[00:31:49]  Remember who actually wants to pass mass amnesty.
[00:31:52]  Secondly, Domingo Garcia.
[00:31:54]  Do Triten refugees like political piñatas.
[00:31:56]  Really, that's a really interesting way to put it.
[00:32:00]  Jesus is very angry.
[00:32:03]  Wait a second.
[00:32:04]  So putting them outside of Kamala Harris's home, the very generous and benevolent cackling fool of our vice president, that's somehow making Jesus very angry with you.
[00:32:16]  Inhumane, almost human trafficking.
[00:32:18]  No, I'm sorry, Domingo.
[00:32:21]  You know what is human trafficking?
[00:32:23]  What actually happens on the southern border every single day?
[00:32:25]  Domingo, why don't you come down to Yuma with me?
[00:32:28]  I could show you that the cartels are, you could see it in real time up on a hill right near the Yuma sector, right near the Rio Grande River.
[00:32:35]  You could see how the cartels get people out of cars and are directing the steps, directing the places of where to go through certain sector checkpoints.
[00:32:43]  That's human trafficking, Domingo.
[00:32:45]  And don't you love that that's the only way that they could try to pivot?
[00:32:48]  That, in fact, some people, and Gavin Newsom is now calling for a Department of Justice investment.
[00:32:53]  By the way, don't be surprised if he gets one.
[00:32:56]  Do you think they're going to raid the governor's mansion now of Ron DeSantis for human trafficking?
[00:33:01]  This whole thing is perfect.
[00:33:03]  You cannot purchase enough political advertising to change the discussion on immigration, to change the way that we actually view it.
[00:33:12]  Cut 158, D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser says that this is a national problem.
[00:33:19]  Play Cut 158.
[00:33:21]  Your thoughts on that?
[00:33:22]  Well, you've heard me say throughout this experience since April that we have a national problem that is going to require a national response.
[00:33:31]  And we're going to do all that we can in D.C. to make sure that people have a humane welcome and transfer to their final destinations.
[00:33:40]  But we see in the months ahead that this problem could worsen.
[00:33:46]  I just love it.
[00:33:47]  Every single one of them have to say in their speech that there's a final destination that is not their city.
[00:33:53]  Lori Lightfoot marked this vineyard.
[00:33:55]  Yeah, we're nothing more than a train stop on the long the way, as long as they're not here.

=== National Response Required (01:00) ===

[00:34:00]  I mean, come on, we'd have to feed them.
[00:34:02]  We'd have to worry about the crime and the overflow.
[00:34:05]  What they're trying to say is that we want, this is important, we want the potential votes, which actually is not as clean cut as they would want to think, to flip Texas.
[00:34:14]  We don't want them in our neighborhood.
[00:34:16]  It's interesting how diversity is everybody's strength till you actually have to go live with the, let's say, the consequences of your abstract bumper sticker that you actually never believed in.
[00:34:28]  Keep the pressure on.
[00:34:30]  Whoever wins the narrative wins the country.
[00:34:32]  This is a good move.
[00:34:33]  Again, ideally, send them back to the country of origin.
[00:34:36]  That's the next step.
[00:34:37]  In the meantime, brilliant midterm messaging win on behalf of DeSantis and Abbott.
