The Poso Daily Brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth-generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Christ is here!
As of today...
It will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
The military is the largest employer of transgender Americans.
You heard up to 14,000, 15,000 members identify as trans.
And 56 of our retired generals have said that our trans members are ready to serve themselves.
As the secretary of defense, it's an honor to salute smartly, as I did as a junior officer, and now as the secretary of defense, to ensure these orders are complied with rapidly and quickly.
The lawful orders of the president of the United States will be executed inside this defense department swiftly and without excuse.
Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country.
That happened during the campaign, if you may remember.
So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.
- There are 30,000 people in the pipeline. - I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.
And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not gonna force any other American citizens' kids to do that either. - And that was a very particular case.
It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living there.
I don't really care, Margaret.
I don't want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.
Where are you born?
Thailand.
You've been deported before from the United States?
No.
Are you a citizen?
No.
This is an example of sanctuary cities, right?
We got an illegal alien convicted of sex crimes involving children.
He's walking the streets of Chicago.
President of Colombia has agreed to accept Colombian migrants deported from the U.S. after a series of threats from President Trump.
Those threats included steep tariffs.
He's putting Colombia, he's putting the rest of this hemisphere on notice that you are not dealing with the same president that you were.
You're dealing with someone who is taking illegal immigration seriously.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live in Washington, D.C. Today is January 27th, 2025. Anno Domini.
You just saw a quick roundup of some of the news that's going on right now.
Pete Hegseth taking command at the Pentagon, referring to the bases as they are properly named Fort Benning.
Fort Bragg and all the rest of it.
President Trump also set to sign executive orders banning transgenders from the military.
What is the point of transgenders in the military?
The point of the military is to hurt people and break stuff.
That is not what is served by having transgenders there.
This is not for social experiments.
This is not for social engineering.
We need unit cohesion.
We need troop morale.
We don't.
Need that.
By the way, there's lots of reasons that you could be banned from being in the military, okay?
Ask anybody who's trying to join.
Just go to your local MEPS office.
Go to your local MEPS office right now.
If you don't even know what that is, then you probably don't have any business even having this conversation.
But go to your local MEPS office and find out all of the different categories that you could be in for not being eligible for military service.
Criminal records, bad credit, having asthma, bad vision, all sorts of things under the...
So why should we allow someone in?
Why should we allow people in that we know have, at the bare minimum, massive surgical needs, massive hormonal needs?
It's ridiculous.
It doesn't make any sense.
We don't want it.
We're not interested in it.
It's done.
Then, going forward, Tom Holman conducting these raids over the weekend.
And I got to tell you, we're going to get into this in a minute here because with Holman focusing on...
The worst of the worst.
That's what we need to get out of first.
There's no question about that.
And next, the numbers are going to increase.
The President of Colombia found that out and all the presidents have.
By the way, why is it?
That we get all our coffee from Colombia to begin with.
Why is it that we get all our flowers from Colombia?
Why do we need any of these things?
I think that it's time to go down to the Gulf of America and dump all the Colombian coffee overboard, every single shipment of it.
I think it's time to go down to the local Costco and start messing with the Colombian coffee there.
I may have done that myself earlier today.
The Costco manager may have been a little upset with me, a little bit upset with me, but no, no.
Folks, here's what's going on, okay?
Here's what's going on.
It's about putting America first.
And anyone, any socialist dictator who thinks that they get to tell us what gets to happen to our country, gets to tell us that we are forced to take their illegal citizens in, no.
Those numbers are going up.
And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen.
They have been lying to you about the number of illegals in this country.
We're going to be talking about this.
And I tell you right now, when regular Americans understand the true scope of the amount of illegals in this country, they are going to be calling for a revolution.
They're going to be demanding that President Trump and Tom Holman be quick about their business.
We'll be right back.
They talk about influences.
These are influences.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Perselbeck.
Where's Jack?
Jack.
He's done a great job.
All right, Jack Perselbeck.
We are back live in Washington, D.C. here under new management in the Imperial Capital.
Let me ask you something, folks.
Did you know that the seven banks have failed in the last two years?
Your money...
Now has 20% less purchasing power than it did just four years ago when Joe Biden took office.
Well, the Human Events audience knows to expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to the economy.
That's exactly why we've partnered with today's episode sponsor, Allegiance Gold.
Gold has been the one commodity that stood strong for thousands of years.
Through wars, recessions, and financial collapses, gold has stood the test of time.
Because gold doesn't depend on Wall Street.
It doesn't depend on politicians or the value of paper money.
It's real, it's tangible, and it holds its value when everything else falls apart.
I partnered with Allegiance Gold because they can show you how to diversify your savings with gold and silver and protect you with what you've worked so hard for.
Go to protectwithposo.com and Allegiance will give you up to $5,000 in free physical gold or silver to get started.
Plus, no setup fees if you choose a gold-backed IRA. Time is right now.
Take control of your financial future.
Go to protectwithposo.com.
Right now, that's protectwithposo.com.
I want to bring our next guest on now because we're going to be talking about this question.
How many illegals are actually in this country?
And I'm starting to suspect that the true numbers are incorrect.
P.G. Keenan joins us once again on Human Events.
P.G., how are you?
And I've got to ask, how's the home?
How's the neighborhood?
Yeah, great to be back with you, Jack.
Fortunately, our street is okay.
We were evacuated for two nights.
We're back now, but we live just about two blocks south of the Altadena fire zone.
So basically, if you go two blocks north of me and start driving around, it literally looks like...
Hiroshima.
There's just chimneys as far as the eye can see for like miles in every direction.
So it's been wild and incredibly I'm hearing stories now of my neighbors up the street who somehow saved their homes by ingenuity and using their pools.
There was no water in the fire hydrants in Altadena and I have that from multiple sources.
That's completely ridiculous.
And I saw another video that went pretty viral.
A friend of mine, Dave Harvelish, who posted that video and talking about how he wasn't, he hasn't even been able to get to his home since January 7th.
And he had this video where he's talking to, I think it's a National Guardsman saying, look, President Trump and Karen Bass were both on TV saying I should be able to get to my home and they still won't let him in.
Yeah, I actually have a friend in Altadena, who's a construction guy, and he said, well, Karen Bass said I could go in, so he actually had crews, like, illegally on his property yesterday.
But the problem, I watched the video of the Palisades Town Hall last night with Karen Bass and all of these California supervillains, and the big holdup is that the EPA now has a health order from the LA County Department of Health.
The EPA has to first do their phase one cleanup of the hazardous materials and so that according to them last night will be months and that only when that's done can anyone actually remove ash and debris so it's going to be a while.
That's completely ridiculous when we get some developments we got to get you back on but the other thing that I wanted to ask you about and you and I have chatted about this is so there's been these viral videos and I saw you commenting on it and I was commenting on it of Empty stores, empty Walmarts, empty Home Depots.
I think there was like an empty restaurant, empty supermarkets.
And people are saying, again, I'm not going to come out and say I have all the facts on these videos and that they're all 100%, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
But it's this new trend that's certainly going viral.
And you can look during the videos, and it does seem to be that there's people shopping, so that there's people there.
And they're saying that some of these are in the California area.
And what they're saying is, is that suddenly there's nobody out shopping at these places.
You can see this Home Depot.
It's the middle of the day.
Tanya and I, we went out to a sports restaurant last night to watch the Victorious Eagles game.
And we, even they were telling us.
Thank you, thank you.
Got my green on.
And that they were saying that the kitchen staff didn't show up, so they were short-staffed, and even some of the wait staff didn't show up.
And it's all gotten me to thinking, and when we put this out as our question of the day, it's 1776 at humanevents.com, 1776 at humanevents.com.
Have you experienced anything like this?
And if this is true, is it possible that they've been lying to us about the exact number of illegals in this country?
And so before we get to some of these emails that have come in, because it's been flooded, I wanted to get your thoughts on that, PG. Yeah, my husband and I have been saying for a few years that there's way more people here than they think.
I mean, I think L.A. County, L.A. City is about 50%.
Hispanic, I think the white population of LA is down to something like 25%.
So I mean, at least in terms of Los Angeles, legal or illegal, the Great Replacement, not only is it real, but like it's over, you know?
But he would, my husband has a long commute, so he drives all around the city through downtown, and he would come home and say, you know, just around MacArthur Park, Echo Park, downtown LA, there's just dozens, crowds on every corner of these like, you know, brand new, you know, South American immigrants, and they have huge tables where they're selling.
We're selling all of the goods that were looted from CBS. You know, all the shampoo and the makeup, that's all, shaving cream, that's all for sale at these little illegal tables.
And there are, in the last year, taco stands, like pop-up street taco stands, on literally every corner, up here in the San Gabriel Valley, all over LA. And these are unlicensed.
I mean, you remember they were arresting kids.
Who would start like a lemonade stand, right?
So these are now happening with no license everywhere.
So just if you can believe your lying eyes, it is way more than their reporting.
So here's some of the emails that we're getting in.
Just, again, anecdotal, but they're saying things like...
Hi, Human Events team.
This is from Connor in Colorado.
He says, I'm in the Denver metro area.
Unfortunately, I haven't noticed the emptying out, but we want to see it soon, as well as Aurora.
Play that the deportations reach mash scale very soon.
Here's Brian.
My father-in-law does DoorDash in San Antonio for a few hours.
At night for some extra money.
He noticed the immigration crackdown immediately.
He said there's far less competition in DoorDash all of a sudden.
His income per hour from DoorDash has skyrocketed.
He made the same amount in two hours the past week what it used to take four or five hours just a few days ago.
It's amazing to hear, but wouldn't you need to have work authorization to drive for DoorDash?
I'm guessing they use someone else's or have fraudulent papers.
Hearing that from in addition to him.
Let's see.
This is from G. She says, Well,
yeah, if you're going to fly a flag in the United States, there's only one flag that you should be flying.
Here's another guy.
West side of Clark in Houston goes to the HEB, nice middle class part of town.
When I walk in...
You usually have to go across to get your items.
By the way, that's a marketing trick that all supermarkets use.
They always put the milk and eggs as far away from the door as possible.
I try to explain that to people as much as I can, so you have to walk past all the stuff that they actually make money on.
In the past, there's usually customers in every aisle, and 90% are speaking Spanish.
Sometimes I'm the only non-Hispanic there.
Since Trump has sworn in, I've been to the store twice, and it's a ghost town.
I can park right up front.
There's maybe five or six customers, and the cashiers suddenly seem like they're bored, they're not doing anything.
And here's another one.
Here's another one.
I'm just going to cut through it.
Tim in Florida reports the same thing from a Walmart.
Jessica in western New York, who rides the Metro bus public transportation, says all buses have been packed all year, standing room only, with foreigners and children who don't speak English.
This past week, the buses have been nearly empty.
There were three people on my bus ride to work on Saturday morning a bus with normally standing room only the Supermarkets are empty the local shopping mall was empty less than 25 percent this is Buffalo, New York a place that we knew took a lot of migrant refugees and And she's saying, I think that the numbers must be 10 to 100 times more.
Oh, my gosh.
And they just keep coming in.
Another one from Houston talking about the box stores.
Another one.
Someone says...
So this one is from Molly in, I think, Virginia.
And she says it might be going on because it's the end of the month and welfare hasn't gone out yet.
Oh, boy.
So there's different theories.
But, yeah, a couple more minutes to the break.
But, P.T., let me just get your initial reaction to all that.
Yeah, so it reminds me of in 2006, way back when, there was some Bush-era immigration law or something that was being debated.
So the Hispanic activists in LA had this great idea.
They're going to have this big event called A Day Without a Mexican.
It was literally called A Day Without a Mexican in 2006. I remember this!
Yeah, to show everyone how horrible life would be without all these wonderful, hardworking, illegal immigrants.
And so everyone was joking.
I remember this.
It was like a funny, it was almost like a meme.
Traffic was great that day.
You could get from downtown to the beach in like 25 minutes.
There was no traffic.
There was no crowds.
There was like no crime.
It was like this magical day in LA. People still reminisce about the day without an immigrant or whatever.
And obviously it's tug-in-cheek, but this is what it reminds me of.
So it's...
We need to have a longer discussion about this because the implications are quite dire, I think.
And yes, there's going to be some economic growing pains here.
There's going to be a reformation.
But look, all I got to say is we really need to get to the bottom of this.
By the way, I just wanted to say that I have now officially been asked to not come back to Costco for the rest of the day.
The manager sent me an email saying that he's very upset that I was writing down the license plates of anybody who went in and bought Colombian coffee.
I'll be right back.
Peachy.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live at Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C., the Imperial Capital.
Just got an email in, and I'm going to be thinking about this.
I'm going to be thinking about this all day.
Got an email in from a guy, says he has a family member who works DoorDash, and that all of a sudden, the competition is way down for DoorDash.
I think it was the Houston area, and said the competition is way down, and suddenly, the wages, or no, excuse me, San Antonio, it was San Antonio area, and said the wages are way up, and now it only takes about two hours to make what you used to be able to make.
In four to five hours.
Peachy, let's, you know, devil's advocate, okay.
Thought experiment.
Let's say this is because there are people who are using DoorDash that are operating in the gig economy, and they're doing so as illegals, which as we all know, it's very easy to use fraudulent papers to get signed in for that stuff.
Listen, if you've used an Uber in D.C., and I know you were in D.C. for the inauguration, I got to see you for a brief second at the Coronation Ball, that it's true.
There's so many illegals here, and the minute that they start going away, look at that.
Boom!
People's wages are going up directly.
That's a direct result.
Yeah, and these are jobs that Americans will, in fact, do.
A lot of these gig workers are American citizens, so if there is suddenly less competition and they're making more money, that seems like a pretty good deal.
I mean, it's what this is all about.
Right?
So we've realized that for far too long that illegal immigration, and in the same way that H-1Bs and H-2Bs are basically corporate welfare, that illegal immigration is also a form of corporate welfare for small businesses, for medium businesses, even some large businesses, because they know who they're hiring and they don't care because they're able to do that at the expense of government workers.
And yes, you know what?
Maybe I'll have to pay 10% more.
I don't care.
Maybe I'll have to pay 15% more.
Maybe I won't be able to get all the avocados and the, you know, what was it, the flowers in Colombia?
They say, oh, the flowers, all your flowers come from Colombia.
I was like, we can't grow flowers in America?
Like, what do you mean?
This is ridiculous.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
Why do we have to get those things from other countries to begin with?
Yeah, I mean, I just found out on Twitter like yesterday that actually California was where something like 50 or 60 percent of all the cut flowers are grown in this country.
All your Valentine's Day roses, you know, everything.
And apparently, up near Monterey, sort of central California, which is the most beautiful part of California, and it's lush farmland, there are these abandoned flower farms where we used to grow all of these things ourselves.
I've been, like, totally lied to.
My whole life is a lie.
I thought these things were just all being grown in Colombia and shipped overnight, and that's why we were paying so much money.
I mean, it feels like it would be a lot cheaper to grow them here and pay American workers a tiny bit more rather than have, like, giant...
airplanes full of flowers coming in like that seems it seems a lot of environment more environmentally friendly in fact to grow them here and so i think we need to bring back the california flower farms immediately it's really a simple and you know i noticed this because i do so i do this thing with um with tanya tay Where I always call it random flowers, where I will go out and people, a lot of guys say like, oh, you get in a fight by flowers.
No, no, I don't do that.
No, I don't do that.
Because we never get in fights, of course.
But no, I say, just get your girl random flowers for no reason at all.
Because it's just a great move.
And it keeps them on their toes, right?
Because they'll think, wait a minute, did he do something that he's trying to cover up for?
There's just something I don't know about.
And it just, you know, it just keeps them confused.
I'm confused, which is a good way you want to keep your woman.
But no, I'll do that.
And I've noticed since doing that, that, you know, it'll say, you know, product of Colombia, product of Honduras or whatever it is on the flowers.
And I'm like, really?
Like, do we really need to go that far to be able to get some flowers?
Is it that important?
I really don't think so.
I would much rather be able to say, you know what?
I got some flowers.
They were grown here in this country.
They were grown, you know.
And by the way, people love Whole Foods.
They love farmers markets.
This is basically the same exact thing as that.
Right.
Yeah, homegrown.
I mean, California has these massive avocado orchards, and they were saying, you know, you're not going to have guacamole.
Aren't you going to miss your guacamole?
And Anna Navarro, whatever her name is, and AOC worried about Valentine's Day.
Trump is going to ruin Valentine's Day.
No more coffee and no more roses.
And, I mean, okay, let's say there isn't anymore.
Like, that seems like a small price to pay to reclaim our own economy and stop outsourcing it to, you know, half the rest of the world.
My son's place of business.
The hardware store in Altadena burned down.
So he needs a job.
He's a 17-year-old kid.
He loved having a job, loved making money.
He has no job right now.
I'm actually happy if he has a little less competition, you know, if he wants to go be like a bag boy at the supermarket now.
Like, why is this bad?
Teenagers can't find jobs in the summer now because the illegals take all the, like, low-paid, menial jobs.
I hope this summer, teenage Americans can actually have, like, their choice of, like, fun summer jobs.
I mean, that would be an incredible benefit.
Kids need to, like, work.
Well, and this is, it gets into the great Panda Express debate that was raging last week where people were saying, oh, you know, there's lots of jobs in this country.
Go work at Panda Express.
And it's like, okay, like, I'm not going to say, if you want to be a franchisee, go ahead and do that.
I don't think that's a great business model.
Some people love it, but it's like, look, you get just locked into that store.
If the store literally becomes your entire life, but at the same time for a Teenager for like a 14 year old or something.
Oh, yeah Oh, yeah.
Go do that for a couple summers.
Do that for a couple years.
Learn how to manage your time.
Learn how to manage your effort.
And by the way, get actual money in your pocket.
I'm not just going to be handing stuff out to my kids.
Everybody should have to have that rite of passage of having just one of those menial jobs.
And by the way, this is something where psychologists have gone into it.
Eric Hoffer, the great writer of True Believer, actually says that for people who don't go through one of these meaningful rites of passage, like people who grew up either too affluent or just spoiled from their parents in general, who don't go through that rite of passage, they actually get really, really screwed up as they get older.
Yeah, teenage, I mean, at 14, I was, like, working fast food.
I worked at little stores.
Like, that was just what you did in the summertime or, like, after school.
Peachy, did you work at McDonald's?
Did you work at McDonald's?
I did not work at McDonald's, okay?
That was, like, I couldn't go that far.
Is that what you're saying right now?
Because we will check.
We will check.
I never put on the Golden Arches outfit, I swear.
I did not.
But we all did it.
There was no shame in your game.
It was just like, hey, I got all this money.
I don't care.
And I'll get, like, free food, too.
It's great.
And I worked at the frozen yogurt store.
You know, I did all these jobs.
And kids need to do that now.
But now it's so rare to see a teenage worker at any store in the summer, any fast food.
It's almost, you see, like, a 35-year-old Hispanic lady, you know, or that's who's working these jobs.
But like I said, these kids...
Kids need to have summer jobs.
They need to, like, kind of, you know, put the TikTok away for a few hours and, like, learn what it is like to punch in and do all of that.
And, like, like I said, my son loved his job.
He was, like, working the hardware store and, like, showing people where the, like, different, you know, tools were.
And he was learning so much.
And all his employees now are actually unemployed.
So these hardware store guys, they need jobs.
My whole town burned down.
And so these people, Americans of every race, Americans, need jobs.
And it actually gives me hope that maybe there'll be a little less competition.
No, I think it's exactly right.
Because at the end of the day, it is creating perverse incentives.
It is welfare for the ownership.
Class in America.
That's what these systems are.
That's what illegal immigration has always been.
That's H-1B. That's H-2B. It is welfare for them.
And if we start framing it that way, that this is welfare for you, which is at the detriment of the American worker, now suddenly people are like, oh, wait a minute.
Is this a hell?
Is that free market?
Is a welfare program for corporations free market?
Is that part of the free market system, libertarians?
Is that part?
Is that part of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman?
Is that something that they were for?
No, of course not.
It is theft.
It is a form of theft.
It's theft from you.
It's theft from your neighbors.
It's theft from your neighbors' kids and everyone else.
And you know what?
What it hurts is it hurts communities the same way, by the way, that maybe not as drastically, but it hurts them just like your community being burnt down.
Yeah, and one thing I need to get Tom Holman on are the Chinese safe houses in Orange County filled with Chinese nationals who are giving birth to anchor babies.
And they come here, they fly here pregnant, they have the baby, they live in a house of like 20, 30 women, and they have their anchor babies.
And this is happening all over Orange County.
There are houses filled with these women.
And I don't know why they get sanctuary.
Why is this allowed?
And anyway, I'm hoping there'll be some raids on there.
I'm hoping for a cop-style show called ICE. I'm actually pitching this where we can just, you know, cameras can ride along as they bust the pedophiles and the rapists and the predators and kick them out of the country.
That would be must-see TV for me in my house.
I'll do one further.
I want ice, and I want it to be cop style, but I want not just a show.
24-7 streaming!
24-7 streaming channel.
Sometimes Tom shows up.
I could lose the Dr. Phil, to be honest.
I'm not too interested in having Dr. Phil there.
But that guy's got a really bad track record.
But we could get some hosts.
Chris Hansen.
Let's get Chris Hansen back in there.
I love the whole idea of it.
It's fantastic.
And it shows people this is what your government is doing.
We'll have to work on a theme song.
So, Peachy, you've got some Hollywood experience.
We'll have to get a really good theme song going.
It's got to be catchy.
I don't know.
Maybe Ice Ice Baby.
Maybe we'll get Vanilla Ice involved.
I don't know.
Stop, collaborate, and listen.
Let's bring it back.
Perhaps.
Yeah, we're going to bring it all back because, look, we're focusing on the worst of the worst, but it's beyond just the direct.
Obviously, what Tom Holman is focusing on are the violent.
Criminals or people who've been involved in rape or child sex offenses.
But at the same time, what you and I have been discussing, these are community issues.
These are home issues.
These are economic issues which actually affect all of us at scale.
That's why it's so important that these mass deportation numbers do actually reach mass levels.

We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting Pulisic.
All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back live.
Human Events Daily, Washington, D.C. I still can't get over that.
This email that we got in, it's fascinating to me.
DoorDash employees are now reporting less competition and that they're seeing wages rise as mass deportations begin to take effect.
I've tweeted out it's going viral.
This is just...
It's just incredible.
I mean, this is what it really means to take your country back and actually do something to help the people.
And so all of this stuff where people talk about how, oh, the illegals, you know, it's not that bad.
It doesn't hurt the market that much.
And it's like, is that true?
Because in reality, these numbers aren't.
Reflected because we don't know the true number of illegals here.
And of course, they're working illegally.
So the papers aren't reflected in the market.
It's a complete nuts situation.
We got to get in here.
but I'm very excited to bring on our next guest, someone who certainly knows about business, someone who knows what it's like to stick his neck out for something that he believes in.
Ladies and gentlemen, the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Constantino joins us for the first time ever on Human Events Daily.
Anthony, how you doing, man?
Great to be here and happy to hear about the situation with DoorDash and wages rising.
I said a long time ago to my friends that thought a little differently to me.
I said, we don't want to let all these people in here.
They're going to attack.
Lower wage, lower income jobs, and that's the worst thing we could possibly do.
We don't want to be attacking jobs like that, so I'm happy to see DoorDash.
Wages already rising.
It's a vindication that, once again, President Trump's doing the right thing.
I tell people, the Democrats' policy has become all bad.
It's not helping anybody other than their party.
They orient themselves for trying to pass legislation that benefits their party and pass policies that benefit them politically, but they're hurting people, and I'm glad to see what happened with DoorDash.
It's becoming more obvious every day that I'm right to think that way.
Well, let me ask you from a business perspective.
You're a CEO, a very successful company.
But from that perspective, have you seen in your industry this influx over the last couple of years of these illegal alien workforces?
I have a pretty sizable company, 1,200 people, about 1,000 people in the district where I'm running for Congress, New York's 21st Congressional District, which touches on the northern border.
So the border and illegal immigration is a big issue for me.
But I can tell you this, I haven't seen it affecting my business.
You know, my business employs all American people, and I haven't seen that happening to me.
I don't know where these people are and where they're going to work.
But the problem is, a lot of times, these people come and they cross the border illegally, and they can't get jobs in any term to turn to crime and violence.
A lot of times they come here and they can't get jobs and they look to get jobs and make money in inappropriate ways, illegal ways, and they create crime and violence.
Maybe some of them even come here, even the ones that come with maybe good intentions, they turn to crime and violence because they're not able to effectively get jobs.
And so it needs to stop.
All immigration needs to be legal.
My district covers the northern border.
I know the issue very well.
I can speak Spanish better than AOC, and I've done interviews on this.
This is an issue both in English and in Spanish.
I can advocate for it in either language.
A lot of the Latino voters support President Trump and the numbers are growing because they know about government corruption better than anyone in Central and South America.
So I can advocate for this issue better than anyone.
I know the issue better than just about anyone in my district.
It's a very important district because it covers most of the northern border, believe it or not.
People are crossing illegally and sometimes they actually fly from Central and South America to Canada to cross illegally, but they don't know about the cold weather.
These people in Central and South America, they don't know about cold weather.
They cross and they freeze to death and end up in people's backyards dead.
And this is a real thing I've been talking about.
And, you know, we're ending up with dead bodies in people's backyards because people cross illegally and freeze to death or they cross and they bring terrorism and drugs and crime.
And so when you're talking about that, is that actually something you're seeing come across on your side of the border, so our side of the border that's right in your district there?
Exactly.
No, right on my district.
People tell me, and I talk about it all the time, and they said no one else is even talking about it.
I did an interview two days ago.
I said people are crossing the northern border from Canada.
They're coming in.
They don't know about the cold weather.
It's very cold up here right now.
They don't know about the cold weather.
They cross, and they freeze to death, and they end up dead in people's backyards, and people...
Have to suffer the trauma of finding dead bodies in their backyards.
And I can tell you, there's probably one of the worst ways to go is probably to freeze to death.
I've been outside for a little while.
Every now and then I go outside and I suffer the cold for a little while.
And it's not pleasant to be out there for five minutes.
And I can't imagine what it'd be like freezing to death.
So I tell people, the good thing about me is I'm going to take the moral high ground away from the Democrats entirely on this issue.
Take power away from the Democrats is to educate their voters.
Many Democrat voters tragically think that they're on the side of good, but they're on the side of bad because they're encouraging people to cross illegally and bring drugs and crime.
But even the people they think they're helping, they're not helping because they're freezing to death and they're ending up dead in people's backyards, frozen to death.
And that's probably the most cruel thing you can do to somebody.
And on the southern border, on the southern border, President Trump It really caught my attention.
Eight years ago, I remember he did this interview with a guy named Jake Tapper, who's a bit of a fraud, and President Trump brought up the fact that many of the young girls that cross on the southern border, they get raped in the process.
As many as 80 or 90 percent of women that cross the southern border, they get raped on the journey.
President Trump brought it up.
Jake Tapper didn't know what he was talking about, but he ended up being entirely correct.
correct.
So I want the Democrat voters to know once I get into Congress, I'm going to make it known the situation of Democrat politicians to know I'm going to educate their voters very quickly.
So I take the moral high ground away from them.
They're causing people to cross the border and bring drugs and crime and terrorism.
But even the people they think they're helping, they're hurting because these immigrants, they come and they freeze to death sometimes and they get raped and many of them die on the way too.
So we're not helping anybody.
We're We're making the situation bad for everybody that needs to stop.
President Trump's going to stop it quickly, and I want to help him stop it.
It's completely horrific, and they have no idea what it's like up there in the northern part of New York State.
I'm from Pennsylvania originally, but I've been up to the Lake Placid area many, many times up there.
I believe that's up in your district, right?
Lake Placid?
Correct.
Exactly, exactly.
That's right.
Correct.
I have a unique ability.
Go ahead.
I have a unique ability to get Democrats on my side.
I put up the vote for Trump sign on top of my building.
It turned into a massive national story.
And the local journalist said to me, I never saw anything like this.
Anthony said, 90% of people support you.
I said, yes.
Because 90% of people support free speech.
And when the Democrats try to take away my right to free speech by putting up my vote for Trump sign, the people all rallied behind me.
Because even Democrat voters don't want to see free speech go away.
Some of them do, the fanatics that support the Democrat politicians.
But most people don't want to lose free speech.
And another thing most people don't like is when young girls get raped.
And so when I educate the voters that Democrats that encourage open borders are causing...
Young girls to get raped by the tens of thousands.
I don't think they're going to want to support that anymore either.
And when I tell them people are freezing to death on an ordering border when they cross illegally looking for a better life, I don't think they're going to want to support that either because the Democrats are the ones that are causing people to freeze to death and show up in people's backyards and they're causing lots and lots of young girls to get raped and some to die on the journey as well.
I think once we educate the voters, they're going to stop supporting it.
They're going to join the side of the president that all immigration needs to be legal.
The border needs to be...
Entirely secure, not just for the benefit of Americans, but we don't want people coming over here and committing crime and hurting the American workers, but also for the benefit of these people.
We're hurting these people, they're getting raped, and they're dying.
No, it's completely wrong, and here you have a situation where, I mean, my gosh, you've got Lake Placid up in your district, which is, I mean, that's...
You're practically Canada at that far.
You're so far north.
People understand this.
You're practically in Canada.
You're within, like, you can smell the maple syrup.
You're so far north, all right?
You know, and people are like, and then you're still dealing with migrants from South America that have come all the way up.
It's completely ridiculous.
It's completely out of control.
I have no idea.
I still think it's going to take us a while to really reconcile and come to terms with the scope of what Joe Biden and his misadministration were actually doing to this country.
I actually think, and I've been starting to think about this as I'm looking at it over the last couple of days here, that I think the situation is actually worse than we all realize because now we actually have the ability to start to see these things for what they are.
We're putting them under the microscope a little bit more and we're realizing that.
Even as far as we thought it was, we had no idea how bad that it truly had gotten in the United States.
One minute till the break, but we'll hold you over.
Anthony Constantino, to you.
I think you're totally right.
It's way worse than people ever thought.
Look at all those missing children President Trump found recently.
He found tens of thousands of missing children that were suffering because of Democrats.
And so there's a lot of suffering going on.
It's going to stop quickly.
And the good thing about the situation, the good thing about me, is I'm going to help flip the independents and the Democrats even to abandon this senselessness.
We're going to depower, take power away from the Democrat Party by educating their voters that they're not supporting anything good.
What they're supporting is bad.
We need a secure border, a totally secure border.
Nobody's going to be better than me than working with the president to get it secured quickly and educating all voters that it's all bad.
There's nothing good that's coming from illegal immigration.
Look, and these things are not political.
It's not a partisan issue.
It's something that affects all Americans, whether you are from whatever part of the world you are, whatever religion you are, whatever party you are.
Guess what?
This is an invasion.
We have been flooded.
We've been absolutely flooded.
And it's time to pull the plug.
We'll be right back.
Jack is a great guy.
He's written a fantastic book.
Everybody's talking about it.
Go get it.
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
Amen.
Unfortunately, while the people have done an incredible job of rebuilding this community, they have not had a federal government that's really been on their side.
I've heard so many stories just the last hour that I've been on the ground of federal agencies that have not developed and employed the resources necessary, federal bureaucrats that have been a barrier as opposed to a facilitator of some of the federal resources.
And I think the country has decided collectively that we want to help the regions of our country that were devastated by this flood.
So why are the bureaucrats not doing the American people's will and frankly holding up some of the aid here?
There's been about $4 billion that have been earmarked.
For the state of Virginia, only about 47 million has actually been delivered or even promised to be delivered to the state of Virginia.
So really what we're going to have to do, where there are major gaps in flood insurance, is to ensure that the people's government is actually helping people rebuild and recover after these terrible floods actually happen.
All right, there's J.D. Vance with Governor Glenn Youngkin, Damascus, Virginia, just a couple of minutes ago, talking about how it's really been the bureaucrats that are standing in the way of this money and this relief getting to the American people.
It's a complete joke.
I want to go to our guest now, Anthony Constantino, to get his reaction to J.D. Vance there.
Well, I'm happy, President Trump.
Picked J.D. Vance as the vice president.
He's a fighter, just like the president.
I think the president's the biggest fighter we've ever seen in this country.
But I can tell you, I've only been in politics for a short amount of time.
And it's one thing we need across the board in America is more people that fight for what's right.
A lot of politicians, they get in this space.
You call them bureaucrats or politicians.
They get in the space and they don't like to fight.
They just want the job.
They don't like to fight.
But J.D. is a fighter.
The president's a fighter.
And we need more people that are motivated in politics that want to fight for what's right and do what's right.
Some people don't like the word fight.
That's really what you have to do in politics.
You got to fight to get things done.
Sometimes in business, you got to fight to get things done.
You have situations like fires or floods.
You want fighters that move quickly and get things done.
And JD is one of those people.
President Trump is probably the fastest mover and toughest fighter in the country.
I think even some of the actual fighters that get in the ring, they say President Trump's tougher than they are.
So I'm a fighter, too.
We need more people like that in government.
We need more people fighting to get things done quickly and to do what's right and to actually care when things go badly.
That's exactly right.
Now walk us through.
So Elise Stefanik was previously the representative there in the 21st District.
She, of course, is going up to be the United Nations representative for the United States.
So walk us through how your race is going to be working, given that it is a special.
Yeah, so it's a special election.
I need to be selected by the county chairs.
There's 15 county chairs, and it's an interesting situation for me because I didn't expect to be here.
I just spoke up and immediately endorsed the president when he was shot, and I started fighting for him leading up to his landslide re-election victory.
I did the sign.
I did everything I could, and then everybody saw the way I fight.
Everybody saw the way I conduct myself.
I was able to flip a lot of Democrats' independence to join the Trump side and vote for him.
We got an 11-point improvement in New York State because of, I think, people like myself, but obviously because of...
President Trump more than anyone.
But people saw my talent.
They saw my drive.
And they said, Anthony, we really want you in Congress.
And everybody started calling me and asking me to go for it.
So I decided to do it.
It's a little bit of a unique situation.
There's no primary.
It's just the Republican chairs have to pick me.
It's 15 chairs.
And many of them liked me.
I met one of the chairs yesterday.
And I said, I really think I'm going to get it.
There's a simple reason why I'm going to get it.
I understand human nature very well.
And most of these chairs, they want the state to go in the right direction.
They know I'm the most capable of doing that.
I move very quickly.
I fight.
And I have tremendous resources, both financial and more importantly, I have human resources.
I know I have a great team.
I know very talented people that are going to help me build an incredible political organization to move things in the right direction in New York State.
And that's what we need.
So I said, look, a lot of the chairs that want things to go in the right direction, they already are supporting me.
And then maybe there's some that would like another person because I've been around for a short amount of time and maybe they'd like somebody else.
But they know that I already put $2.6 million in my campaign account.
And if they pick somebody that's a rhino or somebody that supports policies that I think are going to be destructive or I don't think is going to effectively advocate for the president, I'm going to take the seat in 2026. So they might as well just give it to me now.
So people are smart.
The smart ones want me.
And the ones that maybe aren't so smart, they're going to vote for me, too, because they don't want me to win it in 2026. And then I'll remember that they didn't support me when they should have.
And now, when it comes down to the actual logistics of this, so the way it has to work, so Lisa Fonick, she has not yet vacated.
Is that correct?
Correct.
So there has to be a conversation between Congresswoman Stefanick, President Trump, and Speaker Johnson as to when she will vacate.
We're hearing different things.
And it's a fluid situation, but I think fluid situations favor people like myself that are quick to act.
I was the first person to announce I was even interested in running.
The other people that are moving, I said, speed is an underappreciated skill and value in the world of politics.
President Trump understands it very well.
He had the most productive day and the first day in office of any president that I've ever seen, and he understands the importance of speed.
But some of the other people running, it took them weeks to even decide if they wanted to run or not, because most politicians, they don't know how to move quickly, and they're risk averse, and they have to talk to 20 different people before they make a decision.
But I made a quick decision and said, look.
I have a great company.
It basically runs itself.
I live in the state.
I'm on the young side.
I want the state to go in the right direction.
I view it as absolutely imperative that it goes in the right direction for the benefit of myself and my employees and the people I care about.
And so I moved very quickly to announce my candidacy.
And I think it's a fluid situation.
It favors people like me that know how to act and do things.
No, that's right.
And so this is a situation where, of course, Kathy Hochul would then have to call it at some point in the next couple of months.
I believe there's a three-month window that she would have to call it in.
And then, of course, that would be, as you say, that would be the extent of that would essentially be a full term because you're really looking at an election that just took place.
And then 26 would be the next election there as it comes in.
Anthony Constantino, where can people go to get more information about yourself?
Outside, of course, of the business, but when it comes to the race, where can they go to follow and where can they follow you?
Well, if they're in the district, I would say they should go to the Glens Falls Cool Insurance Arena on February 7th.
I'm actually going to fill the largest venue in the district.
It's already almost sold out.
We're going to do first come, first serve.
We already have 6,000 people planning to come.
It's going to be the largest venue in the district.
I already sold it out.
No one's ever done that before.
I have a very short amount of time in politics, and I'm on to my fourth.
Massive event with 5,000-plus people.
So I don't think the Democrats want to run against somebody like me, and I don't think any Republican wants to run against somebody like me in an event they don't give it to me and I have to primary them in 2026. But aside from going there, I'll be joined by Roger Stone and Jorge Masvidal.
But aside from seeing me speak there...
You can follow me on Facebook.
I have the hottest Facebook in the North Country.
It's just look for Anthony Constantino.
I didn't even know how to use Facebook, but now I have the most popular Facebook of any candidate running.
And so I don't think the Democrats want to run against me, and I don't think anyone really wants to run against me.
I think I'm a very difficult person to beat.
I want to do what's right.
I have tremendous resources, tremendous talent, and I'm excited to help move New York State in the right direction and support the president.
Anthony Constantino, God bless, man.
All right, February 7th.
You get up there, Glen Falls.
Go and give it a shot.
