On today's podcast, Governor Pritzker was on Stephen Colbert last night.

Who knew he was still talking?

Just wait until you see how he defends Illinois' gerrymandering districts compared to what Texas is trying to do.

And the queer church of Australia.

Uh-huh, it only gets weirder.

And Mom Donnie is not the only one.

Now Seattle looks like they're headed towards a female socialist mayor,

similar to New York City.

She's left the Islamists out of it, but she is hardcore what major socialist cities

will do to our free market country if this trend continues and they're elected.

And the one and only Secretary Christy Noam, just off of her appearance on South Park last night, she joins me today to talk about what's happening in the Department of Homeland Security.

All on today's podcast.

First, Patriot mobile.

Mobile phones are a necessary evil.

You need one to work, to drive, to get through airport security, to survive your kids' soccer schedule.

It's not optional.

But what is optional is giving your money to a mobile phone company that funds everything you stand against.

That's what the big guys do.

All big three, they send your money to things like Planned Parenthood and anti-police stuff.

I mean, radical agendas, abortion lobbies, anti-faith initiatives, politicians who'd strip your rights away.

That is, that's not just evil, that's unnecessary evil.

So get out of that.

Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

They make it easy to switch.

Easier now than ever.

You can activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home, keep your number, your phone, or upgrade, or both.

Time to make the switch today.

Hello, America.

You know we've been fighting every single day.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

But to keep this fight going, we need you.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

This isn't a podcast.

This is a movement.

And you're part of it, a big part of it.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now let's get to work.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck Program.

So we have Christy Doan coming on in a little while on the program today.

And,

you know, I want to talk to her about this new thing where, you know, you don't have to be under 40 to be in Homeland Security anymore.

I mean, you want to be a member of ICE.

I mean, you don't have to be under, you know, you don't have to be under 40.

And so I thought, Stu, I mean, Pat, you and I, we should talk to her about, you know, you and I, I mean, I could grow some like 1970s pork chop, you know, sideburns

and one of those 70s mustaches.

Yeah.

You know, and get, get it, we could both get a pair of, you know white velcro sneakers right you know I mean we're at you know at 60 I don't know if they still want it at 60 but both of us have a really bad back but you know we can do that oh yeah

not a problem yeah

imagine

oh imagine imagine all the people that Walmart greeters now that could be members of ICE

so and you know what honestly those Walmart greeters kind of scare the hell out of me.

Some of them, you know, you go to Costco and they're like, excuse me, let me look at your receipt.

You're like, okay, okay, okay, okay.

All right.

I won't run.

All right.

So we have her coming up in just a little while.

Did you see JD Prisker

on Stephen Colbert last night?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good stuff.

Yeah.

Wasn't it?

Colbert actually brought up the gerrymandering, which was kind of surprising, and showed the gerrymandered map from Illinois, which is

interesting, to say the least.

Here it is.

Cut three, please.

Take a look at this.

Look at this one.

It kind of goes, whoop, up there.

It's like the stinger on a scorpion down here.

Is this common for all states to do?

We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let them decide.

Okay,

that's the nonpartisan group that does this.

Absolutely.

That's our independent commission.

That is, yeah.

I mean, look.

So because all states, to a certain extent, do this, why is what Texas doing particularly egregious in this case?

Well, here, every 10 years we do a census in this country, and Right after the census, we redraw districts in every state.

But what the Republicans are trying to do, and the Texas Republicans, frankly, at the behest of Donald Trump, are doing it mid-decade.

Oh, no.

That is extraordinarily rare.

Oh.

It's perfectly fine.

Problem is.

Totally legal.

Not a problem, but we're doing it

mid-decade.

Oh, no.

Oh, because

that's when we usually do things

after the census.

Except this census has been shown to be flawed over and over and over again.

This census, it was really a weird weird thing.

I mean, Pat, you know, you had Texas,

you had Tennessee,

where else?

I think Arkansas, Oklahoma, you had all those states under

counted.

And then you had all of these

blue states, they were overcounted, which was weird.

It's never happened before.

It was just really weird that it was in 2020.

Huh?

How weird.

Yeah.

And they were counting illegals.

And, you know,

there's some that say we shouldn't count them as citizens.

President Trump is one of those people who says next time we're not going to count illegal aliens.

Hmm.

Yeah.

That'll be interesting to take the number that we had and

subtract the number we come up with the next time where illegals aren't counted.

And maybe get a sense for how many illegal aliens there are in this country now?

I mean, can you imagine how many house seats would be lost in California if you stopped doing that?

And yeah.

Yeah.

Maybe some in Texas.

Of course.

Because

how many illegals do we have here?

10 million?

What is the number in California?

15 million?

20 million?

Who knows?

We don't really know, but it would be fascinating to find out one day.

Yeah, it sure would be fascinating.

Sure would be fascinating.

I wonder if we ever, you know, if we ever will.

You know, did you see what's happening in Seattle?

Yeah, where there's

a female Zaran Mondani

running for mayor?

Is that what you're saying?

Well, I don't know.

I can't define a woman.

I don't know what you mean by

female.

I don't know why that is so important.

I mean,

Mondami could very well be a female as well.

Yeah, so there's

this new Mamdani.

Now there's a Somali

that is a socialist in Minneapolis that's running for mayor.

You now have this, I mean, they had a

social democrat as a mayor in Seattle already who was bad enough.

Apparently,

that wasn't, they weren't strong enough.

This one is really militant

and an activist.

And, you know, they set up this

ranked voting, and apparently she's winning in the ranked voting.

So she's now the candidate for the election this fall in Seattle.

I don't know.

It seems to me that we are a country that is

leaning towards socialism

in some of these states and some of these cities.

It's going to be really difficult.

I mean, how are you going to manage a capitalist society when you have socialist,

large socialist cities?

Yeah.

And she, by the way, she's even more radical on the cops than what they've had in the past.

She wants to replace the cops with, you know, I don't know, doctors,

you know,

psychiatrists.

She wants that approach, not putting people in jail.

Can you imagine what Seattle will be like if she wins?

And I bet you she wins.

I mean, look at this.

It's coast to coast now.

New York City, Minneapolis, Seattle.

You've got that screwball in South Portland, Maine.

It's happening all over the place, and not just in large cities either.

South Portland, Maine is not big.

I don't think I've heard of the South Portland, Maine mayor.

It's frightening.

It's frightening.

We've got so many radicals.

And I think part of the problem is, you know, we've had radicals in our education system teaching our kids who are now adults and they've been sold on socialism.

And they

have been taught that capitalism is evil.

You're seeing that all over the internet now, how evil capitalism is, and how it's the root of every problem we have.

And you've got these influencers who are screaming about it on their dumb podcasts.

And so

they just believe that capitalism is wrong and evil and contributing to all of societal ills when the opposite is true.

Well,

what I like, though, is the mixture of socialist, communist, and Islamist.

Yes, when you get the Islam Unist, that's the perfect blend, isn't it?

That is a really good addition

to our society.

By the way, I want to play this.

This is a Muslim sheik,

Sheikh Asim al-Kahim.

He says that, well, I'll let him speak for himself.

Okay.

Go ahead, cut five.

If you sell a slave,

now one would say, slavery is banned.

I said, yes, it's banned.

But slavery was there.

And slavery is

not something that Muslims should be ashamed of.

Oh.

Because people think that, oh, Islam promotes slavery.

Does Islam promote slavery?

There is only one means of having slavery, and that is through

capturing of prisoners of war.

None

Muslims, disbelievers.

So if someone attacks my country, I, with the army, defend my country, and we get prisoners of wars.

What do we do with them?

Send them to Guantuanamo.

No.

We enslave them.

Oh, this is against human rights.

Well, them attacking us is human rights.

It's okay, Annie.

No, this is human rights.

How?

This disbeliever who was an enemy of Islam.

I can execute him and get it over with.

But what I'm giving him is an honest and decent life.

By living in our houses and looking at how we treat them and looking at how we worship Allah Azza wa Jal, this would make them accept Islam voluntary because there is no compulsion in religion.

And that is why the Prophet

said in the authentic hadith, I am astonished, I am amazed

of people being dragged to paradise in chains.

Who would be dragged in paradise in chains?

Everybody goes through paradise willingly.

The Prophet is giving us a metaphor because these prisoners of war they were enslaved, so they were in chains, and these chains made them accept Islam and hence enter paradise as if they were dragged into it.

So, I mean, I think this is really good.

It's perfectly reasonable.

You know,

Islam, you know, people say that Islam promotes slavery, but there's only one kind of slavery that is okay.

Now, that itself was kind of a

moment for me.

I always thought, no, there's no reason that slavery is okay.

There's not, but no, in Islam, there is.

But now you know better.

You know better.

Now I know better.

It is if you're a prisoner of war.

Right.

You're a prisoner of war and,

you know, you can convert to Islam or you can be a slave.

But you're going to want to convert to Islam because you're going to see how

good Islam is, how we live our life, you know, and all of the benefits.

I think maybe a lot of it from slaves,

but all of the benefits that we have.

And you're going to say, you know what?

If that's the way they're living their life, I want to be a part of that.

So,

no.

So let's see.

It seemed like the other alternative to converting other than slavery is that you can also be executed.

So you could die.

You could convert

or you could be a slave.

But he made it very clear.

There is no compulsion.

No, not in Islam.

Not in Islam.

There is no compulsion.

No.

It's convert or die.

Uh-huh.

But that's not, I'm not, I'm not forcing you.

But yeah, that could still choose.

You have that wonderful third option of slavery.

So

it's all about choice.

That's beautiful.

No, it is.

It is.

It is.

And I'm so glad that in Minneapolis, you guys are starting to embrace this.

You know, you're like, you know, we haven't really given the Islamist a chance to, you know, to see how this works out.

We haven't really, in New York, you haven't given that really a chance, you know, somebody who's like, you know, death to all Jews.

Right.

And apparently also for slavery, but only in very specific, I mean, New York.

You'll still have the chance to convert.

You know?

Right.

And you know, stop your belly aching.

Just

embrace it.

There's no compuls.

They're not going to force you.

You're going to want to join Islam.

Sure.

You know,

that's it.

You know, or they'll behead you.

It's weird because there's this book that I read one time and towards the end it talks about how you're going to be beheaded if you don't accept the mark.

And I can't remember what that is.

But there's.

It's in some book there.

Yeah, it's some book that I read.

And don't worry about that, especially if you're in Australia because there is a new queer religion in Australia, cut four.

I only started thinking I might as well start a religion when Trump stood for election, because I thought if you can get elected as a president of the United States, then I can found my own religion.

Creation!

Okay, large and art

in the form of a queer insurrectionary science fiction climate change religion.

It's triumphant, it's jubilant, it's sorrowful, meaningful, incredibly artistic and haristic.

To be honest, it was a bit of a joke, a kind of a finger-up to the establishment.

It has become something completely different and offering, I guess, our idea of a better way.

I really wanted creation to be full of purposeful hysteria and pleasure and poetry and sexiness.

It has big feeling.

It's alluring.

It's glamorous.

It's magic.

It's witchcraft.

Is it activism or is it solace?

I do not know.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Is that brimstone I see coming down from the sky?

What could possibly be wrong with that?

You know, hey, but at least

at least they don't have slaves.

Right.

But they haven't taken any prisoners of war yet, so we'll see.

Let me talk to you about

people coming in or things coming in without

proper paperwork or falsified papers.

It's a massive problem.

We're not talking about immigrants.

We're talking about meat.

Tons of it last year.

Last year alone, thousands of tons of foreign meat was imported, meat that was then labeled product of USA, which, you know.

I mean, we need to build a wall just for the meat that is coming in.

You know, it's not American.

It's not a product of America.

What that means is to our government is that it may be been packaged here in America.

Oh, okay.

So the saran wrap comes from America.

I was worried about the meat, not the saran wrap.

Good Ranchers sells 100% American meat, born right here, raised here, processed here.

They're like Border Patrol for your freezer.

No mystery meat from mystery countries, just honest to goodness, USA beef, chicken, and seafood delivered straight to your door.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

We're glad you're here.

Pat Gray is joining us, going in for Stu, who is on vacation for a a couple of days.

Some breaking news here, too.

It's pretty interesting.

Clothing retailer American Eagles' new advertising campaign just hit an unexpected obstacle as a federal judge ordered actress Sidney Sweeney to gain 100 pounds and

have a nasty-looking butch haircut.

Of course, this is breaking for the Babylon B.

I was going to say, it's got to be the Babylon B.

They are tremendous, aren't they?

They are so great.

They are just

so so good.

So good.

Judge Eileen Bauer, an Obama appointee to a D.C.

area district court, issued the emergency ruling that Sweeney's attractiveness violated the law and demanded that she pack on the weight to become as visually unappealing to consumers as possible.

This type of brazen attractiveness cannot be allowed to stand, she wrote.

It is fun to see the absolute hysteria over this jeans ad that, I don't know, 10 years ago, nobody would have batted an eyelash about it.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You know, but five years ago, it wouldn't have been done.

Yeah, that's true.

They wouldn't have made it.

That is true.

Where do you think they jumped the shark?

Where do you think this movement jumped the shark?

Because we are, wouldn't you agree?

I mean, it could turn at any time.

It could.

The American people are showing they're done with this.

They're just done with it.

And I was thinking about it.

Stu and I were talking about it earlier this week, and there's a couple of options.

I mean, I think the most obvious is the Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney.

Yes.

Yeah, that was a big one.

Yeah.

But there was.

But you know what?

The other really big one lately was the

Jaguar commercial.

Yeah, I was going to say that's the other one, the Jaguar ad that came out.

And that one just didn't.

That one was just...

to me, that was a sign this is over because it went nowhere.

There was no controversy over it.

It just went nowhere.

Dylan Mulvaney, there was big controversy, but, and that was the moment where I think the right or, you know, right thinking Americans, and I don't mean that about anything other than, can you just stop?

Sell a damn beer.

Sell a beer.

Okay.

Yeah.

Stop making a political or social point on everything you do.

Jewey, just beer, man.

Stop taking yourself so seriously.

Yeah.

I think that was the moment where people just stood up and said, I'm just sick of it.

But Jaguar was the moment where it just was,

I think, proclaimed dead on arrival.

That went nowhere.

There was no controversy.

There was nothing.

Nothing.

But when people saw

a bunch of people who were, I guess, non-binary, dressed bizarrely, doing nothing but sitting and standing around, and you don't even show your product

in in the confines of the ad.

I think people, yeah, I think they're just done with it.

And that's why their sales were decreased by 98.5% in one year.

90.

98.5% in Europe.

9.5%.

Yeah, they went from selling about 2,000 Jaguars a month in Europe to 49.

What is the possible reason?

I've never seen anything like that.

What is the other possible reason?

What is the other possible reason?

Well, they also, I think, are messing with the electric situation, too.

They were planning to completely transition to all-electric vehicles.

And that wasn't super powerful.

Power a lot of companies.

Yeah, a lot of them.

A lot of companies were doing that.

And a lot of companies have failed in that endeavor.

I mean, look at the Chevy Volt.

You go all the way from Chevy

to Jaguar, Bentley.

I mean, you would expect a company like Bentley to come out with a great version of it.

Their electric versions are in the shop.

I mean, within days of being off the showroom floor.

It's just, it's killing these companies.

And I couldn't be happier.

They're that bad.

And I couldn't be happier.

By the way, have you been reading about the Genesis,

the car Genesis?

No.

They're the ones that always look like the Bentley.

Have you ever noticed that?

Well, they've obviously tried to rip off the Bentley logo.

I don't even know how they got away with it because it does look, especially from a distance, it looks like a a big car.

It does.

So what is amazing to me is I'm reading about it.

I mean, remember,

this is Kia, isn't it?

It's Hyundai.

Isn't that the

Hyundai?

That's what it is.

Yeah.

Hyundai.

And 10 years ago, Hyundai wanted to make a luxury car.

And, you know, the people rightfully said,

you're Hyundai.

You'll never get past Hyundai.

Right.

And they said, well, we want to make a luxury brand.

So they decided to rename it Genesis.

And if you watch it over the last 10 years, it has gotten better and better every year.

But they went out and they hired the best German engineers.

They hired people from

BMW and Mercedes.

They may have taken somebody from Bentley, Volkswagen,

and

Audi.

and brought them over to design and

Car and Driver, I think it was Car and Driver Road and Track,

has just done a review of their latest and said for, is it maybe $90,000 or $100,000, they say it surpasses the Mercedes and is as close to a Bentley as you can get for $100,000.

Wow.

That's incredible.

Yeah, it is.

That is

saying something.

If it's better than that, that is saying something.

If it's better than the same class of Mercedes for $100,000, it costs you twice.

It costs you twice the amount of money.

Yeah.

Wow.

And at Bentley, probably, what, four times as much?

Easy, four times as much.

And so, I mean, if you can get into a great class for around $100,000, that changes everything.

That changes everything for them.

And, you know, I just wish it was an American company.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Like that.

But

anyway, the largest NYPD graduating class since 2016 has taken the stage at Madison Square Garden.

The graduating class is 965 new NYPD cops.

That is huge, huge.

Now, I'm wondering if you're going to be regretting that career choice in, let's say, coming November, December, or at least January of next year when Mondani is your new mayor, because that is not going to go well for the New York Police Department.

A Momdani

mayoral term

won't be good.

With the guy who wants to defund the police?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

It'll be really bad.

That's going to hit that city in so many different ways if they don't come to their senses.

Have you seen, I mean, even

liberals now are saying they've got to move out.

They've got to move out because they just don't trust that that thing's just not going to implode.

And it will.

It will implode.

If he can do half of the stuff, can you imagine just going grocery shopping in two years in New York City if you don't have the police that you would have, if you continue and further the

catch and release kind of atmosphere, if you're taxing all of the big businesses and the big corporations out of business so they can't stay there anymore.

So you'll have all these empty buildings and it'll be a ghost town.

And then on top of it, you have city-run grocery stores for non-profit.

It is going to be be a hell hole, a hell hole.

The efficiency of the DMV coming to your local grocery store is such an exciting possibility that

how do you not vote for that?

Can I tell you something?

That is an insult to DMVs.

It really is.

I mean, you know, there are some states where the DMV is not as bad as it is in most blue states.

In Texas, it's okay.

It's not great, but it's okay.

But I've never been to a state where I'm like, man, the

Department of Motor Vehicles, I could hang out there all day.

I just love this.

The whole experience was like going to Disneyland.

It's not

nowhere.

The government screws it up every single time.

Imagine that in your grocery store.

I was really surprised to see that they had tried this in a Kansas City suburb where they had a public grocery store.

And it's been so bad that it's about to go out of business.

They just said it's untenable.

They can't make it work anymore.

And it was fairly popular at first because the prices were lower.

Then all of a sudden,

they had no selection there and they were out of items and the prices increased and you got shortages and you can't get what you need at that grocery store.

Hmm.

Wonder why that happened.

Imagine if all the grocery stores were like that.

Right.

And then imagine what happens to the employees that can't be fired

who are working at the grocery store when you're like, hey, you know, you guys are out of milk.

When are you going to get any milk?

And you're kind of a little upset because, you know, it's a government-run grocery store and I was promised all kinds of wonderful things.

When are you going to get milk?

Imagine the attitude.

from the government employee

who you can't blame for for anything.

There is nobody that gets blame for anything.

So there's nobody that may be held responsible.

Imagine how bad that employee is.

And then if you decide, well, we're going to boycott, boycott all you want.

We're going to, you know, we're going to march in the street.

We're going to call the press.

Uh-huh.

You mean the same press that is helping Mondami do this right now?

Really?

That press.

They're going to help you.

They're going to give you coverage.

The entire system of the free world breaks down when you start to encroach on the free market.

It all breaks down.

And you're seeing it break down right now.

You know, our biggest problem, I contend, is the press.

Can you imagine if

there wasn't internet media now,

if there wasn't the Blaze, if there wasn't Megan Kelly, if there wasn't the Daily Wire, you know, if

John Solomon still had to report it it through the New York Times or the Washington Post,

imagine how much would not be covered, how much you would just stand around going, is it just me?

Yeah, it'd be cut.

And you would feel like it was just you.

I mean, that was one of the first things that changed.

When I went to Fox, you have to remember, people were not doing the kinds of shows on cable news, and I apologize for this, and I have for quite a few years.

People were not doing shows the way they're doing shows shows now.

Nobody was coming out with opinions the way I was coming out with opinions and tying the news together and then saying, and this is what it means, and then talking directly to the audience.

Remember, the first thing that I did was the 9-12 project and I said, you're not alone.

You're not alone.

Because everybody was asking at the time, is it just me?

That's because there was no press that was reporting anything.

And so we all felt so alone.

Imagine what it will be like in New York City, how alone you will feel, because there won't be anybody reporting on the truth of what's going on, at least in mainstream media.

By the way, if you feel alone in D.C., Donald Trump says he might deploy the National Guard in D.C.

because violent crime is through the roof there.

And so you know, the president has the right to do that.

The District of Columbia, it might have a mayor and a city council, but it is actually run

by Congress.

It gets all of its funding from Congress for the city, et cetera, et cetera.

So the federal government can step in in Washington, D.C., and they are considering because

not only is crime out of control in D.C.,

but mental illness is out of control.

And I know you're like, well, of course, the main asylum is there on the hill.

No, not just the mental illness there.

The mental illness on the street is truly unlike anything I have seen in the nation's capital.

I've seen it in Washington, D.C.

I mean, sorry, I've seen it in New York.

I've seen it in Seattle.

I've seen it in Los Angeles.

I've seen it in San Francisco.

But I have not seen it in the nation's capital to this degree.

And it's violent mental illness.

And unfortunately, you know, they'll say, oh, see, he just wants to use the National Guard.

He's a fascist.

Well, you know, you kind of put yourself into a situation to where you have to have the federal government bring in the National Guard because your local government won't do anything about it.

And why is that?

Because you keep voting crazy people in.

Hello, New York.

If you vote for this kind of stuff, your crime goes out of control.

The people rise up.

I mean, this was, I mean, top down, bottom up, inside out.

This is what I've been preaching in here for about 15 years.

That's what it's designed to do.

Make the city so out of control that the feds have to come in and put a giant foot on everybody.

And you call it fascism.

Well, yes.

And you've designed the system to do exactly that.

Thank God we don't have one of those architects at the top.

We have a guy who's just saying, crime has got to stop.

As soon as you clean it up, we'll pull the National Guard out like he did in Los Angeles.

But the others, the designers of this whole inside-out, you know,

bottom-down, top-up, or top-down, bottom-up kind of stuff, they don't ever want to take their foot off of the necks of citizens.

Christy Dome, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Oh, thank you, Glenn.

I'm doing great.

Thank you for inviting me to be on.

No, it's great to have.

First of all, thank you for the shoe thing.

Thank you.

I feel like a human being again.

That was like the first thing when I got here

said to TSA.

I'm like, I think the shoe thing is made up.

I'm not sure our technology hasn't evolved enough where we don't have to take our shoes off anymore.

So they

ran the security protocols and made sense.

And we're continuing to evaluate everything TSA does.

And

hospitality needs to be a part of this equation, too.

I think so many people that encounter our security checkpoints just wonder, is this necessary?

And why is everybody yelling at us?

Yeah.

I mean, I don't think a lot of it is necessary, at least the way that we're doing it.

I don't know why.

I mean,

I know you've seen the numbers.

Yeah.

What is it, Seattle or San Francisco?

One of them that has the private security is better than the government-run security.

Yeah, yeah, so we've got,

I think, 16 or 18 airports now that have private security that we've contracted with for those measures.

So

we're continuing to evaluate that at every location and implement it where we can.

If we think it's more better protocols for security, but also works better for the traveler.

My vision is that at some point we get to you walk in the door of the airport with your carry-on suitcase, you walk through a scanner pulling your suitcase and go right to your gate.

And that technology is available and out there, but we just need to get it updated and get it implemented.

Yeah, good.

I want to talk to you about ICE.

First of all, you're removing the age limits for new applications to join ICE.

Does that mean, I mean, I'm only 61.

I'd like to, I mean, does that mean somebody like me, I could have the Velcro shoes and I could come out.

I'm sure I have a bad back.

I can barely walk.

But

can I be a part of ICE?

You're still going to have to pass the physical test, Glenn.

I'm sorry.

But there will be a physical exam and training and all that.

But yes, we do want some of these folks that retired from law enforcement under the Biden administration,

got frustrated, maybe former Border Patrol, former federal officers that weren't allowed to do their jobs before, to come back and to be a part of literally saving America and saving these communities and cities that have been so victimized by the crime and drugs of these illegal criminals that have been out there attacking their families.

So it has been amazing.

We have 10,000 new officers that we received funding from in the Big Beautiful bill to hire for ICE and we have already had over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions.

So we're rolling through that and getting them through the process to see if they qualify so we can give them final offers.

But what I like about that the most, Glenn, is the fact that, you know, the media and the socialists and Marxists have done nothing more than try to demonize our ICE officers.

And to see that kind of response in less than a week just shows that the American people stand with the rule of law, that they want to help and they want to be a part of this.

And so that in itself has been so encouraging to ICE just to see that people want to join the team and they're excited about it.

Yeah, now people on the left are saying that, you know, you're turning ICE into a teenage army for deportations.

No,

we're not.

Nothing's changing.

But that's, you know, I'm shocked every day by the amount of stories that we have to refute that just are completely false.

There will be so many stories shared, so many things said, so many narratives that we spend half of our time over here at the Department of Homeland Security saying, that's not true.

No, we didn't.

That's not a fact.

You know, just

even making up anecdotal stories about families that just never even happened.

Right.

I am amazed.

I mean, when you're taking on somebody like Mom Donnie and they're accusing ICE now of kidnapping people.

Yes.

You know, kidnapping, when you start planting things like they're just pulling up in unmarked trucks and they're wearing masks because they're Nazis and they're just kidnapping people off the street,

you are telling people you have a reason and a license to stop these people with any means necessary.

It is so dangerous.

It's so dangerous.

Well, and we just got this morning the notification that attacks on ICE officers is up by over a thousand percent than what it was six months ago.

So, you know, because those politicians and those

extremists talk that way, I mean, I tell people, I've said this my whole life, words have consequences.

What you say matters.

And the consequences of using dangerous language like that is that people take action on them.

Anybody who has a tendency to be unstable or to be violent, that almost gives them permission to go out there and take action against these individuals who all, these guys just, you know, they don't, they're not picking and choosing winners or deciding who the law applies to.

They're just doing their job, upholding the law, and they want to go home at night to their families too.

So this is what amazes me that you're getting 80 or 90,000 applicants when you have these radicals putting

wanted posters up of people in their own neighborhoods.

I mean, just as, I mean, as a dad, I don't know if I could put my family in danger.

And, you know, I mean, how are we, what are we going to do to stop this kind of stuff?

Well, we are going to keep doing our job no matter what.

And we're building special operations teams to handle the situations we face out on the streets.

And one of the things when we're in these communities, and that's why I've spent so much time with our agents and officers, because I want to know what they go through when they run these ops.

And it's amazing to me when we're out on the street in New York City or in the Bronx or in L.A.,

you're doing an operation in an apartment where you have a warrant,

but people are walking by taking their kids to school or they're walking to work and they're saying, thank you.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you.

We have lived with this for years and our mayor, our governor won't do anything.

Thank you for being here.

So people are overwhelmingly, and that's what I tell our ICE officers all the time is you're not all over the country like I am or out in these communities as much with the different components under your homeland security, but overwhelmingly people say thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

So I think that what happens so much in this country is the extremists are loud and the normal people just go to work and keep their heads down.

Yeah, but they have to

go ahead.

We just have to be vocal about our support.

Like I'm encouraging people that are hardworking everyday Americans to be bold about saying I support our law enforcement officers.

I support what they're doing to arrest these rapists and these murderers.

I mean, just this last couple of days, we've arrested dozens and dozens of sexual predators, pedophiles.

You should see these cases that we've built against these individuals from Honduras and from Mexico, and they're here illegally.

Some from Ukraine,

and they're raping people and murdering them.

We had ones that have been arrested two or three times and released by their city.

And they don't honor our detainers, and then

they end up killing someone in a drunk driving accident or assaulting someone, and then we finally get the chance to incarcerate them when we pick them up before the locals do.

Because if the locals do, and they're a sanctuary city, they don't honor our detainers, they just turn them loose again.

So, let me ask you, and this might be unfair because I don't know if this falls under Homeland Security at all, but you know, we had

Delia Ramirez and Elon Omar has done it too,

declare that

they are more,

you know, they feel more akin to Somalia or to Guatemala than America.

And they're serving in Congress.

I mean,

do we enforce the oath of office?

Yeah, I don't.

The Department of Justice would make that determination, but that is alarming to me.

And for the...

If you had an officer that said that, I mean, I'm assuming your ICE officers take an oath to the Constitution.

If they had, would you consider that a fireable offense?

Yes, Yes, absolutely.

And we do take action on that.

And when we

I've used every authority,

there's expansive authorities here.

This is a national security position, and I tell people consistently, the Department of Homeland Security, I have the authority over every person in this country that leaves this country or comes into this country.

We have the authority over every

product or good that is in this country or leaves this country or comes in.

And we also have jurisdiction over the Internet.

So what is said and done, what is a security security concern, and what is communicated and protecting our critical infrastructure, but also how bad actors would wish to do us harm.

So the authorities there, I have, and I've been using when these specific situations where we have people who don't love America, I will use polygraphs.

I will use the authority that I have to find out that if you're going to be in this federal government where our mission and our oath is to protect this country, you're not going to be allowed to be here if that is is not truly where your efforts go every single day.

So those members of Congress,

I don't sleep much, and when I'm laying there thinking about it at night, I just think they must, is that our poor education system that we didn't spend enough time in our schools teaching the Constitution, teaching the Declaration of Independence, the fact that how hard this country was fought for and why it was established and that we facilitate where someone can actually get elected to a high office like that and say something like that, and we would have people nod their heads.

That's

it's a ripple effect of, I think, many years of neglect.

Yeah.

I think I used to believe it was just neglect, and it might have been at first, but it is what they're actively being taught.

It's not just what they're being left, what's being left out.

They're actively being taught to hate the country

at this point.

Let me ask you just a couple of quick questions.

SCOTUS, if they rule against birthright

citizenship, President Trump's order, will you respect the ruling of the Supreme Court?

We have always respected federal rulings and will do so.

I think that would, I don't know when that ruling's expected for sure, but that would be a very consequential ruling that we would have to figure out how to handle and deal with.

Do you agree with SCOTUS that illegal aliens have some due process rights?

And why or why not?

I do, but I do believe due process looks different according to the law and according to what's afforded to them.

So most people, when they think of due process, don't do their homework and research to really understand that it's not a guarantee of a hearing or an in-person presentation in front of a judge.

Or the due process looks very different for an illegal alien that's in our country than it does for a U.S.

citizen, and that is appropriate.

I think that's entirely appropriate.

And we have always afforded every single

illegal that's in this country due process before they are removed.

There's not been an instance where ICE or immigration officials haven't done so.

Tom Holman told me months ago, he said there are several phases of this.

What phase are we in,

and how many phases do we have, or where are we in the process of getting this really done?

Well, I asked President Trump for this job because

I knew he was going to have to have someone that was actually tough enough to do it, but tough enough to do it for a long period of time, that wasn't going to say,

you know, this is a six-month operation and then we're going to soften and get ready for midterms.

You know, I knew he needed somebody that could sustain this because what Joe Biden broke by allowing this invasion can't be undone overnight.

So

it will be

ongoing efforts.

We have funding through the reconciliation bill to sustain it for the next four years and we will.

And it will only get stronger and stronger and bigger.

We intend to grow it, not shrink it.

And we are going after the worst of the worst and those criminals that are killing Americans and victimizing Americans as well.

But I mean, overwhelmingly, I've been to, I think, 11 or 12 different countries in Central and South America negotiating security agreements and sharing of information on criminals and people that they think are in our country.

And talking with those presidents of those countries and sitting down with their leadership, it's amazing.

They're telling me that hundreds and hundreds of thousands of their people have already come home voluntarily.

That just because we've been so strong on the messaging, the commercials, the CCOT videos have convinced people that we're in this country illegally.

You know what?

I'm going to leave now, and then I have a chance to go back to America the right way.

And I think the president of Mexico and her team were telling me they believe that 500,000 Mexicans have just voluntarily came home that may not even be on our radar that we haven't counted because they didn't come home through our app or through our systems.

And I was just in Ecuador and Chile and Argentina, the same conversations.

So I do believe we're making a big difference, even in just our messaging, that people that were here illegally understand that they should go home on their own first.

And then we need to figure out if they're given the advantage to come back to this country how we do that.

Well, I don't know about you.

I imagine you were far more busy than I ever have been.

But I remember when

South Park did an episode and Cartman played me the whole time.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

It took me about a year before even, I didn't even know it happened until like maybe a year later.

I was so busy.

And

I ended up years later watching it with my son and we both laughed over it.

But welcome to the club.

Well, I guess so.

I didn't get to see it.

I was going over budget numbers and stuff.

But you know, I just think it's,

yeah,

it never ends.

But it's so lazy.

It just constantly make fun of women for how they look.

Only the liberals and the extremists do that.

If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that.

But clearly they can't.

They just pick something petty like that.

Christy, thanks so much.

God bless.

Thanks, Glenn.

You too.

And thanks, Christy.

Thank you.

Keep praying.

We're doing good.

Yep, I know you are.

Thank you so much, Christy.

Bye-bye.
