Ever leave a holiday table with strong opinions and a stronger urge to fix things? We channel that energy into a focused look at leadership, immigration, and the choices that actually move the needle. From Arkansas to Austin to Phoenix, we trace how context—not slogans—shapes outcomes, and why the details of placement, process, and community design determine whether newcomers struggle or thrive.

We start with a lively debate over Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Christmas proclamation, pulling apart what’s constitutional, what’s cultural signaling, and why these fights feel bigger than a single memo. Then we dive into immigration with a clear lens: legal pathways support success through vetting and services, while illegal flows often create parallel systems that strain schools, healthcare, housing, and wages. Using Phoenix’s Iraqi resettlement as a case study, we show how intentional placement, English programs, employer partnerships, and faith-based networks lead to higher employment, faster language acquisition, and real civic participation. We contrast that with dense enclaves in blue metros where isolation and overwhelmed services slow integration, not as a blame game, but as a policy lesson about how to build bridges that work.

There’s also a lighter—but telling—moment in college sports: Arch Manning’s choice to take less NIL money so Texas can recruit better talent. It’s a simple act with big implications, a Gen Z signal that leadership is service, merit thrives in teams, and long-term wins beat short-term shine. That theme returns as we tackle the “affordability” narrative around deportations. We scrutinize the claims and argue for a full ledger—one that weighs immediate enforcement costs against long-term burdens on housing markets, wages, and public services. The goal isn’t to score points; it’s to demand honest math so voters can judge tradeoffs without spin.

If you care about assimilation that works, constitutional leadership, and practical policies that lift wages and lower pressure on families, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves spirited debate, and leave a review with the one change you’d make to improve integration where you live. Your take could shape our next episode.

It's time! From Newport Beach, California, the sun is shining, the beaches are packed, and the waves are rolling in. All while the Lastgate Conservative prepares to share more truth with America. He's America's binary brother, the holiest homo, and the gayest conservative of all time, working to restore common sense conservative politics in the American household. Welcome to the Last Gate Conservative Podcast. Here's your host, Tad Law.

SPEAKER_02:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, America. It's the Monday after Christmas, and I'm sure many of you are still recovering from biting your tongue and gritting your teeth through dinner with the one liberal family member everyone must walk on eggshells for. Welcome to another episode of the Last Gay Conservative Podcast. I'm your host, Chad Law, America's binary brother, the holiest homo and the gayest conservative of all time, sending truth on the airwaves on the only rainbow that matters: the red, white, and blue rainbow. If you're wondering, the best Christmas gift you could give me is sharing the show, commenting on an episode, and subscribing to the YouTube channel. It's really tough starting from the ground floor again, and we have so many great fans on our audio program. We appreciate your promotion of the new video show. Going from several hundred thousand listeners on audio to seeing a thousand views here and there has been a little bit of a challenge for me and my ego. So I'm asking for your help in spreading our message. We're well-informed, principled, and very beautiful. Not to mention how funny I am. Just don't forget, you can still give the gift of the last gay conservative for free. Your friends will love you for it. And don't forget to tell them and remind yourselves that I love hearing from you. Last Gay is the phone number. You can leave a message on the voice line or text. If you want a more direct link, go to your device that you're listening to, go to the episode. In the description, there's a link. It says text the show. Click it and let me have it, folks. This isn't Europe, so feel free to say whatever you want, including how bad I look. Keeps me motivated. I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas and are taking down your Christmas lights. For those of you who think it's normal to keep up Christmas lights until the new year, it's not. You're just lazy. Get your lights down. My new neighbors in Scottsdale, as you know, I just moved to Scottsdale, uh made the mistake of challenging my Christmas lights. I got sucked into the Christmas light challenge when they told me they do our block like Candy Cane Lane, which ironically, the original is right near where I grew up. I naturally thought it would be grand. Well, mine and others looked more like Candy Cane Lane in Compton. Here I was thinking I would be good and Tim Allen, home improvement style. This Candy Cane Lane seriously needed gentrifying. Next year, we're doing white string lights, and that's it. Challenge learned, challenge accepted. Christmas lights aren't that easy. But we've got a lot to cover in today's gaily news. But on a quick side note, let me just say, thank God for my mother, folks. We would literally have no friends if it weren't yelling at my dad and I to keep our mouths shut. I don't know about you, this time of year, I think in most houses, if it weren't for moms, it would be a disaster with fighting, present drama, etc. But moms seem to step up every December and say, enough! We are a family and will celebrate as such. Times like this make me realize how important it is for us to have a woman president. We got America's grandpa with Trump, a little quirky, but willing to roll up his sleeves and get the dirty work done. Now it might be time for a woman with the ability to be families who hate each other together and matching denim and plaid for family photos. You see the front lawn now of the White House, AOC, Rubio, DeSantis, J.D. Vince, all together in plaid and denim. Now, my dream is Sarah Huckabee Sanders would be our first female president. She demonstrates the ultimate mom mode for Arkansas, focuses on her state, not being president or something bigger. She was the ultimate press secretary that handled the press with so much strength in class in Trump's first term. And she just demonstrated over the holidays that she will not be pushed around, her faith will not be questioned, and Arkansas will always get the best she has to offer. Very underreported saving Christmas story from Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But I love her! Not to mention she doesn't shoot puppies in the face. Just saying. Christine O'M is, though, in the perfect position for herself. Trump nailed her appointment 100%. I know she was a top contender for Trump's VP pick before her proud admission of puppy murder. However, that's the woman you want rounding up these criminals and ungrateful illegal immigrants. She thinks a bird dog puppy who goes after her neighbor's chickens, aka birds, by instinct deserve to be shot in the face. I mean, man, these Somalis who come here and steal, or the thousands of Chinese that are setting up anchor baby birth centers all over the country should be scared and self-deport because Noem, don't play. I mean, if I were illegal and seeing all this, then getting offered three grand a flight and a clean immigration record to self-deport, I would do it faster than a New York minute. The other alternative is to go up against a woman who doesn't blink when she shoots puppies in the face. Just think about it. The choice is yours. I'm scared shitless of her. Which is why tens of thousands of illegals gave us an early Christmas gift, took her up on her holiday offer, and self-deported this year. But the liberal media wants you to focus on forcible deportation, when in actuality the self-deportation program has been one of the most successful immigration programs in history. And I hope we fast-track applications for those who want to come back legally who have willingly left. That makes sense. But there isn't a sob story in the world that will deter her from securing this country, which is exactly what we need right now. Economically, educationally, healthcare, etc. If you're a criminal illegal alien, you should wonder who is scarier, you or someone who can shoot a puppy in the face? I'd hate to see what's behind the walls of the Alcatraz detention centers for you. However, I digress. Wanted to start with something a little bit more positive with a great story out of Austin, Texas, the Longhorns Football Program. Uh gives me great hope for the new year and new generations. My fact checker and new assistant producer, Evan, brought me a great story about Arch Manning, the Texas quarterback and the latest star in the football family dynasty. Look, I usually only talk about things I'm an expert on. As you know, I'm either right or silent. I'm a diehard Longhorns fan. I love football, but I don't really talk about it on my show because there's so many amazing sports broadcasters and experts that cover this stuff. However, if stupid idiot Stephen A. Smith can have a political show, I guess I can talk sports for one episode. One of the things that keeps me going is that these Gen Zers seem to get it. In a total departure from the Obama monster millennial, common core me first mentality like Diego Pavia, Arch took a pay cut to free up funds for the team's recruiting efforts and attract top talent. I think it's inspiring and want to share the story with all of you when we come back. But in not so surprising news, Democrats changed their tune on immigration to now claiming they don't have the money to deport all these people. Part of their new affordability campaign scam. This is the party that altered the nomenclature of government programs, including Medicaid, to include parolees, also known as asylum seekers, which we now know is a very, very easily abused, backed up, and broken system. Under Biden, essentially anyone could claim they were seeking asylum, then sit in this country with free healthcare, education, get a driver's license, and essentially have the same rights as legal immigrants, those who have paid, followed the process, or those who genuinely need asylum. And they get pregnant and start having American citizens through birthright citizenship, all by design. However, folks, it's important to understand that not all immigrants are created equal. And I want to highlight some successful and failed programs so you understand. You may not know this, I didn't know this, but we actually have 20,000 Iraqi Arabs that largely stem from asylum seekers during the Bush Middle East nightmares. They're largely family-first, assimilated, and active in all aspects of the local economy from employment to business ownership. Many of them align with conservatives on issues like parent rights, men and women's sports, and medical freedom. Anyone who calls for an all-Muslim ban or wants to use places like Dearbornistan, Michigan, and Chicago or New York as examples of how legal resettlement does not work is wrong and largely ignorant. Legal immigration works, and it's not just about the immigrant, it's about where we put them. I will show you how immigrants that have been placed in assimilation forward, largely more conservative locales, are thriving, like in Phoenix. And in blue states like Minnesota, that focused on exclusion, put everyone up in separate government buildings, and hoped and prayed for self-selected assimilation, are failing miserably. All that, today's monologue on all immigrants are not created equal, and more when we're back after these words. Well, folks, we finally made the switch. We're now shooting this show primarily for YouTube out of our 8K high definition supermodern studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. You'll see all kinds of new fun clips and shorts all over social media. We're getting great press coverage, and most importantly, the channel is growing the same way that this show grew in the very beginning. Head over and check out the YouTube show, folks. Or you can just keep listening. Either way, the show might sound a little different, but we want to encourage you to head over to the YouTube show, subscribe to the channel, watch a show or two, like and share so we can continue our movement, spreading truth and restoring common sense, conservative politics in the American household. Again, you guys are the best audience. I wouldn't want any other listeners. You are the best. So check out the YouTube channel, check me out on video, and let me know what you think. Most importantly. Welcome back, America. Welcome to today's episode where we address a sensitive but important topic. Immigrants aren't all equal. This is not a comment on human worth, but an examination of how arrival methods and placement influence both immigrant success and the broader social fabric of this country. First of all, let me say I'm sorry to all the hard-working Muslims who've contributed to this country, assimilated and don't deserve to be included in these selfish and hateful, silly calls for total Muslim bans amongst new fascist conservatives. Calling for an Islamic total prohibition is the same as calling for a total ban on Jews. Even Genghis Khan spoke about the importance of absolute religious freedom in a successful society. Again, if you must blame large groups of people, you're the problem. Not them, you have no solution. People like Tucker Carlson blame Jews in Israel for the current issues impacting Americans, while people like Laura Loomer blame Muslims for Americans' problems. Americans, though, real Americans, don't blame others or point fingers. We find solutions. And there is zero evidence that can support any of today's issues are brought by religious beliefs. Blaming large groups is propaganda style, laziness in reporting, and only hinders our progress. It is essential to recognize that legal and illegal immigration are distinct. Legal immigrants undergo vetting, documentation, and a process intended to support both their success and that of their new communities. As JFK stated, everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life. However, Kennedy also supported a fair and controlled immigration process. You see, legal immigration helps ensure newcomers have access to support systems, language training, and resources for assimilation. Whereas in contrast, illegal immigration often leaves the individuals vulnerable, unable to access basic services, and at risk of crime and exploitation. The issue extends beyond legality. It affects the ability to thrive. As historian Victor Davis Hansen notes, illegal immigration tends to create parallel societies rather than integrated ones. It's exactly what we're seeing today. History has always provides valuable insights. For example, during the 2000s, the U.S. government and local agencies resettled thousands of Iraqi refugees in Phoenix, Arizona, a city established with Arab American communities, job opportunities, and social services. According to a 2012 Migration Policy Institute report, this intentional placement led to higher employment rates and faster English language acquisition among Iraqis in Phoenix than among similar groups in less supportive settings, aka Minnesota, as my refugee Iraqi Barber told me about relocating to Arizona in 2011. Quote, here we found people who understood us and helped us. We felt safe and could start again. The structure and the systems helped us and did not hinder us or make us feel different. We wanted to know how to succeed in this new land, not how to perpetuate our limited existence back home, isolated without opportunities and community. Immigrants who resist assimilating through the programs put in place are hurting themselves and handicapping their ability to live their best life. Heard that last week while I was getting my hair cut. Today, much of the assimilation debate, particularly regarding Middle Eastern immigrants, overlooks the importance of placement. When newcomers are sent to areas with limited resources, cultural understanding, and support, assimilation often suffers. Sociologist Alejandro Portes notes: successful integration is as much about the receiving community as it is about the immigrant. The struggles and challenges observed in parts of Europe where Middle Eastern immigrants are placed in isolated suburbs with high unemployment and limited engagement highlight shortcomings in placement policy rather than shortcomings of the actual immigrants. A similar pattern appears in the United States. Immigrants resettled in more conservative or Republican-leaning areas, such as parts of Texas, Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, often demonstrate stronger indicators of successful assimilation than those settled in dense, isolated immigrant communities in blue states like Minnesota, New York, or California. In Republican regions, local communities have made concerted efforts to welcome newcomers, facilitate English language learning, and encourage civic participation. For instance, in Amarillo, Texas, Somali and Iraqi refugees have found not only job opportunities in industries like meat packing and healthcare, but also access to faith-based support networks, mentorship programs, and robust adult education classes. Local churches and community groups frequently organize cultural exchanges, neighborhood events, and provide platforms for immigrants and longtime residents to interact and build trust. As a result, many newcomers have achieved homeownership, started small businesses, and take on leadership roles in local organizations and school boards. According to a 2019 study by the Migration Policy Institute, appointment and naturalization rates among refugees in these areas, Republican areas, consistently outpaced national averages. In contrast, outcomes in places like Minneapolis, Minnesota, or parts of California, particularly urban neighborhoods with large concentrations of immigrants from Somalia, Yemen, or Syria, are different. While these communities provide cultural familiarity and support, they often experience persistent segregation, strained social services, and lower English proficiency. Language barriers, limited economic mobility, and occasional tensions with neighboring communities have slowed their integration. Hello, Minneapolis. A 2020 University of Minnesota reports notes that high school graduation rates and employment among Somali youth in Minneapolis lag those in less concentrated areas, highlighting the challenges posed by insular settlement patterns. Again, however, dispersion, access to the broader community, and intentional local integration efforts, regardless of location, consistently produce better outcomes than clustering newcomers in isolated enclaves. These lessons are essential for creating environments where all immigrants can thrive. When we say immigrants aren't all equal, we mean that context matters. Legal processes, thoughtful placement, and supportive communities are critical. The story of American immigration includes both challenges and successes. By learning from history, we can build a future where newcomers are not only admitted, but also welcomed, supported, and positioned to succeed. Thanks for listening to Monday's monologue. Until next time, let's keep the conversation honest and the solutions humane for the betterment of our nation. We'll be back right after these words. Hey folks, thank you so much for all the compliments about how great I look on camera. I know I joke about uh my appearance, but I do appreciate the compliments and the positive feedback. It helps me going. Most of you are asking about my suits. Twillery is a new men's apparel company that specializes in something called the air suit. That's what you see me wearing on screen. It looks, as you see, like an Italian custom tailored suit, but it's made out of like a Lululemon athleisure material. It's breathable, it's 100% machine washable. Each piece has all kinds of cool little features like uh rough elastic around the inside of the waistband to help your dress shirt stay tucked in. Honestly, folks, half the time I don't know if I'm wearing a suit or my Lululemons to go to the gym. These suits are so comfortable, so easy to wear, and so easy to maintain. There's no excuse not to dress up every day. I wear their airsuit, I wear their performance blazer, and I also wear their dress shirts. Do yourselves a favor, guys, or women who want to get the best gift you can to make your man feel as good and look as good as he possibly can. Go to twillery.com. It's t w i l-l-o-r-y.com. Check out the airsuit, and guess what? They're really cheap too. Don't forget to let them know the last gay conservative sent you at checkout. And we're back, America. Let's start the week off right with a couple of fun stories. First of all, my favorite female conservative politician, I'm a super fan of governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who I believe should be our first female president. She decided to declare Christmas Christmas in Arkansas, where states have the right to declare Christmas Day as not only a federal holiday, but a secular religious state holiday, which Arkansas had not traditionally done. Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote a beautiful memo to the state employees and people of the state of Arkansas, letting them know that Christmas Day would be celebrated for what it is: the birth of Christ, Christmas Day. Go figure. But out of the kindness of her heart, as well as in alignment with everything else she's done for the state, she decided to also include December 26th as a state holiday as well to give employees and people some extra time off to enjoy the long holiday after Christmas. Well, this didn't fly with leftist legal groups who believed that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was disrespecting separations of church and state and abusing her governorship to promote and preach and convert people to Christianity, which we know is not true. Simply, Governor Sanders used Christmas Federal Holiday to promote and share the Christmas message, which is that Christ was being born. Unfortunately, these fuddy duddies on the left can't take anything good and look at it for what it is, which is a nice, sweet holiday message and an extra day off for government employees. Oh no. The Freedom from Religious Foundation says this is unconstitutional. Now, keep in mind the name of the foundation. Freedom from Religion is a nonprofit with over 50,000 members that believe that they're doing the right work by maintaining separations between church and state. Here's the problem with this group: they only go after Christians. They've never done anything about the anti-Christian and anti-Jewish cultural phenomenons that are occurring in Michigan and throughout parts of New York and Chicago. They only speak out when it's Christian and when it's beneficial. They're just party poops. But this Freedom from Religion Foundation decided that they were going to send Sarah Huckabee Sanders a letter letting her know she wasn't legally able to give the day off. Because the 26th is not a religious holiday. She had no right to do so. Well, in fact, the Constitution of the state of Arkansas gives her every right to close the office at any time for any purpose. However, again, it's not good enough for them because anything good has to be fought with a challenge. You're going to say the national constitutional watchdog, only constitutional when it comes to Christian efforts. Okay? Contacted last week on behalf of its Arkansas membership to note that her proclamation to close government offices on Friday, December 6th had crossed a constitutional line, not for giving workers a four-day holiday, but because of its inappropriate theological content. So again, if a governor decides that they are a strong believer and perpetuant of the teachings of Martin Luther King and decided to give all the state employees an additional day after Martin Luther King Day, what is the difference? There is no difference. Jesus, whether you take it religiously or not, was an inspirational historical figure who has every right to be promoted and followed and taught as such. There is nothing in her statement that makes any claim that people should be Christian or selling them on Christianity. No, she says. Christmas is Christmas, and I'm giving you the day off as well. And for those groups that are so shocked by this and think that they're dangling day offs to try to entice people into the Christian faith, clearly don't know what she's been doing since she's been governor. I mean, single-handedly, she has raised teacher salaries by like over 30%. She's made sure teachers are put first. She's done incredible work to ensure the health, safety, and wellness of healthcare workers in the state of Arkansas. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has brought the state into a modern era of free market and fairness using conservative and Christian beliefs and Christian policies. So what I love is this lady, Annie Gaylor, who's the president of FFRF, talk about something uh unnecessary: freedom from religion. Like we're all oppressed by religion and we need a nonprofit group. Wonder how much this woman pays herself. She says, this is precisely the problem. The governor's not speaking as a private citizen or pastor. She's invoking her authority as governor to declare Christian beliefs as truth and to preach them directly to government employees in Arkansas, Arkansans of all faith and none. Sanders responded beautifully when she said, You missed the point of my proclamation. It was not to browbeat readers with Christian doctrine, but rather to point to the humility of Christ's birth and to know that Christ is with you, he loves you, and he died for your sins just the same as he did for mine and everyone else's. Sounds fair to me. Again, folks, these watchdog groups that go around picking and choosing civil liberties to protect are only doing it for political purposes. This has nothing to do with civil liberties. These are not sermons, these are merely facts, beliefs. And Sarah Huckabee Sanders has every right to state those facts and beliefs as governor and to apply her authority as the leading CEO of Arkansas, if you will, to close down the offices and give people the day off. They can't handle it. Because anything positive associated with Christianity, anything positive associated with conservative, anything positive associated with Republicans is always automatically challenged in their Trump derangement syndrome format in order to make sure that no one associates anything good with Christianity, conservatives or Republicans. That's what this is all about. Sarah Huckabee Sanders stuck to her guns and said, 80% of the people of Arkansas are Christian. I'm speaking to my base in a way that they want to be spoken to, which is also true, and her responsibility as an elected representative of the state, of the people of the state. That is the sad double standard about these crazy leftist civil liberties groups that only seemingly attack Christian proclamations, conservative beliefs, conservative policies, and Republican legislation. That's meanwhile, there are radical religious groups that are taking over communities and neighborhoods, crossing the line between church and state and schools, and these people sit with their hands behind their back, doing nothing and watching it explode. Why? Because most of those people vote Democrat. These are just political powerhouses using the legal system and using silly arguments like church and state separation to try to drive a wedge between Christianity, conservatives, Republicans, and people of America. It's never worked, it never will work, but it's a sad, dirty tactic that they use. So Freedom from Religion Foundation tried to get her to take away Christmas and to take the day away from everyone. Why? Because they didn't want any positivity associated with any efforts that she makes. The same thing they do with Trump derangement syndrome. Any conservative, strong conservative leader that does anything right is going to get legal challenges, even if it's based on just giving everyone the day off. Why? Because again, groups like this, Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, Freedom from Religion Foundation, their goal is to politically promote the left, socialists and globalists, and to destroy America first conservatives who don't buy into this concept of victim oppressor mentality, of a government of needing a government to support and guide and to cure all and to take away people's individual liberties and freedoms. However, that is what these groups do. That is what they are here to do. They are merely legal extensions of globalist, socialist, leftists that look to shut down any singular positive perceptions that come out of our conservative movement. So good for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and I hope she becomes president, because Arkansas creates great politicians. There's a great amount of diversity in the state amongst the richest and the poorest Americans, the black, white, brown, and other color Americans. You also have some of the largest employers in the United States, Walmart and Northwest Arkansas. And you have a very, very strong middle class, all of which she has done a phenomenal job managing, building, and growing, while other states, the same size, the same level of diversity that have been led by liberals and globalists, socialists, whatever you want to call them, are floundering right next door, for example. Sarah Huckabee Sanders represents the true conservative movement, the Tea Party movement, the movement of personal liberties, convention of states, true conservative movements that put people first, Americans first, our rights first, and the Constitution first. She is not another fake Republican conservative trying to merely mimic the Trump approach to politics. She does it her way, much like her father did, and she did it her way when she ran Trump's press, and she's doing it her way as the governor of Arkansas. And I think this story just shows you she is not going to be intimidated by these legal groups looking to beat up conservatives and Christians, just doing something nice for their constituents and for their employees. You can associate your personal beliefs with actions, and as long as it doesn't cross the church and state separation line, which it doesn't. She's not educating people about Christianity. She's not telling people they have to be Christians. She's not only including Christians in the state holiday. She's simply sending a holiday message, giving people an extra day off, and that just doesn't cut it, which is generally a great sign for conservatives. When they start putting together their leftist legal teams to battle things like an extra day off, you know they're getting desperate. Sarah Huckleby Sanders is the real deal conservative, folks. And I hope you took that away from every story. In other positive news, Arch Manning gives hope to all of us about Gen Zers and the younger population as the Texas All-Star quarterback and newest star member of the football dynasty took a pay cut from the Texas group NIL pool in order to recruit and attract better talent. Essentially, what Arch Manning did was reinvest his earnings into the team, prioritizing building a team around him over his individual career. He'll always be taken care of with his individual NIL contracts because he has the last name, Manning. However, as a young person of I think 22 or 23 years of age, he recognized the importance of recruiting top talent, having a top team in order to build his own career versus focusing on his own career and hoping the coaches and everyone else just build around him. That's true leadership. That gives me hope going into 2026 that someone with that name and that skill set and the ability to demand whatever he wants is doing the exact opposite and putting money back into a program that is largely going to then turn around and support him. Now, I bring this up in contrast to what we're seeing in at Vanderbilt with Diego Pavia, who seems to be a whiny little bitch who can't stand that he lost the Heisman, which he should have lost the Heisman, because on paper and for all other purposes, the true winner was the true winner. However, he is instead of looking at ways that he can put himself to the back burner and help the program. What is he doing? He's suing the NCAA. He's swearing on social media, then using AI to generate his apology responses. The kid was clearly raised wrong. His family is, I would guess, probably Democrat, because this is the typical response that you see from people who are raised incorrectly, like the narcissistic common core millennial monsters we've seen for the last generation who have demanded things for rights with chicks with dicks over true American priorities. And what gives me hope the most about this is that Arch Manning is part of that Gen Z group that Charlie Kirk worked so hard to shine the light on and to show how wrong we, as an older generation, most of our millennial counterparts, Charlie and I, are wrong and selfish and have largely abandoned the principles of this country, Christian and conservative principles. And what I loved about Charlie the most, and I really try not to talk about him on the show, not because I don't respect him or don't like him, but because I don't ever want to seem that I'm using his name for my own self-promotion. But what I love about this story with Arch Manning is that it reminds me of all the work that Charlie did. The reason why Charlie was successful was not by circumstance or chance or luck. He was the hardest working conservative in our movement, period. More than myself. And I'm a pretty hard worker. However, very few people can sit on a hot day for four or five hours with a line of snot-nosed college students trying to prove you wrong, make you look stupid, and the intention of arguing and respond with poise, class, and understanding. That is what changed the young people of this country. That is what has changed the young people's endorsement and support of President Trump. That is what we see trends in young people. These Gen Zers are going back to church. They're embracing Christian values. The levels of premarital sex, the levels of abortion, all the things that we've talked about are all down organically and naturally, not by legislating and meddling in the market. This is a great example of Charlie's work realized. Arch Manning would be the ideal example of what Turning Point USA has done on college campuses for the last 10 years. And what I love even more about that is that it forces all these other little bratty kids to go, oh, hmm. There is something to be said about reinvesting in team, reinvesting in those around me in order to better myself. I just talked about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, same thing. You don't see her like Marjorie Taylor Green on every single talk show, magazine, time, person of the year. No, she's not. She cares more about the people of Arkansas than she does about her personal publicist. And Arch cares more about the entire Texas program, its fans, its alumni, its donors, its players, than he does about his own future. Because he knows that one goes with the other. Maybe he's seen that from example, but it's also a testament to the conservative ethics and morals that he was raised with. And I think it's important to see that juxtaposition that's happening in younger people who are understanding that being American means they control their own destiny. Being American means that they control their own religious freedom. Being America means that they control their own speech. But largely, being American doesn't mean blaming others, blaming Jews, blaming Muslims, blaming Republicans, blaming Democrats. It involves taking what you can and reinvesting it around you in order for the betterment of everyone else to grow. And no, that's not socialism. That's not fairness. That's not wealth redistribution. That's still very much meritocracy because he's using those funds to attract the top talent, to be able to pay the top talent what they deserve, so they can come and support him. It's capitalism at its finest. But the results are fairness, which is what capitalism is. Generally, when left in the right, non-greedy hands, in the hands of people that have been raised correctly. So here's to Arch Manning, Gen Z, and Turning Point USA, who have done amazing work of shifting the political discourse amongst these common core millennials that were brainwashed and had American history erased out of their vernaculars by Obama, Gen Zers who understand the founding principles of this country and that are willing to sacrifice a little to gain a lot for everyone. And I believe that is a hopeful message for America's future. When we get back, we'll dive into Iran, additional immigration, and talk about how the Democrats believe that deportation isn't about illegals anymore. It's about affordability and the expense of deportation is having on the average American person. Just another scam as part of their affordability campaign to try and deter focus from the outstanding achievements of the Trump administration. All that and more when we come back after these words.

And trying now to tie the cost of deportations to the manufactured affordability crisis that they created in order to distract everyday Americans from understanding that socialists have taken over the Democratic Party. We know socialism makes things more expensive and worse for everyone. They know that too, so it's easier to talk about affordability. But I want you to listen to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, or as I heard on X, the first American talking poodle, call her Wasserdoodle, about how affordability is being impacted by deportations and how deportations are not really America first. Let's have a listen.

SPEAKER_01:

Trump's most popular issue is immigration and the undocumented immigration that he says is a violent threat to our nation when most people who they are deporting are not criminals and are simply here who are being rounded up. Two weekends ago, they rounded up 200 people just by stopping lawn care trucks in the neighborhood right near my own home. Is that who we see here in this country? Or is it that we want to make sure that we keep this country safe and that we can focus on America First to me means taking care of people at home and making life affordable when it comes to rent and healthcare and utilities and ensuring that they, that Americans can achieve the better life that they deserve, not have Trump go after people and waste millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars supporting people from this country.

SPEAKER_02:

There are a couple things there we have to unpack. Number one, it's the most bizarre statement I've ever heard. And I really want you to think about this. They, meaning ICE, picked up 200 illegal immigrants just by stopping lawn care trucks outside of her neighborhood. First of all, how many gardeners are going into your neighborhood? 200 gardeners? I can't imagine that every single gardener going into her neighborhood was illegal. And if they're stopping trucks, clearly they're not arresting every single person in the truck. So to me, that number just doesn't add up. I'm gonna have to see some receipts there. Second of all, to answer your question, are these the people that we want to be going after? No, they're not. They're not the people we want to go after. Nobody wants to go after these people. But unfortunately, the Obamas, the Bushes, the Uniparties of the 90s and the early 2000s allowed this crisis to happen, to continue to happen, floated things like amnesty, continued for it to happen. Everyone talked about the border, but Trump was the first person who's actually closed our border when he talked about the wall in his very first term. And he really started cracking down on immigration, understanding that illegal immigration affects all of us negatively, from healthcare to education to the economy, et cetera. We know that. Now, it is easier scientifically to tie this manufactured affordability crisis to illegal immigrants than it is to tie it to the cost of deporting them. Okay? How dare Debbie Wasserman Doodle Schwarz, Schultz, excuse me, how dare she try to tie deporting these people to the affordability crisis when really you're talking about spending hundreds of millions of dollars, you can't even get Americans' health care because you decided under Biden that anyone could become a parolee or an asylum seeker, essentially, if they wanted to. And you removed Trump's remain in Mexico policy. He had a very humane and successful policy in his first term that meant that if people were applying for asylum at our southern border, they had to stay in Mexico. We worked with the Mexican government to make that happen. Well, you got rid of that. So you said, come here. Oh, and by the way, start having kids so you can have anchor babies and American citizen voters that support the Democrats that have given them all these social services the same way that they've given social services to the real asylum seekers and real American citizens and taxpayers. So the argument is bizarre because if anyone's spending worthless amounts of money, it's them. But also, we know that everything that's given for free comes back as a raise or an increase or a tax or a fee or a fine to taxpayers and regular Americans. Rent, for example, is very, very expensive, especially in metropolitan blue areas. Why? Because much of the inventory has been taken into low-income programs. Some of the inventory has been taken specifically for illegal aliens. So that means that the inventory for people who are demanding regular market rate apartments is then smaller, which skyrockets the rents. Again, it's much easier to attack affordability and our price crisis that we have in areas like housing, fuel, and uh insurance, utilities, it's very easy to make the argument that actually the increase in illegal aliens has had way more impact on the rising prices and the economic strain that most Americans are feeling right now than any deportation efforts have. Not to mention this type of deportation effort has never happened before. So there's nothing to compare it to. But the cost of removing an illegal is much less than the cost of keeping an illegal here, housed, educated, fed, and the list goes on. The other thing that she says that I think is bizarre is talking about what she believes America First is. Well, again, here's a globalist, a socialist, a perm enthusiast who believes that America First has to do with focusing on American affordability. But where was American affordability in the Green New Deal? Where was American affordability in the Inflation Reduction Act? Everything that these people have put forth and passed have actually hooked American affordability. It's the green scams that have increased the utility costs by 10x in some states, in blue states. It's the gas taxes and all the special blends and all the crazy green initiatives that pushes gas per gallon over$5 in states like California. There is absolutely no evidence that can tie the cost of deportation to affordability. However, this is the Democrats' new scam. Once again, folks, the sky is falling. The sky is falling. We must go warn the king. That's what we've heard all year about tariffs, about deportation, about closing the border. And guess what? Tariffs, none of their predictions have come true. Deportations, none of their predictions have come true. Borders, in fact, their predictions have fallen flat, and the results are incredible. Crime, drugs, trafficking, all down across the board. So it's sick. They just find one thing that works and then take all their arguments. They did the same thing with the environment when some wrong think tank under Obama told them that climate change was a big focus and a big concern of Americans. Everything they did, they tied back to climate change and carbon. Now it's affordability. So you can see the scam taking place. I just need to point it out because it's very, very easy for someone sitting at home to go, yeah, that's right. It does cost us$100 million to get rid of these people. Let me tell you, folks, it costs us a lot more to keep them. And let's not, again, ignore what I've talked about since day one, which is the fact that the illegal immigration issue in this country has kept millions of Americans from earning their fair share in salary because the labor market has been watered down and tethered to the bottom earners, a huge base of bottom earners that are willing to come across the border and work for under minimum wage or below the poverty line. So not only does it impact our healthcare system, education system, et cetera, but it also affects our labor market and salaries, which directly impacts affordability as well. So for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, I just can't stand it. First of all, get a makeup artist. I mean, she looks so scary. And then she's got that hair and she lives in Florida. Can you imagine what that hair looks like in the middle of summer in Florida? She probably looks like blonde Shaka Khan. Crazy to me that someone with such low intelligence, but again, has the key Democrat quality, which is the ability to take anything they want, repackage it, change the words, and spin it over and over again, just like cooking pasta, throwing it against the wall until something sticks. Affordability, unfortunately, has stuck. It's going to take some time for the American people to understand how big Beautiful Bill and these tariffs and the sovereign uh investment fund that Trump's created for the country are all going to impact everyday Americans. It takes some time. However, in the meantime, this affordability scam seems to be working. Don't get fooled. Understanding that the cost of deportation is a fraction of the overall cost on everyday Americans of having millions of illegal aliens in the country that are using our services, uh, tethering down our salaries, and unfortunately, making things harder for everyone. Not to say that some illegals don't have value. They do have value, which is why I'm a huge proponent for legal immigration. And I'm not the biggest fan of the optics and some of these forcible deportations. But another lie that you'll hear is that most of these people are just everyday people. That's not true. That is not true. Some figures, anywhere from 25 to 42% of all the forcible deportations that they've done thus far this year, have had criminal records. Okay, other than crossing in illegally. Many of these people, around 20% of them, have already been kicked out before. These are repeat offenders. So when they talk about cost and use their affordability scam to try to deter you from the deportations that, like she said, are Trump's most popular issue, the border and immigration, because people are already feeling the effects, the positive effects that are coming from the illegal immigration. Wages are going up everywhere. Companies are now forced to lift up wages. Things are happening, and the Democrats can't stand it. So what are they gonna do? They're gonna find one thing that works and try to make it work for everything. Now, affordability is gonna be at the root of immigration, the environment, and everything else they talk about. Okay, but these issues haven't changed. It's the same leftist socialist propaganda, just in a cuter package that Americans seem to be digesting a little bit easier. Don't get caught into the trap. Don't let Wasserdoodle convince you that deporting these people is costly because it's nothing compared to the detrimental effects that mass illegal immigration can have on any society, any nation. I don't care what color, I don't care what country of origin, I don't care how long the country's been around, or how conservative or Democrat or Republican they are, open borders have never worked. And societies from the beginning of time have crumbled because of uncontrolled mass immigration into their borders or into their populations. We have to be diligent. It's not fun, it doesn't look pretty, and it sucks for those that have to get arrested and put back into their home countries of origin. But it's what we have to do to maintain the success and the progress of our country going forward. It's also what we have to do to make sure that leftists and globalists don't get to import millions of their own new voters to support their policies that are largely unpopular with regular, everyday American folks like you and me. All right, folks, I'm out of time, but in the meantime, we'll talk about Iran, the visa revocation of the anti-free speech dozen in the EU, and have wacky Wednesday all when we're back. In the meantime, let me remind you of what Reagan once said. I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers. Go ahead, make my day. Wow. Isn't that interesting? Somebody was actually able to stand up to tax increasers. As states like California, Washington, and Oregon start weighing in wealth levies on billionaires, Reagan knew. Taxing your way never. God bless you, President Reagan, and God save America.
