Forbes Breaking News

Transcript

00:00Obviously huge last November.

00:02Yeah, and the theme of what we're talking about is fulfilling the mandate,

00:05especially for the younger voters in this audience.

00:09Last week, the One Big Beautiful Bill was finally passed and signed into law.

00:13And one of the components of the One Big Beautiful Bill,

00:17the most important, is fully funding ICE, fully funding the deportation effort.

00:23What would your perspective be?

00:25Your father has said no amnesty under any circumstances whatsoever.

00:30Talk about the need for mass deportations

00:33and how we will not put up with any amnesty whatsoever.

00:36Listen, it's so fundamentally critical.

00:38I mean, it was really the number one issue we all campaigned on.

00:42We see what it happened, what it did to so much of America,

00:46what it did to so many communities,

00:47and honestly, what it did to so many of the low-income communities in this country

00:51where people were just sweeping those jobs

00:53and ultimately everyone's potential American dream was getting wiped away.

00:58And so the Big Beautiful Bill, the funding of the wall,

01:02the funding of ICE is so fundamentally important

01:06to actually getting these things done, right?

01:08We saw what we could do about just the border itself,

01:11but now you have 20 million people probably.

01:14I imagine they don't even know.

01:16Just getting in there, they're getting all the benefits.

01:19You know, the benefits that you guys pay for for yourselves,

01:22that your parents probably paid for for all of you guys,

01:25and they get that with no contribution to the system.

01:28And that was by design under the Biden administration.

01:32So to have the funding to, A, start the mass deportations,

01:36but more importantly, the parts of the bill that literally cut off all of the freebies

01:41that were just draining our coffers,

01:44but more importantly, were a calling card to the rest of the world.

01:48Be like, you know, come here, we'll give you everything.

01:50You know, the health care that you got gets diluted

01:53because you get to pay for thousands of others,

01:55millions of others, tens of millions of others,

01:58who will likely never even pay into the system.

02:00It doesn't work.

02:01It doesn't work in any other country,

02:03and there's a reason no other country was doing it.

02:05So, you know, that was a fundamental aspect of the Big Beautiful Bill

02:09to now actually have the funding to do this.

02:11And it was sort of amazing to me how much even reluctance there was

02:16from so many, you know, allegedly on our side,

02:19who said, well, it's just controversial.

02:21You're going to have to deport someone.

02:23You know, listen, there's going to be good people that this happens to, too,

02:26but there are millions of criminals.

02:28And this is Joe Biden's eyes.

02:30I mean, when I saw the statistics,

02:31I literally couldn't believe that a civilization could survive

02:36when, you know, our Western values, our culture,

02:40the civilization itself, when they literally admitted,

02:44and, you know, this is Biden's eyes stats,

02:45so this is probably diluted a lot,

02:47but 600,000 criminals, 13,000 murderers.

02:52I mean, think about that.

02:5313,000 murderers were let into the country.

02:56They knew they were murderers, and they let them into the country.

02:5916,000 rapists.

03:02Okay, add those together.

03:04You got, what, 30,000, let's call it, 30,000 murderers and rapists.

03:07There's about 4,000 counties in America.

03:10Imagine you spread them out, you know, evenly throughout that.

03:14Yeah, we'll throw seven murderers or rapists into every county in America.

03:19How's that going to work?

03:21What's the end game there?

03:22And that's what was going on.

03:23The end game is Lake and Riley.

03:26And the end game is Rachel Morin,

03:27which is dead people all across the country because of the open border.

03:31Yeah.

03:31So, you know, that has to stop.

03:34They got to get rid of that.

03:35And they have to also do a lot more,

03:38because they have to enable the Americans to have a chance.

03:41We have to be able to innovate, grow,

03:43be productive enough to create the wages necessary in a lot of these businesses

03:47that Americans will actually work there.

03:49We've seen what happens when some of these places,

03:51oh, it's going to be a disaster.

03:52Oh, wow, there's a line of Americans ready to do some of these jobs.

03:56You know, a big part of it was also, you know,

04:00from the corporate tax cut standpoint, right?

04:02That's great.

04:03I mean, I'm a business guy.

04:04I love the corporate tax cuts.

04:06But I think what was really unique about the BBB

04:09was how much time, energy, and political capital

04:13my father put into making sure those tax cuts

04:17translate down to working-class Americans.

04:20Okay, when you have the no tax on tips,

04:24all of these ideas,

04:26they're going to benefit Americans so greatly.

04:28The original tax plan from the first administration,

04:32it did just that.

04:33Everyone said, oh, it's just corporate, it's just corporate.

04:34But I think the stats were, like, close to 90% of Americans,

04:38like regular people,

04:40got thousands and thousands of dollars in real benefits to them.

04:44And that's the idea.

04:45I mean, his fundamental purpose is to make sure that those real Americans,

04:49the hard-working Americans who've seen their wages diminished with inflation,

04:53we're getting that under control too,

04:55but that were really struggling for the last few years,

04:58actually get to see the benefits of these cuts.

05:01And again, it's one of those things where my father had to go way out of his way

05:05because, you know, the Republican class,

05:06well, we're going to do it for corporations

05:07and maybe some of that will trickle down.

05:09No.

05:10You know, it's going to be about the Americans,

05:13about getting them the most benefit out of this.

05:15And that's how everyone wins.

05:16And so this last...
