Hey, good morning. You're on Vince. Great to have you with us today. We got a big show ahead, including a bunch of really important classified information that is now being released. A shocker dropped yesterday in a big cabinet meeting with the president of the United States by the head of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. We will get to that. It's Friday. The dog is in the house. I've got Major standing by. He's just sleeping right now.

Right behind me. It is always so great to have you with us. Great to have you with us live. Rumble.com slash Vince. If you're listening to this podcast, check in every so often on the Rumble stream. It's great. We have a great time here. Great to talk to the chat. And we've got a really big show ahead of us, including on the issue of illegal immigration, all the fights the Trump administration is undertaking, all the victories that we're having this week.

It's been a good week. We've got a good show. It's all ahead on Vince. Can't wait to get started here with you. But first, I have to tell you about one of our great sponsors. Tariffs have thrown the economy into some chaos, as you've seen, and potential widespread inflation tied to massive supply chain disruptions has been weighing heavily on everybody.

But there is a silver lining that a lot of people have missed. You know, President Trump specifically exempted gold and silver bullion from these sweeping tariffs. While these new policies are triggering significant financial chaos, the administration preserved your ability to diversify into precious metals.

Well, again, happy Friday to everybody. Great to have you with us. How's the chat feeling this morning? It was, I saw Evita just had a fantastic conversation with Natalie Winters over on her great program that she does every morning alive at, at 9am right here on Rumble doing that live. Great conversation and great to see you guys here. People saying happy Friday in the chat. Good morning. Love this. Love this. Hey guys, I,

I think that there was some big news yesterday, Thursday, that really didn't get the attention that it deserved. The president has been holding these regular cabinet meetings where he brings in the video cameras and shows his entire cabinet assembled around him and then goes person by person, agency by agency, and gets them to give status reports to the American people on what is happening, what they're working on, and how they're trying to pursue the agenda that President Trump was elected on.

It's an amazing change of pace because this administration is doing exactly what the last administration did him.

Joe Biden never held cabinet meetings. I think in his entire presidency, I believe he had two cabinet meetings and that's without cameras. That's just sitting in the cabinet room, which is about 20 feet from the Oval Office. And Joe Biden didn't assemble the cabinet. Remember the reports out of the Biden administration were that cabinet level officials didn't even speak to Joe Biden. They couldn't get through to him. They couldn't place phone calls to the president of the United States. Imagine. And so now-

With a different president comes a different era. And President Trump is not only having cabinet meetings, but he's televising them for your consumption. And they're actually really interesting for a million different reasons. RFK Jr. was there yesterday talking about his fight against chronic disease. He's doing research into autism in particular and why we've seen skyrocketing rates of that. He intends to release some of that data, he says, by September 30th.

Additionally, people like Elon Musk in the room talking about the spending cut priorities of Doge. They're cutting, what, $4 billion a day in all sorts of out-of-control fraudulent spending. They've discovered millions of people, 5.5 million illegal aliens who've been given social security numbers over the course of the Biden administration.

A total scandal, a total outrage, and people should be arrested and prosecuted for all of this. But really nice to get these status reports from these agency officials. But the one agency official who reported yesterday, who I think had the jaw-dropping news of the day, and it hasn't received anywhere near the attention it merits, is the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard has been assigned with declassifying national

massive troves of information. We've already seen gigantic releases of the JFK files. Those files reveal just how much the government did know that there was an incoming assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy. They didn't stop it. It happened. And of course, JFK ever since then has been the source of so many conspiracy theories as to who killed him and how and why. And we're getting more of the lines colored in now, thanks to the Trump administration releasing that information.

We are expecting more releases about assassinations. I'll play some video for you on that in just a moment. But here is the big screaming lead, as in the big,

big item that everybody needs to know about. Here's Tulsi Gabbard talking about our election system, saying that these electronic voting machines, she's discovered classified information inside of the federal government showing that they are very vulnerable to manipulation. Take a look. I've got a long list of things that we're investigating. We have the best of the best going after this.

election integrity being one of them. We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.

We have classified information. This is stuff that the government has kept from you until now about how election machines in the United States of America are indeed vulnerable to vote manipulation. What were the counter arguments when people started raising this in 2020 to say, hey, what's the deal? These voter machines –

How susceptible are they to vote manipulation or people outright believing that there's straight up vote manipulation going on? One of the reactions to it is like, oh, no, these machines are not connected to the Internet. There's no way that that could possibly happen. That's that would never happen. This everything's on the up and up. It's a totally clean system. It's impervious to that kind of hacking and manipulation. What Tulsi Gabbard is conveying is the government knew that that was complete horse crap.

complete. The federal government knew that. They had classified information indicating that these machines were vulnerable to these types of intrusions. And so Tulsi is saying that in this effort, one of the legs of her obligations from the moment she was announced in this job, from the moment President Trump picked her to do this job, not only is she trying to gather the most important intelligence and present it to the president of the United States, which is her job,

She's also trying to defang the weaponization of the intel community, to declassify information about its abuses and to release it to the rest of us. This is information that you and I own. We are entitled to this. And classification has been used not as a means of protecting the American people. It's been used as a means to protect the government's interests from the American people.

And that has to change. So Tulsi Gabbard, who I talked to Mike Benz earlier this week on the radio show. And when I when I had a conversation with the great Mike Benz about all of this, he's got he's got great insight into the way the Intel committee community operates, the way it manipulates definitely foreign countries, but also domestically our own citizens.

I asked him about Tulsi Gabbard. I said, what do you think of her tenure here? What do you think of the task forces she's been launching? This week she launched a task force that's dedicated to digging up all these abuses. In fact, the acronym is DIG, D-I-G, which is great. I said, do you like this? You happy with Tulsi? He loves Tulsi. He thinks she's the exact right woman for the job.

And I do, too. You know, Tulsi Gabbard is one of these people like President Trump, like RFK Jr., like Kash Patel, like General Flynn, like you can. The list keeps on going on Carter Page. One of these people who has felt the business end of the government's tyranny. Tulsi Gabbard was being tracked on airplanes as a terrorist by the so-called Quiet Skies program, where she had air marshals covertly tracking her traffic.

That's the way they treated Tulsi Gabbard. She is a victim of this government's tyranny. And who was out to get Tulsi? Well, obviously, the forces within the government who were trying to take her down. But it was specifically the Democrats as a party who wanted to take her down. Hillary Clinton considered her to be a Russian stooge merely because she did what? She called out Hillary Clinton during a Democrat primary?

That's insanity. But it's par for the course for Hillary Clinton. And as you've seen, especially with the Clintons, when the Clintons don't like someone, they lean on their contacts inside of the federal government to destroy them, to destroy them. What do you think the whole Trump-Russia collusion thing was? The Trump-Russia collusion story emanated out of the Hillary Clinton campaign taking control of all of the levers of the federal government in order to try to destroy her political opponent.

That's as simple as that. And they laundered it through a bunch of different places. Hillary Clinton decides she wants to take down Trump. So they go, they hire their campaign attorney, Mark Elias, who goes to Fusion GPS, who goes to Christopher Steele. They concoct an entire array of horse crap about President Trump. They make up everything about him and they use it to try and stop his candidacy and subsequently to paralyze his presidency.

Those are the abuses of the federal government. Those are the abuses at the behest of Hillary Clinton, who, by the way, should be in jail for that behavior. And so here we have a woman who's been victimized, Tulsi Gabbard, by the very same forces, by the very same operations. And she's in charge of the intel community. I love that. And so the update yesterday, and I am very eager for this. We have to just wait to see what comes out here from Tulsi Gabbard. But she says she has information about the vulnerability of electronic voting machines.

That needs to come out because these votes, she's being really clear, can be manipulated, i.e. rigged, i.e. switched. That matters a great deal. So the American people need some confidence here. We need some transparency. We need a real airing out of everything that has happened in the past. And we need to get to some sanity. We have to get to credible elections. Look, at the beginning of this century, there was a commission. It was called the Carter Baker Commission.

Baker was the Republican and Carter was Jimmy Carter, the Democrat. And the Carter-Baker commission, their job was to look into voting in the United States of America, voting. How do we make it more secure? How do we make it more believable? Do you know what the findings of that commission were? It was straightforward. We need voter ID. We need paper ballots. We don't need mail-in ballots, as few mail-in ballots as possible because mail-in ballots are the most vulnerable to fraud.

That's what Jimmy Carter said. That was earlier this very century. Well, Jimmy Carter's gone now. Of course, Hillary Clinton saw to that. So there's no one to speak up on the left for election integrity anymore. Yeah. Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat. But in order to tell the truth, apparently you have to be a Republican, which she is now.

And she's the head of the intelligence community, the director of national intelligence. So so the election integrity stuff I'm waiting for and I'm eager for. I'm really glad to hear from her. Really glad to hear from her. Let me get to another part of what she said yesterday. She was talking about the assassinations of RFK senior and Martin Luther King Jr. Recall that President Trump wants all of these files declassified. Here's Tulsi Gabbard with the update.

And lastly, we've been scanning. I've had over 100 people working around the clock to scan the paper around RFK, Senator Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. These have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades. They have never been scanned or seen before. We'll have those ready to release here within the next few days.

That's great. Bobby, how do you feel about that? I'm very gratified. That's hitting close to home, isn't it? When you think, I'm thinking about Bobby when that statement's made. I'm very grateful to you, Mr. President. Yeah. What a weird circumstance, isn't it? That RFK Jr. is in the room as he hears from Tulsa Gabbard, yeah, we're releasing all of the files on your father's assassination.

Amazing. Really useful. Useful. I like the transparency. This is what we want. And there's really no question at this point, is there, that the Trump presidency in both of its forms has been the most transparent administration we've ever had? Definitely true. You know, the JFK files, it goes all the way back to the early 90s that the federal government was required by law to release the JFK files. And yet it didn't. With president after president after president refusing to release the files,

Until now. Now, are all of the files on JFK released? I don't think so. I think there's a lot more that could be released. And my sincere hope and suspicion is that Tulsi Gabbard is trying to get to the bottom of that. She did say earlier this week that she's encountered officials inside of the federal government who have been resisting her efforts to declassify. This is what she said on the Fox News channel earlier this week. Take a look at this.

The more we dig, the more we find. And we see how people are sometimes in some cases resistant to providing us with those documents. In other cases, they have been hidden with the hopes that no one would ever find them. We've encountered officials who've been resistant to giving us those documents. In other cases, they've been hidden with the hope that nobody would ever find them.

Well, I know exactly what you're thinking. If the person if people are resisting lawful orders, people are resisting doing the the will of the president of the United States as laid out in executive orders. This is not just Tulsi Gabbard saying this, but that would be good enough. The president of the United States has declassified these documents and said, give them up. And what Tulsi is describing is deep state resistance that continues into this very day.

that there are people trying to subvert the president's agenda inside of the administration. Now, we've seen this play out any number of ways over the course of just these first few months of the Trump administration already. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that we had a New York Times report that the CIA was spying on the cartels via drones in Mexico. How does a report like that get out? The Trump administration wouldn't release that. They wouldn't

give up a classified program to surveil the people who are involved in killing Americans. No, that gets leaked by someone who's trying to subvert the president's agenda to stop us from spying on the cartels. In fact, it kind of makes me feel like whoever leaked that is actually owned by the cartels, bought and paid for. If you're going to leak that kind of information to jeopardize an operation designed to track the people who are killing Americans, that's been released.

We saw another iteration of this this past week just on the bizarre attacks on Dan Bongino for having a security detail assigned to him, quite obviously because the threats to him are so great that the deputy director needs a security detail that reportedly goes beyond what they normally get. Well, that makes a lot of sense. He's high profile. The left is out for blood. As you know, 55 percent of lefties think it's perfectly fine to assassinate the president of the United States.

just under a majority think it'd be perfectly fine to assassinate Elon Musk. What do you think they think about Dan Bongino? So where do these reports come from? If not, of course, these outlets are saying that they're officials who are inside of the government now who've given them that information. Those are deep state rats who are doing that. We're trying to subvert the agenda. And so what Tulsi is describing here

is that she's encountering resistance from inside of the intel community to give up documents that the president has ordered to be released. And that there's been an effort to hide documents, to keep them out of sight of the American people. So here's what I wanna say. First and foremost, firings, obviously. But I also wanna see prosecutions. If you are running afoul of the law, if you're screwing over the American people, if you're violating your oath of office,

You should be held accountable to the full extent of whatever the laws are that surround that because it's enough. We have to send a warning message, don't we? We have to send some big warning shots to anybody else who thinks that they can enter the government and subvert the will of the American people. You cannot. And that's why accountability is so important. It's not just to hold the bad actors who've already done the bad things accountable. It's a deterrent. It's designed to prevent other people from becoming bad actors and from working against the American people.

So some important announcements this week from Tulsi Gabbard. Really appreciate her efforts here. Let's see. The chat is agreeing here. Bahama coconuts. Great name, by the way. Makes me ready for the weekend. Let's see some arrests. Totally agree, says Dallas Babe 22. Yeah, treason is treason, says Jana.

So we've got a lot of really big, good reactions coming in here. Mr. Hankey, the talking poo, South Park reference, says, that's right, accountability. And yes, prosecute them, says Ezra Bett. So you're with me. You want to see accountability here. Now, before we get to thanking our sponsors again this hour to make all of this content free, do you also want to see Major? Let me see if we can take a look. If Major is activated by all of this. Major, how are we feeling?

Major is going to be, he's going to sleep until we get accountability. He's like, wake me up when somebody gets arrested.

So that's the Major Cam this hour. Hilarious. Thanks, Major. Thanks for your involvement in the show. He's very excited today. Hey, let me give a couple of thank yous to the great sponsors behind this program. I genuinely, genuinely appreciate these guys. They're people who love America.

Say hello. Poor guy. I know. You're probably angry at me that I woke him up. Come here. Come here. Say hello, buddy. There he is.

Major is a good boy. All right. Back into the content. I know. I know. All right. So we've got some revelations from the Intel community. Now I want to get into the left's efforts to try and get rid of all of this change. You know, a guy called Al Green. You familiar with him? No, not the singer. That's that's the good Al Green. That's the Al Green that I like. He's the better one. No, the congressman, Al Green, a complete lunatic.

who, you know, for years has really tried to achieve what Jasmine Crockett has achieved, which is to be so theatrically stupid that everyone talks about their stupidity. Al Green, he's a lot lower on the totem pole. He just, for whatever reason, he doesn't know how to get a message across. He doesn't know how to captivate everybody's attention. But he keeps hitting the same old sheet of music,

Al Green this week has announced yet again that he wants to impeach the president of the United States. Why? It doesn't matter. Here's cut to Al Green announcing impeachment for Trump. Impeachment is imminent. The filing of articles of impeachment is imminent. We are currently in a countdown to impeachment. No, we're not. Now, those who know me

know that I wouldn't say this if I were not going to move on with it. So I don't know what you have up your sleeve, but I do know that we will prevent you from having a third term. And the best way to do it is to not have you finish this term. And the best way to do this is to have you impeached

and convicted and removed from office. It can be done. I'm telling you it can be done. The law says it can be done. We but only have to have the will to do it. The way is before us. The will is what is necessary to implement the way to an impeachment and a removal of Donald John Trump as president of the United States of America.

You know, this guy is like is such a lunatic for any number of reasons. One, do you see the do you see how he's waving his cane in the photo? That was from the president's joint address to Congress. That's where the the sergeant at arms had to eject Al Green for disrupting the speech and refusing to sit his dumb rear end back down in his seat.

He's waving his cane around. The Sergeant arms removes him. The house censured him for that. So the only person who's really going to face house consequences is Al Green for his insane behavior. He's been censured for that. Also impeach him for what exactly? Earlier this year, Al Green announced that he wanted to impeach Trump for dastardly deeds, dastardly deeds, which is hilarious. And it kind of makes me wish the founders put dastardly deeds aside.

into the constitution, because that would have been a really funny line to read whenever we talked about this subject. But no, you can't be impeached for dastardly deeds. And he doesn't even describe what those deeds are. He doesn't feel like he has to. I don't like him. Therefore, he needs to be thrown out of office. That's the position of Al Green here. And this is, of course, as you know, not the first time he's attempted to impeach the president of the United States. How about a nice little trip down memory lane? Every time President Trump has, well, done

done a year in office, Al Green has attempted to impeach him. Watch. The form of the resolution is as follows. Articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America. 2017, his first year. The form of the resolution is as follows. Resolution impeaching

Donald John Trump. He talks slow. President of the United States. He's reading it. Of high misdemeanors. He's having trouble reading it. The form of the resolution is as follows. The third year in a row. Impeaching Donald John Trump, president of the United States of high misdemeanors. Amazing. Just amazing. So how's that going, Al Green?

And remember like when they finally were able to push forward a couple of impeachments against Trump that Al Green wasn't given the job of leading the operation. Even the left thinks he's ridiculous. Like, like the moment of impeachment has arrived. Okay. Let's send out our impeachment guy. No, no, no, no. Let's keep out green back. That guy's an idiot. He's going to ruin everything. Leave out green behind, which they did. And so there's Al Green yet again, trying to sing from the same sheet of music that never works for him ever.

Amazing. 20sunflower73 saying, yeah, he was tossed out for his behavior. I don't like Representative Al Green. Yeah. Helene, I love how people want to impeach President Trump. Why? Because he's putting America and Americans first? Because he's cutting waste? Because he's holding other countries accountable? Well, yeah. Look, what do the Democrats not like about Trump? The thing they don't like about Trump is that he exposes them for how rigged the game has been for their benefit. It's as simple as that.

They hate that Trump has exposed the corruption of Washington, that he's changing the status quo, that he's breaking the globalists, that he's raiding USAID, ending that ridiculous scheme, that slush fund that was only designed to advance the interests of the left. This is what they hate. They hate the operations that have enriched them, the type of stuff that has enriched Nancy Pelosi through the years.

has is now being scrutinized. So they got to get rid of him. But really can't have him doing that. So it's pretty great. Pretty great. Seeing all that. So Al Green, what a goon that dude is once again trying to impeach Trump fecklessly waving around a cane on the House floor. What a loser. All right. That's the that's the update on the latest to impeach President Trump. Now I want to get into some of the more some of the reasons why they want to impeach him beyond just finding their slush funds.

Also, the left's goals with immigration, the open borders that we've had in our country, have quite obviously been to change the composition of the electorate and to rig the number of human bodies who are in the country so that they can add more congressional seats with every successive census. They haven't been shy about admitting this. They've said for years that they need to do this.

And so they've been doing it. They did it a lot under Joe Biden as we had many, many millions of illegal foreign nationals come into the country. Many, many, many, many millions. And so President Trump is turning all of that around. And this week we have a couple of really, really big announcements on that subject, including the fact that we have now thousands of illegal aliens who are self-deporting from the United States.

They're so worried about the heat that Tom Holman and Kristi Noem and President Trump are bringing to illegals who are in the country. They're self-deporting now. They're self-deporting so efficiently, they're notifying the federal government of their self-deportations.

I'll give you all the details on that in just a moment and all of the new developments on securing America's borders. I've got great news to finish the week with you in just a moment.

Our border. Let's talk about our border and what's happening here. We've got some very good updates. Majors, once again, sleeping. We've got some very good updates on the border here. Self-deportations are exploding.

The report that has just come out from the Trump administration is that thousands of illegals are now self-deporting from the United States of America voluntarily. Now, these there have been a lot of self-deportations that go unrecorded. The New York Times has been reporting on those. But take a look at this. This is a.

This is some, this is an update from Fox. Thousands leave country voluntarily amid Trump self-deport push, DHS says. And the reason they know that is because remember the president of the United States repurposed the CBP one app. It is now the CBP home app. That was the app that the, the Biden administration was using to import illegals into the country.

saying, well, just enter on this app that you want to come in and then we'll get you in. It was kind of like Uber for illegals, a taxpayer expense.

And the Trump administration said, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. Wait a second here. Let's flip this around. We'll keep the app. We'll just make it so that if you want to get out of the country, here's how you do it. You use the app now and you can self-deport. And if you do it that way, maybe just maybe someday you might be possibly permitted an opportunity to come back to the United States. But if you don't, if we catch you and we deport you,

Well, we're going to forbid you from coming back forever. Take a look. This is when President Trump announced that there's an app for this. Cut one. Here's President Trump announcing just a few short weeks ago that there's an app to self-deport, he very cheerfully told illegal aliens. People in our country illegally can self-deport the easy way or they can get deported the hard way, and that's not pleasant. The Biden administration exploited the CBP1 app

to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States. Now my administration is launching the CBP Home app to give people in our country illegally an easy way to leave now and self-deport voluntarily. Amazing. If they do, they could potentially have the opportunity to return legally at some point in the future. Maybe.

But if they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found, they will be deported, and they will never be admitted again to the United States ever, ever again. You're never coming in. You're never coming in. Using the CBP Home app to leave the United States voluntarily is the safest option for illegal aliens or law enforcement. It also saves the U.S. taxpayer dollars and valuable CBP and ICE resources. That's right.

And all of those resources are necessary to focus on dangerous criminal aliens. And that's what we're focused on. All right, thanks, guys. This is perfect. The CBP Home app is now available free of cost. Thank you. That's perfect. No, the message well received. And the president laying out, look, it costs a lot of money.

For us to round everybody up, it costs a lot of money and manpower. And actually, it's also unsafe because the more raids we have to do, the more we imperil the men and women that we assigned to do that. So let's not do that. Let's let's get rid of that problem. How about you just deport yourself at your own expense and you register on the CBP home app? And then maybe we'll give you this little incentive. Here's a little carrot for you that maybe you can come back someday.

Now, preferably, I hope they don't come back. I hope this is just the Trump administration coming up with an art of the deal style arrangement and saying, hey, yeah, you can get out. You can get out. But don't you love President Trump saying we can do this the easy way or the hard way? Every time I hear that phrase, it reminds me of Back to the Future. Remember this scene? No! Hey, hey, wait, you come with us upstairs. There we go, Sonny. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Yeah, that was the easy way. The easy way. That's really funny. All right. So that's that was the president's announcement. Since then, the update is now that at least 5000 people, a little over 5000 people have begun doing this. They got the app. They heard the president's message and they said, OK, I'm in. I'm in. I don't want the heat. Let me sign up for this thing. So the self deportations are occurring now.

They come as the Trump administration has ramped up this messaging campaign aimed at encouraging illegals to leave the country voluntarily.

Most recently releasing a flyer addressed to illegal aliens, which is, by the way, the legal term for foreign nationals who are here illegally, that threatens new fines for those who choose to remain in the United States despite a deportation order. You got that part? They are threatening new fines for those who choose to remain in the U.S. despite a deportation order. Let's address that component now.

We've got another piece here to incentivize getting out of the country. This week, the Trump administration has announced they will administer fines of just under $1,000 per day to illegals who stay in the country illegally. Fox's report here, the Trump administration plans to begin fining illegals

subject to a deportation order, $998 a day if they don't leave the United States. Illegal aliens should use the CBP Home app, they're saying at DHS, and leave the country now. If they don't, they will face the consequences. This includes a fine of $998 a day for overstaying your final deportation order.

This is based on a 1996 law. I want people to pay attention to this because there's a lot of misinformation going on from the legacy press right now. And I know that the instinct is like, I don't believe the legacy press anyway. That's fine. But there are people out there who do. There are people who are still being duped by the legacy media. And I want you to be equipped with the weapons to fight back here. There is a 1996 law that was not enforced until President Trump's first term.

which says that you have to apply these fines to illegals who continue to stay in the country beyond their deportation orders. The administration plans to apply these penalties retroactively to illegals up to five years, resulting in fines of more than a million dollars, an administration official told Reuters, the first to report on the fines. The administration could also seize property from illegals who fail to pay the penalty, the report notes.

Fox News has obtained a flyer that shows the benefits and consequences for illegals who fail to self-deport. They say self-deportation is safe. You can leave on your own terms. Pick your departure flight. Get out is the message here. Other benefits of self-deporting include allowing non-criminal illegals to keep money that they earned in the United States and allowing illegals to maintain eligibility possibly for potential future legal immigration.

While some illegals may even be eligible for subsidized flights if they have trouble affording a ticket. Can't afford one? One will be provided to you. Meanwhile, the consequences section of the flyer warns that anybody who fails to self-deport will be apprehended by DHS with no opportunity to get your affairs in order beforehand. So do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?

So this is good. This is good news. You've got the Trump administration saying, we're going to use the law here, the law that's available to us to do this. And then we've got another piece here on what the Trump administration is doing and how they're tracking these illegals. The Trump administration just won a huge case yesterday in front of a federal judge, a judge called Trevor Neal McFadden.

And this allows the Trump administration, the judge said, yes, it is legal for the Trump administration under the law to force illegal aliens who are in the country to register with the federal government, to force them to register with the federal government so we know who they are and where they are. Look at this. The Trump administration was handed another win on Thursday after a federal judge ruled that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government and carry documentation.

Well, sure. Let me emphasize an important detail here. Every American citizen is registered with the U.S. government. It's called your social security number. You are registered as being a citizen of the United States by the United States federal government.

So this I've already seen some lefties saying that this is like Nazi Germany stuff. Oh, we're going to force illegals to register. You psychos. Americans are registered with the federal government.

Illegals who shouldn't be here, we should know who's here. So whatever we can do to compel them to comply here, we should do. Now, does that mean that these illegals are all of a sudden gonna pop up and say, oh, I'm gonna register? No, probably not, probably not. But it is within the federal government's right to attempt to compel that for the purposes of ejecting them from the country. This is great news. It is entirely consistent with what we're asking President Trump to do.

The Associated Press reported that Trevor Neal McFadden, he's the judge. Fox says he was appointed by President Trump, which means he's not a psycho, hopefully. Sided with the administration after arguing it was enforcing an existing requirement, an existing requirement for everybody in the country who is not a citizen of the United States.

Rather than rule on the substance of the Trump administration's arguments, McFadden ruled that the group pushing to stop the requirement didn't even have standing to pursue their claims. McFadden's ruling will go into effect today, meaning it's in effect today, Friday. The Department of Homeland Security said Thursday the deadline to register for anybody who's been in the country for 30 days or more is today, adding that the registration requirement will be enforced to the fullest. Here's what Kristi Noem said on the subject.

President Trump and I have a clear message for those in our country illegally. Leave now. If you leave, you might have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom. The Trump administration will enforce all of our immigration laws. We will not pick and choose which laws we enforce. They said the DHS began warning illegals already in February. They've got to get out of the country or face serious consequences. They're enforcing the Immigration and Nationality Act, of course, started in 1952.

And the tools that that act created included criminal penalties for illegals who choose not to leave the United States, fail to register with the federal government and get fingerprinted, and fail to notify the federal government of changes to their address.

Illegals who failed to depart the United States will be charged with a crime resulting in a significant penalty, DHS says. All right, so again, just to be clear about the counterpoint to the left's lies today on this subject, this is not Nazi Germany. This is protecting the United States of America from people who are invading it. It is enforcing the law.

And the Immigration and Nationality Act included tools for DHS that said you need to leave the U.S. or else face penalties. You need to register with the federal government here and you need to get fingerprinted. And you have to notify the federal government if you attempt to change your address in the United States. That's all under the law. This isn't arbitrary. This is real. This is the law. And the left is, once again, lying about it, lying about it to your face.

Here's another thing they're lying about. You see what the Supreme Court did in the last 24 hours? There was a 9-0 decision that the media are absolutely crowing about. This involves the case of the MS-13 gangster that

that the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Now we've talked about the contours of this case a bunch of times, but the really simple CliffsNotes version are that you have a guy here where all signs point that he's MS-13. He's definitely an illegal alien in the country. He's definitely a Salvadoran. So sending a Salvadoran to El Salvador, well, that's exactly what you want. But at some point he filed for a protective status

From the federal government, from the Biden administration, and he was granted a protective status on the basis of the idea that a rival gang back in El Salvador might hurt him if he was returned to his home country and home community. That would be the 18th Street gang, rivals of MS-13 in El Salvador. So so the federal government said, OK, we'll protect you from this deportation for that reason.

which I think is a terrible decision for a bunch of reasons. But regardless, that protection existed. So when he was deported from the United States and sent to that prison in El Salvador, the only thing the Trump administration came out and gave him me a cop on is, oh, our bad. We didn't realize he had that protection. But it's too late. He's in the hands of the Salvadorans. That's his home country. It's up to El Salvador with what to do with him now. That was that's that's the summary of the whole story.

Well, the left has been fighting to get the MS-13 guy back into the country. And the Trump administration is saying, yeah, no, we're not invading El Salvador to retrieve an MS-13 guy and bring him back. He can stay there and you can shove it. That's been the position of the Trump administration. And so yesterday, the Supreme Court ruling on this

They here's how let me just share with you the way the way CNN is presenting this, because they're misleading their audience. And a lot of the left has just been straight up misleading the audience today. They say Supreme Court says Trump must facilitate return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador. Now, of course, they're saying they're calling him a man. Some of these headlines call him Maryland father. That's the most sympathetic possible presentations here.

But here's what the headline doesn't tell you. The lead kind of begins to tell you what's going on. The Supreme Court on Thursday required President Trump's administration to, quote, facilitate the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, but stopped short of requiring the government to return him to the United States. So here's the distinction that the press by and large doesn't want to spend a lot of time dwelling on.

You've seen just in the last few hours a ton of headlines insisting the idea here is that Trump has to bring him back. No, no, no, no, no. That's not what they said.

No. You think Clarence Thomas really you think Justice Clarence Thomas is going to be on the side of, oh, yes, that we've got to bring an MS-13 guy back, that the law says that no way in hell is that the way it came down. Now, what actually happened is the court said that you must facilitate it if it occurs. If El Salvador decides, hey, we're going to send this guy back to the United States of America.

The United States has to be open to receiving the MS-13 guy by virtue of the law. That's it. That's the ruling from the Supreme Court yesterday. What they further went on to say in the 9-0 decision is that the federal government doesn't have to, quote, effectuate that, meaning it doesn't have to make it happen, compel it to happen. The United States has no obligation to say, give us back the MS-13 guy.

All they're saying is, hey, in the event that that occurs, would you make it a smooth transition, please? That's it from the Supreme Court. So dramatic overstatement today from the media that the United States Supreme Court is trying to bring an MS-13 guy back. It's bullcrap. It's not real. It's not real at all. It's that –

If it occurs, you've got to deal with it. That's it. But you don't have to compel these guys to do anything. In fact, the judge involved in this case, who tried to foresolve this, was a U.S. district judge, Paula Zinnis, out of the Northern District of California.

was trying to take control of the federal government's behavior as it deals with these sensitive foreign policy discussions. This is exactly where a judge should keep her big fat face out of the subject. It's not her business. It's the business of the executive branch. It's the business of the president of the United States.

So that's a really, really good development. The Supreme Court's saying, yeah, this guy doesn't have to come back, but if he does, you're going to have to deal with that problem if it arrives. But a 9-0 decision that President Trump can definitely look at and say, okay, good, I'm glad that stupid saga is over. We're going to have to bring this guy back.

It is amazing. Isn't it amazing, though, how instantly this stuff gets distorted? The press takes it, they jam it through a distortion filter, and then they deliver it to you, and then they're just lying brazenly to your face. That's about as typical as it possibly gets. All right, let me see here. I've got, oh, this is fantastic. I've got another one for you on the border. Check this out. All right, so here's a story for you. There's a man in North Texas. His name's Robert Wilson King.

And he has threatened to shoot and kill ICE agents. This man threatened to shoot and kill ICE agents. Take a look at this. This is from the federal government. This is from the U.S. attorney's office from the Northern District of Texas earlier this week, who say that this man has now been arrested and charged for his threats to kill ICE agents. I'm going to show you some of the posts here.

A North Texas man who threatened to shoot and kill ICE agents was arrested and charged in federal court, according to the acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas called Chad Meacham. Robert Wilson King is 35 years old. He was just charged the beginning of April, April 3rd, for transmitting an interstate threat. King making his initial appearance this week on Monday, and he had a detention hearing that was set for Wednesday. According to the complaint, on March 29th, King posted a threat on social media.

And he said, quote, if I see ICE agents in my neighborhood, I'm opening fire. It's time to stop being censored, P words, and put the Second Amendment to work. ICE are not real cops, he said, which is false. They are secret police force with no real legal authority. Kill them, he said. Later, he posted to yet another social media platform.

Quote, I just want to double down on what I said the other day. If ICE comes to your neighborhood, effing shoot them and kill them. No mercy for the Gestapo. That's what this dude said. And so the authorities took him into custody. Now, these are not the only things that this guy has said in public. And these are not the only people that he's threatened to kill, not just ICE agents. But one of my favorite features of the week is that not only was he arrested, he was perp-locked.

And here is the photo. Take a look at this. Here's the photo. Bill Malusion at the Fox News Channel has posted the photo of what it looks like now. This is this is unbelievably fun. Look at this guy. So they brought him outside the courthouse and they surrounded him with police officers and they took a photo with him. Look how grumpy this dude. Can I zoom? I got to zoom in on this. Hold up a second. Let me let me show you how grumpy this dude is.

Look how sad he is. Is he wearing a backwards baseball cap? What is going on? They should take that cap off of him. Oh, this is this has to be the arrest because, look, his pockets are turned out. They've already patted him down. He's got leg irons on. He's in handcuffs. This is fantastic. And you've got police. This is an interagency operation of police, state police, Homeland Security. They've all come and they've arrested this idiot.

Oh, my gosh. This is fantastic news. So so there you go. That's the the update here from this bozo who's just been arrested by the by the feds taken into custody. That is isn't that a great picture? That is that just brings a song to my heart and a tear to my eye. What a wonderful, wonderful photo. I'm loving that. Now, additionally, this guy has posted a lot of other crazy crap, as I mentioned.

He also threatened to burn a Tesla. Take a look. Let me get the zoom back right on this so you can see it again. On March 18th, he reposted another social media post that said, US Attorney General Pam Bondi issues chilling message to anti-Musk protesters. If you're gonna touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything. You better watch out. We're coming after you. He responded under a pseudonym called Rob Gutierrez. Quote, I'm absolutely going to burn a Tesla now.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air writing about this. And then he said, this one might be the one that he'll regret the most. The quote, the current director of the FBI needs to be shot and killed. And I hope he sees this. I'm so serious. I dare you to arrest me, mother effer. You are a Gestapo piece of bleep who doesn't belong in our government or even country. Get effed. Well,

I guess he found out he dared the FBI to arrest him. And so they did. They arrested this idiot. And now we get this amazing photo of him. I just adore how this story played out. So good. Send him to El Salvador, would you? Send him, figure out a way. Remember, President Trump earlier this week was asked about this. Would you send American criminals to El Salvador? And he goes, you know, that's a good idea. Maybe we should.

Maybe we should. Maybe we should send them in. Yeah, so we love to send our criminals to El Salvador, don't we, folks? Just amazing. The chat loving this, F-A-F-O. I do see people encouraging me to swear. I'm trying to look. I got a lot of conflicting input on this show. And among the input I get, some of the strongest input I get on this program comes from my own dear mother.

And she has asked me to try and limit the swearing as much as humanly possible. So as a favor to Mrs. Colonese, I'm doing everything I can to keep her happy. I just want to let you know.

But you're right. F.A.F.O. in action here as this guy gets taken, charged, arrested. I love it. I love it. Everybody's everybody's pumped for this. And rightfully so. Isn't that great? What a nice story. What a nice, heartwarming story. Yeah, it's Lent, Vince. You cannot swear, says Coogan Jr. And Graphite urging me not to swear. Did you put a Canadian flag in that post, Graphite? What's that for? But thank you. Thank you.

I agree with your mother. I'm getting lots of lots of good things. All right. Well, look, trust me, there'll be there'll be occasional swearing, but I'm trying to resist it as much as possible. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, one more thing on accountability. I want to share with you because this is also a fun story. There was a Space Force commander who just was fired.

You know, J.D. Vance just went to Greenland recently and he visited a Patufik space base. My apologies if you're on Patufik space base and I'm mispronouncing that. Maybe it's Patufik. They there's a Space Force base there on Greenland.

And military.com had a report this week, just days after vice president JD Vance's March visit to Patup, Patuffik space base in Greenland, the installation commander, a woman, she sent out an email to the base distancing the whole base from the vice president's criticism of Denmark. Her name is Colonel Susan Myers. And she's the commander of the 800. She was the commander of the 821st space base group. And she wrote the following in an email.

Quote, I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Patuffik Space Base, Myers wrote in the email. I'm sorry, what? The views of the vice president of the United States are not consistent with a U.S. military base?

Remind me again who you work for? Remind me about that chain of command that you're supposed to honor, that you expect your subordinates to honor? What the hell is this? So the commander of the base just comes along and says, yeah, we're going to ignore the vice president of the United States. Talk about an F.A.F.O. moment. Here's the update from the Pentagon. Sean Parnell, the assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs, released this statement.

Colonel Susanna Myers, Commander of Patuffik Space Base, has been removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Clock, the Commander of Space Base Delta One, on April 10th for loss of confidence in her ability to lead. Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties. Colonel Sean Lee has assumed command.

Sean Parnell adding the following here, actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense. Well, that was pretty fast. So she sends out a stupid base-wide email and then the requisite consequences emerge for her career. So we end the week with some more FAFO and I'm grateful to you as always for joining me. What a nice audience. It is the best audience in all of media. It really is. Up next,

Here on Rumble, for those of you who are watching live on Rumble, rumble.com slash Vince, well, Steven Crowder's coming. So have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy Crowder. Can't wait to talk to you on Monday.

We're sunsetting PodQuest on 2025-07-28. Thank you for your support!
