And that's why they won the popular vote in 2000. That's why they won the popular vote in 2008. And then after that, they went and Obama, as soon as he got elected, he took the party to the left. And even Obama ran in 2008 that he was opposed to gay marriage. Remember that? Yes, it was Joe Biden who... It was Joe Biden who leaked it. Unprompted. Yeah. Joe Biden, everybody's nemesis.
I mean, he has done more damage to the country and to his party than any living Democrat. He really has. He really almost destroyed this country for four years and he's destroyed the Democratic Party.
Yeah, he makes Carter look like Churchill.
Sorry, Jack.
But not in a way that you would... Anthony Fauci isn't... He's now, you know, he started... He didn't need a pardon. He didn't need a pardon. Well, I'll take it if you ram it down my throat. And now, thank God I got that pardon. Because... my fingerprints are likely over $40 million going to Wuhan when I claimed it was only 600,000.
I like John a lot.
Everybody always... They always look at the U.S. Postal Service and it requires, what, hundreds of millions of dollars of a subsidy every year. And they always... If by hundreds of millions, you mean billions, yes. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm ambiguous because they want to eliminate Saturday. I mean, I grew up with this idea that At 2 o'clock, I would say to my parents, can I go out and check the mail?
Can I check the mail? Please, please, please. We have a rural mailbox. And I have one here, but of course, it looks like a safe. It's an armored mailbox with keys. And I do that because I've had it robbed so many times or shot up. I went online, Jack. This is off topic, but I looked at a company. I won't mention the name. I don't want to endorse particular companies.
You know, they're not sponsors, but their ad was a guy with an M16 shooting at the mailbox and the bullets bounced off. And I said, that's my mailbox. So, and I've had people try to tamper with it and everything, but it's untamperable. Yeah. Well, I just want to verify. I like my Saturday. I get really excited on Saturdays. I say, I'm going to walk out to the mailbox and see what's there.
But they're going to eliminate that. People have always suggested they eliminate Saturday service, FedEx. I will mention UPS. I had a very important package of medicine that came to my office and a book that I had to review. And one of my assistants tried to mail it overnight UPS and it came four days late. And I saw that it went all the way to Kentucky and back again.
And I live 190 miles away from my office, but maybe that's the way they do it. But I'm not so sure. I guess what I'm saying is the post office is much cheaper than the alternative. And I used to be a lot less efficient, but I've had pretty good luck with the post office recently.
when this is being broadcast it's the anniversary of of his death uh yeah it's it's a very it's a reflection of the wokeness of government but um anyway i both well i mean it's it's um it got hurt um because what i think it's 75 percent of all communications are through electronics now facebook social media email and then it it uh
I mean, 30 years ago, my thing, it would be about this big, and now it's two or three letters. And it's a unionized postal service. It's kind of a... It's one of those situations in which... It's kind of like the NFL or NBA. We all talk about diversity, diversity, diversity. But when you look at the actual makeup of the post office...
Minorities, it's a way of hiring minorities in percentages greater than their demographics. And no one says much of it. It's a very coveted position to work for the post office. It's guaranteed almost lifetime employment. And it pays very well. And it's not, I mean, it can be dangerous if you're a mail carrier, I suppose, with dogs and stuff. And it's an iconic idea.
So my only point of all this rambling is that every conservative, even George W. Bush, I think Trump mentioned it the first time, they all look at the post office and they say, why is the government delivering mail? Do we have a federal power company? Do we have a federal gasoline company? And let's get rid of it because it's inefficient. It costs too much money.
And we have FedEx and UPS and we have email. And every time they try to do it, they're on the wrong side of public opinion. Yeah.
Well, the latter first, he's got a little bit of a problem because they've been so spectacular at discouraging illegal immigration through they've stopped catch and release. They've stopped refugee status applied after you get here. You have to apply for it in Mexico. I've been told they're restarting the wall. There's great morale there. And they've stopped these apps.
I haven't gone to the Fresno Air Terminal lately at night, but I've been told that it's vastly reduced. My point is there's not a lot of people coming in the border now. I think it's less than 40. So the impetus or the direction of enforcement is now interior. In other words, we can live with probably... 30 or 40,000 illegal aliens.
We're going to curtail them to zero probably, but there are 12 million under Biden and there was 20 million here before. And we've got the first iteration to deal with. We've only deported, I think it's 80,000. We've got 500,000 people that may have had criminal records and we've got another million and a half who've already been given their deportation orders. They were not refugees.
They've gone through the system and they've fled. So we've got about 2 million people we have to deport. And it's very hard when you have 600 sanctuary city jurisdictions and you have uncooperative local authorities in blue states. And it's very expensive. And they haven't got enough authorization from Congress. And so Donald Trump is very impatient.
