changes he intends to make, if elected on immigration. if he wins that second term in the white house. there is considered to be significant speculation who he might choose to be with him on that g.o.p. ticket. one of the names being discussed is ohio senator j.d. vance. he is with us tonight. senator, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> bret: first, i want to ask you about president biden's immigration moves today and what could be, you know, preventing deportation of more than 500,000 illegal immigrants. some of them spouses. many of them spouses of u.s. residents, children. what are your thoughts. >> it's one of the critical differences between trump and biden's immigration policies, bret, is you have a president who is effectively inviting people to come and break our laws and say if you do break them there will be no consequences and contrast that both the trump record but the trump plan for 2024. if you have people coming in your country flooding n record numbers, you need somebody standing at the border saying stop. go back and come through the proper channels. and the failure of the biden administration to do that, again, is one of their critical failures on immigration. one other point on this, bret, if you go down and actually ask people who are crossing illegally, there are a number of videos of reporters going down and doing. this they will say joe biden opened the border. and one of the things that he did was guarantee that if i get into america, i never have to go back to my country of origin. that is a recipe for laghtd terrorists into your country. recipe for repressing the wages of your workers, driving up housing costs and we have of course seen thunder the biden administration which is one of the reasons why so many of us working so hard to reelect donald trump. >> bret: you know, as far as deportations go, if you look at the last presidents, non-citizen removals by ice, trump as president deported only slightly more than one third illegal immigrants during first four years as president obama as you look at these numbers. and there you see deportations under president biden. there is a lot of angst on the left. even independents about how deporting 20 million people in this country would physically work. like what it would look like and how the country would deal with this. how do you respond to that? >> well, first of all, bret, i think you have to look at where the american people are on this. after four years or three years of disastrous biden border policy, i think they are actually ready for deporting a large number of people come here illegally and public policy polling shows that majority of hispanics want us to ramp up deportations, 62% of americans at large want us to do it. this is a necessary thing and the american people recognize it. i think in some ways, bret, the media has oversold how difficult this really is. the number one thing that you need do to implement a large scale deportation program is just to make it harder to hire illegal aliens in the first place. if they can't get work, if they can't compete with american citizens for jobs, a lot of them will turn around and go back of their own volition. and i think to the extent that you are doing large scale deportations, bret, which, again, i think we do have to do you start with the people who are most egregious. the people who broke our laws. who have committed criminal violations. the people who are just frankly really bad human beings who have come into this country illegally and then committed crimes. and i think you do those two things and you actually do a significant amount to do the kind of deportation you have to do. >> bret: first presidential debate next thursday. and politico writes. this. trump ramping up debate prep. mock debate. former president sat down with ohio senator j.d. vance top contend tore become running mate at the former mar-a-lago estate. trump advisers individual topics would they expect will likely come up at the debate. so this is a conversation about policy. this is not you pretending to be a mock debater? >> yeah. that's exactly right, bret. actually, i think it speaks very highly of president trump and how he thinks about policy. he doesn't want to do these sort of fake theatrical things. he wants to talk about the data. what does the data say. what are the policies? what have they led to? how can i discuss my plans to make things better? he is sort of thinking about really ohio to translate a very ambitious term 2 trump agenda into a policy speak that makes sense for normal americans. and, again, i think if you sort of talk to him, he is really worried about the number of illegal immigrants that have come to this country. is he really worried about inflation set. really worried about the fact that young americans can't afford a home and he really cares about becoming president again not for his own reasons because he wants to make those problems better for american citizens. so, debate prep is really, i think, at least in my limited experience with him, he is thinking about how to translate these really, really important topics into a message that works and, obviously, is he as good as it as anybody. that's why he is leading all the polls. >> bret: could you imagine yourself behind the resolute desk as president? >> well, look, bret, i think that's ultimately, that's donald trump's choice whether he selects me as vice president. my attitude is there's a lot that needs to happen in the united states senate. i like being a senator, bret. the president has not asked me. if he does, i would certainly let you know. >> bret: i mean to just say are you ready to be president on day one. that's the biggest job for a vice presidential pick, right? could you being comfortable being president. >> i feel comfortable with the fact that i could do the job. look, you is to have humility going into this, too. it's a massive, massive job for anybody to undertake. i'm not auditioning the job. i asked people of ohio to elect me to be ohio state senator. if trump picks up the phone and calls the first sort of thought could i be vice president could i stand ultimately in the big chair? and, look, if he asks me, i will think about it, but i think the answer is yes, frankly we have had way too many political insiders bret who have done a very terrible job of governing this country, some of them have had a lot of political experience, some of them have had no political experience. the final point i will say about that bret is, i know trump very well. i like him. he is in very good health. i think whoever he selects as vice president is going to have a real opportunity to be very good vice president for the country for the next four years and there are a lot of good people who could serve that job. >> you know, senator, there is an evolution, i know you have been asked about this before about past comments that you have made about donald trump. you said i have never -- i'm a never trump guy. never liked him. terrible candidate. idiot if you voted for him. might be america's hitler. might be a cynical a hole. cultural heroin, noxious and reprehensible. those are things the let is going to come after you and probably put in ads should you be chosen as the v.p. pick. how do you deal with them now. >> the simple answer is you have got to respect the american people enough to level with them. look, i was wrong about donald trump. i didn't think he was going to be a good president, bret. he was a great president. one of the reasons why i'm working so hard to make sure he gets a second term. i think you should when you are wrong about something you should change your mind and be honest with people about that fact. whether this is running as his running mate or running and supporting him as a united states senator, bret, i think it actually presents a real opportunity to talk to the american people because a lot of people didn't think trump was going to be a good president and a lot of people were happy to be proven wrong. and i think it prentsz an opportunity for me to make the case to the american people that, look, we have two very different sets of results, four years of joe biden. four years of donald trump. we know the trump record is one of success, the biden record is one of failure. i came around to donald trump and i think that a lot of americans will do the exact same thing. >> bret: last thing, senator. speaking of the left, a lot of the talking points have been about this threat to democracy from former president trump, that he would never leave office if he gets back into the white house. that he would become a dictator. here's some sound from today, actually. >> >> if you don't stand for anything, other than what he wants, you don't vote, you just put him in power. and, once he is there, nobody is allowed to disagree with him or say anything that he doesn't believe. >> what is that called? >> that is what a lot of other countries all around the world have. and it is not democracy. we are going to be the ones who decide if the american system of government survives or taken over instead by a strong man authoritarian form. >> bret: i want you to respond to that and for an independent who may listen to that and say that's really a possibility? what do you say to them? >> well, look, my response is those are the hysterical ramblings of rachel maddow who has been wrong about nearly everything and importantly to those independent voters, she can't say joe biden has lowered your housing costs. she can't say joe biden has lowered your food costs. she can't say joe biden has actually stopped the flow of fentanyl across our southern border. so she is going to attack donald trump in hysterical terms. look, i know donald trump. he cares about this country. and wants to run for make it better and not install him himself as some sort dictator it's ridiculous, bret. here's the most important point on this. if you actually look at the record of donald trump and joe biden. who has tried to throw their political opponents in jail. who has tried to use the power of the state to go after not just his political opposition. that's joe biden. if there is a threat to american democracy. it's coming from joe biden. it's not coming from the guy who governed effectively, who governed successfully and is now asking the american people for another term to make things as successful in 25 as they were in 2019. >> bret: obviously the white house pushes back about their steering all of these things, but the former president talks about that a lot on the trail on the legal front. senator vance, we

beings. it's not just because we are citizens we need free speech to be fully human. that view was lost within a few years of the adams administration which became enemy the biden administration the most anti-free speech in history. president biden is rivalling that record. we have the largest censorship system in history. but, more importantly, we have this alliance of government, corporations, media, and academia and all supporting censorship, blacklisting and other forms of limitations and this book looks at that history and why we continue to struggle with what called the indispensable

>> i think, yes. especially with some of the independents are latino and if they live in a, you know, a border state and they are concerned about this issue about families being separated. i think it's a good move for the president. and not just with voters but within my party with democrats for the more progressive and fatherless leaning faction angry at his one executive action and thought it went too far and thought it went harsh. but i would agree with kimberley that that and this are both going to be challenged in the courts. i also want to say of the approximately half a million people, you are looking at average of 23 years that these spouses have been here. and remember, this includes children. not just the spouses. >> bret: in the same, you know, week of news stories we also have this migrant marc in new york, arrested in broad daylight for raping a 13-year-old girl. we have had another murder tied to an illegal immigrant and these stories are continuing to pop up. >> yeah. that's why there was a new yougov poll that shows that 62% of americans support deporting all the illegal migrants including 53% of hispanic americans. this is wrong. majority of hispanic americans want all of them deported and i guess the problem that i have with this is leslie. you don't get to unleash the worst border crisis in the history of the country and then follow it up with mass amnesty by executive fiat. that is not how it works. and that political story said that he is taking a page out of the obama playbook. bret, you showed the numbers of deportations under obama, trump, and biden. obama had the most. he was called by the left the deporter in chief. so joe biden hasn't just reversed donald trump's immigration border policy, reversed barack obama's policies. maybe he ought to take a page out of that obama playbook and see how that works. >> bret: yeah. i want to turn to this white house allegation of cheap fakes is what they are calling it. not deep fakes but cheap fake videos where they say, kimberley, this video shown on this network and others of the president by former president. prime minister kind of ushering him back into the group as he turns to give thumbs up to a parachute skydiver. that these are somehow being manipulated. and i just wonder your thoughts about this messaging strategy. >> the only thing fake about this claim is that there is anything fake about these videos. and they are making this very odd argument that somehow unless you show the president an entire hour before he has a senior moment and after he has a senior moment that somehow you are slicing and dicing. what matters are those moments. and when people are being asked to now be choosing who is going to be the president of the united states, the president should rightfully be under the microscope. and when they have no other answer than to suggest that somehow there is bad faith in pointing this out, look, remember all of the attention when mitch mcconnell had his frozen moments. they addressed that. they dealt with it. this white house doesn't want to deal with what is obviously the competence of a president in office. >> bret: i mean, i don't know, leslie, growing insidious trend by highly misleading seq. live at this editing videos. i'm not sure. i mean, we are running them just as they come in. some of these are pool camera shots. >> what we just saw is a man standing there not dancing. not everybody dances and jives, you know, to music. i am one that definitely does dance and he would be picked on by the right if he did. but, when we look at the video of the g-7 in italy specifically, can you google this, guys, online, there are not cropped pieces of footage that we are seeing right now that show what is he looking at. you can see not just the -- yes, you can see that he is looking at, you know, somebody who just parachuted down. >> bret: not saying is he -- i'm not saying is he going out and going to go fall off a cliff or just walk to nowhere. is he giving a thumbs up but he walked away from the crowd and you can't say that the italian prime minister didn't grab him by the arm to get him back to the group. my point is that i got it. i mean, we showed the whole video. >> i don't feel that's what she was doing. if i pull you and say hey, look at that does that mean you can't turn around by yourself. that you have some kind of dementia or disability and i need to help you or did she not want him to miss what was going on here while he was thumbs up. >> bret: the voters can look at the videos themselves. >> not top five reason for voting. >> bret: i gotcha. i got to run. all right, thank you. ♪ ♪ finally tonight, a special day. >> and now it's my honor to present to the boston celtics the 2024 larry o'brien story and the nba championship.
