BRETT COOPER (PODCAST HOST): So I just want to respond to Rogan here because I genuinely feel like he is smarter than this. He obviously is smarter than this. This is just his, you know, toxic empathy speaking, his emotions speaking. And, obviously, anybody with any kind of heart is going to have part of them that feels a tinge of discomfort or empathy when they watch these types of videos, when they know what is happening with ICE on a, you know, on a day to day level. What is happening when they are going into cities and they are deporting people.
But guys, this is what we voted for. There are articles that are coming out now where these podcasters are saying, this isn't what I voted for. I'm sorry. What did you think mass deportations was? This was something that was spoken about every single day. Everybody was in favor of, you know, basically securing our border and cleaning out our country. That's just a very matter of fact way to say it, but we were in favor of this. This was something that Trump talked about on a day to day basis. This is what we voted for.
