Colombia Quickly Realizes Trump is NOT MESSING AROUND With Deportation

President Donald Trump sent a clear message over the weekend: There’s a new sheriff in town and you don’t want to mess with us! Glenn reviews what happened when Colombia’s president refused to let US planes carrying deported illegal immigrants land. Long story short, he quickly changed his mind after Trump threatened massive tariffs. Glenn explains multiple reasons why this matters, including that it shows Trump is serious about “America First.” Plus, Glenn reviews some other big Trump moves, including his comments on ending FEMA and big changes to USAID and foreign aid reviews.

GLENN: This is J.D. Vance, I believe. Cut four.

VOICE: Well, this is a country founded by immigrants. This is a country -- this is a very unique country. And it was found by some immigrants and some settlers. But just because we were founded by some immigrants, doesn't mean that 240 years later, that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.

GLENN: So they're just going for it. Just going for it. No more catch and release. No more waiving of migrants across the border without proper vetting. It's all over. Proper vetting, by the way, here's J.D. Vance again. Cut three.

VOICE: When you talked to us in August, you said, I don't think we should abandon anybody who has been properly vetted and helped us.

Do you stand by that?

VOICE: I don't agree all these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted.

In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country.

That happened during the campaign if you remember. So clearly not the all these --

VOICE: There were 30,000 people in the pipeline, Afghan refugees. Do you stand by it?

VOICE: As the vice president, Margaret, is to look after the American people. And now that he we know we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country.

VOICE: These people are vetted. These people are vetted.

GLENN: This is so ridiculous.
VOICE: Just like that guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago. He was allegedly properly vetted, and many people in the media and the Democratic Party said he was properly vetted. Clearly, he wasn't.

VOICE: Yeah.

VOICE: I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted. And because I don't want it for my kids, I won't force any other American citizen's kids to do it either.

VOICE: No, and that was a particular case. It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here. Or --

VOICE: I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.

GLENN: I so love the fact that the media still just cannot get their arms around common sense.

STU: This guy will stop getting booked. He will stop getting interviews. They're going to stop asking him. He's winning too much. They're not even going to allow this to occur.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. So last week, President Trump made it clear males are males. Females are females. The two shall never meet in school bathrooms and athletics, and areas where sexes are sensibly separated for the safety and privacy of women.

He also pulled out -- America out of the China-fawning Communist-enabling World Health Organization, yanked America from the Paris Climate Agreement.

He designated cartels and terror groups as terrorist groups. I have to tell you, the cartel thing, you watch. They're just going to start disappearing. They're just going to start disappearing.

What happened, what happened to Geraldo?

Hmm. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what happened.

STU: Geraldo. It's not the Geraldo?

GLENN: Yeah, it is. That's who I was thinking. I think he's a drug cartel member.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Anyway, he also called on his Treasury and Commerce chiefs to root out all unfair trade practices and recommend America first policies. And to take their places. He started the External Revenue Service to take money from foreign sources.

He banned government officials from using social media as a tool of censorship and propaganda.

He got rid of all of the climate change mandates and the electrical vehicle thing.

It was a snowstorm of Biblical proportions yesterday. Or last week.

And he sent the clear message: New sheriff in town. I don't think you're going to want to screw with us.

Then he went to North Carolina, who is still suffering. And he told them, you know what, I think I will get rid of FEMA.

STU: Woo.

GLENN: So then he went to California. And, oh, wasn't that satisfying?

So let me get into what happened, just over the weekend. First story, probably the most important story.

I don't know. You might have been watching football like I was, yesterday. And Stu was.

But there was something really important going on all day yesterday, with Columbia.

And I have to tell you, this was incredible. To have a president, who is like, I don't care. I don't care.

I don't care what you say. You're Columbia. We're the United States of America. You're taking your -- your illegals back.

So here's what happened: We start to deport, and we let Columbia know, that two aircraft are coming their way with their citizens who were in jail.

And we're flying them back. So these are the prisoners that they let out. And shipped them to the United States. We're shipping them back. Halfway there, the president of Columbia says, no. Close the airspace to those planes. They're not coming in. We're not taking those people back.

So President Trump, who is on the golf course. Hears that. And says, oh!

Okay.

Well, turn the planes around. And bring them back. But just tell the president of Columbia, I'm going to put -- I think he said a 25 percent tax to everything they sell to the United States.

And so the Columbian president said, okay. Okay. Okay.

I tell you what, when they get down to the ground, I'll send my presidential aircraft to go pick them up.

Okay? But then, after that, a couple hours passed, and he's like, yeah. You know what, they are being bullies. We've got a lot of leverage here.

And he said, so, we will pick them up. But we're not going to let you do anything with your military around Columbia. And Donald Trump said, perfect. Okay.

We're cutting your foreign aid. We're stop -- we're closing our embassy. We're stopping everything in Columbia.

It was -- I don't know. Maybe 20 minutes went by. And he was tweeting. Just reached a deal with the United States. We're good. We are good!

STU: I believe his exact quote was, thank you, sir. May I have another? It was unbelievable.

GLENN: That is exactly. Exactly.

Okay. So this matters for a lot of reasons.

One, it's showing, the United States is going to do what is best for the United States.

If you sent people here, you're taking your people back. Because they're not our people. And we're not dealing with it. You sent them!

We told you, take them back.

You won't?

Well, then the United States is going to exercise its powers.

It is good for Americans. Good for national security.

But this not only affects the US and Columbia, this -- he puts a couple of these things on his belt, and nobody is going to screw with us.

Do you see, he is playing -- he's playing five-dimensional chess with Putin right now. He is moving things around, and pushing -- I mean, he is in full-fledged negotiation with Putin to get the war stopped. But he also wants a renewed nuclear treaty with Russia.

He's freaked by our nukes. And he told me, at one point. He said, Glenn. Well, he said this also with Elon Musk. On -- on Musk X broadcast. He said, I'm freaked by nuclear. I rebuilt this.

I know what it can do. We don't want ever to open any of this stuff up.

And so what he's doing is he's trying to end the war. But he's also pushing Putin and kind of kicking at him, because he's actually going for a bigger deal. This guy is -- I mean, he's really learned a lot in the last four years.

Now, this is also going to help our jobs here, in America. And, you know, I want to look at everything he does, and say, is he -- is he following conservative values, or are we going into -- what was it, that the New York Times said? Signs of --

STU: Yeah. This is funny. This is the AI summary of the New York Times coverage over the past like 24 hours. And it says, let me see if I can pull it up. Here it is. Trump return to power. Early signs of tyranny. Kansas City will play Philadelphia in Super Bowl. That's what they've been covering lately.

GLENN: Signs of tyranny.

STU: Signs of tyranny. Just throw it out there.

GLENN: So I want to know, are these signs of tyranny? Or is he following our principles as conservatives?

First, a nation without laws or borders, isn't a nation.

The answer is no!

If we don't equally apply our laws, to everyone, can there be equality?

Can there be equal justice under the law?
The answer is no! He's also protecting American workers by taking the unfair competition out.

I mean, I don't know if you've seen some of these places, where nobody is showing up for work now.

There was this huge construction site, like eight workers showed up. Everybody else wasn't there. I mean, they couldn't do anything. They couldn't build everything. Because they had eight Americans. The rest of them are illegals. Well, now America, go take those jobs back.

Demand the right salary from those people.

The next thing he did was America-first foreign aid. He just released a memo that instructs the US agency for international development. This is absolutely a CIA front. USAID, to prioritize America first in foreign aid reviews. Now, this is a very big deal.

Because USA ID has been a CIA and, honestly, Marxist kind of operation. They've taken your tax dollars.

And they've done all kinds of horrible things with them.

And they have given them to our enemies. And they still have been giving it to our enemies, and they're bribes.

That's all this is.

You do not garner love and respect from people you are bribing. And that's what our State Department and USA ID think they're doing.

Is, well, we've got to give them this money, or they won't like us. Well, I don't want them to like us because we give them money. That's the worst kind of relationship.

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
