Nick Reed 03.25.26 - ICE at the Airport

About this episode

Hour 1 -

Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

  • Florida Democrats on Tuesday flipped control of a long-vacant Republican-held state House seat in a Palm Beach-anchored district that includes Mar-a-Lago.
  • The abysmal quality of the GOP Senate caucus is a real problem. The SAVE Act is making that very clear when 4 out of 5 Americans support it.
  • Many travelers are grateful for ICE officers assisting the TSA as Congress fails to reach an agreement to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
  • The liberal media is complaining because ICE agents aren't wearing masks at the airport.

The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports. Right now, the NBA is heating up, March Manus is here, and MLB is almost back. Every day there's a new headline, a new highlight, a new moment you've got to see for yourself. That's why I stay locked in with the Bleacher Report app. For me, it's about staying connected to my sports. I could follow the teams I care about, get real-time scores, breaking news, and highlights all in one place. Dallow the Bleacher Report app today, so you never miss a moment. Bring Hills Talk 101 and Good Wednesday and welcome to the show, everyone. My name is Nick Reed, streaming live KSGF.com.

We are on YouTube. If you want to catch the visuals, as you hear the audio you can do so, just look up Springfield Talk 101 on YouTube, you can find us there, and archived shows as well. If you want to catch something from the past, and then we do have the podcast, Spotify, iTunes, KSGF.com, the app, all of those grand places. Today's the day that we will have presiding county commissioner Bob Dixon, a mayor, sharp in studio, or what? Scrat, yeah. I don't know why I will sharp in my head for some reason. No idea why that was very weird and random. We will have them in the 7 o'clock hour as the city and different interests are, of course, lobbying to get that vote pass that went down in November. That is the necessary tax increase on hotel motel Airbnb stays for the convention center

to be built. We will get some of those questions. A lot of these questions are pretty standard for the subject matter. There are questions that either naturally have come to me over the build up to this, or I hear consistently from you, some of them through emails, text messages, I am out and about. Having conversations with folks, a lot of which just normal people, some people actually in the tourism industry, some people in the hotel industry and just business owners as well. It's quite a conglomerate of opinions and thoughts on it. I think under the banner theme wise, mostly unanswered questions it seems people have, and not that those questions, not that those answers don't exist necessarily. That's some of, I guess, what we'll hopefully find out today, so that will be coming up in the seven o'clock hour. You can still send in any of your text messages that you'd like to do, or send in text messages

that you'd like me to ask. If you have any questions, I'm not going to guarantee that all of those questions will be asked. I do plan on limiting questions to the subject matter at hand. I know that oftentimes if I mention that this person is going to be in, there will be other questions that might fall under there, jurisdiction if you will, that people send in, but it isn't necessarily the subject matter of the day. Can't guarantee again that we'll get to all of them, but we will pick what we do think is appropriate. I do want to come up to talk about a couple of different things that are, to me, in the same basket, and that is this special election upset that took place in Florida, and it's a state seat. Getting a lot of attention, however, because it is considered an upset in a Republican district that, in fact, Mar-a-Lago is part of this district and Trump endorsed the person

who is running yet a Democrat ended up winning. And increasingly what we hear from Republicans is, well, special elections, we never do that. Just, I'm telling you, we can see Trump is still president, Trump obviously still extremely relevant, but the Republican Party is behaving as if it's moved past Trump. And that is going back to the days of being a party of losers, or a party that is being led by losers. Just telling voters, well, you know, we've lose these special elections. That's just the way it is. When it comes to legislation, even when in charge, we're watching this with the Save Act

right now, the same people who ask for your money beg for you to re-elect them, telling you that this is the most important election ever, and there's such vast differences between Republicans and Democrats, and if Republicans don't get in charge, we've got to get in charge so we can do all these amazing things, then get in there and start telling you why they can't actually get them done. The really important things, they may oftentimes get this done or that done and they'll try to tell you how important and monumental that is, but when it comes to things like securing our elections in a manner that 80% of Americans agree with, I mean, how big of a loser? Do you have to be if you are in the majority? With a leader of a party that's in the majority, over 80% of people support a position, yet

you still cannot manage to get that done somehow. You still have a list of excuses as to why it's not realistic. If it isn't realistic under those conditions for you to get the things done that you say you believe in, then what conditions do make it realistic? What is the point? I'm telling you, it is that Republican party, first off, that made Donald Trump president of the United States, something that I think they still failed to grasp, that it is because of that loser attitude that constantly downplaying expectations, managing defeat, that gave so many Americans this desire to find somebody that wasn't a loser and had America first values and that was Donald Trump.

And this insistence and going back to that attitude is how you lose voters. This is where apathy kicks in. It's where you have Republican voters say, what is the point even? I'm going to put you in charge so you can tell me why it is you're not going to be able to get done what you said you'd get done if you were put in charge. And as these special elections pop up, and there have been special elections within the past year, so everywhere from Iowa to Georgia, Pennsylvania, in which Democrats have won some more surprising than others. And it's just this constant, well, that's, you know, that's not unusual. By the way, you know, the party in charge always loses during the midterm, so just expect us to lose just even the presentation as insane as the Democrats are, they will be down

30 points going into a midterm election telling you it's going to be a landslide victory for them. Republicans run around telling you why you got to understand history is just not on our side. So, you know, hopefully we'll keep the Senate, I mean, it's just pathetic. And then they, I mean, can you just think in my mind, I imagine you got the, you know, some iconic movie and it's, it's the half during a football game and the teams down. Some of their best players are injured and they just come dragging themselves in, and they just think there's wide, wide and go out, why not just give this thing up and then the coach comes in and gives this rousing speech or maybe the quarterback, the quarterback who got injured in the first play comes lobbing in and it's like, guys, no, come on and gives this rousing speech. And then they all run out excited and pumped and, and they're like, yeah, it's a whole

total motivational mindset shift. And then I think if the Republican party leadership were that coach, it's, you imagine that speech? Well, guys, now, you know, historically, nobody ever really comes back from being this far down at the half and, you know, we got all these injuries and we're not at home in. So, you know, it's just a, maybe next time around, we'll focus on future games. It's, that's the Republican party. And I've gotten to the point where I believe, I, once upon a time, I thought, well, maybe one day they'll hear us, you know, they're like, oh, okay, we get it. I think they know this. They're just fine with it. Well, that's just the way it is.

For ever and a day ago, Newt Gingrich, after he got elected speaker, this was in the 90s. And he was, I forget if it was an interview or if it was a speech he was giving. And he talked about his first day as a newly elected member of Congress and they get them all together and it's like first day of school. And he said that whomever it was at that time in the Republican Party that was tasked with telling all the new guys and gals, here's how things go, here's where the restrooms are. This is, this is what you can expect. And he said that the, the legislate of theme in terms of effectiveness of the Republican Party was, hey, we're in the minority. This is just the way it is and you know, just kind of keep your head low and just come in, do your job and it was all about setting loser expectations.

And Newt Gingrich at the time said that in his mind that is, well, no, that, what? That's not why I got involved in this to be a loser. But unfortunately the Republican Party's run by losers outside of Trump. And they're losers who think that just, you know, his existence is enough and they just sort of, well, you know, well, we'll just win history and then we'll be out of charge. But boy, the Democrats will be so bad then we'll get back in and that'll be our chance again, all reliant on Democrats. There's a piece in American spectator, I want to share some of it with you and it's, it's titled the abysmal quality of the GOP Senate caucus is the real issue and the Save Act mess has made that clear. And it's, it's specifically focusing on the pathetic, if you even want to call it leadership of Republicans in the Senate regarding the Save Act, but it's, it is the personality

of the Republican Party and why it is that they are insistent on going back to the old ways of being losers. From all of us here at Ozark's first news, I'm Mike Landis of the growth of Southwest Springfield is showing no signs of slowing down, just days after the city's new target opened on West Sunshine near West bypass, we're learning about another plan development nearby. On Monday night, the city council approved a rezoning request for 12 acres and that would pave the way for the proposed West Sunshine Marketplace. The plan calls for retail and offices at Sunshine and More Road. A lawmaker's and Jefferson City are considering a bill to require alert systems in all Missouri schools. If approved, Missouri would be the 13th state to pass the law. Several school districts across the state are already using similar alert systems, including the Lindbergh and Normany school districts in eastern Missouri from the Ozarks first.com digital newsroom in Springfield by Mike Landis. And the first alert forecast from Ozarks first meteorologist Tom Schmidt sponsored by

St. Clair of the Ozarks home improvements. Today, we'll see sunny skies with a high near 84 tonight, clear with a low around 64. For your Thursday, sunny with a high near 89 and taking a look at Friday, we'll see a 50% chance of showers before 1 p.m. and then partly sunny skies with a high near 60. If you happen to need a home loan, of course, there are a number of places you can go. You don't hear it so much any longer, but for the longest time, there's a huge push on the internet. Just get it done on the internet. And I suppose there might in the minds of some people be some benefit to that. I never really saw it, particularly when you're talking about such a massive commitment and things popping up oftentimes. And you have any unique situation. We hear this all the time from the caracters that they will get folks coming to them who started off with other traditional folks that they go. Oh, well, we've always worked with these folks over here, and they know us, so we went

over there. But because of some unusual thing popping up, maybe it's just a mistake on the part of the person doing the borrowing, you know, didn't know any better and took out a car loan during the process, something along those lines. And so they suddenly have a hard time getting a hold of their loan officer, the person handling it. And then they're like, wow, you got to understand this, you know, so we got to do this in that. And the person who handles this stuff, they're only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and you know, they got a kind of a backlog of people. And so they end up going to I want a great home loan dot com and getting in contact with the caracters and then find that they get navigated through this stuff, really dedicated to it and making sure that anything and everything's possible gets taken care of. We just hear these stories consistently. So I recommend this, the site itself is a great way to get started. So you do have the ease and convenience of a well-developed website to navigate you

through the process. But right there on the top of the page is Alex and Anthony's cell phone numbers. You can call them seven days a week. I want a great home loan dot com. And it's going to get a pretty significant deal of attention. And I think that it should a special election. I think it's just a state rep seat in Florida, but it was a heavy Republican seat. It's Mar-Lago occupies the district and a Democrat upset by winning it. You get one or two upsets. It's potentially dismissible, but the Republicans continue to see this occur. And there's a number of reasons for this, but much of it, I believe, you can draw from and I want to read to you some of this piece from American spectator. I'm not going to go through all of it, but it can give you an understanding as I share this information with you. And a lot of its information that you already know, but you're going to have this emotion

that you feel inside most will anyhow. And you're going to understand why it is that the Republican party in all likelihood has a lack of enthusiasm amongst its base that causes voters to not get out and vote, even in special elections. And Scott McKay and the spectator notes that the federalists, Sean Davis did an excellent job of summing up the predicament the Republican party finds itself in at the moment with lots of time until the 2026 midterms, but no real indication that will make much difference. The whole quote he writes. And what Thune is doing right now, talking about the Republican leader in the Senate. It's not enough for him to kill the Save America Act. Thune has to kill it while also protecting his worst rhino colleagues from being exposed for opposing it. How does Thune accomplish this by avoiding a simple majority vote at all costs?

Thune knows a public vote where Republicans get less than 50 votes with people like Tillis, and Curtis, and McConnell, and Murkowski voting against it, is electoral poison. He doesn't want it to pass, but he also can't have it die at the hands of his own puke colleagues. So how does Thune navigate this by refusing to move to the already passed House Bill? This only requires a simple majority because the House message is privileged, and instead moving it to a new standalone Senate bill. He say a new Senate bill is not what they call privileged, and therefore the motion to proceed to it is debatable making it requiring 60 votes. Of course, you can do the talking filibuster, which Thune has clearly demonstrated under his leadership has no chance of being a success. Thune needs to instead kill the Save America Act while not exposing any of his GOP colleagues

is actually being against it in the first place, and be able to pretend that he tried. The Republican Party, the home of the participation ribbon. This is the actual Senate GOP trifecta, doing nothing while pretending they tried everything while protecting the worst of the worst the whole time. So when you watch the GOP Senate bring up a brand new Save America Act bill, and hold a single vote on a motion that needs 60 to pass, know that they're doing it because they think you're stupid. You know, it's nothing about this assessment as off base if anything, it is underselling the situation. Let's remember, the more than four and five Americans want this past, why? Because it's a basic, obvious piece of commonsense legislation that installs voter ID and proof

of citizenship requirement so as to keep our elections from being polluted by non-citizens, not to mention the undead from voting. Without election integrity, there's no point to holding elections. You aren't a representative republic anymore, you're a mere fash meal of that. Your entire political system is a fraud and Americans are increasingly aware that could be if you prefer what we already have. With some 20 million illegal aliens residing here, some three million are reported to have been deported since Trump's second inauguration, which is a nice start to fixing the problem but nowhere near enough to save the country. It's no secret what a crucial election integrity issue this is. The polls are all over the place on the issue, but a large fraction, if not a majority of Americans think, the 2020 election was decided wrongly on the base of illegal or fraudulent votes. Recent legal developments in Arizona and Georgia have done nothing to LA those concerns.

Nor do the utterly brazen words and deeds of the Democrat Party who can't possibly signal their intentions in the latter. And then the piece goes on to note how Democrats have become unapologetic in their recognition and acknowledgement that part of their plan is to allow illegals to vote. And it talks about specifically in the Save Act, they're big problem with the Save Act as they have said is that or or part of sorry with their this runs in tandem. The funding of DHS is that ice, they don't want ice to be a polling places. Well, there's only one reason you would not want ice to be at a polling place. Chuck Schumer even acknowledged that they fear ice being at polling places would result in millions of people not voting.

Well who are the only people who might not vote if ice is at a polling place for the purposes of catching a legal's it's going to be a legal's? Now though the the ultimate point here is what a complete and utter disaster Republican leadership has become we sometimes lose perspective I think because we see the Democrat party and what a train wreck it is I mean I just here's a you still have Maryland bill would mandate tampons and men's bathrooms legislation their title public health sponsored by more than 10 Democrat delegates introduced February 5th and it would you know it's more of this insanity. You still have Democrats out there demanding that girls be forced to compete against boys

despite injuries despite sexual assaults despite losing scholarships and then demonizing any girl who dares stand up for herself that's another issue that 80% of Americans are on the side of girls on the side of women on the side of science on the side of common sense. You have leaders in the Democrat party currently I mean Chuck Schumer on MS now I'm giving you a list of examples for a purpose here. Had a bit of a back and forth with Joe Scarborough Joe Scarborough was trying to essentially help Chuck Schumer by getting Chuck Schumer to admit well listen I mean as much as we may disagree with Iran I mean we can at least agree being the number one exporter of terrorism in the world not having their full military capabilities and I mean that's at least a good thing right we don't want terrorists to have all of these weapons and Chuck Schumer disagreed with it. They went back and forth for three minutes. Chuck Schumer saying that he did not believe that it was a good thing for terrorists to

have their nuclear capabilities taken away from them and he wasn't it wasn't a slip of the tongue which is why the back and forth went on three minutes because Scarborough kept revisiting it essentially trying to give him a lifeline out of it and he doubled down. You have Van Holland you got former CIA director Clapper who's the Democrat operative out there saying that that when it comes to Iran we should trust the enemy over our own commander and chief where were with these people. You want to talk about giving aid and comfort to the enemy you are out there publicly on national television as either an elected senator of one of the two major parties or somebody that speaks on behalf of them as a former intelligence official saying that people should believe what the IOTOla or whomever replaces the IOTO just anyone in Iranian leadership over the United States of America.

Not to mention the it was months ago but five elected Democrats a produced video telling American troops to disobey orders that they may consider illegal and then telling them by the way this war with Iran's illegal openly telling our troops it's our patriotic duty to defy orders while we are at war with Iran. I mean I'm just listing to you a few things that any opposition political party with even the slightest bit of competence should when 90% of the elections. That we are already planning for Republicans to lose the House and the Senate apparently is up for grabs at this point. If the Republican party cannot manage to in a massive landslide win against the Democrat

party as it is today that says just as much about the Republican party as it does the Democrat party. And when you see these special elections one by one Democrats picking them off and just in terms of the logistics of a ground game it's telling me that the Republican party is back to their old ways of just you know kind of running through the motions of elections those special elections even if it's an election that is either supposed to be a shoe in or oh there's no way we'll win this those should be practice rounds. Those should be seen and accepted and embraced as opportunities to try really really hard to really go out maybe try some new innovative stuff and to to fight as if it's the most important election that they've ever fought before but because that's what Democrats are doing not Republicans. They are doing what they long and rightfully so criticized Obama for as the leader of

the United States and quote managed our decline somehow however they recognize the you know what a bad idea that is when Obama did it as president but when they're doing it with their own political party well you got to understand that's just the way it is we got traffic coming up in a moment pyramid roofing company tech slide 447 KSGF I'm Nick Reed. Springfield's talk 101 the first alert forecast from Ozark's first meteorologist Tom Schmidt sponsored by JNS Automotive today we'll see sunny skies with a high near 84 tonight clear with a low around 64 for your Thursday sunny with a high near 89 and taking a look at Friday a 50% chance of showers before 1 p.m. otherwise partly sunny with a high near 60 the usage of ice at

airports in order to help alleviate some of the pressure a great deal of the pressure that these TSA agents are feeling as the Democrats for I mean I don't know how many weeks we are into them refusing to pay these workers and so that's resulted in a number of workers you know not showing up and over 400 they say at this point have left the job which I imagine for a lot of them it's just because they had to find new job so that that revenue could continue to roll in and so they leave and I don't know that it's been talked about so much and how much of an impact that's going to have even when Democrats do block or stop blocking the funding and allow for these employees to be paid you're going to be down 400 plus employees now spread over all the airports across the country and to what degree that is spread out at whether that's going to make a real meaningful difference that the average passenger will notice I don't know the answer to that but there are

going to be a lot of job openings that are there this hasn't been the worst PR thing for ice though I don't know that it's going to make any sort of real massive difference in terms of the overall perception that you know people that Democrats have convinced to hate ice and see them as Nazis that it's necessarily going to change their mind but there are a lot of people out there that aren't necessarily hate filled and they casually observe what's going on and because of the disinformation campaigns that get run by the media and just straight up lies I mean when you have Democrats running around saying they're murdering people and dragging people out of churches and hospitals and schools they tend to believe that there may be some truth to that because the media amplifies it instead of correcting it and when they actually come into contact with these ice officers and these ice officers are handing out water and they go to an airport

that just days before had a five hour wait and now CNN was at one of the different airports and they were just shocked that there were no lines they went from thousands of people looking as if they were trying to escape some sort of country that was in collapse to virtually nobody at the airport you know that that as a meaningful difference and people you know see that as a positive obviously and so that wins a little bit of goodwill for ice and just the face to face interaction you know this is one of the things that during the Clinton years and the effort what do they call it neighborhood policing this idea of getting police officers out there in the neighborhoods to interact with young people so that young people no longer see them as as being the enemy but instead oh hey these are normal people just like me and and that that would help foster a relationship that might reduce crime and if it's done right and over a sustained period of time those things

can really make a difference because you do you actually interact with these people and and realize wait a minute the these aren't the crazed psychopaths that were told that they are these are actually just normal people that are actually helping us there is a hilarious complaint coming from Democrats and USA today same parent company is the Springfield news leader with a headline ice officers skipping masks at airport re-adniting debate of course the left has to figure out some reason to be upset out they tried it first establishing the narrative that it's a bad idea to have ice helping at the airports because they're going to start murdering people that didn't happen instead they were handing out water so then it's like look they're not wearing masks they're not wearing masks

because you still have it if you've been to the airport you see some of these left wing lunatics that are they still wear masks for COVID reasons and they at the same time have been demanding in fact this is one of the demands that Democrats have is that ice agents stop wearing masks while outtracking down drug traffickers human traffickers the reason of course that they have to wear masks are the same reason that you see a lot of military personnel and federales and south of the border wearing masks because the drug cartels seek them and their families out to torture and murder for the purposes of intimidation and we have that same issue unfortunately because of Biden's open border during the years that he was president that is something that imported itself into the United States to where you had some of these drug cartel leaders putting out hits on certain members of ice and border patrol but they

you know it's much more difficult to do if they're not so easily identifiable so in order to protect themselves and their families their wives their husbands their kids from being targeted they try to keep their identity during these operations as secret as possible the Democrats of course have been fighting against that once again on the side of in this case the drug cartels well now that these they're at the airport and they're not wearing masks and so this has a lot of Democrats asking questions a USA today interviewed one left-winger who said uh this was Seattle so of course she was wearing a mask noting I wear a mask for health protection ice isn't wearing mask for the same reason I wonder if they aren't feeling more empowered in that controlled environment more emboldened not to hide their identities so of course you know the

understanding trying to figure out okay now why are they not wearing masks now at the airport it has to be for evil purposes because ice is evil they're Nazis and so it's well they must feel safe in the airport it's a controlled environment that they can control so that that must be why they're not wearing them now of course none of that if you ask explain how that works makes any sense but there is a reason and the reason proves the point here they're not wearing masks in the airport because they're not there seeking out and arresting human traffickers that are in turn looking to identify them for the purposes of retribution ice agents that have been dispatched to the airports are not there executing search warrants

or looking to track down drug cartel members who in turn I'd wait if are able to identify them put a hit out on them or a kidnapping charge for their family members so they don't need to wear a mask if these people on the left had the ability to stop leading with hate and actually think through things they would realize it isn't that complicated USA today apparently can't figure this out either you know they write civil rights groups have been fighting to force immigration enforcement officers to show their faces during operations as a way of assuring accountability several states are now battling the White House in court over the bans the administration's prior insistence of the necessity of masks partially driving the ongoing shutdown by Democrats

Trump has ordered the ice agents to bolster numbers at the airport to help out and it's just confused we don't understand why is it that they're not wearing masks at the airport that this this tells you not only it's not only why are they not wearing them at the airport but why they have to wear them while tracking down these criminals this is not that complicated when their identification during an attempt to arrest some of the worst of the worst could lead to a hit on them or their family members then in order to prevent that from occurring they cover their face they try to hide their identity when they're not doing that like at the airport just trying to help people navigate through the airport on their trip to wherever it is

they're going they don't have that danger at hand so they don't need to wear the masks it's pretty straight up it's pretty obvious and it also demonstrates that the reasons that they do wear masks when they wear them are completely warranted springfields talk 101 I'm Nick taking away sir thank you I sure will springfield livestock marketing center they have a horse sale coming up this Friday starting at 5 p.m. they will sell off saddles first and then move on to the horses horses yes do you need a horse no well this one's not for you then if you want to check out some of the horses that will be available this Friday I recommend that you check out their Facebook page springfield livestock horse sale also if you are wanting to sell the consignment deadline is today at noon once again that horse sale will be this Friday at 5 p.m. at the springfield livestock marketing center and if you can't make it out but you really want to

to girl girl to boy that's you know sort of a big one right now and when it comes to election day I believe it was a leader went to somewhat of great lengths to note a day that's the day election day is not a week it's not a month like your birthday is one day election day is one day while they're debating over well what does election day actually even mean it's the day of the election that day there's another argument before the Supreme Court over known the al otrolato and it's a case challenging whether a former Trump administration's quote metering policy and it's essentially the remain in Mexico policy that prevents immigrants on the Mexican side of the US Mexican border from claiming asylum protections and whether that is a violation of immigration law now the law which is from 1999 allows an individual who quote this is law arrives in the United States

to apply for asylum status and be inspected by an immigration officer now what is the the challenge here is well what does it mean to say that you're in the United States and the left is arguing including of course the standard Supreme Court justices and their questions are leaning towards this the Contange Jackson Brown I think so to my or is the other one that well in could mean like not quite in but actually at the border so you're on the other side but you're at it that that's that's the same thing and it was I believe Alito again that just explained the very simple difference between the word at and in someone is at your front door is different than someone is in your house several of the justice is questioned at what point it can be determined that an immigrant quote arrives in the United States Justice Amy Coney Barrett specifically drilled into what the definition of arrival means quote what is the magic thing that

we're saying happens to make it so now someone arrives in the United States Barrett asked now Barrett has demonstrated that she sometimes have it's a difficulty grasping the human language this is not a difficult thing to understand are we really entertaining the notion that what are supposed to be the brightest minds on the Supreme Court don't know what it means to be in a place as opposed to at a place or outside a place I mean this is how the left now operates when the law is not on their side as it is written you just change the definition of the words so when you have a law that says if a migrant makes it into arrives in the United States they can begin this particular process and you want it to be so that they don't even have to be in the United States in order to have
