License to Fail! Thousands of Illegals Driving Big Rigs w Questionable Licenses · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There has been a big issue that has come about
0:04
Speaker 1: that is now turning into an even bigger nightmare than
0:07
Speaker 1: what we realized, and that is the number of commercial
0:10
Speaker 1: driver's licenses that have been deliberately given out to illegal immigrants.
0:17
Speaker 1: We know it was deliberate because many of them receive
0:20
Speaker 1: their driver's license, their CDLs under and I'm quoting no
0:26
Speaker 1: name given, at least Dephonic serving New York's twenty first district,
0:33
Speaker 1: putting out this statement about what she has found out
0:36
Speaker 1: that is happening in New York State. And remember, if
0:39
Speaker 1: you get a CDL in New York, there's a very
0:42
Speaker 1: good chance that you're going to be driving that cargo
0:45
Speaker 1: around the country. So you may say, well, this is
0:49
Speaker 1: New York, it doesn't really affect me. It absolutely does,
0:53
Speaker 1: and we are witnessing it take lives of Americans all
0:57
Speaker 1: over the country. I want you to listen to her statement.
1:01
Speaker 1: She says, quote the worst governor in America. Hochel has
1:06
Speaker 1: certainly fallen a long way from her start in Buffalo
1:11
Speaker 1: when she opposed driver's licenses for illegals in Erie County
1:16
Speaker 1: Cleric's office. At every opportunity, the governor Hochel has turned
1:20
Speaker 1: her back on New Yorkers to bend the knee to
1:24
Speaker 1: the radical far left of the Democratic Party that puts
1:28
Speaker 1: illegals and criminals first and hard working lawbody New Yorkers last.
1:34
Speaker 1: The latest bombshell discovery is that the governor and her movement,
1:40
Speaker 1: Governor Hochel as a dangerous and irresponsible quote green light
1:46
Speaker 1: law that allows criminal illegal immigrants. I'm going to say
1:51
Speaker 1: that again, allows criminal illegal immigrants to be issued commercial
1:58
Speaker 1: driver's licenses, in some cases shockingly labeled no name given,
2:05
Speaker 1: allowing them to operate eighty thousand pound commercial vehicles across
2:11
Speaker 1: the country. That is the part of this that you
2:13
Speaker 1: need to understand. When there is lawlessness in New York,
2:17
Speaker 1: it can take your life wherever you're listening right now.
2:21
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, in a statement, Oklahoma's governor
2:25
Speaker 1: and law enforcement confirmed that multiple criminal illegals holding New
2:30
Speaker 1: York state CDLs were apprehended driving commercial trucks across state
2:37
Speaker 1: lines during a targeted ice operation. Now, this is an
2:41
Speaker 1: operation that would be damn near impossible to do in
2:45
Speaker 1: New York. That's why they had to do it in Oklahoma,
2:48
Speaker 1: where you have a governor that was willing to abide
2:51
Speaker 1: by the law and enforce the law. Back to her statement,
2:55
Speaker 1: she said, quote, this is exactly the danger that happens
2:59
Speaker 1: when are left democrats like Governor Hochel turned their states
3:03
Speaker 1: into sanctuary havens for illegals. Kathyochel's sanctuary green light law
3:10
Speaker 1: is not only a threat to New Yorkers, it is
3:12
Speaker 1: endangering families across America, which brings us back to what
3:17
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy had to say on the issuing of CDLs
3:22
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants. But first, I want to tell you
3:25
Speaker 1: about our friends over Patriot Mobile. Every so often, something
3:28
Speaker 1: happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
3:32
Speaker 1: We can't afford to take our rights for granted. We
3:35
Speaker 1: must draw a line in the sand, and our friends
3:38
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more
3:41
Speaker 1: than twelve years. The truth is there is only one
3:44
Speaker 1: provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans who
3:48
Speaker 1: believe freedom is worth fighting for, and that company is
3:51
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,
3:55
Speaker 1: they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is
3:59
Speaker 1: one of the only carriers offering premium access to all
4:04
Speaker 1: three major US Networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service
4:09
Speaker 1: that you can count on day after day. They also
4:12
Speaker 1: offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup
4:17
Speaker 1: in so much more, and switching has never been easier.
4:21
Speaker 1: You can activate in minutes on your phone from your
4:25
Speaker 1: home or your office, and you keep your same number.
4:27
Speaker 1: You've got now keep your same phone or upgrade to
4:30
Speaker 1: a new one. And this is where the magic happens.
4:33
Speaker 1: Every month, about five percent of your bill is given
4:36
Speaker 1: back to conservative causes at no extra cost to you
4:39
Speaker 1: that stand up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
4:42
Speaker 1: the rights of unborn children, and are wounded warriors and
4:46
Speaker 1: those that have fought for a country and wear a badge.
4:50
Speaker 1: So take a stand today and make a difference with
4:52
Speaker 1: every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
4:58
Speaker 1: or nine to seven to two page use the promo
5:01
Speaker 1: code ferguson for a free month of service as well.
5:05
Speaker 1: That's Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven
5:09
Speaker 1: to two Patriot and make the switch and make a
5:12
Speaker 1: difference with every call you make. I want to go
5:14
Speaker 1: back to what Sean Duffy had to say. He said
5:18
Speaker 1: it's time for the federal government to stand up to
5:22
Speaker 1: these illegals, and it's time for us to stand up
5:24
Speaker 1: to the radicals in the government. Those radicals in our
5:29
Speaker 1: government that have been handing out the CDLs like candy.
5:33
Speaker 1: Take a listen to what Secretary Duffy had to say.
5:36
Speaker 2: We have launched a nationwide audit of non domiciled CDLs
5:41
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of what we think is
5:43
Speaker 2: causing this crisis. We've heard from truckers and safety advocates
5:48
Speaker 2: and news reports that something was seriously wrong. It was
5:52
Speaker 2: alleged that the open border policies of the last administration
5:57
Speaker 2: has led to an exploitation of our nation's Truckee licensing system.
6:02
Speaker 2: So today I'm here to tell you after our audit
6:05
Speaker 2: that those reports, they're all true. What our audit has
6:09
Speaker 2: already discovered should anger every single American. So here's what
6:14
Speaker 2: we've learned. We just want to walk through it first.
6:17
Speaker 2: Our audit revealed a systemic breakdown among states to follow
6:21
Speaker 2: the law and issue licenses properly. States are failing to
6:26
Speaker 2: follow even the most basic procedures. We even uncovered widespread
6:30
Speaker 2: procedural airrors, computer programming flaws, and a gross lack of
6:35
Speaker 2: oversight in the states that issue CDLs. This means that
6:40
Speaker 2: thousands of licenses that should never have been issued actually
6:44
Speaker 2: were issued. States are issuing licenses that extend months and
6:49
Speaker 2: even years beyond a driver's lawful presence in the US,
6:53
Speaker 2: this is a direct incentive to stay in our country
6:57
Speaker 2: illegally beyond their off rise work permit. They have driver's licenses,
7:02
Speaker 2: so in some disturbing cases, they have failed to validate
7:05
Speaker 2: a driver's lawful presence before handing them a commercial license.
7:10
Speaker 2: It steeply disturbing. But even worse, our second finding was
7:15
Speaker 2: that the current federal regulations are allowing dangerous, unqualified drivers
7:21
Speaker 2: on American roadways. This means that even when the rules
7:25
Speaker 2: are being followed, dangerous individuals who shouldn't be near a
7:28
Speaker 2: big rig are getting behind the wheel and causing crashes
7:32
Speaker 2: on our roadways. Eligibility requirements are deeply flawed, and they're
7:37
Speaker 2: way too broad. They are simply not strong enough to
7:40
Speaker 2: prevent more of these horrific crashes from occurring in America.
7:45
Speaker 2: The system it's failed, and it's a national emergency. So
7:51
Speaker 2: the combination of a catastrophic failure of states to follow
7:55
Speaker 2: the law and a broken system has created an imminent
7:58
Speaker 2: hazard to a man travelers. That is why today I'm
8:02
Speaker 2: announcing two immediate major actions. Number one, we're issuing an
8:07
Speaker 2: emergency rule that fundamentally overhauls who is eligible for a
8:13
Speaker 2: non domicile CDL. These tighter federal standards they're going to
8:17
Speaker 2: keep Americans and families safe on our roadways. Now, this
8:22
Speaker 2: is not a proposal. This is a final rule and
8:26
Speaker 2: it is effective immediately. Jesse's going to go through those
8:30
Speaker 2: details and just a little bit, but here's the bottom line.
8:35
Speaker 2: Non citizens will not be eligible for a CDL unless
8:39
Speaker 2: they meet a much stricter set of rules.
8:44
Speaker 1: It is insane, as you just heard the Transportation secretaries
8:49
Speaker 1: say that states are not only issuing CDLs to people
8:52
Speaker 1: who are in our country illegally, but thousands of licenses
8:56
Speaker 1: are issued that should never have been issued. Gavin Newsom's
8:59
Speaker 1: California is he describes the worst offender, and he said,
9:03
Speaker 1: we must stop this, even though so many of these
9:06
Speaker 1: states are just handing them out like candy. Many of
9:09
Speaker 1: them can't even speak English or read the signs on
9:13
Speaker 1: the roadways. So what does he say about how we're
9:17
Speaker 1: going to stop it? Listen carefully.
9:20
Speaker 2: Second, all states must immediately pause the issuance of non
9:25
Speaker 2: domicileed CDLs until they can comply with our new rules.
9:31
Speaker 2: My message it's very simple, get into compliance now, or
9:38
Speaker 2: we'll pull funding and we'll force you into compliance. Nowhere
9:42
Speaker 2: in the country have we found a more egregious licensing
9:45
Speaker 2: situation than in the state of California. That's why the
9:50
Speaker 2: second action we're announcing today, it's an additional enforcement action
9:55
Speaker 2: against California. So for two weeks, FMCSA investigations were on
10:00
Speaker 2: site in California actually looking at their records. So we
10:04
Speaker 2: took a random sample. Investigators found that more than one
10:08
Speaker 2: in four non domiciled CDLs were issued in direct violation
10:13
Speaker 2: of federal safety standards. So let's just put that another way,
10:18
Speaker 2: over twenty five percent of these licenses they were issued illegally.
10:25
Speaker 1: They were issued illegally. This is what anarchy literally looks
10:33
Speaker 1: like on our roadways. You go through the whole list
10:37
Speaker 1: of states that are not following procedures. Eligibility requirements are
10:41
Speaker 1: literally a joke, no name given you got. California is
10:45
Speaker 1: the worst defender of all and states just handing them
10:48
Speaker 1: out like candy to people that they know not only
10:51
Speaker 1: are in this country illegally, but our criminals have criminal records.
10:58
Speaker 1: You want to talk about putting illegal immigrants to the
11:00
Speaker 1: head of American citizens, this is the definition of that. Now.
11:07
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy, by the way, was not done with what
11:10
Speaker 1: he had to say in that initial press conference. They
11:12
Speaker 1: then got even more information about the corruption and how
11:17
Speaker 1: many illegal drivers are on the roadways as well as
11:21
Speaker 1: how many they're having to pull off the streets. Right now,
11:25
Speaker 1: here is more of what Seawn Duffy had to say
11:27
Speaker 1: about that on Fox News Channel.
11:30
Speaker 3: You do, though, have access to a budget, mister secretary,
11:33
Speaker 3: and that's something you discussed with us a few months
11:35
Speaker 3: ago here in Dallas, and that is these states, whether
11:38
Speaker 3: it be New York or California or Illinois, those were
11:41
Speaker 3: three states mentioned by DHS Secretary. No, these states need
11:45
Speaker 3: federal highway transportation funds. Now, this was famously used in
11:49
Speaker 3: our past to convert all states to a drinking age
11:52
Speaker 3: of twenty one. You've talked about this. What can you
11:55
Speaker 3: do to deny funds to, for example, Gavin Newsom in
11:59
Speaker 3: the state of Californi If they continue to issue CDLs
12:02
Speaker 3: to people who should not be on our highways.
12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, so those states that don't enforce our English proficiency
12:08
Speaker 2: rules we can pull money from. So I already pulled
12:10
Speaker 2: forty million dollars from the Avenue sum But now we
12:13
Speaker 2: look at the commercial driver's license that they issue. We
12:16
Speaker 2: are doing a review right now. We're supposed to do
12:19
Speaker 2: that lawfully, and we are doing it. But I anticipate
12:21
Speaker 2: that one hundred and sixty million dollars will be pulled
12:23
Speaker 2: from the State of California. And that's just trunch one.
12:26
Speaker 2: That's only four percent of the money that they get
12:27
Speaker 2: from us. We'll go on to another four percent after that,
12:30
Speaker 2: and another four percent after that event. But if it
12:33
Speaker 2: doesn't get rectified by the State of California and other
12:36
Speaker 2: huge violators other states, we're going to pull their ability
12:39
Speaker 2: to actually issue a CDL. You can't issue a commercial
12:43
Speaker 2: driver's license any longer. We're going to go after the
12:45
Speaker 2: schools that don't test these drivers to make sure they're
12:48
Speaker 2: proficiently equipped to operate these big rigs.
12:50
Speaker 4: In our roads.
12:51
Speaker 2: We're going to go after them. We're going to go
12:52
Speaker 2: after every link in the chain that's allowing us to happen,
12:56
Speaker 2: because I mean, you play these clips on your show,
12:57
Speaker 2: Will It is horrific. Mom and dad out with their
13:01
Speaker 2: kids on a Sunday afternoon and they're getting rear ended
13:03
Speaker 2: by a semi driver who's not paying attention. You have
13:05
Speaker 2: a guy driving a semi without pants on the stories
13:09
Speaker 2: are I think would shock the conscience of most Americans.
13:12
Speaker 2: These people should never be on American roads.
13:15
Speaker 1: These people should never be on American roads. He's absolutely right.
13:20
Speaker 1: So how did we get to a point where we're
13:22
Speaker 1: allowing this to happen? This all goes back to Democrats
13:27
Speaker 1: trying to fundamentally change this country. And when you are
13:31
Speaker 1: announcing that there are two hundred thousand non citizens with
13:37
Speaker 1: CDL drivers that are on our roads, putting our lives
13:42
Speaker 1: at risk, causing wrecks, not speaking English, cannot read the
13:47
Speaker 1: road signs, it's unconscionable. Sean Duffy also saying we need
13:52
Speaker 1: to set up an eight hundred number where truckers can
13:55
Speaker 1: call in their tips and be able to stay anonymous
13:59
Speaker 1: because they see this happening. What does the left say
14:03
Speaker 1: about this? They're furious at the idea. They can't believe
14:06
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy would actually say this. Aren't these the same
14:09
Speaker 1: Democrats that had lines set up during COVID to where
14:13
Speaker 1: you could spy on your neighbor and shut them down
14:16
Speaker 1: if they were outside or walking or gathering or anything
14:19
Speaker 1: like that. Am I wrong? Now? The other question is
14:23
Speaker 1: how do you police this when you have so many
14:25
Speaker 1: sanctuary states, for example, like Illinois or New York. Is
14:29
Speaker 1: it going to be that every red state has got
14:31
Speaker 1: to set up truck inspections at their borders and refuse
14:34
Speaker 1: entry by illegals with California CDLs because they know they
14:39
Speaker 1: were giving these CDs out to illegal immigrants. They knew
14:41
Speaker 1: that they couldn't read the signs on our roadways, many
14:44
Speaker 1: of them that they had no name given. How bad
14:47
Speaker 1: is it? Well, here's some more data on what we
14:49
Speaker 1: found out about Gavin Newsom's California.
14:51
Speaker 4: A federal audit found California had issued sixty two thousand
14:55
Speaker 4: CDs drivers who entered illegally john who do not have
14:58
Speaker 4: a permanent legal status as required by the FEDS. California
15:02
Speaker 4: sanctuary laws prohibit asking applicants their immigration status. Governor Newsom said,
15:07
Speaker 4: there's not a problem back to you.
15:09
Speaker 1: So in California, they deliberately do not ask you deliberately
15:16
Speaker 1: if you are an illegal imit. They're like, no, we
15:18
Speaker 1: can't ask you that. We can't ask you that question
15:20
Speaker 1: at all. No, wait, wait, it's something we're not allowed
15:23
Speaker 1: to do. Why would you have a rule that dumb.
15:26
Speaker 1: There's only one reason. The reason why they would have
15:29
Speaker 1: a rule that dumb is because it's being done by design.
15:34
Speaker 1: It is all being done by design. They wanted this
15:39
Speaker 1: to happen. They wanted to fundamentally change this country. They
15:43
Speaker 1: wanted to give illegal immigrants our roadways. They didn't care
15:47
Speaker 1: if people were going to die, because if they did care,
15:51
Speaker 1: they would have said, hey, you don't give out licenses
15:53
Speaker 1: to people that can't speak English. You don't give out
15:56
Speaker 1: licenses people that can't even read basic stop signs or
16:00
Speaker 1: merging or yielding or whatever those signs are. We're not
16:04
Speaker 1: going to put people's lives at risk. That's what a
16:06
Speaker 1: sane or normal person would do. But that's not what
16:10
Speaker 1: they did, not even close. Instead, they said, yeah, we
16:14
Speaker 1: don't care, bring them in. Now. You may be shocked
16:17
Speaker 1: by this and think I can't believe the Democratic Party
16:20
Speaker 1: would do this. Well, they're the ones that sent forkliffs
16:23
Speaker 1: down to the border to raise up Bob wire to
16:25
Speaker 1: allow more illegal immigrants into America in Texas. They're the
16:31
Speaker 1: same ones that knew that people on the terrace watch
16:33
Speaker 1: lists were coming into America and they didn't care and
16:37
Speaker 1: they didn't try to stop it. So what is going
16:41
Speaker 1: to happen next? I don't know. What I do know
16:44
Speaker 1: is Sean Duffy and others are trying to fix it.
16:47
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy saying this to Sean Hannity about the problem.
16:51
Speaker 2: What else besides defunding these states is available to you
16:55
Speaker 2: to prevent more of this from happening?
16:59
Speaker 1: How is that not eighty?
17:00
Speaker 2: So specifically regard well, in regard to our rules, I
17:03
Speaker 2: already took forty million dollars from the state of California.
17:06
Speaker 2: I'm doing a quick review of their lack of compliance
17:09
Speaker 2: for our rules of the ability, and I'm going to
17:13
Speaker 2: pull almost another one hundred and sixty million dollars. And
17:16
Speaker 2: then I have the ability for California to say, listen,
17:19
Speaker 2: you don't follow any of these rules that keep Americans safe,
17:22
Speaker 2: We're going to revoke your ability to issue a commercial
17:24
Speaker 2: driver's license. We have to use every tool in the
17:26
Speaker 2: toolbox to fight back and push back. But Donald Trump
17:30
Speaker 2: has said this many times. We have to find the funding,
17:33
Speaker 2: who's supporting, who's funding all of these organizations with the
17:38
Speaker 2: ICE tracker, with these protests, we should know what radical
17:43
Speaker 2: left wing billionaires are funneling this radicalism on our streets
17:46
Speaker 2: and again not keeping basic Americans straight. And if you
17:49
Speaker 2: don't think that the American people believe in what Donald
17:51
Speaker 2: Trump is doing, we had an election, he won the
17:54
Speaker 2: popular vote, he won the seven key swing states. America
17:59
Speaker 2: wants us to make sure we get illegals out of
18:01
Speaker 2: the country, and you do that by way of ice
18:04
Speaker 2: and aggressive action by Christinome.
18:06
Speaker 1: Kudos to her.
18:07
Speaker 2: She has been relentless in her effort, regardless of what
18:11
Speaker 2: her agents are being thrown. They're going into the hardest places,
18:15
Speaker 2: whether la or Chicago or New York, and they're arresting
18:18
Speaker 2: the bad people that are hurting American citizens. And that's
18:21
Speaker 2: what our country voted for with President Trump.
18:24
Speaker 1: So it's all about the funding. Follow the funding. And
18:28
Speaker 1: what we're witnessing right now is the Trump administration is saying,
18:32
Speaker 1: you've been giving these out You've been giving out these
18:35
Speaker 1: CDLs to illegals literally as no name given, not checking
18:42
Speaker 1: to see if they're criminals, and with the Republican states
18:45
Speaker 1: like Oklahoma stating they have already apprehended one hundred and
18:49
Speaker 1: twenty five illegals with these IDs solely from California. This
18:56
Speaker 1: is putting people's lives at risk. And so the California
19:00
Speaker 1: governor others, you either fix the rampant illegal CDL issue
19:04
Speaker 1: or you lose funding. Is that unfair? No, what is
19:09
Speaker 1: unfair is the fact that Governor Knewsom gave out more
19:11
Speaker 1: than sixty two thousand commercial driver's licenses to I legal
19:15
Speaker 1: immigrants and we don't know how many of them are
19:18
Speaker 1: in this country with criminal records. It's a disgusting response.
19:23
Speaker 1: By the way, from California, Sean Duffy saying, no word
19:28
Speaker 1: from the California governor, but his staff minions run to
19:31
Speaker 1: x to deflect from their state's gross incompetence. You want
19:35
Speaker 1: a fact, Governor, here's one California issue, twenty five percent
19:40
Speaker 1: of the state's non domiciled CDLs illegally, and Sewn Duffy's
19:47
Speaker 1: saying in this fix this problem or lose funding. It's
19:51
Speaker 1: that simple. So there are two different Americas right now.
19:56
Speaker 1: There's one where Democrats are doing everything they can to
19:59
Speaker 1: undermine our way of life. They're trying to give illegal
20:02
Speaker 1: immigrants the ability to drive are eighteen wheelers to get
20:07
Speaker 1: these commercial driver's licenses and replace American workers by the way,
20:12
Speaker 1: and putting our lives at risk. And then there's a
20:15
Speaker 1: Trump administration doing everything they can to protect Americans and
20:21
Speaker 1: get these illegal immigrants off the roadways. One other side note,
20:27
Speaker 1: Chinese illegal immigrants are obtaining commercial driver's licenses and landing
20:32
Speaker 1: jobs in the US trucking industry with support from the
20:35
Speaker 1: Chinese government and a linked network. We've just found out
20:40
Speaker 1: we also know these illegal truckers are accessing highly sensitive businesses,
20:45
Speaker 1: including government contractors. Just think about that. I also want
20:52
Speaker 1: you to hear what Christy Gnaoam is saying about this.
20:54
Speaker 1: Is she's saying that the government's cracking down. It's not
20:57
Speaker 1: just the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, but now this is
21:01
Speaker 1: a homeland security issue. And here is what she'd has
21:05
Speaker 1: said about Operation mid Way Blitz in Indiana that has
21:10
Speaker 1: led to a massive amount of arrests.
21:14
Speaker 5: Now through our two eighty seven g partnership that we
21:16
Speaker 5: have with the State of Indiana, we have run an
21:19
Speaker 5: operation recently which has allowed to hundreds of arrests that
21:23
Speaker 5: has brought people in that are breaking our laws. Through
21:25
Speaker 5: that partnership, two hundred and twenty three illegal aliens have
21:29
Speaker 5: been arrested and taken off of our roads. Of those,
21:32
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty six of them were drivers, That
21:35
Speaker 5: includes forty six semi truck drivers and another eighty two
21:40
Speaker 5: of them that were either box trucks, buses, moving vans,
21:44
Speaker 5: vehicles such as that. The CDLs that were issued to
21:48
Speaker 5: those individuals were issued from over a dozen different states.
21:52
Speaker 5: Many of those individuals could have been licensed in a
21:55
Speaker 5: state somewhere and received their CDL in another state, but
21:58
Speaker 5: overwhelmingly these individuals have come from sanctuary states such as California,
22:04
Speaker 5: in Illinois and New York. If you are here driving
22:08
Speaker 5: on our streets illegally and our highways, you are endangering
22:11
Speaker 5: our citizens and your days are number numbered. I want
22:15
Speaker 5: to thank Secretary Sean Duffy from the Department of Transportation
22:18
Speaker 5: for all of his work too. You've seen him focus
22:21
Speaker 5: on the effort to get these individuals off of our streets,
22:24
Speaker 5: and I want to thank him for doing that and
22:26
Speaker 5: implementing new policies and regulations that will keep our citizens safe.
22:30
Speaker 1: Now It's clear that Christy Nome and Sewn Duffy and
22:33
Speaker 1: the entire Trump administration are focusing on this. But there's
22:36
Speaker 1: also another aspect to this, and it deals with China,
22:38
Speaker 1: which I mentioned earlier, and I want to give you
22:41
Speaker 1: more background on this story. Chinese illegal immigrants are now
22:45
Speaker 1: obtaining commercial drivers' licenses CDLs and they're landing jobs and
22:49
Speaker 1: the US trucking industry. How they're doing it is with
22:53
Speaker 1: support from a Chinese government link network. The Daily Caller
22:58
Speaker 1: News Foundation investigation is discovered. The Chinese American Truckers Organization USA, Inc.
23:06
Speaker 1: Is a New York based nonprofit trade organization registered as
23:11
Speaker 1: a five oh one C six that has allegedly helped
23:14
Speaker 1: over a thousand Chinese students obtained CDLs and has a
23:19
Speaker 1: one hundred percent pass rate according to its business filings,
23:24
Speaker 1: social media posts and the website. Videos posts on social
23:28
Speaker 1: media by an individual who crossed the US Southern border
23:31
Speaker 1: illegally shows they were able to rapidly obtain California CDL
23:38
Speaker 1: after taking courses taught by the Catou instructors. Again, that's
23:45
Speaker 1: the Chinese American Trucker Organization USA Inc. The public safety
23:51
Speaker 1: concern presented by truckers with unknown criminal backgrounds and driving records.
23:57
Speaker 1: Is compounded by the Chinese American True Workers Organization's board
24:01
Speaker 1: chairwoman Jang Hong, who has held leadership roles within organizations
24:07
Speaker 1: operating as arms of the Chinese government and a Chinese
24:12
Speaker 1: Communist Party influence known as the CCP, as well as
24:16
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies called the United Front Work Department the UFWD.
24:24
Speaker 1: According to the Daily Caller Foundation, quote, no way American
24:29
Speaker 1: citizens voted for the California gateway for illegal immigrants to
24:34
Speaker 1: operate heavy vehicles throughout America. That of itself is a
24:38
Speaker 1: public safety and homeland security concern. That's what Steve Yates,
24:43
Speaker 1: a senior research fellow for China National security Policies at
24:47
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, said to The Daily Caller Foundation with
24:51
Speaker 1: their investigation, quote, having a large Chinese Communist Party tied
24:57
Speaker 1: network further train, certify, and place their illegal immigrants throughout
25:05
Speaker 1: a vital surface of shipping routes, urban rule, and interstate
25:11
Speaker 1: elevates national security risks At a time of high tension,
25:16
Speaker 1: crisis or conflict with the CCP. What confidence could we
25:20
Speaker 1: have this network could not and would not use it
25:23
Speaker 1: against us. Again, this is a very important question. Chinese
25:29
Speaker 1: social media posts also show that the Chinese American Trucker
25:32
Speaker 1: Association instructors teach the students about the trucking industry inside
25:38
Speaker 1: a New York office of Red Apple Employment Agency, which
25:42
Speaker 1: is also led by Jang and helps Chinese nationals both
25:48
Speaker 1: with and without proper status fine work. They say for
25:53
Speaker 1: eighty tw one hundred dollars per job placements. Again this
25:57
Speaker 1: coming from the Wall Street Journal. Now, while the Daily
26:00
Speaker 1: Caller Foundation found quote no New York businesses filing for
26:05
Speaker 1: Red Apple Employment Agency, the agency's office displays signs featuring
26:11
Speaker 1: both the Chinese American Truckers Group and its name, and
26:16
Speaker 1: videos posted by them as well on Chinese social media. Now,
26:21
Speaker 1: this organization and its members have also taught truck driving
26:26
Speaker 1: courses at seven CDL driving schools at Manassas, Virginia. Videos
26:31
Speaker 1: within posts of these individuals show the driving school shares
26:37
Speaker 1: its address with the trucking company the Jang owns called
26:41
Speaker 1: Red Apple Enterprises, Inc. Again, this is all according to
26:44
Speaker 1: the business filings and the seven CDO websites. The driving
26:48
Speaker 1: school where I'm studying has trained over one thousand Chinese students,
26:51
Speaker 1: one poster says, and not one has felled so far.
26:56
Speaker 1: That's what one man wrote in September of twenty twenty four,
27:00
Speaker 1: posts a video featuring the instructors at their driving schools
27:04
Speaker 1: and saying quote, experienced students can pass in just one week,
27:09
Speaker 1: while those with no driving experience pass in about a month.
27:13
Speaker 1: This account, by the way that posts this, is operated
27:16
Speaker 1: by a Chinese national who traveled up from South Africa
27:20
Speaker 1: and Central America into North America before crossing the US
27:23
Speaker 1: Southern border in June of twenty twenty three illegally. The
27:28
Speaker 1: owner of the count has since referred to himself as
27:30
Speaker 1: someone who walked the line, which is a euphanism for
27:34
Speaker 1: illegal migration out of China. A senior research pharaoh at
27:40
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation Center for Border Security and Immigration testified
27:44
Speaker 1: on this during a May twenty twenty four hearing held
27:48
Speaker 1: by the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Subcommittee
27:51
Speaker 1: on Oversight, Investigations and Accountability. So this was all pre
27:56
Speaker 1: planned by the Chinese Communist Party. We also know is
28:01
Speaker 1: that roughly eight point five million illegal aliens were encountered
28:05
Speaker 1: at the US Southern border during the Biden administration alone,
28:09
Speaker 1: including more than one hundred and eighty two thousand Chinese
28:12
Speaker 1: nationals from the fiscal years twenty twenty one through twenty
28:16
Speaker 1: twenty four. That is what a spokeswoman for the Customs
28:19
Speaker 1: and Border Protection told the Daily Caller Foundation for this expose.
28:25
Speaker 1: Now we also know that the account of this individual
28:28
Speaker 1: that I just named also featured videos detailing how he
28:32
Speaker 1: passed the CDL test, had seven CDL driving school and
28:37
Speaker 1: ultimately obtained CDL qualifications in less than two months after
28:42
Speaker 1: first announcing he'd received a California driver's license as an
28:46
Speaker 1: illegal in August of twenty twenty four. More recent posts
28:51
Speaker 1: by the individual show a driving coach bus with identification
28:55
Speaker 1: numbers revealing his employer to be NC Transfer, Inc. Which
28:59
Speaker 1: is branches in North Carolina, New York, according to business filings.
29:03
Speaker 1: The Trump administration is now ramping up the scrutiny of
29:07
Speaker 1: the trucking industry following a deadly August twenty twenty five
29:11
Speaker 1: crash in Florida involving an legal immigrant truck driver with
29:15
Speaker 1: a California cel. According to the Department of Homelanned Security,
29:19
Speaker 1: the truck driver's been charged with three counts of a
29:21
Speaker 1: hicular homicide and a preliminary Department of Transportation investigation allegedly
29:27
Speaker 1: discovered he quote did not speak English. I would say
29:32
Speaker 1: just the driver alone is not scary enough on the
29:35
Speaker 1: national security front. That is what a fifteen year veteran
29:39
Speaker 1: of the trucking industry said, saying, quote, these guys are
29:43
Speaker 1: here already, and they're already operating. And it doesn't matter
29:47
Speaker 1: how many of these trucks you catch or how many
29:49
Speaker 1: of these drivers you shut down. They're just going to
29:52
Speaker 1: get hired somewhere else until they start going after the
29:56
Speaker 1: companies and the owners of these companies and shutting them
30:00
Speaker 1: down and preventing them from coming back to work. So
30:03
Speaker 1: the other question you have to ask yourself is how
30:06
Speaker 1: did China get this much influence? Was it because of
30:09
Speaker 1: the bribes that the in essence paid to the Biden
30:12
Speaker 1: crime family. The money that was coming into their family
30:15
Speaker 1: from China and bad actors was through the roof. But
30:18
Speaker 1: you got to a us ask yourself this question. How
30:21
Speaker 1: is Governor Newsom just getting away with this and not
30:24
Speaker 1: being held accountable for it. We know that it's clear
30:27
Speaker 1: that the Chinese American Trucker Association is filled and infiltrated
30:32
Speaker 1: with foreign actors. We know that the Chinese Commis Party
30:36
Speaker 1: is behind it and advocating for this. We know that
30:39
Speaker 1: the woman who's the chairwoman of the organization served as
30:43
Speaker 1: an official in multiple organizations advancing Chinese influence and intelligence
30:47
Speaker 1: efforts in the US, including one entity that has held
30:52
Speaker 1: meetings in the New York office shared with the trucking
30:56
Speaker 1: industry and read Apple employment, and all of the is
31:00
Speaker 1: now public knowledge. Now among other Chinese government led and
31:04
Speaker 1: tied leadership positions, the website of a New York nonprofit
31:09
Speaker 1: called the American General Chamber of Commerce identifies the same
31:14
Speaker 1: woman that's running this group as its deputy chairwoman, and
31:19
Speaker 1: they operate a bunch of provisional departments of commerce for
31:23
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. So not only are we not
31:27
Speaker 1: safe on our roadways, but there's a very good chance
31:30
Speaker 1: that there's an entire fleet of Chinese nationals that are
31:35
Speaker 1: being run by the Chinese Communist government who know our
31:40
Speaker 1: secrets of our roadways, whether they're major cities or rural areas.
31:46
Speaker 1: And why is that a problem. I think you and
31:49
Speaker 1: I both know because China could do major harm to
31:53
Speaker 1: this country using massive eighteen wheelers and could literally shut
31:59
Speaker 1: down commerce as well. Don't forget to share this podcast,
