- 0:00Speaker 1: When you have millions of people that are coming into
- 0:02Speaker 1: the United States of America, millions and millions, you know
- 0:06Speaker 1: somebody's getting rich off of it. Right, The question is
- 0:10Speaker 1: who's making the money off of all the people that
- 0:13Speaker 1: are coming across the border. The first people to make
- 0:16Speaker 1: money are the cartels, the human traffickers, the smugglers that
- 0:20Speaker 1: get people across the southern border. They have clients now
- 0:24Speaker 1: from literally all over the world. But what happens when
- 0:28Speaker 1: that first big chunk of payments goes out and then
- 0:32Speaker 1: they make it across in the United States of America.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Who's getting paid? We now know a lot more when
- 0:37Speaker 1: you follow the money. There is a new report that
- 0:41Speaker 1: is coming out from Axios and this is what it says.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Texas nonprofits are getting massive border contracts now from the government.
- 0:52Speaker 2: They're getting paid at record.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Numbers, at record number of dollars after hiring Biden of official.
- 1:01Speaker 1: That's right, a Texas nonprofit that recently hired a Biden
- 1:06Speaker 1: transition official got a contract worth as much as five
- 1:12Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million dollars that's more than a half
- 1:15Speaker 1: a billion to help manage the influx of influx of
- 1:19Speaker 1: migrant children at the Southern border.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Why does this matter?
- 1:23Speaker 1: The contract is by far the largest ever awarded to
- 1:27Speaker 1: a group called Family Endeavors. It's potentially worth more than
- 1:31Speaker 1: twelve twelve times the group's most recently reported annual budget.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Let me say it again, this contract is potentially worth
- 1:41Speaker 1: more than twelve times the group Family endeavors most recent
- 1:46Speaker 1: annual operating budget, a sign of the demand that new
- 1:51Speaker 1: work will place on its operations. The no bid contract, yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 1: it was a no bid contract, meaning no one else
- 1:59Speaker 1: got a chance to even get the half of billion
- 2:01Speaker 1: dollars of your tax dollars. Is also the second largest
- 2:05Speaker 1: ever awarded by the agency overseeing the Migrant Children program.
- 2:10Speaker 1: The award also comes that the Biden administration rushes now
- 2:14Speaker 1: before the election to deal with a significant influx of
- 2:18Speaker 1: migrants at the southern border. This includes more than twenty
- 2:22Speaker 1: one thousand unaccompanied minors currently in government custody that we
- 2:28Speaker 1: know of now. Family Endeavors won the contract just months
- 2:32Speaker 1: after they hired a person by the name of Andrew Strait.
- 2:37Speaker 1: They hired Andrew as their senior director of Migrant Services
- 2:42Speaker 1: and Federal Affairs Now. This individual is a former official
- 2:47Speaker 1: at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement He previously advised the
- 2:52Speaker 1: Biden Harris transition team on Department of Homeland Security policy
- 2:57Speaker 1: and staffing matters. He also ran a consulting firm advising
- 3:03Speaker 1: companies on federal procurement practices that, according to his own
- 3:07Speaker 1: LinkedIn page, was specific expertise on agencies that include the
- 3:13Speaker 1: Administration for Children and Families. The Division of the Department
- 3:18Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services tasks with detailing and processing
- 3:23Speaker 1: child migrant specifically. Now this comes also as it's been
- 3:28Speaker 1: reported by The Washington Examiner that this individual's role at
- 3:34Speaker 1: Family Endeavors in the context of a eighty seven million
- 3:40Speaker 1: dollars Department of Homeland Security contract was awarded to the
- 3:45Speaker 1: group last month. Now I have more about this money,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but first I want to tell you real quick about
- 3:51Speaker 1: my friends at Freedom Gold. Gold has been hitting record
- 3:55Speaker 1: high after record high, and it's very simple. Why Because
- 3:59Speaker 1: the cost of good and services with inflation has skyrocketed,
- 4:03Speaker 1: and gold and silver is seen as a hedge against inflation.
- 4:08Speaker 1: And that is why so many not just in this
- 4:10Speaker 1: country but around the world are buying up gold record
- 4:14Speaker 1: rates right now. The other thing about gold and silver
- 4:18Speaker 1: is it's something that's never been worth nothing. You cannot
- 4:20Speaker 1: say that about currencies, whether it's in this country or
- 4:24Speaker 1: around the world, their buying power can fluctuate significantly, and
- 4:28Speaker 1: that is where gold and silver can help you protect
- 4:30Speaker 1: your hard earned dollars. You know how much it costs
- 4:33Speaker 1: to live now, how much it cost to rent or
- 4:35Speaker 1: buy a home, you know what's happening with interest rates,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and you know about the cost of just basic necessities
- 4:41Speaker 1: like food.
- 4:41Speaker 2: And energy costs.
- 4:43Speaker 1: That is why looking at gold and silver as a
- 4:46Speaker 1: hedge against those inflation rates is a great way to
- 4:50Speaker 1: protect your dollars. Now, there's one other thing I want
- 4:53Speaker 1: you to know about Freedom Gold USA. The number one
- 4:56Speaker 1: reason why I use them is because on average, they
- 4:58Speaker 1: charge on average, twenty five to thirty percent less than
- 5:02Speaker 1: most major gold and silver firms. That means literally you
- 5:06Speaker 1: get twenty five to thirty percent more gold and silver
- 5:09Speaker 1: for the same amount of money just by choosing this
- 5:13Speaker 1: incredible company. So take control of your financial future. Visit

- 5:31Speaker 1: five eight eight four three. Now back to this money. Now,
- 5:37Speaker 1: Family Endeavors knew what they were doing. They hired the
- 5:40Speaker 1: guy that was there that did this for the federal
- 5:43Speaker 1: government in the Biden administration, and they said, look, you
- 5:46Speaker 1: get us a big contract, you're going to get a
- 5:48Speaker 1: big fee.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That's how this works.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I go back to the Washington Examiner story saying, all
- 5:52Speaker 1: of a sudden, this guy shows up, he gets a
- 5:54Speaker 1: roll at Family Endeavors, and then bam, eighty seven million
- 5:57Speaker 1: in Department of Homeland Security contracts are the group last month.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But here's the other part. You need to understand.
- 6:03Speaker 1: ACF officials are also being very quiet about the work
- 6:07Speaker 1: they're doing with your tax dollars. In fact, they will
- 6:10Speaker 1: not respond for comment from anyone in the media at
- 6:13Speaker 1: this point. And the reason why is because of this ACF,
- 6:18Speaker 1: this organization that this guy works for, also contracted Family
- 6:22Speaker 1: Endeavors last month divide quote emergency intake and wrap around
- 6:27Speaker 1: care services at a temporary facility in Texas.
- 6:32Speaker 2: How do we know this?
- 6:33Speaker 1: According to federal procurement records, ACF has distributed now two
- 6:38Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five million dollars to the nonprofit under
- 6:42Speaker 1: the new contract, which is a maximum potential value of
- 6:46Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty million dollars. Now, this group, Family
- 6:50Speaker 1: Endeavors most recent publicly available annual tax filing covering the
- 6:55Speaker 1: calendar year of eighteen showed its annual budget for that
- 6:59Speaker 1: year was it's just forty three million. So you're telling
- 7:02Speaker 1: me now that a company that does this right had
- 7:05Speaker 1: forty three million for their annual budget gets an influx
- 7:09Speaker 1: of a half a billion dollars and I'm supposed to
- 7:11Speaker 1: not ask any questions.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Give me a break.
- 7:14Speaker 1: In fact, before last month, it had never received a
- 7:17Speaker 1: prime contract award from Health and Human Services, according to
- 7:22Speaker 1: a source familiar with Family Endeavors operations. They also said
- 7:26Speaker 1: it did provide staffing services at a migrant intake shelter
- 7:30Speaker 1: run by another HHS vendor, but they've never actually gotten
- 7:36Speaker 1: the big contract.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Well, that all changed other large.
- 7:40Speaker 1: By the way ACF contracts went to four profit firms
- 7:44Speaker 1: with more experience working on such large scale operations.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I'll give you an example of that.
- 7:49Speaker 1: The agency awarded more than three hundred and twenty million
- 7:52Speaker 1: dollars to a for profit company called Rapid Deployment, The
- 7:56Speaker 1: company whose CEO has been nicknamed the Master of Disaster
- 8:00Speaker 1: for the extensive relief work as firm is done. It's
- 8:03Speaker 1: also received nine figure Pentagon contracts to work on military
- 8:07Speaker 1: base camps as well. You compare that to the only
- 8:13Speaker 1: ACF contract larger than Family Endeavors, that was a seven
- 8:18Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen million dollar award to deployed resources last month,
- 8:23Speaker 1: of which two hundred and seventy three million has already
- 8:25Speaker 1: been obligated. That company also does extensive work for the
- 8:29Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department. So a
- 8:33Speaker 1: little known group gets a half billion dollar the second
- 8:36Speaker 1: biggest contract overall all because this Texas nonprofit got a
- 8:42Speaker 1: contract because they hired a Biden official who then got
- 8:45Speaker 1: them paid. And this goes back to what I said,
- 8:49Speaker 1: follow the money. Now, this isn't just some of the
- 8:54Speaker 1: money that is being spent. In fact, it's hardly any
- 8:58Speaker 1: of the money that's really being spent.
- 9:00Speaker 2: And I want you to understand this.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Over a half million hour contract, this is pennies in
- 9:06Speaker 1: a bucket of how much money the government spending on
- 9:09Speaker 1: your behalf of your tax dollars to take care of
- 9:12Speaker 1: illegal immigrants.
- 9:13Speaker 2: How do we know this?
- 9:14Speaker 1: Let me move to a journalist and independent journalist by
- 9:17Speaker 1: the name of Maddie Rally. Maddy has spent four months
- 9:22Speaker 1: investigating the web of nngo's facilitating the Biden administration's migrant crisis,
- 9:29Speaker 1: which they created, and they know how to stop it
- 9:31Speaker 1: if they wanted to. And these taxpayer funded groups are
- 9:35Speaker 1: now pulling in quote billions of dollars and lavishing themselves
- 9:40Speaker 1: with salaries and bonuses that nobody in the private sector
- 9:44Speaker 1: would dream of paying. Here is how they're cashing in,
- 9:47Speaker 1: she says. For example, there is a group called Endeavors, Inc.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It was awarded a one point three billion dollar grant
- 9:59Speaker 1: from the federal grid government to run a shelter for
- 10:02Speaker 1: unaccompanied minor children in Texas in Tescos, Texas, all right
- 10:08Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, they spent five hundred and thirty
- 10:11Speaker 1: three thousand dollars of your tax dollars on music therapy
- 10:15Speaker 1: and offered horticulture classes to the illegal immigrants that you
- 10:20Speaker 1: paid for that cost you five hundred and thirty three
- 10:23Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So how are the people involved in these
- 10:26Speaker 1: things getting paid? Global Refugees CEO, A former policy director
- 10:33Speaker 1: for the First Lady Michelle Obama, so her compensation increased
- 10:37Speaker 1: from two hundred and forty four thousand dollars in twenty
- 10:39Speaker 1: nineteen to all of a sudden more than a half
- 10:43Speaker 1: a million dollars in twenty twenty two. Southwest Key Program CEO,
- 10:48Speaker 1: a doctor, makes over one million, their chief strategists makes
- 10:53Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand, and the head of operations makes seven
- 10:56Speaker 1: hundred thousand.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Its total payroll was.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Four hundred and sixty five million of your tax dollars
- 11:03Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two alone. The NGO has been plagued
- 11:08Speaker 1: with issues by the way, including employees sexually assaulting migrant
- 11:14Speaker 1: children in its care. The report says, as more uncoming
- 11:19Speaker 1: children have crossed the border, the NGOs continues to expand
- 11:22Speaker 1: in size as well.
- 11:24Speaker 2: She reports Global Refuge.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Has seventy five employees on staff in nineteen and by
- 11:29Speaker 1: the end of this year they say they will now
- 11:31Speaker 1: have more you ready for this than seven hundred people
- 11:36Speaker 1: on staff As more of these uncoming miners continue to
- 11:40Speaker 1: come in. What the Left is understanding is they can
- 11:44Speaker 1: now get rich. The headline of her article exposing all
- 11:48Speaker 1: this is entitled nonprofits are making billions off the border crisis.
- 11:53Speaker 2: That is not a lie that is an accurate number.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Federal funding has turned the business of resettling migrant children
- 12:00Speaker 1: into a gold mine for a handful of select NGOs with.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Direct ties to the White House.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Although the federally funded Unincoming Children Program quote is responsible
- 12:14Speaker 1: for resettling uncoming migrant migrant miners who enter the US,
- 12:19Speaker 1: it delegates much of the task to non governmental organizations
- 12:24Speaker 1: called NGOs that run shelters and border states of Texas, Arizona,
- 12:28Speaker 1: and California.
- 12:30Speaker 2: How do you get to have that job.
- 12:32Speaker 1: You've got to be politically connected to the Biden crime family.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And with the recent massive influx of uncoming children a
- 12:38Speaker 1: record three hundred and thirty twenty twenty two, the last
- 12:41Speaker 1: year for which we have official stats, the caffers of
- 12:45Speaker 1: the NGOs are swelling, along with the salaries of everyone involved.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Charles Marino, former advisor to Janet Neapolitano, the Secretary of
- 12:54Speaker 1: the Department of Home and Security under Obama, said of
- 12:56Speaker 1: the NGOs quote, the amount of tax payers money that
- 13:01Speaker 1: they are getting is obscene.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Not only the.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Janet Neapolitano, the Secretary of the Department of Home and
- 13:07Speaker 1: Security under Obama.
- 13:08Speaker 2: So this isn't a.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Conservative Okay, this is Janet Napolitano, a hardcore lefty. The
- 13:16Speaker 1: exact quote from her is this, We're going to find
- 13:19Speaker 1: that the waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money will
- 13:23Speaker 1: rival what we saw with the COVID federal money. Now
- 13:28Speaker 1: we all know how bad the COVID federal money abuse was,
- 13:31Speaker 1: and it was hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions
- 13:34Speaker 1: and may end up even being over trillion dollars when
- 13:36Speaker 1: it's all said and done. And what Janet Napolitano, a liberal,
- 13:41Speaker 1: a loyalist to Obama, said, we are going to find
- 13:44Speaker 1: that the waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money will
- 13:47Speaker 1: rival what we saw with the COVID federal money. With
- 13:49Speaker 1: these endos, the Free Press, by the way, examined three
- 13:53Speaker 1: of the most prominent NGOs that have benefited Global Refuge,
- 13:58Speaker 1: Southwest Key Program and Endeavor Incs. These organizations have seen
- 14:03Speaker 1: their combined revenue grow from five hundred and ninety seven
- 14:06Speaker 1: million to nineteen to an astonishing two billion dollars in
- 14:12Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that's the last year for which federal
- 14:15Speaker 1: disclosure documents are available, and the CEOs of all three
- 14:19Speaker 1: of these quote nonprofits are reaping in more than five
- 14:23Speaker 1: hundred thousand each an annual compensation, with one of them,
- 14:28Speaker 1: the executive of Southwest Key, making more than one million dollars.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Some of the services that these NGOs provide are eyebrow raising.
- 14:40Speaker 1: The report says, for example, not only did Endeavors use
- 14:44Speaker 1: taxpayer funds to offer migrant children pet therapy. In twenty
- 14:50Speaker 1: twenty one alone, Endeavors paid Christy Merrill, a music therapist,
- 14:56Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty three thousand dollars. A music therapist
- 15:01Speaker 1: was paid with your tax dollars to I guess therapy
- 15:05Speaker 1: and do music with kids five hundred and thirty three
- 15:11Speaker 1: thousand dollars. An internal Endeavors PowerPoint obtained by the American
- 15:17Speaker 1: First Legal, an outfit founded by former Trump aide Stephen Miller,
- 15:21Speaker 1: shows that the nonprofit conducted one thousand, six hundred and
- 15:26Speaker 1: fifty six people plant interactions and two hundred and eighty
- 15:32Speaker 1: seven pet therapy sessions between.
- 15:35Speaker 2: April and twenty twenty one.
- 15:36Speaker 1: In March of twenty twenty three, so apparently that's how
- 15:40Speaker 1: you become a millionaire. Endeavors twenty twenty two federal disclosure
- 15:44Speaker 1: forms also showed that it paid five million dollars to
- 15:48Speaker 1: a company to provide fill in doctors and nurses, four
- 15:52Speaker 1: point six million for consulting services, and one point four
- 15:57Speaker 1: million to attend conferences, and another seven one thousand on lobbyists.
- 16:03Speaker 1: So your tax dours are then going into these groups,
- 16:06Speaker 1: who are then hiring the lobbyists to then make sure
- 16:08Speaker 1: that they get more of your tax dollars. In twenty
- 16:12Speaker 1: twenty one, the NGO shelled out eight million to hotel
- 16:16Speaker 1: management company that they apparently used to house migrants in
- 16:22Speaker 1: their hotels. I want to know who owns that and
- 16:24Speaker 1: how they're connected to the Democratic Party, because.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I guarantee you there's a connection.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Now, endeavors Okay, which gets ninety nine point six percent
- 16:34Speaker 1: of its revenue from the government, according the Federal Disclosure
- 16:37Speaker 1: Forms to climb to comment about the latest story of
- 16:40Speaker 1: this high level corruption and the no bid contracts. Now,
- 16:46Speaker 1: the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the
- 16:49Speaker 1: US Department of Health and Human Services, funds these nonprofits,
- 16:53Speaker 1: they say, through the Office of the Refugee Settlement and
- 16:56Speaker 1: its budget with your tax dours as swell from one
- 17:00Speaker 1: point eight billion in eighteen to six point three billion
- 17:04Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three they are expected this year to
- 17:08Speaker 1: spend at least seven point three billion, almost all of
- 17:12Speaker 1: which will be funneled to these NGOs and contractors who
- 17:15Speaker 1: are getting no big contracts because they're hiring the right
- 17:19Speaker 1: people who then get them paid. Let me also say
- 17:23Speaker 1: one other thing. I don't believe that this is the
- 17:26Speaker 1: end of the money trail. I think this is the beginning.
- 17:29Speaker 1: And I'm going to spend a lot of time digging
- 17:31Speaker 1: into this, and I'm going to keep you updated because
- 17:34Speaker 1: I have a feeling that there are other awards that
- 17:37Speaker 1: have gone to other NGOs that have direct ties to
- 17:40Speaker 1: the Biden crime family, that have been paid hundreds and
- 17:44Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, let me explain very
- 17:48Speaker 1: quickly why I say that. I say that because we
- 17:51Speaker 1: know how much money we're spending on illegal immigrants, and
- 17:56Speaker 1: so the money at some point, like it's got to
- 17:59Speaker 1: add up, and now it's adding up, and we're finding
- 18:01Speaker 1: out that it's not going to you know, American government,
- 18:07Speaker 1: you know, initiatives and workers right within our government. No,
- 18:10Speaker 1: they're lining the pockets of democratic activists, democratic donors, and
- 18:17Speaker 1: democratic businesses who are in on taking care of twenty
- 18:22Speaker 1: plus million illegal immigrants that are in this country.
- 18:26Speaker 2: That's what they're doing that. I mean, that's what this is.
- 18:29Speaker 1: That is the entire ballgame for them, is the more
- 18:33Speaker 1: that they bring in. Right, it's actually brilliant if you
- 18:36Speaker 1: think about it. You're bringing in millions of people you
- 18:39Speaker 1: got to take care of. So if you've got to
- 18:42Speaker 1: bring in millions of people right to take care of
- 18:45Speaker 1: them like you have to, right, you got to take
- 18:50Speaker 1: care of them, then somebody's got to get paid. And
- 18:53Speaker 1: we know how much money we've spent just on hotel
- 18:55Speaker 1: rooms alone, hundreds of millions of dollars. We know how
- 19:00Speaker 1: much we spent on things like cell phones and interpreters
- 19:07Speaker 1: and food and water. The list goes on and on
- 19:11Speaker 1: and on and on and on. So, as I said
- 19:15Speaker 1: earlier and I'll say it again, I think this is
- 19:17Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg.
- 19:18Speaker 2: And we're going to dig. So do not worry.
- 19:22Speaker 1: We're going to keep telling you about this and make
- 19:24Speaker 1: sure you share this podcast today on social media wherever
- 19:28Speaker 1: you are, because this is an important story that really, really,
- 19:31Speaker 1: really really needs to get out now. I also want
- 19:34Speaker 1: to get to something else that has happened, and it
- 19:37Speaker 1: deals with Israel. As you know, we talked about this,
- 19:39Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday's show. The President of the
- 19:43Speaker 1: United States America has completely turned its back on Israel
- 19:45Speaker 1: now and it's said to Israel that We're not gonna
- 19:48Speaker 1: basically give you what you need to protect and offend
- 19:50Speaker 1: yourself if you go after the terrorists of Hamas terras anymore.
- 19:55Speaker 1: The world has heard what Joe Biden has said. The
- 20:00Speaker 1: world now very very much understands that this is America
- 20:07Speaker 1: basically saying to Israel, stopped killing the terrorists that killed
- 20:11Speaker 1: jew and you're falling out of favor with us. And
- 20:15Speaker 1: now the rest of the world can flex their muscles,
- 20:17Speaker 1: those that hate America and also those that stand with
- 20:21Speaker 1: a terrorists.
- 20:21Speaker 2: So now let me explain why.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Within hours of the President coming out and warning Israel
- 20:28Speaker 1: not to go in to Rafa, we now have found
- 20:32Speaker 1: out and it's been admitted publicly that more than one
- 20:35Speaker 1: thousand Hamas terrorists received treatment in Turkish hospitals. Turkish president
- 20:44Speaker 1: confirmed on Monday that more than one thousand Hamas terrists
- 20:48Speaker 1: have received medical treatment in their hospitals across the nation
- 20:53Speaker 1: of Turkey. The president also refused of Turkey to admit
- 20:58Speaker 1: that Amas was a terrorist group, instead describing it as
- 21:03Speaker 1: a quote resistance movement. This greatly dismayed the Greek Prime minister,
- 21:11Speaker 1: who was meeting with the Turkish president and was there
- 21:16Speaker 1: to basically diffuse tensions between Greece and Turkey. The two
- 21:20Speaker 1: leaders were holding a joint press conference when the President
- 21:24Speaker 1: of Turkey revealed that they've been treating Hamas fighters for
- 21:27Speaker 1: their injuries, and when he said he was saddened, right
- 21:32Speaker 1: that was that this was happening, and said that he
- 21:37Speaker 1: you know, he quote continued to think of Hamas as
- 21:39Speaker 1: a terrorist organization, right this. I mean, you're up there
- 21:42Speaker 1: on stage and you've got Greece who's like, look, I'm
- 21:45Speaker 1: saddened by this Hamas a terrorist organization. He then said,
- 21:49Speaker 1: let's agree to disagree. Now, this was clearly done on purpose,
- 21:53Speaker 1: as a Greek prime minister and the Turkish president were
- 21:55Speaker 1: having this joint press conference. It also should be noted
- 22:01Speaker 1: the Turkey's president has no problem using the word terrorists
- 22:05Speaker 1: to describe extremists who oppose his government. He has no problem.
- 22:12Speaker 1: He and his top officials in fact, tend to describe
- 22:15Speaker 1: every arm Kurd in the Middle East as a terrorist,
- 22:19Speaker 1: insisting all of them are in league with the violent
- 22:25Speaker 1: separatists PKK party in Turkey, which they treat like terrorists,
- 22:31Speaker 1: including Turkish militias that were instrumental in helping Western powers
- 22:35Speaker 1: defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq. They treat them like
- 22:39Speaker 1: they are terrorists. Now, the Times of Israel noted that
- 22:43Speaker 1: HAMAS has maintained an office for their top level leadership
- 22:48Speaker 1: is I guess the best way to describe it in
- 22:51Speaker 1: Turkey since twenty eleven.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Now, why did they do that.
- 22:55Speaker 1: They did that because Turkey help broker in agreement for
- 22:58Speaker 1: the freedom of haptured Israeli soldiers at the time. Now,
- 23:03Speaker 1: the president of Turkey has been in power now for
- 23:06Speaker 1: two decades reportedly agreed to become quietly involved in the
- 23:11Speaker 1: negotiations after there was a personal appeal from one of
- 23:16Speaker 1: the Israeli soldiers' fathers. He loudly insisted that HAMAS should
- 23:21Speaker 1: not be treated as a terrorist organization quote unquote, even
- 23:24Speaker 1: after murdered, raped, burned, decapitated and kidnapped more than one
- 23:30Speaker 1: thy two hundred Israeli civilians on October the seventh, saying
- 23:34Speaker 1: this Hamas is not a terrorist organization, It's a group
- 23:38Speaker 1: of Muji Hadeen meaning holy warriors defending their lands, the
- 23:43Speaker 1: Turkish leader said, insisting that the Israelis were the real terrorists.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Like other apologists for the Hamas savages. The President of
- 23:52Speaker 1: Turkey said that Israel has no inherent right of self
- 23:55Speaker 1: defense that would justify its military response against the October
- 24:01Speaker 1: seventh attack. The Turkish leader has since compared the Israeli
- 24:05Speaker 1: Prime Minister at Yahoo to Adolf Hitler on several occasions,
- 24:10Speaker 1: claiming Israel's war in Gaza is an act of genocide
- 24:14Speaker 1: like the Holocaust. He also restricted trade with Israel in
- 24:19Speaker 1: April and halted its entirety in early May to protest
- 24:25Speaker 1: the war in Gaza. Turkey also said it would join
- 24:28Speaker 1: South African Africa's case of genocide against Israel at the
- 24:33Speaker 1: International Court of Justice known as the ICU. Well now,
- 24:38Speaker 1: after Joe Biden came out and said, we're not going
- 24:41Speaker 1: to be giving the artillery need the arms needed for
- 24:44Speaker 1: the offensive if they decided to go into Rafa to
- 24:47Speaker 1: kill the terrorists, because that's where they are. Well on Sunday,
- 24:52Speaker 1: Turkey decided to come out to the world complain that
- 24:54Speaker 1: the US and Europe were not doing enough to pressure
- 24:58Speaker 1: Israel into a ceasefire before it could beget its final
- 25:01Speaker 1: operations against Hamas. He once again assaulted Netan Yahoo as
- 25:07Speaker 1: a genocidal dictator who wants to attack the innocent people
- 25:10Speaker 1: in Rafa quote unquote, we saw that countries who lecture
- 25:14Speaker 1: us on human rights and freedoms at every opportunity openly
- 25:17Speaker 1: support those who massacre thirty five thousand gozzins, the Turkish
- 25:23Speaker 1: president said. We saw that those who said the right
- 25:26Speaker 1: to protest was sacred until yesterday can't tolerate demonstrations that
- 25:30Speaker 1: support Palestine, referring to American campuses. Apparently, he threw in
- 25:36Speaker 1: some other attacks at the US and quoted Hamas propaganda
- 25:40Speaker 1: on Gaza casualties, which have already been debunked. But it
- 25:44Speaker 1: doesn't seem to matter because now he's proud to say
- 25:48Speaker 1: that Turkish hospitals are there to treat Hamas terris, more
- 25:51Speaker 1: than a thousand of them. He did not offer details
- 25:54Speaker 1: on win or how this was done, but getting a
- 25:57Speaker 1: thousand injured Hamas fighters out of Gaza would be very difficult,
- 26:01Speaker 1: and gaining them the Turkey would also be a challenge.
- 26:04Speaker 1: So this means they did it, and they knew what
- 26:07Speaker 1: they were doing and they were planning it to Turkish sources,
- 26:10Speaker 1: by the way, have told Middle East I it's a
- 26:13Speaker 1: newer organization. On Monday that the quote President of Turkey
- 26:17Speaker 1: misspoke and there are a thousand Palaceinian civilians receiving treatment
- 26:22Speaker 1: in Turkish hospitals, not Hamas fighters. Walking it back after
- 26:28Speaker 1: he said it, obviously he knows exactly what he was saying,
- 26:31Speaker 1: and he wanted to make it clear that it was
- 26:33Speaker 1: Hamas that they are supporting. This is what happens when
- 26:37Speaker 1: a president of the United States of America becomes very weak. Okay,
- 26:43Speaker 1: that's what this is. When a president takes her hand
- 26:46Speaker 1: off of Israel, others react, and the Turkish president clearly
- 26:50Speaker 1: was taking the lead saying, okay, America is not going
- 26:54Speaker 1: to give them what they need. America is not a
- 26:56Speaker 1: great ally any longer. So now that we know what's
- 27:00Speaker 1: happening here, what we're gonna do is going to be amazing.
- 27:04Speaker 1: We're gonna get to flex our muscles not only against America,
- 27:08Speaker 1: but we'll get to flex our muscles even more against
- 27:11Speaker 1: Israel because Joe Biden is allowing us to never forget.
- 27:16Speaker 1: There are consequences when it comes to this, and there
- 27:20Speaker 1: are consequences that are still taking place because of how
- 27:23Speaker 1: we pulled out of Afghanistan, all of our foreign policies
- 27:28Speaker 1: started to unravel. Okay, all of it with Afghanistan full stop,
- 27:36Speaker 1: don't forget. Share this podcast with your family and friends.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Please write us a five star review if you wouldn't mind,
- 27:42Speaker 1: and we'll see you back here tomorrow
