Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: It is a story that has not gotten a lot
- 0:03Speaker 1: of attention, a story that is incredibly important about our
- 0:07Speaker 1: open southern border, and a story that involves former President
- 0:10Speaker 1: George W. Bush. Why is it that the media really
- 0:14Speaker 1: hasn't talked about this much? Because obviously we had the
- 0:18Speaker 1: horrific shooting in Texas in that school. We've had other
- 0:23Speaker 1: issues they've been able to talk about, but this is
- 0:26Speaker 1: an issue that is an issue they wanted to avoid.
- 0:30Speaker 1: It brings up the problem with an open southern border.
- 0:34Speaker 1: We know already this year that twice the population of
- 0:39Speaker 1: Miami has come across the border illegally and not been apprehended.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Twice the population of Miami. In fact, more people have
- 0:49Speaker 1: come across the southern border and been successful. We're not
- 0:51Speaker 1: kind of the ones that have been sent back. There
- 0:54Speaker 1: have been more people that have come across the border
- 0:56Speaker 1: so far this year than five different states in America
- 1:00Speaker 1: as entire populations. But first, I want to take a

- 2:47Speaker 1: out this week and has said that there was an
- 2:51Speaker 1: assassination plot attempt against the President United States of America,
- 2:55Speaker 1: George W. Bush, by a man who was in the
- 2:58Speaker 1: interior of our country and who bragged about bringing in
- 3:03Speaker 1: terrorists to America. When NBC News finally put it on
- 3:08Speaker 1: their online website, this is what they said. This wasn't
- 3:12Speaker 1: actually on the air at NBC News, No, No No, this
- 3:15Speaker 1: was this was at their online streaming service. That's how
- 3:19Speaker 1: much they wanted to bury the story because they knew
- 3:21Speaker 1: it would bring up massive problems for the Democrats and
- 3:24Speaker 1: the left when it comes to defending an open border. Now,
- 3:28Speaker 1: NBC News has just confirmed reports of a foiled plot
- 3:31Speaker 1: by an alleged ISIS operative to assassinate former President George W. Bush.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I want to get right to NBC News national security
- 3:38Speaker 1: correspondent Ken Delaney and who's been tracking this from DC
- 3:41Speaker 1: for US. So, Ken, what do we know? Well, Aaron,
- 3:45Speaker 1: this involves an Iraqi man who is in the country,
- 3:48Speaker 1: is in Columbus, Ohio, and has claimed asylum. He came
- 3:52Speaker 1: on the FBI's radar because they thought he was running
- 3:54Speaker 1: a human smuggling operation. It's important to stress that the
- 3:59Speaker 1: FBI was inside this alleged plot right from the beginning.
- 4:03Speaker 1: They had human sources. The document that we're looking at
- 4:06Speaker 1: is actually a warrant related to a cell phone owned
- 4:11Speaker 1: by this target. His name is Shihad Ahmed Shihad. But
- 4:16Speaker 1: according to this document, this man was attempting to smuggle
- 4:21Speaker 1: for Iraqis inside the United States who would help him
- 4:25Speaker 1: murder former President George W. Bush. And at one point,
- 4:28Speaker 1: the document says Shihad actually traveled to Texas and went
- 4:31Speaker 1: to the address of the former president and took some
- 4:34Speaker 1: cell phone video. But again, the FBI was monitoring this
- 4:37Speaker 1: the entire time. This document actually was inadvertently unsealed. It
- 4:42Speaker 1: became briefly public. It's now been sealed again. So there's
- 4:46Speaker 1: some suggestion there that this was an ongoing FBI investigation.
- 4:50Speaker 1: They weren't ready to make this public because there's a
- 4:53Speaker 1: lot of evidence inside this document that this was a
- 4:55Speaker 1: human smuggling operation designed to bring former ISIS members into
- 5:00Speaker 1: the country. At least that's what this person was claiming
- 5:03Speaker 1: to these informants. And there was even a claim in
- 5:06Speaker 1: this document that one former ISIS member had actually already
- 5:08Speaker 1: been smuggled into the United States. So a fairly alarming
- 5:12Speaker 1: claim there, but in terms of any danger to the
- 5:15Speaker 1: former But by the way, I love how they referred
- 5:16Speaker 1: to as a fairly alarming claim there, fairly alarming. So
- 5:22Speaker 1: smuggling a former ISIS operative in the United States of
- 5:25Speaker 1: America is now being categorized by the media is fairly alarming,
- 5:31Speaker 1: not not actually alarming, but but fairly alarming. It's somewhat alarming. Okay,
- 5:39Speaker 1: So at what level? At what point, right, would it
- 5:45Speaker 1: be significantly alarming? When does that happen? When did we
- 5:53Speaker 1: step it up to the next level of it being
- 5:56Speaker 1: extremely alarming? Having ISIS jihadis coming into the United States America,
- 6:07Speaker 1: they say, is fairly alarming. Got a downplayed at all costs, right,
- 6:16Speaker 1: got to make sure that people understand this is not
- 6:18Speaker 1: that big of a deal. Right, Let's back that up
- 6:21Speaker 1: again and listen to how they try to downplay ISIS
- 6:24Speaker 1: operatives in the United States of America planning an assassination
- 6:28Speaker 1: attempt against the President of the United States of America,
- 6:31Speaker 1: George W. Bush, designed to bring former ISIS members into
- 6:35Speaker 1: the country. At least that's what this person was claiming
- 6:37Speaker 1: to these informants. And there was even a claim in
- 6:40Speaker 1: this document that one former ISIS member had actually already
- 6:43Speaker 1: been smuggled into the United States. So a fairly alarming
- 6:47Speaker 1: claim there. But in terms of any danger to the
- 6:49Speaker 1: former president, it's pretty clear that there wasn't any because
- 6:52Speaker 1: the FBI was on top of this. But whether whether
- 6:57Speaker 1: or not this foiled the part of the investigation Aaron
- 7:01Speaker 1: remains to be seen. So they got nothing to worry
- 7:03Speaker 1: about now. NBC News just sad that report not on
- 7:07Speaker 1: NBC News but on NBC News now, so you can
- 7:10Speaker 1: watch it online. I just just watch it online because
- 7:15Speaker 1: we don't really want to inform you about what's really
- 7:18Speaker 1: happening in America. CNBC they also did their news on line. Yeah,
- 7:26Speaker 1: because we don't want to really tell you what happened.
- 7:30Speaker 1: We would rather you just know about it online. We'll
- 7:34Speaker 1: tell you about stocks, and we'll talk about Twitter, and
- 7:36Speaker 1: they'll talk about the drama and the cell around what's
- 7:39Speaker 1: happening with different companies all day long. But when it
- 7:43Speaker 1: comes to telling you about an open border story and
- 7:47Speaker 1: isis terrorists coming across that border, No, that's when we
- 7:51Speaker 1: say we're not going to do it. In fact, all
- 7:53Speaker 1: they did was put together some headlines with music behind it.
- 7:57Speaker 1: That was the entire CNBC report. You think I'm joking.
- 8:01Speaker 1: There's your music and what did it say on the screen?
- 8:04Speaker 1: An Iraqi citizen living in Ohio has been accused of
- 8:07Speaker 1: plotting to assassinate former President George W. Bush. This is
- 8:09Speaker 1: their news. This is how much CNBC trying to make
- 8:13Speaker 1: this story kind of disappear, but also having to report
- 8:15Speaker 1: on it, right because you can't not, So they give
- 8:19Speaker 1: you some music. Then they drew up on the screen
- 8:23Speaker 1: that shahe Bamanjabe legally was in the US. He applied
- 8:28Speaker 1: for asylum or trying to marry a US citizen. Oh
- 8:31Speaker 1: so there's a loophole. An FBI search warn revealed his
- 8:33Speaker 1: plans to smuggle for nationals into the US. One of
- 8:37Speaker 1: those Iraqi nationals was reportedly the secretary of an Isis
- 8:42Speaker 1: financial minister. Nothing to see here, will just bury that
- 8:45Speaker 1: on the website Forbes. They're the ones that actually did
- 8:50Speaker 1: something with a story with an exclusive. Their headline isis
- 8:53Speaker 1: plotting to assassinate George W. Bush in Dallas? Two confidential
- 8:59Speaker 1: informants surveillance of the alleged potters What's App account revealed
- 9:03Speaker 1: plans to smuggle assassins into the US to murder the
- 9:06Speaker 1: former president, according to a search warrant application discovered by Forbes,
- 9:12Speaker 1: It's amazing how this type of information doesn't get leaked
- 9:17Speaker 1: to the media. Right, it doesn't get leaked to the media.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Why would we do that? Every other big story they
- 9:25Speaker 1: want to make big, Right, they can make big by
- 9:27Speaker 1: leaking it and everybody will cover it. But if it's
- 9:29Speaker 1: a story about Hunter Biden or Joe Biden, hunter Biden's brother,
- 9:32Speaker 1: or ISIS members coming across the southern border, They're gonna
- 9:36Speaker 1: bury that one at all costs. You notice a pattern here.
- 9:39Speaker 1: They decide what they tell you is important, and when
- 9:42Speaker 1: there was a big, important story that undermines what they're
- 9:46Speaker 1: obsessed with, which is an open border and reemaking and
- 9:48Speaker 1: recreating America, they'll bury it. This is a massive deal.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It's a massive story. Imagine if this story will have
- 9:58Speaker 1: affected Barack Obama. You think they'd report on a little
- 10:01Speaker 1: bit differently. They absolutely might do it, only if it
- 10:06Speaker 1: didn't involve the southern border, though, right can't have that
- 10:10Speaker 1: out there, that it's a national security risk, because then
- 10:13Speaker 1: that could actually play into the hands of people that
- 10:15Speaker 1: actually want to secure the border. More American children will
- 10:20Speaker 1: die from overdose of fetinal this year than any other.
- 10:22Speaker 1: In fact, it'll be the leading cause of death for
- 10:25Speaker 1: young people in America. Can't talk about that. Why would
- 10:30Speaker 1: we want to have that conversation. We've been saying for years,
- 10:35Speaker 1: I say we conservatives like myself have been saying for years,
- 10:39Speaker 1: actually more than years, decades now, that the southern border
- 10:43Speaker 1: isn't just about illegal immigrants, a southern border is actually
- 10:47Speaker 1: about national security. We know that they're terroists that want
- 10:51Speaker 1: to do harm in this country. And when we know
- 10:54Speaker 1: that they're a terrorists that want to do harm to
- 10:56Speaker 1: this country, why on earth would we leave the open
- 10:58Speaker 1: border there. Why would we allow that to happen. Why
- 11:04Speaker 1: would we think it's a good idea to have a
- 11:07Speaker 1: wide open border when we know that they're terrorists that
- 11:09Speaker 1: do want to come into the United States of America
- 11:10Speaker 1: and do want to kill people. We now know that
- 11:15Speaker 1: terrorists have come across the border. We know that people
- 11:17Speaker 1: on terrace watch lists have been caught trying to come
- 11:20Speaker 1: across the border, So I go back to this Forbes
- 11:25Speaker 1: exclusive and Iraqi man the US in the US, accused
- 11:32Speaker 1: of being linked to ISIS operatives, was plotting to kill
- 11:34Speaker 1: George W. Bush, going so far as a travel to
- 11:38Speaker 1: Dallas in November to take video around the former presence
- 11:42Speaker 1: home and recruiting a team of compatriots he hoped to
- 11:46Speaker 1: help smuggle into the country over the Mexican border. That
- 11:51Speaker 1: according to the FBI search warrant application filed March of
- 11:55Speaker 1: twenty third and unsealed this week in the Southern District
- 11:57Speaker 1: of Ohio, the FBI said it uncovered the scheme through
- 12:01Speaker 1: the work of two confidential informants and surveillance of the
- 12:04Speaker 1: alleged plotter's account on the Meta owned WhatsApp messaging platform.
- 12:10Speaker 1: The suspect, based in Columbus, Ohio, said he wanted to
- 12:14Speaker 1: assassinate President Bush because he felt the former president was
- 12:17Speaker 1: responsible for killing many Iraqis and breaking apart the country
- 12:22Speaker 1: after the three US military invasion that according to the warrant,
- 12:29Speaker 1: the case shows how federal investigators continue to monitor threats
- 12:35Speaker 1: from isis, even as the group has been severely weakened
- 12:39Speaker 1: by American intelligence and military operations in recent years. Let's
- 12:44Speaker 1: give credit where credits due Forbes, why not say under
- 12:47Speaker 1: George under Donald Trump? Why not say under George Bush,
- 12:51Speaker 1: because it certainly hasn't been happening under Joe Biden's administration.
- 12:56Speaker 1: It also shows how the FBI, despite its claims of
- 12:59Speaker 1: being of being prevented from investigating major crimes because of
- 13:04Speaker 1: Meta and other tech providers use of encryption, has actually
- 13:10Speaker 1: been able to work around what's app security by using
- 13:12Speaker 1: old school policing with sourcing of informants and tracking the
- 13:17Speaker 1: metadata they can get from the messaging company. From the filing,
- 13:23Speaker 1: it says during the same February nine, twenty two meeting,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and this is some of the names have been redacted,
- 13:31Speaker 1: assured CSI that the blank will pay back the CSI
- 13:37Speaker 1: money for their airfare and hotel rooms. He advises the
- 13:42Speaker 1: CSI that as soon as he received any word from Qatar,
- 13:45Speaker 1: they will call or TEXSI and use coded language and
- 13:48Speaker 1: say the invitation is ready. During the same February the nine,
- 13:53Speaker 1: twenty twenty two meeting and CSI discussed meeting in Columbus
- 13:57Speaker 1: Ohio and approximately the end of February twenty twenty two.
- 14:01Speaker 1: They also advise CSI that have CS one has firearms
- 14:07Speaker 1: and police information to show that c should use coded
- 14:11Speaker 1: language and say the samples are ready CS one and
- 14:17Speaker 1: discuss obtaining these sizes that would be needed for the
- 14:22Speaker 1: uniforms of the ISIS members who would be carrying out
- 14:25Speaker 1: the assassination of former President Bush. During the same February ninth,
- 14:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty two meeting, they advise that when the CS
- 14:37Speaker 1: one communication over the target cell phone, they should activate
- 14:42Speaker 1: the sensors all function order to protect their communications and
- 14:45Speaker 1: primarily use the What's app. Job is an Iraqi national,
- 14:52Speaker 1: by the way, who's been in the US since twenty twenty.
- 14:55Speaker 1: It's the man who's orchestrating the entire plot and asylum
- 15:00Speaker 1: applications pending. According to the FBI Search Warrant application. Federal
- 15:05Speaker 1: agents use two different confidential sources to investigate the plot,
- 15:08Speaker 1: one who claimed to offer assistance obtaining false immigration and
- 15:12Speaker 1: identification documents. The second a purported customer, the alleged people
- 15:18Speaker 1: smuggler who was willing to pay thousands of dollars to
- 15:20Speaker 1: bring his family into the country hold on a second,
- 15:25Speaker 1: So it is true that people are willing to pay
- 15:29Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to bring families into the country across
- 15:32Speaker 1: the border illegally. Well, we can't really make this story
- 15:34Speaker 1: a big story now, right, because that shows the weakness
- 15:37Speaker 1: of an open southern border. As a criminal complaint against
- 15:41Speaker 1: the suspect has not been made public, Forbes is not
- 15:44Speaker 1: publishing the full warrant. According to NBC News, he was
- 15:47Speaker 1: arrested earlier today, a fact later confirmed by the Department
- 15:50Speaker 1: of Justice. Freddy Ford, chief of staff for the Office
- 15:55Speaker 1: of George W. Bush, said quote President Bush has all
- 15:58Speaker 1: the confidence in the world in the United States Secret Service,
- 16:02Speaker 1: in our law enforcement and intelligence communities. In November twenty
- 16:07Speaker 1: twenty one, Shab revealed that the FBI insider to the
- 16:11Speaker 1: insider the plot to assassinate Bush, and asked the confidential
- 16:15Speaker 1: source if he knew how to obtain replica or fraudulent
- 16:17Speaker 1: police and or FBI identifications and badges to help carry
- 16:22Speaker 1: out the killing, and whether it was possible to smuggle
- 16:25Speaker 1: the plotters out of the country the same way they
- 16:28Speaker 1: came in after their mission was complete. According to the warrant,
- 16:34Speaker 1: the alleged smuggler said He also wanted to find and
- 16:38Speaker 1: assassinate a former Iraqi general who helped Americans during the
- 16:42Speaker 1: war and whom he believe was living under a fictitious
- 16:44Speaker 1: identity in the US. Investigators said, Oh, so it's not
- 16:47Speaker 1: just even former presidents were trying to kill. We're now
- 16:50Speaker 1: trying to kill former Iraqi generals who were now trying
- 16:52Speaker 1: to find and kill them under assumed names. Right, nothing
- 16:56Speaker 1: to see here, folks. Let's not report on this major
- 16:59Speaker 1: news in a breaking news way all over the media. Now, no, no, no,
- 17:03Speaker 1: We'll just will bury this. The alleged potter claimed to
- 17:07Speaker 1: be part of a unit called Al Raid meaning Thunder.
- 17:12Speaker 1: It was led by a former Iraqi pilot for Saddam Hussein,
- 17:17Speaker 1: who has been based out of Qatar until his recent death.
- 17:20Speaker 1: The warrant said as many as seven members of the
- 17:23Speaker 1: group would be sent to the US to kill President Bush.
- 17:26Speaker 1: According to a conversation described in the warrant, it was
- 17:30Speaker 1: Shahib's job to locate and conduct surveillance on the former
- 17:34Speaker 1: president Bush's residences and our offices, and obtained firearms and
- 17:39Speaker 1: vehicles to use in the assassination. After actually traveling to
- 17:44Speaker 1: Dallas with the informant to take video of Bush's residence.
- 17:49Speaker 1: The accused took more footage at the George W. Bush Institute.
- 17:53Speaker 1: According to federal agents, a Texas city was beside the
- 17:57Speaker 1: assassination of President George President JF in nineteen sixty three.
- 18:05Speaker 1: In one conversation with a confidential FBI source, the suspect
- 18:09Speaker 1: said he was planning to get four Iraqi national males
- 18:13Speaker 1: located in Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, and Denmark, into the US,
- 18:17Speaker 1: according to the warrant. In a later conversation, he claimed
- 18:21Speaker 1: that one of the four was a secretary of an
- 18:24Speaker 1: ISIS financial minister. The FBI said in their documents, the
- 18:29Speaker 1: alleged smuggler described the men as former Bath Party members
- 18:33Speaker 1: in Iraq who did not agree with the current Iraqi
- 18:36Speaker 1: government and we're political exiles. He was planning to charge
- 18:41Speaker 1: each fifteen thousand dollars to be smuggled into the US.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Smuggled where do you come across, Oh, the southern border.
- 18:47Speaker 1: So this is fifteen k a person. Okay, so there's
- 18:49Speaker 1: four of them, So sixty thousand dollars to smuggle three
- 18:52Speaker 1: dudes into America shouldn't be hard, right, because we know
- 18:55Speaker 1: how to do this pretty easily in America. Now, the
- 18:59Speaker 1: FBI con med that this was the smuggling route that
- 19:02Speaker 1: they were going to use, which was the open border
- 19:04Speaker 1: with the United States America. Do we need an open border?
- 19:08Speaker 1: Do we need a secure border? Right? That's that's part
- 19:11Speaker 1: of the conversation in this country, and Democrats are obsessed
- 19:13Speaker 1: with having an open border. The Bath Party was a
- 19:16Speaker 1: political organization. I'm Saddam Hussein, just so you know, who
- 19:21Speaker 1: was just deposed in the three US invasion. His plan,
- 19:25Speaker 1: according to the warrant, was to get Mexican visitor visas
- 19:28Speaker 1: for the ISIS operatives using passport information he would send
- 19:32Speaker 1: to the informant over what's apt before getting them over
- 19:35Speaker 1: the border. Meanwhile, he was communicating with a contact and
- 19:38Speaker 1: Egypt over a fake Facebook account, which carried a profile
- 19:43Speaker 1: picture of two individuals hands each holding a rose, assigned
- 19:46Speaker 1: to look romantic and not suspicious, according to the FBI's account.
- 19:51Speaker 1: In two and twenty one, the FBI got a warrant
- 19:54Speaker 1: to search the Facebook account, though it's unclear if they
- 19:57Speaker 1: obtained anything from it. The deputy director of the Program
- 20:01Speaker 1: on Extremism at George Washington University said to Forbes quote
- 20:05Speaker 1: It's clear this was a sophisticated counter terrorism operation with
- 20:09Speaker 1: lots of moving parts. It was both far reaching and
- 20:13Speaker 1: unique in its targeting. It also shows that while the
- 20:16Speaker 1: debate on the so called going dark can be overcome
- 20:23Speaker 1: through the use of undercover operatives, it's extremely labor intensive
- 20:28Speaker 1: but possible. The term going dark is used by law
- 20:31Speaker 1: enforcement to describe the inability to get data that has
- 20:35Speaker 1: been encrypted by software applications. We also haven't seen a
- 20:40Speaker 1: lot of this scale in number of years. It shows
- 20:44Speaker 1: that while domestic terrorism rightly takes a good amount of
- 20:47Speaker 1: counter terrorism focus, the threats are not there alone. I remember,
- 20:53Speaker 1: terrorists only have to get it right once. Law enforcement
- 20:57Speaker 1: has to get it right every time when it comes
- 20:58Speaker 1: to protecting people like the or president. As part of
- 21:02Speaker 1: its surveillance of the alleged plotters, the FBI recently received
- 21:05Speaker 1: permission to acquire mobile location information from AT and T.
- 21:10Speaker 1: It had already used what's known as a pen register
- 21:13Speaker 1: on the what's App account believed to belong to the
- 21:15Speaker 1: chief suspect, helping them determine how often the account was used,
- 21:19Speaker 1: that what numbers it was contacting, whether or not it
- 21:22Speaker 1: was active. Though Shahab seemed convinced as what's app account
- 21:29Speaker 1: was secure. He was unaware that the confidential sources were
- 21:33Speaker 1: passing on messages to the FBI, nor was he aware
- 21:37Speaker 1: that starting in October of last year, he was using
- 21:39Speaker 1: a phone that was that he was given by the
- 21:42Speaker 1: informant at the FBI's request. The informant noted that the
- 21:46Speaker 1: target was a keen user of What's App and was
- 21:50Speaker 1: a member of bath and isis chat groups on the app.
- 21:54Speaker 1: In another conversation with an informant, the suspect claimed to
- 21:57Speaker 1: have been in recent communication with a friend in Qatar
- 22:01Speaker 1: who was a former Minister of the Interact under Saddam Hussein,
- 22:06Speaker 1: who had access to large quantities of money and was
- 22:08Speaker 1: messaging him over WhatsApp. The FBI said from the indictment,
- 22:13Speaker 1: it said Blank stated that once a leader. Once a
- 22:16Speaker 1: new leader was elected for a Rahid, they would continue
- 22:21Speaker 1: to plan for the mission to assassinate former President Bush
- 22:25Speaker 1: and further stated that they that they will send to
- 22:27Speaker 1: practically six or seven people for this mission. They advised
- 22:31Speaker 1: a part of his role in the mission would be
- 22:34Speaker 1: to locate and conduct surveillance on the former President Bush's
- 22:37Speaker 1: residence and or offices. And obtained firearms and vehicles to
- 22:41Speaker 1: use in the assassination. Inquired with CS one if it
- 22:47Speaker 1: would be difficult to obtain firearms that would be able
- 22:51Speaker 1: to penetrate a vehicle. Further, they stated that the best
- 22:54Speaker 1: type of vehicle to obtain for the use of the
- 22:56Speaker 1: mission would be a large van with sliding doors. One
- 23:00Speaker 1: and others discussed the obtained that obtaining the items were
- 23:04Speaker 1: possible as long as they had access to the money
- 23:07Speaker 1: that was needed to procure these things. Also asked about
- 23:13Speaker 1: how hard it was going to be to get across
- 23:15Speaker 1: the border. They said it was easy. It was not hard.
- 23:18Speaker 1: The informant said, it was something that has done countless
- 23:21Speaker 1: times per day. No big deal. We got an open
- 23:23Speaker 1: border now. While the sources were passing on what they
- 23:26Speaker 1: learned over what's apped through out twenty twenty one twenty
- 23:29Speaker 1: twenty two, they were also secretly recording the in person
- 23:33Speaker 1: meetings with the alleged plotter, in which additional startling details
- 23:36Speaker 1: were also revealed, according to the FBI. In one conversation
- 23:40Speaker 1: from this past December, and according to the warrant, the
- 23:44Speaker 1: suspect claimed to have had just smuggled two individuals associated
- 23:48Speaker 1: with Hezbollah, a terrorist organization according to the US government,
- 23:52Speaker 1: into the US for a fee of fifty thousand dollars each.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Also in the FBI court filing, the alleged plotter claimed
- 24:00Speaker 1: to be a member of the resistance and had killed
- 24:03Speaker 1: many Americans in Iraq between oh three and oh six,
- 24:06Speaker 1: packing vehicles with explosives and detonating them when US soldiers
- 24:10Speaker 1: were near. The court document and indictment reveals, now, would
- 24:19Speaker 1: any of this have been possible without them consistently talking
- 24:22Speaker 1: about one of our biggest problems, an open southern border.
- 24:30Speaker 1: It would be hard to imagine that without an open
- 24:33Speaker 1: southern border that this would have been a real possibility.
- 24:37Speaker 1: They would have actually had to go through customs through
- 24:39Speaker 1: an airport, but they didn't have to worry about any
- 24:43Speaker 1: of that because they realized they can just come across
- 24:45Speaker 1: the southern border. It's not a problem. As another headline says,
- 24:50Speaker 1: Iraqi says to plotted an assassination attempt on former President
- 24:56Speaker 1: George Bush by using open southern border to ge access
- 25:00Speaker 1: to America. You can't talk about that. Come on now.
- 25:06Speaker 1: The border is something that we don't want to ever mention.
- 25:10Speaker 1: If you're in the mainstream media, because you don't want
- 25:12Speaker 1: to talk about the intelligence aspect of this. What this
- 25:16Speaker 1: could be, Secretary my orchis actually that funny enough? Yesterday
- 25:22Speaker 1: had this to say. This is the Secretary myorcist, and
- 25:26Speaker 1: listen to what he had to say about the open border.
- 25:30Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security is executing it's comprehensive, whole
- 25:35Speaker 1: of government plan to manage current and potentially increases at
- 25:40Speaker 1: our border in a safe, orderly, and humane way, consistent
- 25:46Speaker 1: with enforcing our laws. We're not enforcing our laws. It's
- 25:49Speaker 1: a wide open border. He's lying to you, the Department
- 25:52Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, as my orcists, claim saying that we
- 25:55Speaker 1: are you know, he says that were blaming the border
- 25:57Speaker 1: cristis some people fleeing violence and climate change. That was
- 26:00Speaker 1: part of the other thing he had to say, which
- 26:02Speaker 1: is a joke. Climate change. He says, why people are
- 26:06Speaker 1: leaving Homeland Security Secretary, the guy's in charge are protecting
- 26:10Speaker 1: us from the terrorists coming across the open border, says
- 26:13Speaker 1: we will continue to enforce its immigration laws. Right somehow
- 26:16Speaker 1: We're going to fix all this. He's lying to you.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I am La Jundro mayorcis, US Secretary of Homeland Security.
- 26:23Speaker 1: The United States continues to enforce its immigration laws. Individuals
- 26:29Speaker 1: and families should not put their lives at risk by
- 26:33Speaker 1: taking the dangerous journey only to be sent back. The
- 26:37Speaker 1: restrictions on our southwest border have not changed. Single adults
- 26:42Speaker 1: and families encountered will continue to be expelled where appropriate
- 26:48Speaker 1: under Title forty two, and those who are unable to
- 26:51Speaker 1: establish a legal basis to remain will be removed. It's
- 26:58Speaker 1: not true. I've had twice the population of Miami for
- 27:03Speaker 1: to come into this country and stay this year. And
- 27:05Speaker 1: Democrats understand they're fundamentally changing what this country is, what
- 27:09Speaker 1: this country looks like. What's happening and they know it. Univision,
- 27:18Speaker 1: by the way, Univision on air editorial at the Border
- 27:24Speaker 1: called for a comprehensive immigration reform, saying that the truth
- 27:28Speaker 1: is we've got a real problem at the border, right
- 27:32Speaker 1: that the further they say the truth is that with
- 27:34Speaker 1: every story that we tell you here at the Border,
- 27:39Speaker 1: we confirm the need for the US to pass a
- 27:41Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform and also for the governments in our
- 27:45Speaker 1: countries in Latin America to do what is necessarily in
- 27:48Speaker 1: order to end the violence and the control and the corruption.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Put an end to the corruption. Univision says, this is
- 27:54Speaker 1: plundering the resources of our peoples, the resources for the
- 27:58Speaker 1: future of these children. That's what Univision had to say.
- 28:06Speaker 1: It's pretty bad when Univision's actually seeing more proactive about
- 28:09Speaker 1: securing our border than the United States government is, because
- 28:14Speaker 1: they're seeing the carnage of what happens to the kids
- 28:16Speaker 1: and the people that are enslaved to these human traffickers
- 28:20Speaker 1: smugglers on top of the fetnel that's coming in. It's
- 28:22Speaker 1: a number one killer of young people in this country
- 28:25Speaker 1: as the fetnel coming across the southern border. Oh and
- 28:28Speaker 1: also throw in some terrace. They're trying to kill George W. Bush.
