- 0:00Speaker 1: I want to take you back in history for just
- 0:03Speaker 1: a moment.
- 0:03Speaker 2: You may remember when President Donald Trump ran for office,
- 0:06Speaker 2: one of the things he promised what he was going
- 0:10Speaker 2: to clean.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Up waste fraud and abuse.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Now, when did our government get really big into waste
- 0:17Speaker 2: fraud and abuse.
- 0:19Speaker 1: A lot of it actually happened when President Barack.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Obama was in office, because he understood that it's easier
- 0:26Speaker 2: to buy votes than to convince people to vote for
- 0:30Speaker 2: you for actual policy reasons. You may remember the perfect
- 0:35Speaker 2: example of buying votes, a woman that became famous for
- 0:39Speaker 2: her reason for voting for Barack Obama over a guy
- 0:43Speaker 2: by the name of Mitt Romney. Let me be clear,
- 0:45Speaker 2: I'm not advocating for voting for Mitt Romney for anything.
- 0:48Speaker 2: We now know what a disaster he was, but at
- 0:52Speaker 2: the time, he obviously was willing to do a lot
- 0:55Speaker 2: better job for this country.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Than Barack Obama.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Insert September the twenty six of twenty twelve and the
- 1:04Speaker 2: famous woman who loved her Obama phone.
- 1:09Speaker 1: You got Obama phone?
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yes, everybody in Cleveland, Oh my nod, he got Obama fall.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Keep a woman president. You know, he gave us a phone.
- 1:18Speaker 1: He gave you a bone let.
- 1:19Speaker 3: He give you a phone, you've signed up hearing you
- 1:21Speaker 3: a full stemps, a social charity, you got load income,
- 1:25Speaker 3: you disability?
- 1:27Speaker 1: Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?
- 1:29Speaker 3: Roney?
- 1:30Speaker 1: He sucks me. There it is. The woman made it clear,
- 1:38Speaker 1: you can buy my vote.
- 1:40Speaker 2: The Obama phone was real, and it was a way
- 1:42Speaker 2: to buy votes, and the Democratic Party was giving out
- 1:46Speaker 2: those Obama phones and free sales service each and every month. Well,
- 1:51Speaker 2: fast forward to where we are today, and we know
- 1:55Speaker 2: a lot more about how corrupt the program actually was.
- 1:59Speaker 1: The Obama it was.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Also a big scam, and a Florida ceo is now
- 2:05Speaker 2: headed to prison and has been ordered to pay one
- 2:10Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight million dollars in fines after quote
- 2:15Speaker 2: defrauding the government. And we're also being told this may
- 2:20Speaker 2: be the tip of the iceberg. The owner of a
- 2:24Speaker 2: Florida telecommunications company will spend the next five years in prison.
- 2:29Speaker 2: That's it, only five years, and his firm must pay
- 2:33Speaker 2: a hefty fine regarding the Obama phone scam. Q Link
- 2:38Speaker 2: Wireless LLC and its owner identified as a CEO isa Asad,
- 2:45Speaker 2: previously pled guilty to conspiring to commit wired fraud and
- 2:50Speaker 2: still federal funds from the Lifeline program that originally began
- 2:55Speaker 2: in the nineteen eighties to offer home phone service to
- 3:00Speaker 2: those that were in need so they could call nine
- 3:02Speaker 2: one one. Well, the program offered subsidized cell phone service,
- 3:07Speaker 2: then to lower income people, and then free phones. And
- 3:11Speaker 2: in that twenty twelve video, you had that protester emerging
- 3:15Speaker 2: outside of Mitt Rodney event who claimed her neighborhood received
- 3:18Speaker 2: the an Obama phone. Everybody's got one, every minority. When
- 3:23Speaker 2: asked why don't you supported Obama, the woman said, everybody
- 3:26Speaker 2: in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Keep Obama in president. You know, he gave us the phone.
- 3:33Speaker 1: He's gonna do more. Now.
- 3:35Speaker 2: This clip was really the first time many Americans ever
- 3:38Speaker 2: heard about the abuse in this program, and the name
- 3:42Speaker 2: Obama phone caught on after the video went viral. Some
- 3:46Speaker 2: telecommunications companies with Lifeline contracts embraced the term as a
- 3:53Speaker 2: marketing ploint. The government, by the way, did not go
- 3:58Speaker 2: back to twenty thirteen, Breitbart News reported the opposition to
- 4:03Speaker 2: the Lifeline program was growing, as Track Phone Wireless, the
- 4:07Speaker 2: company that most benefited from the government's upse is now
- 4:12Speaker 2: advertising on the inside the Beltway news websites in an
- 4:16Speaker 2: effort to quote unquote save it.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You go to the Fox article and it now says
- 4:21Speaker 1: that a Side was sentenced.
- 4:23Speaker 2: To prison and he, along with his company, must pay
- 4:26Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty eight million dollars in fines. In
- 4:29Speaker 2: a press release on Friday, the US Attorney's Office for
- 4:33Speaker 2: the Southern District of Florida shared more details about the
- 4:36Speaker 2: case and just how bad the fraud may be. Aside
- 4:41Speaker 2: to fraud in another federal government program that states, the
- 4:44Speaker 2: Paycheck Protection Program, also known as PPP, by making false
- 4:50Speaker 2: statements about q Link's business, Congress you may remember created
- 4:55Speaker 2: PPP and it was filled with waste, fraud, and abuse
- 4:59Speaker 2: during the COVID Ninete Team pandemic to authorize forgivable loans
- 5:03Speaker 2: to small businesses for job retention as well as quote
- 5:07Speaker 2: other expenses. Aside, the q Link's name executive executed a
- 5:13Speaker 2: fraudulent scheme to obtain and keep PPP proceeds. To further
- 5:19Speaker 2: the scheme, Aside made false statements about q Link's business,
- 5:23Speaker 2: including a false claim that q Link's Lifeline reimbursement substantially
- 5:27Speaker 2: decrease because of the pandemic. Aside then in twenty twenty one,
- 5:33Speaker 2: engaged in an unlawful financial transaction involving approximately three hundred
- 5:39Speaker 2: and eighty nine thousand of those proceeds. Aside spent PPP
- 5:43Speaker 2: loan proceeds on a land rover, payment, his personal AMEX card, jewelry,
- 5:50Speaker 2: and personal property taxes. Aside was reportedly charged with murder
- 5:56Speaker 2: several years ago in connection with driving over a grounds
- 6:00Speaker 2: keeper at his business.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Per another Fox article.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He later pled note, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor culpable negligence,
- 6:09Speaker 2: and was slapped with one year of probation in order
- 6:13Speaker 2: to pay just a one hundred and twenty five dollars fine.
- 6:17Speaker 2: The outlet said, proof if you've got really good lawyers,
- 6:21Speaker 2: you can get away with a hell of a lot.
- 6:23Speaker 1: As for the Obama phone scam, the.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Four to CEO at least is headed to prison and
- 6:29Speaker 2: we'll pay, in theory one hundred and twenty eight million
- 6:32Speaker 2: dollars in fines for defrauding the American taxpayer. But is
- 6:37Speaker 2: this program still going yes? Is the program still corrupt
- 6:43Speaker 2: as hell?
- 6:44Speaker 1: Yes? And is it time that the Trump administration look
- 6:48Speaker 1: into it?

- 9:14Speaker 1: I want to talk about.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Some new news and data that is coming out that
- 9:18Speaker 2: is going to shock or should shock every American.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the media is refusing to cover it.
- 9:25Speaker 2: ICE arrest are happening at record pace, and it's not
- 9:30Speaker 2: just random people. ICE has now arrested over two hundred
- 9:36Speaker 2: illegal alien child sex offenders in the Houston, Texas area alone.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I want to say that again.
- 9:47Speaker 2: ICE has arrested over two hundred illegal alien child sex
- 9:52Speaker 2: offenders in Houston alone, not the country, not the state
- 9:57Speaker 2: of Texas, in one city. This coming from US Immigration
- 10:03Speaker 2: and Customs Enforcement saying it this way. US Immigration and
- 10:07Speaker 2: Customs Enforcement has arrested two hundred and fourteen illegal aliens
- 10:12Speaker 2: for immigration offenses in the Houston area who have been
- 10:16Speaker 2: charged or convicted of a sex offense involving a minor.
- 10:22Speaker 2: The two hundred and fourteen arrests were more than the
- 10:26Speaker 2: Houston Field Office arrested during the entire twenty twenty four
- 10:31Speaker 2: fiscal year, when officers they are arrested two hundred eleven
- 10:35Speaker 2: illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offenses. The
- 10:40Speaker 2: surge and arrests over the last six months of illegal
- 10:42Speaker 2: aliens charged with or convicted of child sex offense as
- 10:47Speaker 2: a direct result of a whole of government approach implemented
- 10:52Speaker 2: under the Trump administration that has now led to the
- 10:56Speaker 2: establishment of multi agency targeting teams in each area of responsibility.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Now these teams conduct daily enhanced immigration enforcement operations targeting
- 11:10Speaker 2: the worst of the worst criminal aliens, something that the
- 11:15Speaker 2: President promised when he was running for president, and yes,
- 11:18Speaker 2: making good on that promise. They are targeting the worst,
- 11:21Speaker 2: the worst criminal aliens for one reason arrest and then
- 11:26Speaker 2: the second reason is removal. In Southeast Texas, those efforts
- 11:31Speaker 2: have resulted in an increase in arrests of all quote
- 11:35Speaker 2: dangerous criminal aliens, leading to safer communities, stronger national security,
- 11:41Speaker 2: and enhance border security as well, saying this, bringing together
- 11:46Speaker 2: the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement
- 11:50Speaker 2: community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that
- 11:54Speaker 2: we saw over the past four years has resulted in
- 11:58Speaker 2: the arrest and removal of his historic numbers of violent
- 12:03Speaker 2: criminal aliens, transnational gang members, and child sex offenders. That
- 12:11Speaker 2: is what ICE Enforcement and removal operations Houston Acting Field
- 12:15Speaker 2: Director Paul McBride said his statement. He continued by saying this,
- 12:20Speaker 2: while we still have a long way to go to
- 12:22Speaker 2: truly get this crisis under control, the strides we have
- 12:26Speaker 2: made in just the last six months to make our
- 12:28Speaker 2: local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to
- 12:32Speaker 2: work tirelessly every day to get the worst, the worst
- 12:35Speaker 2: criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities
- 12:40Speaker 2: to places we can all enjoy.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Now.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Among the illegal aliens that we're charged or convicted of
- 12:46Speaker 2: a child sex offense who were arrested by the ICE
- 12:51Speaker 2: Houston Field Office in the past six months, here are
- 12:54Speaker 2: some of the worst.
- 12:55Speaker 1: A man by the name of Jesus Kutirez.
- 12:58Speaker 2: He was a sixty seven year old three times deported
- 13:02Speaker 2: criminal alien from Mexico. He was arrested March to twenty
- 13:06Speaker 2: eighth and has been convicted of aggravated.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Sexual assault of a child.
- 13:11Speaker 2: He's also been convicted of driving while intoxicated. ICE removed
- 13:16Speaker 2: the man to Mexico April to fourth. George Zebra, a
- 13:23Speaker 2: forty eight year old criminal alien from Mexico, was arrested
- 13:26Speaker 2: March to twenty first.
- 13:28Speaker 1: He's now been convicted of not one but two counts.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Of aggravated sexual assault of a minor in sexual indecency
- 13:35Speaker 2: with a minor. ICE has removed him to Mexico March
- 13:39Speaker 2: to twenty fourth as well. Manuel Antonio Castro, a thirty
- 13:44Speaker 2: seven year old has also a rap sheet twice deported
- 13:48Speaker 2: criminal alien, this time from Al Salvador.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He was arrested July.
- 13:52Speaker 2: The eighteenth and has been convicted of sexual assault of
- 13:56Speaker 2: a minor and twice for illegal re entry. He remains
- 14:00Speaker 2: in ICE custody, pinning his third removal to El Salvador
- 14:05Speaker 2: Jose Mesa is a forty year old four time deported
- 14:10Speaker 2: criminal alien from Mexico who has yet again arrested June
- 14:13Speaker 2: the twenty fourth.
- 14:15Speaker 1: He's been convicted of He's been convicted of theft and
- 14:18Speaker 1: sexual assault of a child.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Ice removed the man to Mexico June the twenty fifth.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Sergio Rolando, a forty five.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Year old three time deported criminal alien from Mexico who
- 14:31Speaker 2: has arrested June the twelfth, has been convicted of DWI
- 14:35Speaker 2: and aggravated sexual assault of a child. He's been removed
- 14:40Speaker 2: to Mexico July the fourteenth. Now you look at the
- 14:43Speaker 2: difference now between what's happening and over the last four years,
- 14:49Speaker 2: federal law enforcement agencies have been contributed to the multi
- 14:53Speaker 2: agency targeting teams, including the Houston Office of the FBI,
- 14:58Speaker 2: the Houston Office of the ATA, the Houston Office of
- 15:01Speaker 2: the DA, and the US Customs and Border Protection, as
- 15:04Speaker 2: well as the Diplomats Security Services and the US Marshall Service.
- 15:09Speaker 2: You add in state and local law enforcement agencies that
- 15:12Speaker 2: have also assisted ice. You look at this, and this,
- 15:16Speaker 2: I go back to what I said, is just in
- 15:18Speaker 2: one city, two hundred and fourteen illegal aliens have been
- 15:23Speaker 2: arrested for immigration offense in the Houston area in the
- 15:26Speaker 2: past six months, and they've been charged or convicted of
- 15:29Speaker 2: sex offenses involving miners. They got to ask you a question,
- 15:34Speaker 2: are you one of those that is just so tired
- 15:36Speaker 2: of giving your money to radical left woke companies that
- 15:39Speaker 2: actually are fighting against your values every day?
- 15:42Speaker 1: Well, there are certain bills that you pay.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Every month that if you can go with a conservative company,
- 15:48Speaker 2: why not do it? In fact, why not go with
- 15:51Speaker 2: a conservative company actually takes part of your bill every
- 15:54Speaker 2: month that you're going to pay to somebody, and they
- 15:56Speaker 2: give it back to organizations that support your First and
- 15:59Speaker 2: your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of unborn children,
- 16:04Speaker 2: that stand with our military, are first responders and so
- 16:09Speaker 2: many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm
- 16:12Speaker 2: talking about is your cell phone bill. And I've been
- 16:16Speaker 2: telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile, But
- 16:18Speaker 2: there's no better time to switch than right now. Not
- 16:22Speaker 2: only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major networks

- 16:34Speaker 2: why would you want to give your money to Big Mobile?
- 16:37Speaker 2: Big Mobile has been giving big donations to democratic causes,
- 16:41Speaker 2: democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations
- 16:46Speaker 2: that actually support abortion. That is why I want you
- 16:51Speaker 2: to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go ahead and

- 17:52Speaker 2: administration was allowing into our country on purpose.
- 17:56Speaker 1: They knew that these people were in this country.
- 18:00Speaker 2: They knew that they were flooding our cities, and they
- 18:03Speaker 2: knew that sanctuary policies and sanctuary cities were actually protecting
- 18:08Speaker 2: that's right, protecting these individuals from accountability and also deportation.
- 18:16Speaker 2: These two hundred and fourteen illegal alien child sex offenders
- 18:20Speaker 2: knew they were safe in the United States of America
- 18:23Speaker 2: under the Biden administration.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I want you to think about what that means.
- 18:28Speaker 2: The worst of the worst is who they're going after,
- 18:32Speaker 2: not just in Houston, but also around the country. The
- 18:37Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security is also doing things like Alligator Alcatraz,
- 18:43Speaker 2: the migrant facility, talking about opening up Alcatraz again.
- 18:48Speaker 1: And why are they doing this.
- 18:49Speaker 2: They're doing it for one reason, as a deterrent, to
- 18:53Speaker 2: make it very clear that in this country right now,
- 18:57Speaker 2: if you are an illegal immigrant, a specially an illegal
- 19:00Speaker 2: immigrant that is abusing children or any other human being,
- 19:06Speaker 2: we are coming after you. The other thing the President
- 19:10Speaker 2: has said is we need to well turbocharge ICE arrests
- 19:14Speaker 2: and deportations. The left here is that and they lose
- 19:18Speaker 2: their mind. They say it's insane. Well, ICE is now
- 19:22Speaker 2: revealing many of the worst of the worst illegal immigrants
- 19:25Speaker 2: arrested in cities all over the country, including convicted child rapists, arsonists,
- 19:32Speaker 2: and human smugglers. The President of the United States of
- 19:36Speaker 2: America making it clear this is why he was elected
- 19:39Speaker 2: and he's going to stop at nothing to protect you
- 19:42Speaker 2: and your families from these monsters.
- 19:46Speaker 1: I want you to listen to part of the plan here.
- 19:49Speaker 2: The Department of Home Security Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin went
- 19:53Speaker 2: on Fox News to talk about in US since phase two.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Now, what is phase two? Phase two is.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Doing everything we can to get these violet criminals off
- 20:03Speaker 2: the streets.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Listen carefully, Let's bring in Tricia McLoughlin.
- 20:07Speaker 4: She is the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary. So
- 20:12Speaker 4: I've got some pictures of Alligator Alcatraz that we want
- 20:14Speaker 4: to put up here because it's fast under construction. DeSantis
- 20:17Speaker 4: was saying this morning on Fox and Friends, they hope
- 20:19Speaker 4: to have it done by Tuesday. This is a facility.
- 20:22Speaker 4: It's being partially funded by the federal government. A lot
- 20:26Speaker 4: of cooperation between Florida and the Feds. How does this
- 20:29Speaker 4: facility fit into everything that you're trying to do on
- 20:31Speaker 4: a national level.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Well, since day one, Secretary Nome has called on the
- 20:35Speaker 3: state and local governments, Hey, we need help with detention beds.
- 20:38Speaker 3: That is a key operational lynch pin and getting these
- 20:41Speaker 3: arrests and deportations turbocharge because we need somewhere to house
- 20:45Speaker 3: these aliens until we can actually get them out of
- 20:47Speaker 3: the country. So this will give us up to five
- 20:49Speaker 3: thousand new beds. Florida has been a fantastic partner in this,
- 20:53Speaker 3: incredibly innovative and we hope to see more of this
- 20:55Speaker 3: from our state and local partners. But we also have
- 20:57Speaker 3: to get that big beautiful bill pass because that's going
- 20:59Speaker 3: to get of us over one hundred thousand detention bed
- 21:02Speaker 3: capacity and that doubles what we can do really turbo
- 21:06Speaker 3: charge those arrest numbers.
- 21:07Speaker 4: So this is this facility is being built out at
- 21:10Speaker 4: a training airport which is right along the DAID call
- 21:13Speaker 4: your County line. I've driven past it many times on
- 21:15Speaker 4: the Tammiami Trail. Here's what Ron Desanta said. This facility
- 21:19Speaker 4: is capable of listening here.
- 21:21Speaker 2: This is going to be able to have more than
- 21:23Speaker 2: three thousand illegals.
- 21:25Speaker 1: It can be processed through here.
- 21:27Speaker 4: We've got a massive runway right behind us where any
- 21:30Speaker 4: of the federal.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Assets that they want to fly these people back to
- 21:34Speaker 2: their home country, they can do it.
- 21:36Speaker 4: One stop shop, one stop shop.
- 21:38Speaker 1: You got it all.
- 21:38Speaker 4: You've got the detention facility, You've got the airport. Can
- 21:41Speaker 4: the federal government make good use of this?
- 21:43Speaker 3: We sure can talk about efficiency right then and there,
- 21:46Speaker 3: But also I want to talk about the funding for this.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Some of it will be paid by the State of Florida,
- 21:49Speaker 3: but a lot of it will be paid by the
- 21:51Speaker 3: federal government. We're actually looking at a FEMA to fund
- 21:53Speaker 3: this through the Shelter and Services Program, which we saw
- 21:56Speaker 3: in the Biden administration that funding was bastardised to use
- 21:59Speaker 3: for places like the Roosevelt Hotel, which is the place
- 22:02Speaker 3: that housed trend A. Rago is really the base of
- 22:04Speaker 3: operations there, as well as Lake and Riley's killer. So
- 22:07Speaker 3: we're going to take that funding and actually house these
- 22:09Speaker 3: legal aliens before we get them out the door and
- 22:11Speaker 3: out of our country.
- 22:12Speaker 4: All right, Now, not everybody's looking at this facility as
- 22:15Speaker 4: the great thing that Ron de Status believes that it is.
- 22:17Speaker 4: Alejandro Frost, Democrat from Florida, said this, They target migrants,
- 22:21Speaker 4: rip families apart, and subject people to conditions that amount
- 22:24Speaker 4: to physical and psychological torture and facilities that can only
- 22:27Speaker 4: be described as hell on Earth. Now they want to
- 22:30Speaker 4: erect tents in the blazing Everglades sun and call it
- 22:32Speaker 4: immigration enforcement. They don't care if people live or die.
- 22:35Speaker 4: They only care about cruelty and spectacle. Now we should
- 22:39Speaker 4: pte out that. Rod de Status Today, when he was
- 22:40Speaker 4: talking to Steve Doocey said that that airport and facilities
- 22:43Speaker 4: just like it are often used to stage first responders
- 22:46Speaker 4: during hurricane emergencies. So I'm not quite sure what the
- 22:50Speaker 4: good congressman is doing.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Yeah, our ice facilities have higher standards than a lot
- 22:54Speaker 3: of US detention facilities for actual American citizens, So that's ridiculous.
- 22:58Speaker 3: He doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. But
- 23:00Speaker 3: by the way, Americans should know that seventy percent of
- 23:03Speaker 3: illegal aliens who have been arrested under this administration actually
- 23:06Speaker 3: have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. So this is
- 23:10Speaker 3: all just him playing gutter politics, and his continuing to
- 23:14Speaker 3: villainize our ice enforcement officers is contributing to the fact
- 23:17Speaker 3: that five hundred percent increase in assaults against our brave
- 23:20Speaker 3: men and women in law enforcement.
- 23:22Speaker 4: I also want to ask you about this because last weekend,
- 23:24Speaker 4: DHS put out a warning about possible threats to the
- 23:28Speaker 4: homeland from Iranian sleeper cells or people affiliated with them.
- 23:32Speaker 4: With the ceasefire, now in places that threat diministers is
- 23:35Speaker 4: still out there.
- 23:36Speaker 3: It's still out there, but there's not an active alert.
- 23:39Speaker 3: So we just want people to stay vigilant. We want
- 23:41Speaker 3: our law enforcement to be vigilant. But as we enter
- 23:44Speaker 3: the July fourth holiday, people should be enjoying celebrate this country.
- 23:48Speaker 3: We have a wonderful, safe country, and we encourage people
- 23:51Speaker 3: to go out and celebrate and our law enforcement, our
- 23:54Speaker 3: homeland security investigators. You know, it wasn't just June twenty
- 23:57Speaker 3: first without operation in Iran. We have been on top
- 24:00Speaker 3: of it from the start, making sure these Iranian sleeper
- 24:03Speaker 3: cells are arrested and removed from this country.
- 24:06Speaker 1: You listened to all that she was saying there.
- 24:08Speaker 2: I mean, we're not just talking about national security issues
- 24:12Speaker 2: from the human traffickers, the sex traffickers, the list goes
- 24:15Speaker 2: on and on. We're also talking about these Iranian sleeper
- 24:19Speaker 2: cells that are a threat to our national security.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I'll go to another story that came out this week.
- 24:29Speaker 2: There was a Biden era missing migrant children hotline that
- 24:35Speaker 2: we're now finding out apparently went unanswered. Largely when people called,
- 24:42Speaker 2: they had children that they released to non family members,
- 24:48Speaker 2: and then when they would go to check on those children,
- 24:52Speaker 2: they were nowhere. It would be found this is the
- 24:54Speaker 2: Democratic Party because they wanted to flood this country with illegals.
- 25:00Speaker 5: HS finding more than thirteen thousand unaccompanied migrant children that
- 25:04Speaker 5: were placed with unvetted sponsors throughout the US. This comes
- 25:08Speaker 5: one week after a witness in a household land security
- 25:11Speaker 5: hearing described just how little help those children received under
- 25:15Speaker 5: Joe Biden.
- 25:17Speaker 6: There was also a Notice of Concern hotline where people
- 25:19Speaker 6: could report concerns about the unaccompanied child's safety. But what
- 25:25Speaker 6: this administration found was from August twenty twenty three to
- 25:28Speaker 6: January of twenty twenty five, sixty five thousand calls went unanswered.
- 25:35Speaker 5: That witness is Ali Hopper, founder of Guard Against Trafficking,
- 25:39Speaker 5: and she joins us. Now, when I saw this, I
- 25:42Speaker 5: wasn't surprised, but I was enraged.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Ali.
- 25:46Speaker 5: How could they not answer calls from children? They gave
- 25:50Speaker 5: the number two in case you're exploited, and they called
- 25:53Speaker 5: and said I'm being sexually exploited, and no one answered
- 25:56Speaker 5: their messages.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Rachel, You're exactly correct.
- 26:00Speaker 6: This hotline was set up as one of the many
- 26:02Speaker 6: safeguards that were put in place, and unfortunately, when the
- 26:05Speaker 6: policy on paper, when these safeguards are put in place
- 26:08Speaker 6: on paper only, but they're not intended to be followed
- 26:11Speaker 6: up on or functioned properly, this is what happens. And
- 26:15Speaker 6: what's more horrifying is that these calls wouldn't have been
- 26:18Speaker 6: even responded to, Like the call that I mentioned in
- 26:21Speaker 6: my testimony, were a child called saying that grown men
- 26:25Speaker 6: were coming into his room at night and they were
- 26:27Speaker 6: touching him. This administration went through every single one of
- 26:31Speaker 6: those calls, and that child was rescued and that sponsor
- 26:34Speaker 6: was arrested. But if we hadn't had this administration win,
- 26:39Speaker 6: take over and try to undo what the past administration did.
- 26:43Speaker 6: Those calls would have remained unanswered.
- 26:46Speaker 5: Well, God bless everyone who's going through that list of calls,
- 26:49Speaker 5: those unanswered calls, and trying to do something about it.
- 26:53Speaker 2: I want you imagine you're in the government and now
- 26:56Speaker 2: your job is to try to go back and track
- 26:59Speaker 2: down the care kids that were trying to call telling
- 27:02Speaker 2: you that they were being sexually assaulted. They were given
- 27:05Speaker 2: a number to call if they needed help. They called
- 27:08Speaker 2: the damn number. They was set up by the Biden administration,
- 27:12Speaker 2: and no one was there to answer their calls.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Can we just think about what that means.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Can you imagine being a kid and you get into
- 27:21Speaker 2: the US government custody right like we found you, and
- 27:26Speaker 2: then we release you to someone that's not a family member,
- 27:32Speaker 2: and we give you a number and we tell you
- 27:34Speaker 2: to call this number if there is a problem, if
- 27:39Speaker 2: there is an issue, just call this number. If there's
- 27:41Speaker 2: something happening we need to know about, just call this number.
- 27:44Speaker 2: And you call it and you're needing help. You're a child,
- 27:50Speaker 2: you're being sexually assaulted. You need a child Like you're
- 27:53Speaker 2: a child, you need help, You're calling an adult you're
- 27:55Speaker 2: not an adult. You're calling the government that gave you
- 27:59Speaker 2: the number that's supposed to be protecting you, and no
- 28:01Speaker 2: one's answering the phone. And now there's somebody out there
- 28:05Speaker 2: who's having to try to find you, now, who's trying
- 28:08Speaker 2: to like, after the fact, after the fact, they're trying
- 28:13Speaker 2: to find you because the last administration deliberately looked the
- 28:17Speaker 2: other way on purpose. Don't forget Share this podcast wherever
- 28:21Speaker 2: you can with your family and your friends, and I'll
