Democrat Weaponized Justice EXPOSED plus Another Case, Another Victim of Violent Crime by an Illegal Alien · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We are learning a lot more now in the bombshell
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary hearing on Arctic Frost, and exactly just how
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: corrupt the Biden administration really was. Now, before I get
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: into what the Senate Judiciary Committee told us today, let
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: me just remind you what Arctic Frost was all about.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It was the internal code name tied to that federal
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: investigation effort that was launched during the Biden Air Department
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of Justice, an operation that, according to multiple whistleblowers and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: internal memos now is coming to light. It was designed
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to track and build cases tied to election related activity,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: political organizing, and what officials labeled as domestic extremism risk networks. Now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: on paper, it was framed as a national security initiative,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but the reality was it was all about doing political
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: surveillance on Donald Trump and many of his allies. And now,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: thanks to the Senate Judiciary hearing, we're getting a much
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: clearer picture of what was really going on behind the scenes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The hearing turned into nothing short of a political earthquake.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Senators revealed new testimony and internal communications tied directly to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Special Counsel Jack Smith and what he allegedly demanded during
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the height of Arctic frost and the operation. Now, according
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to the documents that were presented during the hearing, Smith
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: pushed for expanded authority to subpoena communications tied not just
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to suspects, but to broader networks of individuals. He reportedly
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: advocated for aggressive timelines, demanding prosecutors moved faster than traditional
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: thresholds would normally allow, and most explosively. Lawmakers revealed discussion
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: suggesting an effort to directly link political speech and organizing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: activity to potential criminal exposure. Let me say that again,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this wasn't just about investigating crimes. They wanted you to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: believe that, But what it was actually about was weaponizing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and redefining what could be considered a crime to lock
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: up Donald Trump in his allies. Now, according to testimony,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Smith wanted broader use of material witness warrants, even in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: cases where individuals had not been charged. That is what
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you call a phishing exploration, hoping to find a crime
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: with no crime that had actually been committed that you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: knew about. He supported also using digital surveillance tools to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: map associations between the political activists that he wanted to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: go after. That was the tree connected to Donald Trump
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at the top, and he reportedly pushed the Department of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Justice teams to build cases as he described it outward,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: meaning start first with a target aka Donald Trump or
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: one of his associates, and then expand the net until
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: something actionable is found or appeared. This is a stunning
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: admission by those at the hearing, making it clear that yes,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they didn't know of any crimes had been committed by
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Trump or anyone around him. They instead just said we're
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: going to pick someone and then find a crime that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we can charge them with to shut them down Politically.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: This literally flips the entire justice system on its head. Now,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in America, you investigate a crime and then find a suspect,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but not under the Biden administration or regime. They picked
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the target first, then looking for a crime that they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: could create out of thin air. Yes, this is a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: grotesque abuse of power. Republican members the Senate Judiciary Committee
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: did not hold back. They described Arctic frost as a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: weaponized pipeline inside the DOJ, a system that allowed federal
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: prosecutors to test legal theories on political opponents, and a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: framework that risked turning the justice system into a tool
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of intimidation. Several senators pointed to internal language suggesting the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: traditional safeguards probable cause, evidentiary thresholds, prosecutorial restraints were seen
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: as quote unquote just obstacles rather than protections of those
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that are innocent. And that's where the abuse of power
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: argument became central. Because federal authority is used not just
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to enforce the law, but to reinterpret it and apply
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: it selectively. Then you don't just have a legal issue,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you have a constitutional one. Now. President Trump responded swiftly
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and forcefully, and remarks following the hearing, Trump described the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: revelations as one of the most dangerous abuse of powers
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ever uncovered in Washington. President Trump didn't stop there. He
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: also went on to say that Arctic frost was a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: coordinated effort to silence political opposition under the guise of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. Trump also reiterated a core argument he made repeatedly,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the federal agencies were turned against the American people, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that was clearly revealed in the hearing, and it proves
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the system was rigged at the highest levels. Now, if
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you want to know just how political this was, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to this part of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the shocking amount of data that came out. Senator Cruz
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: confirming that Biden's FBI allright wired tap the current White
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: House Chief of Staff, Susie Wilds, during a privileged call
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: with her lawyer without the consent of either party. Yes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so much for client privilege with your attorney. No, they said,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we don't care. We want to listen in because we're
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: trying to find anything we can on Donald Trump.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Jack Smith issued nearly two hundred subpoenas. Is that correct? Yes,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: those subpoenas targeted over four hundred Republican individuals and organizations. Correct, Correct,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: many of whom had no connection to those who entered
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the Capitol on January sixth.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, And in fact, some of those organizations didn't even
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: exist on January sixth.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So we're not.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Talking about a narrow investigation. We're talking about a sweeping
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: operation targeting virtually the entirety of the other side.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Pull it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: It was a phishing expedition.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So let's turn to the constitution. Subpoenaing the toll records
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: of members of Congress? Does that raise serious constitutional concerns?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Absolutely? And in fact, we have the pen who notified
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: the Special Consul's office of those concerns, and Jack Smith
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: had apparently said that he was going to consult with
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: the Solicitor General, according to the release of the information
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: from Senator Grassley this morning. Yet, when he was deposed
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: by the House and was specifically asked if he spoke
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: with the Solicitor General, he said on this discrete issue, no, among.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Other issues, it raises significant issues with the Speech and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Debate clause. Correct. Absolutely so much so that, as you noted,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: when when Jack Smith subpoenat AT and T to get
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: my toll records, AT and T refused to comply with
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the subpoena because they concluded that it violated the Speech
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and debate clauses, that correct.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Absolutely correct, and they backed down.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Jack Smith did not try to enforce that subpoena, didty
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He did not. He did not go to court and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: litigate the matter, did he?
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: He did not?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Does that suggest, as it does to me, that he
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: knew damn well what he was doing was illegal and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: would not be upheld in court.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It does suggest that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: When the federal government subpoenas donor lists internal communications organization records,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: does that implicate the First Amendment and also freedom association.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: In particular, it does, and the Supreme Court made that
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: clear in the ENDOLACP.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Case Mimss Chamberlain. Aside from the legal violations, what specific crimes,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: if any, were actually uncovered as a result of the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Arctic Frost investigation?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not aware of any crimes that were uncovered.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Would the senators, donors, organizations, and individuals who were surveiled
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and subpoenaed have ever learned learned about the Arctic Frost
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: investigation had Trump not one in twenty twenty.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Four, Probably not, mainly because of these non disclosure orders,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: but also I mean the fact that a lot of
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: these records were now just learning about them because they
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: were in these prohibited access files only available to their
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: FBI director. So if the FBI director is a Democrat,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: there's no reason to think we know about them.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: How would you compare the scope of the violations in
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Arctic Frost to Watergate?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think, if anything, it might even be greater. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: mean the scope of this in terms of the sheer
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: number of people and organizations affected, And as I discussed,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I mean this brazen violation of attorney client privileged wiretapping
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a phone call between Susie Wilds and her lawyer. These
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: are egregious offenses. And you know, if Watergate was just
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: about a single break in, I mean this is effectively,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: you know, compound that by two hundred.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You may have heard that shocking revelation no crimes were
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: found in Operation Arctic Frost because it wasn't about crimes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It was about framing your political opponent and trying to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: entrap them and charge them with crimes that you made
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: out of thin air. Senator Cruz wrapped it up perfectly
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when he said this that the Judiciary.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Hearing Watergate was about a handful of files in a
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: single office. This reached into tens of thousands of private communications, emails, records,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and personal data. Tall records, bank records, donor lists, law
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: firm records, and other personal files relating to every major
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: conservative organization were subpoena.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: That is a perfect example of just how widespread the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: abuse of power really was. And now the question is
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: will those that abuse their power be held to account?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what Judiciary Committee seems to be working towards.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And not only were they going after the president, they
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: were also going after major conservative organizations. Turning point USA
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: America First Policy Institute, even the Republican National Committee, So
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: this may be just the tip of the Iceberg Quick
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Break Ben Ferguson Showmore coming up. Joe Biden released illegal alien,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: shot and killed Sheridan Gorman as she ran for her
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: life is now what the prosecutors have said. That illegal
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: alien was released into the United States of America on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: purpose by former President Joe Biden's administration. That same individual
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: shot and killed this eighteen year old of freshman at
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Loyola University of Chicago as she ran for her life.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: We now know trying to flee for safety is what
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the prosecutors are now alleging in documents. Now, this twenty
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: five year old illegal alien from Venezuela was arrested by
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Police Apartment and he's been charged with murdering
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Sheridan Gorman, who also went by sheriff in a random
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: attack on a pier at Chicago by the Beach. Prosecutors
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: are now providing new details as to what they say
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: occurred on the night of March nineteenth, and here is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: part of their report. They say at one thirty am, Gorman, eighteen,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was with a group of friends on the pier a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: few blocks north of the university's campus. Gorman alerted her
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: friends that someone was hiding near the pier, at which
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: point the group of friends was chased by the person,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: who has been identified as Jose Medina Medina of Venezuela.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Medina opened fire and shot Gorman in her back as
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: she tried to run away. She was pronounced dead at
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the scene. Gorman's friends were able to duck for cover
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in the grassy area near the pier as Medina ran
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: back back to an apartment on North Sheridan Road where
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: he had left earlier. Gorman's friends observed Medina dressed mostly
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in black, including a black face mask. Sheridan's friends and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: family have also now created a go Fundme page to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: help cover the young woman's memorial service and a scholarship
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in her honor. Shaa loved deeply and live fully. The
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: go fundme page reads, she loved Jesus, her family, her
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: sister Mattie, most of all, her lifelong friends, and the simple,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: beautiful moments that made up her life. She had a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: way of making everyone feel special, seen and loved to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: know her was to be changed by her On Sunday,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement, you know, ICE agents, the same
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: people Democrats want to abolish. Revealed that Medina is an
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: illegal alien from Venezuela who was apprehended at the southern
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: border on May the ninth, twenty twenty three. Thanks to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: former President Joe Biden's expansive catch and release policy, Medina
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was released from border patrol, custing into the US interior.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: One month later, on June nineteenth, Medina was arrested in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Chicago for shoplifting. Thanks to Chicago and Illinois strict sanctuary policies,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the illegal alien was released from police custody without being
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: turned over to ICE agents for arrest and deportation. Now
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Medina remains in police Costina is reportedly being treated for tuberculosis.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Is what the latest documents reveal. What's even more shocking
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: about this is how far the Democrats are willing to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: go to claim that somehow, this illegal immigrant really shouldn't
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: be blamed for this murder. I'll give you a perfect example,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: because they care more about one group of people, legal immigrants,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: more than they do about American citizens. Let me introduce
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you to Chicago Democratic forty ninth Ward Alderman Maria Hayden,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who pretty much blames Gorman for her own murder in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a local Fox interview that she's done. Listen to what
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: she has to say about how maybe it was her
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: fault for startling the man that assassinated her.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Well, from what I've been told so far, right from
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: what police know, from speaking to the students who were
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: with her, it seems she might have that as they
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: were just out. You know, people go out to the
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: beach all the time, right, and they go out on
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: the pier, they walk around. So the kids were out
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: doing normal, normal things people do in the neighborhood, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: it sounds like this might have been a wrong place,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: wrong time, running into a person who had a gun.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: They might have startled this person at the end of
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: the peer unintentionally. But that's all we know from what
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: I've been told, what police investigation has turned up so far,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: what they've been able to share with Medium, with Loyola University,
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: we don't believe there is costs for broader community concern.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: To be clear, you have an Alderman, a Democrat, that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: said the kids were out doing normal things people do
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, and it sounds like they might have
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: just been a wrong place, wrong time, situation, running into
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a person who had a gun. They might have unintentionally
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: startled this person at the end of the peer That
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is her exact quote. These people are sick to blame
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: an innocent freshman, eighteen year old student who was spending
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: time with her family and friends and love the Lord
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and claiming that somehow her killing, her assassination was somehow
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: her fault. I want you to listen to those words again.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: This should be put everywhere on social media. You have
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a student that was assassinated, and this is how the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Democrats respond.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: All the time, right, And they go out on the peer.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: They walk around so that the kids were out doing normal,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time,
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: running into a person who had a gun. They might
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: have startled this person at the end of the year unintentionally.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: But that's all the time, right, and they go out.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: It is amazing to hear Democrats actually say that. By
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the way, if you think, well, that's just some local
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: elected official and surely they don't actually mean this. Well,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, another Democrat, the leader of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in the House. He was asked if
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: he believed that Venezuela and a legal alien charged with
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: murdering Sheridan Gorman in Chicago should be deported, A very
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: simple question. Any sane person would answer that question with yes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of course they should be deported, not a Keem Jeffries,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party stands up for illegal immigrants, not Americans,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: even when they're brutally murdered. What did Hakim say? He said,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: just five words. Listen carefully.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: An illegal immigrant has been charged with murdering a college
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: student in Chicago last week.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: To House Democrats believe if he's convicted, he's someone who
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: should be deported.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I'll look into the case.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Do you expect.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Anyone I'll look into the case. That is all that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the leader of the Democratic Party had to say. No
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: compassion for the family, no compassion for anyone else involved.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And let's be clear, it isn't just this girl that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: was killed in Chicago. We also have another story that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: is not making national news. And I'll ask for your
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: help right now sharing this story and this show wherever
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you can. An illegal alien from me Mexico living in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Utah has just been charged with attempted murder after authority
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: said he's slit a woman's throat. Heesus Ramirez Padilla has
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: now been charged with attempted murder, obstruction of justice, aggravate assault,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and drug paraphernalia after the March eighteenth incident in Salt
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Lake City. According to the Department of Homeland Security, immigration
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: authorities are requesting that local officials honor a detainer lodged
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: against the suspect. Again, this is where Democrats apparently don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: like to turn over bad people to the federal government. Now,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the victim is reportedly in critical condition right now in
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the hospital. The woman's identity has not been revealed. Heyzus
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: is a dangerous criminal legal alien who violently strangled and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: slit a woman's throat multiple times, is what the DHS
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Biss said in a statement. We
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: are called on politicians and not released this barbaric criminal
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: from jail and into American neighborhoods. This criminal legal alien
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: has no place in American communities. According to the local reports,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Padilla and the woman were smoking methamphetamine before the alleged crime.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Police responded to report of a woman crying in an
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: alley and found her bleeding with a deep cut in
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: her neck. A homeowner surveillance camera reportedly caught the incident
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: on camera, leading to the identification of the illegal immigrant.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: When he was arrested, his hands and pants were covered
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in blood. According to the reports, he met the victim
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the previous night, and they met up to take drugs
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: together the night of the alleged murder attempt. Padilla also
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: reportedly confessed to police that he strangled the victim and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: slit her throat, but said the drugs altered his state
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of mind. It's unclear whether Padilla, who remained in the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake County jail as of Tuesday, has obtained even
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: legal council. I'm sure there's some group out there that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: will be more than happy to represent an illegal immigrant
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that did this. The suspected attempted murder comes on the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: heels of several other high profile crimes in which illegal
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: aliens are the prime suspect. As I mentioned earlier the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: one of this student in Chicago, and in late February,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: there was another high profile case of an alleged illegal
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: alien crime that made national news when abdul Leone was
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: charged with murder and the stabbing death of Stephanie Minter
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in Fairfax County, Virginia Leone. Just so you know how
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: bad his record was, had thirty prior arrest I want
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to say that again, thirty prior arrests. So the final
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: question that everyone should be asking right now is this,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: why are Democrats so committed to keeping illegal immigrants in
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the country, and that they're so willing to a woman
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: allegedly shot by one of those illegals in Chicago to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: avoid talking about deportations. The good news is President Donald
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Trump has just sworn in Mark Wayne Mullen as the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security Secretary after it was expedited through the Senate.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: At least now we know that we have someone at
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: DHS that is willing to go all in to protect
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Americans from vicious individuals, just like this individual in Chicago, jd. Vance.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: He's got a new job. Yeah, he's still the Vice president,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but now he's leading that task force to eliminate fraud.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And now the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: identified and suspended seventy hospice in home health businesses in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles alone that were flagged as high risk fraudulent providers.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: We've now learned. Now, let me just take you back
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a month when JD. Vance was announced for this position,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and this is what he said was going to happen,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and it's already happening now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Time you've got a new job.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: It is the announcement last night from the President.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I'm officially announcing the War on Fraud, to be led
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: by our great Vice President JD.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Vince.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: We all get it done, and we're able to find
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: enough of that fraud, we will actually have a balanced
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: budget overnight.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: So here are some of the allegations. California eight billion
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: and suspected COVID fraud, Minnesota nineteen, Massachusetts almost fifteen, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: main forty five million in improper medicaid payments. As you
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: look at this, go ahead and explain it to us,
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: because we want to understand what.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: The job is.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: And what do you think the number is?
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know what the top line number, bill is,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: and I think that's unfortunate that nobody has ever tried
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: to take a systematic look at how much fraud there
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: is in the federal government, how many illegal aliens are
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: on medicaid. We know that it's billions and billions of
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: dollars that should go to American citizens, it's going to
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: illegal aliens. How many fraudulent daycare centers have been set
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: up where that money should go to American citizens to
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: help their kids get into childcare, Instead it's being stolen
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: from them by illegal aliens in our country. How much
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: have government officials actually been complicit in this fraud because
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: some of them have gotten wealthy or at the least
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: they've gotten campaign donations from the people who've gotten rich
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: from that fraud. The story of the American economy in
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: so many ways during the Biden administration Bill is that
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: the American citizen was ripped off for people who shouldn't
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: be here and by politicians who should have known better.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: And the Trump administration, the President has asked me to
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: take a full whole government approach to trying to understand
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: that what does that mean? Bill? That means, first of all,
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: the Apartment of Justice is going to be investigating and
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: where possible, throwing fraudsters in prison. But it's also going
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: to mean that Scott Bessent and some of our friends
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: at the Treasury Department, we're going to be looking at
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: income tax records We're going to be trying to understand
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: how it is that the American people have been defrauded,
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: how it is that people have used resources and programs
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: that should go to American citizens instead have been going
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: to fraudule uses. There's a whole host of tools that
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: we have that have never been used. And the President
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: I talked about this a couple of months ago and said,
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: what if we just did everything that we could to
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: stop the fraud that's being committed against the American taxpayer.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: The President said, great, idea, Let's do it, and we're
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: going to work on that very aggressively over the next year.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Need a quick answer over the next year is that
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: the timeframe is that twelve months?
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Well, it's going to continue beyond that. But I think
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: that we've already discovered a lot bill and really I
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: think the year the next year is where we're going
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: to try to uncover as much as possible and run
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: at this as much as we can. But it's not
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: going to stop after.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: A year now. As you heard the Vice presidents say there,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: this is all about having a task force to root
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: out waste, fraud and abuse. Well, now that's clearly ramping
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: up and we are expecting the number of investigations as
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: of today to grow exponentially. The task force, which President
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Trump established earlier this month, now seeks to build on
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the work of addressing Minnesota fraud that VANCE and the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: CMS administrator doctor Oz announced last month. On February the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth, for example, VANCE announced the administration was halting
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: certain amounts of medicaid funding to Minnesota until the state
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: government learns to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Doctor
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Oz noted that there would be about two hundred and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: fifty nine million in deferred payments for Medicaid to the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: state of Minnesota alone. The task Force, through interagency coordination,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: will examine every state for waste, fraud, and abuse, is
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: what sources are now saying, adding that the task force
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: will follow cms's template in its early work, partially because
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: of cms's data infrastructure for locating and taking action against
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: those who may be committing fraud. Now. According to sources
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: familiar with the matter, CMS has an AI driven internal
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: fraud detection system that can both flag claims for review
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and block claims flagged as likely fraudulent, and it will
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: be scaled throughout the government to aid the task Force
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in its mission. Now, the task Force, they say, is
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: in the process of onboarding CMS technologists to scale the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: AI system. In a statement to Brightbart News, spokesman from
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Vance's office said the Vice President is looking forward to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: carrying out the present's war on fraud, saying this, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: American people deserve better than being ripped off by people
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: who hate this country, and the Task Force to Eliminate
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Fraud will ensure that essential taxpayer funded services are used
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to support the hardworking Americans who rely on them instead
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of being used by fraudsters and criminals. Now, just a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: quick reminder, the fraud that we just talked about is
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: only in La So how much fraud is there out
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: there in California in general? Well, hundreds of millions of
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: dollars in frauds on hospice billing has been now tied
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to the state of California alone in broader healthcare and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: hospice fraud. Nationwide, billions and improper Medicare payments are being
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: flagged as we speak now. California is consistently identified as
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the top state versus asbitious hospice growth and billing spikes
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in some regions of the state hospice providers have exploded
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: in number by far beyond what the patient population would
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: possibly justify. Even government regulators have flag now clusters of
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: new companies billing Medicare at unusually high rates. The schemes,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: they're shocking and brazen. Fake and ineligible patients have already
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: been found, individuals that have been enrolled in hospice who
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: are not terminally ill. Some patients didn't even know they
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: were listed as hospice recipients. And then we're hearing about
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: kickbacks and recruitment schemes where brokers paid to find patients
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and then steer them into specific hospice programs. We also
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: know that cash payments or incentives were used to sign
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: people up, as well as kickbacks to them. And then
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: there's even billing for phantom services that have been uncovered,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: charging Medicare for visits, treatments, or care that never even happened.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Recycling patients is also something else that's been uncovered in California.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? It means moving patients between providers
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to restart billing cycles and maximize fraudulent payouts. Now why California, Well,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: California lawmakers have allowed for this hot spot to become
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a reality with extremely weak oversight, and that's also allowed,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: they say, rapid licensing of new hospice providers. They knew
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that there was too many popping up compared to the population,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't care. We also know that high medicare spinning
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: create a huge financial target, and the state knew that
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: was happening. And guess what, Gavin knew. Some of the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Democrats didn't care. Enforcement also were being told lag behind
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the explosive growth in providers. Gavin knwsome knew about as
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: well and didn't care. At one point, officials warned, for example,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that Los Angeles County alone had more hospice agencies than
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: many entire states in this country combined, and that was
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in one city. A recent congressional investigation highlighted massive taxpayer
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: losses tied to fraudulent hospice claims, failures in federal oversight
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to stop bad actors early when there was massive warning
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: signs and serious concerns that organized fraud networks were actually
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: exploding and then exploiting the system statewide in California. Now,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: lawmakers they knew this wasn't a small scale fraud. They
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: understood early on with all the warning signs that were
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: going off that it was a systemic abuse. So the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: question is why didn't they crack down on it in California.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Part of it may be as simple as this. Many
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: of the fraudsters were giving kickbacks or better known as
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: political contributions to people in power in the state of California,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and that's exactly what the Vice presidents in charge of uncovering,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and hopefully real people will be held accountable and go
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to jail. Make sure you share this podcast, please wherever
