Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Vice President jd Vance.
- 0:02Speaker 2: He seems to be loving his new job is the
- 0:04Speaker 2: fraud Tzar. In fact, he is uncovering fraud all over
- 0:08Speaker 2: the country. Just two days ago, the news broke that
- 0:12Speaker 2: jd Vance was freezing serious cash. It was supposed to
- 0:16Speaker 2: be going to California, as it was on Jesse Waters
- 0:19Speaker 2: Show on Fox News.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Here's how I was explained.
- 0:22Speaker 3: And today the frauds are jd Vance froze over a
- 0:26Speaker 3: billion bucks headed to California. If Gavin wants the money,
- 0:29Speaker 3: he needs to open up the books.
- 0:32Speaker 4: And we believe that at least half of the hospices
- 0:34Speaker 4: in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent, and
- 0:38Speaker 4: today we announced eight hundred of those hospices have been suspended.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Mister Vice president, if your core business was shut down
- 0:45Speaker 4: by the federal government, would you call Yes, you would
- 0:48Speaker 4: call crickets. We have less than twenty who have complained.
- 0:52Speaker 4: We're not even sure there's are legitimate eight hundred hospices
- 0:56Speaker 4: shut down, and we're not hearing much.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It's crickets out there.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Vance as dirty doctors are running wild.
- 1:02Speaker 5: You have people who've been prescribed medications that they don't
- 1:06Speaker 5: even need. Sometimes they've had drugs put into their bodies
- 1:09Speaker 5: that they don't need because fraudsters have actually encouraged false
- 1:13Speaker 5: prescriptions and false administration to medications.
- 1:17Speaker 6: So think about this.
- 1:17Speaker 5: You're just a person trying to go see a doctor.
- 1:19Speaker 5: You assume that your doctor is doing the right thing.
- 1:22Speaker 5: But these fraudulent healthcare providers are getting rich by giving
- 1:26Speaker 5: people medications they don't even need.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Fraudsters are whacking taxpayers like a pinata.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Half of the fraud we believe in the federal government
- 1:35Speaker 4: could be coming out.
- 1:35Speaker 7: Of healthcare services.
- 1:37Speaker 4: We're a large rhino that can be stabbed effortlessly by
- 1:42Speaker 4: foreign governments.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Everywhere we look, more fraud pops up. One of Big
- 1:46Speaker 3: Gretch's big donors. She just got busted. Fay Badoon was
- 1:50Speaker 3: hit with sixteen charges. She's accused of stealing twenty mili
- 1:54Speaker 3: of taxpayer cash from government grants that Whitmer signed off on.
- 1:59Speaker 3: So she donated to Whitmer and Whitmer sends her taxpayer money.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Funny how that always happens.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Now you think that's just the tip of the iceberg, right, Well,
- 2:08Speaker 2: guess what it absolutely is. And now we are being
- 2:11Speaker 2: told from Jadie Vance that the fraud that has been discovered,
- 2:15Speaker 2: for example, in Maine may be more shocking than anywhere
- 2:19Speaker 2: else we've seen so far. This the Vice President and
- 2:22Speaker 2: Bangerman talking about protecting your taxpayer dollars.
- 2:27Speaker 5: But because I love this state, I can say I
- 2:29Speaker 5: am heartbroken by what has happened to the fraud that's
- 2:33Speaker 5: being perpetrated on the taxpayers of this state. Because outside
- 2:37Speaker 5: of Minnesota and California, which are probably number one and
- 2:40Speaker 5: number two, if they're the gold medalist and the silver medalist,
- 2:44Speaker 5: I heard somebody shout out in New York, maybe new
- 2:47Speaker 5: York is the bronze medalist. But let me be honest,
- 2:49Speaker 5: maybe Maine is the bronze medalist.
- 2:52Speaker 6: Because if you.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Look at the fraud that has happened in this state,
- 2:56Speaker 5: if you look at the illegal immigrant communities who have
- 2:59Speaker 5: taken benefit that ought by rights go to the people
- 3:02Speaker 5: in this room, what you have in Maine is a
- 3:05Speaker 5: festering problem where people have been taken advantage of and
- 3:08Speaker 5: they've been stolen from, and your government hasn't done anything
- 3:12Speaker 5: about it.
- 3:13Speaker 6: You ask yourself, why did.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Maine go from a state that did not have a
- 3:17Speaker 5: serious fraud problem to one where I can honestly say
- 3:19Speaker 5: it's one of the worst.
- 3:20Speaker 6: States in the Union.
- 3:21Speaker 5: And I'll give you two answers and two politicians. Number
- 3:29Speaker 5: one is Janet Mills and number two is Joe Biden.
- 3:32Speaker 5: And thankfully, thankfully, one of them has already been kicked
- 3:36Speaker 5: to the curb, and one is on our way out
- 3:38Speaker 5: the door, exactly as I should be.
- 3:41Speaker 2: What's interesting about what Jeddi Vans just said there is
- 3:44Speaker 2: why did Maine and how did Maine go from a
- 3:46Speaker 2: state that did not have a serious fraud problem to
- 3:49Speaker 2: one where I can honestly say it's one of the
- 3:51Speaker 2: worst states in the Union. He said, The answer is clear,
- 3:56Speaker 2: Janet Mills and Joe Biden. One's already gone on the
- 4:00Speaker 2: others on our way out. Thankfully. Every day Americans make
- 4:04Speaker 2: choices that shape our country's future, right down to which
- 4:08Speaker 2: cell phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't
- 4:12Speaker 2: actually realize. Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider. They're
- 4:17Speaker 2: an activist organization funded by selling top tier cell service.
- 4:21Speaker 2: They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long
- 4:24Speaker 2: before it was cool, standing up and the gap when
- 4:27Speaker 2: others wouldn't. The best part is they deliver prioritized, premium
- 4:33Speaker 2: service on all three major US networks giving you the
- 4:36Speaker 2: same or even better coverage backed by one hundred percent
- 4:40Speaker 2: US based customer support. You get unlimited data, mobile hotspots,
- 4:45Speaker 2: international roaming, and so much more.
- 4:47Speaker 1: But when you switch to Patriot Mobile, that's what I
- 4:50Speaker 1: love the most. You'll help grow a movement that fuels
- 4:53Speaker 1: the Christian Conservative cause. Every bill you pay helps advance
- 4:58Speaker 1: the values of faith, family, and freedom. And switching is
- 5:01Speaker 1: easier than ever.
- 5:03Speaker 2: You can literally activate in minutes, keep your number, keep
- 5:06Speaker 2: your phone, or upgrade.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So take a stand today.

- 5:31Speaker 2: two Patriot to make the switch today. The Vice President
- 5:36Speaker 2: making it clear this is the Democratic Party and they
- 5:39Speaker 2: are heavily involved in the fraud. As the Vice President
- 5:44Speaker 2: went on to say.
- 5:44Speaker 5: This question of certain amounts of fraud being so low
- 5:48Speaker 5: level that people weren't even looking at it is it's
- 5:51Speaker 5: impossible to get to the high level fraudsters unless you're
- 5:54Speaker 5: sometimes willing to look at the low level frausters too.
- 5:57Speaker 5: I mean, how many of us have watched good mob movie?
- 6:01Speaker 5: And how do those prosecutions always start that You never
- 6:04Speaker 5: start with the boss. You start with the low level
- 6:06Speaker 5: guys who then give you some sense of the criminal enterprise,
- 6:10Speaker 5: and then you can go after the high level fraud
- 6:12Speaker 5: and the high level crime.
- 6:13Speaker 6: The fact that we were turned.
- 6:14Speaker 5: A blind eye to fraud under a million dollars meant
- 6:18Speaker 5: that we weren't even looking at the people who were
- 6:20Speaker 5: sitting on top of.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Some of these fraud rings.
- 6:22Speaker 5: And we do see already signs in Minnesota, for example,
- 6:25Speaker 5: of some very sophisticated stuff. I mean, sometimes I see
- 6:28Speaker 5: these fraud rings and I think to myself, you know, sir,
- 6:31Speaker 5: if you just started like a real business.
- 6:34Speaker 6: Now.
- 6:34Speaker 1: The Vice President wasn't done there.
- 6:36Speaker 2: He also had this to say about illegal immigrants and
- 6:39Speaker 2: the fraud they're committing against so many American taxpayers as well.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Alien goes and steals their identity and applies for snap benefits.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Now all of a sudden, they're tagged in the banking system.
- 6:50Speaker 5: Their credit score is ruined. Not because they did a
- 6:54Speaker 5: single thing wrong, but because somebody stole their identity. Fraud
- 6:59Speaker 5: is exact exactly what happens when you've got a government
- 7:02Speaker 5: that is not fighting for the American people, but is
- 7:05Speaker 5: fighting for fraudsters and illegal aliens.
- 7:08Speaker 6: And it had to stop.
- 7:09Speaker 5: And under the Trump administration, we are fighting.
- 7:12Speaker 6: It every single day.
- 7:22Speaker 5: And again it is every single day I learn of
- 7:26Speaker 5: something new. I learn about people who say that they're
- 7:29Speaker 5: claiming for hospice services but in fact they're not providing
- 7:33Speaker 5: any services, and they're making hundreds of millions or billions.
- 7:36Speaker 6: Of dollars in the process.
- 7:38Speaker 5: Talk about something that we've seen in Minneapolis, but also
- 7:42Speaker 5: in Maine. We have seen people go out there and
- 7:44Speaker 5: say that they're providing services to autistic children, when in
- 7:49Speaker 5: reality they maybe don't have any children at all, or
- 7:52Speaker 5: they certainly don't have autistic children. So they get paid
- 7:55Speaker 5: millions and millions of year dollars to provide services that
- 8:00Speaker 5: they're not actually providing. And oh, by the way, what
- 8:03Speaker 5: happened to the autistic children and their families who actually
- 8:06Speaker 5: need those services and need a competent government to ensure
- 8:10Speaker 5: that they're doing the right thing. My friends, this has
- 8:12Speaker 5: gone on for far too long. You have been fleeced
- 8:15Speaker 5: by your own government for far too long, and we
- 8:18Speaker 5: are stopping it every single day.
- 8:22Speaker 6: Now.
- 8:23Speaker 2: There was one final point that the Vice President wanted
- 8:25Speaker 2: to make, and it's one that many Americans, I'm one
- 8:29Speaker 2: of them, you're one of them, I'm sure, is asking
- 8:31Speaker 2: the question, when is there going to be accountability for
- 8:35Speaker 2: all of this. I want you to listen to what JD.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Van t had to say about the lack of accountability
- 8:41Speaker 2: and what may be coming.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Well, there's got to be accountability because here one of
- 8:45Speaker 5: the things I learned, and I was shocked by this,
- 8:48Speaker 5: is that when we have what is defined as low
- 8:50Speaker 5: level fraud, let's say a person defrauds all of you
- 8:53Speaker 5: for a million bucks, too many of our Department of
- 8:56Speaker 5: Justice leaders under the Biden administration they said that was
- 8:59Speaker 5: too low level to actually go after.
- 9:01Speaker 6: So, I mean, how many of you would like the
- 9:04Speaker 6: federal government to handy a million dollars?
- 9:07Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, there were fraudsters out there who were getting
- 9:10Speaker 5: a million dollars of your money and the government wasn't
- 9:13Speaker 5: even paying attention to it.
- 9:15Speaker 2: What we know now is the government is paying attention
- 9:19Speaker 2: to it. This is one of those moments when the
- 9:21Speaker 2: Vice President says it is time for America to be
- 9:24Speaker 2: ready for US to act exposing massive fraud rings involving
- 9:29Speaker 2: hospice care and services for autistic children. Billions are being
- 9:33Speaker 2: stolen from vulnerable Americans, and he said, we have seen
- 9:37Speaker 2: people go out there and say they're providing services for
- 9:40Speaker 2: autistic children, when in reality they maybe don't have any
- 9:44Speaker 2: children at all, or they certainly don't have autistic children.
- 9:49Speaker 2: What happened to the autistic children and their families who
- 9:52Speaker 2: actually needed these services and need a competent government to
- 9:55Speaker 2: ensure that they're doing the right thing. Well, the Vice
- 9:58Speaker 2: president's making it clear now he's on top of it
- 10:02Speaker 2: and going after the fraudsters and getting ready to put
- 10:05Speaker 2: many of them in jail.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Quick break, All right, let's do a quick.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Recap of what has been happening in China as President
- 10:14Speaker 2: Donald Trump has visited Beijing, and it's already being described
- 10:18Speaker 2: by not only the White House but also Chinese state
- 10:20Speaker 2: media as one of the most significant US China summits
- 10:24Speaker 2: in years, and politically, economically, and strategically, the visit is
- 10:28Speaker 2: shaping up as a major moment for this administration. Now
- 10:32Speaker 2: the headline so far has been pretty simple. After years
- 10:35Speaker 2: of tariff wars, economic uncertainty, and rising tensions between Washington
- 10:41Speaker 2: and Beijing, Trump walked into China looking to prove that
- 10:45Speaker 2: he can negotiate from a position of strength instead of weakness,
- 10:49Speaker 2: and walk away with a deal that directly benefits the
- 10:52Speaker 2: American workers, American manufacturing, and American exports as well, and
- 10:58Speaker 2: so far, the White House believes that's exactly what has happened.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Now.
- 11:02Speaker 2: One of the biggest developments has come out this summit
- 11:04Speaker 2: is the expectation of massive new Chinese purchases of American goods,
- 11:09Speaker 2: including Boeing aircraft, American agriculture, and US energy exports. The
- 11:15Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary of Scott Bessen said officials expect major announcements
- 11:19Speaker 2: involving Boeing orders during the trip, which has happened along
- 11:23Speaker 2: with expanded access for American companies into Chinese markets. Now
- 11:29Speaker 2: that matters enormously for the American economy, the American worker,
- 11:33Speaker 2: and the American farmer.
- 11:35Speaker 1: A large Boeing deal alone.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Could support thousands of high paying manufacturing jobs and states
- 11:41Speaker 2: across the US, add in soybean exports, agricultural contracts, energy sales,
- 11:47Speaker 2: and technology investment, and the White House is now framing
- 11:51Speaker 2: this trip as proof that Donald Trump's aggressive trade posture
- 11:55Speaker 2: against China force Beijing back to the negotiating table. And remember,
- 12:00Speaker 2: just over a year ago the two countries were locked
- 12:03Speaker 2: into a brutal trade war. Now, if you think the
- 12:06Speaker 2: present's blowing smoke, you weren't paying attention to just how
- 12:10Speaker 2: nice the Chinese were to the present in greeting him.
- 12:13Speaker 2: It was something he talked about with Sean Hannity on
- 12:15Speaker 2: Fox News Interview.
- 12:17Speaker 7: We appreciate it. Wow, they rolled out the red carpet.
- 12:22Speaker 8: I have a video of when Barack Hussein Obama came
- 12:27Speaker 8: to China. There wasn't as much pageantry from your perspective,
- 12:33Speaker 8: that welcome.
- 12:33Speaker 7: What did that? How did you interpret that?
- 12:35Speaker 9: Well, we have a relationship he and I and we've
- 12:38Speaker 9: been working together a long time. We've gotten along well.
- 12:41Speaker 9: When I first came here, China has really taking advantage
- 12:44Speaker 9: of the United States. He understands it, and now we
- 12:47Speaker 9: do great with China, and we have a very good relationship.
- 12:51Speaker 7: We have a friendship. Really.
- 12:53Speaker 9: He's a tremendous leader. He's been here a long time,
- 12:57Speaker 9: very powerful, very strong. There's no doubt about it, and
- 13:01Speaker 9: we just have a good relationship. I did actually see
- 13:03Speaker 9: other people arrive here that not treated so well that
- 13:06Speaker 9: we were treated very well.
- 13:07Speaker 7: So that was meaningful for you.
- 13:10Speaker 9: Well, I mean if I got out of a plane
- 13:13Speaker 9: and nobody was there agreed me, I would say that
- 13:15Speaker 9: wouldn't be so cool, because it's really respect for our country.
- 13:18Speaker 9: Our country is respected. Look with the hottest country right
- 13:21Speaker 9: now anywhere in the world. But he and I know
- 13:23Speaker 9: each other well I think beyond maybe that. But we
- 13:26Speaker 9: certainly got a very nice greeting, and today was beautiful.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The President talking about just how beautiful it was to
- 13:32Speaker 2: be respected as a country. And all of this happened
- 13:35Speaker 2: because of the tough work the president did. Remember the
- 13:38Speaker 2: tariff skyrocketed, supply chains were disrupted, rare with minerals, became
- 13:43Speaker 2: a major leverage point for the White House. China retaliated
- 13:46Speaker 2: against the US with their tariffs and tensions over Taiwan.
- 13:50Speaker 2: You also have fights over artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and military influence.
- 13:56Speaker 2: The Pacific pushed the relationship, you could argue to the edge.
- 14:00Speaker 2: But now the Trump administration is showing that Trump's hardline
- 14:05Speaker 2: approach created real leverage and instead of backing down. Trump
- 14:10Speaker 2: kept the pressure up on Beijing, kept it up through
- 14:13Speaker 2: the tariffs, through the trade restrictions, and efforts to rebuild
- 14:18Speaker 2: American manufacturing, and now, according to the administration officials, China
- 14:24Speaker 2: is signaling it wants what they describe as stability and
- 14:29Speaker 2: access to the US economy more than they want confrontation.
- 14:34Speaker 2: That's one reason this summit is being viewed as such
- 14:36Speaker 2: a major diplomatic moment. Another huge story from the visitors
- 14:41Speaker 2: the presence of major American business leaders traveling alongside the president.
- 14:47Speaker 2: We're talking about CEOs and tech leaders participating in meetings,
- 14:51Speaker 2: including executives connected to Boeing, Apple, Tesla, and other major companies.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Trump even told Fox News the Chinese officials discussed potentially
- 15:02Speaker 2: investing hundreds of billions of dollars into US link technology
- 15:07Speaker 2: and business partnerships. Now, politically, that gives Trump something to
- 15:11Speaker 2: love to campaign on investment, job creation, and manufacturing, not
- 15:15Speaker 2: overseas but back in the United States. The White House
- 15:20Speaker 2: has already portraying this trip as evidence that Trump's economic
- 15:23Speaker 2: nationalism has worked, That the tariffs worked, that pressure forced
- 15:28Speaker 2: China into real negotiations for the first time in decades,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and previous administrations, they never even got close to what
- 15:36Speaker 2: is happening right now. And then there's a geopolitical side
- 15:39Speaker 2: of all this trip as well. The summit hasn't just
- 15:43Speaker 2: focused on economics. The two leaders have also spent extensive
- 15:47Speaker 2: time discussing Iran, Taiwan, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, military tensions,
- 15:56Speaker 2: as well as global stability. One of the biggest concerns
- 15:59Speaker 2: for theministration right now is China's relationship with Iran.
- 16:03Speaker 1: They are drunk on Iranian oil.
- 16:06Speaker 2: China remains one of the largest buyers of Iranian oil,
- 16:09Speaker 2: and the White House wants Beijing to pressure Tehran towards
- 16:13Speaker 2: de escalation as well as negotiations. Reuters is reporting that
- 16:18Speaker 2: Trump's team has been urging China to help stabilize the
- 16:22Speaker 2: region and avoid further disruptions tied to the Strait of
- 16:25Speaker 2: Hormuz crisis. And that's critical because the global economy is
- 16:30Speaker 2: watching every market very carefully right now. If China cooperates
- 16:36Speaker 2: even partially with the United States on Iran, the administration
- 16:39Speaker 2: could claim a major international win, especially given the economic
- 16:44Speaker 2: consequences of instability in the Middle East. And there are
- 16:47Speaker 2: still major fault lines between the two countries. Everyone knows
- 16:51Speaker 2: that Taiwan remains one of the most dangerous flashpoints in
- 16:55Speaker 2: the world. Chinese President reportedly warrened Trump that mishandling Taiwan
- 17:00Speaker 2: can lead to a quote major conflict. At the same time,
- 17:04Speaker 2: the US is continuing to back Taiwan militarily as well
- 17:08Speaker 2: as strategically, which Beijing is furious about.
- 17:12Speaker 1: They don't like it and they describe it.
- 17:13Speaker 2: As interference in its internal affairs. And then there's the
- 17:18Speaker 2: race on Ai and technology competition. Both the US and
- 17:23Speaker 2: China are trying to get a leg up on one another,
- 17:27Speaker 2: and they're trying to understand that whoever dominates Ai the
- 17:30Speaker 2: semiconductor manufacturing and critical minerals could shape the next generation
- 17:35Speaker 2: of real global power. Analysts say this summit may create
- 17:39Speaker 2: communication channels to well prevent real escalation, but nobody believes
- 17:44Speaker 2: that the competition itself is going to go away anytime soon.
- 17:49Speaker 2: I want to take a quick moment and talk to
- 17:51Speaker 2: you about an incredible organization and it is called Compassion
- 17:54Speaker 2: International and how you can get involved. I want to
- 17:58Speaker 2: be honest with you for a seton about how an
- 18:01Speaker 2: act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago,
- 18:04Speaker 2: I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
- 18:08Speaker 2: called Compassion International. Why because I wanted to sponsor a
- 18:12Speaker 2: child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but
- 18:16Speaker 2: I had no idea just how much that simple act
- 18:19Speaker 2: would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and
- 18:23Speaker 2: got to watch your life change right in front of
- 18:26Speaker 2: my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets,
- 18:30Speaker 2: to getting the healthcare and education she needs to reach
- 18:34Speaker 2: her God given full potential. I got to be a
- 18:37Speaker 2: part of that change, and the light of that compassion
- 18:41Speaker 2: not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me.
- 18:45Speaker 2: That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ
- 18:49Speaker 2: shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and
- 18:53Speaker 2: change literally a child's life, change the world, and you
- 18:57Speaker 2: also change yourself. You can sponsor child today. Visit Compassion
- 19:02Speaker 2: dot com. That's Compassion dot com. One thing, though, that
- 19:07Speaker 2: is interesting, is the tone of the summit has been
- 19:10Speaker 2: a surprise to many observers. Comparing to Trump's first China
- 19:14Speaker 2: trip back in twenty seventeen, analysts say this visit has
- 19:18Speaker 2: been notably warmer and more personal. The ceremonies were elaborate,
- 19:22Speaker 2: the conversations reportedly lasted longer than expected. She and Trump
- 19:27Speaker 2: appeared relaxed publicly toward historical sites together and projected an
- 19:32Speaker 2: image of stability between the world's two largest economies. That
- 19:37Speaker 2: is extremely important because the markets, well, they hate uncertainty
- 19:40Speaker 2: all over the world. And politically, Trump wants Americans to
- 19:44Speaker 2: see him as the one leader who can simultaneously confront China,
- 19:48Speaker 2: negotiate with China, and also bring peace at the same
- 19:52Speaker 2: time resolution and that's really the broader message coming out
- 19:56Speaker 2: of this trip, especially from the White House. This administration
- 20:00Speaker 2: is making it clear the Trump's approach is not weakness
- 20:04Speaker 2: but controlled leverage pressure first, negotiation second, and results third. Critics,
- 20:11Speaker 2: of course, argue China still holds enormous economic power, and
- 20:15Speaker 2: they do, and they do it especially through their rare
- 20:17Speaker 2: earth minerals and manufacturing dominance. Some are saying that America
- 20:22Speaker 2: just has to figure out a way to do it
- 20:24Speaker 2: without China. You can decide what you want to happen there,
- 20:28Speaker 2: but one thing is for sure. The President wanted this
- 20:31Speaker 2: summit to be proof that if you put pressure on China, well,
- 20:36Speaker 2: then they may actually come to the negotiating table and
- 20:38Speaker 2: seriously offer up concessions and that's exactly what the president wants.
- 20:44Speaker 2: In fact, when President Trump was asked about the meeting
- 20:47Speaker 2: and exactly how he felt it was going, here's what
- 20:50Speaker 2: he said to Sean Hannity in your own words, how
- 20:54Speaker 2: did this meeting go?
- 20:55Speaker 7: Because I knew you were there a long time.
- 20:58Speaker 9: It was a lone meeting. It started off interestingly because
- 21:01Speaker 9: they're very organized people. And as you know, we have
- 21:05Speaker 9: about thirty of the biggest business leaders in the world,
- 21:08Speaker 9: the biggest everything, you know, I mean, you name it,
- 21:12Speaker 9: from chips to planes to everything.
- 21:15Speaker 7: And they're all here. I didn't invite them. They all
- 21:17Speaker 7: wanted to.
- 21:17Speaker 9: Come, and they're all here, and I suggested that I've
- 21:21Speaker 9: always gough at the meeting, I'd like to introduce them
- 21:23Speaker 9: to you. And they were surprised because it wasn't you know,
- 21:27Speaker 9: it wasn't scheduled. And they looked around. They said, well,
- 21:31Speaker 9: and then, uh, you know, we had everybody. Don't want
- 21:34Speaker 9: to go into names because I'll leave some out, but
- 21:36Speaker 9: there were a lot of guys.
- 21:38Speaker 7: Let them cook, a lot of peoples, you know, we
- 21:41Speaker 7: had to. We had everybody had the videos. We had just.
- 21:46Speaker 9: Everybody and men and women, all all great business are
- 21:51Speaker 9: the best and they said okay, and they spoke a
- 21:56Speaker 9: little bit and introduced themselves and interesting thin because they
- 22:00Speaker 9: do business and Shad must of them do business here,
- 22:03Speaker 9: but probably like to do more, and I'd like to
- 22:05Speaker 9: see them do more that would be good for trade
- 22:07Speaker 9: and trade balance. And they were fantastic. I'll tell you,
- 22:11Speaker 9: they really had a good time. Once they once the
- 22:15Speaker 9: Chinese leadership, because it was it was presidency and many
- 22:18Speaker 9: other leaders. Once they got used to the fact that
- 22:20Speaker 9: we're a little off schedule here and we're talking about
- 22:23Speaker 9: a subject that wasn't even thought about. But they were outside,
- 22:27Speaker 9: I said, I think we can get them in five
- 22:29Speaker 9: minutes because they were literally, you know, a few minutes
- 22:31Speaker 9: away from.
- 22:32Speaker 7: The room where we were in the Great Hall.
- 22:33Speaker 9: We were in the Great Hall, and they came in
- 22:36Speaker 9: and they did fantastically well. It was really good. I
- 22:38Speaker 9: think it was. He actually said that was very good.
- 22:41Speaker 9: That was a good idea, but it was very different
- 22:44Speaker 9: from what the schedule had And then we went on
- 22:47Speaker 9: and we talked about a lot of different subjects and
- 22:49Speaker 9: I think it was all good.
- 22:50Speaker 2: So after years of tension with Beijing, the White House,
- 22:54Speaker 2: once Americans understand one thing above all else, Donald Trump
- 22:58Speaker 2: went to China not to apologize, not to back down,
- 23:02Speaker 2: but to negotiate deals that they argue put the American
- 23:06Speaker 2: worker first. And that's exactly what seems to be coming
- 23:10Speaker 2: out of all of this. When Donald Trump ran for president,
- 23:14Speaker 2: he made it very clear he was going to put
- 23:16Speaker 2: Americans first. That was the top of his agenda. And
- 23:20Speaker 2: he was going to make sure that people that had
- 23:22Speaker 2: broken in this country, that were here illegally, would no
- 23:26Speaker 2: longer be put ahead of Americans, they wouldn't be able
- 23:29Speaker 2: to get as many government benefits as they've been getting
- 23:32Speaker 2: so far, and that he was going to move to
- 23:34Speaker 2: deport them. Well, we have a new firestorm of an
- 23:38Speaker 2: example of exactly what President Trump was talking about. It's
- 23:41Speaker 2: now erupting in Fairfax County, Virginia, and it's rapidly becoming
- 23:46Speaker 2: a national symbol and the debate over immigration as well
- 23:51Speaker 2: as the census, as well as political representation and the
- 23:54Speaker 2: future balance of power in Washington, d C. Fairfax County
- 23:59Speaker 2: is the largest county in Virginia, sitting just outside of Washington, DC,
- 24:05Speaker 2: and according to figures now being discussed by immigration analysts
- 24:09Speaker 2: and lawmakers, roughly one in five residents I want to
- 24:14Speaker 2: say that again, roughly one in five residents in Fairfax
- 24:19Speaker 2: County could potentially be subject to deportation or removal proceedings
- 24:24Speaker 2: under stricter immigration enforcement standards. We're talking about twenty percent
- 24:30Speaker 2: of the population in Virginia's largest county, right outside of Washington,
- 24:36Speaker 2: d C are individuals that shouldn't be in this country
- 24:40Speaker 2: in the first place. Now that staggering number has ignited
- 24:45Speaker 2: outrage among critics and current immigration policies. It's also triggered
- 24:50Speaker 2: new congressional scrutiny of sanctuary style policies in the region.
- 24:55Speaker 2: There was part of this that became very clear in
- 24:58Speaker 2: the hearing on Washington DA. We see where a Cato
- 25:02Speaker 2: Institute individual said this before Congress.
- 25:06Speaker 1: It's the first.
- 25:08Speaker 10: Step would be to give up on the mass deportation fantasy.
- 25:12Speaker 10: About one in five Fairfax residents is someone who could
- 25:15Speaker 10: be deported or who lives with them. It would destroy neighborhoods,
- 25:20Speaker 10: rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers, nurses, nannies,
- 25:28Speaker 10: and teachers.
- 25:29Speaker 2: This guy is mister Bayer. He's a random guy that
- 25:33Speaker 2: tells you that one in five Fairfax residents is someone
- 25:37Speaker 2: who could be deported or lives with them.
- 25:40Speaker 1: It is not normal.
- 25:41Speaker 2: The twenty percent of the largest county of Virginia could
- 25:44Speaker 2: be deported. What's even more shocking is how not normal
- 25:47Speaker 2: it is for the new argument of the left to be, well,
- 25:52Speaker 2: there's just too many illegal immigrants, so you cannot deport them.
- 25:58Speaker 2: The logic here is now in instead of lying to
- 26:01Speaker 2: you about how many illegal immigrants are in America, the
- 26:04Speaker 2: Democratic Party in the left are now saying, we'll tell
- 26:07Speaker 2: you exactly how many there are to prove a point
- 26:10Speaker 2: that there are so many illegal immigrants that are in
- 26:13Speaker 2: the United States of America that you need to get
- 26:16Speaker 2: rid of the fantasy that we are going to actually
- 26:20Speaker 2: deport all of them, and it would destroy communities if
- 26:24Speaker 2: you did it, so therefore you cannot do it. I
- 26:27Speaker 2: want to play this clip one more time, and now
- 26:30Speaker 2: that you understand the messaging here and what their motivation is,
- 26:35Speaker 2: listen to how the new argument of the left has
- 26:38Speaker 2: completely changed.
- 26:40Speaker 6: It's them.
- 26:41Speaker 10: The first step would be to give up on the
- 26:44Speaker 10: mass deportation fantasy. About one in five fairfact residents is
- 26:48Speaker 10: someone who could be deported or who.
- 26:50Speaker 6: Lives with them.
- 26:51Speaker 10: It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouse's parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employeys, nurses, nannies,
- 27:02Speaker 10: and teachers.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Let me be clear, Let me be clear, really all right,
- 27:07Speaker 2: Republicans on Capitol Hill, now is your opportunity to use
- 27:12Speaker 2: the Fairfax County as a case study in what they
- 27:15Speaker 2: describe as the consequences of failed immigration enforcement and sanctuary
- 27:20Speaker 2: government policies. Hearings have focused on accusations now that the
- 27:26Speaker 2: local officials have no or limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities,
- 27:32Speaker 2: including ICE, while legal immigrant numbers have surged nationwide, as
- 27:38Speaker 2: Democrats seem to be now saying, we want to count
- 27:40Speaker 2: all the illegal immigrants, not underplay the number, but actually
- 27:44Speaker 2: tell you an honest number. So the problem looks so
- 27:48Speaker 2: big that it's inhumane to try to stop it. Now,
- 27:52Speaker 2: behind the controversy is a much larger and an even
- 27:55Speaker 2: more explosive national issue. It is how immigration, both legal
- 28:01Speaker 2: and illegal, is reshaping political representation in the United States
- 28:05Speaker 2: of America. Now, that is the whole plan of the
- 28:07Speaker 2: Democratic Party, and right now, under the current Census Bureau policy,
- 28:13Speaker 2: every person living in the United States of America is
- 28:15Speaker 2: counting the census. That means that all citizens, all legal immigrants,
- 28:21Speaker 2: all green card holders, all refugees, all visa holders, all
- 28:26Speaker 2: asylum seekers, and this is the most important category for Democrats,
- 28:31Speaker 2: all illegal immigrants are counted. The census explicitly states that
- 28:37Speaker 2: congressional appointment is based on counting all persons residing in
- 28:42Speaker 2: the country, regardless of citizenship status. That matters because the
- 28:48Speaker 2: census determines far more than just population statistics. Every ten years,
- 28:54Speaker 2: census totals determine something that's extremely important, how many seats
- 28:59Speaker 2: each date receives in the House of Representatives. Those same
- 29:03Speaker 2: numbers also determine the Electoral College votes in the presidential elections,
- 29:08Speaker 2: and they influence a distribution of hundreds of billions of
- 29:11Speaker 2: federal dollars.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Now, just hit pause for a second and think about this.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Is it fair to say that in Virginia there's a
- 29:19Speaker 2: very good chance that there are too many representatives in
- 29:23Speaker 2: Washington representing people of Virginia based on the number of
- 29:27Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. I think the answer is based on the
- 29:30Speaker 2: evidence it's overwhelming. Moved to a place like California. California
- 29:35Speaker 2: has a massive number of individuals representing the state in Congress.
- 29:40Speaker 2: They have an incredible amount of power as a state.
- 29:43Speaker 2: They also have an incredible amount of power in picking
- 29:45Speaker 2: the president of the United States of America. California helps
- 29:49Speaker 2: Democrats get much closer to the finish line on election
- 29:52Speaker 2: night every single time we have a presidential election. And
- 29:57Speaker 2: the reason why there is so much power is based
- 30:01Speaker 2: on the fact that we're counting illegal immigrants. Now, more
- 30:05Speaker 2: people county means more political power, and that's exactly why
- 30:09Speaker 2: you're now hearing people like mister Bayer who are telling
- 30:12Speaker 2: you the truth on the illegal immigrant numbers because they
- 30:16Speaker 2: want that power. Organizations like the Center for Immigration Studies
- 30:20Speaker 2: have argued that immigration levels legal and illegal combined have
- 30:25Speaker 2: shifted congressional seats and electoral college votes towards high immigration
- 30:30Speaker 2: states for decades. Their analysis claim states with large non
- 30:36Speaker 2: citizen populations receive additional representation because non citizens are included
- 30:41Speaker 2: in the census counts even though they cannot vote in
- 30:45Speaker 2: federal elections. California, as I mentioned earlier, is the perfect
- 30:49Speaker 2: example for this debate. California gained enormous political influence because
- 30:54Speaker 2: of population growth that was fueled heavily by illegal immigrants.
- 30:58Speaker 2: The state is also now experiencing a major population exodus
- 31:03Speaker 2: as residents leave over the high taxes, the housing costs,
- 31:06Speaker 2: crime concerns, costs of living pressures. California actually lost a
- 31:11Speaker 2: congressional seat after the twenty twenty census for the first
- 31:14Speaker 2: time in state history. Yet analysts note that California may
- 31:20Speaker 2: have lost even more political representation if non citizens had
- 31:26Speaker 2: not been included in the census count and it brings
- 31:29Speaker 2: up an even bigger question. Is it time for the
- 31:33Speaker 2: American people, for the Republican Party, for the president United
- 31:37Speaker 2: States America to bring this debate front and center. When
- 31:42Speaker 2: you have one in five Fairfax residents is someone that
- 31:45Speaker 2: should be deported, you know you've got a massive problem.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Twenty percent of the largest county in Virginia not a
- 31:53Speaker 2: border state is a massive red flag for other states.
- 31:58Speaker 2: And the question now is not only how many illegals
- 32:01Speaker 2: are actually in this country, but how much are they
- 32:03Speaker 2: costing you as a taxpayer and how much are they
- 32:07Speaker 2: skewing the election towards Democratic.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Candidates because of the census.
