Add AG Pam Bondi to the Ever Growing List of 'Threatened Conservatives' · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Minnesota man has now been arrested after offering to pay
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: forty five thousand dollars for anyone that wanted to murder
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the US Attorney General Pam Bondy. The man in Saint Paul, Minnesota,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is now accused of posting a TikTok video offering to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: pay a bounty for the murder of the US Attorney
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: General Bondi. The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avoloes, allegedly
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: wanted Pam Bondy reward forty five thousand dollars dead or
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: alive than in parentheses it said preferably dead. An image
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of the alleged post appears to have a sniperscope dot
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on the photo of Bondy in the middle of her
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: forehead as well. The article says the suspect is also
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: accused of writing kauf cough when they don't serve us,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: then what? A federal investigation was launched once another TikTok
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: user flag the post. Officials arrest of the suspect in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: an apartment building on Thursday, and he now faces federal
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: charges in the case. The Fox Report also says, then
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Nevlus has a long criminal history that includes convictions for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: stalking and domestic violence. But don't worry, he's among us
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: because this is what liberals do. They lit criminals out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of jail. His TikTok account, investigators also noted also featured
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: anarchist symbols and links to anti government literature. His profile
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: also brandished a link to an anarchists FAQ book, according
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to court filings. Although Ty Cobb, the former White House
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Special Council and critic of President Donald Trump, said recently
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that Bondi is the most reprehensible person to hold that office.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: She has been working alongside officials to crack down on
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: crimeation and that's why Democrats want are dead. Body also
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: recently revealed, which made liberals lose their minds, that crime
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: stats are showing that those effects and efforts by the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: government have yielded significant results at the present direction. The
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: attorntional Bondi posted this last week on acts we are
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: making America Safe Again. In Washington, d c our law
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: enforcement partners have made three thousand, eight hundred thirty seven
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: arrests to date and seized three hundred and sixty one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: illegal guns in Memphis, for example, my hometown, two hundred
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and seventy three arrests have been made in just under
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a week, and seventy three illegal guns have been seized.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Bondy also gave a warning to Democrat leaders who have
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: threatened Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE officers who are enforcing
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: deportation laws. The quote coordinated federal push. She described it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is a response to the massive resistance from Democrats to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the enforced deportation of millions of illegal immigrants. Progressive Democrats
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: defend the migrants because they cannot agree to recognize the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: civic distinction between citizens and economic migrants. This resistance is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: backed by local business groups which use the migrants to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: provide cheap services such as food delivery to the upper
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: income customers, who are a critical part of the Democrats
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: voting block and donor base. So here we are in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a real standoff. Democrats are demanding that Pambondies stop enforcing
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the law and allowing for anarchy lawlessness to the hands
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants. And if she doesn't do what they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: are demanding, they're now posting online that she is wanted
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: dead with a bounty of forty five thousand dollars on
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: her head. But this it just goes back to exactly
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what democrats are realizing. There is a real, a very
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: real change in power because the Trump administration is cleaning
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: house and Ice is the ones that are doing the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: tough work. Every so often, something happens that reminds us
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: take our rights for granted. We must draw a line
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile have
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: been doing just that for more than twelve years. The
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: truth is there is only one provider that boldly stands
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the only
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet back up, in so much more,
• 5:08

  Speaker 1: minutes on your phone from your home or your office,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and you keep your same number you've got now keep
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: your same phone or upgrade to a new one. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you that stand up for
• 5:30

• 5:37

  Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And make the switch and make a difference with every
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: call you make. ICE is doing exactly what the law
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: says they're supposed to do. Up to a dozen regional
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: leaders may be reassigned to increase deportation. Is also what
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: we're now being told at this hour. Donald Trump not
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: backing down and the power shift that's taking place within
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the US Department of Homeland Security as President Donald Trump's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: administration is continuing, they say to focus on deporting illegals.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We now know that four senior DHS officials have told
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Fox News that changes will affect US Immigration and Customs
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: enforcement field offices in several cities, noting some senior leaders
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: will be replaced with Border patrol officials. This news comes
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: as leader's work to continue increasing deportation numbers. On one
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: side is Borders our Tom Homan, an ICE director to Alliance,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: who have advocated focusing on criminal aliens and those with
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: final deportation orders. On the other side are the Department
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: owned Security Secretary Chrissy Nome and Senior Advisor Corey Lewandowski
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: in Border Patrol Commander Greg Bavino, who have pushed for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a broader and more aggressive approach targeting anyone in the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: US illegally to boost deportation numbers. In September, Tom Holman
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: said nearly one point six million illegals had already self deported.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I want to say that again, Tom Homan said in September,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: then nearly one point six million illegals had already self deported.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He added, a lot of people aren't coming, which helped
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: secure the border, and that was a part of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: strategy from the beginning. If we show consequences. We show
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: them we're actually out there looking for them, many will leave.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: In a social media post on Monday, Fox NewsChain Bill
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Malusian reported that quote per four senior DHS and Trump
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: administration sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: country's underway, with up to twelve ICE Field Office chiefs
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: being removed and reassigned in an effort to increase deportation
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: numbers overall. He added this, I'm told the move is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: spearheaded by Corn Lewandowski and a handful of ICE chiefs
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that will likely be replaced by Border Patrol and CBP officials,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: some of whom will be handpicked by aggressive and controversial
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Border Patrol Commander Greg Bavino. I'm told some of the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE field
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: office directors in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Denver, El Paso,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: San Diego, Portland, New Orleans, and those are where the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: President is having a lot of problems with pushback from
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the radical left. Now you put all this together and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you add it to this report. The Washington Examiner is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: reporting that ICE top officials in Denver, La Philly, Phoenix,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: San Diego were quietly revealed of their duties last Friday.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Sources are telling the Washington Examiner it was directed from
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the top of the Trump administration and the DHS. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this is now where the Trump administration is. They want
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to remake ICE and border patrol more in your face,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: more of an aggressive style. We know that this administration
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: said they're not backing down. This is what the American
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: people voted for. And now what they've decided to do
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: is bring in border patrol to overhaul entire ICE operations
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: across San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Both
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are federal law enforcement agencies to deal with immigration, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in very different ways.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Border Patrol is on the border.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: ICE is in the interior mostly, but that it seems
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to be changing now. We also know that as of October,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the twentieth Department of Homeland Security is arrested nearly half
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a million illegals in the past nine months, and ICE
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: agents have continuing rounding up convicted killers, sex offenders, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: robbers across the United States. We'll take a quick break,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we'll come right back. There is another part, by the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: way of the story that is also very important. You
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have the president and those underneath them who are going
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: into overdrive to take out illegal immigrants and especially those
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that are criminals with it, have committed heinous crimes, and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: get them out of this country. There's also another strategy
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that's playing out before our very eyes by Democrats, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that's this. They want to demonize ICE agents to the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: point where they don't want to do their job, where
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they quit, where they disappear. That is what they're trying
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to accomplish. Center Dick Durbin has come out and this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is where the leaders of the Democratic Party, and he
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: is now comparing ICE agents to World War II Japanese
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: interment camps. There's only one parallel in history, is how
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: he described it. Dick Durbin making sure that he goes
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: out of his way to put the lives of ICE
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: agents at risk, saying this while speaking Monday at the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: US Capitol during a Senate Subcommittee on Crime Encounter Terrorism
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: hearing on Immigration Enforcement Now. During remarks delivered from the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Senate floor, Dick Durbin said this, there was only one
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: parallel in history that I can think of that has
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: occurred in my lifetime, and that of course, would be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the interment of one hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: during World War II. Durbin's comparison comes amid a long
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: record of engagement on immigration issues. Over the years, he
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: has defended expansive immigration measures, oppose restrictions on illegal aliens,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and frequently linked America's identity to immigration. In March of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Durbin blocked a Republican back bill that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: would have required ICE to automatically detain illegal aliens charged
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: with violent crimes, arguing the proposal would deprive immigrants of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: due process. The measure, that was introduced by Senator Jony Erst,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: sought to detain suspects penning trial to prevent the release
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: under lenient local policies. Earlier this year, Durbin also marked
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the twelfth year anniversary of the Obama era Deferred Action
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for Childhood Arrivals known as DACA program, by calling its
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: beneficiaries the future of our countries. So not your kids,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: not your grandkids, he says, the future of our country's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. He has repeatedly pushed for the passage of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Dream Act, which would provide permanent legal status and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: a pathicizenship for millions of illegal aliens. Durbin's emphasis, by
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm protecting foreign nationals has also drawn attention
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: throughout his career. In eighteen, for example, he even said
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to MPR that the United States must remain a quote
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: nation of immigrants, describing diversity as America's strength and rejecting,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: as he described to efforts to scale back even legal immigration.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: That stance reflected his decades long relationship on the issue,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: dating back to his original introduction of the Dream Act
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: alongside former Center Orrin Hatch. This is again part of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the Democrats playbook, but Durbin has been now ratching up
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the rhetoric for Americans to hate ice agents, something he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: never done before. In fact, you can even look back
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: at Dick Durbin's immigration activism and times he's sparked controversy.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: In twenty thirteen, for example, he spoke at Chicago's May
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Day March, which featured open socialists and anarchists, where he
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: urged the crowd to fight for immigration reform. When questioned
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: about his participation, Durbin explained his attendance on free speech grounds,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: saying you believed in the Constitution's protection of expression for
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: all groups. Durbin has also worked with Chuck Grassley on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the H one B visa reforms. In September of this year,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the parisonal letter to major technology CEOs questioning why companies
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: were laying off American workers while continuing to hire foreign
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: employees under the visa program. The letters cited concerns about
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: wage's disparities and the impact on American workers. Now, Durbin
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: has also joined Republican colleagues proposed reforms to the lesser
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: known L dash one visa program, which allows multi national
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: corporations to transfer foreign employees to the United States. The
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: bipartisan proposal would impose a new wage standards and time
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: limits on both L one's and H one B visa
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: holders to prevent abuse to the program by firms replacing
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: American professionals with cheaper foreign labor.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Now, his broader.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Legislative record underscores his consistent role as one of its
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: most activist voices on immigration, from advocating amnesty negotiations with
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Senator Tom Tillis following migrant death to the Southern border
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two to denouncing the term chain migration
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: as offensive and even describing it in a way that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: would make you think it's racist, despite having used it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: himself in a White House meeting just days earlier. Durbin
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: has maintained his long standing argument that immigration defines the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: American character, our national character, and they, he says, they,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: not us, are the future of this country. So let
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: us look at how radical the Democratic Party has become.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Dick Durbin is now saying, I believe that ICE agents
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: are comparable to World War two Japanese internment camps. He says,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: there's only one parallel in history. Now, why would Dick
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Durbin doing this knowing that ICE agents have been shot at,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: have been targeted, their families have been targeted, their places
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of business have been targeted, and people have been killed
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in those attacks. That is the question that everyone should
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: be asking. Why is Durbin doing this?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Right now? I'll tell you why.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's doing it because he believes that this
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: is the only way for the Democratic Party to survive.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: We also know that while all of these shenanigans are
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: happening on Capitol Hill, that something else has happened. That's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: pretty incredible. In Virginia, ICE has arrested three times to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: poort it illegal alien use of assaulting a police officer.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: This is what America voted for. ICE agents arrested a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: three time deport illegal alien this week after he was
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: accused of violently assaulting a police officer, among other violent crimes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Carlos Ramirez Guzman, an illegal alien from El Salvador, arrested
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: by agents in Arlington, Virginia, right outside of Washington, d C.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: He has a twenty one year Say that again, he
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: has a twenty one year criminal record, not an El Salvador,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: but in the United States of America. His criminal record
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: includes charges for aggravate assault with a deadly weapon on
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a law enforcement officer, domestic battery, exhibition of a dangerous weapon,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: resisting arrest, obstructing and or opposing a law enforcement officer,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: as well as disorderly conduct and illegally re entering the US,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: which is also a felony, even though Democrats believe that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it's not. Not only has this man been removed from
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: our country on three previous occasions, but he also has
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a violent criminal history of assault with a deadly weapon
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: on a law enforcement officer. And this is just part
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of what the White House said in a statement. They
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: also talked about the domestic battery resisting arrests, and they said,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: under President Trump and Secretary Nome, this criminal legal aliens
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: crime spree has come to an end.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Good riddance. You're not welcome in this country. Now.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: You may ask yourself this, when was he arrested and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: when was he deported? Well, Guzman had been deported on
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: three separate occasions, back in two thousand and six then
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: again in twenty and fourteen, then again in two thy
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and sixteen. His last re entry, likely via the US
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Mexico border, was an unknown date at an unknown time,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: making him one of millions of unknown guidaways living in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the US undetected by federal immigration officials. So here we are.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You are up to date on what's happening. And there
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: are two visions, two views of what should happen in
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: this country. Democrats are doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: idea that, no matter what, illegal immigrants are, the future
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of this country, not you, an American citizen. And we
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: also know they're willing to advocate, protect, and defend the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant criminals, and they're not backing down from their
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: rhetoric which is causing ICE agents to be attacked in
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: this country by American citizens. And that's the difference between
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: law and lawlessness. Thank goodness, President Trump is the guy
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: who's in charge of the law and order. Now, all right,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I want to get to some other breaking news. It's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: very important. It deals with what happened in Israel. If
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you remember, there was a peace agreement, and very quickly
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that peace agreement has ended because of the terrorists in Hamas.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: We now know that Nat Nyahu has decided to order
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the army to quote carry out powerful strikes in Gaza.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: The Israeli Prime Minister saying that he's ordered the army
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to immediately carry out powerful strikes in Gaza, in a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: new test for the US broker ceasefire Natyah, who made
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the announcement shortly after Israel said that Hamas had opened
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: fire on Israeli forces in southern Gaza. The tensions were
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: already high after Hamas returned a set of remains that
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Israel said belonged to a body of an Israeli hostage
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that had been recovered earlier in the war. Line about
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the remains, nat Nah, who called the return quote a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: clear violation of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Hamas to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: return all Israeli hostage remains as soon as possible, as
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: nat Yah, who initially waited a possible response, Israel's media
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: said options could include halting the entry of humanitarian aid
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to Gaza, expanding Israeli control of Gaza, or carrying out
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: airstrikes targeting Hamas leaders. And a sign of the fragility
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of the ceasefire, Israeli troops were shot at at the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: southern city of rafon Tuesday, and they returned fire. According
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to Israeli military officials, there are still thirteen bodies of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: hostages in Gaza. Hamas said Tuesday it has recovered the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: body of a hostage that it plans to hand over
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: this evening, they claim. A journalist also witnessed would appear
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to be a white body bag being carried out from
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a tunnel by several men, including some mass terrace and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: then transported into an ambulance. It was not immediately clear
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: what was in the bag. The slow return of hostages
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: bodies is posing a challenge to implementing the next stages
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of the ceasefire, which will address even naughtier issues such
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: as the disarmament of Hamas, the deployment of an international
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: security force in Gaza and deciding who will govern that
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: territory now. Hamas has said it is struggling to locate
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the bodies of the Israeli hostages amid the vast destruction
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: they claim of Gaza, while Israel has accused the terrorist
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: group of purposely delaying their return. Over the weekend, Egypt
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: also deployed a team of experts and heavy equipment to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: help search for the bodies of the remaining hostages. The
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: work continued Tuesday. This the second time since the ceasefire
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: began on October tenth that remains turned over by Hamas
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: have been problematic. Israel said that one of the bodies
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Hamas released in the first week of the ceasefire actually
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: belonged to an unidentified Palestinian, not to a Jewish hostage.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: During a previous ceasefire in February of twenty twenty five,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Hamasa had handed over the bodies of three hostages, but
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: testing showed that one of the bodies returned was identified
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: as a Palestinian woman. Yes, that is just how evil
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the terrorists actually are, and it make matters worse. It
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: looks like that the terrorists are actually doing much of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: this on purpose, some sort of mental warfare. I'll give
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you a perfect example of that. One of the people
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that was kidnapped from the Nova Music festival in October
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the seventh of twenty twenty three, in that hamas Let
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: attack on Israel that started this entire war. When we
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: now know that they have returned the remains of one
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: body three different times, that's right. The young man and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: his family have now said that not only was he
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: killed in captivity and his body was retrieved by Israeli
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: troops in November of twenty twenty three, but in March
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: of twenty four, his family received additional remains for burial.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: The family said that now more remains have been received
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: in Israel. The family said in a statement this morning
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that this is the third time we have been forced
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to open our son's grave and rebury our sun.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Now you may remember.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: That in exchange for the fifteen dead hostages returned from
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Gaza since the ceasefire began, Israel has handed back to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Gaza one hundred and ninety five Palasinian bodies the last
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: twenty living hostages returned to Israel at the start of
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the ceasefire. In exchange, Israel freed roughly two thousand Palestinian prisoners.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli authorities said they had killed three
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Palisinian terriors early during an operation in the northern part
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of the occupied West Bank. The latest action in Israel
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: stepped up military activity in the territory since the October
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: seventh a Maas attacks Israeli police. He said the three
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: men were shot as they came out of a cave
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: near Jennin, a town in the northern West Bank known.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: As a terrast stronghold.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: The Israeli military said in a statement that the terrorists
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: took part in the tar activity in Genin, but gave
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: no further details. Two terrists were shot and killed in
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the initial volley of gunfire. The third, who was wounded,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: was killed shortly after, according to Israeli military. An earlier
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: statement said the Israeli military carried down airstrike shortly afterwards
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: destroy the cave. The army confirmed an airstrike in the area,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: but gave no further details as well. Hamas of course
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: condemning the strike and later identified two of the three
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: men as terras with Hamas's Casalam brigades. The third man
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: was referred to as a comrade. No additional information has
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: been given by the terrorists organization. So this is another
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: example of how do you live next to terraces that
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: are willing to torture your family, giving you partial remains
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: three different times, forcing you to open up the grave
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and rebury your son three different times. Israel says its operations,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, are continuing to crack down on terrace
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in the West Bank. Palestinians and human rights groups say
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: scores of uninvolved civilians have also been among the dead,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: while tens of thousands of people have been displaced from
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: their homes. We also know that over sixty eight thousand
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Palacinians they claim have died in the two year in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the Gaza War, according to Gaza's health ministry, if you
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: actually believe those numbers. The military also maintains detailed casuary
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: records that are seen as generally reliable to you and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: agencies and independent experts.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: They claim.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Israel is disputing those numbers, saying that they are heavily
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: changed from reality in Gaza. So again, this is where
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: we are, and the President of the United States of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: America has made it clear that Israel has the right
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to continue to defend itself and finally, some breaking.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: News for you.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: A federal judge has indefinitely blocked Trump's shut down. Layoffs
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: were being told a federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a activist judge indefinitely barred the Trump administration from firing
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: federal employees during the government's shutdown, saying that labor unions
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: were likely to prevail on their claims that the cuts
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: were in arbitrary and politically motivated quote unquote. The radical
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: US District judge Susan Ilston, a Clinton appointee, granted the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: preliminary injunction that bars the firings while a lawsuit challenging
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: them plays out. She had issued a temporary restraining order
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: against the job cuts that were set to expire on Wednesday.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The judges said she believes the evidence will ultimately show
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that the mass firings were not only illegal, but she
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: claims an excess of authority. Federal agencies are enjoined from
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: issuing layoff notices or acting on notses issued since the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: government's shut down October one. The judge said that her
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: order does not apply to notice is sent before. She
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: says the shutdown. The Republican administration, by the way, has
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: done what they said they were going to do, slash
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: jobs they've done in education, health, and other areas it
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: says are favored by Democrats. The administration has also said
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: it would not tap roughly five billion in contingency funds
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, referred
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to as SNAP, flowing into November. The American Federation of
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Government Employees and other labor unions have sued by the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: way to stop the reductions in forced layoffs, saying the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: firings were an abuse of power designed solely to punish
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: workers and then to pressure Congress to get a deal done.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Attorneys for the government said the district court does not
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: have the authority to hear personnel challenges and that Trump
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: has brought authority to reduce the federal workforce as he
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: pledged to do during the campaign, saying this the president
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: was elected on this specific platform. That is what the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: assistant US attorney said, saying the American people selected someone
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: known above all else for his eloquence in communicating to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: employees that you're fired. This is what they voted for.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So there is a standoff.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Democrats continue to go to court to try to harass
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America. That seems
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to be the main goal, and the President of the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: United States of America seems to be making it clear
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: he's not backing down, and there's a very good chance
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: that this will be overturned by an upper court very
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: very quickly. Don't forget share this podcast please with your
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: family and your friends wherever they are, and I will
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow.
