• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is really
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: sticking it to the government employees that decided, now, screw it,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we'll just let America be unsafe from the skies. I'm
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: not going to work, even though they knew when the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: government reopened they were gonna get back pay. There's a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: lot of people in the government decided, I'm gonna go
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on vacation, I'm not gonna show up for work, even
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: though they knew they were gonna get back pay. So
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: they decided at the White House they were going to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: reward good behavior by handing out And this is, by
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the way, amazing.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I love when people win when they do the right thing.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Because people that showed up during the shutdown did not
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: know this was going to happen, right, It wasn't even
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a rumor.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It wasn't talked about, it wasn't discussed.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: They are now gonna they now have I should say,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: past Tense handed out ten thousand dollars bonus checks to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: TSA agents for exemplary service during the shutdown. Now look again,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: every TSA agent knew they were going to get the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: back pay. Now some of them were like, I'm going
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to do uber lyft, and I understand that if you've
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: got no savings and you've got to go do something else,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. But I do love the fact
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that there were people that showed up, took their job
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: seriously and wanted to make sure that Americans could still
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: travel like they took pride in their country. And that's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: exactly why the Home in Security Secretary Christy Nome handed
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: out these ten thousand dollars bonus checks to agents who
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: were there and working without pay during the government shutdown.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Now there are liberals now that are actually angry over this,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and they're mad.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Christinome in her own words as she spoke to reporters
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in front of her at a press conference at Houston's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: George Bush International Airport and turned to present about a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: dozen of the TSA agents with their ten thousand dollars
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: bonus checks. This is like again, rewarding good behavior a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: boss move as a taxpayer.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I love this because.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I fly a lot of you did, and we should
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: reward good workers and we shouldn't reward workers that just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: don't show up when things get tough. And by the way,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I hate to be honest like to say it this way,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but like this is just reality. If you're a government worker,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you know at some point you're not going to get
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: paid to during a government shut down. They they happen
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: too often now to for anyone to think that like
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this isn't gonna happen.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And when you get hired, you should know this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So there is a little bit of like preparedness that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: should be involved here, not like, oh my gosh, I'm shocked,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to miss a paycheck. Like you're a government employee,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you know the government gets shut down a lot. You
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: know that Democrats are holding you hostage. You know this
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is going to be a deal, and then to still
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: show up, God bless you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Take a listen, Christy Nome in her own words.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: So today, though we have many other TSA officers here
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: that I'm going to be handing bonus checks to, every
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: single one of these individuals served with exemplary service, which
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: means they were an example of not only taking seriously
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the security concerns and measures that TSA has to every
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: single day in the Department of Homeland Security, but also
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: they went above and beyond. They helped individuals, They served
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: extra shifts, They helped with transportation of people getting back
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and forth to work, other challenges that families may have.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: They were all examples of what we need and we
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: will be continuing to not only recognize employees across the country,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: but we will be looking at every single TSA official
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that helped serve during this government shutdown and do what
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: we can to recognize that and help them financially with
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: a bonus check to get them and their family back
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: on their feet. So with that, Rico, I want to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: present to you a check and say thank you from
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the American people. Appreciate it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Ashley, thank you, yes, And is.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Leo here all right?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I'm also incredibly great for everyone in this community, this airport,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the private companies that stepped up and helped support these
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: families during the government shutdown when their paycheck stopped. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I just can't say enough about the partnerships that we've
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: been able to build in light of this tragic situation.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: When the Democrats shut down the government, that we still
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: saw the best of America. We saw people come together
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and support each other, take care of each other, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: go above and beyond to make sure that the mission
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of the Department of Homeland Security was fulfilled that it
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: was to keep the American people safe with honor and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: with integrity, and that we can continue to do that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: One of the things that came out of this that was,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: by the way, one of the lies is the left
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: started rumor that only the people that were with Christino
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: were going to get these checks and that they were
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just doing this as a photo op.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Guess what, that's also a lie.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The envelopes containing their ten thousand dollars bonus checks are
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: going too many more. The Truman Manifestration has said they
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: will be going to quote several thousand other agents who
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: received high performance marks from their supervisors. The press conference
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: being held has that record breaking forty three day government
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: shutdown ended, marking the beginning of TSA agents and other
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: government employees being paid again and again.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: They got back pay.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Now, why all this happened is because of President Donald Trump.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He's the one that came out and recommended not like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a two thousand dollars bonus or a three thousand or
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: five thousand. No, he said, uh huh, I want a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars bonus. Freyer traffic controllers who worked during
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the shutdown as well, when asked by Fox NEWSS of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: our ingram about where the money would come from, Trump's answered,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'll get it from someplace.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Which also tells you just how bloated our federal government
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is and why DOGE and other groups are doing everything
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they can to start protecting your tax dollars. Even more, quote,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I always get the money from someplace, regardless, it doesn't matter.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I do a lot of bonuses for people because it's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: really something that is like the American way, and you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: think about it, the president said. Now, the checks given
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to TSA agents on Thursday were from carryover funds from
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the fiscal year twenty twenty five. An internal memo from
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security obtained by MSNBC stated, so,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: now we have a president that's saying, you're a great American.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You work hard, you show up, you're a team player.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Guess what we're going to reward you if you didn't
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: get great remarks from your supervisor because you're one of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: those that called in sick or just decided I'm going
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to take a free paycheck backdated because everyone got paid
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: even if they didn't show up for work, Well, good
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for you. You got paid, right, you got paid now. Also,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: one of the things that's interesting about this is that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Democrats are now talking about another issue, and that is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: shutting the government down again. I want to just make
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: sure you understand how close we are to that happening again.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, Democrats Representative Bell said this on TV. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: voted against reopening the government because snap recipients were happy
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with me doing so to make a point still holding
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Americans hostage. It is insane listen to this Democrat on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: CNN saying I didn't want the government to open.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Democrats actually aren't happy about how the shutdown ended, especially
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: House Democrats. You have someone like a congresswoman at Casio
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Cortez who thinks that they gained nothing from the deal.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: She's used words like cowardice, and now you have to
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: figure out what to do after the Senate folded. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: just want to play for you what she said.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: You have the refusal and the outright cruelty among House
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Republicans and the White House who went to court to
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: try to sue for their ability to deny people's access
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: to food. This is the reality that we're in right now,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: and we need to act like it, and we cannot
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: enable this kind of cruelty with our cowardice?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Were the Senate Democrats who voted to end this shutdown cowards?
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not going to get into the name calling.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about policy and what matters to the American people.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: I'm not happy with this, with this resolution, I voted no,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: matter of fact. I voted hell no to be perfectly
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: if they had that option. And when we were.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Voting, I know, but six and fifty thousand Missourians were
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: losing stat benefits. Would they be happy that you were
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: sticking it out to make a point?
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, And that's why I voted no. And now two
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: hundred and sixty thousand Missourians could lose their healthcare or
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: see their healthcare called skyrocket. But I'll say this quickly though.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: The issue, though, is that I'm not going to spend
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: my time focusing on eight individuals when we see a
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: Republicans who have the House, Senate and the Presidency cutting
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: head healthcare, cutting Medicaid, and I'm going to train my
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: sites on them who are responsible for the Republicans, who
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: are responsible for a Republican health care crisis.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I think that I'm looking at a Quinnipiac pole showing
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: that forty five percent of voters blame Republicans. But here's
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: the thing, thirty nine percent blame Democrats for the shutdown.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: So are you missing how much the public is disappointed
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: with Democrats as well?
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, I think that. I think folks are disappointed in
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: government period, full stop. I think that we, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: we need to do a better job. I ran because
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: of that, and so I've been here now in office
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: ten months and I'm seeing how DC works and I'm
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: seeing the dysfunction. And what I'm saying is we need
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: to clean up this corruption. We need to start working
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: for the American people, and we need to start putting
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: the interests of regular working class folks first. And we
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: haven't seen that. And it's time that we got to
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: that business. Augus.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So you hear this congressman here and he's like, all right,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So I just want to be clear, like I actually
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to hurt the American people more. I wanted to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: keep the government shut down. And I was happy because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I need to make a point. These people are totally insane.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're on food stamps in Missouri,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just know that Representative Wesley Bell wanted you to starve
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: your kids just a little bit longer to quote make
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a point. Every so often, something happens that reminds us
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: take our rights for granted. We must draw a line
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile have
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: been doing just that for more than twelve years. The
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: truth is, there is only one provider that boldly stands
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is worth
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the only
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet back up, in so much more,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and switching has never been easier. You can activate in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: minutes on your phone from your home or your office,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and you keep your same number. You've got now keep
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: your same phone or upgrade to a new one. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you that stand up for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: unborn children, and are wounded warriors and those that have
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: fought for a country and wear a badge. So take
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a stand today and make a difference with every call

  Speaker 1: you make. Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine

  Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And make the switch and make a difference with every
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: call you make. There has been a lot of conversation
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: about the Epstein files. Many Democrats are now obsessed over
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files and trying to use anything where Donald
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Trump's name was used to connect him to some sort
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of horrific behavior without any evidence to back it up. Well,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: while they're playing checkers, Donald Trump is now playing chess.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: A pretty brilliant move by President Donald Trump. On Friday,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he has now directed the Justice Department to investigate the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: disgrace late financier Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to several
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: high profile Democrats, as well as certain banks, the President,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: writing this now that the Democrats are using the Epstein
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: disastrous government shutdown and all of their other failures. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: will be asking the Attorney General Pambondi and the Department
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Larry Summers, Reied Hoffman, JP, Morgan Chase, and many other
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: people and institutions to determine what was going on with
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: them and him. Trump writing this on true Social this
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is another Russia Russia, Russia scam, with all arrows pointing
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to the Democrats. He added, records show that these men
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and many others spent large portions of their life with
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Epstein and on his island.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned now.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: In an earlier post on Friday, Trump said that Epstein
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: was a demoic and therefore is the Democrats problem, not
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the Republican's problem.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He also accused the.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Democrats of doing everything in their withering power to push
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Epstein hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing more than
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand pages of documents, Trump said lawmakers should not
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: waste time looking into him and instead should focus on
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. He later named in the post, announcing the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: pro Democrats, of course, are trying to use this to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: hurt the president. What's interesting is, if you go back
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and look at the history of this, Democrats never gave
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a damn about the victims. In fact, it's the point
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that I brought up on Fox News Channel to the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Democrat's face, saying, where were you, guys when you had
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the power to do something about this. Take a listen
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to what I had to say on Abby Phillips show
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on CNN.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You guys gave us.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Much thought and much obsession over this when Joe.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Biden was president. I wish you were asking for this
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: much transparency when.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't about to attacking the president of the United
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: States of America and I scored political points. I wish
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you guys cared about the victims as much as you
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: care about trying to attack Donald Trump. When CNN's own
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: reporting says, and I quote the woman who is the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: survivor literally accused Democrats, not Republicans, of hiding her name
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: because she had not alleged Trump, Well, you're talking about
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: anything wrong.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: You're talking about Virginia, correct, who we just talked about,
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: And my point is she died by it. Just to
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: be clear, she but.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That she accused Democrats when she was alive, her words,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of hiding her name because she had not alleged Trump
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to have done anything wrong. That is how sick and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: partisan this has become.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: You guys didn't care about the victims. You didn't care
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: about anything else.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And now you're saying, well, maybe Donald Trump knew of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a crime and maybe didn't report it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: That's just straight up slander and libel.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: You're telling I have to finish the crime.
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: Turn that one thing up, because I think this is important.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: I don't want this most information to be out there.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: When Virginia Jeffrey said that Trump had not done anything wrong,
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: she was not accusing the Republicans accused Democrats of withholding
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: her name for that reason. She just separately said that
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: that she did not see Trump do anything untoward.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: That's that's that's the point.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And so I go back to what he made because.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: People to think that that it was that she's responding
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: to Democrats, which she was not.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: But go ahead, here's the thing. First of all, Joe
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: Biden was not on the plane. He was not there.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: You go jump to another because I was not on
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: the plane, was not there. Everybody said, well, Joe Biden
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: didn't do whatever. The Democrats were never saying, don't release.
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: The Republicans now are saying don't release.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's not true. I said release, stay consistent.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Ironically, the reason this is such an issue now is
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: because Republicans campaigned on it and made it Agasa Franklin,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Shame on the Biden DOJ for not having been more proactive,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and thank you to the Republicans. The man is fear,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: all the bloggers, fear the Republican right wing who spent
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: the campaign making this into a big issue.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And I'd say, now, as long as you protect the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: victim's release. But what you notice Democrats, and that's why
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I went back in history, they didn't care about this
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: at all. The only thing they want to do now
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is hurt President Donald Trump. They want to do anything
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they can to try to imply that he did something terrible,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that he did something that is like awful.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: He didn't do anything wrong. That is the biggest difference here.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And so now with the President saying okay, DOJ you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: guys want to go there, you want to play this game, fine,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: we will investigate you. Now let's go through the names
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of people. You notice he said Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: has never been investigated for going to Epstein Island, flying
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: on his plane, or any of the connections there, which,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, also brings us to another story that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: involves the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation, where money was flowing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in when Hillary Clinton was a Secretary of State and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: running for president, is now the center of more attention. Now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there's a part of this story that you may not
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: actually even know about, and that is the IRS actually
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: opened a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty nineteen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: But guess what.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, a Democrat was in charge of the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: White House, the FBI, and all of law enforcement. So
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: what happened? The investigation was abruptly stopped. Here's more of
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the background on that story.
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: And a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: nineteen but then suddenly stopped. That's according to new memo
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: detailing how agents suddenly cut off contact with whistleblowers after
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: months of cooperation. The National Newsdesk Jeff Harris joining us
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: the federal government as we know, has long been concerned
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: about the Clinton Foundation, but these memos they only add
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: to that worry. What are you learning tonight?
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: So the memos detail how IRS agents abruptly cut off
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: contact with two whistleblowers, John moynihan and Larry Doyle. They
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: had been working with for several weeks now, several meetings
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: even taking place with them between January and April of
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: twenty nineteen, before then abruptly getting cut. Before losing contact, Moynihan,
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: a retired DEA financial crimes analyst, in Doyle, a corporate
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: tax compliance officer, had spent years researching the Clinton Foundation,
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: even testifying before Congress.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: The investigation clearly demonstrates that the Foundation was not a
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: charitable organization per se, but in point of fact, was
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: a closely held family partnership.
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: Just The News, reviewing internal IRS emails and memos, which
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: show an IRS office in New Jersey, initially took serious
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: interest in the allegations, meeting with the two in late
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: twenty nineteen. One memo, reading in part quote, they found
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: numerous problems with the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Foundation
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: was operating as a foreign agent. But weeks later the
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: agent's reversed course, saying, quote, we can't talk about the CF.
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: Others looking into the foundation include author Peter Schweizer, who
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: spoke with the National News Desk Thursday morning about his
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: own investigation.
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: The Nigeria Office had phone tapped interviews with Nigerian officials
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: saying that they had donated at the Clinton Foundation and
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: they were getting favors in.
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: Returns, but the Clinton Foundation has long denied any wrongdoing.
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: Hillary Clinton even pushing back when asked about possible pay
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: for play during her twenty sixteen presidential campaign.
• 20:52
  Speaker 13: At the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent ninety percent of
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: all the money that is donated on behalf of programs
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: of people around the world and in our own country.
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: Now, just the News reports both moynihan and Doyle are
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: currently pursuing two whistleblower cases involving the Clinton Foundation. One
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: is tentatively scheduled for trial beginning December.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: First, here's what's interesting about this background of it stopping
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this investigation twenty nineteen. Now the Trump administration has reopened
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it and making it clear they're going to look into
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a why it was stopped and what crimes could have
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: been committed. Again, the IRS opened the criminal probe and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: they were shut down by the Biden administration. This is
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: truly shocking. But now we're going to get some answers.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: We're being told moving forward, I want to move to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: another story that's really important and it deals with corruption.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It is a story that you've probably not heard a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: single word about this why because it is to protect
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the leader of the day Democratic Party. There is a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: front runner for the man or woman who will be
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the nominee for the Democratic Party for president, and right
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: now that is the California Governor Gavin Newsom. Well, there's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a story that if this was connected to someone like
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the world would be freaking out. The media
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: would be covering at twenty four to seven and they
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: would say, where there's smoke, there's fire. Well, let me
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: tell you the story of the former Gavin Newsom chief
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of staff. Now the chief of staff in your administration.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: There's literally no one hire that has more influence than
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the chief of staff. The chief of staff has been
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: arrested in charge is part of a political corruption investigation.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: California Governor knew Some's former chief of staff was arrested
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: in charge with having conspired to commit bank and wirefraud,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: among other things, as part of a political corruption investigation.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: In a press release from the United States Office of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the Eastern District of California, it was revealed that a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: federal grand jury charged Dana Williamson, fifty three with conspiracy
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to commit bank and wire fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruct justice, subscribing
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to false tax returns, and making false statements.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: This is a crucial step in an ongoing political corruption
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: investigation that began more than three years ago, is what
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the US Attorney at grants in a statement. As it
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: always has the US Attorney's Office will continue to work
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to protect the people
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of California from political corruption. Now part of the press release,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the political consultant Dana Williamson, fifty three of Carmichael, California,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: was charged by the federal grand jury with conspiracy to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: commit bank and fraud, bank fraud, wire conspiracy to fraud
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the United States and obstruct justice, and then subscribing to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: his false tax returns making false statements. The twenty three
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: count indictment was unfiled following Williamson's arrest in the morning.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Court documents reportedly show that between February of twenty twenty
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: two and September of last year, twenty twenty four, the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: chief of staff for the Governor Gavin Newsom, conspired with
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: others to divert approximately two hundred and twenty five thousand
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: in funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: person use. According to the press release, Williamson and other
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: people also reportedly funneled the money through various business entities
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and disguised it as a pay for what was in
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: reality a no show job. This again, according to the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: press release, Williamson also allegedly conspired with a business associates
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to create false backdated contracts after receiving a civil subpoena
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty regarding paycheck protection program known
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: as PPP loans. This also coming from the press release,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and then the FBI said this quote, Today's charges are
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the result of a three year, relentless investigative work in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: partnership with IRS Criminal Investigation and the US Attorney's Office.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: This coming from the FBI Sacramento Field Office. They said, quote,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the FBI will remain vigilant in its efforts to uncover fraud, corruption,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and ensuring our government systems are held to the highest standard.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: In a statement to Fox News, a spokesman for the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: California governor clarified that Williamson, who was Newsome's chief of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: staff literally in un till late last year, was no
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: longer serving under newsomb administration. Miss Williamson no longer serves
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in the administration, the spokesman told the outlet, While we
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: are still learning details about the allegations, the governor expects
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: all public servants to uphold the highest standard of integrity. Now,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this just goes back to corruption one oh one. We
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: see a lot of corruption the Democratic Party. This time
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: it's Gavin Newsom's longtime chief of staff. And notice how
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to this show right now, this is
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: probably the very first time that you've heard about this story.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: If this was connected to any Republican governor, especially in
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a swing state, the media would cover this twenty four
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to seven, wall to wall. So why now be silent. Well,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: they've got to protect Newsom. He's their guy. They understand
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: that he has the best chance of winning the nomination,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and so there's many around him that I'm sure are saying, hey,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: we'll just look the other way. But this goes back
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to the core of the Democratic Party. Right now, the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: rules really never seem to apply to them. You can look,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: for example, on college campuses at UC Berkeley and the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: radicals that went after turning point conservative kids, all caught
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: on camera. You can move from there to what we're
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: witnessing all across the country and what we've seen with
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: anti semitism and Democrats taking over college campuses, with radical activists,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: kids who are now turning into anarchists. And this really
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: all goes back to the issue of following the money,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: whether it was Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you go on and on with Democrats who are now
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: going after college campuses and conservative organizations. What Democrats are
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: clearly trying to do right now is make you feel unsafe.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: If you saw the videos coming out of UC Berkeley,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I can tell you if you were there as a conservative,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you would not have felt safe. And that's exactly what
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: democrats want by design. They want you to be quiet,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: they want you to be silent. They don't want you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to stand up for what you actually believe in, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: so that is what this is all about. Finally, let
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: me say one other thing. Democrats also are eating their
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: own right now, and Representative Mikey Cheryl, a Democrat from
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: New Jersey and the New Jersey governor elect, had this
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to say about the Democratic Party right now and the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: government shut down.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Of the Garden State.
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: Congratulations on your promotion, Congresswoman. We should note, along with
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: other notable Democrats, you won last week after campaigning to
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: a large degree on the issue of affordability. Right now,
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: Democrats are voting on a bill that does not extend
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: Obamacare subsidies, so healthcare costs, insurance costs are going to
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: go up significantly for millions of Americans on the Obamacare subsidies,
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: on the Obamacare exchanges. How do you square what Democrats
• 29:20
  Speaker 14: like yourself ran on what seems to be an important
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: issue for Republicans to wake up and pay attention to
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: if they want to keep their jobs next year, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: what's playing out on the floor of the House right now, Well.
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: I think you know I'm going to continue the fight.
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: To me, this is unacceptable that people were pretty clear
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: when they spoke in a Jersey that they wanted somebody
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: to fight for them and so I'm going to keep
• 29:43
  Speaker 15: fighting for affordability, to drive down cost, and will keep
• 29:46
  Speaker 15: fighting against all of the attacks coming from Washington. And
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: then you know, we are going to address the key
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: ways in which Trenton is not working for them either.
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: But this is a travesty right now to continue to
• 29:58
  Speaker 15: raise prices on people. With this bill, we're going to
• 30:01
  Speaker 15: see prices in the affordable care market go up by
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: almost one hundred and seventy five percent. It's just harming
• 30:07
  Speaker 15: families across the nation and certainly in New Jersey.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You listen to what she had to say there, and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: there's one big takeaway. She is in the party that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: created the Affordable Care Act, which is no longer affordable.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: In fact, many would argue it never was. It was
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: all smoking mirrors. And now your tax dollars, by the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: billions are going to one place, the insurance companies that
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: are making record profits right now. And then there's another
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: president who's saying, I don't want your mind to go there.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: My name is Donald Trump, and I wanted to go
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: directly to you, and that's where the fight is going.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Will the government be in charge of every aspect of
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: your life? That's what democrats are advocating for or will
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump do what he says is right. Give you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: your money and your own options to do what's best
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: for you, your healthcare, and your families.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That's what really this is all about.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to share this podcast, by the way, with
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: your family and your friends on social media wherever you
