Netanyahu Wants a 9/11-Style Probe plus DHS Offers $3,000 for Self-Deportation · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Benjamint Yahoo has come out with a very interesting and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: blunt statement of what he's planning to do moving forward
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the investigation of the October seventh
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: terrorist attacks.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: He says that he has a plan.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: He wants to investigate the October seventh, twenty twenty three
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: attacks the same way the US investigated nine to eleven.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Along with the unfolding political response and the controversy. Net
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Yahoo does have many that are frustrated that the country
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: did not keep them safe from those attack, that the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: intelligence clearly broke down in some capacity, and now there
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: are people asking questions, Okay, when are we going to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get real answers?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Net Yahoo is explaining that pushing for the government controlled inquiry,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: he compared it not only to the US's bipartisan commission
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: used to study the September eleventh two has a one
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: attacking the model as a way for broad questioning and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: examinations of failures, also admitting that there were obviously clear failures.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He has repeatedly rejected a formal state commission of inquiry,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: arguing that such a panel, often appointed by the Supreme Court,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be trusted by a significant portion.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Of the public.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Instead, his government is advancing a bill to establish a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: committee whose mandate and members are influenced by the governing coalition,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: with three from the coalition and three from the opposition,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: though opposition parties have said they will not quote unquote participate.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Nettna Who insists that the inquiry will be balanced and broad,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: claiming all relevant political, military, and security levels will be
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: examined now. The nine to eleven Commission in the United
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: States was a by Parson federal commission established by Congress
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: after the September eleventh terror attacks to investigate the intelligence
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and policy failures leading to the attacks and issued a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: comprehensive report with actionable reforms. Netna Who's reference to the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: US model highlighted what he described as desire for bipartisan
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in public accepted inquiry. Critics say the process and structure
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he is proposing differ substantially from the independent nine to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: eleven model. I want you to listen to what he
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: had to say in his own words, as netya Who
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: talked about why there needs to be, as he described it,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a real investigation.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It suggested that the way that we address this question
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of investigating what happened on October seventh, is the same
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: way that the United States investigated the question of what
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: happened on September eleventh. Okay, this was the greatest tragedy
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: that befell as well in our Bondern history. And this
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: is the greatest tragedy that befell America on its greatest tragedy, okay,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: in their history, actually their total history. All right, So
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: what did the United States do? They had a president Okay,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: he was there. What did he do? He said, Look,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: there is no way to turn this into a partisan issue.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to turn to both Republicans and Democrats
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and establish a special committee. He actually legislated a special law,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and he said, this is a law for the investigative
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a by partisan investigative commission to investigate what happened in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: September eleventh. That's exactly what we are doing. I suggested
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that the only way that this can be dealt with
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: is to establish a bipartisan investigatory committee, half of whose
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: members will be appointed by the coalition, half of whose
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: members will be appointed by the opposition. There is no
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: better way to do this. They can ask any question,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: they can raise any subject, they can question anyone they
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: want including me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now, the interesting thing is why would the opposition to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: net Nyahu, as they've already described it, refuse to participate
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in this. It is because clearly they want net Nyahu gone,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: they want to get rid of him and doing this commission.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: If it comes up with transparency and there's not a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: smoking gun showing that net Nyahu somehow is asleep at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the wheel, then it's going to be much harder for
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: them to gain seats and more power. It would also
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: help in many ways, I think, add to the power
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that neat Yahu has. Now there is an approval rating
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: question there. There's about doubt about it. There are people
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that want answers net Nya, who's approval rating is lower
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: than it should be, than he would like it to be,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and so that's part of the reason why I think
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: he decided to have this press conference. I also think though,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that Netnya, who understands now that there are too many
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: people asking too many questions and you need to just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: show that you're not afraid to have a real investigation.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The families have become very vocal about this, all right.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The opposition parties have in essence, I would argue Teamed
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: up and use politically. The brief families who are strongly
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: opposed to netnya who's government led inquiry, calling it, they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: described it today as a quote whitewash and demanded they say,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a quote truly independent state commission with the authority to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: whole political and military leadership accountable. Now, if you listen
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to that verbiage, let me explain what they're trying to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: do on the upsite. They're trying to get rid of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Netnyahu in any of his allies. They want there to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be an inquiry that would allow for them to get
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: rid of net Nyah and the people in and around him,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: so that they want to use the angry And I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't blame any of the victims' parents, those that are upset,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: those that are angry with Netanyahu for example. I want
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to be clear about that. I don't criticize people that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: lose their kids. I don't criticize people that lose their
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: their family members and tears attack. If they act out afterwards,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they're angry. You have every right to be angry. But
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: what I do have a problem with is when political
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: leaders or parties then exploit that anger. In that rage
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and the tragedy to push their own political agenda. We
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: see this constantly in this country on the issue of guns. Right,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: there's a terrible tragedy, immediately Democrats never let a crisis
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: go to waste.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They run in.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They try to use the pain and the suffering of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: those people to then push their political agenda, which is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: gun control. And in many cases they'll advocate for gun
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: control when even if the all they're advocating for would
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: have been enacted, he would have had no bearing on
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the shooting that took place that day. When they're trying
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to exploit the grieving parents and loved ones, That's what
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I do have a problem with, and I think that's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: part of what we're kind of witnessing here from the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: opposition that hate net Nyahuo is they want power, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: they're like, all right, let's go find these angry parents
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and let's use them so that we can weaken net
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yahoo and his leadership and the people that are around him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That to me is incredibly sick, no different than what
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we witness in this country. You know, I remember when
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: when in this country, I think it was Michael Moore,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: remember when he did the movie Bullying for Columbine after
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Kylebine shooting, and I watched it and I was at
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: first I was in total awe by the movie.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I was much younger than h documentary whatever.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Then I started doing research afterwards and realized how much
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of it was actually just pure political propaganda. And then
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what made me even more angry is the fact that
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: how much money Michael Moore made off that tragedy and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: exploited people with that tragedy. I would argue, no different
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: than what we've witnessed with guys like on the right.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Well, forget that, let's deal with Charlie Kirk for a moment.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It's no different than what we witness with Charlie Kirk
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and the people that are profiting off the conspiracy theories
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk right.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: That that are out of thin air.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's no different than what we've witnessed with Candace Owens,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for example, and those that are that are profiting from that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It's no different than the people that have in this
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: country profited, clearly made money off of being deniers of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: what happened in Israel on October seventh. We've seen it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with Flints, We've seen it with Tucker Carlson, right, We've
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: seen it with Candace Owens. The list goes on and on,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and many of those people have made a lot of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: money off of the opportunity to say no, I'm not
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: going to stand with Israel, or to say that, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: for example, that Charlie Kirk's murder was not real.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Like the other day, I'll give you a great example.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I had someone send me a link to somebody and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I've never seen this person before in my life and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I work in this industry, and what they were saying
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: on video is they were like, well, Charlie Kirk isn't.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Actually dead, He's still alive.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And it had millions and millions and millions and millions
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and millions of views.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And it's like, what in the actual hell.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Is wrong with people when they will use someone dying
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to then make money off of it. The number of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: people that made money off of his death with the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: T shirts that they were selling and immediately went to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a profitability of let's make mugs and T shirts.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So this went on and on, and why do they
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: do it? Why did they do it? One reason they.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Saw an opportunity to make money off of a tragedy
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that to me is just incredibly sad. It is no
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: different than what we're witnessing here with this issue with Israel.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: There are people in this country that have figured out
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you can make a lot of money being anti Jewish,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and so they're going to keep making that money because
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's what they do, right Like, that's their thing, that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is their im And it really is incredibly sad. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it's also the reality of where we are. What do
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you think about the Department of Home in Security offering
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants a three thousand dollars holiday stipend for self deportation,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Because here's.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: What we've found out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: The federal government is offering a three thousand dollars holiday stipend.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: They're calling it to encourage illegal immigrants to self deport
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: over Christmas. The small expense, they say, is far less
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in the cost of chasing and deporting migrants, and it
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: comes to growing economic pressure on migrants who are losing
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: jobs and housing. President Trump's enforcement of the nation's immigration
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: laws that are very popular right now. Quote during the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Christmas season, the US taxpayer is so generously tripling the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: offering a three thousand dollars exit bonus, but just until
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. That is what the Homeland
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Security Secretary Christy Nome said, say quote, illegal aliens should
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: take advantage of the gift and self deport because if
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they don't, we will find them, we will arrest them,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and they will never return.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Now here's the cool part.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Since January of this year, one point nine million illegal
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: aliens have voluntarily self deported. Tens of thousands have used
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the CBP Home program. The agency also has put out
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the statement added this self deportations through the CBP Home
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: app is the best gift that an illegal alien can
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: give themselves and their families this holiday season.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It's a fast, free and easy process.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Just download the app, fill out your information, and DHS
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: will take care of the rest, including arranging payment for
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: your travel back home. Those allegal aliens who take advantage
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of this, they say special offer today, have only one alternative.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: They'll be arrested, deported, and they will never be able
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to return to the United States of America. Now, reduced
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a number of migrants will help raise American wages and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: also is reducing the price of homes and rent and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: encourage sidelined Americans to now seek jobs. It also forced
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: US government immediate elite to shift their focus from the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: concerns of migrants and business groups to the concerns of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: ordinary Americans who are facing real crime, discrimination, and poverty.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: There is a.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Ton of evidence, by the way, and countless anecdotes that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: many migrants self deporting, but no firm data on exactly
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: how many could be gone. The government is now saying
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: it's about one point nine of two million. I'll give
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you another example of this. Thousands of Haitians and other
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: migrants in United States America I have crossed the border
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: into Canada. The Canadian Border Agency Services Agency says they've
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: processed officially about thirty two thousand asylum claims through November.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That is, they say a forty two percent decline from
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the same period last year. Now, according to a December
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: twenty I report in the Detroit Press, they say they're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: seeing more and more of this.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It's actually happening now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It's also interesting because some illegal immigrants are actually filming
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: themselves deporting themselves, avoiding being picked up by ice. They
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: make us feel unwelcome. Here is how one illegal immigrant
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: put it so. Now, he says I'm going home. He
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: shot a video at the airport. I would say, good,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to feel welcome here if you're
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: coming in and breaking into this country. I do want
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you to feel welcome here if you come into this
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: country the legal in the right way now. In December,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this illegal immigrant described early in December the self deportation
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of a Columbia family after the father had been deported
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: from Tucson, Arizona. The mother of the four children previously
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: told the local news that self deportation was the best
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: decision for her family after her husband was deported in January.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the Santos go ahead. Santos remained firm in
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: her decision to do this, which is pretty cool though
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: bittersweet tears as she described it, because well, I mean,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: America is awesome.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I think we can all agree on that. She expressed her.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Gratitude, saying, quote, I don't have the words to express
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: just how grateful I am. I want to thank all
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the people that we met while we stayed here. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: self deportation and the US Customs immigration horsemen actually put
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: out the local Channel thirteen news video and here's what
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: part of it sounded like.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: For three years. She's been raising her children on her
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: own since January, after her husband was deported. She tells
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: me she wanted to stay in the country longer and
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: have better education for her kids. Go Asantos says ICE
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: agents contacted her over the phone and gave her an
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: option to either be detained or self deport She believes
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: leaving is the best choice for her family or She says,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I don't want my kids to see someone come into
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the house with a gun or have them or her
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: be handcuffed. Go Asanto's plans to make the most of
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: her last few days she has here. She still says
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: she has plenty to be grateful for. She's thankful to
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: God for her kids and family. I asked her what
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: she'll miss most about being here in the US. The people,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: she tells me, the people.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You listen to that story, and I just say, good, like,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this is exactly.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: What we need. We need more of this, all right.

  Speaker 1: fraud and abuse within our government. It's something that we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: know has been rampant for quite some time, but we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: finally starting to witness some of that waste front abuse disappear.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: We know a lot of.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It was done when DOGE was started with Elon Musk
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: being in charge. But the journey is still a big one.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: The battle is still an uphill battle, and the government,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: we now are learning, has funded a lot of things
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that are going to make you want to beat your
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: head against the wall. The government has funded experiments that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: dose dogs with cocaine. You're paying for that. Also, your
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: tax dollars are paying to force ferrets to binge drink.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Those are just some of the highlights coming out from
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Santa Rampaul's Festivus Report released by the end of the year.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He wants you to know every year what your dollars
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: have been going for. The Kentucky Republican uses his annual
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: holiday report to air the grievances and highlight examples of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: massive government waste, which is reports stay total more than
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: one point six trillion when counting the interest payments on debt.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: The twenty twenty five report sites examples ranging from the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services paying social media influencers
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a collective forty million dollars to promote COVID nineteen vaccination
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: for racial and ethnic minority groups, to the State Department
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: spending one point five million to boost American films, television shows,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm not joking video games abroad. No matter how
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: much taxpayer money Washington burns through, politicians can't help but
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: demand more. Fiscal responsibility may not be the most crowded road,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: but it's one I've walked for years and years, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: this holiday season will be no different. That's what Senator
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Paul chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: said in a statement. He said, so before we go
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to the feats of strength, it's time for my airing
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of spending grievances referring to the Festivust tradition popularized in
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety sitcom Seinfeld. The bulk of the federal spending,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: mister Paul refers to his waist, is the record, and
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: this should make every American beyond angry. One point two
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars that we spent in interest payments this year
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: on the government's thirty eight point four trillion dollar debt,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So one point four trillion of the money that was
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: spent this year just went to interest that makes interest.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And this is how out of control our government spending
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and borrowing has become the third largest government expense, only
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: after Social Security and Medicare. Again, something that should make
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you very, very very angry now, he said. The government
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: refuses to balance its budget and taxpayers are stuck picking
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: up the trillion dollar tab annually. The more than four
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: hundred billion in the twenty twenty five wasteful spending outline
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: of interest payments on the debt included hundreds of millions
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: spent on gain of function research laboratory experiments on dogs, monkeys,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and rats. Something we know was a disaster with a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen vaccine, something that doctor Anthony Fauci's accused of
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: lying to Congress on the issue of gain and function research.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: He went on to say that includes more than thirteen
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: point eight million that we spent alone on beagal experiments.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Fourteen million, six hundred and eighty three thousand, two hundred
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and eighty dollars to make monkeys play a Price is
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Right inspired video game again, almost fifteen million just for
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that and so much more. He credited White Coat Waste,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a nonprofit watchdog organization that once the end government funded
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: animal testing, with helping identify those and other expenses. Again,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: bipartisanship is a good thing. The thirteen point eight million
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: for beagle experiments refers to the ongoing National Institute of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant funding for the University of Missouri,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Columbia that was first approved during Anthony Fauci's tenure. The
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: experiments exposed hundreds of beagles as young as four months
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: old to ticks to infect the dogs with illnesses like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The dogs are intentionally denied pain
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: relief so that it does not interact with the infection
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: or experimental vaccines. That is what White Coast waste research
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: has found. The group also identified an ongoing five point
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: two million dollar project funded by the National Institute of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Drug in which beagles are dosed with cocaine and methamphetamines.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The National Science Foundation and other agencies also monkeyed around
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: with your tax dollurs, Paul wrote in the report, using
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a pun to highlight the fourteen million in federal grants
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: for inhumane research involving the monkeys. He says, researchers at
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Brown University track the monkey's brain activity and eye movements
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: as they play a video game called Plinko, a variation
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of the famous Price Is Right game. The monkeys have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: head posts screwed into their skulls to keep their heads
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: still while they play the game. The report also sets
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the Department of Veterans, by the way, approved a one
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: million dollar project in which teenage ferrets are forced to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: binge drink alcohol for up to ninety days before they're killed.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That sounds exciting, the researchers claim. The goal of the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: drunken Ferrets experiment, which you're paying for, is to pave
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the way quote unquote for teenage ferrets to be used
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to test chemical weapons, opioids, extreme stress and TBI traumatic
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: brain injuries, or to conduct studies related to depression, stress responses, addiction, schizophrenia, suicide,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and sensory processing. The report states. Justin Goodman, by the way,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the senior vice president at Whitecoat Waste, said the group
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: is proud that mister Paul continues to include research on
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: wasteful government spending and wasteful government animal tests as well.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Now this is just some of what we found out,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: but there's even more. I'll give you another example of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: some of the shock and where your money is also going.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Not only do we spend one point five million for
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the AHHS spending on celebrity influencers to discourage the drug use, right,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that's one of your tax hours, but one point nine
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: million we also spent for mobile phone intervention for childhood
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: obesity Latino family specific That was where your tax dollars
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: went one point nine million for that. We also know
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that there was two hundred and forty four thousand funding
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: for a Pakistani children's climate cartoons, so we're still paying
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: for cartoons to be created in places like Pakistan. One
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: point five million. Promotion of US and media films overseas.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Two point five million for the National Science Foundation fund
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to promote insect consumption. So we're now paying two and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a half million for you to eat bugs, A million
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and a half for an influencer led anti drug TikTok campaign.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Forty million for covid vaccine promotion after the pandemic had
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: already ended. Let me see that again, your tax dollars.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: This year we spent forty million to promote the covid
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: vaccine even after the pandemic had ended. Twenty million controversial
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: experiment involving all the ferrets of dogs and monkeys I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago. Three point three million for anti
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: racism campus program at Northwestern University. Three point three million
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of your tax dollars for that. Seven point five billion
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: with a B allocated to EV infrastructure like vehicle infrastructure.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: But only sixty eight charging stations have been built, so
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we spent eight point five or excuse me, seven point
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: five billion on sixty five charging stations. Again, another example
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of the corruption in our government. Another twenty two point
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: six not million, but billion spending on migrant benefits. So
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: if you want to know what illegal immigrants are costing,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: it the bare minimum twenty two point six billion, which
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: we had to borrow the money. And now once we
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: borrow the money, now we're spending that over trillion dollars
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a year on interest payments.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Alote.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Now, the report also combines government spending deem waste with
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: category some may view as improper insufficient. Is what the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: left says about this, They say, well, you know there's
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a lot here that you don't understand, right, all right, Well,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: let's go to this. Another example, the Department of Health
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and Human Services approving a two point one million dollar
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: four year project where New York University researchers planned a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: camp outside EDM festivals to collect saliva samples to test
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: for over one thousand drugs. Quote, perhaps we don't need
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a multimillion dollar rave reconnaissance mission to confirm that nightclub
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: drugs are in fact drugs, is what was said by
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Senator Paul hhs Is also giving two point nine million
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to the University of Michigan to investigate a mystery that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: had baffled absolutely no one whether toddlers spending all day
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: on iPads might affect their development. Now, these are just
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: some of the highlights of your tax dollars, waste, fraud
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and abuse being brought to light. The question now is
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: how do we get rid of it? And what is
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the present plan to do on that issue. Don't forget
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: share this podcast please with your family and your friends
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: where whoever they are, and I will see you back
• 28:21
