Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Game ON! Trump Turns to CIA to go after Cartels in Mexico w Reaper Drones
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: I've got three very big stories that we've got to
- 0:03Speaker 1: handle today on the show. First up, the CIA is
- 0:07Speaker 1: now going after the cartels in Mexico.
- 0:11Speaker 2: What does this mean moving forward?
- 0:13Speaker 1: And could the military then be used to actually strike
- 0:17Speaker 1: the cartels.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I'll give you those details.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Also, the left in the media trying to convince you
- 0:23Speaker 1: that the FAA is having all these problems right now
- 0:26Speaker 1: with planes crashing, even those in Canada they blame Trump
- 0:30Speaker 1: for that has nothing to do with them. On the
- 0:33Speaker 1: layoffs from Doge, well, Sean Duffy has now come out
- 0:37Speaker 1: debunking all of the leftist lies on this issue, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the explanations and what he
- 0:42Speaker 1: said as well. And finally, can you imagine being in
- 0:47Speaker 1: Doage discovering four point seven trillion dollars of payments that
- 0:52Speaker 1: you can't trace? Well, that is exactly what they have found.
- 0:56Speaker 1: How did they get away with this in our federal government.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I'll explain that for you also. Before we get to
- 1:01Speaker 1: all that, though, I want to tell you real quick
- 1:03Speaker 1: about my friends over at Patriot Mobile. And if you've
- 1:07Speaker 1: got a cell phone and your cell phone is with
- 1:09Speaker 1: Big Mobile, it.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Is time for you to make the switch.
- 1:13Speaker 1: While we may have won this election, the fight to
- 1:16Speaker 1: restore our great nation is only beginning. Now is the
- 1:18Speaker 1: time to take a stand, and that is where Patriot
- 1:21Speaker 1: Mobile is leading the charge. They are America's only Christian
- 1:24Speaker 1: conservative wireless provider, and Patriot Mobile offers a way to
- 1:28Speaker 1: vote with your wallet without compromising on quality or convenience.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile isn't just about providing exceptional cell phone service.
- 1:38Speaker 1: It's a call to action to defend our rights and freedoms.
- 1:42Speaker 2: With Patriot Mobile, not only.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Do you get outstanding nationwide coverage because they operate on
- 1:46Speaker 1: all three major networks, but you also get to keep
- 1:50Speaker 1: the same cell phone number you have right now, or
- 1:52Speaker 1: you can upgrade to a new one and they have
- 1:54Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Now here's the big difference.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Every dollar you spend is making a difference with Patriot
- 2:01Speaker 1: Mobile because they take a portion of your bill every
- 2:03Speaker 1: month and they give it back to organizations that support
- 2:05Speaker 1: our first and our second amendments, the sanctity of life,
- 2:09Speaker 1: our veterans, our first responders, are wounded warriors, and.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Switching has never been easier.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Keep your number, keep your same phone, upgrade to a
- 2:17Speaker 1: new one.
- 2:18Speaker 2: So check them out.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Right now, go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson.
- 2:24Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. You're gonna get
- 2:27Speaker 1: a free month of service with the promo code ferguson.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You can also call them nine to seven to two
- 2:33Speaker 1: Patriot that's nine seven to two Patriot and get a
- 2:36Speaker 1: free month of service with promo code ferguson. Make the switch. Today,
- 2:41Speaker 1: we have got some major movements coming from the White
- 2:44Speaker 1: House on the issue of how we're gonna deal with
- 2:45Speaker 1: the drug cartels down in Mexico.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Two different reports.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Are now coming out, and I think they are incredibly exciting.
- 2:53Speaker 2: So let me break down part one.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Before we get to part two, which could be action
- 2:58Speaker 1: taken against the content cartels. Now, the CIA, we are
- 3:02Speaker 1: being told, is flying surveillance drones over the cartels now
- 3:07Speaker 1: in Mexico. This is part one because without intel then
- 3:12Speaker 1: it would be much harder for us to then go
- 3:14Speaker 1: after them or take them out. Right Well, now, multiple
- 3:18Speaker 1: news outlets are reporting that the CIA is now stepping
- 3:21Speaker 1: up their drone flights over Mexico. The currently unarmed flights
- 3:25Speaker 1: are said to be searching for fetnal labs that are
- 3:27Speaker 1: run by Mexican cartels designated by President Donald Trump as
- 3:31Speaker 1: foreign terrafts organizations. The US officials told The New York
- 3:35Speaker 1: Times the flights go well into sovereign Mexico. Now, the
- 3:40Speaker 1: flights reportedly began during the quote Biden administration, but we're
- 3:44Speaker 1: stepped up by CIA Director John Radcliffe after President Trump
- 3:48Speaker 1: made the foreign terras designation. So if liberals want to
- 3:51Speaker 1: freak out saying we're flying over Mexico, just know they
- 3:54Speaker 1: were doing a little bit of this when Joe Biden
- 3:57Speaker 1: was president. That's why I want to give you that information. Now,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the flights are not quote authorized to use lethal force
- 4:04Speaker 1: at this time.
- 4:05Speaker 2: This is all about intelligence gathering.
- 4:08Speaker 1: The CIA officers are just gathering the intelligence data and
- 4:11Speaker 1: then they're passing it along to quote Mexican officials. The
- 4:15Speaker 1: Times is also reporting, in other words, we're saying to Mexico,
- 4:19Speaker 1: you better do some of this for us. Now, that
- 4:23Speaker 1: is the risky part of the game, because many believe
- 4:26Speaker 1: that if you give this intel to Mexican officials, nothing
- 4:29Speaker 1: is going to actually happen. I'm going to deal with
- 4:31Speaker 1: that in a moment, but I wanted you to understand
- 4:33Speaker 1: the structure of this Now, Tuesday afternoon, CNN reported that
- 4:39Speaker 1: the CIA is flying the Reaper drones, the same ones
- 4:42Speaker 1: you've heard about, those mq dash nines, the ones that
- 4:45Speaker 1: you're familiar with that are used in Iraq, Afghanistan, the
- 4:47Speaker 1: Middle East. Now, these drones are equipped to deliver lethal payloads,
- 4:52Speaker 1: but are not currently armed.
- 4:54Speaker 2: This is all about surveillance. Quote.
- 4:56Speaker 1: The mq DASH nine drones used for the mission are
- 4:59Speaker 1: not currently arms, CNN said, but they can be equipped
- 5:02Speaker 1: with payloads to carry out precision strikes. The US regularly
- 5:05Speaker 1: uses these to target suspected terrafts in Syria, Iraq, and Somalia.
- 5:10Speaker 1: CNN even added some current and formal officials say designating
- 5:14Speaker 1: cartels as terrorist groups could potentially lay the groundwork for
- 5:18Speaker 1: direct US strikes against the cartels and their drug labs
- 5:21Speaker 1: in Mexico. It is not clear if the US notified
- 5:25Speaker 1: Mexico of the surveillance flights prior to entering Mexican air
- 5:29Speaker 1: space well on February the thirteenth. We also have been
- 5:33Speaker 1: told now that the US Department of State was expected
- 5:37Speaker 1: to designate certain factions of Mexican cartels as quote foreign
- 5:42Speaker 1: terrorists organizations. Now, many of these cartels that are being
- 5:47Speaker 1: distinguished now as these foreign terrorist organizations are cartels that
- 5:52Speaker 1: you may have heard of. For example, the Sinaloa Cartel
- 5:55Speaker 1: is one that a lot of know about. The Gulf
- 5:57Speaker 1: Cartel is another one. Zeena is another. It's a northeastern cartel.
- 6:02Speaker 1: There are quite a few others now that I've been
- 6:04Speaker 1: told that you may not be familiar with, that are
- 6:07Speaker 1: very powerful in Mexico that are also being designated as
- 6:11Speaker 1: foreign terrast organizations. Now, there's another part of this reporting
- 6:14Speaker 1: that's also important, and I want to read this from
- 6:17Speaker 1: Breitbart Texas. Okay, Breitbart Texas has done an incredible job
- 6:21Speaker 1: of covering these types of stories in Breitbart News Foundation
- 6:24Speaker 1: have reported extensively on the Gulf Cartel, the reign of
- 6:29Speaker 1: tear that they have unleashed on northern Mexico, and the
- 6:32Speaker 1: protection that they've received from Mexico's government all right, as
- 6:37Speaker 1: well as Mexico's federal government. So local and federal are
- 6:41Speaker 1: protecting them in Mexico. Quote in addition to mass killings,
- 6:45Speaker 1: widespread kidnapping, and torture, each of these six cartels that
- 6:50Speaker 1: have now been designated by Trump as a foreign terrorist
- 6:52Speaker 1: organization have also been linked to the indiscriminate use of explosives,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and some of them the use of land minds to
- 7:01Speaker 1: even protect their territories. All of those organizations have a
- 7:06Speaker 1: long history of receiving government protection as well as legal protection,
- 7:10Speaker 1: with Mexican judges routinely released and captured cartel figures. This
- 7:14Speaker 1: is all documented and well stated if you've read some
- 7:18Speaker 1: of these reports. Now it appears the government of Mexico
- 7:21Speaker 1: is denying quote overflight in Mexican air space.
- 7:25Speaker 2: That is part of what CNN reported, saying, quote, we.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Cannot roll out espionage because we do not know exactly
- 7:31Speaker 1: what was done. Is what the Mexican Defense Minister said
- 7:36Speaker 1: about America doing surveillance. However, they did not violate national
- 7:41Speaker 1: airspace yet, so they're playing still both sides of this,
- 7:46Speaker 1: because the entire government down in Mexico is completely controlled
- 7:50Speaker 1: by the cartels, make no mistake about it.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Now.
- 7:53Speaker 1: The CIA also has not publicly addressed the issue of
- 7:56Speaker 1: Mexican airspace. A spokesman said quote Countering drug cartels in
- 8:01Speaker 1: Mexico and regionally is now a priority for the CIA
- 8:06Speaker 1: as part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to end
- 8:09Speaker 1: the grave threat from Narco trafficking, The director John Radcliffe
- 8:14Speaker 1: is determined to put CIA's unique expertise to work against
- 8:19Speaker 1: this multifaceted challenge. Now you may say, all right, how
- 8:24Speaker 1: are the cartels going to sleep well at night knowing
- 8:26Speaker 1: that this is happening. I think it's pretty clear the
- 8:29Speaker 1: Mexican government is going to protect them, because the Mexican
- 8:33Speaker 1: government controls all of this, Which brings me to part
- 8:36Speaker 1: two of the story. If this is about intelligence gathering
- 8:42Speaker 1: and these drones are not equipped in any capacity right
- 8:47Speaker 1: to actually make strikes, and that's what we are being
- 8:50Speaker 1: told that there is very simply put, this is all
- 8:56Speaker 1: about intelligence gathering and some of the intelligence they are
- 8:59Speaker 1: going to give to Mexico.
- 9:00Speaker 2: There's two parts to why this may work.
- 9:03Speaker 1: One, if you're giving this to Mexico and they're not
- 9:05Speaker 1: acting on it, then it's going to give you more
- 9:07Speaker 1: of the ability to say, Okay, we tried to work
- 9:09Speaker 1: with you. You guys aren't doing anything to stop these
- 9:11Speaker 1: the fetnel flow into this country, and so now we
- 9:14Speaker 1: have to make take matters in their own hands.
- 9:16Speaker 2: That's number one.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Number two, it also tells you that we are building
- 9:20Speaker 1: an intelligence network so that we understand where the drugs
- 9:23Speaker 1: are going from where they're starting, where they're where the
- 9:26Speaker 1: trafficking's happening, who's buying them, who's selling them, who's bringing
- 9:29Speaker 1: them across the border, And you can trace the drugs
- 9:31Speaker 1: out from the jungle or from these labs wherever we
- 9:34Speaker 1: are monitoring them with these drones. Then the third question
- 9:39Speaker 1: that everyone is asking is an important one. Are we
- 9:42Speaker 1: actually going to hit them? Are we going to hit
- 9:45Speaker 1: where these distribution centers are from the sky? Are we
- 9:49Speaker 1: going to hit where these labs are maybe in the
- 9:51Speaker 1: middle of nowhere in the jungles.
- 9:53Speaker 2: It's a great question.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Now, there's two things here that I want you to
- 10:00Speaker 1: understand about what could come next. Number One, Tom Holman
- 10:06Speaker 1: said that we are working on striking cartels in Mexico.
- 10:10Speaker 1: He also gave some new information that interior arrests by
- 10:14Speaker 1: ice have increased by more than one hundred and thirty
- 10:16Speaker 1: seven percent under President Trump. Arrests of aliens with criminal
- 10:20Speaker 1: convictions has doubled under President Trump in the last month.
- 10:24Speaker 1: The arrest of illegal alien gang members has also doubled.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Our streets and neighborhoods are that much safer under President Trump,
- 10:32Speaker 1: he said, and said we are less than a month
- 10:34Speaker 1: into this and have done more than the Biden administration
- 10:38Speaker 1: ever did in four years because we know what they
- 10:40Speaker 1: were doing. So this brings me back to, Okay, we
- 10:44Speaker 1: get intel on these cartels, we start to understand where
- 10:49Speaker 1: their network is. We're doing all that with these reaper
- 10:52Speaker 1: drones right now. I think a lot of people say, look,
- 10:55Speaker 1: when are we going to hit them? Right it's a
- 10:56Speaker 1: fair question. President Donald Trump declared that the drug cartels
- 11:01Speaker 1: were foreign terrorist organizations. That was massive on his first
- 11:05Speaker 1: day in office, he said it. And now the borders
- 11:08Speaker 1: are Tom Holman says, there are quote active discussions about
- 11:12Speaker 1: US military strikes on terror targets in Mexico. So you
- 11:15Speaker 1: can start celebrating because this is about to get real.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Now.
- 11:20Speaker 1: While all this is happening, there's a side story that's
- 11:23Speaker 1: exploded from this, and it.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Deals with AOC.
- 11:26Speaker 1: AOC is like obsessed now with crying. I guess again,
- 11:31Speaker 1: you know at the Wall, remember when she did that
- 11:33Speaker 1: photo op or she said there's kids in cages that
- 11:36Speaker 1: were actually built by Obama. She went down there and
- 11:38Speaker 1: fake cried and the media picked it up. She's now
- 11:41Speaker 1: attacking Tom Homan and any American that wants to get
- 11:44Speaker 1: rid of these violent criminals in America or go after
- 11:47Speaker 1: them New Mexico. And I want you to hear this
- 11:49Speaker 1: real quick. Take a listen, Tom Holman.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Who's the head of who's the head of who's directing
- 11:55Speaker 3: a lot of these ice operations nationally? Etc. He went
- 11:59Speaker 3: on TV practically crying. This dude was winding his ass
- 12:05Speaker 3: off because I went into the city of Chicago, and
- 12:09Speaker 3: Chicago had prepared for them their mayor and local elected
- 12:14Speaker 3: officials who were solid on this issue. They educated the
- 12:18Speaker 3: city on their legal rights.
- 12:22Speaker 4: For more, let's welcome in the person that she was
- 12:24Speaker 4: referencing there Trump administration borders are Tom home and Tom
- 12:27Speaker 4: good to see you. I know you've been asked this
- 12:29Speaker 4: question before, but.
- 12:32Speaker 2: I don't care. How do you respond to that? But
- 12:34Speaker 2: what do you make.
- 12:35Speaker 4: Of that that an elected official is saying that kind
- 12:37Speaker 4: of thing?
- 12:39Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I think she's you know, I
- 12:42Speaker 5: won't go.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I want to go. I want to go, Tom, please do,
- 12:45Speaker 2: please do. It's a holiday.
- 12:48Speaker 5: Look, she's she's she's the dumbest congresswoman ever. He listened
- 12:51Speaker 5: to the Congress and she proves that every day. And look,
- 12:53Speaker 5: bottom line is, I can't believe any member, any member
- 12:57Speaker 5: of Congress, Republican, Democrat, independent, would want to educate criminal
- 13:02Speaker 5: illegal aliens who are in the country illegally, been convicted
- 13:06Speaker 5: of a violent crime and have been ordered to remove
- 13:09Speaker 5: by an immigration judge after due process at great tax
- 13:12Speaker 5: payer expense. You got a congressman or congresswoman that does
- 13:17Speaker 5: not want ICE to do the job that Congress has
- 13:20Speaker 5: mandated them to do and funds them to do. So
- 13:24Speaker 5: she doesn't want to if she doesn't want the ICE
- 13:26Speaker 5: to enforce the laws they enacted, and what the hell
- 13:30Speaker 5: is Congress doing. I gotta they can spend their time
- 13:32Speaker 5: doing better things rather than the right laws they didn't
- 13:34Speaker 5: wanted some force. President Trump and me have been clear
- 13:37Speaker 5: from day one. We're concentrating on public safety, trusts and
- 13:40Speaker 5: national security threasts. She can call it education, constitution rights
- 13:43Speaker 5: all she wants, but we all know what she's doing.
- 13:46Speaker 5: She's out there telling people how to evade enforcement, how
- 13:49Speaker 5: to evade ICE arrest and again the most dangerous of
- 13:52Speaker 5: the illegal aliens in the country, giving them heads up.
- 13:55Speaker 5: And I'll say it again, I hope she's not educating
- 13:58Speaker 5: the next murderer of a college nursing student. Or not
- 14:01Speaker 5: educating the next illegal alien is going to burn a
- 14:04Speaker 5: woman alive on a subway.
- 14:05Speaker 2: That is my concern.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Yes, I hope she's not educating the next Jose Ibarra
- 14:09Speaker 4: who killed Lake and Riley.
- 14:10Speaker 2: That's such a good point.
- 14:12Speaker 1: And this is where we are now in this debate.
- 14:15Speaker 1: They don't care if you die by an illegal immigrant.
- 14:18Speaker 1: They don't care if you are killed or your kids
- 14:22Speaker 1: are killed, your grandkids are killed by an acconal overdose
- 14:24Speaker 1: which is fetnyl coming across the border. They don't care
- 14:29Speaker 1: that these cartel members are human trafficking and sex trafficking
- 14:33Speaker 1: and abusing women and children and locking them up and
- 14:36Speaker 1: murdering them.
- 14:37Speaker 2: They just don't care.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And so when you hear AOC say what she just said,
- 14:42Speaker 1: this is still where the left is even after election day.
- 14:45Speaker 1: This is also, I think the reason why they're losing
- 14:47Speaker 1: the country. Now, you go and you listen to that,
- 14:51Speaker 1: and then let's go back to the strikes on Mexico.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Could that actually happen? All right?
- 14:56Speaker 1: Tom Holman says, Look, this is something that we're working
- 14:59Speaker 1: on now, all right, Like this is a real conversation
- 15:02Speaker 1: we're having. All of it's on the table, even though
- 15:06Speaker 1: we have not actively used militaries as a strike plan yet,
- 15:10Speaker 1: it is something that we've talked about.
- 15:13Speaker 2: He said.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Well, striking a target in Mexico also require work with
- 15:16Speaker 1: the Mexican government and its military. Homan suggested there might
- 15:20Speaker 1: be a an override over fair warning if American border
- 15:25Speaker 1: patrol agents are under an active threat, saying this, but
- 15:29Speaker 1: I can tell you President Trump has made Mexico cartels
- 15:32Speaker 1: who put a death threat against border patrol.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Agents or our military.
- 15:37Speaker 1: If they harm a border patrol agent or the military,
- 15:40Speaker 1: then President Trump will wipe them off the face of
- 15:43Speaker 1: the earth.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Now why did he make that statement.
- 15:46Speaker 1: The reason why is because there have been active threats
- 15:49Speaker 1: against border patrol agents coming from the cartel.
- 15:53Speaker 2: We know this.
- 15:54Speaker 1: They have been reaching out and saying, if you keep
- 15:56Speaker 1: doing your job this way, we will kill you and
- 15:59Speaker 1: your family. A lot of times. They have great intelligence.
- 16:02Speaker 1: They know where the family where these borbitral agents live.
- 16:05Speaker 1: They know where their families live. I mean, it's next level.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The cartel does their research. They have family and friends
- 16:11Speaker 1: in America, people that come across the border legally. They've
- 16:14Speaker 1: got their apparatus set up here and this is a
- 16:17Speaker 1: multi billion dollar industry for them. Now, Trump quote is
- 16:21Speaker 1: not likely to overstep a military action barring an immediate threat,
- 16:25Speaker 1: because relations are in a good spot. That according to
- 16:28Speaker 1: Homan as well, he said, quote, I think President Trump
- 16:31Speaker 1: has them where he wants them. They're now putting military
- 16:35Speaker 1: on their northern border and our southern border. They are
- 16:38Speaker 1: now participating and beginning to participate in remain in Mexico.
- 16:42Speaker 1: President Trump is demanding they take action, and we're monitoring them.
- 16:45Speaker 1: President Trump, you know, he's a game changer. President Trump
- 16:48Speaker 1: has already got Mexico to where he wants them, and
- 16:51Speaker 1: he's going to force more out of them in the
- 16:54Speaker 1: near future. So again, this is Donald Trump, I think,
- 16:58Speaker 1: saying pretty clearly, I look, I don't.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Think you want me.
- 17:02Speaker 1: And he also understands the reality of the situation on
- 17:07Speaker 1: the ground. You guys can either stop this flow or
- 17:12Speaker 1: I'll stop it.
- 17:13Speaker 2: You pick now.
- 17:15Speaker 1: He knows that when he's talking the federal government, he's
- 17:18Speaker 1: talking directly to the cartels because the cartels are running
- 17:24Speaker 1: the federal government. They're propping up the federal government. So
- 17:28Speaker 1: when he says what he says to them, they immediately
- 17:31Speaker 1: are telling the cartels. So his response is actually very simple. Hey,
- 17:37Speaker 1: you guys better do what I'm telling you to do,
- 17:39Speaker 1: and if you don't, then it's going to be hell
- 17:41Speaker 1: to pay. And I don't think you guys are going
- 17:43Speaker 1: to enjoy it, and it's going to be a lot
- 17:45Speaker 1: worse for you. So he does have them where he
- 17:48Speaker 1: wants to. Now, can you overthrow the Mexican government?
- 17:52Speaker 5: No?
- 17:52Speaker 1: Should we know? Do we want to invade No? Do
- 17:55Speaker 1: we want to protect American citizens from federol Yes? And
- 17:58Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants come across, Yes, And so there's a
- 18:01Speaker 1: choice to be made here. Do I believe that all
- 18:03Speaker 1: the drugs are going to stop coming across the southern border?
- 18:05Speaker 2: I do not.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Okay, I do not for a second think that all
- 18:10Speaker 1: the drugs are going to stop coming. Can you drop
- 18:12Speaker 1: them down to ten percent of what they were before?
- 18:15Speaker 1: I think that's a fair plan, a realistic initiative, just
- 18:20Speaker 1: like we have border crossings that are down over ninety
- 18:22Speaker 1: percent right now, just because of the change in president.
- 18:26Speaker 1: So is there a chance that we could strike the
- 18:29Speaker 1: cartels if the government doesn't do their job.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Yes.
- 18:34Speaker 1: If the Mexican government doesn't do what they need to do,
- 18:38Speaker 1: and the cartels know what that is, then They're all
- 18:40Speaker 1: bets are off, and that is exactly why the President
- 18:43Speaker 1: is doing what he's doing, flying these Reaper drones over
- 18:47Speaker 1: Mexico right now, spying on, I would argue, probably the government,
- 18:52Speaker 1: and spying certainly on the cartels and the military. This
- 18:56Speaker 1: is a good day for all of us. I want
- 19:00Speaker 1: to pivot to another big story that I mentioned earlier,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and that deals with more Doge shock. DOGE has now
- 19:09Speaker 1: discovered four point seven trillion of Treasury Department payments that
- 19:18Speaker 1: are quote almost impossible to be traced. You got to
- 19:24Speaker 1: ask yourself the question, why why would the Treasury Department
- 19:29Speaker 1: send four point seven trillion dollars of payments without an
- 19:32Speaker 1: identification code that links a Treasury payment to a budget
- 19:37Speaker 1: line item. That is what DOGE has announced, making the
- 19:41Speaker 1: payments quote impossible, almost impossible to trace. Doage said the
- 19:46Speaker 1: identification payment code called t AS for Treasury Access Symbol
- 19:54Speaker 1: is now required as of Saturday to increase the insight
- 19:58Speaker 1: into where money is actually going, because well, we don't
- 20:02Speaker 1: know where four point seven trillion dollars of your tax
- 20:05Speaker 1: dollars actually went.
- 20:06Speaker 2: The Treasury Access Symbol.
- 20:08Speaker 1: TASK is an identification code linking Treasury payments to a
- 20:13Speaker 1: budget line item.
- 20:14Speaker 2: This is in parentheses.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Dade said standard financial process in the federal government. The
- 20:20Speaker 1: TAS field was optional for four point seven trillion, not
- 20:26Speaker 1: billion million, four point seven trillion in payments and was
- 20:30Speaker 1: often left blank, making traceability, as they described it, almost impossible.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Think about that, like, why would you not want to
- 20:43Speaker 1: trace four point seven trillion in payments? Because you don't
- 20:47Speaker 1: want the people to see what's happening. That's the only
- 20:51Speaker 1: reason why you do this. This isn't by like, this
- 20:53Speaker 1: isn't some random accident of like four point seven trillion
- 20:56Speaker 1: dollars disappearing. This is a deliberate abuse of four point
- 21:01Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars in payments so that you couldn't ask
- 21:04Speaker 1: questions about it now.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Fox News also reported.
- 21:07Speaker 1: On the tas R Task Payment Code system, saying quote
- 21:12Speaker 1: According to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which is
- 21:16Speaker 1: under the Treasury, TAS codes are used to describe any
- 21:20Speaker 1: one of the account identification codes assigned by the Treasury,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and is also referred to as the quote account. All
- 21:29Speaker 1: financial transactions made by the federal government are classified by TAS.
- 21:33Speaker 1: When reporting to the Treasury in the Office of Management
- 21:37Speaker 1: and Budget, you may have heard of THATMB The discovery
- 21:41Speaker 1: was announced on the same day, by the way that
- 21:43Speaker 1: DOGE appeared to have populated the doge dot gov savings page,
- 21:47Speaker 1: which as of Monday evenings said the total estimated savings
- 21:51Speaker 1: since the establishment of the department is now totaling about
- 21:54Speaker 1: fifty five billion dollars. Quote Improvement and Treasury Payment Integrity
- 22:02Speaker 1: going live. Must post it on x saying this is
- 22:05Speaker 1: this was a combined effort of DOGE, US Treasury, and
- 22:09Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Nice work by all.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Now, the absence of the code was discovered during a
- 22:15Speaker 1: DOGE audit of the Treasury Department to find and cut waste,
- 22:18Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. Democrats oppose the audit.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Democrats oppose the audit on the grounds that DOGE, a
- 22:28Speaker 1: department within the federal government, should not have access quote
- 22:31Speaker 1: to taxpayer's sensitive data. Attorney generals all lefties from fourteen
- 22:37Speaker 1: different states even sued to block DOGE from accessing the data,
- 22:41Speaker 1: alleging what they described as quote executive overreach. So if
- 22:45Speaker 1: you want to know what states are probably getting the
- 22:47Speaker 1: most of this money, it's probably the same fourteen states
- 22:50Speaker 1: that sued to block us from seeing where our tax
- 22:52Speaker 1: dollars are going.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Quote, this is not some roving band.
- 22:57Speaker 1: This is methodical and it is going to yield big savings.
- 23:01Speaker 1: That is what the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bennett said in
- 23:04Speaker 1: a TV interview about the Doge audit. Now, the left
- 23:09Speaker 1: is just enraged by this. They don't understand why they
- 23:13Speaker 1: have to deal with accountability. They don't like that all
- 23:16Speaker 1: their money is drying up at a pace. And I
- 23:19Speaker 1: don't think they ever thought this would happen. I don't
- 23:21Speaker 1: think they ever thought there'd be a day, at least
- 23:24Speaker 1: while they're alive, where the US government would actually have
- 23:28Speaker 1: to answer to the American people because it had gotten
- 23:30Speaker 1: so big and the waste was well in the trillions
- 23:32Speaker 1: of dollars as we are now seeing, which brings me,
- 23:36Speaker 1: by the way, to another point I want to make.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt, White House President Terry was on Shahn Handy's
- 23:40Speaker 1: show last night and this is what she had to
- 23:44Speaker 1: say about the White House, saying, Look, we are instructing
- 23:47Speaker 1: Musk to probe anything that's fraudulent. Whether that's so Security payments,
- 23:53Speaker 1: whether that's Treasury Department payments, whether that's DoD doesn't matter,
- 23:58Speaker 1: because our job is to save tax money. Here is
- 24:01Speaker 1: part of her conversation with Hannity.
- 24:04Speaker 6: President Trump has directed Elon Musk in the Doge team
- 24:07Speaker 6: to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration. They haven't
- 24:12Speaker 6: dug into the bookshet, but they suspect that there are
- 24:14Speaker 6: tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent
- 24:18Speaker 6: Social Security payments. And so their goal and going into
- 24:22Speaker 6: the Social Security Administration is to identify three things. Number one,
- 24:27Speaker 6: to identify duplicate payments and to end them. Number two,
- 24:32Speaker 6: to identify payments that are going to deceased people who
- 24:35Speaker 6: are no longer living and should no longer be receiving
- 24:38Speaker 6: that money. And number three, to protect the integrity of
- 24:42Speaker 6: the system for hardworking Americans who have been paying into
- 24:45Speaker 6: it their entire lives. So rest assured to all of
- 24:48Speaker 6: the people watching your show tonight, if you paid into
- 24:51Speaker 6: the system honestly, you will continue to receive your Social
- 24:55Speaker 6: Security text checks. Do not buy into the lives from
- 24:58Speaker 6: the legacy fake news meant who are trying to fear
- 25:01Speaker 6: you and scare you into believing otherwise. This is what
- 25:04Speaker 6: we've seen them do about President Trump for years, with
- 25:07Speaker 6: every promise that he has made and he's going in
- 25:09Speaker 6: there to protect your hard earned money.
- 25:11Speaker 2: That is the ultimate goal.
- 25:14Speaker 7: Okay, they have apparently found eight point seven million Americans
- 25:19Speaker 7: who are listed. Now that doesn't mean that we don't
- 25:23Speaker 7: know if they're being paid, but they're listed and they're on.
- 25:26Speaker 2: The Social Security role.
- 25:29Speaker 7: Their names are there that are over one hundred and
- 25:33Speaker 7: thirty years old. Eight point seven million Americans listed and
- 25:38Speaker 7: as Elon said, far more eligible Social Security numbers than
- 25:42Speaker 7: they're actual citizens in the US. But we don't know
- 25:47Speaker 7: yet if checks are being sent to either individuals that
- 25:50Speaker 7: are dead or maybe family members that are receiving them.
- 25:54Speaker 7: We just know their names are still on the list.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Right, Yes, that's exactly right.
- 25:59Speaker 6: There are a lot of unanswered questions, but that's exactly
- 26:02Speaker 6: why these Social Security employees, I may add, are digging
- 26:06Speaker 6: into the books and going line by line because past
- 26:09Speaker 6: administrations have refused to do this very time consuming but
- 26:13Speaker 6: necessary work. And I want to emphasize that these are
- 26:16Speaker 6: Social Security political appointees. With every change of a new administration,
- 26:21Speaker 6: you have new political empointees just like me and my
- 26:24Speaker 6: colleagues at the White House, who onboard to serve the
- 26:27Speaker 6: elected president. That's called a democracy. And for far too
- 26:31Speaker 6: long we've had a bureaucracy that has been running these agencies.
- 26:35Speaker 6: And look at what has resulted in tens of billions
- 26:39Speaker 6: of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse every single year
- 26:42Speaker 6: that we know of. And so these DOGE employees, these
- 26:45Speaker 6: Social Security employees, are onboarding as Social Security Administration employees
- 26:49Speaker 6: political appointees, and they have every right to administer President
- 26:54Speaker 6: Trump's agenda. And that's their main focus with this effort,
- 26:57Speaker 6: not just at Social Security, but of course at every
- 27:00Speaker 6: every agency.
- 27:00Speaker 1: As you know, let's talk about the Social Security story,
- 27:04Speaker 1: because this is another part of the corruption that we're witnessing,
- 27:08Speaker 1: and so you understand just how much fraud there could
- 27:12Speaker 1: actually be that you're paying for. This for me is
- 27:16Speaker 1: all about the cash, right, like every aspect of this
- 27:20Speaker 1: is to me, It is about the money. And DOGE
- 27:24Speaker 1: is now investigating a potential social security fraud millions aged
- 27:31Speaker 1: one hundred and.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Thirty plus on the roles.
- 27:35Speaker 1: The Department of Government Efficiency is investigating potential social Security fraud,
- 27:39Speaker 1: and its head Elon Musk, posted startling information about its database, saying, quote.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Social Security database, these are the numbers.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Of people in each age bucket with the death field
- 27:50Speaker 1: set to false must began posting an image of a
- 27:53Speaker 1: chart with an age bracket going all the way up
- 27:56Speaker 1: to three hundred.
- 27:57Speaker 2: And sixty nine years old.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Indeed, the INFOS showed millions of individuals listed in some
- 28:04Speaker 1: of the more unlikely brackets. For example, there are four
- 28:08Speaker 1: point seven million that were listed between the ages of
- 28:12Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and nine. I think we
- 28:15Speaker 1: can all agree there's not four point seven million people
- 28:18Speaker 1: in America that are on Social Security between the ages
- 28:21Speaker 1: of one hundred and one hundred and nine.
- 28:23Speaker 2: It gets worse.
- 28:25Speaker 1: There are three point six million on the Social Security
- 28:29Speaker 1: roll list that are aged one hundred and ten to
- 28:32Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen.
- 28:34Speaker 2: It gets worse.
- 28:36Speaker 1: There are three point four million recipients in the age
- 28:40Speaker 1: bracket of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and
- 28:43Speaker 1: twenty nine. What's even more shocking is the numbers about
- 28:48Speaker 1: to go up. Okay, I just told you there's three
- 28:50Speaker 1: point four million people on the rolls from the ages
- 28:53Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty to one hundred and twenty nine.
- 28:55Speaker 1: That number jumps from three point four million to three
- 28:59Speaker 1: point nine million for the age group one thirty to
- 29:02Speaker 1: one thirty nine. What's even more shocking is from the
- 29:07Speaker 1: age one hundred and forty to one hundred and forty
- 29:09Speaker 1: nine there is three point four million in that age
- 29:12Speaker 1: group list. And finally, from the age one fifty to
- 29:15Speaker 1: one fifty nine there's one point three million. The figures continue. Okay,
- 29:22Speaker 1: this is insane. There's even one age bracket between the
- 29:27Speaker 1: ages of three hundred and sixty to three hundred and
- 29:29Speaker 1: sixty nine years old. So according to the Social Security Database,
- 29:34Speaker 1: these are the numbers of people in each age group
- 29:36Speaker 1: with the death field set to false. So there's a
- 29:40Speaker 1: lot of quote vampires, as must put it, collecting social Security,
- 29:45Speaker 1: not a few, a lot. Yes, there are far more
- 29:49Speaker 1: eligible Social Security members, by the way, than there are
- 29:52Speaker 1: citizens in the US of A.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Is something else that must add it.
- 29:57Speaker 1: This might be the biggest fraud in a American history.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast wherever you can on
- 30:04Speaker 1: social media and I will see you back here tomorrow.
