  Speaker 2: Center.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about today on the show,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: including some very interesting moves by Act Blue. We got
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to remind people exactly who they are well.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Act Blue is the principal online funding arm for the
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Democrats nationally. It is the website that left wing donors
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: go to to give money to Democrats. It raises hundreds
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: of millions of dollars for democrats, it funnels in and
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the aggregate billions of dollars for Democrats. And there have
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: long been serious allegations that Act Blue was essentially laundering
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: foreign contributions, that foreign nationals, in particular Chinese nationals, were
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: making illegal campaign contributions through Act Blue to fund Democrats
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: running for office. And this week the CEO of Act
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Blue testified before Congress and Congress the House is examining
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: whether Act Blue was deliberately covered up the illegal foreign
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: contributions that they were receiving, whether Act Blue lied to
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Congress over it, and the Act Blue CEO over and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: over and over again pleaded the fifth Her answer to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: just about every question was I can't answer because that
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: may incriminate me in criminal conduct. It was studying. We're
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: going to break it down and give you all the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: facts on that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is incredible. I also wanted to talk
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to you real quick about the International Fellowship of Christians
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and Jews and the really important work they're doing to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: help people that are hurting right now in Israel, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: how you can get involved. From America's revolutionary war to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Israel's fight for survival in nineteen forty eight, both nations
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have faced moments that tested their courage, freedom and endured.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: In October of nineteen eighty five, President Ronald Reagan delivered
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: these remarks about America's commitment to stand with Israel.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: In our talks, we paid special attention to two issues,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: our commitment to Israel's security and well being, and our
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: shared desire to move forward together toward a just and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: lasting piece between Israel and all its Arab neighbors. A
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: strong secure Israel is a shared interest.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: As Americas celebrates its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: between the United States and Israel, two democracies built on faith, liberty,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and hope. Sign up to receive a free USA Israel
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: flagpen when you go online to flag pin IFCJ dot org.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: That's flag pin if CJ dot org. All right, so
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: let's get back into this atblue. So there are many
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: people that they've heard the name you described this perfectly center.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: This is the arm and the power, the muscle of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party pushing agenda, ideology campaigns, ad campaigns, advocacy
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: campaigns for radical left things. But when they were asked
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: about their funding, and this is why it matters, they
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't answer the question of, hey, is this money coming
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in that you guys are raising from outside of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: United States of America. That would be a huge deal
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: because if I remember correctly, Democrats were obsessed with foreign
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: interference in our elections. They were obsessed with if Russia
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was involved in Donald Trump's campaign. Remember that that was
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like say, they wanted to impeach him over and now
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like you asked him a question like, hey, where's your
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: guys funding coming from, they're literally not saying a word.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not just that they want to do impeach
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: him over it. They did impeach him over it. They
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: impeached him that the House voted doing peach him when
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the Democrats had controlled, and then the Senate acquitted President Trump.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: But look, the facts here are really concerning on their face.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Here's what the New York Post reported. Act Blue ceo
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: pleads the fifth as House probes illegal foreign donations to Dems.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: The CEO of the largest Democratic fundraising platform pleaded the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Fifth Amendment Wednesday rather than testify before Congress about allegations
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that her firm illegally funneled foreign donations to federal campaigns. Quote,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: on the advice of Council, I respectfully declined to answer
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: this question pursue it to my Fifth Amendment rights under
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the Constitution. Act Blue Boss, Regina Wallace Jones said in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: response to the first question posed during the House hearing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Style from Wisconsin said in
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: his opening's remarks that there was quote significant concern that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Act Blue may have allowed foreign donations on their platform,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: lied to Congress, and withheld responsive documents from a Congressional subpoena.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: All three of those actions are illegal. The panel issue
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to subpoena compelling Wallace's Jones testimony after Act Blue lawyers
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: indicated she wouldn't answer questions on a voluntary basis. Style
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and other Republican Committee chairman looking into Act Blue have
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: claimed that Wallace Jones also misled Congress about the strength
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: of fraud safeguards on its platform. Representative Joe Morrell, the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: top Democrat on the Administration Committee, dismissed the hearing as
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a partisan exercise and accused his GEOP colleagues of refusing
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to investigate possible illegal foreign donations on their party's biggest platform.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Win read with the differences when Red does not have
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: multiple serious, credible allegations of foreign donors and particular Chinese
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: donors funneling vast amounts of cash into campaigns, and I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: want you to listen to this exchange. This is an
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: exchange with the Act Blue CEO and the House Committee.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Give a listen.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I'm the advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: the Constitution. On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: under the Constitution. I respectfully decline to answer the question
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: pursuant to the attorney client privilege and my Fifth Amendment
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: rights under the Constitution. On the advice of Council, I
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Amended rights under the Constitution. On the adviceive Council, I
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Amendment rights under the Constitution. On the advice of Council,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Fifth Amended rights under the Constitution.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Senator, that goes on for another like two minutes. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: get the point. She practiced and rehearsed and did it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: perfectly right. I'm not going to answer any questions. I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not going to do anything that can incriminate myself. I'm
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: not going to answer if in fact, there's countless dollars
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we're talking about millions and millions coming in from foreign
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: avis series that might be influencing the Democratic Party.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, the one word you said that was inaccurate. There
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: was millions. Just in twenty twenty four, Act Blue raised
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: over two billion with a B. We're talking a massive
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: amount of money coming in online, typically in smaller donations,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: but lots and lots and lots of them. And there
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: are literally three minutes of nothing but her pleading the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: fifth over and over and over again. We only played
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the first minute of that for you, but it just
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: goes on and on and on. She wouldn't answer anything.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: And here I want you to listen now to Jim Jordan.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Jim Jordan questioning her.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Give a listen.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Your board chairman said, Act Blue accepted up to thirty
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: eight million contributions in twenty twenty four that had the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: signs of foreign origin.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: How much fraud is too much fraud?
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: On the advice of count I respectfully decline to answer
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: the question, pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: How many foreign contributions did that Blue accept?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the question, pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: How much money did that Blue accept from Russia?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution?
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Why did your entire legal team quit in house legal team?
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: On the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Center wasn't just by the way at Blue that was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: having a bad week on Capitol Hill. The Southern Poverty
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Law Center, well, things weren't going well for them either,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and we should definitely talk about that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the Southern Poverty Law Center also testified in
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the House of Representatives this week, and their testimony went
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: abysmally bad. The Act Blue ceo sounded like a mafioso,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: just pleading the fifth over and over and over again.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: That's the same thing typically mafia bosses have done when
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: they've been in congressional testimony, and that apparently is what
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Democrat fundraisers do as well.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Southern Poverty Law Center didn't plead the fifth, but here's
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: how the New York Post covered it. Southern Poverty Law
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Center CEO grilled at testy hearing about DOJ charges for
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: secretly funding the KKK. The embattled Southern Poverty Law Center
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: CEO Brian Fair appeared Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: for a grilling over Justice Department allegations that the ostensibly
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: anti racism group secretly funded the extremism it claims to oppose.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Fair broadly defended the center while declining to answer for
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: specific alleged wrong too it after the DOJ in April
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: filed fraud and conspiracy charges alleging millions of dollars in
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: donor funds flowed to hate groups including the Ku Klux, Klan,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Arian Nations, and National Socialist Party of America otherwise known
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: as the Nazis. All of the allegations in the indictment
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: will be addressed in the Middle District of Alabama, Fair
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: said repeatedly through nearly four hours of testimony. So rather
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: than say I plead the fifth he just said, well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: that's going to be addressed in court. Representative Wesley Hunt,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: a Republican from Texas, and a good friend. He asked
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: were donors informed that contributions were actually funding members of
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the KKK. Fair gave the same deflection, saying that'll be
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: addressed in court, Hunt, one of four Black House Republicans,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: recounted allegations that Legacy Civil Rights Group paid a KKK
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: leader a salary and even approved an expense report for
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a crossburning Let me repeat that wow. The Southern Poverty
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Law Center, according to the US Department of Justice, paid
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: a KKK leader a salary and approved an expense report
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: for a crossburning quote. According to a superseding indictment, the
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: SPLC paid more than four point one million dollars to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: informants tied to extremist groups, including the KKK, from twenty
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: ten to twenty twenty three, Hunt said. In two cases,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: informants who were active members of the local KKK chapter
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: reportedly told the SPLC that they wanted out because they
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: feared for their safety. Instead of supporting their exit, the
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: SPLC employee allegedly encouraged them to remain involved and offered
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: them a monthly salary of one thousand, two hundred dollars
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: to do so. As a result, one informant rose into
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: a leadership role within the KKK, recruited other new members,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: purchased KKK materials, and we're even reimbursed for expenses related
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: to crossburning.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Events.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Hunt added quote, I can't make this up. This is
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: not just ironic, sir, it's quite outrageous. Fair gave a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: big picture of denial during another member's grilling, saying, quote,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: we don't fund the KKK and we don't fund hate groups,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: while deferring to the outcome of litigation on the specifics now.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen to this exchange, in particular
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: with Congressman Brandon gil when he's questioning the CEO of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the SPLC here give a listen.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Do you have an opinion on this tattoo?
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: I'm not an expert on tattoos. No, I don't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, I can give you a little bit of background.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: This is a tattoo on Maine Democrat cynic candidate Grand
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: Platner's chest. That's the Nazi SS death had death head tattoo.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: Do you have any opinions on that? If it's what
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: you say, if it's a Nazi, it is we oppose Nazis.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: We oppose and I agree we do oppose Nazis.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: Do you think if somebody got a Nazi tattoo on
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: their chest that's indicative that they might be a Nazi?
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: You'd have to ask mister Plattner, why he has that symbol.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I've likely said that if it is a symbol of Nazism,
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: we oppose Nazi.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: You don't think that that's indicative that perhaps he holds
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Nazi sentiments.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: It may well be. It may well be.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: I think do people who aren't Nazis normally get Nazi
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: tattoos on their chest? Again, I assume they don't. You
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: assume they don't. I would assume so too. I don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: know anybody who's not a Nazi. I don't know anybody
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: who has a Nazi tattoo on their chest but it's
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: not a Nazi. Do you do you think that somebody
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: who has a Nazi tattoo on their chess should serve
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: in the United States Senate.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't vote through that person. I certainly wouldn't either.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Do you think that this should disqualify him politically from
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: serving in the Senate?
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Again, I'm not sure where the line of questions it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: going the SPLC.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: If you're asking me, I'm sorry, go ahead.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: If you're asking me if the SPLC opposes Nazis and
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: Nazis symbols, the answer is yes.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: The SPLC is referred to this same tattoo as a
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: racist skinhead symbolant tattoo. You can see the resemblance there.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: You wouldn't want somebody with a tattoo like that in
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: the Senate. No, No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't either. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: appreciate your candor there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I love that. That's how hard it is to get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the Southern Poverty Law Center to denounce a guy with
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a Nazi tattoo. That you have to spoon feed it
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to them center. And then these the same people that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: were actually funding and approving expense reports for cross burning
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of people they were paying a salary to in the KKK.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: That is the part they can't pick.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Up and Nazis. To be clear, it wasn't just the Klan.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: They were also funding Nazis. But look, the head of
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the Southern Poverty Law Center is a hardcore left wing
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Democrat partisan. The SPLC is entirely in the tank for
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the Democrat Party. They hate Republicans. It is fairly striking
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that the CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center was
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: forced to say about Graham Plattner, the commi Nazi oyster
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: farmer in Maine, quote, I wouldn't vote for him and
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: to follow up, should the guy with the Nazi tattoo
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: be in the Senate?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: That tells you just how indefensible it is when even
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: their most extreme partisans are forced to say, of course not.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: If you got a freaking Nazi tattoo on you, you're
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a Nazi and we should not be electing Nazis to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the Senate. They shouldn't be hard. And yet every single
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Democrat senator except John Fetterman is unwilling to say what
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: the CEO just.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Said there, Senator, I want to move into another story
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that we highlighted here months ago. It's an important story
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: about the children that were lost by the prior administration.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: There were kids that were let into this country. They
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: were not vetted by with the adults that were with them.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: They were then given out to different people to quote
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: take care of them this country, and they disappeared. These children,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: many of them have been abused, many of them have
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: been abused sexually, many of them have been abused even
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in work conditions. And they were lost by the prior administration.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And now, luckily, many of them are being found because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of what Donald Trump and the administration are doing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: So perhaps the biggest lie about Joe Biden and the
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Democrats immigration policies is the lie that they embrace open
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: borders because of compassion. The reality is it is precisely
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: the opposite. The Democrats had zero compassion for the Americans
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: who were murdered by the violent, criminal illegal aliens they released.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: They had zero compassion for the women who were raped
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: by the violent, criminal illegal aliens they released. They had
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: zero compassion for the kids who were brutalized and sexually
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: assaulted by the violent, criminal illegal aliens they released. Another
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: aspect of this tragedy is specifically the kids. During four
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: years of Joe Biden's administration, the Biden administration lost over
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: three hundred thousand children. Verdict has covered this at length.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: This is a topic we talked about throughout the Biden years,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: but it was staggery and these are kids, often kids
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: that come across the border on accompanied. We had over
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: twelve million illegal immigrants come into this country during the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Biden years, and in many instances, you'd get a little boy,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: you'd get a little girl. They'd be in government custody,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: and what the Biden administration would do is they would
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: hand it over to adults that came to pick them up.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: But they wouldn't check to see if those adults were
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: family members, they wouldn't do DNA tests to see if
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: they're related. They'd hand them over to adults, and then
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: they simply lost them and they would end up with
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: random adults that have kids. And the Biden administration said,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: we don't know where they are, we have no contact
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: for them, and a significant number we don't know how many,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: but a significant number of those kids were put into
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: forced child labor. A significant number of those kids were
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: put into sex slavery, were sexually abused, and no one
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: in the Biden administration gave a damn. When Alejandro Majorcis,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: who ran the Department of Homeland Security, would testify before
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: the Senate, I would question about it, he was defiant. Well, thankfully,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: one of the very top priorities that Trump administration came
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: in with is we're going to find those kids. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: they've already found over one hundred and forty six thousand
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: of them. They're still looking. I want you to listen
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: to current DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen at a press
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: conference this week, give a listen.
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: We're going to enforce our nation's laws and We're going
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: to right the wrongs that the Biden administration turned a
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: blind eye to. It's because of President Trump's leadership, horrific
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: to what's happening right in our own country, because of
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: four years of a blind eye that allowed unvetted sponsors
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: to come pick up four hundred and fifty thousand kids
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: on our borders, knowing their reports why the Biden administration
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: was in office, their own reports was reporting at over
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: a third of the female's re regardless of age, was
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: sexually assaulted.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Before they made it to their border.
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: They knew it was human traffickers that were trafficking these
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: young kids to the border, and then they were unvetting
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: or or refusing to vet the so called sponsors, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: there was zero wellness checks. And they want to claim
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: that Republicans, because we're enforcement laws, it's inhumane somehow.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: What's in humane about taking.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Care of our kids.
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: As a father of six with three young girls, I
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: will do whatever I have to do. I will move
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: heaven and hell to go find these kids.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I love the commitment there, and I want
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to remind people of the vote center that have taken
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: place the Democrats. You got one hundred and forty five
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Democrats to vote against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: commit sex crimes. You have one hundred and sixty Democrats
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: vote against mandating deportation for legal aliens with duys. You
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: have one hundred and eighty six Democrats who voted against
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: mandating deportations for illegal aliens to commit welfare fraud. And
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you have one hundred and ninety Democrats who voted against
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: mandating deportation for illegal aliens who harm police animals. I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: think it's clear Democrats have literally never met an illegal alien.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: They're not willing to feed, protect, defend, and allow to them,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: take children and unvet them. There's nothing they won't do
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to have an open border policy.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, that's right. And those votes were all in
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: this past year. If you go back to during the
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Biden administration and the Senate, one hundred percent, every single
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Senate Democrat voted in favor of open borders over and
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: over and over again. We would tee up the votes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I led the fight on many of these, and the
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Democrats straight party line, would vote in favor of open borders.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: It was an and when you asked them about the
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: kids that they didn't have a response. They don't dispute
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: these figures that they just don't talk about them, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: it's look, I want you to listen to Secretary of
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Mullin talking about the kids they found so far and
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: what they're they're, what they continue looking for.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: You know, I tell people that I haven't quit smiling
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: since I have been saved to her Department full Land Security.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: But I have to take that back because when we
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: start digging into these cases and you start hearing the
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: absolute horrific things that took place underneath the Biden administration,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: under true neglect at best and criminal at worst, to
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: allow four hundred and fifty thousand kids to go missing
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: throughout this country. President Trump has made it a point
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: to go find these kids because of our partnership with
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: HHS and DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, truly using the best,
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: the best, which the Democrats sometimes want to demonize, because
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: a lot of times this is ICE, this is HSI,
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: this is CBP, these individuals that the Democrats seem to
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: want to defund. But because of President Trump, we finally
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: funded them for three years, we're able to push and
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: go find these kids. We found one hundred and forty
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: six thousand kids. So far, one hundred and forty six
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: thousand kids. We still have nearly three hundred thousand missing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: We're investigating reports to where some of these kids claim
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: that they were raped six to seven hundred times. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: don't care who you are. I have kids, If you
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: don't have kids, I don't care. If you're a liberal,
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're a Republican. If you
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids,
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: who are you? Who are you? Every leader should understand
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: what's going on? And do you know whe're finding the
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: most of them sanctuary cities because they know they're say.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: If you think about sex trafficking and child center, you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: would go to a sanctuary city. That is the safest
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: place for you to operate. You and I have talked
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: about this bluntly.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's worth explaining why. Because in a sanctuary city,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: you have Democrat elected officials, You have Democrat district attorneys
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: who won't prosecute the human traffickers, who won't prosecute the
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: sex traffickers, who have decided, as a political matter, that
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: their party, the Democrat Party, is for open borders. You
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: remember Chris Murphy when he said on TV, the very
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: liberal Democrat from Connecticut, he said, the people we care
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: about most illegal immigrants. That was his phrase, the people
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: we care about most. And by the way, that's a lie. Also,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: he doesn't care about the little girls and little boys
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: being raped and turned into sex slaves. He doesn't care
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: about them at all. What he cares about is letting
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: in as many illegal immigrants as possible, who will then
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: vote Democrat and keep the party in power. I want
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: you to listen to the Secretary ball and making this point
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: that is there were multiple reports of kids being trapped
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: in sex slavery. No Democrat gave a.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: Damn it was being reported at the time it was happening,
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: and there was no outrage, and no one tried to
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: hold these people accountable.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: And kids now have been paying for it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: They've been getting raped over and over and over again
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: because this previous administration chose not to enforce our nation's
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: laws and protect the most vulnerable.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: That is shameful.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Six is seven hundred times that. That is a number
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that I do believe should haunt everyone listening.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, look, I I want you to remember when
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Alejandro Mayarks testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and I showed him the plastic bracelets, the colored bracelets
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: that traffickers would put on every illegal they brought into
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: this country, and there were color coded for how many
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: thousands of dollars they owed them, and it was literally
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: they were treating human beings like cattle. And when when
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: you stand on the border down by the Rio Grande River,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: you see hundreds of these in the grass. And I
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: asked him what the colored wristbands were and his answer was,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I have no idea I've ever seen them before, which
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I got to made me really angry because it means
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: he hadn't bothered to go to the border at all.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: He did not care about the children being trafficked. And
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I view those colored wristbands as modern day leg irons.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: This is slavery today in America, and the Democrats were
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: responsible for it. And one of the most important things
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: that Trump administration is doing is stopping this horrific abuse
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: of kids that the Democrats allowed to have happen.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Senata, I want to get into another story
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that is getting no news at all. It's the reason
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: why we have doing this show together. We get to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: talk about issues like that the Green New Deal, which
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is the Green News scam, has been exposed yet again
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: for exactly what it is. And we've got some very
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: interesting the data and ties to different green scam deals
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that your tax dours were involved with.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Well, this week, the Department of the Interior announced that
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: they were cutting off millions of dollars that were flowing
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: to radical left wing groups that were using that money
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: to actively fight against the Trump administration to undermine the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: policies they were supposed to be implementing. And here's how
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Fox News reported it. Trump administration access ties to dozens
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: of progressive groups in quote direct opposition to miss mission
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Decisive Action. The Department of the Interior is cutting forty
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: three partnerships with outside groups it says no longer align
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: with the Trump Administration's priorities, eliminating more than four million
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: dollars in plan funding for programs tied to DEI Environmental
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Justice and Support Services for illegal Immigrants led by Secretary
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Doug Bergham. The Department determined that the agreements were operating
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: quote in direct opposition to its mission. According to a
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: press release obtained by Fox News, under Secretary Bergram, the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Department of the Interior is ending partnerships with groups that
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: no longer represent the priorities of the American people, the
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: department said. In response, DOI said it as terminating all
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: agreements with the identifying groups and removing references to them
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: from its websites. The terminated agreements supported internship programs, conservation initiatives,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: research projects, and cooperative partnerships. A department wide review launched
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: and marched uncovered nearly three thousand active agreements with about
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: two thousand outside groups, ranging from NGOs and nonprofits to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: private entities and educational institutions. The review later found multiple
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: groups quote did not appear to provide a clear benefit
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: or quote did not align with the Department's mission, according
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: to the Department, Among the groups targeted were the Hispanic
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Access Foundation, which offered scholarships for illegal immigrant Latino students,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and Latino Outdoors, which the Department said provided instructions on
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: avoiding detention by ice. Latino Outdoors has advocated against oil
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and gas development, while Hispanic Access Foundation has worked with
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the National Park Service to conduct a variety of educational
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: and cultural support activities, according to the Department. The Department
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: cited the American Alliance of Museums, which it said had
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: a contract with the National Park Services to build DEI
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: programs across national parks as a part of the agency's
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: community Engagement initiative. The Department pointed to the group's previous
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Facing Change initiative, which promoted DEI efforts at museums. Conservation
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: International and Environmental Group, the Department said, advocates a total
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: phase out of fossil fuels. The Department noted the organization's
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: statement describing fossil fuels as the quote leading culprit of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: planet warming carbon emissions and its support for environmental justice
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: and equity focused climate policies. Another group on the department's
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: list was the Cultural Landscape Foundation, which it said has
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: a master cooperative agreement with the National Park Service to
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: conduct a variety of educational and cultural support activities. The
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: organization has opposed several administration initiatives, including suing over changes
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: at the Kennedy Center, criticizing plans for the White House Ballroom,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: and highlighting cultural landscapes and historic sites it's said are
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: threatened by administration action through its Landside twenty twenty six
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Erasing American History Initiative and Look Understand. These are left
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: wing activist groups. They're entitled to have their political views.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: They're entitled to disagree with the Trump administration. That we
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: are a free country, and they have a free speech
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: right to say they think everything that the Trump administration
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: does is wrong. What they don't have is an entitlement
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: to get taxpayer dollars to do it, to pay them
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: to fight the Trump administration. This is a pattern that
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the Democrats do a lot, which is when they take
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: over government, they begin funneling millions and sometimes billions of
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: dollars to their left wing supposedly nonprofit allies, who then
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: use that money to support their agenda and by the way,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: to hire all of them and funnel the cash off
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: that It is just naked corruption. Yeah, oh the waste.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: You are making a ton of money off the money
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: being donated.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Let's be yes.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: No, no, it is a very lucrative business when when
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: you can turn on the spigot and and you know
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: have as as the EPA put it at the end
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: of the Biden administration basically throwing gold bars out the window.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: That's how bad it was. That that was the Biden
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: administration describing what they themselves were doing. But this is
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: a pattern. I got to say, Normally Republican administrations not
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: very good at unwinding this. So the Democrats dump a
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: bunch of money, and when Republicans get in, typically they
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: don't know anything about it. They don't funnel the money
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: in another direction, they don't stop it. They just are
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: are typically blissfully ignorant. I'm very glad the Trump administration
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: is going after and cutting off this cash cow.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Senat, you're talking about the cash cow, and that's obviously
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: part of it. We saw how many lefties and friends
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: of Obama, for example, got massive amounts of cash before
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: they filed for bankruptcy, with things like.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Stacy Abrams with her left wing nonprofit got two billion
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: dollars with a bee.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: With a B.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: So not only is this a cash cow, but then
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: there's a second aspect of this. I am still a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: little bit surprised that Democrats are pushing the Green New scam,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: especially with all their deadlines that the world was going
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to end. Al Gore put timelines out there that obviously
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: never happened, and yet they are still so committed to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: this doctrination, this religion. Are the Green New Deal, the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Green News scam, and they're making it clear coming in
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: these midterms, we're not backing down. When do we make
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: too much money off of it and we funnel it
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to our friends. But two, this is like our religion
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: as a party.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Look, and there's a revolving door between these supposed nonprofits,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: these NGOs and a Democrat administration and by the way,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Democrat offices on Capitol Hill, and people go back and
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: forth and back and forth, and they get paid, they
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: make money. You may remember during the Biden administration when
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: when I went to visit an attention facility on the border,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: and this was at a time when the Biden administration
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: was locking out all reporters would not let any reporters
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: see the kids in cages. And the cages this was
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: during COVID. The cages were packed and I went in.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And by the way, the ludicrous explanation that the Biden
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: administration had at the time, as they said, well, if
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: ABC's reporter of Fox News' cameraman came in, they might
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: spread COVID to the thousands of illegal immigrants housed in
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: these cages. Well, I went in with my cell phone
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and filmed it and took a picture. And if you
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: may remember, there's this young left wing woman who gets
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: in my face and begins yelling at me and saying
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to stop filming them. She was someone who had come
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: straight from a left wing open border NGO and had
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: come into the Biden administration to implement their open border policies.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: That's what happens over and over and over again, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: so cutting off their money is key to stopping this
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: constant lawfare in this constant attack.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Don't forget.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: We do this shows a podcast Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
