Yes, 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: in fact, there are illegal immigrants that are being that 65 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: are undercutting the wages. Yes, they are legal immigrants that 66 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: are being held in essence hostage like human slaves by 67 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: these families. 68 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: Who are employing them. 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: But the people at the top are still making seventy 70 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: million dollars off of the illegal immigrants. And as they're 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: getting rich off of llegal immigrant labor, they're undercutting the 72 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: American workforce, and they're undercutting competitors and small business owners 73 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: and mom and pop shops and destroying the American way 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: of life because the people working for them aren't getting rich. 75 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: The living conditions are to being described as inhumane.

I got to know. 178 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: Even in the local news reports that we're playing for you, 179 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: you notice how the news media is not standing up 180 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: for American workers. They're wanting you to feel sorry for 181 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 2: the illegal immigrant workers who are losing their jobs. They 182 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: want you to feel sorry for people that have stolen 183 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: jobs for American citizens and putting many small businesses out 184 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: of work. 185 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: And this is exactly why I bring it up here. 186 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: If we don't expose this and talk about it, who's 187 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: going to do it. I want to talk to you 188 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: about my friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals. 189 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 7: Now. 190 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing on 191 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: it is amazing and the upside well, it's real. I 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It is 193 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces. 194 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: But I also know that I bought it at the 195 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: right price and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote. 196 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: Rare are special coins, and then when you go to 197 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: sell them, you take away all of your earning potential. 198 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: Why do they do it this way at Kurt Elliott 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: Because they have transparent pricing up front. It's very simple. 200 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: You pay eight percent when you buy, and here's what 201 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: matters to you the most, nothing when you sell. There 202 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: are no hidden fees ever. With Kurt Elliott Precious Metals. 203 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: This is the reason why I recommend them.

It's something we've been 225 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: talking about months and months ago on this show, and 226 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: that was advocating and supporting designating the Muslim Brotherhood is 227 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: a terrorist organization. We now have good news to report 228 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: because of many of you that listened to the show, 229 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: got involved and really started advocating for this, not only 230 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: on social media, but also by calling the White House 231 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: and your centers and your congressman. 232 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: We now know that Donald Trump. 233 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: Is signaling a plan to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as 234 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: a terrorist organization. Trump said over the weekend he is 235 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: drawing up final documents targeting the Islamic organization. 236 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: That is a big move for I. 237 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: Believe national security, but also to hold radicals like the 238 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood accountable for their actions. I want you to 239 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: take a listen to how they described it on Fox So. 240 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 8: A new report detailing one Islamic groups decades long reach 241 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 8: into the US. The report claims the Muslim Brotherhood shares 242 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 8: ideological goals with Muslim extremist organizations. It aims to influence 243 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 8: and infiltrate US government, educational systems. 244 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: Civil rights groups. 245 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 8: Doctor Kanta Akhmed is a senior fellow at the Independent 246 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 8: Women's Forum and a member of the Council of Foreign 247 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 8: Relations and joined US now knows I would say as 248 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 8: much about the Middle East as anyone in America today. 249 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: Doctor your thoughts about the. 250 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 8: Role of the Muslim Brotherhood and what they're up to here. 251 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: Well, this is something we've been recommending. Over ten years ago. 252 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 5: I wrote an article to say that the Muslim Brotherhood 253 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 5: should be designated a foreign terror organization. This report by 254 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 5: the Institute Studying Global Antisemitism and Policy shows the Muslim 255 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 5: Brotherhood is influencing at the executive branch. It's influencing policy makers. 256 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 5: It's reframing the argument post nine to eleven. There was Islamophobia, 257 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 5: then came oycott, divestment, sanctions demonizing Israel. And now we've 258 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 5: just seen the pro Hamas protests. That is all part 259 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 5: of their multi generational project to have a war against 260 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 5: the secular and undermine our democracy using our democratic freedoms. 261 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 8: And one way that the protest on college campuses. And 262 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 8: we see what's happening with our our educational institutions care 263 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 8: it's an acronym. 264 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: Whould we know about. 265 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 5: That organization Council and American Islamic relations. This is part 266 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 5: of the other organizations. Senator tent Cruise than Governor Abbott 267 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 5: in Texas are designating as criminal transnational networks. It portrays 268 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: itself to be advocating for Muslims like me, but actually 269 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 5: it's advancing an Islamist project. What CARE did in California 270 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 5: that's under investigation. They took money purportedly for Afghan refugees, 271 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 5: helped less than two hundred, took half of that seven 272 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: million dollars and put it back in their own organization. 273 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 5: They're disclosing only small fractions of their lobbying, which they're 274 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: then using to finance and support radicals on campus. So 275 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 5: they are subverting our academic institutions in line with their islamistites. 276 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: So now that we recognize it. 277 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 8: In fact, the governor Abbot put this out yesterday and 278 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 8: here's a little of his missive. The Muslim Brotherhood and 279 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 8: CARE have long made their goals clear to forcibly impose 280 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 8: Sharia law and establish Islam's mastership. 281 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: Of the world. 282 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 8: We hear that it's in parts of Michigan and also 283 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 8: parts of Texas. Are they taking over small towns and 284 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 8: putting these laws into effect? 285 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: So why would by the way, listen to this question 286 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: that was just asked there by Brian. Brian is asking expert, 287 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: because we've heard about this that there is actual sharia 288 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: law courts that are superseding in these small communities the 289 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: actual law and justice, law and order system of the 290 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: United States. They're just saying, we're setting up our own 291 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: in essence many Muslim countries, and we will police our 292 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: owns with our own Sharia law courts. I want you 293 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: to hear what she says in response to that, so 294 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: you understand what's actually happening in America. 295 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 5: Say the mission is to advance Islamism. They're doing that 296 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 5: in many ways, but we're not the only nation that's 297 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 5: seeing this. France published an incendiary report on the Muslim brotherhood. 298 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 5: They're using hundreds of nonprofits, charities, student groups, professional societies, 299 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: undermining local government, putting in politicians that are sympathetic to 300 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 5: their views or openly acolytes, and modifying and changing on democracy. 301 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 5: That's happening here in the United States too. And Wildcare 302 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 5: was being investigated in California. It's still receiving federal funds. 303 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 8: Which is crazy. And by the way, here's their response. 304 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 8: Got to be fair. They say this does care. Greg 305 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 8: Abbott's disregard for the First Amendment, his obsession with Texas Muslims, 306 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 8: his dedication to protecting the Israeli government from criticism apparently 307 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 8: knows no bounds care Texas plans to continue vigorously to 308 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 8: defend the Texas Muslim community from this governor's increasingly desperate 309 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 8: derange attempts to shred the First Amendment. 310 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: So that's their response. 311 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 8: But I'm tired of hearing about I have three pages 312 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 8: of investigations. 313 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: We don't do anything we investigate. Why are they still 314 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: getting money? 315 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 8: Why are we pretending that this is an organization that 316 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 8: seeks good, that has good intentions. 317 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 5: So Senator Ted Cruise's efforts should be hugely commended and 318 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 5: they are a blueprint for other states. Once these organizations 319 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 5: are designated as potential ftos or criminal networks, nances can 320 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 5: be opened. If they sue in retaliation, that will result 321 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 5: in discovery and you'll be able to see what's going on. 322 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 5: So this is the first step. The second is that 323 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 5: response you just read is typical. They're claiming religious advocacy, 324 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 5: exploiting religious freedom and anti discrimination laws while they subvert 325 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 5: our democratic process. It's time to elevate reasoned, credible Muslim 326 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 5: voices and learn from Saudi Arabia, the Egypt, United Arab Emirates, France, 327 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 5: that those Arab countries have designated this group as a 328 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 5: terror group. Austria has done so, and we are about 329 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 5: to see a lot of Western Europe do the same. 330 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 2: This is why this moment is so important.

It wasn't it 509 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: never will be. It was sedition at the highest level, 510 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: and sedition is a major crime.

I upheld that oath through flight school, 531 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: multiple deployments on the USS Midway, thirty nine combat missions, 532 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: and Operation Desert Storm test pilot school, four Space Shuttle 533 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: flights at NASA, and every day since I retired, which 534 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: I did after my wife, Gabby was shot in the 535 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: head while serving her constituents. He said, in combat, I 536 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: had to miss a bow up next to my jet 537 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: and flew through anti aircraft fire to drop bombs on 538 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: enemy targets and NASA.

I did all of this in service 542 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: to this country that I love and have given me 543 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: so much. Secretary Head says, tweet is the first I 544 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: heard of this. I also saw the President's post saying 545 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 2: I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If 546 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: this is meant to intimidate me and other members of 547 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: Congress from doing our jobs and holding the administration accountable, 548 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 2: it won't work.

And if you think Democrats aren't organizing 551 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: to stand behind Kelly and others, look no further than 552 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: Senator Reuben Diego, Democrat from Arizona.
