1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: with you on this Friday morning, It's so nice to

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: have you with us. And Senator we have got some

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: very big legislation that you've been fighting hard on. The

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: White House got on board and worked with you, and

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe it, but this is something that's actually

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: bipartisan happening in Washington, d C.

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: Well, the Take It Down Act has now passed the

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: United States Senator's past the House, and it is headed

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. This

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: is legislation that protects kids, protects women online from revenge porn,

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: from deep fakes that are targeting more and more kids.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: We're going to break all that down, explain how that

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: came to pass. We also have yet more facts about

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: the Maryland Man. The Maryland Man that the Democrats have

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: decided is their poster child. It is who they stand for.

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: It is the illegal alien MS thirteen member who now

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: we have growing evidence was also active in human trafficking.

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: We're going to break that evidence down as well. And finally,

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: dough Elon Musk is laying out yet more shocking revelations.

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: Doges uncovering. We're gonna we're gonna go through all those

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: as well.

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Now, Centri, this is something you've been working on for

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: quite some time. The President got involved with this, the

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: first Lady got involved with this, and this is bipartisan

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: in nature, which is great to factually see Congress seation

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: thing on a bipartisan level. And this is gonna protect people,

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot of young women and girls especially who have

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: been in essence blackmail by xes that wanted to put

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: out things that should never be on the Internet with

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: them in it.

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: Well, this is unfortunately a growing problem. It is a

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: massive problem, and there are two big manifestations of it.

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: Number one are real images, non consential intimate images where

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: say you have a boyfriend and girlfriend and they take

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: explicit pictures of each other, that take explicit videos of

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: each other, and then they have an ugly breakup and

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: one or the other is pissed off and they say,

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna stick it to you. I'm gonna

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: put these pictures, I'm gonna put these videos out online

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: and the whole world is going to see you. And

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I got to say that is wrong. It is a

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: grotesque violation of your rights of your privacy, and it's

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: a problem we're seeing growing more and more. There's a

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: new iteration of it that is a product of technology,

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: which is now with artificial intelligence, you can create deep fakes,

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: where you can create images or videos of real people

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: that appear to be real and they're entirely fake. And

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: we are seeing the prevalence of deep fake non consensual

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: intimate images. It has grown three thousand percent last year.

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Over ninety percent of the victims are either women or

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: teenage girls. And I'll tell you how this issue first

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: came to my attention. It came from a Texas girl

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: who was targeted by this, a girl named Elliston Barry

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: who last year she's fifteen. Now, last year she was fourteen.

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: She was in ninth grade, and she woke up one

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: Monday morning and her phone started blowing up and all

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: of her friends let her know that a classmate of hers,

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: a boy in her class, had taken what was a

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: perfectly innocent picture of her on social media and used

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: an AI app online to create deep fakes, and he

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: created what appeared to be naked pictures of her. Now

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: they weren't, but you couldn't tell from looking at him,

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: and then he sent them to every one of her classmates.

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: So this poor girl, Look, it's hard to be a teenager.

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: It's hard to be a teenage girl. But if you

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: could imagine the nightmare of every one of your classmates

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: thinking they're looking at naked pictures of you. She woke up,

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: she was in tears. It was horrifying, and what happened.

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: She's a Texan, So she and her mother, Anna called

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: my office and complained to me. They said, look, can

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: you help us. You're our senator, can you help us?

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: And I got to say my team did a great

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: job that they elevated it to me and put this

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: in front of me and said, look is in this horrible?

76
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: What happened to this girl? And we actually drafted legislation

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: to address this problem because as we looked at it,

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 2: it was becoming more and more common. And the Take

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: It Down Act that I wrote it does two things.

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: Number one, it makes it a crime, a federal felony

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: to post non consensual intimate images, either real images or

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: deep fakes that made through AI.

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: Clear that's where this has real teeth. You just said

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: it is a felony.

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Yes, a felony with jail time. And a number of states,

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: including Texas, have criminalized revenge porn, but a lot of

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: those states they don't address deep fakes because deep fakes

88
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: are new, and so it's a hole in the law.

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: So part of what Elliston discovered in Texas is there

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: was nothing she could do about it. This kid could

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: send out these pictures and there was no consequence at all.

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: So number one, it makes it a crime, But number two,

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: there is a persistent problem that the tech platfor won't

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: take this garbage down. And in fact, when I introduced

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: the legislation, Ellison or mom came to DC. I sat

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: down with him in my office and when they sat

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: down with me, I asked them. I said, okay, what

98
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: happened to the pictures? And this was nine months after

99
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: the incident had happened, and they expressed enormous frustration. They

100
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: said Snapchat would not take them down. Elliston's mom had

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: called them and emailed them and repeatedly tried to get

102
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: them taken down. Nothing complete. Heisman stiff arm I got

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: to tell you, Ben. I turned to my team and

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: I said, I want you to get the CEO of

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: Snapchat on the phone today. I want those pictures down

106
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: today within two hours, ben they pulled them down. Now

107
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: you know what, It should not take a sitting US

108
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: senator making a phone call to get pictures like that

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: taken down. And so what we did we rode into

110
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: the law a legal obligation on the tech platforms part

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: that once the victim notifies them that they have to

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: take the pictures of the videos down immediately. I did

113
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: this legislation with Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat in the Senate.

114
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: We passed it through the Senate one hundred to nothing.

115
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: We did it in the last Congress, but unfortunately the

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: House didn't get it passed. So this Congress we passed

117
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: it again. And then one thing that was really terrific,

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: the First Lady Milania Trump, got actively involved. She came

119
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: to Capitol Hill, she pushed for the bill. She sat

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: down at a roundtable with Elliston with other victims of

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: this growing problem, and the First Lady leaned in and said,

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 2: to the House, take this up and get it done.

123
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: And this past week the House did. They passed it,

124
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: passed it overwhelmingly, and so now it is headed to

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: the president's President Trump talked about this bill in the

126
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: State of the Union. He told the House, get it done.

127
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: I want to sign it. It's now going to be

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: signed in the law, and it's going to protect women,

129
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: teenage girls, teenage boys all across the country from this

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: kind of victimization.

131
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: And this is where everyone should be proud because not

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: only as you mentioned, mandatory takedown, you got a forty

133
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: eight hours of notification by the victim or their representatives,

134
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: but the penalty violators face up to two years in

135
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: prison for offenses involving adults, up to three years if

136
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: a victim is a minor, and this is going to

137
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: send a very queer message you cannot do this anymore.

138
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: And if you do, you're.

139
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: A real consequences. Yeah, and there are real consequences, and

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you the take it down aspect. What

141
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: we did is we borrowed from another piece of legislation

142
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: that's already federal law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

143
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: So if you tweet out, let's say, a song from

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: the Lion King, it'll get pulled down within hours because

145
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: you can't tweet out copyrighted material. So we use that

146
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: same mechanism to notice and takedown mechanism, and we applied

147
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: it to these non consensual intimate images. So every tech

148
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: platform has an office that knows how to respond to this.

149
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: This protects every victim, and I'll tell you at our roundtable,

150
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: one of the victims was a South Carolina state legislator.

151
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: His son was targeted and it was a sextortion scam

152
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: and they threatened to release the pictures, and I got

153
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: to say, his son took his own life. Sometimes the

154
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: consequences are incredibly tragic, and so this bill protects every

155
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: potential victim.

156
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Center We've got some breaking news, and I hope everyone

157
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: listening is taking notes on what we're about to tell

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: you and what you're gonna hear. This is yet again

159
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: another bombshell blowing up in the face of Democrats who

160
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: tried to turn a terrorist, an MS thirteen gang member

161
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: into just a Maryland man, a Maryland father, and they're

162
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,239
Speaker 1: demanding a come back to America. They've flown down, using taxpayers'

163
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: money to head down to meet with him since he's

164
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: been deported, and they're demanding he come back. Now we

165
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: have audio that's saying who he really is.

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: Well, the Democrats made a really astonishing choice to go

167
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: all in in support of letting more illegal immigrants into

168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: this country back into this country, and in particular defending

169
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: MS thirteen gang members and wife beaters, people who commit

170
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: domestic violence. It really is an astonishing decision that the Democrats. Obviously,

171
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: you have Chris van Holland, the Senator from Maryland who

172
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: flew down to El Salvador and basically played foot see

173
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: with this guy. You have House Democrats going down there.

174
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: You have Corey Booker doing a sit in on the

175
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: steps of the Capitol, all in defense of what they

176
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: say is this poorly targeted, poor defenseless Maryland Man. Well,

177
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: facts are stubborn things. I want you to listen to

178
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: this audio. This is the quote Maryland Man's wife testifying

179
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty in court being a protective order, and

180
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: listen to what she says about this this individual who

181
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: the Democrats are now trying to turn into mother Teresa.

182
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: Give a listen.

183
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: I came to fill out a protective order. I think

184
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: it was in December, but I didn't show up to

185
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: the court because his family like washed my brain, telling

186
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: me that his dad was sick and not to do it.

187
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: So it's still I didn't do anything. But after that

188
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: it was like I would call the police. I have

189
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: a lot of police reports. And I kept trying to

190
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: get to the door basement to try to open the door,

191
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: and then like he pushed me. So then when I

192
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: was able to go outside to get a phone, I

193
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: called out one from a disconnected phone. Now, they took

194
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 3: a long time to get to the house. It was

195
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: probably like twenty thirty minutes. So I saw a neighbor

196
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: walking his dog and I opened the door and I

197
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: was like help. And then when he heard me, like

198
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: he grabbed me from my hair and then he slapped me.

199
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: And then the neighbor he didn't know what to do,

200
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: he didn't know what to react. I have pictures of

201
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: their evidence, like all the bruises. Because even on Wednesday

202
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: he hit me like around like three in the morning.

203
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: He would just wake up and like hit me. And

204
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: then last Saturday, for my daughter's birthday party, before I

205
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: went to my daughter's birthday party, he slammed me three times.

206
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: And then last week I did call the police. My

207
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: sister called the police because he hit me in front

208
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: of my sister.

209
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: I listen to that senator and it makes me angry.

210
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: It makes me so sad for not only her but

211
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: also for the kids involved, because if you've ever known

212
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: someone that's gone through abuse like this, you never forget

213
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: what their stories sound like. And the part there that

214
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: she said, I quote have a lot of police reports.

215
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this was a repeated problem. According to his

216
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: wife's testimony in court, he repeatedly engaged in violence. He

217
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: punched her, he slapped her, He did so in front

218
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: of their kids, he did so in front of her sister.

219
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: That's what her testimony was. And understand, this is who

220
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,359
Speaker 2: the Democrats are elevating and saying it is a travesty

221
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: of justice that this violent wife beater is no longer

222
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: in this country now, mind you, despite his beating up

223
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: his wife, despite his being illegally in this country, despite

224
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: his being allegedly and two courts concluded an MS thirteen

225
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: gang member, the Democrats are all in and defending him.

226
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: And there's another piece of audio I want you to

227
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: listen to. And this is a piece of audio from

228
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, so just a couple of years ago,

229
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: and there was a traffic stop and he was stopped

230
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: driving a vehicle with eight people in the back end.

231
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: And I want you to listen to the police officers

232
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: in the traffic stop and what their assessment was, what

233
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: was going on. Give a listen to this.

234
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna hear some road noise of cars passing by,

235
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: just so you know what that is, and you will

236
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: hear this these police officers on body camera. Listen carefully.

237
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: You got right, you know what you got here?

238
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: Right.

239
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: He's hauling these people for money, is what he's doing.

240
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: But sometimes they coil mingled opener, but.

241
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: Scruggling. There's eight people in the know, that's what an

242
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: extra seats. Yeah, yeah, so he's getting.

243
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Paid all these people, probably to Maryland, I would say

244
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: about my guess, well, matches up with the Maryland dad thing. Right,

245
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: the Maryland man. They're like, oh, by the way, this

246
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: car has been retrofitted to add an entire another row

247
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: of seats. They've never seen a car this model with

248
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: this many seats in it. There's another example of the

249
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: human smuggling.

250
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: Look, look, this is Maryland man. He's hauling them to Maryland.

251
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: The police officer's immediate reaction, you know what this guy

252
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: is doing. He's hauling these people for money. Eight people.

253
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: They added an extra row of seats, so you've got

254
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: an illegal alien wife beater, who's an MS thirteen gang

255
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: member and who is actively engaged in human trafficking. This

256
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: is the poster child for the Democrats. This is who

257
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: they've decided to go all in on, saying, we want

258
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: this person back in America and we want more people

259
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: like him. And I got to say, we've also seen

260
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: a fairly amazing thing with the Democrats in the media

261
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: going crazy about an interview that President Trump did in

262
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: the Oval office with ABC News, and in particular, President

263
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: Trump asserted that he had MS thirteen tattooed on his knuckles,

264
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: and the media has been having a field day saying, no, no, no,

265
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: that's a lie, it's photoshopped. It's not true. So you

266
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: can go and look at the pictures, go look online

267
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: what he has tattooed on his knuckles. He's got tattoos

268
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: on each of the four knuckles of his fingers he has.

269
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: The first tattoo is a marijuana leaf. Now marijuana leaf

270
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: stands for m second tattoo is of a smiley face.

271
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: The smiley face stands for s. The third tattoo on

272
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: his middle finger is of a cross, and the cross

273
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: the up and down stands for one and the fourth

274
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: tattoo on his index finger is of a skull, which

275
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: is the same shape as the number three. Now what

276
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: he actually has is those four tattoos, and what the

277
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: White House tweeted out was a picture of those four tattoos,

278
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: and then it rode above them. Above the marijuana leaf,

279
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: it wrote an M because that's what the marijuana leaf

280
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: stands for. Above the smiley face, it wrote an S

281
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: because that's what the smiley face stands for. Above the cross,

282
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: it wrote a one because that's what the cross stands for.

283
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: And above the skull, it wrote a three because that's

284
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: what the skull stands for. So the four symbols are

285
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: of MS thirteen. Now the Democrats and the corporate media

286
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: are clutching their pearls, going, no, it didn't actually have

287
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: the MS thirteen. That was a photoshop. Well, yes, but

288
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: what it did have is clearly symbolizing MS thirteen, And

289
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: they don't want people to know that, because it is

290
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: fairly amazing that a Keen Jeffries, the Democrat Leader in

291
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: the House, Chuck Schumer, Chris van holland the Democrats in

292
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: both the Senate and House have decided MS thirteen gang members.

293
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: That's who we defend. That's who we're backing up.

294
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: You also look at this individual and the new DEA

295
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: nominee said that this guy's tattoos consists with MS thirteen membership,

296
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: again blowing the narrative out of the water from the

297
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: left that these tattoos are meaningless, they have nothing to

298
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: do with MS thirteen. The guy who does this for

299
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: a living is like, yes, we see this all the time. Yes,

300
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: this is what it looks like when you have these

301
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: tattoos on your knuckle. Yes, this is what these gang

302
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: members do. And then you go back to what we're

303
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: now finding out in this record and the traffic stop here,

304
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: and also from new reporting from basically in essence a

305
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: whistleblower that is saying that not only was this guy

306
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: attacking his wife and running human trafficking, but we also

307
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: know from these court filings that have come out that

308
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: his wife has said that she was afraid because he

309
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: said he was going to kill her. So this is

310
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: a guy that is threatening to kill his wife based

311
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: on what we're seeing from the court documents, and he's

312
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: an individual that is out there that should never have

313
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: been in this country and he should be gone. And

314
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: so when you look at this. I truly am amazed

315
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: that the Democratic Party is saying, we don't care about

316
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: American citizens. We don't come to your aid, we don't

317
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: come to your comfort when these people commit crimes against you. No, no,

318
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: we want to go find the ones that have been deported

319
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: and bring him back to America. How in the hell

320
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: do do they think the American people are going to

321
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: stay with him on this issue, Senator.

322
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's where they are. And I got to

323
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: say this week, I got in a Twitter battle with

324
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: the Keem Jeffries, the head of the Democrats in the House.

325
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: I tweeted out, I said, Akim, allowing your members to

326
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: fly to Al Salvador on the taxpayer's dime to play

327
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: footsie with violent gang members was obviously astonishingly bad politics.

328
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Please keep it up. And I got to say, a

329
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 2: Kiem Jeffries, he got really angry and he's like, and

330
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: he tweeted back, this is from someone who abandoned his

331
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: state during the historic winter storm to vacation in kang Kun.

332
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: No one takes you seriously at this point. And that's

333
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Leader Jeffries to you, Edward. Well, sorry, Hakeem, Leader Jeffries

334
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: is not what I call you. But it's okay. I

335
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: just tweeted back at him, It's okay, Hakeem, I'm very sorry.

336
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: I beat your friend's ass. And I sent out a

337
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: picture because Colin all read the Democrat ran against me

338
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: last time was buddies with Keem Jeffries, and he lost

339
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 2: by nine points in a million votes. And look, it

340
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: showed who the Democrats are right now. They support illegal

341
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: immigrants and wife beaters and gang members.

342
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Center. I want to talk about what we just found

343
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: out with DOGE, and I think it's an important point

344
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: to reset because we saw a lot of oppress about

345
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: DOAGE early on. We've now moved on to other topics,

346
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: or I say the media has moved on to other topics.

347
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: It does not mean that Elon Musk and the DOGE

348
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: staff have stopped doing their job. In fact, they are

349
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: still finding incredible amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse, and

350
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: they sat down with Jesse Waters at Fox to kind

351
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: of give an update of like, hey, here we are.

352
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: It was also a very cool interview because what we're

353
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: witnessing is Elon Musk showing these do gooders that he

354
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: has brought in they can be making a lot more

355
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: money in the private sector. There are a lot of young,

356
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: brilliant minds that are finding all of this information and

357
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: digging and digging in our government, and he's letting them

358
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: tell the stories of what they're finding. I love this

359
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: management style from him.

360
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 2: Well, I got to say, every week they are new

361
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 2: bombshells that are coming out from DOGE of just astonishing waste,

362
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: fraud and abuse. And so this latest interview that the

363
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: Elon did with Jesse Waters, he laid out, for example,

364
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: that the Institute of Peace had a one hundred and

365
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban. Now,

366
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 2: now just let that sink in for a minute. One

367
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty grand to a former member of the Taliban,

368
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 2: and that is from the quote Institute a Peace. Nothing

369
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: like paying a terrorist if you're the Institute of Peace.

370
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, that same institute a piece deleted

371
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: one terabyte of accounting records when DOGE entered their headquarters,

372
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: so they came in. I got to tell you, if

373
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: you're prosecuting criminal conduct at a court of law and

374
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: a defendant destroys evidence, deletes data on their computer, burns papers,

375
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: burns receipts, burns photographs that can be taken as evidence

376
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: of guilt, the fact that you are deleting evidence. But

377
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: here give a listen to the description of what they

378
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: found about from the Institute a piece.

379
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was by far the least peaceful agency

380
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: that we've worked with. Ironically, of course, Additionally, we found

381
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: that they were spending money on things like private jets,

382
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: and they even had a one hundred and thirty thousand

383
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban.

384
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: This is this isreal.

385
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: We don't encounter that in those agencies.

386
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 5: What was the money going to the Taliban for?

387
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 4: So it was a contractor. They received one hundred and

388
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 4: thirty thousand dollars for generic services. And to Elon's point,

389
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: there was not actually a clear description of what the

390
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: contractor services were for. But was it for opium unclear?

391
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: Or weapons?

392
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

393
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: Or not for a broad oh yeah, And you.

394
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: Naturally have to ask the question how did we get here?

395
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: Like when the country was founded, there were only four agencies.

396
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: Today there are over four hundred, so there's been a

397
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 4: one hundred x increase in the number of agencies since

398
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: the founding of the nation. And thanks to President Trump,

399
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 4: He's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce

400
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 4: the number of agencies in the government, and the Institute

401
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: Apiece was one of them, which is why our team

402
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: went into try and understand what was going on. And

403
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: that's when we found all the craziness, like the weapons

404
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: and their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban.

405
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, that.

406
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: The evidence, right. So just a few hours after we

407
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant

408
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from

409
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 4: several leaders. So you'd have to ask the question, well,

410
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: why would somebody do that if the Doch team fortunately

411
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 4: was able to recover that data with the help of

412
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: a few great employees at the Institute a Peace And

413
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: I think the most troubling thing was they received fifty

414
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 4: five million dollars a year from Congress, and any money

415
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they

416
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: would sweep it into a private bank account which had

417
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: no Congressional oversight, and that's what they would use to

418
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 4: find things like events at their headquarters and the private jets.

419
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: And so I think it's a great example because most

420
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of

421
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: these smaller agencies. And this is a i think the

422
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that

423
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: we're finding.

424
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: So the agencies are hiding money from you, they're sending

425
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department.

426
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: Buildings at the Institute of Peace.

427
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 5: At the Institute of Peace, that's right. So this is

428
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 5: a cover up. When you guys roll in this one

429
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: cover up, they delete a vast amount of financial information.

430
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: That's really a definition of a cover up. Isn't that

431
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 5: illegal to delete evidence? Yes, shred documents.

432
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: It's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that that Congress

433
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 4: would certainly want to know where the congressionally appropriated funds

434
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: are going from taxpayers when you.

435
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 5: Catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you

436
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: refer this to the Department of Justice?

437
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 4: In this case, we did refer the evidence in the

438
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: accounting example to the FBI and DJ We're proud to

439
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: do that. So yes we did, because.

440
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: This and says show I mean, let's just go back

441
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: to what you said center a moment ago and dive

442
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: into this a little bit more. If this is that

443
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: type of activity in this type of cover up and

444
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: referring this to the DJ What would the next step

445
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: be on that? And then also what can Congress do

446
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: if anything, knowing now what they've just told you.

447
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 2: Look, I got to say almost every word of that

448
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: is shocking. That they gave one hundred and thirty grand

449
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: to Afre, a member of the Taliban. That's astonishing. That

450
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: they spent taxpayer money on private jets. That's astonishing that

451
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: the Institute of Peace had an armory with a whole

452
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: bunch of weapons. Now let me repeat that the Institute

453
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: of Peace apparently felt the need to be packing. And

454
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: when does showed up, they started to leading their accounting records,

455
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: which screams guilt. By the way, when when President Trump

456
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: did the interview with ABC News in the Oval, one

457
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: of the things ABC News says is, well, there have

458
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 2: been no referrals to the Apartment of Justice, and President

459
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: Trump quite rightly says, how do you know that? Well,

460
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: this is one. It turns out there have been multiple

461
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: referrals to the Apartment of Justice for fraud. It's just

462
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: ABC News doesn't want people to know that. Here, I

463
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: want you to listen to another clip. This is another

464
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: clip where the Department of Education had a four billion

465
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 2: dollar COVID fund that let government employees draw down. They

466
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: used it for things like parties and to rent out

467
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: venues like Caesar's Palace. Give a listen.

468
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was a four billion dollar COVID fund in

469
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: the Department of Education and there was no receipts required,

470
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 6: so people be just drawed down on it. And when

471
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 6: people looked into it, this wasn't just this was before us.

472
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: They found that money was being used to rent out

473
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 6: Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. And

474
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 6: so the one change that DOGE made with our education

475
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 6: is we had the simple requirement that if you draw

476
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 6: down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was

477
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 6: the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt.

478
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 6: And upon doing so, Yes, nobody drew down any money anymore.

479
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: Yes, but we didn't say that we'd check the receipt.

480
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 6: You could send a fake receipt, you could send a

481
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 6: picture of your.

482
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: Dog, anything, anything, anything.

483
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 5: But as soon as we asked for anything at all,

484
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: that something, the requests.

485
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: Were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting.

486
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 5: They were renting Caesar's Palace.

487
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 6: Yes, they were like basically partying on the tax payer money.

488
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: Basically partying on the taxpayer's money. Okay, it sounds criminal.

489
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 2: Let me just ask, like, like the man on the street,

490
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: did you think the Department of Education was spending your money,

491
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: your tax payer money to rent out Caesar's palace. That

492
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: is the very definition of waste, fraud and abuse. Four

493
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: billion dollars in a COVID slush fund with zero receipts required.

494
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: Let me just say thank god for President Trump and

495
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and Doge uncovering this revealing it because it

496
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: is completely indefensible. And by the way, the Democrats, just

497
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: like they've decided they're all in for illegal immigrants and

498
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: gang members and violent criminals and white theaters, they're also

499
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: all in for this kind of waste, fraud and abuse,

500
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: including running out Caesar's Palace with your tax payer money.

501
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: It's truly an incredible story, and this is where we
