Speaker 2: American Border Story. Last night, we honored the law men

Speaker 2: and women on the front lines of keeping America safe

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: during the Biden era border crisis, and those who have

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: closed the border down in record time under President Donald Trump.

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: We honored folks like borders are Tom Homan, border patrol

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: agents like Art del Cuato, and local sheriffs like Kierandon Donahum. Tonight,

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: We're going to pivot and honor the families who paid

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice during the crisis. We want you to

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: hear their stories firsthand. We want you to remember their names,

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: and we want to make sure America never forgets the

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: horrors they endured and the resilience and resolved they showed

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: to turn tragedy into progress right here in this country.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: We also will make sure tonight that America never forgets

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: this failed era of security and is never tempted to

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: have it repeat it. To make that possible, The American

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: Border Story is unveiling three extraordinary scholarships to honor three

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: remarkable women who left this earth far too early. We'll

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: get to that in just a bit, but first let

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: me turn to my amazing co host, Amanda has Always

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: Heard This Time the show. Amanda, it was an amazing

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 2: night last night. There were moments where I just wanted

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: to well up with tears. You were sitting out there

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: with all the Angel families. They're back here again tonight.

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Thoughts about what you heard you saw the witness last night.

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's always important, and you and I

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: talk about this a lot on our TV show. We

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: talk about the facts and the figures and the data

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: that pertains to this crisis, but the human side is

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: just as much, if not more important. Hearing the stories,

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: hearing the impact that losing this loved one had on

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: their family, had on their community. You know, many of

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: these were border patrol agents, people who were part of

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: law enforcement, so that of course devastated the community. And

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I think it's so important because oftentimes we get stuck

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: in the push and the pull and the yin and

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: the Yang and the red and the blue between what

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: is happening at our border and at the center is

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: the people who are getting torn apart, the families that

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: are getting torn apart because they lost a loved one.

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 4: It's heartbreaking, and it's heartbreaking.

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: Those same family showed resilience that I could not even imagine.

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd have the courage to do what

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: they did during this time. When I was a younger reporter.

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: On nine to eleven, I was on the Memorial Bridge

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: the moment the plane hit the Pentagon, I saw the

51
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: fire will go up. One of my friends, good friends,

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: was on that plane, and we said after that, we

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: will never forget that. We will always remember and honor

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: the sacrifices of the victims. And I say to everyone

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: in the audience tonight, we need to make the same

56
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: commitment to the victims, to the heroes of the border crisis.

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: We may never allow their names to be forgotten, their

58
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: stories to be untold, the horrors to be repeated in

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: this country. And I think tonight that's what we are

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: going to be talking about all night long. It is

61
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: an extraordinary opportunity and I just feel so lucky. I

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: want to thank the American Border Story for making this

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: extraordinary two day event. I think real America's voice for

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: making the time for it, and we're going to have

65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: some real conversations here. We're going to start tonight with

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: a really important moment, and that is to talk to

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: people who lived the horror, who went through unspeakable tragedy,

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: had every right to close up and go away and

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: hide in their homes, but instead got out front and

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: told us all we can do better than this, and

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: they willed America to what has happened in the last

72
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: few months. And I think that there is no more

73
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: extraordinary group of people than every day Americans who rise

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: to the call and face the tragedy and make amazing

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: things happen. And we're joined all throughout the night for

76
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: those sort of American heroes, that's what they are. We

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: are going to in a little bit unveil the first

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: ever Lake and Riley Johnson and Rachel Moore and scholarships

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: that's going to come in a little bit. But the

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: American Border Story wants to make certain that future generations

81
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: of Americans know them too, and never forget their loss

82
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: or the folly of the last four years. We're going

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: to veil those scholarships as part of the American Border

84

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: for that. I'm really excited. But first we're going to

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Remind us tell us of her story. It

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: was a little longer ago, but it's just as.

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: Powerful it was.

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: She was killed the night of her college graduation. It

111
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 5: was January thirtieth when she graduated twenty sixteen from college.

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: She was out celebrating on her way home. She was

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 5: stopped at a stoplight at thirty thirty in l Over

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: in Omaha, Nebraska, where she was rear ended by as

115
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: Well and Mihia, going seventy plus miles an hour with

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: a blood alcohol of point two four to one, and

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: he caused her instant brain death, right.

118
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: In the prime of her life, so much future and

119
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: brightness ahead of her.

120
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: How long did it take to get justice?

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 5: Well, we're still fighting for it, but he was captured

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: just on February twenty seventh of this year. Thank you,

123
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: President Trump and your administration and everybody that's worked so

124
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: hard to get these criminals back here into the United

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 5: States to serve justice. I want justice for every one

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: of us, and we are just so grateful and thankful

127
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 5: that the administration still continued to fight to bring him back.

128
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: Michelle, I know that capturing the killer was a huge

129
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: part of the every process for you, not that you

130
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: will ever fully recover, But what else do you want

131
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: to see that President Trump and Congress can do, Laws

132
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: that they can pass, executive orders President Trump can sign

133
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: that will make you feel like like things are really

134
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: really moving in a better direction. As far as the border.

135
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: Honestly, I already feel like that's being done. I can't

136
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: think of anything other than what they have already put

137
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: in place. You know, we keep saying we need new laws. No,

138
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 5: we just need to follow the laws that are already

139
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: out there.

140
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true, Lauren. I want to turn to

141
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: you for a second. We know your sister's story, but

142
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: you knew your sister like no one else. Tell us

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: what was like in light.

144
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: I could talk about her for forever.

145
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 7: But obviously, being her younger sister, I got to witness

146
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 7: the person that she was firsthand, which I'm extremely grateful for.

147
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 7: But she was just the person that everyone wanted to

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 7: meet and be around, and she was so inspirational and

149
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 7: just the biggest thing that comes to mind when I

150
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 7: think about Lacan is her faith. And how Jesus just

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 7: radiated out of her and it's inspiring and I'm just

152
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 7: so grateful and losing her as left a big hole.

153
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: And you walk the same campus she walked. Do you

154
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: see your friends and how do they remember I do?

155
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 7: I mean she was the same with every person that

156
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 7: she met, so like obviously I got to spend a

157
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 7: lot of time with her. But her roommates would say

158
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 7: the exact same thing. Her best friends would say the

159
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 7: exact same thing, that she's just a light and she

160
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 7: continues to be a light. It hasn't ended, but it's

161
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 7: just a hole that will ever be filled.

162
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Alexis, you had I think the youngest loss of anyone

163
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: I can remember in this horrible story. Your daughter was

164
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: amazing and just in that incredible age where young girls

165
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: become women.

166
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: Tell us a little bit about her.

167
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 8: She was very creative, She thrived with music. She was

168
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 8: the kindest friend anyone could ask for. I've had the

169
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 8: pleasure of getting to know her friends on a deeper

170
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 8: level after this tragedy, and her spirit radiated through them.

171
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 8: They were reminded that there are kind souls still out there,

172
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 8: and she was very an old soul. I felt even

173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 8: though she was only twelve, it seemed like she was

174
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 8: born in the nineties almost. She loved music that was

175
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 8: beyond my time. She liked the fifties style, sixties style.

176
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: She loved to.

177
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 8: Dress like she was from the nineties. She was very,

178
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 8: very talented. She aspired to be a famous actress. She said, Mom,

179
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 8: everyone's going to know who I am one day, and

180
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 8: I'm here too. Just shedding light.

181
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: For sure, Alexis when you see what a political football

182
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: this unfortunately became. It's a life and death situation. It

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: should never be something that is caught between politics. But

184
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: do you feel like I suppose that people have woken up,

185
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: people who maybe without knowing you, without knowing your story, Lauren,

186
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 3: you as well, maybe they woke up a little.

187
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 8: For sure, Most definitely, I would say even me and

188
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 8: my family have woken up. I was never really big

189
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 8: into the politics. My family never really spoke much on

190
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 8: politics until it kind of hit our front door, literally

191
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 8: and it kind of shed light and awareness to really

192
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 8: understand what we're having as a country. And there's so

193
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 8: much that has been wrong and has been overlooked and

194
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 8: just turned it the other way. And I never asked

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 8: to be in the spotlight. I never asked to do this,

196
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 8: and I never asked for my daughter to lose her life,

197
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 8: but she did and that is what happened. And I

198
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 8: am now going to keep sharing her story to help

199
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 8: make change. It's not about right or wrong. It's not

200
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 8: about left or right. It is about what's right.

201
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: I can't imagine if I lost my son, what I

202
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: would feel like, what I would do watching you, each

203
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: of you get up from this tragedy and then say,

204
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: rather than fold up, I'm going to try to help

205
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: this country get to the common sense place it needs.

206
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Say we're in a moment of insanity. Where'd you find

207
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: that strength? When did you know you needed to do that?

208
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 8: By just being strong? The Houston's crime stoppers were very

209
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 8: helpful with me and navigating the very beginning stages of

210
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 8: all of it, and she just kept reminding me. April

211
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 8: was just saying, honestly, it's going to pay off. I

212
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 8: promise you if you get through it now. It won't

213
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 8: get easier and it won't bring her back, but at

214
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 8: least it'll shed light on her story and that as

215
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 8: well as walking in a very strong faith with Jesus.

216
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 8: He is my strength that has gotten me through every

217
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 8: single day, and why I know that I will see

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 8: her again. He has a plan for me, He has

219
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 8: bigger purpose for me, and it was just her time.

220
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: You answered his call here. That's an amazing thing. It

221
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: is amazing. Michelle. You've been almost a decade on this journey,

222
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: or about a decade, I guess. Tell us a.

223
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: Little bit about what that journey looks like two and

224
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: three years into it, because the pain never goes away,

225
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: the cry for justice still sits there and echoes every day.

226
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: What's the journey been like over this last decade for you?

227
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: It has been difficult, but as they're saying, faith keeps

228
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: you going. It is my form of therapy to keep

229
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 5: speaking her story and meeting Unfortunately, the other Angel families

230
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: has really been a support group that has helped me

231
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: through a lot of things.

232
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: They're all sitting there, twenty one family sitting in our

233
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: studio today, and every one of them creates a sense

234
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: of community and family and patriotism. We are so lucky

235
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: to be in all of your presence today, on this night,

236
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: on Sarah Root's birthday. All of us have an obligation

237
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: to make sure that what happened to these extraordinary women.

238
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't ever happen again in this country. We can't forget.

239
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: We must hold resolve and keep that border secure for

240
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: future generations. To each of you tonight, thank you so

241
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: much for being with us. We are going to honor

242

Speaker 2: your loved ones as long.

00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: As I can hold a pendent a pencil on a mic,

244
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: and I know any of you of the same living ye.

245
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: All right, folks, We're.

00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720

00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: a quick few messages, we go back.

250
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Look from Washington, d C. Welcome back to the first

251
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:21,640

252
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back, America to the second night of the American

253
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: Border Heroes Awards. Last night we honor Tom Holman, Sheriff

254
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Caronan Donahue in Art del Cuato, and Maria Herrero Vega,

255
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: the mother of slain Border Patrol agent Javier Vega Junior.

256
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: She accepted the award on behalf of all the Border

257
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: patrol agents and their families everywhere in this great country.

258
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Now we want to turn to preserving the legacy of

259
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: Lake and Riley, Jocelyn Hungary and Rachel mord.

260
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: We know their stories. We cried along with their families.

261
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: We promised never again, but tonight we want to embrace

262
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: and remember them. Here's a reminder of Lake and Raleigh

263
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: story done beautifully by the Erican Border Story tick.

264
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 9: Look.

265
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why Lincoln got picked to be all

266
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: over the news, but this is happening all over our.

267
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 10: Nation all the time.

268
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 7: Her life was so much more. That's not her and

269
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 7: what happened to her is not her. Who did it

270
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 7: is not her? She's her and she's so much more

271
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 7: than that, and that hasn't been portrayed often.

272
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: That's what the American Border Story does every day. But

273
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: we started back together so we never forget those lost

274
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: to this incredible scourge. Lacn's mom and dad are in

275
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: the audience. You just got to meet her sister. That

276
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: was remarkable. We've got some amazing things we're about to do.

277
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: We will make sure young students in the future will

278
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: also know Lacn's story and that of Jocelyn and Rachel,

279
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: and as part of it, we will also make certain

280
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: that they are set up and of course, for the

281
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: success that Lake and Joscelyn and Rachel were deprived of.

282
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: We can do that because of the generosity of the

283
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: American Border Story.

284
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: Joining me to.

285
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: Unveil these new scholarships is no Cole Kippeloff, the founder

286
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: of the American Border Story.

287
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: Nicole another amazing night. This is an incredible thing.

288
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: Those little short videos you tell people just bring everything

289
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: to life. Tonight's a very big move forward for you, your group,

290
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: and for the country.

291
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 11: I think absolutely. Look, it's the least we can do

292
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 11: for these families. We're just trying to do our part.

293
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 11: And I think it's particularly beautiful what you said about

294
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 11: how with this scholarship fund that I'm about to announce,

295
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 11: we're actually continuing the success of the victims of the

296
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 11: border crisis. They if they if their lives weren't taken

297
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 11: from them that soon, they would have probably followed in

298
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 11: this path.

299
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 12: And so this is this is.

300
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 11: One way of us remembering their legacy and continuing their

301
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 11: success in our hearts. So the American Border Story is

302
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 11: honored to officially announce the creation of the American Border

303
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 11: Story Scholarship Fund. And it's named, like John said, after

304
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 11: three of the victims of the border crisis, Lake and Riley,

305
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 11: Jocelyn Nungara, and Rachel Morin. It's to honor their memory

306
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 11: and preserve their legacy and the American Border Stories. Lake

307
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 11: and Riley Scholarship will be awarded to one recipient who

308
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 11: is studying nursing. We know that nursing was a passion

309
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 11: of Lake and Riley, and that's what she was studying.

310
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 11: The American Border Stories Jocelyn N. Garei Scholarship will be

311
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 11: awarded to one student who is studying to become a

312
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 11: wildlife conservationist or biologist. We know that Jocelyn was very

313
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,720

00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: honor both of you, and then Agnes Gibney, who I've

329
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: known since the Border days when I was down there

330
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: traveling with Real America's Voice. Tell us about your son.

331
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 6: My only son, my firstborn, was murdered by a previously

332
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 6: deported criminal, illego alien. He was shot in the arm

333
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 6: and the bullet traveled across his chest, severing the main

334
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 6: r dey, and he died in sojoy.

335
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 3: Tell us about his life.

336
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 6: Ronald was a very special kid. He was very neat,

337
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 6: very caring. If he had one candy, he would cut

338
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 6: it to give me half. He loved animals. He would

339
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 6: pick up lizards and bring it in the house because

340
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 6: he wanted to save them. Birds and crows that would

341
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 6: fall off a tree. A prankster, but he gave the

342
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 6: best hugs and most of all, what I missed most

343
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 6: is him telling me I love you, mommy.

344
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 3: Where do you think he would be today?

345
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 6: That's a good question, something I'll never know because it's

346
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 6: been twenty three years that he was killed. He would

347
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 6: have been fifty two years old this past January.

348
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: Goodness, as you have watched the evolution of the border crisis,

349
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: President Trump trying to do as much as he could

350
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: in his first term, and then Joe Biden coming into

351
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: office and just turning into complete upheaval. Revert seeing all

352
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: of the accomplishments and all of the security the President

353
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: Trump instilled, and then President Trump coming along this time around,

354
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: it seems like President Trump is acting more aggressively to

355
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: get this done in a very quick manner. What do

356
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 3: you think on that?

357
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 6: I love it. President Trump is the only one that

358
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 6: gave us a voice about all the victims of illigo

359
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 6: Ilian crime. There was hundreds of us, and he's an

360
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 6: alpha male. He gets the job done. He doesn't get intimidated.

361
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: And President Trump, if you're watching, I love you, love you,

362
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: love you. In the last administration, I wanted to leave

363
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 6: the United States, and because of Trump, I'm again a

364
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: proud American citizen.

365
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: Did the Biden administration ever reach out to you, or

366
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I suppose this happened way before that Obama anybody.

367
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: Nobody, nobody cared. Some politicians would want a photo off,

368
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 6: but they did nothing and didn't care. President Trump is

369
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 6: the only one that cared about our children or family

370
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 6: members who have been victimized by illegal alians.

371
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: You know, when people go up to Capitol Hill and

372
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: they serve an office, we often think of them as

373
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: policymakers and that they've been doing that their whole lives,

374
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: and sometimes we forget that they have you know, they're

375
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: just normal people, and they are normal people with really

376
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: good ideas sometimes. So I know that with the loss

377
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: of your son, you've probably had a lot of time

378
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: to think about ideas, ways that, you know, maybe outside

379
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: the box ideas which President Trump is very good at

380
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: it when it comes to fixing the border. Is there

381
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: anything else that you would like to tell President Trump? Hey,

382
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: why don't we try this?

383
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 6: One thing I would like to try is in all

384
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 6: sanctuary states sanctuary cities number two, have law enforcement have

385
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: the power to do the job that they were hired

386
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 6: to do and keep statistics on every crime committed by

387
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 6: illego alien robbery burglary, assaults, rape, murder, and they come from,

388
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 6: so we can have a better idea which country we

389
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 6: need to really protect the United States and the citizens

390
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: of this country from.

391
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: I know you saw those posters that were set up

392
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: at the White House of the people who have been

393
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: arrested and most of them deported. Do you think that's

394
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 3: a good way to get the message across to let's say,

395
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 3: media that don't really want to cover it.

396
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 6: Well, it is for us, for the public who really

397
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: cares about this issue. For the fake media they don't care.

398
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 6: They probably find it offensive. I don't. I think all

399
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 6: their pictures should be plastered all over town so everybody

400
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: would know who these criminals are.

401
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 5: Well.

402
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: President Trump and his administration, the Press Secretary, I think

403
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: are doing their best to get that message out there,

404
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: even if the media doesn't want to listen. Agnes given

416
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 11: a license. Chrisha's murderer was finally apprehended last month because

417
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 11: of President Trump's immigration policies to make this country safer.

418
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,720

434

449
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: going to get to that shortly, but first we're going

450
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: to take a quick crumbler break.

451
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the first annual American Border Heroes Awards

452
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: right here on Real America's voice.

453
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: United States is the most powerful country in the world,

454
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: the country of opportunity. He had two children. They were

455
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 6: eight and ten at the time of his murder. Biden

456
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 6: didn't care about securing our borders. Biden didn't care about

457
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 6: keeping criminals out of our country. But he was a

458
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 6: known gang member with long history of rests. Which separates

459
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 6: me and my son is six feet of dirt in

460
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 6: a coffin. I don't want my son to have died

461
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 6: in vain.

462
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: We're here tonight to make sure that that doesn't happen.

463
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: No one in this family of people here are going

464
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: to have lost someone in Vain. We're going to make

465
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: sure their memories and their stories are forever told. Welcome

466
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: back to America. Continuing our conversation with our amazing angel families.

467
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,199

486
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,720

487
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 13: was Puerto Rican, she spoke English. She had just started

488
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 13: high school at the age of thirteen. She would have

489
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 13: graduated high school at seventeen.

490
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 4: She had a huge heart.

491
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 13: She was often late to class because she liked to

492
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 13: hole the door open for everybody instead of just going on,

493
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 13: and she told me she couldn't help it. She couldn't

494
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 13: just let anybody just walk through.

495
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: She was such a bright.

496
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 13: Light in people's lives that when we moved to the

497
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 13: new high school, only being there a few months when

498
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 13: she was killed, the students stop sitting at her spot

499
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,520

504
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: beyond word imagine, can imagine.

505
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 4: Agnes, you carry that picture of your son around. I

00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 4: know that tell us about him.

507
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 6: This is my firstborn and only son, Ronald the Silver,

508
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 6: that was killed by a previously deported criminal, illego alien,

509
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 6: and I want to share this picture with the audience.

510
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 6: No parents should ever have to go to a cemetery

511
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 6: to celebrate their child's birthday. And this was this past January.

512
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 6: Ronald would have been fifty two years old. My son

513
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 6: was very special. He was very caring, very kind, very loving.

514
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 6: I had the most beautiful smile. And that's one thing

515
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 6: that everybody said that is memorial service, that they're going

516
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 6: to miss his smile. He was a good friend to

517
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 6: everyone very caring, and I was left with dreams that

518
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 6: were not completed. This chapter will never be completed. I

519
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 6: will never know what could have been. And the last

520
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 6: twenty three years was stolen from my family, from me

521
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: because of new memories that could have been created.

522
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: All of you been robbed of these extraordinary things. Vickie,

Speaker 10: going back and forth all day. They kept letting him

548
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 10: get into the car. He got on our freeway system

549
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 10: in Phoenix, drove over thirty five miles the wrong way

550
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 10: on four different freeways before crashing head on into my son,

551
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 10: going one hundred and four miles an hour. The dreaded

552
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 10: knock at the door when your son is a law

553
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 10: enforcement officer, the police officer standing there. We went down

555
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 10: died from his injuries in surgery. Brandon was a huge

556
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 10: force in our community. He cleaned up a homeless illegal

557
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 10: encampment in a park, got rid of the drug dealers,

558
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 10: allowed the neighborhood to reclaim a family park, and you

559
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 10: can go by there today and still see those families.

560
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 10: A ballfield in the middle of it named the Sergeant

561
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 10: Mendoza Ballfield, and his memory lives on with the people

562
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 10: that he loved, cared about serving.

563
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 4: His country right to the last minute.

564
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to go back around because we're educating

565
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: everybody who hasn't been through this, and there's more we

566
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: can do for families Angel families, for everyone represented here.

567
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: There are hundreds more that we haven't been able to

568
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: get in the show yet, but they're out there. Are

569
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: going to start with you. Maryanna came back around this way.

570
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: Tell us what we as Americans, what our government, what

571
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: our Washington political representas can do to make sure Angel

572
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: families get all the support any What are the things

573
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: that we still fall short on.

574
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 10: The first thing that I would say is our duly

575
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 10: elected representatives in Washington need to give these families a call.

576
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 10: They need to acknowledge the loss in their communities in

577
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 10: their state. We need to have our public, our friends,

578
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 10: people who cared about our loved ones, say their name,

579
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 10: come and talk to us. Don't make us feel like

580
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 10: we're something that you need to hide, because that is

581
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 10: a huge part of getting over the pain. But the

582
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 10: main thing is having a leader, President Trump, who understands

583
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 10: that the law of the land is going to make

584
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 10: our country safe and secure and make American citizens appreciate

585
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 10: that type of environment is the biggest thing that these

586
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 10: politicians can do. And don't deny us the truth. Look

587
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 10: us in the eye and acknowledge that our loved ones

588
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 10: have been killed by illegal aliens allowed into our country.

589
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: We deserve the truth. You deserve the truth. VII.

590
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 9: I would agree with everything that Marianna said, and plus

591
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 9: I would also add that we need to get rid

592
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 9: of these sanctuary cities, these sanctuary states. We need to

593
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 9: give border patrol and our borders are everything that they need,

594
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 9: the monies, the willpower, the manpower, everything that they need.

595
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 9: We have been very fortunate that we have made a

596
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 9: lot of friends through our tragedies, and it has been

597
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 9: so helpful just to know that somebody they also shared

598
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 9: in our grief and can dry our tears and be

599
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 9: a shoulder to lean on.

600
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: It is an amazing community.

601
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: Just watching these last two days, how touching it is

602
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: how you all support each other, and how the commonality

603
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: of pain and also creating good from that pain keeps

604
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: you bonded together. It's an amazing thing. We honor you

605
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: in so many ways agnes. What are we missing from

606
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: the list?

607
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 6: A lot of things. These politicians need to be held

608
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 6: accountable for not securing our border, and they need to

609
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 6: be charged because they're an accomplice to the many hundreds

610
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 6: and thousands of Americans that are victimized. I would like

611
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 6: to see everify enforced and implemented. I would like to

612
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 6: see every public assistance eliminated to any illego alien, including

613
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 6: children that are born into our country. Maybe wait until

614
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 6: they're eighteen years old, and if you choose to be

615
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 6: an American citizen, you can become an American citizen, but

616
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 6: not at the expense of US taxpayers, and have stricter

617
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 6: laws for God's sakes, because these illigo Alians are looking

618
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 6: at US as nothing but cash cows. And now they

619
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 6: get Medicare, Now they get all kinds of benefits. And

620
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 6: people are ignorant about this. They say, all illego Alians

621
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 6: can't get public assistance. Yes they do, maybe not directly

622
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 6: through welfare, but they get it through their church or

623
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 6: to all of these organizations. They get public federal grants.

624
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: That needs to stop, and birth right citizenship also because

625
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 6: they don't belong here, and deport them all one by one,

626
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 6: deport them all.

627
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: Supreme Court's going to answer one of those questions here

628
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: and on birth right said, if it's going to be

629
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 4: an important one, Chris, we started with you.

630
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: We're going to finish this block with you. What else

631
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: do we need to do from all the things amazing

632
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: family went through.

633
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 13: Well, you know there's a journey that started when my

634
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 13: daughter was killed that left me with a lot of

635
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 13: questions and not a lot of answers. Twoty seven G

636
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 13: program being restarted. It needs to be mandatory voluntary because

637
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 13: some of the excuses that have been is we don't

638
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 13: have anyone. This deputy is to do law enforcement border enforcements.

639
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 4: Well, if every police.

640
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 13: Department has at least one, can't tell me that there's

641
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 13: only one law enforcement agent in the entire county. So

642
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 13: if every county has every law enforcement agency has at

643
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 13: least one person that deputized to act as an ice

644
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 13: agent and enforce immigration, then they can't deny it.

645
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: There was something that I learned in trying to understand.

646
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 13: The laws with how my daughter was killed, and I

647
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 13: learned about fusion cells. I don't know if you've ever

648
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 13: heard of those, but they are actually ran by FEMA.

649
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 13: Of all things. FEMA is in charge of the funding.

650
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 13: Fusion cells are not allowed to tell other fusion cells

651
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 13: when they have a known target passing through their AO.

652
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 13: This needs to be shared. Information needs to be shared

653
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 13: cross between each fusion cell. And more importantly, the intelligence

654
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 13: is collected from law enforcement.

655
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: Goes up to the highest levels, but.

656
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 13: It does not come back down. The FBI hears about information,

657
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 13: they are not obligated to pass it back down. If

658
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 13: law enforcement is sharing information both directions, all across the nation,

659
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 13: then you have a better chance of knowing when you

660
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 13: have a known target or an illegal alien in the

661
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 13: area and making sure that the statistics. Even though we

662
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 13: don't want our families to be statistics, we don't have

663
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 13: it to say it. They need to know the crimes

664
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 13: that are committed, the amount of crimes are committed, the ages,

665
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 13: the locations, where are they from. And more importantly, this

666
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 13: ridiculous concept of privacy rights for illegals. Privacy rights are

667
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 13: supposed to be for US citizens. They have no privacy rights.

668
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 13: Angel parents cannot find out very much information. The voice

669
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 13: program going to Vine to locate your people. If they're

670
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 13: not in their system, you can't get any information, and

671
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 13: it's considered.

672
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 4: Privacy to ask for it. They don't have privacy.

673
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 13: They came to the country, they violated our sovereignty, and

674
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 13: every crime they've committed since then takes one more layer

675
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 13: of their privacy away. We all should be given that

676
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 13: opportunity to be mandatory law enforcement tells us what is

677
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 13: going on with that person, where they're at in the system,

678
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 13: not we have to inquire about it. It should automatically

679
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 13: a case open and we get the information.

680
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: We should bring all of you together with members of

681
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: Congress who have yet to shown the courage to get

682
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: these things done. Have them look at you and get

683
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: these things done. Your wisdom, I know, is forged through pain,

684
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 2: but you have a lot of wisdom. You're giving us

685
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: that ability to fix this not for one time or

686
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: one presidency, but for the rest of this country's history.

687
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: To each of you, thank you for coming here tonight,

688
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: for making all of this possible work a lot smarter

689
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: because of your courage and your wisdom.

690
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: And we are always going to honor your children.

691
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: I promise you that we have some more families outside

692
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: with Amanda.

693
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 4: So Amanda, we're gonna kick things out to you out

694
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 4: in the audience.

695
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. John. Yeah, Look, these are about

696
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 3: the story, So I want to get into some of

697
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: the stories. I know that we have maybe just briefly

698
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: mentioned some of them in the part one of this special,

699
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: but for people who are just now tuning in, I

700
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: want I want everybody to hear their stories. Angie Mooreph

701
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: and your son Reuben, you're a precious boy. Tell us

702
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: about him.

703
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 14: Oh, my god, he was just a baby and he

704
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 14: was walking home to my mom's house and two carloads

705
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 14: of gang bangers stopped and beat up on the kids,

706
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 14: and my son was actually grabbed by the shoulder and

707
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 14: shutting back of the head point blank. When I got

708
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 14: to the hospital, the doctor told me that they were

709
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 14: going to turn off the machine because he was only

710
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 14: living off the machine, that they had just blown out

711
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 14: half of his brains, and that if he lived, he

712
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 14: would be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

713
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 14: The guy who killed my son, I didn't know anything

714
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 14: about him, but God's grace. They aired a Sun's story

715
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 14: on America's Most Wanted. A few months later, they got

716
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 14: word that Mariscal was in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

717
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 14: Foreign Prosecution Union unit that stationed in San Diego, went

718
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 14: into Mexico, put a warrant for his arrest, and he

719
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 14: served twenty years in a Mexican state prison for my

720
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 14: son's death. It took a long time, and some people say, well,

721
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 14: you got justice, but it's been thirty four years for me,

722
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 14: and I could cried for him like if it was yesterday,

723
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 14: and you just can't forget.

724
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that justice doesn't bring him back.

725
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 14: No, it doesn't. And it's hurt my whole family. It

726
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 14: destroys a whole family in a community. And what I'd

727
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 14: like to see is like I live in Monterey County, Salinas, California,

728
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 14: and they see it's not a sanctuary city, but it is.

729
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 14: They protect him, and they've even decided to supervisors decided

730
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 14: to protect the illegals and did the council is no better?

731
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm so sorry about that, Maria. Your son,

732
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: Javier Vega Junior. We honored him last night and in

733
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 3: the first part of this show, what do you want

734
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: the world to remember about your son?

735
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 15: Well, the way I'm going to answer that question is

736
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 15: it's been a over a decade. We're almost going on

737
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 15: eleven years, and to this date, just like today, he

738
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 15: was honored, his friends, his classmates, his co workers, our families,

739
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 15: both minds and my husband. They say his name all

740
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 15: the time, and it just, you know, it's hard doing

741
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 15: each day without him. And the fact that as a grandmother,

742
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 15: I know that his grandsons, I mean his sons, my grandsons,

743
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 15: have to do life without him. It's just heartbreaking. And

744
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 15: this is one of the reasons why we all speak up.

745
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 15: We don't want anyone else to suffer a loss like this.

746
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 15: So but it's just, you know, just the fact that

747
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 15: there was a street named after him, there was a

748
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 15: checkpoint renamed after him. This is from his coworkers. This

749
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 15: was friends of ours, some of his classmates. They had

750
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 15: a brick placed at the Veterans Monument where we live,

751
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 15: and they're always trying to do things in memory of him.

752
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 15: So it just gives us some comfort. But like I said,

753
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 15: this is hard doing life without our children.

754
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 3: Yes, parents should never have to bury their children. It's

755
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 3: just not the way that the order of life should go. Yeah,

756
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 3: Bonnie Driscoll, your daughter Lacey Marie Ferguson, tell her about her.

757
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 16: Oh, she was, I would say, loving, funny, She had

758
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 16: the loudest laugh.

759
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 17: She really enjoyed life.

760
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 16: She went to a convenience store on August twenty fourth

761
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 16: of two thousand and three, came out of the store

762
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 16: and was met by gunfire. There was two people in

763
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 16: a car who decided just to shoot people, and they

764
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 16: shot her and two others. She didn't survivor her injuries.

765
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 16: She was deemed brain dead and had to be taken

766
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 16: off of a machine.

767
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 10: The killer.

768
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 16: It took a long, hard battle to get him actually

769
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 16: chased down, arrested, convicted. It took until August, well, it

770
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 16: was about by August twenty eighteen. He entered prison in

771
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 16: California after he was convicted of sixty one to life

772
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 16: plus life plus life. I am now dealing with the

773
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 16: proposal that they want to give him an early release

774
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 16: for the elderly parole program because it took so long

775
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 16: to catch him. He's fifty two now and they're looking

776
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 16: at a possible parole in twenty thirty four, which pretty

777
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 16: much adds up that he's doing seven years for three

778
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 16: life sentences plus sixty one if he's successful. I just

779
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 16: don't understand how that can be, you know, as a parent,

780
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 16: and this picture I have of her It's one of

781
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 16: my favorites.

782
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 10: This is all I have to hold.

783
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 16: My daughter was a twenty five year old single mother.

784
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 16: She passed away on her only child's third birthday. Thank you.

785
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, Chris. I feel like every time I

786
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: hear one of these stories, it's hard to move on

787
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 3: because you just want to you just want to keep

788
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: asking questions. Chris story your brother tell us about him?

789
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 17: Thank you, My brother Joe. He was an amazing man.

790
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 17: He loved his family, he loved his country, and he

791
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 17: was just everyone loved her, loved him. He loved fishing,

792
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 17: riding motorcycles, and I loved riding on the back with them,

793
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 17: and he was just an amazing person. He was a

794
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 17: small business owner. He owned a small construction company, and

795
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 17: I heard him say many times I will never hire

796
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 17: an illegal alien over an American citizen, and he never did.

797
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 17: So we were against the illegal immigration before he ever

798
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 17: got killed. And so they need to hold these companies

799
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 17: accountable that hire them, you know, they need to be

800
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 17: rougher on them, be harder on them. And we were

801
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 17: on vacation at the outer Banks of North Carolina. An

802
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 17: illegal alien who had gotten a ticket too much prior

803
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 17: for running a red light. Ran a red light, he

804
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 17: was drunk. Joe died instantly. I was there lifted to

805
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 17: Norfolk with critical injuries. The illegal alien ended up fleeing

806
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 17: from the hospital. They caught him two weeks later in

807
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 17: Raleigh put him in jail. He asked for a boond reduction.

808
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 17: First judge said, no way, you're illegal. You've already fled.

809
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 17: So they bring in a liberal judge who's married to

810
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 17: an immigration attorney, and that judge reduces his bomb from

811
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 17: one hundred thousand to fifty thousand dollars, and he, of

812
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 17: course flees again. When I asked, you know, when they

813
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 17: reduced it, I said, who's going to be watching him?

814
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 17: They said nobody, We don't have the manpower. I begged

815
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 17: for an ankle monitor. They wouldn't put one on him.

816
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 17: And so anyway, you know, I just my thing is,

817
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 17: I want to get our story out there. I had

818
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 17: so much skill, help for living, and my family told

819
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 17: me you're left here for a reason, and this is

820
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 17: my reason. I want to get my brother's story out there.

821
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 17: I want families to know thousands of Americans are killed

822
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 17: every year by these illiguelians and they don't care they

823
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 17: have no remorse. I've had people say, how do you

824
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 17: know he don't have remorse. I said, he's fled twice.

825
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 17: And then in twenty nineteen, Ice put him on their

826
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 17: top ten most wanted list, along with five other ones,

827
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 17: and in twenty twenty one, by an excuse, six of

828
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 17: the ten, stating that the crimes they committed did not

829
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 17: warrant them being on the wanted list, like my brother's

830
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 17: life meant nothing, or the you know, any of our family,

831
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 17: family members who were killed. I mean, there's a big difference.

832
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 17: We lost our mom in two thousand and nine. I

833
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 17: was holding her hands. She passed away quietly, she peacefully,

834
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 17: and that was hard. That was hard. But when someone

835
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 17: kills your loved one, your child, your brother, your cousin, anyone,

836
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 17: your heart shatters. My heart broke when my mom died,

837
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 17: it shattered when my brother got killed. And we do

838
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 17: not want this happening to any more families. I mean,

839
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 17: this has been going on forever, I mean as long

840
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 17: as we've been a country, almost you know, it's just

841
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 17: it's got to end at some point. Too many families

842
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 17: have been devastated by this and we don't need anymore.

843
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 3: So and John emphasized this before the fact that you

844
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 3: all have so much courage to speak out about this,

845
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: it shows how much you care about this country, your

846
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 3: loved ones, yes, but also this country because you don't

847
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: want to see that for other people. And I think

848
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 3: that is incredibly, incredibly admirable. I'm not sure Mark, your

849
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 3: mom was killed when you were sixteen months old. You're

850
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 3: wearing a hat of hers. It's one of the few

851
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: things that you have left from her. Tell us about

852
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: your mom.

853
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 12: Well, I don't have any memories of her because I

854
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 12: was so young when she was taken from us. But

855
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 12: from what I've been told, she was incredibly sweet, a

856
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 12: great listener, just a friend to everyone. And that's just

857
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 12: that's what I want people to know her by, is

858
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 12: all the great she did for the world. And it's just,

859
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 12: you know, hard knowing that I'll never see her ever, Yes,

860
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 12: I will.

861
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 3: More.

862
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 6: Thanks.

863
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 17: It's amazing how many people I talk to that will

864
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 17: listen to my story, and people that don't want to

865
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 17: listen to it. I tell it anyway, and they always say, wow,

866
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 17: I never knew there were that many Americans killed by

867
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 17: illegal aliens. I mean, I hear that all the time,

868
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 17: and that's because the mainstream media won't report it. I

869
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 17: mean they need and thank you.

870
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely welcome.

871
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 14: I would really like to see Tom Holman go and

872
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 14: get all these city council people and county supervisors for

873
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 14: aiding and abating Evenian immigration.

874
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 3: I agree, and let me tell you, I would not

875
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 3: want to be on the other side of an argument

876
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: with Tom Holman.

877
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 15: That is for sure.

878
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 14: John.

879
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to send it back over to you in

880
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 3: the studio.

881
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 4: Thanks, Amanda.

882
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: That was amazing, What a great discussion. I'm here with

883
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 2: Nicole Kippeloff. We're going to wrap things up today, Nicole.

884
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: So many amazing things happened over these last two days.

885
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: We had other awards, we heard some really specific things

886
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: from Tom Homan about what comes next. We heard from

887
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: these amazing families, we learned from their tragedy what still

888
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: needs to be done. And then we're sitting here in

889
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: the last block and Vicky the shermock tells that she

890
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: meets Tom Homan here and her long unsolved case for

891
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: her family. He's agreed to take that case. So some

892
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: good game and investigations are you going to come? Just

893
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: because we bought all these amazing people together. It isn't

894
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 2: possible about you in the American Border store. I want

895
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: to thank you for it.

896
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 11: Thank you as well. It's so incredible to hear that

897
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 11: because she and her family they deserve justice finally, and

898
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 11: it's really amazing. One important moment that stood out to me,

899
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 11: one point that stood out for me from the past

900
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 11: couple of days here is how restoring trust in this

901
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 11: country's leadership can be so incredibly life changing and has

902
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 11: been life changing for these families. Going from the filled

903
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 11: Biden administration where these families were forgotten Biden didn't even

904
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 11: contact them underrug to a successful Trump administration that is prioritizing,

905
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 11: finally the victims over the criminals. It's such a difference.

906
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 11: And it's been three months, not even and this administration

907
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 11: is already delivering so much justice. So we're so blessed

908
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 11: to have President Trump and his entire team, the well

909
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 11: oiled machine, from Cash Betel to Tom Holme and christinoum Lee,

910
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 11: Zelden Brooke Rawlins, everyone, Pam Bondy, they all are all

911
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 11: needed and we are so grateful for all of them

912
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 11: for doing this incredible work.

913
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 4: We're we're all so grateful. A lot of people are

914
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 4: going to want to know what do you think we'll

915
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 4: see those for scholarships. I can't wait to see.

916
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 11: We're planning to announce the recipients in the fall, so

917
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 11: that'll be some very exciting news to come soon in

918
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 11: a few months. So we're very excited for that.

919
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 4: I can't wait.

920
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: I can't wait to meet the first generation of those

921
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: scholarship recipients.

922
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 4: And that's great honor. You never rest.

923
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: There'll be more stories out on the American Border Story

924
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: really quickly. We've got a special event coming up this summer.

925
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 11: Tell us about thinking of doing a town hall with

926
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 11: Border Patrol wives. This will take place at a border town,

927
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 11: so it'll be at the scene there. This is a

928
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 11: unique perspective because you don't really hear what these wives

929
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 11: of Border Patrol agents have gone through. They've received threats,

930
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 11: they've been attacked in various ways, and we want to

931
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 11: tell their stories next. So I think that'll be very

932
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 11: interesting for the American people to hear their voices as well.

933
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 4: Right, all right, final.

934
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 11: Thoughts from night when our team at the American Border

935
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 11: Story was discussing our mission statement, John, and you know

936
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 11: why we produce all of this content in the first place,

937
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 11: our brilliant communications director. She said something that can be

938
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 11: very difficult I think to internalize, but very important to remember,

939
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 11: and she said, where there was darkness, there's hope. And

940
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 11: the reason, John, why we do what we do is

941
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 11: because we I want to make sure that the light

942
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 11: at the end of the tunnel never dims. We want

943
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 11: to make sure that the stories we tell have longevity

944
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 11: and that we never forget the atrocities that occurred as

945
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 11: a result of the failure to secure our border. And

946
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 11: these stories that we tell, they inspire change, they save lives,

947
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 11: and that's why we will always continue to fight. So

948
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 11: thank you so much, John, Thank you to just the News,

949
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 11: thank you to Real America's Voice. Thank you to the

950
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 11: Angel Families, Border Patrol, federal law enforcement, local law enforcement.

951
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 11: You guys are all heroes.

952
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 2: I'm a lot more hopeful just meeting these incredible folks

953
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 2: and that man's a mission has been partly accomplished.

954
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 4: Tonight, that's great.

955
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 2: All right, folks, We're going to send you off into

956
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 2: the weekend with one more story, as only the American

957
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 2: Border story can tell it. Everyone, good night, God bless

958
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 2: you have a great weekend, and thank you for spending some.

959
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 4: Time with me.

960
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 14: I would pray for justice, but I would also pray

961
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 14: that I would never have to see the face of

962
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 14: the person who changed my life forever. They hear my

963
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 14: mom's screaming.

964
00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 8: They shop anio.

965
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 14: He had been executed.

966
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 6: He was just a little boy.

967
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 4: Two hours before he killed women.

968
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 6: They had stopped him, and to let him go.

969
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 14: Without President Trump with a Reuben ever had a voice.

970
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 14: Losing him gave me string to fight back.

971
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 15: I don't want him to die in vain.

972
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 14: If he had to die, there has to be a reason,

973
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 14: and if it's to save this country, he can kill me.

974
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 8: It
