Speaker 1 (00:01):
I want to talk about some new news and data
that is coming out that is going to shock or
should shock every American. Unfortunately, the media is refusing to
cover it. ICE arrest are happening at record pace, and
it's not just random people. ICE has now arrested over
(00:21):
two hundred illegal alien child sex offenders in the Houston,
Texas area alone.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I want to say that again.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
ICE has arrested over two hundred illegal alien child sex
offenders in Houston alone, not the country, not the state
of Texas, in one city. This coming from US Immigration
and Customs Enforcement saying it this way. US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement has arrested two hundred and fourteen illegal aliens
(00:59):
for immigration offenses in the Houston area who have been
charged or convicted of a sex offense involving a minor.
The two hundred and fourteen arrests were more than the
Houston Field Office arrested during the entire twenty twenty four
fiscal year when officers they are arrested two hundred and
(01:21):
eleven illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offenses.
The surge and arrests over the last six months of
illegal aliens charged with theyre convicted of child sex offenses
a direct result of a whole of government approach implemented
under the Trump administration that has now led to the
(01:42):
establishment of multi agency targeting teams in each area of responsibility.
Now these teams conduct daily enhanced immigration enforcement operations targeting
the worst of the worst criminal aliens, something that the
President promised when he was running for president, and yes,
(02:05):
making good on that promise. They are targeting the worst,
the worst criminal alians for one reason arrest and then
the second reason is removal. In Southeast Texas, those efforts
have resulted in an increase in arrests of all quote
dangerous criminal aliens, leading to safer communities, stronger national security,
(02:28):
and enhance border security as well, saying this, bringing together
the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement
community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that
we saw over the past four years has resulted in
the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens,
(02:51):
transnational gang members, and child sex offenders. That is what
ICE enforcement and remove operations, Houston Acting Field Director Paul
McBride said in his statement. He continued by saying this,
while we still have a long way to go to
truly get this crisis under control. The strides we have
(03:13):
made in just the last six months to make our
local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to
work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the
worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our
communities to places we can all enjoy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now. Among the illegal aliens that we're charged.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Or convicted of a child sex offense who were arrested
by the ICE Houston Field Office in the past six months,
here are some of the worst.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
A man by the name of Jesus Coutierrez.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He was a sixty seven year old three times deported
criminal alien from Mexico. He was arrested in March of
twenty eighth and has been convicted of aggravated sexual assault
of a child. He's also been convicted of while intoxicated.
ICE removed the man to Mexico April the fourth. George Zebra,
(04:09):
a forty eight year old criminal alien from Mexico, was
arrested March to twenty first. He's now been convicted of
not one, but two counts of aggravated sexual assault of
a minor in sexual indecency with a miner. ICE has
removed him to Mexico March the twenty fourth as well.
Manuel Antonio Castro, a thirty seven year old, has also
(04:33):
a rap sheet twice deported criminal alien, this time from
Al Salvador.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
He was arrested July.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The eighteenth and has been convicted of sexual assault of
a minor and twice for I legal reentry. He remains
in ICE custody, pinning his third removal to El Salvador.
Jose Mesa is a forty year old four time deported
criminal alien from Mexico who is yet again arrested said
(05:00):
June the twenty fourth. He's been convicted of He's been
convicted of theft and sexual assault of a child. Ice
removed the man to Mexico June the twenty fifth. Sergio Rolando,
a forty five year old three time deported criminal alien
from Mexico who has arrested June the twelfth, has been
convicted of DWI and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's been removed to Mexico July the fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now you look at the difference now between what's happening
and over the last four years, federal law enforcement agencies
have been contributed to the multi agency targeting teams, including
the Houston Office of the FBI, the Houston Office of
the ATF, the Houston Office of the DA, and the
US Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Diplomat's
(05:52):
Security Services and the US Marshall Service. You add in
state and local law enforcement agencies that have also asses.
You look at this and this I go back to
what I said is just in one city, two hundred
and fourteen illegal aliens have been arrested for immigration offense
in the Houston area in the past six months, and
(06:14):
they've been charged or convicted of sex offenses involving miners.
They got to ask you a question, are you one
of those that is just so tired of giving your
money to radical left woke companies that actually are fighting
against your values every day?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, there are certain bills that.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
You pay every month that if you can go with
a conservative company, why not do it? In fact, why
not go with a conservative company that actually takes part
of your bill every month that you're going to pay
to somebody and they give it back to organizations that
support your First and your Second Amendment rights, that support
the rights of unborn children that stand with our military,
(06:53):
are first responders, and so many wounded warriors that need help. Well,
that bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill.
And I've been telling you for a long time about
Patriot Mobile. But there's no better time to switch than
right now. Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all
three major networks in this country, yeah, all three. That
(07:14):
means you get the same great coverage you're used to
right now, but you also make a difference with every
call you make and every text you make.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And why would you want to give your mond a
big mobile?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Big Mobile has been giving big donations to democratic causes,
democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations
that actually support abortion. That is why I want you
to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go ahead and
make the switch, And it's so easy. All you have
(07:45):
to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles one hundred percent
US based team from the comfort of your home or
your office, and they'll have you activated in minutes. And
if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.
Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up to five hundred
dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
or upgrade, do a new one. So back to my point,
(08:06):
what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
make a difference every single day with every call you make.
Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot
com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot. And
if you use the promo code ferguson, you're gonna get
a free month of service on top of that. Patriot
(08:28):
Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven two Patriot.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven
to two Patriot. This is who the Biden administration was
allowing into our country on purpose.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
They knew that these people were in this country.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They knew that they were flooding our cities, and they
knew that sanctuary policies and sanctuary cities were actually protecting
that's right, protecting these individuals from accountabil.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And also deportation.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
These two hundred and fourteen illegal alien child sex offenders
knew they were safe in the United States of America
under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I want you to think about what that means.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The worst of the worst is who they're going after
not just in Houston, but also around the country. The
Department of Homeland Security is also doing things like Alligator Alcatraz,
the migrant facility, talking about opening up Alcatraz again.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And why are they doing this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They're doing it for one reason, as a deterrent, to
make it very clear that in this country right now,
if you are an illegal immigrant, especially an illegal immigrant
that is abusing children or any other human being, we
are coming after you. The other thing the President has
(09:56):
said is we need to well turbocharge ICE arrests and deportations.
The left here is that and they lose their mind.
They say it's insane. Well, ICE is now revealing many
of the worst of the worst I legal immigrants arrested
in cities all over the country, including convicted child rapists, arsonists,
(10:19):
and human smugglers. The President of the United States of
America making it clear this is why he was elected
and he's going to stop at nothing to protect you
and your families from these monsters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I want you to listen to part of the plan here.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Department of Home and Security Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin
went on Fox News to talk about in US since
Phase two now what is phase two.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Phase two is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Doing everything we can to get these violent criminals off
the streets. Listen carefully, Let's let's bring in Tricia McLoughlin.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
She is the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary. So
I've got some pictures of Alligator Alcatraz that we want
to put up here because it's fast under construction. DeSantis
was saying this morning on Fox and Friends. They hope
to have it done by Tuesday. This is a facility,
it's being partially funded by the federal government. A lot
of cooperation between Florida and the Feds. How does this
(11:16):
facility fit into everything that you're trying to do on
a national level.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, since day one, Secretary Noome has called on the
state and local governments, Hey, we need help with detention beds.
That is a key operational lynch pin and getting these
arrests and deportations turbocharge, because we need somewhere to house
these aliens until we can actually get them out of
the country. So this will give us up to five
thousand new beds. Florida has been a fantastic partner in
(11:39):
this incredibly innovative and we hope to see more of
this from our state and local partners. But we also
have to get that big beautiful bill pass because that's
going to give us over one hundred thousand detention bed capacity,
and that doubles what we can do really turbo charge
those arrest numbers.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So this is this facility is being built out at
a training airport, which is right along the day Call
your account line. I've driven past it many times on
the Tammiami Trail. Here's what Ron Desanta said. This facility
is capable of listening here.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
This is going to be able to have more than
three thousand illegals.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It can be processed through here. We've got a.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Massive runway right behind us where any of the federal
assets that they want to fly these people back to
their home country, they can do it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
One stop shop, one stop shop.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You get it all. You've got the detention facility, you've
got the airport. Can the federal government make good use
of this?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
We sure can talk about efficiency right then and there,
But also I want to talk about the funding for this.
Some of it will be paid by the State of Florida,
but a lot of it will be paid by the
federal government. We're actually looking at a FEMA to fund
this through the Shelter and Services Program, which we saw
in the Biden administration, that funding was bastardized to use
for places like the Roosevelt Hotel, which is the place
that housed trend A Rago is really the base of
(12:51):
operations there as well as Lake and Riley's Killer. So
we're going to take that funding and actually house these
illegal aliens before we get them out the door and
out of our country, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Not not everybody's looking at his facility. Is the great
thing that Ron de Status believes that it is. Alejandro Frost,
Democrat from Florida, said this, They target migrants, rip families apart,
and subject people to conditions that amount to physical and
psychological torture and facilities that can only be described as.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Hell on earth.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Now they want to erect tents in the blazing Everglades
sun and call it immigration enforcement. They don't care if
people de live or die. They only care about cruelty
and spectacle. Now we should put out that Rod de
Status today, when he was talking to Steve Doocey said
that that airport and facilities just like it are often
used to stage first responders during hurricane emergencies, So I'm
not quite sure what the good congressman is doing.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, our ice facilities have higher stanierds than a lot
of US detention facilities for actual American citizens, so that's ridiculous.
He doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. But oh,
by the way, Americans should know that seventy percent of
illegal aliens who have been arrested under this administration actually
have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. So this is
all just himplying gutter politics and can continuing to villainize
(14:01):
our ice enforcement officers is contributing to the fact that
five hundred percent increase in assaults against our brave men
and women in law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I also want to ask you about this because last weekend,
DHS put out a warning about possible threats to the
homeland from Iranian sleeper sales or people affiliated with them.
With the ceasefire, now in places that threat diministers is
still out there.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's still out there, but there's not an active alert.
So we just want people to stay vigilant. We want
our law enforcement to be vigilant. But as we enter
the July fourth holiday, people should be enjoying celebrate this country.
We have a wonderful, safe country, and we encourage people
to go out and celebrate, and our law enforcement, homeland
security investigators. You know, it wasn't just June twenty first
(14:44):
without operation in Iran. We have been on top of
it from the start making sure these Iranian sleeper cells
are caught, arrested, and removed from this country.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You listen to all that she was saying there.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I mean, we're not just talking about national security issues
from the human t akers, the sex traffickers, the list
goes on and on. We're also talking about these Iranian
sleeper cells that are a threat to our national security.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'll go to another story that came out this week.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
There was a Biden era missing migrant children hotline that
were now finding out apparently went unanswered. Largely when people called,
they had children that they released to non family members,
and then when they would go to check on those children,
(15:38):
they were.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Nowhere were to be found.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This is the Democratic Party because they wanted to flood
this country with illegals.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
The DHS finding more than thirteen thousand unaccompanied migrant children
that were placed with unvetted sponsors throughout the US. This
comes one week after a witness in a household land
security hearing described just how little help those children received
under Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
There was also a Notice of Concern hotline where people
could report concerns about the unaccompanied child's safety. But what
this administration found was from August twenty twenty three to
January of twenty twenty five, sixty five thousand calls went unanswered.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
That witnesses Ali Hopper, founder of Guard Against Trafficking, and
she joins us. Now when I saw this, I wasn't surprised,
but I was enraged Ali. How could they not answer
calls from children? They gave the number two in case
you're exploited, and they called and said I'm being sexually exploited,
(16:42):
and no one answered their messages.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Rachel, You're exactly correct.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
This hotline was set up as one of the many
safeguards that were put in place, and unfortunately, when the
policy on paper, when these safeguards are put in place
on paper only, but they're not intended to be followed
up on or function per operly, this is what happens.
And what's more horrifying is that these calls wouldn't have
been even responded to, like the call that I mentioned
(17:08):
in my testimony where a child called saying that grown
men were coming into his room at night and they
were touching him. This administration went through every single one
of those calls, and that child was rescued and that
sponsor was arrested. But if we hadn't had this administration
win take over and try to undo what the past
(17:29):
administration did, those calls would have remained unanswered.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well, God bless everyone who's going through that list of calls,
those unanswered calls and trying to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I want you imagine you're in the government and now
your job is to try to go back and track
down the kids that were trying to call telling you
that they were being sexually assaulted. They were given a
number to call if they needed help. They called the
damn number they were set up by the Biden administration,
and no one was there to answer their calls.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Can we just think about what that means.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Can you imagine being a kid and you get into
the US government custody right like we've found you, and
then we release you to someone that's not a family member,
and we give you a number and we tell you
to call this number. If there is a problem. If
(18:25):
there is an issue, just call this number. If there's
something happening we need to know about, just call this number.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And you call it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And you're needing help. You're a child, you're being sexually assaulted.
You need a child. Like you're a child, you need help.
You're calling an adult. You're not an just adult. You're
calling the government that gave you the number that's supposed
to be protecting you.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And no one's answering the phone.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And now there's somebody out there who's having to try
to find you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Now, who's trying to like.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
After the fact, after the fact, they're trying to find
you because the last administration deliberately looked the other way
on purpose. I want to take you back in history
for just a moment. You may remember when President Donald
Trump ran for office, one of the things he promised
when he was going to clean up waste fraud and abuse. Now,
(19:20):
when did our government get really big into waste fraud
and abuse.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
A lot of it actually.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Happened when President Barack Obama was in office, because he
understood that it's easier to buy votes than to convince people.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
To vote for you for actual policy. Reasons.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You may remember the perfect example of buying votes a
woman that became famous for her reason for voting for
Barack Obama over a guy by the name of Mitt Romney.
Let me be clear, I'm not advocating for voting for
Mitt Romney for anything. We now know what a disaster
he was, but at the time hebviously he was willing
(20:00):
to do a lot better job for this country than
Barack Obama. Insert September twenty six of twenty twelve and
the famous woman who loved her Obama phonea you got
Obama phone?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yes, everybody in Cleveland's Oh my nord, he got Obama fall.
Keep a woman president. You know he gave us a phone.
He gave you a pullet. Let he give you a phone.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You've signed up during you a full stemps well social charity,
you got loading?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Come you disability? Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Romney?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He sucks me? There it is. The woman made it clear,
you can buy my vote.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
The Obama phone was real, and it was a way
to buy votes, and the Democratic Party was giving out
those Obama phones and free sales service each and every month.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, fast forward to where we are today.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hey, and we know a lot more about how corrupt
the program actually was. The Obama phones it was also
a big scam, and a Florida ceo is now headed
to prison and has been ordered to pay one hundred
and twenty eight million dollars in fines after quote defrauding
(21:23):
the government. And we're also being told this may be
the tip of the iceberg. The owner of a Florida
telecommunications company will spend the next five years in prison.
That's it, only five years, and his firm must pay
a hefty fine.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Regarding the Obama phone scam.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Q Link Wireless LLC and its owner identified as a
CEO isa Asad previously pled guilty to conspiring to commit
wired fraud and still federal funds from the Lifeline program
that originally began in the nineteen eighties to offer home
(22:04):
phone service to those that were in need so they
could call nine one one. Well, the program offered subsidized
cell phone service, then to lower income.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
People, and then free phones.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And in that twenty twelve video, you had that protester
emerging outside of Mitt Rodney event who claimed her neighborhood
received the an Obama phone.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Everybody's got one. Every minority.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
When asked why don't you supported Obama, the woman said,
everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Keep Obama in president. You know, he gave us the phone.
He's going to do more now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This clip was really the first time many Americans ever
heard about the abuse in this program, and the name Obama.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Phone caught on.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
After the video went viral, some telecommunications companies with Lifeline
contracts embraced the term as a marketing The government, by
the way, did not go back to twenty thirteen, Breitbart
News reported the opposition to the Lifeline program was growing,
(23:12):
as Track Phone Wireless, the company that most benefited from
the government's upse is now advertising on the inside the
beltwagh news websites in an effort to quote unquote save it.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You go to the Fox article and it now says
that a Side was sentenced.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
To prison and he along with his company, must pay
one hundred and twenty eight million dollars in fines. In
a press release on Friday, the US Attorney's Office for
the Southern District of Florida shared more details about the
case and just how bad the fraud may be. Aside
to fraud in another federal government program that states the
(23:50):
Paycheck Protection Program, also known as PPP by making false
statements about q Link's business. You may remember created PPP
and it was filled with waste, fraud, and abuse during
the COVID nineteen pandemic to authorize forgivable loans to small
businesses for job retention as well as quote other expenses aside,
(24:16):
the q links name executive executed a fraudulent scheme to
obtain and.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Keep PPP proceeds.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
To further the scheme, aside mays false statements about q
Link's business, including a false claim that q Link's lifeline
reimbursement substantially decrease because of the pandemic. Aside then in
twenty twenty one, engaged in an unlawful financial transaction involving
approximately three hundred and eighty nine thousand of those proceeds
(24:48):
aside spent PPP loan proceeds on a land rover payment,
his personal AMEX card, jewelry, and personal property taxes. Was
reportedly charged with murder several years ago in connection with
driving over a grounds keeper at his business.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Per another Fox article.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He later pled note pleaded no contest to misdemeanor culporable
negligence and was slapped with one year of probation in
order to pay just.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
A one hundred and twenty five dollars fine.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
The outlet said, proof if you've got really good lawyers,
you can get away with a hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
As for the Obama phone scam.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The four to CEO at least is headed to prison
and we'll pay, in theory one hundred and twenty eight
million dollars in fines for defrauding the American taxpayer. But
is this program still going yes? Is the program still
corrupt as hell?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
And is it time that the Trump administration look into it?
You better believe it, and there's a very good chance
that's exactly what's happening right now. Make sure you share
this podcast with your family and friends, put it up
on social media wherever you are, and we appreciate you
listening every day.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
I want to talk about some new news and data
that is coming out that is going to shock or
should shock every American. Unfortunately, the media is refusing to
cover it. ICE arrest are happening at record pace, and
it's not just random people. ICE has now arrested over
(00:21):
two hundred illegal alien child sex offenders in the Houston,
Texas area alone.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I want to say that again.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
ICE has arrested over two hundred illegal alien child sex
offenders in Houston alone, not the country, not the state
of Texas, in one city. This coming from US Immigration
and Customs Enforcement saying it this way. US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement has arrested two hundred and fourteen illegal aliens
(00:59):
for immigration offenses in the Houston area who have been
charged or convicted of a sex offense involving a minor.
The two hundred and fourteen arrests were more than the
Houston Field Office arrested during the entire twenty twenty four
fiscal year when officers they are arrested two hundred and
(01:21):
eleven illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offenses.
The surge and arrests over the last six months of
illegal aliens charged with theyre convicted of child sex offenses
a direct result of a whole of government approach implemented
under the Trump administration that has now led to the
(01:42):
establishment of multi agency targeting teams in each area of responsibility.
Now these teams conduct daily enhanced immigration enforcement operations targeting
the worst of the worst criminal aliens, something that the
President promised when he was running for president, and yes,
(02:05):
making good on that promise. They are targeting the worst,
the worst criminal alians for one reason arrest and then
the second reason is removal. In Southeast Texas, those efforts
have resulted in an increase in arrests of all quote
dangerous criminal aliens, leading to safer communities, stronger national security,
(02:28):
and enhance border security as well, saying this, bringing together
the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement
community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that
we saw over the past four years has resulted in
the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens,
(02:51):
transnational gang members, and child sex offenders. That is what
ICE enforcement and remove operations, Houston Acting Field Director Paul
McBride said in his statement. He continued by saying this,
while we still have a long way to go to
truly get this crisis under control. The strides we have
(03:13):
made in just the last six months to make our
local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to
work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the
worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our
communities to places we can all enjoy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now. Among the illegal aliens that we're charged.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Or convicted of a child sex offense who were arrested
by the ICE Houston Field Office in the past six months,
here are some of the worst.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
A man by the name of Jesus Coutierrez.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He was a sixty seven year old three times deported
criminal alien from Mexico. He was arrested in March of
twenty eighth and has been convicted of aggravated sexual assault
of a child. He's also been convicted of while intoxicated.
ICE removed the man to Mexico April the fourth. George Zebra,
(04:09):
a forty eight year old criminal alien from Mexico, was
arrested March to twenty first. He's now been convicted of
not one, but two counts of aggravated sexual assault of
a minor in sexual indecency with a miner. ICE has
removed him to Mexico March the twenty fourth as well.
Manuel Antonio Castro, a thirty seven year old, has also
(04:33):
a rap sheet twice deported criminal alien, this time from
Al Salvador.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
He was arrested July.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The eighteenth and has been convicted of sexual assault of
a minor and twice for I legal reentry. He remains
in ICE custody, pinning his third removal to El Salvador.
Jose Mesa is a forty year old four time deported
criminal alien from Mexico who is yet again arrested said
(05:00):
June the twenty fourth. He's been convicted of He's been
convicted of theft and sexual assault of a child. Ice
removed the man to Mexico June the twenty fifth. Sergio Rolando,
a forty five year old three time deported criminal alien
from Mexico who has arrested June the twelfth, has been
convicted of DWI and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's been removed to Mexico July the fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now you look at the difference now between what's happening
and over the last four years, federal law enforcement agencies
have been contributed to the multi agency targeting teams, including
the Houston Office of the FBI, the Houston Office of
the ATF, the Houston Office of the DA, and the
US Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Diplomat's
(05:52):
Security Services and the US Marshall Service. You add in
state and local law enforcement agencies that have also asses.
You look at this and this I go back to
what I said is just in one city, two hundred
and fourteen illegal aliens have been arrested for immigration offense
in the Houston area in the past six months, and
(06:14):
they've been charged or convicted of sex offenses involving miners.
They got to ask you a question, are you one
of those that is just so tired of giving your
money to radical left woke companies that actually are fighting
against your values every day?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, there are certain bills that.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
You pay every month that if you can go with
a conservative company, why not do it? In fact, why
not go with a conservative company that actually takes part
of your bill every month that you're going to pay
to somebody and they give it back to organizations that
support your First and your Second Amendment rights, that support
the rights of unborn children that stand with our military,
(06:53):
are first responders, and so many wounded warriors that need help. Well,
that bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill.
And I've been telling you for a long time about
Patriot Mobile. But there's no better time to switch than
right now. Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all
three major networks in this country, yeah, all three. That
(07:14):
means you get the same great coverage you're used to
right now, but you also make a difference with every
call you make and every text you make.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And why would you want to give your mond a
big mobile?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Big Mobile has been giving big donations to democratic causes,
democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations
that actually support abortion. That is why I want you
to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go ahead and
make the switch, And it's so easy. All you have
(07:45):
to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles one hundred percent
US based team from the comfort of your home or
your office, and they'll have you activated in minutes. And
if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.
Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up to five hundred
dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
or upgrade, do a new one. So back to my point,
(08:06):
what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
make a difference every single day with every call you make.
Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot
com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot. And
if you use the promo code ferguson, you're gonna get
a free month of service on top of that. Patriot
(08:28):
Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven two Patriot.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven
to two Patriot. This is who the Biden administration was
allowing into our country on purpose.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
They knew that these people were in this country.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They knew that they were flooding our cities, and they
knew that sanctuary policies and sanctuary cities were actually protecting
that's right, protecting these individuals from accountabil.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And also deportation.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
These two hundred and fourteen illegal alien child sex offenders
knew they were safe in the United States of America
under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I want you to think about what that means.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The worst of the worst is who they're going after
not just in Houston, but also around the country. The
Department of Homeland Security is also doing things like Alligator Alcatraz,
the migrant facility, talking about opening up Alcatraz again.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And why are they doing this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They're doing it for one reason, as a deterrent, to
make it very clear that in this country right now,
if you are an illegal immigrant, especially an illegal immigrant
that is abusing children or any other human being, we
are coming after you. The other thing the President has
(09:56):
said is we need to well turbocharge ICE arrests and deportations.
The left here is that and they lose their mind.
They say it's insane. Well, ICE is now revealing many
of the worst of the worst I legal immigrants arrested
in cities all over the country, including convicted child rapists, arsonists,
(10:19):
and human smugglers. The President of the United States of
America making it clear this is why he was elected
and he's going to stop at nothing to protect you
and your families from these monsters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I want you to listen to part of the plan here.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Department of Home and Security Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin
went on Fox News to talk about in US since
Phase two now what is phase two.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Phase two is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Doing everything we can to get these violent criminals off
the streets. Listen carefully, Let's let's bring in Tricia McLoughlin.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
She is the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary. So
I've got some pictures of Alligator Alcatraz that we want
to put up here because it's fast under construction. DeSantis
was saying this morning on Fox and Friends. They hope
to have it done by Tuesday. This is a facility,
it's being partially funded by the federal government. A lot
of cooperation between Florida and the Feds. How does this
(11:16):
facility fit into everything that you're trying to do on
a national level.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, since day one, Secretary Noome has called on the
state and local governments, Hey, we need help with detention beds.
That is a key operational lynch pin and getting these
arrests and deportations turbocharge, because we need somewhere to house
these aliens until we can actually get them out of
the country. So this will give us up to five
thousand new beds. Florida has been a fantastic partner in
(11:39):
this incredibly innovative and we hope to see more of
this from our state and local partners. But we also
have to get that big beautiful bill pass because that's
going to give us over one hundred thousand detention bed capacity,
and that doubles what we can do really turbo charge
those arrest numbers.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So this is this facility is being built out at
a training airport, which is right along the day Call
your account line. I've driven past it many times on
the Tammiami Trail. Here's what Ron Desanta said. This facility
is capable of listening here.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
This is going to be able to have more than
three thousand illegals.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It can be processed through here. We've got a.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Massive runway right behind us where any of the federal
assets that they want to fly these people back to
their home country, they can do it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
One stop shop, one stop shop.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You get it all. You've got the detention facility, you've
got the airport. Can the federal government make good use
of this?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
We sure can talk about efficiency right then and there,
But also I want to talk about the funding for this.
Some of it will be paid by the State of Florida,
but a lot of it will be paid by the
federal government. We're actually looking at a FEMA to fund
this through the Shelter and Services Program, which we saw
in the Biden administration, that funding was bastardized to use
for places like the Roosevelt Hotel, which is the place
that housed trend A Rago is really the base of
(12:51):
operations there as well as Lake and Riley's Killer. So
we're going to take that funding and actually house these
illegal aliens before we get them out the door and
out of our country, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Not not everybody's looking at his facility. Is the great
thing that Ron de Status believes that it is. Alejandro Frost,
Democrat from Florida, said this, They target migrants, rip families apart,
and subject people to conditions that amount to physical and
psychological torture and facilities that can only be described as.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Hell on earth.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Now they want to erect tents in the blazing Everglades
sun and call it immigration enforcement. They don't care if
people de live or die. They only care about cruelty
and spectacle. Now we should put out that Rod de
Status today, when he was talking to Steve Doocey said
that that airport and facilities just like it are often
used to stage first responders during hurricane emergencies, So I'm
not quite sure what the good congressman is doing.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, our ice facilities have higher stanierds than a lot
of US detention facilities for actual American citizens, so that's ridiculous.
He doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. But oh,
by the way, Americans should know that seventy percent of
illegal aliens who have been arrested under this administration actually
have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. So this is
all just himplying gutter politics and can continuing to villainize
(14:01):
our ice enforcement officers is contributing to the fact that
five hundred percent increase in assaults against our brave men
and women in law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I also want to ask you about this because last weekend,
DHS put out a warning about possible threats to the
homeland from Iranian sleeper sales or people affiliated with them.
With the ceasefire, now in places that threat diministers is
still out there.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's still out there, but there's not an active alert.
So we just want people to stay vigilant. We want
our law enforcement to be vigilant. But as we enter
the July fourth holiday, people should be enjoying celebrate this country.
We have a wonderful, safe country, and we encourage people
to go out and celebrate, and our law enforcement, homeland
security investigators. You know, it wasn't just June twenty first
(14:44):
without operation in Iran. We have been on top of
it from the start making sure these Iranian sleeper cells
are caught, arrested, and removed from this country.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You listen to all that she was saying there.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I mean, we're not just talking about national security issues
from the human t akers, the sex traffickers, the list
goes on and on. We're also talking about these Iranian
sleeper cells that are a threat to our national security.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'll go to another story that came out this week.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
There was a Biden era missing migrant children hotline that
were now finding out apparently went unanswered. Largely when people called,
they had children that they released to non family members,
and then when they would go to check on those children,
(15:38):
they were.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Nowhere were to be found.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This is the Democratic Party because they wanted to flood
this country with illegals.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
The DHS finding more than thirteen thousand unaccompanied migrant children
that were placed with unvetted sponsors throughout the US. This
comes one week after a witness in a household land
security hearing described just how little help those children received
under Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
There was also a Notice of Concern hotline where people
could report concerns about the unaccompanied child's safety. But what
this administration found was from August twenty twenty three to
January of twenty twenty five, sixty five thousand calls went unanswered.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
That witnesses Ali Hopper, founder of Guard Against Trafficking, and
she joins us. Now when I saw this, I wasn't surprised,
but I was enraged Ali. How could they not answer
calls from children? They gave the number two in case
you're exploited, and they called and said I'm being sexually exploited,
(16:42):
and no one answered their messages.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Rachel, You're exactly correct.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
This hotline was set up as one of the many
safeguards that were put in place, and unfortunately, when the
policy on paper, when these safeguards are put in place
on paper only, but they're not intended to be followed
up on or function per operly, this is what happens.
And what's more horrifying is that these calls wouldn't have
been even responded to, like the call that I mentioned
(17:08):
in my testimony where a child called saying that grown
men were coming into his room at night and they
were touching him. This administration went through every single one
of those calls, and that child was rescued and that
sponsor was arrested. But if we hadn't had this administration
win take over and try to undo what the past
(17:29):
administration did, those calls would have remained unanswered.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Well, God bless everyone who's going through that list of calls,
those unanswered calls and trying to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I want you imagine you're in the government and now
your job is to try to go back and track
down the kids that were trying to call telling you
that they were being sexually assaulted. They were given a
number to call if they needed help. They called the
damn number they were set up by the Biden administration,
and no one was there to answer their calls.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Can we just think about what that means.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Can you imagine being a kid and you get into
the US government custody right like we've found you, and
then we release you to someone that's not a family member,
and we give you a number and we tell you
to call this number. If there is a problem. If
(18:25):
there is an issue, just call this number. If there's
something happening we need to know about, just call this number.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And you call it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And you're needing help. You're a child, you're being sexually assaulted.
You need a child. Like you're a child, you need help.
You're calling an adult. You're not an just adult. You're
calling the government that gave you the number that's supposed
to be protecting you.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And no one's answering the phone.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And now there's somebody out there who's having to try
to find you.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Now, who's trying to like.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
After the fact, after the fact, they're trying to find
you because the last administration deliberately looked the other way
on purpose. I want to take you back in history
for just a moment. You may remember when President Donald
Trump ran for office, one of the things he promised
when he was going to clean up waste fraud and abuse. Now,
(19:20):
when did our government get really big into waste fraud
and abuse.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
A lot of it actually.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Happened when President Barack Obama was in office, because he
understood that it's easier to buy votes than to convince people.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
To vote for you for actual policy. Reasons.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You may remember the perfect example of buying votes a
woman that became famous for her reason for voting for
Barack Obama over a guy by the name of Mitt Romney.
Let me be clear, I'm not advocating for voting for
Mitt Romney for anything. We now know what a disaster
he was, but at the time hebviously he was willing
(20:00):
to do a lot better job for this country than
Barack Obama. Insert September twenty six of twenty twelve and
the famous woman who loved her Obama phonea you got
Obama phone?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yes, everybody in Cleveland's Oh my nord, he got Obama fall.
Keep a woman president. You know he gave us a phone.
He gave you a pullet. Let he give you a phone.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You've signed up during you a full stemps well social charity,
you got loading?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Come you disability? Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Romney?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He sucks me? There it is. The woman made it clear,
you can buy my vote.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
The Obama phone was real, and it was a way
to buy votes, and the Democratic Party was giving out
those Obama phones and free sales service each and every month.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, fast forward to where we are today.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hey, and we know a lot more about how corrupt
the program actually was. The Obama phones it was also
a big scam, and a Florida ceo is now headed
to prison and has been ordered to pay one hundred
and twenty eight million dollars in fines after quote defrauding
(21:23):
the government. And we're also being told this may be
the tip of the iceberg. The owner of a Florida
telecommunications company will spend the next five years in prison.
That's it, only five years, and his firm must pay
a hefty fine.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Regarding the Obama phone scam.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Q Link Wireless LLC and its owner identified as a
CEO isa Asad previously pled guilty to conspiring to commit
wired fraud and still federal funds from the Lifeline program
that originally began in the nineteen eighties to offer home
(22:04):
phone service to those that were in need so they
could call nine one one. Well, the program offered subsidized
cell phone service, then to lower income.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
People, and then free phones.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And in that twenty twelve video, you had that protester
emerging outside of Mitt Rodney event who claimed her neighborhood
received the an Obama phone.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Everybody's got one. Every minority.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
When asked why don't you supported Obama, the woman said,
everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Keep Obama in president. You know, he gave us the phone.
He's going to do more now.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This clip was really the first time many Americans ever
heard about the abuse in this program, and the name Obama.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Phone caught on.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
After the video went viral, some telecommunications companies with Lifeline
contracts embraced the term as a marketing The government, by
the way, did not go back to twenty thirteen, Breitbart
News reported the opposition to the Lifeline program was growing,
(23:12):
as Track Phone Wireless, the company that most benefited from
the government's upse is now advertising on the inside the
beltwagh news websites in an effort to quote unquote save it.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You go to the Fox article and it now says
that a Side was sentenced.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
To prison and he along with his company, must pay
one hundred and twenty eight million dollars in fines. In
a press release on Friday, the US Attorney's Office for
the Southern District of Florida shared more details about the
case and just how bad the fraud may be. Aside
to fraud in another federal government program that states the
(23:50):
Paycheck Protection Program, also known as PPP by making false
statements about q Link's business. You may remember created PPP
and it was filled with waste, fraud, and abuse during
the COVID nineteen pandemic to authorize forgivable loans to small
businesses for job retention as well as quote other expenses aside,
(24:16):
the q links name executive executed a fraudulent scheme to
obtain and.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Keep PPP proceeds.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
To further the scheme, aside mays false statements about q
Link's business, including a false claim that q Link's lifeline
reimbursement substantially decrease because of the pandemic. Aside then in
twenty twenty one, engaged in an unlawful financial transaction involving
approximately three hundred and eighty nine thousand of those proceeds
(24:48):
aside spent PPP loan proceeds on a land rover payment,
his personal AMEX card, jewelry, and personal property taxes. Was
reportedly charged with murder several years ago in connection with
driving over a grounds keeper at his business.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Per another Fox article.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He later pled note pleaded no contest to misdemeanor culporable
negligence and was slapped with one year of probation in
order to pay just.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
A one hundred and twenty five dollars fine.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
The outlet said, proof if you've got really good lawyers,
you can get away with a hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
As for the Obama phone scam.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The four to CEO at least is headed to prison
and we'll pay, in theory one hundred and twenty eight
million dollars in fines for defrauding the American taxpayer. But
is this program still going yes? Is the program still
corrupt as hell?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
And is it time that the Trump administration look into it?
You better believe it, and there's a very good chance
that's exactly what's happening right now. Make sure you share
this podcast with your family and friends, put it up
on social media wherever you are, and we appreciate you
listening every day.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
