Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to take you back in history for just
a moment.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
You may remember when President Donald Trump ran for office,
one of the things he promised what he was going
to clean.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Up waste fraud and abuse.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Now, when did our government get really big into waste
fraud and abuse.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
A lot of it actually happened when President Barack.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Obama was in office, because he understood that it's easier
to buy votes than to convince people to vote for
you for actual policy reasons. 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

(00:43):
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, he obviously was willing to do a lot
better job for this country.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Than Barack Obama.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Insert September the twenty six of twenty twelve and the
famous woman who loved her Obama phone.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
You got Obama phone?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yes, everybody in Cleveland, Oh my nod, he got Obama fall.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Keep a woman president. You know, he gave us a phone.
He gave you a bone let.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
He give you a phone, you've signed up hearing you
a full stemps, a social charity, you got load income,
you disability?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, what's wrong with Romney again?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Roney?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
He sucks me. There it is. The woman made it clear,
you can buy my vote.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
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. Well,
fast forward to where we are today, and we know
a lot more about how corrupt the program actually was.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
The Obama it was.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
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 the government. And we're also being told this may
be the tip of the iceberg. The owner of a

(02:24):
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 regarding the Obama phone scam. Q Link
Wireless LLC and its owner identified as a CEO isa Asad,

(02:45):
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 phone service to
those that were in need so they could call nine
one one. Well, the program offered subsidized cell phone service,

(03:07):
then to lower income people, and then free phones. 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. Everybody's got one, every minority. When
asked why don't you supported Obama, the woman said, everybody
in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Keep Obama in president. You know, he gave us the phone.
He's gonna do more. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
This clip was really the first time many Americans ever
heard about the abuse in this program, and the name
Obama phone caught on after the video went viral. Some
telecommunications companies with Lifeline contracts embraced the term as a
marketing ploint. The government, by the way, did not go

(03:58):
back to twenty thirteen, Breitbart News reported the opposition to
the Lifeline program was growing, as Track Phone Wireless, the
company that most benefited from the government's upse is now
advertising on the inside the Beltway news websites in an
effort to quote unquote save it.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
You go to the Fox article and it now says
that a Side was sentenced.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
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

(04:44):
Paycheck Protection Program, also known as PPP, by making false
statements about q Link's business, Congress you may remember created
PPP and it was filled with waste, fraud, and abuse
during the COVID Ninete Team pandemic to authorize forgivable loans
to small businesses for job retention as well as quote

(05:07):
other expenses. Aside, the q Link's name executive executed a
fraudulent scheme to obtain and keep PPP proceeds. To further
the scheme, Aside made 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,

(05:33):
engaged in an unlawful financial transaction involving approximately three hundred
and eighty nine thousand of those proceeds. Aside spent PPP
loan proceeds on a land rover, payment, his personal AMEX card, jewelry,
and personal property taxes. Aside was reportedly charged with murder

(05:56):
several years ago in connection with driving over a grounds
keeper at his business.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Per another Fox article.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
He later pled note, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor culpable negligence,
and was slapped with one year of probation in order
to pay just a one hundred and twenty five dollars fine.
The outlet said, proof if you've got really good lawyers,
you can get away with a hell of a lot.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
As for the Obama phone scam, the.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
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 1 (06:44):
Yes? And is it time that the Trump administration look
into it?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
You better believe it, And there's a very good chance
that's exactly what's happening right now. All right, I want
to take a moment talk about the economy. You've been
seeing what's happening on Wall Street, You've seen what's been
happening with interest rates, and you've probably seen gold prices
hitting all time record highs. Why because there is uncertainty
all over the world right now, and when there is

(07:11):
uncertain times, you want real answers about your financial stability. Well,
at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals, you get more than gold

overpriced quote collectibles or gimmick products that cost you an

actually sell. They also have upfront transparent pricing just eight
percent when you buy and zero commissions when you go

Speaker 1 (09:14):
I want to talk about.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Some new news and data that is coming out that
is going to shock or should shock every American.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Unfortunately, the media is refusing to cover it.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
ICE arrest are happening at record pace, and it's not
just random people. ICE has now arrested over two hundred
illegal alien child sex offenders in the Houston, Texas area alone.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I want to say that again.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
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

(10:12):
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 eleven

(10:35):
illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offenses. The
surge and arrests over the last six months of illegal
aliens charged with or convicted of child sex offense as
a direct result of a whole of government approach implemented
under the Trump administration that has now led to the

(10:56):
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,

(11:18):
making good on that promise. They are targeting the worst,
the worst criminal aliens 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,

(11:41):
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 his historic numbers of violent

(12:03):
criminal aliens, transnational gang members, and child sex offenders. That
is what ICE Enforcement and removal operations Houston Acting Field
Director Paul McBride said 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

(12:26):
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, the worst
criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities
to places we can all enjoy.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Among the illegal aliens that we're charged 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 1 (12:55):
A man by the name of Jesus Kutirez.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
He was a sixty seven year old three times deported
criminal alien from Mexico. He was arrested March to twenty
eighth and has been convicted of aggravated.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Sexual assault of a child.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
He's also been convicted of driving while intoxicated. ICE removed
the man to Mexico April to fourth. George Zebra, a
forty eight year old criminal alien from Mexico, was arrested
March to twenty first.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
He's now been convicted of not one but two counts.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of aggravated sexual assault of a minor in sexual indecency
with a minor. ICE has removed him to Mexico March
to twenty fourth as well. Manuel Antonio Castro, a thirty
seven year old has also a rap sheet twice deported
criminal alien, this time from Al Salvador.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
He was arrested July.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
The eighteenth and has been convicted of sexual assault of
a minor and twice for illegal re entry. 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 has yet again arrested June

(14:13):
the twenty fourth.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
He's been convicted of He's been convicted of theft and
sexual assault of a child.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Ice removed the man to Mexico June the twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Sergio Rolando, a forty five.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
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. He's been removed
to Mexico July the fourteenth. Now you look at the
difference now between what's happening and over the last four years,

(14:49):
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 ATA, the Houston Office of
the DA, and the US Customs and Border Protection, as
well as the Diplomats Security Services and the US Marshall Service.
You add in state and local law enforcement agencies that

(15:12):
have also assisted ice. 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 they've been charged or convicted of
sex offenses involving miners. They got to ask you a question,

(15:34):
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 1 (15:42):
Well, there are certain bills that you pay.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Every month that if you can go with a conservative company,
why not do it? In fact, why not go with
a conservative company 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, are first responders and so

(16:09):
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.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, all three.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
That 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. And
why would you want to give your money to Big Mobile?
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

(16:51):
to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go ahead and
make the switch, And it's so easy. All you have
to do is simply call Patriot moble's 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

(17:13):
dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
or upgrade do a new one. So back to my point,
what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
make a difference every single day with every call you make.

com slash ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot

(17:36):
and if you use the promo code ferguson, you're gonna
get a free month of service on top of that
Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to
two Patriot. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or
ninety seven to two Patriot. This is who the Biden
administration was allowing into our country on purpose.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
They knew that these people were in this country.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
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 accountability and also deportation.
These two hundred and fourteen illegal alien child sex offenders

(18:20):
knew they were safe in the United States of America
under the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
I want you to think about what that means.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
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 1 (18:48):
And why are they doing this.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
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, a specially an illegal
immigrant that is abusing children or any other human being,
we are coming after you. The other thing the President

(19:10):
has 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 illegal immigrants
arrested in cities all over the country, including convicted child rapists, arsonists,

(19:32):
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 1 (19:46):
I want you to listen to part of the plan here.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
The Department of Home Security Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin went
on Fox News to talk about in US since phase two.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Now, what is phase two? Phase two is.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Doing everything we can to get these violet criminals off
the streets.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Listen carefully, Let's bring in Tricia McLoughlin.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
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

(20:29):
facility fit into everything that you're trying to do on
a national level.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Well, since day one, Secretary Nome 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 this,

(20:53):
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 get of us over one hundred thousand detention bed
capacity and that doubles what we can do really turbo
charge those arrest numbers.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
So this is this facility is being built out at
a training airport which is right along the DAID call
your County 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 2 (21:21):
This is going to be able to have more than
three thousand illegals.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
It can be processed through here.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
We've got a massive runway right behind us where any
of the federal.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Assets that they want to fly these people back to
their home country, they can do it.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
One stop shop, one stop shop.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
You got it all.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
You've got the detention facility, You've got the airport. Can
the federal government make good use of this?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
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 bastardised to use
for places like the Roosevelt Hotel, which is the place
that housed trend A. Rago is really the base of

(22:04):
operations there, as well as Lake and Riley's killer. So
we're going to take that funding and actually house these
legal aliens before we get them out the door and
out of our country.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
All right, Now, not everybody's looking at this facility as
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 hell on Earth. Now they want to
erect tents in the blazing Everglades sun and call it

(22:32):
immigration enforcement. They don't care if people live or die.
They only care about cruelty and spectacle. Now we should
pte 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 3 (22:51):
Yeah, our ice facilities have higher standards 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
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 him playing gutter politics, and his continuing to

(23:14):
villainize 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 4 (23:22):
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 cells or people affiliated with them.
With the ceasefire, now in places that threat diministers is
still out there.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
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, our
homeland security investigators. You know, it wasn't just June twenty

(23:57):
first without operation in Iran. We have been on top
of it from the start, making sure these Iranian sleeper
cells are arrested and removed from this country.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
You listened to all that she was saying there.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I mean, we're not just talking about national security issues
from the human traffickers, 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 1 (24:24):
I'll go to another story that came out this week.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
There was a Biden era missing migrant children hotline that
we're 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,

(24:52):
they were nowhere. It would be found this is the
Democratic Party because they wanted to flood this country with illegals.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
HS 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 6 (25:17):
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 5 (25:35):
That witness is Ali Hopper, founder of Guard Against Trafficking,
and she joins us. Now, when I saw this, I
wasn't surprised, but I was enraged.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ali.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
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, and no one answered
their messages.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Rachel, You're exactly correct.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
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 functioned properly, 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 in

(26:21):
my testimony, were 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 administration did.

(26:43):
Those calls would have remained unanswered.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Well, God bless everyone who's going through that list of calls,
those unanswered calls, and trying to do something about it.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
I want you imagine you're in the government and now
your job is to try to go back and track
down the care 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 was set up by the Biden administration,
and no one was there to answer their calls.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Can we just think about what that means.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Can you imagine being a kid and you get into
the US government custody right like we 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

(27:39):
there is an issue, just call this number. If there's
