Speaker 1 (00:01):
Senator Josh Holly has not only launched an investigation to
who's funding the LA riots, but we're getting breaking news
right now that the list has expanded from what happened
earlier in the day. Senator Josh Holly, who chairs US
in a Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism, launching
(00:22):
this new investigation into who is funding the Los Angeles
riots and other riots that are now breaking out around
the country. Now, what we knew earlier was this there
was a target, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of
Los Angeles. It's a non profit pro immigration group. The
(00:43):
allegation was very clear they may have provided logistical support
and financial resources to individuals involved in the protests and
escalated it into riots, obviously on purpose. Now, the formal
requests he sent to this group and the executive director
to the man in the preservation and the production of
financial documents and donor lists, travel and coordination records and
(01:07):
documents related to protest planning from November fifth of twenty
twenty four to the present. Well here is now what
has happened since that first letter. Holly's office has now
come out saying we are launching investigation to other groups
as well. Not just the original one named. Who else
(01:28):
is being added well, the Party for Socialism and Liberation
out of San Francisco, California. The letter reads this way,
to whom it may concern, I write, in my capacity
is the chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and
counter Terrorism, regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and
material support coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los
(01:53):
Angeles in recent weeks. While peaceful protests is a cornerstone
of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions.
They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and
disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable and
it must end. He also stated, this credible reporting now
(02:17):
suggests that your organization, the Party for Socialism and Liberation,
has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals that
are engaged in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear,
bank rolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is
aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease
(02:40):
and assist any further involvement in these organizations in the organization, funding,
or promotion of these unlawful activities. Now there's a long
list of things that Holly is asking for, including all
internal communications including emails, text messages, chat law messaging apps,
(03:02):
relate to the protests related to the planning, the coordination,
or funding. He is also demanding that all financial documents
related to the protests, the demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in
LA are elsewhere in the country relating to immigration enforcement.
He also said if there are any third party contacts
or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers, transportation providers,
(03:28):
security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration enforcement or
the Los Angeles protests or similar protests elsewhere. He also
asked for grant applications and funding proposals that relate to
or reference immigration enforcement, as well as travel and lodging
(03:50):
records for individuals or groups supported or reimbursed in connection
with protests activities. He also said we must have media
or public relationship strategies, including your talking points, press releases,
and coordination with journalists or influencers related to immigration protests.
And finally, the big one, yet again, the donor list.
(04:13):
Josh Holly, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime and
counter Terrorism in the US Senate, said failure to comply
will result in additional actions by the Subcommittee, including potential
referral for criminal investigations. So that letter has now gone
out to the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Well, Josh
Holly isn't done there. He has now also sent a
(04:36):
letter to Ron Gochez, spokesman for the Union Day del Barrio,
demanding the exact same things that they demanded for the
Party for Socialism and Liberation, as well as the earlier
letter in the Day that went to the original group
asking what do you know, when did you know it?
And how long have you been funding it with the
(04:56):
Coalition for quote Humane Immigrant Right. Yes, So that now
brings me to Josh Holly and what he had to
say tonight on Fox News Channel when speaking with Jesse Waters.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Take a listen, Senator Josh Holly joins us now all right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Senator Tolsey Gaberg has said that these riots in LA
and all over the country are orchestrated. Can you tell
us anything about that?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, I think that's absolutely right, Jesse. These aren't spontaneous
at all. They're about as authentic as AstroTurf. They are
bought and paid for flash mobs and I want to
know who's doing the buying and the paying. That's why
today I've launched an investigation. I've sent multiple investigative demands
today to various groups out on social media claiming they
are paying for this, they are organizing it, they are
(05:40):
financing it. We've all seen the videos of vans driving up,
handing out gas masks right before somebody blows up a car.
It's time we found out where's the money coming from,
who's really behind this. I think the American people deserve answers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Senator Holly wasn't done there. He also talked about these
riders and he made it very clear that these rioters
know who they're all is. It's the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When they're saying, don't believe what you see on TV
and there's no violence at all, doesn't that kind of
remind you of the Biden cover up, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
One hundred percent, it's the same thing, don't believe you're
lying eyes. Meanwhile, they're out there blowing up cars on
the one oh one. They're assaulting cops, they're rushing federal buildings,
they're burning down shops. It's all on television and we
can see it with our own eyes I'm just glad
Trump isn't letting the city burn. I mean, Gavin Newsom
would allow his state to burn for the second time
in the year. And the worst part is somebody is
(06:35):
paying for all of this, and they're trying to spread it, Jesse,
just like you reported, they're trying to spread it across
the country, to Chicago, to Saint Louis, to Seattle, New York, everywhere.
We got to figure out.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Who is behind this.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
And by the way, why is the Democrat Party now
basically an extended mental ward? I mean, what has happened
to these people?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
They're nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
They're nuts, He's right, But it's also the reality of
what they're doing, what they're advocating for, and the flag
that they're flying, you know, the Mexican flag.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You notice that CNN never even interviews anybody at the riot.
We have clips of them, and you can see why
CNN doesn't want to talk to them, because they look insane.
Your colleagues in the Senate, do they support these people?
Do they think this is good politically for the Democrat Party?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, that's what they're acting like. I mean, they're out
there saying all peaceful protests it's all peaceful.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And by the way, this is Donald Trump's fault. I'm like, really,
Donald Trump's fault.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Gee, I missed it when Donald Trump went and blew
up a car on Highway one oh one. I didn't
see him when he was assaulting cops. What I saw
was a bunch of lunatics who were waving the Mexican
flag and other flags while they burned our own. And
by the way, Jesse, we ought to penalize people who
burn the American flag while they're committing a crime. If
you do that, you ought to have your prison sentence doubled.
(07:51):
It's time to get serious with these people. It's a
law and order time in America. No more of this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So it's like an extra h what two years if
you burn a flag and the commission of the felony.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Absolutely, that's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
If you want to go burn a flag while you're
up there rioting, while you're assaulting cops, while you're blowing
up cars, yeah, fine, go right ahead, spend double the
amount of time in prison. That flag means something to Americans.
If you think that you can just burn it and
get away with it, it's time that we disabuse them
of that notion. The other thing I'd say, Jesse, is
if these protesters want to have a place to protest,
how about a nice jail cell. And right after that,
(08:30):
how about a one way ticket back to the country
where they came from, never to see the United States again.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
All right, good to speak with you, Senator, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
One thing that's for sure, Senator Josh Holly is making
it clear that under Donald Trump's leadership and his leadership
in the Senate, we're going to find out who's funding,
who's organizing, and who's terrorizing the American people with these
riots they're expanding all over the country. Well, you can
go ahead and mark your calendar for June eleventh. That
(09:02):
is the moment when finally there was sanity in our government.
As Josh Hawley, the Center from Missouri has written a
letter to the executive director of the Coalition for Humane
Immigrant Rights. Now, this apparently is just the beginning, as
we're starting to follow the money. The letter reads this way,
Dear miss Silas, I write, in my capacity is the
(09:25):
chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism,
regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and materially supporting
the coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los Angeles
in recent weeks. While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of
(09:46):
American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions.
They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and
disrupted the rule of law. All this lawlessness is unacceptable
and it must end. Credible reporting, the Center goes on
to write in his letter now suggests that your organization
(10:10):
has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged
in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear, bankrolling civil
unrest is not protected speech.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Accordingly, you must immediately cease and assist any further involvement
in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities. Furthermore,
Center Holly Wrights please preserve the following records from November fifth,
twenty twenty four to present. Number one, all internal communications
(10:50):
including emails, text messages, chat logs, and messaging applications relating
to protest planning, coordination, or funding. Number two, all financial
documents related to protests, demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in LA
or elsewhere relating to immigration enforcement. Again, this is clearly
(11:13):
part of what we knew was going to happen, which
was the expansion of these pre planned and organized protests
around the country now in twenty three different states as
I'm talking to you right now. Number three all third
party contracts or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers,
(11:33):
transportation providers, security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration
enforcement or the Los Angeles protests or similar protests elsewhere.
Number four grant applications and funding proposals that relate to
or reference immigration enforcement. Number five Travel and lodging records
(11:57):
for individuals or groups supported or reimbursed in connection with
protests activities. Number five, by the way, is extremely important
because we're now seeing this unraveled before our very eyes
that it's very clear that individuals and groups that have
been supporting these at these protests and riots could be
traveling in to be involved in the organized chaos and anarchy.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Number six.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Media are public relations strategies including talking points, press releases,
and coordination with journalists or influencers relating to immigration protests.
And number seven this is also extremely important. Please preserve
the following records for your donor lists. In other words,
(12:44):
who's giving you the money and how rich are they?
And who are they and where are they from? And
could it even be from outside the United States of America,
you know, like a place like Mexico. Failure to comply
will result in additional action by the Subcommittee Holly Rights,
including potential referral for criminal investigation. Sincerely, Josh Holly, Chairman,
(13:07):
Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism, US Senate Committee on
the Judiciary. This is a significant letter from Josh Holly,
because what they're now saying is, we've learned from how
you guys did this last time. We know it's not organic,
we know that it's funded by the radical left, and
some of this funding could actually be coming from outside
(13:29):
the United States of America. Chuck Schumer a moment ago
outside of the Senate was asked a question by a
media member, and I want you to hear what he said. Senator,
what do democrats mean when they say that the LA
protests are peaceful?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Senator?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Senator, what are democrats mean when they say the LA
protests are peaceful?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Do you consider burning private property peace?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
For obviously, Chuck Schumer didn't want to answer that question. Why,
because they've been lying to you over and over again
saying that this is actually peaceful. I go back to
the montage that I hope you'll help go viral. It
is one that is the media lying to your face
(14:15):
saying that this is peaceful, saying that there was not anarchy.
And by the way, even the mayor of La who
said that this was fine and there's no problem, has
now been forced to enact a curfew because it's not peaceful.
Looting of the Adida store or the Apple store, any
of the local businesses out there is not peaceful. So
(14:36):
why do they lie to you? Because it's a narrative
and they think you're stupid enough to believe it.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
The La County police say that they have it under control.
Caring a flag is not illegal. As you know, what
did happen in nineteen ninety two was so different from
what we're seeing now. I mean, that was a real riot.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Video after video has shown and that these agents are
the ones provoking protesters and also making up aggression by
these protesters, and later video shows people were not aggressive.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
We are having an administration that's targeting peaceful protests. People
that are there at protests. The president is sitting the
National Guard because he doesn't like the scenes. He doesn't
like the scenes of people peacefully protesting.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Unrest is isolated.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
LA has homed millions of people, most of them are
having a normal day here on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
You know, you've heard reports that there are riots on
the streets of Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
That is not what's happening across the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Covenyson's right. There was anything like a riot happening on Friday, Saturday,
and we just.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
Witnessed protester thanking a National guardsman for his service.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Here in California, lapd by most estimates, had this under
control last night.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
No, I don't think the National Guard is needed now.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Things in La are called.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
There was a protest that got a little unruly late
at night.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
There have been no violence where anybody that was protesting hit,
anybody shot, anybody, right, anybody nothing. What is just a
bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Most of
those demonstrations were very peaceful.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
They were chanting, they were shointing, people were driving by
fonking their horns.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
They will lie to you every single day and they
will tell you not to believe your eyes. Oh you know,
they're just burning some cars for fun. They're just throwing
rocks at law enforcement for fun. They're just looting stores
because you know that's what you do on a random Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
or Tuesday night.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They will lie to you no matter what. Looters. By
the way, Well, there's one other thing that's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
The people in LA are actually sick and tired of it,
as many citizens are saying they're happy the National Guard
is there.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We're also getting some breaking news documents as I'm recording this,
and apparently we now have some tax returns and documents
breaking down the funding of the nonprofit Coalition for Humane
Immigration Rights known as CCHIRLA. Well, this is coming after
Center Josh Holly's letter and opening that investigation into this
(17:18):
organization for its alleged funding of the LA riots. We
are now being told, and I'm quoting, that there is
a huge forty four point eight million dollars largely tax
free in twenty twenty two is the money they reported.
(17:38):
In fact, its executive director makes more than two hundred thousand.
We're told they spend nearly one point two million on
travel and twenty two alone. It's unclear what that was for.
Here's something else that's really crazy about this organization. Not
only do they spend one point two million on travel
(17:59):
in twenty twenty two, these are the latest numbers that
we have, and I'm reading this in real time. I
just got this, and we don't know what that travel
was spent on, but that certainly seems like a lot
of travel for a nonprofit. We also now know they
spent a big nine million on lobbying alone since twenty nineteen.
So the other question is who's handing out the riot gear?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, Chirila got approximately four hundred and fifty thousand. We're
also being told of your tax dollars. Let me say
that again. This organization that apparently is behind the La
riots got four hundred and fifty thousand from the Biden
Department of Homeland Security alone between October twenty twenty one
(18:48):
and September of twenty twenty four. What was it given
to them for to quote, support citizen education? Now, the
Department of Home ined Security into the program in March
of twenty twenty four. In the fiscal year ending June
twenty twenty three, we now know that this group got
(19:08):
nearly thirty four million in government funding, mainly from California sources.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
So just step back and think about this.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And this is just the information I'm getting from the
tax returns and the documents that are available at this moment.
After Center Holly's letter went out, what we now know
is there's a very good chance that your tax dollars
are funding this anarchy in LA. Now the other question
is were your tax dollars funding other groups that have
(19:43):
started anarchy and other cities. As I am doing this
right now, we are seeing multiple major roadways being shut
down by anarchists in Chicago, for example. This is again
just another example of what is happening. We are seeing
so many different things that are happening as we speak,
(20:04):
and yet again we have the media lying to us
as cars are set on fire, traffic is being stopped,
police are being attacked. The headline on CNN now anti
ice protests spread across the country.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But CNN's Ashley Allison, she.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Wanted to assure the viewers that there's no riots in
LA because well she was literally just there.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
But I know our time, I know you live in a.
I literally left Los Angeles Sunday night. What is happening
in Los Angeles and the way it is being depicted
is not accurate. We're talking about a square mile out
of a five hundred square mouse city. Most people are
not experiencing it the way we are showing it on television.
(20:47):
And I think we have to be very careful because
there are not riots in the street. There are some
bad actors and they need to be held accountable. But
we have to be careful what the language you use,
because if we say riots, we cause unnecessary fear, and
the real fear is when military people start flooding our
streets unnecessarily.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yes, this is the media right now because they believe
you are so stupid that you're gonna believe what they
say over what you're actually witnessing. The White House also
putting out a video just forty nine second long, saying
this a few simple truths. Looting in Adida store isn't justice,
Burning cities isn't speech. Gavin Newsser isn't a good governor,
(21:30):
And what's happening los Angeles aren't peaceful rallies. That's the
new word that the media started using today. The word rallies,
their Third World Insurrection riots on American soil, and they
put out a video showing the burning cards, the rioting,
and the looting, and then they decide to match it
up with the words being said by many on the left.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
A fourth day of rallies and protests off the streets
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
It was a peaceful rally.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
What is going on right now is also peaceful.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Expecting rallies later on when we got to throw up
even longer.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
There is a new crowd of protesters that has been building.
We see it didn't have These were rallies. Now they've
become protests.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I'm afraid that by tonight they become ryants if we
don't have the ability to stand up and stop the
miles before it assumes a great city like Los Angeles,
and there's no telling where this could spread.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
The White House putting out the video calling the media
out for their lives and misinformation. Now you look at
what's happening, and it's not just in LA. It is
absolutely running all over the country. We are seeing this
well organized. We're also seeing this coming Saturday, what many
(22:59):
are already describing as a day of rage. Yes, it
is being backed by many on the left. And if
you want to know just how bad it is in LA,
listen to what the White House Press Secretary had to
say about who they've arrested in LA and listen to
how many of them already have been arrested for other
(23:20):
crimes before this week.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
And I have updates for you on the numbers. By
the way, since June six, there have been three hundred
and thirty illegal aliens that have been arrested as part
of these riots in Los Angeles. One hundred and thirteen
of those illegal aliens had prior criminal convictions. And overall,
and this includes arrests of American citizens, there's been one
hundred and fifty seven people arrested for assault and obstruction
(23:46):
obstruction related charges, including the attempted murder of a police
officer with a molotov cocktail. So who is funding these
illegal aliens who are coming in with this very professional
riot gear. It's a question everyone in this room who
cares about truth should be asking, and we encourage your
help in trying to get to the bottom of that question.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Indeeda I love how she looks at the media and
says to their face. Why aren't you guys doing your job.
Why aren't you guys asking questions of who is funding this?
The LA mayor saying the eluding of the Nike store
was quote provoked by the White House. That's the response
from the LA mayor. I mean, what can you even
(24:27):
say if you can't lead, I mean a city under siege.
How you can't lead period if you're the mayor of LA,
if you can't even discern basic reality of what's happening
on the ground in your city.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But it's all politics.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Karen Bass wants to fundamentally change LA, just like Gavin Newsom.
So they will look at you in your face in
downtown LA at the Mayor's office, enter press conference, and
she will tell you this is not the fault of
illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, no, no, The looting is the fault of the
White House. Somehow.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of
Los Angeles and in all of the representatives behind.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Me in their cities as well.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Things began to be difficult on Friday when raids took place.
And it's important that I begin there because that is
the cause of the problems that have happened in the
city of Los Angeles and other cities.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
This was a provocation. This was provoked by the White House.
The reason why we don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Senator John Kennedy. You know him from Louisiana. He has
a lot of one liners and politics. Probably the best
one liner I've ever met in the political game. He
was on Fox News channel and he decided he was
going to respond to Mayor Bass and other Democrats who
are out there telling you that this is a peaceful
(26:01):
and then saying, well, we have to finally admit that
it's somehow not peaceful. We're going to say that it
was peaceful before before Donald Trump got involved. I also
have to remind you of the timestamp. Cars were being
burned and streets were being shut down and police were
being attacked in LA before Donald Trump even mentioned the
(26:25):
National Guard going in. Senator Kennedy in his own words, my.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
Democratic colleagues have a game plan. I don't think it's
a very good one, but it's the same game plan
we've seen forever. President Trump is a dictator. He's trying
to destroy democracy. Now he's trying to take over our cities,
and they're trying to convince the American people If that's true,
there's just one problem. The American people can see what's
(26:53):
going on. It's just like they could see that President
Biden had neurodegenderative disease. Can see the riots in Los Angeles.
So when the Democrats try to tell them not to believe,
they're lying eyes and nobody believes them. I mean, I
think they ought to get a new strategy here. But
(27:15):
aside from the politics, Los Angeles is one of the
greatest cities in the world. We shouldn't stand by and
let the wolves the story it or.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Devour it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Or devour it. I think they ought to get a
new strategy. Senator Kennedy, I couldn't agree with you more.
I don't think that's going to work on the American people.
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 (27:42):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
Senator Josh Holly has not only launched an investigation to
who's funding the LA riots, but we're getting breaking news
right now that the list has expanded from what happened
earlier in the day. Senator Josh Holly, who chairs US
in a Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism, launching
(00:22):
this new investigation into who is funding the Los Angeles
riots and other riots that are now breaking out around
the country. Now, what we knew earlier was this there
was a target, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of
Los Angeles. It's a non profit pro immigration group. The
(00:43):
allegation was very clear they may have provided logistical support
and financial resources to individuals involved in the protests and
escalated it into riots, obviously on purpose. Now, the formal
requests he sent to this group and the executive director
to the man in the preservation and the production of
financial documents and donor lists, travel and coordination records and
(01:07):
documents related to protest planning from November fifth of twenty
twenty four to the present. Well here is now what
has happened since that first letter. Holly's office has now
come out saying we are launching investigation to other groups
as well. Not just the original one named. Who else
(01:28):
is being added well, the Party for Socialism and Liberation
out of San Francisco, California. The letter reads this way,
to whom it may concern, I write, in my capacity
is the chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and
counter Terrorism, regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and
material support coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los
(01:53):
Angeles in recent weeks. While peaceful protests is a cornerstone
of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions.
They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and
disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable and
it must end. He also stated, this credible reporting now
(02:17):
suggests that your organization, the Party for Socialism and Liberation,
has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals that
are engaged in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear,
bank rolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is
aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease
(02:40):
and assist any further involvement in these organizations in the organization, funding,
or promotion of these unlawful activities. Now there's a long
list of things that Holly is asking for, including all
internal communications including emails, text messages, chat law messaging apps,
(03:02):
relate to the protests related to the planning, the coordination,
or funding. He is also demanding that all financial documents
related to the protests, the demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in
LA are elsewhere in the country relating to immigration enforcement.
He also said if there are any third party contacts
or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers, transportation providers,
(03:28):
security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration enforcement or
the Los Angeles protests or similar protests elsewhere. He also
asked for grant applications and funding proposals that relate to
or reference immigration enforcement, as well as travel and lodging
(03:50):
records for individuals or groups supported or reimbursed in connection
with protests activities. He also said we must have media
or public relationship strategies, including your talking points, press releases,
and coordination with journalists or influencers related to immigration protests.
And finally, the big one, yet again, the donor list.
(04:13):
Josh Holly, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime and
counter Terrorism in the US Senate, said failure to comply
will result in additional actions by the Subcommittee, including potential
referral for criminal investigations. So that letter has now gone
out to the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Well, Josh
Holly isn't done there. He has now also sent a
(04:36):
letter to Ron Gochez, spokesman for the Union Day del Barrio,
demanding the exact same things that they demanded for the
Party for Socialism and Liberation, as well as the earlier
letter in the Day that went to the original group
asking what do you know, when did you know it?
And how long have you been funding it with the
(04:56):
Coalition for quote Humane Immigrant Right. Yes, So that now
brings me to Josh Holly and what he had to
say tonight on Fox News Channel when speaking with Jesse Waters.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Take a listen, Senator Josh Holly joins us now all right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Senator Tolsey Gaberg has said that these riots in LA
and all over the country are orchestrated. Can you tell
us anything about that?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, I think that's absolutely right, Jesse. These aren't spontaneous
at all. They're about as authentic as AstroTurf. They are
bought and paid for flash mobs and I want to
know who's doing the buying and the paying. That's why
today I've launched an investigation. I've sent multiple investigative demands
today to various groups out on social media claiming they
are paying for this, they are organizing it, they are
(05:40):
financing it. We've all seen the videos of vans driving up,
handing out gas masks right before somebody blows up a car.
It's time we found out where's the money coming from,
who's really behind this. I think the American people deserve answers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Senator Holly wasn't done there. He also talked about these
riders and he made it very clear that these rioters
know who they're all is. It's the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When they're saying, don't believe what you see on TV
and there's no violence at all, doesn't that kind of
remind you of the Biden cover up, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
One hundred percent, it's the same thing, don't believe you're
lying eyes. Meanwhile, they're out there blowing up cars on
the one oh one. They're assaulting cops, they're rushing federal buildings,
they're burning down shops. It's all on television and we
can see it with our own eyes I'm just glad
Trump isn't letting the city burn. I mean, Gavin Newsom
would allow his state to burn for the second time
in the year. And the worst part is somebody is
(06:35):
paying for all of this, and they're trying to spread it, Jesse,
just like you reported, they're trying to spread it across
the country, to Chicago, to Saint Louis, to Seattle, New York, everywhere.
We got to figure out.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Who is behind this.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
And by the way, why is the Democrat Party now
basically an extended mental ward? I mean, what has happened
to these people?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
They're nuts.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
They're nuts, He's right, But it's also the reality of
what they're doing, what they're advocating for, and the flag
that they're flying, you know, the Mexican flag.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You notice that CNN never even interviews anybody at the riot.
We have clips of them, and you can see why
CNN doesn't want to talk to them, because they look insane.
Your colleagues in the Senate, do they support these people?
Do they think this is good politically for the Democrat Party?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, that's what they're acting like. I mean, they're out
there saying all peaceful protests it's all peaceful.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And by the way, this is Donald Trump's fault. I'm like, really,
Donald Trump's fault.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Gee, I missed it when Donald Trump went and blew
up a car on Highway one oh one. I didn't
see him when he was assaulting cops. What I saw
was a bunch of lunatics who were waving the Mexican
flag and other flags while they burned our own. And
by the way, Jesse, we ought to penalize people who
burn the American flag while they're committing a crime. If
you do that, you ought to have your prison sentence doubled.
(07:51):
It's time to get serious with these people. It's a
law and order time in America. No more of this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
So it's like an extra h what two years if
you burn a flag and the commission of the felony.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Absolutely, that's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
If you want to go burn a flag while you're
up there rioting, while you're assaulting cops, while you're blowing
up cars, yeah, fine, go right ahead, spend double the
amount of time in prison. That flag means something to Americans.
If you think that you can just burn it and
get away with it, it's time that we disabuse them
of that notion. The other thing I'd say, Jesse, is
if these protesters want to have a place to protest,
how about a nice jail cell. And right after that,
(08:30):
how about a one way ticket back to the country
where they came from, never to see the United States again.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
All right, good to speak with you, Senator, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
One thing that's for sure, Senator Josh Holly is making
it clear that under Donald Trump's leadership and his leadership
in the Senate, we're going to find out who's funding,
who's organizing, and who's terrorizing the American people with these
riots they're expanding all over the country. Well, you can
go ahead and mark your calendar for June eleventh. That
(09:02):
is the moment when finally there was sanity in our government.
As Josh Hawley, the Center from Missouri has written a
letter to the executive director of the Coalition for Humane
Immigrant Rights. Now, this apparently is just the beginning, as
we're starting to follow the money. The letter reads this way,
Dear miss Silas, I write, in my capacity is the
(09:25):
chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism,
regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and materially supporting
the coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los Angeles
in recent weeks. While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of
(09:46):
American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions.
They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and
disrupted the rule of law. All this lawlessness is unacceptable
and it must end. Credible reporting, the Center goes on
to write in his letter now suggests that your organization
(10:10):
has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged
in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear, bankrolling civil
unrest is not protected speech.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Accordingly, you must immediately cease and assist any further involvement
in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities. Furthermore,
Center Holly Wrights please preserve the following records from November fifth,
twenty twenty four to present. Number one, all internal communications
(10:50):
including emails, text messages, chat logs, and messaging applications relating
to protest planning, coordination, or funding. Number two, all financial
documents related to protests, demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in LA
or elsewhere relating to immigration enforcement. Again, this is clearly
(11:13):
part of what we knew was going to happen, which
was the expansion of these pre planned and organized protests
around the country now in twenty three different states as
I'm talking to you right now. Number three all third
party contracts or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers,
(11:33):
transportation providers, security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration
enforcement or the Los Angeles protests or similar protests elsewhere.
Number four grant applications and funding proposals that relate to
or reference immigration enforcement. Number five Travel and lodging records
(11:57):
for individuals or groups supported or reimbursed in connection with
protests activities. Number five, by the way, is extremely important
because we're now seeing this unraveled before our very eyes
that it's very clear that individuals and groups that have
been supporting these at these protests and riots could be
traveling in to be involved in the organized chaos and anarchy.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Number six.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Media are public relations strategies including talking points, press releases,
and coordination with journalists or influencers relating to immigration protests.
And number seven this is also extremely important. Please preserve
the following records for your donor lists. In other words,
(12:44):
who's giving you the money and how rich are they?
And who are they and where are they from? And
could it even be from outside the United States of America,
you know, like a place like Mexico. Failure to comply
will result in additional action by the Subcommittee Holly Rights,
including potential referral for criminal investigation. Sincerely, Josh Holly, Chairman,
(13:07):
Subcommittee on Crime and counter Terrorism, US Senate Committee on
the Judiciary. This is a significant letter from Josh Holly,
because what they're now saying is, we've learned from how
you guys did this last time. We know it's not organic,
we know that it's funded by the radical left, and
some of this funding could actually be coming from outside
(13:29):
the United States of America. Chuck Schumer a moment ago
outside of the Senate was asked a question by a
media member, and I want you to hear what he said. Senator,
what do democrats mean when they say that the LA
protests are peaceful?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Senator?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Senator, what are democrats mean when they say the LA
protests are peaceful?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Do you consider burning private property peace?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
For obviously, Chuck Schumer didn't want to answer that question. Why,
because they've been lying to you over and over again
saying that this is actually peaceful. I go back to
the montage that I hope you'll help go viral. It
is one that is the media lying to your face
(14:15):
saying that this is peaceful, saying that there was not anarchy.
And by the way, even the mayor of La who
said that this was fine and there's no problem, has
now been forced to enact a curfew because it's not peaceful.
Looting of the Adida store or the Apple store, any
of the local businesses out there is not peaceful. So
(14:36):
why do they lie to you? Because it's a narrative
and they think you're stupid enough to believe it.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
The La County police say that they have it under control.
Caring a flag is not illegal. As you know, what
did happen in nineteen ninety two was so different from
what we're seeing now. I mean, that was a real riot.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Video after video has shown and that these agents are
the ones provoking protesters and also making up aggression by
these protesters, and later video shows people were not aggressive.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
We are having an administration that's targeting peaceful protests. People
that are there at protests. The president is sitting the
National Guard because he doesn't like the scenes. He doesn't
like the scenes of people peacefully protesting.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Unrest is isolated.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
LA has homed millions of people, most of them are
having a normal day here on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
You know, you've heard reports that there are riots on
the streets of Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
That is not what's happening across the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Covenyson's right. There was anything like a riot happening on Friday, Saturday,
and we just.
Speaker 10 (15:41):
Witnessed protester thanking a National guardsman for his service.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Here in California, lapd by most estimates, had this under
control last night.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
No, I don't think the National Guard is needed now.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Things in La are called.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
There was a protest that got a little unruly late
at night.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
There have been no violence where anybody that was protesting hit,
anybody shot, anybody, right, anybody nothing. What is just a
bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Most of
those demonstrations were very peaceful.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
They were chanting, they were shointing, people were driving by
fonking their horns.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
They will lie to you every single day and they
will tell you not to believe your eyes. Oh you know,
they're just burning some cars for fun. They're just throwing
rocks at law enforcement for fun. They're just looting stores
because you know that's what you do on a random Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
or Tuesday night.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They will lie to you no matter what. Looters. By
the way, Well, there's one other thing that's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
The people in LA are actually sick and tired of it,
as many citizens are saying they're happy the National Guard
is there.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We're also getting some breaking news documents as I'm recording this,
and apparently we now have some tax returns and documents
breaking down the funding of the nonprofit Coalition for Humane
Immigration Rights known as CCHIRLA. Well, this is coming after
Center Josh Holly's letter and opening that investigation into this
(17:18):
organization for its alleged funding of the LA riots. We
are now being told, and I'm quoting, that there is
a huge forty four point eight million dollars largely tax
free in twenty twenty two is the money they reported.
(17:38):
In fact, its executive director makes more than two hundred thousand.
We're told they spend nearly one point two million on
travel and twenty two alone. It's unclear what that was for.
Here's something else that's really crazy about this organization. Not
only do they spend one point two million on travel
(17:59):
in twenty twenty two, these are the latest numbers that
we have, and I'm reading this in real time. I
just got this, and we don't know what that travel
was spent on, but that certainly seems like a lot
of travel for a nonprofit. We also now know they
spent a big nine million on lobbying alone since twenty nineteen.
So the other question is who's handing out the riot gear?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, Chirila got approximately four hundred and fifty thousand. We're
also being told of your tax dollars. Let me say
that again. This organization that apparently is behind the La
riots got four hundred and fifty thousand from the Biden
Department of Homeland Security alone between October twenty twenty one
(18:48):
and September of twenty twenty four. What was it given
to them for to quote, support citizen education? Now, the
Department of Home ined Security into the program in March
of twenty twenty four. In the fiscal year ending June
twenty twenty three, we now know that this group got
(19:08):
nearly thirty four million in government funding, mainly from California sources.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
So just step back and think about this.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And this is just the information I'm getting from the
tax returns and the documents that are available at this moment.
After Center Holly's letter went out, what we now know
is there's a very good chance that your tax dollars
are funding this anarchy in LA. Now the other question
is were your tax dollars funding other groups that have
(19:43):
started anarchy and other cities. As I am doing this
right now, we are seeing multiple major roadways being shut
down by anarchists in Chicago, for example. This is again
just another example of what is happening. We are seeing
so many different things that are happening as we speak,
(20:04):
and yet again we have the media lying to us
as cars are set on fire, traffic is being stopped,
police are being attacked. The headline on CNN now anti
ice protests spread across the country.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But CNN's Ashley Allison, she.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Wanted to assure the viewers that there's no riots in
LA because well she was literally just there.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
But I know our time, I know you live in a.
I literally left Los Angeles Sunday night. What is happening
in Los Angeles and the way it is being depicted
is not accurate. We're talking about a square mile out
of a five hundred square mouse city. Most people are
not experiencing it the way we are showing it on television.
(20:47):
And I think we have to be very careful because
there are not riots in the street. There are some
bad actors and they need to be held accountable. But
we have to be careful what the language you use,
because if we say riots, we cause unnecessary fear, and
the real fear is when military people start flooding our
streets unnecessarily.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yes, this is the media right now because they believe
you are so stupid that you're gonna believe what they
say over what you're actually witnessing. The White House also
putting out a video just forty nine second long, saying
this a few simple truths. Looting in Adida store isn't justice,
Burning cities isn't speech. Gavin Newsser isn't a good governor,
(21:30):
And what's happening los Angeles aren't peaceful rallies. That's the
new word that the media started using today. The word rallies,
their Third World Insurrection riots on American soil, and they
put out a video showing the burning cards, the rioting,
and the looting, and then they decide to match it
up with the words being said by many on the left.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
A fourth day of rallies and protests off the streets
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
It was a peaceful rally.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
What is going on right now is also peaceful.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Expecting rallies later on when we got to throw up
even longer.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
There is a new crowd of protesters that has been building.
We see it didn't have These were rallies. Now they've
become protests.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I'm afraid that by tonight they become ryants if we
don't have the ability to stand up and stop the
miles before it assumes a great city like Los Angeles,
and there's no telling where this could spread.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
The White House putting out the video calling the media
out for their lives and misinformation. Now you look at
what's happening, and it's not just in LA. It is
absolutely running all over the country. We are seeing this
well organized. We're also seeing this coming Saturday, what many
(22:59):
are already describing as a day of rage. Yes, it
is being backed by many on the left. And if
you want to know just how bad it is in LA,
listen to what the White House Press Secretary had to
say about who they've arrested in LA and listen to
how many of them already have been arrested for other
(23:20):
crimes before this week.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
And I have updates for you on the numbers. By
the way, since June six, there have been three hundred
and thirty illegal aliens that have been arrested as part
of these riots in Los Angeles. One hundred and thirteen
of those illegal aliens had prior criminal convictions. And overall,
and this includes arrests of American citizens, there's been one
hundred and fifty seven people arrested for assault and obstruction
(23:46):
obstruction related charges, including the attempted murder of a police
officer with a molotov cocktail. So who is funding these
illegal aliens who are coming in with this very professional
riot gear. It's a question everyone in this room who
cares about truth should be asking, and we encourage your
help in trying to get to the bottom of that question.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Indeeda I love how she looks at the media and
says to their face. Why aren't you guys doing your job.
Why aren't you guys asking questions of who is funding this?
The LA mayor saying the eluding of the Nike store
was quote provoked by the White House. That's the response
from the LA mayor. I mean, what can you even
(24:27):
say if you can't lead, I mean a city under siege.
How you can't lead period if you're the mayor of LA,
if you can't even discern basic reality of what's happening
on the ground in your city.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But it's all politics.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Karen Bass wants to fundamentally change LA, just like Gavin Newsom.
So they will look at you in your face in
downtown LA at the Mayor's office, enter press conference, and
she will tell you this is not the fault of
illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, no, no, The looting is the fault of the
White House. Somehow.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of
Los Angeles and in all of the representatives behind.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Me in their cities as well.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Things began to be difficult on Friday when raids took place.
And it's important that I begin there because that is
the cause of the problems that have happened in the
city of Los Angeles and other cities.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
This was a provocation. This was provoked by the White House.
The reason why we don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Senator John Kennedy. You know him from Louisiana. He has
a lot of one liners and politics. Probably the best
one liner I've ever met in the political game. He
was on Fox News channel and he decided he was
going to respond to Mayor Bass and other Democrats who
are out there telling you that this is a peaceful
(26:01):
and then saying, well, we have to finally admit that
it's somehow not peaceful. We're going to say that it
was peaceful before before Donald Trump got involved. I also
have to remind you of the timestamp. Cars were being
burned and streets were being shut down and police were
being attacked in LA before Donald Trump even mentioned the
(26:25):
National Guard going in. Senator Kennedy in his own words, my.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
Democratic colleagues have a game plan. I don't think it's
a very good one, but it's the same game plan
we've seen forever. President Trump is a dictator. He's trying
to destroy democracy. Now he's trying to take over our cities,
and they're trying to convince the American people If that's true,
there's just one problem. The American people can see what's
(26:53):
going on. It's just like they could see that President
Biden had neurodegenderative disease. Can see the riots in Los Angeles.
So when the Democrats try to tell them not to believe,
they're lying eyes and nobody believes them. I mean, I
think they ought to get a new strategy here. But
(27:15):
aside from the politics, Los Angeles is one of the
greatest cities in the world. We shouldn't stand by and
let the wolves the story it or.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Devour it.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Or devour it. I think they ought to get a
new strategy. Senator Kennedy, I couldn't agree with you more.
I don't think that's going to work on the American people.
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 (27:42):
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
