Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson
with you on this Friday morning, It's so nice to
have you with us. And Senator we have got some
very big legislation that you've been fighting hard on. The
White House got on board and worked with you, and
I can't believe it, but this is something that's actually
bipartisan happening in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, the Take It Down Act has now passed the
United States Senator's past the House, and it is headed
to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. This
is legislation that protects kids, protects women online from revenge porn,
from deep fakes that are targeting more and more kids.
We're going to break all that down, explain how that
came to pass. We also have yet more facts about
(00:42):
the Maryland Man. The Maryland Man that the Democrats have
decided is their poster child. It is who they stand for.
It is the illegal alien MS thirteen member who now
we have growing evidence was also active in human trafficking.
We're going to break that evidence down as well. And finally,
dough Elon Musk is laying out yet more shocking revelations.
(01:03):
Doges uncovering. We're gonna we're gonna go through all those
as well.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Now, Centri, this is something you've been working on for
quite some time. The President got involved with this, the
first Lady got involved with this, and this is bipartisan
in nature, which is great to factually see Congress seation
thing on a bipartisan level. And this is gonna protect people,
a lot of young women and girls especially who have
(01:27):
been in essence blackmail by xes that wanted to put
out things that should never be on the Internet with
them in it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, this is unfortunately a growing problem. It is a
massive problem, and there are two big manifestations of it.
Number one are real images, non consential intimate images where
say you have a boyfriend and girlfriend and they take
explicit pictures of each other, that take explicit videos of
each other, and then they have an ugly breakup and
(01:54):
one or the other is pissed off and they say,
all right, I'm gonna stick it to you. I'm gonna
put these pictures, I'm gonna put these videos out online
and the whole world is going to see you. And
I got to say that is wrong. It is a
grotesque violation of your rights of your privacy, and it's
a problem we're seeing growing more and more. There's a
new iteration of it that is a product of technology,
(02:17):
which is now with artificial intelligence, you can create deep fakes,
where you can create images or videos of real people
that appear to be real and they're entirely fake. And
we are seeing the prevalence of deep fake non consensual
intimate images. It has grown three thousand percent last year.
(02:39):
Over ninety percent of the victims are either women or
teenage girls. And I'll tell you how this issue first
came to my attention. It came from a Texas girl
who was targeted by this, a girl named Elliston Barry
who last year she's fifteen. Now, last year she was fourteen.
She was in ninth grade, and she woke up one
(03:00):
Monday morning and her phone started blowing up and all
of her friends let her know that a classmate of hers,
a boy in her class, had taken what was a
perfectly innocent picture of her on social media and used
an AI app online to create deep fakes, and he
created what appeared to be naked pictures of her. Now
(03:23):
they weren't, but you couldn't tell from looking at him,
and then he sent them to every one of her classmates.
So this poor girl, Look, it's hard to be a teenager.
It's hard to be a teenage girl. But if you
could imagine the nightmare of every one of your classmates
thinking they're looking at naked pictures of you. She woke up,
she was in tears. It was horrifying, and what happened.
(03:44):
She's a Texan, So she and her mother, Anna called
my office and complained to me. They said, look, can
you help us. You're our senator, can you help us?
And I got to say my team did a great
job that they elevated it to me and put this
in front of me and said, look is in this horrible?
What happened to this girl? And we actually drafted legislation
(04:04):
to address this problem because as we looked at it,
it was becoming more and more common. And the Take
It Down Act that I wrote it does two things.
Number one, it makes it a crime, a federal felony
to post non consensual intimate images, either real images or
deep fakes that made through AI.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Clear that's where this has real teeth. You just said
it is a felony.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes, a felony with jail time. And a number of states,
including Texas, have criminalized revenge porn, but a lot of
those states they don't address deep fakes because deep fakes
are new, and so it's a hole in the law.
So part of what Elliston discovered in Texas is there
was nothing she could do about it. This kid could
(04:49):
send out these pictures and there was no consequence at all.
So number one, it makes it a crime, But number two,
there is a persistent problem that the tech platfor won't
take this garbage down. And in fact, when I introduced
the legislation, Ellison or mom came to DC. I sat
down with him in my office and when they sat
(05:09):
down with me, I asked them. I said, okay, what
happened to the pictures? And this was nine months after
the incident had happened, and they expressed enormous frustration. They
said Snapchat would not take them down. Elliston's mom had
called them and emailed them and repeatedly tried to get
them taken down. Nothing complete. Heisman stiff arm I got
(05:33):
to tell you, Ben. I turned to my team and
I said, I want you to get the CEO of
Snapchat on the phone today. I want those pictures down
today within two hours, ben they pulled them down. Now
you know what, It should not take a sitting US
senator making a phone call to get pictures like that
taken down. And so what we did we rode into
(05:55):
the law a legal obligation on the tech platforms part
that once the victim notifies them that they have to
take the pictures of the videos down immediately. I did
this legislation with Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat in the Senate.
We passed it through the Senate one hundred to nothing.
We did it in the last Congress, but unfortunately the
(06:16):
House didn't get it passed. So this Congress we passed
it again. And then one thing that was really terrific,
the First Lady Milania Trump, got actively involved. She came
to Capitol Hill, she pushed for the bill. She sat
down at a roundtable with Elliston with other victims of
this growing problem, and the First Lady leaned in and said,
(06:37):
to the House, take this up and get it done.
And this past week the House did. They passed it,
passed it overwhelmingly, and so now it is headed to
the president's President Trump talked about this bill in the
State of the Union. He told the House, get it done.
I want to sign it. It's now going to be
signed in the law, and it's going to protect women,
(06:57):
teenage girls, teenage boys all across the country from this
kind of victimization.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And this is where everyone should be proud because not
only as you mentioned, mandatory takedown, you got a forty
eight hours of notification by the victim or their representatives,
but the penalty violators face up to two years in
prison for offenses involving adults, up to three years if
a victim is a minor, and this is going to
send a very queer message you cannot do this anymore.
(07:25):
And if you do, you're.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
A real consequences. Yeah, and there are real consequences, and
I will tell you the take it down aspect. What
we did is we borrowed from another piece of legislation
that's already federal law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
So if you tweet out, let's say, a song from
the Lion King, it'll get pulled down within hours because
you can't tweet out copyrighted material. So we use that
(07:50):
same mechanism to notice and takedown mechanism, and we applied
it to these non consensual intimate images. So every tech
platform has an office that knows how to respond to this.
This protects every victim, and I'll tell you at our roundtable,
one of the victims was a South Carolina state legislator.
His son was targeted and it was a sextortion scam
(08:13):
and they threatened to release the pictures, and I got
to say, his son took his own life. Sometimes the
consequences are incredibly tragic, and so this bill protects every
potential victim.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Center We've got some breaking news, and I hope everyone
listening is taking notes on what we're about to tell
you and what you're gonna hear. This is yet again
another bombshell blowing up in the face of Democrats who
tried to turn a terrorist, an MS thirteen gang member
into just a Maryland man, a Maryland father, and they're
(08:45):
demanding a come back to America. They've flown down, using taxpayers'
money to head down to meet with him since he's
been deported, and they're demanding he come back. Now we
have audio that's saying who he really is.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, the Democrats made a really astonishing choice to go
all in in support of letting more illegal immigrants into
this country back into this country, and in particular defending
MS thirteen gang members and wife beaters, people who commit
domestic violence. It really is an astonishing decision that the Democrats. Obviously,
(09:22):
you have Chris van Holland, the Senator from Maryland who
flew down to El Salvador and basically played foot see
with this guy. You have House Democrats going down there.
You have Corey Booker doing a sit in on the
steps of the Capitol, all in defense of what they
say is this poorly targeted, poor defenseless Maryland Man. Well,
(09:46):
facts are stubborn things. I want you to listen to
this audio. This is the quote Maryland Man's wife testifying
in twenty twenty in court being a protective order, and
listen to what she says about this this individual who
the Democrats are now trying to turn into mother Teresa.
(10:08):
Give a listen.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I came to fill out a protective order. I think
it was in December, but I didn't show up to
the court because his family like washed my brain, telling
me that his dad was sick and not to do it.
So it's still I didn't do anything. But after that
it was like I would call the police. I have
(10:32):
a lot of police reports. And I kept trying to
get to the door basement to try to open the door,
and then like he pushed me. So then when I
was able to go outside to get a phone, I
called out one from a disconnected phone. Now, they took
a long time to get to the house. It was
probably like twenty thirty minutes. So I saw a neighbor
walking his dog and I opened the door and I
(10:55):
was like help. And then when he heard me, like
he grabbed me from my hair and then he slapped me.
And then the neighbor he didn't know what to do,
he didn't know what to react. I have pictures of
their evidence, like all the bruises. Because even on Wednesday
he hit me like around like three in the morning.
He would just wake up and like hit me. And
then last Saturday, for my daughter's birthday party, before I
went to my daughter's birthday party, he slammed me three times.
(11:18):
And then last week I did call the police. My
sister called the police because he hit me in front
of my sister.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I listen to that senator and it makes me angry.
It makes me so sad for not only her but
also for the kids involved, because if you've ever known
someone that's gone through abuse like this, you never forget
what their stories sound like. And the part there that
she said, I quote have a lot of police reports.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, this was a repeated problem. According to his
wife's testimony in court, he repeatedly engaged in violence. He
punched her, he slapped her, He did so in front
of their kids, he did so in front of her sister.
That's what her testimony was. And understand, this is who
the Democrats are elevating and saying it is a travesty
(12:08):
of justice that this violent wife beater is no longer
in this country now, mind you, despite his beating up
his wife, despite his being illegally in this country, despite
his being allegedly and two courts concluded an MS thirteen
gang member, the Democrats are all in and defending him.
(12:29):
And there's another piece of audio I want you to
listen to. And this is a piece of audio from
twenty twenty two, so just a couple of years ago,
and there was a traffic stop and he was stopped
driving a vehicle with eight people in the back end.
And I want you to listen to the police officers
in the traffic stop and what their assessment was, what
(12:51):
was going on. Give a listen to this.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, you're gonna hear some road noise of cars passing by,
just so you know what that is, and you will
hear this these police officers on body camera. Listen carefully.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You got right, you know what you got here?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
He's hauling these people for money, is what he's doing.
But sometimes they coil mingled opener, but.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Scruggling. There's eight people in the know, that's what an
extra seats. Yeah, yeah, so he's getting.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Paid all these people, probably to Maryland, I would say
about my guess, well, matches up with the Maryland dad thing. Right,
the Maryland man. They're like, oh, by the way, this
car has been retrofitted to add an entire another row
of seats. They've never seen a car this model with
this many seats in it. There's another example of the
(13:47):
human smuggling.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Look, look, this is Maryland man. He's hauling them to Maryland.
The police officer's immediate reaction, you know what this guy
is doing. He's hauling these people for money. Eight people.
They added an extra row of seats, so you've got
an illegal alien wife beater, who's an MS thirteen gang
member and who is actively engaged in human trafficking. This
is the poster child for the Democrats. This is who
(14:10):
they've decided to go all in on, saying, we want
this person back in America and we want more people
like him. And I got to say, we've also seen
a fairly amazing thing with the Democrats in the media
going crazy about an interview that President Trump did in
the Oval office with ABC News, and in particular, President
(14:32):
Trump asserted that he had MS thirteen tattooed on his knuckles,
and the media has been having a field day saying, no, no, no,
that's a lie, it's photoshopped. It's not true. So you
can go and look at the pictures, go look online
what he has tattooed on his knuckles. He's got tattoos
on each of the four knuckles of his fingers he has.
The first tattoo is a marijuana leaf. Now marijuana leaf
(14:57):
stands for m second tattoo is of a smiley face.
The smiley face stands for s. The third tattoo on
his middle finger is of a cross, and the cross
the up and down stands for one and the fourth
tattoo on his index finger is of a skull, which
(15:20):
is the same shape as the number three. Now what
he actually has is those four tattoos, and what the
White House tweeted out was a picture of those four tattoos,
and then it rode above them. Above the marijuana leaf,
it wrote an M because that's what the marijuana leaf
stands for. Above the smiley face, it wrote an S
because that's what the smiley face stands for. Above the cross,
(15:40):
it wrote a one because that's what the cross stands for.
And above the skull, it wrote a three because that's
what the skull stands for. So the four symbols are
of MS thirteen. Now the Democrats and the corporate media
are clutching their pearls, going, no, it didn't actually have
the MS thirteen. That was a photoshop. Well, yes, but
(16:03):
what it did have is clearly symbolizing MS thirteen, And
they don't want people to know that, because it is
fairly amazing that a Keen Jeffries, the Democrat Leader in
the House, Chuck Schumer, Chris van holland the Democrats in
both the Senate and House have decided MS thirteen gang members.
(16:24):
That's who we defend. That's who we're backing up.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You also look at this individual and the new DEA
nominee said that this guy's tattoos consists with MS thirteen membership,
again blowing the narrative out of the water from the
left that these tattoos are meaningless, they have nothing to
do with MS thirteen. The guy who does this for
a living is like, yes, we see this all the time. Yes,
(16:50):
this is what it looks like when you have these
tattoos on your knuckle. Yes, this is what these gang
members do. And then you go back to what we're
now finding out in this record and the traffic stop here,
and also from new reporting from basically in essence a
whistleblower that is saying that not only was this guy
(17:11):
attacking his wife and running human trafficking, but we also
know from these court filings that have come out that
his wife has said that she was afraid because he
said he was going to kill her. So this is
a guy that is threatening to kill his wife based
on what we're seeing from the court documents, and he's
(17:32):
an individual that is out there that should never have
been in this country and he should be gone. And
so when you look at this. I truly am amazed
that the Democratic Party is saying, we don't care about
American citizens. We don't come to your aid, we don't
come to your comfort when these people commit crimes against you. No, no,
(17:52):
we want to go find the ones that have been deported
and bring him back to America. How in the hell
do do they think the American people are going to
stay with him on this issue, Senator.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, look, it's where they are. And I got to
say this week, I got in a Twitter battle with
the Keem Jeffries, the head of the Democrats in the House.
I tweeted out, I said, Akim, allowing your members to
fly to Al Salvador on the taxpayer's dime to play
footsie with violent gang members was obviously astonishingly bad politics.
Please keep it up. And I got to say, a
(18:23):
Kiem Jeffries, he got really angry and he's like, and
he tweeted back, this is from someone who abandoned his
state during the historic winter storm to vacation in kang Kun.
No one takes you seriously at this point. And that's
Leader Jeffries to you, Edward. Well, sorry, Hakeem, Leader Jeffries
is not what I call you. But it's okay. I
just tweeted back at him, It's okay, Hakeem, I'm very sorry.
(18:48):
I beat your friend's ass. And I sent out a
picture because Colin all read the Democrat ran against me
last time was buddies with Keem Jeffries, and he lost
by nine points in a million votes. And look, it
showed who the Democrats are right now. They support illegal
immigrants and wife beaters and gang members.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Center. I want to talk about what we just found
out with DOGE, and I think it's an important point
to reset because we saw a lot of oppress about
DOAGE early on. We've now moved on to other topics,
or I say the media has moved on to other topics.
It does not mean that Elon Musk and the DOGE
staff have stopped doing their job. In fact, they are
(19:29):
still finding incredible amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse, and
they sat down with Jesse Waters at Fox to kind
of give an update of like, hey, here we are.
It was also a very cool interview because what we're
witnessing is Elon Musk showing these do gooders that he
has brought in they can be making a lot more
(19:50):
money in the private sector. There are a lot of young,
brilliant minds that are finding all of this information and
digging and digging in our government, and he's letting them
tell the stories of what they're finding. I love this
management style from him.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well, I got to say, every week they are new
bombshells that are coming out from DOGE of just astonishing waste,
fraud and abuse. And so this latest interview that the
Elon did with Jesse Waters, he laid out, for example,
that the Institute of Peace had a one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban. Now,
(20:29):
now just let that sink in for a minute. One
hundred and thirty grand to a former member of the Taliban,
and that is from the quote Institute a Peace. Nothing
like paying a terrorist if you're the Institute of Peace.
And by the way, that same institute a piece deleted
one terabyte of accounting records when DOGE entered their headquarters,
(20:54):
so they came in. I got to tell you, if
you're prosecuting criminal conduct at a court of law and
a defendant destroys evidence, deletes data on their computer, burns papers,
burns receipts, burns photographs that can be taken as evidence
of guilt, the fact that you are deleting evidence. But
(21:16):
here give a listen to the description of what they
found about from the Institute a piece.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, so it was by far the least peaceful agency
that we've worked with. Ironically, of course, Additionally, we found
that they were spending money on things like private jets,
and they even had a one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
This is this isreal.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We don't encounter that in those agencies.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
What was the money going to the Taliban for?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So it was a contractor. They received one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars for generic services. And to Elon's point,
there was not actually a clear description of what the
contractor services were for. But was it for opium unclear?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Or weapons?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Or not for a broad oh yeah, And you.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Naturally have to ask the question how did we get here?
Like when the country was founded, there were only four agencies.
Today there are over four hundred, so there's been a
one hundred x increase in the number of agencies since
the founding of the nation. And thanks to President Trump,
He's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce
the number of agencies in the government, and the Institute
Apiece was one of them, which is why our team
went into try and understand what was going on. And
(22:21):
that's when we found all the craziness, like the weapons
and their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah, oh yeah, that.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The evidence, right. So just a few hours after we
got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant
had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from
several leaders. So you'd have to ask the question, well,
why would somebody do that if the Doch team fortunately
was able to recover that data with the help of
a few great employees at the Institute a Peace And
I think the most troubling thing was they received fifty
five million dollars a year from Congress, and any money
(22:51):
that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they
would sweep it into a private bank account which had
no Congressional oversight, and that's what they would use to
find things like events at their headquarters and the private jets.
And so I think it's a great example because most
Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of
these smaller agencies. And this is a i think the
most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that
(23:14):
we're finding.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So the agencies are hiding money from you, they're sending
it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Buildings at the Institute of Peace.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
At the Institute of Peace, that's right. So this is
a cover up. When you guys roll in this one
cover up, they delete a vast amount of financial information.
That's really a definition of a cover up. Isn't that
illegal to delete evidence? Yes, shred documents.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that that Congress
would certainly want to know where the congressionally appropriated funds
are going from taxpayers when you.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you
refer this to the Department of Justice?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
In this case, we did refer the evidence in the
accounting example to the FBI and DJ We're proud to
do that. So yes we did, because.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
This and says show I mean, let's just go back
to what you said center a moment ago and dive
into this a little bit more. If this is that
type of activity in this type of cover up and
referring this to the DJ What would the next step
be on that? And then also what can Congress do
if anything, knowing now what they've just told you.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Look, I got to say almost every word of that
is shocking. That they gave one hundred and thirty grand
to Afre, a member of the Taliban. That's astonishing. That
they spent taxpayer money on private jets. That's astonishing that
the Institute of Peace had an armory with a whole
bunch of weapons. Now let me repeat that the Institute
(24:53):
of Peace apparently felt the need to be packing. And
when does showed up, they started to leading their accounting records,
which screams guilt. By the way, when when President Trump
did the interview with ABC News in the Oval, one
of the things ABC News says is, well, there have
been no referrals to the Apartment of Justice, and President
(25:13):
Trump quite rightly says, how do you know that? Well,
this is one. It turns out there have been multiple
referrals to the Apartment of Justice for fraud. It's just
ABC News doesn't want people to know that. Here, I
want you to listen to another clip. This is another
clip where the Department of Education had a four billion
dollar COVID fund that let government employees draw down. They
(25:35):
used it for things like parties and to rent out
venues like Caesar's Palace. Give a listen.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Yeah, there was a four billion dollar COVID fund in
the Department of Education and there was no receipts required,
so people be just drawed down on it. And when
people looked into it, this wasn't just this was before us.
They found that money was being used to rent out
Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. And
so the one change that DOGE made with our education
(26:02):
is we had the simple requirement that if you draw
down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was
the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt.
And upon doing so, Yes, nobody drew down any money anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yes, but we didn't say that we'd check the receipt.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You could send a fake receipt, you could send a
picture of your.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Dog, anything, anything, anything.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
But as soon as we asked for anything at all,
that something, the requests.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
They were renting Caesar's Palace.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yes, they were like basically partying on the tax payer money.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Basically partying on the taxpayer's money. Okay, it sounds criminal.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Let me just ask, like, like the man on the street,
did you think the Department of Education was spending your money,
your tax payer money to rent out Caesar's palace. That
is the very definition of waste, fraud and abuse. Four
billion dollars in a COVID slush fund with zero receipts required.
(27:10):
Let me just say thank god for President Trump and
Elon Musk and Doge uncovering this revealing it because it
is completely indefensible. And by the way, the Democrats, just
like they've decided they're all in for illegal immigrants and
gang members and violent criminals and white theaters, they're also
all in for this kind of waste, fraud and abuse,
including running out Caesar's Palace with your tax payer money.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It's truly an incredible story, and this is where we
hope you take the show. You share it on social media.
Hit that share button ford it you can send a
text message to a friend so they can hear exactly
what we just played for you. And don't forget hit
that subscriber auto down with button. Wherever you're listening to
this podcast, you never miss an episode and the Centain
and I will see you back here tomorrow for our
(27:54):
weekend review. Don't miss that as well.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
We'll see you here tomorrow
Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson
with you on this Friday morning, It's so nice to
have you with us. And Senator we have got some
very big legislation that you've been fighting hard on. The
White House got on board and worked with you, and
I can't believe it, but this is something that's actually
bipartisan happening in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, the Take It Down Act has now passed the
United States Senator's past the House, and it is headed
to President Trump's desk to be signed into law. This
is legislation that protects kids, protects women online from revenge porn,
from deep fakes that are targeting more and more kids.
We're going to break all that down, explain how that
came to pass. We also have yet more facts about
(00:42):
the Maryland Man. The Maryland Man that the Democrats have
decided is their poster child. It is who they stand for.
It is the illegal alien MS thirteen member who now
we have growing evidence was also active in human trafficking.
We're going to break that evidence down as well. And finally,
dough Elon Musk is laying out yet more shocking revelations.
(01:03):
Doges uncovering. We're gonna we're gonna go through all those
as well.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Now, Centri, this is something you've been working on for
quite some time. The President got involved with this, the
first Lady got involved with this, and this is bipartisan
in nature, which is great to factually see Congress seation
thing on a bipartisan level. And this is gonna protect people,
a lot of young women and girls especially who have
(01:27):
been in essence blackmail by xes that wanted to put
out things that should never be on the Internet with
them in it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, this is unfortunately a growing problem. It is a
massive problem, and there are two big manifestations of it.
Number one are real images, non consential intimate images where
say you have a boyfriend and girlfriend and they take
explicit pictures of each other, that take explicit videos of
each other, and then they have an ugly breakup and
(01:54):
one or the other is pissed off and they say,
all right, I'm gonna stick it to you. I'm gonna
put these pictures, I'm gonna put these videos out online
and the whole world is going to see you. And
I got to say that is wrong. It is a
grotesque violation of your rights of your privacy, and it's
a problem we're seeing growing more and more. There's a
new iteration of it that is a product of technology,
(02:17):
which is now with artificial intelligence, you can create deep fakes,
where you can create images or videos of real people
that appear to be real and they're entirely fake. And
we are seeing the prevalence of deep fake non consensual
intimate images. It has grown three thousand percent last year.
(02:39):
Over ninety percent of the victims are either women or
teenage girls. And I'll tell you how this issue first
came to my attention. It came from a Texas girl
who was targeted by this, a girl named Elliston Barry
who last year she's fifteen. Now, last year she was fourteen.
She was in ninth grade, and she woke up one
(03:00):
Monday morning and her phone started blowing up and all
of her friends let her know that a classmate of hers,
a boy in her class, had taken what was a
perfectly innocent picture of her on social media and used
an AI app online to create deep fakes, and he
created what appeared to be naked pictures of her. Now
(03:23):
they weren't, but you couldn't tell from looking at him,
and then he sent them to every one of her classmates.
So this poor girl, Look, it's hard to be a teenager.
It's hard to be a teenage girl. But if you
could imagine the nightmare of every one of your classmates
thinking they're looking at naked pictures of you. She woke up,
she was in tears. It was horrifying, and what happened.
(03:44):
She's a Texan, So she and her mother, Anna called
my office and complained to me. They said, look, can
you help us. You're our senator, can you help us?
And I got to say my team did a great
job that they elevated it to me and put this
in front of me and said, look is in this horrible?
What happened to this girl? And we actually drafted legislation
(04:04):
to address this problem because as we looked at it,
it was becoming more and more common. And the Take
It Down Act that I wrote it does two things.
Number one, it makes it a crime, a federal felony
to post non consensual intimate images, either real images or
deep fakes that made through AI.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Clear that's where this has real teeth. You just said
it is a felony.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes, a felony with jail time. And a number of states,
including Texas, have criminalized revenge porn, but a lot of
those states they don't address deep fakes because deep fakes
are new, and so it's a hole in the law.
So part of what Elliston discovered in Texas is there
was nothing she could do about it. This kid could
(04:49):
send out these pictures and there was no consequence at all.
So number one, it makes it a crime, But number two,
there is a persistent problem that the tech platfor won't
take this garbage down. And in fact, when I introduced
the legislation, Ellison or mom came to DC. I sat
down with him in my office and when they sat
(05:09):
down with me, I asked them. I said, okay, what
happened to the pictures? And this was nine months after
the incident had happened, and they expressed enormous frustration. They
said Snapchat would not take them down. Elliston's mom had
called them and emailed them and repeatedly tried to get
them taken down. Nothing complete. Heisman stiff arm I got
(05:33):
to tell you, Ben. I turned to my team and
I said, I want you to get the CEO of
Snapchat on the phone today. I want those pictures down
today within two hours, ben they pulled them down. Now
you know what, It should not take a sitting US
senator making a phone call to get pictures like that
taken down. And so what we did we rode into
(05:55):
the law a legal obligation on the tech platforms part
that once the victim notifies them that they have to
take the pictures of the videos down immediately. I did
this legislation with Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat in the Senate.
We passed it through the Senate one hundred to nothing.
We did it in the last Congress, but unfortunately the
(06:16):
House didn't get it passed. So this Congress we passed
it again. And then one thing that was really terrific,
the First Lady Milania Trump, got actively involved. She came
to Capitol Hill, she pushed for the bill. She sat
down at a roundtable with Elliston with other victims of
this growing problem, and the First Lady leaned in and said,
(06:37):
to the House, take this up and get it done.
And this past week the House did. They passed it,
passed it overwhelmingly, and so now it is headed to
the president's President Trump talked about this bill in the
State of the Union. He told the House, get it done.
I want to sign it. It's now going to be
signed in the law, and it's going to protect women,
(06:57):
teenage girls, teenage boys all across the country from this
kind of victimization.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And this is where everyone should be proud because not
only as you mentioned, mandatory takedown, you got a forty
eight hours of notification by the victim or their representatives,
but the penalty violators face up to two years in
prison for offenses involving adults, up to three years if
a victim is a minor, and this is going to
send a very queer message you cannot do this anymore.
(07:25):
And if you do, you're.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
A real consequences. Yeah, and there are real consequences, and
I will tell you the take it down aspect. What
we did is we borrowed from another piece of legislation
that's already federal law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
So if you tweet out, let's say, a song from
the Lion King, it'll get pulled down within hours because
you can't tweet out copyrighted material. So we use that
(07:50):
same mechanism to notice and takedown mechanism, and we applied
it to these non consensual intimate images. So every tech
platform has an office that knows how to respond to this.
This protects every victim, and I'll tell you at our roundtable,
one of the victims was a South Carolina state legislator.
His son was targeted and it was a sextortion scam
(08:13):
and they threatened to release the pictures, and I got
to say, his son took his own life. Sometimes the
consequences are incredibly tragic, and so this bill protects every
potential victim.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Center We've got some breaking news, and I hope everyone
listening is taking notes on what we're about to tell
you and what you're gonna hear. This is yet again
another bombshell blowing up in the face of Democrats who
tried to turn a terrorist, an MS thirteen gang member
into just a Maryland man, a Maryland father, and they're
(08:45):
demanding a come back to America. They've flown down, using taxpayers'
money to head down to meet with him since he's
been deported, and they're demanding he come back. Now we
have audio that's saying who he really is.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, the Democrats made a really astonishing choice to go
all in in support of letting more illegal immigrants into
this country back into this country, and in particular defending
MS thirteen gang members and wife beaters, people who commit
domestic violence. It really is an astonishing decision that the Democrats. Obviously,
(09:22):
you have Chris van Holland, the Senator from Maryland who
flew down to El Salvador and basically played foot see
with this guy. You have House Democrats going down there.
You have Corey Booker doing a sit in on the
steps of the Capitol, all in defense of what they
say is this poorly targeted, poor defenseless Maryland Man. Well,
(09:46):
facts are stubborn things. I want you to listen to
this audio. This is the quote Maryland Man's wife testifying
in twenty twenty in court being a protective order, and
listen to what she says about this this individual who
the Democrats are now trying to turn into mother Teresa.
(10:08):
Give a listen.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I came to fill out a protective order. I think
it was in December, but I didn't show up to
the court because his family like washed my brain, telling
me that his dad was sick and not to do it.
So it's still I didn't do anything. But after that
it was like I would call the police. I have
(10:32):
a lot of police reports. And I kept trying to
get to the door basement to try to open the door,
and then like he pushed me. So then when I
was able to go outside to get a phone, I
called out one from a disconnected phone. Now, they took
a long time to get to the house. It was
probably like twenty thirty minutes. So I saw a neighbor
walking his dog and I opened the door and I
(10:55):
was like help. And then when he heard me, like
he grabbed me from my hair and then he slapped me.
And then the neighbor he didn't know what to do,
he didn't know what to react. I have pictures of
their evidence, like all the bruises. Because even on Wednesday
he hit me like around like three in the morning.
He would just wake up and like hit me. And
then last Saturday, for my daughter's birthday party, before I
went to my daughter's birthday party, he slammed me three times.
(11:18):
And then last week I did call the police. My
sister called the police because he hit me in front
of my sister.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I listen to that senator and it makes me angry.
It makes me so sad for not only her but
also for the kids involved, because if you've ever known
someone that's gone through abuse like this, you never forget
what their stories sound like. And the part there that
she said, I quote have a lot of police reports.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, this was a repeated problem. According to his
wife's testimony in court, he repeatedly engaged in violence. He
punched her, he slapped her, He did so in front
of their kids, he did so in front of her sister.
That's what her testimony was. And understand, this is who
the Democrats are elevating and saying it is a travesty
(12:08):
of justice that this violent wife beater is no longer
in this country now, mind you, despite his beating up
his wife, despite his being illegally in this country, despite
his being allegedly and two courts concluded an MS thirteen
gang member, the Democrats are all in and defending him.
(12:29):
And there's another piece of audio I want you to
listen to. And this is a piece of audio from
twenty twenty two, so just a couple of years ago,
and there was a traffic stop and he was stopped
driving a vehicle with eight people in the back end.
And I want you to listen to the police officers
in the traffic stop and what their assessment was, what
(12:51):
was going on. Give a listen to this.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, you're gonna hear some road noise of cars passing by,
just so you know what that is, and you will
hear this these police officers on body camera. Listen carefully.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You got right, you know what you got here?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
He's hauling these people for money, is what he's doing.
But sometimes they coil mingled opener, but.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Scruggling. There's eight people in the know, that's what an
extra seats. Yeah, yeah, so he's getting.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Paid all these people, probably to Maryland, I would say
about my guess, well, matches up with the Maryland dad thing. Right,
the Maryland man. They're like, oh, by the way, this
car has been retrofitted to add an entire another row
of seats. They've never seen a car this model with
this many seats in it. There's another example of the
(13:47):
human smuggling.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Look, look, this is Maryland man. He's hauling them to Maryland.
The police officer's immediate reaction, you know what this guy
is doing. He's hauling these people for money. Eight people.
They added an extra row of seats, so you've got
an illegal alien wife beater, who's an MS thirteen gang
member and who is actively engaged in human trafficking. This
is the poster child for the Democrats. This is who
(14:10):
they've decided to go all in on, saying, we want
this person back in America and we want more people
like him. And I got to say, we've also seen
a fairly amazing thing with the Democrats in the media
going crazy about an interview that President Trump did in
the Oval office with ABC News, and in particular, President
(14:32):
Trump asserted that he had MS thirteen tattooed on his knuckles,
and the media has been having a field day saying, no, no, no,
that's a lie, it's photoshopped. It's not true. So you
can go and look at the pictures, go look online
what he has tattooed on his knuckles. He's got tattoos
on each of the four knuckles of his fingers he has.
The first tattoo is a marijuana leaf. Now marijuana leaf
(14:57):
stands for m second tattoo is of a smiley face.
The smiley face stands for s. The third tattoo on
his middle finger is of a cross, and the cross
the up and down stands for one and the fourth
tattoo on his index finger is of a skull, which
(15:20):
is the same shape as the number three. Now what
he actually has is those four tattoos, and what the
White House tweeted out was a picture of those four tattoos,
and then it rode above them. Above the marijuana leaf,
it wrote an M because that's what the marijuana leaf
stands for. Above the smiley face, it wrote an S
because that's what the smiley face stands for. Above the cross,
(15:40):
it wrote a one because that's what the cross stands for.
And above the skull, it wrote a three because that's
what the skull stands for. So the four symbols are
of MS thirteen. Now the Democrats and the corporate media
are clutching their pearls, going, no, it didn't actually have
the MS thirteen. That was a photoshop. Well, yes, but
(16:03):
what it did have is clearly symbolizing MS thirteen, And
they don't want people to know that, because it is
fairly amazing that a Keen Jeffries, the Democrat Leader in
the House, Chuck Schumer, Chris van holland the Democrats in
both the Senate and House have decided MS thirteen gang members.
(16:24):
That's who we defend. That's who we're backing up.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You also look at this individual and the new DEA
nominee said that this guy's tattoos consists with MS thirteen membership,
again blowing the narrative out of the water from the
left that these tattoos are meaningless, they have nothing to
do with MS thirteen. The guy who does this for
a living is like, yes, we see this all the time. Yes,
(16:50):
this is what it looks like when you have these
tattoos on your knuckle. Yes, this is what these gang
members do. And then you go back to what we're
now finding out in this record and the traffic stop here,
and also from new reporting from basically in essence a
whistleblower that is saying that not only was this guy
(17:11):
attacking his wife and running human trafficking, but we also
know from these court filings that have come out that
his wife has said that she was afraid because he
said he was going to kill her. So this is
a guy that is threatening to kill his wife based
on what we're seeing from the court documents, and he's
(17:32):
an individual that is out there that should never have
been in this country and he should be gone. And
so when you look at this. I truly am amazed
that the Democratic Party is saying, we don't care about
American citizens. We don't come to your aid, we don't
come to your comfort when these people commit crimes against you. No, no,
(17:52):
we want to go find the ones that have been deported
and bring him back to America. How in the hell
do do they think the American people are going to
stay with him on this issue, Senator.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, look, it's where they are. And I got to
say this week, I got in a Twitter battle with
the Keem Jeffries, the head of the Democrats in the House.
I tweeted out, I said, Akim, allowing your members to
fly to Al Salvador on the taxpayer's dime to play
footsie with violent gang members was obviously astonishingly bad politics.
Please keep it up. And I got to say, a
(18:23):
Kiem Jeffries, he got really angry and he's like, and
he tweeted back, this is from someone who abandoned his
state during the historic winter storm to vacation in kang Kun.
No one takes you seriously at this point. And that's
Leader Jeffries to you, Edward. Well, sorry, Hakeem, Leader Jeffries
is not what I call you. But it's okay. I
just tweeted back at him, It's okay, Hakeem, I'm very sorry.
(18:48):
I beat your friend's ass. And I sent out a
picture because Colin all read the Democrat ran against me
last time was buddies with Keem Jeffries, and he lost
by nine points in a million votes. And look, it
showed who the Democrats are right now. They support illegal
immigrants and wife beaters and gang members.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Center. I want to talk about what we just found
out with DOGE, and I think it's an important point
to reset because we saw a lot of oppress about
DOAGE early on. We've now moved on to other topics,
or I say the media has moved on to other topics.
It does not mean that Elon Musk and the DOGE
staff have stopped doing their job. In fact, they are
(19:29):
still finding incredible amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse, and
they sat down with Jesse Waters at Fox to kind
of give an update of like, hey, here we are.
It was also a very cool interview because what we're
witnessing is Elon Musk showing these do gooders that he
has brought in they can be making a lot more
(19:50):
money in the private sector. There are a lot of young,
brilliant minds that are finding all of this information and
digging and digging in our government, and he's letting them
tell the stories of what they're finding. I love this
management style from him.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well, I got to say, every week they are new
bombshells that are coming out from DOGE of just astonishing waste,
fraud and abuse. And so this latest interview that the
Elon did with Jesse Waters, he laid out, for example,
that the Institute of Peace had a one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban. Now,
(20:29):
now just let that sink in for a minute. One
hundred and thirty grand to a former member of the Taliban,
and that is from the quote Institute a Peace. Nothing
like paying a terrorist if you're the Institute of Peace.
And by the way, that same institute a piece deleted
one terabyte of accounting records when DOGE entered their headquarters,
(20:54):
so they came in. I got to tell you, if
you're prosecuting criminal conduct at a court of law and
a defendant destroys evidence, deletes data on their computer, burns papers,
burns receipts, burns photographs that can be taken as evidence
of guilt, the fact that you are deleting evidence. But
(21:16):
here give a listen to the description of what they
found about from the Institute a piece.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, so it was by far the least peaceful agency
that we've worked with. Ironically, of course, Additionally, we found
that they were spending money on things like private jets,
and they even had a one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars contract with a former member of the Taliban.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
This is this isreal.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We don't encounter that in those agencies.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
What was the money going to the Taliban for?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So it was a contractor. They received one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars for generic services. And to Elon's point,
there was not actually a clear description of what the
contractor services were for. But was it for opium unclear?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Or weapons?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Or not for a broad oh yeah, And you.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Naturally have to ask the question how did we get here?
Like when the country was founded, there were only four agencies.
Today there are over four hundred, so there's been a
one hundred x increase in the number of agencies since
the founding of the nation. And thanks to President Trump,
He's now signed two executive orders to start to reduce
the number of agencies in the government, and the Institute
Apiece was one of them, which is why our team
went into try and understand what was going on. And
(22:21):
that's when we found all the craziness, like the weapons
and their armory. We found the payments to the Taliban.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah, oh yeah, that.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The evidence, right. So just a few hours after we
got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant
had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from
several leaders. So you'd have to ask the question, well,
why would somebody do that if the Doch team fortunately
was able to recover that data with the help of
a few great employees at the Institute a Peace And
I think the most troubling thing was they received fifty
five million dollars a year from Congress, and any money
(22:51):
that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they
would sweep it into a private bank account which had
no Congressional oversight, and that's what they would use to
find things like events at their headquarters and the private jets.
And so I think it's a great example because most
Americans don't know what's going on at a lot of
these smaller agencies. And this is a i think the
most extreme case of some of the wasteful spend that
(23:14):
we're finding.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So the agencies are hiding money from you, they're sending
it to the Taliban. They have loaded weapons in the department.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Buildings at the Institute of Peace.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
At the Institute of Peace, that's right. So this is
a cover up. When you guys roll in this one
cover up, they delete a vast amount of financial information.
That's really a definition of a cover up. Isn't that
illegal to delete evidence? Yes, shred documents.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that that Congress
would certainly want to know where the congressionally appropriated funds
are going from taxpayers when you.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you
refer this to the Department of Justice?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
In this case, we did refer the evidence in the
accounting example to the FBI and DJ We're proud to
do that. So yes we did, because.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
This and says show I mean, let's just go back
to what you said center a moment ago and dive
into this a little bit more. If this is that
type of activity in this type of cover up and
referring this to the DJ What would the next step
be on that? And then also what can Congress do
if anything, knowing now what they've just told you.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Look, I got to say almost every word of that
is shocking. That they gave one hundred and thirty grand
to Afre, a member of the Taliban. That's astonishing. That
they spent taxpayer money on private jets. That's astonishing that
the Institute of Peace had an armory with a whole
bunch of weapons. Now let me repeat that the Institute
(24:53):
of Peace apparently felt the need to be packing. And
when does showed up, they started to leading their accounting records,
which screams guilt. By the way, when when President Trump
did the interview with ABC News in the Oval, one
of the things ABC News says is, well, there have
been no referrals to the Apartment of Justice, and President
(25:13):
Trump quite rightly says, how do you know that? Well,
this is one. It turns out there have been multiple
referrals to the Apartment of Justice for fraud. It's just
ABC News doesn't want people to know that. Here, I
want you to listen to another clip. This is another
clip where the Department of Education had a four billion
dollar COVID fund that let government employees draw down. They
(25:35):
used it for things like parties and to rent out
venues like Caesar's Palace. Give a listen.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Yeah, there was a four billion dollar COVID fund in
the Department of Education and there was no receipts required,
so people be just drawed down on it. And when
people looked into it, this wasn't just this was before us.
They found that money was being used to rent out
Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. And
so the one change that DOGE made with our education
(26:02):
is we had the simple requirement that if you draw
down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was
the only change that was made. You must upload your receipt.
And upon doing so, Yes, nobody drew down any money anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yes, but we didn't say that we'd check the receipt.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You could send a fake receipt, you could send a
picture of your.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Dog, anything, anything, anything.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
But as soon as we asked for anything at all,
that something, the requests.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
They were renting Caesar's Palace.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yes, they were like basically partying on the tax payer money.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Basically partying on the taxpayer's money. Okay, it sounds criminal.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Let me just ask, like, like the man on the street,
did you think the Department of Education was spending your money,
your tax payer money to rent out Caesar's palace. That
is the very definition of waste, fraud and abuse. Four
billion dollars in a COVID slush fund with zero receipts required.
(27:10):
Let me just say thank god for President Trump and
Elon Musk and Doge uncovering this revealing it because it
is completely indefensible. And by the way, the Democrats, just
like they've decided they're all in for illegal immigrants and
gang members and violent criminals and white theaters, they're also
all in for this kind of waste, fraud and abuse,
including running out Caesar's Palace with your tax payer money.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
