Speaker 1 (00:45):
Now full up?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
If you want to see a great ratioed posts Today,
Chuck Shimmer posted a picture of the East Wing portico
being demolished and said this is the picture the White
House doends that what you see three point nine likes,
fourteen thousand comments. One of the best ones was Chuck

(01:08):
the White House provided this picture. God, these people are awful.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I happened to catch Brett Bear's program last night and
he was he had Hugh Hewett and a Democrat strategist
and some reporter from the Wall Street Journal, and they
were talking about the renovations to the East Wing and
they were all laughing about how the Democrats are trying
to make this such a big story, and I there's

(01:40):
so many renovations that have been done and so much
remodeling that has been done over the course of the
history that entire building that it really it's just another
example Trump derangement syndrome. As I said yesterday, when I
first saw the picture of the you know, the cranes
and the whatever it is, the bacco of some sort

(02:03):
that was tearing down the walls, I find yes, I
find that jarring because you don't know how many times
I've walked, you know, front through that part of the
East Wing, or I've come from Treasury and it's a
nice day, so I've walked outside and I've walked along
and come through the northeast gate to walk over to

(02:26):
Pebble Beach, to walk into the Oval office, to walk
into the West Wing. And so yeah, when it's something
that's familiar and you see it being torn down. Yeah,
it's it's jarring, particularly when it's such an iconic building
like the White House. But good grief, people get over it.
Nobody got upset about the swimming pool or the basketball court.

(02:47):
Nobody got upset when tr built the built the West Wing.
I forget who actually changed the Oval Office into the
Oval Office, you know, but that was changed. It was
not always the Oval Office. In ignorance of history is
just fascinating to me. I have said that one of

(03:08):
the things that bugged me the most about illegal immigration
was the human and child sex trafficking that took place
between the mules that were working for the cartels, the
cartels themselves or other or other crime syndicates were doing it.
But whatever, we now know that it was really bad.

(03:31):
We now know it was actually worse than what we
thought it was and what Trump has done. When you
think about the America First Agenda, which I may get
to this in a minute, but you know, I said
from the very beginning that America First, as the title

(03:52):
of his agenda, is going to cause some consternation among
some people because there was the America First movement headed
by Charles Lindbergh, trying to keep us out of keep
us out of a world war. They're not the same.
They're not the same at all. So let me tell

(04:14):
you a story. On the morning of September second, in Warres, Chihuahua,
Mexican law enforcement rated a remote safehouse and they uncovered
one of the most grotesque cartel operations they say that
they had ever encountered. They didn't find just the usual drugs,

(04:36):
but they found rudimentary medical equipment and tarps that were bloodstained.
The evidence that they found confirmed what the investigators had
suspected but had so far been unable to prove, that

(04:57):
growing US demand demand in this country had created a
black market in human babies. Now, before we even think
about the mothers of those babies, and before we even
think about the babies themselves, think about the demand side

(05:20):
of this equation. You have supply and demand. Right, let's
be pretty crude about this. You have a demand, and
so an entrepreneur in this case happens to be a
criminal organization decides, Oh, we see a demand out there.
We can supply the product. The product happens to be babies.

(05:43):
But the demand now I'm going to tell you more
about the product the supply in this a minute. But
how deranged does an individual have to be to want
an look? I understand the desire for children, maybe not
so much in the generations you know behind me, but

(06:07):
it is human nature to want to reproduce, to populate.
But when that desire to be a mother or a
father to reproduce and have children becomes such that you
turn a blind eye to where that child is coming from,

(06:30):
you're as big of a problem as the cartels themselves.
And I think that is an another indication. Well, I
didn't really think about today's program in terms of a
of a thread through all of it, but it is
about morality. And here we have demand for babies so

(06:54):
growing that we've created a black market in human babies.
So the Popo arrested a brutal female gangster. Her name
is Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar. She was running an operation
that procured these babies, lured young mothers, performed illegal c

(07:15):
sections on the streets. They called her Lo Diablo, the
she Devil. So for months, the US Counter Terrorism Center,
the NCTC, they've been tracking Lo Diablo's movements. The dossier
they compiled before the raid described a woman who was

(07:36):
an expert. She would go out and she would find
the most impoverished impregnant girls that she could find anywhere
in Mexico or any other Central or South American country,
impoverished pregnant girls, and then she'd real them in with
promises of work or money or both. The girls in

(08:00):
La Diobolo's grip, the promises proved obviously going to be empty.
The babies were cut from the young mother's bodies and
sold for as much as two hundred and fifty thousand pesos.
You want to do the math, fourteen thousand dollars to

(08:22):
American buyers in El Paso knowingly. I mean, you can't
tell me that wasn't knowingly knowingly buying a baby for
fourteen thousand dollars. The cops believe that many of the girls.
Now they say they use the word many. My guess

(08:44):
is it's probably most. But many of the girls didn't
survive the ordeal. And so then what happens. Oh, now
you've got more product, You've got the baby. Oh too bad,
mom died. Oh now we've got kidneys, we've got hearts,
we've got eyes, we've got all sorts of body parts

(09:05):
that we can now sell too. Happy Friday morning, everybody.
This almost seems too macab to be true, but a
reporter has talked to a mother of one victim who

(09:27):
persuaded this reporter that indeed it can and does happen. Quote.
My daughter was a good person. She never wronged anybody.
She was so excited to have her baby. Investigators asked
me if my daughter wanted to sell her baby, but
that wasn't the case. She was already buying everything for
her son and telling her daughter how she was going

(09:48):
to be a big sister. But then she started to
break down as she described going out searching police stations, hospitals, morgues,
any place that might give her answers after her daughter
went missing. Only after Lo Diobolo's arrest. Only if she

(10:09):
had arrest were investigators able to confirm that the daughter
had been one of Lo Diobolo's alleged victims. She'd been
lured with the promise of money so she give get
prenatal care. In the end, she gets butchered. She gets butchered.
That's the best word for it. You think this is

(10:33):
just an anomaly. You think This is just one example. Apparently,
these stories are all across Mexico's northern states, where women
vanish every single day into the machinery of organized crime.
Oh here we go again, organized crime. Maybe not the mafia,

(10:54):
this time the cartels. I've been to Warrez. It's a
pretty crappy place. It's been synonymous, It's become synonymous with femicide,
the killing of women often dismissed as just collateral damage
in the cartel Warslau Diobolo's alleged operation is only the

(11:15):
latest twist in really awful, awful stories. So many of
the women that fell prey into this who fell into
this operation where you know, they get promises of easy cash,
You get promises of jobs during your final months of
the pregnancy. You're worried, you know you're you're a baby mama,
and you know where's dad? No idea where the dad is.

(11:37):
Of course, others would get lured in with invitations to
make new friends or to meet a man that is
interested in taking a pregnant woman on a date. One
woman told the reporter that she narrowly escaped this network.
You see being promised simple legal work for quick bay

(11:57):
and wars and nothing really seemed suspicious, she says. But
then my friend had been working with people in the
Warriors and making money, so I guess she told them
to contact me over messages. The guy made it seem
like a good deal and I wouldn't have to stay long.
They said they wanted to help me because I'm pregnant,
and they kept telling me how much money I would
make with them. She described being contacted over Facebook. Apparently

(12:26):
the individual was very persistent urging them to meet. Now,
think about this. You know, unmarried, young, pregnant woman lives
in a craphole country, lives in a craphole place, a
craphole state. No it's not Colorado, but you know she

(12:47):
lives in a craphole place. Now, a relative of hers
became suspicious and said, you know, wait, this seems odd.
So the woman backed out of the meeting. Her testimony
is now part of the prosecutor's case, and that survival
of that one woman gives us a glimpse into the
mechanics of the trade, recruitment, transport, coercion. Investigations into this

(13:15):
network on both sides of the border are just now
beginning to start. Now, before I go any further. I
want to say something that you may consider crass, but
I believe this from the bottom of my heart. The Democrats,

(13:35):
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, everybody including Republicans who are open borders,
but anybody who stood by, in particular during the past
four years of a Biden presidency when the borders were
literally just the gates were just not opened. The gates

(13:55):
were removed and just said anybody that wants to come
on in. You facilitated this. You are the ones that
facilitated this because they all started, they all started running
toward those northern states in Mexico, whether it was or

(14:16):
As or anywhere else, because they saw the lure that
we were creating. And then you had the demand on
this side of the border, where people desperate for babies
were willing to look sideways or turn their eyes completely
knowing that this just can't be right. But I want

(14:38):
a baby so badly, I'll pay fourteen grand to get
this baby. A Mexican law enforcement source, speaking on the
condition of anonymity, said, there's a lot of talk that
these babies were sold into illegal adoption, but when we
check the phone contacts of the woman, law Diablo. The

(14:59):
men transferring the money and crossing the babies were smugglers.
We don't know where the babies eventually ended up. So
we got babies in this country. We have children and
through no fault of their own, have been bought by
their parents and their parents, the men and the women,

(15:24):
or the women, whatever the situation may be. I don't
give a rats ask whatever the situation may be, they
know intuitively what they've done. Now. They may care for
that baby, they may take great, you know, raise it
as wonderful parents. But how can you actually be a

(15:46):
wonderful parent when you know that you're complicit in that
kind of activity. Some reports that I got yesterday indicate
that this was like an industrial scale operation. The one
particularly more as a cartel, cutting babies straight out of
mothers and then selling them to the highest bidder. Now,

(16:12):
since January, the Southern border crackdown thanks to Donald Trump
has hit cartel profits harder than most I think policymakers,
members of Congress, I think, much more so than they realize.
All this strict enforcement, all the expanded surveillance has disrupted
some of the most lucrative human smuggling routes and slowed

(16:33):
the flow of babies and fentannel shipnts coming across the border.
So to compensate, the cartel's pivoted inventing new economies of violence,
baby trafficking, organ harvesting, crypto laundering. Every one of those
is a response to the lost revenue and every shift
in the American policy changes the underworld of organized crime.

(16:55):
Crackdowns don't end the business, they mutate the business. So
while we should celebrate, and I do celebrate the closing
of the border, we got to recognize that that's just
step one that the cartails were morphed into. Okay, we
can't get fentanyl across, and we can't even do it
out of Venezuela anymore because that damn Donald Trump is

(17:17):
now blowing up submarines and ships that are trying to
get across the Caribbean. So the oh, babies, that's a
pretty that's a that's a that's a profitable business. Let's
do that. The in the National counter Terrorism Center, the
director's guy named Joe Ken, I don't know Joe. He

(17:38):
calls it a terroced cartel operation, a phrase that was
once controversial. Oh, we can never refer to the cartels
as terrorists. But now that's been codified by Trump's designation
of the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization or foreign
terrorist organizations. This means that US counter terrorism infrastructure can

(18:04):
now be redirected against them, and I hope they do,
and I hope they really crack down on it, and
I hope they can eliminate it to the degree that
can be eliminated. But maybe we ought to start thinking
about the demand side of this equation, the people in
this country who drive that demand for those babies and
those organs.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Hey, Mike, this is Jennifer. Hey, I'm gonna have some
renovations done down at my software.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'll sell you some pictures sick freek. You need a
different kind of renovation, maybe mental, maybe physical. But then again,
most of my audience does need renovations, So you know,

(18:51):
they're just a bunch of goobers. Along the same lines
as we have with the human trafficking. Trump's recent military
strikes against the drug cartels that are operating out of
Venezuela and for that matter, other Latin American nations has, interestingly,

(19:11):
at least from my perspective, sharp or ignited some really
sharp debate about the legality.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Of those.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yet within the framework of Article two of the Constitution,
most legal scholars note that the president's actions are broadly
consistent with historical interpretations of his powers as commander in chief,
and of course, his authority to defend the country against
foreign threats. Under Article two, Section two, the president serves

(19:41):
as commander in chief of the armed Forces. That clause,
in particular, has long been interpreted to grant the executive
branch discretion to direct military operations abroad, particularly when those
actions protect the United States or its citizens. Justice Robert
Jackson observed in a nineteen fifty two case Youngstown Sheet

(20:05):
and Tube Company versus. Sawyer that the scope of presidential
power grows when Congress acquiesces or remains silent, precisely the
case we have going on here. Congressional resolutions to restrict
Trump's operations failed in the Senate earlier this month, but

(20:25):
set that aside for a moment. What's Congress done over
the past twenty years to control the border. I mean,
even our hero Ronald Reagan got snookered into actually allowing
more people in granting some amnesty. Trump has grounded his

(20:49):
legal justification in that Commander in chief authority, he asserts
that the cartel networks constitute an armed foreign threat engaged
in narco terrorism against this country, when in in October
twenty third briefing just yesterday, he argued that a formal

(21:12):
declaration of war is not necessary because the operations are defensive,
that they're targeting individuals responsible for bringing narcotics into this country.
Someone gave him some good talking points on that presidents
from both parties, Republican and Democrat alike, have taken military

(21:33):
action under Article two without explicit congressional authorization. Thomas Jefferson
his anti piracy operations in the early eighteen hundreds from
the shores of Triple E to Obama's twenty eleven air
campaign in Libya. Now, scholars at the Council and Foreign

(21:54):
Relations and the CSIS note that Trump's legal team has
drawn parallels to those precedents, and they emphasize the executive's
authority to respond to quote foreign non state actors conducting
hostilities against the United States. Now, they've also designated several

(22:18):
cartels Trinda Ragua, Columbia's National Liberation Army. They've designated both
of those, for example, as foreign terrorist organizations did that
earlier this year, So that frames his campaign as part
of an ongoing armed conflict, akin to the post nine
to eleven war on terror. Now that framing in pure

(22:41):
constitutional terms bolsters the presidents claimed that military force is
necessary for national defense, not just law enforcement. I think
the cabal is too busy focused on oh, this is
law enforcement, while you took away their due process rights
without giving them a miranda warning. What are we supposed
to do? Fly you know, fighter jets over the cigarette

(23:05):
boats as they go speeding across the Caribbean with you know,
some sort of loud speaker PA system. Hey, listen, we're
going to arrest. You have the right to remain sighted.
What do you think they're going to do. They're probably
stupid enough to fire on an F sixteen or an
F thirty five. Yeah, that's probably how done they are. Now,

(23:25):
Congress does retain the power to declare war, and they
still have the power to fund or to restrict military operations,
but that's pretty much the limit of what they can do. Historically,
they faced serious difficulties constraining unilateral executive action. Now there
was this recent Senate resolution that tried to limit Trump's

(23:48):
authority that was introduced, it failed to pass.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
It.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Let the president unimpeded in asserting his Article two powers.
Think about the War Powers Resolution of nineteen seventy three,
the War Powers Acting teen seventy three that requires presidential
consultation and reporting to Congress within forty eight hours of
initiating hostilities. But both Republican and Democrat administration Republican Democrat

(24:13):
presidents have treated that as advisory, not mandatory. So historically,
at least according to CSIS, that's the way that both
parties have interpreted the War Powers Resolution of nineteen seventy three. So,
taken together, the strikes against the cartels operating from Venezuela, Colombia,

(24:35):
Ecuador all fall squarely within the historical and constitutional scope
of the president's Article two powers as the commander in chief.
Then you couple that with classifying the narco trafficking networks
as terrorist entities posing in an imminent threat to US security.
Trump's operating within his constitutional duty to preserve, protect, and

(25:00):
defend the country. Now, I know that the political and
the moral debates will continue. This is the reason I
do this portion of the story after telling you the
earlier story about the human trafficking in babies and organs.
Do you think that's better or worse? Or she do

(25:21):
even compare trafficking babies and organs to hauling tons and
tons of fennel into the United States. I don't think
there's an equivalency there. I think they're both bad. I
think actually one's worse than the other. That's just my opinion.
So when you're trying to stop that kind of activity

(25:45):
and it's coupled with a cartel that is also dragging
drugs into the country too, once again because of the demand,
Well you can have all the political and moral debates
that you want, but I think the legal base basis
for these actions is clearly you rooted in precedent, and
it's reinforced by congressional acquiescence. So it appears constitutionally sound

(26:08):
under prevailing interpretations of executive authority. But I don't want
to gloss over the note that I make here about
congressional acquiescence. Oh, occasionally you'll hear a talking head on,
you know, you'll they'll get some congressman, usually that jerk
about whatever I can't remember his name from from New
York that will come on, and you know he wants

(26:29):
to denounce everything that Donald Trump does. If you know,
if Donald Trump, you know, wanted to build a memorial
to Mother Teresa, he hit object to it for some reason.
But I think it's important to note that Congress has
remained silent. They've acquiesced. Now they're a equal branch, they're

(26:51):
separate branch of government. We have these co equal branches
of government, and each one of them has, you know,
certain duties, powers and responsibility. And if Congress wanted to,
which is kind of interesting considering that we're in a
shutdown right now, if Congress wanted to fund the military,
they could, which they decided not to do thanks to

(27:11):
the Democrats. But omb and the Treasury Secretary know that
there is plenty of money. There's lots of money that
if they really wanted to, they could figure out a
way to go ahead and pay those paychecks. Because as
I've tried to explain, the appropriations process, before money gets appropriated,

(27:33):
that means that the Office of Management and Budget has
let's just say, a bazillion dollars, So they got a
bazillion dollars there that they've been authorized to spend by Congress.
But that money doesn't get spent, sometimes even in the
year in which it's authorized and appropriated. When I should

(27:53):
have been Washington for the first time in twenty twenty
inauguration of twenty twenty one, twenty twenty one, end up
dating myself in August. In January two thousand and one,
there was money within FEMA that had been appropriated ten
years earlier that was still waiting to be spent. So

(28:15):
one of the things I had to do is figure
out what was the money appropriated for. Why hasn't it
been spent. Has that project been taken care of? If
it's been taken care of, this is money that we
can either one use another projects, or we can return
it to the treasury. We can return it to OMB
and say, hey, this is money that was in our
you know, on our balance sheet, but money that we've

(28:36):
never spent. That exists across the entirely of the federal government.
So when you take all these things together, the strikes
against the cartels operating out of Venezuela, Columbia and Ecuador,
it falls squarely within the historical and the constitutional scope
of the President's Article two powers he is the commander

(28:56):
in chief. And then by classifying them as he did.
He has the authority to preserve, protect, and defend the nation.
These are when you think about and it's hard. This
is hard to do. But because we quickly forget and

(29:18):
we get in the vernacular of Washington, d c. It
becomes obe overtaken by events. And what's been overtaken by
events here is the fact that we see all of
these things being done, and so we are excited and
we focus on what's being done now, and once again

(29:41):
forgetting our history. We forget that for just the past
four years that this problem was exacerbated to the nth degree.
And finally we're showing that it could have been stopped.
It could have been stopped, and Congress do a damned
thing to stop him from stopping that. When I want

(30:04):
to give just because I you know, I love history.
When Jefferson took office in eighteen oh one, the Barbary
States of North Africa, particularly Triple E where we get
from the shores of Triple Y, we're demanding tribute, annual
tribute from the United States in order to allow American
ships safe passages through the Mediterranean. Jefferson refused the payments,

(30:26):
so the Pasha Triple Le declared war on the United States,
and he did that, but it's kind of funny. By
cutting down the American flag at the US consulate, that
was apparently the symbolic act of hostility. Now, Congress wasn't
an incession, So Jefferson faced the constitutional dilemma, do I
have the power to use force abs in a formal

(30:49):
declaration of war. His conclusion was that as commander in chief,
he could deplore naval He could deploy naval forces defensively
to protect American ships from attack without congressional authorization. So
that's when he dispatched a small naval squadron to the
region to defend American commerce and to repel those from

(31:12):
Triple E. Now, he maintained that his actions were defensive,
not offensive. That is, he was not making war, so
he did not need Congress to declare war. Rather, he
was resisting war that had been made upon the United States.
For example, when Pearl Harbor was attacked, Roosevelt asked Congress

(31:38):
to declare war against Japan. He did so because he
wanted to make war against Japan. He didn't want to
just defend you know, Hawaii. He wanted to go to
Japan and deliver the war to them, and so he did.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
So.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Once Congress reconvened in back in eighteen oord one, it
effectively ratified Jefferson's decision by passing the Act for the
Protection of Commerce and Seamen of the United States against
the Tripoli Cruisers of eighteen oh two. That law formally
authorized the President to employ such of the armed vessels

(32:17):
of the United States as meet as may as he
may judge to be requisite to protect commerce and capture
enemy ships. So here you have a decision in the
Barbary crisis, setting back in eighteen oh one, a durable
constitutional precedent that the President may initiate limited military force

(32:39):
and response to foreign aggression, and of course here against
non state actors without prior authorization. Now Congress still has
the power to ratify, expand or determinate the operations. They
still have the power of the purse. And even though
they have the power of the purse, they would have
to be very specific. You cannot spend money to do X.

(33:06):
What Republican Are Democrats going to stand up and say
you cannot spend money to stop fentanyl from coming into
the United States. I just think that's when you start
getting into the practical considerations of how the Constitution operates.
Congress again an equal, separate organization of the United States government,

(33:34):
and they're going to acquiesce in it because politically, I think,
maybe with the exception of some of the Marxist wing
of the Democrat Party, are not going to stand up
and say, oh no, no, no, no, you can't do that.
You have to wait for us to debate a war
powers resolution ain't gonna happen. So, in essence, Jefferson used
his constitutional authority not to declare or start a war,

(33:59):
but to defend American interests and to defend our sovereignty
on the high seas. Trump's doing exactly the same thing. Everybody,
take a deep breath and shut up and sit down.
