Speaker 1 (00:00):
History was made as there is a new pope that
has been named to lead the Catholic Church, and this
pope is coming from the United States of America. It
was a historic moment as Cardinal Robert Francis Privos of
Chicago has been elected as the two hundred and sixty
seventh Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. This marks the

(00:21):
first time an American is assented to the papacy. The
announcement was made following the appearance of the white smoke
from the Sistine Chapel signaling the successful conclusion of the conclave.
President Donald Trump said this about the big announcement.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
They have already spoken to us and we'll see what happens.
But again, to have the vote from the United States
of America, that's a great honor. That's a great honor.

from America, and I said, that's great.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The Pope, in his first addressed from the balcony of
Saint Peter's, greeted the crowd with peace be with all
of you. He emphasized themes of unity, inclusiveness, and peace,
reflecting a commitment to bridging divides within the church. At
the end of the day, this is a great day
for anyone in the Catholic faith, and certainly a great

(01:21):
day when it comes to history, as President Trump put it,
for everyone in this country, having the first pope ever

nine seven to two Patriot victory. President Donald Trump and
the UK Prime Minister Starmer announced a new trade agreement

(03:32):
between the United States and the United Kingdom. And this
is one of many apparently coming down the pipeline from
the White House. Yet again, proving the media and those
on the left wrong. Now, this deal marks the first
major biledal trade pack since the implementation of Trump's global
tariff policy earlier this year. The key highlights of the

(03:54):
agreement include tariff reductions. The US will reduce tariffs on
Britain steel and aluminum exports to zero, and lower tariffs
on up to one hundred thousand UK made cars from
twenty seven point five percent to just ten percent. On
agricultural access, the UK will open its markets to more

(04:16):
American agricultural products, including beef and ethanol, helping American farmers
significantly by removing tariffs such as the nineteen percent duty
on US ethanol imports that currently was there. On industrial goods,
tariffs on British aerospace components, notably Rolls Royce engines, will

(04:36):
be eliminated, and the UK has agreed to purchase ten
billion in Boeing aircraft, yet again helping American workers now.
The non tariff barriers are also an issue. Both nations
have committed to reducing non tariff barriers and streamlining customs
processes to facilitate trade now. The Prime Minister Starmer described

(04:59):
the agreement has quote historic emphasizing its potential to protect
UK jobs and industries. President Trump highlighted the deal as
a significant step in expanding American exports and reducing trade
deficits that help the American workers. Here's the present in
his own words at the Oval Office announcing this deal.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Morning, I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a breakthrough
trade deal with the United Kingdom, credible country. Today is
a victory day for World War Two. We won the
war together exactly eighty years ago, so there could be
no more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement, and
its beautiful weather out. I will tell you that gear

(05:42):
beautiful weather is so perfect outside, but it's really in
particular the agreement with one of our closest and most
cherished allies, and we're so happy that that's the way
it worked out. I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer
and his very talented team for their outstanding work and partnership.

(06:05):
Today's agreement with the UK is the first and a
series of agreements on trade that my administration has been
negotiating over the past four weeks. With this deal, the
UK joins the United States and affirming that reciprocity and
fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Now, the big takeaway from what the President just said
there and this deal that's done with the UK is precedent.
The agreement is seen as nothing but a foundation for
future negotiations with other countries, with both countries expressing interest
and expanding discussions to also include digital services, technology and

(06:49):
other sectors as well. Now, this means that other countries
that are looking at doing a deal with the US
now what's expected of them. It also goes back to
the promise from the President those who got in line
first would get the best deals. And clearly this is
a deal that UK is proud of and the president
of the United States of America. What does this mean

(07:10):
for Wall Street? When we know where Wall Street closed
and it was big as the markets love the idea
of this happening. With the Dow finishing up two hundred
and fifty four points, the NASDA C up one hundred
and eighty nine, and the S and P five hundred
up thirty two. We expect more deals coming out of
the White House in the very near future as well,
so we'll keep you covered on all those details. This

(07:33):
story is one that is incredibly important, and I hope
it's one that all of you will share on social media.
Take this podcast and put it wherever you are, because
the story you're about to hear no one is talking about,
and that certainly includes the mainstream media. There was an
undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood prescribing hormones to miners with

(07:58):
minimal oversight healthcare. It's child abuse and it must be stopped,
is what the Live Action president Lee la Rose said
in a statement after they released the undercover sting operation
audio and video undercover phone calls. Release by the pro
life activist group Live Action revealed that in fact, Planned

(08:20):
Parenthood clinics across several states offered cross sex hormone treatments
to miners as young as sixteen with very little parental
or medical supervision. The group is now calling on Congress
to defund Planted Parenthood of the hundreds of millions of
dollars in taxpayer funding, Yes, your tax dollars are going

(08:43):
to Planned Parenthood, to the tune of hundreds of millions
of dollars. Live Action conducted the undercover investigation in which
a woman posing as a sixteen year old miner called
dozens of Planned Parenthood location seeking gender a fee care.
At least seven of the Planned Parenthood facilities told her

(09:06):
that they would prescribe cross sex hormones at the very
first appointment. In several instances, Planned Parenthood assured the caller
that she could choose to meet with a provider virtually
and have access to the cross sex hormones as quickly
as the same day, despite the person posing as a

(09:26):
miner saying they had just begun considering changing her sex.
Facilities in Minnesota and Oregon stated they could schedule the
miner within days or even on the same day. Five
facilities also stated no prior therapy, no prior mental health clearances,

(09:47):
no prior documentation was needed for the undercover individual to
obtain cross sex hormones. I'm going to play for you
this audio, and I hope every one of you share
this wherever you can on social media.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
It's a calling plan Parent.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Thank you for your being Planned parents had greater or
thanks you for calling plan parentad Minnesota and North Dakota, VA, Dakota.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Hello, get up for calling Planned Parents in time.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
My name is Sophia. I'm just trying to schedule some
gender firming care. I really just want to be able
to get some testostero to start my journey.

Speaker 5 (10:23):

Michelle appointments so you can come in too few one
of our providers.

Speaker 6 (10:29):

and does she have to be in there the whole time?

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Like?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
How does that work? Because I don't know if I'm
comfortable with that.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
At some point that the appointment, maybe he doesn't have
to be in the remning room with you.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
You said I could do it virtually, Yeah, so what
would that look like? So I just talked to a
doctor and then they'd be able to prescribe me.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Yeah, if it's virtual, you'll still meet with the doctor
and then go over like all menitory information at the end,
and they will then be for superving hormone that would
then be dripped out like your local party.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I don't need any like therapy or anything first, Like
you don't need any record of that, No, that I
know of. I don't need any sort of like records
of having gone to therapy or anything like.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
That, right, Yeah, so unless you have tricarent here and
it would not be required.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
There's nothing that I need before, right, Like I don't
need to like have records and meeting with a therapist
or anything, right because my parents definitely aren't to let
me do that. I just decided last week, and so
I kind of want to get in as soon as possible.

do have availability for like the next week of whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Do you think that if I came in, went over
everything with doctor and they could send them prescription.

Speaker 5 (12:02):

The provider is going to send a prescription to your
pharmacy the same day of your appointment.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh perfect, Okay, so I can get the hormones the
same day.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Harmon news a little bit to get it together, but yeah,
if not the same day, then more than likely the
very next perfect. Thank you for calling.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
This is exactly why President Donald Trump has been questioning
your dollars going to planned parenthood, and why so many
conservatives are advocating now for planned parenthood not receiving a
single dime of taxpayer dollars, Because this is what they're
doing with your money. You got to ask yourself this
question is I'm about to tell you this story, what

(12:46):
the hell was the federal government doing for the last
four years when it came to the issue of protecting
our children from sexual abuse, sex trafficking and pornography. I
say that because of Operation Restore Justice. Now, the Attorney
General Pambondi and the FBI Director Cashpatel announced the results

(13:07):
of Operation Restore Justice. It is a nationwide initiative targeting
child sex predators. Now over a five day period, the
operation has led to the arrest of two hundred and
five individuals and the most shocking part of all, the
rescue of one hundred and fifteen children that were being

(13:30):
abused on a daily and even hourly basis. The scope
of the operation involved all fifty five FBI field offices,
The Department of Justice's Child Exportation Section, and the US
Attorney's offices nationwide were also involved. You had notable arrest

(13:51):
that I'm going to go through in a moment, but
I want to play for you what the Attorney General
Pambondi and the FBI Director Cashptel had to say at
this announcement, as they are furious that this world was
allowed to continue, not really having to worry about the
federal government coming in and stopping them. Under the last administration.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
Computer and target our young children every single day. Our
law enforcement, our prosecutors sit there and deal with this
every day to kick these monsters off the street. Director
Patel and I almost daily in our meetings talk about
these cases and what it does to our officers and

(14:38):
our prosecutors, but also how many lives are being saved
and how many children are being helped by this. Director
Pateel is going to get into the specific cases with
you in a minute, but what I will tell you
is these depraved human beings, if convicted, we'll face the
maximum penalty in prison some life. We will find you,

(15:02):
we will arrest you, and we will charge you. If
you are online targeting a child, you will not escape us.
The FBI and the Department of Justice will come after
you and we will prosecute you. Parents. You have to
know this is so serious. Your child has no right
to privacy on the Internet none. You have to monitor

(15:26):
what your kids are doing, whether they're playing games on
the internet, on social media, any other websites that children
teenagers frequent, an online predator can find them. I always
say it's from instant message to instant nightmare.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Parents.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
They're talking to your kids like their other children, and
they're not. They're predators. They pose as children, They get
them sometimes to post explicit pictures of themselves after they
talk to them, and then in some cases they even
try to blackmail the children. The suicide rate among teens
ages fourteen to seventeen has increased as a result of

(16:09):
this as well, because teens are taking advantage of and
they're manipulated online by child predators. So all of you
being here today and covering this is so important because
parents need to know you've got to talk to your kids.
They think they're talking to other children, but most of
the time they're not. Director Patel, thank.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
You first and foremost to the Department of Justice, under
General Bondi's leadership and all its components. Because of your courage,
we are here today protecting our most vulnerable, our children.
Thank you, General Bondi. Thank you to so many of
your colleagues here today that do this work tirelessly day
in and day out, and never get a moment's thanks.

(16:51):
We should acknowledge all of them today. As the FBI Director,
I'm humbled to leave some of the greatest men and
women in law enforcement, and I want to thank you
our fifty five field offices, our ninety plus United States
Attorney's offices, ours Section, our crim Division here at the
Department of Justice, and our field offices throughout the country,
with lawyers and prosecutors and agents working tirelessly on some

(17:14):
of the harshest criminality we've ever seen. They don't take
breaks because our children deserve a free and open society.
I also want to just take a moment to emphasize
the priority of this Department of Justice and this FBI
our children. If you harm our children, you will be

(17:35):
given no sanctuary. There is no place we will not
come to hunt you down. There is no place we
will not look for you, and there is no cage
we will not put you in should you do harm
to our children. The prioritization of this administration in general BONDI,
has made it abundantly clear to child predators you will
be hunted down and you will be prosecuted. And that

(17:58):
is a refreshing thing to hear for the men and
women who do this work tirelessly. And it's also an
acknowledgment of the safety that we look forward to bringing America.
As the Attorney General mentioned, there are a couple of
cases worth highlighting. People in places of public trust have

(18:18):
violated not only the law, but that public trust, to
include teachers, law enforcement personnel, and other professionals that we
look to safeguard our children have not only violated the law,
but violated the trust. In Minneapolis, defendant Jeremy Francis Plonsky,
a Minneapolis state trooper and former Army reservedis, was arrested

(18:41):
for producing child sexual abuse material while in uniform. Not anymore.
In Norfolk, Virginia, defendant Jose Alexis Valdez Sosa, an illegal
immigrant from Mexico, again allegedly arrested for transporting a minor
across state lines. No more. Another example right here in Washington,

(19:04):
d C. And the Metropolitan Police Department officer Lynnwood Barnhill,
a former already convicted sex offender, was arrested again for
exploiting more victims, more children while on supervise release. These
are just three examples that show you the extent and
the depravity of these horrific crimes and we need to

(19:26):
team up together with the American public to find the rest.
I want to give a special thanks to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children for the tireless work
they do in partnering with us. And again I want
to thank the Department of Justice and all these folks
here and pamp thank you for never wavering to defend
our children.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
Thank you, thank you Director Patel. And this ranges from
we have cases from California to New York to Florida,
our entire country and just in one week again one
hundred and fifteen victims victims, we have two hundred and
five offenders have been charged in on week thanks to
the FBI. So think what's happening throughout this country. Children

(20:06):
are being taken advantage of and we have to stop it.
Thank you for covering this very important topic today.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Thank you, Short sweet and to the point by the
Attorney General there. This operation is part of Project's Safe Childhood.
It is a DOJ initiative launched in six to combat
child sexual exploitation and abuse. The DOJ collaborating with the
National Center for Missing Exploited Children and is now encouraging

(20:34):
the public to report suspected exploitation through the established hotlines
and online reporting tools. As you heard there, some of
those that were abusing these children included a Minnesota state
trooper and an Army reservist that we're arrested for allegedly
producing child sexual abuse material while in uniform. That former

(20:57):
Metropolitan Police Department officer in Washington, d D previously convicted
of sex offenses, charged with explorting additional victims while on
supervised release. An undocumented individual from Mexico arrest in Virginia
for allegedly transporting a minor across state lines for sexual purposes.

(21:18):
The question that we should all be asking is where
the hell is our government protecting these kids during the
last administration and why is it now a political issue
where Republicans are in favor of this and Democrats look
the other way. One thing I know for sure, I'm
glad that Pambonni and Caspertel are doing this, and it's

(21:39):
saving people's lives and saving people from countless abuses. Make
sure you share this podcast with your family and friends.
