Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Our nation is back, bigger, better, richer, and stronger than
ever before. Less than five months from now, our country
will celebrate an epic milestone in American history, the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our glorious American Independence. This
July fourth, we will mark two and a half centuries
(00:37):
of liberty and triumph progress.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
It is a story from NBC News that I didn't
get to an interview scented, and I wanted to bring
it up. It's a former CIA official who was arrested
for stealing over forty million dollars in gold bars from
the CIA. And it didn't stop there. The story from
NBC News. Now I'll get to some breaking news.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
A former CIA senior officer is accused get this, of
secretly stashing three hundred gold bars in his house that
he was kind of brushed off as a quote, work
related expense. That according to court documents and two people
familiar with the employment histories. NBC's Julie Ainsley breaking this
exclusive for us.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
We have breaking news here from our national security team
that a man who is a high level employee at
the CIA with top secret clearance has been arrested and
is facing charges in federal court here in the Eastern
District of Virginia because the FBI said that they went
into this man's home after getting complaints from his coworkers
about what might be happening with some of the money
(01:39):
he was using that he was requesting as reimbursement for
work related expenses. It turns out in his home they
found forty million dollars worth of gold bars. If you're
wondering how many bars that is, that's about three hundred
and eight. They said they also found two million dollars
in US currency, and they found thirty five luxury watches,
most of which were Rolex. This is according to court
(02:02):
documents that did not at first name the government agency.
But my colleagues here, Dan Dluz, Gary Grumback and I
have spoken to sources who said that this man was
an employee of the CIA, and the CIA and the
FBI saying in a statement in response to our questions
that this man is someone who was an employee of
the CIA, and that this was referred from CIA Director Ratcliffe,
(02:24):
and that they have been cooperating with the FBI in
this investigation. It sounds bizarre and we will continue to
stay on top of it. Another piece I want to
tell you about Tom is that not only is he
accused of taking government property, meaning all of that money,
but also falsifying his history, his education history, and military history.
(02:48):
He said he graduated from a university he did not
graduate from. They had no record of him attending same thing,
went for a graduate program as well as getting his
pilot's license to fly for the Navy. The FAA said
they had no record that he had a license to
fly a plane. So a lot more we're learning about
this man. His name is David Rush, he is a
resident of Virginia, and we will bring you more as
(03:10):
we learn it. And what is behind this bizarre scheme
that would lead for forty million dollars in gold bars
to be in this man's home.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So the initial reaction is what is the CIA doing
with all that money? There has to be some credit
given to the CIA for prosecuting the up because a
lot of agencies, government entities, companies, churches, when something bad
(03:41):
like this happens, they'll sweep it under the road because
it looks bad on them. But you want to encourage
them to come forward, So credit for that. That's a
big deal. That could have very easily been hidden away,
and I'm sure it has been in the past. Now,
what was this guy doing? How did he have access
(04:02):
to forty million dollars worth of gold bars? How many
gold bars are laying around in the CIA? What is
the access process? Is there an evidence room? How how
would you think you're going to get away with it?
Is it that easy to get away with that you
would think you could get away with? Or are there
(04:24):
that many people who have access to forty million dollars
in gold bars? Let's leave aside the fact that he's
clearly a sleeves ball. What are we doing with gold
bars lying around? These are some really serious questions, especially
when most people don't trust the CIA anyway, and most
(04:48):
people think that CIA has way too much power and
way too little oversight to start with.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So what are we doing here? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
An illegal alien in Virginia twenty six prior charges including
rape and assault of a police officer. That guy should
never see the light of day ever again. Throw them
in a cage, let them die there has been released
thanks to the state's sanctuary policies in Virginia. This is
(05:23):
what they got from the Democrats that they elected. Well,
of course, he's been arrested again for sexually assaulting.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
A woman in Arlington.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This woman should have never been assaulted because this guy
should have never been out on the streets again.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Court records showed me that he was arrested on May
nineteenth in Fairfax County on five charges, including a felony,
but only three days later he was back on the
street and allegedly assaulted a woman. So this is just
a really concerning, a disturbing situation that we're telling you
about this morning. Take a look here. The suspect on
your screen, twenty five year old Crystal Balvasquez Sanchez. Arlington
(06:00):
Police say he inappropriately approached a woman in a parking
garage Starewell about ten days ago.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Another person was there to step.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
In and help her, and then he ran away before
investigators found and arrested him.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Three days later. So here's a look at his record.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
I mentioned I found twenty six different charges total across
Fairfax and Arlington, from other assaults to drug possessions and
property damage just to name a few. The most recent
was three days before this alleged Arlington assault where he
was arrested for assault on an officer, which is a
felony charge, but he was freed from custody, released on recognissance.
So seven News also learned yesterday that he is undocumented
(06:35):
and ICE had issued a detainer that Fairfax County officials
did not honor.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Here's what DHS told us.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Sanctuary politicians released this criminal from jail back into Virginia
communities Basca.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Sanchez then went on to rack up charges for rape
and sexual assault.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Now you will remember that Commonwealth's Attorneys Steve Discano and
Sheriff Stacey Kincaid were both grilled on Capitol Hell a
few weeks ago for their so called sanctuary policies.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Discano's also at.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The center of AJA investigation for those very same prosecution policies.
So we have reached out to both of their offices
with many questions about this case.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Of course, will keep you posted.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
This man is currently in Arlington custody and he's waiting
for his next hearing on July seventh.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
We all know that there are bad people. They rape,
they murder, they have no impulse control. They're not a victim,
they're not to be pitied. They're not to be felt
sorry for whatever the reason they ended up this way.
They are this way, and no amount of Susan Sarendon
(07:38):
movies can make them any better. And I wish that
every Democrat who lets them back out on the streets
would have to live next door to them. I wish
their families would have to live next door to them,
because our families have somebody has to live next.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Door to him.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
And if you feared that they would harm your family,
you wouldn't put them back out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But they are harming people's families. And guess what.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I don't want them harm in my family, and I
don't want him harmon your family, and I don't want
them harming Democrat families. I don't want him harming anybody's
family because I don't want him out on the street.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You've got the Michael Berry's show.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
September tenth, that's today Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I remember,
as that day unfolded, I heard Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
That can't be true. People are so creepy and weird.
(08:47):
A friend of mine send me a message and he's
not the type two.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
If I just it, i'd be funny, awkward. He's not
the type to traffic in rumors. And he said, Hey,
I think it's the case that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Some credible news sources are reporting it, and here's a video.
And I saw the video, and I to this day,
(09:18):
I don't know if that's the accurate video or not,
but I will never forget what that looked like. It
makes sense that at the time there was real time
video taken because Charlie Kirk was filmed when he was talking.
There were a lot of young people and young people
(09:39):
film everything, so of course there was real time footage.
And if in fact this was real, and I think
it was, it was pretty shortly thereafter. It could have
been graphically enhanced or complete a I don't know. I
don't know that it's important, but it's pretty brutal. In
any case, I don't know that it matters one way
or another. Because he died, there's no doubting that there's
(10:01):
no Charlie Kirk is alive somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Movement.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
It played out in front of everybody, and it was
so upsetting. A lot of people who didn't know who
Charlie Kirk were were suddenly introduced to Charlie Kirk, and they,
in short order were introduced to how influential Charlie was.
(10:27):
I've said many times before and since Charlie was incredibly
influential in the Trump White House, he had a pipeline
into the Trump like a backdoor access to Trump. Trump
respected him, admired him, and listened to him. And a
big reason two reasons for that. Number one is Charlie
(10:51):
Kirk had the biggest youth audience in the country for conservatives,
not even close. There's nobody talking as many young people
as he was. And secondly, he had a razor sharp mind.
He was committed to self improvement through prayer, faith, reading, engaging.
(11:16):
He was really trying to live a good life in
on a certain path. And that's what made it perhaps
most frustrating, the whole darn thing. And I remember thinking
at the time, well, at least something good will come
of it. Patriots will stand up for their country now,
(11:39):
the left will be ashamed of violence. Now an unhinged
and in tone man has been arrested for threatening to
murder Erica Kirk. Charlie Kirk's widow ahead of her Turning
Point USA appearance in the city of San Antone. This
is Fox News with.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
The story this threat not only targeted Erica Kirk, but
Turning Point.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
USA events across the board.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
News stations in Texas report Jacob Wensky of San Antonio
was arrested earlier today and now faces two felony counts
for making terrorist threats against Erica Kirk and tpusa's upcoming
women's leadership event in that city. According to local reports,
San Antonio police were alerted to Weinsky after he allegedly
commented on social media quote, I know exactly where.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
To bomb investigators.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
According to reporting say he also wrote in an email,
quote death to Erica Kirk and every single speaker there.
America will live on without those scum of this earth.
Every Christian Nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will
take place at every single Turning Point rally and event.
TPUSA responded to the arrest on x saying the organization
(12:50):
takes all threats seriously and is working with law enforcement,
adding quote, we are grateful to the San Antonio Police
Department and the FBI for the rapid response and arrest
of the individual making these threats. We refuse to let
threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and
inspiring gathering. Erica Kirk, her family, and the organization she
now runs have been under near constant hostility by critics
(13:13):
ever since Charlie was assassinated in September. Charlie Kirk's accused killer,
Tyler Robinson, is scheduled for his preliminary hearing in early July.
Erica Kirk has been pushing for maximum transparency with the
public in that case. As for the San Antonio suspect,
his next court appearance is set for August.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, and here we are.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So the question is, why doesn't everybody make such a
threat that made him feel powerful and important. He's scared people,
that's what he wanted. Why doesn't everybody do that? Will
there be a punishment of him, because that's going to
(13:58):
make all the difference in the world. How will this
case play out?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What will be done to him? Will he live to
regret this? Will that be covered? You know that? That's
that's it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
We get these, and it's not it's not always law enforcements, faults,
always the officer's fault.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We get these.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You know, if you watch as I do, you know,
dangerous criminals or stupid criminals, you'll get this. And that
was the point he that's the point where he learned
a really tough lesson and then you know, the bad
guy does something and then he gets arrested. No he didn't,
because he never paid for it. He got arrested and arraigned,
(14:39):
and he appeared and he walked out, and they gave
him probation because it was his first because his first
time he's brought before a court and actually given any
sense of a sentence. And the reason is because a
few times before he was arrested they let him go
before they punished him. And so what happens is there
is just this free flow of bad people that the
(15:01):
rest of us have to hope that our bumper car
doesn't end up on the same block as theirs. We
just have to hope they don't come in contact with us,
because they're out there. They've harmed a lot of other people.
They've been caught after harming a lot of other people
and nothing was ever done, and so they're just gonna
keep harming other people.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
There are rabid dog.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Human beings and we the left does not want to
acknowledge that sympathy for the criminal is cruelty to the innocent.
Adam Smith said that around seventeen seventy six, sympathy for
the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. But that's what happens,
(15:42):
isn't it. You see a bad guy. Look at this
guy who murdered the CEO of a company. Whatever you
might think of you not at health. We're just people
are going to just gun someone down and then they're
gonna have fan clubs. Think about what kind of whacked out,
whacked out group of people that guy should have hanged
already from a tree where people could watch. He murdered
(16:07):
a man in cold blood? And now what are we
doing legal wranglings for how long? This is an awful
We've lost the plot. Somewhere along the way.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I have never met someone so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I call him rich.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The Michael Barrier, a Homeland Security Task force finds a
sophisticated their term not mine tunnel running from Tijuana into
a retail store in San Diego, that is, from Mexico
(16:51):
into the United States. Officials say the tunnel had reinforced walls, rails,
ventilation system, electricity.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
It was being.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Used by the cartels to smuggle drugs. NBC seven with
the story.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
This business behind Me Buy for Less that federal prosecutors
say was actually not a.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Business at all.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
They say that it actually houses the exit of that
elaborate tunnel that they say the cartel was using to
traffic quite literally a ton of cocaine.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Cocaine is now the lifeblood of the cartels, and what
you see here today is a cardiac or rest for
their system. For those defendants they thought they saw light
at the end of the tunnel. In fact, what they
saw were our lights in Siriens.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
Federal officials provided this video of agents going through that
tunnel they discovered between Tijuana and a storefront in O
time Mesa. They say the tunnel is about nineteen hundred
feet long and fifty five feet deep, with electricity, ventilation,
and a rail to move back and forth under the border.
Homeland Security says they've been watching this location since December
(18:05):
twenty twenty five, and for six months they saw really
only a handful of people taking empty suitcases in and
out of the store until Friday, the FED say then
they saw a man loading up a white van and
taking it to National City for what appeared to be
a handoff. Then a second truck was loaded up at
Buy for Less, and prosecutors say traffic stops of those
(18:26):
vehicles found more than twenty two hundred pounds of cocaine
worth forty five million dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
The Fed say this was a cartel operation.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
And four people, two men from San Diego and two
from Mexico, are now facing multiple federal charges, including distribution
of a controlled substance. The investigation is still ongoing and
the storefront remains blocked off.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
We would not consider a legitimate business if fronted as
a retail store selling liquidated items, appliances, luggage, miscellaneous household goods.
During the six months that agents regularly had it on surveillance,
there was very minimal foot traffic. Besides the people I
would call in sort of scare quotes, employees of the story.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
What kind of quotes do the use air quotes or
did he say scare quotes? I'm serious, I thought it.
I think we're all fascinated by tunnels. There's no way
around that. We are all fascinated by tunnels, like when
El Chapo would bust out of prison through a tunnel.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's fascinating. I mean, that's just absolutely fascinating. Remember welcome
back to El Chapo.
Speaker 13 (19:38):
In our last episode, Al Chopo was captured by the federal.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And placed in a Mexican prison.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
All righty, everybody listen up.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Alquizo wants to.
Speaker 14 (19:50):
Say something here in the exercise yard inside the federal prison.
Was we have put together some of the most notorious
criminals to ever be arrested by the Mexican and government.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
Yeah, holmes, and we're going to work together to help.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But the Chopo out of.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Prison, I'll personally stab anyone who gets anyway, Do you
understand me, Alguizo.
Speaker 14 (20:07):
Settle down, stabby Pedro. If this plan goes smoothly, if
we won't have to stab anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So what's the plan, Homes, what do we do?
Speaker 14 (20:14):
We're going to have our guy on the outside digae
tunnel right into El Chapel's personal shower.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Then we won't have to kill anyone, just.
Speaker 14 (20:21):
Walk right out to a nearby motorcycle that will be
waiting to escort himTo freedom.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's a good plan. I think you could work, But
only if it's okay with El Chapel. Yes, what do
you think, El Chapel?
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Is this a good plan?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes? I must need this prison and return to my
love for I M. L. Chapel.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
Will El Chapol escape prison?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Will he be reunited with his love Emma?
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Will stabby Pedro ever stab again?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Find out next.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Time only Onel Chapol.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
CBS News reports a secret federal warehouse in California holes
assets seized from California fraudsters Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and other luxury cars.
Some of the items sezed were from a man who
ran a two hundred and seventy million dollars Medicare fraud scheme. Gosh,
it's almost as if they're making it too easy to
(21:31):
run Medicare fraud screams schemes, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I wish I could show you what's behind here, but
I can describe. I've seen over a dozen Ferraris, Lamborghinis,
a Bugatti Lotus, several g wagons. These are just some
of the assets the government has seized from fraudsters who
have taken your tax payer dollars and bust Some of
these hill gotten gains. LA's top federal prosecutor built as
(21:58):
Sali showed us around this US Marshall's warehouse.
Speaker 15 (22:01):
It should offend every American taxpayer that these people are
taking advantage of the system and enriching themselves.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
These items had been owned by Paul Randall, who pleaded
guilty to wire fraud this year in one of the
largest medical fraud cases in California history.
Speaker 15 (22:14):
He submitted above two hundred and seventy million dollars worth
of claims to the State of California through medical he
was paid one hundred and seventy million dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
One hundred and seventy million dollars of hard earned tax dollars.
Speaker 15 (22:29):
That's correct, And what's most egregious about this is it
was basically no questions asked. He basically exploited a loophole
in the.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
State's processing system.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
That loophole, court records show meant healthcare providers got reimbursed
for prescription drugs that were not medically necessary and often
not even given to patients.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But where did all the stolen money go?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Authority state paid for Kobe Bryant, gaymorn sneakers, baseball cards
of Jackie Robinson and Mickey Mantle.
Speaker 15 (22:55):
Very expensive taste, very rare, near mint condition collectical sports
cards purchased with taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
A sale also showed us Randall's home, one of seven
properties he owned.
Speaker 15 (23:07):
Let me tell you what a piece of work this
Randall guy was. He's got six prior convictions for fraudulent conduct,
and he was out on bond waiting sentencing when he
started this new scheme.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He was effectively unbonded when he decided to fraud one
hundred and seventy million more dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yes, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Who's responsible for the breakdown of the system.
Speaker 15 (23:29):
Obviously there's a breakdown in the criminal justice system if
this guy was able to have six convictions and never
did any.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Real prison time. We turned up a private driveway.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
He was living like a king off off of us,
climbing into an exclusive corner of Orange County.
Speaker 15 (23:45):
It's eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Randall faces up to thirty years in federal prison. He
didn't want to talk to us for the story. The
federal government will try to recover some money by auctioning
his assets, but assale warrants in other cases they can't
get back the money.
Speaker 15 (24:00):
We see a lot of that money leave the country quickly,
and once money leaves the country, it's much more difficult,
if not impossible, for us to trace it or recover it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Investigating government fraud is a priority for Haywood Talkov. He's
been warning officials about scams.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
For two decades.
Speaker 16 (24:15):
US tax payers lose a trillion dollars a year to
these criminal groups.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Where's it going.
Speaker 16 (24:21):
It goes to Russia, it goes to China, it goes
to Nigeria, it goes to Romania, and it's never to
be seen again.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
By his estimate of that trillion dollars, roughly seventy percent
ends up in the hands of transnational criminal gangs.
Speaker 16 (24:36):
Taxpayers are funding transnational criminals who are using this money
for horrible things, child trafficking, drugs, threats to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Cars, cards, compounds. This is what fraud looks like after
it's already happened. A Saili and Tabcove agree.
Speaker 15 (24:56):
That is why it is so important that the money
never goes out.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
I'm not sure what your question was, Michael Berrish.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I lost the plot somewhere you did. Interesting thing has happened.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
CNN has made a conscientious, conscious, concerted effort to try
to appear appear more balanced, more honest. CNN got caught
in a squeeze. Their play was Fox has the conservatives,
(25:34):
we'll go after the liberals. The problem is there's a
bigger audience working from the far extreme toward the middle
than from the middle toward the extreme, and ms now
ended up carving out too much of the extreme as
(25:55):
well as a number of the The size of the
audience for the extreme left was not big enough because
they're already served by Colbert Kimmel. What's the other fallon?
And they already have everything else. So CNAIM got into
(26:16):
real trouble with that, and there was no They became
a man with no home. So now they've tried to
carve out a place in the middle by showing that
they're being more honest. So they have this fellow, Harry Inton,
and he does polling, and he comes back more often
than nu'd expect with rather my opinion, honest polling results
(26:38):
in what they mean. This is a three minute clip,
which is longer than we normally like to play, but
I couldn't find a spot to shorten it. It seemed
to be a complete story that needed to be told.
So he's talking about the fact that the Democrats face
an electoral college disaster because people have fled blue states
(26:59):
for the ref uge of red states. And we've been
talking a lot about this, and that means they're going
to lose congressional seats, right, They're going to lose electoral
college votes because it's all based on population. But anyway,
here is the point. And guess what. Los Angeles, California,
San Francisco, California generally has lost people who've come to Texas,
(27:20):
who come to Tennessee, who come to Florida, come to Arizona,
and they're going to feel that that's going to make
a real difference to their population numbers.
Speaker 17 (27:29):
Here's what he said, taking into account the population mid
twenty twenty five. Look at this, the biggest population growth
this decade. All five of the states states that Donald Trump,
Donald John Trump won Donald John Trump won in twenty
twenty four Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course
the great state of Arizona, where I spent my New
Year's Eve. I love those folks out in Prescott, Arizona.
(27:51):
These were the biggest gainers, the biggest gainers in terms
of population compared to the twenty twenty census. Now, it's
not just a red state boom. This is what we're
looking at. We're looking at a red state boom here.
But it is not just a red state boom. We're
also looking at what I would dare call a blue
state depression because who are the people who and where
are the people moving from into the red states? Well,
(28:12):
they're blue states. They're blue states. Take a look here
the lowest domestic net migration this decade. All five of
the states states that were won by Kamala Harrison twenty
twenty four. Look at this California, Harris's home state, New York,
where I'm coming from, coming from right now, of course, Illinois,
New Jersey, and of course the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
which is a bastion of blue liberalism. These are the
(28:34):
states that folks in the United States are moving away
from and into the red states, which is propelling a
red state boom. Now this is interesting, right, but it
could also have major political ramifications if it holds holds
for twenty thirty, the next census.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Because take a look here. If in fact, the twenty twenty.
Speaker 17 (28:50):
Five populationships hold for the twenty thirty census, look at this.
Look at the House. The House seat shifts by state.
Of Remember, of course, we apportioned the number of House
seats depending on the population.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
In each state.
Speaker 17 (29:01):
If in fact the twenty twenty five population shifts holds
for twenty thirty states that Kamala Harris won, they would lose.
They would lose seven seats in the United States House
of Representatives. The states that Donald Trump won in twenty
twenty four they would gain. They would gain seven seats.
Now this isn't just about the House of Representatives, right,
It's also about the electoral College, because the number of
(29:22):
electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the
number of centers. Each state of course has two plus
the number of House seats that they have. So what
would this mean for the House of Representatives. Well, if
you remember back in twenty twenty four, right, it was
all about we were talking about the blue Wall.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
If Kamala Harris could.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
Win the baseline Democratic states and then add in the
blue Wall states of Michigan, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin,
she would get to two hundred and seventy electoral votes.
But if all of a sudden, we in fact have
applying the twenty twenty five estimates. The population estimates to
the electoral College, the Blue states plus the Blue Wall
(29:57):
of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would no longer be enough.
Under the current estimates, you get to exactly two hundred
and seventy electro votes, the minimum needed to win the
electoral College. If in fact, you apply the twenty twenty
five estimates, look at that, you would only get to
two hundred and sixty three electro votes if you were
a Democrat, which would mean a Republican victory.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Democrats have seen this coming for a while. That's why
they now criticize the electoral College. See what they do
is change the rules to suit themselves. They don't really
care about our government being representative. Look, they would change
the rules of baseball to the rules of football if
(30:40):
their players were all three hundred pounds right. They would
change the rules of football to the rules of basketball
if their players were all seven feet tall. They want
to change the rules to suit what they're trying to accomplish.
I read this recently. I'm going to read it again
because I think it is very very telling. It is
(31:01):
known in the political world as voting with your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
If you want to.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Know if the policies of a place are being successful,
how they're being reviewed. Look at what people who can
move do. Often the really poor or the working poor
cannot move, and that is because if you own a
home in a rough neighborhood, it's hard to sell it.
(31:30):
And so we've seen that in places like New York,
well in places all the blue cities. And that's who
really loses out of this. The fabulously wealthy. They can
up and move in a second, and they'll even hold
on to their place in New York or in LA
and just move somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Zuckerberg moved to Florida.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
We've seen this with billionaire after billionaire relocating. And by
the way, they're almost all liberals. They're almost all liberal policies.
But when it comes down to it, what do they do?
Where do they live? Texas Florida. Texas and Florida are
big ones, the two biggest probably now, but anyway, so
(32:15):
you look at the states who have the cities which
have gained the most headquarters from.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Twenty twenty to twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Dallas is almost one hundred, Austin is over fifty, Houston, Phoenix,
and Nashville in that order, are all twenty five and more?
And where did they come from? San Francisco has lost
over one hundred. LA's lost almost one hundred. New York
has lost about thirty. Chicago and they'd lost a bunch already.
(32:50):
Chicago and San Diego have lost upwards of let's see that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's on a grass, so it's about ten each.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
That's called voting with your feet for a company to
move their headquarters. This isn't a guy that graduated college,
and you know, maybe I'll or graduated high school, you know,
Jack Carrowac, maybe I'll go out on the road and
figure out where I'm going to live. Or somebody moving
to LA or Hollywood to take a waitressing job to
see if they can get into movies. Moving a corporation
(33:19):
is a big deal for people.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
To do that, your policies have to be bad.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Our nation is back, bigger, better, richer, and stronger than
ever before. Less than five months from now, our country
will celebrate an epic milestone in American history, the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our glorious American Independence. This
July fourth, we will mark two and a half centuries
(00:37):
of liberty and triumph progress.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
It is a story from NBC News that I didn't
get to an interview scented, and I wanted to bring
it up. It's a former CIA official who was arrested
for stealing over forty million dollars in gold bars from
the CIA. And it didn't stop there. The story from
NBC News. Now I'll get to some breaking news.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
A former CIA senior officer is accused get this, of
secretly stashing three hundred gold bars in his house that
he was kind of brushed off as a quote, work
related expense. That according to court documents and two people
familiar with the employment histories. NBC's Julie Ainsley breaking this
exclusive for us.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
We have breaking news here from our national security team
that a man who is a high level employee at
the CIA with top secret clearance has been arrested and
is facing charges in federal court here in the Eastern
District of Virginia because the FBI said that they went
into this man's home after getting complaints from his coworkers
about what might be happening with some of the money
(01:39):
he was using that he was requesting as reimbursement for
work related expenses. It turns out in his home they
found forty million dollars worth of gold bars. If you're
wondering how many bars that is, that's about three hundred
and eight. They said they also found two million dollars
in US currency, and they found thirty five luxury watches,
most of which were Rolex. This is according to court
(02:02):
documents that did not at first name the government agency.
But my colleagues here, Dan Dluz, Gary Grumback and I
have spoken to sources who said that this man was
an employee of the CIA, and the CIA and the
FBI saying in a statement in response to our questions
that this man is someone who was an employee of
the CIA, and that this was referred from CIA Director Ratcliffe,
(02:24):
and that they have been cooperating with the FBI in
this investigation. It sounds bizarre and we will continue to
stay on top of it. Another piece I want to
tell you about Tom is that not only is he
accused of taking government property, meaning all of that money,
but also falsifying his history, his education history, and military history.
(02:48):
He said he graduated from a university he did not
graduate from. They had no record of him attending same thing,
went for a graduate program as well as getting his
pilot's license to fly for the Navy. The FAA said
they had no record that he had a license to
fly a plane. So a lot more we're learning about
this man. His name is David Rush, he is a
resident of Virginia, and we will bring you more as
(03:10):
we learn it. And what is behind this bizarre scheme
that would lead for forty million dollars in gold bars
to be in this man's home.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So the initial reaction is what is the CIA doing
with all that money? There has to be some credit
given to the CIA for prosecuting the up because a
lot of agencies, government entities, companies, churches, when something bad
(03:41):
like this happens, they'll sweep it under the road because
it looks bad on them. But you want to encourage
them to come forward, So credit for that. That's a
big deal. That could have very easily been hidden away,
and I'm sure it has been in the past. Now,
what was this guy doing? How did he have access
(04:02):
to forty million dollars worth of gold bars? How many
gold bars are laying around in the CIA? What is
the access process? Is there an evidence room? How how
would you think you're going to get away with it?
Is it that easy to get away with that you
would think you could get away with? Or are there
(04:24):
that many people who have access to forty million dollars
in gold bars? Let's leave aside the fact that he's
clearly a sleeves ball. What are we doing with gold
bars lying around? These are some really serious questions, especially
when most people don't trust the CIA anyway, and most
(04:48):
people think that CIA has way too much power and
way too little oversight to start with.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So what are we doing here? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
An illegal alien in Virginia twenty six prior charges including
rape and assault of a police officer. That guy should
never see the light of day ever again. Throw them
in a cage, let them die there has been released
thanks to the state's sanctuary policies in Virginia. This is
(05:23):
what they got from the Democrats that they elected. Well,
of course, he's been arrested again for sexually assaulting.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
A woman in Arlington.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
This woman should have never been assaulted because this guy
should have never been out on the streets again.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Court records showed me that he was arrested on May
nineteenth in Fairfax County on five charges, including a felony,
but only three days later he was back on the
street and allegedly assaulted a woman. So this is just
a really concerning, a disturbing situation that we're telling you
about this morning. Take a look here. The suspect on
your screen, twenty five year old Crystal Balvasquez Sanchez. Arlington
(06:00):
Police say he inappropriately approached a woman in a parking
garage Starewell about ten days ago.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Another person was there to step.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
In and help her, and then he ran away before
investigators found and arrested him.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Three days later. So here's a look at his record.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
I mentioned I found twenty six different charges total across
Fairfax and Arlington, from other assaults to drug possessions and
property damage just to name a few. The most recent
was three days before this alleged Arlington assault where he
was arrested for assault on an officer, which is a
felony charge, but he was freed from custody, released on recognissance.
So seven News also learned yesterday that he is undocumented
(06:35):
and ICE had issued a detainer that Fairfax County officials
did not honor.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Here's what DHS told us.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Sanctuary politicians released this criminal from jail back into Virginia
communities Basca.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Sanchez then went on to rack up charges for rape
and sexual assault.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Now you will remember that Commonwealth's Attorneys Steve Discano and
Sheriff Stacey Kincaid were both grilled on Capitol Hell a
few weeks ago for their so called sanctuary policies.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Discano's also at.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The center of AJA investigation for those very same prosecution policies.
So we have reached out to both of their offices
with many questions about this case.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Of course, will keep you posted.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
This man is currently in Arlington custody and he's waiting
for his next hearing on July seventh.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
We all know that there are bad people. They rape,
they murder, they have no impulse control. They're not a victim,
they're not to be pitied. They're not to be felt
sorry for whatever the reason they ended up this way.
They are this way, and no amount of Susan Sarendon
(07:38):
movies can make them any better. And I wish that
every Democrat who lets them back out on the streets
would have to live next door to them. I wish
their families would have to live next door to them,
because our families have somebody has to live next.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Door to him.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
And if you feared that they would harm your family,
you wouldn't put them back out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But they are harming people's families. And guess what.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I don't want them harm in my family, and I
don't want him harmon your family, and I don't want
them harming Democrat families. I don't want him harming anybody's
family because I don't want him out on the street.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You've got the Michael Berry's show.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
September tenth, that's today Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I remember,
as that day unfolded, I heard Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
That can't be true. People are so creepy and weird.
(08:47):
A friend of mine send me a message and he's
not the type two.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
If I just it, i'd be funny, awkward. He's not
the type to traffic in rumors. And he said, Hey,
I think it's the case that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Some credible news sources are reporting it, and here's a video.
And I saw the video, and I to this day,
(09:18):
I don't know if that's the accurate video or not,
but I will never forget what that looked like. It
makes sense that at the time there was real time
video taken because Charlie Kirk was filmed when he was talking.
There were a lot of young people and young people
(09:39):
film everything, so of course there was real time footage.
And if in fact this was real, and I think
it was, it was pretty shortly thereafter. It could have
been graphically enhanced or complete a I don't know. I
don't know that it's important, but it's pretty brutal. In
any case, I don't know that it matters one way
or another. Because he died, there's no doubting that there's
(10:01):
no Charlie Kirk is alive somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Movement.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
It played out in front of everybody, and it was
so upsetting. A lot of people who didn't know who
Charlie Kirk were were suddenly introduced to Charlie Kirk, and they,
in short order were introduced to how influential Charlie was.
(10:27):
I've said many times before and since Charlie was incredibly
influential in the Trump White House, he had a pipeline
into the Trump like a backdoor access to Trump. Trump
respected him, admired him, and listened to him. And a
big reason two reasons for that. Number one is Charlie
(10:51):
Kirk had the biggest youth audience in the country for conservatives,
not even close. There's nobody talking as many young people
as he was. And secondly, he had a razor sharp mind.
He was committed to self improvement through prayer, faith, reading, engaging.
(11:16):
He was really trying to live a good life in
on a certain path. And that's what made it perhaps
most frustrating, the whole darn thing. And I remember thinking
at the time, well, at least something good will come
of it. Patriots will stand up for their country now,
(11:39):
the left will be ashamed of violence. Now an unhinged
and in tone man has been arrested for threatening to
murder Erica Kirk. Charlie Kirk's widow ahead of her Turning
Point USA appearance in the city of San Antone. This
is Fox News with.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
The story this threat not only targeted Erica Kirk, but
Turning Point.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
USA events across the board.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
News stations in Texas report Jacob Wensky of San Antonio
was arrested earlier today and now faces two felony counts
for making terrorist threats against Erica Kirk and tpusa's upcoming
women's leadership event in that city. According to local reports,
San Antonio police were alerted to Weinsky after he allegedly
commented on social media quote, I know exactly where.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
To bomb investigators.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
According to reporting say he also wrote in an email,
quote death to Erica Kirk and every single speaker there.
America will live on without those scum of this earth.
Every Christian Nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will
take place at every single Turning Point rally and event.
TPUSA responded to the arrest on x saying the organization
(12:50):
takes all threats seriously and is working with law enforcement,
adding quote, we are grateful to the San Antonio Police
Department and the FBI for the rapid response and arrest
of the individual making these threats. We refuse to let
threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and
inspiring gathering. Erica Kirk, her family, and the organization she
now runs have been under near constant hostility by critics
(13:13):
ever since Charlie was assassinated in September. Charlie Kirk's accused killer,
Tyler Robinson, is scheduled for his preliminary hearing in early July.
Erica Kirk has been pushing for maximum transparency with the
public in that case. As for the San Antonio suspect,
his next court appearance is set for August.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, and here we are.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So the question is, why doesn't everybody make such a
threat that made him feel powerful and important. He's scared people,
that's what he wanted. Why doesn't everybody do that? Will
there be a punishment of him, because that's going to
(13:58):
make all the difference in the world. How will this
case play out?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
What will be done to him? Will he live to
regret this? Will that be covered? You know that? That's
that's it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
We get these, and it's not it's not always law enforcements, faults,
always the officer's fault.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We get these.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You know, if you watch as I do, you know,
dangerous criminals or stupid criminals, you'll get this. And that
was the point he that's the point where he learned
a really tough lesson and then you know, the bad
guy does something and then he gets arrested. No he didn't,
because he never paid for it. He got arrested and arraigned,
(14:39):
and he appeared and he walked out, and they gave
him probation because it was his first because his first
time he's brought before a court and actually given any
sense of a sentence. And the reason is because a
few times before he was arrested they let him go
before they punished him. And so what happens is there
is just this free flow of bad people that the
(15:01):
rest of us have to hope that our bumper car
doesn't end up on the same block as theirs. We
just have to hope they don't come in contact with us,
because they're out there. They've harmed a lot of other people.
They've been caught after harming a lot of other people
and nothing was ever done, and so they're just gonna
keep harming other people.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
There are rabid dog.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Human beings and we the left does not want to
acknowledge that sympathy for the criminal is cruelty to the innocent.
Adam Smith said that around seventeen seventy six, sympathy for
the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. But that's what happens,
(15:42):
isn't it. You see a bad guy. Look at this
guy who murdered the CEO of a company. Whatever you
might think of you not at health. We're just people
are going to just gun someone down and then they're
gonna have fan clubs. Think about what kind of whacked out,
whacked out group of people that guy should have hanged
already from a tree where people could watch. He murdered
(16:07):
a man in cold blood? And now what are we
doing legal wranglings for how long? This is an awful
We've lost the plot. Somewhere along the way.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I have never met someone so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I call him rich.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The Michael Barrier, a Homeland Security Task force finds a
sophisticated their term not mine tunnel running from Tijuana into
a retail store in San Diego, that is, from Mexico
(16:51):
into the United States. Officials say the tunnel had reinforced walls, rails,
ventilation system, electricity.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
It was being.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Used by the cartels to smuggle drugs. NBC seven with
the story.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
This business behind Me Buy for Less that federal prosecutors
say was actually not a.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Business at all.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
They say that it actually houses the exit of that
elaborate tunnel that they say the cartel was using to
traffic quite literally a ton of cocaine.
Speaker 11 (17:26):
Cocaine is now the lifeblood of the cartels, and what
you see here today is a cardiac or rest for
their system. For those defendants they thought they saw light
at the end of the tunnel. In fact, what they
saw were our lights in Siriens.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
Federal officials provided this video of agents going through that
tunnel they discovered between Tijuana and a storefront in O
time Mesa. They say the tunnel is about nineteen hundred
feet long and fifty five feet deep, with electricity, ventilation,
and a rail to move back and forth under the border.
Homeland Security says they've been watching this location since December
(18:05):
twenty twenty five, and for six months they saw really
only a handful of people taking empty suitcases in and
out of the store until Friday, the FED say then
they saw a man loading up a white van and
taking it to National City for what appeared to be
a handoff. Then a second truck was loaded up at
Buy for Less, and prosecutors say traffic stops of those
(18:26):
vehicles found more than twenty two hundred pounds of cocaine
worth forty five million dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
The Fed say this was a cartel operation.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
And four people, two men from San Diego and two
from Mexico, are now facing multiple federal charges, including distribution
of a controlled substance. The investigation is still ongoing and
the storefront remains blocked off.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
We would not consider a legitimate business if fronted as
a retail store selling liquidated items, appliances, luggage, miscellaneous household goods.
During the six months that agents regularly had it on surveillance,
there was very minimal foot traffic. Besides the people I
would call in sort of scare quotes, employees of the story.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
What kind of quotes do the use air quotes or
did he say scare quotes? I'm serious, I thought it.
I think we're all fascinated by tunnels. There's no way
around that. We are all fascinated by tunnels, like when
El Chapo would bust out of prison through a tunnel.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's fascinating. I mean, that's just absolutely fascinating. Remember welcome
back to El Chapo.
Speaker 13 (19:38):
In our last episode, Al Chopo was captured by the federal.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And placed in a Mexican prison.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
All righty, everybody listen up.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Alquizo wants to.
Speaker 14 (19:50):
Say something here in the exercise yard inside the federal prison.
Was we have put together some of the most notorious
criminals to ever be arrested by the Mexican and government.
Speaker 13 (20:00):
Yeah, holmes, and we're going to work together to help.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But the Chopo out of.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Prison, I'll personally stab anyone who gets anyway, Do you
understand me, Alguizo.
Speaker 14 (20:07):
Settle down, stabby Pedro. If this plan goes smoothly, if
we won't have to stab anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So what's the plan, Homes, what do we do?
Speaker 14 (20:14):
We're going to have our guy on the outside digae
tunnel right into El Chapel's personal shower.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Then we won't have to kill anyone, just.
Speaker 14 (20:21):
Walk right out to a nearby motorcycle that will be
waiting to escort himTo freedom.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's a good plan. I think you could work, But
only if it's okay with El Chapel. Yes, what do
you think, El Chapel?
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Is this a good plan?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes? I must need this prison and return to my
love for I M. L. Chapel.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
Will El Chapol escape prison?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Will he be reunited with his love Emma?
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Will stabby Pedro ever stab again?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Find out next.
Speaker 13 (20:48):
Time only Onel Chapol.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
CBS News reports a secret federal warehouse in California holes
assets seized from California fraudsters Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and other luxury cars.
Some of the items sezed were from a man who
ran a two hundred and seventy million dollars Medicare fraud scheme. Gosh,
it's almost as if they're making it too easy to
(21:31):
run Medicare fraud screams schemes, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I wish I could show you what's behind here, but
I can describe. I've seen over a dozen Ferraris, Lamborghinis,
a Bugatti Lotus, several g wagons. These are just some
of the assets the government has seized from fraudsters who
have taken your tax payer dollars and bust Some of
these hill gotten gains. LA's top federal prosecutor built as
(21:58):
Sali showed us around this US Marshall's warehouse.
Speaker 15 (22:01):
It should offend every American taxpayer that these people are
taking advantage of the system and enriching themselves.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
These items had been owned by Paul Randall, who pleaded
guilty to wire fraud this year in one of the
largest medical fraud cases in California history.
Speaker 15 (22:14):
He submitted above two hundred and seventy million dollars worth
of claims to the State of California through medical he
was paid one hundred and seventy million dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
One hundred and seventy million dollars of hard earned tax dollars.
Speaker 15 (22:29):
That's correct, And what's most egregious about this is it
was basically no questions asked. He basically exploited a loophole
in the.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
State's processing system.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
That loophole, court records show meant healthcare providers got reimbursed
for prescription drugs that were not medically necessary and often
not even given to patients.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But where did all the stolen money go?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Authority state paid for Kobe Bryant, gaymorn sneakers, baseball cards
of Jackie Robinson and Mickey Mantle.
Speaker 15 (22:55):
Very expensive taste, very rare, near mint condition collectical sports
cards purchased with taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
A sale also showed us Randall's home, one of seven
properties he owned.
Speaker 15 (23:07):
Let me tell you what a piece of work this
Randall guy was. He's got six prior convictions for fraudulent conduct,
and he was out on bond waiting sentencing when he
started this new scheme.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He was effectively unbonded when he decided to fraud one
hundred and seventy million more dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yes, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Who's responsible for the breakdown of the system.
Speaker 15 (23:29):
Obviously there's a breakdown in the criminal justice system if
this guy was able to have six convictions and never
did any.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Real prison time. We turned up a private driveway.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
He was living like a king off off of us,
climbing into an exclusive corner of Orange County.
Speaker 15 (23:45):
It's eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Randall faces up to thirty years in federal prison. He
didn't want to talk to us for the story. The
federal government will try to recover some money by auctioning
his assets, but assale warrants in other cases they can't
get back the money.
Speaker 15 (24:00):
We see a lot of that money leave the country quickly,
and once money leaves the country, it's much more difficult,
if not impossible, for us to trace it or recover it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Investigating government fraud is a priority for Haywood Talkov. He's
been warning officials about scams.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
For two decades.
Speaker 16 (24:15):
US tax payers lose a trillion dollars a year to
these criminal groups.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Where's it going.
Speaker 16 (24:21):
It goes to Russia, it goes to China, it goes
to Nigeria, it goes to Romania, and it's never to
be seen again.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
By his estimate of that trillion dollars, roughly seventy percent
ends up in the hands of transnational criminal gangs.
Speaker 16 (24:36):
Taxpayers are funding transnational criminals who are using this money
for horrible things, child trafficking, drugs, threats to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Cars, cards, compounds. This is what fraud looks like after
it's already happened. A Saili and Tabcove agree.
Speaker 15 (24:56):
That is why it is so important that the money
never goes out.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
I'm not sure what your question was, Michael Berrish.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I lost the plot somewhere you did. Interesting thing has happened.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
CNN has made a conscientious, conscious, concerted effort to try
to appear appear more balanced, more honest. CNN got caught
in a squeeze. Their play was Fox has the conservatives,
(25:34):
we'll go after the liberals. The problem is there's a
bigger audience working from the far extreme toward the middle
than from the middle toward the extreme, and ms now
ended up carving out too much of the extreme as
(25:55):
well as a number of the The size of the
audience for the extreme left was not big enough because
they're already served by Colbert Kimmel. What's the other fallon?
And they already have everything else. So CNAIM got into
(26:16):
real trouble with that, and there was no They became
a man with no home. So now they've tried to
carve out a place in the middle by showing that
they're being more honest. So they have this fellow, Harry Inton,
and he does polling, and he comes back more often
than nu'd expect with rather my opinion, honest polling results
(26:38):
in what they mean. This is a three minute clip,
which is longer than we normally like to play, but
I couldn't find a spot to shorten it. It seemed
to be a complete story that needed to be told.
So he's talking about the fact that the Democrats face
an electoral college disaster because people have fled blue states
(26:59):
for the ref uge of red states. And we've been
talking a lot about this, and that means they're going
to lose congressional seats, right, They're going to lose electoral
college votes because it's all based on population. But anyway,
here is the point. And guess what. Los Angeles, California,
San Francisco, California generally has lost people who've come to Texas,
(27:20):
who come to Tennessee, who come to Florida, come to Arizona,
and they're going to feel that that's going to make
a real difference to their population numbers.
Speaker 17 (27:29):
Here's what he said, taking into account the population mid
twenty twenty five. Look at this, the biggest population growth
this decade. All five of the states states that Donald Trump,
Donald John Trump won Donald John Trump won in twenty
twenty four Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course
the great state of Arizona, where I spent my New
Year's Eve. I love those folks out in Prescott, Arizona.
(27:51):
These were the biggest gainers, the biggest gainers in terms
of population compared to the twenty twenty census. Now, it's
not just a red state boom. This is what we're
looking at. We're looking at a red state boom here.
But it is not just a red state boom. We're
also looking at what I would dare call a blue
state depression because who are the people who and where
are the people moving from into the red states? Well,
(28:12):
they're blue states. They're blue states. Take a look here
the lowest domestic net migration this decade. All five of
the states states that were won by Kamala Harrison twenty
twenty four. Look at this California, Harris's home state, New York,
where I'm coming from, coming from right now, of course, Illinois,
New Jersey, and of course the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
which is a bastion of blue liberalism. These are the
(28:34):
states that folks in the United States are moving away
from and into the red states, which is propelling a
red state boom. Now this is interesting, right, but it
could also have major political ramifications if it holds holds
for twenty thirty, the next census.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Because take a look here. If in fact, the twenty twenty.
Speaker 17 (28:50):
Five populationships hold for the twenty thirty census, look at this.
Look at the House. The House seat shifts by state.
Of Remember, of course, we apportioned the number of House
seats depending on the population.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
In each state.
Speaker 17 (29:01):
If in fact the twenty twenty five population shifts holds
for twenty thirty states that Kamala Harris won, they would lose.
They would lose seven seats in the United States House
of Representatives. The states that Donald Trump won in twenty
twenty four they would gain. They would gain seven seats.
Now this isn't just about the House of Representatives, right,
It's also about the electoral College, because the number of
(29:22):
electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the
number of centers. Each state of course has two plus
the number of House seats that they have. So what
would this mean for the House of Representatives. Well, if
you remember back in twenty twenty four, right, it was
all about we were talking about the blue Wall.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
If Kamala Harris could.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
Win the baseline Democratic states and then add in the
blue Wall states of Michigan, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin,
she would get to two hundred and seventy electoral votes.
But if all of a sudden, we in fact have
applying the twenty twenty five estimates. The population estimates to
the electoral College, the Blue states plus the Blue Wall
(29:57):
of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would no longer be enough.
Under the current estimates, you get to exactly two hundred
and seventy electro votes, the minimum needed to win the
electoral College. If in fact, you apply the twenty twenty
five estimates, look at that, you would only get to
two hundred and sixty three electro votes if you were
a Democrat, which would mean a Republican victory.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Democrats have seen this coming for a while. That's why
they now criticize the electoral College. See what they do
is change the rules to suit themselves. They don't really
care about our government being representative. Look, they would change
the rules of baseball to the rules of football if
(30:40):
their players were all three hundred pounds right. They would
change the rules of football to the rules of basketball
if their players were all seven feet tall. They want
to change the rules to suit what they're trying to accomplish.
I read this recently. I'm going to read it again
because I think it is very very telling. It is
(31:01):
known in the political world as voting with your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
If you want to.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Know if the policies of a place are being successful,
how they're being reviewed. Look at what people who can
move do. Often the really poor or the working poor
cannot move, and that is because if you own a
home in a rough neighborhood, it's hard to sell it.
(31:30):
And so we've seen that in places like New York,
well in places all the blue cities. And that's who
really loses out of this. The fabulously wealthy. They can
up and move in a second, and they'll even hold
on to their place in New York or in LA
and just move somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Zuckerberg moved to Florida.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
We've seen this with billionaire after billionaire relocating. And by
the way, they're almost all liberals. They're almost all liberal policies.
But when it comes down to it, what do they do?
Where do they live? Texas Florida. Texas and Florida are
big ones, the two biggest probably now, but anyway, so
(32:15):
you look at the states who have the cities which
have gained the most headquarters from.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Twenty twenty to twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Dallas is almost one hundred, Austin is over fifty, Houston, Phoenix,
and Nashville in that order, are all twenty five and more?
And where did they come from? San Francisco has lost
over one hundred. LA's lost almost one hundred. New York
has lost about thirty. Chicago and they'd lost a bunch already.
(32:50):
Chicago and San Diego have lost upwards of let's see that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's on a grass, so it's about ten each.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
That's called voting with your feet for a company to
move their headquarters. This isn't a guy that graduated college,
and you know, maybe I'll or graduated high school, you know,
Jack Carrowac, maybe I'll go out on the road and
figure out where I'm going to live. Or somebody moving
to LA or Hollywood to take a waitressing job to
see if they can get into movies. Moving a corporation
(33:19):
is a big deal for people.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
To do that, your policies have to be bad.
