Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello, and it is great to be with you once again on another week here from the Asylum Studios, bringing you the best quality political talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. This is the podcast. The more I hear it, the more I like it. It's a good choice, I think. Well, folks, how are you doing? How was your weekend? It's Monday already. Can you believe that? Everything here went by so fast this week this weekend. Had a ton of things going on, and I got almost none of it accomplished. So I don't know. It was it was just one of those it was just one of those weekends.
So, as you guys you got I don't know if you remember or not, but I I I had told you guys last week that, last Sunday, a week ago Sunday, not this Sunday yesterday, but a week ago, I had had a little accident here at at at the house, and, I spilled some some boiling water. It was either the water landed on me or landed on Charlie, and we didn't want it to land on Charlie, of course. You know? So, so the hot water landed on my foot, and I wasn't wearing shoes. I just had socks on, and and, of course, you know, the boiling water saturated the sock and, you know, it was either drop the the whole pot of water and, you know, get it all over the place, and more including more on myself and probably on on Charlie or Bean, but so instead of letting it go, I just struggle my way over to the sink, and I put it in the sink and pulled the sock off, and, of course, you know, the burn was already there, and, you know, I messed up my foot pretty bad. So, I ended up missing the whole week at the regular job, went back on Friday for a couple hours, and then, and then this weekend, I just needed to kinda stay off it for a little bit because it swelled up really bad. It was just, like, just nasty looking thing. So, I'm kind of amazed by it actually. It's just, you know, watching the healing process on this thing is is, like, crazy.
But, so it so I spent the weekend basically, you know, feet up, not really doing much of anything like that. Watched a bunch of really weird movies. I I'll tell you. I got I don't know if you guys watch Tubi or anything like that, but Tubi has some of the strangest movies ever. And, I I got some I I I downloaded, like, a bunch of movies from Tubi, and I sat there and I watched those things. And, I I love the old, like, nineteen seventies, horror flicks, you know, all those, like, those devil worship kind of movies and stuff like that, really stupid things. But, but I've been watching those things, and and, I I I kinda got into some other movies also, older movies.
I think I I watched was it yesterday? I watched, The Fall of the House of Usher from 1928, so a silent movie. And, of course, it was in French. You know, the the, the subtitle or the, the title cards, were in French, so I really couldn't follow along too well. But I did the best I could, you know, but, it was it was interesting. Wasn't bad, actually. It was pretty good. It had some pretty innovative, very avant garde kind of things, but I guess, you know, that's the twenties. So but, really enjoyed that, and, and and just be able to spend the time with with the kids like that was was kinda nice. But, I did actually I I downloaded, a movie called The Damned, which came out, about a year or so ago, and, really interesting movie. Kinda it it it built itself as more scary than than than it was.
For me, it was just very tense to watch, so I I I watched that on, on, Saturday night, and very good, very well done movie. I I I really did enjoy it. Again, very tense, stylistic. It was beautiful to watch. The special effects, the graphic were fantastic, and, I I think I still have access to it for another for another day. So I'm gonna I'm gonna watch it again probably, tonight, or or, you know, I'll try to do it tonight. If not, then I'll just have to get it again some other time. But, great movie. It was and, basically, it it was, I I forget where it was set, but, basically, it was it was it was winter on this island where, they they would go fishing from, and, there was a shipwreck, and they had to go out and and, and they couldn't go out to to to rescue anybody until the next day. And then when they finally went out, they were expecting, you know, to find, you know, dead people and, you know, less stuff, and instead they found they were they they found people that were alive, and and they tried to capsize the boat and and the whole big thing, and people ended up getting killed.
And then, the the the fisherman from the island, ended up getting haunted by these ghosts, and, it was, like I said, really well done. Very tense, not scary per se, but very tense. I recommend it. Check it out. It's It's called The Damned. I think it's on I I I saw it on on Google Play, but, I'm sure you could find it elsewhere as well, but definitely need to check that one out. That was pretty good. So that's pretty much what I did over the weekend, and, you know, of course, I spent some time, you know, reading up on what's going on around the world and, news and all that fun stuff. And, you know, so you you you watch some of the stuff that goes on, in the in the world here today, and and, man, it can get depressing. It it really can when you and you just look at all the stuff that's going on. But, but, hey. You know? That's that's the world we live in. We gotta just try to understand it and work our way through it. But, but, again, just had a great weekend. I I I thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt really well rested. Went back to work today for the for for a full day, and, got some swelling going on right now, but, yeah, it's it's alright. It's manageable.
And, I think I think we should be we should be fine. But, got also went through a lot of news today. Got a lot of stories that, I wanted to cover, but I'm not going to because, I know I keep on I keep on saying it, but we're gonna try to keep it to an hour. Try is the emphasis here. Try. I just, I I just tend to bloviate a little bit, so, don't know when to shut up sometimes. But, hey. You know? That's just I guess that's the Italian in me, you know? I just always talking with the hands here, they're flying all over the place, and that's why I'm using the boom again because I keep on knocking into it. I tried to use one of those low profile mics. Mic booms here. And, when I was playing around with it, I kept on knocking into it with my hands and all that stuff, and I had the other one here directly in front of me and kept on smacking into that thing too. The only thing I don't really hit very often is the boom.
And, we're trying out the, the SMB seven tonight. I'm gonna play with this one for a little while. And then, I got some new stuff on the way that we're gonna be doing some cabling here and try to clean it up a little bit, make it look a little bit better. But, well, my end anyway, you can't see the rest of it. That's all around me, but it's a mess. But, hey, that's what that's what it's all about. Alright. So, with all that chitchat, done there, let's, what do you say we go into some, some of the housekeeping stuff? As always, just head over to the website, joeroos.com.

Also, if you could, look for that, support button on our website as well. And just to remind you that this is a value for value podcast. And all that basically means is that if you have received anything of value from what we've been doing here for the last, 47 episodes. Wow. 47 episodes already. I can't believe this is episode 48. Can't believe that. I know I'm going off the subject again, but, you know, when we first started this thing, it was recording it once a week. It it actually started off as recording a show on audio only whenever we felt like doing it. Then it became, well, we'll we'll we'll try, you know, to do two shows in a week and but recording it, you know, and and all that stuff. And then next thing you know, we're doing live audio shows twice a week, and then we, got into the video side of it. Now it's, you know, doing three to five shows a week on video, live video and live audio, and takes up a lot of my time, but it's fun. I enjoy it. I like being with you guys. So, I digress.
So where were we? Oh, support. Yes. Yes. Very important. So value for value, if you've received any value from what we've been doing here, all we're asking is that you return that value to us in the form of a donation in any amount whatsoever.

I take a number of the supplements that, the Alex Jones store has on hand, and, like Irish sea moss, turmeric, the atomic defense, optimal human, the Shilajit, is great. So and, they have a new product out called, methylene blue. So, which is just I haven't tried it yet, but from everything that I've read and looked at and and and and kinda gone over the the information on it, this stuff is pretty good, especially since that, the Alex Jones store gets it from, from a very well known reputable lab, and it's, it's USP level, grade. It's, US pharmacopoeia, you know, pharmaceutical grade, supplement. So definitely check it out. Alright.

Alright. So with all of that said, I think it's time for us to basically say, goodbye to the folks on YouTube, on x, and on Twitch, and hopefully, we'll see you over on Rumble. Take care.
Alright. I think we are officially disconnected from everybody over there. Let's grab some coffee. And, that should just about get rid of all that. And, of course, my nose is starting to run now, but that's okay. Alright. Well, like I said earlier, we have a a lot of stuff that we wanna cover. Can't tell you how many how many video clips do we have? Not not not so many. Only have 14. 14 long ones. So but we're gonna try to keep it to the hour. Okay? Maybe an hour and twenty. Hour and ten? Thirty? I don't know. We'll see. Alright. Well, with, with all of that, how about we get
[00:17:11] Unknown:
to the news?
[00:17:16] Unknown:
Alright. Let's see. I wanted to start with this one tonight because this is really important. So right now, what's what's going on, Elon Musk is out in Wisconsin. There's a very important, race going on out there, and it has the potential oh, I just hit my foot. It has the potential to affect the balance of power in the house. Alright? What the Democrats are trying to do, and they're not doing it, they're not doing it, on the sly either. They're they're pretty out in the open about it. What they're trying to do here is, how do I put it?
They're trying they're trying they're trying to get the they're trying to get this judgeship, for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and, in doing that, they'll be able to redraw districts, and by redrawing the districts, they'll be able to gain seats in the house, which would close the gap on that already, slim Republican margin, lead that the Republicans have. And and should that happen and there's also a race going on right now in Florida, to for two seats in Florida, I believe it is, and they have the Democratic party has been pouring money in it's like 10 to one, for for the amount of money that they've been pouring into these into these races.
One of the seats is a, pretty much a Republican stronghold, and that's, I think it's District 1, which is Matt Getz, former district, and then there's also, I think, it's District 6 in Florida, which is, for, Mike Walls, who is now the NSA, for the administration. So, those are two empty seats that the Democrats are really pouring a lot of money into, just like this, Supreme Court seat in, this in Wisconsin, the state of Wisconsin. So, Elon Musk has been out there, and he's been basically campaigning for, for for these seats and and to and to protect the this majority that that the Republican party has.
So, he held a, a a, like a like a like a rally, basically. And what he did was let me let me do this, really quickly before we get into that. So folks, just wanna tell you a little bit about 1775 coffee. Okay? Seventeen seventy five coffee. Wheat coffee is for the weak, and at rumble, weak has never been part of the mission. No fillers, no fraud, and no settling for mediocrity just like seventeen seventy five coffee. It's a single origin, small farm, handpicked, specialty grade coffee that stands for quality, free speech, and calling out the BS when it matters. Forget the stale, mass produced beans roasted just enough to hide the flaws. Dark roast hits like a hits like a Trump tariff.
Medium roast keeps it bold without the bitterness and vitality mushroom blend, real energy and lasting focus, no synthetic garbage. For cake cup for cake cup pods, whole bean, or fresh ground coffee, just head over to 1775coffee.com. Use code studio for 15% off, and start your morning with coffee that stands for something. Oh, and by the way, every dollar that that's spent enters you into enters you into a contest to win a Cybertruck and $30,000 in cash. So 1775coffee.com. That's 1775coffee.com. Alright. So Elon Musk and Doge hit the road and, at this at this little rally they held going on here, Elon Musk basically confirms, widespread voter fraud as millions. Now this is important. Alright? Because this matters.
This really matters. Widespread voter fraud, millions of non citizens get access to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box. Think about that. Non citizens getting access to the to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box, and millions refer to DHS for illegal voting prosecutions. Alright. So, billionaire and entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery one hundred minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaign for conservative judge Brad Schimmel in the state's upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday. So that's tomorrow. So, folks, if you are in Wisconsin and you're listening to the show, you're watching the show, and I'm I'm hoping that somebody is, tomorrow is a very important election.
This is not something you can have you can sit on your hands about. You need to get out there, and you need to vote. Alright? This is, and I know it's an off season kind of election. It's an off season, it's not your normal election day, but this is very important because as I was saying earlier, you, we can easily lose the Republican majority in the house, and then at the midterms, and then you know what that would bring? If we lost the majority at the house, you're talking about an obstructionist Democratic led congress, Democrat obstructionist led committees and committee chairs, You're talking about endless investigations, not that I think there's really anything need to be needs to be investigated at this particular point. I think this administration has been the most transparent administration that I've ever seen in my life, but there will be countless and endless investigations, and you know you know for a fact that they're going to try to impeach Donald Trump again.
So there and and, of course, going through all of that is gonna be wasting more and more taxpayer dollars, plus, like I said, being obstructionists, all of the good stuff that's been going on with this administration since day one comes to an end. So it's extremely important that we're that you're out there and you're voting. It's extremely important that you're going to be, getting to the polls and bringing people to the polls with you. You know, bring bring three or four people with you. Every vote here matters. Just like just like it was important to get out and vote for for president Trump, it's important to get out and vote now.
We have to protect these seats in Florida, and we have to keep control of this, this, this, Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. Remember, the Democrats are outspending the Republicans right now. The Democratic Party is outspending the outspending GOP ten to one. You have Bernie Sanders supporting, I I man, I just forgot the guy's name that's running in Matt Getz's spot. But you have Bernie Sanders out there supporting the the Democratic candidate, and, you know, it this is this is very this is a an incredibly important election. And I know we all say every election's an important election. Oh, this is the most important election of our lifetime. Well, in a lot of ways it is, and I'm and I know people are tired of of the the the onslaught of of just, you know, you gotta get involved, you gotta vote, you gotta vote, you gotta you know, having politics thrown in your faces.
People just wanna be left alone. You know, people are just at the point now, like, Alex, I'm like that too. You know, I just I just wanna be left. I don't wanna I don't care about the government sometimes. You know? I just I don't care. Just whatever. Just but you have to care. You have to get involved. You have to stay involved, especially in these off season elections, these special elections. Gotta get out there and vote. So Florida, you gotta get out and vote. Wisconsin, tomorrow, you've gotta get out and vote. We gotta hold the majority. Otherwise, we're looking at just endless investigations, obstructionists, impeachment, all that stuff for the for the for the final two years of Donald Trump's second term, and all the good work that has take already taken place is gonna get thrown out the window.
There's a lot riding on this. There's a lot riding on it, so please get out and vote. Please do it. Anyway, back to, our piece here. Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency team, tasked with rooting out waste at the federal government. Musk unveiled a shocking chart, a dramatic spike in Social Security numbers issued to noncitizens soaring from 270,000 in 02/2021 to a mind blowing 2,100,000 in 02/2024. So in three years, it went from 270,000 to 2,100,000 social security numbers issued to non citizens.
So basically that that's that's like 5,000,000 non citizens embedded in the system now collecting benefits,
[00:27:35] Unknown:
your taxpayer dollars,
[00:27:40] Unknown:
and probably even more important than all of it, the voter rolls. So I have a clip here. Our first one of the night. It's a it's a long one. It's about six minutes, but but it's important I need you to hear the whole thing. Okay? So stay with us.
[00:27:59] Unknown:
And then you'll notice there's a strange trend here, where, how many Social Security numbers were issued?
[00:28:09] Unknown:
It it's do do you wanna Yeah. So let let me, let me tell what happened here. We we started at the top of the system. You wanna talk about a lot of people. We started at the top of the system mapping the whole system of Social Security to understand where all the fraud was. And there's a lot of great people there that showed us, really a lot of waste. And so that came with a big list of stuff they're working on. You've heard some of that already, but this is what jumped out at us. When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this? In '21, you see 270,000, people goes all the way to 2,100,000 in '24.
These are noncitizens that are getting Social Security numbers. Yeah. This this is a mind blowing charge. Yeah. Just this this literally blew us away. Like, we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident. And this isn't political, by the way. My parents are immigrants. Yeah. This country has been great to us. My brothers and sisters are all born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is not this is not political. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed us in this direction. I wanna I wanna honor them right now, that work in the government today, who took risk to show us these numbers and tell us what's going on.
Yeah. So I wanna stop for a minute. I wanna tell I wanna honor those people today.
[00:29:26] Unknown:
Very good people. Very good people.
[00:29:29] Unknown:
I have been from DC to Social Security offices to the border to track this down, and very good people have helped us along the way. I wanna thank them. Yeah. This number, what this is, is when you come in the country, if you're illegal, there's a couple of ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid. You'll get a they'll give you a silent a silent case. You get an interview, then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally, this happened. I talked to border patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo, and I went to Bronzeville. Elon went to Eagle Pass.
You walk up to a border patrol officer, and you tell him you wanna come in. They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or felony under thirteen twenty five, or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket basically. They were told to do that, make an administrative offense on the last administration. And then you go walk across the border, they, do what's called a, release in your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, notice to appear, which appear to judge. The wait times on judges are like average six years. Look at Garak, you'll see it on immigration judges. There's only 700 of them. This is 5,500,000 people. K? So what happens then? Once you're in the country and you've got asylum through one of these pathways, we've mapped the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document.
You file a seven six five. It's the work form. You get this form called the seven six six. That's the authorization. And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number. No interview.
[00:31:06] Unknown:
No ID. This is worth, like, just reiterating. It it it's not that it's not people sometimes think that under the Biden administration that that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn't asleep. They were asleep at the switch. It it it was a massive large scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of The United States and disenfranchise the the American people and make it a permanent deep blue one party state from which there would be no escape?
[00:31:34] Unknown:
Look. If I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure I'd believed it. I went through it myself and mapped it. And Yolanda is right. This is true. The defaults in the system from social security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people and minimum collection. That's what's happening. We found one point three million of them already on Medicaid as an example. We've gone through on every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, this 5,500,000 people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why. We're asking ourselves why.
And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population. Yes. And who did vote? And and we found some by sampling that actually did vote, and we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service Yeah. Already. Already. That is already happening right now. Yeah. And the truly disturbing thing, though, I just want you to know this, a truly disturbing thing to me and the darkest thing about this to me, the voter fraud is terrible, but the human tragedy this created is extraordinary. Because what you don't understand, and people don't know, and Americans need to know, that's why I'm here, is that human traffickers made 13 to $15,000,000,000 off of this.
Okay? That's the money that's going around the world. Moving people around the world to our borders because of these incentives. How does it work? What happens? Hey. If you're in Africa and you're in South America, you gotta walk up through Mexico. If you're in South America, who do you pay? You pay the narcos. You pay the traffickers. Right? And we found we were told by ICE, it's between 20,000 and $500 to pendulum pick you up to walk across all those countries and get all the way up to the border. Where does that money goes? It goes to the cartels.
It goes to human traffickers. Right? There are 30,000 children that have not appeared on the notice to appear already. ICE knows this. 30,000 children. 270,000 children didn't even get notices to appear. ICE told us that kids are being trafficked back and forth across the border to complete families to make this easier. This is a human tragedy. It's not just the money. It's the people and the kids. And how many of these people died on the way up here that didn't make it in? What happened to them? We created this system here that created a descendant for people to come and be taking advantage of by these traffickers. And how do you think they get paid? Well, you're an African American, you got $20,000 or $10,000 or $5,000 to pay these traffickers? No, you don't. What happens? You come in, then you owe them the money. You're indentured servant.
If you don't pay them, what happens? What do they do? They kill your mother, they kill your brother, they kill your family. What happens next? That's what we discovered. And I have to tell you, it was it's tragic to me. The tragedy the human tragedy this created is extraordinary. That's the real problem. This is America. We don't do this here in America. Yeah. We don't do this here in America.
[00:34:40] Unknown:
Now just now just think about this. First of all, that's that's unbelievable amount of money that's getting traffic through. $15,000,000,000. That's one thing. Another thing is over a million are receiving benefits, maxed out benefits, that you, me, your grandparents, your parents paid into a system and basically get peanuts peanuts compared to what the illegals are getting. And think of it like this also. If the Democrats get control again, all of this will continue and only get worse. It it will continue and only get worse. Now aside from stealing elections or trying to circumvent the will of the people by by redistricting maps like they're gonna try to do in in, Wisconsin, should they should they win the Supreme Court seat?
They, of course, resort to what? They resort to civil unrest. They they resort to violence. Elon Musk was also talking about, death threats that that he's been dealing with.
[00:36:52] Unknown:
It's it's a super it's a super big deal. And and the the fact that I'm here in person like, I'm not voting it in. I'm here in person. I'm and they're yeah. And there there were quite a few death threats, I have to tell you. I was like, my security team said said, well, it's it's actually gone down from yesterday to today. We're down from 18,000 to 17,000. So I'm like, oh, maybe it's getting better. You know? But you can see, like, is it how crazy some of these people are. You know, like like at the the the two, sort of people that tried to assassinate president Trump. You know? I mean, that was and what you know, they both almost succeeded.
So it's it's real. Like, it's not like some imaginary thing. So anyway so what what we're announcing is is kind of like a
[00:37:54] Unknown:
Alright. So and I'm sorry about the audio there if that was one-sided. Yeah. I don't know what happened. My, suddenly heard it on one side of my headset. So, the left is violent. The left is crazed, if I could use that term. And, of course, you know, we see it's not just against, men like Elon Musk and and president Trump who you know, a guy like Elon Musk can afford, you know, the best security, you know, he could his money could buy, you know, and and president Trump, of course, has, the US Secret Service, not not well, now, I guess, I I I would feel more I feel more comfortable with the Secret Service, but, you know, a little touch and go there for a little bit.
But what about what about everyday Americans? The everyday person. Because, you know, it's not it's not just happening here in The United States where where where people are getting, assaulted and and their cars vandalized and and dealerships being burned. It's it's it's spreading around the world. And that's that's to tell you how organized this whole thing is. This is these aren't just organic, you know, grassroots, you know, pop up things. They're this is something that's being coordinated and organized. But, what I was thinking of today too was and and I saw this, this is this is horrible.
A 61 year old woman driving a Tesla gets boxed in by an by a male driver who then jumps out of his vehicle and proceeds to beat her until until the the the passenger, in his car gets out and comes to get him. Take a look at this.
[00:39:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Both of these victims have had their Teslas for years long before Elon Musk ever got into politics, but that's not stopping people from coming after them. One woman we spoke to was just driving down the road when all of a sudden an angry driver cut her off, got out of the vehicle, and assaulted her, and the whole thing was caught on camera. We've seen the violence building in cities across the country. Tesla vehicles set on fire in Las Vegas, Graffiti on Tesla cars in Colorado. A man caught on camera keying a model x in Dallas. And now Tesla owners under attack in Arizona.
[00:40:34] Unknown:
I'm just appalled. I I didn't buy my car for a political statement. I I bought my car because it's really fun to drive, and, my politics have nothing to do with that. And I'm I'm just I'm ashamed of our society
[00:40:50] Unknown:
and what they're doing. This is video of a Tesla attack in Flagstaff last week. It shows a green car pulling up next to a Tesla on busy Route 66, then swerving in front to box the vehicle in. The driver then walks over to the 61 year old woman in the Tesla and reportedly starts hitting her while she's behind the wheel.
[00:41:10] Unknown:
I started to say, you cut me off. What's your problem? But I don't know how much of that got out, and he started to punch me with a a closed fist.
[00:41:20] Unknown:
At one point, the victim who wants to hide her identity says she bit the man's hand. Moments later, the passenger of the green car appears to walk over and pull the attacker away. They finally get back in their car and drive off. The incident is among the latest attacks on Arizona Tesla drivers being targeted because of the car they drive. We also spoke to a woman who told us she left a grocery store in Flagstaff recently and found a note on her car that said, when she's a Nazi and a loser. A few weeks later, she received a threatening text calling her a racist POS.
[00:41:56] Unknown:
It's wrong. It's deplorable, and I think they're just they're just hurting people. They're not really hurting a company or Tesla.
[00:42:06] Unknown:
Both of the Tesla owners targeted have recently signed up for a gun safety course at a gun range north of Flagstaff.
[00:42:12] Unknown:
They were targeted because they drove a Tesla, and as a result of that felt quite vulnerable. They were surprised that someone would actually do something like that and realize that if they are doing it, and they're targeting them because of the car they drive, that they needed to take some additional measures to help protect themselves.
[00:42:31] Unknown:
Now the man accused of assaulting that woman in her Tesla has been cited and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. We've also learned that a takedown Tesla campaign will kick into high gear this weekend with more than 200 protests planned at Tesla dealerships around the world. Several of those protests are planned here in the valley. Whether they remain peaceful, we'll let you know. Reporting live in Phoenix, Jason Barry for Arizona's family.
[00:42:59] Unknown:
So do do you see what I what I'm talking about? The left, they're unhinged. They're they're and and, again, liberalism is a mental illness. It truly truly is. And what about this one? Florida woman charged with felony after allegedly vandalizing a Tesla with chewing gum. This woman, Florida woman, has been charged with a felony. Chewing gum a large water chewing gum causing nearly $3,000 in damage. Yamaris Moreira was charged with felony criminal mischief following the incident, which occurred in the parking lot of Aventura Mall in Miami Dade County according to local ten news. The damage amounted to $2,623.66, reportedly affected the car door's handle mechanism the actors captured on the on the electric vehicle's, built in cameras.
The owner of the Tesla told Local ten News that he believed he was targeted due to, unfortunately, a divide in our country where certain views that are not accepted by, where certain views that are not accepted by a subset referencing Tesla and, support for Donald Trump and his role in, and and Musk for, his role in in Doge. Marrero was spotted by a security guard inside the mall's food court, leading officers to take him into custody. She admitted to her actions that her admission was redacted in the publicly released statement. I mean I mean, folks, come on.
Liberal Liberals are freaking nuts. They are all completely triggered. They don't have an argument. They can't win on or they they can't win on the issues. So what do they they resort to violence. They resort to vandalism. They they resort to destruction of of, of, private property. Think we have a video playing that shouldn't be. So if we do, yes. Okay. Alright. And then and then and what else? Well, we also have we also have the,
[00:45:51] Unknown:
the,
[00:45:54] Unknown:
the GOP headquarters in, New Mexico, in Albuquerque, torched. A deliberate arson attack. And then on, on the wall of the building, they they spray painted ice equals KKK. Let me see where is it. There you go. Okay. So here, this is, DC Draino, on x. Posted this. I received exclusive photos from the New Mexico GOP showing that their HQ in Albuquerque was firebombed last night. This was a deliberate act of domestic terrorism. The culprit spray painted ice equals KKK. You could see it there on the right. Anyone else said that the federal crackdown begin?
So the Albuquerque fire department said that they were dispatched, to a call right before 6AM and said the fire was brought under control within five minutes of the crew's arrival. The structure suffered damage to the front entryway, smoke damage throughout the building. The Republican Party of New Mexico has since slammed the horrific attack, adding the incident is part of a disturbing pattern of politically motivated violence that has plagued our country fueled in part by the silence and the implicit encouragement from progressive leaders who refuse to condemn these acts. And, yeah. That's that's exactly right. That is exactly right.
But then they're not gonna condemn the acts because they they want these things. They they're looking for this type of civil unrest. How many times have we heard Maxine you know, mad Maxine Waters, screaming and shrieking from from her, from her podium about, you know, starting a civil war? This is what they want, and they're waiting for that one moment when when it when it really hits the fan and someone gets hurt on the left, and then they'll start screaming for civil war. It's inevitable. I hate to say that, but it is. It's inevitable. Early this morning, this is, the Republican Party of New Mexico, deliberate arson targets GOP headquarters in Albuquerque.
Early this morning, the entryway of the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson, which also included spray painting the words ice equals KKK, and this was posted to report the, the incident. Now there's also a New Mexico, congresswoman named, Teresa Leger Fernandez who was called out by, Stephanie Ford, who's a a a representative for, New Mexico. She called her out for telling her followers to agitate. Just yesterday, Teresa, Legor Fernandez used inflammatory language during her speech in Santa Fe. Said, lord, we have a three pronged project. Legislate, litigate, agitate. You guys are part of the agitate. And then representative John Block said yesterday, Teresa for NM told her radical followers to agitate. This morning, the Mexico GOP headquarters was firebombed. Coincidence? No. Her loyal followers also continue to attack Tesla's at dealerships on tribal lands.
This is the modern day left, folks. This is this is the modern day left. And then what about this little gem? How many of you guys use Jackson Hewitt to get your taxes done? I've never used them. You know, I I've seen ads for them all over the place, but I've never used Jackson Hewitt. And, after this, I will not use them ever or even think about using them ever. Jackson Hewitt Tax Services allegedly caught handing out tax filing instructions to illegal immigrants. With tax day a little more than two weeks away, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services has been caught handing out flyers in New York City, allegedly advising illegal immigrants on how to get up to $14,000 in tax refunds from the IRS.
Up to $14,000. Savannah Hernandez, did a did a a great piece on this. I saw it earlier, and, I'm gonna play a I'm gonna play a portion of it for you in in just a moment. But, I mean, folks, this has to this has to get you upset. This has to piss you off. According to independent journalist Savannah Hernandez, the company's representatives are handing out information outside the Roosevelt Hotel, migrant shelter with tax filing tips showing illegal aliens how they can get thousands of dollars from the IRS based on how many children they claim to have.
Hernandez presented a flyer that seems to inform migrants that they can get a $7,650 refund if they claim one child, 12,635 if they have two, and $14,002.55 for three. Now I don't know about you, but it seems like no matter how many, you know, how I mean, I I put zeros, you know, as far as withholding so that they take out as much as they can take out, and I still somehow owe almost every single year. Especially since my kids have grown and moved on, and I don't have dependents anymore like that, I have I basically owe almost every year, even though the federal takes out as much as they possibly can take out legally. And here, their their illegals are being told how to get money that should really be coming back to the American taxpayer.
Check this out.
[00:52:29] Unknown:
We do this stuff like this, like, in all the shelters and stuff. But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people
[00:52:35] Unknown:
by, you know, providing them with refunds, you know. This is Savannah Hernandez in front of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Now we wanted to come check-in on the migrant crisis. And as we were walking around, we saw a Jackson Hewitt table out here with an employee who was handing out this flyer. Now what this flyer says is working or not, file your taxes, and we can get the maximum refund for your family. And the, paper says that if you have one child, you can get over $7,000 in a refund. And if you have up to three children, you can get over 14,000. So the Jackson Hewitt employee who initially handed me this paper, after finding out I was a journalist, took the paper away. That's why this one's so dirty because a migrant ended up giving me another copy. And he stated that if he's put on camera and this goes out, that legal will have to get involved. We do this stuff like this, like, at all the shelters and stuff. Right? But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people by, you know, providing them with refunds. You know? So you guys are trying to help the migrants with their taxes then? Yes. To help them get refunds, help them get some money back from the government? Yes.
Okay. Well, thank you. No problem. Yeah. We're just gonna go check something.
[00:53:39] Unknown:
Can't put my footage.
[00:53:41] Unknown:
Can we, take one of your papers, though, just so we can kind of thank you.
[00:53:46] Unknown:
Actually, you should just take this one because this one has my office information.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
And so, therefore, legal would have to get involved. So that's fine. So just wanted to give you guys an idea of, again, what migrants have been told in New York City. Now that tax season is coming up, they are being given, official flyers from Jackson Hewitt themselves on how to file their taxes. You know, we have the Trump administration that is currently in office, and they been promising mass deportations. But in sanctuary cities like New York, where you've had over 200,000 illegal immigrants make their way to this area, the crisis is very much alive and well. Now this shelter behind me is actually set to close in June, but you have have another shelter that was just opened up in the Bronx with 2,200 beds specifically for single migrant men. So the crisis very much alive here in New York City that has already spent $7,000,000,000 on migrants over the last couple of years. Wanted to give you guys an update as of March 2025 where we're currently at with it.
[00:54:42] Unknown:
Now after she posted that on x, Elon Musk noted that this sort of fraud is costing American, America Billions Billions Of Dollars a year, and it's serving to attract illegals to the country. He said, quote, IRS refund fraud payments are one of several means used by the Democratic those stopping this. The Democratic Party is aiding and abetting fraudulent government payments to illegals in order to establish a permanent one party majority nationally just like they did in California. The more you look into it, the crazier it gets. Folks, I mean, I the the this is this is your money.
Your money that you work hard for, that the federal government is is just giving away to to anybody and everybody except the American people, who it rightfully belongs to. This is why I say over and over and over again that federal income taxes need to be abolished. The sixteenth amendment needs to be abolished. The IRS needs to be abolished. There should there there should not be a an income tax, an individual income tax, ever, because this is what it's used for. It's used to push a one party narrative. It's used to line the pockets of politicians and needs to stop.
I know that that president Trump talked about it on the campaign trail, haven't heard much about it since, but I would like to know where are we with this IRS stuff. Are we getting rid of the IRS or not? Are we waiting for the tariffs to, to fully, go into place before we make that final decision, that final call on that. And I know that the president can't just, you know, at the stroke of a panel, abolish these the the, you know, that that whole operation that and the and the amendment that was, fraudulently ratified.
Not even I can't even say ratified because it wasn't technically ratified because it needed 38 states only had 35. So it would take it literally an act of Congress to get rid of it, and now's the time to do it. You have the majority. But all this needs it this needs to stop. And, of course, you know, there there's more to do for Doge. Not gonna spend too much time on this, but, Elon Musk, according to the New York Post, Elon Musk reveals those new target members of congress who who got strangely wealthy. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the at at, Doge will investigate how certain members of congress have achieved generational wealth.
One attendee at the town hall asked asked Musk if Doge had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development or USAID to, representative Maxine Waters, senator Adam Schiff, and senate minority leader Chuck Schumer. Musk's answer was, they'll the government send the money overseas to one NGO or nongovernmental organization, and then they'll go through a bunch of them. And then I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to The United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned. Now the average salary of of, a representative in Congress is about a hundred and 74,000 a year.
Two of the wealthiest people in Congress, house speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has a net worth of about $250,000,000, and Rick Scott, a Republican, at 552,000,000. Don't you kinda wonder where that came from? Now Pelosi, you know, her husband, he was a venture capitalist and, you know, they they have investments in in Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Netflix, all that stuff. But they also have access to information that you and I don't have so they can make some calculated moves and move their money around and it's called it's called insider trading if you and I do it. If they do it, it's legal.
Mike Scott's fortune comes from, his cofounding HCA Healthcare, Soltanic I'm sorry. Soltantic, which is an urgent care clinic chain. And, his work on that stuff all comes before he was in the senate. But how do they get $20,000,000 if they're earning 200,000 a year? Well, we're hoping that Doge figures that out, and they hope hopefully, they figure that out soon. Alright. We're just gonna I have a lot more that I wanna get to, but we're already over the hour. So I'm gonna I'm going to, I'm I'm gonna just talk about this here very briefly, and then and then we'll wrap it all up here. Alright. But, this whole thing about sing about signal, signal gate, and, I I know I said I I didn't wanna talk about it anymore because it's a nonissue. It's really it really is. It's it's it's really it's a nothing burger, to be honest with you, but the Democrats just won't seem to let it go. The media just won't seem to let it go.
And if you paid attention to the Sunday morning shows, like, I I watched some of them yesterday. If you if you watch any of the Sunday morning shows, this is pretty much what they talk about. I mean, again, like like I said, the this is really a nonissue. It's a it's an app that's authorized for government use. So in other words, they're allowed to use it. There's nothing that says they can't. There was nothing in there that was classified. There was nothing in there that is, that was mission critical. I mean, it was it it it it really wasn't. It it it you saw them. I I showed you the the the the the screenshots that Jeffrey Goldberg posted on the on in the Atlantic even though he said he wasn't going to journalistic integrity and all that stuff.
But even though no specifics were given, no troop movements were given, no dates, times, locations, names, anything like that was given, despite the fact that that the attack went off without a hitch. American service members were not put in any danger. ABC, CNN, MSNBC had hosts, guests, you name it, all talking about whether or not the information discussed in the signal group was classified information and what should happen to to the the the what should happen to the people involved in the chat. Again, not classified information. Again, nothing needs to happen to anybody.
No one needs to be fired. And I'll be in in all fairness, if if it was a Democrat administration and this happened, I would say the same thing because it's the facts. And facts, as John Adams has said, are stubborn things. So as I was looking at these Sunday morning shows, Martha Raditz, you know Martha, she she referred to this whole thing as, jaw dropping and and extraordinary national security breach. And then she went on to to accuse the administration of downplaying and deflecting and dismissing, you know, all the d's, the seriousness of the situation.
Let's take a look at Martha. Right here.
[01:04:49] Unknown:
It was a jaw dropping disclosure. That signal group thread where top administration officials discussed sensitive military plans in a group chat that included the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg inadvertently added to the group by national security adviser, Mike Waltz, who like the rest of the administration has tried mightily to brush the controversy aside. This week, the Trump administration downplaying, deflecting, and at times outright dismissing an extraordinary
[01:05:19] Unknown:
national security breach. There was no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night. Nobody was texting
[01:05:27] Unknown:
war plans. The messages at the heart of the group chat on the commercial messaging app Signal contained detailed attack plans from defense secretary Hegseth two and a half hours before US forces launched air strikes on targets in Yemen. Team update, Hegseth wrote, weather is favorable. Just confirmed with CENTCOM, we are a go for mission launch. Hegseth then detailing the sequencing hour by hour. 12:15 e t, f eighteen's launch, first strike package. Thirteen forty five, f 18, first strike window starts. Target terrorist is at his known location so should be on time.
Also, strike drones launch, m q nines, more f eighteens launch, second strike package. Then telling the group that at fourteen fifteen, strike drones on target, adding this is when the first bombs will definitely drop. Hegseth still insisting that he did nothing wrong. There's no units,
[01:06:29] Unknown:
no locations, no routes, no flight paths.
[01:06:34] Unknown:
But for this operation, there was only one plausible f 18 unit and only one plausible location, the USS Truman, a carrier in the Red Sea, which did indeed carry out the attacks.
[01:06:48] Unknown:
Thank you very much. We're heading off strike plan before they launch. Mister secretary, how do you square what you said with what your messages show? The chat group included vice president Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz,
[01:07:00] Unknown:
secretary of state Marco Rubio, director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA director, John Ratcliffe, among others. Throughout this week, the administration repeatedly claiming that no one shared any classified information in the group chat. There was no classified information as I understand it. Or as Marco Rubio did
[01:07:22] Unknown:
Obviously, someone made a mistake. Someone made a big mistake and added a journalist.
[01:07:27] Unknown:
Waltz did take responsibility for accidentally adding the reporter. I take full responsibility. I built the I built the group. But Pete Hankseth on an overseas trip this week has not changed his tune no matter what the question.
[01:07:42] Unknown:
I'm quite proud quite proud of what our forces in CENTCOM did on that initial series of very effective and devastating strikes.
[01:07:54] Unknown:
Okay. So they just showed you the same texts and the same messages that I showed you. Was there anything in there that would be that that in your estimation I mean, we're I think we're all pretty intelligent people. I think we can look at these things and and make a make a a judgment and assessment on ourselves. Did any of that look like it was classified information? And if it was classified information, how come Jeffrey Goldberg isn't being, questioned for releasing that classified information. Uh-huh. Because it's not classified. That's why. But then Martha went on and she brought on, senator Mark Warner, and, and this conversation took place.
[01:08:43] Unknown:
It was a jaw drop. And joining me now to talk about this is Democratic senator Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Good to see you, senator. Good morning. There have been very strong denials from the administration that there was anything classified. So quite simply, was this classified information or not?
[01:09:05] Unknown:
Absolutely. It was of such a nature when you were doing the actual battle plans and the timing and what type of aircraft are being sent out. If you had been a traditional military officer or a CIA caseworker and you were this sloppy and careless with this classified information,
[01:09:27] Unknown:
you would be fired. No doubt about it. So so let's talk about this. So they keep saying it was not classified. And what is the confusion there? Could Pete Seg Hegseth have since made it unclassified? What or do different agencies have different classifications?
[01:09:45] Unknown:
There is no question regardless of agency that this was classified. And the point, what I wish egg theft and those folks who are, obfuscating as giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think they're lying about that they should know this is classified. You think every person who says this is I think there is no question when you put out time and place. And I was yesterday down in Hampton Roads. I did two big town halls, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. There were people in the town hall who are either friends or relatives of folks who are on the Truman. The Truman is the aircraft carrier that's been deployed to the Mediterranean.
Those folks were saying if their friends or loved ones were flying those jets and that information had been released and the Houthis were able to change their defensive posture, we could have lost American lives, and folks in Hampton Roads know that. That's a big military community. It's a big military community because it it can it insults the intelligence of the American people when somebody says, oh, no. Nothing classified here. And remember, again, to add add to this, this is not a one off. In the first two weeks, they mistakenly gave up the information of about 200 CIA agents, their identities.
They can't be deployed now. They in in the subsequent thing, the Musk boys put out a list of properties. Included on that was the a classified spot, and then they printed the whole
[01:11:22] Unknown:
budget and headcount of another agency. These are all things that are evidence of the sloppy careless approach. I I I I wanna stick to this particular incident, and I wanna talk about the signal app in particular where this group chat started. This is what attorney general Pam Bondi told Fox News this week. Let's listen.
[01:11:43] Unknown:
I think signal's a very safe way to communicate. I don't think foreign adversaries are able to hack signals as far as I know.
[01:11:50] Unknown:
Is that true?
[01:11:52] Unknown:
Signal is safer than your normal cell phones. It is encrypted. But if miss Bondi had looked at any of the guidance from the intelligence community, which states explicitly, do not use signal for classified information. Do you use signal? I use signal to talk to someone because it is safer. I actually encourage people to use signal, but that still doesn't mean because it's safer, you can put classified information. Matter of fact, again, if miss Bondi knew anything about her job, she would know that we have reports of China and Russia both trying
[01:12:33] Unknown:
to break in the signal. So you you say you use it because it's safer. Mhmm. But what is it that you're talking about that you need to keep safe? I
[01:12:44] Unknown:
my personal conversations I'm sure your personal conversations. We know that after salt typhoon, China can penetrate any of those calls. So being on signal, smarter, yes. Is it able to put classified information? Absolutely not. And matter of fact, one of the things we've been asking, have we collected back the phones from these individuals to make sure there's not malware? The bad guys could put malware into your phone if they've got access even without touching it. And and we don't have information very quickly if you can. The the administration has
[01:13:20] Unknown:
been rightly very critical of the Biden administration on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, but they have also asked about accountability. There was no accountability really in that either. Listen. I thought that the
[01:13:34] Unknown:
withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster. I'm first to agree with that. We have a classic screw up right here. If there is no accountability, not only will the military and the intel people say, why aren't why are bosses not being held to a higher standard? And then our friends, you've already read in public reporting how upset the Israelis are based upon some of their information. But should there have been accountability for the Afghanistan? I think there should be accountability whenever there are screw ups of that nature or this nature.
[01:14:07] Unknown:
So, again, signals an authorized app, and he he pretty much confirmed that. They're trying to make this about classified information, and again, it's not classified information. There were no routes. There were no troop movements. There were no specific names or locations. There was nothing there, but yet that's the drum they're gonna keep beating because they they wanna keep this this whole narrative alive. They wanna try to make this they they want it to be a distraction from all the other stuff, the good stuff that this administration's accomplishing.
So, so Martha went on, and she had on, Mike Turner. Sorry. Couldn't remember his name. GOP rep Mike Turner who was, formerly the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and, this is, how that went. It's kind of a long I'm not gonna play the whole thing, but
[01:15:26] Unknown:
just get the idea. For the Republican reaction to the signal group, it has been mostly muted.
[01:15:32] Unknown:
I don't think anyone should have lost their job over that because an errant number,
[01:15:36] Unknown:
you know, found its way onto a, a dialogue between leaders. It was a mistake. I'm sure he'll regret it. I'm sure he's gonna be hyper cautious next time, but give him a pass. The guy just started.
[01:15:49] Unknown:
I I fail to see what the big deal is. I I mean, they're discussing among themselves. This is not going to lead to the apocalypse. And, a mistake was made. It'll be corrected. But frankly, most Americans don't care. And I'm joined now by Republican congressman Mike Turner, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who has already called this very Intelligence
[01:16:09] Unknown:
Committee, who has already called this very concerning. You heard what your colleagues on
[01:16:14] Unknown:
the Hill were saying. Is it a big deal? Well, Martha, thank you for having me. Well, first off, this was a very successful operations, and there were no consequences. The operation itself was not impacted, but oversight is working. The Senate Armed Services Committee, on a bipartisan basis, requested an inspector general investigation into this matter, the use of signal, and to the issue of whether or not classified information, was used, the source of the information in the signal discussion. And and that's very important because it goes to really the the heart of the source of the information and really the inconsistency across agencies
[01:16:52] Unknown:
as to the use of signal and the appropriateness of the use of signal. So so let me ask you specifically what I asked senator Warner. Do you think this some of those messages, particularly ones PTAC sent were classified.
[01:17:05] Unknown:
Well, clearly, the subject matter that's being discussed, the status of ongoing military operations, should be, and considered classified information. And the and it's surprising to find it in an unclassified manner. To find it in this way is is surprising.
[01:17:24] Unknown:
It is not, however, war plans, and it'll the Atlantic and and Goldberg But is that sort of a word game in a way? They were attack plans. I mean, they said when the he he said when the f eighteens would launch.
[01:17:37] Unknown:
So is that, you know, war plans, attack plans? They were really attack plans. You know, they were they were on discussions of ongoing military operations. But in that, the Atlantic and Goldberg really did oversell. They really did lose, some some credibility. But beyond that, it does go to the issue of whether or not, you know, the White House has said that there was no, classified information being discussed, and I think it is surprising people are struggling with the information that's there because this information really has at its roots a classified
[01:18:05] Unknown:
content. So so you would say it is classified.
[01:18:08] Unknown:
I would say that the White House perhaps is being legalistic and that the the individuals that are discussing this information certainly have the ability to declassify the information, and as they made the decision to enter into a declassified conversation, it was perhaps declassified. And that's something I think Why is it by Gagstaff? Perhaps, and that goes to the issue of the of perhaps what we're going to see in this inspector general investigation that the senate, armed services committee has requested. They've actually asked both the to look into the the use of signal across agencies, but also the source of this information.
Was this information when it was given to the individuals classified in its in its nature? How was it given to them? And then what decisions were made? Because it also goes to the issue of judgment. Was it classified when it was given to them? Did they declassify it? But also, you know, what decisions were made? Should it have been used to them? Possible. So you're saying it is possible
[01:19:05] Unknown:
that P TECH sets when he wrote those messages, it was classified, and then since he said, oh, it's not classified in everyone else, it had been declassified.
[01:19:17] Unknown:
It he would been within his authority. It's something the inspector general will look at. It also goes to the issue of of judgment. Should this have been discussed in a signal content? Now the So,
[01:19:33] Unknown:
again, it it it goes back to if this was classified information, why did Jeffrey Goldberg publish it, and why has there not been any kind of, fallout to that? Alright. And then, the last clip I wanna play for you in this whole thing is, from, Scott Jennings in on CNN. And, as you know, I'm a I'm a fan of Scott Jennings. I'm amazed that that CNN still hired still keeps him on staff and actually gave him a contract extension, because he's he's like the sole voice of reason on, on CNN. But, here here's what, here's what, Scott Jennings had to say.
[01:20:12] Unknown:
If you're if you're trying to assess, what should we do about it? I hear Democrats arguing, well, we should fire Pete Heksev, we should fire national security adviser. The bar for firing people like this is really high from the last administration when after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was a disaster, people died. No accountability was meted out. After the drone strike that vaporized those poor kids and that family, no accountability. After the Secretary of Defense went AWOL, no accountability. So if you're arguing today that we should get rid of Pete Hegseth over a small mistake regarding communications, even while he was expertly executing this military operation against the Houthi rebels, which also the Biden administration didn't take up. I just I don't have I don't have a lot of time for that argument today, and neither does most Republicans.
[01:20:57] Unknown:
The the problem here is that, Pete Hegseth has taken no accountability. He's bashed the reporter. He's called it a hoax. He's done everything but say, hey. I made a mistake by putting this information in the signal chat. You mentioned secretary Austin. He stood at the podium for an hour and took accountability. He asked for a thirty day review of the hospitalization.
[01:21:18] Unknown:
He asked for an inspector Did a single Democrat ask for his resignation? Scott, if I may Did a single Democrat, not one. I am so glad to hear you say that this was a mistake. We have not heard a single member of the Trump administration say that this was a mistake. Trump did. We need leadership. Trump did. We need leaders who step up, who own their mistakes. Trump did. Clear plans because what I'm hearing on the ground from actual constituents is that this is a sign of the carelessness of this administration who can't even protect national security details. What about our personal details? I wanted
[01:21:49] Unknown:
So that's where we're gonna end it right there. But I think I think Scott Jennings did a did a fine job in, in in in basically dismantling the argument, that that there should be firings. I I think he's spot on. There should not be firings. No one deserves to be fired over this, especially since, as he said, you know, the bar was set so low, with the previous administration. But, I think, folks, I think we're gonna call it quits here. We're closing up on the ninety minute mark, and, again, I I apologize we went over, the hour again.

[00:00:33] Unknown:
Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and political correctness takes a vaccine.
[00:01:01] Unknown:
Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello, and it is great to be with you once again on another week here from the Asylum Studios, bringing you the best quality political talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. This is the podcast. The more I hear it, the more I like it. It's a good choice, I think. Well, folks, how are you doing? How was your weekend? It's Monday already. Can you believe that? Everything here went by so fast this week this weekend. Had a ton of things going on, and I got almost none of it accomplished. So I don't know. It was it was just one of those it was just one of those weekends.
So, as you guys you got I don't know if you remember or not, but I I I had told you guys last week that, last Sunday, a week ago Sunday, not this Sunday yesterday, but a week ago, I had had a little accident here at at at the house, and, I spilled some some boiling water. It was either the water landed on me or landed on Charlie, and we didn't want it to land on Charlie, of course. You know? So, so the hot water landed on my foot, and I wasn't wearing shoes. I just had socks on, and and, of course, you know, the boiling water saturated the sock and, you know, it was either drop the the whole pot of water and, you know, get it all over the place, and more including more on myself and probably on on Charlie or Bean, but so instead of letting it go, I just struggle my way over to the sink, and I put it in the sink and pulled the sock off, and, of course, you know, the burn was already there, and, you know, I messed up my foot pretty bad. So, I ended up missing the whole week at the regular job, went back on Friday for a couple hours, and then, and then this weekend, I just needed to kinda stay off it for a little bit because it swelled up really bad. It was just, like, just nasty looking thing. So, I'm kind of amazed by it actually. It's just, you know, watching the healing process on this thing is is, like, crazy.
But, so it so I spent the weekend basically, you know, feet up, not really doing much of anything like that. Watched a bunch of really weird movies. I I'll tell you. I got I don't know if you guys watch Tubi or anything like that, but Tubi has some of the strangest movies ever. And, I I got some I I I downloaded, like, a bunch of movies from Tubi, and I sat there and I watched those things. And, I I love the old, like, nineteen seventies, horror flicks, you know, all those, like, those devil worship kind of movies and stuff like that, really stupid things. But, but I've been watching those things, and and, I I I kinda got into some other movies also, older movies.
I think I I watched was it yesterday? I watched, The Fall of the House of Usher from 1928, so a silent movie. And, of course, it was in French. You know, the the, the subtitle or the, the title cards, were in French, so I really couldn't follow along too well. But I did the best I could, you know, but, it was it was interesting. Wasn't bad, actually. It was pretty good. It had some pretty innovative, very avant garde kind of things, but I guess, you know, that's the twenties. So but, really enjoyed that, and, and and just be able to spend the time with with the kids like that was was kinda nice. But, I did actually I I downloaded, a movie called The Damned, which came out, about a year or so ago, and, really interesting movie. Kinda it it it built itself as more scary than than than it was.
For me, it was just very tense to watch, so I I I watched that on, on, Saturday night, and very good, very well done movie. I I I really did enjoy it. Again, very tense, stylistic. It was beautiful to watch. The special effects, the graphic were fantastic, and, I I think I still have access to it for another for another day. So I'm gonna I'm gonna watch it again probably, tonight, or or, you know, I'll try to do it tonight. If not, then I'll just have to get it again some other time. But, great movie. It was and, basically, it it was, I I forget where it was set, but, basically, it was it was it was winter on this island where, they they would go fishing from, and, there was a shipwreck, and they had to go out and and, and they couldn't go out to to to rescue anybody until the next day. And then when they finally went out, they were expecting, you know, to find, you know, dead people and, you know, less stuff, and instead they found they were they they found people that were alive, and and they tried to capsize the boat and and the whole big thing, and people ended up getting killed.
And then, the the the fisherman from the island, ended up getting haunted by these ghosts, and, it was, like I said, really well done. Very tense, not scary per se, but very tense. I recommend it. Check it out. It's It's called The Damned. I think it's on I I I saw it on on Google Play, but, I'm sure you could find it elsewhere as well, but definitely need to check that one out. That was pretty good. So that's pretty much what I did over the weekend, and, you know, of course, I spent some time, you know, reading up on what's going on around the world and, news and all that fun stuff. And, you know, so you you you watch some of the stuff that goes on, in the in the world here today, and and, man, it can get depressing. It it really can when you and you just look at all the stuff that's going on. But, but, hey. You know? That's that's the world we live in. We gotta just try to understand it and work our way through it. But, but, again, just had a great weekend. I I I thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt really well rested. Went back to work today for the for for a full day, and, got some swelling going on right now, but, yeah, it's it's alright. It's manageable.
And, I think I think we should be we should be fine. But, got also went through a lot of news today. Got a lot of stories that, I wanted to cover, but I'm not going to because, I know I keep on I keep on saying it, but we're gonna try to keep it to an hour. Try is the emphasis here. Try. I just, I I just tend to bloviate a little bit, so, don't know when to shut up sometimes. But, hey. You know? That's just I guess that's the Italian in me, you know? I just always talking with the hands here, they're flying all over the place, and that's why I'm using the boom again because I keep on knocking into it. I tried to use one of those low profile mics. Mic booms here. And, when I was playing around with it, I kept on knocking into it with my hands and all that stuff, and I had the other one here directly in front of me and kept on smacking into that thing too. The only thing I don't really hit very often is the boom.
And, we're trying out the, the SMB seven tonight. I'm gonna play with this one for a little while. And then, I got some new stuff on the way that we're gonna be doing some cabling here and try to clean it up a little bit, make it look a little bit better. But, well, my end anyway, you can't see the rest of it. That's all around me, but it's a mess. But, hey, that's what that's what it's all about. Alright. So, with all that chitchat, done there, let's, what do you say we go into some, some of the housekeeping stuff? As always, just head over to the website, joeroos.com.
That's joeroos.com. Sorry. I got a little frog there. Put it up on the screen. Joeroos.com. Little ticker across the bottom.

Also, if you could, look for that, support button on our website as well. And just to remind you that this is a value for value podcast. And all that basically means is that if you have received anything of value from what we've been doing here for the last, 47 episodes. Wow. 47 episodes already. I can't believe this is episode 48. Can't believe that. I know I'm going off the subject again, but, you know, when we first started this thing, it was recording it once a week. It it actually started off as recording a show on audio only whenever we felt like doing it. Then it became, well, we'll we'll we'll try, you know, to do two shows in a week and but recording it, you know, and and all that stuff. And then next thing you know, we're doing live audio shows twice a week, and then we, got into the video side of it. Now it's, you know, doing three to five shows a week on video, live video and live audio, and takes up a lot of my time, but it's fun. I enjoy it. I like being with you guys. So, I digress.
So where were we? Oh, support. Yes. Yes. Very important. So value for value, if you've received any value from what we've been doing here, all we're asking is that you return that value to us in the form of a donation in any amount whatsoever. If you want to really help us out, we would appreciate a, we would appreciate you signing up for one of the, producer tiers that we have. So we have, for $17.76 per month, you have the associate producer tier or the or where you get credit as an associate producer of the show. For a monthly recurring donation of $18.36, you get, the producer's credit.
And then for a, recurring monthly donation of $25 or more, you get the executive producer's credit. Now, all three have the same basic, benefits where you get included in all of our show notes, you get a shout out on every show, and, you get included in all the emails, everything that we send out. But as an executive producer, you get an added benefit of being able to schedule a segment with us live on the show, at some point, and, you know, have your your input here in in some of the subjects that we're talking about and get get yourself introduced to the audience. And, you know, it it it's a lot of fun. We did it with with, our executive producer Wayne a a few weeks ago. That was a lot of fun. We enjoyed that immensely, and, looking forward to have him coming on again very, very soon. And, so that's, that that's a that's a perk that that's only available to the executive producers here.
Alright. So, any amount donation, greatly appreciated, you know, as a one time donation, or you could do an, you could do a recurring donation in any amount as well. That's that's up to you. But if you want the credits, it's $17.76 per month, eighteen thirty six per month, and $25 or more per month. So whichever one best suits you, that's the one you should go for. We also, are looking to increase donations as far as cryptocurrencies go, so you could also donate Satoshis to our wallet on our support page as well. Satoshis is just some, micropayment of Bitcoin. Really pennies when you when you consider it.

Just click on the wallet on our website, and, you could just make a donation through that. Or if you're listening on any of the modern podcast apps, the audio only, feeds, you can make donations as boosts or send boost grams and, little comments here or there, and, we would really, really appreciate that.

I take a number of the supplements that, the Alex Jones store has on hand, and, like Irish sea moss, turmeric, the atomic defense, optimal human, the Shilajit, is great. So and, they have a new product out called, methylene blue. So, which is just I haven't tried it yet, but from everything that I've read and looked at and and and and kinda gone over the the information on it, this stuff is pretty good, especially since that, the Alex Jones store gets it from, from a very well known reputable lab, and it's, it's USP level, grade. It's, US pharmacopoeia, you know, pharmaceutical grade, supplement. So definitely check it out. Alright.

Alright. So with all of that said, I think it's time for us to basically say, goodbye to the folks on YouTube, on x, and on Twitch, and hopefully, we'll see you over on Rumble. Take care.
Alright. I think we are officially disconnected from everybody over there. Let's grab some coffee. And, that should just about get rid of all that. And, of course, my nose is starting to run now, but that's okay. Alright. Well, like I said earlier, we have a a lot of stuff that we wanna cover. Can't tell you how many how many video clips do we have? Not not not so many. Only have 14. 14 long ones. So but we're gonna try to keep it to the hour. Okay? Maybe an hour and twenty. Hour and ten? Thirty? I don't know. We'll see. Alright. Well, with, with all of that, how about we get
[00:17:11] Unknown:
to the news?
[00:17:16] Unknown:
Alright. Let's see. I wanted to start with this one tonight because this is really important. So right now, what's what's going on, Elon Musk is out in Wisconsin. There's a very important, race going on out there, and it has the potential oh, I just hit my foot. It has the potential to affect the balance of power in the house. Alright? What the Democrats are trying to do, and they're not doing it, they're not doing it, on the sly either. They're they're pretty out in the open about it. What they're trying to do here is, how do I put it?
They're trying they're trying they're trying to get the they're trying to get this judgeship, for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and, in doing that, they'll be able to redraw districts, and by redrawing the districts, they'll be able to gain seats in the house, which would close the gap on that already, slim Republican margin, lead that the Republicans have. And and should that happen and there's also a race going on right now in Florida, to for two seats in Florida, I believe it is, and they have the Democratic party has been pouring money in it's like 10 to one, for for the amount of money that they've been pouring into these into these races.
One of the seats is a, pretty much a Republican stronghold, and that's, I think it's District 1, which is Matt Getz, former district, and then there's also, I think, it's District 6 in Florida, which is, for, Mike Walls, who is now the NSA, for the administration. So, those are two empty seats that the Democrats are really pouring a lot of money into, just like this, Supreme Court seat in, this in Wisconsin, the state of Wisconsin. So, Elon Musk has been out there, and he's been basically campaigning for, for for these seats and and to and to protect the this majority that that the Republican party has.
So, he held a, a a, like a like a like a rally, basically. And what he did was let me let me do this, really quickly before we get into that. So folks, just wanna tell you a little bit about 1775 coffee. Okay? Seventeen seventy five coffee. Wheat coffee is for the weak, and at rumble, weak has never been part of the mission. No fillers, no fraud, and no settling for mediocrity just like seventeen seventy five coffee. It's a single origin, small farm, handpicked, specialty grade coffee that stands for quality, free speech, and calling out the BS when it matters. Forget the stale, mass produced beans roasted just enough to hide the flaws. Dark roast hits like a hits like a Trump tariff.
Medium roast keeps it bold without the bitterness and vitality mushroom blend, real energy and lasting focus, no synthetic garbage. For cake cup for cake cup pods, whole bean, or fresh ground coffee, just head over to 1775coffee.com. Use code studio for 15% off, and start your morning with coffee that stands for something. Oh, and by the way, every dollar that that's spent enters you into enters you into a contest to win a Cybertruck and $30,000 in cash. So 1775coffee.com. That's 1775coffee.com. Alright. So Elon Musk and Doge hit the road and, at this at this little rally they held going on here, Elon Musk basically confirms, widespread voter fraud as millions. Now this is important. Alright? Because this matters.
This really matters. Widespread voter fraud, millions of non citizens get access to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box. Think about that. Non citizens getting access to the to Social Security, Medicaid, and the ballot box, and millions refer to DHS for illegal voting prosecutions. Alright. So, billionaire and entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery one hundred minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaign for conservative judge Brad Schimmel in the state's upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday. So that's tomorrow. So, folks, if you are in Wisconsin and you're listening to the show, you're watching the show, and I'm I'm hoping that somebody is, tomorrow is a very important election.
This is not something you can have you can sit on your hands about. You need to get out there, and you need to vote. Alright? This is, and I know it's an off season kind of election. It's an off season, it's not your normal election day, but this is very important because as I was saying earlier, you, we can easily lose the Republican majority in the house, and then at the midterms, and then you know what that would bring? If we lost the majority at the house, you're talking about an obstructionist Democratic led congress, Democrat obstructionist led committees and committee chairs, You're talking about endless investigations, not that I think there's really anything need to be needs to be investigated at this particular point. I think this administration has been the most transparent administration that I've ever seen in my life, but there will be countless and endless investigations, and you know you know for a fact that they're going to try to impeach Donald Trump again.
So there and and, of course, going through all of that is gonna be wasting more and more taxpayer dollars, plus, like I said, being obstructionists, all of the good stuff that's been going on with this administration since day one comes to an end. So it's extremely important that we're that you're out there and you're voting. It's extremely important that you're going to be, getting to the polls and bringing people to the polls with you. You know, bring bring three or four people with you. Every vote here matters. Just like just like it was important to get out and vote for for president Trump, it's important to get out and vote now.
We have to protect these seats in Florida, and we have to keep control of this, this, this, Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. Remember, the Democrats are outspending the Republicans right now. The Democratic Party is outspending the outspending GOP ten to one. You have Bernie Sanders supporting, I I man, I just forgot the guy's name that's running in Matt Getz's spot. But you have Bernie Sanders out there supporting the the Democratic candidate, and, you know, it this is this is very this is a an incredibly important election. And I know we all say every election's an important election. Oh, this is the most important election of our lifetime. Well, in a lot of ways it is, and I'm and I know people are tired of of the the the onslaught of of just, you know, you gotta get involved, you gotta vote, you gotta vote, you gotta you know, having politics thrown in your faces.
People just wanna be left alone. You know, people are just at the point now, like, Alex, I'm like that too. You know, I just I just wanna be left. I don't wanna I don't care about the government sometimes. You know? I just I don't care. Just whatever. Just but you have to care. You have to get involved. You have to stay involved, especially in these off season elections, these special elections. Gotta get out there and vote. So Florida, you gotta get out and vote. Wisconsin, tomorrow, you've gotta get out and vote. We gotta hold the majority. Otherwise, we're looking at just endless investigations, obstructionists, impeachment, all that stuff for the for the for the final two years of Donald Trump's second term, and all the good work that has take already taken place is gonna get thrown out the window.
There's a lot riding on this. There's a lot riding on it, so please get out and vote. Please do it. Anyway, back to, our piece here. Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency team, tasked with rooting out waste at the federal government. Musk unveiled a shocking chart, a dramatic spike in Social Security numbers issued to noncitizens soaring from 270,000 in 02/2021 to a mind blowing 2,100,000 in 02/2024. So in three years, it went from 270,000 to 2,100,000 social security numbers issued to non citizens.
So basically that that's that's like 5,000,000 non citizens embedded in the system now collecting benefits,
[00:27:35] Unknown:
your taxpayer dollars,
[00:27:40] Unknown:
and probably even more important than all of it, the voter rolls. So I have a clip here. Our first one of the night. It's a it's a long one. It's about six minutes, but but it's important I need you to hear the whole thing. Okay? So stay with us.
[00:27:59] Unknown:
And then you'll notice there's a strange trend here, where, how many Social Security numbers were issued?
[00:28:09] Unknown:
It it's do do you wanna Yeah. So let let me, let me tell what happened here. We we started at the top of the system. You wanna talk about a lot of people. We started at the top of the system mapping the whole system of Social Security to understand where all the fraud was. And there's a lot of great people there that showed us, really a lot of waste. And so that came with a big list of stuff they're working on. You've heard some of that already, but this is what jumped out at us. When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this? In '21, you see 270,000, people goes all the way to 2,100,000 in '24.
These are noncitizens that are getting Social Security numbers. Yeah. This this is a mind blowing charge. Yeah. Just this this literally blew us away. Like, we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident. And this isn't political, by the way. My parents are immigrants. Yeah. This country has been great to us. My brothers and sisters are all born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is not this is not political. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed us in this direction. I wanna I wanna honor them right now, that work in the government today, who took risk to show us these numbers and tell us what's going on.
Yeah. So I wanna stop for a minute. I wanna tell I wanna honor those people today.
[00:29:26] Unknown:
Very good people. Very good people.
[00:29:29] Unknown:
I have been from DC to Social Security offices to the border to track this down, and very good people have helped us along the way. I wanna thank them. Yeah. This number, what this is, is when you come in the country, if you're illegal, there's a couple of ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid. You'll get a they'll give you a silent a silent case. You get an interview, then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally, this happened. I talked to border patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo, and I went to Bronzeville. Elon went to Eagle Pass.
You walk up to a border patrol officer, and you tell him you wanna come in. They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or felony under thirteen twenty five, or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket basically. They were told to do that, make an administrative offense on the last administration. And then you go walk across the border, they, do what's called a, release in your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, notice to appear, which appear to judge. The wait times on judges are like average six years. Look at Garak, you'll see it on immigration judges. There's only 700 of them. This is 5,500,000 people. K? So what happens then? Once you're in the country and you've got asylum through one of these pathways, we've mapped the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document.
You file a seven six five. It's the work form. You get this form called the seven six six. That's the authorization. And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number. No interview.
[00:31:06] Unknown:
No ID. This is worth, like, just reiterating. It it it's not that it's not people sometimes think that under the Biden administration that that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn't asleep. They were asleep at the switch. It it it was a massive large scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of The United States and disenfranchise the the American people and make it a permanent deep blue one party state from which there would be no escape?
[00:31:34] Unknown:
Look. If I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure I'd believed it. I went through it myself and mapped it. And Yolanda is right. This is true. The defaults in the system from social security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people and minimum collection. That's what's happening. We found one point three million of them already on Medicaid as an example. We've gone through on every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, this 5,500,000 people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why. We're asking ourselves why.
And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote in this population. Yes. And who did vote? And and we found some by sampling that actually did vote, and we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service Yeah. Already. Already. That is already happening right now. Yeah. And the truly disturbing thing, though, I just want you to know this, a truly disturbing thing to me and the darkest thing about this to me, the voter fraud is terrible, but the human tragedy this created is extraordinary. Because what you don't understand, and people don't know, and Americans need to know, that's why I'm here, is that human traffickers made 13 to $15,000,000,000 off of this.
Okay? That's the money that's going around the world. Moving people around the world to our borders because of these incentives. How does it work? What happens? Hey. If you're in Africa and you're in South America, you gotta walk up through Mexico. If you're in South America, who do you pay? You pay the narcos. You pay the traffickers. Right? And we found we were told by ICE, it's between 20,000 and $500 to pendulum pick you up to walk across all those countries and get all the way up to the border. Where does that money goes? It goes to the cartels.
It goes to human traffickers. Right? There are 30,000 children that have not appeared on the notice to appear already. ICE knows this. 30,000 children. 270,000 children didn't even get notices to appear. ICE told us that kids are being trafficked back and forth across the border to complete families to make this easier. This is a human tragedy. It's not just the money. It's the people and the kids. And how many of these people died on the way up here that didn't make it in? What happened to them? We created this system here that created a descendant for people to come and be taking advantage of by these traffickers. And how do you think they get paid? Well, you're an African American, you got $20,000 or $10,000 or $5,000 to pay these traffickers? No, you don't. What happens? You come in, then you owe them the money. You're indentured servant.
If you don't pay them, what happens? What do they do? They kill your mother, they kill your brother, they kill your family. What happens next? That's what we discovered. And I have to tell you, it was it's tragic to me. The tragedy the human tragedy this created is extraordinary. That's the real problem. This is America. We don't do this here in America. Yeah. We don't do this here in America.
[00:34:40] Unknown:
Now just now just think about this. First of all, that's that's unbelievable amount of money that's getting traffic through. $15,000,000,000. That's one thing. Another thing is over a million are receiving benefits, maxed out benefits, that you, me, your grandparents, your parents paid into a system and basically get peanuts peanuts compared to what the illegals are getting. And think of it like this also. If the Democrats get control again, all of this will continue and only get worse. It it will continue and only get worse. Now aside from stealing elections or trying to circumvent the will of the people by by redistricting maps like they're gonna try to do in in, Wisconsin, should they should they win the Supreme Court seat?
They, of course, resort to what? They resort to civil unrest. They they resort to violence. Elon Musk was also talking about, death threats that that he's been dealing with.
[00:36:52] Unknown:
It's it's a super it's a super big deal. And and the the fact that I'm here in person like, I'm not voting it in. I'm here in person. I'm and they're yeah. And there there were quite a few death threats, I have to tell you. I was like, my security team said said, well, it's it's actually gone down from yesterday to today. We're down from 18,000 to 17,000. So I'm like, oh, maybe it's getting better. You know? But you can see, like, is it how crazy some of these people are. You know, like like at the the the two, sort of people that tried to assassinate president Trump. You know? I mean, that was and what you know, they both almost succeeded.
So it's it's real. Like, it's not like some imaginary thing. So anyway so what what we're announcing is is kind of like a
[00:37:54] Unknown:
Alright. So and I'm sorry about the audio there if that was one-sided. Yeah. I don't know what happened. My, suddenly heard it on one side of my headset. So, the left is violent. The left is crazed, if I could use that term. And, of course, you know, we see it's not just against, men like Elon Musk and and president Trump who you know, a guy like Elon Musk can afford, you know, the best security, you know, he could his money could buy, you know, and and president Trump, of course, has, the US Secret Service, not not well, now, I guess, I I I would feel more I feel more comfortable with the Secret Service, but, you know, a little touch and go there for a little bit.
But what about what about everyday Americans? The everyday person. Because, you know, it's not it's not just happening here in The United States where where where people are getting, assaulted and and their cars vandalized and and dealerships being burned. It's it's it's spreading around the world. And that's that's to tell you how organized this whole thing is. This is these aren't just organic, you know, grassroots, you know, pop up things. They're this is something that's being coordinated and organized. But, what I was thinking of today too was and and I saw this, this is this is horrible.
A 61 year old woman driving a Tesla gets boxed in by an by a male driver who then jumps out of his vehicle and proceeds to beat her until until the the the passenger, in his car gets out and comes to get him. Take a look at this.
[00:39:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Both of these victims have had their Teslas for years long before Elon Musk ever got into politics, but that's not stopping people from coming after them. One woman we spoke to was just driving down the road when all of a sudden an angry driver cut her off, got out of the vehicle, and assaulted her, and the whole thing was caught on camera. We've seen the violence building in cities across the country. Tesla vehicles set on fire in Las Vegas, Graffiti on Tesla cars in Colorado. A man caught on camera keying a model x in Dallas. And now Tesla owners under attack in Arizona.
[00:40:34] Unknown:
I'm just appalled. I I didn't buy my car for a political statement. I I bought my car because it's really fun to drive, and, my politics have nothing to do with that. And I'm I'm just I'm ashamed of our society
[00:40:50] Unknown:
and what they're doing. This is video of a Tesla attack in Flagstaff last week. It shows a green car pulling up next to a Tesla on busy Route 66, then swerving in front to box the vehicle in. The driver then walks over to the 61 year old woman in the Tesla and reportedly starts hitting her while she's behind the wheel.
[00:41:10] Unknown:
I started to say, you cut me off. What's your problem? But I don't know how much of that got out, and he started to punch me with a a closed fist.
[00:41:20] Unknown:
At one point, the victim who wants to hide her identity says she bit the man's hand. Moments later, the passenger of the green car appears to walk over and pull the attacker away. They finally get back in their car and drive off. The incident is among the latest attacks on Arizona Tesla drivers being targeted because of the car they drive. We also spoke to a woman who told us she left a grocery store in Flagstaff recently and found a note on her car that said, when she's a Nazi and a loser. A few weeks later, she received a threatening text calling her a racist POS.
[00:41:56] Unknown:
It's wrong. It's deplorable, and I think they're just they're just hurting people. They're not really hurting a company or Tesla.
[00:42:06] Unknown:
Both of the Tesla owners targeted have recently signed up for a gun safety course at a gun range north of Flagstaff.
[00:42:12] Unknown:
They were targeted because they drove a Tesla, and as a result of that felt quite vulnerable. They were surprised that someone would actually do something like that and realize that if they are doing it, and they're targeting them because of the car they drive, that they needed to take some additional measures to help protect themselves.
[00:42:31] Unknown:
Now the man accused of assaulting that woman in her Tesla has been cited and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. We've also learned that a takedown Tesla campaign will kick into high gear this weekend with more than 200 protests planned at Tesla dealerships around the world. Several of those protests are planned here in the valley. Whether they remain peaceful, we'll let you know. Reporting live in Phoenix, Jason Barry for Arizona's family.
[00:42:59] Unknown:
So do do you see what I what I'm talking about? The left, they're unhinged. They're they're and and, again, liberalism is a mental illness. It truly truly is. And what about this one? Florida woman charged with felony after allegedly vandalizing a Tesla with chewing gum. This woman, Florida woman, has been charged with a felony. Chewing gum a large water chewing gum causing nearly $3,000 in damage. Yamaris Moreira was charged with felony criminal mischief following the incident, which occurred in the parking lot of Aventura Mall in Miami Dade County according to local ten news. The damage amounted to $2,623.66, reportedly affected the car door's handle mechanism the actors captured on the on the electric vehicle's, built in cameras.
The owner of the Tesla told Local ten News that he believed he was targeted due to, unfortunately, a divide in our country where certain views that are not accepted by, where certain views that are not accepted by a subset referencing Tesla and, support for Donald Trump and his role in, and and Musk for, his role in in Doge. Marrero was spotted by a security guard inside the mall's food court, leading officers to take him into custody. She admitted to her actions that her admission was redacted in the publicly released statement. I mean I mean, folks, come on.
Liberal Liberals are freaking nuts. They are all completely triggered. They don't have an argument. They can't win on or they they can't win on the issues. So what do they they resort to violence. They resort to vandalism. They they resort to destruction of of, of, private property. Think we have a video playing that shouldn't be. So if we do, yes. Okay. Alright. And then and then and what else? Well, we also have we also have the,
[00:45:51] Unknown:
the,
[00:45:54] Unknown:
the GOP headquarters in, New Mexico, in Albuquerque, torched. A deliberate arson attack. And then on, on the wall of the building, they they spray painted ice equals KKK. Let me see where is it. There you go. Okay. So here, this is, DC Draino, on x. Posted this. I received exclusive photos from the New Mexico GOP showing that their HQ in Albuquerque was firebombed last night. This was a deliberate act of domestic terrorism. The culprit spray painted ice equals KKK. You could see it there on the right. Anyone else said that the federal crackdown begin?
So the Albuquerque fire department said that they were dispatched, to a call right before 6AM and said the fire was brought under control within five minutes of the crew's arrival. The structure suffered damage to the front entryway, smoke damage throughout the building. The Republican Party of New Mexico has since slammed the horrific attack, adding the incident is part of a disturbing pattern of politically motivated violence that has plagued our country fueled in part by the silence and the implicit encouragement from progressive leaders who refuse to condemn these acts. And, yeah. That's that's exactly right. That is exactly right.
But then they're not gonna condemn the acts because they they want these things. They they're looking for this type of civil unrest. How many times have we heard Maxine you know, mad Maxine Waters, screaming and shrieking from from her, from her podium about, you know, starting a civil war? This is what they want, and they're waiting for that one moment when when it when it really hits the fan and someone gets hurt on the left, and then they'll start screaming for civil war. It's inevitable. I hate to say that, but it is. It's inevitable. Early this morning, this is, the Republican Party of New Mexico, deliberate arson targets GOP headquarters in Albuquerque.
Early this morning, the entryway of the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson, which also included spray painting the words ice equals KKK, and this was posted to report the, the incident. Now there's also a New Mexico, congresswoman named, Teresa Leger Fernandez who was called out by, Stephanie Ford, who's a a a representative for, New Mexico. She called her out for telling her followers to agitate. Just yesterday, Teresa, Legor Fernandez used inflammatory language during her speech in Santa Fe. Said, lord, we have a three pronged project. Legislate, litigate, agitate. You guys are part of the agitate. And then representative John Block said yesterday, Teresa for NM told her radical followers to agitate. This morning, the Mexico GOP headquarters was firebombed. Coincidence? No. Her loyal followers also continue to attack Tesla's at dealerships on tribal lands.
This is the modern day left, folks. This is this is the modern day left. And then what about this little gem? How many of you guys use Jackson Hewitt to get your taxes done? I've never used them. You know, I I've seen ads for them all over the place, but I've never used Jackson Hewitt. And, after this, I will not use them ever or even think about using them ever. Jackson Hewitt Tax Services allegedly caught handing out tax filing instructions to illegal immigrants. With tax day a little more than two weeks away, Jackson Hewitt Tax Services has been caught handing out flyers in New York City, allegedly advising illegal immigrants on how to get up to $14,000 in tax refunds from the IRS.
Up to $14,000. Savannah Hernandez, did a did a a great piece on this. I saw it earlier, and, I'm gonna play a I'm gonna play a portion of it for you in in just a moment. But, I mean, folks, this has to this has to get you upset. This has to piss you off. According to independent journalist Savannah Hernandez, the company's representatives are handing out information outside the Roosevelt Hotel, migrant shelter with tax filing tips showing illegal aliens how they can get thousands of dollars from the IRS based on how many children they claim to have.
Hernandez presented a flyer that seems to inform migrants that they can get a $7,650 refund if they claim one child, 12,635 if they have two, and $14,002.55 for three. Now I don't know about you, but it seems like no matter how many, you know, how I mean, I I put zeros, you know, as far as withholding so that they take out as much as they can take out, and I still somehow owe almost every single year. Especially since my kids have grown and moved on, and I don't have dependents anymore like that, I have I basically owe almost every year, even though the federal takes out as much as they possibly can take out legally. And here, their their illegals are being told how to get money that should really be coming back to the American taxpayer.
Check this out.
[00:52:29] Unknown:
We do this stuff like this, like, in all the shelters and stuff. But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people
[00:52:35] Unknown:
by, you know, providing them with refunds, you know. This is Savannah Hernandez in front of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Now we wanted to come check-in on the migrant crisis. And as we were walking around, we saw a Jackson Hewitt table out here with an employee who was handing out this flyer. Now what this flyer says is working or not, file your taxes, and we can get the maximum refund for your family. And the, paper says that if you have one child, you can get over $7,000 in a refund. And if you have up to three children, you can get over 14,000. So the Jackson Hewitt employee who initially handed me this paper, after finding out I was a journalist, took the paper away. That's why this one's so dirty because a migrant ended up giving me another copy. And he stated that if he's put on camera and this goes out, that legal will have to get involved. We do this stuff like this, like, at all the shelters and stuff. Right? But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people by, you know, providing them with refunds. You know? So you guys are trying to help the migrants with their taxes then? Yes. To help them get refunds, help them get some money back from the government? Yes.
Okay. Well, thank you. No problem. Yeah. We're just gonna go check something.
[00:53:39] Unknown:
Can't put my footage.
[00:53:41] Unknown:
Can we, take one of your papers, though, just so we can kind of thank you.
[00:53:46] Unknown:
Actually, you should just take this one because this one has my office information.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
And so, therefore, legal would have to get involved. So that's fine. So just wanted to give you guys an idea of, again, what migrants have been told in New York City. Now that tax season is coming up, they are being given, official flyers from Jackson Hewitt themselves on how to file their taxes. You know, we have the Trump administration that is currently in office, and they been promising mass deportations. But in sanctuary cities like New York, where you've had over 200,000 illegal immigrants make their way to this area, the crisis is very much alive and well. Now this shelter behind me is actually set to close in June, but you have have another shelter that was just opened up in the Bronx with 2,200 beds specifically for single migrant men. So the crisis very much alive here in New York City that has already spent $7,000,000,000 on migrants over the last couple of years. Wanted to give you guys an update as of March 2025 where we're currently at with it.
[00:54:42] Unknown:
Now after she posted that on x, Elon Musk noted that this sort of fraud is costing American, America Billions Billions Of Dollars a year, and it's serving to attract illegals to the country. He said, quote, IRS refund fraud payments are one of several means used by the Democratic those stopping this. The Democratic Party is aiding and abetting fraudulent government payments to illegals in order to establish a permanent one party majority nationally just like they did in California. The more you look into it, the crazier it gets. Folks, I mean, I the the this is this is your money.
Your money that you work hard for, that the federal government is is just giving away to to anybody and everybody except the American people, who it rightfully belongs to. This is why I say over and over and over again that federal income taxes need to be abolished. The sixteenth amendment needs to be abolished. The IRS needs to be abolished. There should there there should not be a an income tax, an individual income tax, ever, because this is what it's used for. It's used to push a one party narrative. It's used to line the pockets of politicians and needs to stop.
I know that that president Trump talked about it on the campaign trail, haven't heard much about it since, but I would like to know where are we with this IRS stuff. Are we getting rid of the IRS or not? Are we waiting for the tariffs to, to fully, go into place before we make that final decision, that final call on that. And I know that the president can't just, you know, at the stroke of a panel, abolish these the the, you know, that that whole operation that and the and the amendment that was, fraudulently ratified.
Not even I can't even say ratified because it wasn't technically ratified because it needed 38 states only had 35. So it would take it literally an act of Congress to get rid of it, and now's the time to do it. You have the majority. But all this needs it this needs to stop. And, of course, you know, there there's more to do for Doge. Not gonna spend too much time on this, but, Elon Musk, according to the New York Post, Elon Musk reveals those new target members of congress who who got strangely wealthy. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the at at, Doge will investigate how certain members of congress have achieved generational wealth.
One attendee at the town hall asked asked Musk if Doge had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development or USAID to, representative Maxine Waters, senator Adam Schiff, and senate minority leader Chuck Schumer. Musk's answer was, they'll the government send the money overseas to one NGO or nongovernmental organization, and then they'll go through a bunch of them. And then I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to The United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned. Now the average salary of of, a representative in Congress is about a hundred and 74,000 a year.
Two of the wealthiest people in Congress, house speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has a net worth of about $250,000,000, and Rick Scott, a Republican, at 552,000,000. Don't you kinda wonder where that came from? Now Pelosi, you know, her husband, he was a venture capitalist and, you know, they they have investments in in Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Netflix, all that stuff. But they also have access to information that you and I don't have so they can make some calculated moves and move their money around and it's called it's called insider trading if you and I do it. If they do it, it's legal.
Mike Scott's fortune comes from, his cofounding HCA Healthcare, Soltanic I'm sorry. Soltantic, which is an urgent care clinic chain. And, his work on that stuff all comes before he was in the senate. But how do they get $20,000,000 if they're earning 200,000 a year? Well, we're hoping that Doge figures that out, and they hope hopefully, they figure that out soon. Alright. We're just gonna I have a lot more that I wanna get to, but we're already over the hour. So I'm gonna I'm going to, I'm I'm gonna just talk about this here very briefly, and then and then we'll wrap it all up here. Alright. But, this whole thing about sing about signal, signal gate, and, I I know I said I I didn't wanna talk about it anymore because it's a nonissue. It's really it really is. It's it's it's really it's a nothing burger, to be honest with you, but the Democrats just won't seem to let it go. The media just won't seem to let it go.
And if you paid attention to the Sunday morning shows, like, I I watched some of them yesterday. If you if you watch any of the Sunday morning shows, this is pretty much what they talk about. I mean, again, like like I said, the this is really a nonissue. It's a it's an app that's authorized for government use. So in other words, they're allowed to use it. There's nothing that says they can't. There was nothing in there that was classified. There was nothing in there that is, that was mission critical. I mean, it was it it it it really wasn't. It it it you saw them. I I showed you the the the the the screenshots that Jeffrey Goldberg posted on the on in the Atlantic even though he said he wasn't going to journalistic integrity and all that stuff.
But even though no specifics were given, no troop movements were given, no dates, times, locations, names, anything like that was given, despite the fact that that the attack went off without a hitch. American service members were not put in any danger. ABC, CNN, MSNBC had hosts, guests, you name it, all talking about whether or not the information discussed in the signal group was classified information and what should happen to to the the the what should happen to the people involved in the chat. Again, not classified information. Again, nothing needs to happen to anybody.
No one needs to be fired. And I'll be in in all fairness, if if it was a Democrat administration and this happened, I would say the same thing because it's the facts. And facts, as John Adams has said, are stubborn things. So as I was looking at these Sunday morning shows, Martha Raditz, you know Martha, she she referred to this whole thing as, jaw dropping and and extraordinary national security breach. And then she went on to to accuse the administration of downplaying and deflecting and dismissing, you know, all the d's, the seriousness of the situation.
Let's take a look at Martha. Right here.
[01:04:49] Unknown:
It was a jaw dropping disclosure. That signal group thread where top administration officials discussed sensitive military plans in a group chat that included the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg inadvertently added to the group by national security adviser, Mike Waltz, who like the rest of the administration has tried mightily to brush the controversy aside. This week, the Trump administration downplaying, deflecting, and at times outright dismissing an extraordinary
[01:05:19] Unknown:
national security breach. There was no harm done because the attack was unbelievably successful that night. Nobody was texting
[01:05:27] Unknown:
war plans. The messages at the heart of the group chat on the commercial messaging app Signal contained detailed attack plans from defense secretary Hegseth two and a half hours before US forces launched air strikes on targets in Yemen. Team update, Hegseth wrote, weather is favorable. Just confirmed with CENTCOM, we are a go for mission launch. Hegseth then detailing the sequencing hour by hour. 12:15 e t, f eighteen's launch, first strike package. Thirteen forty five, f 18, first strike window starts. Target terrorist is at his known location so should be on time.
Also, strike drones launch, m q nines, more f eighteens launch, second strike package. Then telling the group that at fourteen fifteen, strike drones on target, adding this is when the first bombs will definitely drop. Hegseth still insisting that he did nothing wrong. There's no units,

But for this operation, there was only one plausible f 18 unit and only one plausible location, the USS Truman, a carrier in the Red Sea, which did indeed carry out the attacks.
[01:06:48] Unknown:
Thank you very much. We're heading off strike plan before they launch. Mister secretary, how do you square what you said with what your messages show? The chat group included vice president Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz,
[01:07:00] Unknown:
secretary of state Marco Rubio, director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA director, John Ratcliffe, among others. Throughout this week, the administration repeatedly claiming that no one shared any classified information in the group chat. There was no classified information as I understand it. Or as Marco Rubio did
[01:07:22] Unknown:
Obviously, someone made a mistake. Someone made a big mistake and added a journalist.
[01:07:27] Unknown:
Waltz did take responsibility for accidentally adding the reporter. I take full responsibility. I built the I built the group. But Pete Hankseth on an overseas trip this week has not changed his tune no matter what the question.
[01:07:42] Unknown:
I'm quite proud quite proud of what our forces in CENTCOM did on that initial series of very effective and devastating strikes.
[01:07:54] Unknown:
Okay. So they just showed you the same texts and the same messages that I showed you. Was there anything in there that would be that that in your estimation I mean, we're I think we're all pretty intelligent people. I think we can look at these things and and make a make a a judgment and assessment on ourselves. Did any of that look like it was classified information? And if it was classified information, how come Jeffrey Goldberg isn't being, questioned for releasing that classified information. Uh-huh. Because it's not classified. That's why. But then Martha went on and she brought on, senator Mark Warner, and, and this conversation took place.
[01:08:43] Unknown:
It was a jaw drop. And joining me now to talk about this is Democratic senator Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Good to see you, senator. Good morning. There have been very strong denials from the administration that there was anything classified. So quite simply, was this classified information or not?
[01:09:05] Unknown:
Absolutely. It was of such a nature when you were doing the actual battle plans and the timing and what type of aircraft are being sent out. If you had been a traditional military officer or a CIA caseworker and you were this sloppy and careless with this classified information,
[01:09:27] Unknown:
you would be fired. No doubt about it. So so let's talk about this. So they keep saying it was not classified. And what is the confusion there? Could Pete Seg Hegseth have since made it unclassified? What or do different agencies have different classifications?
[01:09:45] Unknown:
There is no question regardless of agency that this was classified. And the point, what I wish egg theft and those folks who are, obfuscating as giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think they're lying about that they should know this is classified. You think every person who says this is I think there is no question when you put out time and place. And I was yesterday down in Hampton Roads. I did two big town halls, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. There were people in the town hall who are either friends or relatives of folks who are on the Truman. The Truman is the aircraft carrier that's been deployed to the Mediterranean.
Those folks were saying if their friends or loved ones were flying those jets and that information had been released and the Houthis were able to change their defensive posture, we could have lost American lives, and folks in Hampton Roads know that. That's a big military community. It's a big military community because it it can it insults the intelligence of the American people when somebody says, oh, no. Nothing classified here. And remember, again, to add add to this, this is not a one off. In the first two weeks, they mistakenly gave up the information of about 200 CIA agents, their identities.
They can't be deployed now. They in in the subsequent thing, the Musk boys put out a list of properties. Included on that was the a classified spot, and then they printed the whole
[01:11:22] Unknown:
budget and headcount of another agency. These are all things that are evidence of the sloppy careless approach. I I I I wanna stick to this particular incident, and I wanna talk about the signal app in particular where this group chat started. This is what attorney general Pam Bondi told Fox News this week. Let's listen.
[01:11:43] Unknown:
I think signal's a very safe way to communicate. I don't think foreign adversaries are able to hack signals as far as I know.
[01:11:50] Unknown:
Is that true?
[01:11:52] Unknown:
Signal is safer than your normal cell phones. It is encrypted. But if miss Bondi had looked at any of the guidance from the intelligence community, which states explicitly, do not use signal for classified information. Do you use signal? I use signal to talk to someone because it is safer. I actually encourage people to use signal, but that still doesn't mean because it's safer, you can put classified information. Matter of fact, again, if miss Bondi knew anything about her job, she would know that we have reports of China and Russia both trying
[01:12:33] Unknown:
to break in the signal. So you you say you use it because it's safer. Mhmm. But what is it that you're talking about that you need to keep safe? I
[01:12:44] Unknown:
my personal conversations I'm sure your personal conversations. We know that after salt typhoon, China can penetrate any of those calls. So being on signal, smarter, yes. Is it able to put classified information? Absolutely not. And matter of fact, one of the things we've been asking, have we collected back the phones from these individuals to make sure there's not malware? The bad guys could put malware into your phone if they've got access even without touching it. And and we don't have information very quickly if you can. The the administration has
[01:13:20] Unknown:
been rightly very critical of the Biden administration on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, but they have also asked about accountability. There was no accountability really in that either. Listen. I thought that the
[01:13:34] Unknown:
withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster. I'm first to agree with that. We have a classic screw up right here. If there is no accountability, not only will the military and the intel people say, why aren't why are bosses not being held to a higher standard? And then our friends, you've already read in public reporting how upset the Israelis are based upon some of their information. But should there have been accountability for the Afghanistan? I think there should be accountability whenever there are screw ups of that nature or this nature.
[01:14:07] Unknown:
So, again, signals an authorized app, and he he pretty much confirmed that. They're trying to make this about classified information, and again, it's not classified information. There were no routes. There were no troop movements. There were no specific names or locations. There was nothing there, but yet that's the drum they're gonna keep beating because they they wanna keep this this whole narrative alive. They wanna try to make this they they want it to be a distraction from all the other stuff, the good stuff that this administration's accomplishing.
So, so Martha went on, and she had on, Mike Turner. Sorry. Couldn't remember his name. GOP rep Mike Turner who was, formerly the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and, this is, how that went. It's kind of a long I'm not gonna play the whole thing, but
[01:15:26] Unknown:
just get the idea. For the Republican reaction to the signal group, it has been mostly muted.
[01:15:32] Unknown:
I don't think anyone should have lost their job over that because an errant number,
[01:15:36] Unknown:
you know, found its way onto a, a dialogue between leaders. It was a mistake. I'm sure he'll regret it. I'm sure he's gonna be hyper cautious next time, but give him a pass. The guy just started.
[01:15:49] Unknown:
I I fail to see what the big deal is. I I mean, they're discussing among themselves. This is not going to lead to the apocalypse. And, a mistake was made. It'll be corrected. But frankly, most Americans don't care. And I'm joined now by Republican congressman Mike Turner, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who has already called this very Intelligence
[01:16:09] Unknown:
Committee, who has already called this very concerning. You heard what your colleagues on
[01:16:14] Unknown:
the Hill were saying. Is it a big deal? Well, Martha, thank you for having me. Well, first off, this was a very successful operations, and there were no consequences. The operation itself was not impacted, but oversight is working. The Senate Armed Services Committee, on a bipartisan basis, requested an inspector general investigation into this matter, the use of signal, and to the issue of whether or not classified information, was used, the source of the information in the signal discussion. And and that's very important because it goes to really the the heart of the source of the information and really the inconsistency across agencies
[01:16:52] Unknown:
as to the use of signal and the appropriateness of the use of signal. So so let me ask you specifically what I asked senator Warner. Do you think this some of those messages, particularly ones PTAC sent were classified.
[01:17:05] Unknown:
Well, clearly, the subject matter that's being discussed, the status of ongoing military operations, should be, and considered classified information. And the and it's surprising to find it in an unclassified manner. To find it in this way is is surprising.
[01:17:24] Unknown:
It is not, however, war plans, and it'll the Atlantic and and Goldberg But is that sort of a word game in a way? They were attack plans. I mean, they said when the he he said when the f eighteens would launch.
[01:17:37] Unknown:
So is that, you know, war plans, attack plans? They were really attack plans. You know, they were they were on discussions of ongoing military operations. But in that, the Atlantic and Goldberg really did oversell. They really did lose, some some credibility. But beyond that, it does go to the issue of whether or not, you know, the White House has said that there was no, classified information being discussed, and I think it is surprising people are struggling with the information that's there because this information really has at its roots a classified
[01:18:05] Unknown:
content. So so you would say it is classified.
[01:18:08] Unknown:
I would say that the White House perhaps is being legalistic and that the the individuals that are discussing this information certainly have the ability to declassify the information, and as they made the decision to enter into a declassified conversation, it was perhaps declassified. And that's something I think Why is it by Gagstaff? Perhaps, and that goes to the issue of the of perhaps what we're going to see in this inspector general investigation that the senate, armed services committee has requested. They've actually asked both the to look into the the use of signal across agencies, but also the source of this information.
Was this information when it was given to the individuals classified in its in its nature? How was it given to them? And then what decisions were made? Because it also goes to the issue of judgment. Was it classified when it was given to them? Did they declassify it? But also, you know, what decisions were made? Should it have been used to them? Possible. So you're saying it is possible
[01:19:05] Unknown:
that P TECH sets when he wrote those messages, it was classified, and then since he said, oh, it's not classified in everyone else, it had been declassified.
[01:19:17] Unknown:
It he would been within his authority. It's something the inspector general will look at. It also goes to the issue of of judgment. Should this have been discussed in a signal content? Now the So,
[01:19:33] Unknown:
again, it it it goes back to if this was classified information, why did Jeffrey Goldberg publish it, and why has there not been any kind of, fallout to that? Alright. And then, the last clip I wanna play for you in this whole thing is, from, Scott Jennings in on CNN. And, as you know, I'm a I'm a fan of Scott Jennings. I'm amazed that that CNN still hired still keeps him on staff and actually gave him a contract extension, because he's he's like the sole voice of reason on, on CNN. But, here here's what, here's what, Scott Jennings had to say.
[01:20:12] Unknown:
If you're if you're trying to assess, what should we do about it? I hear Democrats arguing, well, we should fire Pete Heksev, we should fire national security adviser. The bar for firing people like this is really high from the last administration when after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was a disaster, people died. No accountability was meted out. After the drone strike that vaporized those poor kids and that family, no accountability. After the Secretary of Defense went AWOL, no accountability. So if you're arguing today that we should get rid of Pete Hegseth over a small mistake regarding communications, even while he was expertly executing this military operation against the Houthi rebels, which also the Biden administration didn't take up. I just I don't have I don't have a lot of time for that argument today, and neither does most Republicans.
[01:20:57] Unknown:
The the problem here is that, Pete Hegseth has taken no accountability. He's bashed the reporter. He's called it a hoax. He's done everything but say, hey. I made a mistake by putting this information in the signal chat. You mentioned secretary Austin. He stood at the podium for an hour and took accountability. He asked for a thirty day review of the hospitalization.
[01:21:18] Unknown:
He asked for an inspector Did a single Democrat ask for his resignation? Scott, if I may Did a single Democrat, not one. I am so glad to hear you say that this was a mistake. We have not heard a single member of the Trump administration say that this was a mistake. Trump did. We need leadership. Trump did. We need leaders who step up, who own their mistakes. Trump did. Clear plans because what I'm hearing on the ground from actual constituents is that this is a sign of the carelessness of this administration who can't even protect national security details. What about our personal details? I wanted
[01:21:49] Unknown:
So that's where we're gonna end it right there. But I think I think Scott Jennings did a did a fine job in, in in in basically dismantling the argument, that that there should be firings. I I think he's spot on. There should not be firings. No one deserves to be fired over this, especially since, as he said, you know, the bar was set so low, with the previous administration. But, I think, folks, I think we're gonna call it quits here. We're closing up on the ninety minute mark, and, again, I I apologize we went over, the hour again.
