00:01:27.000 Homeschooling has exploded since the lockdowns.

00:01:31.000 We've seen nearly a doubling in homeschooling, and the movement is growing.

00:01:36.000 And the public government schools are getting very worried about it.

00:01:40.000 A man has a great American patriot, a man that I know, has a new documentary about this called The Homeschool Awakening, June 13th and 14th in theaters.

00:01:51.000 And that is the brilliant Kirk Cameron.

00:01:53.000 Kirk, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:55.000 Hey, Charlie, great to be talking with you, Ro.

00:01:57.000 Nice to see you.

00:01:58.000 You too.

00:01:58.000 So tell us about your movie.

00:02:00.000 Well, for the last couple of years, I've been working on this documentary.

00:02:04.000 I'm calling it the Homeschool Awakening.

00:02:06.000 And there really is a great awakening that's taking place, a parent-led movement that was really sparked by the pandemic shutdowns of public schools.

00:02:16.000 Now, homeschooling's been a thing for quite a while.

00:02:19.000 In fact, my wife and I homeschooled our six kids, but the sending of children home from public schools to learn in their bedroom and living room gave parents this front row seat.

00:02:30.000 They saw what their kids were being taught.

00:02:32.000 They were horrified.

00:02:34.000 Homeschooling doubled.

00:02:35.000 Many of the parents didn't send their kids back to school.

00:02:38.000 They're looking for new options.

00:02:40.000 And now there's this explosion of parents who are looking for hope.

00:02:46.000 They're looking for options.

00:02:48.000 And I want to give that to them by giving them a front row seat and being part of the everyday adventures of about 17 different American homeschool families who are on mission to put faith, family, and freedom back into learning.

00:03:05.000 So, how many of these people that are homeschooling that you talk about in your movie never would have seen themselves as homeschooling?

00:03:10.000 They were prompted to by other kinds of environmental factors.

00:03:14.000 Probably most all of them.

00:03:15.000 There were a couple who may, as parents, were homeschooled as kids, but the majority of them thought the kind of things that I thought, like homeschooling, who does that?

00:03:25.000 That's just kind of weird.

00:03:26.000 You know, I mean, you keep your kids sequestered in your house.

00:03:29.000 You probably, you're probably a Quaker. 0.95

00:03:31.000 You probably own a cow and churn your own butter.

00:03:35.000 But they discovered that that's actually not the case.

00:03:38.000 In fact, there's rural families, there's families in urban settings.

00:03:42.000 I live in Hollywood.

00:03:43.000 I'm a movie maker.

00:03:45.000 And they've discovered that there are smart strategies for socializing your kids.

00:03:50.000 There's this vast community of homeschool families with so much help, endless amounts of curriculum.

00:03:58.000 And it turns out that colleges and universities love homeschool students because of the benefits that they get socially, academically, and otherwise.

00:04:08.000 So it's really exploding the stereotypes and giving people a real modern day look at what you can do if you get creative and get in community with like-minded people for the sake of your kids' future.

00:04:24.000 Yeah, we've seen homeschooling just take off like a rocket post-COVID, and some parents are a little intimidated by it.

00:04:31.000 Talk about how, you know, through this film, you are attempting to try to destigmatize homeschooling.

00:04:38.000 So, as I said earlier, I had an allergic reaction to the idea of homeschooling myself.

00:04:44.000 And there was some articles that came out recently, MSNBC and plenty of Twitter feeds that would come in and saying, oh, homeschooling is an attempt from the extreme right to destroy American education. 0.99

00:05:00.000 Somehow it's racist.

00:05:02.000 These kids are sequestered and they don't have focus.

00:05:06.000 They're not able to perform well in the real world.

00:05:09.000 And the exact opposite of all of that turns out to be true.

00:05:14.000 If you talk to homeschool kids, the majority of them, you'll be shocked at how well they have conversations with grown adults, unlike your average 13-year-old, 14, 15-year-old at a public school system that are sort of stuck in this monoculture of kids their own age, glued to their phone.

00:05:34.000 And what I've found that that kind of socialization in those settings is not helpful.

00:05:41.000 It's harmful.

00:05:42.000 But in a homeschool setting, kids are able to be with those who are outside their age group.

00:05:48.000 Parents are involved.

00:05:49.000 Grandparents are involved.

00:05:50.000 Older kids teaching younger kids.

00:05:53.000 You're able to travel, experience different cultures, all kinds of things.

00:05:58.000 Charlie, were you, I can't remember, were you homeschooled?

00:06:01.000 No, no, no, no.

00:06:01.000 I was not.

00:06:02.000 Private and then public school, six through 12.

00:06:06.000 Well, I know you've met a lot of homeschool families and I'm routinely impressed by them when I go and talk with them at conferences and you see the co-ops and all of the networks that exist.

00:06:19.000 It's providing an option of hope for parents that for millions of them is becoming the gold standard.

00:06:25.000 And it's not just to get away from the bad things that they're learning in public schools, but they're realizing that they're getting their family back.

00:06:34.000 It's actually like filling their sails and saying, wow, this is what it's like to be a family.

00:06:39.000 I'm not farming this out to a system that I'm trying to undo, you know, with the little time I have left on the weekends.

00:06:48.000 I'm actually able to pour all the right stuff into our kids in a community of others who want to do the same thing and it's making a difference.

00:06:55.000 The movie is called the Homeschooling Awakening or the Homeschool Awakening, I should say.

00:07:01.000 And so, yeah, I mean, a lot of parents say, oh, my kids will become socially awkward.

00:07:06.000 They won't, but also other parents say, I can't possibly become a teacher.

00:07:10.000 Talk about how you navigate that through the film and how parents actually, they're able to teach more than they think.

00:07:17.000 Well, first of all, I'd like to say, Charlie, that I love teachers and teachers have such an important job.

00:07:17.000 Yeah.

00:07:25.000 They make a difference in the lives of children.

00:07:28.000 And God bless all of the good teachers who are devoting their lives to teaching kids.

00:07:33.000 In fact, my father is a public school teacher, and so is my grandmother and my grandfather.

00:07:38.000 And teachers have made a great difference in my life.

00:07:41.000 However, as we know in the public school system today, it's not like it was when we went to public school or our parents went to public school.

00:07:49.000 Teachers are not choosing the curriculum.

00:07:51.000 The government is.

00:07:53.000 And the good teachers have got their hands tied.

00:07:57.000 So, with regard to homeschooling, you don't have to be an advanced physics teacher in order to teach that subject to your kids.

00:08:03.000 You're just the coach, you're the quarterback.

00:08:07.000 There's some things that you can teach, and then there will be other people in the homeschool community in your area, no doubt, who are qualified to teach these more advanced subjects that you're not comfortable with.

00:08:19.000 And then, of course, there are online teachers with PhDs, fantastic curriculums that you can take as part of colleges, universities, private schools.

00:08:28.000 There's even sports programs that you can be involved in, if not within your homeschool community sports leagues, but the schools that are in your community, private schools, and even public schools.

00:08:41.000 A lot of people don't know that, but all of these things are available to you.

00:08:46.000 They are to me, and I live in California.

00:08:49.000 So, if you live in a state that embraces this more than we do out here, I'm sure your options will be even more extensive.

00:08:55.000 So, in closing, here, where can people find out more and purchase the film The Homeschool Awakening?

00:09:01.000 So, The Homeschool Awakening is in theaters this Monday and Tuesday only.

00:09:07.000 So, you got to get your tickets for this Monday and Tuesday, June 13th and 14th only.

00:09:12.000 And many theaters have already sold out.

00:09:20.000 If you put in your zip code, the theater will come up in your neighborhood and then you can reserve your tickets.

00:09:26.000 Mine's already sold out, so I'm going to buy a ticket to Top Gun, and then I'm just going to go over to the Homeschool Awakening theater and stand in the back.

00:09:34.000 That's a good thing that you're sold out.

00:09:36.000 I love it.

00:09:37.000 Kirk Cameron, great American.

00:09:39.000 The website is thehomeschoolawakening.com.

00:09:42.000 And everyone listening right now, you should homeschool your kids if you can.

00:09:45.000 It'll make your family better connected.

00:09:48.000 Watch the movie if you're a skeptic.

00:09:49.000 It'll also help save the country.

00:09:51.000 Kirk, thank you so much.

00:09:52.000 God bless you, Charlie.

00:09:53.000 Great to talk to you.

00:09:54.000 Thank you.

00:09:54.000 You too.

00:09:57.000 Look, over the years, you've probably tried different investments in stocks and mutual funds.

00:10:02.000 So now you know they could be up or down or all over the place.

00:10:05.000 But with inflation running at 8.5%, probably even higher than that, the highest rate for 40 years.

00:10:10.000 Do you need uncertainty?

00:10:11.000 Being able to sleep at night, knowing your investments aren't about to crash, it's worth its weight in gold.

00:10:52.000 Own things you can touch at noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:10:59.000 One of the most important shows that we have done recently is the show where we said we are entering the final phase, where the Democrats will understand now they're reacting to our reaction that they can no longer call us names, that the paralysis of insults no longer works against us, and that it's going to become nothing more than brute force, that they're going to have to use their political power as a last means resort to shut us up.

00:11:28.000 To literally, in the case of Peter Navarro, put him in leg irons.

00:11:34.000 Joe Biden went on Jimmy Kimmel and he joked about sending his political opponents to jail.

00:11:41.000 Now, Joe Biden is in a very fragile mental state.

00:11:44.000 I do not think he actually is saying things he doesn't mean.

00:11:48.000 I think Joe Biden is saying things he didn't mean to say.

00:11:51.000 Play Cut 60.

00:11:53.000 Look, the Republicans don't play it square. 1.00

00:11:53.000 Good ass. 1.00

00:11:55.000 Why do you play it square? 0.99

00:11:57.000 Well, guess what?

00:11:58.000 If we do the same thing they do, our democracy will literally be in jeopardy.

00:12:02.000 Well, yeah, not a joke.

00:12:05.000 And I understand their argument, but also it's like you're playing monopoly with somebody who, you know, won't pass go and won't follow any of the rules.

00:12:13.000 And how do you ever make any progress if they're not following the rules?

00:12:18.000 We've got to send them to jail. 0.83

00:12:19.000 You know, yeah, just lock them up.

00:12:24.000 I mean, come on.

00:12:26.000 Just put them in handcuffs. 1.00

00:12:28.000 Our conversation about the final phase and entering the final phase is largely focused on how Democrats know they have nothing left.

00:12:37.000 They've lost the American people when it comes to give us a lot of political power.

00:12:40.000 We'll improve your lives.

00:12:42.000 Hasn't happened.

00:12:43.000 Every single one of their public policy proposals is against the laws of nature and nature's God, from the chemical castration of children to open borders to gun confiscation to artificially intervening in the economy with made-up currency.

00:12:57.000 They are against the laws of nature that wire our existence.

00:13:01.000 That's why their policies don't work.

00:13:02.000 They never will work.

00:13:03.000 They don't believe in the laws of nature.

00:13:08.000 We're entering the final phase where a Michigan gubernatorial candidate, who some say is the frontrunner, was just recently arrested in connection to the January 6th capital breach.

00:13:18.000 Michigan gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelly was arrested yesterday and charged with participating in the January 6th, 2021 capital breach, according to federal prosecutors in a court filing of the U.S. District Court of District Columbia.

00:13:30.000 This is all part of what we have been warning about, which is the final phase.

00:13:34.000 All they have left is brute political power, deplatforming, censoring, silencing, handcuffs, prison.

00:13:40.000 They will come after you.

00:13:41.000 It doesn't matter about fairness, justice, integrity.

00:13:44.000 Those are words on a sheet of paper.

00:13:46.000 Fidelity, bravery, integrity.

00:13:47.000 They will cast aside every single one of them.

00:13:50.000 What they care is taking people off the chessboard.

00:13:52.000 Now, this strategy they are doing is not going to work.

00:13:57.000 It's not going to work if we remain resilient, if we have resolve, if we push back against their authoritarian tyrannical tendencies.

00:14:06.000 But you have the president of the United States saying, oh, we just got to send them to jail.

00:14:12.000 Remember when Donald Trump joked around, lock her up with Hillary Clinton? 0.84

00:14:16.000 They lost their mind. 0.98

00:14:17.000 He's a fascist is what they said for years. 0.97

00:14:19.000 Joe Biden just goes on, Jimmy Kimmel. 0.94

00:14:21.000 Yeah, let's just come on, send my political opponents to jail. 0.98

00:14:24.000 Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate arrested.

00:14:26.000 Peter Navarro put in solitary confinement with leg irons, trying to get on a plane.

00:14:30.000 Steve Bannon's trial is coming up.

00:14:34.000 All these things are coming together into a confirmation of this phase of power.

00:14:45.000 We have the truth.

00:14:46.000 We do not live in a country where we resolve our differences through dialogue anymore.

00:14:50.000 No, it's still, it really matters now who has more guns, literally, who has the power of the state, literally, and who's willing to use it.

00:15:01.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:15:03.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:15:06.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:15:08.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:15:14.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:15:18.000 They are on a mission.

00:15:19.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:15:21.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:15:27.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:15:28.000 So here's the deal.

00:15:57.000 A couple months ago, we launched a new project at Turning Point USA Frontlines with Drew Hernandez.

00:16:02.000 And Drew Hernandez has been a frontlines journalist for years, testified in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, did a wonderful job.

00:16:07.000 And the whole idea was that we want to go tell the stories as we see it, not through some sort of filter.

00:16:12.000 And Drew is bold and he has courage.

00:16:13.000 You were also doing the pro-choice stuff recently, all the abortion stuff, right?

00:16:17.000 Yeah, we were at the Arizona State Capitol and capturing all the psychopaths.

00:16:22.000 Some people were throwing up signs that said a fetus equals a good snack. 0.53

00:16:26.000 It wasn't a troll, I mean, but this is what we do.

00:16:28.000 We just capture the psychos and just basically put up a mirror to who they are.

00:16:33.000 And show the world.

00:16:35.000 Kyle Rittenhouse, I think, was a free man, largely thanks to your testimony and your footage.

00:16:41.000 Also, of course, obviously, you did some wonderful work and have been doing some wonderful work throughout Texas.

00:16:46.000 You did some interesting work last week, but what happened last night, I think, is some of your most noteworthy work recently.

00:16:52.000 You went down to Yuma?

00:16:52.000 So tell us about it.

00:16:53.000 Is that right?

00:16:54.000 So, yeah, we were just filming for Frontlines the past couple days down at the southern border, Yuma, here in Arizona.

00:17:01.000 It was a little slow because we showed up yesterday during the day, and obviously for obvious reasons, the heat is rising like crazy here in Arizona 105.

00:17:10.000 It's up there, especially down there.

00:17:12.000 And so, some of the Border Patrol agents, they were very nice.

00:17:15.000 They're being really cool, being very joking and funny with us.

00:17:18.000 And they're like, you need to come back around midnight if you want to see something.

00:17:24.000 And I was like, really?

00:17:25.000 And he's like, yeah, midnight to maybe around five in the morning.

00:17:30.000 And so the team and I, Jorge Ventura, was with us too at the Daily Caller.

00:17:33.000 He was helping us out.

00:17:34.000 He's a great reporter, put out viral footage as well.

00:17:34.000 He's a great reporter.

00:17:37.000 You guys need to go follow him at Ventura Report on Twitter.

00:17:41.000 We were like, let's just pull a night shift.

00:17:43.000 Let's just do it and see what happens.

00:17:44.000 I love it.

00:17:45.000 So, you know, we shifted gears.

00:17:47.000 We were going to film the next day and hopefully try and film something, but we just took the chance.

00:17:52.000 We showed up at midnight and we started to see some apprehensions.

00:17:56.000 I mean, you've been down there, right?

00:17:57.000 You've been down to the gateway.

00:17:58.000 I think I've been right to this very sector.

00:18:00.000 Okay, that's it.

00:18:01.000 I've been to the exact same place, right near the Native American Reservation.

00:18:01.000 That's the gap.

00:18:04.000 I know precisely where you were.

00:18:04.000 Okay.

00:18:06.000 So we were kind of watching the sequence happen, right?

00:18:09.000 So a little further away from the Indian Reservation, where there's the actual gap in the wall.

00:18:14.000 I know what you're talking about.

00:18:15.000 That's where the runners, where all the men are being sent, sometimes they'll run drugs through there, or sometimes that's kind of where the single men will try and get through.

00:18:23.000 But then further down by the Indian Reservation, that open part two is where the family units come, where they're just massive groups of family.

00:18:31.000 So sometimes the cartels or the human smugglers, they'll send the family units on one side while on the other side, exactly right. 0.80

00:18:39.000 You know, there's a distraction diversion.

00:18:41.000 They go in.

00:18:41.000 So we were kind of going back and forth.

00:18:43.000 We were seeing the Border Patrol activate.

00:18:44.000 They were going after some of these runners that were trying to get in the U.S.

00:18:48.000 They would apprehend them.

00:18:49.000 Someone get away. 0.88

00:18:50.000 It was a little slow throughout the night, but we it started slow, but then it yes, it started slow.

00:18:58.000 But then around 3 in the morning, 3:30 in the morning, this massive group showed up.

00:19:04.000 And one of the Border Patrol agents tipped us off because we were in another location.

00:19:07.000 He sent us a picture and he's like, you guys need to get here.

00:19:10.000 Like, this is a huge group and we're going to be here all night.

00:19:14.000 So we showed up between 3:30 and when we stopped our coverage, I'm running off of like no sleep right now.

00:19:20.000 We literally just came from the Southern Bridge episode.

00:19:23.000 I'm trying to remember all these times.

00:19:25.000 Between 3:30 in the morning and when some of the Border Patrol agents actually kind of were wrapping it up, it was like maybe like 5:30 in the morning.

00:19:35.000 Between that time, it was like 800 people.

00:19:39.000 800.

00:19:40.000 800.

00:19:41.000 One passing.

00:19:42.000 One sector.

00:19:43.000 It was a caravan.

00:19:44.000 It was, you caught a mini caravan.

00:19:46.000 800.

00:19:47.000 So some of the coyotes and the cartel that were on the other side of the southern border, The Mexicans, I, you know, I'm crazy. 0.97

00:19:56.000 The team's crazy. 0.84

00:19:57.000 We decided to go back there.

00:19:59.000 Sorry, Marina, if you're watching, but I decided to go and do it.

00:20:03.000 So I went back there and, you know, I was conversing with the coyote, one of the cartel dudes.

00:20:09.000 And I just started asking him, I was like, how many, honestly, how many people do you think is in this one group?

00:20:14.000 I was like, give me an estimate.

00:20:15.000 And he told me in Spanish, between, you know, six, seven to eight hundred in one group.

00:20:21.000 And I don't know.

00:20:22.000 One sector of one sector between 3.30 in the morning and 5.15 in the morning.

00:20:28.000 That short amount of time.

00:20:30.000 Tonight, if you're a viewer of Charlie here in Arizona, your state was invaded last night.

00:20:37.000 But that's just, but that's not that doesn't count the southern Yuma sector.

00:20:40.000 That doesn't count Nahalis. 0.94

00:20:42.000 That doesn't count all the other, and it doesn't count Texas, Rio Grande Valley.

00:20:45.000 I want to play some of your tape here.

00:20:47.000 It's extraordinary.

00:20:47.000 Let's play cut 83.

00:20:50.000 This is the first group I believe you report on.

00:20:52.000 You say, I'm sorry, 82, 300 illegals that have crossed in the United States to the empty border space.

00:20:58.000 Let's start with 82.

00:20:59.000 We'll go from there.

00:21:00.000 This is the group of illegals that has come across the southern border illegally.

00:21:04.000 There's at least more than 150 people here.

00:21:08.000 Tons of men.

00:21:10.000 There's definitely a lot more men in this group right now.

00:21:14.000 And that's what we've been seeing all night, which is interesting because a lot of these people pose as families.

00:21:21.000 And we want to see the other side right now.

00:21:23.000 We're going to go take a look at the other side.

00:21:24.000 But this is a massive group.

00:21:28.000 Huge, huge.

00:21:29.000 I can't emphasize it anymore.

00:21:30.000 And these people are coming right there.

00:21:31.000 That's where they come in.

00:21:32.000 Right there.

00:21:34.000 And here they go.

00:21:37.000 Get a bust.

00:21:39.000 What we were just seeing is basically just a long line.

00:21:42.000 People on podcast and radio.

00:21:44.000 That was the beginning.

00:21:45.000 Okay.

00:21:45.000 That was the first volley.

00:21:46.000 That was the first kind of little wave.

00:21:49.000 And the reason why I posted more than 300 at the beginning was because I asked the border patrol agents.

00:21:54.000 I was like, what do you guys estimate just came in right now?

00:21:56.000 And that's what he told us.

00:21:58.000 But then more, hundreds of more started to come in throughout the country.

00:22:01.000 And that's the next one.

00:22:02.000 So this is the 800.

00:22:02.000 Yep.

00:22:04.000 Now, before we go any further, these people are not just from Nicaragua and Mexico.

00:22:08.000 Where are they from?

00:22:08.000 No, so we found out, Jorge was asking some questions too.

00:22:11.000 We found out, I've written down right here, Russians, Afghanis, Indians, people from Georgia, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, and there's even more.

00:22:23.000 And if you guys caught in the clip, I did mention that there were more men.

00:22:29.000 Single men. 0.56

00:22:30.000 They were like some buff dudes.

00:22:32.000 They were well fed.

00:22:33.000 What's interesting too is some of these countries and some of the individuals we saw, they didn't look like poor people or poor individuals.

00:22:42.000 They did look like individuals that probably had money, that came from some of these countries, that had the ability to come from all the way from Afghanistan.

00:22:50.000 You see what I'm saying, Charlie?

00:22:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:22:52.000 It was abnormal last night.

00:22:53.000 And plus being more men, the ratio to women.

00:22:56.000 So there's a drop zone right near there where they drop their passports and they drop their stuff.

00:23:01.000 I want to play this tape.

00:23:02.000 I want to ask you, did some of these people want to get caught?

00:23:05.000 Because there's two buckets of people, right?

00:23:06.000 There's some that actually don't mind getting caught and there's some that don't want to get caught.

00:23:10.000 The ones that don't want to get caught are usually criminals with backgrounds.

00:23:13.000 They have guns or they have, or they're smuggling drugs, typically.

00:23:16.000 Those are the gotaways.

00:23:18.000 Let's play cut 83, 800 illegals in this batch in total. 1.00

00:23:23.000 Play cut 83.

00:23:25.000 I'm on the Mexican side of the border right now, and here's another massive, massive group.

00:23:33.000 On their way to cross in.

00:23:36.000 Guys, this is huge.

00:23:40.000 I'm here with one of the coyotes right now, actually.

00:23:43.000 I've never seen footage like this.

00:23:45.000 This is some pretty unique stuff, man.

00:23:46.000 So that's when hundreds of more started to come.

00:23:50.000 So my report of 300 only lasted about eight minutes and then became 800.

00:23:56.000 And then it became 800 within minutes.

00:23:59.000 This is what was happening last night.

00:24:01.000 And that's on the back side of the fence at the border.

00:24:04.000 And it was just hundreds of people.

00:24:06.000 I was even, the cartel coyote was right next to me.

00:24:09.000 And that's when I was asking him questions.

00:24:11.000 And every time I would kind of like put the phone on him, he would kind of like look at me like, nah.

00:24:15.000 So, but let's kind of make sure people understand this because, look, I grew up in Chicago, far from the border, and there's just all these misconceptions.

00:24:22.000 We have to understand, walk through our audience.

00:24:24.000 The coyotes, the cartels, they'll recruit these people.

00:24:26.000 They'll take money from this. 0.75

00:24:28.000 It's a coordinated effort.

00:24:28.000 This is not just people bumbling and stumbling across the border, right?

00:24:32.000 No.

00:24:32.000 This is a coordinated finance effort.

00:24:35.000 Can you help build that up for our audience?

00:24:37.000 So the cartels are very well organized.

00:24:40.000 And they're not just some like, I think when people think of cartels, they think of like just some Mexican mafia and Mexican.

00:24:47.000 Like Doseki's commercial.

00:24:48.000 Yeah, like they're transnational.

00:24:50.000 These people function in China.

00:24:51.000 These people function in Europe.

00:24:52.000 They function all across the entire globe.

00:24:55.000 They're making hundreds of millions, billions of dollars a day on human smuggling.

00:24:59.000 So that's their most profitable business.

00:25:01.000 Exactly.

00:25:01.000 So on the other side of things, you have the coyotes, you have the Falcons, you have people that are lookouts.

00:25:07.000 What do they have their own?

00:25:08.000 The Falcons are kind of more of the guys that are just watching what's happening.

00:25:12.000 I saw some of them when I went to the border.

00:25:13.000 They're not really like pushing people.

00:25:15.000 That's kind of like the coyote's job where they're actually smuggling.

00:25:17.000 They're leading people.

00:25:18.000 The guy I was literally walking with was a coyote.

00:25:20.000 He was literally told me, I'm leading these people to the United States.

00:25:23.000 And he was proud of it.

00:25:24.000 He felt like he was doing a good thing.

00:25:26.000 No, human smuggling.

00:25:27.000 Human trafficking is a massive federal crime.

00:25:29.000 And yet no one's getting arrested for this.

00:25:31.000 But Peter Navarro gets arrested when he gets off an airplane.

00:25:34.000 Absolutely.

00:25:35.000 So they're very well organized.

00:25:36.000 But I wanted to go back to your previous question, Charlie, when you said, do these people want to be caught or not?

00:25:42.000 These people, those hundreds of people, they want to be caught.

00:25:45.000 And here's the reason why, because we have a federal government right now that has incentivized these people to do just that because they know it's a free ride.

00:25:53.000 It's a free ticket.

00:25:54.000 They know once they cross that border and they see the Border Patrol agents, it's home free.

00:25:59.000 They're not going to get sent back to their country.

00:26:01.000 Nope.

00:26:02.000 And so.

00:26:02.000 Unless they're from Mexico and there's a couple others.

00:26:05.000 That's the Title 42.

00:26:06.000 They cannot claim asylum. 0.81

00:26:08.000 But Afghanistan, India.

00:26:10.000 So what they do, and this is important for everyone across the country to realize, I know this, they're like, okay, I know this, but they'll go buy a ticket, get however they possibly can to Mexico City, then to Mexicali, and then they'll make their way to the Yuma Crossing sector.

00:26:23.000 Is that correct?

00:26:25.000 It's a voyage. 0.98

00:26:27.000 And the cartels are there all along the way to extort these people and also rape young girls and take advantage of them. 0.94

00:26:34.000 It is a form of slavery.

00:26:36.000 Is that an exaggeration?

00:26:38.000 No, it's absolutely not because some of these people are so desperate to get into the country, Charlie.

00:26:43.000 They're so desperate to put their lives on the line.

00:26:45.000 Their families on the line, their children on the line.

00:26:47.000 They're willing to do what it takes to come to this country. 0.97

00:26:49.000 And it's so sad.

00:26:50.000 But the cartels view these people as nothing but a commodity.

00:26:54.000 When you talk to the Board of Patrol agents, that's all they ever tell you.

00:26:57.000 These people are seen as a commodity.

00:26:59.000 They're seen like cattle.

00:27:00.000 So when they're being treated this way and we have a federal government that knows this and they push these people to do this, this is the real crime against humanity.

00:27:09.000 I mean, when you take a look at this being incentivized, it's dangerous and it's evil and it's wrong.

00:27:13.000 But it's basically become legalized.

00:27:16.000 It's like legalized human smuggling.

00:27:19.000 And our Border Patrol, God bless them, they're doing the best they can.

00:27:23.000 But we have a federal government right now, Charlie, that has literally legalized human smuggling and turned our Border Patrol into an Uber service because when the cartels send them over, our Border Patrol just takes them in, gives them a ride, processes them.

00:27:40.000 They search them.

00:27:41.000 They put them on a bus.

00:27:42.000 They send them to some processing center.

00:27:44.000 From there, they're put on an NGO.

00:27:46.000 And then, if they claim to have family anywhere in the United States of America, they're good to go through federal grants.

00:27:50.000 They get a plane ticket or they're put on a train and they're just sent throughout the United States.

00:27:54.000 We saw this in Texas and it's happening in Arizona.

00:27:56.000 That was 800 last night.

00:27:58.000 Yuma sector is averaging for that.

00:27:59.000 That's not the whole sector.

00:28:00.000 That's just one area of apprehension.

00:28:02.000 800 in one area that, what, was maybe a couple hundred yards, right?

00:28:06.000 Yeah.

00:28:06.000 So you had 800.

00:28:08.000 And so Arizona-wide, and we don't get the true numbers from Maorkis, it's probably 2,000 people that are coming across.

00:28:15.000 And this is the summer.

00:28:16.000 It's supposed to go down in the summer, isn't it?

00:28:18.000 Yes.

00:28:18.000 And so it is not inconceivable that it's 4,000 people entire border-wide a day right now.

00:28:24.000 Yeah, you go do the math.

00:28:26.000 That's millions of people crossing into your country right now illegally.

00:28:32.000 Families across the nation are experiencing the homeschool awakening.

00:28:36.000 Join award-winning actor Kirk Cameron as he dives into adventures of dynamic American families on a mission to put fun and faith back into learning.

00:28:44.000 Kirk was recently quoted by saying, The pandemic made parents grossly aware of what the public schools are teaching our kids.

00:28:50.000 It's up to us, the parents, to cultivate the hearts, souls, and minds of our children.

00:28:54.000 Today's public school system is not working for us.

00:28:56.000 They're actively working against us.

00:28:58.000 Public education has become public enemy, number one, and I could not agree more.

00:29:02.000 The Homeschool Awakening focuses on homeschooling journeys of different families, explores the in-and-outs and necessity of parents regaining their kids' education.

00:29:10.000 It provides honest answers to the homeschooling most frequently asked questions.

00:29:14.000 Kirk Cameron presents the Homeschool Awakening, coming to theaters this June for two nights only on Monday, June 13th and Tuesday, June 14th, 7 p.m. local time.

00:29:26.000 That's thehomeschoolawakening.com.

00:29:31.000 Let's play Cut 92, Drew Hernando's live from the Yuma, Arizona.

00:29:36.000 A lot more men tonight than women.

00:29:40.000 And look at the packs.

00:29:41.000 You look inside of their gear.

00:29:42.000 You're finding condoms.

00:29:43.000 You're finding contraceptive pills.

00:29:45.000 I mean, this is the harsh, evil reality of what this current administration has incentivized for these people to put themselves through.

00:29:55.000 You want to know what this administration thinks about Hispanics and Latinos and Latino women coming from these foreign Latin American countries?

00:30:03.000 This is what they think. 0.99

00:30:04.000 They don't care if they get raped. 1.00

00:30:06.000 They don't care if they get killed or murdered or kidnapped. 0.98

00:30:09.000 They just say, hey, now's your time to come into the United States of America.

00:30:13.000 We hope you make it.

00:30:14.000 Drew?

00:30:15.000 You know, it's a timely video, especially after this recent news that came out with the Soros going after, what was it, like more than 20 Hispanic races, Hispanic, conservative, almost anti-I mean, one of them was an anti-communist radio station that they bought out.

00:30:33.000 They are going after the Hispanics hard, hard, because we all know that the largest non-white voting bloc is now the Hispanic community.

00:30:42.000 So, I mean, I think what's happening is people need to seriously take a look at this and identify, especially the Hispanic community, that we are dealing with a political party right now that just wants to literally exploit you and use you and take people from foreign countries that look like you and that may think like you or talk like you just for a vote. 0.90

00:31:03.000 And they're willing to do it at the expense of them possibly getting murdered, raped, or abducted.

00:31:08.000 And so, how many gotaways did you see last night? 0.76

00:31:12.000 These are the real criminals, by the way.

00:31:14.000 This is the ones we really got to look out for.

00:31:16.000 How many did you see?

00:31:17.000 I would say before we saw that huge group, we did see a couple that got away, but then we did see the Border Patrol kind of find them and get a hold of them.

00:31:27.000 But that's just what we could see.

00:31:29.000 I mean, it's still a huge area, especially at night.

00:31:32.000 But then, when that massive group came, that's what everyone's focus was on.

00:31:36.000 So, I could only imagine what was going on.

00:31:39.000 Like I said, we were on the side where all the families come in.

00:31:42.000 So, I could only imagine what was really going on.

00:31:44.000 It wasn't a lot of families.

00:31:44.000 It was young men.

00:31:45.000 Yeah.

00:31:46.000 Like fighting men.

00:31:47.000 Where typically that's where that, that's where that zone is.

00:31:49.000 Yeah, but I mean, like the kind of stereotype is like, oh, there's all these women and young children. 0.95

00:31:54.000 You saw some of that, but most of it was like 28, 29, 30-year-old men.

00:31:57.000 Is that right?

00:31:57.000 Exactly.

00:31:58.000 And that's why it was a little confusing last night because typically those are the ones that get deported.

00:32:02.000 But sometimes they'll pose as family units.

00:32:04.000 Sometimes they'll try and look like they're family units.

00:32:06.000 And the Border Patrol will tell you, like, we really have no idea to confirm if these people are actual families or not.

00:32:12.000 I mean, yeah, we could do DNA testing, but it's not that accurate.

00:32:15.000 And we can't do that for a group of 800 people in one night.

00:32:18.000 So how easy would this be to fix?

00:32:21.000 I think what President Trump was doing and was on track when I talk, here's interesting too.

00:32:27.000 I haven't even put out this video.

00:32:28.000 We're going to put it out when we put out front lines tonight.

00:32:31.000 But I was actually talking to a Mexican national.

00:32:34.000 He was on the other side of the border.

00:32:35.000 And he actually had some pretty decent English.

00:32:37.000 And I asked him, I said, where are you from?

00:32:39.000 He's like, I'm from here in Mexico.

00:32:41.000 I've lived here all my life here on the border town.

00:32:43.000 And I said, have things gotten worse down here under President Biden?

00:32:47.000 I was like, honestly.

00:32:48.000 He's like, yeah.

00:32:49.000 He's like, things have definitely gone up.

00:32:51.000 I was like, what about President Trump?

00:32:53.000 I was like, were things like kind of way lower?

00:32:56.000 And he's like, yeah, obviously.

00:32:57.000 It was not nowhere near as bad as it is right now.

00:33:01.000 I asked the same thing to that coyote in the cartel guy.

00:33:04.000 I asked, I wish I got it on camera, but I couldn't because he wouldn't let me film him.

00:33:07.000 Asked him the same question, and it was the same answers.

00:33:10.000 I think upholding our international laws, our border security, finishing the wall, Jorge and I were down there as well.

00:33:16.000 You still see the ruins.

00:33:17.000 They have still there.

00:33:17.000 You've been down there.

00:33:18.000 They have the steel just rusting.

00:33:19.000 Just rusting.

00:33:20.000 It's worse.

00:33:21.000 They're still just sitting there.

00:33:22.000 Obviously, building the wall is a start, but also empowering our Border Patrol agencies.

00:33:27.000 To allow to deport people on site, too.

00:33:29.000 Absolutely.

00:33:29.000 We're not even allowed to do that.

00:33:30.000 We're rejecting these people on site.

00:33:33.000 That's the key.

00:33:33.000 And we are not allowed to deport them on site under the current rules and regulations put forward by the Biden regime.

00:33:39.000 It should be a zero tolerance thing.

00:33:41.000 And it just doesn't happen.

00:33:42.000 And the Mexican government, this is where Trump was brilliant, threatened them with tariffs and get them on board.

00:33:47.000 The Mexican government could do a lot to stop this.

00:33:50.000 This is all organized.

00:33:51.000 It's fun on the Mexican government side.

00:33:53.000 You just have to have some Mexican federales drive by and break up the party and say, get out of here. 1.00

00:33:57.000 But they're corrupt, though. 0.98

00:33:59.000 The cartel owns their government. 0.98

00:34:00.000 Exactly.

00:34:00.000 They're corrupt because when I talked to that same Mexican national, he was like, part of the problem is those federales because they want all these people coming because they'll rob them and they'll exploit them too.

00:34:12.000 So it's kind of like, it's just so corrupt on that.

00:34:15.000 There are some really good Mexican reformers that want it to be fixed. 0.97

00:34:19.000 You got to find them, empower them in the Mexican government.

00:34:22.000 Trump was doing that.

00:34:23.000 He isolated some people that really want what's best there, but corruption is widespread.
