00:01:39.000 Very important.

00:01:40.000 This is a viral story we've been talking about, and we're going to be here diving into it.

00:01:44.000 Joining us now is Savannah Hernandez, the legendary Savannah Hernandez, who is on the ground with a breaking story that has gone viral.

00:01:53.000 Savannah, walk our audience through it.

00:01:55.000 Great work.

00:01:56.000 Thank you so much, Charlie.

00:01:57.000 So, of course, we're on the ground for the Turning Point USA Frontlines team, and we were actually at that same apartment complex that has been in the news for allegedly being overrun by Tren de Aragua.

00:02:08.000 Now, as we approached the apartment yesterday, there was actually a huge protest going on outside, and it looked like the migrants organically Organized this protest to say, actually this reporting has been wrong.

00:02:21.000 TDA actually isn't in the area.

00:02:24.000 It's very safe.

00:02:25.000 And this is a slumlord issue.

00:02:27.000 They were holding up signs saying, stop slumlords now.

00:02:30.000 And there's no gangs here.

00:02:31.000 Stop lying.

00:02:33.000 We spoke to migrants.

00:02:34.000 We went inside the apartment complexes.

00:02:37.000 It looked like a very, very bad scene there.

00:02:39.000 Now, I actually did some investigating, and it was actually the East Colfax Community Collective that was here organizing this protest, because as we all know, this apartment has garnered national attention for being potentially overrun by gangs.

00:02:56.000 We have seen all of these stories from Colorado residents saying, hey, I'm scared to take my kids to the park.

00:03:02.000 There is definitely gang violence here.

00:03:03.000 The migrant issue has gotten out of control. 0.94

00:03:06.000 And then yesterday, we see the migrants telling a different story. 1.00

00:03:09.000 Well, it's because this communist group actually organized this event.

00:03:13.000 They were writing these signs for the migrants in English saying that there were no gangs.

00:03:17.000 They instructed the migrants to say that there were no gangs in this area. 0.50

00:03:21.000 I'm here with Jonathan Cho who went and spoke to different migrants at the same apartment complex and also residents surrounding the area who said that there is very much gang violence in the area and there were also bullet holes in the windows as well.

00:03:35.000 What I wanted to break here on your show, Charlie, is that this specific group ...is also funded by the City of Aurora and the City of Denver, so this communist collective group is now running cover and trying to change the narrative for the City of Aurora and Denver and say that Tren de Aragua is really not an issue here, when in fact it is.

00:03:56.000 I mean, this is amazing.

00:03:57.000 Let's take a step back here and also play, I want to play some of this tape here.

00:04:00.000 And by the way, great work, courageous work.

00:04:03.000 Everyone understands, turning point USA Frontlines goes where no one else goes.

00:04:06.000 The first major organization actually go to this Aurora, Colorado compound, figure out what the heck is going on.

00:04:13.000 So, let's play Cut 57.

00:04:14.000 Complex tenants and city police say there's no sign of the gangs occupying the apartment complex.

00:04:20.000 Play Cut 57.

00:04:21.000 I'm not saying that there's not gang members that don't live in this community, but what we're learning out here is that I can tell you that gang members have not taken over this apartment complex.

00:04:31.000 Okay, and then let's play Cut 56.

00:04:34.000 Alright y'all, so we are outside of that apartment complex that has been in the news all week for allegedly being overrun by Tren de Agua.

00:04:42.000 Now, the East Colfax Community Collective, which is a communist-aligned group, was saying that actually this area is completely safe, that there's no gang members.

00:04:51.000 This, of course, comes after the city is calling to evict people out of this building and shut it down because of the violence.

00:04:57.000 Now, the migrants are saying the area is safe, that there's no gang members at all, the communist group saying the exact same thing, but we're surveilling the area and as you guys can see, the actual building has bullet holes.

00:05:10.000 Okay, this bullet hole actually goes all the way through to the other side.

00:05:13.000 We were able to tour the area.

00:05:15.000 There's multiple broken windows.

00:05:18.000 As well, so it seems like the building is telling a different story and we are going to try to talk to residents in the area because I have seen differing narratives surrounding this specific apartment complex and Tren de Aragua.

00:05:33.000 Okay, so let me understand, Savannah.

00:05:37.000 We have video after video of these armed gangs taking over that were illegals. 0.99

00:05:42.000 What is the truth here?

00:05:43.000 We know that the building is 100% taken over.

00:05:46.000 The question is by who?

00:05:47.000 What is your reporting show?

00:05:48.000 So we had Jonathan Cho go back last night and speak to residents and he actually spoke to one who was in a hurry and he states that quote Mexicans have been going door to door and asking for money and essentially extorting residents.

00:06:03.000 Now, the migrants themselves have even admitted that Trenderagua and gangs are in the area, but because the city is threatening to evict them and shut this place down, again, this group has come in and instructed them to say, well, yes, there's gangs, but they're in just different apartment complexes.

00:06:20.000 So there absolutely is a big issue here.

00:06:22.000 And it's really crazy to see groups like this one come in and try to rewrite history essentially with what's going on.

00:06:30.000 And Charlie, I wanted to add as well that this is the same group that back during the winter told migrants to camp under a bridge in Denver.

00:06:38.000 to try to essentially strong arm the city into giving them more resources. They wrote out a

00:06:43.000 list of 13 demands for the migrants requesting culturally appropriate food, free showers for

00:06:49.000 on no time limit, free immigration lawyers. So this same group has been working alongside these

00:06:56.000 migrants extensively to try to, again, rewrite narratives, cover up what's really going on. 0.99

00:07:03.000 I know from the community as well, there is a sense of fear of, okay, I'm not really going to speak out about what's happening here because there is that aspect of gang violence.

00:07:12.000 But again, residents on the ground and migrants themselves who were not a part of this group and this protest yesterday, telling a very different story and saying that Tren de Aragua, of course, is very dangerous.

00:07:23.000 And I do want to just remind viewers as well, This is the same gang, the same Venezuelan prison gang that is linked to the death of Lakin Riley, that was linked to the shooting of two NYPD police officers earlier this year.

00:07:35.000 They've given the green light for their members to shoot and attack police officers.

00:07:40.000 There was also a very violent jewelry heist here in Denver in which Trenderagua members pistol whipped two women.

00:07:46.000 So everything that's happening in the community is counter to what, again, this communist group is trying to say.

00:07:53.000 The gang is very much here on the scene.

00:07:55.000 I mean, it feels like a cover up.

00:07:57.000 So just help me understand.

00:07:58.000 I know this is a difficult thing to ascertain, but based on your reporting, how many people here are here illegally in this complex or in that area versus American citizens or people that are supposed to be in our country?

00:08:12.000 So the interesting thing about this apartment complex is that a lot of the U.S.

00:08:16.000 residents were either evicted or they've left the area and the majority of them are illegals. 0.73

00:08:22.000 And I know that they're illegals because they were talking to us about work permits, which they were given by the Biden administration because they are Venezuelans.

00:08:30.000 So again, pretty much all of them here are illegal immigrants and they've overtaken many of these apartment complexes, many of these hotels in both the Denver and the Aurora area. 1.00

00:08:41.000 Uh, you know, back in February, Aurora actually passed a resolution saying, hey, Denver might be a sanctuary city, but we aren't, so we don't want to have to deal with this.

00:08:49.000 We are not going to be providing resources for these migrants. 1.00

00:08:52.000 But because the issue has gotten so out of hand in Denver, fun fact, They actually have the largest amount of migrants per capita in the entire nation in the city of Denver.

00:09:02.000 Because the issue is so bad over there, they've obviously leaked into Aurora and now the community is really feeling the effects of this and you're seeing entire apartment complexes similar to this one that are completely overtaken.

00:09:12.000 In this footage on screen right now, the people that you're seeing there that are American are again a part of that communist group that are trying to keep the illegals here in the United States and get more resources from the city and state. 0.67

00:09:24.000 Yeah, this whole thing smells.

00:09:26.000 We're not getting the right answer.

00:09:27.000 I mean, we know that there's millions and millions of illegal foreigners in our country.

00:09:30.000 We know that Colorado has a sizable population.

00:09:33.000 This is wrong no matter who's doing it.

00:09:35.000 It's even worse if these are foreigners that are then taking over our turf, which it seems as if that is exactly the case. 1.00

00:09:44.000 Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?

00:09:45.000 I understand.

00:09:46.000 I was right where you are two years ago.

00:09:47.000 Let me tell you why I chose the Ph.D.

00:09:50.000 Weight Loss and Nutrition program.

00:09:51.000 First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her Ph.D. 0.57

00:09:53.000 in Chronic Disease and Sports Nutrition.

00:09:55.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:09:58.000 Second, the Ph.D.

00:09:59.000 program starts in nutrition.

00:10:00.000 There is so much more.

00:10:01.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating

00:10:04.000 the reason you gained this weight in the first place.

00:10:07.000 There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior

00:10:10.000 change.

00:10:11.000 And finally, and probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.

00:10:13.000 Look, they're amazing.

00:10:14.000 If you want to lose weight, you've got to go to myphdweightloss.com.

00:10:17.000 I was just texting with Dr. Ash Lucas today.

00:10:19.000 If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.

00:10:24.000 Go online at myphdweightloss.com.

00:10:26.000 Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and call today, 864-644-1900.

00:10:32.000 I recommend their program.

00:10:33.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.

00:10:37.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:10:40.000 Second, the PhD program starts in nutrition, but it's so much more.

00:10:43.000 Go to MyPhDWeightLoss.com.

00:10:45.000 MyPhDWeightLoss.com.

00:10:47.000 Call 864-644-1900.

00:10:48.000 I lost over 30 pounds.

00:10:51.000 Dr. Asher Lucas.

00:10:52.000 Great American.

00:10:52.000 Check it out.

00:10:53.000 MyPhDWeightLoss.com.

00:10:57.000 Savannah, tell the audience, you've done a lot of reporting on the border and at the migrant shelters.

00:11:02.000 There's 320,000 missing kids right now that we know of.

00:11:05.000 How bad is the child sex trafficking issue on the southern border?

00:11:09.000 I mean, this is something that I've looked at for a long time, Charlie, and going to the border myself, I've seen, you know, a lot of horrific things, like children themselves just being left by the borders, by the cartels.

00:11:20.000 I mean, we know that this is a really huge issue, like you just said.

00:11:24.000 You know, the original number was, what, 85,000 children that were lost under the Biden-Harris administration, and that number is now over 300,000.

00:11:33.000 So this is something else that we're also working on in the Frontlines Division, is trying to find some of these children and figure out what has happened to them.

00:11:40.000 I've been doing some investigation and, you know, on top of the sex trafficking, the human trafficking that we're seeing of these children, a lot of them are also ending up working in factories, a lot of them, you know, over in Michigan, in very unsafe environments, and they're being exploited.

00:11:56.000 So this is what is happening to children under the current administration and it's been really heartbreaking to see because this is the result of open borders.

00:12:06.000 I know that oftentimes the media or even leftists will try to portray this as an issue of people just looking for a better life but oftentimes These families, these children are being exploited and it is the cartels that are continuing to profit off of these migrant kids.

00:12:23.000 I'll even add another point too, Charlie, because now that we're talking about this issue, I'm thinking about all of the different places across the country we've been.

00:12:29.000 In New York, we were even hearing reports of underage migrant girls that are working in these massage parlors.

00:12:36.000 I think you can imagine what's going on there and they're being extorted by the cartels as well.

00:12:41.000 So you've done a lot of work, too, about how easy it is to get a fake passport and to come into the interior of the United States.

00:12:46.000 Tell us about it.

00:12:47.000 Sure.

00:12:48.000 So in New York, there's a huge black market on Roosevelt Avenue in which migrants can basically get any document that they need, a green card, a fake ID. 0.51

00:12:57.000 And again, as we inch closer to election season, many people are asking if it's this easy for an illegal immigrant to get a fake ID that looks very real. 0.92

00:13:06.000 And we are already having, you know, discrepancies within our own election system.

00:13:11.000 How can we make sure that this is fortified ahead of November?

00:13:15.000 You know, I put out a report just a couple months ago about how Facebook is aiding and abetting a lot of this illegal activity.

00:13:21.000 You can go on Facebook right now and you can go get an ID and these are specifically marketed in Spanish to illegal immigrants.

00:13:28.000 So you can find any service there, right?

00:13:30.000 If you want to be smuggled across the border and then be given new documents to start your new life in the United States of America, complete with a stolen social security number, that's something that you can access on Facebook or in these black markets like Roosevelt Avenue in New York. 0.83

00:13:45.000 So, again, the state of the United States right now, it's really heartbreaking to see.

00:13:50.000 We have no law and order.

00:13:52.000 You have some of the most beautiful cities, once beautiful cities of America, completely overtaken by crime, by violence.

00:13:59.000 You are seeing Americans completely abandoned by their government, homeless Americans, veterans, and pushed to the side so that way we could be taking care of illegal immigrants. 0.99

00:14:09.000 Let's not forget that.

00:14:10.000 It's in the billions, right, that we've spent for these illegals. 0.99

00:14:13.000 I think in New York specifically, they started off saying, oh, we're going to spend a billion on the illegal immigration crisis.

00:14:19.000 I think it's now up to $4 billion.

00:14:21.000 Talks of up to $10 billion being spent on that crisis.

00:14:24.000 So just to give people an idea of, again, where our resources are going to, who the current administration is really focusing in on.

00:14:32.000 It's not the American people. 0.87

00:14:33.000 It's not even taking care of our police officers who again are being targeted by many of the cartel and gang members that are coming across the wide open border every single day.

00:14:42.000 Is anyone trying to stop this in the federal government?

00:14:45.000 Is it fair to say the federal government is facilitating this crisis?

00:14:48.000 Absolutely, and we can point to a lot of the reporting of how they themselves have facilitated programs like the CBP One app allowing people to seek asylum.

00:14:57.000 But again, that vetting process is very soft, not very secure.

00:15:01.000 You can see the program in which they were trying to fly illegal immigrants or they were 0.99

00:15:05.000 flying illegal immigrants from various other countries.

00:15:08.000 These people have been given priority and if you go to a lot of these sanctuary cities

00:15:13.000 across America as well, these migrants are then given protection so that they don't have 0.97

00:15:17.000 to worry about deportation.

00:15:19.000 Another thing that I'm going to be working on, Charlie, and this is going to be absolutely

00:15:22.000 crazy because no matter who gets into office, we already have organizations like the NGO

00:15:29.000 that I reported on today that are essentially anti-ICE groups.

00:15:32.000 So they're teaching migrants already in various major cities across the U.S.

00:15:36.000 how to combat ICE, how to shut down deportations, How to, you know, which number to call so that way activists can come and stop that immediately.

00:15:44.000 So this is what's been going on behind the scenes.

00:15:47.000 Exactly.

00:15:47.000 So it's like we want to clean up our country, but the migrants and all of these organizations, which again are in large part funded by the federal government, are already putting, I guess, things in place to stop importations and they haven't even started yet.

00:16:01.000 Great work, Savannah Hernandez.

00:17:19.000 Joining us now is Senator Josh Hawley with a bombshell new report.

00:17:24.000 First of all, welcome Senator.

00:17:25.000 Thank you for taking the time.

00:17:26.000 I want to go through this piece by piece of what you are learning regarding Donald Trump getting shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:17:33.000 Walk us through it.

00:17:34.000 Thank you for having me, Charlie.

00:17:36.000 It's great to be with you.

00:17:37.000 The latest whistleblower report that I've got Is that most of the agents that were there with President Trump and Butler on the day were not Secret Service agents.

00:17:47.000 Most of them were Homeland Security agents that had been pulled off other investigations.

00:17:52.000 Point number one.

00:17:53.000 Point number two, most of those agents had never done protective details before.

00:17:56.000 That's not what they do.

00:17:58.000 They investigate.

00:17:59.000 They do child crimes.

00:18:01.000 One of them told me he does child exploitation cases.

00:18:04.000 That's his specialty.

00:18:05.000 He got pulled off of that, said, Oh, you're going to go do a protective detail, which he'd never done.

00:18:09.000 How are they trained?

00:18:10.000 They were trained with a two-hour online webinar, basically a glorified Zoom meeting, which whistleblowers tell me didn't work half of the time and had to be restarted six times by the Secret Service.

00:18:23.000 So just think about this.

00:18:24.000 Here's how they're protecting the former President of the United States, using agents who don't do protective details, whose training is a Zoom call.

00:18:32.000 But they did stay at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.

00:18:37.000 Right.

00:18:38.000 So it's all fine.

00:18:40.000 Also, he was the nominee.

00:18:42.000 He was two days away from being the nominee, just so we're clear.

00:18:44.000 That happened on Saturday.

00:18:46.000 On Monday, he becomes the nominee.

00:18:48.000 And so, Senator, What is the excuse for this?

00:18:51.000 I mean, do they need really all the Secret Service protection detail to make sure Jimmy Carter is protected?

00:18:55.000 I mean, they have 36 protectees under their jurisdiction.

00:18:59.000 They have a massive budget.

00:19:00.000 It can't be a budgetary thing.

00:19:02.000 What is the excuse the Secret Service is giving you as to why, like, child sex crime investigators via Zoom call are now tasked with protecting Donald Trump?

00:19:13.000 They have no excuses.

00:19:15.000 They have no answers, Charlie.

00:19:16.000 What they're doing is just saying nothing.

00:19:18.000 I mean, think about it.

00:19:19.000 When was the last time the FBI or the Secret Service had a full briefing for the public where they actually went through their investigation of what they're finding and what happened on the day?

00:19:28.000 But they haven't done it.

00:19:29.000 They had a press conference, what now?

00:19:30.000 A month ago?

00:19:31.000 Two months ago?

00:19:32.000 Where they didn't answer really any questions.

00:19:33.000 They didn't reveal any new information.

00:19:35.000 They haven't briefed Congress in months.

00:19:37.000 But they shouldn't be briefing just Congress, they ought to be briefing the public, and they ought to tell us exactly, exactly what they have done to fix this.

00:19:46.000 To your point, Donald Trump, days away from becoming the nominee, former president, everybody knows he's going to be the nominee, shot in the face, we all saw it on national television, another good man killed, other Americans critically wounded.

00:19:58.000 They failed spectacularly, and so far they've done nothing about it, and Charlie, the only reason That we really know any of these details is because whistleblowers keep coming forward to me and other members of Congress, and I just want to say thank you to those whistleblowers, and if they're more listening right now, please come forward.

00:20:16.000 You're the only reason that we are getting any of the truth.

00:20:19.000 We're not getting it from the FBI and the Secret Service.

00:20:21.000 They are telling us nothing.

00:20:23.000 Just as a side note, Senator, and I want to keep getting into details here, isn't it remarkable how quickly the media has moved on from this entire story?

00:20:31.000 If Barack Obama was shot, by now there would be a Netflix special, a Hulu documentary, a five-part CNN series, Frontline would have been there.

00:20:41.000 There would have been ABC Nightly News broadcasting live from Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:20:46.000 They would have a 30-day remembrance at the congressional side.

00:20:53.000 We talk more about the JFK assassination.

00:20:55.000 Now, thankfully, this wasn't a successful one against Donald Trump.

00:20:57.000 Someone did die.

00:20:58.000 Just what's your commentary on how quickly this has been memory hold?

00:21:04.000 Well, they want to sweep it under the rug clearly.

00:21:06.000 And, you know, I'm afraid that I think that the FBI and the Secret Service do, too.

00:21:09.000 I think that's one of the reasons they're not doing any public briefings, that they're not releasing public information.

00:21:15.000 They just assume everybody move on and forget about it.

00:21:17.000 Let's remember, They still have not, the Secret Service still has not fired anybody over this.

00:21:24.000 You know, previous whistleblowers told me that the lead agent there in Butler that day was unqualified for the job, that this person was relatively new into the position, that the Trump campaign had previously complained about this individual not being prepared, and that they made all sorts of security errors on the day.

00:21:42.000 What's happened to that person?

00:21:43.000 Nothing!

00:21:44.000 Nothing.

00:21:45.000 Still on active duty.

00:21:47.000 So there has been zero accountability, Charlie.

00:21:49.000 There have been zero firings over this.

00:21:50.000 As far as I know, they're all still on active duty, all these agents, and they're just hoping that we forget.

00:21:55.000 And this is why it's so vital that we continue to press for the truth here.

00:21:59.000 You mentioned JFK.

00:22:01.000 You know, it's not acceptable that all of these years later, was it 50 years?

00:22:04.000 We still don't know the 60 years.

00:22:06.000 We still don't know the truth about the JFK assassination.

00:22:10.000 It is outrageous that we are trending in the same direction on this one.

00:22:14.000 We'll find the truth in 2095 or something, Senator?

00:22:18.000 Yeah, right.

00:22:19.000 Exactly.

00:22:20.000 That is the direction we're headed in.

00:22:21.000 Let's just be honest.

00:22:22.000 That is the direction that the Secret Service and the FBI are taking us right now, which is to hoard the information, to memory hole it, as you say, do nothing about it.

00:22:31.000 And then in 20, 30, 40, 50 years say, oh, yeah, well, actually, you know, here's what really happened.

00:22:37.000 But now it's too late to do anything about it.

00:22:38.000 It's just a piece of history.

00:22:40.000 For the sake of not just President Trump, but think about all of the people who attend, the good American civilians who attend these rallies.

00:22:49.000 People need to know they are safe when they are exercising their constitutional right to go and be part of the American political process.

00:22:58.000 I mean, what do we think?

00:22:58.000 If you go show up at a rally, you might get shot and it's just like, oh, well, you know, good luck to you.

00:23:02.000 That is not acceptable.

00:23:04.000 The President of the United States getting shot in the face is not acceptable.

00:23:09.000 And there's got to be accountability for this.

00:23:10.000 And Charlie, so far, there's been zilch. 0.95

00:23:13.000 Are you getting the indication or the feeling that not being forthright is now flirting with a cover-up?

00:23:20.000 Well, I will just say that when you refuse to answer questions, and listen, I don't know how many whistleblower letters I have now released.

00:23:26.000 I should go back and count them.

00:23:27.000 And I want to thank, again, all of the whistleblowers who have come forward.

00:23:30.000 We always protect their identities.

00:23:33.000 But, you know, I think about all of these people, all of the letters I've released, I have gotten precisely no substantive responses from the Secret Service Director of the FBI.

00:23:42.000 Zero.

00:23:43.000 I have also written Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of Homeland Security, because this is in his purview.

00:23:48.000 He has not responded to a single letter I have sent him with anything of substance other than just, oh, I got your letter.

00:23:54.000 You know, thanks.

00:23:55.000 I mean, this is outrageous.

00:23:57.000 It's been 50 some days since the assassination attempt.

00:24:01.000 At this point, all I can say is these people seem to have no interest in finding out the truth, in telling the public the truth.

00:24:11.000 We've just got to say, we're not going to let this happen on our watch.

00:24:14.000 We are going to protect our presidents, we're going to protect our candidates, and we're going to protect the American people.

00:24:20.000 And to your point about a budget, Charlie, I just want to pick that up for a second.

00:24:23.000 This isn't a budgetary issue.

00:24:25.000 We now know that this director, the current Secret Service director, cut back on active personnel who are in the field, right?

00:24:34.000 So it's not about not having the money.

00:24:37.000 If there are manpower decisions that have been made, that's because of leadership.

00:24:40.000 They need to answer for that.

00:24:41.000 Yeah, without a doubt.

00:24:43.000 And so I want to kind of pinpoint something here, though, Senator, is that no one was held accountable for the disastrous botched withdrawal of Afghanistan.

00:24:51.000 By the way, we just saw the Taliban with all of our equipment on full display. 0.96

00:24:54.000 No one was held accountable during COVID.

00:24:56.000 In fact, the opposite.

00:24:57.000 They all failed upward.

00:24:59.000 And I'm not optimistic anyone's gonna be held accountable here.

00:25:02.000 What you're saying is rather depressing and simultaneously infuriating.

00:25:07.000 Because, Senator, you're saying that they don't feel the heat from the legislative branch.

00:25:10.000 They just don't care.

00:25:12.000 That they just kind of shrug their shoulders.

00:25:13.000 They're almost taunting you, right, Senator?

00:25:15.000 Like, what are you gonna do about it?

00:25:17.000 We're the Secret Service.

00:25:19.000 You're not.

00:25:20.000 Is the only way to fix this with, in November, with wholesale executive branch change?

00:25:26.000 Because it feels as if this idea of checks and balances and co-equal branches of government, they just look at you guys as a peanut gallery.

00:25:34.000 Yeah, and let's remember the Secret Service is not a co-equal branch of government.

00:25:39.000 They work for the executive branch and they answer to the United States Congress.

00:25:44.000 They are funded by the American people and so they answer to the American people and the fact that they will not tell the American people what is going on, what happened on that day, who's responsible for it, who they fired, what they're going to do, nothing.

00:25:59.000 Just tells me that, yeah, they think that they can just go on with business as usual.

00:26:03.000 And I'll tell you what, when we had the one hearing, one, that the Senate has had on this, you made a great point a moment ago about if this had been a different president, think of the response.

00:26:12.000 One hearing the Senate has had on this, and you might remember, the sitting Secret Service Director got into a shouting match with me because I dared to push him and question him and bring forward the whistleblower information, and I didn't accept his boilerplate BS answers.

00:26:28.000 And he lost his cool.

00:26:30.000 And he hasn't said anything in public of substance since!

00:26:33.000 That was months ago!

00:26:34.000 I mean, these folks, we have got to get answers out of them, Charlie, or they have to go.

00:26:38.000 I mean, that's the bottom line here.

00:26:40.000 I don't have confidence in the current leadership of the Secret Service.

00:26:43.000 I don't have confidence in the current leadership of the FBI.

00:26:46.000 I don't know how anybody could.

00:26:47.000 And I, for one, am not going to vote for budget increases for these people when they won't tell us how they're using the money now, and clearly the decisions they are making are disastrous.

00:26:57.000 It does not give me faith in the structure of the executive branch, or just how our government is currently constituted.

00:27:06.000 The Constitution is supposed to have the citizens have a voice via the legislative branch, and just the indifference here is rather remarkable.

00:27:14.000 Is it because... Is it deep down... I know this is hard, Senator, and speculation, But these people hate Trump so much that is it sense because of Donald Trump they just don't care?

00:27:25.000 But they should also know that this could happen to one of their favorite politicians too, right?

00:27:29.000 Yeah, I think that on the part of the media, it's absolutely all about Trump.

00:27:32.000 They don't want to talk about this because they think that it makes Trump look sympathetic.

00:27:36.000 It makes him look like who he is, that he's strong.

00:27:39.000 We all saw his response when he was shot.

00:27:41.000 So the media doesn't want to talk about it at all.

00:27:42.000 I think with the bureaucrats, that could be part of it too.

00:27:45.000 I also think they just want to cover their backsides.

00:27:47.000 I think that they don't want any scrutiny on their agencies.

00:27:50.000 They don't want anybody pointing out that they failed.

00:27:52.000 They don't want to have to be accountable because the truth is they almost never are.

00:27:55.000 They almost never are accountable.

00:27:57.000 They never change.

00:27:58.000 And here they just want this to be swept under the rug and we'll talk about it in a decade from now.

00:28:03.000 And we've got to demand a change right now.

00:28:06.000 We've got to demand answers right now because the people deserve it.

00:28:13.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:18.000 Well, thank you for asking. 60 days to go. I tell you what, the money is absolutely pouring

00:29:24.000 in from outside the state of Missouri. Democrats are determined to flip Missouri. They want

00:29:28.000 to flip Texas and Florida as well to deny us control of the Senate.

00:29:31.000 And I'm confident President Trump is going to be reelected.

00:29:35.000 We've got to have a Republican Senate full of Republican fighters, conservative fighters, to be there with him to get his agenda implemented. 0.87

00:29:43.000 And to do that, we've got to win in Missouri.

00:29:44.000 So I tell you, between now and November, it is all hands on deck in Missouri.

00:29:48.000 And we could certainly, for folks listening, we could use your help.

00:29:51.000 We've got to bring home a victory there in order to retake the Senate.

00:29:55.000 We need to be very clear there.

00:29:57.000 Remember, Senator Hawley got his start by defeating a Democrat.

00:30:00.000 So yes, Democrats have been senators from Missouri back in 2018.

00:30:05.000 Defeating Claire McCaskill is one of the best victories of that 2018 cycle.

00:30:10.000 It was really amazing.

00:30:11.000 Senator, issues that are front and center of this campaign right now, inflation and, of course, immigration.

00:30:17.000 According to DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, there are 320,000 missing children, according to the Department of Homeland Security, coming across the southern border.

00:30:26.000 Your reaction to that and the indifference when it comes to Democrats to the amount of missing children in our country?

00:30:32.000 Well, what Kamala Harris has done is created the largest child trafficking ring in American history. 1.00

00:30:37.000 300,000 migrant children And I tell you what, Charlie, it's not as if these kids are, you know, sitting around and doing nothing.

00:30:46.000 They're being exploited along with American-born children in sex trafficking rings, in labor trafficking rings.

00:30:54.000 Every time that we, these traffickers, are able to get more migrant children across the border and into these trafficking rings, it puts more American-born children at risk.

00:31:02.000 And never before have our kids all across this country been so at risk from traffickers, from sex exploitators.

00:31:10.000 And that's because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

00:31:12.000 We have got to, number one, point out the truth on this issue.

00:31:15.000 Number two, we've got to shut down these rings.

00:31:17.000 And it begins with securing the border.

00:31:19.000 Close the border.

00:31:21.000 It is not hard.

00:31:22.000 We know what to do.

00:31:23.000 Donald Trump did it.

00:31:25.000 And we ought to be saying night and day, Kamala is responsible for what's happening there right now.

00:31:30.000 You're talking to voters a lot because you're in cycle right now and you're talking to your constituents.

00:31:35.000 Right now, Kamala Harris is trying to convince people she is not the incumbent, that she's the challenger, and that Donald Trump is the incumbent.

00:31:42.000 In fact, she says, we must turn the page.

00:31:44.000 Turn the page!

00:31:45.000 You are the incumbent!

00:31:46.000 Talk about this, Senator.

00:31:47.000 I think it's very important.

00:31:49.000 And I can't remember, did you serve in the Senate alongside Kamala Harris as well?

00:31:53.000 She was there for two years when I first arrived.

00:31:53.000 Yes, briefly.

00:31:57.000 And I almost never saw her because she was always off running for president. 0.95

00:31:59.000 You know, I mean, this is somebody who was, she was not at Senate hearings.

00:32:02.000 We were on the Judiciary Committee together.

00:32:04.000 And gosh, I think I maybe saw her, I don't know, two times, three times.

00:32:09.000 So listen, she, she is in power.

00:32:11.000 And I would just say this, if you like the border being open, if you like 15 million illegals coming across that border in the last three years, and if you want to give them amnesty and put them on Social Security and Medicare, And give them gold-plated, taxpayer-funded healthcare, then Kamala is your gal, because that's what she wants to do.

00:32:30.000 This campaign is about, who does this country really belong to?

00:32:34.000 Does it belong to the people, or does it belong to the crazy, nutty liberals like Kamala, who want to open our borders, who want to give away our most important commitments and programs to each other, like Social Security and Medicare, give those to illegals, bankrupt them by putting illegals on them. 0.90

00:32:50.000 And that's before we even talk about the crime, the drugs, the violence, That her border policies have brought to this country. 0.71

00:32:56.000 So I agree with her on one thing.

00:32:58.000 We should turn the page.

00:32:59.000 We should turn the page on her and Joe Biden.

00:33:01.000 And we have the chance to do that in November.

00:33:03.000 Amen.

00:33:04.000 Senator, thank you so much for your time.

00:33:05.000 Really appreciate it.

00:33:06.000 And let us know how we can help.

00:33:07.000 Thank you.
