00:00:41.040
five eyes those are the uh the five biggest western nations and their intelligence agencies
00:00:47.540
the five eyes they are now sharing information spying on us and trading information and there
00:00:55.080

piece this together uh as best i can um there's a lot of factors on this but i want you to listen
00:02:56.980
carefully uh this week uh this week you have the uh davos gathering and in davos the most important
00:03:07.360
thing this is above climate change and everything else is miss and disinformation the the president
00:03:17.240
of the european union just spoke at davos said our freedom comes with risks the top concern is
00:03:26.000
disinformation and misinformation as the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and
00:03:34.520
thinner the top concern for the next two years is not conflict it is not climate it is disinformation
00:03:43.200
and misinformation the global risk report says that addressing misinformation and disinformation
00:03:52.200
take priority even over extreme weather events war terrorist attacks and inflammation inflammation
00:04:02.260
inflation got it global warming is an existential threat terror attacks like what happened in israel and
00:04:14.760
war inflation which can collapse your dollar all of those things are now secondary to miss and disinformation
00:04:27.060
for the global business community the top concern for the next two years is not conflict it's disinformation
00:04:33.660
and misinformation the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner and it is more
00:04:40.540
important than ever in the era era of generative ai the world economic forum's global risk report puts
00:04:48.840
artificial intelligence as one of the top potential risks of the next decade but of the next two years
00:04:55.420
it's you they also called for a global regulatory body to oversee artificial intelligence in other words
00:05:03.760
artificial intelligence in other words take control of ai and digital id systems akin to vaccine passports it is
00:05:15.560
important she said to harness and guide this technology responsibly so what does all that mean
00:05:24.440
i believe that we are now measuring things in my world by days and months not by years
00:05:38.040
we are now looking at people labeling us me the daily wire anybody you trust as miss and disinformation
00:05:54.120
and it is happening in real time we told you a couple of weeks ago that our spy agencies and our
00:06:03.000
pentagon are in in uh in league with the five eyes and they are doing um misinformation disinformation
00:06:11.860
editing and also uh cognitive training so they are training the way you think by controlling
00:06:21.380
what you're seeing let me give you this story that just came out from the independent this is new today
00:06:30.060
climate misinformation is rapidly mutating across social media allowing nefarious actors to skirt
00:06:38.940
restrictions and continue to profit according to a new report with climate driven disasters now
00:06:46.120
impossible to ignore outright denials of climate change no longer hold up with most people that's not
00:06:53.800
true the people who believe in climate change the people who are believing that this is some sort of
00:06:59.880
disaster is actually going down it has less credibility than ever before in the murky online realm of
00:07:09.040
climate misinformation there is a shift in tactics that is in motion researchers notice that word
00:07:16.560
researchers analyzed analyzed thousands of hours of youtube content from the past six years
00:07:24.020
and found that old climate crisis denial which claims that global heating is not happening and burning fossil
00:07:31.480
fuels is not the cause is giving way to a new type of misleading content intended to muddy the waters
00:07:38.640
the report by the non-profit research group center for countering digital hate
00:07:45.520
this is the media matters if you will the new replacement i think for media matters it comes out of
00:07:53.840
england but there's also an office here in america we'll get into that on a later episode they found
00:08:00.400
that this new denial falls into a few broad groups that the impact of global warming or global heating
00:08:06.800
are beneficial or harmless the second group is climate solutions won't work and that client science
00:08:13.760
climate science and the climate movement can't be trusted those are all mis and disinformation
00:08:20.680
client scientists uh and uh author michael mann describes these new misinformation strategies
00:08:28.720
as the five d's of inactivism deflection delay division despair and doomism they found that videos
00:08:38.880
containing new denials doubled since 2018 on youtube in total there were more than 34 000 climate crisis
00:08:47.440
denial claims on 96 channels that were analyzed amounting to more than 325 million views the shift has been
00:08:56.400
rapid and stark as old climate denial narratives declined across youtube new denial has serves has surged
00:09:06.400
the later now accounts for 70 percent of climate misinformation on youtube while old denial has dropped 30 percent
00:09:14.880
the uh omrad omhead the ccdh's chief executive explained so this story from the independent has one source
00:09:23.840
and it is media matters if you will this new uh group that is trying to counter digital hate
00:09:34.080
there's been a clear shift in the climate misinformation on youtube in the last uh six
00:09:37.840
years blah blah blah mr ahmed said the new findings were somewhat optimistic because they showed that
00:09:42.880
scientists and activists have been successful in conveying the facts of climate change to people
00:09:47.840
climate advocates and policy makers must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle
00:09:54.800
necessary to deliver climate solutions let me say that word that sentence again climate activists and
00:10:03.040
policy makers must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate
00:10:13.920
climate solutions while climate denial trends uh were evident across social media blah blah blah blah the study
00:10:20.880
focused on youtube which is owned by google a platform that has formidable presence as
00:10:25.920
information resource for billions of people while at the same time um being able to uh reward
00:10:33.120
people on that channel using ai tools trained on climate denial the study found youtube is made up to
00:10:40.560
13.4 million dollars in revenue on videos espousing new types of climate uh crisis google's current
00:10:46.800
policies which are intended to demonetize and deamplify climate misinformation do not tackle the new
00:10:53.120
denial uh youtube continues to serve ads on old forms of climate crisis denial barred under its policies
00:10:59.840
google also announced in 2021 that it would stop monetizing climate crisis denial content
00:11:05.120
uh in a statement to the independent a youtube spokesperson said our climate change policy prohibits ads from
00:11:11.520
running blah blah blah blah blah however when content crosses the line into climate change denial
00:11:16.320
we stop showing ads on those videos the shift from older tropes on conservative outlet blaze tv to a brand
00:11:25.680
new climate denial the study analyzed videos made by fossil fuel lobby groups media companies and individual
00:11:33.760
pundits one of those highlighted in the report is jordan peterson a psychiatrist with 7.5
00:11:41.360
million youtube subscribers his channel typically takes the format of interviews with fellow climate change
00:11:48.080
deniers where posts have included titles such as the great climate con and the killing uh the poor to save the planet
00:11:55.840
the independent contacted dr peterson for comment blaze tv founded by conservative firebrand glenn beck
00:12:05.520
regularly features climate change denial the media company has also shared uh false claims about the
00:12:12.720
2020 presidential election along with hosting sandy hook conspiracy theorist alex jones in a video published
00:12:21.440
july 2022 and watched 71 000 times mr beck claims the biden administration is using the climate crisis as a cover for
00:12:30.560
government control and a great reset an online conspiracy theory that claims the global elite is trying to
00:12:38.880
dismantle capitalism and create a new social order they do not care about saving the planet they know climate change
00:12:46.640
is not going to kill millions around the world this is about gaining power and control over you
00:12:51.600
they are using this so-called emergency to justify a great reset mr beck said on the video the independent
00:12:59.600
much to my surprise has contacted blaze tv for comment the ccdh the center for uh this disarming hate
00:13:09.120
study found that in some cases youtube splits ad revenues with a channel reportedly paying 55 percent
00:13:15.920
to the content creator and retaining 45 percent the ads served on the new denial where major brands
00:13:23.360
like hilton hotels global charities save the children and international rescue committee
00:13:29.120
they called on youtube and other social media platforms to update their policies to keep up with
00:13:34.080
the new forms of climate crisis denial along with removing any financial incentives and reducing
00:13:40.720
their reach and visibility people have the right to post this content but do you have to reward them
00:13:47.680
with money and give them a megaphone they added we're not blaming google for not recognizing this
00:13:54.320
but we want to make some small changes to their policies don't record this don't reward this content
00:14:00.400
and profit from it let me ask you this when was the last time you saw russell brand in your feed
00:14:11.680
since he was destroyed um by smear tactics and do we know they're true yes did the bbc know they were true
00:14:20.720
back then yes did he say they were true you know that did he allude that yeah i was that kind of guy and
00:14:28.000
i'm not that kind of guy anymore long before the charges yes why is it that when he was all over
00:14:35.120
davos esg and the global warming thing why is it he cannot be found anymore he's still doing his
00:14:46.480
broadcast but you don't hear anything about him this is what i called about three or four years ago and
00:14:55.280
got hammered for it a digital ghetto that they were going to ghetto any voices they didn't it's what the
00:15:05.440
germans did to the jews look you have a right to be out and you know have your place and you can have
00:15:10.720
your say just behind this wall they were called ghettos and after they were not seen they could
00:15:18.080
easily be liquidated now i don't i hope nobody's thinking about liquidation uh however there is a
00:15:26.400
digital wall that is being built for voices that disagree reasonably and read things differently
00:15:37.600
than the governments want you to read for instance elon musk elon musk this uh digital hate organization
00:15:45.840
do you know who they're after their number one threat is elon musk if you care about global warming
00:15:52.240
why would you go after elon musk because they care about countering hate you see and elon musk won't play
00:16:00.480
their game by the way our disinformation the one that we were called uh all kinds of names for
00:16:12.320
liars dangerous liars we told you that um the laptop of hunter biden was real
00:16:22.240
did you know that just yesterday the department of justice has acknowledged hunter biden's laptop
00:16:30.080
content is legitimate for the first time yesterday now who is engaged in disinformation
00:16:40.640
the government or us by the way the january 6 videos from capitol hill prove now the blaze has
00:16:51.760
proven it that the capitol police officer lied in the oath keepers trial and he wasn't the only one
00:17:00.640
and we have released the video have you tweeted it have you put it on instagram is it trending anywhere
00:17:11.760
or is that too being suppressed because it's misinformation even though the video shows it to be
00:17:33.040
there's a story out is corporate esg investing over here's my answer no it's just going to change
00:17:42.160
names and they're going to do what they always do how about this story from reason the fiscal hawks were
00:17:50.160
right about debt and interest rate we are told that there is financial disinformation that those who
00:17:58.800
disagree with what the government is saying that we are a danger to you because we disagree with them
00:18:07.440
how about covid did you know that fauci just last week finally admitted that that
00:18:18.080
wasn't a conspiracy theory that it came from the chinese labs that that wasn't
00:18:23.760
missing disinformation who lied to you the government or us by the way new story out
00:18:29.920
today from the new york post covid 19 strain kills 100 percent of infected mice in a new chinese lab
00:18:38.480
study they're still doing it who's lying to you us or them world leaders met this week they're still
00:18:49.200
doing it to trash through thrash out a plan to protect against disease x which they say is a coming
00:18:55.840
pandemic and they need all kinds of power by the way open ai ceo altman was at davos he said future ai
00:19:04.240
depends on energy breakthroughs but we all know how dangerous ai is we all know it we've watched the
00:19:11.920
movies it's the elites that want control of it that's one of their objectives this week at davos
00:19:18.880
to control it and at davos the microsoft ceo said there's nothing that cannot be controlled by humankind
00:19:29.840
basically let me translate we are gods there is only one god the god of abraham isaac and jacob
00:19:39.920

00:21:10.400
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:21:18.560
our overlords are meeting in davos to plan our future and it sounds great the number one priority
00:21:26.160
is not global climate change uh it's not wars it's not inflation it's not food it's nothing except
00:21:35.360
misinformation and disinformation and they're trying to get all the global leaders to come together on
00:21:41.760
this and make sure that voices quite honestly like mine and uh and the blaze and uh people like ezra
00:21:49.360
levant from rebel news up in canada are silenced um yesterday um at the conference there was a um a
00:21:58.560
meeting on how do we shut these people up and the uh head of the center for democracy and technology
00:22:05.440
his name is alex reeve givens he said there's something bizarre happening in america listen to
00:22:10.480
this even as we're living in this heightened threat environment a number of the social media companies
00:22:15.520
have actually been scaling back their investments in trust and safety in particular around elections
00:22:20.240
and those that are still keeping up the work are facing more political scrutiny and pressure
00:22:26.160
to disband those efforts than ever before so in the united states for example right now we have
00:22:31.360
congressional investigations and lawsuits against people that study missing disinformation about
00:22:36.480
elections on social media platforms there is currently an injunction in place stopping the
00:22:41.600
biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about interference threats on
00:22:47.040
the topics of elections that's actually going before the united states supreme court this year
00:22:51.920
so we're in this bizarre environment where right as the threats are ticking up the investments uh in
00:22:57.520
actually doing the the day-to-day work of online trust and safety for our information environment
00:23:02.640
is being scaled back and is under attack and those are all things we need to recalibrate right now
00:23:07.680
to try and address the threats yeah sorry i thought for sure that alex uh identified as a man but
00:23:12.800
apparently uh he's now identifying as a woman uh it is bizarre that we don't want government i mean it's
00:23:18.880
just out in our constitution but other than that don't worry about it uh we have ezra levant who is on
00:23:24.560
the ground in the cold right now at the world economic forum in davos uh how are the hookers ezra
00:23:33.840
i'm the wrong guy to ask but my uh a friend of mine did a story um of how every single escort within
00:23:40.400
100 miles was booked up yeah by the world economic forum they're good people they're good people
00:23:47.040
you know what this is a place of excess let me give you an example there's a small private airfield
00:23:52.480
about an hour and a half away from here and i went there to film the private jets landing uh and
00:23:57.760
the airport told me that 150 private jets per day land at this airstrip just for the world economic
00:24:05.840
form they say that one week basically pays for the entire year that's like a that's like a city
00:24:11.840
of half a million people that's how many flights might be there in an average day and it's more
00:24:16.080
than that there's not enough room to park 150 jets at the small airfield so they fly in drop off the vvip
00:24:23.360
then they fly out to another airfield to park and then they come back to pick up their person so i mean
00:24:30.720
and then many of them take the helicopter for that last one hour drive because god forbid
00:24:35.200
they'd be on the streets with the peasants that's the kind of luxury you see here um but they're the
00:24:41.200
ones telling us to reduce our carbon footprint they're the ones telling us not to fly as much
00:24:46.080
but let me tell you what we're doing here we are not accredited journalists we applied and they
00:24:51.200
obviously rejected us and that's fine so we can't get into the sessions like the one you just played a
00:24:56.400
clip from but we're on the streets in this town of davos which is like a ski resort high in the alps
00:25:02.880
and it's full of uh i'm not going to say celebrities but sort of political celebrities and because they
00:25:09.840
feel like they're amongst friends and it's so hard to get here they let their guard down so just standing
00:25:15.920
on the street and reading name tags i mean some people you can recognize like yesterday i asked some
00:25:21.520
questions of john carey about his private jet today my colleague abby asked dr tedros of the world
00:25:27.600
health organization some questions so these people don't have big entourages and the swiss police have
00:25:33.280
a very light touch penny pritzker was here and i asked her some questions about harvard and so there's
00:25:40.400
no way you would get this kind of access in almost any other place and like i say the cops here are so
00:25:46.080
gentle they have not stopped us from scrumming anyone yesterday i walked with the president of
00:25:52.960
the bill and melinda gates foundation for 10 minutes straight peppering him with questions he did not
00:25:59.200
have any answers but boy i asked my questions and and that video has been viewed a million times
00:26:05.440
overnight glenn it's i i tell you it's a crazy place where the masters of the universe get together
00:26:12.320
to make the rules for the rest of us and there's only about half a dozen citizen journalists here
00:26:18.960
the rest of them are regime journalists who pay to be here as official delegates so i i saw for
00:26:25.520
example richard quest from cnn i think he's a great journalist 90 of the time by the way but we scrummed him
00:26:31.680
going in there and we said how come you only ask softball questions of klaus schwab well it's because
00:26:38.000
cnn paid a quarter million dollars for them to get in as sort of a member you're not going to stink
00:26:43.760
up the joint if you're if you got the golden invitation so i don't know i might pay i might pay
00:26:50.320
for that i might write the check to go and have all of them come on my show well i mean they might kick
00:26:59.680
you out if you do that yeah by the way i'm standing on the promenade and a huge bunch of military vehicles
00:27:05.920
are passing through i'm not sure if that's just normal switzerland stuff or if that's because
00:27:10.800
vladimir zelensky's in town um and emmanuel macron is in town and the secretary general of the united
00:27:17.280
nations in town these aren't just vips they're v vips and v v vips and they let you know it so what is
00:27:26.720
what is the main thing you've taken from this well look there are some people here who are just here to
00:27:34.640
sell products and services uh because there's so many politicians and wow there's such a military
00:27:40.960
convoy going through the downtown here i don't even know what's happening maybe zelensky's on the move
00:27:46.720
i've i just wanted to tell you that i'm live from the promenade in in davos right now and i just
00:27:52.960
it's like a whole military not a parade but a series of big trucks it imagine juxtaposing that with your
00:28:00.560
uh five-star celebrities anyways the number one message as pro schwab says is information they say
00:28:08.400
their theme this year is rebuilding trust which because they know they've shattered trust with
00:28:13.520
ordinary people over the last few years whether it's covet or lockdowns or junk science or inflation
00:28:19.680
or immigration or whatever so they they know they have to fix trust but at the same time they believe
00:28:25.840
in censorship i scrummed a few different officials with meta and my colleague scrumming uh an official
00:28:32.400
from google just a minute ago and all our questions are about are they trying to strangle free discussions
00:28:40.400
in the year of the 2024 elections every one of them is aware of trump's victory in the iowa caucuses
00:28:46.160
and i'm talking about people around the world this is not just americans this is a very international
00:28:50.080
is my understanding that yesterday a lot of the discussions at davos uh centered around this is
00:28:57.600
a real threat to our agenda we this absolutely this can't happen if you were to take a poll of the vvips
00:29:07.360
here at davos uh 90 of them would be against trump not necessarily for biden they're just for anyone who
00:29:15.440
who won't upset the international order that they've established here um and and so i mean
00:29:23.200
basically these europeans and these globalists and these elites want to have a vote um without
00:29:29.840
having a vote here's what i mean for example claus schwab uh recently said ai is so progressed we don't
00:29:35.600
really need elections anymore because ai can figure out what the people want i've seen wef presentations
00:29:41.840
about how ai artificial intelligence can replace courts and judges because you just enter all the
00:29:48.800
data and they'll just replicate what a good judge would do so the room for political bias in artificial
00:29:54.480
intelligence i'd say those are the two emphases i can see just on the streets here censorship of quote
00:29:59.840
misinformation and artificial intelligence when you combine those two things and i tell you you're in
00:30:05.120
a brave new world right there so um ezra i want to i want to talk to you about uh one thing that came to
00:30:11.440
my attention yesterday there is a story in the independent climate misinformation is mutating
00:30:17.600
on youtube and the platform is profiting and it is a story that mentions two people uh one of them is
00:30:25.760
me and the blaze and the blaze i guess is making money from youtube uh because they're not canceling us
00:30:33.920
and uh putting us where we belong which is nowhere because we are discussing things like uh
00:30:41.040
climate crisis denial content we also uh we're talking about the um uh the last election and saying
00:30:51.360
that the last last election had many uh uh questions behind it the great reset an online conspiracy
00:30:58.880
theory that claims global elites trying to dismantle capitalism and create a new social order which they
00:31:03.920
are um and the other person was jordan peterson now they're they're targeting us through google and
00:31:14.000
facebook my facebook page is down 95 in the best year i've ever had including the years at fox never
00:31:22.880
had a bigger footprint than now but facebook is down 95 why the other thing the other part of it is
00:31:31.760
is yeah go ahead that's deliberate they're trying to demonetize you we scrummed jonathan greenblatt the
00:31:38.960
head of the adl and we asked them why have you tried to kill advertising on twitter but never on
00:31:46.240
tiktok and they wouldn't answer that and so that's what they're trying to do to you and jordan peterson
00:31:51.440
and by the way they're trying to invent new quote crimes i saw the phrase eco side being bandied about
00:31:57.760
here so the same way you couldn't be a skeptic or have a contrary point of view on covet vaccines
00:32:03.840
they're going to do the same thing for climate they they basically telegraphed that that's their plan
00:32:08.800
well um one of the one of the disturbing things they they did this last year to russell brand
00:32:15.600
you don't even see him anymore he's still doing a podcast but he never shows up on anybody's feed
00:32:20.160
when's the last time you saw russell brand in your feed um the well i i seek him out but you're
00:32:25.200
right they're trying to kill him financially correct and the next thing is jordan peterson he lost in
00:32:31.440
court yesterday uh his appeal on having to go to some sort of a uh re-education camp because he said
00:32:41.520
and this is a quote the uh the woman who was obese uh on sports illustrated bikini was not beautiful
00:32:50.640
it was sick and now he has to have re-education yeah and that's it that's in some ways a lot
00:32:59.040
scarier the world economic forum is a bunch of people coming up with bad ideas but they don't
00:33:04.320
actually have the legal or judicial power to enforce them the trouble is all the vvips here go home and go
00:33:12.240
home to their legislatures or courts or businesses and implement it back home but the wef itself doesn't
00:33:17.440
have the power to do that right here in davos but what you're talking about what happened to
00:33:21.600
jordan peterson that was a real court and the college of psychologists of ontario um is a
00:33:27.200
regulator that has the power to deny someone their profession now jordan peterson doesn't take any
00:33:32.080
patients anymore he he hasn't in many years but they're trying to destroy his professional
00:33:36.640
reputation again the college is there for doctors who are abusive or who you know take advantage of
00:33:42.960
their clients or what you know it's it's a professional organization to make sure that
00:33:47.040
psychologists in ontario are ethical they're using that for lawfare to silence him on completely unrelated
00:33:54.800
matters and it's not just atrocious that they're meddling with his political views it's their sentence
00:34:01.440
to him their command their order to him is that he basically go through a political re-education
00:34:07.680
i mean he has to go to some i don't know for the phrases a coach or a or a remedial
00:34:14.720
social media class or whatever the chinese call it it's still a uh re-education session and and here's
00:34:21.760
the struggle session yeah struggle say and here is oh my struggle wonder who used that um the the other
00:34:29.200
thing though that is disturbing is they are trying to scare doctors into silence they have already purged
00:34:36.640
all of the doctors that would say something about the covid vaccine um the nurses all of them anyone
00:34:43.200
with a conscience that's different than the state they're purging them that's very dangerous as you
00:34:49.840
know what jordan peterson is the most famous psychologist in all of canada he's also wealthy
00:34:57.200
and in some ways very influential and maybe even powerful so if they can do this to him imagine what
00:35:02.880
they can do to you this is poor encourage les autres this is to scare everybody else yeah they
00:35:08.880
want to shut up jordan peterson i don't know if they'll succeed that guy doesn't shut up easy but
00:35:13.280
what they're going to do is terrify a thousand other psychologists and doctors and nurses you know
00:35:19.760
there happens to be another nurse in uh the canadian province of british columbia who sponsored a sign
00:35:24.560
that just said i heart jk rowland like that's all she did and they took her before the professional
00:35:30.640
association for the same sort of thing and and so how many nurses how many doctors how many
00:35:37.040
people of any profession are being terrorized into silence and it's all part of the same cultural
00:35:42.640
marxism or wokeism hey you know yesterday i scrummed the president of state street do you know what that
00:35:48.080
is it's like blackrock it's a huge asset manager and i and i asked him and that's that's what it's like
00:35:53.840
here in davos you never know who you're going to bump into and i said to him aren't you putting your own
00:35:59.440
politics ahead of your fiduciary duties to uh to your shareholders like you're you're i said you're
00:36:06.480
promoting esg environmental and social governance basically cultural marxism i said how can you do
00:36:12.480
that and and claim to be his response shareholders well he said we're doing both he said we're not
00:36:20.000
going to stop with esg but it's shareholder value right and then i pressed on a little bit and quickly
00:36:26.960
and he and he and he and he wouldn't talk much more yeah but uh that's what davos is like at the
00:36:32.240
world economic forum thank you so much ezra levant from uh from rebel news up in switzerland right now
00:36:39.440
with the elites this is the best of the glenn beck program and don't forget rate us on itunes
00:36:49.040
todd benchman is uh with us he is the author of the book overrun he's also at the center for
00:36:57.360
immigration studies he's a senior fellow there todd what really happened uh in eagle pass over the
00:37:04.480
weekend well i mean this is typical uh we have had a lot of drowning since the biden administration
00:37:12.880
opened the borders and started in inducing people from around the world to come to it
00:37:19.200
the migrants that they're talking about here the intending illegal aliens drowned upstream floated
00:37:27.920
down and then got blamed on uh you know usually texas department of public safety um this is not the
00:37:36.080
first time this has happened uh and and they drowned before texas took charge of that piece of property
00:37:44.160
where they just seized it and and kicked out all the border patrol uh because the border patrol was there
00:37:51.280
uh with a field processing station that was in just irresistible lure to thousands to just kind of
00:37:58.240
pour through right there from piedras negras so uh texas decided to at least remove and deny that piece
00:38:05.600
of property any longer to the border patrol so uh keep in mind that there is context to this
00:38:14.000
just a few weeks ago uh there was video taken by a border patrol agent uh he thought that he was
00:38:21.760
catching texas dps uh boat marine forces in the act of denying aid and assistance to drowning migrants
00:38:30.400
right there at eagle pass also uh and put that out there and it created this firestorm and an
00:38:36.800
investigation and accusations that texas was uh letting people drown when actually they were saving
00:38:44.640
those migrants and did save those migrants and um there was also another case a couple months ago when
00:38:53.520
remember the river barrier glenn where they put the the floating river barrier in there well a couple
00:38:59.840
of migrants floated down to it from upstream and the first thing the administration did and also uh
00:39:07.360
democratic congressmen lawmakers everybody made a huge stink out of it is say that they drowned on
00:39:13.280
that river barrier that texas put up that cruel and inhumane river barrier and just a little investigation
00:39:20.320
it didn't take much showed that they had drowned upstream and floated down and one of them got
00:39:24.880
hung up on it but they didn't drown on it and so this is just typical of this sort of you know
00:39:32.640
disinformation campaign i think it's the way you put it uh that the executive branch is engaging in
00:39:39.520
right now in its war with texas uh everything that you hear about texas dps should be taken with a big grain
00:39:48.400
of a big rock of salt uh about uh what's going on because they're in a war uh it's a federal state
00:39:56.160
war they're it they're in war with each other where texas is trying to shut down and deter and block
00:40:04.720
illegal immigration into texas uh the federal border patrol agents are under orders to let everybody in
00:40:13.760
and so there's this sort of war going on that's why they took that piece of property and they the texans
00:40:20.160
have done other things too and it's not just a physical uh dispute uh it's a legal one too and
00:40:28.320
lots of court action going on between these two parties so are we actually slowing anything down
00:40:34.720
no uh in fact i have a piece up today it just broke at cis.org it's the only reporting you'll see
00:40:45.840
like this anywhere uh where the biden administration has cut a deal with the obrador administration in
00:40:55.840
mexico and mexico is actually getting aggressive on blocking illegal immigration through
00:41:04.640
its territory now for the first time in really aggressive new ways they're rounding them up
00:41:10.960
at across from eagle pass and putting them on buses and uh shipping them to the south to tapachula to
00:41:19.120
the southern provinces they're flying them they're put they're busing them they are blockading on their
00:41:25.200
side now they are bulldozing migrant camps they are shutting down all of those cargo freight trains for
00:41:33.520
the first time in three years uh that that the immigrants have been using and the reason that
00:41:38.640
they're doing this is because remember just a few weeks ago biden uh and blank and went down there and
00:41:45.600
and and had some shuttle diplomacy mayorkas went on a second trip on the 27th and then everybody came back
00:41:54.000
and and and zipped their lips didn't tell us what the deal was we still don't know what the deal was but we
00:42:00.640
know there was a deal now because of what mexico is all of a sudden doing they've shut down the flow
00:42:08.400
they've the mexicans have slowed the flow from 14 000 13 000 a day in december to four and five thousand
00:42:16.880
a day now which by the way is still catastrophically high but this can only be said to be being done right
00:42:24.800
now uh through the december they're going to try to do this through december of this year past the
00:42:31.200
american election because they do not want those thousands of migrants under news cameras uh that
00:42:41.040
they were getting uh terrible visuals and optics across the country in december you remember this yeah
00:42:48.160
uh and that's really what the point of this is so i mean they can do it when they want to when it's
00:42:54.000
politically uh feasible we we don't know what they paid the mexicans uh i guarantee you it was not uh
00:43:00.880
some small payment mexico was asking for 24 billion dollars uh you know for itself and some of its um
00:43:09.920
friends down there so something happened uh but be aware of that todd when we when we first uh
00:43:17.920
we started talking about this massive migration up north we talked about it may have been 2017
00:43:26.480
2018 when that first caravan came up and we did research and found that it was being organized by
00:43:34.640
uh some of them uh some of them out of chicago but now we have evidence uh stunning evidence that
00:43:43.040
doctors without borders the uh un um the red cross are actually printing maps and showing people in south
00:43:54.080
and central america how to get here this is clearly a i hate to use this word but it's the best word a
00:44:02.880
conspiracy to overflow our borders is it not it's absolutely accurate to say that those ngos lots of
00:44:14.640
ngos there are actually hundreds of them on the south of south of the border all the way into south
00:44:20.560
america and on our side of the border all the way up to chicago and new york that are involved deeply
00:44:28.560
in moving that traffic along facilitating it supporting it doing everything possible to
00:44:35.280
make sure that nobody would ever feel deterred or go home uh they they i've been there i've i've watched
00:44:42.720
them personally watch them and videotape them handing out cash debit cards uh handing out you know cash based
00:44:52.320
assistance assistance for hotels and buses for uh prescription drugs for baby formula for everything
00:45:00.640
all the way down there um i i have reported and written in the past not that long ago uh that the
00:45:09.760
number for 2023 was on the order of 450 million dollars in you in funding for this what they call cash based
00:45:19.120
intervention uh this year uh this year i'm looking at the documents i'll be writing about this next
00:45:24.800
week it's 540 million dollars where is that coming from where is that coming from it's online they publish
00:45:33.040
it uh i i can uh direct you to uh my no no i mean where is that money coming from who is behind this
00:45:43.760
oh the u.s treasury that's coming that's the u.s taxpayer money the u.n gets most of its money from
00:45:50.480
the united states uh and then it passes through and is distributed by u.n agencies to the ngos and
00:46:00.400
the documents that i'm writing about actually name them all it's got a big list 248 different ngos for
00:46:08.480
2024 keep an eye on my reporting i'll have a piece out on this next week but you're right it's it's
00:46:16.560
happening uh now they would couch it is uh the u.n i've interviewed them and they say well you know
00:46:24.320
they're coming anyway so we need to save them from you know all the dangers out here uh but you know
00:46:30.720
republican lawmakers look at this in a very different way and i think that it's valid uh that this is aiding
00:46:38.480
an abetting and it's material support for illegal smuggling oh yeah oh yeah um when you have that
00:46:45.680
report out calls back we'll put you on the program because i'd like to pursue this uh further you know
00:46:51.520
all people just think oh this is just happening no this is all well financed and coordinated uh and uh
00:47:00.160
it's not just happenstance that it's happening it's not todd thank you so much appreciate it
00:47:07.200
good to be here thank you bet the author of overrun and senior fellow for the center for immigration
