David Zier
This is an Iheart podcast. Welcome, everybody. You're watching Breaking Point on Real America's Voice News. Thank you for joining the RAV family. Join our chats, Facebook, YouTube on X and then go to Getter. Go to Real America's Voice on Getter and you can join in with the great people who follow the show every Saturday morning at 8am Eastern. And listen, what's going on is crazy out there. You know, the shutdown. You know, these Democrats voted on this stuff five times already and it was approved under Biden's time. So this is all a joke. This is all designed to get through to October 18th with the shutdown, I think with the no Kings rally, so Schumer can claim his rightful role as the leader of the Democratic Party instead of AOC getting up on the stage and dancing or whatever she wants to do so. And listen, Bad Bunny, another Jay Z production team special of America hating people. And you know what's worse than Bad Bunny, like Trump said, is these new kickoff rules in the NFL coming. But I have a great show today. We're going to get into the thick of it with Antifa and ice. I got the great Ben Berquam. We got great on the show today. And I want to welcome right now, though and bring in Scott Walter. He's the author of Arabella, the Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America. Welcome to the show, Scott. Thank you for joining us.
- [01:45]
Scott Walter
Great to be with you.
- [01:47]
David Zier
Yeah, it's great to have you. I've been interacting with Antifa for many years. Other people in the network, like Ben Berkrand, have been assaulted by Antifa, been verbally assaulted. They never hit me yet. But look what they did to Andy Ngo right in the streets. A liberal Democrat reporter, gay reporter. They beat him, right?
- [02:10]
Scott Walter
No, it's horrible. And I'm rereading Andy NGOs excellent book on Antifa. Unmasked myself right now.
- [02:17]
David Zier
Yeah, it's crazy what's going on in the streets of America. They're fermenting revolution. That's what they want. That's why these types, they killed Charlie Kirk, they shot President Trump, they tried to kill him again. There's a lot of things going on here. Now, your book focuses on dark money trails with Antifa. Can you tell us about it?
- [02:40]
Scott Walter
With Arabella? Yeah, Arabella is probably. None of your listeners may have ever heard of them. But to give you just a quick example, in the 2022 election cycle, those two years, their nonprofit took in 3 billion Republican and Democrat committees combined by hundreds of millions of dollars. So that means they're succeeding in being dark. Right. Because most Americans have never heard of them. And it's a half a dozen nonprofits that support hundreds of little fake groups. Another thing they do, since you're in the media business yourself there, this just got leaked out by Wired magazine a few weeks ago. Arabella is making offers to left wing social media influencers of up to 8,000amonth. Right. If they will toe the Democratic Party line. So they have their fingers in a lot of things.
- [03:37]
David Zier
Yeah. So I followed the Trump trial, the hush money trial in the city. I was in the courtroom every day pretty much along with Ben Berquam, you know, antifa on the streets in New York at the same time protesting. And what was going on in the city was Alvin Bragg, the DA only prosecuted like 7% of the violent crimes, I think, in his first year in office and was getting money from groups like Colors of Change, I believe, via Soros. Can you tell us a little bit about some of these connections?
- [04:12]
Scott Walter
Sure. As a friend of mine puts it, the left has groups of groups and networks of networks. Right. One of the reason for all this complexity is, is first it makes it just hard to talk about. Right. People's eyes start glazing over when you start mentioning so many groups and funders and pass throughs and all. But the other thing is to hide the money. Right. You can't easily find the money trails when it gets this complex and group to group to group. So that is definitely part of why they do it. And obviously the hardcore antifa folks actually beating up Andy Ngo and folks like that, that's at the end of a very long series of entities. And most of the people in between are not probably carrying brass knuckles. So that means they may or may not have legal responsibility for the worst of the violence, but they have moral responsibility for it. Right. They have created this atmosphere of nihilistic lust for violence. And the best proof of that is, you know, when you have Charlie Kirk shot, when you have the insurance executive shot, you don't just see the antifa types out there on social media, you know, celebrating the bloodshed. You see like, you know, teachers and insurance salesmen and ordinary people who've been corrupted by the left cheering the violence, even though they themselves never pulled the trigger.
- [05:44]
David Zier
Yeah. And some of this money has come from foreign entities. You talk about Hans Jorgjorg Weiss, I believe, from Switzerland and different organizations and NGOs, the tides fishing Network, Neville Ray Singham and his network. Johan George, I don't know how to pronounce that. From Switzerland. Right. And these guys, some of them are billionaires. And this foreign cash coming into the.
- [06:12]
Scott Walter
U.S. yeah, I'll give you another name. Christopher Hone H O H N. He's a British billionaire. He is one of the biggest backers of Extinction Rebellion, which has literally had thousands of arrests in. I've lost track of how many countries. Britain, United States and elsewhere. They're the kind of folks who I may get. Don't trust me on the details, but the kind of enviros who throw paint on priceless paintings and, you know, glue themselves to the streets. And what I mean, in London alone, in four days, there were over 1,000 of them arrested.
- [06:47]
David Zier
Yeah.
- [06:47]
Scott Walter
You know, that is ugly. And if you have that kind of violence, are you shocked if it goes up the next notch where people die? I'm not.
- [06:55]
David Zier
And what's Riot Inc. Oh, yeah.
- [06:59]
Scott Walter
Well, I believe, I think that my friend Peter Schweitzer may have come up with that term at the Government Accountability Institute. Peter's wonderful. And it's his name for this whole nexus of groups and funders and radicalisms, you know, college professors. Yeah, it is an ugly thing. You said it earlier and you got it exactly right. These people hate America, desperately hate America. And some of them, their hatred turns to bloodshed.
- [07:29]
David Zier
Do you see a link where DOJ can create, you know, a link for RICO violations?
- [07:39]
Scott Walter
So I don't know that RICO is necessarily the best legal means to do it. There probably are simpler means. You know, simply, I mean, from the nonprofit law standpoint, a NonProfit is a 501c3 charity or a c4 political group, like, you know, the NRA or League of Conservation Voters. They can't have law breaking as part of their mission. That's not something you get tax privileges for. So at a minimum, these places are breaking laws, and they shouldn't be able to keep their tax exemptions as they spend a good bit of their time breaking laws, even if they're not actually killing somebody.
- [08:18]
David Zier
And all my time with the network traveling to almost 40 states, Secret Service and Trump Security and retired military have always told me that they see these guys in the airports around the country, especially during George Floyd. They're kind of like field commanders and they fly from city to city and sometimes they see the same people going from city to city. And I know it's hard to make a hard link connection to their involvement or if they're in fact paid, but looks like they're very organized. We have about a minute left. Tell us where can people find your book and where can people follow you on social media, give you the last word?
- [09:01]
Scott Walter
Thanks so much. The book is Arabella and you can anywhere you get books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, anywhere else you can buy the book. And then let me urge your viewers, viewers you want to go to, capitalresearch.org is my think tank that is responsible for that book far more than I am. And also influence watch.org influence watch.org it's our online Wikipedia of the left. I just warn you, you lose five hours going down the rabbit holes the first time you land on that site.
- [09:33]
David Zier
Yeah. And you know my co host Ben Berkwam has been assaulted. They gave him stitches. Andy Ngo, they did, you know, brain injury to him. And I've been in the mix with these guys, haven't been physically assaulted yet, but pretty much shoved around and you know, told me I was responsible for destroying the Western world by bringing disease blankets from Europe or whatever the hell they were telling me. You know, it was like nonstop. But I want to thank you again for coming on and what can we have you back, Scott, because this is going to heat up.
- [10:05]
Scott Walter
Love to be back anytime.
- [10:06]

David Zier
2 to 5pm Eastern only on Real America's Voice. Hey, everybody, I'm David Zier. Thank you for joining the Rav family today. Trying to bring you the best coverage and the truth. What's going on in the ground. Listening to real American voices around the country. And Trump's doing that, right. These independent journalists, you know, they're putting everything on the line. Guys like Nick Sorter and all these great independent guys out there. And you know, we got Ben Berkwam is the top border correspondent there is, and he's all over the place, you know, telling the truth about what's going on. And here to discuss the Trump Roundtable with independent journalists and other items going on, Director of research for the Government Accountability Institute, Seamus Bruner. Welcome to the show, David.
- [13:00]
Seamus Bruner
It is so great to be with you.
- [13:02]
David Zier
Yeah, crazy times. Have you ever thought it would come down to this, you know, where if it wasn't for a handful of brave independent people in the streets telling the truth, we might not be getting the truth from the msm? Right? Tell us about the roundtable.
- [13:21]
Seamus Bruner
Yeah, that's right. You know, each person there with really myself excluded has put their life on the line, going right into the fray, catching a lot of fists and kicks and, you know, getting bloodied just to report the truth on Antifa and all of these other radical organizations because they changed their name and they shift their branding. So, you know, Antifa is just kind of one of them. But there are so many other radicals out there who believe that violence is an acceptable way of getting their political objectives. That's not the case, Donald Trump. And that is what, you know, most left wing organizations like the Brennan center, that's how they define terrorism, is using violence mostly against civilian targets, but also government targets to achieve political objectives. So Donald Trump has declared that ANTIFA is a domestic terrorist organization. That designation, it's a tricky thing to carry out because it's, you know, on the one hand, ANTIFA is organized. It has dues and members and funding and all of these things. On the other, you can shed the label pretty easily and just say, well, no, I'm not Antifa anymore. But really what the designation does is it opens up a whole, you know, toolbox of tools for the administration to use every agency, whether it's Homeland Security, the doj, the FBI, treasury, the irs, they can really start to unpack what exactly is Antifa? What is this ecosystem of organized political violence and how do we tackle it? And so I really, truly believe that we are at the precipice of an end to what we've called Riot, Inc. Riot Incorporated. We think that there's a whole. Like any company, Riot Inc. Has its foot soldiers, of course, like Antifa, but it's also got a marketing and a communications division. It's got lobbying divisions and government affairs divisions. It's got a legal division that would be like the groups like ACLU and the National Lawyers Guild, which bail these violent criminals out of jail as soon as possible to get them back onto the streets. And so it is a lot bigger, I think, than the administration or at least a lot of people all across the country realize. It is a huge network. It's not just the violent, you know, criminals on the ground. And by declaring Antifa a domestic terror organization, really what it does is it's going to allow for prosecutions for things, federal prosecutions for things that were previously just state and local prosecutions. So these, these, you know, rioters, they would get arrested and then the Democrat Blue Cities would, the prosecutors would let him out of jail with slaps on the wrist, if that.
- [16:18]
David Zier
Yeah.
- [16:19]
Seamus Bruner
Now when you get federal charges, you're going to be locked up.
- [16:21]
David Zier
Sure. And the Government Accountability Institute, you know, you just named the people involved with a lot of these organizations. I think we know a lot more now than we did in the past. And you're talking about millions, hundreds of millions of dollars even coming from Switzerland and other place and taxpayer money. US Taxpayer money, right?
- [16:45]
Seamus Bruner
Yeah, that's right. So at the Government Accountability Institute, we follow the money. That's, that's really our M.O. and so we followed it all the way to the top of the protest industrial complex. And so what we found is it's not just Soros. Everybody says, you know, Soros, it's Soros funding these guys. It's not just Soros, of course. It is him and the Open Society network that he has. And now his son is, is going to take over Alex Soros, but it's also the Arabella funding network. And for those who haven't heard of Arabella Advisors and its funds that it advises, like the New venture fund, the 1630 fund, the windward fund, there's a whole at least seven of them that fund all kinds of aspects of this professional protest industry. And so that's, that's, you Know, the Arabella Network, the Tides Network is a big one. And then you've got the Ford foundation and the Ford Network, and one of the really, you know, scary ones is the Neville Roy Singham Network. And this is the People's Forum and Code Pink. And this guy is living in Shanghai, funding chaos in our streets. And so what we've done is we have totaled up all of the money that the Soros Network, Arabella Network, Tides Network, Singham Network, etcetera, have provided to Riot, Inc. And the numbers are staggering. It's over 100 million. We're finding more all the time. I just got back from Washington, D.C. and we found $10 million more coming from these guys to the radical agitators and enablers of civil unrest. And then, yeah, to the question of government funding. People would be shocked to learn that their taxpayer dollars, our taxpayer dollars, are going. These big NGOs like the Tides Network and the Soros Network, they all receive tens of millions of dollars in some cases to the point where we found over $100 million. And we were very careful to make sure that an entity that received government taxpayer grants and funding then in turn did go and fund some of these civil unrest enablers.
- [18:59]
David Zier
Yes.
- [19:00]
Seamus Bruner
And so that over $100 million that's going directly into Soros or, you know, Tides type entities that then go and fund civil unrest. So really shocking stuff.
- [19:13]
David Zier
Yeah, it is. Is. You know, I covered the nyu, I mean, the Columbia protests and some of the NYU stuff. I was in the mix with the anti ICE protests outside of Federal Plaza in New York City. I was getting bounced around out there, but thank God the police took the gloves off and they cracked down. But there weren't any Hispanics, prot. It was all, like, white girls from, like, Dix Hills, New York, and, you know, a couple of black guys, and they all had the shmatas on and everything. But I've seen a lot of the same people around the country at these events, from Washington D.C. to New York City. And, you know, security's always told me, you know, guys who work to protect Trump and stuff, that they see the same people traveling around US Airports going from the. The city du jour. Right. There's an organized network.
- [20:02]
Seamus Bruner
That's exactly right. That's exactly right. And, you know, one of the things that a colleague presented yesterday at the roundtable, and it comes from the Capitol Research center, who are good friends of ours, this report titled Infiltrated. And it's how all of these antifa types, these radical Marxist types who want to overthrow Our country, they have infiltrated the homeless industrial complex. The homelessness thing, which gets a lot of government money and what that allows for is one, it allows for diverting money. But what a couple of guys, you know, told me yesterday, who they actually are on the ground in Portland and in Seattle and Chicago at these anti ICE demonstrations is that they're using that there are mentally unwell, which goes hand in hand with homelessness, homeless individuals living in these encampments, et cetera, that are being flown around. They don't have the money to be flown around. And so this is like exploitation of people with mental health issues. It's really, really sick stuff. So it's not just diverting taxpayer money that should be going toward solving homelessness, it's also exploiting the homeless themselves.
- [21:12]
David Zier
Yeah. I would go further and say that a lot of the 20 year olds, male and female, on the street, who are college graduates or students are mentally ill because they can't hold the conversation. What's going on is just vile. It's vile.
- [21:29]
Seamus Bruner
Well, and there's, and there's, and there's one more thing, David. Mental, mentally unwell people are perfect for attacking ice, attacking, you know, federal buildings and causing chaos and unrest because then the judge lets them out because they're, you know, on a mental health issue. So they're not like held responsible for the actions because they. Complete insanity.
- [21:52]
David Zier
Wow. Okay, so we have about a minute and a half left. I wanted to ask you, where can our viewers follow you and get involved? Because the Government Accountability Institute is really putting the pieces together and I know you did a lot of work with Peter Schweitzer, right?
- [22:07]
John Reed
Yeah.
- [22:07]
Seamus Bruner
Yeah. So you can follow Peter Schweitzer. He's my dear friend and colleague. I've worked with him since 2011. He's eterschweitzer on Twitter. I'm shamusbruner. S e a M U S B R U N E R and that's where we, we drop a lot of stuff in real time. We also have a website, it's called the drill down.com thedrill down.com and then my book, I cover a lot of this stuff. It's titled Controligarchs. It's the word control smashed together with the word oligarchs. Controligarchsbook.com and there's chapters on Soros and all the rest of these big funders.
- [22:46]
David Zier
Okay. Really, really important stuff. And, you know, for so many years, I'm happy that it's kind of coming to this. And I'm Happy that, you know, Trump is there because he's putting it together, right? You guys, everybody out there, the independent journalists, you're putting it, and Peter Schweitzer kind of started this train moving years ago by exposing Clinton cash and all the other stuff, right? So it's so great to have you on the show, Seamus Bruner, I really appreciate it. Can I have you back?
- [23:16]
Seamus Bruner
Yeah, absolutely. I look forward to it, David, thank you. I've got another interview at 5:15, so I gotta jump. Thank you.
- [23:22]
David Zier
Thank you, Seamus. Appreciate it, everybody. Seamus bruner, they're doing extraordinary work and they're really getting to the root of what's going on because we always talked about, oh, there's gotta be Soros money. Oh, colors have changed. They funded the DAs and the ADAs. But now, now there's proof that there's multiple NGOs, foreign money, even US taxpayer money going into the hands of people, mentally ill people, homeless people, whoever they can get their mitts on to sow chaos in the streets of America. And this is what it is. They're fomenting revolution. They want a civil war. Trump's not going to let that happen. We're going to enforce the. Welcome back everybody. You're watching Breaking Point. Unreal. America's Voice news. So exciting. We got the anniversary, 250th anniversary of the United States Marines. Catch all our coverage today on Real America's Voice. So much going on out there in the world. It's heating up. It's heating up. But Trump has victory after victory here, including the Gaza deal. So, you know, I interviewed the families of the hostages, you know, in Israel and it was just so heartbreaking listening to the stories. I interviewed the cousins of the five month old, the nine month old and the four year old that were kidnapped and are dead now. And you know, this thing would have ended a long time ago. All they had to do is return the hostages. We know they're playing around Hamas, they know they got the heartstrings of Europe who hates Israel. So hopefully this will be the beginning of some lasting peace over there. Let's see where it goes. You know, Iran's been neutered a little bit and their proxies and Hezbollah, Hamas isn't, doesn't have that Islamic state support that they once did. So we're going to follow everything going on very, very closely. But I want to bring in our next guest. He's the candidate for lieutenant governor for John Reed. I want to welcome back to the show. John, how are you?
- [25:41]
John Reed
I'm great. We're counting down to November 4, Election Day. One of two states with statewide elections, New Jersey and Virginia. And I'm feeling really good. The latest polls show that I'm tied up with my opponent, which means I got to work double hard to beat her because the Democrats have so money. But I'm okay with that. I'm ready to work.
- [25:58]
David Zier
26 days to go. Right, and you started early voting.
- [26:03]
John Reed
Oh yeah, we started early voting. It's ridiculous. In Virginia, the Democrats stuck us with this 45 day plan crazy of early voting. So get this, people who voted on September 19, when all of this started, didn't know about the texting scandal about, you know, threatening to kill members of the General assembly by one of the key Democrats running statewide for Attorney General. So they cast their vote with a different basis of information than the people who are voting today. And I think that's one of the real problems with this 45 day voting system that the Democrats did. I know why they did it. They're trying to harvest ballots and wheel, you know, old people from nursing homes in who probably don't have a clue what they're about to vote. But this is a practical problem and it's revealed itself.
- [26:52]
David Zier
John. I had people on the ground in Wisconsin covering Trump rallies up in Kenosha, coming up to me on the tarmac at Trump rallies, telling me that their parents, they had guardianship over their parents and they wound up voting for Biden in the election and they weren't allowed to vote.
- [27:04]
John Reed
Can you believe it?
- [27:05]
David Zier
So we know that goes on. We know that goes on. And what's really scary here, I hate early voting. You know, what if somebody's embroiled in a major scandal eight days before the election? Right. So outside of a military and if you're disabled or so I think it should be outlawed. But that's just my opinion. Tell me about the key issues going on. Godzilla, Hashmi, your opponen in the race is doubling down on, you know, men and women's locker rooms. I covered Loudoun county, as we talked about in the past down there in Virginia. Parents are outraged. Is it going to hurt her or help her?
- [27:43]
John Reed
Oh, I think it's going to hurt her. I mean, parents are not on board with this. You know, she's the self proclaimed leader of the progressive wing of the Democrat Party in Virginia, which means that she is leading the charge on the things that are most unpopular with the average voter in Virginia. Boys and girls, sports, men in girls locker rooms. I mean, I think most People, even if you wouldn't normally vote Republican, are gonna say, I gotta protect my mom if she goes to the spa. I gotta protect my wife if she goes to the gym or goes to a public restroom. And I certainly am gonna protect my underage daughter from being abused, molested, or even, you know, losing a spot on a women's athletic team. I mean, this lady is pushing the most extreme ideas in America here in Virginia, and we're gonna hold her accountable for her. People are not gonna go for that.
- [28:36]
David Zier
Sure. And, you know, the left is always talking about how they're the tolerant ones, and it's just the opposite. They've been vicious to you in the media. Right. Tell us about, you know, what's going on.
- [28:47]
John Reed
Oh, oh, well, the latest thing is that now I'm an Islamophobe, right? I'm a Nazi. So the guy who. I'm a Nazi. That was last week. I was a Nazi last week and a white supremacist the week before. Even though I'm a gay guy in an interracial relationship for the last nine years, apparently I'm a white supremacist. Okay, Whatever you guys say, I mean, it's absurd. And they keep throwing this garbage out there, and I think people have caught onto it. Like, every week, it's a new slur or smear or slam against the one guy who's out every single day doing television interviews. I don't turn anything down. I put almost 100,000 miles in my car meeting new people. We don't have private events. We open our events to people. So the lady I'm running against, Ghazala Hashmi, who is a Muslim, I mean. I mean, okay, that's just the truth. Why are you so sensitive about someone bringing that up? People have asked me every day since I announced about how a gay man who's a conservative will interact with evangelical Christians. And I haven't thrown a fit about it. I've talked about it. Why am I not allowed to say, hey, is it not legitimate to ask you how you will deal with the push for Sharia in American jurisprudence? Is that an unfair question?
- [30:08]
David Zier
You're not allowed to ask the country. You're not allowed.
- [30:11]
John Reed
You're not allowed to ask it, or suddenly, you're the bad guy? Oh, I don't accept that.
- [30:15]
David Zier
But they would be. But they would be castigated in an Islamic society, you know, for being gay. And, you know, I covered, you know, many, many Trump rallies on the road. And, you know, I never forget. I interviewed, you know, A lot of gays for Trump up in New Hampshire. And these guys are like the most brilliant, intellectual guys, you know, you ever met. And then you got Don Lemon out there saying that white men are the problem with America, and he's. And he's married to a gay man. So, like, there's such a double standard, right?
- [30:45]
John Reed
Yeah, I mean, it really is a double standard. And one thing about me as a candidate is I'm not intimidated by any of this. I've been in the public sphere most of my adult life. I was on television. I had hosted a talk show. I've been a relatively provocative person, not because I'm outrageous with what I say, but because I'm clear, unlike most politicians. I'll tell you exactly what I think. I will back it up with data and logic. And people can't tolerate it. They can't stand it, especially when they're leftists who are led by emotion and figure they can always get out of it by playing victim. That doesn't work with me not tolerating that.
- [31:21]
David Zier
So, John, we have two minutes left. I'll give you the floor. What are you going to do for the people of Virginia, and are you going to continue the policies of the current governor, and what are you going to do for the people?
- [31:35]
John Reed
Well, Glenn Youngkin has done an exceptional job of bringing in business and new employment in Virginia, and the Democrats are determined to crash that. They want to get rid of our right to work status, which will force employees to join a union, even if they don't want to. It'll force them to take money out of their paycheck. Once the employees understand that and that this isn't going to benefit them, I think they're going to vote Republican. I want to make sure we protect the right to work. I want to make sure that we bring in new businesses from overseas and out of state. We're competing with Tennessee and North Carolina and South Carolina. Love my friends there. But I want us to win in Virginia, and I'm going to stop some of this crazy cultural rot that's happening. The trans movement that we already talked about, I think DEI is sowing the seeds for future racist engagement. We don't need that. We should judge people based on their ability to succeed and the results that they deliver. And, you know, when I talk to people all across the country, I'm a really unique candidate. It. I'm the guy who's going to go to the Capitol and be responsible. I want to be reasonable. I want to be respectful to other people. If you're respectful to me. I'll be respectful to you even if we disagree. And most importantly, I want to be fair. And the Democrats do not want to be fair. They want to win. And they will do anything they have to in order to win. That's not my attitude. We can find commonality and I'm going to try to seek that.

We'll be right back with more Breaking Point on Real American Voice News. Welcome back, everybody. You're watching Breaking Point. Just remember before you download, Zach Bryan next song. He's the same guy who defended Bud Light, you know, and it's time that he gets Dixie Chicked. That's what I say. Really crazy what's going on in this country here. But I want to bring on a friend, co host for many years here on the network, Ben Berkwam. How are you, sir?
- [36:43]
Ben Berquam
Doing great, brother. Great to be back with you.
- [36:45]
David Zier
Yeah. So I know you've been everywhere. You're getting embedded with ice. You're, you're on the streets. Really crazy. Tell us about, you know, your latest experience up there in Portland and Seattle.
- [37:01]
Ben Berquam
Well, first we have to remember what ICE is doing. ICE is going after the illegals that Joe Biden let into our country.
- [37:09]
David Zier
Yeah.
- [37:09]
Ben Berquam
And going after the worst of the worst first. And I've been on multiple ops all over the country, and every single one of the guys that we've gone after has had a major, a lengthy rap sheet. Most of them have felony convictions. They are not good people. The last one that was actually at in Chicago, this guy had been charged, convicted twice on major felonies. He was thought to be involved in several homicides. He was a part of a Latin gang in Chicago. And we sat out there on surveillance. They had been surveilling him for days. I was there. And within minutes, you had these La Raza leftists start noticing our vehicles. They started making their phone calls. There's this rapid response network in Chicago. It's all over the country. And its entire purpose is to obstruct ice. They ended up surrounding our vehicle. I had to get out and expose what they were doing. But because of what they did, it burned our location. And that criminal illegal is still in Chicago at large because of their actions. That's what they're protesting. And so when I was in Portland last week, it's the same thing. So you have these crazy communists that are working with these LAZA groups and these NGOs all working with the Democratic Socialists of America, aka the Communists, to undermine ICE's efforts to remove the worst people in our society who have no right to be in our country. That's who they're trying to protect. And I witnessed the ICE be attacked multiple times. Thankfully, I also witnessed a bunch of these little scumbags get their butts kicked and arrested and, you know, hauled off like spoiled little children dragged across the floor, which is how they should be treated. But these are terrorist organizations. They're not just terrorist organizations. They're terrorist networks operating within our country to undermine our country from within.
- [39:01]
David Zier
Yeah, there's no doubt that it's complex. Foreign money, dark money, NGOs. It's really highly coordinated. And you know, we've covered so many Trump rallies together. I remember the security telling me, you know, we fly around the country and we see the field marshals in the airports, especially during George Floyd. It's like the same guy, I'll go to Chicag, a guy in Baltimore, he'll go wherever, right? Wherever they're told to go, right?
- [39:29]
Ben Berquam
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's. This is like, you know, you're playing whack a mole with these guys. They're all over the country. And what's crazy is so you have some of them that are homegrown within their communities, but then oftentimes they'll travel. They're basically like, you know, traveling terrorists that will travel around our country whenever something kicks off. You know, it's getting hot in Chicago, so they all go to Chicago. It's hot in Portland, so they all go down to Portland. This is a coordinated effort, but behind the scenes on all this. You know, you see Antifa, you'll see these La Raza groups, but the reality is it is that money you're talking about. So when we were covering the so called Palestinian protests in Colombia and nyu, well, a lot of that money was actually coming from the CCP, through the Confucius Institutes into those organizations to undermine America. So you have the CCP working, you have Iran pumping money into these organizations as well. Now you have this unholy alliance between Antifa, blm, La Raza, Hamas, all of these groups that hate America, that are operating together and they're getting covered by the mainstream media, they're getting protected by the mainstream media. They're getting promoted by professors at universities and by politicians in our own government. You have AOC and Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who are basically enemies of the state who are operating in our country in our own government. So you talk about the danger that this poses to our country long term. If we don't root this cancer out of our society, it's gonna kill us from within.
- [40:59]
David Zier
Yeah. Even the Atlantic and Politico admit that there's, you know, these networks funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in here. I wanted to ask you. So this is like, you know, philosophical kind of problem for our students. You know, they get these radical teachers. So my daughter's a criminal justice major at USC Columbia South Car, and I think she's got some liberal professors. So she comes back at me when I say, hey, they closed the border. Hey, you know, Biden lost 300,000 kids, you know, under Trump. It was less than 10,000 in the first term. And, you know, you know, it was a couple of hundred actually. And then they've already found 10,000. No matter what I say, they always come back with like, oh, they're deporting innocent people. So my question is, how do you tell a young person. And you know, because a lot of these people signed up on the CPP1 app. Right. They already got rid of that relocation program via the flights. But these people signed up to be. They were invited in by our government. What do you say to the young people of America?
- [42:01]
Ben Berquam
Yeah, look, I always start by saying I don't blame illegals for taking advantage of what we offered them. Joe Biden and the Democrats said, come on in. And really it's just another form of modern day slavery. What we had under the Democrats, they said, come on in, we'll take care of you. They all made money doing it. And then now you've got those same people that are. ICE is having to go back after. Now the reality is ICE is targeting their efforts to the worst of the worst. They actually have a website you can go on and track the worst of the worst. It's ice.gov wow. Something to that effect. But just look up worst of the worst ICE and you'll find it and they'll show you who they're actually going after. Now if you're an illegal in this country and you come into ISIS contact and they figure out that you're here illegally, it doesn't matter what you, you know, if you're a good person, you just got invited in by Catholic charities, they're still Gonna deport you. I mean, that's their job, is to deport illegals. We were at one operation, a criminal warrant was served on one house. Well, they found five other illegals living in that house. Two of the other illegals that were in that house, this was down in San Antonio, but two of the other illegals living in that house also had felony warrants out for them. So. But the other three ended up getting swept up as well because they were in the proximity of illegals. But the efforts themselves are targeting specific individuals. And if they happen to find others that are there illegally, they're gonna pick you up. No non illegals are being deported other than children. Now, if you're a parent, you say you're here, you're a husband and wife, mother and father, and you're getting deported. Well, of course you're gonna take your with you if you're a good parent. Those kids may have birthright citizenship, which needs to go away, but that's the only people that are getting deported. And technically the kids aren't getting deported, they're just leaving with their parents who are getting deported. So this idea that we're deporting American citizens is just a lie that just does not happen. The checks along the process, the level of scrutiny that's given to every single person that's picked up, the due process, the left always likes to use that. They have multiple court appearances. They get to go in front of an independent, independent judge that isn't overseen by ice. Many of these are leftist judges. They get to go in, plead their case, they can appeal it if they get ordered removed, they can appeal it again if they lose the first appeal and eventually they get a final order of removal. At that point they get, they're getting sent out of the country. No non illegals are getting deported again, unless you're getting deported. And of course you're going to take your kids with you unless you're a terrible parent.
- [44:40]
David Zier
What's the craziest thing you've seen in the last couple of weeks on the ground?
- [44:49]
Ben Berquam
It has to be what I started the story with. The fact that we are there in Chicago in a neighborhood going after a suspected murderer and we have this network that is designed to obstruct ice and they blew our cover and they got away with it. The fact that these guys aren't getting arrested immediately and they are starting to do that. ICE is starting to get authorization to arrest these people that get in their way and that needs to happen. But the fact that we have individuals in Our country who are openly supporting, protecting criminal, illegal aliens. That's why the question I always ask is, well, you know what crimes are bad enough? You want to keep the molesters, you want to keep the rapists, you want to keep the murderers. You tell me which ones we keep, or you just want to keep them all. That's the question that every one of these protesters needs to be asked. You know, but the fact that they're able to do that, and there's networks like this across our country, it should shock every American.
- [45:44]
David Zier
Yeah, I know. I saw your interview. I aired part of it last week with the Seattle ICE Commissioner. You know, if they would just let him go into the jails, they wouldn't have to be out on the street.
- [45:54]
Scott Walter
Right?
- [45:55]
Ben Berquam
That's exactly right.
- [45:56]
David Zier
A mutual friend of ours, Pastor David Lowry, was saying that people are claiming that in Chicago, they're arresting people, they're dropping the level of the crime they committed, and they let him out the back door after they commit violent crimes. So ICE can't get them. We have a minute.
- [46:12]
Ben Berquam
So we've got. Yeah, so we've got evidence of that, that the DA's are actually. And this is even giving special preferential treatment to illegals above what a normal criminal would get. They're reducing or dropping the charges entirely to try to obstruct ice. But you're right, they wouldn't have to be going into these communities to pick up these illegals if ICE would. If the jails would just work with ice. But unfortunately, these sanctuary communities, these sanctuary jurisdictions don't. And so they release them out the public. But again, even giving preferential treatment to illegals above other criminals, I mean, that's how crazy this has gotten.
- [46:48]
David Zier
Yeah, well, Ben, nobody exposes the truth like you do at the border and north of the border, you know, and, you know, it's a sad state of affairs. I'm concerned about next summer for the midterms. I think things will really heat up. But thank you. Where can people follow you on socials?
- [47:06]

- [47:24]
Ben Berquam
My pleasure, brother. Appreciate you.
- [47:25]
David Zier
Take it easy. Wow. You know. You know, you got to break it down, right? They're not just going after everybody and if you're here illegally, it's okay to be deported. You know, if you were in another country, they do the same thing to you. So we got to get a grip here in the United States. I'm David Zier. You're watching Breaking Point. Thank you for joining us. I have another great show for you next week. The Virginia governor's race, only 26 days away. You know, just everybody get involved and do your part. I'm David Zier. Thank you. Thanks.
