And that's taking place now. We all know that one of the main things that Trump ran on was shutting down the border. And there is no doubt that we have seen that he has militarized the border. Border crossings are down like 80 something percent. And we've just entered into this place like, okay, we, we stifled, we stopped the flow, the endless flow of illegal immigration that we all saw over the last, you know, know, four plus years and even, you know, prior to Trump's first administration and through the Obama administrations, this massive influx, you know, and if, if it, if any, any person with common sense can recognize that the Democratic Party initially realized, they said, listen, you know, our base and our coalition of groups are starting to really kind of polarize with each other. The ideological aspects, aspects of these groups are not so much in line, and being able to keep them together is more difficult. And I also believe that over long periods of time, with any one particular party in power, the natural backlash is a rise in the other party. And I certainly believe that we saw a significant rise in that conservative traditional mindset to get back to the corporate core ideologies of conservatism. And I think, you know, what we're seeing now is the results of those years and years of years of mass immigration. So how can we better understand the position we're in? Again, one of the main things that we want to do and the features that we want to offer you on this show is to be able to consolidate all this information and help make sense of it. And that's what we're going to do. All right, so first let's just get into a historical evaluation of, of, of America and Mexico. Now, you have to understand that prior to Mexico being a Mexican independent state, right, Mexico was, was a Spanish colony. So when they talk to us and say, you know, hey, we're on stolen land, uh, don't forget the Spaniards that were the ones who stole it from Nav. Native American first, and then you had Mexican independence and then they took it from the Spaniards, and, and as a result of, of our manifest destiny, we ended up taking it back. Right. You know, the first part of this was, was in Mexico with Texas. Right. And you had, you know, the famous Alamo, the Texas Revolution, if you will, which was from 1835 to. And where we had Anglo settlers rebel against the Tejanos under Mexican rule, sparked by Santa Anna's Repeal of the 1824 Constitution in attempts to enforce centralized control. Key events included the Battle of Gonzalez and the Siege of Alamo in March of 1836. Now remember the Alamo. I, you know, what I always love is when I do go down to Texas and I have the opportunity to go, I love going to see that and thinking about what, what it was like for those hundred plus men to face 3,000 Mexican troops. And man, they, they held their own like true, true Texas champs, man. And you know, I always think of myself as a wannabe Texan after the time I spent, you know, on with Marcus down there doing the the Team Never Quit podcast and all my Texas brethren out there. I love you guys, you know. And Texas declared independence after that March of 1836. Now you know, the Texas annexation was very think, you know, unique at time in American expansionist history. They had this independence for about a decade and then finally, you know, we were able to, you know, bring Texas into the fold as, you know, and they were a slave state and that caused a bunch of controversy. But we brought them in and actually added a tremendous size advancement to American colonies and what that looked like and what America, the sheer size of it. You know, what was interesting is that Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, you know, they kind of pushed, pushed the issue down the road until Polk came into power as president and then was admitted as the 28th state on December 9, 1845. Now, you know, some of those political drivers, certainly Manifest Destiny that, you know, the US believed that North America was primarily, you know, it owned it, it was part of its, its, its overall political and ideological components, right? The, the entire area, you know, and I think Mexican American revolution relations had deteriorated, especially because of Texas's revolt against Mexican. And you know, I think it, it, there was no stopping us from deciding, hey, we want California too. You know what was interesting, California was also part of Spanish colon colonies with a very large, a very limited number of Mexican people that had existed in that area, whether it was mission work or whatever, you know, you know, as we began to really, you know, send settlers west into California, you know, the, the California trail. By the 1840s, hundreds of Americans were living in Mexico or in California and maintaining their US loyalties. You know, one of the things that you had to realize is that as we began to settle in California, we began to see all these benefits, whether it was having a seafaring port in San Francisco so we could trade across the Pacific. And then certainly the Gold rush absolutely helped Americans kind of flood into those areas. I think it was something like 300,000 settlers moved out to California during the California Gold Rush. But it wasn't until the Mexican American War of 1846-1848, which was essentially led by John C. Fremont and staged the Bear Flag revolt in June of 1846. You know, it was really important because we were like, hey, California is a viable interest to our national security, to our national expansion, to all the different types of things that were going to benefit us from a financial perspective. And so, you know, U.S. forces ultimately secured the control of California and signed by January of 1847, signed the treaty of Kawahuanga. Is that how I say it, Jordy? Kahuanga, dude, I got no clue on that one. And then it was the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1848, you know, and it, and the Mexican American War ended. Now here's a kicker and this is a lot of what you're seeing in some of these, you know, reporters. Nick Shirley I think is the best guy on the ground doing incredible reporting to these protests that had been going on in LA and going on, you know, and I really believe that, you know, this. Mexico lost 55% of its land mass. So 50 over half of Mexican territories were seceded or taken or conquered or however you want to rationalize this. Now again, I always try and point out that human history, to the victors the spoils and to those who've lost their land, man, there's nothing more unfair than that. But that's just kind of the way things work. I wish it wasn't that. I wish there was a lot more fair disputes. Now you also gotta know that the president of Mexico at the time did take $15 million from the US and we canceled a bunch of it. We took over a bunch of its debt. And so they didn't go away empty handed for sure. But you know, that is a component of what you're hearing in the riots and what you certainly have heard from a lot of the ideological people that are supporting these riots. You know, California statehood was a pretty phenomenal thing. Really kind of exploded that, that, you know, head west, go west, young man. Or Horatio Alger's famous quote. I think I just butchered that by the way, Jordy, you know, and the idea of that manifest destiny. Now the interesting California came in, they were non slave State. And so that created some more tension that ultimately led into the, the division of, of the United States, the Civil War. But gaining Texas and California was a massive part of, of America and, and our ability to become what we are today. And so, you know, those two annexations represent really the greatest landmass capture that the United States has ever or has ever has ever dealt with. Now why do I tell you that? Because it's critical for you to really begin to understand, you know, that a lot of, a lot of the ideas behind the border is, is relative to, you know, finding the, the, the land of the free and the home of the brave. It's the American dream which draws people into our country, right? We used to say, you know, whether I was at, you know, in the soft community or in the intelligence community, man, everybody wants that shiny blue passport. And why do they? Because, you know, it's, it's quantifiably proven that your ability to have a brighter future in America is unlike almost any other place in the world. Now all these people out there that are socialists, you know, they want to take the Pepsi Challenge and say, well, socialism is much more, much better than capitalism. And you know, you always say, well. And I actually I saw someone interviewed on the street and they said, well, you know, what are you looking for? And they're like, we, well, we want to burn the whole thing down. We want socialism in America. Socialism works. And the interviewer like always says, well, can you give me an example where socialism has worked? And the guy repeated, well, in the first four years of the Bolshevik revolution, socialism was fantastic and it worked. And then there was always the proverbial, but then it didn't, right to the tune of 65 million people. Now you can take a step back and you can go and you can look at what's essentially been happening, I think throughout south and Central America, right? With a few exceptions, obviously. El Salvador is, you know, that guy's running that place. He's all about capitalism. He understands rule of law and order. You know, there are some people that do suggest that they did empty out their jails and their insane asylums and got rid of all their nasty people, or once he started putting, putting all these gang members in jail in force, I'd wanna leave there too, if I was a bad guy for sure. And then there's Paraguay, right? I had a good friend and pretty high up at the agency who is in the know. And Paraguay is a democratically leaning country that really needs our support right now. And a whole wave of socialistic countries just overriding and overwhelming central South Americ. I mean, look at Venezuela. Venezuela was one of the wealthiest nations in the Americas. In both North America and South America, they implemented socialism. Now they've got a dictator who just recently just completely threw out the elections, imprisoned people that was up against him. We saw that take place with Lula and Brazil. We saw that take place in Colombia. We've seen it now in Mexico. There's a socialist president in Mexico and we just saw her on TV or the Internet just two days ago at or a few days ago, advocating for the mobilization and the pushback against the overreach of the American government and ICE informant of illegal immigrants. You know, and then you had another person who is the head of the Mexican state senate, also advocating holding up an actual map, an 1812 map, saying this is what was stolen from us. So there is without a doubt a political influence that has overwhelmed central South America. And that influence is caused a tremendous amount of immigration or migration, if you will. Because if you type in immigration challenges or whatever, a lot of the stuff that comes up, they won't even respond. It's migration, it's asylum seekers, it's political asylum seekers, all of this. And I think, you know, once you evaluate the ideologies of these countries and what has taken place, there's no doubt that people that are living under a pretty oppressive regimes, no matter where they are, whether it's Haiti, whether it's Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, you know, wherever Mexico itself, with the cartel influence and violence, you know, and you know, that's a whole nother aspect of this that is substantial as well too. And I'll talk about that at the end. So what do you have? You have this recipe that just, you know, explodes this thing. You have a U.S. government saying, you know, by the people in power, hey, we want you here to the tune. Where mayorkas and the Obama administration basically just suspended all immigration laws and said, doors open, come on in, we want you to the tune. I mean, some people say it's 10, 11 million, some people say it's 20 to 23 million. I mean, I don't think we can even fathom the amount of those numbers. Jordi, would you look up numbers of, of, of people that we were able to register starting 2020 to 2024 and then got aways it too. And let me know when you get that. Yep. Thank you, brother. All right, so you have radical ideologies overwhelming central South America, people fleeing, wanting to get away. You have the US government saying, hey, come on in we want you because we need you as our new electorate. We added you into the consensus. So we're gonna get more seats in the House. Right, but really, the voting base and all you want to. You really want to understand that is look at the states that received the greatest amount of immigration. My favorite one throughout the whole thing was when DeSantis and Abbott started busing these immigrants to blue states. And my. My favorite, hands down, was when they sent all those immigrants or illegal immigrants up to, what was it, Martha's Vineyard? And the whole town revolted. And, you know, yeah, we want immigrants. It's what the backbone of America was built on, you know, and all this stuff. And then as long as they're not in our. In our. In our areas to devalue our home prices. Right. Yeah. Shopping, you know, it's. It's. It's unbelievable. Got those numbers if you want them. Yeah. What are they? Yeah. So looks like it's re. A reasonable estimate. It's hard to know exactly, but 12 to 13 million migrants between 2020-24. 2024. And in terms of gotaways, looks like they're saying about one and a half. One. One point. What, 1.6 million or so? 1.6 million got away. So. Well, let's call it. Let's call it 12 to 15 million human beings easily. Okay, so when you have that level of people that are coming in to the country, let's just, let's just put the national security part over here, right? Let's just put that. How many, you know, Chinese, you know, adult military age males that we saw. Let's put the Hamas groups that have come out, the Hezbollah groups, the ISIS groups, the. The Taliban groups, the, you know, the. Whoever else, whatever your flavor of. Of terrorists or, Or. Or criminal trend. The Venezuelan gangs, Mississippi, 13. Let's just put that large clump of people and, and everybody's like, well, man, they're. The overwhelming majority are. Are peaceful people. I'll give you that. And let's just call. Let's just say. Let's just say 10%. Jordy, you're the mathematician, bro. What's 10% of 12 million? What? 120,000. So let. Let's go. Let's just say maybe 120,000. That's 1%. Sorry. Sorry. That's 1%. Yeah. So let's just say 1%. Yeah. 120,000 people that are terrorists, criminals, psychopaths, you know, murderers, rapists, child traffickers are in the country. Like, that's okay with you? I guess that's an army. That's an army of people, right? All you got to do is look at the boom by incident. Look at October 7th in Israel. You know, it doesn't take that many people to completely disrupt and destroy local cities, towns, municipalities, put the government, you know, on high alert, put people, you know, live in constant fear. And that's, that's something you have to allow to, to percolate in your mind as you're assessing all of these things. Now, listen, if you got heartstrings for those young kids, then why are you not calling your senator and congressman right now about the 340,000 missing children that have come in under that time? Now, we all saw the kids in cages under the Obama administration. We saw AOC going down and cry in front of the detention centers. But nobody's crying for the 340,000 missing children right now. And what have happened? Have they been trafficked? Are they sex slaves? Are they dead? You know, have they been sacrificed for their organs to be sold overseas? And this is all real stuff taking place. Where, where are those children? All right, so when you start to think about all this, what emerges from these? And this is where the things start becoming diabolical. You're great at protecting your own personal information.

When you're jumping out of a perfectly good airplane in the middle of the night, chasing two ducks into the middle of the ocean, you better believe you're scared.

Being able to embrace that fear in order for you to find purpose in life. All right, enjoy. So what did I. Where you go when you start to examine all this, you immediately go to the NGOs, the Non Governmental organizations that helped facilitate this. Because this is a machine. This became an absolute machine. Now why? Because you're talking about billions and billions of dollars that funded this operation both externally and internally. So what were some of the biggies in terms of migration or in quotation? Refugee support? You had the United nations refugee agency, the UNHRC. You had the International Organization for Migration the IOM, the International Committee for of the Red Cross, the ICRC. And you had HIAs. Right. And. And basically these NGOs are just the face the night, the pretty face that they put on top of these, of their plans. That's right. Right. That's right. Because you can't have to tear down the country budget line, you know, line of the budget, 100%. And you know, the other thing too is when you do look at what these NGOs provide, they provide legitimate services, right? They provide water, they provide tents, they provide Internet access, they provide some kind of debit card, they provide shelters, they provide food, they provide protection in some cases. But what all for. That's for the, the mass migration into the United States. Right. For what reason? So Highest is, you know, is the Hebrew Immigration Aid Society. And you know, their role in migration operates in countries like Panama, Colombia, Mexico, offering to support some migrants and refugees traveling through central South America. And their work includes and provides legal assistance, humanitarian aid, food, shelter, medical care, and guidance on the asylum process in regions like the Darien Gap, a dangerous migration route. Right. Now, Highest receives its funding from a bunch of different, you know, private donations, government grants, that whole thing. So here you go. Ready for this? So from 2021 to 2024, highest received $274.6 million in federal grants to support this cause. 87.77 million per year. Um, and this was during Alexander Mayorkas tenure at this DHS secretary. It's also known that he was also the head of HIAs prior to coming in as the head of HHS. All right, so like I said, in 2023, received 87 million in taxpayer funds. Some alleged, some posts alleged that Highest was a part of a broader 1.4 billion billion funded by who? You guessed it, USAID. Right, and USAID, as now we found out from Mike Benz and Doge, was basically funding all different types of illicit programs as a cutout for the Central Intelligence Agency in the, in the intelligence community. Right. And so when you understand the work they did overseas with judicial reform, right, Changing the influence of local judges, getting judges in office or outright funding color revolutions, funding media campaigns, funding immigration changes or challenges to certain areas, you start to understand, whoa. Well, they're not just. It's not a US Aid organization, they're a political influence organization. You know, total revenue, approximately 135 million. 60% of their total revenue comes from government aid and funding. All right, so that's, that's them. How about the un hrc, Right. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees. And again, when you look at what their mission statement is, and it looks awesome, right? You know, here's what it is. Their focus is on protecting and assisting refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, IDPs, stateless people in Central South America, primarily through humanitarian aid, legal support, and integration programs. Why the UN HRC does not explicitly allocate funds for migrant support, a distinct category in their programs, and in the Americas, support forcibly displaced populations. So forcibly displaced populations. Now, when you get into what asylum actually is and what it means. Holy cow, talk about gray area and definitions. It's pretty substantial, right? Hey, Jordy, will you try and pull up the definition of an asylum seeking person by standards of HHS and see if you can look up the standards prior to the Trump administration coming in. Yep. Thank you, sir. All right. All right. Spending in Central South America, all right, Total expenditure in the Americas in 2023 was approximately $355 million. Let me repeat my last. Their spending in The Americas was $355 million. Right. Against a regional budget of 827 million. And they had some funding gaps for sure, but they were able to, you know, meet those needs. All right, let's see. Spending. The spending covered 23 million forcibly displaced people in their needs protecting across the region, driven by displacement in Venezuela, Colombia, Haiti, Central America, Mexico and Nicaragua. So let's look at that number. 20. That's, that's from the UN HRC. 20, 23 million displaced people. So you're telling me that 20. They, they, they were able to aggregate, interview and, and, and log in, met their criteria for refugees. I'm calling bullshit on that. It just is what it is. You're not going to fudge these numbers. And the reason they fudge these numbers is so they can get money from the imf, they can get money from federal grants, they can get money from UN grants, which, by the way, did you find those, that number, Jordy? Oh, I found the definitions. The definition. Give me that real quick. And then, and then we'll go into another one I need your help with. Yeah. So it looks like the definition hasn't changed much, but it doesn't matter because the way it's applied and the legal reasons of who can be in asylum did change a lot. And that's where they snuck it in. Right. So the definition looks like it's according to hhs, a person who has fled their country and is seeking protection from persecution or serious human rights violations in another country. Right. So they have not yet legally been recognized as a Refugee, but they're in the process of applying for asylum at the US Port of entry or from another country. Now, the big thing that happened is there's been changes in that since Trump's first term. So while the core definition hasn't changed, Trump era policy shifts impacted who could claim asylum and how their claims are processed. So In June of 2018, Attorney General Sessions ruled domestic violence or gang based persecution did not qualify as a form of persecution under asylum law. So you can't claim asylum because of that. We don't have no Jeff Sessions. We do. Yeah, he got the boot. Yeah, he did. And then there was the remain in Mexico policy. So even if they did claim it, they remained in Mexico, right? Yeah. Now, the big change was under Biden, these rules were basically just scrapped. And so now even though the definition hasn't changed, now it's basically you can be an asylum seeker for literally any reason. And wait here. So think about the number. 23 million people meet the criteria for the UNHRC as forcibly displaced under those asylum rules. Right? So oppression, how vague can that be? Domestic violence? I mean, you talk about how rampant that is in impoverished areas all over the world, including the United States. Right. You talk about oppression. I mean, that's like fighting terrorism. I mean, in my mind, that's the same concept, right? You throw out some ambiguous word that has an unlimited scope of perspective, and it just opens the door for everybody and anybody to meet that criteria. And that's what happened. Seeking protection from persecution. Dude, I seek protection from persecution in my own mind every goddamn day. Excuse my French, but it's like, holy cow. I mean, this, They've created a, a, a mega industry. We're talking billions and billions of dollars that not only served two different masters of, of low wage, or, you know, like, if I'm a corporation like Walmart or wherever, or any unions. And that's, that's crazy. I just talked to somebody this morning whose father grew up in the unions in New Jersey, and, and he was telling me that even his son could not get hired on the docks because they're only taking undocumented workers now. So the people who once traditionally were protected by the unions are no longer being displaced by these illegal immigrants. Why have a union? What's the point? Well, you know, I have a union. Unions not only support a particular political party and a voting bloc. So if you can somehow create some type of political loophole where you can have undocumented workers work under the union pretense, which are protected jobs in certain states and now it not only protects them under these asylum rules, but protects them under these worker laws that they're protected under the unions. And you can only use the unions on the jobs for certain political whatever. It's pretty smart. It's ingenious when you think about it. All right, now let me just get into this. Now. The un H I, H, R, C hcr sorry. They had all different types of programs, right? They had the Regional Refugee and Migrant Program Response Plan. They had these other programs that were medical in nature, legal in nature. You know, think about this, too. Some of their funding, out of the $355 million spent, a significant portion went to local partners. That's 57% of global partner funding to local responders. Okay, so let's say I'm running, you know, part of the UNHRC and I come into a particular town that's being flooded with all these illegal immigrants or these asylum seekers or whatever, and it's destroying my town or whatever. And I say, hey, listen, here's $3 million, which is 20 times their annual budget for that municipality. If you, if you allow me to conduct business in your, in your town, what do you think is going to happen there? So again, you think about it. I mean, are you going to spend $5 million on waters or where does that money. Listen, I've run contracts overseas. I ran a building contract. And when I was at Blackwater over in Afghanistan, and our job was to. My job was to design and build these training facilities in two spots in Afghanistan. And we had to work with Afghan building companies and Afghan municipalities or government leaders. And I would say roughly 85% of the money that we were getting through our contract from the US Government was going to pay off these, these, these government people and all this stuff. And I kept bringing up like, hey, this is, this is B.S. why are we doing this? That's just how it's done. That's just how it's done. And I'm sure if you were to go in and talk to these officials at these international aid or this is how it's done. This is how it's done. So, people, not only are we funding our own immigration wave of overriding assist, but we're also paying people off all over these, these countries and municipalities all over central South America. All right, let's go to the next one. Next one. Let me just summarize this. So in 2023, the UNHRC, approximately 355 million million in Central South America refugee, with a 2024 budget of 834. They did come up short on that. The UNRC contributing to. To the $1.4 billion RMRP and those funds support humanitarian aid for the integrity, the integration for. And then this one adds it up. 23 to 25 million displaced people, primarily Venezuelans, Haitians and Central Americans. All right, how about the International Committee for the red cross, the ICRC. All right, ICRC global and regional spending context. Global budget was $2.28 billion, right? For what they do, approximately 2.67. Concerned over operation 100 companies addressing armed conflict. All right, Amer, the America's budget. All right, was $153.7 million. Approximately 180 in US dollars. Migration focus. All right, all right. Total estimated spending combined Central South America. The ICR sees annual spending on migration support 2023 at 29 to 50 million. And the range accounts for Central America, 9 to 20 million. South America, 20 to 30 million. What? I don't, you know what, I love Jordy too about this. What's that? Right? Is the spectrum right? 9 to 20 million, right? Dude, 20 to 30 million, dude. How difficult is it to have a budget, right? How difficult is it? Really pretty hard. Well, you go back and you look at Los Angeles. I mean, it's not just these international age organizations. It's look at Los Angeles county budget, right? You look at, at, let's look at the homeless shelter, the homeless programs. Where did all that money go? Where are the receipts on that? Well, how do you have a budget when you have an unknown amount of people that you're going to be dealing with, like literally, I can't even blame them. How do you even have one? You don't. What you have is you have a scam, you have a grift at the highest possible level. You pull on people's heartstrings, you tell them that we're taking care of 25 million displaced people in the world. And listen, before you get all spun up, if you're again, you know, on the other side ideological than I am, the reality is, is, you know, we've done our fair share in displaced refugees and people around the world. I get it, I've seen it, right? But, but the reality is, is people are fleeing these countries that, you know, you can go in and yes, there's violence and there's oppression, but they're coming here because, you know, there's opportunities unlike any other place. And, and if all you have to do is say whatever. Now if you're an NGO and you can go out and you can, you can source 20, 30 to $50 million and have a little bit of fudge wiggle room in your nonprofit. What do you think's going to happen? Right? What do you think's going to happen? You're going to go for the biggest number possible. Well, and how many of these organizations are actually contributing and working with the criminal organizations that are funding the actual human trafficking park? I mean, there's an argument to be made for sure that they're doing the same thing. They're trafficking human beings right now. Again, I know that'll spin up now. Now, here's the kicker. All right, are you ready for this one, Jordy? This was my. No, dude, I'm not. This is ridiculous. Okay, here we go. Dude, I don't even know how to even begin to wrap my mind around this one. This one was, was staggering when I found this. All right, here we go. So how does the US Federal government, what role do they play in this? You're great at protecting your own personal information.

What role does the government that your hard earned tax dollars, the ones that you're grinding out day in and day out, that you're going to work, that you're trying to put food on your table with crazy inflation because of reckless spending from both sides of the aisle, that you're going to work and you're away from your kids for 50, 60 hours a week because you had to get a second job, because your wife works, because your kids all work and everybody's in this hellacious grind because there's no way to afford a cost of living, there's no way to buy your own home. You know, coming out of college, you know you're in debt up to your eyeballs. Insurance you can't afford, but yet your hard earned tax dollars that if you don't pay, guess where you're going to jail. Guess where those tax dollars have been going. Can I guess? Where do you want your, what's your guess, Jordan? I'm sure they go towards building a very protected and well Run border and help fund a very smooth, fast, safe and legal immigration system that for people to come into the U.S. i'm thinking that's what it's going towards. All right. All right. Okay, here you go. Funding is spread across multiple agencies, all right. Primarily the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services. Right. The Department of State, like the Shelter and Services program, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program, the Migration and Refugee Assistance Program, FEMA and several others. All right, here's what we're going to do. All right, let's just talk about one under Department of Homeland Security, and that's the Shelter and Services program. All right, 20, 23. How much total? Give me a guess, Jordy. For Shelter and Services? Yeah, Shelter and Services program. I mean, I like shelters and services. Let's see. Why wouldn't you love to stay in a five star hotel in New York City? Or LA or. Yeah, the Roosevelt, dude. I almost stayed there last time I went there. Sounds like it was fun. 20 million. You gotta get those numbers up, my friend. Rookie numbers. We gotta get those numbers up, bro. All right, what do you think it is? 200 million, bro. I 10X'd it, brother. $770 million, dude. Total including 290 million in June, 77 million in August. Over 400 million via the EFSP. H2.332.5 million in May of 2023. 75 million in December of 2022. Some nice shelters and services right there, bro. Don't even holy. I'm just. I don't even know. All right, how about the Office of Refugee and Resettlement, the orr? What do you think? What do you want to take a shot at this one? Let's see. Well, they're not building shelters, so I'm going to say only 400 million. Well, I love it. I love that you went down. Right. They're not involved in shelters or anything. Okay, this is the Department of Health and Human Services, right? Hhs, that's supposed to be taking care of the health and human services of American population and public us, right? Yep. All right, from 2020 to 2024, $22.6 billion of your money. Your money. 22.6 billion. And that's from the New York Post. And by open on. Open the books as sources and you can grok all this stuff you want, right? Right on. Migrant escalating from 2.4 billion in 2021 to 10 billion in 2023. This. This includes cost. Ready? This is the one that makes me so friggin Angry. I can't even see straight. This includes costs for unaccompanied. Bless you. This includes costs for unaccompanied children, resettlement and services like cars, home loans and startups. All right, so we're missing 340,000 kids and. But yet we're giving them 10 billion in 23 for their car services, home loans and for startups. All right, where's the accounting on that, Jordy? There's no accounting, dude. There's no accounting. That's what my point of all this are. You want to know why people are rioting in the streets? You want to know why programs like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundations and the Open Society, that piece of shit, George Soros. You want to know why so much money. Is it why there's so much chaos is because it's massive big business. These NGOs are literally be funded, being funded by your tax dollars. And I go back to the episode I did, you know, a few shows ago about the big beautiful bill, and guess what? All that funding, it didn't come out. It didn't go away. There were little cuts here and there, but it's still in there. Let me just read a couple more, Jordy, and then I'm going to wrap this up. It's crazy. All right, federal grants and direct funding for migration operations from 20 to 2025, total and estimated. Are you ready? I'm ready to make you sick. 42.5 to $47.5 billion to all these Homeland. Department of Homeland. Right. All their little programs. I just. So let me recap. You've got a industry. Not multi. No, multi. I mean, these industries are bigger than most of, of of our biggest companies in the United States, which are the most successful companies in the world, are dwarfing their budgets and what they're spending in these random areas by funding all these different programs out there through these NGOs. If you really want to do a deep dive on this, I recommend you go look up on X, this guy named Mike Benz. He is by far doing the deepest dive on where this money is actually going. The other is a person called the Data Republican. She's a phenomenal analyst and researcher. She's incredible too. She's exposing all kinds of this funding in real time on X. Go, go see them. Go follow them if you want to continue going down this rabbit hole. So as, as, as these people are trying to pull on your heartstrings or the heartstrings around, they're trying to get you to realize. Yeah, and listen again, I just got to restate this. If, if, if you live in a place where you're being physically tortured or persecuted and there's a government coming at you and imprisoning you and, and, and forcing you out of your homes, taking over your land and all that, yeah, I get it, man. I'm all about it. I'm all about that. But this, this is an international grift to the likes of. And how much money do we not know about? Because every time I went through, went to these places and to these sources to look at, none of their books were clear. They don't open their books up so we can go in and evaluate these nonprofits, these NGOs. Some of them do, some of them don't. I mean, hell, there were even Catholic organizations and Christian organizations and Protestants. There was one in Texas that went from 47 million to 240 million dollars in federal grants. Now listen, I'm a Christian and I believe in loving my neighbor, but not to the detriment of my actual neighbor, not to the detriment of my kids future. By putting us into astronomical debt and flooding our streets with even at 1%, 120,000 hardened criminals and terrorists and rapists and murderers, it's just not okay. We need substantial reform on how the immigration system works. We need to get as many of these radical people out. We need to check big business, and we certainly need to defund these NGOs, including the international NGOs that don't seem to have a problem by completely destroying the fabric of how our system in America works now. You know, I just. We're in a predicament. We're in a pinch now, and that's where we're at. And so now is not the time to check out. Please. I know you're overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed. And I live and breathe and smell and eat this stuff day in and day out. And you can ask my poor wife and my poor children, man. I'm the one at the breakfast table when they're getting ready to go to school or, you know, they're sitting around at dinner and I'm like, do you know what's taking place? Do you know how much these ends you. They're like, please stop. Right? I get it. I know it's overwhelming. But if you want your country and you want the thing that you believe in, the thing that you, from when you were a kid that you really believe in, that America is the land of opportunity, then you need to recognize that there is an ideology that has been infiltrated into our American social structure and social scene. Whether it was emerged out of the the colleges and universities that have been promoting socialism at the highest levels for the last 60 years, right? Or it's the massive wave of people coming from other countries around the world that choose not to assimilate and want to force us and our compassion into us assimilating and giving them what they want for free. Or it's a political ideology in our own country that want to over, that wants to overwhelm the electorate and destroy the very checks and balances that have kept this system in place for 250 years as well as this criminal element that just wants to make money off the misery and suffering of other people. It's time to get motivated. It's time to ask your local minister, go to your town hall meetings, call your local state congressmen or state senators, what are you going to do? Do? And more than ever get on the email or you know, all you got to do is go into Grok and give a press. Hey Grok, I want you to write a demanding letter of my local representative up in Washington D.C. or send it to here and I want you to write this big beautiful letter demanding that all this be stopped and reformed and all this. And then you go to your little printer in your house and you print out you know, 365 of those, right? Get 365 letter, you know, envelopes, you know, get a little stamper how to stamp of the address of your local commerceman and have your kids, you know, sit there, fold them, put them in the envelope, stamp it, put a letter, you know, a little stamp. Because the snail mail still works. They still have it. Put it in the mail every single day for 365 days and demand change. Because I'm telling you, you know, if you don't believe that we are the last shining light on the hill, then you have your head in the sand. And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, come up, come out, stand up. Be proud to be an American citizen. Be proud to represent what we represent. But more so what the people who have come before what they fought and died for. And that's a system that functions for you, that doesn't steal your taxpayer money, that doesn't make your life harder, doesn't give what you worked for for free to these people who are here illegally and don't want to contribute to our society. Stand up and fight for what you know is right. Booyah. It's Wednesday night after a long day and the last thing you want to do is cook dinner from scratch.
