Karen Bracken, "Our Constitution Limits Federal Authority To 18 Enumerated Powers?""The Federal Government is the problem, not the solution." So said President Ronald Reagan. Karen Bracken is the Founder of Tennessee Citizens for State Sovereignty (TNCSS). (www.tncss.weebly.com) (www.tncss.substack.com) . TNCSS intends to be a 'watchdog' group at the state level in Tennessee, which then intends to expand state by state nationwide. TNCSS is supporting a 'Nullification Bill' now before Tennessee's legislature. Karen reminds us that our Federal Government and the Supreme Court are not the final arbiters of the Constitution. The proposed nullification bill intends to manage the overreach of the federal government. She claims the Federal Government is "out of its lane" and has overreached into too many areas, that the Constitution does not authorize their oversight of. For example, the Department of Education is not mandated to exist under our Constitution. Karen directs us to Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S.Constitution. She points to the 18 enumerated powers of the federal government. "If it's not listed there it falls to the state," she says. SHE'S RIGHT! Before "Common Core", before the Clinton Administration, education was a successful laboratory process, where states were not required to have common standards across the nation. "Federalizing education has proven to be a national disaster," she says. The money coming in to colleges from the federal government, superseded the implementation of good education standards. Federal money distracted our politicians from good education system standards, she claims. Studies show a historic drop in national reading and math scores since the adoption of national Common Core curriculum standards. She now wants to invoke nullification when such federal actions are an 'overreach'. Karen Bracken supports this notion of nullification to remove the State of Tennessee from federal oversight by the U.S. Department of Education. She claims the federal government has no Constitutional right or obligation to impose oversight in education. In this interview, education is just one focus. The concept of nullification was born from the notion that instead of taking up arms and fighting another 'civil war', we can fix federal government overreach at the state levels first. Reaching U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators and seeking their support for this HB 0726 is essential. If Tennessee gets behind Karen Bracken and TNCSS in 2024, look for this movement to spread nationwide.

So welcome Karen, for joining us here today. ThankKaren Bracken: you for invitingGene Valentino: me. Well, you know, we have so much to discuss. It's really a question of what part of the elephant, part of the elephant you want to eat first. I'd like to start with, uh, the Tennessee Citizens, uh, uh, what am I saying?Tennessee Citizens for State Sovereignty. This is a group that was founded after your term of office as county commissioner. Want to take it from the top and just explain what this group is all about?Karen Bracken: Sure. Um, well, you know, I, I think for many years, like yourself, um, I realized that the federal government is not the answer or the solution.The federal government, as Ronald Reagan would say, is the problem. Um, so, uh, I focus a lot on state legislation, and last year, as I always do, I was following very closely our state legislation, and there was one bill in particular that really caught my attention, and it was called Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act.Um, so again, I followed that bill very closely. I tried to get people in the state of Tennessee to call legislators and support that legislation, and when it did not move forward, I was very disappointed, and I contacted the sponsor of that legislation, Representative Bud Halsey, and I asked him if he was going to resubmit the bill in 2024.He said that he was, and I told him that I was going to form a of Tennessee citizens to support that legislation and do everything we can to get that bill passed in 2024. So, um, I contacted my good friend, David Vance, and asked him if he would be willing to work with me on this initiative. We've worked together in the past, and of course he agreed, and the rest is history.We, Tennessee Citizens for State Sovereignty. AndGene Valentino: the bill itself tries to focus. I've read it. Um, thank you for sending me those links. And, uh, folks, before I get into it, uh, Karen, give us, give, give us the, uh, website first and foremost, so that people can go and maybe monitor what it is we're going to try to talk about now.Karen Bracken: Okay, well, the website is T N C S S dot Weebly. It's W E E B L Y dot com. That's our website.Gene Valentino: It's um, it's very encompassing and rather attractive. Uh, I'm very Now, let's talk about the whole concept of state nullification. You and I have had a few conversations by phone. One of the things I think America needs is a unification of sorts of the states coming together under one roof.But one of the, and I think you, you and I have agreed to that in part, the, the concern I have is that when one or two or three straights try to splinter off on their own, the question Is it meritorious? Is it justified? And sometimes I would say, boy, I'm having a problem with them doing that. And then I think about Governor Abbott in Texas and his ability to protect his southern border because the federal government, which is within its authority to do so, has not done so.And as a consequence, he's felt the need to step up. And it's not a question of jurisdiction. Uh, the, the federal government should be doing that. The question is, should he have the right to intervene and really take the lead, which is where we are in, uh, January 2024 right now with, um, state, uh, law enforcement officers in Texas having to step up to do with Joe Biden and the federal government is not.I'm using that as an example. There's some issues that distinguish it from the other issues you're talking about. I get it. Am I in the right ballpark? Is that aKaren Bracken: good comparison? Yes. Yeah. I mean, sure, the federal government is supposed to protect our borders, but the governor of every state is also required to protect The citizensGene Valentino: of their state.Absolutely. And they took an oath of office to do so. Mike, my concern is that you have had, you have seen an, a bill in, in the state, uh, assembly of Tennessee, and you've seen it come forward and you've supported it. Why have you supported this nullification bill?Karen Bracken: Well, because, um, I think one of the big issues that we have as Americans is that we do not know our constitution and, um, our, or, you know, the writings of our founders, the Federalist Papers, and basically the federal government was given extremely limited powers.The states were given almost indefinite powers, and we've kind of turned the, uh, you know, the pyramid of authority upside down. Um, the federal, the federal government is not the final arbiter of the Constitution, nor is the Supreme Court. It is the states. The states created the federal government. The states gave the federal government very limited, enumerated powers, 18 of them to be exact.And everything else is the authority of the state. And, and that's been turned totally upside down over manyGene Valentino: decades. And why is that? Sometimes, uh, you and I were both county commissioners and, uh, let me ask the question by throwing a statement out first. When I was county commissioner, I could see that in the history of governance under this constitutional republic we're living in, that there were times when our five county commissioners in Escambia County, Florida, were very powerful.In fact, one would argue, uh, they were too powerful. They were dictating, they, they weren't setting, they were not only trying to set policy, they were also trying to, uh, manage operations of government, which is where they, in, Our case is where some of them got in legal trouble. On the other hand there's other periods in history in this county where the pendulum swung back the other way and you found that the administration was too powerful and they were the tail wagging the dog in effect.They were, they were minimizing the effectiveness of the elected official. and denying him or her the ability to, to come forward with good policy, but is it because it was at cross purposes with, with what was being done, uh, in government, uh, uh, in the county level by these self serving administrators or administration and staff.Your comment on that and how that relates to this bill.Karen Bracken: Well, I mean, you're, you're talking about, well, just like the states have more authority than the federal government, the state itself has more authority than the cities and the counties. The state created the cities andGene Valentino: the counties. And so probably what, what I'm getting at is there's a, there's a tendency at times in government to cause one arm of government to over, uh, manage the, uh, the entitlements that they were, that they were given or that they were authorized to, to enforce.In your case in Tennessee, Talk about how the nullification process is so important, uh, to, um, correct an over, an overreach of government. Tell me why you think this is so important.Karen Bracken: Well, because the federal government has totally moved outside of its lane. You know, they're in our backyard. They're, they're playing in a lane that they do not have the authority to play in.They've had that, they've done this for decades. Um, I believe that a lot of the reason is money. I believe that, um, you know, they use the power of the purse to control the states. You know, as soon as the states try to, uh, take their rightful authority, Uh, the first thing they say is, uh, well, we're gonna, you know, take away your federal funding.If you don't obey, we're gonna take away your federal funding, and legislators just collapse at the thoughts of, you know, losing federal funding, and it's also a lack of backbone. Uh, it's also a lack of, of education. Many of our elected officials, I don't think they've ever even read the Constitution. They don't know.Oh boy.Gene Valentino: Right. You hit the nail on the head there, boy. I'll tell ya. Um, listening to some of them, um, comment at the microphone, uh, in, in, in cross purposes against the very laws they're supposed to be upholding. Start with the legislation that's sponsored and ready to go with, um, tell them, talk about the five different pathways to invoke nullification and what that means in Tennessee.Right,Karen Bracken: I'll grab the bill. Yeah, there, the legislation has, um, five different pathways. Okay, it is not legalizing nullification because nullification is already legal. Um, it is a right and, um, the bill has five different pathways in which to invoke nullification when the federal government steps outside of its lane, which it does most of the time.Um, the governor. Can, um, issue an executive order of nullification, members of the state assembly can issue, um, a bill of nullification, the judges in the state of Tennessee, uh, 10, combination of 10 cities or counties, or a petition of 2, 000 voters. They're, they're the five different ways. NowGene Valentino: the, what would be nullified?It would be something from the federal level that the citizens of Tennessee feel are, are overreaching or, or just not within the, the bailiwick of authority of the feds. Is that correct? Yeah, IKaren Bracken: mean, if you look at different things like mandating education, education, the federal government has no authority over education and look at where they are with the Department of Education.Totally unconstitutional. Yeah. Um, so we could always. Nullify any mandates that come down regarding education. Uh, marriage. The federal government, the Supreme Court, has no authority over marriage. Um, you know, so basically anything that goes outside, if you look at Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, that 18 enumerated powers. Anything that is not listed there belongs to the state.

Presidential Candidate Ryan Binkley ~ A Refreshing Latecomer to the GOP 2024 RaceRyan Binkley and Gene do a 'deep dive' into the Southern Border debacle, Immigration, and a 7-year Economic Recovery Plan. He is an entrepreneur that has stepped up from Dallas, Texas to step into the national scene. He is also a pastor of a multi-cultural church and wants to step away from Republican ~ Democrat issues and has a refreshing approach to revitalize the true American passion of patriotism. The Republican Party needs to give Ryan the attention he deserves. He refers to Lincoln's comments about America being the author of our demise, if we don't come together under the rule of law. Ryan focuses on the fact that our Constitution was Divinely inspired. A loss of the moral code behind our laws is essential to restore. Embracing a socialistic form of government is NOT the bedrock of the foundation of our nation. Ryan graciously reminds all of us that we are Americans, and a giving and charitable spirit is now necessary to restore our nation. Ryan is challenging us to expand and grow, and to share this American Dream.

You know, every week we're doing this with people from social, political, economic, entrepreneurial, uh, industry, uh, all different sorts of ways of life. Trying to get a feel of that old Horatio Alger American Gospel of Success, the whole concept of what makes America so great.Today's guest is Ryan Binkley. Ryan is a presidential candidate. Who, you say? Ryan Binkley. And where the heck has he been? Ryan Binkley's out of Dallas, Texas, an entrepreneur, uh, a churchgoer, pastor himself, Ryan, brief introduction from you, please.Ryan Binkley: Well, thank you, Gene. It's great being with you. Hello, everyone. My name is Ryan. I am a CEO of a consulting company based out of Dallas, Texas. I co founded about 20 years ago. We have about 400 employees and about 16 offices across the nation and in Canada. We do merger and acquisitions, business consulting.I'm also a pastor. My wife and I co founded a church and started it about 10 years ago. And, um, I've got five kids, uh, busy and live, but I'm, I'm running as president, uh, presidential candidate, really because I feel called to. At the end of the day right now, our nation's in a lot of trouble, uh, financially, economically, uh, big issues at stake, whether Social Security's going to be able to make it, healthcare is strangling our nation, and I've got some clear plans for that.Uh, we need an economic revival, and also we need a heartfelt spiritual revival. Something is so broken in our country, and I really feel led to speak to it. And what is the message for the Republican party in urban America? How can we unite our country? That's why I'm running. Uh, great to be with you, Gene.Gene Valentino: Uh, Ryan, thank you so much for that introduction. Uh, we both come from the same cloth. We're entrepreneurs, uh, with business backgrounds, a spiritual guidance along the way for me as well. And I will tell you, um, I regret not. Having gotten to know you more.let's talk about border security.What's your plan as a president of this United States on border security? It's such a broadRyan Binkley: based issue. Well, thank you. You know, right now, obviously, everyone knows the problem. You know, it's really big. I mean, we've got millions of people pouring into our country. We really have no idea who they are.Furthermore, we probably have 20 million plus people that have been in our country 20 or 30 years. Really, they came across the border at some point in time and many of us don't know who they are either. They have fake IDs. Many of them have fake social security cards and they're getting by, but many of them have integrated into our country.They own businesses, own homes today, all throughout America. They're doing some very difficult jobs. And so we've got an open border and because of that, we've got a crisis with fentanyl and opioids. You know, Gene, I think it's likely going to kill 100, 000 people in this next year. You know, primarily, uh, young people, 18 to 45.And so, uh, when we've got political polarization, uh, nobody wants to come together to come up with a solution. So we've got the Republicans on one end, they'll want to secure border at the end of the day. We've got to secure it. Uh, President Trump tried to, and valiantly, effort, but didn't have the resources or money from Congress to do it.So I like what he tried to do. He had a slush fund of about 60 million, but at the end of the day, it's about a 30 billion project to get it done, but it's important that we fund it. Yeah.Gene Valentino: Yeah. But one of the things I have concern with that you're bringing up, your intentions are sincere. We listen to other political candidates talk about their same concern.They also describe some righteous indignation over the way we behave. And some of this behavior is actually what has been blocking the ability to, it's not like Donald Trump didn't succeed at the border. To me, it's like he was blocked because of bad behavior. at many fronts. How do you get around the behavior issue?I think there's a, uh, I hate to say it, the root cause, I hate that term, but the root cause of this problem seems to lie more in how the Republicans and Democrats have put themselves ahead of the citizen you're reaching out to here.Ryan Binkley: You know, Gene, I really think it's bigger than that. I think it's not about, you know, President Trump's personality or anything like that.At the end of the day, we're going to have to have a real solution that meets some of the needs in order to get agreement for legislation. And so this is it. This is the political world we're in. Congress holds the power of the purse. Unless we have two thirds of majority in the House and the Senate, which we've never had, I don't think in my lifetime, you know, it's not going to happen because it's a very polarized issue.So what do we got to do? We have a plan called the Security and Dignity Act that funds the border wall, but this is how we get the money. We actually get some votes by coming up with a decent amount of workforce registration, uh, that allows some people that are here. to be here. It gets rid of people that have been here in the last five years.In fact, there's no place for them to stay because it gets rid of sanctuary cities by requiring e verify for every company. It actually gets rid of catch and release. But the way we get the votes, Gene, from independents and some Democrats is, is we allow more workforce registration and actually make them pay a fine.But after 12 years, they can go to the end of the line. And at the end of the day, this is the way to get it done. This is the solution. This is, this is called leadership. And so that's howGene Valentino: we're going to get it done. Ryan, what about the 20 to 30 million who are arguably in the country already illegally?Right. Do you deport them? Uh, whatRyan Binkley: are we going to do? Some of them. Some of them. Our particular plan kind of draws a line in the sand that if you've been here and if you've come in the most recent five years, you have to go home. But if they've been here and not committed any crimes, they've been here for 20 years, they have to come out of the shadows.Let us know who they are. They pay a fine and that fine is about a thousand dollars a year for about 12 years and then after that they can go to the end of the line. There is no jumping the line. There's no doing things illegally. If they, if they committed a crime, listen, if you and I, you know, got a speeding ticket, right, or we, we committed a crime, we're going to pay a fine or we're going to go to jail.At the end of the day, that's what we're going to make this happen. They're going to pay a fine. Going to jail would be the essence of kicking them out of the country. So we're going to do that with probably about 5 million people, the most recent people. But some people have been here a long time and they're doing some work that's about 2 percent of our GDP.And quite frankly, nobody's in line to do. I mean, they're working in meat processing plants, agriculture, construction, they're digging ditches. I mean, construction would shut down throughout the Southwest if we didn't have some labor help. So, you know, we, we, the people that we want to be here will have an opportunity to be here with legal registration and then they can pay taxes.They can pay fines, but they get no federal benefits. All that money goes to pay for the borderGene Valentino: wall. Your plan, uh, border security plan, and all the points in it which I've read, which is why I was excited to meet you today, because on GeneValentino. com as a former county commissioner for two terms, I had the experience of realizing some of the, uh, gridlock that exists in government.And one of the concerns I have is that In, I've created a second bill of rights, which kind of mirrors your 13 points under your plan. Uh, my second bill of rights, like the first bill of rights to the constitution, my second bill of rights has 11 amendments to them, and one of them mirrors what you're talking about.It has to do with the, a plan to, um, I, I, I, I, I baited you earlier when I said, what are you going to do with 20, 30 million people who are, who are here? Well, you're not going to get them all deported. Let's face it. So what are you going to do about it? I believe in a plan that gets the American citizen to step up and sponsor some of these people, bring them in under their wing, enjoy some sort of tax credit for taking them in under their aegis and providing them a, an education and or training path.For them to get to the marketplace and to get into the marketplace, which is what you just mentioned a minute ago, to provide the labor and services that many Americans are ill-equipped or uh, unwilling, uh, uh, uh, to do. And it, it, it gives them, um, and it's all based on your primary comment, a dignity program.It's done out of a sense of, of respect and dignity. Dignity in making them go through a few hoops to be coming. An American. I would want them to know about who George Washington is. Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Jefferson. I mentioned the Bill of Rights a second ago. What is it? It's the first ten amendments to the Constitution.How many Americans know that, let alone the immigrants? And how would you like to comment on that?Ryan Binkley: Well, you know, I think it's a great idea. You know, I think we can do that through corporations and companies, basically people that are employing people today, give them an opportunity to sponsor them. But you know, our plan clearly lays it out.You know, they have no right to citizenship until after 12 years and then no right then, except to go to the end of the line. So, you know, they're not jumping the line. There's so many people that have been waiting 10 or 15 years. I mean, we've got a broken, We have a broken legal immigration system, much less illegal.You know, I pastor, um, you know, Jeanne, a multicultural church, many immigrants there, many of them are their citizens, their vote, but they have family members that have been trying to get here for 15 or 20 years, and they've told me this. They said, Ryan. The Republicans just don't come up with a legal plan.Even for people, you know, it shouldn't take 20 years for a relative to be here, even when they're sponsored. And so, you know, we've got worker needs here. The reality is this, we have a worker shortage problem. We have a population problem in the United States of America. That's why Social Security is broke.There's so many things we need to fix this. We could fix by having more kids, but at the end of the day, this We've got jobs that need to be done and so we have a decent plan to do it and it can get done and it addresses the bigger things but main thing everybody needs to know this. It secures the border permanently.It's not based on a short term plan of putting the military there because once you do that, and when a Democrat's in office in the White House, which will happen again one day, unfortunately, but it could happen again, they're just going to pull them off. So we need a permanent plan that needs to be funded by Congress.It's going to be ongoing. You need ongoing repair. It's going to need ongoing needs. And so it just funds it. It needs to happen in our country and this allows for it.Gene Valentino: So you have just touched on, you mentioned permanent plan. Uh, I proposed in my second bill of rights a permanent constitutional amendment that, uh, you are correct, we shouldn't have to do this, but for fear that some other party with diverse intentions, uh, tries to come back in and, and pull the rug out from under our a good path of growth in this nation.To prevent that, we need a constitutional amendment. Oh, we'll never get a constitutional amendment through Congress at this time. Well, we have the Convention of States people have talked about, I wouldn't mind you addressing. But really, a constitutional amendment that puts in place a mandate that the United States shall protect its borders and with absolute articulation of what that means not only in terms of force, technology, intelligence, uh, monitoring of that border, uh, but, but also an immigration process which you also addressed.Would you address a little bit more of the immigration process and then let's move to economic development?Ryan Binkley: You know, it's a complex issue. Every person's different. Every nation's different. You know, the, that applies here. People apply here. One of our, one of our, um, guys on our advisory team, Admiral Bill Moore, formal admiral, um, on the, uh, worked in the Pentagon, in the Navy, you know, his entire career.Um, you know, his, his wife is, um, Filipino. She had a brother waiting 20 years, I believe, to become, uh, to get entrance in America. Finally got accepted to come, but listen, he was 70 years old. He's like, I've been waiting so long, you know, my life, I'm just going to finish it out here where he is. And so we've got a broken system.We needs to be addressed. Well, you know, there's so many things we can do differently. We just have to take out the inefficiencies in the system, make it work better, more efficient, and it actually meets the worker needs we have. We wouldn't be having a lot of problems that we're having today because the reality is this.People need people to work. I own a couple of restaurants. I've got, I've got a, uh, help wanted to sign up there all the time because we pay 13 an hour for somebody to run a cashier and I, I can't keep that job full. So there's not a lot of people that are willing and want to work some, some hard jobs even to pay a decent wage and they're entry level jobs.But, you know, that's just an example. Uh, people need, people need work done. So once we secure the border, we can allow work registration. We can solve this problem. We can come together and we can fix it. But we need a president that's going to address the issue and actually get it done. And that's why I'm running.Gene Valentino: You mentioned something in your immigration, uh, strategy about, um, uh, humanitarian campuses. You want to describe what those are? Immigration campuses?

Full Episode Transcript Unique Texas Border Insight - Meet Jaeson Jones, a Border Security ExpertNarrator: With breaking news and political commentary from a public servant, serial entrepreneur, community leader, philanthropist, and American patriot, and a darn nice guy, it's time for the Grassroots TruthCast and your host, Gene Valentino.Hi everybody, Gene Valentino, and welcome to another edition of our Grassroots TruthCast. You know, we are witnessing, , the largest U. S. intelligence failure in American history. And it starts, we're seeing it nationwide on several fronts, but we're also seeing it Exacerbated at our southern border.I wanted to do a deep dive today. On the southern border, the southern border as it relates to the encroachment of and impact on our national security, on our governance as a nation, our health and safety and welfare as a nation, from a drug point of view and from the incursion of bad actors coming in over the border.What better person to have with me today is Jason Jones. He's a border intelligence expert. He comes to us with internationally renowned border intelligence experience. He's also been a keynote speaker at many events. He can give out his website in a few and direct you to some of some of the other things he's doing.He's... Got decades of experience in saving lives across the southwest border of the United States, primarily Texas. Jason's extensive experience at the border leaves him ideally placed to educate communities and government agencies about the ongoing threat. Of the unsecured borders and the transition transnational crime that's going on.That's a big one for me, Jason. Welcome to our show. Oh, Gene. Thanks for having me. And it's good to be with you. Yeah. Let's, let's do a deep dive on some of the things I just mentioned in the introduction. Right after this two minute segment that Jason put together for us.I'm trying to show, you know, the American people what's really happening at that border, but more importantly to how what's happening there directly impacts them and their families. One of the problems that Republicans and Democrats alike have had for decades is that we look at that border through the lens of immigration only.And what I'm really trying to do is illuminate the crimes against the state and against our country and what's happening to our citizens. Last night the guy left them and so they just kept on walking and laid up here. How much did they pay you? Cuantos es ocho mil en americano? 8, 000. 8, 000 to be abandoned.Three days in. Yes. Is that pretty normal where smugglers just abandon them like this in the desert? Yes, sir. Even after they paid all their fees, all their money, they just leave them out here? All the time. We've been embedded with the men and women of the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. We came to uncover the devastating impact of the Sinaloa cartel here.But also the collateral damage to the rest of our nation. Chief, what's the major change in tactics you're seeing in this area? The big shift being over the last year from drugs to bodies as the main commodity. So they're getting more money smuggling humans than they are for anything else.If the United States government does not designate these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, I can tell you right now, all you have to do is look at what's happening in Mexico with the hyper violence. It is coming to our country. When you talk about the cartels, we have to look at them for what they are.The United States government... continues to attack the symptoms, drugs, weapons, human smuggling, human trafficking, and that's all important. But there's one thing that's responsible, and it is the Mexican cartels, and we have not taken them on. Welcome back, Jason. We have a lot to talk about. I have dozens of questions, but before I dive into a specific area, is there anything you'd like to headline on your presentation before we get into it?You know, really the point of that was really to illuminate that what we're seeing today is something that we've never seen at our nation's borders. You know, we think of that border through the lens of immigration and everything I am about is trying to illuminate the national security and public safety threats to the American people, because for too long, the immigration issue has masked.The National Security and Public Safety Threats. So, you know, look, quite frankly, Americans in every state in this nation are now feeling. You know, we just watched on your video a true impact of of what your role was getting out into the arid desert areas. of the Southwest and actually watching some of these coyotes and groups come over and I watched in the video how they were left stranded for thousands of dollars in the middle of nowhere.How is it you found them? Let me speak specifically to the video first. Yeah, sure. They, here, here's what's happening out there. What the area you were talking about is called Alpine, Texas. Absolutely some of the most beautiful country on our southwest border. Of all the places I go, Gene, that's my favorite.But what I do that's different is I embed with law enforcement for a week at a time, but we really get to see what they're going through. But one of the common tactics is that smugglers will charge anywhere from 8, 000 to 15, 000 to hike these migrants into the mountains. And then while they're sleeping at night, two to three days into the mountains, they abandon them.They just leave them out there. And then what happens because that area is so big, they really walk in these gigantic circles. And most of those that we end up you think you're going after there to apprehend someone and what it really turns into, Gene, are rescues. Wow. And you really touched on what I think is the root cause of this pro I hate that term, but I know you touched on the root, the root cause of the problem is these Mexican cartels and who they're targeting and the total disregard for the human condition and humanity, the use of the human person as a commodity in trafficking.I, I'm confused. Which came first is, was it the money for the fentanyl that they're bringing over and that seems to now taking a backseat to the commodity of the human body trafficking humans for immoral, illegal, unjust purpose? Right. It's well said. And then not only that, we have to remember the federal government, United States intelligence agencies, and the Department of Defense are doing virtually nothing to stop it.I broke this story in February of 2021, that Cartel de Gauffre, also known as CDG, was putting wristbands on men, women, and children. And if you would have told me that in 2023, we'd be where we are. And that millions of people would have crossed through their area and be in debt bondage to these savages.I would have never believed it, that our government would allow this. And yet they haven't. I'll give you a great example, Jeannie. I've got these right here. These are the wristbands. I held these up before Congress two months ago. And I said, what you are witnessing is America's new slave trade. Because that's exactly what this is.You see, the question you asked, you know, which came first, human smuggling, human trafficking, where was this? Well, a lot of people are not even familiar what the difference is because the trafficking world to us in the United States. is a new phenomena. You know, we didn't even have trafficking laws on the law books in Texas until 2001.At the national level, I believe it was 2004. So what is human smuggling? Human smuggling is where a person takes a person says, Hey, for a, for a price, I'll move you from point A to point B. And at the end of point B, that negotiation is over. Okay. In the world of human trafficking, Most Americans are familiar with commercial sex, right?And then you have two other forms of, you have forced labor and what's called debt bondage. What I'm holding is debt bondage. Now, what is this? Let me, let me explain. Just as Border Patrol were having difficulties keeping up with the amount of people that were flowing into the United States, so were the cartels in 2001 based on the policies of the administration.As Secretary Mayorkas filed exemption after exemption for unaccompanied children, for family units, for single persons, and then country after country after country, it began driving and causing this sucking effect to people all over the world. So the cartels, realizing that everyone that crosses through their area could be charged, which they had traditionally always done, they just never cared about it so much.And they said, Hey, you know what we can do? We can charge these people tremendously. If you're, if you're a Mexican citizen, 2, 500 just across the river gene. If you're Central American, 3, 000. If you are Chinese, 5, 000. If you're Russian or Middle Eastern, 9, 000. We have to remember. These people don't have that kind of money.Most Americans don't have that kind of money. So what you're witnessing here is a process. And if you notice this has has a bear, a polar bear. That's a smuggling, an alien smuggling organization working under Cartel de Gafo. Now it says Entraga for arrivals. And it's got some, some prints here for a polar bear.And then it's got a number. I don't know if that's clear or not. Can you see that number? Is that in focus? I can. Yeah. One four, one seven. That's assigned to a migrant and it goes in a CDG database. If they agree to make a payment to that cartel for years, if not decades to come, then they go into a stash house.Now they give up all their PII data. That's personal identifying information. Another thing most Americans are not told is they all cross with cell phones. That's another thing you rarely hear about. And so they take, the cartel takes all their information from the country of origin and where they're going in the U.- They create an agreement and then you get a wristband. And then once you get that wristband, you're passed from one stash house to the next stash house to the next stash house. Finally, when you cross the river, Where they tell you to, or on a raft, in South Texas specifically, they usually put you on rafts because of the water level, and most migrants can't swim.As soon as they hit U. S. soil, they break those wristbands, and you may have seen that in that video. And then from there, DHS, in their wisdom, decided to spread this virus all across the United States. The cartels had always 1 gangs and U. S. based street gangs to move narcotics, but they didn't have it for the trafficking of men, women, and children.So they emerged themselves. In these groups sent people all over and they're the collection so that every two weeks or every month, depending upon whatever negotiation was made with each alien smuggling organization, they then bring that money back to Mexico. So think of where we are, Gene. We've never been here before.You're in this country considered legally, whether we agree with it or not under DHS's current policies, but yet indebted to a criminal organization in a foreign country that really should be a terrorist organization. We've never been here before as a nation. And that's what the policies of the Biden administration have brought us, along with a new crime wave that we are going to feel that's going to be much different across the nation than ever before.Well, this is a historic first, Jason, and I fear we are adaptable or elastic enough to respond to this unique threat to America from, I'll call it, from within. Folks, we're talking to Jason Jones. He's a retired captain from the Texas Department of Public Safety's Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division.And he supervised human intelligence operations as well in multiple nations. Jason has led investigations targeting the Mexican cartels and built programs that collaborated closely with the United States intelligence community. To help save lives lives here and lives in Mexico through and throughout the United States.So we're pretty proud to have you with us here, Jason, a few more questions, if you mind the. Where you're at with that video you showed seems to be ground zero. It seems to be the main pipeline for what's coming through, but it's not limited to just two or three passes or three areas or four areas in Texas.It's pervasive, is it not? Not to mention Arizona, New Mexico over to California, each with different appetites and desires of mitigating this problem. Yeah, it's very true. You know, every cartel that has operational control of their territory, which borders up to our border, determines what and how commodities, illicit or legal, are moved in and out of Mexico.And so, depending upon where you travel along our southern border with Mexico determines how much you pay. How you're transported and the environment usually dictates that. And you'll see that, you know, if you're in Arizona, the way they'll smuggle you across could be much different than the way it'll be in South Texas, for example.Jason, what's their end game? Is it just money or is it, is there something more here I'm missing? Power. The Mexican cartels today represent, and I say this all the time, The most significant national security and public safety threat to the American people. And the data gene validates it. What has happened that the United States intelligence agencies haven't told you and told the country, which is why I was so frustrated in 2016, I was a captain in the Texas Rangers Border Security Operations Center.I was an intel captain in intel and counter terrorism, but the ranger chief. Asked me to manage his border program because of my relationships with U. S. intelligence agencies. And what was happening in Mexico was absolutely incredible. I mean, we were seeing major gun battles taking place with 50 caliber belt fed machine gun, 40 millimeter grenades, RPGs, light anti tank weapons.We were seeing this adjustment from organized crime in 06 into an insurgency when that wave of violence sent as the cartels truly began fighting back against the Mexican government who was then targeting them. And then in 2010, we saw, because of what the Las Zetas cartel, one of the most hyper violent cartels in Mexico, brought to the Frontera specifically, was that adjustment into terrorism as they began conducting mass murders of migrants and Mexican citizens.And I worked a lot of these, you know, think of the 72 migrants killed in San Fernando. Brutally killed, only to try to get the Mexican government to go after Cartel de Gafa. The Zetas did that. The 300 men, women, and children of Allende killed, chopped into pieces, and then burned under what they call guiso, because the cartels have a saying, and that is that you can't count a body that doesn't exist, so they cook you to ash.And then the final form that we see them today is truly a parallel government. If you look at what happened with Ovidio Guzman, In 2019, when he was apprehended and then forced, the president of Mexico, AMLO, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, was forced to release him back to his brother, Ivan, and his other brothers, because otherwise they would start decapitating people they had taken hostage.It shows you the strength, scope, and power of these cartels, and this is why I went public. I went public illuminate their operations, but two, to get them designated as foreign terrorist organizations, because I will tell you this, Gene, If you wonder where this ends... All you have to do is look at the hyper violence in Mexico because it is coming here.Well, you said, where does it end I'd like to know who's pulling the strings of these cartels and why.

It seems to be the main pipeline for what's coming through, but it's not limited to just two or three passes or three areas or four areas in Texas.It's pervasive, is it not? Not to mention Arizona, New Mexico over to California, each with different appetites and desires of mitigating this problem. Yeah, it's very true. You know, every cartel that has operational control of their territory, which borders up to our border, determines what and how commodities, illicit or legal, are moved in and out of Mexico.And so, depending upon where you travel along our southern border with Mexico determines how much you pay. How you're transported and the environment usually dictates that. And you'll see that, you know, if you're in Arizona, the way they'll smuggle you across could be much different than the way it'll be in South Texas, for example.Jason, what's their end game? Is it just money or is it, is there something more here I'm missing? Power. The Mexican cartels today represent, and I say this all the time, The most significant national security and public safety threat to the American people. And the data gene validates it. What has happened that the United States intelligence agencies haven't told you and told the country, which is why I was so frustrated in 2016, I was a captain in the Texas Rangers Border Security Operations Center.I was an intel captain in intel and counter terrorism, but the ranger chief. Asked me to manage his border program because of my relationships with U. S. intelligence agencies. And what was happening in Mexico was absolutely incredible. I mean, we were seeing major gun battles taking place with 50 caliber belt fed machine gun, 40 millimeter grenades, RPGs, light anti tank weapons.We were seeing this adjustment from organized crime in 06 into an insurgency when that wave of violence sent as the cartels truly began fighting back against the Mexican government who was then targeting them. And then in 2010, we saw, because of what the Las Zetas cartel, one of the most hyper violent cartels in Mexico, brought to the Frontera specifically, was that adjustment into terrorism as they began conducting mass murders of migrants and Mexican citizens.And I worked a lot of these, you know, think of the 72 migrants killed in San Fernando. Brutally killed, only to try to get the Mexican government to go after Cartel de Gafa. The Zetas did that. The 300 men, women, and children of Allende killed, chopped into pieces, and then burned under what they call guiso, because the cartels have a saying, and that is that you can't count a body that doesn't exist, so they cook you to ash.And then the final form that we see them today is truly a parallel government. If you look at what happened with Ovidio Guzman, In 2019, when he was apprehended and then forced, the president of Mexico, AMLO, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, was forced to release him back to his brother, Ivan, and his other brothers, because otherwise they would start decapitating people they had taken hostage.It shows you the strength, scope, and power of these cartels, and this is why I went public. I went public illuminate their operations, but two, to get them designated as foreign terrorist organizations, because I will tell you this, Gene, If you wonder where this ends... All you have to do is look at the hyper violence in Mexico because it is coming here.Well, you said, where does it end I'd like to know who's pulling the strings of these cartels and why.

Dr. Paul E Alexander Wants Justice ~ “The Death Penalty on the Table for Fauci and Others!”Epidemiologist Dr. Paul E Alexander, saw the COVID19 history of wrongdoing from the very beginning. He said “Had we done nothing during the COVID pandemic, we would have lost many fewer COVID victims worldwide. A “Deep State” fraud was perpetrated on humanity. He says that under a new administration, justice will prevail. He said, “We killed people for a pandemic that never was!” We created a vaccine that does not work. The Fauci ‘Deep State’ created the perfect money-making system, and that’s why the fraudsters need to be punished. These were the same individuals who were intent on preventing Donald Trump from running again. Dr. Paul E Alexander, Dr. Malone, and Dr. McCullough are heroes who resisted whoever was pulling the strings that murdered people. The ventilators, the shots, and the masks did not work. Remdesivir did not work either. Heros fighting ‘medical tyranny’.

Full Episode Transcript Dr. Paul E Alexander Wants Justice ~ “The Death Penalty on the Table for Fauci and Others!”Narrator: With breaking news and political commentary from a public servant, serial entrepreneur, community leader, philanthropist, and American patriot, and a darn nice guy, it's time for the Grassroots TruthCast and your host, Gene Valentino.Gene Valentino: Hi friends and welcome to another episode of Gene Valentino's Grassroots TruthCast. We are recording by Zoom in the month of November and I'm very proud to say I've got a distinguished guest with me. His name is Paul Elias Alexander. Paul has a very interesting background.He's an epidemiologist that was focusing on clinical epidemiology and evidence based medicine, research methodology. He has his master's in epidemiology from from the McMaster's Department of Health Research Methods Evidence and Impact. He has some background and training in bioterrorism and biowarfare.We're going to be talking to Paul about that. And he was a senior advisor to the United States Department of HHS in 2020 for the COVID 19 response. Welcome aboard, Dr. Alexander. How are you?Dr. Paul E. Alexander: Thank you very much, sir. I'm, I'm okay. Thanks. It's such an honor and a privilege to be on your show.Thanks to Emily for coordinating this for us and and I'm here to answer whatever questions I can to help and yes, my background training is in evidence based medicine. I schooled at, I did some school at Johns Hopkins. I went to Oxford in Britain for clinical epidemiology. I went to University of Toronto for epidemiology and I went, I did my evidence based medicine doctorate at McMaster in Canada.So I, I, I was all over the place, but, I was working for the World Health Organization as their pandemic advisor, believe it or not, at the beginning of COVID from January to around the end of April, and then the Trump administration reached out to me. And I shifted from the World Health Organization to the Trump administration.Gene Valentino: We, we've got a whole bunch of things to cover. We're, this conversation is occurring while Israel is trying to defend itself overseas. Which it should. Which it should. Thank you for throwing that in. And the Biden administration trying to figure out how to play footsies with The Arabs are not being forthright in their in their policy against the the jihad, which has perpetrated its fraud into the into the Islamic groups, the, the, the jihads of.Throughout the area, and my concern is, is while all that's going on, and that's a topic unto itself that I know you have some, some background in, let me stay on the vaccine for a minute. Let's rewind the tape and just go back two years. If I was to say to you, if I was to say to you that the COVID lockdowns were a giant experiment and it was a failure, what would you say back to me?Dr. Paul E. Alexander: Well, first of all, let me start the question by answering you this. The gravest threat to the United States... I have argued this with my friends across time, they didn't understand where I was coming from. But I want to hit the vaccines now. But the gravest threat to the United States and the world has always been 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 50 years ago, radical Islam.And people never understood that. And now they're beginning to see how it's playing out. And we are at risk in the United States. Let me get to your question. If I was to answer you this way. I would say it this way, sir. People like myself, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Reesh, Dr. Ladapo Dr. Zelenko, Tenenbaum, we looked at all of the evidence on the lockdowns globally, all of the evidence on the school closures, and I'm talking about every comparative study, every report ever written, anywhere in the world, all the reports on business closures, All the reports on mask mandates and now the vaccines.We can find no evidence, not one study anywhere in the world, that any lockdown worked, any school closure, any mask mandate, any business closure, and no evidence that these vaccines are safe or effective for human consumption. None. The vaccines have failed. It was, it was a devastating plan. Whatever they did, however they did this.to bring this shot because this shot has proven ineffective and now what we are seeing is that the vaccine itself is causing the vaccinated to become infected, become severely ill and some are dying. So it's not only an ineffective shot, it is actually devastating and because it's a suboptimal non sterilizing vaccine.It is putting what we call suboptimal, suboptimal selection pressure on the spike protein enough that the virus is responding by generating subvariant after subvariant. So we went from Omicron to EG5 to BQ to BA2. 86 to FL. Now today, the new subvariant is HV. 1. It has now displaced the EG5. Why? Because of the vaccine.And if they want this, if they want COVID to persist, You just keep bringing these vaccines and never stop. We will have variant after variant for 100 more years. I believe they know what they're doing. Gene Valentino: The CDC has historically had a procedure in place of efficacy. That tested the merits of vaccines before it went to market.As you know, going back to 2020, Donald Trump was relying heavily on Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci, and I could list six more for advice and counsel. Yep. I know you were involved back then. How could you stand there and say nothing, and I'm not, that, I'm, I'm being rhetorical, this is not an accusation. How could you stand there and say nothing when you knew they were lying to Donald Trump, who admits he took the vaccine itself, but in the same sentence says, I took hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and I think that's what really worked for me.But, but there was no proof, doctor, that the vaccine worked because under emergency orders, the vaccine got released without the efficacy of clinical trials. I'm invested, it's just in full disclosure before I let you answer. I'm invested. In some AIDS preventative vaccination stuff, and I've got to tell you, we went through stage one, we're going through stage two now, and we're going to have to hit stage three, but these COVID vaccines never went through that level of scrutiny the way So, so now you've introduced to the masses a threat to society.Is this not a legal form of killing the masses that got released?Dr. Paul E. Alexander: Well, let me answer it this way. If you're asking me because of my biowarfare training, if you wanted to create a biological weapon that could slow kill and terrorize the population, they have done this with this shot. That's number one.Number two, there is today, no study, no randomized clinical trial, comparative effectiveness study today. That shows that any of these Pfizer, Moderna shots or BioNTech are safe, effective, none, none, not one. Any study that they have produced, especially on patient important outcomes such as hospitalization, infection, ICU and mortality.They're using non patient important outcomes that are not proxies for like immunity and what we are not interested in. They're using antibody titer levels. Which is garbage. That's number one. Number two, they're depending on observational studies that they're running for a couple of weeks, small sample size, small number of events.The research methodology is just garbage, corrupted science, fraud. And the FDA is granting EAU. I will tell the listeners this way. The FDA can never, ever grant full BLE. Which is full biologics approval for these vaccines ever. If they moved it from the EAU office to the BLA final approval office.The FDA knows it. The CDC knows it. Why? Because they're just too many adverse events on decks. The ineffectiveness data is clear. So if they ran it through their own final approval process to rubber stamp it, it will fail. So they must keep it on EAU. And when you said that, why would people be silent? If you go back and check my record, I am the one with Dr.Scott Atlas on the inside, banging away at Fauci, at Birx. at Bullard, Moncef, Sloughy, etc. That's why I had to leave the administration, because they moved to fire me, because I was hitting Han, who's the commissioner of the FDA, almost daily, writing to them about the vaccine is going to fail, and it's not properly the research you're doing.And I have been, since I left in October 2020, on the forefront with McCullough, Reese, etc., educating the public on why these vaccines should have never been brought. Why they're deadly and why we should drag all of them, Fauci, Birx, Azar, Hahn, Bula, Bansi, Sahin, all, drag them into a courtroom with proper judges and juries, any legal firm we could, and investigate them and try them.And if we show, as we know, that these people costed lives. Needlessly and recklessly, I want to clean them out financially. Take every penny, put Fauci in the streets, and I want to imprison them. I would imprison every single one of them. And if a judge has the testicles to say, you know what, people die, we need to put the death penalty on the table, I will step back and say, you know what, put the death penalty on the table.Gene Valentino: You know, you talk about this this is genocide if it's what you say it is. And no one can argue your point in the, because of what I think what you're saying in plain language for the non medical people watching and listening, the PCR test, the pulmonary chain reaction test, that we all went out and got to see just how...strong we were in some sort of protection, how, how strong was our body in defending itself against COVID? Would you explain the threshold distinction that occurred when they went from the 25 cycles threshold up to something around 40 cycles of threshold. This was creating false positives that increase the number of positives for COVID, which was a misnomer.It wasn't real. What did that do for the, the, what did that do? Was that helping the Biden administration narrative? Was it helping big pharma? Was it helping both? Are they connected? Take it fromDr. Paul E. Alexander: there. Well, well, first of all, I think that is one of the most important questions, Sue, that you asked. Thanks again to Emily for allowing me, because, because I could help explain this.Let me say it this way. The PCR test diagnostic test is not a diagnostic test. PCR is a process to amplify DNA. Period. In the research lab, in the dish. It's not a diagnostic test. The inventor said so. That's number one. Number two, the threshold you set, 25, the amplification's actually the threshold for my research is 24.So it's actually a little tighter. What is it actually we did? Well, what I'm arguing, what I've argued is this, and I have written about it. And published that they use the PCR test to shut society down, close schools and frighten you by denoting most people positive for COVID when 97 percent today, when we look at the data were false positive, what do I mean by that?Well, the PCR process works by you take the sample from the up in your nostrils or the back of your throat, however they did it, and they put it through the system and it amplifies. The genetic material so they can detect based on a background sample whether COVID, whatever the target pathogen they're looking for.The question is, is what you're detecting infectious pathogen and pathological pathogen? Because if you are not detecting that, it doesn't matter. That's number one. But remember, PCR was not a diagnostic test. The PCR process was used to create a false pandemic. This was a false, this was a non pandemic.And what they did was they cycled at 45, 1445 in America. What does that mean? And in Canada and UK. Well, that means that when we look at the science, we found that once the test amplifies the specimen taken from you, 24 times. That is the cap. At that point you are detecting what you are looking for. You are detecting infectious pathological pathogen, period.Beyond that, when you hit 27 cycles, 30, 32, you are detecting what we call non culturable, non infectious, non lethal fragments, viral dust. All coronavirus, all common cold, not what you are interested in today. In other words, we argue now that 95 to 97 percent, and when we model it out of, of the positive cases, were actually false positive.Okay. 97 percent of people. Who we told were positive and we took them out of the workplace. They began all sorts of treatments. We hospitalized some, we did all kinds of crazy things. They were never positive for COVID. And the medical management, we subjected granny to who was already vulnerable and elderly because of this false positive test.It was the medical management, the sucking into the black hole of COVID, the sedation in the hospital with midazolam and diamorphine, the dehydration, the malnourishment, the isolation, the pumping granny with remdesivir, which was a failed Ebola kidney liver toxic drug, and then we ventilated her. And now we know, well we knew two years ago, that the ventilator blew massive holes in granny's lungs.In other words, we took granny, who likely never had COVID, And we put her through a system in the medical system, in the hospitals that killed her. What I'm saying is our government. Our health officials, the CEOs of the hospitals, the medical doctors, you trust no doctor anymore. You fire your own doctor.They killed granny. They killed your parents. They killed your grandparents. And that is why I am out here on the front and I take a lot of licks. I take death threats every day, whether in Canada, United States, death threats, because I'm saying bluntly. We jail these people for what they did, even if you are a medical doctor, and if we can, we imprison them for life for what they did.They killed people.Gene Valentino: We're talking with Dr. Paul Alexander, an epidemiologist, but he's also had his hands very much involved in the anti mask, anti vaccine world, and he's also the author of an interesting book entitled The Presidential Takedown. I'd doctor, when I come back to you in a second, I encourage you to...Put a plug in for me and tell me where folks can go to, to get your book, The Presidential Takedown. How Anthony Fauci, the CDC, the NIH, the World Health Organization, all conspired to overthrow Donald Trump. And what, Doctor, your role was in this. I'm stunned with how they could call you Dr. Francis Collins Dr.Koldorf at Harvard, Dr. Bhattacharya at Stanford Dr. Gupta from Oxford, and others. You guys were all labeled fringe epidemiologists. You want to explain that?Dr. Paul E. Alexander: Sure. Do I do it now or when you comeGene Valentino: back? Oh, go for it.Dr. Paul E. Alexander: Go for it. Well, well, well, listen. Because out of the gate, we looked at, we knew two weeks after they started this in early February 2020 that COVID was amenable, this, this pathogen.I'm not talking about coronavirus. I'm saying whatever they cooked up in the lab, intentional or accidental release, whatever, this respiratory type illness. This influenza type illness that was affecting principally median age of death, 83 elderly people with underlying at least three medical conditions.We knew two weeks out of the box.
