Punchbowl Town Square

to house the homeless. Prosecutor to say he pocketed at least 10 million for a $7 million house, a Range Rover, private jets, and a European vacation home. Over $5 million of that came straight from Lossa. This is the homeless industrial complex at work. For years, money point in under housing first. It sounded good. The results didn't take path, for example. They received $1.2 million over four years. Yet the old Ramada hotel they bought with HUD funds sat vacant for years without housing a single person. Lossa Angeles has 10% of America's homeless and has taken nearly $1 billion in federal funds in five years. Homelessness only got worse. Record funding, record failure, HUD is done with the status quo. Under President Trump, we fund results, not corrupt failure. Lossa is on notice, not another dime until they showed a money actually helps people move toward recovery and self-sufficiency. We'll put in results first. We'll put in the American people first. No money for Los Angeles. Together, we're showing what is possible when you finally have a president in the White House who supports our police, who lets you do your jobs, and who always backs the blue. We backed the blue. And you know, and I have been from the beginning long before I ran for office who would have thought 10 years ago. I've been doing this for now a long time, but not that long if you think I'm president, if you think, this is a pretty quick trip. But I'm with you and always was 100%. 100%. And my administration is proving billions and we're giving you billions and billions of dollars to hire, equipment, train, new police office. We're giving you more money than you've ever been given in history, more money. And you're going out and you're buying the best equipment you can buy. We've taken 26,000 vehicles out of service because the drivers don't speak English. We've taken 30,000 drivers off the roads because their licenses were illegally issued. We have partnered with ICE. We're doing thing operations over two day periods of time over multiple states. So we were in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. We took 800 people off the road. And so what's happening is if you look back, there were people who were self-deporting. That's right, but we did it with ICE, with Mark Wayne Moll and I partnered on this. Now, we have people getting off the roads because they know we're coming for them. And we are not going to stop president. Trump is going to do everything he can to make sure when Americans go to Walmart or they go to church on Sunday, they go and they go safe. We've taken 20. Mark Rubio saying a foreigner, he said a foreigner is to make crimes, break the rules so their visas will be revoked. They'll be deported. And then that was Democrat Senator John Federman, Stanley Biden, Democrats destroying the border, letting in a crime way. To the news, the Trump White House revoked more than 175,000 visas held by foreign nationals. Plus, the DC Federal Pills Court just gave the green light to the Trump administration doing speedy deportations of illegal aliens that Biden had paroled into the US. Let's bring in former Trump acting, Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. Chad, great to see you. What do you make of all this? Well, I think Secretary Rubio, really, it's hard to build on what he said because he's exactly right. It's a right, I'm sorry, it's a privilege and not a right. Look, it's an administrative function that the United States government provides to allow individuals to come in. And there's a certain set of rules that they have to play by. And if the Secretary of State believes that they have violated these rules, then he can revoke those visas. State marker. Do you believe that people who lie on their tax returns should be audited? Yes. OK, do you think that people who break our laws should be held accountable or tax laws? Yes. OK, thank you. Very simple. Not a hard question. I'm glad we agree. So why is it that you are allowing President Trump to have complete immunity from being audited? Again, I'm going to have to refer you to my previous statements. And what was your previous statement? I'm unable to comment on any of the ongoing litigation. OK, can you name the ongoing case concerning President Trump's immunity for audit? Sorry. Can you name it? There are three cases. Can you name them please? That are out there now. And I will be happy to get them back to you on those. Because again, I am not a lawyer. Wait, we represent we are represented by the DOJ. You said that you can't because there's ongoing litigation. You'll get me the name of the ongoing litigation because the only ongoing litigation that I know of is surrounding the $1.8 million slush fund, which has already been suspended. The fact is that the judge is ruling in the litigation, that references that slush fund, only addresses the anti-weaponization fund. It doesn't even address Trump's immunity from audit. So I would like to ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the judge's order in the Floyd versus Department of Justice case. Without objection. Thank you. Now Secretary, you said you're not an attorney, is that correct? Merced supporting. OK, well, I am. And I'm actually proud to be an attorney and know the laws. And I know how to read a judicial ruling. Furthermore, I know that since 1962, the Supreme Court has held that ongoing litigation does not prevent someone from testifying in a congressional hearing. So once again, I'm going to ask why are you allowing President Trump and his family to have complete immunity from being audited? Again, since you are a lawyer, you will understand that the U.S. Treasury and the IRS are represented by the Justice Department and the acting attorney general. Yes, but I just mentioned as a Supreme Court case, it doesn't bar you from testifying. It's pretty clear to me, though, however, that you're not interested in answering questions. You're interested in arguing. Let me ask you this question. If President Biden amended a prior tax return and claimed that he was owed $1 billion, do you think that that would be audited or should it be audited? I'm not going to be talking about any. Any. Because you're not really hearing answer questions. I don't understand why you wouldn't audit that. And I don't understand why you wouldn't do the same for President Trump. So the ruling by the Justice Department is the knowledge of an audit of President Trump. All right, guys. So Manhattan Institute Fellow, Daniel DiMartino, who was a conservative Venezuelan who escaped socialism comes face to face with this Democratic socialist organizer on Fox News. And he tells her very bluntly why her ideas are so stupid and dangerous. From firsthand experience, this guy lived through it. He knows where socialism leads. Let's take a look at what happened. This got very fiery. All of the public thinks in America lose money, have subpar customer service. Because the truth is, they're not accountable to the consumer. They can just get a bailout from the government. And that is the problem with the government. That's what they did to my country of Venezuela. They destroyed the richest country in America. And the DSA is an organization that supported the destruction of Venezuela. Your team, Francis, traveled to Venezuela to support the deter of my country that ate million of us fled. And then now you come to America and say, let's do it all over again. I promise you, we are different. Why is she smiling? I'm sorry to interrupt so early here, but why is she smiling at this? He's saying, you destroyed my country. Socialists destroyed my country. They threatened my family. It was a disaster. And she's laughing about it. Francis? Yes. I mean, the capitalist are destroying my country of America. All of the things that you noted, that USPS on... I'm sorry, I have to answer the matter. It's well a question, Francis. He lived it. OK? His family had to leave it because turning it over to socialism destroyed the country. And people had less health care, less housing, all the things that you seem to think socialism will bring, we watched it all south of our border in Venezuela. And we saw what happened. Tell me why you don't take anything away from that lesson. Whoa. Why do you think that's not what would happen here? I have two things to say to that. One is that, again, I really don't want it to be under emphasized. You do have to answer for the destruction of our public services in the US, including Amtrak, including USPS, the things that you named that have been gutted by being sold off the government destroyed. I have an answer to the government on this question. On the question of Venezuela, if socialism is innately so dangerous and so bad, why does the US expand so much energy sanctioning these countries and overthrowing governments and attempting to overturn the democratic world of people? Why is that, Daniel? Well, Francis, I will think that you would support it because you say we should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. So I imagine you support the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, who is in a Brooklyn jail after being lawfully indicted. Is that right? I do not support the overthrow of democratically elected leader is anywhere in the country. Netanyahu, who is a democratically elected leader, is bad, but Maduro, who destroyed a nation with 8 million refugees, he is a good guy because he's a socialist, right? I mean, I guess I'm wanting you to really answer. If socialism in itself is really so dangerous and so bad, then why does the US government spend so much resources? You know, millions of dollars that are going to the US interventions across the globe, instead of things like health care for our working people in the country. Like, why do we have to spend so many millions of dollars on private insurance and still have to pay a copay, still have to pay a copayment, et cetera. And that's the capitalist system of health care. So let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. What did Maduro promise to the people of Venezuela? Before we get into that, the answer to her question is because the socialist regimes, especially in recent history during the Cold War, were being financed by China and the USSR to undermine America. They were set up as military satellites and posed a nuclear threat to mainland USA. Not only that, but we've seen millions of dollars from these regimes that are being funneled into undermining American universities trying to foment all this division and the overthrow of the American system. Socialism has always spread like a plague. It goes from one country to the next and basically sells the same lie, creates the same disasters, economic disasters for people. So not only are they national security threats, but we've seen in Marco Rubio's recent report from the State Department, how much just the Cuban regime has funneled into left-wing American activism, trying to energize and facilitate activism here that undermines the American system. That bad actors in America are taking forward money from these socialist regimes. To... President Trump, you have succeeded in restoring law and order to the precipice it should be on. He reads about each and every case that we work on. He feels the pain of those that have lost loved ones. The FBI has just released a new uniform crime report showing that in 2025, we achieved the single large... Excuse me, it's my... The reduction in violent drive in American history. Together we're feeling what is possible when you finally have a president in the White House in support of our police. And as of this week, we've captured nine out of 10 fugitives on the FBI's most wanted list. You're going to carry forward the mission of questioning by like Friday. Nice to know you. Good morning.
