11

:

Let's go.

12

:

last Thursday,

13

:

February 22nd, Laken Riley, a 22 year

old nursing student at Augusta University,

14

:

attending classes up there at their Athens

15

:

campus, was jogging around a lake

at the University of Georgia

16

:

and was killed last Thursday morning.

17

:

The crime, the murder is considered

a crime of opportunity

18

:

and opportunity taken

by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.

19

:

26 year old Jose Ibarra.

20

:

Now Laken has been

21

:

described as a girl who loved college.

22

:

Right.

23

:

Was filled with joy and happiness

24

:

and wonderful friendships

and would always want to exercise,

25

:

would actually be down on herself

if she ever skipped a workout.

26

:

That is what her former roommates

have been sharing with us.

27

:

And her life was taken

28

:

because of an illegal immigrant

that should never have

29

:

had the opportunity to do so.

30

:

So you may be wondering

if you don't know already,

31

:

who is Jose Ibarra?

32

:

Jose Ibarra

33

:

is an immigrant from Venezuela,

26 years old.

34

:

He and his brother here,

his wife are now estranged.

35

:

Wife is also here

that illegally crossed the border back

36

:

in 2022, in September of 2022,

37

:

and he was

38

:

released on parole, went to New York, left

New York,

39

:

came to Athens, Georgia,

or relocated to Athens, Georgia,

40

:

one year later.

41

:

And then five months after that

42

:

committed this crime or

43

:

is accused of committing this crime.

44

:

So the details of the murder

going back to last Thursday, Laken Riley,

45

:

between 7 a.m.

46

:

and noon, left her left her house, left

47

:

where she lived and went for a run.

48

:

One of her friends

knew that she had been going for a run

49

:

and which she did not return.

50

:

By early afternoon.

51

:

By about 12:00, 1230

52

:

called the police to report, say, Hey,

I have no idea where my friend is.

53

:

She should be back. She went for a run

and she has not come home.

54

:

It's been roughly 4 to 5 hours

like she would be home.

55

:

So the police,

56

:

Athens police, the University of Georgia

police sent out like a

57

:

an alert

58

:

saying, hey, please

provide any information on this girl.

59

:

If you have seen her, please

provide any information.

60

:

We are looking for.

61

:

That was February 22nd

62

:

in the morning in the location on UGA's

campus was Lake Herrick,

63

:

which is described to be a frequented

lake intramurals take place around there.

64

:

It is not only frequented

by students of UGA and I guess also

65

:

Augusta University and other college

coeds in Athens, but also by the public.

66

:

I mean,

I went to the University of Florida

67

:

and the school is not closed off

like the public can access the school.

68

:

I mean, you could just walk

right on campus, right?

69

:

And you could go and walk around

the campus.

70

:

You can go to the different areas

around campus and exercise or lounge.

71

:

You know, the big lake at the University

of Florida is Lake Alice.

72

:

That when

you cannot walk completely around like it.

73

:

But it does have a pathway

kind of within and around it.

74

:

And then also you can

75

:

you could walk along the street

on Museum Road in the front of it.

76

:

So sounds very similar to this

this Lake Herrick, very,

77

:

very popular location.

78

:

And the cause of her death

79

:

that was released by the coroner

80

:

is blunt force trauma to the head.

81

:

So imagine or I'm imagining

82

:

Laken Riley is jogging around the lake,

83

:

doing her normal fitness, her normal

kind of routine.

84

:

Right?

85

:

I mean, so normal that her roommate knew

that she was going to be out

86

:

running and jogging and knew roughly

about when to expect expect her back

87

:

out there.

88

:

And then Josie Yarborough,

89

:

I guess, jumped out of the woods,

90

:

followed her a little bit,

jogged behind her, and then.

91

:

Blunt force

trauma to the head and killed her.

92

:

And what's really strange or shocking,

93

:

I would say, about this, this murder,

94

:

is that this happened in the daylight

95

:

7 a.m..

96

:

The sun is up.

97

:

The sun is up by 7 a.m..

98

:

So this opportunity, this

99

:

this crime of opportunity,

as it's being described,

100

:

took place in broad daylight.

101

:

In broad daylight

102

:

by a man,

103

:

a 26 year old man

who should have never had the opportunity

104

:

to kill Laken Riley.

105

:

Now, my assumption is that he is guilty,

but he is innocent until proven guilty.

106

:

But all signs point to him

being the one right.

107

:

So let's kind of

go through this this timeline

108

:

of Jose Ibarra.

109

:

Jose Ibarra is now 26 years old.

110

:

He entered into the US, the United States

111

:

through El Paso,

112

:

but not through a port of entry

illegally through El Paso.

113

:

He was captured

114

:

or or whatever by the U.S.

115

:

Customs and Border Protection.

116

:

They arrested him for he

after he unlawfully entered the country.

117

:

And this was in September of 2022.

118

:

He was then paroled

119

:

and just released into the country

for further processing.

120

:

And we've heard about this

countless times.

121

:

Like that is what has been taking place

for years and definitely

122

:

has is what is going on

under the Biden administration.

123

:

They say they don't have room for you,

124

:

so they just parole you and send you out

into the United States, into the interior.

125

:

And then

a year later, in September of:

126

:

Jose Ibarra was arrested in New York

after driving an uninsured

127

:

and unregistered car

with a five year old inside

128

:

and was also charged

with acting in a manner,

129

:

quote, to injure a child.

130

:

Now, I'm thinking that that could

potentially

131

:

mean that maybe the child

was not in the proper kind of seat.

132

:

Maybe it was not wearing a seatbelt.

133

:

He was riding in the front seat

instead of the back seat,

134

:

or maybe a few other different

different ways in which

135

:

you are acting in a manner

that could injure a child.

136

:

But New York,

137

:

New York City,

because they are a sanctuary city,

138

:

because the politicians and bureaucrats

in New York think that they know better

139

:

about how to handle

140

:

legal immigration,

how to work with the federal authorities.

141

:

They're a sanctuary city

and they released the

142

:

ice has come out

and said that they were trying

143

:

to issue a detainer

144

:

to be able to hold on to Jose Ibarra

145

:

to process him to come and get him from

from jail in New York.

146

:

But New York

147

:

never received it

because he was already released.

148

:

And then once he was released, he fled.

149

:

He fled to Athens, Georgia.

150

:

He was released

before ICE could even issue

151

:

the detainer by the NYPD.

152

:

So great job on New York City

153

:

and also the state of New York.

154

:

So then in September, October of 2023,

he moved to to Athens, Georgia.

155

:

He and his brothers,

where his brother was living.

156

:

His brother actually worked

at one of the dining halls

157

:

that is said to be said

at the University of Georgia

158

:

because he

159

:

had an illegal a fake green card,

but average

160

:

could not be actually actually be paid

because he could not produce the other

161

:

documentation

that he needed to be able to,

162

:

I guess, get get paid by the university

163

:

or the contracting company

he was assigned to, you know,

164

:

to work that dining hall.

165

:

Now, this man is here

166

:

illegally, Jose Ibarra from Venezuela.

167

:

I being here in Orlando, Florida,

168

:

I know plenty of Venezuelans

169

:

and they are do not

they are not all like this time.

170

:

Let me just say that to begin with,

171

:

the Orlando metro area

172

:

has roughly 75,000 Venezuelans

173

:

there, even more in other parts

of the state of Florida,

174

:

especially down in south Florida,

Fort Lauderdale, Miami.

175

:

They're said to be

I believe it's up to the half

176

:

a million or so, a few hundred

thousand Venezuelans in this country,

177

:

Venezuela since

178

:

2013, has been under the rule of Maduro.

179

:

And they said that roughly 7 million

180

:

Venezuelans have fled the country

181

:

since Maduro took over back in 2013.

182

:

And the reactions to this death,

this crime of opportunity,

183

:

this blunt force trauma to the head,

this killing of Laken Riley

184

:

has been intense and justifiably so.

185

:

You have representatives,

you have senators,

186

:

you have the governor of Georgia,

Brian Kemp, all

187

:

all crying out saying like, hey,

188

:

immigration has to get under control.

189

:

It has to be under control.

190

:

And this opportunity,

like I said in the beginning of this

191

:

episode, would not have even presented

192

:

itself, would not have even been

an opportunity for crime

193

:

if the actual laws were on

the books were followed.

194

:

If there weren't policies in place that

circumvented the laws, immigration laws,

195

:

if there weren't bureaucrats and elected

officials who think that they know better,

196

:

that they know better for this country

197

:

and have sanctuary city status

and then aren't even,

198

:

you know, don't even want to work

with federal authorities

199

:

to get someone who is here

illegally that has committed crimes.

200

:

We can have a separate conversation,

201

:

a separate conversation

for people who are here illegally

202

:

that are gainfully employed,

that are paying taxes,

203

:

you know, that aren't just living off

of the welfare state in our country.

204

:

We can be a totally different

conversation.

205

:

Right.

206

:

But once you are here illegally

207

:

and then you go ahead

and you break the law, a second time

208

:

should be out

209

:

because what are you bringing to America?

210

:

What is your contribution

to American society

211

:

in this man?

212

:

Jose, You borrow again.

213

:

He was arrested in New York City,

214

:

but New York did not keep him

long enough for ICE to come pick him up.

215

:

His opportunity to commit this murder

216

:

should never have been an opportunity.

217

:

It should have never existed.

218

:

And since this murder,

since since last Thursday,

219

:

the University of Georgia is adding

220

:

they've been out $7.3

million worth of security upgrades.

221

:

All right.

222

:

So it's better, better

lighting, more cameras, call boxes.

223

:

We had call boxes

at the University of Florida.

224

:

There are these blue columns of sorts.

225

:

There are about six 6 to 8 feet tall.

226

:

And inside was a a button in a dial pad

where you could call for help

227

:

and it would sound this alarm strobe

light and everything else would go off

228

:

to say like, hey,

someone needs help in this area.

229

:

Governor Brian Kemp,

the governor of Georgia,

230

:

has said

that Riley's death was preventable,

231

:

correct?

232

:

It was preventable.

233

:

It was preventable

until the idiots in charge

234

:

decided that they know best,

235

:

that they know best.

236

:

And I remind you,

237

:

a lot of these sanctuary city policies

like not around the country,

238

:

are just a snap reaction to Trump

239

:

wanting to build the border wall

240

:

right.

241

:

It was just a snap reaction.

242

:

Like I've talked about this

243

:

multiple times in multiple episodes

about the progressive mindset.

244

:

The progressive mindset is that you have

to just keep going further down the road,

245

:

closer and closer and closer to the cliff

until you eventually just fall off.

246

:

There's no rationality or logic

to a lot of their decisions.

247

:

They just think, we got to do the next

thing, we got to take the next step.

248

:

And that is what has happened here.

249

:

Their congressmen that have been asking

250

:

for more details about Jose Ibarra,

251

:

Congressman, saying that Biden,

the sanctuary cities are responsible.

252

:

They are.

253

:

And then there are some congressmen,

254

:

Democrats,

255

:

that are saying not to make snap judgments

about immigration policy.

256

:

Now, yeah, I just talked

about how they've already been

257

:

they've already made snap judgments

regarding immigration policy by

258

:

instituting these sanctuary city laws.

259

:

But now after the murder of a 22 year

old girl who was innocent

260

:

and just going out for her

jogging and living life. Right.

261

:

And nursing student getting ready

to graduate probably in 1 to 2 years

262

:

and just going into into their career

263

:

and their their adult life,

their professional adult life.

264

:

Her life is just taken

265

:

because someone

266

:

who is not supposed to be here was here

and had the opportunity to do so.

267

:

But now we're not supposed

to make any immigration policy changes.

268

:

But why would that be?

269

:

Why would that be

270

:

in the White House?

271

:

You know, they pick and choose

272

:

when they want to pipe up

and how quickly they want to pipe up.

273

:

This happened on Thursday.

274

:

They didn't say anything Friday.

275

:

They finally came out on Monday and said

276

:

this, “We would like to extend

277

:

our deepest condolences to the family

278

:

and loved ones of Laken Hope Riley.”

279

:

“People should be held accountable

280

:

to the fullest extent of the law

if they are found to be guilty.

281

:

Given this is an active case,

282

:

we would have to refer

you to state law enforcement

283

:

and ICE.”

284

:

That's it.

285

:

That's all they said.

286

:

Now, mind you, they say plenty of things

287

:

when it's to their benefit

politically for them,

288

:

but this is not to their benefit.

289

:

So what are they doing?

290

:

Go to ICE.

291

:

Go to state law enforcement.

292

:

Don't look at us.

293

:

Don't look at us.

294

:

But you know what ICE is saying,

and rightfully so.

295

:

They're saying, hey, we tried to get him

296

:

when he broke the law

297

:

in New York and endangered the child

who was driving, you know,

298

:

with an unregistered vehicle

and without a license and everything else.

299

:

We tried to detain him,

300

:

but New York City

301

:

chose not to work with us.

302

:

And you may have noticed

303

:

in that White House response

there was no mention

304

:

of Jose Ybarra,

305

:

no mention that the person who was being

306

:

accused of committing this crime

at the time of their statement on Monday,

307

:

this was a Ybarra

who is an illegal immigrant,

308

:

not only who broke the law

to come to get into this country

309

:

because he did not come through

the designated port of entry.

310

:

But in addition to that,

broke the law again

311

:

in New York City.

312

:

But there's no mention,

no mention of an illegal immigrant.

313

:

But you better be damn sure

that if this was something that benefited

314

:

the White House politically,

315

:

they would have mentioned the nationality

316

:

or the race of the individual,

that's for sure.

317

:

Now, I don't want to know again,

318

:

there are 75,000,

319

:

roughly 75,000 Venezuelans in Orlando.

320

:

I know many of them,

and they are fantastic, wonderful people.

321

:

Their culture is great.

322

:

The family culture that they have, the

food, fantastic, you know,

323

:

wonderful people.

324

:

So I want to clearly separate

those individuals

325

:

from this individual.

326

:

The failed policies

327

:

led to

328

:

Jose Ibarra still being in this country,

329

:

U.S. immigration policies.

330

:

And I'm sure you know,

331

:

because this has been talked about,

especially if you follow this channel,

332

:

you know that immigration is a huge issue.

333

:

And Republicans have been talking about

immigration for the entirety of the Biden

334

:

administration, which is coming up

on, you know, three complete years

335

:

starting our fourth year. Right.

336

:

Seeing roughly more than 8 million people

come into this country.

337

:

Encounters

338

:

averaging roughly 30

339

:

300,000 individuals per month,

340

:

encounters

341

:

at the southern border.

342

:

All you have to do

343

:

to get released into the interior

344

:

is you just have to

show up at a port of entry.

345

:

This is the bare minimum, right?

346

:

Or this is the proper way

to show up at the port of entry,

347

:

to claim fear of returning

348

:

to your home country

and you're given asylum.

349

:

And because there is not space at the

detention centers at the southern border.

350

:

You are then released on parole

into the United States of America.

351

:

Now, the tracking

of the of those individuals is not robust.

352

:

So the odds that those people are going to

353

:

then show up for their hearing,

which could be years down the road,

354

:

is small.

355

:

And in this case of Jose Ibarra

356

:

and many others, he didn't even come

to a designated port of entry

357

:

and he was still paroled

and released into the interior,

358

:

still paroled

and released into the interior.

359

:

So you may be wondering

360

:

why wasn't when he was

361

:

first detained right

by Customs and Border Patrol,

362

:

why wasn't

he just returned back to Venezuela?

363

:

Well, that's a great question,

and I'm glad you asked that.

364

:

See, so Maduro

365

:

down there in Venezuela is not a good guy.

366

:

He has ruined the country.

367

:

And under the Trump administration, Trump

368

:

put sanctions on Venezuela,

369

:

which hurt their economy.

370

:

Now, the Biden administration comes in

371

:

and this is typical of them, right?

372

:

Typical of the Biden administration

and a lot of people on the left,

373

:

they think, yeah, So those sanctions,

374

:

they're doing a lot of damage

to the people in Venezuela.

375

:

So instead of continuing

376

:

to hold their President

Maduro, accountable and wanting

377

:

President Maduro to actually make changes

to improve the economy in Venezuela,

378

:

we are going to lift those sanctions.

379

:

This is the Biden administration lift

those sanctions

380

:

to help improve the lives

and the economy of Venezuela.

381

:

So Maduro,

382

:

in order to have those sanctions lifted,

383

:

had to agree to hold a fair

and presidential election.

384

:

But what did Maduro do?

385

:

Maduro did not do that.

386

:

He actually jailed

his political opposition.

387

:

And when that and when that happened

388

:

or actually before that happened,

the Biden administration was

389

:

was deporting a total

390

:

of about 1800 Venezuelans

back to Venezuela,

391

:

1800 Venezuelans

when those sanctions were lifted.

392

:

Maduro agreed.

393

:

Okay, we'll take some of these people

back.

394

:

Biden administration was sending them.

395

:

And then once Maduro did

not do what he was supposed

396

:

to do with the free and fair election,

presidential election.

397

:

Sanctions went back on to Venezuela.

398

:

And this is all within the past year,

399

:

all within the past year.

400

:

And Maduro doesn't like that.

401

:

Maduro does not like those sanctions

being reinstated.

402

:

So what has Maduro done?

403

:

Maduro is now telling

404

:

now telling the United States of America.

405

:

No, it's telling us,

406

:

no, you will not

We will not accept any more deportations.

407

:

That is what Maduro

408

:

is telling us, no longer

409

:

accepting deportations.

410

:

And that's just perfect, right?

411

:

There are more than roughly

700,000 Venezuelans have.

412

:

So 40,000, I believe, is

the number have come to America, at least

413

:

within the last 1 to 2 years.

414

:

Again, most of them

415

:

great people want to do honest work.

416

:

But you would be foolish to believe

that there would not be bad apples

417

:

within a group of 700,000 people.

418

:

More and more Venezuelan

419

:

immigrants

420

:

are committing crimes where the crime rate

421

:

is increasing in the United States.

422

:

Venezuelan immigrants have been linked

to more crimes in the United States,

423

:

mainly in New York City and Chicago,

424

:

related to gang violence and retail crime.

425

:

New York City cops have been shot

426

:

by illegal Venezuelan immigrants.

427

:

There is retail crime and other violence

428

:

in Chicago.

429

:

And now Maduro is telling us that, no,

he will no such anywhere deportations.

430

:

How great is it

431

:

that Maduro.

432

:

Well, let's just think this through.

433

:

Maduro, who doesn't like

the United States of America, thinks,

434

:

the United States of America

is incentivized, has incentives that once

435

:

people, mainly Venezuelans

436

:

or to enter to flee my country

and go into their country,

437

:

I don't like the United States of America.

438

:

They're putting these economic sanctions

439

:

on me, oil, gold,

a couple of different other industries.

440

:

How can I get

the United States of America back?

441

:

How can I pay them back?

442

:

You know what? I'm going to sprinkle in

443

:

some of the

444

:

bad people in my country

and put them in the United States

445

:

and then tell them, no,

you cannot send them back.

446

:

How ridiculous and stupid

447

:

do we look as a country?

448

:

We are allowing this to happen.

449

:

And I say we as a country

because there needs to be

450

:

improvement in immigration law,

which that has to be Congress.

451

:

But then are the laws that are in place.

452

:

The Biden administration is not using

the power, the authority of the executive

453

:

branch of the president to enact the laws,

certain laws that are in place.

454

:

You may remember when he when Biden

administration began the first day, first

455

:

two days of his of his presidency

after he was sworn in, he got rid

456

:

of many of the executive orders that Trump

put in place to help secure the border.

457

:

The remain in Mexico gone.

458

:

So now we have made our bed

459

:

and are having to lie in it.

460

:

We're being told by another leader

that we can not send

461

:

the violent criminals

from their country back

462

:

to their home country.

463

:

And I kind of feel like

this is what we deserve.

464

:

This is what we deserve.

465

:

And this isn't just for immigration.

466

:

This is going to be across

a lot of different

467

:

cultural things in this country.

468

:

It is going to take I firmly believe this.

469

:

We are going to have to go downhill

470

:

farther than we already are.

471

:

Before we start to turn back

and go uphill as a country,

472

:

we are going to have to

473

:

suffer more before we see improvement,

474

:

right?

475

:

It's like we're just as a society

or many of us

476

:

in this country just think, well, you

know, this is this won't have any effect.

477

:

This won't have any effect.

478

:

And then once it does have an effect,

it's like, crap.

479

:

If I was actually sane and rational,

480

:

logical person, that would have foreseen

this and we could have prevented this.

481

:

But since I wasn't.

482

:

Now we're dealing with the consequences.

483

:

And dang, these consequences are terrible.

484

:

So now let's actually try

to fix something.

485

:

I think the United States,

what we're we're going

486

:

have to keep going further down

before we can actually turn

487

:

back up and improve.

488

:

But we look weak

489

:

in relation to in relation

to what Maduro is doing

490

:

by saying,

no, we will not accept any deportations.

491

:

That makes us look weak.

492

:

We are having to keep violent criminals

493

:

that are illegal immigrants

in our own country.

494

:

They cannot send them back.

495

:

And actually,

even if we could send them back,

496

:

they would just be able

to come right back across.

497

:

Right back across?

498

:

Yes. They would be checked

before released on parole

499

:

if they, you know,

probably any kind of system.

500

:

But who's to say

they can't get another identity?

501

:

Who's to say they can't get another I.D.?

502

:

We're just sneak through,

503

:

as many guys always have.

504

:

The incentives we have in

this country is attracting

505

:

these millions of illegal immigrants

to the United States of America.

506

:

So not only do we need to tighten up

our immigration laws,

507

:

we also need to change the incentives

508

:

that we are given or that are being given

509

:

to lure people here,

510

:

to incentivize people here

511

:

to actually come to this country

and use our immigration

512

:

laws and policies and system

513

:

to their advantage.

514

:

If we're offering you a place to live,

515

:

food to eat,

516

:

you know, temporary paperwork

to get a job,

517

:

and these are things

that you do not have in medical care.

518

:

Don't forget medical care.

519

:

And these are things

you didn't have in your home country.

520

:

Why wouldn't you try to come here?

521

:

Sure.

522

:

The cost of living

is one in the United States.

523

:

But why wouldn't you want to come here?

524

:

Right.

525

:

This opportunity that Jose Ibarra took

526

:

or allegedly took,

527

:

you know, he hasn't had trial yet.

528

:

To kill Laken.

529

:

Riley

530

:

should never have been

531

:

an opportunity.

532

:

It should have never

533

:

existed.

534

:

But because we are shortsighted

and selfish

535

:

and frankly, at times just stupid.

536

:

The leadership,

the politicians, the bureaucrats,

537

:

the policymakers

538

:

that are in charge of these things,

539

:

we are now having to

deal with the consequences.

540

:

And one of these consequences?

541

:

The gang violence in New York and Chicago,

the retail

542

:

crime in New York and Chicago

and other cities,

543

:

now that we are having to deal

with these consequences,

544

:

I hope that we are finally actually

going to make some changes.

545

:

And these are not snap, you know, snap

changes to policies and laws.

546

:

These are long overdue.

547

:

The rise in immigration and crime has

548

:

over the past couple of years

during the Biden administration

549

:

and again, we had hundreds of thousands

of people coming in under Trump,

550

:

hundreds of thousands of people

coming in under Obama.

551

:

So there is an issue that has to be fixed,

552

:

but there should never have been

553

:

an opportunity

554

:

for Hosni Mubarak to take the life

555

:

of Laken. Riley.
