Defending the Fourth Amendment: Rep Keith Self on Border Vetting, Bank Defenses, and FISA

from John Solomon Reports

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, Texas Republican Congressman Keith Self joins to discuss major legislative fights in Washington and the House Freedom Caucus’s push for structural reform. Self breaks down his newly proposed Know Your Customer Act, a companion bill to GOP Senator Tom Cotton’s measure, which seeks to cut off illegal immigrants from the American banking system and enforce self-deportation by making it impossible for them to remain financially active in the country. Self updates listeners on the tightening timeline for FISA reform ahead of the June 12th deadline, warning of dangerous data broker loopholes and a massive expansion of the surveillance state. In the second segment, California GOP Congressman Jay Obernolte reacts to the state’s primary elections, describing how one-party governance in Sacramento, the state capital, has hollowed out the middle class and driven a massive migration to red states. As a leading voice on technology policy, Obernolte provides analysis on the rise of artificial intelligence, outlining the House AI Task Force’s focus on content labeling and content authenticity over ineffective watermarking mandates. Lastly, Mark Trammell, CEO of the Center for American Liberty, joins the program to dissect a superseding indictment involving the Southern Poverty Law Center. Trammell details bombshell allegations that the progressive nonprofit used donor dollars to fund shell companies and fictitious bank accounts to pay informants, who allegedly orchestrated, recruited for, and funded extremis t events like the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally to artificially inflate hate-crime perceptions and boost fundraising.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
