Migrant Caravan

JP Sottile joined me in the first hour for our 2018 Midterm Election Special. JP talked about the massive amounts of data coming in regarding this highly contested midterm. We talked about the role of women voters, MeToo, and the side shows like the “Migrant Caravan.” Later JP and I discussed several interesting Senate races including Missouri. JP also talked about Trump’s use of neo-fascist imagery and rhetoric to energize his base.

The feds pressured transportation companies to not pick up migrants along the way, which forced them to walk through an unsafe area. As many as 20,000 migrants a year are kidnapped and ransomed by criminal gangs, and three out of five women and girls are raped.

Last week, Fox News banned Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch after he claimed that the “Soros-occupied State Department” was funding the large caravan of migrants at the US border. Apparently, this statement of simple truth was viewed by Fox News as anti-Semitic.

The first caravan departed from Honduras one month ago and is now making its way through the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
More caravans have since formed from Honduras and El Salvador, and are following the lead caravan through Guatemala and Mexico.
At a press conference last Thursday, US President Trump reiterated his intention to take strong measures in response to the thousands of illegal migrants heading towards the US southern border. More than 5,000 members of the military have already been deployed, with the total number possibly reaching 15,000 troops.

WASHINGTON  — Since President Donald Trump first directed the outrage of his supporters at a Central American migrant caravan making its way towards the United States a little over a week ago, his plan to deploy between 5,200 and 15,000 active-duty U.S. soldiers to the border has provoked mixed reactions within the United States.

The highly divisive drama in the US, concerning the ‘Migrant Caravan’ from Central America, is clearly being manipulated and stage-managed by the media and by rival propaganda campaigns that are using vulnerable human beings as tools for mass manipulation and division. In fact, this isn’t new: this seems to be a re-run of the 2015-onwards […]

Journalists have joined Venezuela officials in ridiculing allegations made on Tuesday by US Vice President Mike Pence that Venezuela is financing the migrant caravan traversing Central America en route to the Mexican-US border.
Pence, in an interview with the Washington Post, claimed that US-allied Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez had told him that the 7000-strong migrant march is “organized by leftist groups in Honduras, financed by Venezuela, and sent north to challenge our sovereignty and challenge our border.”

Mark Collett joins Henrik to talk about MSM's "outrage reactions" to Trump declaring that he is a nationalist. The caravan from Honduras is getting closer to the US border, we ask who the organizers are and what they motive is? We continue discussing IsraAid, HIAS and Faith Goldy's campaign.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) questioned why the caravan was deployed just before the midterm election, as deportation and separating children from parents who cross into the US illegally is a hot-button issue.  Gaetz also suggested George Soros and NGOs funded the scheme.
