Now, here are the big stories you may have missed that we talked about this week. First up, it is a reverse Uno card as the app that used to let you just run into America. The Biden administration use is now a self deporting app. I'll give you those details in a moment. Also, the Biden administration did nothing to stop the anti-Semitic protests on college campuses.
Well, now some of those students are being arrested. We'll have the difference maker and what's happening at the White House behind this. And finally, Elon Musk and Doge have uncovered unbelievable amounts of loans going to children, young children during the pandemic. It's the Week in Review and it starts right now. Let's deal with a really fun story, and it deals with an app.
I call it the Reverse Uno Card. You remember that app that allowed for countless people to come into this country and just walk in knowing they were here illegally? And it was an app that was exploited by the Biden-Harris administration.
Well, we got a Reverse Uno Card now, Senator, because we've got a new app, and it does actually the exact opposite of that, which is you can hurry up and self-deport yourself.

Chapter 2: How has the CBP One app been transformed into a self-deportation tool?
Well, it's beautiful. So the Biden administration launched an app called the CBP One app. And here's what Bill Mlusion, who's the best reporter on immigration for Fox News. Here's what he reported. Quote, Scoop, the Trump admin has repurposed the controversial Biden era CBP One cell phone app into a self deportation app called CBP Home that launches today.
DHS tells me any migrants who had prior CBB1 app will have it auto-update to this new app. And DHS can use data from prior CBB1 registrations to track migrants for removal. The new app allows illegal aliens and migrants in the US to register with CBP to self-deport.
They fill out biographical information, including their countries of citizenship, which country they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers, contact information, and it allows them to upload photos of themselves to confirm their identity. All of it then is submitted to CPB as they leave the country. You may ask yourself, why would an illegal alien want to self-deport?
In a statement to Fox News, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem answered the question, quote, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don't, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return, Noem said. The Biden administration exploited the CBB1 app. to allow more than one million aliens to enter the United States.
Chapter 3: Why is the Trump administration's self-deportation app significant?
With the launching of CBP Home App, we're restoring integrity to our immigration system.
This may be one of the simplest yet biggest turn of events for a win on law and order at our southern border dealing with the issue of legal immigration. I just got to say, well done to the Trump administration on this one. And they keep paying off on their promises to the American people.
So, Ben, I got to say, I don't know if this is going to work or not, but I got to say, if you're an illegal immigrant, you came to this country, you went to a human trafficker, you were coming from, say, Central America, came up through Mexico and the Biden administration said, hey, we've got an app. Fill out your information. You can come here and we'll let you in. And you filled it out.
You came to America. And suddenly over your cell phone, you get, oh, crap. Wait, they want me to go home. And if I don't go home, they're going to find me. They're going to arrest me. They're going to send me home. And the consequences are I can never come back. I don't know how many people are going to respond to this, but I think this is fabulous. Listen, my view on immigration is simple.
I've summed up my immigration view in four words many times. Legal, good, illegal, bad. For the people who are here illegally, the Trump administration is leaning in, saying we're going to secure the border. We're going to remove you. And by the way, going back to our first story, if you were a pro-Hamas, radical, anti-Semite protester... And you're not a U.S. citizen. Bye bye.
You're going to be deported. You're going to be expelled. You're going to be thrown out of this country. That is a view that makes an enormous amount of sense to me. And we will see. And by the way, if we get the data on how many people have used this app, we'll report on this data on this podcast.
But the simple act of saying, all right, the prior administration opened up our borders and let you in. We're now enforcing them. I say bravo, bravo, bravo.
Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week. Now on to story number two. This is something that you guys have also been focused on on Capitol Hill when it comes to calling out the Biden administration for doing nothing about the anti-Semitic protests that took place on our college campuses.
And part of this is you've got to have a spotlight on it.

Chapter 4: What actions are being taken against anti-Semitism on college campuses?
not a one so a month into the new congress republicans have the majority we held a hearing this past week on anti-semitism the democrats were terrified they didn't want to talk about it but but i i took the opportunity listen i gotta say this issue pisses me off what we've seen happen to our schools and so i want you to listen to my questioning of the witnesses and what i had to say last week at the hearing on anti-semitism give a listen
Antisemitism is evil, it is wrong, and it is flourishing with the acquiescence and in many cases active participation of students, of faculty, of administrators, and government officials. And sadly, the Democrat Party has a deep and pervasive problem confronting this evil.
For the last two years, in the wake of October 7th, this committee held zero hearings on antisemitism in the United States, despite the fact that Republicans repeatedly called for it. The acts of violence prior to October 7th, 3,669 antisemitic incidents occurred in the United States. Following October 7th, in less than three months, that number spiked to over 5,000.
In 2024, that number skyrocketed to 10,005 antisemitic incidents. This problem is particularly acute on our college campuses. Columbia University. Columbia University was a major epicenter where they encouraged, tolerated, and celebrated this vicious and vile antisemitism.
Rabbi Eli Buehler emailed every Jewish student on campus and said, quote, the events of the last few days have made it clear that Columbia University's public safety cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety in the face of extreme anti-Semitism and anarchy. I would strongly recommend you return home. This is the rabbi at the university saying, your school will not protect your safety.
And Columbia didn't do a damn thing about it. And I'll tell you what, the rabbi wasn't crazy. Here is one picture taken on the campus of Columbia. In the back are Jewish students waving American flags and Israeli flags. In the front is a Columbia student wearing a mask because these cowards are oh so brave they cover their faces, holding a handwritten sign that says Al-Qassam's next targets.
Al-Qassam is the military branch of Hamas. Understand what this student is saying. She is calling for the murder of her Jewish classmates. And by the way, this student, the internet being what it is, she's been identified now on the internet. This is not a Palestinian who's subject to oppression. This is a rich blonde girl from Atlanta.
whose parents are multi-millionaire real estate developers, and they got so proud, I'm sending my child to an Ivy League education where she'll be indoctrinated to dress up and advocate Hamas murdering Jewish students because they are Jews. Now, if you agree that is evil and vile, let me ask you something. We're the Democrats. Not a one is here.
And it's because the Democrat Party has decided the pro-Hamas wing of the party is more important than protecting Jewish students in America. And if you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer. Texting with Columbia said the following.

Chapter 5: How has antisemitism increased in recent years according to Ted Cruz?
On January 4th, then President of Columbia, Shafik explained to Shipman and her fellow co-chair David Greenwald that she had met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who advised Shafik that universities' political problems about anti-Semitism are really only among Republicans. We the Democrats, we don't care about this anti-Semitism stuff. Ms.
Lewin, am I the only person that has noticed that these anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic protests, that the tents all match?
No, you are not the only one to have noticed.
Is it clear that there is significant money funding these attacks on Jewish students and attacks on America?
It is clear that there is coordination and there must be some common funding.
In the last two years under the Biden Justice Department, are you aware of any investigation to follow the money behind these protests?
I am not.
Are you aware of anyone who has been indicted for funding these protests?
I am not.

Chapter 6: What are the potential consequences for universities tolerating anti-Semitism?
Are you aware of any university that has had their Title VI federal funds cut off because they've tolerated welcome, celebrated, and as Senator Hawley put out, had their own officials cheering on anti-Semitism as even one university lost their funding?
I am not aware of any university having actually lost their funds.
And I'll point out also some of the defenders say free speech, free speech. You're right. You have a free speech right as an American citizen to say vile, hateful, bigoted things. Let me ask you something.
If a university student went into the public square dressed up in a Klan outfit, burned a cross and said we should murder African-American students, do you have any doubt the university would expel that student?
I am fairly certain that the universities would take action and ensure that their policies were followed.
They should expel them if they're foreign students. They should be deported. And mark my words, if you are horrified at the anti-Semitism, you will see the Trump Department of Justice follow the money prosecute the people who are paying for this, prosecute those engaged in violence, and cut off the money from universities that are tolerating and celebrating this. That is the rule of law.
And ask yourself, why did the Biden Justice Department do absolutely nothing about this horror that is unfolding?
Senator, it was unbelievable to hear you call it out. And I do think we just have to remind people this is systematic on our college campuses, especially the Ivy Leagues. I go back in my head to Harvard and just the defiance of some of these individuals when they were testifying before Congress. They had no problem standing with these anti-Semitic protesters.
Look, because they believe the same things. The administrators, they have been teaching the same poison. The faculty has been teaching the same poison. And I'll note that clip you played while I was questioning at the hearing on anti-Semitism. As I noted, not a single Democrat senator was in the room. The hearing room was empty. And that really spoke volumes. They don't want to talk about this.
