Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, we have seen that there's over 5,000 illegal immigrants coming from many different countries pouring through the border every day.
Of course, this is no migration.
This is not immigration.
This is an invasion.
Seriously.
And it's destroying our country and turning into God knows what.
Trump says that we have the right to close our border.
We don't need any special bills to help us with it and confuse everything.
They come from mental institution, he says.
They're coming from jail.
They're coming from prisons.
A bunch of them who don't even speak English, we don't know where they came from, just beat up a bunch of cops in New York City.
And you have the right to close up your border.
You don't need bills.
That complicate it and make it to a level that nobody's going to be able to do it.
And the minimum was 5,000 people a day, if that can be right.
It's hard to believe that that can be right.
But they were negotiating to allow 5,000 people a day?
That's a tremendous amount.
Nobody wants to have that happen to our country.
And they're still not going to know where they're coming from.
Right now, we have no idea who these people are that are pouring into our countries.
Last night, I watched where they're beating up police officers in New York City, a gang of people that just came in that didn't speak English.
Nobody knows who they are, where they come from.
And very importantly, they come from, I can tell you, they come from jails and prisons.
They come from mental institutions and insane asylums.
And they're terrorists.
They have a lot of terrorists coming, too.
And we don't want them.
I'm sorry.
So we had a very strong border.
So what's going on and how is this going to seriously impact our country?
Well, Chris Salcedo is here to join us.
I've been on his show several times, but he hasn't been on Shots Fired yet.
So it's great to have him.
Chris Salcedo is the host of the Chris Salcedo Show on Newsmax and the Salcedo Storm, his podcast.
So Chris Salcedo, thanks so much for joining us on Shots Fired.
How are you?
Great to be with you.
It's great to be here.
So, all right.
So, Chris, this is an invasion, and it's obviously planned and orchestrated.
And of course, it always seems to happen right in the beginning of a new year and the beginning of an election cycle.
Well, that's when we start talking about it some more.
But this is, as you know, this has been an ongoing.
For three years, Beijing Biden has facilitated the systematic importation of illegal aliens from 168 countries from around the globe.
The agenda at play is myriad, but there's several things.
There's a political agenda and then there's the real-world ramifications.
The political agenda from both parties is simple.
For all their caterwauling, the Republicans have not stopped one.
Illegal alien from coming across that border in the last three years.
Not one.
The only one to successfully take this seriously is President Donald J. Trump.
So let's get that on the record right now.
Republicans and Democrats have colluded and conspired for the better part of a half century to go against their own voters on illegal immigration.
You have a majority in this country that opposes illegal immigration, but a majority in the Congress at any given time that supports it.
Right?
Republican, Democrat, doesn't really matter.
Two different motivations.
The Republicans want cheap labor for their woke companies.
They want it at all costs.
As a matter of fact, Republicans are willing to lose elections for the next 10, 20, 50 years if they have to, to deliver cheap labor and to allow a second-class citizenry to develop in this country where they can...
Frankly, pay folks who look like me and have surnames like me less money.
That's exactly what the Republicans want for their woke companies.
And the Democrats want to bring in a second class so they can, you know, do their laundry and make their beds in their hotel rooms and their swanky digs and also to give them the vote.
They want to be able to cancel out American votes.
And they want to bring in a whole bunch of people who really don't care about the Constitution, don't understand the Constitution, or the freedoms and the liberties that it provides.
So that's why both political parties are colluding against our own people to facilitate rampant, uncontrolled illegal immigration.
And we're looking at 10 million illegal aliens in this country on top of the 30 million that were already here beforehand just in the last three years.
It's incredible.
I mean, 10 million people on top of the 30 million people, that is significant.
I mean, that is a culture shift.
That's not just a small number.
That's a huge percentage of our current population.
And I mean, the other agenda, I think, I believe, is to mix everything up so much in our culture that there are no American values anymore.
There's no such thing as the Constitution or the American values that we hold dear anymore.
There's no such thing as traditional values or gratitude towards America.
That's all just been washed away.
It's just a big stew of people who really actually don't care about being in America.
They just care about getting free stuff or they care about destroying America and making it all the same.
There's no nationalism anymore, right?
Well, yeah.
Well, multiculturalism.
See, multiculturalism.
The left has been pushing this garbage through GovEd and through these institutions of higher learning and the biased press saying, well, multiculturalism is great.
That means you aren't racist.
Well, no, wait a minute.
That's not what it means at all.
When you have a culture, a singular culture, you have a unifying set of principles that your people all agree with and support and work toward maintaining.
And the American culture was very, very good.
The Western culture was very, very good.
And that's why our enemies at home and abroad have sought to destroy it.
Right.
I mean, there's a reason why there was the term American exceptionalism.
And people wanted to come here, and people wanted to come here the right way.
And they had immense gratitude for being in this country afterwards.
And now that's all ripped to shreds.
And it's sad because you can see it in the behavior of people.
True.
There's even Democrats, you know, there's a lot of videos of registered Democrats who say, okay, this is enough.
I can't take this anymore.
If you want to come in this country, great, but do it the right way.
Really?
So it's interesting, like, yeah, there are some sort of things.
I know, I have seen no Democrat, as a matter of fact, there's a poll that just came out.
I can't remember who put it out, but it was 55% of Democrat voters would support a candidate who wants open borders.
That's why I've said that the Democrats...
Wow, I guess the tide isn't shifting quickly enough for them then.
Right, yeah.
I mean, I've said this.
I don't believe Democrats want to be Americans anymore.
They don't want to live under the Constitution.
They want some sort of European socialist, totalitarian central government that tells us how to live our lives, so long as they're the ones in charge.
They wouldn't like it if conservatives were in charge telling them how to live their lives, but they want that for the rest of us.
By the way, you mentioned that video in New York.
Isn't that the Democrats' dream?
I mean, look at what you had.
You had cops.
Of course, you all know the Democrat Party hates cops.
They're defunding police all over this country.
That's the Democrat way, defunding cops.
So here come these illegal aliens, also a product of Democrats, coming in and kicking the garbage, exuding crime and violence onto cops.
I mean, that was, the Democrats just said, oh man, this is great, all in one story.
The socialists in New York Can't get enough of illegal aliens coming into their city, beating up their cops, and those illegal aliens being released in two days free.
Free as a jaybird, no problem.
You can beat up on cops in New York, and the socialists that run New York are going to let you out.
And isn't it wonderful to be a cop in New York?
Right, exactly.
And if we do another poll, though, another poll that asks Democrats how many of you would be welcoming an illegal immigrant who did not speak English into your home and host them for a year, pretty sure those poll numbers would go down pretty rapidly.
Because no one else, no one wants to host them in their own home and feed them and support them.
Most of them would feel even unsafe, but they would be happy to give it in other people's backyards and neighborhoods.
Hey, all you Democrats out there, just so you know, pretty soon you're not going to have a choice.
Pretty soon, dear leader is just going to tell you to take a whole bunch of illegal aliens because dear leader needs them.
So pretty soon it won't be your choice.
Go ahead.
Keep on voting Democrat.
Yeah, be a host family for once.
Be a host home.
Love to see the turnout of that.
All right, switching topics a little bit.
You know, on your podcast this week, you talked about how Trump can rearrange, Trump can basically reset the damage of the deep state that it's caused in the last couple years.
Do you believe that?
How, if Trump was elected president, do you think that he could just reverse the damage of the swamp?
He has to.
It's not a matter if he can.
It's a must.
I think the reason why we see a new Trump, and I think everybody that's been watching him and knows him, realizes, wait a minute, this isn't the same Trump we saw back in 2016.
And I remember, I'll remember this like it was yesterday, Rush Limbaugh, the late, great Rush Limbaugh, had a golf outing with Trump about six, seven months into his presidency.
And Rush articulated the story that Trump was honestly surprised.
He said, you know, I thought the Democrats would, you know, wet themselves for, you know, two or three months, you know, get it all out of the system, then we get back to governing America and doing what's best for America.
Remember, Trump has been a Democrat.
He's been a Republican.
He's been a Democrat.
He's been an Independent.
He's been all of them.
So he just figured that, okay, everybody got the politics out of the system.
Let's all get back together and make some good choices for our country.
He didn't realize that We're good to go.
My presidency and the Make America Great Again movement, the America First movement, is such a threat to these people who have built their lives on bilking the American people and not delivering for the American people that he has to.
He has to do a house cleaning.
And I got to tell you that this government is so big, it cannot be administered by the individuals that we send up to Capitol Hill.
It is physically impossible for them to do their constitutionally mandated oversight.
So Trump must.
He must pare down the size and influence of the federal establishment.
Begin with DOJ. Begin with FBI. Begin with the IRS. Begin with all of these useless boards and commissions and get back down to a constitutionally sized government that can be properly administered by 535 individuals in the Congress.
Now, I agree with you.
And as much as I love Trump, support him, and I've always been a loyal Trump supporter, I've got to ask, though, you know, when he was the president of the United States, he had all of that power, and he still chose to have a lot of questionable hires that were deep state hires, a lot of people that he kept around that were very deep state and betrayed him.
And then, especially in the last year of his presidency, he kind of made decisions surrounding COVID and the vaccine, et cetera, that were questionable.
And a lot of people, you know, had some doubt in him and think, well, wait a second, if he didn't drain the swamp during his first term of presidency, and in fact kept a lot of those swamp members around, then what's going to be the difference in the next term of his presidency?
I mean, that's a valid question, right?
No, I think it is a valid question.
First off, on the China virus vaccine, look, he developed it.
He didn't say anybody had to take it.
He just said, we developed it.
We got it out there in record time.
It's up to you.
President Trump, it came much, much later.
The leftists imposing that kind of crap on all of us, sadly.
Now, as far as Trump, I think we all tend to forget That his first term as president was his first job in government, right?
Yeah.
Imagine being thrown in there.
Right.
He ran for office and his first job was president of the United States.
He hit the top, his first go out.
Sometimes I do forget that.
So yeah, and we all do, right?
So you can forgive him for not knowing the ins and the outs and exactly who the rhinos were, who the pro-Democrat Republicans were, who the people that weren't be trusted, who couldn't be trusted.
But now Trump's a very fast learner.
Yeah.
He's very...
And now you see this overwhelming from Liz Cheney, all these deep staters in the go-along-to-get-along Republican Party.
They all know that he's gone to school.
They all know he knows the score now.
So they can't allow him back in.
That's what all this unprecedented lawfare is about.
He knows where the bodies are buried.
He knows how the game is played.
And they're out of tricks.
They've thrown everything they can at him, and he knows it, and they know it.
So that's why this is their last chance.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, I guess the more that they throw at Trump, the more they attack him, the more that it should signal to people his legitimacy, that he truly is an outsider, and he truly is dangerous to them, or else why would they try so hard to kick him down and make sure that he is not...
Not so much...
Even though I do believe he's legit, I'm just saying, it's not so much about legitimacy, it's about the threat he poses to the status quo that has been working to our detriment, lo, these many decades.
The Republican-Democrat establishment cabal.
Let me give you an example.
It's been 27 years.
Since the Congress has done a budget.
27 years they've been doing this omnibus continuing resolution garbage.
These fake budgets.
And do you think it's any accident we're 34 trillion dollars in debt?
No.
Who did that to us?
Members of Congress who are too lazy to actually do their jobs.
And Trump did something miraculous.
He showed up and he said, I made a promise and I'm going to keep it.
You know how foreign that is to a guy like Mitch McConnell?
Do you know how foreign that is to a guy like Paul Ryan?
It's a different planet, speaking a different language.
They just don't understand.
What do you mean you're going to do something for your constituents?
That's crazy talk.
We Republicans are here for Democrats and only Democrats.
That's how they think.
That's true.
That's a very good point.
Wow.
I mean, it's a lot to think about, and there's going to be a lot of waves happening in the next year.
It's going to be a really, really interesting presidential race, I think, that we've never seen before, because they got very, very desperate last election season, and we know what happened then.
I can't imagine what other tricks they're going to pull up their sleeves in this election cycle.
Buckle up.
Buckle up.
That's all I've got to say.
It's going to get wicked.
We're going to see stuff we never thought would happen in America.
I promise you.
That's so crazy.
All right.
Speaking of that, you said that there's some big news coming out of Texas that you wanted to talk about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
About the Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell folks.
You probably don't know the name.
Maybe you do because he's now rather infamous around the country.
He is now one of only two Republicans who actually appoint Democrat chairs with the expressed purpose of killing conservative bills in Texas.
His name is Speaker Dade Phelan.
He is the third most powerful politician in the state of Texas, and he just handed in a legislative session in Texas that was completely left-wing because he was doing everything in service he could possibly for Democrats.
He's chosen by Democrats, and he elects Democrat chairs, and he is, again, until just this last couple of months, he's been the only Republican in America, the only Republican speaker, to appoint Democrat chairs.
Well, President Trump has endorsed his opponent, saying it's time to fire the guy named Dade Phelan, Speaker Dade Phelan in Texas.
So Trump is starting to play, recognizing he needs all the support he can get in the states.
he's got the support of Governor Abbott he's got the support of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick but he's got a whole bunch of rhinos inside the Texas State House led by this guy by the name of Dade Phelan and this all started a few years ago when something I call the Gang of 11 coup where a bunch of weak-kneed Republicans got together with Democrats and said who do you want the speaker to be so they went to this minority Democrat
They all voted for the Republican they wanted.
And then all he had to do was he had to peel away three or four or ten Republicans, buy them off.
And then all of a sudden he was Speaker.
And the conservatives were shut out.
And that has been the case in Texas going on now almost two decades.
So Trump is doing his level best to change that dynamic in Texas.
That's great, because again, you know, criticism of Trump, but he did also endorse a lot of rhinos over the last few years, too.
And we're thinking like, why did he endorse that person?
They're a rhino.
Can't he see it?
So do you think that he's finally starting to catch on?
Now who's determining, getting a better sixth sense of who's a rhino and who's someone who's truly on our side?
I hope so.
I truly hope so.
I mean, Kevin McCarthy.
I mean, frankly, I said this today on the Newsmax show.
That's why I'm wearing the tie visiting with you.
I just got off the Newsmax show.
I was talking with Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes would come on my program and he said, look, And this was before the 2022 midterms.
I'm telling my Republican colleagues, you've got to get your subpoenas in order, your documents in order, you've got to hit the ground running on day one, January 1st, 2023.
Well, guess what?
They didn't.
They wasted, they meandered all of last year.
We're now in February of 2024, and we may, may impeach Mayorkas.
We don't know.
Now that the Republicans have whittled down their majority to just one, Probably is not going to happen.
By this point, Don Jr.
had been deposed three times.
Hunter Biden is just now getting called and should have been held in contempt of Congress, but was it because Democrats always get patted on the bum bum?
So I'm hoping Trump really lights a fire under these Republicans and say, you've got to start treating these Democrats the way they treat you.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, come on.
Come on.
We can't be nice.
We can't turn the other cheek anymore.
Because they fight dirty all the time, and we need to start doing the same thing.
Play for keeps, that's for sure.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, because of the Republicans that are our leaders at the moment, again, they're not real Republicans.
They're all just a part of the Uniparty.
And the sooner people understand that, the better.
Yep.
And not leaders either.
It's just a Republican doesn't make them a leader.
Yeah, they're soft and spineless.
So when people start thinking about the coming years ahead or thinking that they feel a little bit hopeless and powerless, and we see so much election fraud going on, what do you say to that?
What are some things that people could do that is within their power, especially in their own neck of the woods?
Well, you know, I always like to say paying attention to your local state races is so important.
The national stuff gets everybody's attention.
And of course, the federal government has been intruding more and more and more into the states.
And frankly, the biggest example I can show you that where states have finally had it up to here is Texas.
Texas is saying, No, we're not going to take it anymore.
We're going to stop the illegal invasion at the border.
You don't have the right in the federal government to tell the states that they must put their own populations at risk of losing their lives, getting beat up, getting harmed, increased crime.
You don't have that right to intentionally inflict harm on our people.
And that's what Texas is saying.
So what you've got to do is you've got to concentrate on your local races.
I mean, from mayor to city council.
To your state rep, to your governors, to your lieutenant governors, to your attorneys general.
You've got to start making your states rock solid to be able to resist federal tyranny.
That's job number one.
Number two, it also starts in your schools.
The reason why you don't recognize your kids anymore is because the parents have lost all power.
It's been given away by Republicans and Democrats to these unelected educrats inside of GovEd.
You must demand wherever you are.
Parental school choice and education freedom.
The reason why Democrats still get votes is because of the domination of leftists inside of GovEd.
If real education was being taught in GovEd, nobody in their right mind would vote for Democrats.
And that's the truth.
So concentrate on your local races, your local areas, and then, you know, when it's appropriate, make sure you turn your proper attention to the national level.
But really, work on hardening your states against leftists because, remember, the states created the federal government, not the other way around.
Amen.
Yeah, I mean, again, Texas is a prime example of that right now.
God bless Texas.
They're doing something right, at least right now.
And finally saying, enough is enough.
Don't tread on me.
I love it.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, as we go into this new year, I like to address problems that are happening right under people's noses, especially parents' noses, that really need to be highlighted.
And it's so dangerous if we don't pay attention to them, because it can very well happen to you or me.
Our next guest is somebody who uncovers these stories and he works firsthand with them.
We've had him on Shots Fired before and we're having him back on to talk about this in more detail.
Sean McMillan is an attorney, an incredible attorney, that fights CPS and the corrupt foster care system.
That's what he specializes in, fighting the corrupt CPS and foster care system that so often takes, rips children from loving parents and homes for no justifiable reason.
He's also got an incredible YouTube channel.
If you haven't checked it out already, you absolutely should.
His YouTube channel has lots of his depositions and videos of his cases, and they're very compelling and interesting to see.
So Sean McMillan, thanks so much again for joining Shots Fired.
How are you?
Really good.
Thanks for having me.
Much appreciated.
Absolutely.
Well, it's just so important.
It's such an important topic.
And we hear about the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war and the border invasion every single day.
But this is an important, probably one of the most important threats to American families and parents.
And children that often just doesn't get talked about.
So it's really important to have you on to talk about this and highlight this.
And I love the fact that you've made this your mission.
So you're talking to me a little bit more about what kind of new things have been popping up for you that you've been seeing more in this world of fighting CPS. Tell us a little bit more about that.
Right.
What we were talking about a little bit earlier was sort of the shift or change in the nature of the case work that's coming across my desk.
Normally, what we focus on is enforcing the constitutional rights that arise under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to protect families, you know, that parent-child relationship from government intrusion.
years of litigating, you know, what we call judicial deception.
That's where the social worker will lie about a parent to take the child away or to keep the child away.
Or doing medical exams, unwarranted medical exams or unwarranted vaccinations or procedures on kids.
You know, that sort of thing.
Yeah, that was the bulk of our cases.
But what we've been seeing lately, and it's really like the last 10 months or so, maybe last year, but it is really coming to the four is the systemic deficiencies in the foster care system itself.
So, And what it looks like has been happening since the 80s, actually, and we'll get into it.
Why?
Cases.
But what the government does is it takes a kid away from its home, you know, frequently in our experience without good reasons.
Right.
We'll put them in a placement with a foster family.
And the problem, there's a lot of problems with that.
Yeah.
But one of the big problems is that the government does not adequately vet these foster placements and very frequently The child gets put with a pedophile.
Or somebody who may not, you know, naturally be a pedophile, but when temptation's there, they do their thing.
Yeah.
They sexually and physically abuse.
But yes, what I've heard so often is sexual abuse.
Yeah, and that's a big, big deal right now.
And in my caseload, and this used to be very rare, but right now at least half of my caseload is adults.
It's comprised of adults who, as children, were placed in a very unsafe foster home where they were, you know, 5, 6, 9, 12-year-old boy or girl, pretty brutally raped.
Sometimes multiple times by adults.
And in the cases I have going on right now, it happened for years.
While the social workers, you know, they document it.
So this isn't like, you know, somebody's just coming forward and saying, I was raped, but there's no proof.
The social workers, they keep notes and they have records and these events are well documented.
In the agency records, it's just that, you know, the kids were taken from their parents at young ages, typically worked through the system for years until they aged out.
So there was nobody there to protect them or to, you know, vindicate their rights.
And then once they get out, they don't, you know, you're a kid, you're 18, you're 19, you don't know about the law or anything like that.
So their statutes of limitations passed and they couldn't do anything.
Yeah, in California, one of the consequences of the Me Too movement Was that our legislature extended the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse.
Basically, the way it works now is you have until you're 40 to file a claim.
And we have a lot of those that are happening right now.
And they're just really, really sad, you know, stories of just sexual brutality.
I've worked on kids.
And it's, yeah, it's just unimaginable that this would go unnoticed, you know, on such a vast scale, unnoticed for so long.
But that's basically where we're at.
And oftentimes, isn't it, I mean, if these children are being sexually abused at the hands of these children, These abusers, these foster care families that have signed up, who keep on having this child in their home, The actual parents of the child are usually saying, hey, I want my child back.
At the same time, they want their child back.
They're jumping through hoots, doing everything that the foster care system and CPS is telling them they should do, and they're trying persistently to get their child back while they are suffering and being abused, but yet the CPS caseworker or the system keeps denying the parent, denying the parent, denying the parent.
While they're still keeping them in this horrible, hostile, sexually abusive situation.
I mean, isn't that the case, too, many, many of the times?
At least in my caseload, yeah.
But you have to understand...
That's what's even more sick about it and sinister.
Well, it's...
You know, this is what really pisses me off about it.
Every one of the cases I have in my caseload right now, if you look at why the child was allegedly removed from the home to begin...
Yeah, let's start there.
It's not...
Typically, it's not that they were being physically abused.
It's not that they were being sexually abused in their natural home.
It's usually some issue of neglect.
Maybe there was a call, a social worker came, and there wasn't a whole lot of food in the cabinet.
Or something like that.
Or the kid went to school dirty a couple days.
But not something that a parent couldn't probably remedy if they knew that they were facing their child to be taken away.
Right.
Or if they were given resources.
I mean, a lot of the neglect situations come about as a result just of poverty.
And, you know, we could go in, for the amount of money that we're going to spend taking a child, processing the child through the court process, putting them in foster care, and paying all those people all along the way, that much money could set that parent up or that family up in a much better position where we don't even have to be involved with them.
So what really pisses me off about this, I'll get to that back to the point, Is that when we take a child away for really kind of marginal reasons, and we put them in a highly abusive, dangerous situation in a foster home, and we leave them there while we're making the parent jump through all these crazy hoops while their kid is just being brutally abused.
Somehow, as a society, we look at that as the proper and good thing to be doing.
You know, it just irks me.
And I do my part.
You know, I fight these things one case at a time.
I don't have any in with any legislators or anybody who has the ability to actually make substantive change to the system.
But I do what I can because every lawsuit we file affects some kind of policy change on the local level.
Okay.
And I encourage other attorneys, everybody else, fight where you can.
It's like the death by a thousand cuts thing.
If everybody sued the government every single time, then we wouldn't need legislation.
The government would change.
The way you bring pain to government is by hitting a pocketbook.
And if more people were doing that, then we wouldn't necessarily need legislation.
Right.
I mean, I applaud you for having the stomach for it, but that's why I believe that this is not, it's not like it's an accident when they're heavily, heavily vetting the parents, but they're not vetting at all the people, the families that these children are given to.
And there's even proof of abuse and sexual abuse and neglect with these foster care families, but they look the other way for that.
In fact, not only just look the other way, but keep them They bury it.
So you've got to think that this is an accident.
This is intentional.
This is intentionally how this foster care and CPS system was set up to break apart families or to make money, profit off these children, or even potentially profit and fund their sex trafficking ring.
I mean, there's a lot of deeper, Agenda is probably at play here too, but it's not like we can just say this is an accident or this is something that they're not realizing at this point, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, and it's sort of interesting the way it's designed.
You can look at the Adoption and Safe Families Act or look at CAPTA, too.
They're both funding statutes on a federal level.
And that all trickles down to the states, and then the states decide how they want to administer their systems.
They may delegate to the counties.
That's what they do in California.
But the way it's set up, there's a tremendous amount of money being funneled out to the states Mostly to take kids into the system, that's the metric, is how many kids do you have in the system that need to be dealt with and processed?
The more kids you have, the more money you get.
It's crazy, it's a quota.
Yeah, there's like this built-in, it's a perverse incentive that's baked into the legislation.
To essentially separate families.
Now, the money runs out after about 18 months.
So that's why you'll see a lot of parents or families, they start to get reunified at the 12-month or 18-month mark because soon there's going to be no more money unless the child's adopted.
And then there's another big bolus of cash.
But you think about the industry that is supported by all that.
Every one of these children needs a court-appointed attorney.
So an attorney is going to have a job.
There need to be, you know, family courts or juvenile courts to deal with it.
So those courts also get funded through the federal government, at least in part.
So there's money coming to the courts.
Then there's going to be a county attorney to, you know, prosecute the juvenile dependency case to separate the child from the parents.
So that's another attorney with a job.
Then the parents are going to each get court-appointed counsel.
So we have in every one of these cases...
We have at least four attorneys and multi-child families.
There may be five or six attorneys who are all getting paid.
Then every one of those kids has to go to a therapist, and those therapists get paid from the same funding sources.
Then you got to remember there's going to be a CASA. There is also going to be the parent's therapist, the mom, the dad.
They may have to take anger management or You know, family-rearing, child-rearing classes, things like that.
That all gets paid for.
And then the foster parents.
Don't forget about them.
They're going to get their thousand bucks a month.
They're going to get paid, yeah.
Yeah, whatever it is, per child.
And you add that all up.
And it is a huge industry.
So, to think, you know, we're going to go in and we're going to legislate our way around that or fix it through some sort of governmental action.
I mean, it's like trying to fix big pharma, man.
I mean, everybody has their lobbyists and the social workers, the government social workers, they do too.
And, you know, it's sad.
Yeah.
And what do you feel...
Of course.
I mean, like, yeah, it's definitely got to bother you.
It's probably an understatement.
But what do you feel like the, I mean, The kind of people that work for CPS in the foster care system that are the caseworkers and the ones that actually take children away from their parents and then write notes every time that a parent wants their child so badly, they say things like, oh, they have anger issues because they want their child so badly and they're expressing that, or things like that to keep them separated.
What kind of people have you seen are these caseworkers?
Are these people that work for CPS in the foster care system, in your opinion?
Well, this is the thing.
I am sure that, you know, it's sort of like police.
We see the bad ones on national news.
I'm sure there are good workers out there, you know, doing God's work for all the right reasons under very difficult circumstances, but I never see those people.
The ones I run across, and I've been doing this now since 2005, I've run across a lot, many, many, many.
And...
They're not doing good work.
They're not doing God's work.
They're not in it for all the right reasons.
Typically, they've got some mental issue of their own, and they're off on a power trip.
And I can tell you, when I was doing mostly parent cases before this wave of sexual abuse cases started coming in, invariably, I'd say 90% of my cases The parent was pretty well educated, pretty informed about what their rights were, and challenged the social worker.
When the social worker came out and started making accusations, wanting to barge into the house or strip search the kids, the parent stands up and says, whoa, hey, wait a minute.
You know, no court order.
This isn't going to happen.
Let's see what's really going on here.
Social worker immediately escalates, takes the kids, and we're off to the races for the next 18 months fighting to get the family back together.
That's 90% of my cases, you know, before this whole sexual abuse thing started coming to the fore.
So, yeah, I have a dim view.
I have a dim view of at least the social workers I come across.
You can get on my YouTube channel.
We're putting up the depots, man.
You can see them yourself.
Reach your own conclusion.
They seem pretty shady.
They seem pretty shady.
They seem like they're lacking empathy.
They seem like they're...
A lot of them probably don't even have their own children, right?
Yeah, right.
I mean, when I see your depositions, I'm like, man, these are not people I would want even babysitting my dog or walking my dog or walking my turtle.
I mean, these are not humane type people, but yet they are the people that are coming to assess your home, assess your home, aka take away your child, and then they're in charge of your child from that point forward.
I mean, these are not the kind of people that should be working there, and yet that's really who's heavily employed there.
Yeah, you do not, as a parent, you do not want to be tangled up in this system, and you definitely do not want your kids in any kind of foster care at all.
And that's one piece of advice that I can give, is that under the Adoptions Act, it's 42 U.S.C. Section 671 and 675, Okay.
You know, an uncle, an adult brother, sister, sibling, you know, whatever.
The agency is required to do that.
So if you get involved with one of these social services agencies and they take your child, it's imperative, and that you do this very frequently and very loudly, give up to them potential relative placements because they have to go assess those people and there has to be a decision.
And then from the moment that you walk into court, Start yammering, start making noise to the judge about how you've provided all these relatives and you want an order that they go be assessed and get your child put with family as quickly as possible.
If you don't fight for it, they won't do it.
Okay, and so they're ordered to do that, to put them with family first.
That's actually good to know.
A lot of people don't think they know that.
Right.
I think it's 671A19 requires that they give preferential placement consideration to family.
So that means they have to at least consider it, and it has to be considered on a preferential basis, meaning preferred over a foster placement.
That's something that's really important.
You don't want your kids in foster care.
No.
I mean, yeah, I think every person, especially lately, those that are conservatives or Christians or who don't vaccinate their children, they're even more...
On alarm, on high alert right now, because they feel like they're a bigger threat to have their children removed for frivolous reasons.
Yeah, for sure.
Or reasons such as not vaccinating their child, or, you know, they take them to the hospital for a bump, and then it turns into a discussion of, well, have they received all their childhood vaccines?
And what's, you know, kind of looking into, are they kind of more of a naturopathic parent?
If not, that sends off alarm bells to the CPS people, right?
For sure.
Absolutely.
Yeah, and one thing, you raised the point about these trivial reasons or medical decisions that apparently make, like a delayed vaccination schedule or no vaccinations.
Right.
This is something that you just reminded me of that's brand new.
It's the first time I've ever seen it.
I got a production request from the county.
And they use a tool.
It's called a structured decision-making tool to do an initial risk assessment of the child where they're at in their home.
And I've never, ever seen this before.
This is the first time I've seen it.
There is a question on the risk assessment, the structured decision-making tool, regarding whether or not the parent is supportive of gender-affirming care.
Oh my gosh.
That's frightening.
If the answer is no, then you get a plus one on the risk assessment.
Yeah, it's crazy.
That's really scary.
Yeah, and I don't know how that came about.
I mean, there's no legislation in California that I know of that says you're a child abuser or potential child abuser if you're against your, you know, child having some sort of hormone replacement therapy or God forbid a surgery or something like that, but it's a black mark against you according to social services.
And do they also have the question about vaccines in there?
They do.
And that's a black mark against you, too.
They would refer to that as potential medical neglect.
God, that's crazy.
There's a lot of conservatives that would get a lot of black marks.
I mean, you can see how easily that would ramp up.
Yeah, I mean, I would have, you know, my kids are grown now, thank God.
But, yeah, you know, there's so many things when they were young that I just thank God that social services wasn't so hyperactive as they are now.
Yeah, I mean, it could be like, hey, do you support the Pledge of Allegiance?
Or do you support kneeling with the National Anthem?
And if not, Black Mark, you know?
Or do you own a firearm?
Do you own a firearm?
Oh, absolutely.
That's one of their questions.
Are there firearms at home?
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
I just wanted to show you where their head's at.
Yeah, it's a really, really scary agency.
And they have a tremendous amount of power.
And none of the things that we see in our casework, like the structured decision-making tools, those aren't things that are legislated.
Those are policy decisions that the agency, once they're established, that they make internally.
And so we don't, you know, outside public, we don't even know about them until you sue them and get the information that way.
Wow.
And people need to know.
They really need to know, especially right now, and especially, it might get even worse with Biden, you know, another term of Biden.
What new things he's going to add to that tool, that decision-making tool.
Yeah.
Do you support Trump, right?
Did you vote?
Did you?
Yeah.
I mean, there's so many things.
There's so many things that you can add to that.
It really starts to get pretty scary.
Yeah.
People ask me, You know, like what's going on, at least in my little niche practice area.
And what I try to explain, at least in my view, again, this is just my opinion based on what I see in my caseload and what I see in litigating the cases with the courts.
You know, they don't like these cases.
They're difficult.
In my view...
The government is literally at war with the American family, or the American concept of family.
And I see that worked out every day in the cases that come across my desk.
And I don't know what to do about it.
I really don't.
Other than, you know, just sue them.
Well, yeah.
At least you got some way to channel all that anger.
Yeah.
And it's a very productive way to do that.
A lot of people just seethe in anger and think, there's nothing I can do to fight the government's systemic attempt to fight and break down the American family unit.
I mean, it's pretty scary when you see all the different ways that they go about doing that.
And this is a major way.
I want to end with this because you've mentioned this before, and I always think, well, I would be like this.
You said if CPS comes and knocks on your door, it's not the right strategy to kind of be someone that exerts your rights and says, do you have a warrant?
You're not taking my child.
You're not shaking us down.
You're not, you know, you can't get in.
And someone who's more educated about that and assertive about their rights, which is, I would think, something that I would probably can see myself doing, You say that that actually ends up landing them more in trouble with CPS and gets CPS really fighting against you.
Why is that?
And then what's the best, what's the right strategy then?
Yeah, this is what I see.
Yeah.
Social workers, they can't carry a gun.
We don't give them the power to kill us, to take our lives.
They don't get a stick.
They don't have a taser.
They don't even carry pepper spray, at least not in California.
So the only means of escalation they have, the only means, is to take your kid.
Where if you're interacting with a police officer and you start, you know, talking back or whatever, he has a lot of other options before he decides to just shoot you.
Right?
He can take you down, he can hit you with a stick, he can maybe spray you with some pepper spray or mace.
Threaten to arrest you.
Threaten to arrest you.
Yeah, he has a lot of gradations of escalation that he can step through before, you know, it's the loss of liberty.
The social workers don't have that.
The only escalation they really have on the spot is to just take your child.
And for a long time out here in California, that's what they were doing.
Arizona, that's what they were doing.
Through litigation, we got that change.
It took about 10 years and millions, millions of dollars paid out by the government.
But like I said, it's pain compliance.
If the government feels pain, they will fix the problem.
And out here, that's what they did.
They established warrant policies.
They trained all their workers on when and how and why to get a warrant.
And then they train the courts, the juvenile courts, about what they're supposed to be doing in that process.
And that saved them money.
In the long run, I don't do warrantless seizure cases really anymore.
Now, on the warrant side, it's the vaccination thing.
The government, when they take your child, the first thing they're going to do is go vaccinate them, whether you've already done it or not.
Really?
Wow.
I have one of those going right now.
I have one of those going right now down in San Diego.
And it doesn't matter how old they are.
If they're just under, if they're a minor child, they'll take them away and they will go vaccinate them.
Yeah.
They'll double vaccinate them.
If you vaccinated your child last week because maybe starting school and you need some vaccinations, they don't care.
They'll go vaccinate them again.
They don't even look at your record, the child's health record?
No.
They'll just shoot them off again.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
That's really crazy.
Yeah.
Not one to get in the crosshairs of CPS. Okay, so you're saying maybe the best way is to be a little bit nicer to them when they come in and be more like less hostile.
It's hard to be not hostile in that situation because you want to defend yourself.
You're like, you're about to take my child.
It's scary.
But you're saying be maybe a little bit more polite.
Yeah, be civil.
Be civil.
Yeah, be civil, be polite.
What you don't want to be reported as, because if there is an issue and they file something on you in court, they'll write in their report that you were uncooperative, the judge takes that.
Uncooperative, anger management.
Yeah, exactly.
It's okay to be firm, but you want to be polite and civil and professional about it.
You know, it may be hard for people because I understand that, you know, somebody's at your door with a tremendous amount of power and they want to talk to you about what's going on with your, you know, private family life with your children.
And that can cause a lot of stress.
I get that.
But, you know, getting all amped up and panicked over it does not help anything.
You have to keep your wits about you, stay civil, stay polite, be professional.
You can still be firm, but be pro about it.
Okay.
Could you still say, hey, I don't see a warrant, so you can't come in, but can you say that in a nice way?
Or should you still let them come in and look around and everything?
The way I would approach that, and I've seen this in some of my clients, and it's been fairly effective, is don't ask for the warrant.
Just don't even talk about a warrant.
That immediately gets their back up.
But what you can do is you can step outside, close the door behind you, and then say, okay, yeah, let's talk about whatever it is we need to talk about and do it out on the porch in a civil, professional manner.
If they want to see the child, Okay, sure.
You know, bring Johnny out.
But don't let him in your house.
You don't have to.
But I wouldn't say, no, you're not coming in without a warrant.
Yeah.
One of two things is going to happen.
They'll just barge in and take your kid.
Or they'll go get a warrant and just tell the judge, hey, look, we have this suspicion.
Mom was uncooperative, wouldn't let us in the house.
Therefore, it must be true.
Give us a warrant.
The judge will probably do that.
Wow.
At that point, I'd probably book town to Costa Rica or somewhere else.
I used to keep open air tickets and 10 grand in cash sitting around just in case.
Right.
Just as a last, last question, what would happen if CBS came to your house, you politely said, please don't come back or something without a warrant, and then you just booked it to another country with your child?
Could they also be active there, actively searching for you there?
Is that legal or would they kind of just give up?
Potentially, I have a client who her child was taken, but was a teenager, and they were going through the system, and the normal thing was happening.
They just weren't able to break free.
And so the daughter, one morning before school, instead of packing books in her backpack, packed some clothes.
And mom met her, you know, at school and already had plane tickets to an African country where there's no extradition and they left.
And they're there now and I'm litigating their case.
Awesome.
Okay, so a getaway plan is possible.
Yeah, a getaway plan is possible, but they will look for you.
They have asylum right now, and they're on the Interpol watch list.
If they leave the country, they're immediately going to get picked up, or at least the mom is.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, for kidnapping.
She's wanted by the FBI. There's an arrest warrant issued in the U.S., so she's now coming back.
Okay, so they don't just kind of forget about you when you leave.
They're looking for you.
They do not.
Well, in fact, you just stuck your thumb in their eye.
So imagine that.
Rightly or wrongly, you stuck your thumb in their eye.
They're never going to forgive that.
They're never going to forget it.
Wow.
Okay.
Notes to self.
And for you parents out there listening and watching this, it's really important information and valuable because a lot of parents would do different things, but that's why it's great to have you here.
Sean McMillan, always informative and very enlightening and the bearer of great news, of course.
Where can everybody, of course, find you and subscribe to your YouTube channel and follow your work?
Well, you can do the YouTube channel is Caps and Stems Law.
You just look Google C-A-P-S-N-S-T-E-M-S or just Google Sean McMillan and that'll take you to the YouTube channel if you want to watch the deposition videos.
Yeah, lots of them.
Yeah, and there's more.
There's more coming up.
Oh, great.
Yeah, probably 10 or 15 a year for 20 years, so it's going to be going for a while.
But yeah, anybody come on by and we have an active chat when we're on live so people can ask questions as we're going through the deposition.
It's really there to try to show parents or answer their questions.
There's a lot of parents out there that can't find attorneys.
And, you know, we started that process of putting all our work product up so that people, you know, if they have the energy, they can learn and do it themselves, be their own attorney.
So when I'm doing the lives, I'm actually on live to answer questions.
Like people say, well, how do I do this?
Whatever it is.
How to write a complaint, right?
That's fundamental.
So we have sort of a lecture series where we'll go through that and Try to help them out.
Try and help as many people as we can.
Awesome.
All right, that's all the time we've got for today.
