Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal.
So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra, initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes so when network is busy, see terms.

The Spanish government has been demanding for the removal of the Spanish Prime Minister from the Spanish territory of Ciudad del Sur, after it was invaded by 70,000 Moroccans, and as fears grow of a second wave. The tensions come as more details have come to light about what drove the unprecedented and violent surge.

**John Bickley** (0:57)
In this episode, we speak to Bev Turner, host of GB News Late Show Live, about the fallout from the invasion, and how the issue is resonating with other European countries. I'm Daily Wire executive editor, John Bickley with Georgia Howe. This is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Joining us now with the details is Bev Turner, host of GB News Late Show Live. Bev, great to have you on.

**Bev Turner** (1:19)
Hi guys.

**John Bickley** (1:20)
So we've been tracking this saga with you, and now there's real fears that we're about to see another surge of Moroccans into Spanish territory. So let's start there. What are we hearing now about this potential second wave?

**Bev Turner** (1:32)
Well, the update, John, that I think is quite interesting is, what has come to light is how many people heard about this through social media. It seems that TikTok particularly played a role in galvanizing that many people. 72,000 men, there are thereabouts, were believed to have crossed over from Morocco to Soweta on the 31st of July. We've all seen the pictures. It's incredibly shocking. And now, in fact, TikTok and Facebook are collaborating, we understand, with the Spanish authorities, which is not unprecedented, but it's certainly a new direction in terms of following illegal migration, so that they can then inform the Spanish authorities if it looks like a gathering is building via communications online.

**John Bickley** (2:23)
Now, we've seen some reports that August 15th might be circled for another wave again. This is online like you've just laid out. Is that, does that seem like something that's real? Is that just an internet rumor at this point?

**Bev Turner** (2:38)
Look, it's a very tempting offer for Moroccan, poor Moroccan people to get across to Spain. The only thing that might offset such an invasion again, John, is the fact that we understand that from the 72,000 that crossed, Spain is saying the 70,000 have already been taken back to Morocco. Now, that is quite a difficult figure to verify. And frankly, even if 2,000 people have remained in Soweta, that is still problematic to the local people in that very small area.

**John Bickley** (3:10)
Yeah, indeed. In fact, we've seen reports that maybe 1,000 Moroccans were labeled as unaccompanied miners, and they might be heading to mainland Spain. Have you seen that as well?

**Bev Turner** (3:22)
That is possibly the most shocking element of this story. We're used to seeing here in London, I'm in London at the moment, here in Europe, we're used to seeing these pictures of these men, triumphant, arriving on European shores. We have these new what are called mega dinghies that have arrived in the UK this week. We're experiencing beautiful weather here as well, with maybe 250 illegal aliens on each dinghy. But we've never seen this number of unaccompanied minors arriving in Spain, wanting to be looked after. It raises so many questions. Where are their parents? Who are they? How did they swim over there? Because we have to remember, that's the key element. They didn't go on boats to Swetland. They swam from Morocco. And so that is a huge responsibility for the Spanish authorities. It's one thing accommodating young men or sending them back. It's something all together when you're looking after children.

It's hard to know what to say when timeless truths are challenged, like the definitions of simple words like man or woman. Gender ideology has permeated almost every area of public life, including your kids' schools, sports, medical ethics and religious freedom.
If you're not sure how to navigate all that, you're not alone. This is exactly why the Alliance Defending Freedom has created a free five-part video series to help you respond to all the destructive lies of gender ideology with facts fortified by grace. You'll hear from experienced attorneys on how this ideology is affecting the culture and how you can advocate for your beliefs and freedoms.
