PragerU personality Franklin Camargo testifies before a House subcommittee highlighting the dangerous reality of Maduro's regime. Airport security unravels during peak spring break travel as thousands of unpaid TSA agents call in sick. And Scotland's parliament votes no on a controversial bill following a heated debate. We'll get into all of that and your quick hits now. What's up, guys? Welcome to The Wrap-Up, where we break down the biggest stories of the week that you might have missed but need to know. I'm your host, Erin. First up, a new report reveals shocking details about China's billion-dollar organ harvesting program, raising alarms about the scale of the crimes being committed. Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times, exposed the horrifying numbers of the Chinese Communist Party's state-sponsored forced organ harvesting. In his new book, Jekielek described an industrial-scale atrocity where the CCP quoted religious and ethnic minorities as others, portraying them as subhuman to justify their exploitation. Jekielek explains that the practice began targeting Falun Gong practitioners around 2000, then expanded to Uyghur Muslims and Xinjiang as prisoner pools dwindled. Jekielek recently appeared on Real Talk with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit and had this to say. Right, even if you were going to accept a heart because you're desperate from having someone killed for this purpose, you still probably wouldn't say publicly, yeah, I think this large-scale forced organ harvesting is cool. Like, nobody's going to say that, right? Like, it's just, it's obviously, viscerally, deeply wrong, right? This is part of the reason why I'm encouraging people to try to understand this issue and popularize this as much as possible because I think it can help us understand who we're dealing with. In his book, Jekielek explains that victims in concentration camps undergo medical testing for compatibility. When a match is found, often for wealthy foreigners or CCP elites, prisoners are allegedly wheeled into operating rooms and the organs removed on demand. This turns genocide into profit, with the industry valued in the billions. The Daily Caller reported that Congress has pushed legislation seeking sanctions on perpetrators, but it's faced delays in the Senate. Jekielek argued that the CCP's regime thrives on silence and exposing it is the first step to ending it. In our next story, Venezuelan-born PragerU personality Franklin Camargo testified before a House subcommittee drawing on his firsthand experience to highlight the dangerous reality of Maduro's regime. During the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, hearing titled The Legal Basis for Action Against Venezuelan Drug Traffickers, PragerU personality Franklin Camargo defended the Trump administration's January 2026 capture of dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife in Caracas. The operation following 2020 U.S. indictments for narco-terrorism, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons offenses targeted Maduro's regime. Maduro was long accused of running the Cartel of the Sun's drug network within the military and the government. Former General Hugo Carvajal, once close to Maduro, later pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to related narco-terrorism and trafficking charges. And while Chairman Jamie Raskin called it, quote, Camargo spoke from experience and had this to say. The Chavez and Maduro regimes turned Venezuela from a long-time ally of the United States into a drug cartel. 250 tons of cocaine moved through Venezuela each year under the protection of the regime itself. Maduro was not simply a bad president or a wrong leader. He's an evil narco-terrorist who committed crimes against Americans. Following the opening statement, Representative Hank Johnson of Georgia repeatedly interrupted Camargo, downplaying indictments as mere allegations. But Camargo stressed the necessity of the operation to protect Americans from a regime that weaponized drugs against the U.S. While some members of the committee appeared to shield a socialist dictator accused of flooding America with narcotics, Camargo's testimony underscored the moral imperative of holding such criminals accountable. Next up, airport security is unraveling during peak spring break travel due to the ongoing partial government shutdown of the DHS. Unpaid TSA agents are calling out in droves, causing lines to stretch for hours. The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which began on February 14th over funding disputes, has now forced Transportation Security Administration officers to work without pay for over a month, triggering a surge in sick calls and resignations that is crippling airport security lines. ABC News reported that on Tuesday, nearly 10% of TSA's roughly 50,000 officers, about 2,700 nationwide, called out sick, a spike from the normal 2% daily rate. According to Forbes, the hardest hit were major hubs, nearly 40% absences at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson and New Orleans airports, around 30% at JFK in New York, and similar rates at Houston's Hobby. This marks the third time in nearly six months that TSA workers have gone unpaid. Over 300 to 366 officers have already quit since the shutdown started, with unions reporting agents turning to food banks, selling plasma, or taking second jobs. Critics say that left-leaning members of Congress are to blame for creating this crisis, which is now holding national security funding hostage. Many red state representatives in the House are pressing for the immediate reopening and full funding, and DHS officials are warning that potential airport closures could occur if shortages continue. Up next, in a win for life, the Scottish Parliament officially voted no to a bill pushing medically-assisted suicide on its citizens. Following the final debate, the bill was defeated by 69 votes, against versus 57 in favour. According to the BBC, the assisted dying for terminally ill adults bill would have made it legal for a medical practitioner to give an eligible patient a lethal drug to end their own life. The Right to Life UK celebrated Parliament's choice, posting on X QUOTE, In a triumph for hope over despair, life over death and support over suicide, the Scottish Parliament has voted against assisted suicide. But unfortunately, government pushing the madness of medically-assisted suicide isn't specific to Scotland. Canadian lawyer-turned-political commentator Viva Fry recently appeared on The Brief and explained how one of Canada's most controversial policies has quickly grown to one of the leading causes of death. They put up the law, they sunset the mental illness killing them, as though that's not straight out of Nazi Germany killing handicapped, mentally ill, mentally challenged people. Then they have their state-funded media, because bear in mind, this was the CBC reporting this back in 2017, state-funded media saying, don't worry guys, it's not all bad when we start killing citizens, it might actually save you money.

Meta is pulling the plug on its flagship Metaverse platform in VR, marking a major retreat from its once ambitious virtual reality push, after years of pouring billions of dollars into the investment and seeing very few users online. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is urging wealthy residents to return from states like Florida, admitting that high taxes and rising costs have helped drive them and their tax dollars out of the state. But who pushed those policies, Kathy? An AI-generated version of Val Kilmer will appear in a new film, bringing the late actor back to the screen after illness prevented him from completing the role before his death. While drawing backlash, the director says Kilmer made it clear that he wanted to do the role and his family has given their approval. California's $114 million wildlife crossing bridge, intended for animals, including butterflies, is $21 million over budget and a year behind schedule since its 2022 start. The Wallace-Annenberg Wildlife Crossing attributes the $21 million overage to inflation, tariffs, and labor issues. But what's another $21 million in taxpayer dollars for such an important project? A new ad for Disney Cruise Line is receiving rave reviews online thanks to its pro-family messaging and a touching storyline between a father and son. Viewers say there seems to be a cultural shift in messaging from the company that's been criticized for pushing LGBTQ propaganda over recent years. That's a wrap for this week.
