1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: One of the things they're going to be talking about

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices. You know,

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: we've cut drug prices by twelve hundred and thirteen hundred

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: and fourteen hundred and fifteen hundred percent because we're going

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: favorite nations. We want the same price as Europe get.

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: We want the same prices of the country gets. And

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: over the years twenty five thirty years ago it started

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: where they were charging us much more. I put it

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: into it, you know, with a letter that you saw

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: last week.

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

12

Speaker 3: stories for you, and they deal with major corruption in

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: the Obama and Biden administration.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 4: First up, Jack Smith, you remember that.

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: Old special Council that was appointed to go after Donald Trump.

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: Well he is now under investigation.

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: I'll give you those details of what rules he may

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: have broken. Also, the White House snabbing a number of

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: bad own braids with very little border crossing, and the

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: media is not telling you about how successful this administration

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: is at finding those that are breaking into this country

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: that are a threat to all of us. All Right,

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: I want to take a moment talk about the economy.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street, You've seen

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 3: what's been happening with interest rates, and you've probably seen

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why because there

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: is uncertainty all over the world right now, and when

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,200

Speaker 3: investigating the ex Trump prosecutor Jack Smith is now happening

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: is what we're being told. The US Office of Special

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: Council has open an investigation officially into the former Special

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Council Jack Smith, who may have quote unlawfully targeted President

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. I want you to listen to how part

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: of this news is broken at Fox News Channel.

70
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: Take a listen, all right, Moving on to this now,

71
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: former COUMP prosecutor Jack Smith is now under investigation for

72
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: potentially violating the Hatch Act, which restricts government employees from

73
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: engaging in political activities.

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: Charley Panner joins US Now with the details.

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 6: Hey Channeling, Hey, good morning guys. So the Office of

76
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 6: Special Council confirming is open that investigation against former Special

77
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: Council Jack Smith. This after Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton sent

78
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 6: this letter saying, quote, I write requesting the Office of

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: Special Counsel to investigate whether Jack Smith, special Council for

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 6: Attorney General Merrick Garland, unlawfully took political actions to influence

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty four election to harm then candidate President

82
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. So, while the specific scope of this investigation

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 6: is not clear, it is expected the probe we'll look

84
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: into whether Smith violated the Hatch Act during his criminal

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 6: investigation into President Trump's handling of classified documents and alleged

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 6: efforts to the twenty twenty election. Trump cleted not guilty

87
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 6: in both of those cases that were ultimately dismissed following

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty four election. Earlier this week, Senator Cotton

89
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 6: pointed to how he believed Smith used his DOJ roll

90
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 6: to quote help Kamala and hurt Trump, claiming Special Counsel

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 6: Smith rushed the trial for President Trump to begin just

92
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, that Smith tried to

93
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 6: go right to the Supreme Court to get a quick

94
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: ruling before the election, and that Smith filed a massive

95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 6: brief that included secret grand jury testimony just within sixty

96
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 6: days of the election, which could also violate a separate

97
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 6: Justice Department rule that goes beyond the Hatch Act. So

98
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 6: it's all important to note that this is an investigation,

99
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 6: but it's not a criminal investigation. That the office there

100
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 6: does have authority though, to impose things like fines and

101
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 6: other sanctions if they do ultimately find that he violated

102
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 6: the Hatch Act.

103
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: Guys, let's go into even more of what this means.

104
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: The OSC has Smith under a microscope and this I've

105
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: been told by many on Capitol Hill is the beginning

106
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: of what could be other possible issues for him. I

107
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 3: want to be clear about that he's under the microscope

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: regarding the possibility that not only won, he violate the

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: Hatch Act, which says again government workers are not allowed

110
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: to take part in certain political activities. All right, now,

111
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: it received confirmation the probe Fox did there from the

112
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: office and that Smith is not being quote criminally investigated.

113
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: Now, let's be clear.

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: I want you to understand this could be the beginning

115
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: of opening up.

116
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 4: Who knows what you can read between the lines there.

117
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: The OSC is a government watchdog that operates independently. Number

118
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: one is a federal investigative and prosecutal office. In July,

119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Tom Cotton asked its members to investigate whether Jack Smith,

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: who again was a special counsel for the former Attorney

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: General Merrick Garland, if he engaged in unlawful political activities

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: to quote influence All right, think about the timeline here

123
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four presidential election, and targeted Trump in

124
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: doing so to influence the twenty twenty four election. Now,

125
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: President Trump, of course said you know this about Joe Biden,

126
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: and Jack Smith and every Democrat quote who weaponized law

127
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: against him. President Trump's astounding victory doesn't excuse Smith of responsibility,

128
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: the Center said, for his unlawful election interference. I therefore

129
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: asked the Office of the Special Counsel to investigate whether

130
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: Jack Smith or quote any members of his team unlawfully

131
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: acted for political purposes. So Number one, is it going

132
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: to be difficult for the media to cover this, Yes,

133
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: And that's why we're covering it right now, because you

134
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: need to know what's happening. Democrats are going to dismiss this.

135
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: They're going to say this is not a big deal.

136
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: They're going to say this is nothing, that this is

137
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: just a political hit job on Jack Smith, who quote

138
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: did his job. Now, Jack Smith oversaw a pair, okay,

139
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: not one, but two of the criminal investigations into Donald

140
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: Trump while the former president Joe Biden was still in office.

141
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: All right.

142
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: The outlet of the New York Times excuse me, the

143
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: New York Post reporting this on Friday. They said, one

144
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: of the investigations, as you may recall, was quote into

145
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: trump handling of classified documents. Then the other was as

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: to whether his actions on January the sixth, twenty twenty

147
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: one were an attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election.

148
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: Both cases, as you know, have been dismissed.

149
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: Now.

150
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: An email that has come forward reviewed by the New

151
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: York Posts also states that the Hatch Act Unit, which

152
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities,

153
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: has begun reviewing the former Special Council for the United

154
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: States Department of Justice. Now, the email was written by

155
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: senior counsel at the OSC. The article states, Now let's

156
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: go back to Smith for a second. Smith, you may

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 3: have forgotten, resigned from the US Department of Justice after

158
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: he failed to bring the case against Trump to trial,

159
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: because well, he knew it was going to get dismissed,

160
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: and he knew it was crap, and they lost, and

161
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: so he wanted out. The article also says Smith's resignation

162
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: comes as his office has engaged quote in last minute

163
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: legal wranglings to release its work against Trump before President

164
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: Joe Biden left office. If you go back and look

165
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: at the record, then he resigned on a Saturday, just

166
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: nine days before Trump's inauguration, after which Smith would have

167
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: been fired.

168
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: We're all sure of that now.

169
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: The following month, Trump suspended the security clearances of law

170
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: firm members who helped Jack Smith, and that was something

171
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: that people are like, Okay, pay attention.

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: Now.

173
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: The memo, by the way, addressed to all relevant agencies

174
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: and departments, halted any security clearances of Covington and Berling.

175
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: That's a law firm.

176
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: It's members, partners, and employees who helped Jack Smith during

177
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: his time in the role of Special Council quote penning

178
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: a review and determination of their roles and responsibilities if any,

179
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: in the weaponization of the judicial process, per that memo.

180
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: So let me be clear the takeaway from this this

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: could be the beginning of something very, very big, and

182
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: it's going to start with the man who went after

183
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 3: and weaponized our government against Donald Trump, Jack Smith. So

184
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: get ready, we're going to keep covering this. It's very big.

185
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: Now, Story number two.

186
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: All right, I want to get to another important issue.

187
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: It's a big one and it's one that so many

188
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: Americans have, especially the media, have really really really overlooked

189
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: it completely. That's part of what I like to do

190
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: here is bring you different information that others are refusing

191
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: to cover. And this one is one that is really

192
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: interesting because the number of arrests of migrant gotaways continuing

193
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: now in Texas despite record low apprehensions at the border.

194
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: The media doesn't want you to know how many bad

195
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: own brais we have right now in this country. The

196
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, the National guardsmen, and

197
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: the Border patrol agents are continuing to arrest migrants who

198
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: illegally cross the border between the portsvin and made their

199
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: way into the US interior. The Trump administration has just

200
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: released more info. Recent arrests include three Chinese nationals who

201
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 3: got away from the border after crossing near Mission, Texas.

202
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: What we now know is that this was an operation

203
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: that Texas DPS did. They post the video to social

204
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: media showing the continuing activities of the troopers, the garment

205
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: and Border patrol agents, who despite these record low apprehensions

206
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: of the border said now their job is to fine

207
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: migrants being smuggled into the interior Texas after not being

208
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: apprehended at the border. Law enforcement teams, they say are

209
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 3: real problems, are facing real problems because they're going after

210
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: and continuencize drugs that are being smuggled into Texas. You

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: have human smuggling arrests that are still happening each and

212
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: every day. You have canine teams now that are actually

213
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: being able to do their raw jobs by tracking and

214
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: assisting US Port Patrol in the tracking of these drugs.

215
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: We're seeing drug seizures, they said, in Brownsville, Texas, stolen

216
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: vehicles that are being used by the cartels, and others

217
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: that are that are grabbed in Laredo, Texas for example.

218
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: This is just some of what is happening at the border.

219
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: We also know this past week that smugglers were sentenced

220
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: to ten years in prison. You've got pursuits to ranch

221
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: tracks to all these missions that are happening, and they're

222
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: wanting people to understand what's going on here now. One

223
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: example that was reported was on July the thirty first.

224
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: One of the videos they put out show Border Patrol

225
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: mounted patroled teams tracking migrants in Duval County, Texas. The

226
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: team tracked the illegal alien to attempt to escape by

227
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: using thick brushes cover. That's where the Texas DPSK nine

228
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: team managed to apprehend the two legal aliens and turn

229
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: them over to Border Patrol agents. Now, they weren't able

230
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: to do this type of work before because they were

231
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: babysitting illegal immigrants at the border under the Biden administration.

232
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: Earlier on Thursday, for example, they report the arrests of

233
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: these three Chinese nationals that were apprehended your mission Texas

234
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: after clear the border without encountering a border patrol agent.

235
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: And this is part of the problem. Now the troopers say,

236
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 3: we're getting to do our jobs. Now they were to

237
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 3: stop the human smuggling attempts. Last week also in de

238
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: Mitt County, Texas, they pulled over a Florida driver. The

239
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: troopers fround two Mexican nationals illegally president in the US,

240
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: hiding in the rear cargo area of the suv. Again,

241
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: another example of the bad owm brays that we're talking about.

242
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: On July third, for example, it was reported the arrest

243
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: of ten illegal aliens in their mission. These included four

244
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: migrants from Uzbekistan. Now why does that matter, Well, it's

245
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 3: a hotbed for terrorism. That's one of the big concerns

246
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: here is that how many people have come in this

247
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: country illegally that are terrorists and wanting to do things

248
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: and do real harm inside the United States of America.

249
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 3: Now in June, to put this in perspective of where

250
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: we are now because of a strong border security from

251
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: this president Donald Trump. Border patrol agents apprehended three thousand,

252
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: nine hundred and ninety five migrants who illegally crossed the

253
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: border into five I have Texas based sectors. Let me

254
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: just explain to you the difference between June of this

255
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: year and June of twenty twenty four, when Joe Biden

256
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: was like, everybody, come in, we have an open border.

257
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: They caught thirty thousand, seven hundred and sixty six compared

258
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: to three thy nine hundred and ninety five one year apart.

259
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: What changed? A president that is enforcing the law.

260
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,479
Speaker 3: The Southwest Land border encounters that were reported and published

261
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: by the US Customs and Border Protection said, this is

262
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: now going back to a point that we can manage

263
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: and protect the border compared to what it was now.

264
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: If you do the math on that, this represents a

265
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: drop of now more than eighty seven percent year over year.

266
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: The June apprehension numbers are also down from five four

267
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: hundred ninety one migrants apprehended in May. So this is

268
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: also sending a message around the world you probably don't

269
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: want to try because you're going to get caught and

270
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: it's not an open border that we had under the

271
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: radicals in the Biden regime.

272
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: Border apprehensions in the.

273
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: Texas based sector and June accounted for approximately sixty six

274
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: percent of all migrants apprehended along the southern border with Mexico.

275
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: Nearly four thousand, six hundred migrants were apprehended in all

276
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: nine border patrol sectors along the southwest border in July.

277
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: That marks she had another historic low for the Trump administration.

278
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: So Christyome put it out this way, and she said

279
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: in her tweet where she was going through all these numbers,

280
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: and again, why is the media not telling you how

281
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: safe the border has become? Because they don't want you

282
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: to know this. Okay, history made again is how Christy

283
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: Nome put it. The numbers don't lie. This is the

284
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: most secure of the border has ever been. President Donald

285
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: Trump didn't just manage the crisis, he obliterated it. No

286
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: more excuses, Christy Nome said, no more releases. We put

287
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: the cartels on defense and taken our border back. She

288
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: then said, in July the lowest nationwide encounter number ever

289
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: twenty four thousand, six hundred and thirty That is down

290
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: two point four percent from June. But here's the number

291
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: that you're going to care about. It's ninety percent lower

292
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: than the monthly average under the last administration. The lowest

293
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: border patrol apprehensions nationwide also six thousand, one hundred and

294
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: seventy seven.

295
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 4: That shattered, by the way, June's all time low as well.

296
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: She went on to say, this the lowest Southwest border

297
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: apprehensions we've ever seen, four thousand, five hundred ninety eight,

298
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: nearly five hundred fewer than the daily average under the

299
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: last administration, which averaged five thousand, one hundred and ten

300
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: apprehensions per day from February of twenty twenty one to

301
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: December of twenty twenty four. We also have the lowest

302
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: daily apprehension average, just one hundred and forty eight per day.

303
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: That's lower than the average rate of one hundred and

304
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: fifty two apprehensions every two hours under the Biden administration

305
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: last July alone, So we're doing one hundred and forty

306
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: eight a day in apprehensions. They were doing one hundred

307
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: and fifty two every two hours, every hour of the

308
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: day twenty four to seven last July.

309
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: And then she finally says that the lowest single.

310
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: Day apprehensions in history eighty eight at the Southwest border,

311
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixteen nationwide on July the twentieth.

312
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: Now, look at the calendar right now and where we are.

313
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: What you're hearing and what we're seeing from border patrol

314
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: agents and from the Trump administration is that the word

315
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: is getting out. Do you really want to go into

316
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: incredible debt to try to come to America to immediately

317
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: get caught and then be sent home? Do you want

318
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 3: to pay these smugglers to get you in and you're

319
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 3: going to get caught? You look at the lowest single

320
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: day apprehension in history, eighty eighth the Southwest border and

321
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixteen nation one on July twentieth. Now

322
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: I say that because you may say, well, okay, hold on,

323
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: maybe there was a bad weather day.

324
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: No it wasn't. It was actually a great weather day.

325
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: Why nay on July twentieth, did you have these numbers

326
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: drop that much? Because that's the last day we have

327
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: reported and public access to what Donald Trump is doing

328
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: is he's going after and using ice and they're going

329
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: after the illegal immigrants everywhere they are, including sanctuary cities.

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: Word is getting back to the smugglers and the human

331
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: traffickers and those that were paying them that it may

332
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 3: not be worth you paying them because you're probably not

333
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: going to make it. And that is how Trump is

334
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: making America safe again.
