1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: I won't get ahead of the President on broadcasting any timelines.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: What I will tell you is what President Trump has

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: already laid out, which is that the achievable objectives of

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury we expect to last about four to

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: six weeks, and we are well on our way to

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: achieving those objectives. The retaliatory ballistic missile strikes from Iran

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: are now down ninety percent.

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us on

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got a very

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 3: big story for you. A brand new Harvard poll showing

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: a clear majority of Americans support deporting all illegal immigrants

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 3: from the United States. The numbers are raising serious questions

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: about what the Democrats are now doing and what does

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: the data say moving into the mid terms. I'll break

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: it down for you. Having just come back from Israel,

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: I want to paint you a picture. It's midnight, sirens

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: are blaring and you have only seconds to grab your

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: child and run. Now imagine your elderly. Your legs don't

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: work like they used to. Getting downstairs feels impossible, and

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: after all of that you end up in a bomb

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: shelter for hours, even days, because you can't make the

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: trek again. This is what's happening across Israel as Operation

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: Epic Fury continues. Children are being traumatized, families are just exhausted,

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: and homes have been destroyed. And that's why the International

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is there on the ground,

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: bringing food, emergency equipment, care for those children, and help

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: for the elderly, and supplying the bomb shelters and medical

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: centers for critically needed essentials. If you've ever wondered what

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: it looks like to stand for Israel and stand for

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: good against evil, this is it. And that's why I'm

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: asking to now please act, give forty five dollars right

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: now to rush life saving essentials to the vulnerables under fire.

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: You can also call eight to eight four eight eight IFCJ.

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: That's eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ. Join me

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: and give and make a real difference online at IFCJ

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. It's a forty seven

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: morning update and it starts right now.

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Story number one. There is a.

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: Very interesting poll that just came out and nobody is

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: talking about it. Now, we have seen what happened in

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: Minnesota with ice. We've seen ice going into cities and

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: then the Trump administration trying to change course a little

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: bit on it. Because the pr battle, Democrats were losing

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: their minds, the paid protesters were coming in. You had

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: a couple people that were shot by ICE agents, and

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: then that turned into a thing. And then you saw

48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 3: where they literally said in Minnesota, right, we're gonna change

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: course a little bit here, We're gonna put Tom Home

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: in there to be in charge. We're gonna pull back

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. Some people thought that was admitting defeat.

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: I think it was actually a smart move, and Democrats

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: felt like that blood in the water and they were

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: rallying against you know, this is in humane treatment of

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, even though we were taking out some seriously

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: bad own breaks. So Democrats were hoping going into the

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: elections this week, the primaries, and certainly into the midterms

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: coming up in the next you know, not that long away.

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: What are we nine months from now? What you were

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: going to have less than that. What you were gonna

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: have is the immigration issue, which I would argue an

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: exit poll showed was one of the main reasons why

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was re elected. People wanted there to be

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: a secure border, they wanted law and order, and they

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: thought there was way too many legal immigrants in this

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: country who were taking away American jobs and raising the

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: prices of rent and housing and a lot of things

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: like that. Democrats were hoping to flip that issue. Here's

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: what's interesting, even after all of the political hit jobs

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: the media did Minnesota, all the political hit jobs the

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: Democrats are done on ICE, the defunding of ICE, as

72
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: they try to do with DHS defunding and the shutdown

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: that we're dealing with right now, and what we've witnessed

74
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: for them, it's not working. How do we know that, Well,

75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: this is the poll that every one of you should

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: be sharing. Americans are steadfast on saying that not only

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: do they want to secure border, but they also want

78
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 3: all illegal immigrants who are in this country sent home.

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: How do we know this not a liberal, not a

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: conservative poll, but a very liberal poll. Now, these poles

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: usually skew overwhelmingly to the Democratic side of things. These

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: the polls am about to give you the tell you

83
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: that Hilly Clinton was going to win the presidency, that

84
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was going to lose to Joe Biden and

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: then to Kama Harris. Okay, a Harvard Harris poll. Okay, Harvard,

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: do you understand I'm going to say it again because

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: it's just so beautiful Harvard. So put a little asterisk

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: by that, and then think to yourself, what is the

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: real number here? Their number says that fifty seven percent

90
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: of Americans want all illegal immigrants sent home. Fifty seven

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: percent of Americans want all legal immigrants at home. That

92
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: is a Harvard poll that includes fifty four percent of

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: political independence, seventy nine percent of Republicans, and actually thirty

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: five percent of Democrats. So this is an issue that

95
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: Democrats didn't understand within their own party. Thirty five percent.

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: You can say, well, that's low, that's not in the

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: Democratic Party. It's not. That's actually really high. It's shockingly high,

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: in my opinion, that thirty five percent of Democrats. All right,

99
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: not independence Democrats say, even as a Democrat, as someone

100
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: that's a registered Democrat, I want not some all illegal

101
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 3: immigrants in this country sent home. This poll was also

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: done recently, all right. It was done between February the

103
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: twenty sixth and the twenty eight It was also a

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: larger poll about two thousand registered voters by the Harris

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: Poll and Harris X in conjunction with Harvard. The majority

106
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: support for mass deportations is also notable because it remains

107
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: strong amid massive resistance to bration. Politicians, the Democratic establishment,

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: the establishment media, and various pop culture influencers have all

109
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: come together to go and fight on this, as I

110
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier. Now, this poll also showed sixty three percent

111
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: support for a draft law. All right, and this is

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: where it gets really interesting. Sixty four percent support a

113
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver's

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: licenses to illegal immigrants. What does that mean. It means

115
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: that the American people overwhelmingly are in favor of having

116
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: a law that says, if you were a legal immigrant,

117
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: you can't get a driver's license and then go on

118
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: the roads and kill people, especially when you don't know English.

119
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: We've seen those stories. Now, Democrats are hoping that those

120
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: stories didn't hit. Okay, they were hoping that those stories

121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: would fail. They were hoping that those stories would be

122
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: a disaster for Republicans and somehow not for Democrats. Well,

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: guess what this is exactly what I thought was going

124
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: to happen. This is the Democratic Party yet again and

125
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: the media yet again lying to the American people on

126
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: this issue flat out one hundred percent line. Now forty

127
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: percent of Democrats also, by the way, and I think

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: this is actually a really high number for Democrats. Forty

129
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: percent Democrats favor this as well. So on two different issues.

130
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: On immigration, Democrats and a higher number than I expected,

131
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: forty percent Democrats say you shouldn't be able to get

132
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: a commercial driver's license a CDL if you are an

133
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: illegal immigrant. Now, the majority support also for deportations coexists

134
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: with swing voters dislike of the tough police tactics required

135
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: to find and deport migrants amid fierce opposition from pro

136
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: migration activists. Let me translate that for you. The majority

137
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 3: of Americans say that law enforcement should work with ICE

138
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: so that they don't have to go out and round

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: up some of these bad own braids because local authorities

140
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: refuse to give, you know, like go along with ice detainers. Now,

141
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: what is an ICE detainer? If you don't know this,

142
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: I'll explain it to you very quickly. If local law

143
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: enforcement arrests individual and they find out they're an illegal immigrant,

144
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: they find out that they there's a detainer for them,

145
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: a request for ICE, like, hey, don't let this guy

146
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: back out on the streets. We want to come get

147
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: him because he also has X, Y, and Z against

148
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: him when he comes to being an illegal immigrant. That

149
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: is what an ICE detainer does in a simplistic way.

150
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: Sanctuary cities and states do not notify ICE when they

151
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: have an illegal immigrant in custody that they know that

152
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: federal law enforcement is looking for. That's a problem. The

153
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: majority of Americans also believe that those laws should be

154
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: honored and that sanctuary cities are wrong for doing what

155
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: they're doing. For example, the poll shows that fifty five

156
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: percent oppose hiring an additional twenty thousand Border Patrol on

157
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: ICE agents to conduct immigration raids and policing within different

158
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: parts of the country. Why because they believe that law

159
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 3: enforcement locally should actually be doing that job. The Department

160
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: of Home in Security and the Department of Justice have

161
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: had to take many steps to quietly deport immigrants or

162
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: without the drama needed by Democrats as well as the media.

163
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: For example, the DHS is stepping up paperwork checks the

164
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: businesses to see if they are hiring migrants. The Washington

165
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: posting report on March second that at least one hundred

166
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: migrants were recently fired from a restaurant in DC after

167
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: DHS officials reviewed the hiring records of one hundred and

168
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 3: thirty restaurant runs. The first batch of DHS letters went

169
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: out on February the twelfth. They probably won't be the last,

170
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: by the way, this is something that DHS is now doing. Saying, quote,

171
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: I think everybody is going to get one eventually, is

172
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: what one of the DC restaurants said in response to

173
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: these letters. I think it's a rare It's a rare

174
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: restaurant that doesn't have a single person on their roster

175
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: with questionable documentation. One restaurant had to fire twenty nine

176
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: illegal immigrant workers. So these employers know they're hiring illegals,

177
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: they're doing it anyway. When they get caught, then they

178
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: fire them because they don't want to deal with the

179
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: with the aftermath. Right on February, for example, twenty fourth,

180
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: eleven days after receiving receiving the letter, the co owners

181
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: of a restaurant said they tally their losses at twenty

182
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: nine employees. That was lion cooks, they said, prep cooks, bartender, servers, managers,

183
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: and they send a messages to say they would no

184
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: longer be working at his well regarded restaurant because of

185
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: all of these issues that we're talking about here. Now,

186
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: Democrats are saying this is going to destroy the industry,

187
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,359
Speaker 3: and then if you get rid of a legal immigrant workers,

188
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: then prices are going to skyrocket, businesses are going to close,

189
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: and no one's going to want to do these jobs.

190
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: That's not true. That's also part of the lie, and

191
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: I think everybody knows that we've seen that now. I

192
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: think what Americans are clearly saying in this poll, including Democrats,

193
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 3: a right, like a majority of Democrats. I want to

194
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: be clear about that, but a lot more than I

195
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 3: thought was going to say, this is what democrats are doing.

196
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: And what Democrats are saying now is they're like, yeah,

197
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: we really want to have American citizens be first. We

198
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: want American citizens to be put first. We want Americans

199
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: to be able to have affordable health care. We want

200
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: Americans to be able to have affordable insurance. We want

201
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: Americans to be able to have a affordable housing, whether

202
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: that's renting or buying right. These are all things that

203
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 3: have been affected by legal immigrant labor and so I

204
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: look at this poll number, and what it tells me

205
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: is the president needs to understand that there is a

206
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: clear mandate by the president of the United States of

207
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: America to continue doing what he ran on, which was

208
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: not only to secure the border number one, okay, but

209
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: number two, it was to clean up our cities with

210
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: illegal immigrant criminals and those that are in this country illegally.

211
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: That is what everybody really needs to understand.
