1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Shakerside, Texas. What do you like Republicans tour redraw the Congression.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Well, there's about four of them. I'll let you figure

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: that one out. But we have about four of them.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: In three cases it's one and in one case it's

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: two or three at Texas would be five. We start

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: off a little slow and then we get a lot

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: of hits.

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 4: Good Saturday morning to you. Ben Ferguson with you, and

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 4: these are some of the stories that you may have

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 4: missed that we talked about this week on the forty

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: seven Morning Update. First up, in a major move, the

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Supreme Court has stepped in Okay, the Presents planned to

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 4: shut down the Department of Education, returning educations back to

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 4: the States, and the left has gone completely unhinged. Also,

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: the Muslim Brotherhood is an organization that many other countries

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 4: have already designated as a terrorist organization. Yet why has

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: the United States of America not done so so far? Well,

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: there's new legislation that happen and it could be a

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: major moment for this White House, including the possibility of

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 4: an executive order. We'll have those details for you as well.

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: And finally, Democrats got to go to Alcatraz, you know

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: Alligator Alcatraz, and what do they do? They freaked out

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: and they lied. Tom Homan set the record straight of

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: what actually is happening at Alligator Alcatraz and we have

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: the details for you. But first I want to talk

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 4: to you about the economy. You've been seeing what's happening

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: on Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: Why because there is uncertainty all over the world right now.

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: And when there is uncertain times, you want real answers

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,840

40

00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: starts right now.

63
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: Story number one.

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: President Trump campaigned on getting education public education back to

65
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: the States and back to the local municipalities, and most importantly,

66
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: giving the power back to the parents to get their

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: kids the best education possible. He also said he was

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: going to shut down the Department of Education. Linda McMahon

69
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: had the job of doing exactly that, but the left

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: decided to step in with injunctions to stop her from

71
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: doing that job. Well, now the Supreme Court has come

72
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: down with their ruling. It was a six y three

73
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: ruling lifting a lower court injunction that had blocked the

74
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: administration from laying off about one thoy four hundred employees,

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: nearly one third of the Department of Education workforce. This

76
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: ruling temporarily green lights Donald Trump's March executive order directing

77
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: the Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to quote take all

78
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: necessary steps to close the department to the fullest extent

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: possible via administrative action. Now, six concervative justices allowed the

80
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: layoffs to proceed while litigation continues in the lower courts.

81
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: Justice Sotomayor joined Atlanta Kagan and Jackson sent unting strongly

82
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: warning that these decisions enable executive lawlessness, as they described it,

83
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: and erodes a separation of powers by allowing a de

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: facto dismantling of a congressional agency via unilateral staffing cuts. Yes,

85
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 4: the left is all in to try to stop Donald

86
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: Trump from getting kids a better education. Now, the High

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: Court paused this preliminary injunction that went into effect by

88
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: the US District Judge, a judge who was a Biden

89
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: appointee in Boston, that ordered the employees be reinstated. Quote,

90
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 4: the United States Supreme Court has headed a major victory

91
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: to parents and students across the country by declaring the

92
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: Trump administration may proceed on returning the functions of the

93
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: Department of Education back to the States. Is what Donald

94
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: Trump wrote in a post on True Social He went

95
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: on to say, now, with this great Supreme Court decision,

96
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: our Secretary of Education, Elena McMahon, may begin the very

97
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: important process, saying the federal government has been running our

98
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: education system into the ground, but we are going to

99
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: turn it all around by giving the power back to

100
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 4: the people. Trump went on to say, America's students will

101
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 4: be the best, be the brightest, and be the most

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: highly educated anywhere in the world. Thank you to the

103
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: United States Supreme Court. Now the Supreme Court sixty three

104
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: ruling came in that dispute that begins shortly after the

105
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: Education Department on March the eleventh announce the reduction of

106
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: force involving oney three hundred and seventy eight employees. McMahon

107
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: said in a news release that the staff reductions reflected

108
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: the Department of Education's commitment to quote efficiency, accountability, and

109
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most to

110
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: the students, to the parents, and to the teachers. Trump

111
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 4: issued that executive order nine days later that instructed McMahon

112
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of

113
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: the Department of Education, and on March twenty first, he

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: announced that the programs for Students with special needs and

115
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: the Federal Student Loan Portfolio would be transferred from the

116
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human

117
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: Services and the Small Business Administration, respectively. That is when

118
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: a group of twenty states in the District of Columbia

119
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: to public school districts and teachers' unions filed a federal

120
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: lawsuit in Massachusetts arguing the staff reductions violated the Constitution

121
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: and the federal laws governing administrative agencies, yet again putting

122
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: the teachers union ahead of the parents and most importantly,

123
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: the students. Now Secretary of Education McMahon put this out

124
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: on Acts, saying, quote, today the Supreme Court again confirmed

125
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: the obvious President of the United States of America as

126
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: the head of the executive Branch, has the ultimate authority

127
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: to make decisions about staffing levels, administrative organization, and day

128
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: to day operations of federal agencies. While today's ruling is

129
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: a significant win for students and families, it is it's

130
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: a shame that the highest court in the land had

131
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: to step in to allow President Trump to advance the

132
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: reforms Americans elected him to deliver using the authorities granted

133
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: to him by our US Constitution. She went on to say,

134
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: the US Department of Education will now deliver on its

135
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 4: mandate to restore excellence in American education. We will carry

136
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: out the reduction of force to promote efficiency and accountability,

137
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: and to ensure resources are directed where they matter most

138
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: to students, parents, and teachers. As we return education to

139
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: the States. This administration will continue to perform all statutory

140
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: duties while empowering families and teachers by reducing education bureaucracy.

141
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: Yet again, the President United States of America not backing

142
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: down and making sure that American students have a chance

143
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 4: to succeed instead of being in a total failing system

144
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: with a federal government that has done anything but give

145
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 4: them a great education. Next story number two. It is

146
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: a very important piece of legislation that very well could

147
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 4: become an executive order and finally be done in the

148
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: US something that's already been done around the world. Texas

149
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: GOP Center Ted Cruz is set to introduce a bill

150
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: that would formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization,

151
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists Designation Act of twenty twenty five,

152
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: which follows repeated attempts to name the group of terrorists organization. Now,

153
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: it differs from previous versions as it calls for a

154
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: bottom up approach, and, according to a fact sheet provided

155
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: by Centaer Cruise Office, the previous attempts failed because quote,

156
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: not all Muslim Brotherhood branches are currently violent and wouldn't

157
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: therefore meet the criteria for designation. Now, let's be clear

158
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: about what other countries are doing. Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Aradibia, Syria,

159
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: and the United air of Emirates already designate the Muslim

160
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The b bill urges Secretary

161
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: of State Marco Rubio to catalog Muslim Brotherhood branches that

162
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: are designated as terrorist groups and designate additional ones that

163
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: meet relevant criteria, and mandates the designation of the Global

164
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 4: Muslim Brotherhood for its support for those terrorist groups that approach.

165
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 4: Actually mirrors with President Donald Trump did in twenty seventeen

166
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: in his effort to sanction Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard known

167
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: as the IRGC, an effort that designated the IRGC is

168
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 4: a foreign terrorist group. Now, Cruise's effort is openly supported

169
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 4: by GOP centers from Arkansas, Tom Cotton, for example, and

170
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: Rick Scott in Florida, as well as Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania.

171
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: Arab allies also appear ready to back the initiative, with

172
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: one official telling The Free Beacon in June that any

173
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: of the countries in the Middle East that have already

174
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization would welcome

175
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: the United States doing the same thing now. Cruises bill

176
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: would use three ways to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a

177
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: terrorist organization congressional action under the nineteen eighty seven Anti

178
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: Terrorism Act, the State Department recognizing the Muslim Brotherhood as

179
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: a terrorist organization and specific designation as a specially designated

180
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: Global terrorist group. This is just some of what they're

181
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: now looking at now. The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,

182
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: would have ninety days after the bill passes to submit

183
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: a report to Congress cataloging all Muslim Brotherhood branches around

184
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: the globe. The legislation would instruct him to designate any

185
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: identified group that meets the criteria. The bill then authorizes

186
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: a formal designation for the Muslim Brotherhood's global operation under

187
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty seven ATA, creating a primary embargo under

188
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: which Americans are banned from engaging in financial transactions with

189
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: the group and rendering its services.

190
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Now.

191
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: In April, Jordan, the country banned the Muslim Brotherhood from

192
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: the country altogether. According to their charter. The terrorist group

193
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: AMAS is a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim

194
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: Brotherhood assassinated Egyptian President Awar Sadada in nineteen eighty one

195
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 4: for making peace, by the way, with Israel. The Muslim

196
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: Brotherhood's goal is clear to turn the world into a

197
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: theocratic empire. Stand with us. Has also said. The Muslim Brotherhood,

198
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: founded in the Egypt in nineteen twenty eight, is a

199
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 4: revolutionary fundamentalist movement to restore the caliphate and strict Sharia

200
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 4: Islamic law is something that they demand. I want you

201
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 4: to hear more directly from what Center Cruz had to

202
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: say about this legislation and also the fact that this

203
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: could become an executive order.

204
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: The Muslim Brotherhood is a global Islamist violent organization. It

205
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 5: was founded in nineteen twenty eight in Egypt. It was

206
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 5: a fringe group for the first few decades, and then

207
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 5: it grew dramatically inside of Egypt, and then it spread beyond.

208
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: The Muslim Brotherhood has branches and countries and territories all

209
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: over the world, and they are openly committed to seize

210
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: control of those countries and seizing control of those territories,

211
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: they explicitly intend to use violent jihad to overthrow non

212
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: Islamist governments. During the Obama administration, they did. They seized

213
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: control of Egypt. Mohammed Morci and the Muslim Brotherhood seized

214
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 5: control until they were ultimately overthrown by the Egyptian army.

215
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 5: By the way, when when the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt,

216
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: the Obama administration cheered them on. And how do we

217
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 5: know that the Muslim Brotherhood supports terrorism because several of

218
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: their branches are explicit terrorist organizations. Among those is Hamas,

219
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: which everyone listening to this podcast knows about.

220
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 4: Hamas.

221
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hamas is one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood.

222
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: They also include other groups that folks may not have

223
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: heard about, like Hassim and Leewa al Thawrah, both of

224
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 5: which the State Department says have been associated with the

225
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 5: Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and they are branches that have already

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 5: been formally designated as terrorist groups. Other Brotherhood branches are

227
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: committing terrorism right now, but they haven't yet been formally designated.

228
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 5: Just a few weeks ago, the Jordanian government disrupted attacks

229
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: being planned by Brotherhood members and police raided the Islamic

230
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 5: Action Front, which is the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branch.

231
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: I think it would make a very good.

232
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: Sense for us to vote on it on the Senate floor,

233
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 5: for John Thune to bring it up and make senators

234
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 5: vote Most of the Democrats are going to vote. Now,

235
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: I think it'd be valuable to get them on record,

236
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 5: force them to vote. But I'll tell you what I

237
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: think the real path to success will be is that

238
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: we're going to lead the fight in the Senate. I

239
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 5: hope we tee this up for a vote, and if

240
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: the Democrats block it, which in all likelihood they will,

241
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: they have for a decade. What I think is going

242
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: to happen is I think the President is going to

243
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 5: do this through an executive order. And I'm certainly urging

244
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: President Trump to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist

245
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 5: organization through an executive order. And I think the fight

246
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 5: that I'm leading in the Senate helps build momentum for

247
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 5: the President to step in and make this designation. I

248
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 5: think it's going to happen. I think we're gonna see

249
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 5: it happen this term.

250
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: There's no doubt the Muslim Brotherhood is a global terrorist organization.

251
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: In fact, they have chapters in eighty different countries. And

252
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: if you want to know what the Brotherhood thinks about America,

253
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: they want America to fall. In twenty ten, their Supreme

254
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: Guide told their followers to quote, be patient because America

255
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: is heading towards its demise. Make no doubt about it.

256
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 4: It's long overdue for us to designate the Muslim Brotherhood

257
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: as a terrorist organization, and hopefully it's something the President

258
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: will be doing very soon. And finally, story number three,

259
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was

260
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: running for president, if you vote for him, he's going

261
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: to secure the southern border and also have the largest

262
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: deportation this country has ever seen of illegal immigrants. The

263
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: President holding true to that promise, regardless of how much

264
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 4: the media attacks him. Which brings us to the big

265
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: story about Alligator Alcatraz. It is simply the Everglades Detention Center.

266
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: It's located at the Dad Callier Airport in the Florida Everglades,

267
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: and the facility has actually been nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz. And

268
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: that's where the media lost their minds Now. It began

269
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: operations on July third. It's intended to hold up to

270
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: five thousand immigration to dainees. As of today, lawmakers and

271
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 4: the press have visited under tight restrictions. Democrat officials infuriated,

272
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: describing it as quote vile, horrible, and citing overcrowded cages,

273
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: lack of sanitation, extreme heat, worm infested food, flooding toilets,

274
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: and restricted legal access. The reality that's all a lot.

275
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: The Trump administration Republican officials have defended it, saying it

276
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: meets standards and it serves a deterrent, and plans exist

277
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: to replicate this model in other states, doubling down now.

278
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: It's currently a flashpoint in the immigration debate, praise by

279
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: many like myself who support the present saying this is

280
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: effective in condemning illegal immigration, even as Democrats quote unquote

281
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: call it inhumane. Well, the President of the United States

282
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 4: of America making it clear, sending out Tom Homan to

283
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: do TV to talk about immigration and also Alligator Alcatraz,

284
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: and he set the record straight with data bash on

285
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 4: see it in take a listen.

286
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 6: I do want to turn to what is going on

287
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 6: in Florida, and that is what the administration, what you

288
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 6: call Alligator Alcatraz, was visited by Democratic members of Congress yesterday.

289
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 6: They were given limited access, and this of course is

290
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 6: a new detention facility set up by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

291
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 6: What these congress people described was sweltering heat, bugginfinst infestations,

292
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 6: meager meals. They say they heard detainees crying out for help.

293
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 6: The wife of one man detained there said he's not

294
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 6: been given access to a lawyer. He's been in detention

295
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: for about two weeks. Is that acceptable to you? And

296
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 6: is that what you're saying when you go, I.

297
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: Have not been there yet, and I doubt a lot

298
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: of that's factual. I mean, bottom line is, you know,

299
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: from the day one, I've been doing this job since

300
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, detainees complain about the conditions of detention.

301
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: And I said this many times. You can simply go

302
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: to ICE dot GUB and look at the detention standards

303
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: ICE has. They have the highest attention standers in the industry.

304
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: But these same congressmen are complaining about alligator alcatracts. You

305
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: didn't see him complaining about under Biden administration, people being

306
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: held in Borbital parking lot surrounded by a fence in

307
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: the swatter heat. Not a word. You didn't hear a

308
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: word about half a million children being trafficked in the

309
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: country and them not being able to locate three hundred thousand.

310
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: President Trump, this administration is finding thousands of those children,

311
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: So you know they they have a lot of anger.

312
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: Under President Trump, and how we're doing business, and they

313
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: ignored four years of open borders, historic migrant death, historic

314
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: Americans dying from fatanahl, historic numbers and women killing being

315
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: sex traffic, historic number of people on terras, Watson is

316
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: coming across the border. Silence, Silence because they're complicit, because

317
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: they didn't take the administration on and ask them security border.

318
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: You can't have strong national security in this country if

319
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: we don't have border security. We got to know who's

320
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: coming and what's coming to where it's coming. Well, instead,

321
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: they kept silent, and they kept feeding the American people.

322
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: We have a secure border, and we did not. There

323
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: are consequences of breaking laws, and I think that's why

324
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we have the most secure boarder

325
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: in history of this nation today. It's just not because

326
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: we've got boots on the ground on the border, not

327
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: because we end the catcher leaves a lot of its consequences.

328
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: You're watching what's happening, we're enforcing the immigration law, and

329
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: I think that consequence has a lot to do with

330
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: having the most secure border in the history of this nation.

331
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,520
