Speaker 1: Again, sending every border dress mess or and violator back

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: to the places from which they came. Biden didn't know

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: he was alive. We've been hurt badly by this group

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: of people. He didn't want to do it all over

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the place.

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: We'll get him out. We'll get him out.

00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: That's right. Up to thirty thousand illegal aliens will be

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,800

Speaker 4: explain in just a moment. And draining the swamp apparently

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 4: is a lot harder than some people thought it was

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: gonna be. As the USDA Inspector General refused to leave

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: her office, escorted out that's right, that's the only way

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: to get rid of her. After defying the White House's

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: order and Finally, Donald Trump decides to say, guess what

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 4: you want to teach critical race theory? Go ahead and

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: do it, but you're not gonna get any federal funds.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,039

Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: Story number one.

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 4: You just gotta love winning, and all of us should

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 4: just take a moment and enjoy the announcement that has

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: come from Donald Trump, where he said, guess what illegal

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: aliens you want to stick around in America? Well find

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: out what's going to happen to you. If we catch

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: you with a criminal record. There's a very good chance

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 4: that thirty thousand of you will end up in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: The President made the announcement at the White House today.

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: thirty thousand person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most people

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: don't even know about it. We have thirty thousand beds

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the American people. Some of them are so bad we

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: don't even trust the countries to hold them because we

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: don't want them coming back, so we're going to send

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately,

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: right and tough. That's a tough that's a tough place

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: to get out of. Today's signings bring us one step

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: closer to eradicating the scorge of migrant crime in our

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: communities once and for all.

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: Now, Donald Trump clearly playing chess while others are playing checkers,

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: making it clear that this is a moment he wanted

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: the entire world, especially illegal immigrants, to think about and

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: to hear. He wanted us to spread among countries where

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: people are breaking into the US, letting them know now

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: that the steaks are much higher for being a criminal

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: legal immigrant in the US. You could end up in

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now, the White House also making it

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: clear that this is not just a one off. This

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: is part of their strategy to combat illegal immigrants in

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: this nation. In fact, the White House giving me this

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: information today quote locking up dangerous illegal alien criminals is

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: priority number one, and that is why Donald Trump signed

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: a memorandum to detain the most dangerous illegal criminal aliens

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: in Guantanamo Bay. It directs the Secretary of Defense and

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: the Secretary of Homeland Security to expand the Migrant Operation

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: Center at the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to full capacity

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: to provide extra attention space for high priority criminal aliens

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: unlawfully present in the United States of America now. The

67
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: White House also wanted it to be made very clear

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: to all of you that listen into the rest of

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: the world that keeping America safe is their number one priority.

70
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: The memorandum builds on President Trump's previous executive actions to

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: halt the order invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty.

72
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: Since taking office, President Trump has already declared a national

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: emergency at the southern border, deployed additional personnel to the border,

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: including members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard,

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: restarted border wall construction, designated international cartels and other criminal

76
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: organizations such as MS thirteen and other groups as foreign

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: terrorist organizations specifically designated as global terrorists, which allows them

78
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: to have many more tools at their disposal to go

79
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 4: after them around the world. Trump has also suspended the

80
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: entry of aliens into the US and called for enhanced

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: vetting and screening of aliens. Required the identification of countries

82
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: that warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: of nationals, and Donald Trump has restarted the detention and

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: removal of aliens who are in violation of federal law.

85
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: This while he also resumed the Migrant Protection Protocols also

86
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: known as the Remain in Mexico Order, and the end

87
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: of the use of the CBP one app. This is

88
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: just some of what Donald Trump has done on border security,

89
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 4: but now making it very clear, in a very blunt

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: pr move that if you are an a legal immigrant

91
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 4: and you are a criminal, if you want to play

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 4: that game of chicken with Donald Trump's administration, he's letting

93
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 4: you know there's a very good chance you're going to lose.

94
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: Now. Story number two, Draining.

95
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 4: The swamp can be pretty difficult, especially when the people

96
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: that you're firing refuse to leave their jobs. Well, enter

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: Phyllis Fong, the former Inspector General of the US Department

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: of Agriculture, known as the USDA. She was dismissed by

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: the Trump administration on Friday, January the twenty fourth. Well

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: guess what she said, I ain't leaving. That's right. The

101
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: crazies in Washington, they'll do anything to keep their power.

102
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: And despite her termination, Fong decided to inform her colleagues

103
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 4: of her intention to continue working, citing concerns over the

104
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: legality of the abrupt dismissal. She referenced the Counsel of

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: the Inspector Generals on Integrity and Efficiency stance that such

106
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: a termination notice did not comply with legal requirements and

107
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: were therefore ineffective. Fast forward to Monday, reports emerged that

108
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: Fong was escorted out of her office by security officials

109
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: after refusing to comply with her termination. Now you may

110
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: ask yourself, well, why was she let go? Well, Fong

111
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 4: had served as the USDA's Inspector General for twenty two years.

112
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: She was appointed by President George W. Bush and her

113
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: role encompass overseeing audits, investigations, and other oversight activities related

114
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: to the USDA's programs and operations. Well, the Senate figured

115
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: it out in fact center erst during a confirmation here,

116
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: he brought up the important point that at the USDA, well,

117
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: no one has been showing up for work at all.

118
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 4: Take a listen to this.

119
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 5: I know that we must address some of the work

120
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: policies for federal employees at the Department of Agriculture as

121
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: you know, the GAO reported USDA's headquarters has a space

122
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: utilization rate at just eleven percent. Eleven percent. I've even

123
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: received whistle blower letters from employees describing the building as

124
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: a ghost town. So last year I addressed this exact

125
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: issue with the Secretary, Tom Vilsack, and was met with

126
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 5: very strong opposition. Rather than provide any evidence to dispute

127
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 5: the GAO's numbers, and even after repeatedly following up with

128
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: his staff, he refused to give me specific in office

129
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: numbers or building utilization data. In start contrast, President Trump

130
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: acted immediately to get our federal workforce back to actually

131
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 5: working for the American people.

132
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: Eleven percent, that's it of the USDA's headquarter space is

133
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: in use. It is a ghost town. And as you

134
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: could hear, they are the center saying we got to

135
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: get rid of the people that aren't doing their jobs.

136
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: Maybe that's the reason why this woman was fired in

137
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: the first place. And let this be a lesson everybody

138
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: else in Washington. Show up for your job. The American

139
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: people are paying your salaries, and President Trump demands you

140
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: do your work in an office.

141
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: And lastly, story number three.

142
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: Another major campaign promise from Donald Trump was that he

143
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: was going to get our education system back to the

144
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: basics and out of the hands of the radicals. Well,

145
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump is going scorched earth on the radical

146
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: lefts grip over education and lawlessness, whether it is elementary, middle,

147
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 4: high school, or the college level. He did so today

148
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: through an executive order. School choices also getting prior defunding

149
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: for the first time ever, and schools that are pushing

150
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: CRT and gender ideology will no longer be receiving federal funds. Also,

151
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: Prohama students VISA holders, well you can expect deportations for them.

152
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: The message is clear. America's future will not be shaped

153
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: by radical indoctrination or foreign agitators. And Donald Trump is

154
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: paying off on this clearly now. This executive order to

155
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: defund schools that teach gender ideology and critical race theory

156
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: was one that was well thought out. Now the order

157
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: will give the Department of Education ninety days to create

158
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: a plan about how to weed out CRT, critical race theory,

159
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: and radical gender ideology instruction in K through twelve schools now,

160
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: according to White House memo, Trump notably promised on the

161
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: campaign trail to sign an order defunding schools that teach

162
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: critical race theory, transgender inc sanity, and other inappropriate, radical,

163
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: sexual or political content quote unquote. The White House memo

164
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: also states that the order will direct the Attorney General

165
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: to work with state attorney generals and district attorneys to

166
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: quote file actions against teachers and school officials who sexually

167
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,239
Speaker 4: exploit minors or practice medicine without a license. Through social

168
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: transition practices, something the left has been teaching. Now, critical

169
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: race theory has now been pretty incredible if you look

170
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: how the left has implemented it. They put it into

171
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: virtually all of our institutions, our government, our economy, our culture,

172
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: and they're all based on a radical hierarchy with wide

173
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: individuals on top and black individuals at the bottom. Even

174
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: things that look race neutral are on closer inspection racists.

175
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 4: According to this doctrine, CRT was the invention of a

176
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: group of radical lefts wing intellectuals known as the Frankfurt School.

177
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: They developed it to achieve what they saw as a

178
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: cultural change, a change that looks a lot like well,

179
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: what Marxism is and what it could not achieve politically. Now,

180
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 4: if you will move to gender ideology, what is that well,

181
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: simply put, is the false belief that one can become

182
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: a different sex than what they were born. And colleges

183
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 4: and high schools and elementary schools are indoctrinating anyone who

184
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: will listen. President Trump says he will sign the Executive

185
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: Order to create a National Commission to promote Patriotic Education

186
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: instead of the radical lefts CRT.

187
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: Today.

188
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm also pleased to announce that I will soon sign

189
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: an executive order establishing a National Commission to promote Patriotic Education.

190
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: It will be called the seventeen seventy six Commission.

191
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 6: It will encourage our educators to teach our children about

192
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 6: the miracle of American history and make plans to honor

193
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 6: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our founding.

194
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Think of that two hundred and fifty years.

195
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 4: It's amazing the difference between the Democratic Party and what

196
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 4: they were doing with our kids' minds and what Donald

197
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: Trump is doing right now. God bless Trump for doing this,

198
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: signing this executive order. And finally, some sad news, plane

199
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: is crashed into the Potomac River near Reagan Airport in Washington,

200
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: d C. What we know at this moment is we're

201
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: recording this that it was a regional jet flying from Wichita, Kansas.

202
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: It crashed into a military helicopter. We have also been

203
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: told that this was an American Airlines flight carrying at

204
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 4: least sixty passengers and there are many casualties. We will

205
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 4: keep you up to date on this story as well.
