1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Are you considering taking over the DC Police.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Is not an option on the footbe We're considering it, Yeah,

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: because the crime is ridiculous. I could show you a

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: chart comparing DC to other locations and you're not going

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: to want to see what it looks like. Now, we

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: want to have a great, safe capital and we're going

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: to have it. We're going to beautify this city. We're

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: going to make it beautiful. What a shame the rate

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else.

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: We're not going to let it. And that includes bringing

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: in the National Guard, maybe very quickly too.

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning to you.

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: the White House snabbing a number of bad Own braids

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 4: with very little border crossings, and the media is not

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 4: telling you about how successful this administration is it finding

20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: those that are breaking into this country that are a

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: threat to all of us. Bus we're hearing now from

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: Donald Trumps White House. An executive order is on its

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 4: way over debanking of conservatives by small, mid size, and

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: especially large banks that are attacking Conservatives and Christians solely

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 4: based because of their belief system.

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I'll break that down for you in a second.

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: All right, I want to take a moment talk about

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street,

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: You've seen what's been happening with interest rates, and you've

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals,

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,560

Speaker 4: also get transparency. This is why I recommend them. Their

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: mission is clear. They want to help you protect what

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: matters most with real metals, real service, and real clarity.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 4: Now here's why I love what they do at Kirk

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: Elliott Precious Metals number one bullyon only approach. They focus

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: on investment grade metals, not overpriced quote collectibles or gimmick

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: products that cost you an insane amount of money for

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: what you're actually getting. What they do is they sell

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: you more metal for your money and fair value when

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 4: it's time for you to actually sell. They also have

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: upfront transparent pricing, just eight percent when you buy and

47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: zero commissions when you go to sell. There are no

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: hidden fees on top of that ever, that is the

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: reason why I recommend them. They also make sure they

50

00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: with them. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: starts right now.

64
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: Story number one.

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: I want to get to another important issue. Uh.

66
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: It's a big one, and it's one that so many

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: Americans have, especially the media, have really really really overlooked

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: it completely. That's part of what I like to do

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: here is bring you different information that others are refusing

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: to cover. And this one is one that is really

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: interesting because the number of arrests of migrant got aways

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: continuing now in Texas despite record low apprehensions at the border.

73
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: The media doesn't want you to know how many bad

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: own braids we have right now in this country. The

75
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, the National guardsmen, and

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: the Border Patrol agents are continuing to arrest migrants to

77
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: illegally cross the border between the ports of entry and

78
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: made their way into the US interior. The Trump administration

79
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: has just released more info. Recent arrests include three Chinese

80
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: nationals who got away from the border after crossing near

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 4: Mission Texas. What we now know is that this was

82
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: an operation that Texas DPS did. They posted video to

83
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: social media showing the continuing activities of the troopers, the

84
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: garment and Border patrol agents, who, despite these record low

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: apprehensions of the border said now their job is to

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: fine migrants being smuggled into the interior Texas after not

87
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: being apprehended at the border. Law enforcement teams they say

88
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: are real problems are having facing real problems because they're

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: going after and continue to seize drugs that are being

90
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: smuggled into Texas. You have human smuggling arrests that are

91
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: are still happening each and every day. You have canine

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 4: teams now that are actually being able to do their

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: draw jobs by tracking and assisting US Port Patrol in

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: the tracking of these drugs. We're seeing drug seizures, they said,

95
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: in Brownsville, Texas, stolen vehicles that are being used by

96
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: the cartels, and others that are that are grabbed in Laredo, Texas,

97
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 4: for example. This is just some of what is happening

98
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: at the border. We also know this past week that

99
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: smugglers were sentenced to ten years in prison. You've got

100
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: pursuits to ranch tracks to all these missions that are happening,

101
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: and they're wanting people to understand what's going on here now.

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: One example that was reported was on July the thirty first.

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: One of the videos they put out show Border Patrol

104
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: mounted patrolled teams tracking migrants in Duval County, Texas. The

105
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: team tracked the illegal alien to attempt to escape by

106
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: using thick brushes cover. That's where the Texas DPSK nine

107
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: team managed to apprehend the two legal aliens and turn

108
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: them over to Border patrol agents.

109
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Now, they weren't able.

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: To do this type of work before because they were

111
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: babysitting illegal immigrants at the border under the Biden administration.

112
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: Earlier on Thursday, for example, they reported the arrests of

113
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: these three Chinese nationals that were apprehended near Mission, Texas

114
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: after clearing the border without encountering a border patrol agent.

115
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: And this is part of the problem. Now the troopers say,

116
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: we're getting to do our jobs. Now they were to

117
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: stop the human smuggling attempts. Last week, also in De

118
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: Mint County, Texas, they pulled over a Florida driver. The

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: troopers fround two Mexican nationals illegally president in the US,

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: hiding in the rear cargo area of the suv. Again,

121
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 4: another example of the bad own braids that we're talking about.

122
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 4: On July third, for example, it was reported what did

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: the arrest of ten illegal aliens near Mission. These included

124
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: four migrants from Uzbekistan, Now, why does that matter, Well,

125
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: it's a hotbed for terrorism. That's one of the big

126
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: concerns here is that how many people have come in

127
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: this country illegally that are terrorists and wanting to do

128
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: things and do real harm inside the United States of America. Now,

129
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: in June, to put this in perspective of where we

130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: are now because of a strong border security from this

131
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump, border patrol agents apprehended three thousand, nine

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five migrants who illegally crossed the border

133
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: into five Texas based sectors. Let me just explain to

134
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: you the difference between June of this year and June

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four, when Joe Biden was like, everybody,

136
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: come in, we have an open border. They caught thirty thousand,

137
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: seven hundred and sixty six compared to three thousand, nine

138
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five one year apart.

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: What changed? A president that is enforcing the law.

140
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: The Southwest Land border encounters that were reported and public

141
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: by the US Customs and Border Protection said, this is

142
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 4: now going back to a point that we can manage

143
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: and protect the border compared to what it was now.

144
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: If you do the math on that, this represents a

145
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: drop of now more than eighty seven.

146
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Percent year over year.

147
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: The June apprehension numbers are also down from five four

148
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: hundred ninety one migrants apprehended in May. So this is

149
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: also sending a message around the world you probably don't

150
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: want to try because you're going to get caught. And

151
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: it's not an open border that we had under the

152
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: radicals in the Biden regime. Border apprehensions in the Texas

153
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 4: based sectors and June accounted for approximately sixty six percent

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: of all migrants apprehended along the southern border with Mexico.

155
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: Nearly four thousand, six hundred migrants were apprehended in all

156
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 4: nine border patrol sectors along the southwest border in July.

157
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 4: That marks she had another historic low for the Trump administration.

158
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: So Christy Noome put it out this way, and she

159
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: said in her tweet where she was going through all

160
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: these numbers, and again, why is the media not telling

161
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: you how safe the border has become? Because they don't

162
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: want you to know this. Okay, history made again is

163
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: how Christy Noome put it. The numbers don't lie. This

164
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: the most secure the border has ever been. President Donald

165
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: Trump didn't just manage the crisis. He obliterated it. No

166
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: more excuses. Christy Nome said, no more releases. We put

167
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: the cartels on defense and taken our border back. She

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: then said, in July the lowest nationwide encounter number ever

169
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: twenty four thousand, six hundred and thirty. That is down

170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: two point four percent from June. But here's the number

171
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: that you're going to care about. It's ninety percent lower

172
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: than the monthly average under the last administration. The lowest

173
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: border patrol apprehensions nationwide also six thousand, one hundred and

174
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: seventy seven. That shattered, by the way, June's all time

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 4: low as well. She went on to say, this the

176
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: lowest Southwest border apprehensions we've ever seen, four thousand, five

177
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety eight, nearly five hundred fewer than the

178
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: daily average under the last administration, which averaged five thousand,

179
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten apprehensions per day from February of

180
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one to December of twenty twenty four. We

181
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: also have the lowest daily apprehension average, just one hundred

182
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: and forty eight per day. That's lower than the average

183
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: rate of one hundred and fifty two apprehensions every two

184
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: hours under the Biden administration last July alone, So we're

185
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: doing one hundred and forty eight a day in apprehensions.

186
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 4: They were doing one hundred and fifty two every two hours,

187
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: every hour of the day twenty four to seven last July.

188
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 4: And then she finally says, this the lowest single day

189
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: apprehensions in history eighty eight at the Southwest border, one

190
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: hundred and sixteen nationwide on July the twentieth. Now look

191
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: at the calendar right now and where we are. What

192
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 4: you're hearing and what we're seeing from border patrol agents

193
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: and from the Trump administration is that the word is

194
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: getting out. Do you really want to go into incredible

195
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: debt to try to come to America to immediately get

196
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: caught and then be sent home? Do you want to

197
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: pay these smugglers to get you in and you're going

198
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: to get caught? You look at the lowest single day

199
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: apprehension in history eighty eighth the Southwest border.

200
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: And one hundred and sixteen nation one on July twentieth.

201
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: Now I say that because you may say, well, okay,

202
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: hold on, maybe there was a bad weather day. No

203
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: it wasn't. It was actually a great weather day. Why nay,

204
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: on July twentieth, did you have these numbers drop that much?

205
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: Because that's the last day we have reported and public

206
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: access to what Donald Trump is doing is he's going

207
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: after and using ICE and they're going after the illegal

208
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 4: immigrants everywhere they are, including sanctuary cities. Word is getting

209
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: back to the smugglers and the human traffickers and those

210
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 4: that were paying them that it may not be worth

211
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: you paying them because you're probably not going to make it.

212
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: And that is how Trump is making America safe again.

213
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: Now story number two.

214
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: In a major move to protect all Americans, the White

215
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: House were now being told is preparing a new executive

216
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: order that would find banks, small, medium, and the largest

217
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: for dropping customers for political reasons. The Wall Street Journal

218
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: is reporting on it now. The order directs bank regulators

219
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: to investigate whether any financial institutions might have violated the

220
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 4: Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, or consumer financial protection laws,

221
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: the journal reported, citing a draft text of the order.

222
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 4: The order, which could be signed as early as this week,

223
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: provides for monetary penalties, consent decrees, or other disciplinary measures

224
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 4: against violators. The order also directs regulators to strike policies

225
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 4: they have that might have contributed to banks dropping certain customers,

226
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: and requires the Small Business Association to review the practices

227
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: of banks that guarantee the agency's loans. Now, this is

228
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: a major move for protecting specific conservatives that have been

229
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: debanked by large banks and small banks alike. There are

230
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: many in the Second Amendment community that have also been

231
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: debanked as well. There are Christian organizations that have been debanked,

232
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: missionary organizations that have been debanked, and conservative organizations that

233
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: have been debanked, especially during the Biden years. Now the

234
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 4: President saying, you can't do that. It's un American and

235
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 4: we're not going to allow it to stand.

236
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Now.

237
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: Reuters is also reporting at this hour that the White

238
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: House is apparently working on this at a rapid pace

239
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: because they believe it is time to hold banks accountable

240
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: that targeted people specifically for their political beliefs.

241
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Now, after speaking with.

242
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: People at the White House late this afternoon, here's what

243
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: I can also tell you. The White House, I've been told,

244
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: is in fact preparing an executive order that would empower

245
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: the regulators to penalize banks for quote, terminating customer relationships

246
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: based on political beliefs. These penalties could include hefty fines,

247
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: I'm being told, and also disciplinary actions. Now, financial regulators

248
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: would be instructed to investigate potential breaches not only the

249
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: Equal Credit Opportunity Act I mentioned earlier and antitrust laws,

250
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: but also consumer protection regulations by banks accused of politically

251
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: motivated actions against those who had bank accounts at their bank.

252
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: The draft order also calls on policymakers to revoke existing

253
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: internal bank policies that actually may have led to politically

254
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: motivated account closures, and directs the Small Business Administration to

255
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 4: review loan back practices that could involve similar issues as well. Now,

256
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: although no banks are mentioned by, the order appears tied

257
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: to public criticism of major institutions such as JP, Morgan Chase,

258
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: and Bank of America accused of severing ties with conservative clients,

259
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: a charge that of course they strongly deny, and the

260
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal has reported on this extensively recently. Now,

261
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: according to others, the order could be signed like I

262
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: said this week, potentially spelling major trouble for big banks.

263
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Now.

264
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: This move reflects Donald Trump's ongoing concern, especially from conservative circles,

265
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: about political bias or debanking and financial services. It forms

266
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: part of a broader regulatory agenda to ensure economic institutions

267
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: remain neutral and customers aren't penalized for political beliefs. At

268
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: the end of the day, the President of the United

269
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: States of America wants to make sure you're not targeted

270
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: because you voted for him, and in the future, to

271
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: make sure that no matter who you vote for, you're

272
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 4: not targeted by a bank. Now, the order has not

273
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: been officially issued yet, and there's a very good chance

274
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: there will be changes that are made in the coming

275
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: days and hours. Banks and regulators also are remaining relatively quiet,

276
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: and the White House is saying they're willing to talk,

277
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: but there's many that are scared what may be coming

278
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: down the pipeline. And the big question is this, which

279
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 4: agencies are actually going to lead enforcement oversight I'm being

280
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: told is likely going to be by federal banking regulators,

281
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: the Department of Justice, and the SPA. Implementation details are

282
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: going to work through the White House and the hours

283
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: and days ahead. At the end of the day, what

284
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: does this mean, Well, it means that dun Up Trump's

285
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: looking out for conservatives that have been targeted solely because

286
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: of our political beliefs.

287
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Xactly why so many Americans voted for it.

288
