1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Well, this is a group NBC that is truly fake news.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: They ask a lot of questions in a very pointed way.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: They're not questions, says Stavements.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: It's NBC trying to get off the subject of what

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you just saw. Allow you are a real you know

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: you're a terrible report number one. You don't have what

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: it takes to me report and you're not spotted up.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning to you.

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 4: the new book that is out as saying that Joe

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 4: Biden wasn't actually the president of the United States of America.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: In fact, there's now new accusations that there was five

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 4: different people that were running the country.

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: We'll have the details on that as well.

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: Also, the American people are now backing Donald Trump at

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: the same level they were on the day he was inaugurated.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: This after big news from a Middle East trip, the

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: trade in tariff.

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Negotiations going extremely.

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 4: Well, and the President making it cleary securing the border.

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: We'll have those details on those polls in just a moment.

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: And finally, Tom Homan, the Borders Are is going to

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: join us in a moment and we're going to talk

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: a lot about what's happening at the border, as well

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: as what's happening with Fentyl and the national security crisis.

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Story number one.

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 4: The Atlantic has come out with a new article entitled

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 4: an Autopsy Report on Biden's in office decline. The headline

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 4: reads this way about the new book Original Sin. That

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: book says this, five people were running the country and

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board. Now,

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: this new book that has come out, Jake Tapper is

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: one of the authors of it from CNN, is now

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: describing a presidency without a president where there were five people,

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: none of them actually named in this book, who were

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: running the country and calling all of the shots. We

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: also are now learning that the cognitive decline of the

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: president was massive even before he became President of the

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: United States of America. For example, three years later, on

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: the presidential campaign trail, Biden's struggles became more obvious to

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: those around him. Tapper and Thompson report in twenty twenty,

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: for example, members of Biden's inner circle gave the candidate

47
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: a teleprompter with scripted questions for a local news interview.

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: His dwindling communicative and cognitive abilities, aids were shocked, as

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: they said they couldn't rely on Biden to stay on message,

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 4: and he often had a very short attention span. The

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 4: book's most astounding, previously unreported story from Biden's twenty twenty

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: campaign concerns his staff's attempts to create videos of the

53
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: candidates speaking to voters over zoom. Tapper and Thompson's description

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: of this this is worth quoting at length, saying this

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: Biden would sit in a room with several monitors beaming

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: the faces of real Americans in front of him so

57
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: they could discuss issues of importance. You have to remember

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: this was during the time of COVID. The videos came

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: back hours of footage. Some on the team couldn't believe

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: their eyes. The videos were horrible. One top Democrat said

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 4: he couldn't follow the conversation at all. I couldn't believe

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: it set A second Democrat who hadn't seen Biden in

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: a few years. It was like a different person. It

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: was incredible. This was like watching Grandpa who shouldn't be driving. Yes,

65
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: they're referring to Joe Biden when he was running for

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: president in twenty twenty. A special team was brought in

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: and told to edit the videos down to make them arable,

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: if only a few minutes worth. They had to get

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: quote creative. The authors go on to write edited the

70
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: videos likely appeared fine the viewers, Biden no worse than

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: any other you're on zoom, But two of the Democrats

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: who were involved in the film's production together were dumbfounded, saying, quote,

73
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: I didn't think he could be president. The second Democrats said,

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: after what they'd seen, they couldn't understand how Biden could be.

75
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Capable of doing the job.

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: And that's not the only thing that apparently is being

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: revealed in this book that comes out on Tuesday. Another

78
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: example of just how bad things were quote.

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty.

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: Two, according to one witness, Biden found himself unable to

81
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: remember the names of his own national security advisor, Jake Sullivan,

82
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: Steve he called him at least twice, or his communications

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 4: director Kate Bettingfield, whom Biden once resorted to calling press.

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: That's not the only thing that we learned from this

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: book and the excerpts. As some high ranking Democrats quoted

86
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: anonymously in the book put it to Tapper and Thompson,

87
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: after Biden's disasters debate with Trump last June, they said, quote, just.

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: Who the hell is running the country? Question mark.

89
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: At least one unnamed source close to the Biden administration

90
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: was willing to provide the authors with an answer. And

91
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: this is the part that should make every American angry.

92
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: Quote five people were running the country, the insider said,

93
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: seemingly referring to the president's closest advisers, and Joe Biden

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 4: was at best a senior member of the board. Near

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: the end of the book, Tapper and Thompson offer a

96
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: glimpse into how powerful Democrats responded, for example, to the

97
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: grim spectacle of Biden's early summer face off with Trump.

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: The authors described as seeing that the home of James Costos,

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: an ambassador to Spain under Obama, where celebrities and politicians

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: gathered to watch the debate as a dodoring Biden tanked

101
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: on stage in front of some fifty million Americans. The

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: film director and Democratic donor Rob Reiner became scared, then furious, saying, quote,

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: We're going to lose our efing democracy because of you,

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: he screamed, seeming to direct his ear at the closest

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: thing to a Biden official in the room. Who was it,

106
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: the second gentleman, Doug Enhoff. What Reiner apparently failed to consider,

107
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 4: but what original sin the book prompts readers to ask,

108
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: is whether America's democracy was already meaningfully diminished. Describing how

109
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: some in Biden's world justified propping him up for reelection

110
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, A longtime aide toil Tapper and

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: Thompson quote, he just had to win and then he

112
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: could disappear for four years. He'd only have to show

113
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: proof of life every once in a while. In other words,

114
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: before Biden stepped down from the race, the plan for

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: some aid seemed to be the weekend at Bernie's, a

116
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: cognitively impaired president, in the hopes that upon winning a

117
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: second term, he could be hidden from the public while

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: unelected staff took care of the real business of governing.

119
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: When you vote for somebody, you're voting for the people

120
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: around them.

121
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Too.

122
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: This aid offered as a way of justifying what was,

123
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: by any reasonable metric, an effort to undermine democracy and

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: defraud the American people.

125
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: So, yes, the cover up was massive.

126
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: Yes we had someone running the country or a group

127
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: of people that were elected by no one. And now

128
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: the question is what is Congress going to do about it?

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: And will there be an investigation? We'll keep covering it

130
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: right here now, story number two. There's one thing that

131
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: is for sure. Democrats are having a tough couple of weeks.

132
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: James Comy is under investigation. Now there's a massive tell

133
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: all book talking about Joe Biden not actually being the

134
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: president of the United States of America and Democrats who

135
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: are rallying behind the eighty six forty seven picture on

136
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: the beach.

137
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: It's not going well. But who is it going well for?

138
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: Where Four polls are now showing that Donald Trump has

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: a strong approval rating. That's right, coming off of last

140
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: week's trip to the Middle East. In his administration's recent

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: progress on trade agreements, it appeared a boosted the perception

142
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 4: among American voters, with four national polls now showing Donald

143
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: Trump's favorability rating above forty seven percent. Consistent with the

144
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: levels following his inauguration. Polls released on Monday by Morning

145
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: consult Rasmussen and Harvard Harris showed Trump's approval ratings at

146
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: forty eight, forty nine, and forty seven, respectively, and the

147
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: Daily Mail poll release Sunday showed his approval rating at

148
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: actually fifty percent. Despite the doom and gloom headlines from

149
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: news organizations, the American people actually feel great about the

150
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 4: direction of the country. That's what the White House had

151
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: to say, and adding this what's to hate. We are

152
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 4: undoing the widely unpopular agenda of the previous office holder,

153
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: uprooting waste, fraud and abuse, and chugging along on the

154
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: great American comeback. The Daily Mail poll was conducted by

155
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: the Way May thirteenth and fourteenth, with a large sample

156
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: size of more than one thousand registered voters. Trump's approval

157
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: rating is a five percentage points from a poll taking

158
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: one hundred days into his second term nearly three weeks ago.

159
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: The most important thing this shows is that Trump can

160
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: bounce back when some of his voters waiver. Is what

161
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: James Johnson, the co founder of j L Partners, said.

162
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: People who are concerned about the sense of direction. The

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: strength after tariff reversals are now back on board as

164
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 4: they see the President doing what they feel he does best,

165
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: making deals. This on top of the new news that

166
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 4: we may actually get an endo the war with Ukraine

167
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 4: and Russia that the President is brokering, will only push

168
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: his approval ratings higher.

169
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: And finally, story number three.

170
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: There is one man that is fighting tooth and nail

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: to keep all Americans safe and getting rid of violent

172
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: criminals that are in this country illegally. His name is

173
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: Tom Homan and he's the borders are And I was

174
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: able to sit down with him and ask him several

175
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: questions about exactly where we are and the fight to

176
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: get rid of so many people that broke in this

177
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 4: country illegally.

178
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: And here is what he had to say.

179
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: You mentioned the budget a moment ago, and how important

180
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 4: it is to have the budget for you guys to

181
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 4: continue your job.

182
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: Explain for everyone listening.

183
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: Is that referencing that the big beautiful bill and what

184
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 4: is in there that you need so much to continue

185
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: to do your job at the border?

186
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, we want to make the border secure permanently, so

187
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: we need more infrastructure, right, so we need to finish

188
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: building that wall. Now, let's be clear, every place they

189
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: build a border barrier, illegal migrations went down, illegal drug

190
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: flow went down. But most important, walls save lives. Women

191
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: and children can't get over that wall, the most vulnerable,

192
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: so they go to a place so there's not a

193
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: wall on what's waiting on them the men and women

194
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: of the border patrol first of all. So the ball

195
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: saves lives. So we need to finish the border barrier.

196
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: We need money to finish the technology within the existing

197
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: border wall, because not only did President by And stop

198
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: the construction of the wall, he stopped adding the technology

199
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: in that smart wall. Technology that let's just know how

200
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: someone climbs that wall, touch this wall, dig under that wall.

201
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: Technology where borbitual agents in the middle of nowhere can

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: get on the radio and use walls repeaters to talk

203
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: to other agents for help. There are some places on

204
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: the southern border where they lose all communications. So all

205
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: that technology needs to be done. More technology yet, and

206
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: port of entries to make sure no ventano's coming through.

207
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: And as far as the entire enforcement, we need beds.

208
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: Right now, we got about fifty two thousand people in detention.

209
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: We're funder that thirty four thousand ICE is already in

210
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: the hole. We need about one hundred thousand beds because

211
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: everybody we arrest needs a bet. We just don't rest

212
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: somebody in New York City and put them on a

213
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: plane leave. We got to detain them for several days

214
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: or several weeks to get travel doctrines, get flight flight arrangements,

215
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: flight finances. So we need bets. So we need you know,

216
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: so this budget, that the depending budget right now, the

217
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: big beautiful bill, will give us some money filled beds.

218
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: They're going to give us thousands of more borbagilations, thousands

219
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: more ICE agents. It's going to give ICE a budget

220
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: to bring in more contracts up. What I mean by

221
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: that badgers and guns shouldn't be sitting at a desk

222
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: doing reports of processing. They shouldn't be sitting at a

223
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: desk doing travel doctrins and all the all the administrative

224
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: duties that occurred within ICE. You can have a contractor

225
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: sitting there doing that work. Give that badging gun, get

226
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: them out on the street to arrest the public safety

227
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: thrusts and national security threats. So we needed the money

228
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: to do. Like I said, We're doing more than Biden

229
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: did but Biden wasn't doing anything. We need to do

230
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: ten times more than buying too, not three times more.

231
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: And I'll leave you with this. We got seven hundred

232
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: thousand illegal aliens in this country where the criminal conviction

233
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: walking the streets this country. We got to get them.

234
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: We got to gain it quickly. We got one point

235
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: four man illegal aliens who do head due process a

236
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: great taxpayer expense, were ordered removed by a federal judge

237
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: and didn't leave, and they become fusitives. We got a

238
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: lot of work to do, and we need money to

239
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: do more. We're doing good, but more money we have,

240
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: the more we can do.

241
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 4: Tom, you mentioned finding them all. Let's talk about sanctuary

242
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: cities for a second. It's very clear Democrats are not

243
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: backing off of that. How dangerous is the policy? And

244
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: who is being harbored in these cities that are refusing

245
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: to work with you guys?

246
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: Will there be accountability?

247
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: Are they harboring MS thirteen gang members and domestic terrafts,

248
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: foreign terrafts? Uh, those that are putting the fetnel out

249
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 4: in society? How dangerous are these cities?

250
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: Were the dangerous the dangerous for everybody because in the

251
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: sanctuary city means I don't have access to the jail

252
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: arrust a bad guy public safety threat in the safety

253
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: and security of the jail, where the alien safe, the

254
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: officers safe, on the public safe. When sanctuary cities knowingly

255
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: leased a public safety a threat back in the street,

256
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: it certainly puts the community at risk. It even puts

257
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: the alien at risk because anything can happen during the

258
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: street arrest and great, it puts the officer that great

259
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: arrisk because now we've got to arrest a criminal alien

260
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: public safety threat on his turf. We has access to

261
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: who knows what weapons. It's very dangerous and yestural host

262
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: Sanctuary cities accountable. Its pam binding has already fought lawsuits

263
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: against several Uh, we're we're we're working with DJ now again.

264
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: We want we want where's that right? Where's that where's

265
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: that line? Where when do you cross that line? You

266
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: can sit there and watch Ice do your job. Because

267
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: here's what irritates me the most. I don't care what

268
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: party you're in. If you're an elected mayor, elect, a

269
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: city council person, or elected governor, your number one responsibility

270
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: it's the safety and security of your neighborhoods, your communities.

271
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: ICE has been clear from the beginning with President Trump,

272
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: We're going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats.

273
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Why will you not help us make your community safer.

274
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: There's no downside on that. And the sanctuary city is

275
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: want to argue what we're a sanctuary city because we

276
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: want victims and witnesses of crime, if they're illegally United States,

277
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: to feel comfortable coming to the law enforcement without fear

278
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: of working with ICE. That is a bunch of crap.

279
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: Victims and witnesses of crime don't want the bad guy

280
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood either. And as far as the illegal

281
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: alien community, I'll say this, despite being here illegally, many

282
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: of them are god fearing family people. They don't want

283
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: a preyer in they neighborhood either. They didn't want someone

284
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: convicted DUI ten times driving to their neighborhood either. So

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, if you go to the immigrant community and

286
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: ask them one simple question, would you rather have ICE

287
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: operating in the jail or in your community? What do

288
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: you think they're going to say? They're going to say

289
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: to jail, so sanctuouses will be held accountable. Matter of fact,

290
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: we're reissuing the ICE detainer. We just changed the new

291
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: ICE detainer. We're letting them black and white. Let them

292
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: know this person is a designated terrorist, this person is

293
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: a designated return felon. We're going to let them know

294
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: exactly who they were detaining based on biographic and biometric information,

295
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: and see what they do. Are they going to violate

296
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: Relates and Riley Act, Then we'll go out to prosecution.

297
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: Now they're going to know at least a terrorist. Then

298
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: we're going to go out to prosecution. So it's about

299
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: to get a lot tougher, and it's the right thing

300
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: to do.

301
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: I want to go back to accountability for a second time,

302
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: and I want to ask you there are a lot

303
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: of people that believe that there were laws that were

304
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 4: broken deliberately in the last administration. They knew they were

305
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 4: breaking the law. One of those would be former Homeland

306
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: Security Secretary. My orc is that you mentioned a moment ago.

307
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: So should he be criminally prosecuted for his role in

308
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: the border crisis if it was as deliberate as it

309
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: now seems.

310
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: Look, I think what he did was borderline trees in this.

311
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutor. But what

312
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: he did, he did more damage to this country. Him

313
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: and the Biden administration. What they did to this country,

314
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: I can tell you when they opened that border up

315
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: sex trafficking women should to increase tenfold of a record

316
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: number of migrants died making that journey. Over four thousand

317
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: or record number of Americans died from fatanah that come

318
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: across that open border. And it's just what he calls

319
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: this country and from a national securities perspective, because here's

320
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: what his orders were, process quick, release quick. They didn't

321
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: care about the crisis. They cared about the optics of

322
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: the crisis. If there's no overcrowding, there's nothing to see here.

323
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: So border trades were processed as quick as they could

324
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: and releasing that quicker as they could. And there's been

325
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: several instances would they release so quickly the FBI scan

326
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: didn't come back and and it came back hot. Actually

327
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: they already Bember released. They came back hot as a

328
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: non inspected terrorst So, yeah, he what he did was unconsortable.

329
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: What he did is in my opinion borderline in treeson

330
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: is he should be held accountable because a lot of

331
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: deaths occurred under his watch, and look at like like

332
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: Sandra Cruz said a few minutes ago, right now, ninety

333
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: six percent decline and illegal immigration when ninety six percent

334
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped,

335
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: How many children aren't dying crossing a border. How many

336
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: no inspected terrorists aren't getting in the country. How many

337
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: pounds of fatanyl is not getting a country? What are

338
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: you going to see in the President Trump's administration? Vatanyl

339
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: deaths to decrease, sex trafficking with decrease, smuggling with decrease,

340
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: and no inspected terrors. They got no open n anymore.

341
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: Now that we got the boarder secure, every single borders

342
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: religion is under lying on patrol. During his National security

343
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: duty under Joe Biden, it was an average most days,

344
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: an average seventy seven zero seventy percent of agents were

345
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: no longer on patrol. They were changing diapers, making baby formula,

346
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: making hospital runs. The last time I went down there

347
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: before the election, I talked to hundreds of board plays

348
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: and told me to hang on, hang on, change his coming.

349
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: I really think Plesant Tump's going to win, but they

350
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: told me no, We're sick of being tour station. We're

351
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: sick of being uber drivers. We process and delivered these

352
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: people to the very same people who pay for their smuggling.

353
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: They couldn't recruit, They couldn't people were quitting. They were

354
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: quit before it even else well for retirement. They couldn't

355
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: read recruiting numbers. You know, last month, Ice, I'm excusing

356
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: bor Patrol had the highest recruiting numbers and the history

357
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: of that ABC just last month.

358
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 4: I gotta say, there's so many Americans that are so

359
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: thankful that Donald Trump picked Tom home And to lead

360
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: in this role. And it's also very clear that he's

361
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: not stopping. He is going to continue to fight for

362
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: Americans and make sure that these violent criminals and those

363
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 4: that are human trafficking, sex trafficking, bringing in FETNOH at

364
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: record numbers, and killing American citizens are out of this

Speaker 4: Border and continued to build the wall they promised that

368
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,520
