1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: We have accomplished more in forty three days than most

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: are just getting started.

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning. It has Ben Ferguson with you. It's

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and here are the big

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: stories we're covering today. First up, it was a grand

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: slam for the President of the United States of America

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: with a joint addressed to Congress.

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: How do we know that bill? A new CBS poll says.

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: It's seventy six percent approved of Donald Trump's address. I'll

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: break down the poll numbers for you in much more

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: detail in just a moment. Plus, Democrats didn't learn a

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: darn thing from election night, and they certainly didn't learn

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: anything in the addressed to Congress as anarchy set in

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: among the Democratic Party. So when you look at the polls,

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: are they going to change the way they're doing things?

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: Apparently not. And we have a big showdown over censoring

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: one of those Democrats in the House of Representatives. And finally,

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: it's a really important subject. It is the tariffs on China,

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: on Canada, and on Mexico.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 4: So what is this really all about. I'm going to

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: give you.

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: Exclusive details from the White House on exactly what they

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: want you to know. It's the forty seven Morning Update

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: and it starts right now.

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Here is story number one.

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: After you do a.

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: Say of the Union, the question is did it land

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: with the American people?

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: Well? Boy, did it?

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: Ever, CBS poll has come out and said that seventy

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: six percent approved of President Trump's address to Congress. I

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: cannot tell you how massive that actually is. The majority

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: of Americans overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump's decisions, and viewers who

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: watched it said, yes, we approve of what Donald Trump

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: had to say in his speech, which was the longest

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: day of the Union ever to that Joint Session of

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: Congress Tuesday night. Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: since being inaugurated January two, and exclaimed, we are just

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: getting started. Did the American people believe and support what

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: the President was saying?

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: A wopping seventy six percent of those watching said they

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: approved of Trump's first second term speech to Congress, and

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: this is again coming from CBS News. Now, one of

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: the X factors of this is also just how negative

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: and honestly psycho the Democrats look. They wouldn't even stand

51
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: and clap when someone gets into West Point who had

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: lost a loved one. They wouldn't stand and clap for

53
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: a young boy who has made a Secret Service agent.

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: They wouldn't clap when we talked about bringing actual terrorists

55
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: to have killed Americans at Abba Gate to justice in

56
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: the United States of America.

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: And I'm going to have more on that list in

58
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: a moment.

59
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: But that may be why the President landed the speech

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: so well, is because the American people could see just

61
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: how much the Democratic Party hates basic things that all

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: Americans should be in favor of. It shouldn't be a

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: partisan issue if you have a president saying we're bringing

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: terrorists to justice. It shouldn't be a partisan issue to

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: stand for a young boy who is fighting for his

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: life with cancer and surviving and then being made a

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: you know, a Secret Service agent. This is one of

68
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: those moments that everyone should clap for, and yet the

69
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: Democrats refused to stand. So let's get to the poll

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: numbers and really break this down. Not only did ninety

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: one percent say that Donald Trump spent time on issues

72
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: they cared about, meaning that is a speech that landed.

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: Look, I've gotten to help on a couple of.

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: Different Stay of the Union addresses, and if you walked

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: into the presence at miss President, we just wrote you

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: a speech that ninety one percent of the country is

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: going to connect with and say that you talked about

78
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: an issue they cared about. Let me just tell you,

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: you would be a god in the political speech writing world. Okay,

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: I've never seen a speech to my knowledge that rated

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: afterwards at ninety one percent. That is the holy grail

82
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: where ninety one percent of the people watching said, hey,

83
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: you talked about something that I genuinely care about.

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: Now, that is unbelievable on its face.

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: But then you go back to the other question, Okay,

86
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: was the speech something you watched for a long period

87
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: of time That simply comes down to an issue of entertainment.

88
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: Are you engaged?

89
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: Is the president speaking to you or is he talking

90
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: about things that you don't care about?

91
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: Well, ninety one.

92
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: Percent said the President spend time on issues they cared about,

93
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: and then seventy four percent said the address was presidential

94
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: and also informative and entertaining. A total of seventy one

95
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: percent after that said this speech was inspiring to them. Now,

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: let's go back to speech writing here and say the units.

97
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: When you're writing a speech like this, if you could

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: walk into any president say hey, I'm going to give

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: you a speech that ninety one percent are going to

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: say connected with them in a way, Seventy four percent

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: said that your address was quote presidential, and then seventy

102
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: one percent, mister President, said the speech was inspiring to them.

103
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: That is, these are numbers that I would literally argue

104
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: are virtually unobtainable. Now, these numbers I just gave if

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: you all came from CBS News, so they had to

106
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: have been on a suicide watch after they had to

107
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: report this as a news organization, because this is not

108
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: what they were hoping to tell you.

109
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Next story number two.

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: If you thought the Democrats were going to learn anything

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: from Donald Trump's speech or how America reacted to it

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: with the incredible poll numbers, well you'd be wrong, because

113
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 3: they are all now saying that they didn't do enough

114
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: to disrupt the president of the United States of America.

115
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: Even ABC news is. Sonney Hosten said all the Democrats

116
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: should have walked out during Donald Trump's address that on

117
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: the view saying the Democratic lawmakers should have I guessed,

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: in essence, said we're standing with you. To the one

119
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: man that actually was booted from the night, Sonny Hosten said,

120
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, while I didn't watch it, I was looking

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: for signs of an opposition party, which is what the

122
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: Democratic Party must be at this point, not a resistance

123
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: because resistance is passive. Opposition is active. I think that

124
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: is what I saw when Representative Val Green stood up

125
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: and said, quote, you don't have a mandate to take

126
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: away Medicaid, and he was tossed out. I expected the

127
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: rest of his Democratic caucus, his colleagues, to walk out

128
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: with him, because alone you can survive, but together you thrive.

129
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 3: She went on to say later in the program that quote,

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: that is the energy that we need. They should have

131
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: stood with him in solidarity. We had Jean Pierre here

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: on this show yesterday and she said, we have to

133
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: have a sense of urgency as we move forward, and

134
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: we cannot do it the way we have in the past.

135
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: This is not normal. It is a five alarm fire.

136
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: And what I want to say to the Democrats is

137
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: you can't play by the rules with a party that

138
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: has thrown away the rule book.

139
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: You cannot do it. Now.

140
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: This is coming from the same people that tried to

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: put Donald Trump in prison and anyone else around him.

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: They're the ones that advocated for the raid of Marlago.

143
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: They're the ones that said that the people around January

144
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: the sixth were the same as terrorists that attack this

145
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: country on nine to eleven, you know Sama bin Laden

146
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: in Alquaida. These are also the same people that are

147
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: now actively advocating for anarchy or another word, Democrats obsessed

148
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: over insurrectionists. Now it seems that the Democratic Party is

149
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: calling for exactly that anarchy and insurrection, but not from

150
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: people outside the capitol. They're literally advocating for it by

151
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: the people that have been elected inside of our government.

152
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: You may have also seen during Donald Trump's joint address

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: to Congress, the purple haired congresswoman who went viral Tuesday

154
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: night for scowling throughout the entirety of President Donald Trump's

155
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: addressed to Congress. Well, she decided it was not enough

156
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: just to scowl at the president all night. She even

157
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: put out a special video on X saying this.

158
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 5: I was really stunned that the election was fought over

159
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: the cost of living and people families who live pacheck

160
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: to paycheck, concerned about whether or not they were going

161
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: to be able to pay their bills, be able to

162
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: pay for the healthcare. In some cases, you be putting

163
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 5: food on the table. Addressed tonight didn't address any of

164
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: those issues about cost of living and the fact that

165
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: people live paycheck to paycheck, and what we ought to

166
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: be doing in the Congress is to make sure that

167
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: we are helping people to secure an economic future for

168
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: themselves and their families.

169
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: By the way, let's just hit pause there and go

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: what to the CBS poll numbers actually did tell us

171
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: about the speech. The people watching the speech definitely believe

172
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: that the president was actually talking about those things. In fact,

173
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: when asked whether the president had a clear plan to

174
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: battle inflation in the speech, sixty eight percent said yes,

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: and it was a plan that they could get behind.

176
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: So what is she actually complaining about. She's complaining about

177
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: the fact that Democratic Party lost the last election. And

178
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: that is when she tells you the truth about how

179
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: much she hates Donald Trump.

180
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: Keep listening.

181
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 5: I found the speech to be vengeful, revengeful, and instead

182
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 5: of being lifting the hopes and the aspirations of people

183
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 5: of the United States of how we move forward as

184
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 5: a great nation that we are, what the vision for

185
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: our future was, it devolved into just vindictiveness and self

186
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: adulation on behalf of Donald Trump did not address the

187
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: issue of unchecked billionaires like his friend ally and Elon Musk.

188
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 5: It was not a speech befitting a great world leader

189
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 5: or a great president of the United States.

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: So there you have it.

191
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: They're angry about Elon Musk cutting their waists, their fraud,

192
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: and their abuse. They're also angry to Elon Musk for

193
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: apparently being wealthy, but they have no problem with George

194
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: Soros or any of the other billionaires on the left

195
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: that have been financing this type of quote anarchy and

196
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 3: revengeful vengefulness to quote her. So at the end of

197
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: the day, if you thought Democrats were going to learn

198
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: from their mistakes, apparently they're not at all, and that

199
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: may actually be a good thing for Donald Trump and

200
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: his agenda.

201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 2: And finally, story number three, it's.

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: Very important that you understand what's going on with Donald

203
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: Trump using tariffs to protect American lives There's a lot

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: of misinformation out there about the President and the tariffs

205
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: that have just gone into effect, and I want you

206
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: to understand why. First off, the President is actually doing this.

207
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: You may not know, but President Joe Biden did very

208
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: little on fighting to protect Americans from fetnal. Fetnal smugglers

209
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his time in office.

210
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: That is exactly why President Trump has quickly imposed painful

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: tariffs on countries that are helping those smugglers that killed

212
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: again three hundred thousand Americans during the Biden administration.

213
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: Quote.

214
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: I determined that the failure of the Government of the

215
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained

216
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: influx of synthetic opioids, including fetan, flowing from the Chinese

217
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary

218
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 3: threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of

219
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump

220
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: declared in his March third Order. He also went on

221
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: to say this in recognition of the fact that China

222
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis.

223
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is

224
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting

225
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is

226
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply

227
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't

228
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: the only place we're having problems when it comes to

229
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across

230
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico

231
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for

232
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: xp to the United States. Now, the vast death toll

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: from fetanol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from

234
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in

235
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: multiple government reports. This is something that Biden administration knew,

236
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans

237
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: were oding. Yet Biden's countermeasures were, by the way, all

238
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: tactical when he did act like he was acting, and

239
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: he put little or no pressure on Mexico and China

240
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,

241
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: including Border Chief Majorchis, they prioritize trade deals with China

242
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: and migration deals with Mexico over American lives.

243
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: Let me give you an example.

244
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty two, Biden's deputies stayed mute when Texas

245
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: Governor Greg Abbott uses power over cross border inspections to

246
00:12:53,200 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: force modest concessions from four Mexican regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's

247
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: efforts are being opposed by pro illegal immigrant advocates who

248
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: do not want to recognize the huge death told to

249
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: American citizens. For example, Aaron Boyke at The Washing and

250
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 3: Post wrote this, President Donald Trump's long promised tariffs on

251
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: goods from Canada and Mexico are due to going to

252
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: effect Tuesday. This despite fears that the taxes on imports

253
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: could cripple the economies of our two neighboring allies and

254
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: negatively impact the US economy as well by exacerbating inflation.

255
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: You notice they don't care about American families being ripped

256
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: apart by these synthetic drugs. The New York Times wrote,

257
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: for American families, the likely result is higher prices nearly

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: everywhere they turn, trying to fear monger you that the

259
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: grocery prices are more important than your children's lives. They

260
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: also went on to talk about car dealerships and electronics

261
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 3: stores and iPhones and what you're going to pay at

262
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: the pump. The Wall Street Journal even ignored the narcotics

263
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 3: trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs. Good news is

264
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: Donald Trump wasted no time responding to the Wall Street

265
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: Journal criticism, saying this quote the terrifobby headed by the

266
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: globalist and always wrong. Wall Street Journal is working hard

267
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many

268
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: others to name continue the decades long ripoff of America,

269
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: both with regard to trade crime and poisonous drugs that

270
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: are allowed to so freely flow into America. China, by

271
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetnol, saying, Oh,

272
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of

273
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: the United States of America, however, is saying, Yes, this

274
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: is a battle worth fighting. Why Because it's already cost

275
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: the lives of more than three hundred thousand Americans and

276
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: that clearly is something he's willing to fight for.

277
