1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Kinda makes defense and all gives it to Mexico, puts

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: it through Canada, puts it through different places, mostly Mexico,

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: but also a lot through Canada, and so all three.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: Haven't treated us very well.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Good Monday morning. It's Ben Ferguson. Nice to have you

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: with us on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Donald Trump dismantling the deep State in a blood bath.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Who all got fired? Well, you're going to love the list,

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: and I'll have that for you in just a moment. Also,

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: the National Guard has been granted authority to make immigration

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: arrests in Texas. What does this mean and how is

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: it going to change the game and fighting illegal immigrants?

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: Will have that as well. And finally, Donald Trump enacts

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: tariffs on Canada and Mexico. They're fighting back, So who

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: will win the battle? We'll explain that. It's the forty

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Story number one.

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: We all know what the deep State did to try

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: to overthrow the will of the people in elections in

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: this country in recent history. We know how they went

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: after Donald Trump and tried to imprison him and many

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: people around him. We know how they lied about the

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden laptop. So the question, and for many has

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: been will there be of accountability? The answer yes, in

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours are proving exactly that, as

27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: it is nothing less than a bloodbath with the deep state.

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Let me explain to you exactly what has been done.

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: All federal prosecutors handling January six cases have been fired,

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: Computers have been locked and marched out of their offices.

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: These prosecutors by security. David Sunberg, the FBI Assistant director

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: at the helm of the January sixth investigations, has also

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: been terminated, and twenty leaders of FBI field offices have

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: been escorted out of the FBI buildings around the country.

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: This is significant. I mentioned a moment ago the Hunter

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: Biden laptop story, and you may remember all of those

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: Intel officials that signed a letter saying that they believe

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: the Hunter Biden laptop story was in essence a lie

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: and had the markings of quote Russian disinformation. Many of

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: the people, if not all, that signed that letter knew

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: they were lying to the American people. They knew the

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: laptop was real and had been authenticated in fact by

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: the deep state, So what happened to them? The fifty

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: one intelligence officers who spread misinformation about Hunter Biden's laptop

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: and it clearly interfered in our elections are now banned

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: from entering federal properties in a massive move by the

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: Trump administration. We also have found out that federal employees

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: are now required to return to office, with non compliance

49
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: leading to termination. This is expected to have a major

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: impact on the deep state and many leftists deciding not

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: to come back to work. We also found out that

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: for John Bolton and John Brennan, they're having a very

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: bad day. They have been permanently banned from government buildings

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: as well. Gerald Harold Rogers has been indicted also for

55
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: compromising US trade secrets to China, and there has been

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: a ban on all use of pronouns and government communications.

57
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: We also have been told that all two million Feds

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: have been sent a resignation offer, and this purge is

59
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: marking the beginning of the end of the corruption in Washington,

60
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: d C. Is how the Trump administration is looking at it.

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: We are just two weeks into draining the swamp and

62
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: this is the biggest overhaul of America's government in our

63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: modern political history. Simply put, Donald Trump is breaking it all,

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: breaking it all down to its core, and rebuilding it

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: with true patriots that love this country instead of trying

66
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: to overthrow the will of the people.

67
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Now story number two, there's.

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: Nothing more exciting than getting to tell you about major

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: breaking news and trends that will probably expand outside of

70
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: an original story. Well, that is one of those stories

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: you're about to hear right now, and that is this news.

72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: The Texas National Guard has now been granted authority to

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: make immigration arrests in a memo of understanding between the

74
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Customs and Border Protection known as the CBP and the

75
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: State of Texas. Texas will immediately grant the Texas National

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: Guard soldiers. The memorandum, which has not yet been disseminated

77
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: to all Texas border sectors, will allow the soldiers, we're

78
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: being told, to perform roving patrols and exercise all the

79
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: duties of an immigration agent so long as a US

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: immigration officer or border patrol agent accompanies them. What does

81
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: this mean? They are going to imbed US Customs Enforcement,

82
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: immigration officers, border patrol agents within the National Guard and

83
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: everyone with them will have the same authority to arrest.

84
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: This is going to change the entire game at the

85
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: southern border in Texas. According to the Memo of Understanding,

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: the ratio of soldiers to immigration officers is preliminarily listed

87
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: as one officer to four soldiers. The title eight United

88
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: States Code Arrest authority was granted to multiple federal law

89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: enforcement agencies just days after President Trump's inauguration on January

90
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: the twenty third, The Department of Homeland Security also authorized

91
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: federal law enforcement agents to quote, investigate, determine the location of,

92
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: and apprehend migrants in an illegal status. The details of

93
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: that memorandum, obtained and released in a recent news report

94
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: by CBS News, are similar to the Memo of understanding

95
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: reviewed also now by Breitbart Texas. The duties of the

96
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: Texas National Guard soldiers are law enforcement related, generally reserved

97
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: for agents assigned to specific agencies under the Department of

98
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: Homeland Security. Now, this latest granting of immigration arrest authority,

99
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: what it means for boots on the ground is this,

100
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: This is going to add at least three thousand Texas

101
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: Army National Guard soldiers to the number of ATF, FBI

102
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: and United States Deputy marshals who are now assisting the

103
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security and enforcing federal immigration law. Simply put,

104
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: the President clearly is finding ways and his staff around

105
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: him to allow for a maximum number of people to

106
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: go to the southern border in Texas to get the

107
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: southern border back under control. This is going to be

108
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: a game changer. I would also expect, based on sources

109
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: that I've talked to around the White House, that you're

110
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: going to see this same plan rolled out in other

111
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: border states as well. Moral of the story, if you

112
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: earn a legal immigrant, you better watch your back in

113
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Texas and very soon other states around the country. And lastly,

114
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: story number three, President Donald Trump signed a very important

115
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: executive order yesterday issuing tariffs on goods coming into the

116
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: United States from Canada, Mexico, and China. Simply put, Donald

117
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: Trump said, these countries are taking advantage of America and

118
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: there is a massive trade in balance now. The order

119
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: implemented a twenty five percent tariff on Mexican and most

120
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: Canadian goods, while imposing a ten percent tariff on Canadian

121
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: energy products and Chinese goods. Trump said Americans could feel

122
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: quote some pain after the tariffs take effect. Canada and

123
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: Mexico also decide to hit back, with the Canadian Prime

124
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: Minister Justin Trudeau, who recently resigned but is still in charge,

125
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: and the Mexican president as well through but in retaliatory

126
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: measures that include tariffs. Canada's retaliatory tariffs would begin Tuesday,

127
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: the day that US tariffs on Canadian imports are scheduled

128
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: to take effect. Mexico said in a video message that

129
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: they would announce the details of what they call Plan

130
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: B as soon as Monday afternoon. The Chinese Commerce Ministry

131
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: also responded by announcing that China would file a lawsuit

132
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: with the World Trade Organization as a WTO and take

133
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: necessary countermeasures to quote firmly safeguard its rights and interests. Now,

134
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: let's talk about what is really at stake here. Tariffs

135
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: are going to boost the US economy, creating jobs, raising wages,

136
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: and reducing imports. Trump's tariffs, he says, will lead to

137
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: restoring the growth in steel and manufacturing in the US.

138
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Trade deficits with China, Mexico, and Canada have worsened under

139
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: the Biden administration, and tariffs reduced the US China deficit

140
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: by thirty five percent and encourage companies like Hondi and

141
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: Apple and Volkswagen to invest in America. There's also another

142
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: part of this, the fetnyl crisis. Most fetanyl comes from

143
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: China and Mexico, fueling record overdose deaths and a border

144
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: security crisis. Illegal immigration has also searched, with four hundred

145
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: suspected terraces and two million guideways crossing the border under

146
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: Biden as well. This is the other reason why the

147
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: tariffs Trump says are important to make sure that both

148
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: countries start to secure the border. Also, kN it relies

149
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: on US trade and defense, but spends far less on

150
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: security for the US. The President says, simply put tariff's

151
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: work by protecting American jobs, reducing dependency on foreign imports,

152
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: and strengthening national security. That is why he says he's

153
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: going to do it now. The question is how quickly

154
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: can all this be resolved and how long will Canada, China,

155
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: and Mexico stand in this back and forth tariff war.

156
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: Only timing will tell, but so far Donald Trump has

157
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: been very successful and making sure that when he has tariffs,

158
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,880
