1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: We're going to fight crime. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: That's a good thing. 3 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Already they're saying. 4 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,479 Speaker 2: He's a dictator. 5 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: The place is going to hell and we've got to 6 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: stop it. 7 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 3: So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say 8 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 3: we're going to join him and make Washington say but. 9 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 2: He said he's a dictator, and then they end up 10 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: getting mugged. 11 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 12 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Good Thursday morning.

I'm going to explain why. Also, well, 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Congress is on its traditional August recess. It doesn't mean 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: that important work is not being done in DC. In fact, 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee is still investigating the alleged cover 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: up former President Joe Biden's massive cognitive decline and trying 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: to find the answer the question who was actually running 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the country and what was their name and did anyone 27 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: ever vote for them?

Law and order returning state 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: by state and states now working with the Trump administration 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: and ICE officials. Specifically, we now have three states that 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: have signed a new agreement with ICE for quote expanded 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: immigration enforcement operations. These three states include West Virginia, South Dakota, 71 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and Arkansas, all signing the agreements with the Department of 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Homeland Securities, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say, 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: ramp up immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: the first one. The governor there, Patrick Morrisey, announced a 75 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: robust collaboration under Section two eight seven G of the 76 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Immigration and Nationality Act. This agreement enlists the West Virginia 77 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: State Police, Corrections and Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an 79 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: legal immigrant, you don't want to be in West Virginia 80 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: right now now. Under this task force structure, officers can 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: quote interrogate anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number two, 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: process immigration violations for individuals already rested for other offenses. 83 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: Three conduct warrantless arrests if an individual is seen and 84 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: suspected to be a flight risk pending a warrant. Four 85 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: serve immigration warrants, administer oas, collect fingerprints and gather evidence. 86 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: And five issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional 87 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: facilities before transferring them to ICE Cussey under federal supervision. 88 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: You look at what has happened in South Dakota. The 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: governor there, as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder, 90 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: a public safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota 91 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: Highway Patrols support ICE, with the rest announcing it today. 92 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: The National Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks 93 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: as well, and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees, 94 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: identify undocumented individuals within state prisons, and parole them into 95 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: ICE custody. You then move to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 96 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: former White House Press Secretary under Donald Trump, signing the 97 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which definitively increases penalties for 98 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes, again saying to illegal immigrants, 99 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: you don't want to be in Arkansas. It also with 100 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: this new agreement allows sheriffs to apply for the two 101 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: eight seven G authority to serve immigration warrants on those 102 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: already in custody, and Sarah Huckebee Center's announcing this enables 103 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: the Arkansas State Police to stop individuals in public inquire 104 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: about immigration status and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now, 105 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: if you think they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example, 106 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: in Arkansas, there is training required, a forty hour online 107 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: course covering scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues, 108 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: as well as liability. Doing this in a responsible way. 109 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: Now you may be asking what is ICE two to 110 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: eight seven G program. Well, let me explain to you 111 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: the broader context of how this is being used by 112 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The program enables state and local officers 113 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: after ICE provided training, to carry out certain immigration enforcement 114 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: duties under ICE supervision. That is why there's a collaboration 115 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: here and why they are having to sign on to 116 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: the program. Now. As of August thirteenth, ICE has executed 117 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety seven agreements across forty states, including 118 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: various models such as jail Enforcement, Warrant Service, and Task 119 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Force operations. The Trump administration has significantly accelerated these partnerships, 120 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: growing from around one hundred and thirty five to over 121 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: seven hundred agreements in early twenty twenty five alone. Of course, 122 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: the left is going insane, warning that the surge is 123 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: a risk to quote civil rights community trust and invites, 124 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: they say, racial profiling, even though none of these programs 125 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: have anything to do with that. Now, you also may 126 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: be asking yourself, why am I not quoting the president 127 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: right now when I'm telling you about this initiative. Well, 128 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: the President clearly is playing chess on the issue. In fact, 129 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: the White House has had no public statement or reaction 130 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: regarding these specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, 131 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: mainly because they want this to be clearly seen as 132 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: state led that these governors are opting in. And that 133 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: is exactly why the administration is being so successful in 134 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: getting this done with so many different agreements, because they're 135 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: not grandstanding. They're just trying to fight crime, and it's 136 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: clearly working now. 137 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: Story number two, it is the. 138 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: Traditional August recess. It's happening right now in Washington, d C. 139 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: Congress is back in their districts in theory tending to 140 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: business of listening to the constituents. That doesn't mean there 141 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: isn't anything going on with the House Auto pen probe. 142 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: In fact, it's covering a lot about the Biden White House, 143 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: even as Congress is on their traditional recess. The House 144 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, I've been told today, is still investigating the 145 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: LEDs cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline. The 146 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: former president insisting he was responsible for quote all decisions 147 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: that came out of the White House during his time 148 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: in office, and former staff members claim they saw no 149 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well, the House Oversight 150 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: Committee Chairman James Comer discussing the committee's investigation to whether 151 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: the Biden administration covered up the cognitive deterioration of the 152 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: former president. Now, there's also been the question of precedent. 153 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: What is the autopen like in the past, and can 154 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: you compare how other government officials use the autopen in 155 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: contrast to how it was being used when Joe Biden 156 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously in the investigation. Well, 157 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House New Gingrich sat down with 158 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: my good friend Mark Levin, and he was asked about 159 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: the autopen when he was a Speaker of the House 160 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: signing legislation and how big of a deal it was 161 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: to use the auto pen. How seriously was the autopin 162 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: taken and how much was it also protected from abuse? 163 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: I want you to hear what Nuke Gingrich had to 164 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: say to Levin. 165 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: Luke Gingrich question when you were Speaker of the House, 166 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I 167 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: bet you took the requirement that a president actually be 168 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 3: present when a bill is signed very very seriously. I 169 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when 170 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: certain bills are brought, they're brought in a special way, 171 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 3: they're handed to somebody specifically, there's a whole process set up. 172 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're 173 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed 174 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: these bills or if he was present when the bills 175 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: were signed? 176 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well put it that way. Sure. Look, these 177 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: people are corrupt, irresponsible, and happy to exploit the nation 178 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: for their own game. So given those kind of people, 179 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: who knows what they might do? Oh, I think it 180 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: does raises you have brilliantly done in this show today. 181 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: It raises a very big question about whether or not 182 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: these laws are in fact laws. Remember, the founding fathers 183 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: understood that you had to have a pretty strict series 184 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: of rules or the whole system breaks down into a 185 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: kind of corruption which undermines the rule of law. The 186 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: rule of law requires rules, and one of those rules 187 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: is that the president signs bills. Now he can direct 188 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: an autopen for things that are ceremonial Christmas cards, for example, 189 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: but the president ought to be signing these things. And 190 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: when you learn that Biden was signing thousands of commutations 191 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: in the last few days of his administration, you know 192 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: he didn't have a clue what was going on. You know, 193 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 2: we have no idea what the deals were, why those 194 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 2: people were given commutations, or if in fact they were legal. 195 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: So I do think there's a profound question here, and 196 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: probably the Congress and President Trump should really write some 197 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 2: more restrictive rules about what it takes to get a 198 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: bill to actually be a law. 199 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: It's interesting New Camrich when I went back and looked 200 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: at Medisine's notes and looked at some of the other 201 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: essays and comments on that they spent a lot of 202 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: time on this They spent a lot time on this 203 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from the 204 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And back 205 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: then it was this guy is the president. You know, 206 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign 207 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: these laws. We in Congress, we're going to spend our 208 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: time doing all this and send it to him. We're 209 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 3: concerned that somebody might hijacket somebody might sign it. And 210 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to be present. 211 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: I mean, let me ask you that is it really 212 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: asking a president too much to sign the damn bills 213 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: or to be present when the bills are signed. I mean, 214 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that kind of 215 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: prove the point? 216 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that 217 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: after some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly 218 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As 219 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 2: you walked us through. I mean, when you read the 220 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's 221 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: very clear Biden clearly was incompetent sometime. I can't say 222 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: any given date, but sometime in twenty three, it should 223 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: have been obvious to every person who was dealing with 224 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: him that he was no longer competent to be president. 225 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: And I agree with you. Every one of these cabinet 226 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and 227 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: they should frankly be stuck with that. These are people 228 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 2: who willfully cheated the American people and allowed a phony 229 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was the most important. 230 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: She became an effect the acting president of the United States. 231 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: You listen to the claim there by new Gingrich that 232 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: he says Joe Biden effectively became the de facto president 233 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. She was not elected 234 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: by anyone, which goes back to exactly why this investigation 235 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: is happening and why the House Oversight Committee is still 236 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: investigating the alleged cover up of former President Joe Biden's decline, 237 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: even while much of Congress is out of town. 238 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 239 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: with Ben Ferguson.
