Trump’s Law-and-Order Agenda Gains Ground with American Voters · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I told you so.
0:03
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't say it. I love it when I
0:04
Speaker 2: give you predictions and they're spot on. That is hopefully
0:08
Speaker 2: why you listen to the show. Because guess what we're
0:10
Speaker 2: now hearing from the White House. The White House Economic
0:13
Speaker 2: Advisor Hassett is now saying the shutdown could end this week.
0:18
Speaker 2: Why because the No King's Rally has happened. Democrats ran
0:23
Speaker 2: to those rallies and laid down before the extremists, the Marxists,
0:27
Speaker 2: the Socialists, and the Democratic Party.
0:30
Speaker 1: And now that that is over, they can now.
0:33
Speaker 2: Actually go back to again not holding America hostage and
0:36
Speaker 2: shutting down our government. The National Economic Council director predicting
0:41
Speaker 2: that the ongoing government shutdown is likely to end sometime
0:44
Speaker 2: this week, but Warren the Trump administration may impose stronger
0:49
Speaker 2: measures if the.
0:50
Speaker 1: Funding impasse continues.
0:52
Speaker 2: But first, did you see that gold just hit an
0:55
Speaker 2: all time new high of over four thousand dollars an ounce?
1:00
Speaker 2: And if you hear that and you're like, are you
1:01
Speaker 2: kidding me? And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity.
1:05
Speaker 2: Well I don't know if you missed your opportunity. But
1:08
Speaker 2: my friends at kirk Elliott Precious Medals they can answer
1:11
Speaker 2: that question for you.
1:12
Speaker 1: You also may not be.
1:14
Speaker 2: Paying attention to the incredible gains with silver that are
1:17
Speaker 2: happening right now as well, and that's why I trust
1:20
Speaker 2: the guidance of the team at kirk Elliott. In fact,
1:24
Speaker 2: I literally just got a hundred ounce bar of silver
1:28
Speaker 2: the other day. And the reason why is because after
1:30
Speaker 2: I talk to the team at kirk Elliott Precious Medals,
1:34
Speaker 2: they let me understand exactly where I could have a
1:36
Speaker 2: big upside in investing in silver.
1:39
Speaker 1: Now.
1:39
Speaker 2: The other part that I love about them is this
1:42
Speaker 2: they have transparent pricing. There are a lot of gold
1:45
Speaker 2: companies that you'll hear about if you listen to talk
1:48
Speaker 2: radio or podcasts or watch TV, but do they tell
1:51
Speaker 2: you how the pricing actually works well. At kirk Elliott,
1:56
Speaker 2: they're real simple, just eight percent when you buy and
2:00
Speaker 2: zero commissions when you sell, with no hidden fees. Ever,
2:05
Speaker 2: that is the other reason why I recommend them to
2:07
Speaker 2: all of you. They also don't sell you quote rare
2:10
Speaker 2: coins or precious coins that you pay insane markups on
2:14
Speaker 2: and then when you go to sell them you find
2:16
Speaker 2: out they're really not worth that much. They are a
2:19
Speaker 2: bullyon only approach. They focus on investment grade metals, no
2:24
Speaker 2: overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks. That means you get more gold
2:29
Speaker 2: or silver for your money at fair value when it's
2:32
Speaker 2: time for you to sell. So if you're ready to
2:35
Speaker 2: find out if gold and silver is right for you
2:38
Speaker 2: in your portfolio, then call them and get a plan.
2:42
Speaker 2: You can visit them at k e PM dot com
2:46
Speaker 2: slash ben that's k e PM dot com slash ben
2:52
Speaker 2: or seven two zero six oh five thirty nine hundred.
2:57
Speaker 1: That's seven two zero six five.
3:00
Speaker 2: I have thirty nine hundred Kirk Elliott Precious Metals online
3:04
Speaker 2: at k e PM dot com. This is what he
3:08
Speaker 2: had to say on CNBC and the only interview he's
3:11
Speaker 2: done about the government shutdown and the last week, clearly
3:15
Speaker 2: making it obvious that the White House is behind everything
3:18
Speaker 2: that he's saying.
3:19
Speaker 1: And here is what he had to say on CNBC.
3:22
Speaker 3: Twenty of the government shutdowns. Join US now, National Economic
3:25
Speaker 3: Council Director Kevin Hesset. It's day twenty of the government shutdowns.
3:30
Speaker 3: Join us now, Nasal Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset.
3:33
Speaker 4: It's good to see Kevin.
3:34
Speaker 5: Good morning.
3:36
Speaker 4: This give me.
3:37
Speaker 3: The blueprint of how you think this ends. I don't
3:40
Speaker 3: think it's that difficult for you maybe to go out
3:45
Speaker 3: on a limbar. Do you think the President gets involved
3:48
Speaker 3: and gives the Democrats some type of assurance for these
3:53
Speaker 3: Obamacare subsidies or do you think he takes a hard
3:57
Speaker 3: line And you mentioned on over the weekend that some
4:01
Speaker 3: extreme measures are possible about firing people, taking away things
4:05
Speaker 3: that are important at Democrats.
4:07
Speaker 4: What do you think really happen right right?
4:09
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, the President has been very active
4:12
Speaker 6: throughout this process, but it's also his position that this
4:15
Speaker 6: is a thing that the Senate.
4:16
Speaker 5: Needs to work out.
4:17
Speaker 6: A lot of our friends in the Senate have said
4:19
Speaker 6: that it was just bad optics for Democrats to open
4:22
Speaker 6: the government before the No King's rally, and that now
4:25
Speaker 6: there's a shot that this week things will come together
4:28
Speaker 6: and very quickly the moderate Democrats will move forward and
4:31
Speaker 6: get us an open government, at which point we could
4:33
Speaker 6: negotiate whatever policies they want to negotiate.
4:36
Speaker 5: With regular order.
4:37
Speaker 4: Now.
4:37
Speaker 6: I was very pleased to see that my friend Senator
4:40
Speaker 6: Shaheen from Hampshire, a very sound minded Democrat, came out
4:45
Speaker 6: and supported opening the government on Friday, so it means
4:48
Speaker 6: that they're sort of cracks in the Schumer armor.
4:50
Speaker 5: I think the Schumer shut.
4:51
Speaker 6: Down is likely to end some time this week, but
4:53
Speaker 6: I can tell you that if it doesn't. If it doesn't,
4:56
Speaker 6: if the story that we've been basically hearing from moderates
4:58
Speaker 6: that look, we just can't do it under the no
5:00
Speaker 6: King's rally, if that ends up not being true, that
5:03
Speaker 6: I think that the White House is going to have
5:04
Speaker 6: to look very closely along with Russ vote at you know,
5:08
Speaker 6: stronger measures that we could take to bring up to
5:10
Speaker 6: the table.
5:11
Speaker 3: So there would be negotiations about what to do we're
5:15
Speaker 3: running out of time before November. First, there would be
5:18
Speaker 3: negotiations about what to do with the pandemic super subsidies
5:24
Speaker 3: for Obamacare.
5:26
Speaker 6: Well, that again is an issue for the Senate.
5:29
Speaker 5: That you know, the Democrats passed that law.
5:32
Speaker 6: They it was in an emergency for COVID and they
5:36
Speaker 6: ended it now because it was such an expensive law.
5:39
Speaker 6: And so it's the Democrats policy. It's a Democrats shutdown,
5:41
Speaker 6: and it's a super shutdown, and really the Senate needs
5:45
Speaker 6: to figure it out.
5:45
Speaker 3: But it affects you know, real people and people in registrates,
5:49
Speaker 3: and I mean we're subsidizing healthcare for a lot of it,
5:51
Speaker 3: but we're like it or not.
5:52
Speaker 1: That's just the position we're in.
5:54
Speaker 3: So there are certain people that either wouldn't have healthcare
5:57
Speaker 3: or where the premiums would go up so much. Not
6:00
Speaker 3: to say that it's you know, not Obamacare's fault, because
6:04
Speaker 3: there's a lot of flaws, but you see something where
6:07
Speaker 3: there would be some fixes put in to get Republicans
6:10
Speaker 3: who agreed to do that.
6:12
Speaker 5: Again, that's up to the Senate to negotiate.
6:14
Speaker 6: But if you look at the expiring subsidies, you know,
6:17
Speaker 6: the vast majority of people, certainly low income people, aren't
6:19
Speaker 6: affected at all. It's just that the policy was expanded
6:24
Speaker 6: to people up to four times the povery level, and
6:26
Speaker 6: so you get people who have much much higher incomes
6:29
Speaker 6: than were intended to be predicted by Medicaid, and they
6:33
Speaker 6: gave them basically, you know, a free card as well
6:37
Speaker 6: back during COVID. And I think that some scrutiny about
6:40
Speaker 6: that is something that in you know, the course of
6:43
Speaker 6: ordinary Senate business, I would expect senators.
6:44
Speaker 5: Should debate that. But this is about keeping the government open.
6:47
Speaker 6: Remember, the Democrats got thirteen continuing resolutions that were clean
6:51
Speaker 6: when Joe Biden was there, which means that Republicans understood
6:55
Speaker 6: their constitutional duty to keep the government open. Time after
6:58
Speaker 6: time after time, people say, oh, the Democrats voted, you know,
7:01
Speaker 6: for a CR thirteen times. So it's actually the Republicans
7:03
Speaker 6: voted for it too, because they understand that the job
7:06
Speaker 6: of the senator is to be the voice of moderation
7:08
Speaker 6: in Washington, as opposed to what Senator Schumer's doing. Frankly,
7:11
Speaker 6: where he's the exact opposite.
7:14
Speaker 7: Is anybody talking to anybody, Kevin, because every person we
7:18
Speaker 7: talk to makes it sound like there is not.
7:21
Speaker 6: No absolutely absolutely, especially like within the Senate, everybody's talking
7:25
Speaker 6: to everybody.
7:26
Speaker 7: Does that extend to the White House? Does this extend
7:28
Speaker 7: beyond that? It doesn't sound like last week Schumer and
7:31
Speaker 7: Thune were saying that they hadn't had conversations.
7:34
Speaker 6: Well, well, everybody in the White House has conversations with
7:37
Speaker 6: senators every day, is all I could say. But at
7:39
Speaker 6: the end, it's the position of the White House that
7:41
Speaker 6: the you know, the President believes that the Senate needs
7:44
Speaker 6: to work this out.
7:45
Speaker 2: So if you break down what you just heard there
7:47
Speaker 2: from Hassett, it's a couple of different things Number one,
7:50
Speaker 2: it's very clear Democrats were waiting to vote to reopen
7:53
Speaker 2: the government until after this weekends. Nationwide, no King's protests
7:57
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump, right, that's number one. Number two, they
8:01
Speaker 2: are holding us hostage and claiming it's over these subsidies,
8:05
Speaker 2: which you just explained very well, which during COVID put
8:09
Speaker 2: it four x what you should have it at when
8:13
Speaker 2: it comes to when you should get subsidies for your
8:16
Speaker 2: health care, and they did that during COVID. With these subsidies,
8:19
Speaker 2: which again were during COVID. Democrats have never met a handout.
8:24
Speaker 2: They don't like to still give to people. So that's
8:26
Speaker 2: part of the problem here. And all of this comes
8:30
Speaker 2: as the federal government enters a third week of a shutdown.
8:34
Speaker 2: There's again no clear end insight, but it is clear
8:38
Speaker 2: that when it comes to the polling now, Democrats are
8:42
Speaker 2: actually losing on the issue. How do we know this
8:47
Speaker 2: far left CNN has now been forced to admit that
8:50
Speaker 2: President Trump is actually winning the political debate against the
8:54
Speaker 2: Democrats and the fake media in the ongoing government shutdown battle.
8:59
Speaker 2: Fast full to today, and Trump's average approval rating during
9:03
Speaker 2: the shutdown is actually up by a point, as fewer
9:08
Speaker 2: than half those pulled forty eight percent blame him for
9:12
Speaker 2: the government shutdown. This is a massive win for Donald
9:17
Speaker 2: Trump in the White House.
9:18
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
9:19
Speaker 8: It turns out shutdowns are different the second time around
9:22
Speaker 8: when it comes to Donald Trump.
9:23
Speaker 4: Take a look here.
9:24
Speaker 8: You know, we speak about Donald Trump shutdowns not approval rating.
9:28
Speaker 4: We're talking twenty days into it.
9:29
Speaker 8: In twenty eighteen slash twenty nineteen, Donald Trump's not approp
9:32
Speaker 8: rating was already falling. The shutdown was eating and it
9:36
Speaker 8: was popular support. It was down three points already at
9:38
Speaker 8: this particular point and would fall considerably more.
9:41
Speaker 4: It was very much on the decline.
9:43
Speaker 8: You come over to this side of the screen, This
9:45
Speaker 8: shutdown hasn't eaten in the Donald Trump support at all.
9:47
Speaker 8: Isn't That approval rating is actually up a point and
9:51
Speaker 8: in terms of in terms of his popular support. So
9:54
Speaker 8: the bottom line is this the first shutdown during Trump's
9:57
Speaker 8: first term twenty eighteen twenty nineteen was hurting Donald Trump.
10:00
Speaker 4: This one is not hurting him at all. There's no
10:02
Speaker 4: real reason.
10:02
Speaker 8: Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to
10:04
Speaker 8: popular's report, I want to get out.
10:06
Speaker 4: Of the shutdown.
10:06
Speaker 8: What about the question of blame, Yeah, Okay, what about
10:09
Speaker 8: the question of blame. Okay, you see here, you see
10:11
Speaker 8: Donald trump'sun approv rating was down twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen.
10:14
Speaker 8: You talk about twenty twenty five as net approve rating
10:17
Speaker 8: is up. It comes down to the blame game, a
10:18
Speaker 8: game I love to play when I was younger. Blame
10:21
Speaker 8: Trump for the shutdown A great deal. In twenty eighteen
10:23
Speaker 8: slash twenty nineteen, sixty one percent, more than three and
10:26
Speaker 8: five Americans blame Trump a great deal for that particular shutdown.
10:30
Speaker 8: You come over to this side of the screen.
10:32
Speaker 4: Look at this. It's a different world. It's a different world.
10:35
Speaker 8: Forty eight percent of Americans blame Trump a great deal
10:37
Speaker 8: for this particular shutdown.
10:39
Speaker 4: So it's more than three and five.
10:40
Speaker 8: Back in twenty eighteen slash twenty nineteen, it's less than
10:43
Speaker 8: half a drop of thirteen points. Again, it's no real
10:46
Speaker 8: wonder that Donald Trump, at this point, looking at the shutdown, says,
10:49
Speaker 8: you know what, it's not actually harming me politically, in
10:52
Speaker 8: large part because he's getting less of the blame.
10:54
Speaker 6: And he's doing things differently during this shutdown.
10:58
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly right.
10:59
Speaker 8: You know, we talked about Donald Trump, and you say Okay,
11:02
Speaker 8: he wants to be a consequential, influential president. Well, if
11:05
Speaker 8: the legislative process has basically freezed up, you know on
11:08
Speaker 8: Capwell Hill, you may say, well, then he can't actually
11:10
Speaker 8: get legislation through. But that's not how Trump is governing
11:13
Speaker 8: in this term. We've spoken about this over and over
11:15
Speaker 8: and over again. He's using his pen, He's using executive orders.
11:19
Speaker 8: Trump executive orders. At this point of presidency in twenty seventeen,
11:22
Speaker 8: it was just fifty Look at this, already two hundred
11:26
Speaker 8: and ten executive orders signed by Donald Trump during this presidency.
11:30
Speaker 4: That is the most in a year.
11:31
Speaker 1: You have to go all the way back.
11:33
Speaker 8: Since Franklin Delan or Roosevelt to find a president who
11:36
Speaker 8: signed more executive orders in the year than Donald Trump
11:38
Speaker 8: has already signed this time around. And remember, John Burman,
11:41
Speaker 8: we still have two months to go in this year.
11:43
Speaker 8: So wouldn't be surprising to me if he signs even.
11:45
Speaker 7: Yes, HEA's to be saying, Congress, you don't want to
11:47
Speaker 7: do something, I'll do it, I'll do it.
11:50
Speaker 2: That is CNN talking right there, and they're clearly saying
11:54
Speaker 2: this shutdown is a different world for Trump than the
11:57
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen shutdown. He's in a much better spot. His
12:00
Speaker 2: net approval is up slightly during this shutdown versus dropping
12:03
Speaker 2: in eighteen and nineteen. And why because the percentage you
12:07
Speaker 2: blame him a great deal for the shutdown is down significantly,
12:12
Speaker 2: meaning that Donald Trump clearly is winning on the issue.
12:15
Speaker 1: Which brings me back to what I said a moment ago.
12:18
Speaker 2: I have no doubt that there is going to be
12:20
Speaker 2: a government reopening this week. That is my prediction based
12:25
Speaker 2: on what we're witnessing. It is another moment where you
12:29
Speaker 2: can say Donald Trump was right and the radical left
12:32
Speaker 2: was yet again wrong. This time the Ninth Circuit Court
12:36
Speaker 2: has ruled on Trump's National Guard deployment to Portland. That
12:40
Speaker 2: is a liberal Ninth Circuit court, and the three judge
12:44
Speaker 2: panel has now said yes, the President has the authority
12:49
Speaker 2: to do this. The Ninth US Circuit Court Appeals on
12:53
Speaker 2: Monday ruling the President Trump can deploy Oregon's National Guard
12:57
Speaker 2: troops the city of Portland, delivering a significant victory to
13:01
Speaker 2: the Trump administration after the left said Donald Trump was
13:05
Speaker 2: breaking the law and it would not continue to be
13:07
Speaker 2: able to do so, that he was going to lose
13:09
Speaker 2: the ability to actually go in and make America cities
13:12
Speaker 2: safe again. Well, the Trump administration is now on another
13:16
Speaker 2: massive victory, all because they're sending federal forces into democratic
13:21
Speaker 2: led cities despite a string of recent setbacks in other
13:25
Speaker 2: radical districts. And then the appeals courts happened and then
13:29
Speaker 2: bam yet again. Donald Trump is the president and the
13:33
Speaker 2: courts admit he has the right to do it. Judges
13:36
Speaker 2: on the three panel rule two to one to authorize
13:39
Speaker 2: Trump's deployment, Judge Ryan Nelson and Judge Bridget Bade, both
13:45
Speaker 2: of them sided with the administration in the majority ruling,
13:48
Speaker 2: with the loan Clinton appointed Judge Graber dissenting quote. After
13:54
Speaker 2: considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that
13:58
Speaker 2: it is likely that the President and lawfully exercised his
14:02
Speaker 2: statutory authority under ten USC Dash one two four h
14:08
Speaker 2: six Dash three, which authorizes the federalization of the National
14:13
Speaker 2: Guard when the President is unable with the regular forces
14:17
Speaker 2: to execute the laws of the United States. The majority
14:20
Speaker 2: opinion wrote, Now this is significant why because the move
14:25
Speaker 2: now becomes a political flashpoint as protesters opposing his key
14:30
Speaker 2: policies are clashing with law enforcement. In Portland is a
14:33
Speaker 2: great example. Chicago is another one, and part of this
14:37
Speaker 2: offico revolved around the No King's Day Now. Oregon officials
14:41
Speaker 2: and civil rights radical groups say the administration is exaggerating
14:46
Speaker 2: the threat of anarchy in these cities of lawlessness of
14:49
Speaker 2: the radicals in the left who defend a legal immigrant
14:53
Speaker 2: criminals more than they protect American citizens. They say that
14:58
Speaker 2: there is not really a threat. Donald Trump is saying, sorry,
15:02
Speaker 2: the data proves you are wrong, and we now need
15:06
Speaker 2: to come in to restore order now. After a federal
15:10
Speaker 2: judge in Oregon temporarily blocked Trump's attempt to deploy troops
15:14
Speaker 2: to Portland earlier this month, that is when the US
15:17
Speaker 2: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear the Trump
15:20
Speaker 2: administration's case. The lower court judge, by the way, had
15:23
Speaker 2: described Trump's actions in her emergency order as untethered to
15:29
Speaker 2: reality and one that she said, quote risks boring the
15:32
Speaker 2: line between civil and military federal power to the detriment
15:37
Speaker 2: of this nation.
15:39
Speaker 1: The appeals court.
15:40
Speaker 2: Said, yet, we're not buying into that liberal bs, and
15:43
Speaker 2: they quickly stayed the lower court's order, penning review.
15:46
Speaker 4: Now.
15:47
Speaker 2: The ruling also comes as Trump has sought to deploy
15:49
Speaker 2: hundreds of National Guard troops to democratic led cities, despite
15:54
Speaker 2: stated opposition from local and state leaders, specifically on the
15:58
Speaker 2: democratic side. Senior administration officials have argued that the deployment
16:04
Speaker 2: is a necessary step to crack down on what they
16:07
Speaker 2: say is an uptick in violent crime and protect against
16:11
Speaker 2: threats from protesters, including the anti ice demonstrations in many
16:15
Speaker 2: downtown areas, including Portland. Democrats have countered that Trump's descriptions
16:22
Speaker 2: are hyperbolic and quote inaccurate, and are merely a quote
16:26
Speaker 2: legal pretext for Trump to try to federalize, they claim
16:30
Speaker 2: democratic led cities, which is the complete opposite of what
16:33
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is clearly doing. And if you don't believe me,
16:36
Speaker 2: just look at what he has done in Washington, d c.
16:38
Speaker 2: Or look at what he's done in Memphis, Tennessee. Now,
16:42
Speaker 2: the left, don't worry. They continue to go radical. They've
16:45
Speaker 2: used news conferences to highlight declines they say in violent crime,
16:49
Speaker 2: and have argued in court that efforts to deploy federal
16:52
Speaker 2: troops exceeds Trump's authority as the literal commander in chief.
16:57
Speaker 2: You cannot make this up until the matter is a
17:00
Speaker 2: field the Supreme Court. The burden, by the way, remains
17:02
Speaker 2: on the lower courts to navigate the high profile and
17:05
Speaker 2: politically thorny flurry of cases that are all being brought
17:09
Speaker 2: by the left now. Another federal appeals court also weighed
17:13
Speaker 2: in on the dispute. On Saturday, the seventh US Circuit
17:18
Speaker 2: Court of Appeals in Chicago partially lifted a lower court
17:22
Speaker 2: order blocking Trump's federal deployment of National Guard troops there
17:26
Speaker 2: that the decision stopped short of authorizing their use, instead
17:30
Speaker 2: allowed them to remain at a US Army reserve base
17:33
Speaker 2: outside of the city in Oregon.
17:36
Speaker 1: By the way, the ninth.
17:38
Speaker 2: US Circuit Court of Appeals held about ninety minutes of
17:41
Speaker 2: arguments on the administration's appeal. The Trump administration officials argued
17:46
Speaker 2: the troops presence was necessary to quell mounting unrest and
17:50
Speaker 2: protests against future risk of violence. Judges on the three
17:55
Speaker 2: member panel appeared largely sympathetic to the Trump administration, especially
18:01
Speaker 2: those two that wrote the opinion saying, yes, it is
18:04
Speaker 2: time for Donald Trump to be able to do his
18:06
Speaker 2: job as president.
18:09
Speaker 1: It may well be.
18:10
Speaker 2: That the forces are used in an improper way, but
18:13
Speaker 2: we don't have evidence of that, is what Judge Ryan Nelson,
18:17
Speaker 2: a Trump appointee said during the oral arguments, Trump's decision
18:21
Speaker 2: to call up the military doesn't strike me as a
18:25
Speaker 2: glaring overuse on its face, the judge continued in his opinion.
18:30
Speaker 2: The panels of majority otherwise did little to disguise their
18:34
Speaker 2: skepticism of arguments presented by the organ Assistant Attorney General,
18:38
Speaker 2: including that Trump's assessment of violence in the city did
18:43
Speaker 2: not justify as federalizing the National Guard. Chaffin argued that
18:47
Speaker 2: the protests in Portland are a far cry from a
18:50
Speaker 2: definition of a rebellion, one of two conditions that Donald
18:55
Speaker 2: Trump needs to meet the legal pretexts for National Guard deployment,
18:59
Speaker 2: saying then yes quote rebellions are unusual and extreme emergencies,
19:04
Speaker 2: the Democrats said in their comments there As as an
19:08
Speaker 2: attorney general, she noted that the bulk of the complaints
19:12
Speaker 2: by local agents are focused on them being short staffed.
19:17
Speaker 2: Administrative or personal concerns, she said, are not a reason
19:21
Speaker 2: to bring the military into the streets of Portland or
19:25
Speaker 2: any other US city. Still, the court appeared poised aside
19:29
Speaker 2: with the Trump administration quote, I'm not sure even President
19:34
Speaker 2: Lincoln would have been able to authorize the use of
19:36
Speaker 2: force right now if his actions were to be scrutinized
19:40
Speaker 2: under the much more stringent reviewability standards implied by Oregon Here,
19:46
Speaker 2: Nelson noted shortly before court adjournment. Now, the Ninth Circuit
19:51
Speaker 2: is one of several appeals courts that have weighed Trump's
19:54
Speaker 2: plan to send National Guard troops to democratic led cities
19:57
Speaker 2: in recent weeks, which brings me to President Trump. He
20:02
Speaker 2: was asked on Air Force one heading back to DC
20:04
Speaker 2: on Sunday about the National Guard, specifically what it's done,
20:08
Speaker 2: for example in Washington, d C. And here's what the
20:11
Speaker 2: President had to say about the success of deploying the
20:14
Speaker 2: National Guard that San Francisco.
20:16
Speaker 9: Are there other cities you're actively looking out for the
20:18
Speaker 9: National Guard right now?
20:19
Speaker 10: Yeah?
20:20
Speaker 11: What about it? I'm just wondering if you care to
20:22
Speaker 11: comment on that.
20:24
Speaker 12: Well, we've used the National Guard to be very successful
20:26
Speaker 12: in Memphis. You can see the numbers are falling like rocks, Washington, DC,
20:32
Speaker 12: Chicago's getting better, even though we're going through a lot,
20:35
Speaker 12: and you know, we're trying to do it in a.
20:38
Speaker 10: Very nice way.
20:39
Speaker 12: I'm allowed, as you know, as president, like fifty percent
20:42
Speaker 12: of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act.
20:45
Speaker 10: They can use that, and everybody agrees.
20:47
Speaker 12: You're allowed to use that, and there's no more court cases,
20:49
Speaker 12: there's no more anything. We're trying to do it in
20:52
Speaker 12: a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection.
20:55
Speaker 10: Act if we want. You take a look in the past.
20:59
Speaker 12: I'm one in particular, president used it twenty eight times
21:03
Speaker 12: during the course of a presidency.
21:05
Speaker 10: So we're allowed to do that. We thought we could
21:07
Speaker 10: do it in a very nice way. All we want
21:09
Speaker 10: to do is have safe cities.
21:10
Speaker 12: We're not looking for anything that would be spectacular other
21:14
Speaker 12: than crime free become spectacular. We want to have great
21:18
Speaker 12: crime free cities, so I'd be allowed to use if
21:21
Speaker 12: I wanted the Insurrection Actor, then all of this nonsense
21:24
Speaker 12: would go away.
21:25
Speaker 10: You have the absolute right.
21:26
Speaker 12: It's the strongest power president has, and you have the
21:29
Speaker 12: absolute right to do it.
21:30
Speaker 10: We wanted to go this route, but we get sued.
21:33
Speaker 12: Every time you look at somebody, you look at somebody
21:36
Speaker 12: the wrong way, and you end up getting sued. We
21:38
Speaker 12: just want no crime. We want to have crime free cities.
21:41
Speaker 12: That's not a big I mean, it's pretty common sense,
21:44
Speaker 12: I think. But that's all I want is crime free cities.
21:47
Speaker 12: I campaigned on it. It's become I think, even more
21:52
Speaker 12: successful that we thought because of the tremendous success that.
21:54
Speaker 10: We had literally in twelve days in Washington, d C.
21:58
Speaker 12: And it continues. If Washington Dcent was so proud of it.
22:01
Speaker 12: People are eating in their restaurants, restaurants are opening. All
22:05
Speaker 12: the stores and restaurants were closing. You couldn't walk down
22:07
Speaker 12: the street without being mugged or worse. And now it's
22:10
Speaker 12: a safe city.
22:11
Speaker 10: I mean, it's considered a very safe city because we took.
22:14
Speaker 12: Seventeen hundred people out of there and brought them back
22:16
Speaker 12: to where they came from.
22:17
Speaker 2: Yet you see you're President Trump saying I'm going to
22:21
Speaker 2: keep doing this to make cities safe again. He said,
22:24
Speaker 2: we took seventeen one hundred people out of there referring
22:27
Speaker 2: to DC and brought them back to where they came from.
22:30
Speaker 2: That is exactly why he says the city is so
22:32
Speaker 2: much safer. The President clearly going forward with this and
22:35
Speaker 2: not backing down, and a federal court is now ruled
22:39
Speaker 2: in the present's favorite that he can deploy the National
22:42
Speaker 2: Guard to Portland and hopefully save that city as well.
22:46
Speaker 2: Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how
22:49
Speaker 2: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our
22:52
Speaker 2: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand,
22:56
Speaker 2: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just
22:59
Speaker 2: that for more than twelve years. The truth is there
23:03
Speaker 2: is only one provider that boldly stands in the gap
23:06
Speaker 2: for Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for, and
23:09
Speaker 2: that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading

Speaker 2: the red economy, they're also outpacing the competition and technology.

Speaker 2: nine seven to two Patriot, And make the switch and
24:31
Speaker 2: make a difference with every call you make.
24:33
Speaker 1: We've got a very big.
24:34
Speaker 2: Story coming out of the White House and is a
24:36
Speaker 2: promise that President Donald Trump made to every American if
24:40
Speaker 2: he was elected president. It was that he was going
24:43
Speaker 2: to do whatever he could to get rid of illegal
24:46
Speaker 2: immigrants in this country, and he was also going to
24:49
Speaker 2: get rid of the illegal immigrants first that had committed
24:52
Speaker 2: the most heinous crimes. He also promised he was going
24:56
Speaker 2: to make dangerous cities safe again.
24:59
Speaker 1: All this he is paying off on.
25:02
Speaker 2: But now we have some of the biggest data we've
25:04
Speaker 2: seen so far backing this up. The Department of Homeland
25:09
Speaker 2: Security has arrested more than four hundred and eighty thousand
25:15
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants in the first nine months of the Trump administration.
25:20
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you that number again, four hundred
25:23
Speaker 2: and eighty thousand illegal immigrants in a nine month span.
25:28
Speaker 2: This while many illegal immigrants have been hanging out in
25:31
Speaker 2: sanctuary cities being protected by the radical left. Now here's
25:35
Speaker 2: something else that you need to know. Seventy percent of
25:39
Speaker 2: the four hundred and eighty thousand legal immigrants had been
25:41
Speaker 2: arrested had been convicted of crimes or had criminal charges
25:48
Speaker 2: against them pending. Christy NOM made the announcement during a
25:52
Speaker 2: stop in Branden, Florida. As They also put out a
25:56
Speaker 2: press release giving you some of the backgrounds, saying, quote,
26:00
Speaker 2: President Trump unleashed ICE to target the worst of the
26:04
Speaker 2: worst criminal illegal aliens. Some of the criminals arrested included
26:09
Speaker 2: illegal aliens convicted of incests with a minor, homicide, sexual assault,
26:16
Speaker 2: sexual assault of a minor, and domestic violence. Seventy percent
26:21
Speaker 2: of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens convicted or charged
26:27
Speaker 2: with a crime in the US. This statistic doesn't even
26:30
Speaker 2: include they say, foreign fugitives, illegal aliens convicted of crimes
26:36
Speaker 2: in other countries, gang members, and also suspected terrorists. NOOM
26:43
Speaker 2: highlighted nine of the worst of the worst illegal immigrants
26:47
Speaker 2: who have been arrested in South and Central Florida alone.
26:51
Speaker 2: They included several different individuals. Nome set the press conference,
26:56
Speaker 2: we are not going to let these individuals terrorize our
26:59
Speaker 2: streets to anymore, and we're not going to let them
27:02
Speaker 2: make victims out of families that live in this country.
27:06
Speaker 2: I want you to hear directly from Christome at the
27:08
Speaker 2: press conference, and here's part of what she had to say.
27:12
Speaker 9: I'll give you some examples of individuals that were brought
27:14
Speaker 9: to justice here in Sarasota and in this area. The
27:17
Speaker 9: first one I'll talk about is a convicted murderer whose
27:20
Speaker 9: name is Eric Carlos Artilis Ramos.
27:23
Speaker 11: An illegal alien who was from Cuba.
27:25
Speaker 9: He had a prior removal order in two thousand and eight,
27:28
Speaker 9: and now because of the work of this office, he
27:30
Speaker 9: is off the streets. He was also previously convicted of
27:34
Speaker 9: kidnapping and carjacking. We also have another individual, Oscar Alfredo
27:39
Speaker 9: Retina Marquin, an illegal alien from El Salvador. He was
27:43
Speaker 9: convicted of sexual assault against a child and in nineteen
27:47
Speaker 9: ninety five, and he was also arrested for dui. He
27:51
Speaker 9: has been deported twice before, in nineteen ninety nine and
27:54
Speaker 9: in twenty nineteen. Re Entry after deportation, I'll remind all
27:59
Speaker 9: of you is a film. The next individual is Arturo
28:02
Speaker 9: Sanchez Morales.
28:03
Speaker 11: He's an illegal alien from Mexico.
28:06
Speaker 9: He was arrested for driving drunk and he's already been
28:08
Speaker 9: deported once before he re entered, which is a felony,
28:12
Speaker 9: and was issued a final order of removal.
28:14
Speaker 11: In twenty sixteen.
28:15
Speaker 9: He had previously been arrested for burglary as well for
28:19
Speaker 9: possession of cocaine and larceny, and has convictions for multiple
28:22
Speaker 9: DUIs and lude acts against a minor. And again I'll
28:27
Speaker 9: talk about Leylis Rinaldo Benaro Zahn, who is an individual
28:33
Speaker 9: from Honduras who's been in this country illegally and he
28:36
Speaker 9: has a conviction for domestic battery. He'd been deported twice before,
28:40
Speaker 9: in twenty eleven and in twenty seventeen. These individuals are
28:45
Speaker 9: just a handful of people that have been in this
28:48
Speaker 9: country creating victims out of American citizens that now those
28:52
Speaker 9: families do no longer have to worry about. Not only
28:55
Speaker 9: have they been brought into and incarcerated, but they're going
28:58
Speaker 9: to be brought to justice and paid for the crimes
29:00
Speaker 9: that they've committed. Every single day, our law enforcement officers
29:04
Speaker 9: put their lives at risk to protect the American people.
29:07
Speaker 9: Every single day, they get up and they go do
29:09
Speaker 9: their jobs to make sure that American families can live
29:12
Speaker 9: the lives that they've dreamed of since.
29:14
Speaker 11: They were young.
29:15
Speaker 9: The LEFS anti cop rhetoric has led to one thousand
29:19
Speaker 9: percent increase in violence against our law enforcement officers. We
29:23
Speaker 9: have to stop the rhetoric that is allowing individuals the
29:27
Speaker 9: cover that they want to perpetuate violence against those who
29:30
Speaker 9: enforce our laws. Last month, we had an individual open
29:34
Speaker 9: fire at an ICE facility and we also saw that
29:38
Speaker 9: we saw victims from that attack that happened not just
29:41
Speaker 9: against ICE agents, but also about detainees.
29:44
Speaker 11: That were there at that facility.
29:46
Speaker 9: That individual, when he fired upon the building, created some victims.
29:51
Speaker 9: We lost two lives there. Three individuals were hurt and
29:55
Speaker 9: two died later on. After that event, the suspect had
29:59
Speaker 9: anti ICE written on the ammunition and on his bullet casings,
30:04
Speaker 9: proving that he had targeted against individuals that we're working
30:08
Speaker 9: to keep our streets safe. Criminals are now even placing
30:11
Speaker 9: bounties on our law enforcement officers.
30:14
Speaker 11: This last month, the Department of Homeland.
30:16
Speaker 9: Security arrested a criminal illegal alien and a Latin King's
30:20
Speaker 9: gang member who placed a bounty on our US Border
30:23
Speaker 9: Patrol Chief Greg Bevino. Still they keep pressing on, and
30:28
Speaker 9: we've seen as well, individuals on TikTok and other apps
30:33
Speaker 9: making threats against our law enforcement officers, putting bounties out
30:36
Speaker 9: on their head, and we will bring all of those
30:38
Speaker 9: individuals to justice. We will continue to bring murderers and rapists,
30:42
Speaker 9: those who perpetuate violence, pedophiles, gang members in our communities.
30:47
Speaker 9: We will go after them, bring them to justice, and
30:49
Speaker 9: we will save lives.
30:51
Speaker 11: The American people.
30:51
Speaker 9: See this, and they see that President Trump is focused
30:54
Speaker 9: on making sure that our streets are safe and that
30:57
Speaker 9: our families have opportunities to raise their children safe communities.
31:01
Speaker 9: In fact, recent polls have shown that fifty four percent
31:04
Speaker 9: of Americans want illegals to be brought into justice, and
31:09
Speaker 9: they want to deport those who are in this country illegally,
31:12
Speaker 9: But seventy eight percent of Americans want these criminal illegal
31:16
Speaker 9: aliens brought to justice. That's because the American people understand
31:20
Speaker 9: the benefits of having law and order.
31:22
Speaker 1: Again, this isn't just a win for Donald Trump.
31:26
Speaker 2: This is a win for every man and woman in
31:28
Speaker 2: this country, especially men and women that have been victims
31:32
Speaker 2: of countless crimes by illegal immigrants, which also brings us
31:36
Speaker 2: back to what the President's doing now. The Ninth Circuit
31:40
Speaker 2: saying that President Trump can send the National Guard to
31:42
Speaker 2: Portland is another massive win for law and order. And
31:48
Speaker 2: if you think that the Left is going to sit
31:51
Speaker 2: down and just say, Okay, fine, the President's going to
31:54
Speaker 2: be able to be the president and he has the
31:56
Speaker 2: authority to do this and he was elected to do it,
31:59
Speaker 2: you're wrong. MSNBC having a total meltdown as Lisa Rubin
32:03
Speaker 2: had to read the Ninth Circuit decision authorizing Trump to
32:07
Speaker 2: deploy the National Guard in Portland. Take a listen to
32:10
Speaker 2: how they spun it on MSNBC.
32:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, And I want to just correct one thing and
32:14
Speaker 13: then explain why functional kay, it is the same. This
32:16
Speaker 13: is a stay of Judge Immigrant's opinion, and that's why
32:20
Speaker 13: it reached the Ninth Circuit as soon as it did,
32:22
Speaker 13: because this is an emergency motion to essentially pause her order.
32:26
Speaker 13: But as a functional matter, you are absolutely correct, it
32:29
Speaker 13: has the function of overturning her order and thereby allowing
32:34
Speaker 13: the President to send the National Guard back onto the
32:37
Speaker 13: streets of Portland. And Katy, I want to read if
32:39
Speaker 13: I can, just from a little bit of the beginning
32:41
Speaker 13: of this ninety three page opinion, it says, after considering
32:45
Speaker 13: the record, and by the record they mean all the
32:46
Speaker 13: factual evidence at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it
32:50
Speaker 13: is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority
32:55
Speaker 13: under ten USC. Section twelve four oh six. That's the
32:58
Speaker 13: statute we've been referring to has Title ten when we
33:01
Speaker 13: have conversations about the National Guard deployments, which authorizes the
33:04
Speaker 13: federalization of the National Guard when the President is unable
33:08
Speaker 13: with the regular forces to execute the laws of the
33:11
Speaker 13: United States. And this is the important part. The evidence
33:13
Speaker 13: the President relied on reflects quote, a colorable assessment of
33:17
Speaker 13: the facts in law within a range of honest judgment.
33:21
Speaker 13: We thus conclude that defendants are likely to succeed on
33:25
Speaker 13: the merits of their appeal, basically saying that when and
33:28
Speaker 13: if a court considers all of the record in this
33:31
Speaker 13: matter is tried and it gets back to an appellate court,
33:34
Speaker 13: through an ordinary process where they have full briefing and
33:37
Speaker 13: full evidence that they still think Donald Trump is likely
33:40
Speaker 13: to prevail there because he has the discretion to determine
33:45
Speaker 13: as the president within a range of honest judgment. So
33:48
Speaker 13: when it is reasonable to what you and I were
33:50
Speaker 13: talking about last.
33:51
Speaker 2: Week, it is very clear the left realizes now they're
33:55
Speaker 2: running out of ways to stop President Trump from doing
33:58
Speaker 2: his job, a job that he was a elected by
34:00
Speaker 2: the American people to do, and they're going to do
34:04
Speaker 2: everything they can to continue to try to stop him.
34:07
Speaker 2: But as we witness what is happening now in Portland
34:09
Speaker 2: and the total number of arrest nationwide in the last
34:13
Speaker 2: nine months, and law and order that is also being
34:16
Speaker 2: restored to incredibly violent cities like Portland, Washington, d C. Memphis, Tennessee,
34:24
Speaker 2: and many more to come, including Chicago. What you're witnessing
34:28
Speaker 2: as a president that is doing exactly what he promised
34:31
Speaker 2: he was going to do, keep all Americans safe, no
34:35
Speaker 2: matter where you live,
