Evil Showed Up — True American Heroes Shut It Down plus Voters Back Deportations · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:02
Speaker 1: In just the last several days, the United States has
0:04
Speaker 1: seen multiple terrorist attacks or acts of terror, targeting Americans
0:10
Speaker 1: in classrooms, in houses of worship, and public spaces. But
0:15
Speaker 1: in the middle of that evil, there have been heroes
0:18
Speaker 1: that have emerged and their actions have likely saved the
0:22
Speaker 1: lives of dozens and dozens of other Americans that would
0:27
Speaker 1: have been killed otherwise. Let's start with the Virginia terror attack,
0:32
Speaker 1: the most shocking attack happening at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
0:37
Speaker 1: Authority say the suspect was Mohammed, a former member of
0:41
Speaker 1: the Virginia National Guard and the most important part of
0:45
Speaker 1: the story, a convicted supporter of ISIS who had previously
0:49
Speaker 1: served time in federal prison for trying to assist the
0:53
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. On the morning of March twelfth, Muhammad walked
0:58
Speaker 1: into a classroom holding on campus and began asking a
1:02
Speaker 1: chilling question, is this the ROTC class? Moments later, he
1:08
Speaker 1: opened fire. Witnesses say the gunman shouted a la acbar
1:13
Speaker 1: as he began shooting. One person was killed, a respected
1:17
Speaker 1: retired military officer and ROTC leader, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shaw.
1:24
Speaker 1: Two ROTC cadets were also shot. And wounded as well.
1:29
Speaker 1: For a moment, it looked like the beginning of a
1:31
Speaker 1: mass couzie terrorist attack on a college campus. But that's
1:35
Speaker 1: when something incredible happened. The hero who stopped him stepped
1:39
Speaker 1: up several ROTC cadets, young Americans training to serve their country.
1:46
Speaker 1: They refused to run. Instead, they ran towards the gunfire.
1:51
Speaker 1: The students tackled and subdued the attacker, killing him before
1:55
Speaker 1: he could continue the shooting. Law enforcement officials say their
1:59
Speaker 1: actions prevented far greater carnage. This is how the FBI
2:04
Speaker 1: described it when they were asked about this shooting earlier.
2:08
Speaker 2: There were students that were in that room that subdued
2:11
Speaker 2: him and rendered him no longer alive.
2:16
Speaker 3: I don't know's to say it, but they basically agreeable
2:19
Speaker 3: to terminate the threat for.
2:21
Speaker 4: He was not shot.
2:22
Speaker 2: He was not shot.
2:23
Speaker 1: He shot three people, correct.
2:26
Speaker 2: We have information that he shot three people.
2:28
Speaker 1: I want you to think about that for just a moment.
2:31
Speaker 1: These were not active duty soldiers. They were students, young
2:36
Speaker 1: men and women, sitting in a classroom who in a
2:39
Speaker 1: split second, made the decision to risk their own lives
2:43
Speaker 1: to save the lives of others and not only did
2:46
Speaker 1: they do it, they succeeded, the FBI confirming the attack
2:51
Speaker 1: is being investigated as an act of terrorism tied to
2:54
Speaker 1: ISIS support as well. But the story doesn't end there,
2:58
Speaker 1: because on the very stale day, another attack unfolded hundreds
3:02
Speaker 1: of miles away, this time at a Michigan synagogue in
3:07
Speaker 1: West Bloomfield, Michigan. An attacker targeted Temple Israel, one of
3:12
Speaker 1: the largest synagogues in the entire United States of America.
3:16
Speaker 1: The suspect drove a vehicle directly into the building before
3:20
Speaker 1: opening fire. Inside the synagogue complex at the time were
3:25
Speaker 1: more than a one hundred and forty children attending the
3:29
Speaker 1: facility's preschool program. Let that sink in. This individual wanted
3:34
Speaker 1: to kill children, more than one hundred of them. Now
3:38
Speaker 1: at the attacker had gotten inside that building fully armed,
3:41
Speaker 1: the outcome could have been catastrophic, But again heroes, they
3:47
Speaker 1: stepped in. Security personnel at the synagogue confronted the attacker
3:52
Speaker 1: immediately and neutralized the threat. The suspect was killed before
3:56
Speaker 1: he could reach the children. Officials late confirmed that the
4:01
Speaker 1: security guard struck by the vehicle was injured but survived. Meanwhile,
4:07
Speaker 1: firefighters in law enforcement rushed to contain a fire that
4:10
Speaker 1: broke out at the scene as well. Over thirty first
4:14
Speaker 1: responders were treated for smoke inhlation during that response. But
4:18
Speaker 1: the most important detail again, every single child was safely
4:23
Speaker 1: evacuated because of the heroes. The pattern authorities are watching
4:29
Speaker 1: is very real now there is a bigger concern, as
4:32
Speaker 1: investigators say these attacks come amid rising tensions globally and
4:37
Speaker 1: an increase in extremist threats inside the United States. Also
4:41
Speaker 1: known as sleeper cells. Unlike organized terra cells, these individuals
4:47
Speaker 1: can radicalize also online and act alone with little warning,
4:52
Speaker 1: and that appears to be exactly what is happening here now.
4:55
Speaker 1: The FBI's response has been very clear. The FBI quickly
5:00
Speaker 1: und terrorism investigations into these attacks. In the Virginia case,
5:04
Speaker 1: FBI officials confirmed they are treating the university shooting as
5:08
Speaker 1: a terrorism case that is linked to prior extremist activity
5:13
Speaker 1: by that suspect. Here is more of what the FBI
5:16
Speaker 1: had to say about the Old Dominion shooting.
5:20
Speaker 2: FBI is now the lead investigative agency investigating this as
5:24
Speaker 2: an act of terrorism. The shooter has been identified as
5:29
Speaker 2: Mohammed Baylor Jalo. In twenty sixteen, Jallo was arrested and
5:36
Speaker 2: pled guilty for attempting to provide material support to Isle
5:41
Speaker 2: now known as ISIS.
5:43
Speaker 1: This was an individual that had already been involved in
5:46
Speaker 1: terrorist activities and had gone to prison for it. The
5:50
Speaker 1: FBI director Cash Pattel, saying it clearly FBI personnel or
5:54
Speaker 1: providing assistance and working with local authorities. Responding to the
5:58
Speaker 1: shooting at Old Dominion University, he said, we will obviously
6:01
Speaker 1: keep you updated on exactly what is going to happen
6:04
Speaker 1: moving forward. Now, agents we also now have been told
6:08
Speaker 1: to reviewing the government's communications, digital devices and contacts determined
6:13
Speaker 1: whether he acted alone or had outside influence. Meanwhile, the
6:18
Speaker 1: FBI is also investigating the synagogue attack, in coordinating with
6:21
Speaker 1: local law enforcement across the country to increase security around
6:26
Speaker 1: religious institutions as well as public gatherings. We actually know
6:32
Speaker 1: more now about that synagogue. In fact, they had just done,
6:36
Speaker 1: as they described it, dry runs on this exact location
6:41
Speaker 1: training for this being a real possibility. I want you
6:45
Speaker 1: to hear what they had to say about that active
6:48
Speaker 1: shooting training that took place recently at Temple Israel. Take
6:53
Speaker 1: a listen and is that.
6:55
Speaker 3: We have just learned that the FBI Detroit held an
6:58
Speaker 3: active training drill situation. I should say, yeah, okay, a drill,
7:05
Speaker 3: a training drill just six months ago at this temple. Oh,
7:10
Speaker 3: six weeks ago. Okay, six weeks ago. They held an
7:13
Speaker 3: active shooter training session or drill six weeks ago at
7:17
Speaker 3: this temple.
7:18
Speaker 1: Federal authorities are also warning now local police nationwide to
7:23
Speaker 1: remain vigilant amid global tensions that could inspire additional attacks.
7:28
Speaker 1: And then we come to Donald Trump and the White
7:31
Speaker 1: House's response to all of this. The White House issued
7:34
Speaker 1: a statement condemning the attacks and praising the Americans who
7:38
Speaker 1: stopped them. President Donald Trump called the ROTC Cadets true
7:42
Speaker 1: American heroes who acted with extraordinary bravery. The administration also
7:48
Speaker 1: expressed condolences to the family of Lieutenant Colonel Shaw, honoring
7:53
Speaker 1: his decades at military service. Officials emphasize that the United
7:57
Speaker 1: States will continue to pursue terrorists both over and domestically.
8:02
Speaker 1: The message from the administration is clear, America will not
8:07
Speaker 1: be intimidated by terrorists or terrorism. Other leaders are also
8:12
Speaker 1: speaking out. Senior officials across the Trump administration responding, including
8:16
Speaker 1: the Attorney General's Office, pledging to pursue anyone connected to
8:21
Speaker 1: these attacks with a full force of federal law. State
8:24
Speaker 1: leaders echoed the same message, saying law enforcement agencies nationwide
8:29
Speaker 1: are now increasing security around universities, religious institutions, and large
8:34
Speaker 1: public events. The bigger takeaway is this there are two
8:39
Speaker 1: big stories. The first is about terror, radicalies extremists attempting
8:44
Speaker 1: to bring violence into American communities. And the second story
8:48
Speaker 1: is the one that deserves just as much attention, and
8:51
Speaker 1: that one is about courage and the heroes involved. The
8:55
Speaker 1: ROTC cadets who stopped at terrorists with their bare hands,
8:59
Speaker 1: taking out literally killing him, they are heroes that should
9:03
Speaker 1: be honored, in my opinion, at the White House. The
9:06
Speaker 1: security guards who confront a gumman before he could reach
9:09
Speaker 1: children at the synagogue are also the other heroes that
9:13
Speaker 1: I believe should also become heroes in a way that
9:16
Speaker 1: America can see them in some sort of ceremony at
9:20
Speaker 1: the White House as well. And then the first responders
9:23
Speaker 1: who rushed into a burning building to protect those children
9:26
Speaker 1: and others. These are the people who remind us what
9:30
Speaker 1: America looks like when evil shows up, and they prove
9:33
Speaker 1: time and time again that sometimes terras well, they may hit,
9:38
Speaker 1: but we always remember who is the real threat and
9:42
Speaker 1: who we're trying to help. The President of the United States
9:44
Speaker 1: of America making it very clear he will not back
9:48
Speaker 1: down and America will not be intimidated by these terrasts.
9:52
Speaker 1: What we will do is hunt them down and take
9:54
Speaker 1: them out wherever they are in the world. There is
9:58
Speaker 1: a very interest pole that just came out and nobody
10:02
Speaker 1: is talking about it. Now. We have seen what happened
10:06
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with ice. We've seen ice going into cities,
10:10
Speaker 1: and then the Trump administration uh trying to change course
10:13
Speaker 1: a little bit on it because the PR battle, Democrats
10:17
Speaker 1: were losing their minds. The paid protesters were coming in.
10:20
Speaker 1: You had a couple people that were shot by ICE agents,
10:23
Speaker 1: and then that turned into a thing. And then you
10:25
Speaker 1: saw where they literally said in Minnesota, right, we're gonna
10:29
Speaker 1: change course a little bit. Here, We're gonna put Tom
10:32
Speaker 1: Home in there to be in charge. We're gonna pull
10:34
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Some people thought that was admitting defeat.
10:37
Speaker 1: I think it was actually a smart PR move and
10:40
Speaker 1: Democrats felt like that blood in the water and they
10:43
Speaker 1: were rallying against you know, this is in humane treatment
10:46
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants, even though we were taking out some
10:48
Speaker 1: seriously bad home brakes. So Democrats were hoping going into
10:53
Speaker 1: the elections this week, the primaries, and certainly into the
10:56
Speaker 1: midterms coming up in the next you know, not that
10:58
Speaker 1: long away. What do we not months from now? What
11:01
Speaker 1: you were going to have less than that. What you
11:03
Speaker 1: were going to have is the immigration issue, which I
11:08
Speaker 1: would argue an exit poll showed was one of the
11:10
Speaker 1: main reasons why Donald Trump was reelected. People wanted there
11:12
Speaker 1: to be a secure border, they wanted law and order,
11:14
Speaker 1: and they thought there was way too many legal immigrants
11:16
Speaker 1: in this country who were taking away American jobs and
11:19
Speaker 1: raising the prices of rent and housing and a lot
11:21
Speaker 1: of things like that. Democrats were hoping to flip that issue.
11:25
Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting, even after all of the political hit
11:29
Speaker 1: jobs the media did in Minnesota, all the political hit
11:32
Speaker 1: jobs the Democrats are done on ICE, the defunding of
11:35
Speaker 1: ICE as they try to do with DHS defunding and
11:37
Speaker 1: the shutdown that we're dealing with right now, and what
11:40
Speaker 1: we've witnessed for them, it's not working. How do we
11:43
Speaker 1: know that, Well, this is the poll that every one
11:47
Speaker 1: of you should be sharing. Americans are steadfast on saying
11:52
Speaker 1: that not only do they want a secure border, but
11:55
Speaker 1: they also want all illegal immigrants who are in this
11:59
Speaker 1: country sent home. How do we know this not a liberal,
12:03
Speaker 1: not a conservative poll, but a very liberal poll. Now,
12:06
Speaker 1: these polls usually skew overwhelmingly to the Democratic side of things.
12:09
Speaker 1: These the polls are about to give you the tell
12:10
Speaker 1: you that Hillary Clinton was going to win the presidency,
12:13
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was going to lose to Joe Biden
12:16
Speaker 1: and then to Kama Harris. Okay, a Harvard Harris poll. Okay, Harvard,
12:21
Speaker 1: do you understand I'm going to say it again because
12:23
Speaker 1: it's just so beautiful Harvard. So put a little asterisk
12:27
Speaker 1: by that and then think to yourself, what is the
12:29
Speaker 1: real number here? Their number says that fifty seven percent
12:33
Speaker 1: of Americans want all illegal immigrants sent home. Fifty seven
12:41
Speaker 1: percent of Americans want all legal immigrants at home. That
12:45
Speaker 1: is a Harvard poll that includes fifty four percent of
12:49
Speaker 1: political independence, seventy nine percent of Republicans, and actually thirty
12:55
Speaker 1: five percent of Democrats. So this is an issue that
12:59
Speaker 1: Democrats did understand within their own party. Thirty five percent.
13:03
Speaker 1: You can say, well, that's low, that's not in the
13:05
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. It's not that's actually really high. It's shockingly high,
13:08
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that thirty five percent of Democrats, all right,
13:12
Speaker 1: not independence Democrats say, even as a Democrat, as someone
13:17
Speaker 1: that's a registered Democrat, I want not some all illegal
13:22
Speaker 1: immigrants in this country sent home. This poll was also
13:25
Speaker 1: done recently, all right. It was done between February the
13:28
Speaker 1: twenty sixth and the twenty eight It was also a
13:31
Speaker 1: larger poll about two thousand registered voters by the Harris
13:35
Speaker 1: Poll and Harris X in conjunction with Harvard. The majority
13:39
Speaker 1: support for mass deportations is also notable because it remains
13:44
Speaker 1: strong amid massive resistance to gration politicians, the Democratic establishment,
13:51
Speaker 1: the establishment media, and various pop culture influencers have all
13:56
Speaker 1: come together to go and fight on this. As I
13:59
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Now, this poll also showed sixty three percent
14:04
Speaker 1: support for a draft law. All right, and this is
14:08
Speaker 1: where it gets really interesting. Sixty four percent support a
14:11
Speaker 1: draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver's
14:15
Speaker 1: licenses to illegal immigrants. What does that mean? It means
14:21
Speaker 1: that the American people overwhelmingly are in favor of having
14:25
Speaker 1: a law that says, if you were a legal immigrant,
14:27
Speaker 1: you can't get a driver's license and then go on
14:30
Speaker 1: the roads and kill people, especially when you don't know English.
14:34
Speaker 1: We've seen those stories. Now Democrats are hoping that those
14:37
Speaker 1: stories didn't hit Okay, they were hoping that those stories
14:41
Speaker 1: would fail. They were hoping that those stories would be
14:44
Speaker 1: a disaster for Republicans and somehow not for Democrats. Well,
14:50
Speaker 1: guess what, this is exactly what I thought was going
14:55
Speaker 1: to happen. This is the Democratic Party yet again, and
14:59
Speaker 1: the media yet again lying to the American people on
15:04
Speaker 1: this issue flat out one hundred percent line. Now forty
15:09
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats also, by the way, and I think
15:12
Speaker 1: this is actually a really high number for Democrats. Forty
15:15
Speaker 1: percent Democrats favor this as well. So on two different issues.
15:19
Speaker 1: On immigration, Democrats and a higher number than I expected,
15:23
Speaker 1: forty percent Democrats say you shouldn't be able to get
15:25
Speaker 1: a commercial driver's license a CDL if you are an
15:30
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant. Now, the majority support also for deportations coexists
15:35
Speaker 1: with swing voters dislike of the tough police tactics required
15:39
Speaker 1: to find and deport migrants amid fierce opposition from pro
15:46
Speaker 1: migration activists. Let me translate that for you. The majority
15:50
Speaker 1: of Americans say that law enforcement should work with ICE
15:55
Speaker 1: so that they don't have to go out and round
15:58
Speaker 1: up some of these bad own braids because local authorities
16:01
Speaker 1: refuse to give you know, like go along with ICE detainers. Now,
16:05
Speaker 1: what is an ICE detainer? If you don't know this,
16:07
Speaker 1: I'll explain it to you very quickly. If local law
16:09
Speaker 1: enforcement arrests an individual and they find out they'ren illegal immigrant,
16:13
Speaker 1: they find out that they there's a detainer for them,
16:15
Speaker 1: a request for ICE, like, hey, don't let this guy
16:17
Speaker 1: back out on the streets. We want to come get
16:19
Speaker 1: him because he also has X, Y and Z against
16:21
Speaker 1: him when he comes to being an illegal immigrant. That
16:24
Speaker 1: is what an ICE detainer does in a simplistic way.
16:27
Speaker 1: Sanctuary cities and states do not notify ICE when they
16:31
Speaker 1: have an illegal immigrant in custy that they know that
16:35
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement is looking for. That's a problem. So
16:38
Speaker 1: the majority of Americans also believe that those laws should
16:45
Speaker 1: be honored and that sanctuary cities are wrong for doing
16:49
Speaker 1: what they're doing. For example, the poll shows that fifty
16:53
Speaker 1: five percent oppose hiring an additional twenty thousand border patrol
16:58
Speaker 1: and ICE agents to conduct immigration raids and policing within
17:02
Speaker 1: different parts of the country. Why, because they believe that
17:05
Speaker 1: law enforcement locally should actually be doing that job. The
17:09
Speaker 1: Department of Home in Security and the Department of Justice
17:11
Speaker 1: have had to take many steps to quietly deport immigrants
17:15
Speaker 1: or without the drama needed by Democrats as well as
17:18
Speaker 1: the media. For example, the DHS is stepping up paperwork
17:22
Speaker 1: checks of businesses to see if they are hiring migrants.
17:25
Speaker 1: The Washington Post even report on March second that at
17:28
Speaker 1: least one hundred migrants were recently fired from a restaurant
17:32
Speaker 1: in DC after DHS officials reviewed the hiring records of
17:37
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty restaurants. The first batch of DHS
17:41
Speaker 1: letters went out on February the twelve. They probably won't
17:43
Speaker 1: be the last, by the way, this is something that
17:47
Speaker 1: DHS is now doing. Saying, quote, I think everybody is
17:50
Speaker 1: going to get one eventually, is what one of the
17:53
Speaker 1: DC restaurants said in response to these letters. I think
17:56
Speaker 1: it's a rare It's a rare restaurant that doesn't have
17:59
Speaker 1: a single person on their roster with questionable documentation. One
18:03
Speaker 1: restaurant had to fire twenty nine illegal immigrant workers. So
18:07
Speaker 1: these employers know they're hiring illegals, they're doing it anyway.
18:11
Speaker 1: When they get caught, then they fire them because they
18:14
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the with the aftermath. Right
18:18
Speaker 1: on February, for example, twenty fourth, eleven days after receiving
18:22
Speaker 1: receiving the letter, the co owners of a restaurant said
18:27
Speaker 1: they tally their losses at twenty nine employees. That was
18:29
Speaker 1: line cooks, they said, prep cookes, bartender, servers, managers, and
18:33
Speaker 1: they send a messages to say they would no longer
18:35
Speaker 1: be working at his well regarded restaurant because of all
18:40
Speaker 1: of these issues that we're talking about here. Now, Democrats
18:43
Speaker 1: are saying this is going to destroy the industry, and
18:46
Speaker 1: then if you get rid of illegal immigrant workers, then
18:49
Speaker 1: prices are going to skyrocket, businesses are going to close,
18:53
Speaker 1: and no one's going to want to do these jobs.
18:56
Speaker 1: That's not true. That's also part of the lie. And
18:59
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that we've seen that now. I
19:02
Speaker 1: think what Americans are clearly saying in this poll, including Democrats.
19:09
Speaker 1: All right, like a majority of Democrats, I want to
19:12
Speaker 1: be clear about that, but a lot more than I
19:14
Speaker 1: thought was going to say. This is what democrats are
19:17
Speaker 1: doing and what Democrats are saying now is they're like, yeah,
19:20
Speaker 1: we really want to have American citizens be first. We
19:24
Speaker 1: want American citizens to be put first. We want Americans
19:30
Speaker 1: to be able to have affordable health care. We want
19:33
Speaker 1: Americans to be able to have affordable insurance. We want
19:37
Speaker 1: Americans to be able to have affordable housing, whether that's
19:40
Speaker 1: renting or buying. Right, these are all things that have
19:43
Speaker 1: been affected by legal immigrant labor. And so I look
19:48
Speaker 1: at this poll number and what it tells me is
19:51
Speaker 1: the president needs to understand that there is a clear
19:54
Speaker 1: mandate by the president of the United States of America
19:58
Speaker 1: to continue doing what he ran on, which was not
20:01
Speaker 1: only to secure the border number one, okay, but number two,
20:06
Speaker 1: it was to clean up our cities with illegal immigrant
20:09
Speaker 1: criminals and those that are in this country illegally. That
20:13
Speaker 1: is what everybody really needs to understand. When Donald Trump
20:19
Speaker 1: ran for office again, he made a very clear promise
20:22
Speaker 1: to the American people, secure the border and remove the
20:25
Speaker 1: most dangerous criminals who entered this country illegally. Now, let's
20:30
Speaker 1: be clear, this is a story right now that matters
20:33
Speaker 1: when it comes to national security. We all know about
20:36
Speaker 1: the real concerns over sleeper cells, terraces that came in
20:40
Speaker 1: across our southern border that have been activated because of
20:44
Speaker 1: what we are doing in Iran and in the Middle
20:47
Speaker 1: East in general. That is the reason why this story
20:51
Speaker 1: of immigration is now coming back to be a much
20:54
Speaker 1: bigger story than just people running across the border from
20:57
Speaker 1: Latin American countries. There are many people that came across
21:01
Speaker 1: our southern border that was wide open under the Biden
21:03
Speaker 1: administration who were in fact on the Terraffts watch list.
21:08
Speaker 1: How do we know that because our own government, including
21:12
Speaker 1: during the time that Joe Biden was present, said it
21:15
Speaker 1: was actually happening more than any of us could have imagined,
21:18
Speaker 1: that men and women were coming across the southern border
21:21
Speaker 1: and many of them were on the Terraces watch list. Now,
21:25
Speaker 1: when Trump ran for office, he said, I promise to
21:29
Speaker 1: the American people, I will secure that border. And not
21:31
Speaker 1: only has he done it, but he's done it in
21:34
Speaker 1: the way that many Americans say was a very humane
21:37
Speaker 1: way of doing it. Now, he didn't just talk about
21:40
Speaker 1: securing the border as many others have done the past.
21:43
Speaker 1: He literally did it. And now that promise is being
21:46
Speaker 1: backed up with hard numbers. According to the Immigration and
21:50
Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security enforcement operations
21:56
Speaker 1: surged almost immediately after President Trump took office. Again, in
22:00
Speaker 1: the first fifty days alone, we now know that federal
22:03
Speaker 1: agents arrested more than thirty two thousand illegal immigrants in
22:08
Speaker 1: nationwide enforcement operations. Let me repeat that, thirty two thousand
22:12
Speaker 1: arrests in just the first fifty days. And here's the
22:15
Speaker 1: part that the media won't talk about at all. Nearly
22:19
Speaker 1: seventy percent of those arrests already had criminal convictions or
22:24
Speaker 1: were facing criminal charges. These weren't random people being picked up.
22:29
Speaker 1: These were criminals, many of them violent, and some of
22:32
Speaker 1: them on the terrorists watch list. Now, out of those arrests,
22:36
Speaker 1: we also have learned now that more than fourteen thousand
22:39
Speaker 1: of them were illegal immigrants already convicted of crimes not
22:44
Speaker 1: in other countries, but crimes in the United States of America.
22:49
Speaker 1: Another ten thousand were facing pending criminal charges, not in
22:53
Speaker 1: other countries, but in the United States of America. And
22:57
Speaker 1: then when you dig deeper into these numbers that we
22:59
Speaker 1: now are seeing, it gets even more shocking. Federal agents
23:04
Speaker 1: were now being told arrested one thousand, one hundred and
23:09
Speaker 1: fifty five suspected gang members. In the first fifty days,
23:13
Speaker 1: forty four foreign fugitives wanted in other countries, twenty nine
23:17
Speaker 1: individuals flagged as suspected terris. Yes, I'm going to give
23:22
Speaker 1: you that number again. In the first fifty days that
23:27
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was back in office, twenty nine individuals were
23:32
Speaker 1: flagged as suspected terrorists. That is what the Democrats led
23:38
Speaker 1: into this country with open borders, and they knew it.
23:41
Speaker 1: Now the story gets even more disturbing when you look
23:43
Speaker 1: specifically at crimes against children, because one of the top
23:48
Speaker 1: priorities of these operations under Trump's leadership have been tracking
23:52
Speaker 1: down illegal immigrants who are accused or convicted of sexual
23:57
Speaker 1: crimes involving minors. For example, in just the Houston, Texas
24:04
Speaker 1: region alone, ICE report arresting two hundred and fourteen illegal
24:09
Speaker 1: immigrants charged with or convicted of child sex crimes in
24:13
Speaker 1: the first six months of the Trump administration. That is
24:18
Speaker 1: two hundred and fourteen child predators in one single region,
24:24
Speaker 1: and officials say the number has already surpassed the total
24:27
Speaker 1: arrests of those crimes during the entire previous year when
24:32
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was in charge. Now, these cases included crimes
24:35
Speaker 1: like sexual assault of a child, child molestation, sexual exportation
24:41
Speaker 1: of minors, possession of child pornography. And now we've gotten
24:46
Speaker 1: the newest numbers to add to that base. We now
24:50
Speaker 1: know from ICE that four hundred and fourteen illegal alien
24:55
Speaker 1: child sex offenders were arrested in the Houston area of
25:00
Speaker 1: during President Trump's first year in office. Why is the
25:04
Speaker 1: media not telling you this story. This isn't nationwide, This
25:08
Speaker 1: is in one city. The headline from the local paper
25:11
Speaker 1: reads this way, more than four hundred criminal legal aliens
25:15
Speaker 1: have been charged with or convicted of child sex crimes
25:19
Speaker 1: have been arrested in Houston, Texas, and official stated parents
25:23
Speaker 1: can sleep a little bit better knowing those individuals are
25:26
Speaker 1: no longer a threat to their family. Now, these are
25:29
Speaker 1: the same people the Democrats want you to feel sorry for.
25:32
Speaker 1: ICE announced on Monday that the enforcement and removal operations
25:37
Speaker 1: in Houston not only netted the one hundred and no
25:39
Speaker 1: weight I'm sorry, the four hundred and fourteen illegals during
25:43
Speaker 1: President Trump's first year back in office, but officials said
25:46
Speaker 1: the number almost doubled that of predators arrested during the
25:50
Speaker 1: final year of Joe Biden's administration. As a group, the
25:55
Speaker 1: arrested criminal legal aliens accounted for seven hundred and six
26:00
Speaker 1: twenty one child sex offenses and five hundred and twenty
26:05
Speaker 1: five other criminal offenses ranging from homicide to robbery. The
26:10
Speaker 1: announcement states ICE then listed some of the arrestees who
26:14
Speaker 1: came from countries such as Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia,
26:19
Speaker 1: and the United Kingdom. Now, these are the crimes that
26:22
Speaker 1: have been committed, and some of them are absolutely heinous.
26:27
Speaker 1: Illegal aliens have been accused of or convicted of committing
26:30
Speaker 1: crimes against children in the United States of America at
26:33
Speaker 1: extremely young ages. One report in January was that an
26:38
Speaker 1: illegal alien was accused of raping a fourteen year old
26:41
Speaker 1: girl with autism in the sanctuary state of California. For example,
26:45
Speaker 1: the following month, in illegal alien fugitive was charged with
26:48
Speaker 1: possession of child sexual abuse material commonly known as child pornography.
26:54
Speaker 1: In another case, Texas Highway Patrolled troopers on horseback tracked
26:58
Speaker 1: and arrested in illegal alien on a remote border ranch
27:02
Speaker 1: in Maverick County on New Year's Day. The troopers closed
27:06
Speaker 1: it on their target just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas,
27:09
Speaker 1: shortly before Noon. Troopers identified the man as a previously
27:13
Speaker 1: deported illegal alien, a convicted sex offender with multiple convictions
27:18
Speaker 1: for child related sexual crimes. ICE is also arrested one thousand,
27:24
Speaker 1: five hundred and five illegal aliens in November, including gang members,
27:28
Speaker 1: child rapists, and foreign fugitives, The Outlet also reported, and
27:32
Speaker 1: there's also yes more on the terrace watch lists now
27:36
Speaker 1: regarding the four hundred and fourteen illegal aliens convicted of
27:40
Speaker 1: or charged with child sex crimes who were caught in
27:43
Speaker 1: Houston alone, ICE Enforcement Removal Operations acting field directors said
27:48
Speaker 1: this while elected officials and media pundits across the country
27:52
Speaker 1: were zealously trying to manipulate the American public with fake
27:56
Speaker 1: news stories about ICE public safety missions, the brave men
28:00
Speaker 1: and women of ICE were quietly going about their business
28:04
Speaker 1: to arrest and remove more than four hundred dangerous child
28:07
Speaker 1: predators from our local community in Houston. Thanks to their
28:11
Speaker 1: tireless efforts, parents across Southeast Texas can sleep a little
28:15
Speaker 1: bit better tonight knowing that these pedophiles and child rapists
28:19
Speaker 1: are no longer a threat to their children, Which brings
28:22
Speaker 1: us back to the big part of the conversation. Why
28:25
Speaker 1: is the media not covering this, And why is it
28:30
Speaker 1: that the media, which is now obsessed with sleeper cells
28:33
Speaker 1: in the country, even new warnings of possible attacks in California,
28:36
Speaker 1: for example, by these sleeper cells. Why are they not
28:40
Speaker 1: telling you about how many people on the terrace watch
28:43
Speaker 1: lists have been caught, how many of them came across
28:45
Speaker 1: the border that we know are in this country illegally,
28:49
Speaker 1: and that the Biden administration knew for a fact that
28:52
Speaker 1: the open border policy was allowing for terrorists to come
28:57
Speaker 1: into America. Many of them may be in the sleeper
28:59
Speaker 1: cell that so many are now concerned about. This is
29:03
Speaker 1: exactly why I wanted to spend the time talking to
29:06
Speaker 1: you about it right now. Not only is the border
29:09
Speaker 1: a national security issue, but it's also a national security issue,
29:13
Speaker 1: not just from a terrorism perspective, but from a child
29:16
Speaker 1: safety perspective. There are so many people that came across
29:21
Speaker 1: our border, and the former administration and the Democratic Party
29:25
Speaker 1: knew that there were really bad people that were coming across,
29:29
Speaker 1: and they deliberately chose to allow those people across while
29:34
Speaker 1: flooding this country with tens of millions of illegal immigrants.
29:38
Speaker 1: Why did they do it? Because they want to fundamentally
29:40
Speaker 1: change this country. They want to change the fabric of
29:43
Speaker 1: this country, the values of this country, just like we
29:46
Speaker 1: are witnessing right now in Europe and other nations around
29:50
Speaker 1: the world. That is the plan of the Democratic Party. Now,
29:54
Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America has one
29:56
Speaker 1: thing that is really working to his advantage. CNN polling
30:01
Speaker 1: that is out right now that says today the Dems
30:05
Speaker 1: are pulling worse on immigration than they did during Trump's
30:10
Speaker 1: first term in office. Which party do you trust more
30:15
Speaker 1: on immigration? Take a listen to this from CNN's own reporting.
30:19
Speaker 4: I think is so important to note, after all the
30:21
Speaker 4: events in Los Angeles, after all the events in Minneapolis,
30:24
Speaker 4: after all the events of the last year on immigration,
30:27
Speaker 4: can Democrats actually take advantage on this issue? And a
30:31
Speaker 4: look at the polling suggests actually, no, They're in a
30:33
Speaker 4: worse position, in a worse position than they were at
30:36
Speaker 4: this point during Donald Trump's first term. Take a look here,
30:39
Speaker 4: trust which party more on immigration? In twenty eighteen, Democrats
30:42
Speaker 4: had an edge of about six points. You come over
30:44
Speaker 4: to this side of the screen.
30:45
Speaker 1: Now look at that.
30:46
Speaker 4: Republicans are the ones who have actually have an edge
30:49
Speaker 4: on immigration. So this whole idea that Democrats are going
30:52
Speaker 4: to be able to take advantage of the immigration group
30:56
Speaker 4: of the immigration issue actually doesn't bear itself out in
31:00
Speaker 4: the polling, despite everything that's been going on. In fact,
31:02
Speaker 4: Democrats are in worse position than they were during Donald
31:05
Speaker 4: Trump's first term. Yeah, maybe they don't like what Donald
31:07
Speaker 4: Trump the president is doing, but they don't think Democrats
31:10
Speaker 4: will do.
31:10
Speaker 1: A better job. Correct.
31:11
Speaker 4: They think Democrats will do a worse job on immigration
31:13
Speaker 4: than Republican.
31:14
Speaker 3: All right, what about border security in general?
31:16
Speaker 4: Okay, border security in general? So this is immigration at large?
31:19
Speaker 4: What about border security? Look at this? Look at these numbers. Hello,
31:22
Speaker 4: party trusted more on border security again at this point
31:25
Speaker 4: Trump's terms.
31:26
Speaker 1: Look at this.
31:26
Speaker 4: In twenty eighteen, Republicans at a thirteen point advantage. If anything,
31:30
Speaker 4: the advantage is a little bit larger now, Republicans up
31:32
Speaker 4: by fifteen points. So when you put it all together,
31:35
Speaker 4: you put immigration with border security and the idea that
31:38
Speaker 4: Democrats will be able to take the ball and run
31:39
Speaker 4: away on it, the polling data suggests no, no, no,
31:43
Speaker 4: this is actually an issue that Republicans should be more
31:46
Speaker 4: comfortable running on than Democrats. Democrats ruing on immigration may
31:49
Speaker 4: actually be to the Republicans advantage.
31:51
Speaker 1: What about so you listen to CNNs and reporting now
31:55
Speaker 1: and now you realize that the Dems are pulling worse
31:58
Speaker 1: on immigration than they did during trump first term. Why
32:02
Speaker 1: is that because of this? Nationwide immigration officials say roughly
32:07
Speaker 1: seventy percent of all ICE arrests now involve illegal immigrants
32:12
Speaker 1: who have already committed crimes in the United States of America.
32:16
Speaker 1: That means the focus of these operations is very clear.
32:20
Speaker 1: They are literally removing the most dangerous offenders first. I mean,
32:24
Speaker 1: you look at the broader enforcement picture under President Trump,
32:27
Speaker 1: the scale of the crackdown becomes even clear. Federal authorities
32:31
Speaker 1: say immigration enforcement teams are now targeting violent offenders, gang members, terrorists,
32:37
Speaker 1: repeat border crossers, human traffickers, sex traffickers, and child predators,
32:43
Speaker 1: all part of what the DHS calls a strategy to
32:46
Speaker 1: remove the worst of the worst. So even as Democrats
32:49
Speaker 1: claim that the Republicans and Trump and law enforcement just
32:53
Speaker 1: rounding up random sweet people, that is a lie. More
32:57
Speaker 1: than seventy percent of ICE arrests now involve illegal immigrants
33:02
Speaker 1: who have already committed crimes in the United States of America.
33:07
Speaker 1: President Trump campaigned on restoring law and order at the border, and,
33:12
Speaker 1: according to federal law enforcement statistics, tens of thousands of
33:16
Speaker 1: arrests later, including hundreds of predators targeting children and people
33:21
Speaker 1: on the terrace watch lists. The Trump administration says, make
