• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. It's nice to have you with us
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: on the forty seven Morning Update. We've got one major
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: story coming out of the White House, and that is this.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: More than one hundred and seventy sinelo At cartel members
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: have been arrested, not at the southern border, but in
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: New England with countless fetnyl pills that could kill tens
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: of thousands of Americans. How did this happen? And how
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: big is the network? Apparently the Cineloa cartel is massive,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: especially in democratic run cities and states. The President is
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: now cracking down on it big time. But before I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: get to that, I want to talk to you about
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: my friends at kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I got my new order of silver. Now I'm investing
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: in silver right now because the pricing on it is
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: amazing and the upside well, it's real. I actually have
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a one hundred ounce silver bar. It is actually really cool.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces. But I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: also know that I bought it at the right price
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote. Rare
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: are special coins, and then when you go to sell them,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you take away all of your earning potential. Why do
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: they do it this way at Kurt Elliott Because they
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: have transparent pricing up front. It's very simple. You pay
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: eight percent when you buy, and here's what matters to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you the most, nothing when you sell. There are no
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: hidden fees ever with Kurt Elliott Precious Metals. This is
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the reason why I recommend them. It's not just about investing,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: it's about making sure you get more for your money.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: And that is exactly why Kurt Elliott helps people all
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the time. Whether it's gold or silver, you can hold it,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: be a good steward of it, you can pass it

  Speaker 3: on to future generations, and you can build wealth with it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It's real, bullyon, never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver.

• 3:16
  Speaker 3: dot com slash Ben. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and it starts right now.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: There is a big debate that is happening in this country,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and the debate is do you want law and order
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: or do you want anarchy and chaos. The Democratic Party
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: has made it clear they're on the side of the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: criminal everywhere they can find them in this country, including
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. They also want you to believe that cities
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: are actually really safe when they are not. So the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: question you have to ask is who are the American
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: people putting their trust in. Well, CNN had a very
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: interesting poll that just came out, and guess what it showed.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Americans are overwhelmingly preferring President Donald Trump's approach to crime
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: fighting over what they had with Joe Biden.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think this sort of gives the game away
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: here because Donald Trump is like Air Jordan, towering over
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden when it comes to their handling a crime.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Look in twenty twenty four, look at where Biden's net
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: approver was on crime, way on the water there at
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: minus twenty six points. It was one of Biden's whar issues. Granted,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: pretty much every issue is one of Biden's wharre isshues.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And again, look at where Donald Trump is way, way,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: way above Joe Biden.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: That's twenty seven points. So Americans vastly prefer Donald Trump's
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: approach to crime than they ditch to Joe Biden's. And again,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I think it gets back to the point that Americans
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: are far more hawkish on crime than a lot of
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Democrats want to admit.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I love how they refer to Donald Trump as Michael Jordan.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: He is just killing it when it comes to fighting crime,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and the American people are behind him. But if you
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: look at what the Democrats are doing right now, they're
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: doing everything they can to keep those that commit times
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in this country. Mains Democratic Secretary of State is now
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: admitting non citizen residents are registered to vote in her state.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Blatant disregard for the law is how it is being
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: described by GOP lawmakers in Maine after the Democrats, Yes,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: all right, fine, we admit it. Non citizens are registered
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to vote and are voting in our state. Which brings
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: us to another big story. There is a myth that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: there's only major cartel activity at our southern border border
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: states and it's not really anywhere else. That is what
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the media has been saying, and that's what Democrats have
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: been saying, and they also want you to believe that's,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: you know, not that bad. Well, if you want to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: know how big the network is a criminal activity, look
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: at the newest data that's just come out. One hundred
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and seventy one cartel members have been arrested in New England.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: That's pretty darn far from the southern border. The Drug
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Enforcement Administration you know them as the DA in New
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: England say that they arrested more than one hundred and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: seventy members of the Cineloa drug cartel during a recent
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: crackdown operation. The arrests led to the seizure of more
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: than twenty two thousand counterfeit pills, fetnyl powder, and packaging
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: branded with the Cineloa cartel logo. The DEA Special Agent
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: in charge for the New England Field Division said to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: twenty five News in Boston that the Cineloa cartel is
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: public Enemy number one in England. The DA agent also
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: told the local news outlet that during a week long
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: nationwide crackdown, one hundred and seventy one cartel members were
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: arrested in New England area alone, a number they say
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is truly shocking. Why are you not hearing about this
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: story on the national news. That is the question that
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: everyone should be asking, And there's a very good answer
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to it, because if they tell you that the cartels
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: are controlling New England, then you realize it's not actually
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: a border issue anymore. I want you to take a
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: listen to the local news and what they said to
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: their citizens about just how bad the cartel movement is
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: in Boston and the surrounding area.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration says a week long cartel
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: crackdown led to nearly two hundred arrests just in New England.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The DEA says they were all members of the Sineloa cartel,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the largest drug cartel in the world. Twenty five investigates
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: went one on one with the DEA special Agent in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: charge about their recent operation. He says the vast Siniloa
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: network has deep roots in New England.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: There are public Enemy number one.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Jared Fourge, the Special Agent in charge of DEA's New
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: England Field Division, says last week the DEA set out
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to arrest as many members of the Mexico based Sinaloa
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: cartel as possible. New England saw the highest number of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: regional arrests at one seventy one, with forty nine in Massachusetts,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: thirty three in New Hampshire. Connecticut saw the most at
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sixty four. Do you think people would be surprised to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: learn how many members of that cartel are operating, probably
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in plain sight, in their communities.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Sure so. Sineloa cartel in every single state across America,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: more than forty countries around the world, and obviously they're
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: at every state throughout New England.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: What's their number one product they push? Is it the pills?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: So we see fetanol powder, and we see counterfeit pills,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: pills that are made to look like legitimate pills, notably
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: M thirty s M.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Thirty pills or counterfeit oxy codone. But Forget says they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: also increasingly seeing counterfeit stimulant pills made to look like adderall.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Bourge showed us some of the more than twenty two
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: thousand pills and other drug sees during the operation, like
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: signature purple fentanel and some drug packaging, even displaying the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Sineloa cartel stamp.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: I'm a DEA agent. I cannot tell the difference between
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: a fake one and a real one. So we need
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: to remind parents, schools, caregivers, everybody in the community have
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: those conversations with each other.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Have them with your kids, Forge says. The cartel targets
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: unsuspecting young people online through common social media apps. Many
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: have no idea they're buying potentially deadly counterfeit pills. One
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one arrests throughout New England. Does that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: make a dent.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Where the dea We're not going after low level retail
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: drug traffickers. We are going after drug trafficking organizations, the networks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: How do you disrupt that something that is so large,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: so vast, and seemingly so powerful.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Right, it's an ongoing battle, one that we cannot we
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: can't afford to give up. Right, it's the Cinelo cartel
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: is a threat to public safety, our public health, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: our national security as a country.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: This year, the Centers for Disease Control reported, while drug
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: overdose deaths are declining, overdose is the leading cause of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: death for young people ages eighteen to forty five.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: You notice one of the really important things that was
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: said there by the DEA. They said the cartels are everywhere.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Not only did he say that, but he said, I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a DEA agent. I cannot tell the difference between an
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: actual pill and a counterfeit pill that can take your
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: life with fetanol. He also talked about the other warning
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: about stimulants. Many kids will use riddling and adderall and
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: actually use it because they're trying to study things like
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: that in college. Every year turned deadly when they buy
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: what they think is an actual prescription pill and in
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: reality it is from the cartel. They don't care if
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you die. They just need you to buy the product
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: and move it quickly, which brings us back to the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: other basic issue. There are two different sides of this story.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Now you're either on the side of holding those accountable
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: that are doing this and going after them. The presidents
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: made it clear that's what he's doing, and now the
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: American people are saying very clearly that what they want
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: is for Donald Trump to continue doing this. There are
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: other states they're doing everything they can to say, we're
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: not going to get involved. We're not going to give
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: in to President Trump wanting law and order. We are
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: going to fight you at every step of the way.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: One example of that is Adam Schiff on if the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: drop in DC crime after the Fed serge should be celebrated.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You know what his response was, I can't analyze DC's numbers,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: but guard in LA was bad. Yes, So even when
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: the numbers drop the Democratic Party he refuses to admit
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: it's an actual good thing for the country.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: All right. So trumple me as referred to himself as
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: the chief law enforcement officer of the country right as
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: opposed to commander in chief right, a nuance that matters.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: But he says Senator. As you know, he says this
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: is about combating crime, and he says it's working in Washington,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: d C. Where, of course you are tonight. So when
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: you look at the numbers there though, this is according
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: to Washington, d C's official database last week. I know
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you're familiar with these numbers, but here they are. If
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: forty four percent decrease in violent crime in the three
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: weeks since the federal surge, right compared to the same
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: period a year ago, that includes a forty four percent
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: drop in homicides compared at the same time last year.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: So I mean, if that is the outcome of what
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: he's doing, is that something to actually celebrate.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think I can analyze what DC's crime
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: numbers were, but I can't say this about Los Angeles
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: and the deployment of troops there. First of all, it
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: was completely unnecessary.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Notice the massive jump there. He doesn't want to talk
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: about what worked in Washington, D C. Because he knows
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the city where he's speaking from is safer now that
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: it's been in years. So he decides to go to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: La instead. Adam shift an individual who sang, I would
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: rather hate on Donald Trump than protect American citizens, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: when asked a simple question about, hey, the data shows
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: it's working, he refuses to even accept it and moves on,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: which is all encompassing of the Democratic Party, which brings
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: us back to my original point. There are two sides
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to this story, and the American people seem to be
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: overwhelmingly on the side of what Donald Trump is doing
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to fight crime Coast to coast.
