Trump vows to Clean Chi Town as Leadership supports Crime & Illegal Criminals · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be amazing if Democrats actually were willing to
0:03
Speaker 1: fight criminals in Chicago with the same type of anger
0:08
Speaker 1: and vigor they're using towards Donald Trump and law enforcement. Well,
0:13
Speaker 1: the only tough talk you're getting right now out of
0:15
Speaker 1: Chicago officials is threats of lawsuits against Donald Trump. That's right.
0:22
Speaker 1: Illinois Governor J. D. Pritzker and the Chicago mayor Johnson
0:27
Speaker 1: have teamed up and are not backing down. Is they
0:30
Speaker 1: say they are angered by the idea of preparations for
0:34
Speaker 1: what they describe as an illegal immigrant roundup that is
0:37
Speaker 1: illegal by the Trump administration in the Windy City now.
0:42
Speaker 1: According to an internal federal memo obtained by CBS News,
0:46
Speaker 1: the Department of Home Insecurity has asked the Department of
0:49
Speaker 1: Defense to house roughly two hundred and fifty federal agents
0:53
Speaker 1: and one hundred and forty vehicles at an Illinois military
0:56
Speaker 1: base and anticipation of an expected in in illegal alien
1:01
Speaker 1: arrests within the Chicago area. CBS News exploding on this,
1:07
Speaker 1: saying in a request for the assistance to the Department
1:11
Speaker 1: of Defense, a top Homeland Security official indicated that the
1:14
Speaker 1: Naval Station Great Lakes, the largest military base in Illinois,
1:18
Speaker 1: and the Navy's largest training station would be used as
1:21
Speaker 1: a staging area to oversee the removal operations in the
1:26
Speaker 1: metropolitan Chicago area targeting immigrants suspected of being in the
1:30
Speaker 1: US illegally. Now, the President of the United States of America,
1:34
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, was asked about this, and I want you
1:37
Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say to a reporter
1:39
Speaker 1: that was trying to badger him as he was leaving
1:42
Speaker 1: for Marine one.
1:45
Speaker 2: Market State News.
1:46
Speaker 3: Did you say that, Jo, just stake news.
1:48
Speaker 4: Don't listen, be quiet, listen.
1:51
Speaker 5: You don't listen.
1:52
Speaker 6: You're never listening.
1:53
Speaker 4: That's why you're second grade. We're not going to war.
1:57
Speaker 4: We're going to clean up our city.
1:59
Speaker 3: We're going to clean them up so they don't kill
2:00
Speaker 3: five people every weekend.
2:02
Speaker 4: That's not war. That's common sense.
2:05
Speaker 1: I love the last statement there by President Trump. We're
2:09
Speaker 1: going to clean it up so they don't kill five
2:12
Speaker 1: people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense. Tom
2:17
Speaker 1: Homan also asked about this on CNN Stay of the Union,
2:21
Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say about it as well.
2:24
Speaker 6: Joining us now to discuss is the president's borders are
2:27
Speaker 6: Tom Homan, mister Homan. Always good to have you. So
2:30
Speaker 6: the governor of Illinois responded to President Trump's post. He wrote, quote,
2:33
Speaker 6: the President of the United States is threatening to go
2:35
Speaker 6: to war with an American city. This is not a joke,
2:38
Speaker 6: This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strong man,
2:41
Speaker 6: He's a scared man. Illinois won't be intimidated by a
2:44
Speaker 6: wanna be dictator. Unquote is President Trump planning to go
2:47
Speaker 6: to war in Chicago.
2:49
Speaker 5: We're going to war with illegal aliens, public safety threats
2:52
Speaker 5: that rape children, that raped citizens, that committed armed robberies,
2:57
Speaker 5: that the distributing narcotics kill Americans. We're at war with
3:01
Speaker 5: the criminal cartels. And Governor Prisco protects criminal, illegal alien,
3:06
Speaker 5: public safety threats every day in that state. Along with
3:08
Speaker 5: Mary Johnson, we proved that the first week of the administration,
3:12
Speaker 5: I went to Chicago. I started an operation there. The
3:15
Speaker 5: first day, we arrested nine sexual predators, most of them
3:19
Speaker 5: child rapists. We arrested nine members of TDA. Several of
3:23
Speaker 5: the TDA members had a pistol, an illegal pistol with
3:26
Speaker 5: a switch on it which makes that pistol fully automatic.
3:29
Speaker 5: We arrested two illegal aliens that a homicide conviction. That
3:33
Speaker 5: was the first day in Chicago. So, you know, President
3:35
Speaker 5: Trump and this administration, Yeah, we're at war with the
3:37
Speaker 5: criminal cartels and those who want to murder and rape
3:41
Speaker 5: the American citizens. You' damn right.
3:43
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing how the media decides to spend this
3:46
Speaker 1: story that somehow Donald Trump is going to go to
3:50
Speaker 1: war with a American city. No, We're going to war
3:54
Speaker 1: with the criminal legal aliens every day, no matter where
3:57
Speaker 1: they are. And that is the Trump doctor. Now, of
4:01
Speaker 1: course Sinnan didn't like this doctrine, right. They don't like
4:04
Speaker 1: the fact that this administration is fighting back against criminals.
4:10
Speaker 1: They want to act like somehow Donald Trump is a
4:13
Speaker 1: dictator and a tyrant. And so Jake Tapper does what
4:16
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper does. He decides to, you know, be an
4:19
Speaker 1: elitist in grand stand with Tom Homan, and that's where
4:22
Speaker 1: he decided to say, well, hold on a second, you
4:24
Speaker 1: guys have been flooding the zone in Chicago, and is
4:28
Speaker 1: that really the job of the government.
4:30
Speaker 5: The problem marriage which are sanctuary cities.
4:32
Speaker 6: Governor Pritzker says Illinois has not received any notification about
4:36
Speaker 6: any enforcement action from the White House. Will you be
4:39
Speaker 6: coordinating with them about an operation of the size in Chicago.
4:43
Speaker 5: Governor Prisker has been not five day one again. I
4:46
Speaker 5: went there and started an operation right after the inauguration.
4:50
Speaker 5: ICE agents have been flooding the zone in Chicago for
4:53
Speaker 5: a while now, so he's aware of what's going on.
4:56
Speaker 5: I mean, he knows we've been there. We were there
4:58
Speaker 5: last week where they're the week now. You know again
5:01
Speaker 5: we're going to send the additional resources to all sanctuary cities.
5:04
Speaker 5: But this isn't new to him. He knows we've been there,
5:06
Speaker 5: and he's failed to work with us. The Mary Johnson
5:08
Speaker 5: has failed to work with us again to this day.
5:11
Speaker 5: A significant public safety threat gets locked into a jail
5:15
Speaker 5: in Illinois, in Chicago, CUK County Jail, one of the
5:19
Speaker 5: most target rich environments for criminal illegal aliens. They and
5:22
Speaker 5: we drop our detainers, say hey, this guy's that illegally
5:24
Speaker 5: the United States. You have custody. When you're dumbling them,
5:27
Speaker 5: call us and we'll come and get them. Let us
5:29
Speaker 5: deal with our enforcing our law. And they simply ignore
5:32
Speaker 5: it and release into the streets. And what happens then
5:34
Speaker 5: when you release a public safety threat back into the public,
5:37
Speaker 5: it makes a community unsafe. It makes us unsafe for
5:40
Speaker 5: our agents had to go into the community and try
5:41
Speaker 5: to find somebody now in history who has access to
5:44
Speaker 5: who knows what weapons. It makes unsafe for the illegal
5:46
Speaker 5: aliens because anything can happen on the street. Arrest give
5:49
Speaker 5: us the public safety threat, and the safety and security
5:52
Speaker 5: of a county jail makes it safer for everybody.
5:55
Speaker 1: You listen to the reality that they refuse even the
5:59
Speaker 1: world first illegal immigrant criminal where there is an ICE
6:03
Speaker 1: detainer and they say to law enforcement, tell us when
6:05
Speaker 1: you're done with them, and we'll come pick them up.
6:08
Speaker 1: And what do they say in Illinois, We will not
6:10
Speaker 1: notify you, we will not work with you. We are
6:13
Speaker 1: going to release these rapists, these murderers, these cartel members,
6:17
Speaker 1: these drug dealers back into our streets to terrorize our
6:21
Speaker 1: citizens because we care more about hating Trump than we
6:26
Speaker 1: do about keeping people safe. Which brings us back to
6:29
Speaker 1: the governor. Governor Pritzker saying this about Donald Trump's plan
6:34
Speaker 1: to bring in more resources into Chicago.
6:38
Speaker 3: By the way, the homicide rate in Chicago has now
6:41
Speaker 3: been cut in half over the last four years because
6:44
Speaker 3: of the investments that we've made on the ground. It's
6:46
Speaker 3: not just in police. I have invested significantly in police,
6:50
Speaker 3: but we've also made massive investments in community violence intervention.
6:54
Speaker 3: Those programs are working. We're doing more than any other
6:57
Speaker 3: state in that regard, and it's working on the streets
7:00
Speaker 3: of Chicago. He doesn't read anything, he doesn't really understand anything.
7:04
Speaker 3: He just has some idea in his head that Chicago
7:07
Speaker 3: is bad. He's always had that. By the way, I
7:09
Speaker 3: also think I live rent free in the guy's head.
7:12
Speaker 3: So he's constantly thinking about, you know, how do I
7:14
Speaker 3: attack Chicago? And oh yeah, I hate that Pritzker guy too.
7:19
Speaker 1: There it is very clear it's all about the politics
7:22
Speaker 1: with the governor. He wants to attack Donald Trump. He
7:26
Speaker 1: doesn't want to work with law enforcement. He doesn't want
7:30
Speaker 1: to allow for anyone to be safe in his cities,
7:34
Speaker 1: and lying over and over again. There's a mother of
7:38
Speaker 1: a murdered girl, a Chicago resident, who decided to go
7:41
Speaker 1: on Fox and Friends. And here's what she had to
7:44
Speaker 1: say about how she is terrified and others are terrified
7:48
Speaker 1: to even walk the streets, and she lost her own
7:52
Speaker 1: child to this type of horrific violence in Chicago.
7:57
Speaker 7: This is a mother of a girl murdered in Chicago
8:00
Speaker 7: who says she wants President Trump to come in and
8:02
Speaker 7: fix the city.
8:04
Speaker 8: I would like the governors to ask for help because
8:08
Speaker 8: the thing that's in place right now, it's not working.
8:11
Speaker 8: We're scared to sit in our cars, We're scared to
8:14
Speaker 8: have our kids walking to school.
8:17
Speaker 7: I mean, we have residents like you on every single
8:20
Speaker 7: day who're saying we want the governor to ask for help,
8:24
Speaker 7: we want the federal government to step in. So what
8:27
Speaker 7: more is it going to take.
8:30
Speaker 2: I think it's going to take one of their own
8:31
Speaker 2: to actually suffer through, you know, some of the things
8:34
Speaker 2: that we go through in Chicago. I actually challenged JB. Prisker,
8:37
Speaker 2: Brandon Johnson to actually walk the same streets that I
8:40
Speaker 2: walk here in Chicago, I mean, without the police detail,
8:44
Speaker 2: without the suits, of course, and we'll see if they
8:47
Speaker 2: have that same opinion. When it comes to JB. Prisker
8:49
Speaker 2: saying that Chicago is safe, I feel like a lot
8:52
Speaker 2: of this is just virtue signaling. When it comes to JB. Prisker,
8:56
Speaker 2: he thinks he's living rent free in Donald Trump's head
8:58
Speaker 2: that I honestly think the other way around. And when
9:02
Speaker 2: it comes to Brandon Johnson and all of the race
9:04
Speaker 2: baiting and things like that. He tends to think that
9:07
Speaker 2: police are races because you know, majority of police officer
9:11
Speaker 2: happens to be white Caucasian males. But you know, he
9:14
Speaker 2: fails to tell the people that there were over thirty
9:17
Speaker 2: two hundred black slave owners in America and they own
9:20
Speaker 2: over twelve thousand slaves. So we can play the color game,
9:24
Speaker 2: but that's not going to help the issue when it
9:27
Speaker 2: comes to safety in Chicago.
9:29
Speaker 7: Well, we know you know the city well, and for
9:31
Speaker 7: those of us who have known that city for a
9:33
Speaker 7: long time, it is just not what it once was.
9:35
Speaker 7: It's changed significantly, and it's rough for so many families
9:39
Speaker 7: that can't leave and that have to continue to live
9:42
Speaker 7: there for work and otherwise. So appreciate you coming on.
9:45
Speaker 1: You listen to these residents, not one, but two there
9:49
Speaker 1: telling their stories talking about how bad it is. Do
9:52
Speaker 1: you notice the governor and the mayor are not listening
9:54
Speaker 1: to them at all? And this is exactly why Donald
9:58
Speaker 1: Trump right now is so popular because he's actually doing
10:01
Speaker 1: what he said he was going to do. He's not
10:04
Speaker 1: going to sit back and watch people get killed. He's
10:09
Speaker 1: not going to sit back and say I'm sorry, but
10:12
Speaker 1: because you're in that city, you're not going to be safe.
10:16
Speaker 1: And this is why I think there are so many
10:19
Speaker 1: Americans right now that like this present more than they
10:21
Speaker 1: did in his first administration.
10:23
Speaker 4: He's doing it differently.
10:27
Speaker 1: It is a story that has just not gotten enough press.
10:30
Speaker 1: It is a story of the Biden administration knowing that
10:33
Speaker 1: they were losing children that they were entrusted to protect
10:37
Speaker 1: in the US, giving them to people that were not
10:40
Speaker 1: related to them, and then knowing when they went to
10:43
Speaker 1: go find them that they had disappeared. The reality is
10:47
Speaker 1: they knew exactly what was happening to those children. They
10:50
Speaker 1: were being trafficked, they were put into sex slavery, and
10:54
Speaker 1: many of them were going to turn up dead. But
10:57
Speaker 1: the Biden administration turned the other way, and for one
11:00
Speaker 1: simple reason, because if they admitted the disaster, they'd have
11:04
Speaker 1: to shut down the wide open southern border. Tom Homan
11:08
Speaker 1: came out last week and said, we have, thank goodness,
11:12
Speaker 1: located about twenty three thousand of the hundreds of thousands
11:17
Speaker 1: that were lost under the Biden administration.
11:20
Speaker 5: Out of the three hundred thousand children, I looked at
11:23
Speaker 5: the numbers just yesterday, we located over twenty three thousand
11:27
Speaker 5: of them, So twenty three thousand locations of the three
11:31
Speaker 5: hundred thousand were President Trump's committed We're not going to
11:34
Speaker 5: stop till we find every one of them, or at least,
11:36
Speaker 5: you know, run every lead down that those three hundred
11:38
Speaker 5: thousand children, that's a that's a big that's a big
11:41
Speaker 5: plus for the administration because the last administration wasn't even
11:44
Speaker 5: looking for him. So but as far as Chicago, Chicago's
11:47
Speaker 5: coming along with every other sanctuary city, President Trump is
11:51
Speaker 5: committed that we're going to focus and prioritize sanctuary cities
11:55
Speaker 5: because that is where the problem is. We know for
11:58
Speaker 5: a fact they're releasing public safety three to the streets
12:01
Speaker 5: every day rather than handing them over to Ice and
12:04
Speaker 5: we can deport them.
12:06
Speaker 1: You listen to that part of the story, and then
12:08
Speaker 1: you combine it with what we've just gotten into reporting.
12:12
Speaker 1: The Daily Mail is now reporting that migrant children lost
12:16
Speaker 1: under the Biden administration have been found dead or working
12:21
Speaker 1: as sex slaves, after an estimated two hundred and thirty
12:25
Speaker 1: three thousand children that you heard Tom Homan mentioned a
12:28
Speaker 1: moment ago cross the US Mexico border alone. During President
12:31
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's tenure and then were lost. Law enforcement has
12:35
Speaker 1: started to locate them, only to learn the horrors that
12:38
Speaker 1: they're facing. Since March, the Trump administration has tracked down
12:42
Speaker 1: about twenty three thousand of those kids, finding some of
12:45
Speaker 1: them in deplorable conditions, some of them dead, and others
12:50
Speaker 1: being used as sex slaves.
12:53
Speaker 4: We found children who have been.
12:54
Speaker 1: Raped, is what the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior
12:59
Speaker 1: adviser said Fox News Channel. We're talking about debt bondage
13:05
Speaker 1: where children are being made to work off debt, trafficking debt.
13:10
Speaker 1: We're talking about children that were brought into situations and
13:14
Speaker 1: then threatened and treated like sexual slaves. At least twenty
13:19
Speaker 1: seven of those children lost their lives. They are now
13:23
Speaker 1: confirmed dead, with cause of deaths ranging from murder, suicide,
13:28
Speaker 1: car accidents, or drug overdoses. Children are in horrific environments,
13:35
Speaker 1: just environments that they should not be in, where the
13:38
Speaker 1: sponsor is a heroin dealer and that child winds up
13:41
Speaker 1: dying of a heroin overdose. These children are classified by
13:47
Speaker 1: the government as unaccompanied miners, under age migrants who cross
13:52
Speaker 1: the US border without a parent or legal guardian. An uncle,
13:56
Speaker 1: older sibling, or other relative might be traveling with the child. However,
14:00
Speaker 1: the miner would be considered unaccompany because they are not
14:04
Speaker 1: with a legal parent. Oftentimes, the parents were already in
14:08
Speaker 1: the US and have saved up money to pay smugglers
14:11
Speaker 1: to bring their children in. In a heartbreaking video, for example,
14:15
Speaker 1: a two year old girl from El Salvador told the
14:18
Speaker 1: Texas Department of Safety troopers who found her in November,
14:21
Speaker 1: that she was on her way to reunite with her
14:23
Speaker 1: mom and dad. While kids have sometimes crossed the border alone,
14:28
Speaker 1: during President Joe Biden's time in office, the number exploded
14:32
Speaker 1: alongside overall illegal immigration. Often children were arriving at the
14:38
Speaker 1: border completely alone, pushed over the border wall by smugglers
14:42
Speaker 1: who then abandon them. In another shocking case, a two
14:47
Speaker 1: month old baby was found in the Rio Grande city
14:50
Speaker 1: of Texas by Border Patrol agents. This was a chilling
14:54
Speaker 1: reminder of how children are being exploited by human smugglers
14:58
Speaker 1: and criminal organizations ever day, the agency said after that
15:03
Speaker 1: report became public. In another instance, two brothers were found
15:07
Speaker 1: at the Texas Mexico border with handwriting on their t
15:10
Speaker 1: shirts with a child's name or the contact information of
15:14
Speaker 1: a said relative.
15:15
Speaker 4: In the United States.
15:17
Speaker 1: Someone had written the contact information on family members in
15:20
Speaker 1: the US on their clothing in a marker, hoping for
15:24
Speaker 1: the best. This is how the traffickers treat these children. Now,
15:29
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy thousand children without parents or guardians
15:33
Speaker 1: crossed into the US illegally between twenty twenty one and
15:37
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, according to new government statistics, After an
15:42
Speaker 1: uncompanied minor enters the US, the government policy is to
15:45
Speaker 1: let the miners stay in the country. The government holds
15:48
Speaker 1: them in special shelters for children until they can be
15:51
Speaker 1: reunited with relatives in the US. However, these children are
15:57
Speaker 1: not deported back to where they came from, and that's
16:01
Speaker 1: where the problems really really began. Biden officials were supposed
16:06
Speaker 1: to be vetting the adults that they were claiming were
16:10
Speaker 1: their children to make sure that they were actually related.
16:15
Speaker 4: Did they do it No.
16:17
Speaker 1: That is when the children were lost into the system
16:20
Speaker 1: deliberately by the Biden administration, with the officials unable to
16:24
Speaker 1: verify the kids whereabouts at all. There wasn't very good
16:28
Speaker 1: record keeping either, and we now know that maybe on
16:31
Speaker 1: purpose under the Biden administration. It's drawing the data back
16:36
Speaker 1: in being able to identify addresses where these children went,
16:41
Speaker 1: who these sponsors actually were, and in many cases, well,
16:45
Speaker 1: the data is horrible, and that may be on purpose.
16:49
Speaker 1: What the Biden administration was taking in and putting into
16:52
Speaker 1: our computer systems was not the right information, quote unquote.
16:57
Speaker 4: So now we have to.
16:58
Speaker 1: Draw that all the way back in and then deeply
17:01
Speaker 1: investigate into where some of these children went. In some cases,
17:06
Speaker 1: the adults the kids were released to, called sponsors, were
17:10
Speaker 1: not even DNA tested by the Biden administration to ensure
17:14
Speaker 1: that they were actually even related. They gave these kids
17:17
Speaker 1: away to an essence, strangers, and then the strangers could
17:21
Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted to do with these children. In
17:25
Speaker 1: other cases, the addresses where the kids were being taken
17:28
Speaker 1: to were also not vetted by the Biden administration to
17:33
Speaker 1: make sure that children were actually living there. Under the
17:37
Speaker 1: current administration, under Donald Trump's leadership, DNA testing is a
17:42
Speaker 1: requirement as its proof of income. Criminal background checks are
17:47
Speaker 1: being done on everyone. Fingerprinting and identification verification are also mandates.
17:54
Speaker 1: So why did the Biden administration do this to literally
17:59
Speaker 1: hunt undreds of thousands of children. One simple reason, they
18:04
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of the kids. As quickly as
18:06
Speaker 1: they could so they could allow for the borders to
18:09
Speaker 1: stay open. They could not handle a backlog of caring
18:13
Speaker 1: for three hundred thousand children. They didn't have the apparatus
18:17
Speaker 1: to do it, but to keep the southern border open
18:21
Speaker 1: and the flood coming in, they were willing to give
18:23
Speaker 1: these children to virtually anyone, even knowing that many of
18:27
Speaker 1: them were going to die, knowing that many of them
18:30
Speaker 1: were going to be sold into essence, what is sex
18:32
Speaker 1: slavery or bondage, or into child labor to work off
18:37
Speaker 1: a debt. They didn't care, and they knew that there
18:41
Speaker 1: was a problem. The reports clearly showed the Biden administration
18:45
Speaker 1: was quote checking up on the kids, and they weren't
18:48
Speaker 1: finding the children or the sponsors or at the address
18:52
Speaker 1: that they were declared to be going to. And what
18:55
Speaker 1: do they do? Nothing to stop it from continuing. And
19:00
Speaker 1: that is exactly why Donald Trump is working so hard
19:03
Speaker 1: now to find these children and hopefully find them alive.
19:07
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends over
19:09
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
19:12
Speaker 1: cell phone service, with new ones popping up all the time,
19:16
Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference, and you
19:18
Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, Well,
19:22
Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid
19:24
Speaker 1: of Liberal mobile you probably have right now. That is
19:27
Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
19:31
Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
19:34
Speaker 1: been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
19:38
Speaker 1: is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
19:41
Speaker 1: been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
19:44
Speaker 1: want you to know why switching is so important. Because
19:47
Speaker 1: every time you make a call, every time you send
19:49
Speaker 1: a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
19:51
Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in,
19:54
Speaker 1: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
19:57
Speaker 1: unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
20:00
Speaker 1: our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
20:04
Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
20:07
Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it
20:10
Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
20:13
Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
20:16
Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
20:20
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
20:23
Speaker 1: service team, and literally they can now with technology get
20:26
Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or
20:29
Speaker 1: your office. You're second a contract or owe money on
20:32
Speaker 1: your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program.
20:36
Speaker 1: And this is how we win, folks by aligning our
20:40
Speaker 1: spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,

21:10
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to

Speaker 1: two Patriot. In some big news, President Donald Trump with
21:18
Speaker 1: the Pentagon doing what he said to do, have now
21:22
Speaker 1: deployed f thirty five stealth fighters to the Caribbean for
21:26
Speaker 1: counter narcotics operations. Axios freaking out because that's what the
21:32
Speaker 1: media does when you have a strong president that is
21:35
Speaker 1: protecting American lives.
21:37
Speaker 4: Here's what their headline.
21:38
Speaker 1: Reads, quote, We've never seen this before. Trump's drug war
21:44
Speaker 1: looks like a real war. Again, they're saying it in
21:48
Speaker 1: a negative connotation. I'm thrilled by it, and so are
21:51
Speaker 1: most Americans because it's exactly what they voted for.
21:55
Speaker 3: Now.
21:55
Speaker 4: The media Axios is the great example of that. Today.
21:59
Speaker 1: They're wanting to be terrified that the President is wanting
22:02
Speaker 1: to go after narco terras. Their first line of the
22:06
Speaker 1: article says this, more missiles, fewer arrests. President Trump's war
22:12
Speaker 1: on drugs is officially a war, not a mere law
22:15
Speaker 1: enforcement action. And then they say why does this matter? Well,
22:18
Speaker 1: the US has entered a new era in which narcotic
22:21
Speaker 1: traffickers are classified as terrorists and Trump is claiming the
22:25
Speaker 1: right to kill them before they or their drugs reach
22:29
Speaker 1: this country. That's what you need to know the difference
22:31
Speaker 1: between Republicans and Democrats on this issue. Democrats want to
22:35
Speaker 1: like hand out due process to these terrorists. Republicans are saying,
22:39
Speaker 1: let's kill them and stop their drugs before they kill Americans.
22:43
Speaker 4: I'm loving this article.
22:44
Speaker 1: The president's overall perspective, they write, is that if there's
22:48
Speaker 1: a terrorist threat to the homeland of the United States
22:51
Speaker 1: of America. He trusts the military to take that threat out,
22:56
Speaker 1: whether it's a drug boat off the coast of Venezuela
23:00
Speaker 1: or an Al Qada terrorist in the Middle East. That
23:03
Speaker 1: is what a senior Trump administration official said to Axios Now.
23:07
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the US Navy blew up a suspected drug
23:11
Speaker 1: running boat off Venezuela, killing its crew of eleven. According
23:14
Speaker 1: to Trump and Pentagon officials. By the way, the video,
23:17
Speaker 1: it's glorious and I put it up on my social
23:20
Speaker 1: media accounts. If you haven't seen it yet, go check
23:23
Speaker 1: it out at Ben Ferguson podcast on Instagram.
23:27
Speaker 4: Now.
23:27
Speaker 1: The attack marked the first time a suspected go fast
23:31
Speaker 1: drug running boat was destroyed by a military missile. That
23:35
Speaker 1: according to officials and drug war experts. Yet again, the
23:39
Speaker 1: President saying, I'm not screwing around. Quote there's more where
23:43
Speaker 1: that came from. Is what Donald Trump said in announcing
23:46
Speaker 1: the strike. All other details of the shocking caught on
23:49
Speaker 1: video missile attack are classified.
23:52
Speaker 4: Officials said.
23:53
Speaker 1: I also laugh about that because it was very clear
23:55
Speaker 1: the President wanted the narco terras to see what happens
23:59
Speaker 1: if they keeping their drugs to America. Now, the attack
24:02
Speaker 1: was denounced by critics accustomed to the US conducting the
24:06
Speaker 1: drug war as a law enforcement matter and in which
24:09
Speaker 1: high see interactions mainly involved the Coast Guard and not
24:13
Speaker 1: actually blowing the boats up. Well, until now, the goal
24:16
Speaker 1: was to try to capture drug runners and the narcotics
24:19
Speaker 1: to build a case for federal prosecution. That's not what
24:23
Speaker 1: President Trump is trying to do. And by the way,
24:25
Speaker 1: that policy has been a failed policy now for decades,
24:30
Speaker 1: dating all the way back to Ronald Reagan and the
24:32
Speaker 1: Just Say No campaign to drugs with the first Lady.
24:36
Speaker 1: What happened Tuesday was a murder anywhere in the world,
24:39
Speaker 1: is what Columbia's NARCO president wrote on Acts, saying, quote,
24:44
Speaker 1: we have been capturing civilians who transport drugs for decades
24:48
Speaker 1: without killing them. Those who transport drugs are not the
24:52
Speaker 1: big narcos, but the very poor young people from the
24:55
Speaker 1: Caribbean and the Pacific. Well, if you're one of the
24:58
Speaker 1: poor young people, as he described it, the narco terrorist trade,
25:02
Speaker 1: maybe after seeing some boats being blown up from drones
25:05
Speaker 1: or airstrikes, you might think twice about taking the job.
25:09
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Donald Trump is trying to do now.
25:12
Speaker 4: The laugh.
25:13
Speaker 1: By the way they're fighting back. I'll give you a
25:15
Speaker 1: great example, the former Human Rights Watchdog executive director Kenneth
25:20
Speaker 1: Ross saying this on Acts quote, Trump admits he ordered
25:24
Speaker 1: a summary execution the crime of murder, then went on
25:28
Speaker 1: to say drug traffickers are not combatants who can be
25:31
Speaker 1: shot on site. They are criminal suspects who must be
25:34
Speaker 1: arrested and prosecuted. By the way, in the past, that
25:36
Speaker 1: would technically be true. That's exactly why Donald Trump changed
25:41
Speaker 1: the designation to name them as terrorists organizations. Now that
25:45
Speaker 1: thinking is no longer operative. Is how a Trump administration
25:49
Speaker 1: official put it. In fact, on his inauguration day, Donald
25:53
Speaker 1: Trump signed an executive order declaring certain drug cartels, including
25:58
Speaker 1: Venezuela's trend Aragua Gang, as a foreign terrorist organization. They
26:02
Speaker 1: were put on notice. So none of this should be
26:05
Speaker 1: shocking that the president is actually doing this right now now.
26:10
Speaker 1: Under US law, this gives the president the authority which
26:14
Speaker 1: he's using to employ the military. Administration officials say in
26:18
Speaker 1: the same way, the President Obama authorized a drone program
26:22
Speaker 1: that killed three thousand, seven hundred and ninety seven people
26:27
Speaker 1: in five hundred and forty two strikes aimed at suspected terrats.
26:31
Speaker 1: By the way, the left didn't freak out when Barack
26:34
Speaker 1: Obama was doing that, but since Trump's doing something like
26:37
Speaker 1: it now, they're all losing their minds. Trump also loosened
26:41
Speaker 1: internal rules that slowed military officials from conducting lethal operations
26:46
Speaker 1: against alleged terras. The National Security Council has taken out
26:50
Speaker 1: nearly one hundred terrists, the senior officialist said, saying, quote,
26:55
Speaker 1: we are conducting strikes against terras weekly that no one
26:58
Speaker 1: even knows about now. Former US Attorney Patrick Sullivan, who
27:03
Speaker 1: successfully prosecuted former Panama President Noriego for drug crimes after
27:09
Speaker 1: he was snatched in a ninety nine US military invasion,
27:13
Speaker 1: said Trump's militarization of the war on drugs, he says,
27:17
Speaker 1: is a quote surprise, saying we've never seen this before.
27:21
Speaker 4: This is a totally different approach.
27:23
Speaker 1: No one fired a missile at a go fast boat
27:25
Speaker 1: and just destroyed it.
27:27
Speaker 4: It's just totally unheard of.
27:29
Speaker 1: Yet again making me laugh that the media and the
27:32
Speaker 1: laughter are shocked by the President paying off on what
27:35
Speaker 1: he said he was going to do. Defend Secretary Pete headsays,
27:39
Speaker 1: saying this on Wednesday, quote anyone else trafficking in those waters.
27:45
Speaker 1: Who we know is a designated narco terrace will face
27:49
Speaker 1: the same fate as the eleven that were on board
27:52
Speaker 1: that first go fast boat that was blown up from
27:54
Speaker 1: the sky. Senator Ran Paul by the way, expressing misgivings
27:57
Speaker 1: about the operation, saying on NEWSMA, the Congress needs to
28:01
Speaker 1: declare war before the administration wages full scale war on
28:06
Speaker 1: the cartels. Just for the record, I couldn't disagree with
28:09
Speaker 1: Senator Paul Moore. Trump's new drug war isn't limited by
28:13
Speaker 1: the way we're being told, just to Venezuela. In the
28:16
Speaker 1: short term, it could double as a regime change operation.
28:19
Speaker 1: The left is now saying to dispose of the Venezuelan
28:23
Speaker 1: dictator Maduro, who's accused of sealing last year's presidential election,
28:28
Speaker 1: with a ton of evidence to support that fact. But
28:31
Speaker 1: this is how the left tries to undermine the president
28:35
Speaker 1: after Narrega. By the way, Maduro became the second sitting
28:38
Speaker 1: Latin American head of state to be indicted on narcotic
28:42
Speaker 1: charges in twenty twenty during Trump's first term. Maduro, by
28:46
Speaker 1: the way, now also has a fifty million dollar bounty
28:48
Speaker 1: on his head, which the Department.
28:50
Speaker 4: Of Justice has doubled quote.
28:53
Speaker 1: The only person who should be worried is Maduro, who's
28:57
Speaker 1: running effectively as a kingpin of a narco state. That's
29:01
Speaker 1: what the DoD administrator said, and we know that he's
29:05
Speaker 1: been involved in this type of drug running that has
29:07
Speaker 1: affected the American people directly. Put another way, Maduro can
29:12
Speaker 1: be targeted for assassination, including by drone strike, under the
29:16
Speaker 1: new US policy.
29:18
Speaker 4: I have no problem with that either.
29:20
Speaker 1: Administration officials say the possibility hasn't been seriously discussed, but
29:24
Speaker 1: Trump is keeping it as an option now. When asked
29:28
Speaker 1: whether regime changes a US goal, headse said the call
29:32
Speaker 1: wasn't his. What his job is is to do what
29:35
Speaker 1: the President says, and that is to go after the
29:38
Speaker 1: narco terrorists because clearly they're not going to stop killing
29:42
Speaker 1: Americans until we stop them.
29:45
Speaker 4: Which brings us to the bigger point.
29:47
Speaker 1: Why is it that there's so many Democrats in America
29:50
Speaker 1: right now that are refusing to admit just how bad
29:53
Speaker 1: the drug problem is. We know that fetnol is the
29:56
Speaker 1: number one killer of younger Americans right now, truly sad
30:01
Speaker 1: and shocking, and many of the accidental overdoses that are
30:04
Speaker 1: causing their deaths are clearly not intentional. Many kids think
30:09
Speaker 1: that they're taking a legitimate pill like a ritolin or
30:12
Speaker 1: an adderall and then drop dead from fetnyl. DEA agents
30:17
Speaker 1: have said they can't even tell the difference between the
30:19
Speaker 1: real pill from a pharmacist and the narco terrorist pill
30:23
Speaker 1: that is laced with fetanyl that can easily kill you.
30:27
Speaker 1: So here we are, we're in a moment where Donald
30:30
Speaker 1: Trump has made it clear he may direct more strikes
30:33
Speaker 1: against the narco terrists. As it's been put by Marco Rubio,
30:37
Speaker 1: he said, quote blow them up. That's what Rubio says.
30:40
Speaker 1: Trump will direct more strikes. The president of United States
30:43
Speaker 1: America is going to wage war on the narco terrorists organizations.
30:47
Speaker 1: So from the State Department to the Pentagon, to the
30:50
Speaker 1: FBI to the White House, one thing that is sure.
30:53
Speaker 1: The President said he was going after the drug traffickers,
30:57
Speaker 1: and that is exactly what he's doing. And yes, even
31:00
Speaker 1: as they're shocked to write it, it's maybe one of
31:03
Speaker 1: the best well articles I've ever seen where they're saying
31:06
Speaker 1: that the President is actually not just talking about going
31:09
Speaker 1: to war with a terrorists, he's actually starting a war
31:14
Speaker 1: to take them out, don't forget share this podcast please
31:17
Speaker 1: with your family and your friends where whoever they are,
31:21
Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow
