Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I won't get ahead of the President on broadcasting any timelines.
- 0:04Speaker 1: What I will tell you is what President Trump has
- 0:06Speaker 1: already laid out, which is that the achievable objectives of
- 0:09Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury we expect to last about four to
- 0:13Speaker 1: six weeks, and we are well on our way to
- 0:15Speaker 1: achieving those objectives. The retaliatory ballistic missile strikes from Iran
- 0:19Speaker 1: are now down ninety percent.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us on
- 0:27Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got a very
- 0:29Speaker 3: big story for you. A brand new Harvard poll showing
- 0:33Speaker 3: a clear majority of Americans support deporting all illegal immigrants
- 0:38Speaker 3: from the United States. The numbers are raising serious questions
- 0:42Speaker 3: about what the Democrats are now doing and what does
- 0:45Speaker 3: the data say moving into the mid terms. I'll break
- 0:48Speaker 3: it down for you. Having just come back from Israel,
- 0:51Speaker 3: I want to paint you a picture. It's midnight, sirens
- 0:54Speaker 3: are blaring and you have only seconds to grab your
- 0:58Speaker 3: child and run. Now imagine your elderly. Your legs don't
- 1:02Speaker 3: work like they used to. Getting downstairs feels impossible, and
- 1:06Speaker 3: after all of that you end up in a bomb
- 1:08Speaker 3: shelter for hours, even days, because you can't make the
- 1:12Speaker 3: trek again. This is what's happening across Israel as Operation
- 1:16Speaker 3: Epic Fury continues. Children are being traumatized, families are just exhausted,
- 1:22Speaker 3: and homes have been destroyed. And that's why the International
- 1:26Speaker 3: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is there on the ground,
- 1:30Speaker 3: bringing food, emergency equipment, care for those children, and help
- 1:34Speaker 3: for the elderly, and supplying the bomb shelters and medical
- 1:38Speaker 3: centers for critically needed essentials. If you've ever wondered what
- 1:42Speaker 3: it looks like to stand for Israel and stand for
- 1:45Speaker 3: good against evil, this is it. And that's why I'm
- 1:48Speaker 3: asking to now please act, give forty five dollars right
- 1:52Speaker 3: now to rush life saving essentials to the vulnerables under fire.
- 1:57Speaker 3: You can also call eight to eight four eight eight IFCJ.
- 2:02Speaker 3: That's eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ. Join me
- 2:06Speaker 3: and give and make a real difference online at IFCJ
- 2:11Speaker 3: dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. It's a forty seven
- 2:15Speaker 3: morning update and it starts right now.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Story number one. There is a.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Very interesting poll that just came out and nobody is
- 2:24Speaker 3: talking about it. Now, we have seen what happened in
- 2:27Speaker 3: Minnesota with ice. We've seen ice going into cities and
- 2:31Speaker 3: then the Trump administration trying to change course a little
- 2:34Speaker 3: bit on it. Because the pr battle, Democrats were losing
- 2:38Speaker 3: their minds, the paid protesters were coming in. You had
- 2:42Speaker 3: a couple people that were shot by ICE agents, and
- 2:44Speaker 3: then that turned into a thing. And then you saw
- 2:47Speaker 3: where they literally said in Minnesota, right, we're gonna change
- 2:51Speaker 3: course a little bit here, We're gonna put Tom Home
- 2:54Speaker 3: in there to be in charge. We're gonna pull back
- 2:55Speaker 3: a little bit. Some people thought that was admitting defeat.
- 2:58Speaker 3: I think it was actually a smart move, and Democrats
- 3:01Speaker 3: felt like that blood in the water and they were
- 3:04Speaker 3: rallying against you know, this is in humane treatment of
- 3:07Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, even though we were taking out some seriously
- 3:09Speaker 3: bad own breaks. So Democrats were hoping going into the
- 3:14Speaker 3: elections this week, the primaries, and certainly into the midterms
- 3:18Speaker 3: coming up in the next you know, not that long away.
- 3:20Speaker 3: What are we nine months from now? What you were
- 3:23Speaker 3: going to have less than that. What you were gonna
- 3:25Speaker 3: have is the immigration issue, which I would argue an
- 3:29Speaker 3: exit poll showed was one of the main reasons why
- 3:31Speaker 3: Donald Trump was re elected. People wanted there to be
- 3:34Speaker 3: a secure border, they wanted law and order, and they
- 3:36Speaker 3: thought there was way too many legal immigrants in this
- 3:37Speaker 3: country who were taking away American jobs and raising the
- 3:41Speaker 3: prices of rent and housing and a lot of things
- 3:43Speaker 3: like that. Democrats were hoping to flip that issue. Here's
- 3:47Speaker 3: what's interesting, even after all of the political hit jobs
- 3:50Speaker 3: the media did Minnesota, all the political hit jobs the
- 3:54Speaker 3: Democrats are done on ICE, the defunding of ICE, as
- 3:56Speaker 3: they try to do with DHS defunding and the shutdown
- 3:58Speaker 3: that we're dealing with right now, and what we've witnessed
- 4:01Speaker 3: for them, it's not working. How do we know that, Well,
- 4:06Speaker 3: this is the poll that every one of you should
- 4:09Speaker 3: be sharing. Americans are steadfast on saying that not only
- 4:14Speaker 3: do they want to secure border, but they also want
- 4:17Speaker 3: all illegal immigrants who are in this country sent home.
- 4:22Speaker 3: How do we know this not a liberal, not a
- 4:24Speaker 3: conservative poll, but a very liberal poll. Now, these poles
- 4:27Speaker 3: usually skew overwhelmingly to the Democratic side of things. These
- 4:30Speaker 3: the polls am about to give you the tell you
- 4:32Speaker 3: that Hilly Clinton was going to win the presidency, that
- 4:34Speaker 3: Donald Trump was going to lose to Joe Biden and
- 4:37Speaker 3: then to Kama Harris. Okay, a Harvard Harris poll. Okay, Harvard,
- 4:42Speaker 3: do you understand I'm going to say it again because
- 4:44Speaker 3: it's just so beautiful Harvard. So put a little asterisk
- 4:48Speaker 3: by that, and then think to yourself, what is the
- 4:50Speaker 3: real number here? Their number says that fifty seven percent
- 4:54Speaker 3: of Americans want all illegal immigrants sent home. Fifty seven
- 5:02Speaker 3: percent of Americans want all legal immigrants at home. That
- 5:06Speaker 3: is a Harvard poll that includes fifty four percent of
- 5:10Speaker 3: political independence, seventy nine percent of Republicans, and actually thirty
- 5:16Speaker 3: five percent of Democrats. So this is an issue that
- 5:20Speaker 3: Democrats didn't understand within their own party. Thirty five percent.
- 5:24Speaker 3: You can say, well, that's low, that's not in the
- 5:26Speaker 3: Democratic Party. It's not. That's actually really high. It's shockingly high,
- 5:29Speaker 3: in my opinion, that thirty five percent of Democrats. All right,
- 5:33Speaker 3: not independence Democrats say, even as a Democrat, as someone
- 5:38Speaker 3: that's a registered Democrat, I want not some all illegal
- 5:43Speaker 3: immigrants in this country sent home. This poll was also
- 5:46Speaker 3: done recently, all right. It was done between February the
- 5:49Speaker 3: twenty sixth and the twenty eight It was also a
- 5:52Speaker 3: larger poll about two thousand registered voters by the Harris
- 5:56Speaker 3: Poll and Harris X in conjunction with Harvard. The majority
- 6:00Speaker 3: support for mass deportations is also notable because it remains
- 6:05Speaker 3: strong amid massive resistance to bration. Politicians, the Democratic establishment,
- 6:12Speaker 3: the establishment media, and various pop culture influencers have all
- 6:17Speaker 3: come together to go and fight on this, as I
- 6:20Speaker 3: mentioned earlier. Now, this poll also showed sixty three percent
- 6:25Speaker 3: support for a draft law. All right, and this is
- 6:29Speaker 3: where it gets really interesting. Sixty four percent support a
- 6:32Speaker 3: draft law that would bar the award of commercial driver's
- 6:37Speaker 3: licenses to illegal immigrants. What does that mean. It means
- 6:42Speaker 3: that the American people overwhelmingly are in favor of having
- 6:46Speaker 3: a law that says, if you were a legal immigrant,
- 6:48Speaker 3: you can't get a driver's license and then go on
- 6:51Speaker 3: the roads and kill people, especially when you don't know English.
- 6:55Speaker 3: We've seen those stories. Now, Democrats are hoping that those
- 6:58Speaker 3: stories didn't hit. Okay, they were hoping that those stories
- 7:02Speaker 3: would fail. They were hoping that those stories would be
- 7:05Speaker 3: a disaster for Republicans and somehow not for Democrats. Well,
- 7:11Speaker 3: guess what this is exactly what I thought was going
- 7:16Speaker 3: to happen. This is the Democratic Party yet again and
- 7:20Speaker 3: the media yet again lying to the American people on
- 7:25Speaker 3: this issue flat out one hundred percent line. Now forty
- 7:30Speaker 3: percent of Democrats also, by the way, and I think
- 7:33Speaker 3: this is actually a really high number for Democrats. Forty
- 7:36Speaker 3: percent Democrats favor this as well. So on two different issues.
- 7:40Speaker 3: On immigration, Democrats and a higher number than I expected,
- 7:44Speaker 3: forty percent Democrats say you shouldn't be able to get
- 7:46Speaker 3: a commercial driver's license a CDL if you are an
- 7:51Speaker 3: illegal immigrant. Now, the majority support also for deportations coexists
- 7:56Speaker 3: with swing voters dislike of the tough police tactics required
- 8:00Speaker 3: to find and deport migrants amid fierce opposition from pro
- 8:07Speaker 3: migration activists. Let me translate that for you. The majority
- 8:11Speaker 3: of Americans say that law enforcement should work with ICE
- 8:16Speaker 3: so that they don't have to go out and round
- 8:19Speaker 3: up some of these bad own braids because local authorities
- 8:22Speaker 3: refuse to give, you know, like go along with ice detainers. Now,
- 8:26Speaker 3: what is an ICE detainer? If you don't know this,
- 8:28Speaker 3: I'll explain it to you very quickly. If local law
- 8:30Speaker 3: enforcement arrests individual and they find out they're an illegal immigrant,
- 8:34Speaker 3: they find out that they there's a detainer for them,
- 8:36Speaker 3: a request for ICE, like, hey, don't let this guy
- 8:38Speaker 3: back out on the streets. We want to come get
- 8:40Speaker 3: him because he also has X, Y, and Z against
- 8:42Speaker 3: him when he comes to being an illegal immigrant. That
- 8:45Speaker 3: is what an ICE detainer does in a simplistic way.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Sanctuary cities and states do not notify ICE when they
- 8:52Speaker 3: have an illegal immigrant in custody that they know that
- 8:56Speaker 3: federal law enforcement is looking for. That's a problem. The
- 9:00Speaker 3: majority of Americans also believe that those laws should be
- 9:06Speaker 3: honored and that sanctuary cities are wrong for doing what
- 9:11Speaker 3: they're doing. For example, the poll shows that fifty five
- 9:15Speaker 3: percent oppose hiring an additional twenty thousand Border Patrol on
- 9:19Speaker 3: ICE agents to conduct immigration raids and policing within different
- 9:23Speaker 3: parts of the country. Why because they believe that law
- 9:26Speaker 3: enforcement locally should actually be doing that job. The Department
- 9:30Speaker 3: of Home in Security and the Department of Justice have
- 9:33Speaker 3: had to take many steps to quietly deport immigrants or
- 9:36Speaker 3: without the drama needed by Democrats as well as the media.
- 9:40Speaker 3: For example, the DHS is stepping up paperwork checks the
- 9:43Speaker 3: businesses to see if they are hiring migrants. The Washington
- 9:46Speaker 3: posting report on March second that at least one hundred
- 9:50Speaker 3: migrants were recently fired from a restaurant in DC after
- 9:54Speaker 3: DHS officials reviewed the hiring records of one hundred and
- 9:59Speaker 3: thirty restaurant runs. The first batch of DHS letters went
- 10:02Speaker 3: out on February the twelfth. They probably won't be the last,
- 10:06Speaker 3: by the way, this is something that DHS is now doing. Saying, quote,
- 10:10Speaker 3: I think everybody is going to get one eventually, is
- 10:13Speaker 3: what one of the DC restaurants said in response to
- 10:16Speaker 3: these letters. I think it's a rare It's a rare
- 10:19Speaker 3: restaurant that doesn't have a single person on their roster
- 10:21Speaker 3: with questionable documentation. One restaurant had to fire twenty nine
- 10:25Speaker 3: illegal immigrant workers. So these employers know they're hiring illegals,
- 10:31Speaker 3: they're doing it anyway. When they get caught, then they
- 10:34Speaker 3: fire them because they don't want to deal with the
- 10:37Speaker 3: with the aftermath. Right on February, for example, twenty fourth,
- 10:42Speaker 3: eleven days after receiving receiving the letter, the co owners
- 10:46Speaker 3: of a restaurant said they tally their losses at twenty
- 10:49Speaker 3: nine employees. That was lion cooks, they said, prep cooks, bartender, servers, managers,
- 10:54Speaker 3: and they send a messages to say they would no
- 10:55Speaker 3: longer be working at his well regarded restaurant because of
- 11:01Speaker 3: all of these issues that we're talking about here. Now,
- 11:04Speaker 3: Democrats are saying this is going to destroy the industry,
- 11:07Speaker 3: and then if you get rid of a legal immigrant workers,
- 11:10Speaker 3: then prices are going to skyrocket, businesses are going to close,
- 11:14Speaker 3: and no one's going to want to do these jobs.
- 11:17Speaker 3: That's not true. That's also part of the lie, and
- 11:20Speaker 3: I think everybody knows that we've seen that now. I
- 11:23Speaker 3: think what Americans are clearly saying in this poll, including Democrats,
- 11:30Speaker 3: a right, like a majority of Democrats. I want to
- 11:33Speaker 3: be clear about that, but a lot more than I
- 11:35Speaker 3: thought was going to say, this is what democrats are doing.
- 11:39Speaker 3: And what Democrats are saying now is they're like, yeah,
- 11:41Speaker 3: we really want to have American citizens be first. We
- 11:45Speaker 3: want American citizens to be put first. We want Americans
- 11:51Speaker 3: to be able to have affordable health care. We want
- 11:54Speaker 3: Americans to be able to have affordable insurance. We want
- 11:58Speaker 3: Americans to be able to have a affordable housing, whether
- 12:01Speaker 3: that's renting or buying right. These are all things that
- 12:04Speaker 3: have been affected by legal immigrant labor and so I
- 12:09Speaker 3: look at this poll number, and what it tells me
- 12:12Speaker 3: is the president needs to understand that there is a
- 12:15Speaker 3: clear mandate by the president of the United States of
- 12:18Speaker 3: America to continue doing what he ran on, which was
- 12:22Speaker 3: not only to secure the border number one, okay, but
- 12:26Speaker 3: number two, it was to clean up our cities with
- 12:29Speaker 3: illegal immigrant criminals and those that are in this country illegally.
- 12:34Speaker 3: That is what everybody really needs to understand.
