Trump Halts Weapon Sales to Ukraine, Clarifying Misinformation on Trump's Tariffs & Sanctuary Mayors in Trouble · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: In a major move, President Trump has halted we now
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: being told all weapons sales to Ukraine.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: We also are being.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Told that Donald Trump is considering freezing weapons shipments from
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the US stockpiles. This coming from a Wall Street Journal exclusive.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some more of the background. The
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, they have confirmed, has halted new weapon sales
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to Ukraine and they are contemplating freezing all shipments from
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: US stockpiles, actions that could significantly impair Ukraine's defense against
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Russian forces. This decision follows a contentious Oval Office meeting
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: between Trump and Zelenski, during which Trump criticized Olenski's assertion
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that the wars end might be distant and suggested the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: US military aid could be suspended if Ukraine does not
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: actively pursue peace negotiations with the US. Now the suspension
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: includes halting new deals through the US Foreign Military financing system,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: which is vital for maintaining Ukraine's military capabilities. Analysts are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: warning that without US support, Ukraine's ability to resist Russian
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: aggression could be severely compromised. European allies and Ukraine's defense
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: industry may partially be able to compensate. We're also hearing
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at this hour, but the loss of advanced US weaponry
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: presents a significant challenge. European leaders have expressed concern over
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this shift in US foreign policy. The French president Macron
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: has proposed a temporary truce to facilitate the negotiations with Europe,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: showing willingness to support peacekeeping efforts, although Trump remains resistance
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to any US government involvement. European officials are advocating for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a truce and calling for US European unity, while Trump
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: has signaled that Zelensky must agree to a ceasefire on
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: US terms or face potential consequences now. The Trump administration
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and these recent actions indicate a significant shift in the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: US foreign policy regarding the Russia Ukraine conflict, especially after
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the way that Zolensky acted in the Oval office, making
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it very clear he is profiting off war and has
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: no intentions of stopping this war or negotiating for peace now.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: This move also puts Zelensky in an awkward situation with
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the Ukrainian citizens. There has not been election there since
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the war broke out. Many believe that he is a dictator,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a de facto leader of the country. Because no one
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: really knows who supports him. And if you're a citizen
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine and you see that the number one thing
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that is keeping you somewhat safe, which is US military armory,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and you're going to lose that, then the people in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Ukraine may turn against Zolensky. One of the most shocking
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: things that Zelensky has also said is that the US
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: will have to send their sons and daughters and they
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: will have to fight, and they will be dying. This
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: explains much of Zelensky's ridiculous conduct. He thinks he has
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: leverage over the United States taxpayer and over Donald Trump
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: due to our treaty commitments.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He is obviously very wrong.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Based on the actions of Donald Trump in the last
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours, we also know that Zelensky has shut
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: down calls for the immediate ceasefire in the war with Russia.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He is being defiant today as Ukraine shot down as
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a nation the prospect of even agreeing to a ceasefire
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with Russia, despite his country being on the back foot
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: after three years of war with a much larger adversary,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: apparently bolstered by fawning displays a support from European leaders
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in London on Sunday, Zelensky express intent to quote continue
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the war until he is satisfied with these security guarantees
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on offer from Western powers, saying, quote, if you don't
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have an end to the war and you don't have
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: security guarantees, no one is able to control a ceasefires,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Zolensky said to The Financial Times. The Ukrainian leader argued
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that Russia's history of launching invasions after agreeing to previous
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ceasefires has convinced him that a meaningful deterrent would need
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to be in place before Kiev stands down its forces.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: To be clear, that is not what Donald Trump actually
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: asked him to do. No one in the US government
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: asked him to stand down his forces, So he's clearly
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: changing the narrative, trying to imply that we said stop
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: fighting and protecting yourself.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: For US security guarantis, tees are confidence that the same
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: things won't happen after this hot stage is over now.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: President Trump has argued that previous agreements were broken under
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: weak presidents like Joe Biden Barack Obama, and then a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: ceasefire would merely be the first step towards a broader,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: concrete deal between the two nations. Zelensky said that he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was made aware of plans floated by President Macrone for
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a month long truce of fighting in the air see
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and attacks on energy infrastructure, but reportedly refused to comment
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: whether he would be amendable to this proposal now. During
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the summit in London on Sunday, the British Prime Minister
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Starmer and President Macrone said that they would seek to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: forge a quote framework piece agreement with Zelenski and present
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it to Washington after the talks broke down between Trump
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and the Ukrainian leader in the Oval Office on Friday,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: While the UN summit brought over a dozen leaders together
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to discuss Europe's role, they concluded yet again with no
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: other nation signing unto plans from the British and French
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for a pan European peacekeeping force, another failure by Europe,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and while the Prime Minister Starmer said that he was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: willing to commit British troops and planes on the ground
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine, he said that such a force would need
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the backing of the United States. In other words, we're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: not getting into this war without America being involved, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there's no indication that Washington or the President or the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Pentagon is wanting to actually send US troops to Ukraine.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: In fact, most Americans now say they do not support
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this war and they want a peace deal as soon
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: as possible. They also do not want their tax dollars
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: going there either.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Despite having left Washington early over the weekend without having
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: signed the simple Mineral Investment agreement for which he traveled
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America for, Zelensky said that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: his government was prepared to sign the deal and said
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we can get it done. It is unclear if the offer,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, from the Trump White House still stands
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: after what happened on Friday. We also know that the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: US Treasury Secretary told CBS on Sunday that the deal
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was intended as a stepping stone towards a peace agreement
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and that it would be pointless to sign if Selensky
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: wants the fighting to continue, as President Trump said he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: wants a peace deal now. It also remains to be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: seen how stable Zelensky's position in Kiev will be on
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: his return after the disastrous meeting with President Trump, which
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: resulted in heavy criticism both at home and abroad for
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: his oval office antics. Multiple European leaders and politicians urged
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Zelensky amend tize with the US President as soon as possible,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but he has maintained that he will not apologize to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump no matter what.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Zolensky has been blasted by Ukrainian lawmakers for the first
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: time publicly for arguing with President Trump, because even they
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: understand just how important the relationship is. A prominent Ukrainian
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: lawmaker declared it was absolute idiocy for President Zolensky to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: openly argue with the US President Trump in front of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the world during their Oval Office meeting on Friday. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Member of the Parliament in Kiev lamented that Ukrainian's relationship
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: with President Trump came to an end on Friday after
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a heated White House meeting, and he accused Zolensky of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not understanding what leadership actually looks like. He went on
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to write on Facebook, absolute idiocy to start arguing all
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: caps with the President of the United States in front
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of the cameras, adding that it can be done and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: probably should be done, but not in front of the cameras.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: The Ukrainian MP, who sits with the European Solidarity Block
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of the former Ukrainian president Pshenko in parliament went on
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to warn that Zelensky's behavior on Friday could have very
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: bad consequences for Ukraine. He said that such consequences could
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: include a potential shutdown of elon musks Starlink internet access
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian armed forces, to even an end of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Washington sharing intelligence with Kief, both of which have been
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: critical for Ukraine and its war with Russia.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: The Ukrainian lawmaker added, quote, Zelensky has put millions of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: people at risk and its madness. He also appeared to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: agree with President Trump's conclusion that Zelensky was not prepared
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: for peace, writing quote, this time, it's not only Putin's choice.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He wants a war. It's totally obvious. But on February
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the twenty eighth, this choice, the choice of war, was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: also made by the Ukrainian leader Zolensky. It's common choice
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: with Putin. This is the first time we've seen major
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: leaders in Ukraine standing up to Zelenski. The question now
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: will be what will happen in the days and weeks
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: ahead as the man who says he's in charge of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Ukraine returns. It's very important that you understand what's going on.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: With Donald Trump using tariffs to protect American lives. There's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation out there about the President and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the tariffs that have just gone into effect, and I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: want you to understand why. First off, the President is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: actually doing this. You may not know, but President Joe
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Biden did very little on fighting to protect Americans from FETNL.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: FETNL smugglers killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: time in office. That is exactly why President Trump has
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: quickly imposed painful tariffs on countries that are helping those
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: smugglers that killed again three hundred thousand Americans during the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Biden administration.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I determined that the failure of the government of the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: influx of synthetic opioids, including fetnel, flowing from the Chinese
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: declared in his March third Order. He also went on
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to say this in recognition of the fact that China
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the Illicit Drug Crisis.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the only place we're having problems when it comes to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: export to the United States. Now, the vast death toll
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: from fetnol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: multiple government reports. This is something the Biden administration knew,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: were oding. Yet Biden's counter measures were, by the way,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: all tactical when he did act like he was acting,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and he put little or no pressure on Mexico and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: China to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: including border chief majorchis they prioritize trade deals with China
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and migration deals with Mexico over American lives. Let me
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: give you an example. In twenty twenty two, Biden's deputies
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: stayed mute when Texas Governor Greg Abbott uses power over
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: cross border inspections to force modest concessions from four Mexican
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's efforts are being opposed by pro
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant advocates who do not want to recognize the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: huge death toll to American citizens. For example, Aaron boy
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Get the Washington Post wrote this, President Donald Trump's long
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: promised tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico are due
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to go in to effect Tuesday. This despite fears that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the taxes on imports could cripple the economies of our
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: two neighboring allies and negatively impact the US economy as
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: well by exacerbating inflation. You notice they don't care about
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: American families being ripped apart by these synthetic drugs. The
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: New York Times wrote, for American families, the likely result
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is higher prices nearly everywhere they turn. Trying to fear monger,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you that the grocery prices are more important than your
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: children's lives. They also went on to talk about car
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: dealerships and electronics stores and iPhones and what you're going
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to pay at the pump. The Wall Street Journal even
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ignored the narcotics trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Good news is Donald Trump wasted no time responding to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal criticism, saying this quote the tariff lobby,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: headed by the globalist and always wrong Wall Street Journal
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and too many others to name continue the decades long
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: ripoff of America, both with regard to trade crime and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: poisonous drugs that are allowed to so freely flow into America. China,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: by the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetanyl, saying, Oh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, however, is saying, yes, this
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is a battle worth fighting. Why because it's already cost
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the lives of more than three hundred thousand Americans. Peter Navarro,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, went on Fox News Channel with Brett
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Baer to talk exactly about this issue of fetanyl, including
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Canada and what's happened on the northern border also the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Mexican cartels. I want you to hear what he had
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to say about the President not backing down.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Tariffs are April second. Happening now is triggered by border
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: and fentanyl. I understand all of that, but what's happening
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: is is now Canada is obviously hitting back.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: They're taking the liquor.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Off the shelves, They're they're threatening electricity price increases, so
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: they're they're hitting back, and that people are going to
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: feel that we are taking off carmakers for a month.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: There's a report that agriculture products.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Are going to be exempted. Do you have that. I'm
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: not tracking that now. No.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we're making exemptions, but right now we're in.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: A bat But I think I think, look, we're going
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: to be in a period of adjustment where when we
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: impose the reciprocal tariffs, or when we impose tariffs that
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: are designed to save American lives, there's going to be
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: segments like you just had with mister four, and they're
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: going to rattle their savers and but I don't want
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: to contribute to that. What I want to say to
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: every world leader who gets up in arms when all
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: we're asking for is fairness and to have them stop
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: killing our people is please listen to us. Canada could
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: do a lot more. Canada has been taken over Brett
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: by Mexican cartels. They bring up, they bring up these
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: pill presses and printers and the medicines.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: That they fake.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: You can't tell the difference now measure of our companies.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Can you need a spectromer for to do it? It's
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: crazy and people are dying bread. It's been going on
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: for too long. I'll give you another thing just to
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: make this point. It's like it all starts in China.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: But then China brings these chemicals over in fifty gallon
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: drums and you know what when they get to the ports.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: You know why that stuff isn't interdicted there?
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: This because China owns the ports.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: You have metrics that you're going to set that they
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: have to meet this and then the tariffs go away.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, do we publicly know what that threshold is?
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Well, there's seventy thousand that America's dying every year, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: that's the low estimate because you don't pick up all
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: the deaths from the fake Xander.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: So you're putting them all in Canada's no, of course, not,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: of course, not Brett.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: But what we want to see is Canada and Mexico
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: crackdown on China.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: China for whatever reason.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: And there's a lot of speculations whether they're.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Meant mean to do us harm with this.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: They don't seem to care, Okay, So it's up to
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Mexico and Canada to help us do this.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: And and look, here's the other thing.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: The fenel crisis is so toxic to our economy bread
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: because most of the people are dying their prime age,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: working people.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I think I think everybody's on boards on the federal
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: threat and the fedinal deaths. I think there are questions
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: about tariff policy that we're going to dig.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Into as it keeps on going on. That's why I'm here, Peter.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: We appreciate your time. Thank you, brettan you I appreciate
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So you hear Peter Navarro there, and let's go back
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to what he mentioned like three or four times with China.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Here's what China put out on X Today from their
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: spokesperson quote. The fetanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: raise you of taris on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate necessary. The US,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: not anyone else, is responsible for the fetnyl crisis inside
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the US. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the American people, we have taken robust steps, China says,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to assist the US in dealing with this issue. Instead
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of recognizing our efforts, the US has sought to smear
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and shift blame to China and is seeking to pressure
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in blackmail China with tariff hikes. They've been pushing all
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: caps on US for helping them. This is not going
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to solve the US's problem and will undermine our counter
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: narcotics dialogue and cooperation. China then said intimidation does not
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: scare US, bullying does not work on US. Pressuring coorter
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: gen or threats are not the right way of dealing
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: with China. Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the wrong guy and miscalculating. If the US truly wants
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to solve the fetnal issue, then the right thing to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: do is to consult with China by treating each other
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: as equals.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: If war is what the US wants.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Be it a tear for a trade war, any other
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: type of war, We're ready to fight till the end.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Does that sound like a country that is actually trying
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to stop the flow of illegal drugs in the US. No,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: because they're making billions and billions and billions of dollars
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in profits making the chemicals for most of these synthetic
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: drugs and then giving them to the cartels to make
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: them in Mexico and other parts of the world. There
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: is no doubt that China is the lead of the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: drug trade.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Especially when it comes to these types of fake pills.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: They know it, and that's exactly why Donald Trump is
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: trying to stop them and willing to add tariffs until
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they finally stop killing Americans at a record rate. Sanctuary
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: city mayors are now being forced to testify on Capitol Hill.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: These are the same mayors that refuse to hand over
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: individuals that are.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Wanted by Ice.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Why because they're a loving city, a sanctuary city, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: they refuse to abide by the law of the land. Well,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: those sanctuary city mayors were forced to testify and it
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: didn't go very well for them.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Take a listen, would you turn that criminal over to ICE.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: This happened outside the city of Boston, but I can
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: tell you in the city, whenever someone commits a crime,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: whenever there's a criminal warrant, we hold them accountable. If
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: ICE deems that they are dangerous enough to hold obtain
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: a criminal warrant and the Boston Police will enforce it, will.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: You turn that criminal over to ICE.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: We follow the laws.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Do you consider yourself a sanctuary city.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: That's just we do not under that definition.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: You don't use the definition. You're not a sanctuary. We
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: call ourselves a welcoming city.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: We're not pulling the curtain back. We have ripped the
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: curtain from the rods. We have revealed to America just
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: how fast we could have secured our border if you
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: had an executive.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That was willing to enforce the law.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: So now we're paying attention to municipalities, and every one
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: of them is lawyered up. They've change their narrative.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: You'll be held accountable.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: One of you said you're willing to go to jail,
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: we might give you that opportunity.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Mayor yes or no? They should be deported, Okay.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Any individuals causes hard breaks out law should be held.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: This is why you have six percent approval reigning because
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: you suck answering questions. I do not think you guys
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: are bad people, but I think that were ideologically misled,
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: which is why, unfortunately, based on your responses, I'm all
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: going to be criminally referring you to the Department of
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: Justice for investigation.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: All of you will be referred for criminal investigation to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. All because these radicals are sitting
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: there in cities refusing to hand over criminals to ICE.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: There is a new whistleblower that has also come forward
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in Denver. The city of Denver now being forced to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: release videos showing ICE agents chasing down and arresting a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: suspected major cartel gang member who had just been literally
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: released from jail.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Why was he released?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Denver refused to hand him over to ICE inside the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: safety of the facility due to their sanctuary policies. Instead,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this criminal was street released and fled upon seeing the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: ICE agents outside waiting. ICE says he assaulted an agent
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: while being taken into custody. The local channel nine news
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: reported that ICE requested a forty eight hour heads up
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: on this man's release.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: He was a high value target but.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: They received that notification from the Denver jail just ninety
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: minutes before he walked out the front door. Now, ICE
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: says it makes no sense for sanctuary policies to ban
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the transfer of these hardcore criminals inside the jail, where
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it is safer for everyone, including the individual wanted by ICE.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: In this case.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, six ICE officers had to show up
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to apprehend the uncuffed gang member after he was released
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: from the Denver jail, literally walking out the front door.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Denver Mike Johnson says he reached out ICE yesterday and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: is asking to sit down with him to discuss the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: quote best procedures moving forward. In translation this Denver Mayor
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Johnson wants to discuss the best procedures when he already
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: knows what they are. What would the best procedure be?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Stop releasing criminal legal aliens from your jails, especially when
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you receive an ICE detainer.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It's just common sense.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: There's literally nothing else to discuss, and the question voters
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: should be asking themselves now is what side are the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: mayors actually on, on the side of your safety or
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: are they siding with the drug cartels. Now Christy Noam
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: was asked to go on Hannity to talk about this
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and these mayors. I want you to hear what she
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: had to say with Sean Hannity.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And while the mayors will getting grilled.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Noomes, she was up in
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: New York City at the subway station wherein illegal immigrant
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: stands accused of lighting a woman on fire last year.
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: She's back in DC from that trip, Madam Secretary, It's
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: so good to see. I keep wanting to say, Governor, Governor,
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: I'm like, I got to get used to it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: You can one of people are still making that mistake.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: Okay, it has been so bad during the campaign. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: rolled not only Lake and Riley, Joscelyn Nungary and Rachel
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: marn I'd wrote all the names and maybe I'll let
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: my team pull up those scroll all the names of
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: all these people murdered, raped, victims of violent crime.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: What are you finding?
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm finding families like that all over America
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: and their hearts are broken, their lives will never be
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: the same. And then they're living in some of these
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: sanctuary cities where they have leaders that won't listen to them.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: And that's what's shocking to me is well, even last night,
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: this State of the Union speech, I just I really
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: felt like the Democrats are broken in a way that
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: I've never seen that's unprecedented. Just the disregard for human tragedy,
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: and that's really what they showed last night. But that's
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: what I'm finding all across this country is people are
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: sick of their leaders. They're sick of mayors like these
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: that we had on Capitol Hill today, and they're done.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: They're waking up and they're very glad. Listen, we do
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: these raids on these criminals in these cities. People walking
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: by on the streets, going to work in the morning,
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: taking their kids to school, they stop and they go
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: thank you. They're telling these officers that are standing there
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: in their gear, thank you for doing this, thank you
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: for being here.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: So that's good.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: To hear that on the ground, I think is very
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: different than what you hear when you're listening to Democrats.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Where's your as a human being? Where's your heart, where's
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: your soul? Where's your conscience? You know your compassion? Democrats
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: say they're compassionate, and you don't stand for mothers that
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: lost their children. You don't stand for a little boy
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: to be cancer. You don't stand for a guy that
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: lost his father and got into West Point. You don't
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: stand for a woman that lost her hero husband police officer.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: Seriously, when they walked when the President walked in, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: they just didn't stand for him out of respect for
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: the institution. Out of respect for the institution. I mean,
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: that's at least decorum. And I served in Congress when
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Obama was there, and so many times he would come
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: in for that State of the Union speech and I
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: knew he was lying to us, and I knew he
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: had a political agenda and all that, but we gave
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: him respect because this is the foundation of our country.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: This speech is constitutionally mandated, and if you're going to
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: be a part of it, then you follow the process.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: And you can disagree on politics, you can disagree on
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: opinions and policy, but boy, respect the institution because it's
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: the backbone of this country.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: So glad you are doing what you're doing. And the
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: thing that I fear is, I think your task is
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: so daunting because you were handed a mess, as the
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: President likes to say, and we have terrorists, cartel members,
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: gang members, no murderers, rapists in the country. Okay, finding
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: them as hard. Now we have people that are working
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: against you. And this is a question I've asked you before.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: Are we finding the people that are tipping off and
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: putting ice agents' lives and dangers, tipping off the people
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: that you're.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Going to raid.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: I have a couple of them identified that are within DHS,
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: and when I'm able to reveal that with the evidence,
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: I'm going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: the law, and I'm going to make an example out
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: of them. And just on the way here, I got
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: another notification of another leak. And I can't do anything
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: without it getting leak. And that's why we have to
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: have so many ops all over the country all the
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: time that it doesn't slow us down. So that's one
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: of the things when I was in New York City today,
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: I said to so many of our law enforcement officers,
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: I said, so we don't have time to kiss each
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: other's asses. We just don't have time to sit around,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: and we have to do everything we can every single
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: day because we might have another Lake and Riley tomorrow
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: and wish we would have pushed harder, and wish we
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: would have done more. So these lakers boy, they better
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: watch out because we are putting just his equal effort
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: into identifying them as we are these criminals that are
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: out there raping and murdering people. As far as I'm concerned,
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: these lakers are more dangerous because it's a complete disregard
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: for our law enforcement officers that are killed. Oh absolutely,
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: a law enforcement officer and a whole op is going
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: to get where people are.
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: Going to And it's because some are you going to
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: stay out on the road and keep doing that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: I am because I think that it means a lot
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: to our our officers out on the street. I learned
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: something every single time of ways we can be more efficient,
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: what things I can do to streamline the process, how
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: we can multiply our operations, and how I can get
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: regulations out of the way, and then what these mayors
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: and governors are doing to cripple us.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: The sanction I mean, how close.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: I It's super cool. I mean, the President has giving
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: me everything that I've asked for as far as being
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: successful at securing the border exactly like he said he
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: was going to do. This guy is phenomenal. I just
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: can't even tell you. I love President Trump and I
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: love his confidence he's just steady, he's confident in this job.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: What he said last night that he feels like God
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: protected him to make America great again. That man believes it,
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: and I believe it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I know that for a fact.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: Is I've known him thirty years.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Madam Secretary.
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: A great job. Please keep us in the loop. It
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: really means a lot to this audience. We appreciate it,
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: all right.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: It's incredible. Chrissy No, I'm saying.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: These ICE leakers, by the way, that have been identified,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: are now facing prosecution. In a late night drop, saying
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: that she's identified a couple of them and she now
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: knows who they are. These are the people that were
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: leaking the location of ICE agents and now they will
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be brought to justice as well. Make sure you share
