  Speaker 1: We're gonna have Jesus want to come and say so.
• 0:20

• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Good Saturday morning to you.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: you may want to know what started all of this
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: in California. Well, Ice came in and we're going to
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: tell you the stories of those who they were arresting.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Up next, we're also going to talk about Donald Trump
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: and what he had to say at Fort Bragg about
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: holding the people in La accountable for the lawlessness that
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: we're witnessing. And finally, we also have a very big
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: report as well on where the money's coming from, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: an official investigation has been launched in Congress by Senator
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Josh Holly, We'll give you the details of the organizations,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: and the scary part is some of your tax dollars
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: we're going to some of these groups. It's the forty
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: The mayor of La Karen Bass, put out his statement saying, quote,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: this morning, we receive reports of federal immigration enforcement actions
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: in multiple locations in Los Angeles. As mayor of a
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: proud city of immigrants who contribute to our city in
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: so many ways, she's referring to legal immigrants, I'm deeply
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: angered by what has taken place. These tactics so tear
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: our city. So to be clear, the mayor is saying
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: that the law enforcement agencies are the terrorists, and the
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: people that are in terrorist organizations we are protecting. She
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: went on to say, my office is in close coordination
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: with immigrant rights community organizations, meaning we are advocating and
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: defending the illegal immigrants who are being prosecuted by ICE.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: And she then says, we will not stand for this.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: So the question that you should ask now is well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: who were they trying to arrest? Let me just go
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: through some of the names for you. The Department of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Homeland Security, for example, is confirmed that the Vietnamese illegal
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: alien ICE arrest in the LA operation yesterday is a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: convicted murderer and gang member who was involved in shooting
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: up a high school graduation party in San Marino in
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four, killing not one two young teenagers with
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: a bright future and injuring seven others. The individual and
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: other gang members were asked to leave the party after
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a dispute.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What do they do?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: They came back with an AK forty seven shotguns and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: a handgun and then open fire, killing an eighteen year
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: old teen and a fifteen year old teen. This is
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: exactly who the Democrats are defending and hiding from ICE agents,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: the Department of Home in Security spokesman saying in a statement,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: this coldbodic killer is who the Rioters are trying to
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: protect over US citizens. The brave men and women of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: ICE put their lives on the line every day to
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: arrest violent criminals like this and protect the lives of
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: American citizens.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That's not all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Jesus Hernandez Morales is a Mexican national and an aggravated
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: felon with prior conviction for conspiracy to transport an illegal alien.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness, he was deported yesterday. Jose Merendez Ortiz is
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: an Ecuadorian national with convictions for conspiracy to possess with
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: intent to distribute not one, not two, not three, not four,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: but five kilos of cocaine on a single trip in Florida.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Linel Sanchez Laguna a Mexican national with convictions for firing
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: a gun at an occupied dwelling in the oc also
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: battery of a spouse, beating his wife and wilful child,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: cruelty in oc plus at Dui, and an assault with
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a firearm. He had deportation orders since twenty twenty, and yes,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: the Democrats were protecting him as well. So if you
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: think that Ice is out there just randomly grabbing people,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: well that's what the media wants you to believe. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: they're lying to you, just like they say these are
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: quote peaceful protests.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Next story number two.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump went to Fort Hood and he also
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: took a moment to make sure that the American people
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: knew what he believed in his stance on what is
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: happening in La now. Not only was he greeted with
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: cheers from the troops. He also talked about giving back
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the old name a fort hood over whatever they called
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: it before. In the Woke Ajenda the last administration, Donald
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Trump telling the soldiers the LA protests are a national
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: security risk.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Here's more of what he had to say.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Before going further, I want to say a few words
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about the situation in Los Angeles, California. Have you heard
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of the place where I've deployed thousands of National Guard
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: troops and hundreds of Marines to protect federal law enforcement
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: from the attacks of a vicious and violent mob. And
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: some of the radical left they say, oh, that's not nice. Well,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if we didn't do it, there wouldn't be a Los
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Angeles would be burning today, just like the houses were
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: burning a number of months ago. Generations of army heroes
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: did not shed their blood on distant shores only to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California. As
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: commander in chief, I will not let that happens, never
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: going to happen. What you're witnessing in California is a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: full blown assault on peace, on public order, and a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: national sovereignty carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags with
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: We're not going to let that happen.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Under the Trump administration. This anarchy will not stand. We
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: will not allow federal agents to be attacked, and we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: will not allow an American city to be invaded and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: conquered by a foreign enemy. That's what they are. A
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: lot of those people will lit in here by the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Biden administration. They just poured right in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: They just poured right in now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: There's also another few that is happening right now, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: that is between Gavin News Simmon, Donald Trump, and the
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: latest clash is well over a lie. Apparently the Gaven
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: News I'm told about not having a call with President Trump. Well,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: guess what the Trump administration says. We've got the receipts.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: President Trump telling Fox News did he contact the Gaven
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: News from the governor of California on June seventh, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: in fact, they spoke for about sixteen minutes to discuss
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the unrest in Los Angeles. He's now offered a screenshot
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: of a call log as proof. Newsom, of course, is
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: denying any communication with Donald Trump in the past day,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: stating there was quote no call or voicemail and accusing
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the White House of misleading the public.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Now, he maintained that while he.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Did speak with Trump late Friday night around one thirty
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: am Saturday, the National Guard deployment never came up during
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: the nearly twenty minute conversation. He called Trump a stone
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: cold liar for mischaracterizing what happened in the call. Now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the key discrepancy here is this, the log showed June
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: seventh at won twenty three am, and he publicly declared
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the call happened a day ago. Newsom now is acknowledging
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: a Friday late night chat, but emphasized the national Guard
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: issue was not mentioned then, and then any claim of
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a recent call is quote false. So yet again you've
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: got a story changing and the governor lying to the people,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: all for a political reason. The disagreement is also part
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: of the escalating tension around Donald Trump having to send
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: in the National Guard and the people in la feeling unsafe.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: This is now moving into multiple days of protests and
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: it does not look like the governor or the mayor
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: has anything really under control. In fact, take a listen
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: to the mayor of La in her own words at
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: her press conference, we need.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: To stop the raids. There should should not be happening
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: in our city. It is not warranted and it does
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: The only thing it does is contribute to chaos. This
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: was chaos that was started at Washington, DC on Thursday.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: The city was peaceful on Friday. It was not because
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: of the intervention of the federal government.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That also a lie from the mayor.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: We have pictures and proof of cars being set on
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: fire before the National Guard was sent in.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: We have pictures and.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Proof video of the police being attacked in LA The
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Vice President JD Vance putting a tweet out saying this.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Kevin Newsom says he didn't have a problem until Trump
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: got involved. Both of these photos were taken before the
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: President authorized the National Guard to go protect our border
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: patrol in California. The pictures show the massive smoke, cars
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: on fire and also the vandalism of actual police cars
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: by the rioteurs. JD Vance goes on to say, this
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: does this look like quote unquote no problem. Newsom and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: his students Kene Bass have encouraged the riots because their
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: entire political movement exists for one purpose, to promote mass
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: migration into our country. It is their reason for being Democratic.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Leadership has no solution for the economy, for prosperity, or
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: for security. They use their power when they're in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: majority to import millions of illegal immigrants, and when they're
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: in the opposition, they do everything possible to prevent deportations.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Jadie Vance went on to say, quote, under Newsom's leadership,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Medicaid was extended to all legal immigrants in twenty twenty four.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: This means that he elected to take health care from
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: impoverished and disabled Californians and give it to illegal aliens.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: And now everything is President Trump's fault. Give me a break.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: If you want to know why illegal aliens flock to
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: your state, stop accusing Donald Trump. Look in the mirror.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: If you want to know why border patrol fear for
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: their lives over enforcing the law, look in the mirror.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: It was your policies that encourage mass migration into California.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Your policies that protected those migrants from common sense law enforcement.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Your policies that offered massive welfare benefits to reward illegal immigrants.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Your policies that allowed those illegal immigrants and their sympathizers
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: to assault our law enforcement, your policies that allowed Los
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Angeles to turn into a war zone. You sure as
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: hell had a problem before President Trump came along. The
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: problem is you, Now, the facts are a stubborn thing,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and the fact is there was anarchy and looting and
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: cars being set on fire, roadways being shut down, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: police being attacked before Donald Trump sent in the National Guard.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: So make sure that you share this information with everyone
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: you know, because the facts are a stubborn thing, especially
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: on this issue.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And finally, story number.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Three, President Trump not backing down and protecting LA and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: any other city where these radical extremists are starting these riots.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump addressed US troops and vowed
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: deliberate Los Angeles, blasting the situation as third world lawlessness
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: and accusing rioters of bearing foreign flags. He also defended
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the deployment of approximately four thousand National Guard troops and
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: seven hundred marines, citing their role in protecting ice agents
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: and federal buildings. Now, Trump also called the protesters animals,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: a foreign enemy and paid trouble makers, which we'll have
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: more on that story of where the money's coming from
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: for all of these protests, asserting that somebody's paying them,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and we now have an investigation into that. He warned
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: that he would invoke the Insurrection Act if protests reach
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: other cities, claiming he would send troops everywhere to maintain order.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Trump has framed the unrest as part of a broader threat,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: describing it as a full blown assault on peace, on
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: public order, and national sovereignty. He directly challenged California leaders,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: calling Governor Gavin Newsom newscum and saying they are afraid
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: to act. Trump also insists his forceful response demonstrates decisive
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: leadership and exactly what the American people voted for.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: The President was also at the Kennedy Center walking the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: red carpet with his wife, the First Lady, and he
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: was asked about some of these decisions.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Take a listen, So, will you be pulling back on
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the military?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Will you be pulling back on the military presence in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles and in California soon?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: What's the barometer you're using going to.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Be Absolutely, if we weren't there, if we didn't bring
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in the National Good and the Marines, you would probably
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have a city that was burning to the ground, just
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: like it was a number of months ago with the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: housing you would have had a big problem there.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: We were.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: In fact, the police chieftain said so much. If you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: look at what his statements where he said, we're very
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: lucky to have had that. If we weren't there, that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: city would have been burning to the ground, would be
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: burning right now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: To unrest.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: What are you prepared to do, sir, about what if
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: this turns well?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Just have spread out of sixteen cities across the US.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying. I do I believe you.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think so well. I got I can tell
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you that what we have. What we have is a
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: situation in Los Angeles that was caused by gross and confidence.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't have the police to handle it. The police
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: were asking us to come in. They were very late.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We had to go in to save a lot of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: ice officers, as you know, who were held up. They
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: were pulled up in a building and they were being attacked,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and the military went in. The National Guarden went in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and got them. The police weren't able, unfortunately, to move
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: fast enough, but we moved fast enough, and while we
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: were there, we stayed there and we stopped tremendous destruction
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and death. We stopped death. We stopped a lot. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if you look at them cutting up and breaking up
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk and getting it and using it as a weapon.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Did you see that with the curb where they're breaking
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: up the curb, nice curb and they break it up
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with a hammer because they couldn't get the bricks in.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they got caught with the bricks. We have
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: them under arrest. They were bringing bricks into throw at our.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Police, bringing in bricks to throw at our police. Who
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: paid for the bricks is the big question now that
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: everyone is asking.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But the President is also calling on leaders governors.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: To take the lead, take a stand and stop the anarchy.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And guess what many conservative governors are doing exactly that.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: The governor of Texas, for example, Greg Abbott, has proactively
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: deployed the National Guard to San Antonio ahead of planned
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: anti ice demonstrations. Gavin Newsom, that's how it's done. Texas,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: the governor said, will not be under siege like California.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And that's exactly the type of leadership that so many
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Americans are looking for.
