Trump GOES AFTER FEMA while visiting NC & CA · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, Donald Trump is giving hope to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: so many Americans right now, not only in North Carolina,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: but also in California. And Donald Trump is now saying
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: he wants to overhaul FEMA because of what he has witnessed.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Because of what he has seen, President Trump on Friday
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: said that he plans to sign an executive order to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: begin the process of fundamentally reforming and hauling FEMA, or
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: maybe getting rid of FEMA because of just how disastrous
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the agency is run now. He toured parts of North
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Carolina that were hit hard by flooding after Hurricane Helene.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Trump said he thinks the Federal Emergency Management Agency is
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: too bureaucratic and slow. He suggested that state governments handle
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: disasters within their states. The precise details about the executive
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: order are not immediately available. We're expecting those to come soon.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And Donald Trump did sidestep some of the questions from
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: reporters about a timeline for these plans, but the premise
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was clear. He believes that the bureaucracy of FEMA also
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: plays favorites, and a great example of that is North
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Carolina and what they have not received from the federal
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: government now. Trump invited families to talk about the flooding
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that ruined their homes and their struggles with the recovery
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and the lack of support from the federal government. Trump
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: says administration would surge quote housing solutions to North Carolina
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and said he would sign executive order to lift regulation
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: so that roads can be rebuilt without permitting needed that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration has left in place when they were
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there knowing it was holding up the roads from being built.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Later on Friday, the President also said, look, no matter
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: where you live, you deserve to have the support of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the federal government. And that's why he went from the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: North Carolina all the way to a briefing on the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles. Donald Trump sanang this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to the people in North Carolina, giving them hope and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: also bringing with him a pastor. This is something very
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: different than what you would see from the Biden administration. Now,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear exactly what the President had
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to say, and I also want you to hear what
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was said by the Reverend Franklin Graham. Take a listen
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to what he had to say about spiritual hope for
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the people suffering, and then what Donald Trump said as well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And you just wonder what you're going to do and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: where you're going to go. And we just thank God.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And that's I want to say, thank God that he's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: given us the resources to be able to help. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of people have helped, and not just Samaritans Purse,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: but there's been many different organizations and volunteers have just
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: come to Western North Carolina to see to help. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: grew up, this is my backyard. I grew up about
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: eight miles or so from here, and a lot of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: went to high school right down the road, about a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: mile down the road, and so this is home to me.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: But we've got a family today, and we've got the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: West family. This is their house. So we're here today
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to show the President just a little bit of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: damage and the problems that the people of Western North
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Carolina are facing. So, mister President, thank you for what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you have done for Western North Carolina. Thank you for
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: coming again to see. Thank you your son, Don Junior.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: He came with us twice. And so they've taken a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: real interest. And this isn't a politician coming down here
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: looking for votes. This is a man who who wants
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to do something who wants to see some changes, who
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: wants to make life better for you. So thank you,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and Malgnia, thank you so much for coming. That's an
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: honor to have you here with us. So mister President,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: please thank you very much. Thank you good man.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: He's done a great job, fantastic job. And we've come
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to North Carolina with a simple message for all the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: people of this region who were hit so hard by
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Hurricane Helene. And that message is very simple. You are
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: not forgotten any longer. You were treated very badly by
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the previous administration. And I'm here after a few days
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of the administration. We're going to California, Los Angeles. They
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: got hit hard, as you know. A lot of that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: could have been prevented. I think if they had water,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: which they had plenty of, but they didn't use it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But I'm going there. But we set up to go there,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and they said, what about North Carolina? They said, well,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: what would you? I said, I have to stop there first.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I'm stopping in North Carolina. So we made the stop
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and I feel very good. You're represented by some great people,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: great great congressmen are with us, and we're going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: get involved with them. And Michael Wattley is here, who
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: is the head of the Republican Party. He worked with
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Laura Trump to take us through to a tremendous victory,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: one of the as the media says, one of the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: most consequential presidential elections ever.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: They say in one hundred and twenty nine years.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Whatever that may mean, but whatever it is, it was
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: a great election we had and we won year State.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: All three times we won year State, and all three
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: primaries we won year State. So we want it six times,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I guess, mister Congressman. And it's a great place. And
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I wanted to come here, and before I went anywhere, frankly,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: in the campaign, I promised that I'd come back to
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: western North Carolina to help the people of the state.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And today here I am to deliver that promise. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: we have a lot of things in mind, and we're
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: getting the core of the Army Corps of Engineer Engineers
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: all set. You need your riverbanks fixed, you need a
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: lot of roads fixed, and we're going to get it
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: done in rapid time.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And I've asked Susie Wiles and all of my people.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: To start calling up get the core ready, and they're
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: going to get ready to go. I don't know what
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it is. I don't know what took so long for
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the other administration. But remember I wasn't here for the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: first four months or three months, whatever it may be. See,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: we can only start as of essentially one or two
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: days ago, and we've made a lot of progress over
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the last couple of days.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Michael, I understand.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: We're going to get you the resources you need and
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the support that you deserve, and we'll be at your
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: side through every step of the rebuilding. And no American
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: is going to be left behind. The people that I
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: just met are so great, and the people that own
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that house, that house is going to be very beautiful
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: in a little while. And who knows, if Franklin decides,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: maybe I'll rip it down them a new one, because
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: sometimes you can do that just as easily.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: But we're going to take care of the people.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I want to thank our great first lady for coming today.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: She really wanted to be here. She said, no, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: want to go, and you know, she sees what happened,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and she felt very badly and she wanted to go,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and we're then going out together to Los Angeles.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: But you wanted to be in North Carolina. She said,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: what happened. She has a feeling like I do for
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: North Carolina.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I got to just tell you, it's incredible to see
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the difference in the compassion that we are witnessing from
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Milania and President Trump. There's a lot of compassion, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: this is something that was not there with the Biden administration.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: They look to the Carolinas in this area, they're like, Oh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that's Trump country. We're not going to go help those people.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: We're not going to show up, We're not going to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: do anything for them. California totally different. Right, the government
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: pulled out all the stops for the people in California.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, one shouldn't get more than the other
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: based on who's in office. It should be a non
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: partisan scenario. Nonpartisan is what it should be. And yet
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: there are so many people that are partisan on the issue.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: There are so many people that are obsessed with being partisan.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And it shouldn't be the job of the government when
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it comes to disaster relief. The job of the government
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: should be to help anyone and everyone. Whether you're black
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: or white, or straight or gay, or liberal or conservative,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: none of that should matter. And I think what you
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: heard there from Trump is like I'm coming here first
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: because these people have been suffering, they've been forgotten. And
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: then I'm immediately flying to California because the people in
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: California matter just as much. It is a change in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: precedent at a level that every one of us should support.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's what true leaders do when people are suffering. They say,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't care you voted for I don't care if
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you've voted for me or against me. My job is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: present for all people. And that's what Trump is doing.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear the second part of what
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump also said about the flood victims in North Carolina,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and it is very clear that they were forgotten and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he's letting them know. I'm sorry, it's delayed. I'm sorry
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it's late, but we are here to help you now.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Last September, Hurricane Helene became one of the deadliest natural
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: disasters in modern American history. Rainfall rowse to far more
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: than thirty inches, which is lethal, unleashing unprecedented devastation throughout
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: western North Carolina and many other states.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: As you know, but you got hit the hardest.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: The highest responsibility and deepest obligation of the American government
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: is to protect its people, and that's never truer than
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: in times of emergency like this. Unfortunately, our government failed you,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't the Trump government.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: It was a government run by Biden. Of what a
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: terrible situation.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But our government failed the people of North Carolina and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: this horrible crisis. For two months, Ashville lacked running water,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and even today some North Carolinians can't take a hot
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: water shower. They can't drink water. They don't know where
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to get it. They have to it's delivered to them
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: by some where. They just go out and somehow find
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: some It's been four months since the storm made landfill,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and still one hundred and eighty roads remain closed and
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: in ruins. Earlier this month, the Biden administration kicked two
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: thousand displaced North Carolinians out of their temporary housing inter
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: freezing twenty degree weather.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know how they did that one.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Because it was cold, even while your government provided shelter
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: and housing for legal aliens from all over the world.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: But under the Trump administration, the days of betrayal and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the elect are over.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: They are over.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: As I said in my address, we restore the integrity, competency,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and loyalty of the American government, and I think I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: said most of it in the inaugural address. We said
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of things, but one of the groups of
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: people I was thinking about is you in North Carolina.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: A lot of that was in reference to you and
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: what you've had to suffer. I'm pleased to announce that,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: under our leadership, the federal government will be surging housing
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: solutions to the state that go beyond mere temporary hotel
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: stays that ended up being very short termed. The government
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: wouldn't do it any longer, which is ridiculous. Will marshal
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: all available resources that bring back potable water and make
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: your water and infrastructure dramatically more reliable, very quickly. Today,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I'll also be signing an executive order slashing all red
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: tape and bureaucratic barriers and permits to ensure the rapid
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: reconstruction of the roads here in western North Carolina. We're
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: going to go through a permitting process that's called no permitting,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Just get it done.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: That's the way they built them many years ago.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you that right we will get them back
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: very quickly, and we'll begin the work of fundamentally changing
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: terminating or overhauling FEMA. FEMA has been a disaster no
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: matter where they are.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: You know, this is what I love about this second
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: term Donald Trump. He understands how the government works, He
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: understands how incompetent the government is, and he understands the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: lack of accountability when he says there about FEMA, like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: we got to overhaul this thing.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: It's not serving the people.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, FEMA is about emergency disasters, right, And he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: there months after this all happened North Carolina, and FEMA
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: failed miserably and they have unlimited resources in essence, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they waste so much money. And so what Donald Trump's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: saying like, we may need to overhaul this whole damn
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: thing because it's so out of control.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Just how bad it is.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He then asked many family members there to come up
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and tell their stories, and it was incredible to hear
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: their stories and what they were saying. And Donald Trump
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and Milania just sat there with the congressmen and senators
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and others around and just listened.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: That's all they did. They just listened.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And after Trump listened to about fifteen minutes of a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: couple of different families, I think it was three four
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: different families. He got back up to the podium, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: this is how he ended his time there with these people,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: with this home that had been flooded out behind him,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that was still standing in FEMA doing nothing, with the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: red tape still across that door.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Listen and thank you very much, everybody.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So we're going to be working with a congressmen and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: women and they're going to do a job, and Michael
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Wattley's going to be very much in charge, and you'll
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: get it done. And FEMA's ready to rock. They haven't
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: done the job. They weren't really told to do the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: job by Biden. I guess Biden was thinking about other things,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: wasn't he, But they weren't told what they did. What
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the past administration did to North Carolina's a disgrace. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I just want to wish you all well. I was
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: here right after the event and I couldn't believe it.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I have never seen anything like it. I've seen a
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: lot of bad things, but I've never seen anything like it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: And it's an honor to meet the people behind me.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: And it's an honor to be with our congressional delegation
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and some of the other politicians in the area. And
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: it's an honor to have Michael Wattley at my side,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: because maybe we wouldn't be standing here as president if
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: he was, and him and Laura Laura Trump were unbelievable
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: as the head of the Republican Party. So he happens
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: to come from a place called North Carolina. So I said, Michael,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: fix it. So good luck, good luck, and we'll supply
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: what you need.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You know that. Okay, thank you, thank you all very much,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: thank you very much.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's classic President Trump. We're gonna fix it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Let's go see the problem. I'm in charge. Let's give
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the American people what they need. And while saying that,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and while doing that, there's also another part of this,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and it is the part that he's like, all right now,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we've got to go see other things where people are hurting,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and we got to get to California and see them.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Because all Americans matter. I'm not just coming here, Okay.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: All Americans matter. All Americans who are suffering their lives matter.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And so that is what we are going to focus on.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: We're not playing politics, all right, We're gonna fix the problem,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to give you people that I trust
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that I believe in that are going to be here,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna be here. We're gonna say fix it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: You hurt him there, you say, look, I know what
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: we've got going on. We got to fix it. Let's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: fix it. And that's the best part of all because
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if you're one of the people that is there, I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: truly believe that you're going to look at this and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to say, yeah, yeah, like, we got to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: fix this. The President's given me the order, and I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: am here to serve the president, and I'm going to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: go in and I'm going to serve these people and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: we are going to fix it. That's what we're going
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to do. We're going to fix it. This is a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: president taking control. Now. He also went to California and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the President had things to say there as well. And
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: some of it has to do with accountability because of
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the mismanagement. You know, you look at what happened, for example,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina, it's very different. It's a hurricane, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the President is now calling out FEMA. He's calling out
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the people that mismanage the wildfires and saying there needs
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to be some accountability. But he did say this about
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: FEMA as he was at the Asheville Airport in Fletcher,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. After touring what he saw, he was very
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: angry about just the.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Total lack of leadership from FEMA. Listen, well, get rid
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Can you say more about silent? I think people ordered
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: to get rid of FEDO people.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: FEMA has been a very big disappointment. They cost a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: tremendous amount of money, it's very bureaucratic, and it's very slow.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Other than that, we're very happy with them, okay.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: And I think it's I think when there's a when
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: there's a problem with a state, I think that that
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: problem should be taken care of by the state.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: That's what we have states for.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: They take care of problems and a governor can handle
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: something very quickly.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: One of the things I've noticed, because I've been doing
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: this for a while and we had a pretty good FEMA,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: but I also noticed that when they come they end
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: up in arguments of their fighting all the time over
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: who does what. It's just it's just not a good system.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: This system is so beautifully designed over two hundred and
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: fifty years approximately, you know, and we'll soon be celebrating
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the two hundred and fiftieth years. It's going to be
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: a very big celebration, but it's been designed very well
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and we're going to leave.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It that way.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: When North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, when everybody knows
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the governor of Tennessee, I.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Think everybody do you know?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Everybody here pretty much is hope. I never thought of it,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: but you're right over the ridge. So you're here to help.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: The people in this region, including Tennessey.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: The people of att Placia are grateful that you are here.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: You can hear it in the voice of the governor
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: from Tennessee there saying like thank you for being here,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and thank you for not forgetting about us, because clearly
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: they had been forgotten. They had been forgotten by the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Biden administration because in their minds, like these people vote
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: for conservatives or conservative Republicans. We don't need to waste
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: their time down there helping them. Something happens in a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: liberal area, we're all over it. Something happens in California,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we're all over it. Something happens here, we don't give
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a crap. You vote for the wrong guy. That's not
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: how it's supposed to work. And Donald Trump made it clear,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: every American that's suffering, it is part of his job
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to come in into help, and that is exactly why
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he left there and went to California. Donald Trump is
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: paying off on his promise to secure the southern border.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: On January the twenty first, President Donald Trump signed several
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: executive orders aimed at strengthening border security. Now these were
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: all because of promises that he made on the campaign trail. Well,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he is now keeping those promises and turning them into
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a reality for each and every American. So what has
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: happened so far? I want you to know the list
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: so you understand because many in the media are not
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: wanting to talk about this at all. The National Emergency
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Declaration has been signed by Donald Trump. What does that mean.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: It declares a national emergency at the US Mexico border
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that enables the deployment of federal troops to assist in
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: border enforcement. This is a very important tool that the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: President is using right now to shut down the southern border.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He also made good on another promise, the Remain in
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Mexico policy, reinstating the policy that would require asylum seekers
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: legal immigrants to wait in Mexico during US immigration proceedings.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: That is a one to eighty from what Joe Biden
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris did, which would allow for each and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: every illegal immigrant that comes across the southern border, even
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if they're turning themselves in to those at the border,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to be protecting it, saying oh yeah, go
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: free in America. Well, that policy is no more. The
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: remain in Mexico policy is now back into effect and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: being enforced at this hour.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You may remember that Donald Trump became president back in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, many believe because of one major issue, one
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: major thing that kind of catapulted his campaign. It was
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: when he said, We're going to build a wall, a big,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful wall, and he said at the time that Mexico
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: was going to pay for it. Now, you can argue
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and debate over that, but what we know now is
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that the border wall construction will be resuming and will
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: be finished. That's right. Through an executive order, Donald Trump
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: demanded the resumption and the completion of the border wall
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: along the southern border as soon as humanly possible. Now,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: there's also a big fight that is about to happen,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and it deals with birthright citizenship, and I want you
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to understand the argument here. Yes, there is the fourteenth Amendment. Yes,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment states very clearly that if you were
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: born in the United States of America, you are an
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: American citizen. The President wants to have a debate on
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that issue. So that is why he has decided, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he knows a legal challenge is coming that we are
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: going to have, as he described with the termination of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship, specifically if you are born in the US
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: to illegal immigrant parents. Now, this move is going to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: face legal challenges. They know this at the White House.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't actually believe they expect they're going to win this.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But what they're trying to do is open a national
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: conversation about this loophole where many illegal immigrants, days before
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they're about to give birth rush the southern border, have
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a child in the US and they are an American citizen.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: But what it also does it allows then for the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant parents to have a sponsor, a family member
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: who is an American citizenship to get them into the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: US and to get them citizenship. This is a loophole
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump wants to have some sort of fix on,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and now he's going to get that Grand debate. There's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: also something else the Democrats use, and it was an app.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: It was the most powerful app, many believe, in the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: world because it gave access to the United States of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: America for millions and millions of illegal immigrants. You may
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have heard of this app before. It was the CBP
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: one app. Donald Trump has now moved to disable the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: CBP one app, which allows migrants to schedule quote legal
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: entry appointments, resulting in cancelations now for hundreds of thousands
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of applicants, Donald Trump saying We're not playing that game
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: any longer. And then, in the biggest move so far,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, is this, Donald Trump moved to designate
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the Cartells as terrorists organizations. Not only has he classified
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the Cartells's terrorist organizations, but he's also lumped into this
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: gang such as MS thirteen, as foreign terrorist organizations as well. Now,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: what does this do well, It allows for much more
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: aggressive actions against these groups, including using the US military.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: The question everybody has been asking now is would we
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: actually see the US military go into what many are
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: describing as a failed state, into Mexico where the Cartels
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and MS thirteen gang members run the government and going
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: after them and taking them out. It's too soon to
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: tell exactly what the President's going to do, and declaring
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that they are terrorist organizations what that would mean for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: moving against the cartels outside of the United States of America.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: What is obvious is the President right now is looking
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: for every tool at his disposal to do whatever he
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: can to protect and defend our borders and American citizens. Now.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: The ICE director is also out on TV talking a
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: lot about what their plans are, including deportation operations that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: have already begun in the US. Tom Homan was on
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Fox News Channel in Here's what he said.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: President Trump signing a stack of executive orders yesterday, making
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: good in a major campaign promise tackling illegal immigration. Let's
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: bringing the new borders are to the president. Tom Humman
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: also the former acting ICE Director. So, Tom, we were expecting,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: based on your initial schedule, that today roundups of criminal
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: It seems to have been put on hold for a
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: will it begin?
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: No?
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: I started, I started ICE teams all there. As of today,
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: we gave the in direction to prioritize public safety threats
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: that we're looking for, so we've been working on the
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: target list. There was some discussion about Chicago because a
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Pacific operational plan was released, so we had a look
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: at and reevaluate does this raise after safety concerns? And
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: it does, but we've address that and teams are all
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: the effective today.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: So critics were saying, Okay, you're going to rout up
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: people's at boiler, their grandmother and ship them back to
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: where they emigrated from. Who are the people that you're
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: targeting at least in this initial.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: Phase, right, are the gays, public safety threats of those
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: who are in a country legal that's been convicted arrested
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: for a serious crime. But that may be clear, it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: not only public safety threats that will be arrested. Because
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: of sanctuary cities. We're not allowed to get that public
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: safety threat into jail, which means we got to go
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: to the neighborhood and find him, and when we find him,
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: he may be with others. And unlike the last administration,
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: we're not going to tell urce officers not to arrest
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: in the illegaland so if they find others, they'll be arrested.
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: So sanctuary city is going to get exactly what they
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: don't want, more agents in the neighborhood and more claud arrests.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: President Trump's a number of executive orders, as we pointed
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: out on illegal immigration.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Here's what he signed.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: He signed He declared a national Border emergency, ended birthright citizenship,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: ended catch and release, reinstated remain in Mexico, designated cartels
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: as foreign terrorist organizations, deployed active troops to the southern border,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: and end the use of the CBP one app which
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: many people were using to schedule interviews to claim asylum
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: here in the United States. I want to take a
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: couple of those. But let's first of all, go with
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: this idea of ending birthright citizenship. It's enshrined in the
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: fourteenth Amendment. How with an executive order can the president
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: change that?
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all, President drums a game changer one
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: of the executive orders we worked on, and these are
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: game change This is going to give us more secure
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: border in my lifetime. So great for him to do that.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: Birthright citizenship is a major driver of bhilical immigration. I know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: I've done this over three decades. When the first thing
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: is they and doesn't get here is get birth to
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: you a citizen ChIL, because I think that makes him
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: immune from our laws. Right, so even if it goes
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: to immigration court, loses his case. Even though he's in
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: the country league, he's convicted of a crime and get
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: to order removal. They think that the fact have bositisant
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: child make immune. We can't send that message of the
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: whole world that you can enter our country league, which
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: is a crime, you commit another crime, and you can
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: even get removed by an immigration judge after expensive due process.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: But if you have you a citizen child, you're off
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: the hook. We can't send that matches. We'll never fix
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: the more now.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: But the fourteenth Amendment does not differentiate between somebody who's
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: in this country legally or illegally.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: I'm not attorney, but I don't think the fourteen Memberschine
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: trying said at all. We have just as many legal
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: scholars constitutional scholar. Seye doesn't really say that. So what
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: President Trump is taking that action. We'll let Supreme Court
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: decide that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I love how Tom Homan is making it clear we
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: want this debate. This was a very clear political decision
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: by Donald Trump for this debate to happen. There are
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: many legal scholars that say he's going to lose. But
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it's obvious that the White House wants us to be
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: a grand debate, and that is exactly what they are
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: going to get all the way at the Supreme Court.
