Ceasefire Chaos, Trump Blasts Both Sides as 15 Iranian Nationals Arrested in U.S. · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: In the big breaking news is there is in theory
0:04
Speaker 1: a deal that has been done for a total ceasefire
0:07
Speaker 1: and ending of the war between Iran and Israel. Now,
0:11
Speaker 1: I say in theory because the President was not happy
0:15
Speaker 1: earlier today as he was asked about a late barrage
0:18
Speaker 1: of rockets and targets that were hit in Iran by
0:21
Speaker 1: Israel after the ceasefire time. Israel says they had no
0:25
Speaker 1: choice but to hit these targets because of a rocket
0:28
Speaker 1: that came at them. The President walking out to Marine
0:32
Speaker 1: one saying this to the media, do you mean.
0:40
Speaker 2: That a lot of.
0:42
Speaker 3: Ye do?
0:43
Speaker 4: They violated it, But Israel violated it too. Israel, as
0:48
Speaker 4: soon as we made the deal, they came out and
0:50
Speaker 4: they dropped the load of Bob's, the likes of which
0:52
Speaker 4: I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
0:55
Speaker 4: I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,
0:59
Speaker 4: now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
1:01
Speaker 4: the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.
1:04
Speaker 4: So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
1:06
Speaker 4: Iron either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out
1:10
Speaker 4: this morning because the one rocket that didn't land that
1:13
Speaker 4: was shot, perhaps by mistake that didn't land. I'm not
1:16
Speaker 4: happy about that. I know what we have. We basically
1:21
Speaker 4: have two countries that have been fighting so long and
1:24
Speaker 4: so hard that they don't know what the they're doing.
1:28
Speaker 4: Do you understand that?
1:31
Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America obviously extremely upset,
1:36
Speaker 1: saying let's get this done, and let's be done with
1:39
Speaker 1: all of this now. This comes as he mentioned there
1:43
Speaker 1: that Israel has bombed several different new targets after that deadline,
1:47
Speaker 1: saying it was in response to what Iran had done
1:51
Speaker 1: and breaking the ceasefire agreement. Donald Trump also coming out
1:55
Speaker 1: with a news statement saying, quote, I don't want Iran
1:58
Speaker 1: regime change. Why it creates so much chaos? The President
2:03
Speaker 1: telling reporters he's not seeking regime change yet again, noting
2:07
Speaker 1: that the endeavor would likely result in even more death
2:10
Speaker 1: and destruction, and you don't get peace when there's that
2:14
Speaker 1: type of instability. In response to inquiries about whether there
2:18
Speaker 1: is any desire for regime change it again later in
2:21
Speaker 1: the day, two words that many Americans now associate with
2:25
Speaker 1: forever war due to previous administrations, Trump replied no, if
2:30
Speaker 1: there was, there was, but no, I don't want it this,
2:34
Speaker 1: according to The New York Post. Later in the afternoon,
2:37
Speaker 1: he also said, I'd like to see everything calm down
2:39
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. Regime change takes chaos, and ideally
2:45
Speaker 1: we don't want to see so much chaos, So we'll
2:48
Speaker 1: see how it goes, the President told reporters aboard Air
2:51
Speaker 1: Force One on his way to the Netherlands for that
2:54
Speaker 1: major NATO summit and private talks. The President has told
2:59
Speaker 1: those around him that he wanted to prevent regime change
3:02
Speaker 1: in Iran as he didn't want to potentially have another
3:05
Speaker 1: Libya situation transpire, according to the New York Posts, and
3:10
Speaker 1: on Saturday, President Trump announced the United States had completed
3:14
Speaker 1: a very successful attack on all three nuclear sites in Iran,
3:18
Speaker 1: This coming as Iran is fighting back saying that they
3:22
Speaker 1: only were put back weeks or months with their nuclear
3:25
Speaker 1: program now. The mission to destroy the Iranian nuclear facility
3:29
Speaker 1: at Fodeau, located some three hundred feet inside a mountain,
3:32
Speaker 1: could only be accomplished with a special type of bomb,
3:35
Speaker 1: the fifteen ton Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which can only be
3:39
Speaker 1: carried by one plane That would be America's B two
3:42
Speaker 1: Spirit bomber a plan that Israel, by the way, does
3:45
Speaker 1: not have. On Monday evening, Trump also announced that Israel
3:48
Speaker 1: and Iran had agreed to a complete in total ceasefire.
3:51
Speaker 1: We're going to get into that more in a moment,
3:53
Speaker 1: and it should be transpiring that he said, within six
3:56
Speaker 1: to twelve hours of that announcement, effectively in the war
4:00
Speaker 1: between the two countries and the Middle East. Now you
4:02
Speaker 1: understand the context even more of why the President was
4:05
Speaker 1: so angry in those comments before he got on Marine one.
4:09
Speaker 1: The President's patience appears to be wearing thin, as he
4:13
Speaker 1: is also talking about Israel at this point. Before boarding
4:18
Speaker 1: Air Force one, he told those reporters that both Israel
4:20
Speaker 1: and Iran had violated the ceasefire agreement, and Israel, it's
4:25
Speaker 1: time to make the deal. It's time for them to
4:27
Speaker 1: stop doing this. The present not happy with Israel holding
4:31
Speaker 1: them account for what they agreed to as much as
4:34
Speaker 1: he's holding Iran account as well. Now the question is
4:37
Speaker 1: what happens moving forward. Is there a real chance with
4:40
Speaker 1: the President's leadership that we could have an end to
4:43
Speaker 1: this war. We'll have to see in the hours and
4:46
Speaker 1: minutes ahead. I won't even say days, because it's so
4:49
Speaker 1: hostile right now, which brings me to another big story
4:52
Speaker 1: that I want you to know about. The Department of
4:54
Speaker 1: Homeland Security has now come out with a new warning.
4:58
Speaker 1: In fact, Iranian nationals have been arrested across the United
5:03
Speaker 1: States of America over the last few days. The US
5:07
Speaker 1: Department of Home Land Security officials reported the arrest of
5:10
Speaker 1: the eleven Iranian nationals and some who are legally present
5:14
Speaker 1: in the United States. The arrest came over the weekend
5:17
Speaker 1: when President Trump ordered the strategic bombing of three Iranian
5:20
Speaker 1: nuclear sites and there was real concerns about sleeper groups
5:23
Speaker 1: in the US. Officials said that any of these are
5:27
Speaker 1: known or suspected terrorists. Christy Nome putting it this way,
5:31
Speaker 1: Under Secretary Nome, DHS has identified and arrested known or
5:34
Speaker 1: suspected terrorists and violent extremists that illegally entered the country
5:39
Speaker 1: came in through Biden's fraudut parole program er otherwise. Department
5:44
Speaker 1: of homeand Security officials wrote this saying quote, we have
5:47
Speaker 1: been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out,
5:50
Speaker 1: and we are. We don't wait until a military operation execute.
5:55
Speaker 1: We proactively deliver on President Trump's mandate to secure the homeland.
5:59
Speaker 1: Here's more on that story from CBS News.
6:03
Speaker 5: And that since Sunday, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also
6:06
Speaker 5: known as ICE, of course, has arrested eleven Iranian foreign
6:09
Speaker 5: nationals who officials say are not authorized to be here
6:12
Speaker 5: in the United States, including one man on the Known
6:15
Speaker 5: or Suspected Terrorist list. Homeland Security coursepondent Nicole Scanga joins
6:19
Speaker 5: US Now with more on the details of this developing story.
6:22
Speaker 6: Nicole, good morning, Good morning, Tony. The Department of Homeland
6:26
Speaker 6: Security says Yusuf Maredano had been living in the United
6:30
Speaker 6: States illegally for nearly eight years, since US officials determined
6:34
Speaker 6: he lied on a visa application. On Sunday, just four
6:38
Speaker 6: months after the Iranian foreign national was added to the
6:41
Speaker 6: US's Known or Suspected Terrorist list, he was arrested in
6:45
Speaker 6: Central Mississippi. He's now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings,
6:50
Speaker 6: and he's not alone. Over the past forty eight hours,
6:54
Speaker 6: ICE officials have arrested eleven Iranian nationals spanning eight states nationwide.
7:00
Speaker 6: Among them, five possessed previous criminal convictions, their crimes ranging
7:04
Speaker 6: from grand larceny to drug and firearm possessions. Also among
7:09
Speaker 6: those apprehended rip var Kareemi. While arresting him in northern Alabama,
7:14
Speaker 6: ICE officials say they found his Islamic Republic of Iran
7:18
Speaker 6: Army identification card and alleged he served as an Iranian
7:22
Speaker 6: sniper between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty one.
7:26
Speaker 1: Now this goes back to President Trump and what he
7:28
Speaker 1: has said when he was running for president. He said, look,
7:30
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad people that have come in
7:32
Speaker 1: this country. Many of them are terrorists. They've come across
7:34
Speaker 1: our southern border. And you look at the DHS report
7:37
Speaker 1: and where they were. We're talking about Mississippi, We're talking
7:41
Speaker 1: about Alabama, Arizona, San Francisco, San Diego, Houston, Colorado Springs, Buffalo,
7:50
Speaker 1: and Saint Paul. On top of that, the Department Home
7:54
Speaker 1: Security Assistant Secretary Church of McLaughlin, she's been a guest
7:57
Speaker 1: on this show, said this quote. Under Secretary nome dhas
8:00
Speaker 1: has been full throttle on identifying and arresting knowner suspected
8:03
Speaker 1: terrorists and violent extremists that illegally entered this country. They
8:07
Speaker 1: came in through Biden's fraudulent parole programs, or otherwise. You
8:11
Speaker 1: look at that statement, and it's very clear that there
8:14
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are on the terrorists
8:15
Speaker 1: list that we don't know where they are. We're doing
8:18
Speaker 1: what we can to round them up. But DHS officials
8:20
Speaker 1: reported the following arrests and they were worried. On June
8:24
Speaker 1: the twenty second, for example, Ice Atlanta arrested a man
8:28
Speaker 1: in Alabama. He served as an Iranian Army sniper from
8:33
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one, and at the time
8:37
Speaker 1: of his arrest he was in the possession. He had
8:40
Speaker 1: an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card. He entered
8:45
Speaker 1: the US on a K one visa, which is reserved
8:49
Speaker 1: for aliens engaged to be married to American citizens in
8:53
Speaker 1: October of twenty twenty four under the Biden administration. The
8:58
Speaker 1: man never adjust did his status a legal requirement, and
9:03
Speaker 1: is removable from the United States. He currently is in
9:06
Speaker 1: Ice CUSSI. Well, he'll remain pending removal proceedings. This is
9:10
Speaker 1: an individual that should have never been in this country.
9:13
Speaker 1: Let's go to Houston, Texas. On June the twenty second,
9:17
Speaker 1: Ice Houston officials arrested another man from Iran. He was
9:22
Speaker 1: an alien with a final order of removal and when
9:25
Speaker 1: they called him, guess what, he was carrying a loaded
9:27
Speaker 1: nine millimeters pistol at the time of his arrests. The
9:30
Speaker 1: man from Iran entered the US in Houston December the
9:33
Speaker 1: ninth of sixteen on an F one student visa. On
9:37
Speaker 1: October nineteenth, twenty seventeen, Harris County Police arrests him for
9:41
Speaker 1: assaulting a family member by impeding breathing that would in
9:45
Speaker 1: essence be strangling someone. His wife told the local assistant
9:49
Speaker 1: district attorney that the man was threatening her and obtained
9:52
Speaker 1: a restraining order against him. She also alleged that he
9:55
Speaker 1: was threatening her family in Iran. On July the twenty
9:59
Speaker 1: third of eighteen, the University of Texas terminated the man
10:02
Speaker 1: status after he was placed on academic suspension. An immigration
10:06
Speaker 1: judge ordered him removed on October the tenth of nineteen.
10:10
Speaker 1: After he was released on immigration bond, he filed a
10:13
Speaker 1: motion to reopen his case, which a Department of Justice
10:16
Speaker 1: immigration judge denied. The man, Thank goodness, is now a
10:19
Speaker 1: nice custy penning removal proceedings. These are the people that
10:22
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is trying to find right now, And these
10:25
Speaker 1: are the types of people that we worry about doing
10:27
Speaker 1: attacks in the United States of America, And that's exactly
10:30
Speaker 1: why they're working twenty four to seven to try to
10:32
Speaker 1: find them. They got to ask you a question, are
10:35
Speaker 1: you one of those that is just so tired of
10:37
Speaker 1: giving your money to radical left woke companies that actually
10:40
Speaker 1: are fighting against your values every day? Well, there are
10:44
Speaker 1: certain bills that you pay every month that if you
10:47
Speaker 1: can go with a conservative company, why not do it?
10:50
Speaker 1: In fact, why not go with a conservative company actually
10:54
Speaker 1: takes part of your bill every month that you're going
10:55
Speaker 1: to pay to somebody, and they give it back to
10:58
Speaker 1: organizations that support your First and your Second Amendment rights,
11:02
Speaker 1: that support the rights of unborn children, that stand with
11:06
Speaker 1: our military, are first responders, and so many wounded warriors
11:11
Speaker 1: that need help. Well, that bill I'm talking about is
11:14
Speaker 1: your cell phone bill. And I've been telling you for
11:18
Speaker 1: a long time about Patriot Mobile. But there's no better
11:20
Speaker 1: time to switch than right now. Not only does Patriot
11:24
Speaker 1: Mobile operate on all three major networks in this country, yeah,
11:28
Speaker 1: all three. That means you get the same great coverage
11:30
Speaker 1: you're used to right now, but you also make a
11:33
Speaker 1: difference with every call you make and every text you make,
11:35
Speaker 1: and why would you want to give your money a
11:37
Speaker 1: big mobile. Big Mobile has been giving big donations to
11:40
Speaker 1: democratic causes, democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking
11:46
Speaker 1: about organizations that actually support abortion. That is why I
11:52
Speaker 1: want you to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go
11:55
Speaker 1: ahead and make the switch, And it's so easy. All
11:59
Speaker 1: you have to do is say we call Patriot Mobiles
12:01
Speaker 1: one hundred percent US based team from the comfort of
12:04
Speaker 1: your home or your office and they'll have you activated minutes.
12:08
Speaker 1: And if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.
12:11
Speaker 1: Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up to five hundred
12:14
Speaker 1: dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
12:18
Speaker 1: or upgrade do a new one. So back to my point,
12:21
Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
12:24
Speaker 1: make a difference every single day with every call you make.
12:27
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot
12:33
Speaker 1: com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot And
12:37
Speaker 1: if you use the promo code ferguson, you're gonna get
12:39
Speaker 1: a free month of service on top of that. Patriot
12:42
Speaker 1: Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot.
12:47
Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson or nine seven
12:50
Speaker 1: to two Patriot. There is one thing that is also
12:54
Speaker 1: very clear about the ceasefire agreement with Israel and Iran,
12:58
Speaker 1: and also the fact that America hit Iran's nuclear program
13:03
Speaker 1: the way they did. The media doesn't want to admit
13:06
Speaker 1: that it was successful. In fact, they've now gone into
13:08
Speaker 1: overdrive to say that the Iran nuclear program was in
13:11
Speaker 1: fact not decapitated, and it was just merely put back
13:16
Speaker 1: maybe days, weeks or possibly months, but it's still intact.
13:21
Speaker 1: This is the new line that you're seeing across almost
13:24
Speaker 1: every one of the mainstream media channels. I'll give you
13:28
Speaker 1: a great example, NBC News starting their nightly broadcasts with
13:32
Speaker 1: this piece of propaganda.
13:34
Speaker 7: Take a listen.
13:35
Speaker 3: Tonight, President Trump in the Netherlands for the NATO Summit,
13:38
Speaker 3: wielding a diplomatic win on the world stage with a
13:42
Speaker 3: tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
13:44
Speaker 4: Still holding the ceasefire is very much in effective, and
13:49
Speaker 4: I think we're going to keep it diff for a
13:50
Speaker 4: long time.
13:50
Speaker 3: The President projected more confidence that the US air strikes
13:54
Speaker 3: on three Iranian nuclear sites, which included B two bombers
13:58
Speaker 3: fourteen bunker Buster bomb delivered a fateful blow. Photos before
14:03
Speaker 3: and after appear to show significant destruction at the sites. However,
14:07
Speaker 3: in a new development tonight, a preliminary assessment by the
14:10
Speaker 3: Defense Intelligence Agency estimates that the Iranian nuclear program has
14:15
Speaker 3: been delayed by three to six months. According to three
14:19
Speaker 3: people with knowledge of the report, the White House disputes
14:22
Speaker 3: that initial assessment, calling it flat out wrong.
14:25
Speaker 4: Roan will never rebuild it. Duclin from there, absolutely not.
14:29
Speaker 4: That place is under rock, that place is demolished. The
14:33
Speaker 4: BETQ pilots did.
14:34
Speaker 3: Their job, and this tonight from the director of the
14:36
Speaker 3: UN's Nuclear watchdog.
14:38
Speaker 7: What we see is a very important degree of damage.
14:41
Speaker 1: The Iranian nuclear program has been set back significantly.
14:45
Speaker 3: Still, his all cap style of diplomacy under stress tonight,
14:50
Speaker 3: the red carpet European welcome, quite a contrast to the
14:54
Speaker 3: blunt and profane way he left Washington today furious over
14:58
Speaker 3: additional strikes by both the Israel and Iran after he
15:01
Speaker 3: outlined his ceasefire plan.
15:04
Speaker 4: We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
15:07
Speaker 4: long and so hard that they don't know what they're
15:11
Speaker 4: doing now.
15:11
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, a senior White House official says, the
15:14
Speaker 3: President over the past forty eight hours had cold Netnyah
15:17
Speaker 3: who with a clear demand no more war than a
15:21
Speaker 3: trio of top officials, Vance, Rubio and Witkoff were directed
15:25
Speaker 3: to reach out to Iran to deliver the message that
15:28
Speaker 3: a ceasefire was expected. And here at the NATO summit,
15:32
Speaker 3: the President shifts to a broader agenda of diplomacy.
15:36
Speaker 2: And Kelly joins us Now live, Kelly, let's go back
15:38
Speaker 2: to that initial assessment of the damage too Run's nuclear sites.
15:42
Speaker 7: You have more reporting on the White House reaction.
15:45
Speaker 3: And Tom, the White House is effectively saying hold on
15:48
Speaker 3: the Pentagon is still examining the consequences of the strikes.
15:51
Speaker 3: Also tonight, we're learning that for the first time, lawmakers
15:54
Speaker 3: had been able to see some of the analysis by
15:57
Speaker 3: intelligence agencies. That is sure, and they were able to
16:01
Speaker 3: do that in a secure location, and that is a
16:03
Speaker 3: new development.
16:04
Speaker 1: So you can hear the media they're just straight up
16:07
Speaker 1: hoping that this was a failure. NBC News spending that
16:10
Speaker 1: entire two and a half minutes trying to tell you
16:13
Speaker 1: that the Intel reports that Rand's nuclear program is in
16:16
Speaker 1: fact not destroyed, that Donald Trump doesn't know what he's
16:19
Speaker 1: talking about, that this was basically a minor strike against
16:23
Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear program, over and over again. Move over to
16:28
Speaker 1: CNN and what were they saying at CNN about the
16:30
Speaker 1: same exact issue. Well, Congressman Mike Turner saying this about
16:35
Speaker 1: CNN as he was questioned on the intelligence. Remember many
16:38
Speaker 1: of them were briefed on it in Congress today. Here
16:41
Speaker 1: is how that went down, after CNN all day portraying
16:44
Speaker 1: that Trump wasn't able to end a Rand's nuclear program.
16:49
Speaker 8: The battle damage assessment, which I think is up on
16:50
Speaker 8: a couple of.
16:51
Speaker 7: Hill right now. I have not given what you're laying
16:54
Speaker 7: out here.
16:54
Speaker 8: This I think intensity of the pushback from the White
16:57
Speaker 8: House about how this is an assessment that.
16:59
Speaker 7: They don't agree with, but it's assessment you're saying is
17:02
Speaker 7: exactly what you expected or what it should have been.
17:04
Speaker 7: We're just I've not seen it.
17:06
Speaker 9: So again, you're you know, and it's what you're reporting
17:09
Speaker 9: on is a leak of it. So even even what
17:12
Speaker 9: you're saying, you know, we can't accept that the basis
17:16
Speaker 9: of your report is really what it says. I believe
17:20
Speaker 9: that we have to accept that because these are as
17:24
Speaker 9: the President has said precision strikes, and as the IE
17:28
Speaker 9: has the Internationaltomic Energy has said, and as we all know,
17:31
Speaker 9: there are thirty sites that Iran has, there are additional
17:35
Speaker 9: sites that are going to have other nuclear materials.
17:39
Speaker 7: And we don't know what. We don't know.
17:40
Speaker 9: We don't know where Iran has moved things. We don't
17:42
Speaker 9: know what where they have had perhaps other Condestine operations.
17:47
Speaker 9: We're going to have to find out what other threats
17:50
Speaker 9: and risk there are from Iran.
17:52
Speaker 7: The President's ever mentioned something could be moved.
17:54
Speaker 8: I think the Vice President was talking about enricheranium over
17:57
Speaker 8: the weekend and the possibility of not knowing exactly where
18:00
Speaker 8: that is going forward. Look again, I consider you, and
18:05
Speaker 8: you've always been an honest broker with me in our conversations.
18:07
Speaker 7: The idea that the President has.
18:08
Speaker 8: Not framed this as a significant victory that more or
18:14
Speaker 8: less puts an end to Iran's nuclear program.
18:18
Speaker 7: I think he's putting words in his mouth. I do
18:20
Speaker 7: not think I didn't say I was directly quoting him.
18:22
Speaker 7: I'm saying exactly like that all day.
18:24
Speaker 9: That is how CNN has portrayed that, and I do
18:26
Speaker 9: believe that is absolutely no You think.
18:28
Speaker 7: The President right now.
18:30
Speaker 8: If the President were to talk about this, he would acknowledge, Look,
18:32
Speaker 8: we have no idea where the enrich uranium is.
18:36
Speaker 7: At this point in time, there was no.
18:38
Speaker 8: Expectation that we were ever going to knock out the
18:39
Speaker 8: entire nuclear program.
18:41
Speaker 7: There's likely.
18:42
Speaker 9: I don't think it's I don't think it's I don't
18:43
Speaker 9: think it's necessary for the president to say what you're saying.
18:46
Speaker 7: I think it is. Absolutely the President.
18:49
Speaker 9: Has taken an incredible act of leadership that no other
18:52
Speaker 9: president has taken. World leaders have seen him take a
18:56
Speaker 9: decisive action that has made the world safe. The head
19:00
Speaker 9: of NATO, other world leaders understand that the action that
19:03
Speaker 9: he has taken was absolutely a step that changes the
19:11
Speaker 9: Middle East, and it changes the dynamics of the world,
19:14
Speaker 9: and it stops a rogue nation from publicly enriching uranium
19:19
Speaker 9: and on its way breathtaking lye toward a nuclear weapon
19:22
Speaker 9: that would have changed I mean they could. They were
19:24
Speaker 9: developing an ICBM, they could hit Washington, d C. They
19:27
Speaker 9: were developing missile technology that could hit Paris in London.
19:31
Speaker 9: They were a threat to the world. And Donald Trump
19:34
Speaker 9: took action to derail that that regime. That is incredibly
19:42
Speaker 9: important there are steps yet to be taken. We'll see
19:44
Speaker 9: where that goes.
19:45
Speaker 1: Congress and Turner. I couldn't agree with him more there
19:49
Speaker 1: exactly like that all day. This is how Cena has
19:52
Speaker 1: portrayed that, and I do believe that that is absolutely
19:56
Speaker 1: not true what you're reporting. You listen to see an end,
20:00
Speaker 1: you go back to NBC Nightly News, you go back
20:03
Speaker 1: to all the Democrats out there. They actually are wanting
20:08
Speaker 1: Iran to have a nuclear weapon so they can then say,
20:12
Speaker 1: see Donald Trump failed. Can you think about how messed
20:17
Speaker 1: up that actually is. I mean, it's the level of
20:21
Speaker 1: insanity of hatred towards Donald Trump to the point where
20:27
Speaker 1: for you to have a quote victory over Donald Trump,
20:31
Speaker 1: you're now advocating and hoping that Iran actually has a
20:38
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. That's what you're wishing for, That's what you're
20:42
Speaker 1: hoping for, so that you can score points on the
20:46
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. And that is
20:50
Speaker 1: your thing, Like that's what you want to happen and
20:53
Speaker 1: to come out of this. I've said this before and
20:57
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. You don't hate the liberal media
20:59
Speaker 1: enough because this is what they do. Like you do
21:03
Speaker 1: not hate the liberal media enough. Because over and over
21:10
Speaker 1: and over again, when they can actually advocate or cheer
21:15
Speaker 1: for American success, what do they do. No, no, no, no,
21:19
Speaker 1: they say, we're playing politics, folks. We can't actually say
21:23
Speaker 1: that something that Donald Trump did made it safer. That's
21:26
Speaker 1: something we can't do. No, no, no, no, we cannot
21:30
Speaker 1: do that. We're going to say it was a failure
21:34
Speaker 1: and hope that Iran is winning just so we score points.
21:38
Speaker 7: It is sick.
21:40
Speaker 1: I don't want to go back into something that we
21:42
Speaker 1: had mentioned earlier, and that is about the sleeper cell
21:45
Speaker 1: concerns in this country. We now know that at least
21:50
Speaker 1: five more Iranian nationals were arrested on Monday, in addition
21:55
Speaker 1: to eleven that were announced by the Department of Home
21:58
Speaker 1: and Security on Tuesday morning. On Monday, a forty five
22:02
Speaker 1: year old, for example, was arrested by officers in Baltimore
22:05
Speaker 1: and given a third county notice. He was previously crimly
22:10
Speaker 1: convicted of assault with the deadly weapon or force likely
22:14
Speaker 1: to produce great bodily harm, where he was sentenced to
22:18
Speaker 1: just under a year behind bars, And we can get
22:20
Speaker 1: into that in a moment. It's insane, but this goes
22:24
Speaker 1: back to how many people are let into this country
22:28
Speaker 1: that came from Iran, that wished to do harm to
22:32
Speaker 1: this country. Fox News Channel having an extensive report on that.
22:35
Speaker 7: Take a listen.
22:36
Speaker 10: Concern about our safety here at home. In the wake
22:39
Speaker 10: of the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. Breaking news today,
22:43
Speaker 10: Immigration and Customs agents announced they have arrested fifteen illegal
22:47
Speaker 10: Iranian immigrants since Sunday. One of them admitted to ties
22:51
Speaker 10: to Hesbellah in Lebanon. A law enforcement source told Fox
22:55
Speaker 10: News the FBI is closely watching for any Iranian back
22:58
Speaker 10: sleeper agents. In the week of Operation Midnight Hammer, during
23:01
Speaker 10: the Biden administration, border agents arrested more than one thousand,
23:05
Speaker 10: five hundred Iranians who entered illegally at our southern border.
23:09
Speaker 10: They let nearly half of them go. President Trump on
23:13
Speaker 10: that this morning.
23:14
Speaker 4: Biden let a lot of supercellen. Biden was an a
23:17
Speaker 4: competent president, had no idea what he was doing. He
23:20
Speaker 4: let a lot of supercells in.
23:22
Speaker 7: Many from Iran.
23:24
Speaker 4: But hopefully we'll take care of them. What Biden did
23:27
Speaker 4: to this country should never be forgotten.
23:30
Speaker 10: Justice correspondent David Spunt is in Washington.
23:33
Speaker 2: David well Harris the news about the fifteen Iranian nationals
23:37
Speaker 2: coming illegally into the US is no surprise to the
23:39
Speaker 2: people at the Justice Department of the FBI and of
23:41
Speaker 2: course the Department of Homeland Security. According to authorities, one
23:44
Speaker 2: of them has ties to HESBLA, another is an alleged
23:47
Speaker 2: former sniper for the Iranian Army. Out of a budget hearing yesterday,
23:51
Speaker 2: Attorney General Pam Bondi said the number of Iranians illegally
23:55
Speaker 2: in the United States continues to grow.
23:58
Speaker 6: It's well over one thousand have entered our country, and
24:01
Speaker 6: I can tell you we are on high alert and
24:03
Speaker 6: everyone is looking at that.
24:05
Speaker 10: Very closely now.
24:07
Speaker 2: She says, budget cuts won't affect the overall mission. DOJ
24:09
Speaker 2: and the FBI continue to focus on threats toward President
24:12
Speaker 2: Trump himself as a result of his ordering of the
24:15
Speaker 2: killing of this man, General Cassim Solomani in January twenty twenty,
24:20
Speaker 2: assassination plots originating in Iran not only toward President Trump,
24:24
Speaker 2: but to US residents who once lived in Iran. DHS
24:28
Speaker 2: Secretary of Christy Nome, seen there yesterday, was asked about
24:31
Speaker 2: sleeper cells in the United States. Those are groups of
24:34
Speaker 2: people who live among us in the US quietly until
24:39
Speaker 2: order to act.
24:40
Speaker 5: We've seen some.
24:41
Speaker 6: From overseas, and some that have been here, maybe gone
24:44
Speaker 6: overseas for short period of time, become radicalized and come back,
24:47
Speaker 6: or individuals that are right.
24:48
Speaker 5: Here in the United States.
24:50
Speaker 2: Nom held a conference call with some of the nation's
24:52
Speaker 2: governors over the weekend of pledge federal resources to help
24:55
Speaker 2: on the state level to combat any threats, whether federal
24:58
Speaker 2: or local. General Bondi back in front of lawmakers tomorrow
25:02
Speaker 2: to talk about the DJ budget, but you could expect
25:05
Speaker 2: some of these topics also will likely come up.
25:07
Speaker 1: If you go back to the list of the individuals
25:09
Speaker 1: that have been arrested and what they've been arrested for.
25:12
Speaker 1: One of the ones I mentioned earlier was out of Atlanta,
25:16
Speaker 1: an individual that was arrested in Alabama, and this was
25:19
Speaker 1: a guy that served as an Iranian Army sniper. Now
25:23
Speaker 1: he didn't serve as an Iranian Army sniper like twenty
25:26
Speaker 1: years ago. The individual served as an Iranian Army sniper
25:31
Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one, and at the
25:35
Speaker 1: time of his arrest in America, he was in possession.
25:41
Speaker 1: He had an Islamic Republic Army identification card on his person.
25:48
Speaker 1: All right, if you don't want to be involved in that,
25:50
Speaker 1: why would you have it on your person. You go
25:54
Speaker 1: to another example, ice in Houston. They arrested another Iranian there.
26:00
Speaker 1: When they arrested him, he was carrying a loaded nine
26:04
Speaker 1: millimeter pistol. They arrested him, by the way, in seventeen
26:09
Speaker 1: in Harris County, that is Houston, Texas, the police arrest
26:13
Speaker 1: him for assaulting a family member and impeding breathing, meaning
26:19
Speaker 1: you're strangling someone. You also go to another person in Houston,
26:26
Speaker 1: another Iranian national. An immigration judge had ordered him removed
26:30
Speaker 1: nearly twenty years ago on August fourth of two and five.
26:34
Speaker 1: He's been twice convicted of drug crimes and one's convicted
26:37
Speaker 1: driving on a suspended license. He's still in America. There's
26:41
Speaker 1: problems here. There's another example of this. A man in
26:45
Speaker 1: Arizona arrested again another Iranian.
26:49
Speaker 7: He had a final order of removal.
26:51
Speaker 1: He was convicted of threatening a law enforcement officer and
26:55
Speaker 1: being an alien in possession of a firearm. So these
27:00
Speaker 1: are as the President would describe it bat ownbrace right.
27:03
Speaker 1: You have officials that arrested another man that was in
27:06
Speaker 1: the country illegally from Iran. The man threatened to open
27:10
Speaker 1: fire on ice officials if they entered her home, and
27:13
Speaker 1: then she would go outside and shoot ice officers in
27:17
Speaker 1: the head quote unquote. So it's not just men, it's
27:21
Speaker 1: also women. You had another twenty two year old in Mississippi,
27:25
Speaker 1: an Iranian national and former lawful permanent resident. Well, guess
27:30
Speaker 1: what he lied on his original visa application and committed
27:33
Speaker 1: potential marriage.
27:33
Speaker 7: Fraud as well.
27:35
Speaker 1: This is a guy who quote is listed as a
27:38
Speaker 1: known or suspected terrorists. He's now an ice custody penning removal.
27:44
Speaker 1: You have another man in Colorado, an individual after a
27:49
Speaker 1: judge had already ordered him to be removed. His criminal
27:51
Speaker 1: history include state and federal convictions for drug crimes and
27:55
Speaker 1: arrests for assault and child abuse. No big deal, right,
28:00
Speaker 1: totally fine. You got a man in Saint Paul, a
28:03
Speaker 1: man that was fifty six year old Iranian national. He's
28:06
Speaker 1: been convicted of being a felon in possession of a
28:09
Speaker 1: firearm in Minneapolis. He was sentenced to fifteen months in prison.
28:13
Speaker 1: He's also a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
28:18
Speaker 1: with admitted connections directly to Hezballah. You got another guy
28:23
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, sixty two year old Iranian national with
28:27
Speaker 1: a criminal history that includes a conviction for petty theft
28:30
Speaker 1: and a conviction of possession of a controlled substance for sale.
28:34
Speaker 1: He was sent to ten years in state prison for
28:36
Speaker 1: drug conviction and now he's in ice custody.
28:40
Speaker 7: Or go to Buffalo.
28:41
Speaker 1: You've got another Iranian national there, a man convicted of
28:46
Speaker 1: grand larceny, schemes to the fraud, criminal impersonation in practicing
28:51
Speaker 1: as an attorney. Another example of the people that they're
28:55
Speaker 1: taking off the streets. So when you look at what
28:59
Speaker 1: we are now witnessed, it is very clear that there
29:02
Speaker 1: are real people in this country that are trying to
29:05
Speaker 1: do harm to this country that were let in under
29:08
Speaker 1: the last administration.
29:10
Speaker 7: That is obvious.
29:11
Speaker 1: The last administration knew that these people were coming into
29:15
Speaker 1: this country and they just didn't care. They wanted to
29:20
Speaker 1: flood the country with as many illegal immigrants as they
29:23
Speaker 1: possibly could, and they just didn't care who was coming in,
29:29
Speaker 1: how they were getting into this country. It didn't matter.
29:32
Speaker 1: And that's incredibly sad. Let me also say one other
29:37
Speaker 1: final thing here. I expect this to get worse before
29:41
Speaker 1: it gets better. With a number of illegal immigrants that
29:44
Speaker 1: we're going to find that are a real threat to
29:46
Speaker 1: our national security and we should do everything we can
29:49
Speaker 1: to support and advocate for Ice and this administration to
29:55
Speaker 1: find them wherever they have to in the country. Don't
29:58
Speaker 1: forget share this podcas cast with your family and friends.
30:01
Speaker 1: We're going to keep you updated on all of these
30:04
Speaker 1: stories shared on social media wherever you are, and I'll
30:06
Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow morning.
