Speaker 1 (00:01):
The President having a cabinet meeting at the White House
and making it very clear that he is getting tough
and staying tough on tariffs.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'll give you a great example.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
South Africa is now facing a thirty percent US tariff
hike plus a ten percent surcharge for anti American.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Policies, and he's not messing around.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm going to give you more details on that part
in a second, but before we get to that, I
want you to hear the President in his own words
at the cabinet meeting at the White House. And here's
what he said about the letters that we've been sitting
out in the past on tariffs and what we're doing now,
Big bill.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Tariffs.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
What happened to ninety three deals in ninety days.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Oh, we've spoken to everybody.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
We know.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
It's all done.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
I tell you, I tell you, we'll make some deals.
But for the most part, we're going to send a letter.
We're going to say, welcome to the United States, if
you'd like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever.
I mean, we're doing better than ever we have I
don't think, and you're going to see these numbers soon.
We've never had numbers like this. We've never had investment
(01:09):
like this. We have more than ninety. We're going to
have much more than ninety, but most of those are
going to be said to a letter, this is exactly
what I said. Now, we've made a deal with the
United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China, we've made
a deal, we're close to making a deal with India.
Others we met with and we don't think we're going
to be able to make a deal, so we just
send them a letter. If you want to if you
want to play ball, you have to this is what
(01:31):
you have to pay. So we're, as far as I'm concerned,
we're done.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
We're sending out.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they
have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit,
depending if they have a cause. We're not going to
be unfair about it.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
And actually it's a small.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should
be we could be asking for much more, but for
the sake of relationships that we've had with a lot
of really good countries, we're doing the way I do it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
But we could be.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Getting a lot more.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
We could ask for a lot more than what we're
asking for.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You were sending the letters to follow on the head
and ask earlier your counties has deals by saying here's.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
The teractery I'm saying here it is congratulations, welcome to
the United States. I hope you make a lot of money,
and you're going to pay us money. They were ripping us.
They were charging US tariffs at levels that nobody's ever
seen before. We have some countries who are charging two
hundred percent tariffs and making it impossible to do business.
And what the tariffs are doing is they're driving people
(02:35):
in and companies in into the United States. That's why
we're building all of the work that you see happening
in this country right now, and it's at a record level,
all the factories, all of the AI institutions that are
being built. It's largely because well I think it's because
of November fifth, the good election, and I think it's
because of the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Thank you all very much, thank you, thank you so
the President laying out where going moving forward, which brings
me back to what I said about South Africa and
is now one of fourteen countries that have been slapped
with large tariff increases by President Donald Trump on Monday
as a quote punitive measure for lack of progress in negotiations,
(03:18):
and now they're facing a thirty percent duty. In addition,
South Africa, as one of the Bricks countries, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China,
and South Africa, among others, they could face an additional
ten percent for anti American policies now. Donald Trump, to
be clear, had suspended the imposition of the tariffs that
(03:39):
he announced in April until July ninth, but began sending
letters this week to countries, including close trading partners, that
he felt that there had not been enough that had
gotten done. USA Today reporting it this way, saying, quote
President Donald Trump revealed new tariff rates on fourteen countries
and extended until August one to pause on higher rates
(04:00):
that was due to expire July ninth, and separate July
seventh letters to each targeted country. Trump said he will
impose twenty five percent tariffs on goods from Malaysia, Tunisia, Kazakhstan,
thirty percent tariff rates on imports from South Africa, and
forty percent tariffs from Mirmar and laos Now, products from
(04:23):
Cambodia and Thailand will receive thirty six percent tariffs, while
Serbia and Bangladesh will face a rate of thirty five percent.
Trump and the Indonesian partners would have a They say
imports would have a thirty two percent tariff and goods
from Bosnia would also.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Be tariff at thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Now, Trump's message to South Africa was posted on his
true social side along with letters to other leaders in
other countries. Now, the South African government and the South
African media had largely been complementary of the President in
South africa contentious White House meeting in May, but they
overlooked the fact that the president came without any compromise
(05:06):
to offer, and then he left without achieving any agreements,
which is now putting their trade at real risk.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, South Africa has.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Tweaked the US on foreign policy issues, recently signing a
book of condolence at the Iranian embassy after the US
bombed the country's nuclear site. Again, that's why the President said, oh,
and we're going to slap you with that additional ten
percent anti American policies tariff because clearly you're trying to
(05:37):
undermine this country. Now, I tell you all of that
to go back to how quickly things can change. Trump
has also come out within the last couple hours and
said that the US is actually close to making a
deal with protectionist India. President Trump telling reporters this administration
(05:58):
is close to finalizing a trade deal with India. India
heads it spats last week by notifying the World Trade
Organization KNOWS the WTO that it could impose up to
seven hundred and twenty four million in retaliatory tariffs against
American goods if a trade deal is not reached, so
that would be significant. We are doing better than ever,
(06:20):
is what Trump said to reporters while meeting with the
Israeli Prime Minster net Yai with the White House, saying quote,
We've never had numbers like this, We've never had investment
like this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Referring to bring jobs back.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
To America, Trump said his administration now has more than
ninety trade proposals that are on the table, saying, quote,
now we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, We've
made a deal with China, We're getting close to making
a deal with India. Others we meet with and we
don't think are going to be able to make a deal. Well,
then guess what we just sent them a letter. The
(06:54):
letter in question, Trump said, would cordially invite nations that
did not make a deal to continue doing business with
the greatest, most successful country ever, provided that they are
willing to pay much higher tariffs. We're sending out the
letters to these various countries telling them how much tariffs
they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit,
(07:15):
depending if they have a cause. He went on to explain,
We're not going to be unfair about it, and actually
it's a small fraction compared to what we should be getting.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We should be we could be asking for much more.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The President went on to say, Now, the list of
countries that have received those sorry we couldn't make a
deal with tariff letters, the White House is saying as Thailand, Miramar, Bangladesh,
South Africa, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhshan, and Japan. The new
tariffs that are scheduled to take effect now August one,
So there's still a little time for these countries to
(07:48):
avoid the higher levels by changing their trade policies with
the US. Now, if they do not make a deal,
those fourteen countries, the White House says, will face from
twenty five percent for Japan and South Africa, up to
forty percent for mer mar and Laos, and the President
saying again, we're going to be very busy over the
next seventy two hours. We're going to be sending the
(08:10):
letters out to our trading partners, saying that if you
don't move things along, then on August one, you're going
to be well boomeranging back to your April second tariff levels.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I think we're going to see a lot of
deals very.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Quickly, is what the Treasury Secretary Scott Missent said as
well today. Now, the Indian negotiating team, which returned from
Washington on Friday after a week of meetings with their
US counterparts, reportedly sought a quote mini trade deal that
would be good enough to hold tariffs at bay for
a bit longer until the quote more delicate issues can
(08:43):
be worked out. India, which saw twenty five percent tariffs
impose on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and auto parts in March,
wrote a letter, as I said, a moment ago, to
the WTO claiming that the Trump tariffs violated They said
the ninth teen ninety four trade agreement at the heart
of the World Trade Organization India.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
By the way, calculate the.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
US tariffs would affect nearly two point nine billion worth
of imports the United States for a total of seven
hundred and twenty three point seventy five million in tariffs.
So New Delhi would impose, they say, an equivalent amount
of duty collected from products originating in the United States
of America as their retaliatory tariff.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What does this mean?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Simply put one thing, the present's not backing down and
make it clear you better get a deal done quickly
or face the consequences. All right, I want to move
to another subject real quick. That is also one that
goes back to Democrats. Make it clear they don't respect
our laws in this country. It's very much what I
was just talking about with the FBI, a former FBI
(09:50):
and former CIA director, like they do not respect our laws.
We are now seeing and I guess this is like
the Democrats mayor's union around the country, Chicago mayor coming
out saying the city police won't cooperate with ICE. Now
you got to ask yourself the question why would they
(10:12):
not cooperate with ICE?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It is because they love illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They do not care about their own citizens at all
the Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson getting in with the La
mayor now and said today that again, this is another
example of how.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Psycho the left has become, that the Windy City.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Police will not ever cooperate with immigration copstans enforcement ICE authorities.
You know, again, it's uncomfortable at a time in which
so many working people and poor people in need government
to show up for them, that this administration, the Trump administration,
has caused so much consternation division, is what Johnson said
(10:54):
a press conference. He was responding, by the way, to
a question about whether the city would use the police
department to shield students from federal agents conducting immigration raids
without warrants, saying, quote, look, we are a welcoming city ordnance,
so you are clearly saying come here.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And break the law.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Our local police department will never, ever will not cooperate
with ICE, whatever their concertial authority is. That is obviously
relegated to the Trump administration of our sister agency. City
departments have been thoroughly briefed by a corporate council and
I'll pass it over to her in a second about
what they can and cannot do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Look, Johnson is a Democrat, a hardcore Democrat, and the
murder capital of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He's been a.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Fierce critic of the Republican administration and the use of
ICE to carry out immigration forcement activities, which he says,
we don't do that in Chicago. In June, by the way,
the Chicago Sometimes reported that he urged city residents to
rise up in this moment, again, saying, quote, this is
(12:02):
a necessary fight for all of us to be able
to push back. Johnson said, quote whether we use the
courts or whether we continue to protest and raise our
voices to scent matters in this moment. It's a war
on our culture. So again, we don't have American culture.
We're not a nation. We are some Kumbayah, some culture
(12:22):
of lawbreakers. Right, that's what he's saying we are in
this country. I couldn't disagree with them more. He goes
on to say, it's a war on our democracy. Well,
hold on, democracy is about the rule of law. You
guys are saying, we refuse to respect the rule of law,
and you refuse to respect constitutional law, you refuse to
respect the President of the United States of America. You're
(12:44):
making up your own rules as you go, that's not
a democracy, is it. He goes on to say, it's
a war on our humanity. Tell that to the victims
of a legal immigrants who have committed crimes. Tell that
to the Americans that were under employed because of.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Legal immigrant labor.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
By the way, we're witnessing a massive change right now
and the number of Americans are being hired because there
are legal immigrants that are leaving this country on their
own accordance, having a huge impact for American workers. Another
great example of what they don't want to tell you.
He said, it's a war on our humanity. I'm counting
on all of Chicago to resist in this moment because
(13:26):
whatever particularly vulnerable group is being targeted today, another group
will be next.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
None of us are immune from this disease.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, so if I want law and order, I am
now being referred to as a disease. Now why would
he do that? Well, because he when you have a disease, right,
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You get rid of it? You exterminate it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's very much how Adolf Hitler was talking back in
the day about the Jews. Never forget right, they were
a disease that must be we must get rid of Well,
now the Chicago mayor is referring to Trump supporters this
same way that Adolf Hitler referred to the Jews.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
It's pretty impressive for the Chicago mayor.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Chicago Mayor is also now called on the House Speaker
Mike Johnson to quote speak up about ICE mass deportation operations,
which he is also describing ready for this as terrorism.
So he's defending the people in the MS thirteen gangs
and the gang bangers and the drug dealers, the MS
(14:27):
thirteen guys, and he's saying, because we want law and order,
and because ICE is coming in and trying to restore
law and order and get rid of the worst among us,
especially in the legal immigrant community, we are now terrorists.
And if you're in favor of this, you are a terrorist.
This is terrorism. According to the New York Post, By
(14:50):
the way, more than fifty one thousand legal immigrants have
made their way to Chicago from the southern border since
August thirty first of last year. So just to put
it respective, how many people are going to Chicago and
last week Trump's borders are Tom Homan appeared on Fox
News where he slammed the new app called ICE block
(15:11):
that is reportedly being used to alert people of sightings
of ICE agents. Homan said, quote assault ICE against ICE
agents that were five hundred percent. Now you've got an
app that's going to tell where the ICE operations are going,
to tell me amount of time before the ICE agents
are ambushed by some nut like what happened in La
(15:33):
throwing them out, these these molotov cocktails, throwing bricks at
these officers.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
This is just disgusting at every level.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Now, the scary part about what I just read for
you is what he had to say, and he did
predict the future.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How do we know this? There has been a rise in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Threats which now being reported against federal law enforcement. A
shooter decided to ambush the Texas Border Patrol agents. An
active shooter killed in an attempt to ambush Border patrol
agents in Texas. We also know from another headline that
eleven were arrested for plotting an ambush to kill.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
ICE corrections officers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now let me go back to the story about the
ambush and the border patrol agents in Texas. I want
you to take a listen to Center Mullen praising the
border wall funding and Trump's big, beautiful Bill talking about
how important it is that we get border security, and
then I want you to know about this shooter that
was armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened fire
(16:38):
on Border patrol agents.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They arrived at the Border Patrol Annex.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Facility in McAllen, Texas and the Rio Grand Valley on Monday.
Agents and local police, thank goodness, returned fire and killed
the gunman. No federal agents, by the way, were hit,
but one McCallan police officer was struck. Law enforcement sources
said the officer is in stable condition. Think the lord.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
The official comment.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Was this this morning, an individual opened fire at the
entrance of the United States Border Patrol Sector Annex and McCallan, Texas.
Both Border patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter.
The Department of Homeland Security said and statement quote, this
is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI, and more
information will be shared as it becomes available. Now, law
(17:22):
enforcement believes the attack was a purposeful quote ambush targeting
border patrol officials. Well, the police said they will hold
the news conference and they would tell more when they could.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I want you to hear part of what well.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Tom Homan also had to say about interior enforcement.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
He says is key to border security as.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
All suspects are now in custody after a Texas police
officer was shot in the neck while responding to a
call outside of an ICE facility. So it happened in Alvareto,
which is near Fort Worth. This was over the holiday weekend,
and Jonathan Hunt is following this story for US HI. Jonathan.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Good morning, Dana.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
This old place in the late evening of July fourth,
outside the Prairie Land Detention Center in Alvarado. Police officers
responded to a call about a suspicious person outside the center.
When they arrived, they saw someone who appeared to have
a gun.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
One of the Alvarado officers.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Tried to talk to that person, and at that point
several other people opened fire on the officer, who was
hit in the neck. He was treated at a local
hospital and has since been released. Officers arrested a number
of people at the scene. A motive for the attack
is still being investigated, but the Department of Homeland Security
said a group of more than a dozen people had
(18:39):
slashed tires of federal vehicles and damaged security cameras.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
At the ice facility.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
There was also another attack on an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon,
Friday night, a facility that has been the site of
an ongoing protest for several weeks. Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche wrote on X Saturday morning, quote, we are closely
monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prayerland, Texas
(19:06):
and Portland, Oregon, and are coordinating with the USAOs and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Our law enforcement partners.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers
or property and will bring the full weight of the
law against those responsible.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Now both at tax Daana.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Happened on the day President Trump signed his domestic policy
bill into law, a bill, of course, that includes some
forty five billion dollars to expand the capacity of immigration
detention centers and thirty one billion for ICE operations.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Dana.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, Jonathan Hunt.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
By the way, let's just stop there with that report
for a second. You look at that report and you
listen to it. I think it's pretty clear this is
a coordinated effort nationwide by the radical left to go
after ICE agents to make them feel unsafe. This is
happening on a regular basis. Now we are seeing more
(20:05):
and more headlines of these ICE agents that are being
targeted and attacked. And I think this is another example
of how the left is willing to use violence at
all costs to try to stop things they don't like.
They're used to this type of violence. They got used
to it with a summer of rage. They got used
(20:26):
to it, and now it's like their go to like,
Hey we don't like something, let's burn a city down.
Hey we don't like what's happening with ICE. Let's go
and attack the facilities where the ICE agents go. Let's
make people be afraid to do their jobs. And by
the way, Democratic leadership, I'm going to leave you with
this thought.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Notice how quiet they are on this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
The leadership of the Democratic Party is not out there
condemning these attacks. They're saying nothing. Why because it coming
from within their own party. We are also hearing now
from the White House, and this is a very big
move that should make many of you extremely excited that
now illegal immigrants are barred from head start in other
(21:09):
federal government programs which were clearly enticing them to come
to the United States of America. Immigrants who are in
the country illegally will no longer. The White House said,
be allowed to access the head Start early childhood education
programs so their children, many of them use it as
childcare daycare, as well as other federal programs that you
and I are paying for. The Department of Health and
(21:31):
Human Services, Agriculture, and Labor all came through and said
they have issued notice to the relevant program partners under
their watch to clarify the administration's interpretation of what falls
under federal public benefit. The Wall Street Journal is reporting,
according to the HHS guidelines, people in the United States
(21:52):
of America illegally will be barred not only from sending
their children to head Start, but but will also be
denied access to other program including assistance for the homeless,
Title nine, family planning, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.
Why should we be paying for people to go to
these things outside the United States of America that have
(22:14):
broken into this country now? By discussing the issue, the
Health and Human Services Secretary RFK. Junior said he is
resending an interpretation of the nineteen ninety six Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which improperly extended certain federal
benefits to illegal immigrants. What has happened is now that
(22:36):
is enticing people to come across our borders illegally because
once they get here, they get so much aid from
our government after they break in. While immigrants who do
not have legal status do not qualify for quote most
federal benefits. Many of the programs affected have not been
asking their participants about their immigration status. So that's why
(22:58):
so many illegal immigrants are on food stamps and other
things like that. They qualify them not by asset if
they're in illegal, but through income and quote other verification methods.
That's how the system has become abused and broken. Now
the new policy is set to take effect immediately, an
HHS spokesman said the Department of Agriculture, pointing to guidance
(23:19):
issued in April that sought to prohibit immigrants who are
in the United States illegally from also getting US food stamps,
affirms its position that they quote should not receive government dollars. Again,
it entices people to break our laws. Shortly after taking office,
President Trump directed agencies to identify relevant programs and issued
(23:41):
an executive order to prevent immigrants in the US without
legal permission from getting benefits funded by the taxpayers. This is,
by the way, what I and so many other Americans
actually voted for. And then, in negotiations over the Trump
sponsored megabills signed to law on July fourth, the White
House promise that the president would use more executive actions
(24:02):
aimed at illegal immigration to make sure that your tax
dollars are not going to illegals. Now, I'm in favor
of this. This is why I voted for Trump. This
is why I supported Trump. This is why millions and
millions of Americans voted for Trump. And they shouldn't back
down on this at all. Okay, like this should be
one hundred percent happening period. One hundred percent happening period.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Game over.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Let me also just say one more thing. The left has.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Already started this. They're saying that these moves are gonna
be Republicans. There's going to be hell to pay for
this in the elections, and the kids are gonna die
and people are gonna starve to death. A.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's not gonna happen. B.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
If you can't survive here because you're breaking the laws
and we're calling you out for it, then let me
also say this, you can go back to the country
you came from. If your life is so bad that
you're going to quote unquote starve to death, as Democrats
are going to say, because the American people are not
going to pay for your food when you broke into
our country, then you can go home to the country
(25:06):
that you came from.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That is not meant to be mean. That is the
reality of the situation.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And I am so tired of the left every time
you try to have low ord like, oh, well, someone's
gonna die. People are gonna die, everybody's gonna die. All
the people are gonna die. Everybody's gonna die. Like No,
that's not how this works. We need to have law
and order, and this is what Americans voted for. I'm
not backing down on that, and I hope you're not either.
Let me just remind you of just how many, as
(25:38):
Donald Trump would put it, bad ombres that there are
out there in this country among us because of a
wide open southern border. There was a new warning that
came from Tom Homan on the arrest of an MS thirteen,
not just gang member, but a kingpin in Nebraska. Perez
(25:59):
on else set Salvador's one hundred most wanted list. This
is how bad of a guy this is is one
of those that came into the country illegally. And Tom
Homan reminding people what's happening right now in America. This
is in a border state. It's Nebraska. If you don't
believe me, go look at a damn map and see
where Nebraska is. And if you think that illegal immigrants
(26:20):
are only on the southern border and MS thirteen gang
members and trains zeal Aga gang members are only at
the border, you are wrong. They have set up shop
in every state in America, and Nebraska is a pretty
far distance from the border.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Listen to this all right.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Back to the breaking news that we brought you earlier
this hour, ICE agents arrested an MS thirteen kingpin in Nebraska.
He has now been identified as Melvin Varella Perez.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
He has been on.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
El Salvador's most wanted list for nearly a decade, but
was somehow released into the United States after he crossed
the border illegally in twenty twenty three. Let's bring in
White House borders are Tom Homan. Tom Lebby just put
put up the record here of this guy that somehow
got missed. First of all, here's the mugshot from his
arrest in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, now here is the our
(27:12):
Oma hunter braskepts are. Here is the picture from twenty sixteen.
This was put out by the National Police. He's on
the top one hundred Los one hundred mas Buscados. Then
here's another notice from twenty nineteen looking for the same guy,
and another one from twenty nineteen that was put out
by crime stoppers looking for this guy. And yet somehow
(27:34):
Tom when he came across the border illegally in twenty
twenty three, he was paroled into the country. How in
the world could that have happened.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Well, look, this is just one example of what I've
been saying for the last four years. The Biden administration
lights the American people when they said everybody they released
in the country is property vetted.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
They weren't. No.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I know, first of all, we don't have access to
the countries criminal data. But as you said, this was
the public information and this has been easily found.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But this administration their main focus.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Under Biden administration, Borbito had one directive process quick release
quick because if there's no overcrowding, we can keep claiming
the border secure. And we got control of everything and
they kept lying to the American people. Everybody releases vetted.
I can't tell you how many criminals under the Trump
administration we have arrested and reported that were released in
(28:29):
the country by Joe Biden saying they were vetted. We
have arrested murders, people that wanted they were convicted murdered
other countries. If people had murdered warrants in other countries,
people had sexual assaults in other countries, people had sexual
assaults here that they weren't problem during the betting process
because they weren't vetted.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The last administration lied.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
And that's why we're so busy right now going across
the country trying to.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Find these people.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
All right, so I could go you one better on this.
Melvin Virella Perez. So he was nailed in Omaha with
another guy named Renee esq Bar of Choah. We'll put
his picture up on the screen for you. This guy
had an Interpol red notice against him for drug trafficking
and conspiracy to commit murder. He had an Interpoll notice
(29:13):
against him and that got missed.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
How does that happen?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
In confidence?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
I mean it incomments from last administration, they're directed to
how borbital process and releases with rail proper vetting. And also,
let's remember Ice was told by second TERMI Orchis, you
can't arrest for some of them, and her illegalis they
probably weren't even looking this person unless you had a
serious criminal conviction, not a warrant, not a want, but
(29:39):
a conviction. So look at the last administration, they totally
screwed it up, from releasing people from the border a
non vetting to.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Tying ICE's hands.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
We had a record number ten point five minute illegal
amags come to our border and Joe Biden Ice had
the lowest numbers of arresting movements in the history of
the agency because her hands were tied. And that's why
we're working so hard under President Trump, under his leadership,
we're working so hard written now saying as many teams
out in the community as possible to look for these
criminals that the last administration released in this country.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
And that's why we're so busy right now.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
That's where you see all the teams out in every
major city in the nation.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know, this kills the narrative that so many in
the left in the media are trying to do, is say, oh,
there's no bad people. They're all just good people.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Look.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
ICE agents arresting two more migrants with m as certeen
ties in Nebraska. We're just hearing about right now. The
US Immigration comes in enforcement agents today and I just
got this sentiment. Arrested two alleged members the Amster Team
Game gang and Omaha, Nebraska. They're accused of giving orders
to fellow gang members to commit a variety of crimes,
(30:44):
including multiple homicides, multiple extortion plots, imprisonment, and drug trafficking,
according to the newest release. The ICE release says they
are criminal aliens and there's amiserteen gang members and foreign
terrorists also now wanted in El South.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So it's not just the one guy that you heard about.
There's more.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
ICE did not release the names of the men taken
into CUSSI. The law enforcement agency said these are more
high ranking members who are also on El Salvador's top
one hundred most wanted fugitives. Both of the individuals, they
say are accused of entering the country illegally, according to
the release, saying, these legal aliens didn't just sneak into
(31:24):
our country. They brought with them a legacy of violenced
tearor and death. That is what the ICE hoomand Security
Investigation Special Agents in charge of Kansas City said, saying
this They thought they could hide in America's Hartland, but
they were sadly mistaken. Not on our watch. The rest coming,
by the way, as the Trump administration is ramping up
(31:45):
their efforts to detain immigrants without legal status who have
committed crimes and deter migrants from illegally entering the US.
The effort also has sparked quote unquote backlash and some
sanctuary states and cities where local leaders have pledged to
not cooperate with immigration authorities. It is part of a
(32:07):
mass deportation effort. The Trump administration says that the American
beople voted for it, by the way I did. ICE
officers are ordered by notice of this truth to do
all in their power to achieve the very important goal
of delivering the single largest mass deportation program in history.
That is what President Trump wrote in a post on
(32:27):
True Social So he's not backing.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Down on this at all.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Now, while all this is happening, I'm going to play
something for you that's going to make you laugh. I
was yesterday on Fox Business Channel talking about a movie,
the new Superman movie that's coming out, and the new
Superman movie is all about wokeness. It is all about
saying that Superman, I'm not joking, is an illegal immigrant,
(32:53):
but a do gooder who's just doing good. So therefore,
why should anybody not wanted to be in this country.
I'm not joking. This is actually what they're saying in
the movie. There are scenes about this, like he's like,
but I'm just a good guy doing good things, trying
to imply that only people, the only people that come
across the southern border are good people. Well, I want
you to hear what I had to say on Fox
(33:13):
Business about this new movie and why you shouldn't go
see Superman, because all you're gonna do is be supporting
this liberal crap.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Love the fact that you've got a movie that's coming.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Out that they want everyone to go see that was
made for everyone. But it's just a lecture for a
couple hours on why half the country sucks and we
hate you if you voted for Donald Trump and you
want law and order in America, because remember, no bad
people ever come across the border. Right, He's a good guy.
In his own words, there, superman. I'm a good guy.
(33:46):
What are they trying to do? This is political propaganda
one I want. They're trying to imply that everyone that
comes across the southern border or the northern border is
a good.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Guy and we just love everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Look, I love everyone as long as you're not a rapist,
child molester, you're selling illegal drugs, putting fentanyl into this country. Like,
give me a nice list that I can add to it,
and I'll sing your Kumbaya with you.
Speaker 7 (34:08):
But I can promise you this, there are a.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Lot of people like me that aren't gonna go get
a lecture for two hours from a fake superman from Hollywood.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
So good luck with your movie.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Yeah, well, well said you had thought that after Rachel
Zegler attacked President Trump and his supporters and tainted every
interview with woke ideology, you would think they would learn
from that snow White fiasco.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It earned eighty seven.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Million dollars in the United States two hundred million dollars worldwide,
but it's.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Still felt far short.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
They spend two hundred and sixty nine million dollars building it.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Because they can't help themselves.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
The amount of hatred we just saw this in the
flooding that happened in Texas where I am right now,
where there were people out there that are trying to
politicize everything and saying, well, if you are in that
part of the country.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
They just flooded, you deserve what you got.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That's what a pediature Christian wrote on her on her
own web page about how much she has distained for
MAGA conservative voters. And so as long as Hollywood and
these elite on the left continue to demonize and wish
you will on people because we disagree with them politically,
don't expect me to take it. I'm not gonna give
you my money. I'm not gonna go to your movie.
(35:21):
I hope a bunch of people don't go to this movie.
And you know what the sad part is, even if
this movie and this Superman fells, I'm not sure they're
ever gonna stop dictating and lecturing what they say is
right and anyone else disagrees with them.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Clearly you're an evil person.
Speaker 11 (35:36):
Look, I just want to go to the movies to
be entertained. I don't want your politics like I want
to go to a sporting event. I don't need to
be lectured and have your you know your whatever you
want to do, whatever agenda is. I just want to
be entertained, folks, and you can tell a story.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Yeah, look at the F one movie that just came out.
I went and saw it last night. Guess what, there
was no lecture.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
There was no lecture. By the way, in F one,
there's no immigration. There to if there's no Superman's a
good guy and he's an illegal immigrant. This is where
the Democrats are using Hollywood yet again to try to
change the narrative on everything else.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Share this podcast with your family and your friends wherever
you can, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
The President having a cabinet meeting at the White House
and making it very clear that he is getting tough
and staying tough on tariffs.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'll give you a great example.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
South Africa is now facing a thirty percent US tariff
hike plus a ten percent surcharge for anti American.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Policies, and he's not messing around.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm going to give you more details on that part
in a second, but before we get to that, I
want you to hear the President in his own words
at the cabinet meeting at the White House. And here's
what he said about the letters that we've been sitting
out in the past on tariffs and what we're doing now,
Big bill.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Tariffs.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
What happened to ninety three deals in ninety days.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Oh, we've spoken to everybody.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
We know.
Speaker 7 (00:47):
It's all done.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
I tell you, I tell you, we'll make some deals.
But for the most part, we're going to send a letter.
We're going to say, welcome to the United States, if
you'd like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever.
I mean, we're doing better than ever we have I
don't think, and you're going to see these numbers soon.
We've never had numbers like this. We've never had investment
(01:09):
like this. We have more than ninety. We're going to
have much more than ninety, but most of those are
going to be said to a letter, this is exactly
what I said. Now, we've made a deal with the
United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China, we've made
a deal, we're close to making a deal with India.
Others we met with and we don't think we're going
to be able to make a deal, so we just
send them a letter. If you want to if you
want to play ball, you have to this is what
(01:31):
you have to pay. So we're, as far as I'm concerned,
we're done.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
We're sending out.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they
have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit,
depending if they have a cause. We're not going to
be unfair about it.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
And actually it's a small.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should
be we could be asking for much more, but for
the sake of relationships that we've had with a lot
of really good countries, we're doing the way I do it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
But we could be.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Getting a lot more.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
We could ask for a lot more than what we're
asking for.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You were sending the letters to follow on the head
and ask earlier your counties has deals by saying here's.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
The teractery I'm saying here it is congratulations, welcome to
the United States. I hope you make a lot of money,
and you're going to pay us money. They were ripping us.
They were charging US tariffs at levels that nobody's ever
seen before. We have some countries who are charging two
hundred percent tariffs and making it impossible to do business.
And what the tariffs are doing is they're driving people
(02:35):
in and companies in into the United States. That's why
we're building all of the work that you see happening
in this country right now, and it's at a record level,
all the factories, all of the AI institutions that are
being built. It's largely because well I think it's because
of November fifth, the good election, and I think it's
because of the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Thank you all very much, thank you, thank you so
the President laying out where going moving forward, which brings
me back to what I said about South Africa and
is now one of fourteen countries that have been slapped
with large tariff increases by President Donald Trump on Monday
as a quote punitive measure for lack of progress in negotiations,
(03:18):
and now they're facing a thirty percent duty. In addition,
South Africa, as one of the Bricks countries, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China,
and South Africa, among others, they could face an additional
ten percent for anti American policies now. Donald Trump, to
be clear, had suspended the imposition of the tariffs that
(03:39):
he announced in April until July ninth, but began sending
letters this week to countries, including close trading partners, that
he felt that there had not been enough that had
gotten done. USA Today reporting it this way, saying, quote
President Donald Trump revealed new tariff rates on fourteen countries
and extended until August one to pause on higher rates
(04:00):
that was due to expire July ninth, and separate July
seventh letters to each targeted country. Trump said he will
impose twenty five percent tariffs on goods from Malaysia, Tunisia, Kazakhstan,
thirty percent tariff rates on imports from South Africa, and
forty percent tariffs from Mirmar and laos Now, products from
(04:23):
Cambodia and Thailand will receive thirty six percent tariffs, while
Serbia and Bangladesh will face a rate of thirty five percent.
Trump and the Indonesian partners would have a They say
imports would have a thirty two percent tariff and goods
from Bosnia would also.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Be tariff at thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Now, Trump's message to South Africa was posted on his
true social side along with letters to other leaders in
other countries. Now, the South African government and the South
African media had largely been complementary of the President in
South africa contentious White House meeting in May, but they
overlooked the fact that the president came without any compromise
(05:06):
to offer, and then he left without achieving any agreements,
which is now putting their trade at real risk.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, South Africa has.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Tweaked the US on foreign policy issues, recently signing a
book of condolence at the Iranian embassy after the US
bombed the country's nuclear site. Again, that's why the President said, oh,
and we're going to slap you with that additional ten
percent anti American policies tariff because clearly you're trying to
(05:37):
undermine this country. Now, I tell you all of that
to go back to how quickly things can change. Trump
has also come out within the last couple hours and
said that the US is actually close to making a
deal with protectionist India. President Trump telling reporters this administration
(05:58):
is close to finalizing a trade deal with India. India
heads it spats last week by notifying the World Trade
Organization KNOWS the WTO that it could impose up to
seven hundred and twenty four million in retaliatory tariffs against
American goods if a trade deal is not reached, so
that would be significant. We are doing better than ever,
(06:20):
is what Trump said to reporters while meeting with the
Israeli Prime Minster net Yai with the White House, saying quote,
We've never had numbers like this, We've never had investment
like this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Referring to bring jobs back.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
To America, Trump said his administration now has more than
ninety trade proposals that are on the table, saying, quote,
now we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, We've
made a deal with China, We're getting close to making
a deal with India. Others we meet with and we
don't think are going to be able to make a deal. Well,
then guess what we just sent them a letter. The
(06:54):
letter in question, Trump said, would cordially invite nations that
did not make a deal to continue doing business with
the greatest, most successful country ever, provided that they are
willing to pay much higher tariffs. We're sending out the
letters to these various countries telling them how much tariffs
they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit,
(07:15):
depending if they have a cause. He went on to explain,
We're not going to be unfair about it, and actually
it's a small fraction compared to what we should be getting.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We should be we could be asking for much more.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The President went on to say, Now, the list of
countries that have received those sorry we couldn't make a
deal with tariff letters, the White House is saying as Thailand, Miramar, Bangladesh,
South Africa, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhshan, and Japan. The new
tariffs that are scheduled to take effect now August one,
So there's still a little time for these countries to
(07:48):
avoid the higher levels by changing their trade policies with
the US. Now, if they do not make a deal,
those fourteen countries, the White House says, will face from
twenty five percent for Japan and South Africa, up to
forty percent for mer mar and Laos, and the President
saying again, we're going to be very busy over the
next seventy two hours. We're going to be sending the
(08:10):
letters out to our trading partners, saying that if you
don't move things along, then on August one, you're going
to be well boomeranging back to your April second tariff levels.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I think we're going to see a lot of
deals very.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Quickly, is what the Treasury Secretary Scott Missent said as
well today. Now, the Indian negotiating team, which returned from
Washington on Friday after a week of meetings with their
US counterparts, reportedly sought a quote mini trade deal that
would be good enough to hold tariffs at bay for
a bit longer until the quote more delicate issues can
(08:43):
be worked out. India, which saw twenty five percent tariffs
impose on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and auto parts in March,
wrote a letter, as I said, a moment ago, to
the WTO claiming that the Trump tariffs violated They said
the ninth teen ninety four trade agreement at the heart
of the World Trade Organization India.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
By the way, calculate the.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
US tariffs would affect nearly two point nine billion worth
of imports the United States for a total of seven
hundred and twenty three point seventy five million in tariffs.
So New Delhi would impose, they say, an equivalent amount
of duty collected from products originating in the United States
of America as their retaliatory tariff.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What does this mean?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Simply put one thing, the present's not backing down and
make it clear you better get a deal done quickly
or face the consequences. All right, I want to move
to another subject real quick. That is also one that
goes back to Democrats. Make it clear they don't respect
our laws in this country. It's very much what I
was just talking about with the FBI, a former FBI
(09:50):
and former CIA director, like they do not respect our laws.
We are now seeing and I guess this is like
the Democrats mayor's union around the country, Chicago mayor coming
out saying the city police won't cooperate with ICE. Now
you got to ask yourself the question why would they
(10:12):
not cooperate with ICE?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It is because they love illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They do not care about their own citizens at all
the Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson getting in with the La
mayor now and said today that again, this is another
example of how.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Psycho the left has become, that the Windy City.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Police will not ever cooperate with immigration copstans enforcement ICE authorities.
You know, again, it's uncomfortable at a time in which
so many working people and poor people in need government
to show up for them, that this administration, the Trump administration,
has caused so much consternation division, is what Johnson said
(10:54):
a press conference. He was responding, by the way, to
a question about whether the city would use the police
department to shield students from federal agents conducting immigration raids
without warrants, saying, quote, look, we are a welcoming city ordnance,
so you are clearly saying come here.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And break the law.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Our local police department will never, ever will not cooperate
with ICE, whatever their concertial authority is. That is obviously
relegated to the Trump administration of our sister agency. City
departments have been thoroughly briefed by a corporate council and
I'll pass it over to her in a second about
what they can and cannot do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Look, Johnson is a Democrat, a hardcore Democrat, and the
murder capital of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He's been a.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Fierce critic of the Republican administration and the use of
ICE to carry out immigration forcement activities, which he says,
we don't do that in Chicago. In June, by the way,
the Chicago Sometimes reported that he urged city residents to
rise up in this moment, again, saying, quote, this is
(12:02):
a necessary fight for all of us to be able
to push back. Johnson said, quote whether we use the
courts or whether we continue to protest and raise our
voices to scent matters in this moment. It's a war
on our culture. So again, we don't have American culture.
We're not a nation. We are some Kumbayah, some culture
(12:22):
of lawbreakers. Right, that's what he's saying we are in
this country. I couldn't disagree with them more. He goes
on to say, it's a war on our democracy. Well,
hold on, democracy is about the rule of law. You
guys are saying, we refuse to respect the rule of law,
and you refuse to respect constitutional law, you refuse to
respect the President of the United States of America. You're
(12:44):
making up your own rules as you go, that's not
a democracy, is it. He goes on to say, it's
a war on our humanity. Tell that to the victims
of a legal immigrants who have committed crimes. Tell that
to the Americans that were under employed because of.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Legal immigrant labor.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
By the way, we're witnessing a massive change right now
and the number of Americans are being hired because there
are legal immigrants that are leaving this country on their
own accordance, having a huge impact for American workers. Another
great example of what they don't want to tell you.
He said, it's a war on our humanity. I'm counting
on all of Chicago to resist in this moment because
(13:26):
whatever particularly vulnerable group is being targeted today, another group
will be next.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
None of us are immune from this disease.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, so if I want law and order, I am
now being referred to as a disease. Now why would
he do that? Well, because he when you have a disease, right,
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You get rid of it? You exterminate it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's very much how Adolf Hitler was talking back in
the day about the Jews. Never forget right, they were
a disease that must be we must get rid of Well,
now the Chicago mayor is referring to Trump supporters this
same way that Adolf Hitler referred to the Jews.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
It's pretty impressive for the Chicago mayor.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Chicago Mayor is also now called on the House Speaker
Mike Johnson to quote speak up about ICE mass deportation operations,
which he is also describing ready for this as terrorism.
So he's defending the people in the MS thirteen gangs
and the gang bangers and the drug dealers, the MS
(14:27):
thirteen guys, and he's saying, because we want law and order,
and because ICE is coming in and trying to restore
law and order and get rid of the worst among us,
especially in the legal immigrant community, we are now terrorists.
And if you're in favor of this, you are a terrorist.
This is terrorism. According to the New York Post, By
(14:50):
the way, more than fifty one thousand legal immigrants have
made their way to Chicago from the southern border since
August thirty first of last year. So just to put
it respective, how many people are going to Chicago and
last week Trump's borders are Tom Homan appeared on Fox
News where he slammed the new app called ICE block
(15:11):
that is reportedly being used to alert people of sightings
of ICE agents. Homan said, quote assault ICE against ICE
agents that were five hundred percent. Now you've got an
app that's going to tell where the ICE operations are going,
to tell me amount of time before the ICE agents
are ambushed by some nut like what happened in La
(15:33):
throwing them out, these these molotov cocktails, throwing bricks at
these officers.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
This is just disgusting at every level.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Now, the scary part about what I just read for
you is what he had to say, and he did
predict the future.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How do we know this? There has been a rise in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Threats which now being reported against federal law enforcement. A
shooter decided to ambush the Texas Border Patrol agents. An
active shooter killed in an attempt to ambush Border patrol
agents in Texas. We also know from another headline that
eleven were arrested for plotting an ambush to kill.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
ICE corrections officers.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now let me go back to the story about the
ambush and the border patrol agents in Texas. I want
you to take a listen to Center Mullen praising the
border wall funding and Trump's big, beautiful Bill talking about
how important it is that we get border security, and
then I want you to know about this shooter that
was armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened fire
(16:38):
on Border patrol agents.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They arrived at the Border Patrol Annex.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Facility in McAllen, Texas and the Rio Grand Valley on Monday.
Agents and local police, thank goodness, returned fire and killed
the gunman. No federal agents, by the way, were hit,
but one McCallan police officer was struck. Law enforcement sources
said the officer is in stable condition. Think the lord.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
The official comment.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Was this this morning, an individual opened fire at the
entrance of the United States Border Patrol Sector Annex and McCallan, Texas.
Both Border patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter.
The Department of Homeland Security said and statement quote, this
is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI, and more
information will be shared as it becomes available. Now, law
(17:22):
enforcement believes the attack was a purposeful quote ambush targeting
border patrol officials. Well, the police said they will hold
the news conference and they would tell more when they could.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I want you to hear part of what well.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Tom Homan also had to say about interior enforcement.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
He says is key to border security as.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
All suspects are now in custody after a Texas police
officer was shot in the neck while responding to a
call outside of an ICE facility. So it happened in Alvareto,
which is near Fort Worth. This was over the holiday weekend,
and Jonathan Hunt is following this story for US HI. Jonathan.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Good morning, Dana.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
This old place in the late evening of July fourth,
outside the Prairie Land Detention Center in Alvarado. Police officers
responded to a call about a suspicious person outside the center.
When they arrived, they saw someone who appeared to have
a gun.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
One of the Alvarado officers.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Tried to talk to that person, and at that point
several other people opened fire on the officer, who was
hit in the neck. He was treated at a local
hospital and has since been released. Officers arrested a number
of people at the scene. A motive for the attack
is still being investigated, but the Department of Homeland Security
said a group of more than a dozen people had
(18:39):
slashed tires of federal vehicles and damaged security cameras.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
At the ice facility.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
There was also another attack on an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon,
Friday night, a facility that has been the site of
an ongoing protest for several weeks. Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche wrote on X Saturday morning, quote, we are closely
monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prayerland, Texas
(19:06):
and Portland, Oregon, and are coordinating with the USAOs and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Our law enforcement partners.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers
or property and will bring the full weight of the
law against those responsible.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Now both at tax Daana.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Happened on the day President Trump signed his domestic policy
bill into law, a bill, of course, that includes some
forty five billion dollars to expand the capacity of immigration
detention centers and thirty one billion for ICE operations.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Dana.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All right, Jonathan Hunt.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
By the way, let's just stop there with that report
for a second. You look at that report and you
listen to it. I think it's pretty clear this is
a coordinated effort nationwide by the radical left to go
after ICE agents to make them feel unsafe. This is
happening on a regular basis. Now we are seeing more
(20:05):
and more headlines of these ICE agents that are being
targeted and attacked. And I think this is another example
of how the left is willing to use violence at
all costs to try to stop things they don't like.
They're used to this type of violence. They got used
to it with a summer of rage. They got used
(20:26):
to it, and now it's like their go to like,
Hey we don't like something, let's burn a city down.
Hey we don't like what's happening with ICE. Let's go
and attack the facilities where the ICE agents go. Let's
make people be afraid to do their jobs. And by
the way, Democratic leadership, I'm going to leave you with
this thought.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Notice how quiet they are on this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
The leadership of the Democratic Party is not out there
condemning these attacks. They're saying nothing. Why because it coming
from within their own party. We are also hearing now
from the White House, and this is a very big
move that should make many of you extremely excited that
now illegal immigrants are barred from head start in other
(21:09):
federal government programs which were clearly enticing them to come
to the United States of America. Immigrants who are in
the country illegally will no longer. The White House said,
be allowed to access the head Start early childhood education
programs so their children, many of them use it as
childcare daycare, as well as other federal programs that you
and I are paying for. The Department of Health and
(21:31):
Human Services, Agriculture, and Labor all came through and said
they have issued notice to the relevant program partners under
their watch to clarify the administration's interpretation of what falls
under federal public benefit. The Wall Street Journal is reporting,
according to the HHS guidelines, people in the United States
(21:52):
of America illegally will be barred not only from sending
their children to head Start, but but will also be
denied access to other program including assistance for the homeless,
Title nine, family planning, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.
Why should we be paying for people to go to
these things outside the United States of America that have
(22:14):
broken into this country now? By discussing the issue, the
Health and Human Services Secretary RFK. Junior said he is
resending an interpretation of the nineteen ninety six Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which improperly extended certain federal
benefits to illegal immigrants. What has happened is now that
(22:36):
is enticing people to come across our borders illegally because
once they get here, they get so much aid from
our government after they break in. While immigrants who do
not have legal status do not qualify for quote most
federal benefits. Many of the programs affected have not been
asking their participants about their immigration status. So that's why
(22:58):
so many illegal immigrants are on food stamps and other
things like that. They qualify them not by asset if
they're in illegal, but through income and quote other verification methods.
That's how the system has become abused and broken. Now
the new policy is set to take effect immediately, an
HHS spokesman said the Department of Agriculture, pointing to guidance
(23:19):
issued in April that sought to prohibit immigrants who are
in the United States illegally from also getting US food stamps,
affirms its position that they quote should not receive government dollars. Again,
it entices people to break our laws. Shortly after taking office,
President Trump directed agencies to identify relevant programs and issued
(23:41):
an executive order to prevent immigrants in the US without
legal permission from getting benefits funded by the taxpayers. This is,
by the way, what I and so many other Americans
actually voted for. And then, in negotiations over the Trump
sponsored megabills signed to law on July fourth, the White
House promise that the president would use more executive actions
(24:02):
aimed at illegal immigration to make sure that your tax
dollars are not going to illegals. Now, I'm in favor
of this. This is why I voted for Trump. This
is why I supported Trump. This is why millions and
millions of Americans voted for Trump. And they shouldn't back
down on this at all. Okay, like this should be
one hundred percent happening period. One hundred percent happening period.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Game over.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Let me also just say one more thing. The left has.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Already started this. They're saying that these moves are gonna
be Republicans. There's going to be hell to pay for
this in the elections, and the kids are gonna die
and people are gonna starve to death. A.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's not gonna happen. B.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
If you can't survive here because you're breaking the laws
and we're calling you out for it, then let me
also say this, you can go back to the country
you came from. If your life is so bad that
you're going to quote unquote starve to death, as Democrats
are going to say, because the American people are not
going to pay for your food when you broke into
our country, then you can go home to the country
(25:06):
that you came from.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That is not meant to be mean. That is the
reality of the situation.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And I am so tired of the left every time
you try to have low ord like, oh, well, someone's
gonna die. People are gonna die, everybody's gonna die. All
the people are gonna die. Everybody's gonna die. Like No,
that's not how this works. We need to have law
and order, and this is what Americans voted for. I'm
not backing down on that, and I hope you're not either.
Let me just remind you of just how many, as
(25:38):
Donald Trump would put it, bad ombres that there are
out there in this country among us because of a
wide open southern border. There was a new warning that
came from Tom Homan on the arrest of an MS thirteen,
not just gang member, but a kingpin in Nebraska. Perez
(25:59):
on else set Salvador's one hundred most wanted list. This
is how bad of a guy this is is one
of those that came into the country illegally. And Tom
Homan reminding people what's happening right now in America. This
is in a border state. It's Nebraska. If you don't
believe me, go look at a damn map and see
where Nebraska is. And if you think that illegal immigrants
(26:20):
are only on the southern border and MS thirteen gang
members and trains zeal Aga gang members are only at
the border, you are wrong. They have set up shop
in every state in America, and Nebraska is a pretty
far distance from the border.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Listen to this all right.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Back to the breaking news that we brought you earlier
this hour, ICE agents arrested an MS thirteen kingpin in Nebraska.
He has now been identified as Melvin Varella Perez.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
He has been on.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
El Salvador's most wanted list for nearly a decade, but
was somehow released into the United States after he crossed
the border illegally in twenty twenty three. Let's bring in
White House borders are Tom Homan. Tom Lebby just put
put up the record here of this guy that somehow
got missed. First of all, here's the mugshot from his
arrest in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, now here is the our
(27:12):
Oma hunter braskepts are. Here is the picture from twenty sixteen.
This was put out by the National Police. He's on
the top one hundred Los one hundred mas Buscados. Then
here's another notice from twenty nineteen looking for the same guy,
and another one from twenty nineteen that was put out
by crime stoppers looking for this guy. And yet somehow
(27:34):
Tom when he came across the border illegally in twenty
twenty three, he was paroled into the country. How in
the world could that have happened.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Well, look, this is just one example of what I've
been saying for the last four years. The Biden administration
lights the American people when they said everybody they released
in the country is property vetted.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
They weren't. No.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I know, first of all, we don't have access to
the countries criminal data. But as you said, this was
the public information and this has been easily found.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
But this administration their main focus.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Under Biden administration, Borbito had one directive process quick release
quick because if there's no overcrowding, we can keep claiming
the border secure. And we got control of everything and
they kept lying to the American people. Everybody releases vetted.
I can't tell you how many criminals under the Trump
administration we have arrested and reported that were released in
(28:29):
the country by Joe Biden saying they were vetted. We
have arrested murders, people that wanted they were convicted murdered
other countries. If people had murdered warrants in other countries,
people had sexual assaults in other countries, people had sexual
assaults here that they weren't problem during the betting process
because they weren't vetted.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The last administration lied.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
And that's why we're so busy right now going across
the country trying to.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Find these people.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
All right, so I could go you one better on this.
Melvin Virella Perez. So he was nailed in Omaha with
another guy named Renee esq Bar of Choah. We'll put
his picture up on the screen for you. This guy
had an Interpol red notice against him for drug trafficking
and conspiracy to commit murder. He had an Interpoll notice
(29:13):
against him and that got missed.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
How does that happen?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
In confidence?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
I mean it incomments from last administration, they're directed to
how borbital process and releases with rail proper vetting. And also,
let's remember Ice was told by second TERMI Orchis, you
can't arrest for some of them, and her illegalis they
probably weren't even looking this person unless you had a
serious criminal conviction, not a warrant, not a want, but
(29:39):
a conviction. So look at the last administration, they totally
screwed it up, from releasing people from the border a
non vetting to.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Tying ICE's hands.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
We had a record number ten point five minute illegal
amags come to our border and Joe Biden Ice had
the lowest numbers of arresting movements in the history of
the agency because her hands were tied. And that's why
we're working so hard under President Trump, under his leadership,
we're working so hard written now saying as many teams
out in the community as possible to look for these
criminals that the last administration released in this country.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
And that's why we're so busy right now.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
That's where you see all the teams out in every
major city in the nation.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know, this kills the narrative that so many in
the left in the media are trying to do, is say, oh,
there's no bad people. They're all just good people.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Look.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
ICE agents arresting two more migrants with m as certeen
ties in Nebraska. We're just hearing about right now. The
US Immigration comes in enforcement agents today and I just
got this sentiment. Arrested two alleged members the Amster Team
Game gang and Omaha, Nebraska. They're accused of giving orders
to fellow gang members to commit a variety of crimes,
(30:44):
including multiple homicides, multiple extortion plots, imprisonment, and drug trafficking,
according to the newest release. The ICE release says they
are criminal aliens and there's amiserteen gang members and foreign
terrorists also now wanted in El South.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So it's not just the one guy that you heard about.
There's more.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
ICE did not release the names of the men taken
into CUSSI. The law enforcement agency said these are more
high ranking members who are also on El Salvador's top
one hundred most wanted fugitives. Both of the individuals, they
say are accused of entering the country illegally, according to
the release, saying, these legal aliens didn't just sneak into
(31:24):
our country. They brought with them a legacy of violenced
tearor and death. That is what the ICE hoomand Security
Investigation Special Agents in charge of Kansas City said, saying
this They thought they could hide in America's Hartland, but
they were sadly mistaken. Not on our watch. The rest coming,
by the way, as the Trump administration is ramping up
(31:45):
their efforts to detain immigrants without legal status who have
committed crimes and deter migrants from illegally entering the US.
The effort also has sparked quote unquote backlash and some
sanctuary states and cities where local leaders have pledged to
not cooperate with immigration authorities. It is part of a
(32:07):
mass deportation effort. The Trump administration says that the American
beople voted for it, by the way I did. ICE
officers are ordered by notice of this truth to do
all in their power to achieve the very important goal
of delivering the single largest mass deportation program in history.
That is what President Trump wrote in a post on
(32:27):
True Social So he's not backing.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Down on this at all.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Now, while all this is happening, I'm going to play
something for you that's going to make you laugh. I
was yesterday on Fox Business Channel talking about a movie,
the new Superman movie that's coming out, and the new
Superman movie is all about wokeness. It is all about
saying that Superman, I'm not joking, is an illegal immigrant,
(32:53):
but a do gooder who's just doing good. So therefore,
why should anybody not wanted to be in this country.
I'm not joking. This is actually what they're saying in
the movie. There are scenes about this, like he's like,
but I'm just a good guy doing good things, trying
to imply that only people, the only people that come
across the southern border are good people. Well, I want
you to hear what I had to say on Fox
(33:13):
Business about this new movie and why you shouldn't go
see Superman, because all you're gonna do is be supporting
this liberal crap.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Love the fact that you've got a movie that's coming.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Out that they want everyone to go see that was
made for everyone. But it's just a lecture for a
couple hours on why half the country sucks and we
hate you if you voted for Donald Trump and you
want law and order in America, because remember, no bad
people ever come across the border. Right, He's a good guy.
In his own words, there, superman. I'm a good guy.
(33:46):
What are they trying to do? This is political propaganda
one I want. They're trying to imply that everyone that
comes across the southern border or the northern border is
a good.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Guy and we just love everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Look, I love everyone as long as you're not a rapist,
child molester, you're selling illegal drugs, putting fentanyl into this country. Like,
give me a nice list that I can add to it,
and I'll sing your Kumbaya with you.
Speaker 7 (34:08):
But I can promise you this, there are a.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Lot of people like me that aren't gonna go get
a lecture for two hours from a fake superman from Hollywood.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
So good luck with your movie.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Yeah, well, well said you had thought that after Rachel
Zegler attacked President Trump and his supporters and tainted every
interview with woke ideology, you would think they would learn
from that snow White fiasco.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It earned eighty seven.
Speaker 11 (34:33):
Million dollars in the United States two hundred million dollars worldwide,
but it's.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Still felt far short.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
They spend two hundred and sixty nine million dollars building it.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Because they can't help themselves.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
The amount of hatred we just saw this in the
flooding that happened in Texas where I am right now,
where there were people out there that are trying to
politicize everything and saying, well, if you are in that
part of the country.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
They just flooded, you deserve what you got.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That's what a pediature Christian wrote on her on her
own web page about how much she has distained for
MAGA conservative voters. And so as long as Hollywood and
these elite on the left continue to demonize and wish
you will on people because we disagree with them politically,
don't expect me to take it. I'm not gonna give
you my money. I'm not gonna go to your movie.
(35:21):
I hope a bunch of people don't go to this movie.
And you know what the sad part is, even if
this movie and this Superman fells, I'm not sure they're
ever gonna stop dictating and lecturing what they say is
right and anyone else disagrees with them.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Clearly you're an evil person.
Speaker 11 (35:36):
Look, I just want to go to the movies to
be entertained. I don't want your politics like I want
to go to a sporting event. I don't need to
be lectured and have your you know your whatever you
want to do, whatever agenda is. I just want to
be entertained, folks, and you can tell a story.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Yeah, look at the F one movie that just came out.
I went and saw it last night. Guess what, there
was no lecture.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
There was no lecture. By the way, in F one,
there's no immigration. There to if there's no Superman's a
good guy and he's an illegal immigrant. This is where
the Democrats are using Hollywood yet again to try to
change the narrative on everything else.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Share this podcast with your family and your friends wherever
you can, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
