Speaker 1 (00:01):
Latin Americans has got a lot of cartels, They've got
a lot of drugs flowing. So you know, we want
to protect our country. We have to protect our country.
We haven't been doing it for four years, so you
know we're playing a tough game. But we'll have more
to say about that soon.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Good Wednesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got three big
stories for you. First up, more than one hundred thousand
Americans have said we want to work for the President
and be ice agents. That's right. Nationwide, more than one
hundred thousand Americans have applied for just ten thousand jobs.
(00:41):
I'll give you the details on how big of a
deal that is in just a moment plus, in a
major move by the White House, it now looks like
it's time to hold the cartels accountable for what they've
been doing and torturing, killing, and overdosing American citizens. President
has designated them as terrorist organizations. And now how the
President is fighting back in Mexico out of nowhere, decides
(01:04):
to extradit twenty six top cartel leaders to the US
all because of Donald Trump putting America first. How safe
is this going to make America? I'll explain it as well.
And finally, Adam Schiff in big trouble, new accusations coming
out from a Democrat that he purposely leaked classified information
(01:26):
to undermine and overthrow the Trump presidency. Back in two
thousand and seventeen. It's the forty seven Morning Update and
it starts right now.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Story number one.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Donald Trump has done something that's truly incredible, allow law
enforcement to do their jobs, and now Americans are signing
up in record numbers to get in on law and order.
We now have found out that over one hundred thousand
Americans have submitted applications for jobs at the US Immigration
and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, following the launch of
(02:00):
a Department of Homelanned Security hiring campaign in late July.
The Trump administration initiatives seeks to add ten thousand more
ICE personnel. Because of the tens of millions of illegal
immigrants that are in this country, ICE agents are needed,
and now they're offering major perks as well and even
easing some of the qualification restrictions to make sure that
(02:21):
we get incredible people that are willing to work within ICE.
This is one of the best parts of all of
what Donald Trump has done. In a statement, the Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes stress the significance of
the hiring push, saying quote, this is a defining moment
in our nation's history. Your skills, your experience, and your
courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend
(02:44):
the homeland. No emphasize that ICE agents are responsible for
deporting the worst of the worst criminals from the United
States of America. To draw in applicants, ICE is providing
sign on bonuses as high as fifty thousand dollars, along
with programs for re paying or for giving student loans
and additional perks. This hiring campaign occurs amid DHS statistics
(03:07):
showing an eight hundred and thirty percent surge in attacks
on ICE agents, a number that no medicated has now
climbed to one thousand percent because the radical left demonizing
law and order. The acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has
drawn also attention to the difficulties ICE agents are enduring
(03:28):
and encountering in the public because of the open border
policies of the former Biden Harris government. The dedicated men
and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges and removing
millions of criminal legal aliens from our country, and that's
exactly why they're trying to hire ten thousand new individuals now.
The ICE hiring portal features various positions such as deportation officer,
(03:53):
criminal investigator, and general attorney, and it also clearly responds
to the occupational hazard. It's noting that agents are quote
expertly trained and that all possible measures are implemented to
protect them. Every candidate for law enforcement position will be
subject to health evaluations, substance screenings, and fitness tests during
(04:13):
the recruitment. This is exactly why they've received more than
one hundred thousand applicants, because so many people are willing
to fight to protect this country when they know the
commander in chief is backing them up. And that's exactly
what you're getting from President Trump. Next story number two,
I want to take you back to February of this
year and something big happen at the White House. The
(04:34):
Trump administration designated several major drug cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel,
MS thirteen and others as quote global terrorists organizations. Well,
now we know more about why that decision was made.
Donald Trump's executive authority has now been used and has
signed a directive empowering the Pentagon to prepare military options
(04:58):
on land and its see against Latin American drug cartels
that have been designated as quote foreign terrorists organizations. Preparedness
and non immediate action is what this is really all about.
Military plans are being drawn up, we're being told now,
including special forces, intelligence operations, naval operations, and surveillance. The
(05:23):
threshold for actual deployment has not been crossed yet. No
ground operations, we've been told, are imminent. But Mexico is
already responding to this. In fact, today Mexico extradited twenty
six top cartel leaders to the US and a Trump
administration deal. The transfer comes ahead of a twenty five
(05:46):
percent tariff on Mexican goods imposed by President Trump. Mexico
handing over these twenty six top cartel leaders in the United
States of America this week is massive. It's something that
Biden never even tried to do or Obama. The cartel
figures were scheduled to fly the US on Tuesday. We
were being told by reporters today is the latest example
(06:08):
of the Trump administration's historic effort to dismantle cartels and
foreign terrorist organizations. That's what Attorney General Pam Bondi said
to Fox News, saying, quote, these twenty six men have
all played a role in bringing violence and drugs to
American chores. Under the Department of Justice, they will face
severe consequences for their crimes against his country, and we're
(06:31):
grateful to the President of Mexico and the Mexican government
for their collaboration in this matter. Now, one of the
twenty six cartel members that was turned over the US
is a man that was wanted. His name was Gonzales Vallecina.
He was a leader of one of the top Mexican
cartels and he also is accused of participating in the
two thousand and eight killing of a Los Angeles sheriff deputy.
(06:55):
He's one of those that is among the twenty six
that are being handed over to the US. The Trump administration,
by the way, has classified that cartel, the CJNG, as
a terrorist organization. Mexico's Attorney General's office and the Security
Ministry confirmed the men were being handed over, saying the
deal was made after the US Justice Department said it
(07:16):
wouldn't seek the death penalty for any of the men.
The deal comes amid the Trump administration's focus on border security,
an attempt to crack down on Mexican cartels that's in
drugs across the border. President Trump's top priority is protecting
the homeland, which is why it took the bold steps
to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorists organizations.
(07:39):
That's what the Deputy White House Press secretary said today
in a statement that was released Mexican president on Friday,
so the US military would not be entering Mexican territory
following reports that Washington could take action to combat the cartels, saying, quote,
we co operate, we collaborate, but there is not going
to be an invasion. It's off the table, absolutely off
(08:03):
the table, quote unquote, Which brings me back to the
White House. I want you to take a listen to
part of what was said about what the present is
planning to do and how serious he is about combating
these terrorists. Here he is, in his own words, You were.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Talking about sending military forces to fight against the drug
cartels in Latin America. Do you think it's worth sending
our forces or US forces there to take this.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
On cartels where Central Latin America. Latin America's got a
lot of cartels, They've got a lot of drugs flowing. So,
you know, we want to protect our country. We have
to protect our country. We haven't been doing it for
four years. And we love this country like they love
their countries. We have to protect our country. So you know,
we're playing a tough game. But we'll have more to
(08:50):
say about that soon.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We'll have more to say about that soon. Clearly, the
President United States of America not messing around when it
comes to protecting the homeland. And here is number three
in a bombshell report. A Democratic whistleblower has come forward,
a long time staffer on the House Intelligence Committee and
told the FBI back in December of twenty seventeen, during
(09:15):
Donald Trump's first year in office, that then Representative Adam
Shift authorized the leaking of classified information during the Russia
Gate investigation to discredit President Donald Trump, believing that he
would be appointed CIA director under a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.
(09:37):
In meetings, Adam Shift allegedly stated the leaks would be
used to indict President Trump. When the whistleblower objected, others
reportedly reassured him that they would not quote be caught.
The whistleblower described a system where sense of material was
funneled to Shift and then selectively leaked to the press.
(10:00):
One document allegedly seen by a small group including Shift
and Representative Eric swallwell you remember the congressman that was
literally sleeping with a Chinese spy, was leaked almost verbatim
within a day. The whistle blower labeled these actions unethical
and potentially treason US and sought FBI involvement, though the
(10:23):
Department of Justice reportedly declined to pursue the investigation further.
The White House Press secretary calling the report a bombshell,
signing the newly released FBI documentation about the whistleblower's account.
Here's more of what Caroline Levitt had to say when
she was asked about it in the White House briefing room.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Okay, thanks Caroline. My question involves Russia Gate. A whistleblower
alleged that Congressman Adam Shift approved leaking classified information to
smear President Trump's image during the Russia guse scandal because
the president planned to investigate Adam shift and what would
accountability look like if more.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Information confirms The President has already said he wants to
see Adam Shiff held accountable for the countless lies he
told the American people in relation to the Russia Gate scandal.
I brought Tulsea Gabbert out to this podium to talk
to you about all of that, and this administration is
taking accountability very seriously. As for this new FBI whistleblower report,
I understand cash Ptel last night declassified a three h
(11:22):
two FBI document showing that a whistle blower who is
a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats
on the House Intel Committee for more than a decade,
repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen that then Rep.
Adams Shiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then
(11:42):
President Donald Trump over the Russia Gate scandal. This is
obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people in this
room will cover it as such. And I have a
quote from the FBI director for all of you. He
has said this for years to certain officials use their
positions to selectively leak classified in information to shape political narratives.
(12:02):
It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on,
(12:22):
and hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
whistleblower allegation. If this were reversed, If if this were
allegations against the President or any of these cabinet officials,
I'm sure everyone in this room would cover it. As such.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
This is obviously a major story that the media doesn't
want to cover, but we're going to keep you informed
on it, and we're going to make sure you know
exactly what's happening every step of the way.
