Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a
declaration of war.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing
drugs into our country.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Okay, we're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be
like dead.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Generally, you don't see fishing in submarines either, Servant. So
we will track them, we will map them, we will
network them, and we will hunt them and kill them
because they're trying to and they are killing and poisoning
the American.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Keep you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
Ben Ferguson.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Good Saturday morning to you.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
stories that you may have missed that we talked about
this week on the forty seven Morning Update.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
First up, the Department.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Of Homeland Security has announced an incredible feat arresting more
than four hundred and eighty thousand illegal immigrants in the
first nine months of President Trump being in office. They're
gonna be shocked to know just how many of these
four hundred and eighty thousand have criminal records. Also, there
was a mess of when for the President when it

(01:02):
comes to deploying the National Guard this time coming from
the ninth US Circuit decision dealing with him doing exactly
this in Portland, and what does this mean for other
cities around the country. But first, did you see that
gold just hit an all time new high of over
four thousand dollars an ounce?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
And if you hear that and you're like, are you
kidding me?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity, Well, I
don't know if you missed your opportunity, But my friends
at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals they can answer that question
for you.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
You also may not be.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Paying attention to the incredible gains with silver that are
happening right now as well, And that's why I trust
the guidance of the team at kirk Elliott. In fact,
I literally just got a hundred ounce bar of silver
the other day. And the reason why is because after
I talked to the team at kirk Elliott Precious Medals,
they let me understand exactly where I could have a

(01:59):
big upside in investing in silver.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
The other part that I love about them is this
they have transparent pricing. There are a lot of gold
companies that you'll hear about if you listen to talk
radio or podcasts or watch TV, but do they tell
you how the pricing actually works well. At kirk Elliott
they're real simple, just eight percent when you buy and

(02:22):
zero commissions when you sell, with no hidden fees. Ever,
that is the other reason why I recommend them to
all of you. They also don't sell you quote rare
coins or precious coins that you pay insane markups on
and then when you go to sell them you find
out they're really not worth that much.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
They are a bullyon only approach.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
They focus on investment grade metals, no overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
That means you get more gold or silver.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
For your money at fair value when it's time for
you to sell. So if you're ready to find out
if gold and silver is right for you and your portfolio,
then call them and get a plan. You can visit

Medals online at k e PM dot com. It's the
forty seven Morning Update and it starts.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right now story Number one. We've got a very.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Big story coming out of the White House and is
a promise that President Donald Trump made to every American
if he was elected president. It was that he was
going to do whatever he could to get rid of
illegal immigrants in this country, and he was also going
to get rid of the illegal immigrants first that had
committed the most heinous crimes. He also promised he was

(03:56):
going to make dangerous cities safe again. All of this
he is paying off on. But now we have some
of the biggest data we've seen so far backing this up.
The Department of Homeland Security has arrested more than four
hundred and eighty thousand illegal immigrants in the first nine

(04:16):
months of the Trump administration. I'm going to give you
that number again, four hundred and eighty thousand illegal immigrants
in a nine month span. This while many illegal immigrants
have been hanging out in sanctuary cities being protected by
the radical left. Now here's something else that you need
to know. Seventy percent of the four hundred and eighty

(04:37):
thousand legal immigrants had been arrested, had been convicted of
crimes or had criminal charges against them pending. Christy nom
made the announcement during a stop in Branden, Florida. As
They also put out a press release giving you some
of the background, saying, quote, President Trump unleashed ICE to

(04:58):
target the worst of the worstriminal illegal aliens. Some of
the criminals arrested included illegal aliens convicted of incests with
a minor, homicide, sexual assault, sexual assault of a minor,
and domestic violence. Seventy percent of ICE arrests are of
illegal aliens convicted or charged with a crime in the US.

(05:21):
This statistic doesn't even include they say, foreign fugitives, illegal
aliens convicted of crimes in other countries, gang members, and
also suspected terrorists. Noome highlighted nine of the worst of
the worst illegal immigrants who have been arrested in South
and Central Florida alone. They included several different individuals. Nome

(05:46):
set the press conference, we are not going to let
these individuals terrorize our streets anymore, and we're not going
to let them make victims out of families that live
in this country. I want you to hear directly from
Christianome at the press comfert Prince in Here's part of
what she had to say I'll give.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
You some examples of individuals that were brought to justice
here in Sarasota and in this area. The first one
I'll talk about is a convicted murderer whose name is
Eric Carlos Artilis Ramos, an illegal alien who was from Cuba.
He had a prior removal order in two thousand and eight,
and now because of the work of this office, he
is off the streets. He was also previously convicted of

(06:23):
kidnapping and carjacking. We also have another individual, Oscar Alfredo
Retina Maraquin, an illegal alien from Al Salvador. He was
convicted of sexual assault against a child and in nineteen
ninety five, and he was also arrested for dui. He
has been deported twice before, in nineteen ninety nine and

(06:44):
in twenty nineteen. Re Entry after deportation, I'll remind all
of you is a felony. The next individual is Arturo
Sanchez Morales. He's an illegal alien from Mexico. He was
arrested for driving drunk and he's already been deported once
before he re entered, which is a felony, and was
issued a final order of removal in twenty sixteen. He

(07:04):
had previously been arrested for burglary as well for possession
of cocaine and larceny, and has convictions for multiple DUIs
and lud acts against a minor. And again I'll talk
about Leylis Rinaldo Benaro Zahn, who is an individual from
Honduras who's been in this country illegally and he has
a conviction for domestic battery. He'd been deported twice before,

(07:28):
in twenty eleven and in twenty seventeen. These individuals are
just a handful of people that have been in this
country creating victims out of American citizens that now those
families do no longer have to worry about. Not only
have they been brought into and incarcerated, but they're going
to be brought to justice and pay for the crimes
that they've committed. Every single day, our law enforcement officers

(07:51):
put their lives at risk to protect the American people.
Every single day they get up and they go do
their jobs to make sure that American families can live
the lives that they've dreamed of since they were young.
The LEFS anti cop rhetoric has led to one thousand
percent increase in violence against our law enforcement officers. We
have to stop the rhetoric that is allowing individuals the

(08:14):
cover that they want to perpetuate violence against those who
enforce our laws. Last month, we had an individual open
fire at an ICE facility and we also saw that
we saw victims from that attack that happened not just
against ICE agents but also about detainees that were there
at that facility. That individual, when he fired upon the building,

(08:37):
created some victims. We lost two lives there. Three individuals
were hurt and two died later on. After that event,
the suspect had anti ICE written on the ammunition and
on his bullet casings, proving that he had targeted against
individuals that we're working to keep our streets safe. Criminals
are now even placing bounties on our law enforcement office.

(09:01):
This last month, the Department of Homeland Security arrested a
criminal illegal alien and a Latin King's gang member who
placed a bounty on our US Border Patrol Chief Greg Bevino.
Still they keep pressing on, and we've seen as well
individuals on TikTok and other apps making threats against our
law enforcement officers, putting bounties out on their head, and

(09:23):
we will bring all of those individuals to justice. We
will continue to bring murderers and rapists, those who perpetuate violence, pedophiles,
gang members in our communities. We will go after them,
bring them to justice, and we will save lives. The
American people see this, and they see that President Trump
is focused on making sure that our streets are safe

(09:43):
and that our families have opportunities to raise their children
in safe communities. In fact, recent polls have shown that
fifty four percent of Americans want illegals to be brought
into justice, and they want to deport those who are
in this country illegally, But seventy eight percent of Americans
want these criminal, illegal aliens brought to justice. That's because

(10:05):
the American people understand the benefits of having law and order.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Again, this isn't just a win for Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
This is a win for every man and woman in
this country, especially men and women that have been victims
of countless crimes by illegal immigrants.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Now, story number two.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
The Ninth Circuit saying that President Trump can send the
National Guard to Portland is another massive win for law
and order. And if you think that the Left is
going to sit down and just say okay, fine, the
President's going to be able to be the president, and
he has the authority to do this, and he was
elected to do it. You're wrong, MSNBC having a total

(10:44):
meltdown as Lisa Rubin had to read the Ninth Circuit
decision authorizing Trump to deploy the National Guard in Portland.
Take a listen to how they spun it on MSNBC.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, And I want to just correct one thing and
then explain why. Functional Okay, it is the same. This
is a Stay of Immigrants opinion, and that's why it
reached the Ninth Circuit as soon as it did, because
this is an emergency motion to essentially pause her order.
But as a functional matter, you are absolutely correct. It
has the function of overturning her order and thereby allowing

(11:16):
the President to send the National Guard back onto the
streets of Portland. And Katie, I want to read if
I can, just from a little bit of the beginning
of this ninety three page opinion, it says, after considering
the record, and by the record they mean all the
factual evidence at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it
is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority

(11:37):
under ten USC Section twelve four oh six. That's the
statute we've been referring to as Title ten when we
have conversations about the National Guard deployments, which authorizes the
federalization of the National Guard when the president is unable
with the regular forces to execute the laws of the
United States. And this is the important part. The evidence
the president relied on reflects quote, a colorable assessment of

(11:59):
the facts in law within a range of honest judgment.
We thus conclude that defendants are likely to succeed on
the merits of their appeal, basically saying that when and
if a court considers all of the record in this
matter is tried and it gets back to an appellate
court through an ordinary process where they have full briefing
and full evidence, that they still think Donald Trump is

(12:22):
likely to prevail there because he has the discretion to
determine as the president, within a range of honest judgment.
So when it is reasonable, this is.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
What you and I were talking about last week. It
is very clear the left realizes now they're running out
of ways to stop President Trump from doing his job,
a job that he was elected by the American people
to do, and they're going to do everything they can
to continue to try to stop him. But as we
witness what is happening now in Portland and the total

(12:52):
number of arrast nationwide in the last nine months, in
law and order that is also being restored to incredibly
violent cities like Portland, Washington, d C. Memphis, Tennessee, and
many more to come, including Chicago. What you're witnessing is
a president that is doing exactly what he promised he
was going to do, keep all Americans safe no matter

(13:15):
where you live.
