1. Trump vs. Chicago Leadership
-
The piece contrasts Trump’s approach to crime and immigration with Chicago officials’ resistance.
-
It claims Pritzker and Johnson focus more on opposing Trump than protecting citizens.
-
Trump is portrayed as taking direct action—planning federal operations in Chicago to crack down on undocumented immigrants and violent criminals.
2. Immigration Enforcement
-
Sources cite a CBS News memo about federal agents being stationed at Naval Station Great Lakes to conduct immigration sweeps in Chicago.
-
Trump and former ICE Director Tom Homan frame these operations as targeting “dangerous illegal aliens” (rapists, drug dealers, gang members).
-
The commentary criticizes Illinois leaders for refusing to cooperate with ICE, accusing them of releasing criminals back into communities.
3. Local vs. Federal Narrative
-
Pritzker argues Chicago’s crime situation has improved, citing investments in policing and community programs.
-
The commentary dismisses this, suggesting he is playing politics instead of prioritizing public safety.
-
Testimonies from grieving Chicago residents are included to bolster the argument that locals feel unsafe and want federal intervention.
4. Migrant Children & Biden Administration Criticism
-
A major section accuses the Biden administration of losing track of hundreds of thousands of migrant children, many of whom ended up trafficked, exploited, or dead.
-
Trump’s administration is credited with recovering some of these children, while Biden’s policies are described as negligent or deliberately careless.
5. Trump’s “War on Cartels”
-
The podcast highlights Trump’s reclassification of drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
-
It describes U.S. military strikes against drug-running boats, including one incident where an alleged narco-vessel was destroyed with a missile.
-
Critics argue this amounts to unlawful execution, but the commentary praises it as decisive leadership.
-
Comparisons are drawn with Obama’s drone program, suggesting media bias in how Trump’s actions are covered.
6. Fentanyl Crisis
-
The narrative connects the fentanyl epidemic to cartel activity and lax Democratic policies.
-
Trump is portrayed as the only leader willing to escalate the fight—militarily if necessary—to protect Americans.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wouldn't it be amazing if Democrats actually were willing to
fight criminals in Chicago with the same type of anger
and vigor they're using towards Donald Trump and law enforcement. Well,
the only tough talk you're getting right now out of
Chicago officials is threats of lawsuits against Donald Trump. That's right.
(00:22):
Illinois Governor J. D. Pritzker and the Chicago mayor Johnson
have teamed up and are not backing down. Is they
say they are angered by the idea of preparations for
what they describe as an illegal immigrant roundup that is
illegal by the Trump administration in the Windy City now.
According to an internal federal memo obtained by CBS News,
(00:46):
the Department of Home Insecurity has asked the Department of
Defense to house roughly two hundred and fifty federal agents
and one hundred and forty vehicles at an Illinois military
base and anticipation of an expected in in illegal alien
arrests within the Chicago area. CBS News exploding on this,
(01:07):
saying in a request for the assistance to the Department
of Defense, a top Homeland Security official indicated that the
Naval Station Great Lakes, the largest military base in Illinois,
and the Navy's largest training station would be used as
a staging area to oversee the removal operations in the
metropolitan Chicago area targeting immigrants suspected of being in the
(01:30):
US illegally. Now, the President of the United States of America,
Donald Trump, was asked about this, and I want you
to hear what he had to say to a reporter
that was trying to badger him as he was leaving
for Marine one.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Market State News.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Did you say that, Jo, just stake news.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Don't listen, be quiet, listen.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You don't listen.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
You're never listening.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's why you're second grade. We're not going to war.
We're going to clean up our city.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
We're going to clean them up so they don't kill
five people every weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
That's not war. That's common sense.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I love the last statement there by President Trump. We're
going to clean it up so they don't kill five
people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense. Tom
Homan also asked about this on CNN Stay of the Union,
and here's what he had to say about it as well.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Joining us now to discuss is the president's borders are
Tom Homan, mister Homan. Always good to have you. So
the governor of Illinois responded to President Trump's post. He wrote, quote,
the President of the United States is threatening to go
to war with an American city. This is not a joke,
This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strong man,
He's a scared man. Illinois won't be intimidated by a
wanna be dictator. Unquote is President Trump planning to go
(02:47):
to war in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
We're going to war with illegal aliens, public safety threats
that rape children, that raped citizens, that committed armed robberies,
that the distributing narcotics kill Americans. We're at war with
the criminal cartels. And Governor Prisco protects criminal, illegal alien,
public safety threats every day in that state. Along with
Mary Johnson, we proved that the first week of the administration,
(03:12):
I went to Chicago. I started an operation there. The
first day, we arrested nine sexual predators, most of them
child rapists. We arrested nine members of TDA. Several of
the TDA members had a pistol, an illegal pistol with
a switch on it which makes that pistol fully automatic.
We arrested two illegal aliens that a homicide conviction. That
(03:33):
was the first day in Chicago. So, you know, President
Trump and this administration, Yeah, we're at war with the
criminal cartels and those who want to murder and rape
the American citizens. You' damn right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Isn't it amazing how the media decides to spend this
story that somehow Donald Trump is going to go to
war with a American city. No, We're going to war
with the criminal legal aliens every day, no matter where
they are. And that is the Trump doctor. Now, of
course Sinnan didn't like this doctrine, right. They don't like
(04:04):
the fact that this administration is fighting back against criminals.
They want to act like somehow Donald Trump is a
dictator and a tyrant. And so Jake Tapper does what
Jake Tapper does. He decides to, you know, be an
elitist in grand stand with Tom Homan, and that's where
he decided to say, well, hold on a second, you
guys have been flooding the zone in Chicago, and is
(04:28):
that really the job of the government.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
The problem marriage which are sanctuary cities.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Governor Pritzker says Illinois has not received any notification about
any enforcement action from the White House. Will you be
coordinating with them about an operation of the size in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Governor Prisker has been not five day one again. I
went there and started an operation right after the inauguration.
ICE agents have been flooding the zone in Chicago for
a while now, so he's aware of what's going on.
I mean, he knows we've been there. We were there
last week where they're the week now. You know again
we're going to send the additional resources to all sanctuary cities.
(05:04):
But this isn't new to him. He knows we've been there,
and he's failed to work with us. The Mary Johnson
has failed to work with us again to this day.
A significant public safety threat gets locked into a jail
in Illinois, in Chicago, CUK County Jail, one of the
most target rich environments for criminal illegal aliens. They and
we drop our detainers, say hey, this guy's that illegally
(05:24):
the United States. You have custody. When you're dumbling them,
call us and we'll come and get them. Let us
deal with our enforcing our law. And they simply ignore
it and release into the streets. And what happens then
when you release a public safety threat back into the public,
it makes a community unsafe. It makes us unsafe for
our agents had to go into the community and try
to find somebody now in history who has access to
who knows what weapons. It makes unsafe for the illegal
(05:46):
aliens because anything can happen on the street. Arrest give
us the public safety threat, and the safety and security
of a county jail makes it safer for everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You listen to the reality that they refuse even the
world first illegal immigrant criminal where there is an ICE
detainer and they say to law enforcement, tell us when
you're done with them, and we'll come pick them up.
And what do they say in Illinois, We will not
notify you, we will not work with you. We are
going to release these rapists, these murderers, these cartel members,
(06:17):
these drug dealers back into our streets to terrorize our
citizens because we care more about hating Trump than we
do about keeping people safe. Which brings us back to
the governor. Governor Pritzker saying this about Donald Trump's plan
to bring in more resources into Chicago.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
By the way, the homicide rate in Chicago has now
been cut in half over the last four years because
of the investments that we've made on the ground. It's
not just in police. I have invested significantly in police,
but we've also made massive investments in community violence intervention.
Those programs are working. We're doing more than any other
state in that regard, and it's working on the streets
(07:00):
of Chicago. He doesn't read anything, he doesn't really understand anything.
He just has some idea in his head that Chicago
is bad. He's always had that. By the way, I
also think I live rent free in the guy's head.
So he's constantly thinking about, you know, how do I
attack Chicago? And oh yeah, I hate that Pritzker guy too.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
There it is very clear it's all about the politics
with the governor. He wants to attack Donald Trump. He
doesn't want to work with law enforcement. He doesn't want
to allow for anyone to be safe in his cities,
and lying over and over again. There's a mother of
a murdered girl, a Chicago resident, who decided to go
(07:41):
on Fox and Friends. And here's what she had to
say about how she is terrified and others are terrified
to even walk the streets, and she lost her own
child to this type of horrific violence in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
This is a mother of a girl murdered in Chicago
who says she wants President Trump to come in and
fix the city.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I would like the governors to ask for help because
the thing that's in place right now, it's not working.
We're scared to sit in our cars, We're scared to
have our kids walking to school.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I mean, we have residents like you on every single
day who're saying we want the governor to ask for help,
we want the federal government to step in. So what
more is it going to take.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think it's going to take one of their own
to actually suffer through, you know, some of the things
that we go through in Chicago. I actually challenged JB. Prisker,
Brandon Johnson to actually walk the same streets that I
walk here in Chicago, I mean, without the police detail,
without the suits, of course, and we'll see if they
have that same opinion. When it comes to JB. Prisker
saying that Chicago is safe, I feel like a lot
(08:52):
of this is just virtue signaling. When it comes to JB. Prisker,
he thinks he's living rent free in Donald Trump's head
that I honestly think the other way around. And when
it comes to Brandon Johnson and all of the race
baiting and things like that. He tends to think that
police are races because you know, majority of police officer
happens to be white Caucasian males. But you know, he
(09:14):
fails to tell the people that there were over thirty
two hundred black slave owners in America and they own
over twelve thousand slaves. So we can play the color game,
but that's not going to help the issue when it
comes to safety in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Well, we know you know the city well, and for
those of us who have known that city for a
long time, it is just not what it once was.
It's changed significantly, and it's rough for so many families
that can't leave and that have to continue to live
there for work and otherwise. So appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You listen to these residents, not one, but two there
telling their stories talking about how bad it is. Do
you notice the governor and the mayor are not listening
to them at all? And this is exactly why Donald
Trump right now is so popular because he's actually doing
what he said he was going to do. He's not
going to sit back and watch people get killed. He's
(10:09):
not going to sit back and say I'm sorry, but
because you're in that city, you're not going to be safe.
And this is why I think there are so many
Americans right now that like this present more than they
did in his first administration.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
He's doing it differently.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It is a story that has just not gotten enough press.
It is a story of the Biden administration knowing that
they were losing children that they were entrusted to protect
in the US, giving them to people that were not
related to them, and then knowing when they went to
go find them that they had disappeared. The reality is
(10:47):
they knew exactly what was happening to those children. They
were being trafficked, they were put into sex slavery, and
many of them were going to turn up dead. But
the Biden administration turned the other way, and for one
simple reason, because if they admitted the disaster, they'd have
to shut down the wide open southern border. Tom Homan
(11:08):
came out last week and said, we have, thank goodness,
located about twenty three thousand of the hundreds of thousands
that were lost under the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Out of the three hundred thousand children, I looked at
the numbers just yesterday, we located over twenty three thousand
of them, So twenty three thousand locations of the three
hundred thousand were President Trump's committed We're not going to
stop till we find every one of them, or at least,
you know, run every lead down that those three hundred
thousand children, that's a that's a big that's a big
(11:41):
plus for the administration because the last administration wasn't even
looking for him. So but as far as Chicago, Chicago's
coming along with every other sanctuary city, President Trump is
committed that we're going to focus and prioritize sanctuary cities
because that is where the problem is. We know for
a fact they're releasing public safety three to the streets
(12:01):
every day rather than handing them over to Ice and
we can deport them.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You listen to that part of the story, and then
you combine it with what we've just gotten into reporting.
The Daily Mail is now reporting that migrant children lost
under the Biden administration have been found dead or working
as sex slaves, after an estimated two hundred and thirty
three thousand children that you heard Tom Homan mentioned a
(12:28):
moment ago cross the US Mexico border alone. During President
Joe Biden's tenure and then were lost. Law enforcement has
started to locate them, only to learn the horrors that
they're facing. Since March, the Trump administration has tracked down
about twenty three thousand of those kids, finding some of
them in deplorable conditions, some of them dead, and others
(12:50):
being used as sex slaves.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We found children who have been.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Raped, is what the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior
adviser said Fox News Channel. We're talking about debt bondage
where children are being made to work off debt, trafficking debt.
We're talking about children that were brought into situations and
then threatened and treated like sexual slaves. At least twenty
(13:19):
seven of those children lost their lives. They are now
confirmed dead, with cause of deaths ranging from murder, suicide,
car accidents, or drug overdoses. Children are in horrific environments,
just environments that they should not be in, where the
sponsor is a heroin dealer and that child winds up
(13:41):
dying of a heroin overdose. These children are classified by
the government as unaccompanied miners, under age migrants who cross
the US border without a parent or legal guardian. An uncle,
older sibling, or other relative might be traveling with the child. However,
the miner would be considered unaccompany because they are not
(14:04):
with a legal parent. Oftentimes, the parents were already in
the US and have saved up money to pay smugglers
to bring their children in. In a heartbreaking video, for example,
a two year old girl from El Salvador told the
Texas Department of Safety troopers who found her in November,
that she was on her way to reunite with her
mom and dad. While kids have sometimes crossed the border alone,
(14:28):
during President Joe Biden's time in office, the number exploded
alongside overall illegal immigration. Often children were arriving at the
border completely alone, pushed over the border wall by smugglers
who then abandon them. In another shocking case, a two
month old baby was found in the Rio Grande city
(14:50):
of Texas by Border Patrol agents. This was a chilling
reminder of how children are being exploited by human smugglers
and criminal organizations ever day, the agency said after that
report became public. In another instance, two brothers were found
at the Texas Mexico border with handwriting on their t
(15:10):
shirts with a child's name or the contact information of
a said relative.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
In the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Someone had written the contact information on family members in
the US on their clothing in a marker, hoping for
the best. This is how the traffickers treat these children. Now,
four hundred and seventy thousand children without parents or guardians
crossed into the US illegally between twenty twenty one and
(15:37):
twenty twenty four, according to new government statistics, After an
uncompanied minor enters the US, the government policy is to
let the miners stay in the country. The government holds
them in special shelters for children until they can be
reunited with relatives in the US. However, these children are
not deported back to where they came from, and that's
(16:01):
where the problems really really began. Biden officials were supposed
to be vetting the adults that they were claiming were
their children to make sure that they were actually related.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Did they do it No.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That is when the children were lost into the system
deliberately by the Biden administration, with the officials unable to
verify the kids whereabouts at all. There wasn't very good
record keeping either, and we now know that maybe on
purpose under the Biden administration. It's drawing the data back
in being able to identify addresses where these children went,
(16:41):
who these sponsors actually were, and in many cases, well,
the data is horrible, and that may be on purpose.
What the Biden administration was taking in and putting into
our computer systems was not the right information, quote unquote.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So now we have to.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Draw that all the way back in and then deeply
investigate into where some of these children went. In some cases,
the adults the kids were released to, called sponsors, were
not even DNA tested by the Biden administration to ensure
that they were actually even related. They gave these kids
away to an essence, strangers, and then the strangers could
(17:21):
do whatever they wanted to do with these children. In
other cases, the addresses where the kids were being taken
to were also not vetted by the Biden administration to
make sure that children were actually living there. Under the
current administration, under Donald Trump's leadership, DNA testing is a
(17:42):
requirement as its proof of income. Criminal background checks are
being done on everyone. Fingerprinting and identification verification are also mandates.
So why did the Biden administration do this to literally
hunt undreds of thousands of children. One simple reason, they
(18:04):
wanted to get rid of the kids. As quickly as
they could so they could allow for the borders to
stay open. They could not handle a backlog of caring
for three hundred thousand children. They didn't have the apparatus
to do it, but to keep the southern border open
and the flood coming in, they were willing to give
these children to virtually anyone, even knowing that many of
(18:27):
them were going to die, knowing that many of them
were going to be sold into essence, what is sex
slavery or bondage, or into child labor to work off
a debt. They didn't care, and they knew that there
was a problem. The reports clearly showed the Biden administration
was quote checking up on the kids, and they weren't
(18:48):
finding the children or the sponsors or at the address
that they were declared to be going to. And what
do they do? Nothing to stop it from continuing. And
that is exactly why Donald Trump is working so hard
now to find these children and hopefully find them alive.
I want to talk to you about my friends over
(19:09):
at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
cell phone service, with new ones popping up all the time,
But if you want to make a difference, and you
want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, Well,
one way you can do that is by getting rid
of Liberal mobile you probably have right now. That is
where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
(19:31):
and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
want you to know why switching is so important. Because
every time you make a call, every time you send
a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
(19:51):
you're actually standing up for the values you believe in,
your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
at no extra cost to you, and they give it
back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
(20:13):
let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
service team, and literally they can now with technology get
you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or
your office. You're second a contract or owe money on
your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program.
(20:36):
And this is how we win, folks by aligning our
spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,
let me also give you a free month of service.
Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile
dot com slash ferguson, or you can call them nine
to seven to two Patriot use the promo code for
(21:00):
and you're gonna get one month free service by switching today.
So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Use the promo
cort ferguson. You'll get a free month of service today
Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to
two Patriot. In some big news, President Donald Trump with
the Pentagon doing what he said to do, have now
(21:22):
deployed f thirty five stealth fighters to the Caribbean for
counter narcotics operations. Axios freaking out because that's what the
media does when you have a strong president that is
protecting American lives.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Here's what their headline.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Reads, quote, We've never seen this before. Trump's drug war
looks like a real war. Again, they're saying it in
a negative connotation. I'm thrilled by it, and so are
most Americans because it's exactly what they voted for.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
The media Axios is the great example of that. Today.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
They're wanting to be terrified that the President is wanting
to go after narco terras. Their first line of the
article says this, more missiles, fewer arrests. President Trump's war
on drugs is officially a war, not a mere law
enforcement action. And then they say why does this matter? Well,
the US has entered a new era in which narcotic
(22:21):
traffickers are classified as terrorists and Trump is claiming the
right to kill them before they or their drugs reach
this country. That's what you need to know the difference
between Republicans and Democrats on this issue. Democrats want to
like hand out due process to these terrorists. Republicans are saying,
let's kill them and stop their drugs before they kill Americans.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I'm loving this article.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The president's overall perspective, they write, is that if there's
a terrorist threat to the homeland of the United States
of America. He trusts the military to take that threat out,
whether it's a drug boat off the coast of Venezuela
or an Al Qada terrorist in the Middle East. That
is what a senior Trump administration official said to Axios Now.
(23:07):
On Tuesday, the US Navy blew up a suspected drug
running boat off Venezuela, killing its crew of eleven. According
to Trump and Pentagon officials. By the way, the video,
it's glorious and I put it up on my social
media accounts. If you haven't seen it yet, go check
it out at Ben Ferguson podcast on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The attack marked the first time a suspected go fast
drug running boat was destroyed by a military missile. That
according to officials and drug war experts. Yet again, the
President saying, I'm not screwing around. Quote there's more where
that came from. Is what Donald Trump said in announcing
the strike. All other details of the shocking caught on
(23:49):
video missile attack are classified.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Officials said.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I also laugh about that because it was very clear
the President wanted the narco terras to see what happens
if they keeping their drugs to America. Now, the attack
was denounced by critics accustomed to the US conducting the
drug war as a law enforcement matter and in which
high see interactions mainly involved the Coast Guard and not
actually blowing the boats up. Well, until now, the goal
(24:16):
was to try to capture drug runners and the narcotics
to build a case for federal prosecution. That's not what
President Trump is trying to do. And by the way,
that policy has been a failed policy now for decades,
dating all the way back to Ronald Reagan and the
Just Say No campaign to drugs with the first Lady.
What happened Tuesday was a murder anywhere in the world,
(24:39):
is what Columbia's NARCO president wrote on Acts, saying, quote,
we have been capturing civilians who transport drugs for decades
without killing them. Those who transport drugs are not the
big narcos, but the very poor young people from the
Caribbean and the Pacific. Well, if you're one of the
poor young people, as he described it, the narco terrorist trade,
(25:02):
maybe after seeing some boats being blown up from drones
or airstrikes, you might think twice about taking the job.
And that's exactly what Donald Trump is trying to do now.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
The laugh.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
By the way they're fighting back. I'll give you a
great example, the former Human Rights Watchdog executive director Kenneth
Ross saying this on Acts quote, Trump admits he ordered
a summary execution the crime of murder, then went on
to say drug traffickers are not combatants who can be
shot on site. They are criminal suspects who must be
(25:34):
arrested and prosecuted. By the way, in the past, that
would technically be true. That's exactly why Donald Trump changed
the designation to name them as terrorists organizations. Now that
thinking is no longer operative. Is how a Trump administration
official put it. In fact, on his inauguration day, Donald
Trump signed an executive order declaring certain drug cartels, including
(25:58):
Venezuela's trend Aragua Gang, as a foreign terrorist organization. They
were put on notice. So none of this should be
shocking that the president is actually doing this right now now.
Under US law, this gives the president the authority which
he's using to employ the military. Administration officials say in
(26:18):
the same way, the President Obama authorized a drone program
that killed three thousand, seven hundred and ninety seven people
in five hundred and forty two strikes aimed at suspected terrats.
By the way, the left didn't freak out when Barack
Obama was doing that, but since Trump's doing something like
it now, they're all losing their minds. Trump also loosened
(26:41):
internal rules that slowed military officials from conducting lethal operations
against alleged terras. The National Security Council has taken out
nearly one hundred terrists, the senior officialist said, saying, quote,
we are conducting strikes against terras weekly that no one
even knows about now. Former US Attorney Patrick Sullivan, who
(27:03):
successfully prosecuted former Panama President Noriego for drug crimes after
he was snatched in a ninety nine US military invasion,
said Trump's militarization of the war on drugs, he says,
is a quote surprise, saying we've never seen this before.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This is a totally different approach.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No one fired a missile at a go fast boat
and just destroyed it.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It's just totally unheard of.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yet again making me laugh that the media and the
laughter are shocked by the President paying off on what
he said he was going to do. Defend Secretary Pete headsays,
saying this on Wednesday, quote anyone else trafficking in those waters.
Who we know is a designated narco terrace will face
(27:49):
the same fate as the eleven that were on board
that first go fast boat that was blown up from
the sky. Senator Ran Paul by the way, expressing misgivings
about the operation, saying on NEWSMA, the Congress needs to
declare war before the administration wages full scale war on
the cartels. Just for the record, I couldn't disagree with
Senator Paul Moore. Trump's new drug war isn't limited by
(28:13):
the way we're being told, just to Venezuela. In the
short term, it could double as a regime change operation.
The left is now saying to dispose of the Venezuelan
dictator Maduro, who's accused of sealing last year's presidential election,
with a ton of evidence to support that fact. But
this is how the left tries to undermine the president
(28:35):
after Narrega. By the way, Maduro became the second sitting
Latin American head of state to be indicted on narcotic
charges in twenty twenty during Trump's first term. Maduro, by
the way, now also has a fifty million dollar bounty
on his head, which the Department.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Of Justice has doubled quote.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The only person who should be worried is Maduro, who's
running effectively as a kingpin of a narco state. That's
what the DoD administrator said, and we know that he's
been involved in this type of drug running that has
affected the American people directly. Put another way, Maduro can
be targeted for assassination, including by drone strike, under the
(29:16):
new US policy.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I have no problem with that either.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Administration officials say the possibility hasn't been seriously discussed, but
Trump is keeping it as an option now. When asked
whether regime changes a US goal, headse said the call
wasn't his. What his job is is to do what
the President says, and that is to go after the
narco terrorists because clearly they're not going to stop killing
(29:42):
Americans until we stop them.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Which brings us to the bigger point.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Why is it that there's so many Democrats in America
right now that are refusing to admit just how bad
the drug problem is. We know that fetnol is the
number one killer of younger Americans right now, truly sad
and shocking, and many of the accidental overdoses that are
causing their deaths are clearly not intentional. Many kids think
(30:09):
that they're taking a legitimate pill like a ritolin or
an adderall and then drop dead from fetnyl. DEA agents
have said they can't even tell the difference between the
real pill from a pharmacist and the narco terrorist pill
that is laced with fetanyl that can easily kill you.
So here we are, we're in a moment where Donald
(30:30):
Trump has made it clear he may direct more strikes
against the narco terrists. As it's been put by Marco Rubio,
he said, quote blow them up. That's what Rubio says.
Trump will direct more strikes. The president of United States
America is going to wage war on the narco terrorists organizations.
So from the State Department to the Pentagon, to the
(30:50):
FBI to the White House, one thing that is sure.
The President said he was going after the drug traffickers,
and that is exactly what he's doing. And yes, even
as they're shocked to write it, it's maybe one of
the best well articles I've ever seen where they're saying
that the President is actually not just talking about going
to war with a terrorists, he's actually starting a war
(31:14):
to take them out, don't forget share this podcast please
with your family and your friends where whoever they are,
and I will see you back here tomorrow
Wouldn't it be amazing if Democrats actually were willing to
fight criminals in Chicago with the same type of anger
and vigor they're using towards Donald Trump and law enforcement. Well,
the only tough talk you're getting right now out of
Chicago officials is threats of lawsuits against Donald Trump. That's right.
(00:22):
Illinois Governor J. D. Pritzker and the Chicago mayor Johnson
have teamed up and are not backing down. Is they
say they are angered by the idea of preparations for
what they describe as an illegal immigrant roundup that is
illegal by the Trump administration in the Windy City now.
According to an internal federal memo obtained by CBS News,
(00:46):
the Department of Home Insecurity has asked the Department of
Defense to house roughly two hundred and fifty federal agents
and one hundred and forty vehicles at an Illinois military
base and anticipation of an expected in in illegal alien
arrests within the Chicago area. CBS News exploding on this,
(01:07):
saying in a request for the assistance to the Department
of Defense, a top Homeland Security official indicated that the
Naval Station Great Lakes, the largest military base in Illinois,
and the Navy's largest training station would be used as
a staging area to oversee the removal operations in the
metropolitan Chicago area targeting immigrants suspected of being in the
(01:30):
US illegally. Now, the President of the United States of America,
Donald Trump, was asked about this, and I want you
to hear what he had to say to a reporter
that was trying to badger him as he was leaving
for Marine one.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Market State News.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Did you say that, Jo, just stake news.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Don't listen, be quiet, listen.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You don't listen.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
You're never listening.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's why you're second grade. We're not going to war.
We're going to clean up our city.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
We're going to clean them up so they don't kill
five people every weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
That's not war. That's common sense.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I love the last statement there by President Trump. We're
going to clean it up so they don't kill five
people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense. Tom
Homan also asked about this on CNN Stay of the Union,
and here's what he had to say about it as well.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Joining us now to discuss is the president's borders are
Tom Homan, mister Homan. Always good to have you. So
the governor of Illinois responded to President Trump's post. He wrote, quote,
the President of the United States is threatening to go
to war with an American city. This is not a joke,
This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strong man,
He's a scared man. Illinois won't be intimidated by a
wanna be dictator. Unquote is President Trump planning to go
(02:47):
to war in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
We're going to war with illegal aliens, public safety threats
that rape children, that raped citizens, that committed armed robberies,
that the distributing narcotics kill Americans. We're at war with
the criminal cartels. And Governor Prisco protects criminal, illegal alien,
public safety threats every day in that state. Along with
Mary Johnson, we proved that the first week of the administration,
(03:12):
I went to Chicago. I started an operation there. The
first day, we arrested nine sexual predators, most of them
child rapists. We arrested nine members of TDA. Several of
the TDA members had a pistol, an illegal pistol with
a switch on it which makes that pistol fully automatic.
We arrested two illegal aliens that a homicide conviction. That
(03:33):
was the first day in Chicago. So, you know, President
Trump and this administration, Yeah, we're at war with the
criminal cartels and those who want to murder and rape
the American citizens. You' damn right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Isn't it amazing how the media decides to spend this
story that somehow Donald Trump is going to go to
war with a American city. No, We're going to war
with the criminal legal aliens every day, no matter where
they are. And that is the Trump doctor. Now, of
course Sinnan didn't like this doctrine, right. They don't like
(04:04):
the fact that this administration is fighting back against criminals.
They want to act like somehow Donald Trump is a
dictator and a tyrant. And so Jake Tapper does what
Jake Tapper does. He decides to, you know, be an
elitist in grand stand with Tom Homan, and that's where
he decided to say, well, hold on a second, you
guys have been flooding the zone in Chicago, and is
(04:28):
that really the job of the government.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
The problem marriage which are sanctuary cities.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Governor Pritzker says Illinois has not received any notification about
any enforcement action from the White House. Will you be
coordinating with them about an operation of the size in Chicago.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Governor Prisker has been not five day one again. I
went there and started an operation right after the inauguration.
ICE agents have been flooding the zone in Chicago for
a while now, so he's aware of what's going on.
I mean, he knows we've been there. We were there
last week where they're the week now. You know again
we're going to send the additional resources to all sanctuary cities.
(05:04):
But this isn't new to him. He knows we've been there,
and he's failed to work with us. The Mary Johnson
has failed to work with us again to this day.
A significant public safety threat gets locked into a jail
in Illinois, in Chicago, CUK County Jail, one of the
most target rich environments for criminal illegal aliens. They and
we drop our detainers, say hey, this guy's that illegally
(05:24):
the United States. You have custody. When you're dumbling them,
call us and we'll come and get them. Let us
deal with our enforcing our law. And they simply ignore
it and release into the streets. And what happens then
when you release a public safety threat back into the public,
it makes a community unsafe. It makes us unsafe for
our agents had to go into the community and try
to find somebody now in history who has access to
who knows what weapons. It makes unsafe for the illegal
(05:46):
aliens because anything can happen on the street. Arrest give
us the public safety threat, and the safety and security
of a county jail makes it safer for everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You listen to the reality that they refuse even the
world first illegal immigrant criminal where there is an ICE
detainer and they say to law enforcement, tell us when
you're done with them, and we'll come pick them up.
And what do they say in Illinois, We will not
notify you, we will not work with you. We are
going to release these rapists, these murderers, these cartel members,
(06:17):
these drug dealers back into our streets to terrorize our
citizens because we care more about hating Trump than we
do about keeping people safe. Which brings us back to
the governor. Governor Pritzker saying this about Donald Trump's plan
to bring in more resources into Chicago.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
By the way, the homicide rate in Chicago has now
been cut in half over the last four years because
of the investments that we've made on the ground. It's
not just in police. I have invested significantly in police,
but we've also made massive investments in community violence intervention.
Those programs are working. We're doing more than any other
state in that regard, and it's working on the streets
(07:00):
of Chicago. He doesn't read anything, he doesn't really understand anything.
He just has some idea in his head that Chicago
is bad. He's always had that. By the way, I
also think I live rent free in the guy's head.
So he's constantly thinking about, you know, how do I
attack Chicago? And oh yeah, I hate that Pritzker guy too.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
There it is very clear it's all about the politics
with the governor. He wants to attack Donald Trump. He
doesn't want to work with law enforcement. He doesn't want
to allow for anyone to be safe in his cities,
and lying over and over again. There's a mother of
a murdered girl, a Chicago resident, who decided to go
(07:41):
on Fox and Friends. And here's what she had to
say about how she is terrified and others are terrified
to even walk the streets, and she lost her own
child to this type of horrific violence in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
This is a mother of a girl murdered in Chicago
who says she wants President Trump to come in and
fix the city.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I would like the governors to ask for help because
the thing that's in place right now, it's not working.
We're scared to sit in our cars, We're scared to
have our kids walking to school.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I mean, we have residents like you on every single
day who're saying we want the governor to ask for help,
we want the federal government to step in. So what
more is it going to take.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I think it's going to take one of their own
to actually suffer through, you know, some of the things
that we go through in Chicago. I actually challenged JB. Prisker,
Brandon Johnson to actually walk the same streets that I
walk here in Chicago, I mean, without the police detail,
without the suits, of course, and we'll see if they
have that same opinion. When it comes to JB. Prisker
saying that Chicago is safe, I feel like a lot
(08:52):
of this is just virtue signaling. When it comes to JB. Prisker,
he thinks he's living rent free in Donald Trump's head
that I honestly think the other way around. And when
it comes to Brandon Johnson and all of the race
baiting and things like that. He tends to think that
police are races because you know, majority of police officer
happens to be white Caucasian males. But you know, he
(09:14):
fails to tell the people that there were over thirty
two hundred black slave owners in America and they own
over twelve thousand slaves. So we can play the color game,
but that's not going to help the issue when it
comes to safety in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Well, we know you know the city well, and for
those of us who have known that city for a
long time, it is just not what it once was.
It's changed significantly, and it's rough for so many families
that can't leave and that have to continue to live
there for work and otherwise. So appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You listen to these residents, not one, but two there
telling their stories talking about how bad it is. Do
you notice the governor and the mayor are not listening
to them at all? And this is exactly why Donald
Trump right now is so popular because he's actually doing
what he said he was going to do. He's not
going to sit back and watch people get killed. He's
(10:09):
not going to sit back and say I'm sorry, but
because you're in that city, you're not going to be safe.
And this is why I think there are so many
Americans right now that like this present more than they
did in his first administration.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
He's doing it differently.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It is a story that has just not gotten enough press.
It is a story of the Biden administration knowing that
they were losing children that they were entrusted to protect
in the US, giving them to people that were not
related to them, and then knowing when they went to
go find them that they had disappeared. The reality is
(10:47):
they knew exactly what was happening to those children. They
were being trafficked, they were put into sex slavery, and
many of them were going to turn up dead. But
the Biden administration turned the other way, and for one
simple reason, because if they admitted the disaster, they'd have
to shut down the wide open southern border. Tom Homan
(11:08):
came out last week and said, we have, thank goodness,
located about twenty three thousand of the hundreds of thousands
that were lost under the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Out of the three hundred thousand children, I looked at
the numbers just yesterday, we located over twenty three thousand
of them, So twenty three thousand locations of the three
hundred thousand were President Trump's committed We're not going to
stop till we find every one of them, or at least,
you know, run every lead down that those three hundred
thousand children, that's a that's a big that's a big
(11:41):
plus for the administration because the last administration wasn't even
looking for him. So but as far as Chicago, Chicago's
coming along with every other sanctuary city, President Trump is
committed that we're going to focus and prioritize sanctuary cities
because that is where the problem is. We know for
a fact they're releasing public safety three to the streets
(12:01):
every day rather than handing them over to Ice and
we can deport them.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You listen to that part of the story, and then
you combine it with what we've just gotten into reporting.
The Daily Mail is now reporting that migrant children lost
under the Biden administration have been found dead or working
as sex slaves, after an estimated two hundred and thirty
three thousand children that you heard Tom Homan mentioned a
(12:28):
moment ago cross the US Mexico border alone. During President
Joe Biden's tenure and then were lost. Law enforcement has
started to locate them, only to learn the horrors that
they're facing. Since March, the Trump administration has tracked down
about twenty three thousand of those kids, finding some of
them in deplorable conditions, some of them dead, and others
(12:50):
being used as sex slaves.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We found children who have been.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Raped, is what the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement senior
adviser said Fox News Channel. We're talking about debt bondage
where children are being made to work off debt, trafficking debt.
We're talking about children that were brought into situations and
then threatened and treated like sexual slaves. At least twenty
(13:19):
seven of those children lost their lives. They are now
confirmed dead, with cause of deaths ranging from murder, suicide,
car accidents, or drug overdoses. Children are in horrific environments,
just environments that they should not be in, where the
sponsor is a heroin dealer and that child winds up
(13:41):
dying of a heroin overdose. These children are classified by
the government as unaccompanied miners, under age migrants who cross
the US border without a parent or legal guardian. An uncle,
older sibling, or other relative might be traveling with the child. However,
the miner would be considered unaccompany because they are not
(14:04):
with a legal parent. Oftentimes, the parents were already in
the US and have saved up money to pay smugglers
to bring their children in. In a heartbreaking video, for example,
a two year old girl from El Salvador told the
Texas Department of Safety troopers who found her in November,
that she was on her way to reunite with her
mom and dad. While kids have sometimes crossed the border alone,
(14:28):
during President Joe Biden's time in office, the number exploded
alongside overall illegal immigration. Often children were arriving at the
border completely alone, pushed over the border wall by smugglers
who then abandon them. In another shocking case, a two
month old baby was found in the Rio Grande city
(14:50):
of Texas by Border Patrol agents. This was a chilling
reminder of how children are being exploited by human smugglers
and criminal organizations ever day, the agency said after that
report became public. In another instance, two brothers were found
at the Texas Mexico border with handwriting on their t
(15:10):
shirts with a child's name or the contact information of
a said relative.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
In the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Someone had written the contact information on family members in
the US on their clothing in a marker, hoping for
the best. This is how the traffickers treat these children. Now,
four hundred and seventy thousand children without parents or guardians
crossed into the US illegally between twenty twenty one and
(15:37):
twenty twenty four, according to new government statistics, After an
uncompanied minor enters the US, the government policy is to
let the miners stay in the country. The government holds
them in special shelters for children until they can be
reunited with relatives in the US. However, these children are
not deported back to where they came from, and that's
(16:01):
where the problems really really began. Biden officials were supposed
to be vetting the adults that they were claiming were
their children to make sure that they were actually related.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Did they do it No.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That is when the children were lost into the system
deliberately by the Biden administration, with the officials unable to
verify the kids whereabouts at all. There wasn't very good
record keeping either, and we now know that maybe on
purpose under the Biden administration. It's drawing the data back
in being able to identify addresses where these children went,
(16:41):
who these sponsors actually were, and in many cases, well,
the data is horrible, and that may be on purpose.
What the Biden administration was taking in and putting into
our computer systems was not the right information, quote unquote.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So now we have to.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Draw that all the way back in and then deeply
investigate into where some of these children went. In some cases,
the adults the kids were released to, called sponsors, were
not even DNA tested by the Biden administration to ensure
that they were actually even related. They gave these kids
away to an essence, strangers, and then the strangers could
(17:21):
do whatever they wanted to do with these children. In
other cases, the addresses where the kids were being taken
to were also not vetted by the Biden administration to
make sure that children were actually living there. Under the
current administration, under Donald Trump's leadership, DNA testing is a
(17:42):
requirement as its proof of income. Criminal background checks are
being done on everyone. Fingerprinting and identification verification are also mandates.
So why did the Biden administration do this to literally
hunt undreds of thousands of children. One simple reason, they
(18:04):
wanted to get rid of the kids. As quickly as
they could so they could allow for the borders to
stay open. They could not handle a backlog of caring
for three hundred thousand children. They didn't have the apparatus
to do it, but to keep the southern border open
and the flood coming in, they were willing to give
these children to virtually anyone, even knowing that many of
(18:27):
them were going to die, knowing that many of them
were going to be sold into essence, what is sex
slavery or bondage, or into child labor to work off
a debt. They didn't care, and they knew that there
was a problem. The reports clearly showed the Biden administration
was quote checking up on the kids, and they weren't
(18:48):
finding the children or the sponsors or at the address
that they were declared to be going to. And what
do they do? Nothing to stop it from continuing. And
that is exactly why Donald Trump is working so hard
now to find these children and hopefully find them alive.
I want to talk to you about my friends over
(19:09):
at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
cell phone service, with new ones popping up all the time,
But if you want to make a difference, and you
want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, Well,
one way you can do that is by getting rid
of Liberal mobile you probably have right now. That is
where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
(19:31):
and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
been in service now for thirteen years, and right now
is the best time ever to switch, because it's never
been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I
want you to know why switching is so important. Because
every time you make a call, every time you send
a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
(19:51):
you're actually standing up for the values you believe in,
your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
unborn children, and you stand with our military, our veterans,
our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
at no extra cost to you, and they give it
back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
(20:13):
let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
service team, and literally they can now with technology get
you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or
your office. You're second a contract or owe money on
your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program.
(20:36):
And this is how we win, folks by aligning our
spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,
let me also give you a free month of service.
Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile
dot com slash ferguson, or you can call them nine
to seven to two Patriot use the promo code for
(21:00):
and you're gonna get one month free service by switching today.
So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Use the promo
cort ferguson. You'll get a free month of service today
Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to
two Patriot. In some big news, President Donald Trump with
the Pentagon doing what he said to do, have now
(21:22):
deployed f thirty five stealth fighters to the Caribbean for
counter narcotics operations. Axios freaking out because that's what the
media does when you have a strong president that is
protecting American lives.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Here's what their headline.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Reads, quote, We've never seen this before. Trump's drug war
looks like a real war. Again, they're saying it in
a negative connotation. I'm thrilled by it, and so are
most Americans because it's exactly what they voted for.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
The media Axios is the great example of that. Today.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
They're wanting to be terrified that the President is wanting
to go after narco terras. Their first line of the
article says this, more missiles, fewer arrests. President Trump's war
on drugs is officially a war, not a mere law
enforcement action. And then they say why does this matter? Well,
the US has entered a new era in which narcotic
(22:21):
traffickers are classified as terrorists and Trump is claiming the
right to kill them before they or their drugs reach
this country. That's what you need to know the difference
between Republicans and Democrats on this issue. Democrats want to
like hand out due process to these terrorists. Republicans are saying,
let's kill them and stop their drugs before they kill Americans.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I'm loving this article.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
The president's overall perspective, they write, is that if there's
a terrorist threat to the homeland of the United States
of America. He trusts the military to take that threat out,
whether it's a drug boat off the coast of Venezuela
or an Al Qada terrorist in the Middle East. That
is what a senior Trump administration official said to Axios Now.
(23:07):
On Tuesday, the US Navy blew up a suspected drug
running boat off Venezuela, killing its crew of eleven. According
to Trump and Pentagon officials. By the way, the video,
it's glorious and I put it up on my social
media accounts. If you haven't seen it yet, go check
it out at Ben Ferguson podcast on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The attack marked the first time a suspected go fast
drug running boat was destroyed by a military missile. That
according to officials and drug war experts. Yet again, the
President saying, I'm not screwing around. Quote there's more where
that came from. Is what Donald Trump said in announcing
the strike. All other details of the shocking caught on
(23:49):
video missile attack are classified.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Officials said.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I also laugh about that because it was very clear
the President wanted the narco terras to see what happens
if they keeping their drugs to America. Now, the attack
was denounced by critics accustomed to the US conducting the
drug war as a law enforcement matter and in which
high see interactions mainly involved the Coast Guard and not
actually blowing the boats up. Well, until now, the goal
(24:16):
was to try to capture drug runners and the narcotics
to build a case for federal prosecution. That's not what
President Trump is trying to do. And by the way,
that policy has been a failed policy now for decades,
dating all the way back to Ronald Reagan and the
Just Say No campaign to drugs with the first Lady.
What happened Tuesday was a murder anywhere in the world,
(24:39):
is what Columbia's NARCO president wrote on Acts, saying, quote,
we have been capturing civilians who transport drugs for decades
without killing them. Those who transport drugs are not the
big narcos, but the very poor young people from the
Caribbean and the Pacific. Well, if you're one of the
poor young people, as he described it, the narco terrorist trade,
(25:02):
maybe after seeing some boats being blown up from drones
or airstrikes, you might think twice about taking the job.
And that's exactly what Donald Trump is trying to do now.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
The laugh.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
By the way they're fighting back. I'll give you a
great example, the former Human Rights Watchdog executive director Kenneth
Ross saying this on Acts quote, Trump admits he ordered
a summary execution the crime of murder, then went on
to say drug traffickers are not combatants who can be
shot on site. They are criminal suspects who must be
(25:34):
arrested and prosecuted. By the way, in the past, that
would technically be true. That's exactly why Donald Trump changed
the designation to name them as terrorists organizations. Now that
thinking is no longer operative. Is how a Trump administration
official put it. In fact, on his inauguration day, Donald
Trump signed an executive order declaring certain drug cartels, including
(25:58):
Venezuela's trend Aragua Gang, as a foreign terrorist organization. They
were put on notice. So none of this should be
shocking that the president is actually doing this right now now.
Under US law, this gives the president the authority which
he's using to employ the military. Administration officials say in
(26:18):
the same way, the President Obama authorized a drone program
that killed three thousand, seven hundred and ninety seven people
in five hundred and forty two strikes aimed at suspected terrats.
By the way, the left didn't freak out when Barack
Obama was doing that, but since Trump's doing something like
it now, they're all losing their minds. Trump also loosened
(26:41):
internal rules that slowed military officials from conducting lethal operations
against alleged terras. The National Security Council has taken out
nearly one hundred terrists, the senior officialist said, saying, quote,
we are conducting strikes against terras weekly that no one
even knows about now. Former US Attorney Patrick Sullivan, who
(27:03):
successfully prosecuted former Panama President Noriego for drug crimes after
he was snatched in a ninety nine US military invasion,
said Trump's militarization of the war on drugs, he says,
is a quote surprise, saying we've never seen this before.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This is a totally different approach.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No one fired a missile at a go fast boat
and just destroyed it.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It's just totally unheard of.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yet again making me laugh that the media and the
laughter are shocked by the President paying off on what
he said he was going to do. Defend Secretary Pete headsays,
saying this on Wednesday, quote anyone else trafficking in those waters.
Who we know is a designated narco terrace will face
(27:49):
the same fate as the eleven that were on board
that first go fast boat that was blown up from
the sky. Senator Ran Paul by the way, expressing misgivings
about the operation, saying on NEWSMA, the Congress needs to
declare war before the administration wages full scale war on
the cartels. Just for the record, I couldn't disagree with
Senator Paul Moore. Trump's new drug war isn't limited by
(28:13):
the way we're being told, just to Venezuela. In the
short term, it could double as a regime change operation.
The left is now saying to dispose of the Venezuelan
dictator Maduro, who's accused of sealing last year's presidential election,
with a ton of evidence to support that fact. But
this is how the left tries to undermine the president
(28:35):
after Narrega. By the way, Maduro became the second sitting
Latin American head of state to be indicted on narcotic
charges in twenty twenty during Trump's first term. Maduro, by
the way, now also has a fifty million dollar bounty
on his head, which the Department.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Of Justice has doubled quote.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The only person who should be worried is Maduro, who's
running effectively as a kingpin of a narco state. That's
what the DoD administrator said, and we know that he's
been involved in this type of drug running that has
affected the American people directly. Put another way, Maduro can
be targeted for assassination, including by drone strike, under the
(29:16):
new US policy.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I have no problem with that either.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Administration officials say the possibility hasn't been seriously discussed, but
Trump is keeping it as an option now. When asked
whether regime changes a US goal, headse said the call
wasn't his. What his job is is to do what
the President says, and that is to go after the
narco terrorists because clearly they're not going to stop killing
(29:42):
Americans until we stop them.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Which brings us to the bigger point.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Why is it that there's so many Democrats in America
right now that are refusing to admit just how bad
the drug problem is. We know that fetnol is the
number one killer of younger Americans right now, truly sad
and shocking, and many of the accidental overdoses that are
causing their deaths are clearly not intentional. Many kids think
(30:09):
that they're taking a legitimate pill like a ritolin or
an adderall and then drop dead from fetnyl. DEA agents
have said they can't even tell the difference between the
real pill from a pharmacist and the narco terrorist pill
that is laced with fetanyl that can easily kill you.
So here we are, we're in a moment where Donald
(30:30):
Trump has made it clear he may direct more strikes
against the narco terrists. As it's been put by Marco Rubio,
he said, quote blow them up. That's what Rubio says.
Trump will direct more strikes. The president of United States
America is going to wage war on the narco terrorists organizations.
So from the State Department to the Pentagon, to the
(30:50):
FBI to the White House, one thing that is sure.
The President said he was going after the drug traffickers,
and that is exactly what he's doing. And yes, even
as they're shocked to write it, it's maybe one of
the best well articles I've ever seen where they're saying
that the President is actually not just talking about going
to war with a terrorists, he's actually starting a war
(31:14):
to take them out, don't forget share this podcast please
with your family and your friends where whoever they are,
and I will see you back here tomorrow
