Kinda makes defense and all gives it to Mexico, puts

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Haven't treated us very well.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good Monday morning. It's Ben Ferguson. Nice to have you
with us on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
Donald Trump dismantling the deep State in a blood bath.
Who all got fired? Well, you're going to love the list,
and I'll have that for you in just a moment. Also,
the National Guard has been granted authority to make immigration
(00:36):
arrests in Texas. What does this mean and how is
it going to change the game and fighting illegal immigrants?
Will have that as well. And finally, Donald Trump enacts
tariffs on Canada and Mexico. They're fighting back, So who
will win the battle? We'll explain that. It's the forty
seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Story number one.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We all know what the deep State did to try
to overthrow the will of the people in elections in
this country in recent history. We know how they went
after Donald Trump and tried to imprison him and many
people around him. We know how they lied about the
Hunter Biden laptop. So the question, and for many has
been will there be of accountability? The answer yes, in
the last twenty four hours are proving exactly that, as
(01:18):
it is nothing less than a bloodbath with the deep state.
Let me explain to you exactly what has been done.
All federal prosecutors handling January six cases have been fired,
Computers have been locked and marched out of their offices.
These prosecutors by security. David Sunberg, the FBI Assistant director
(01:40):
at the helm of the January sixth investigations, has also
been terminated, and twenty leaders of FBI field offices have
been escorted out of the FBI buildings around the country.
This is significant. I mentioned a moment ago the Hunter
Biden laptop story, and you may remember all of those
(02:02):
Intel officials that signed a letter saying that they believe
the Hunter Biden laptop story was in essence a lie
and had the markings of quote Russian disinformation. Many of
the people, if not all, that signed that letter knew
they were lying to the American people. They knew the
laptop was real and had been authenticated in fact by
the deep state, So what happened to them? The fifty
(02:25):
one intelligence officers who spread misinformation about Hunter Biden's laptop
and it clearly interfered in our elections are now banned
from entering federal properties in a massive move by the
Trump administration. We also have found out that federal employees
are now required to return to office, with non compliance
(02:49):
leading to termination. This is expected to have a major
impact on the deep state and many leftists deciding not
to come back to work. We also found out that
for John Bolton and John Brennan, they're having a very
bad day. They have been permanently banned from government buildings
as well. Gerald Harold Rogers has been indicted also for
(03:13):
compromising US trade secrets to China, and there has been
a ban on all use of pronouns and government communications.
We also have been told that all two million Feds
have been sent a resignation offer, and this purge is
marking the beginning of the end of the corruption in Washington,
(03:34):
d C. Is how the Trump administration is looking at it.
We are just two weeks into draining the swamp and
this is the biggest overhaul of America's government in our
modern political history. Simply put, Donald Trump is breaking it all,
breaking it all down to its core, and rebuilding it
(03:55):
with true patriots that love this country instead of trying
to overthrow the will of the people.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now story number two, there's.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Nothing more exciting than getting to tell you about major
breaking news and trends that will probably expand outside of
an original story. Well, that is one of those stories
you're about to hear right now, and that is this news.
The Texas National Guard has now been granted authority to
make immigration arrests in a memo of understanding between the
(04:24):
Customs and Border Protection known as the CBP and the
State of Texas. Texas will immediately grant the Texas National
Guard soldiers. The memorandum, which has not yet been disseminated
to all Texas border sectors, will allow the soldiers, we're
being told, to perform roving patrols and exercise all the
(04:44):
duties of an immigration agent so long as a US
immigration officer or border patrol agent accompanies them. What does
this mean? They are going to imbed US Customs Enforcement,
immigration officers, border patrol agents within the National Guard and
everyone with them will have the same authority to arrest.
(05:07):
This is going to change the entire game at the
southern border in Texas. According to the Memo of Understanding,
the ratio of soldiers to immigration officers is preliminarily listed
as one officer to four soldiers. The title eight United
States Code Arrest authority was granted to multiple federal law
(05:28):
enforcement agencies just days after President Trump's inauguration on January
the twenty third, The Department of Homeland Security also authorized
federal law enforcement agents to quote, investigate, determine the location of,
and apprehend migrants in an illegal status. The details of
that memorandum, obtained and released in a recent news report
(05:51):
by CBS News, are similar to the Memo of understanding
reviewed also now by Breitbart Texas. The duties of the
Texas National Guard soldiers are law enforcement related, generally reserved
for agents assigned to specific agencies under the Department of
Homeland Security. Now, this latest granting of immigration arrest authority,
(06:14):
what it means for boots on the ground is this,
This is going to add at least three thousand Texas
Army National Guard soldiers to the number of ATF, FBI
and United States Deputy marshals who are now assisting the
Department of Homeland Security and enforcing federal immigration law. Simply put,
(06:36):
the President clearly is finding ways and his staff around
him to allow for a maximum number of people to
go to the southern border in Texas to get the
southern border back under control. This is going to be
a game changer. I would also expect, based on sources
that I've talked to around the White House, that you're
(06:57):
going to see this same plan rolled out in other
border states as well. Moral of the story, if you
earn a legal immigrant, you better watch your back in
Texas and very soon other states around the country. And lastly,
story number three, President Donald Trump signed a very important
executive order yesterday issuing tariffs on goods coming into the
(07:19):
United States from Canada, Mexico, and China. Simply put, Donald
Trump said, these countries are taking advantage of America and
there is a massive trade in balance now. The order
implemented a twenty five percent tariff on Mexican and most
Canadian goods, while imposing a ten percent tariff on Canadian
(07:40):
energy products and Chinese goods. Trump said Americans could feel
quote some pain after the tariffs take effect. Canada and
Mexico also decide to hit back, with the Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau, who recently resigned but is still in charge,
and the Mexican president as well through but in retaliatory
(08:01):
measures that include tariffs. Canada's retaliatory tariffs would begin Tuesday,
the day that US tariffs on Canadian imports are scheduled
to take effect. Mexico said in a video message that
they would announce the details of what they call Plan
B as soon as Monday afternoon. The Chinese Commerce Ministry
(08:22):
also responded by announcing that China would file a lawsuit
with the World Trade Organization as a WTO and take
necessary countermeasures to quote firmly safeguard its rights and interests. Now,
let's talk about what is really at stake here. Tariffs
are going to boost the US economy, creating jobs, raising wages,
(08:42):
and reducing imports. Trump's tariffs, he says, will lead to
restoring the growth in steel and manufacturing in the US.
Trade deficits with China, Mexico, and Canada have worsened under
the Biden administration, and tariffs reduced the US China deficit
by thirty five percent and encourage companies like Hondi and
(09:03):
Apple and Volkswagen to invest in America. There's also another
part of this, the fetnyl crisis. Most fetanyl comes from
China and Mexico, fueling record overdose deaths and a border
security crisis. Illegal immigration has also searched, with four hundred
suspected terraces and two million guideways crossing the border under
(09:26):
Biden as well. This is the other reason why the
tariffs Trump says are important to make sure that both
countries start to secure the border. Also, kN it relies
on US trade and defense, but spends far less on
security for the US. The President says, simply put tariff's
work by protecting American jobs, reducing dependency on foreign imports,
(09:49):
and strengthening national security. That is why he says he's
going to do it now. The question is how quickly
can all this be resolved and how long will Canada, China,
and Mexico stand in this back and forth tariff war.
Only timing will tell, but so far Donald Trump has
been very successful and making sure that when he has tariffs,
(10:12):
it makes for a better deal for all Americans.
