Speaker 1 (00:01):
When Donald Trump was running for office, he made it
very clear that one of his big promises was going
to be to protect Americans from terrorists around the world.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Donald Trump paying off on that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Over the past week, President Donald Trump has intensified counter
terrorism efforts both domestically and internationally. Here's a summary of
just the latest developments that you may have missed. Airstrikes
were ordered on March to fifteenth. President Trump authorized large
(00:38):
airstrikes targeting Aramback Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital. This action
was in response to the hoothy threat to the US
shipping assets in the Red Sea. The offensive aims to
protect American interests and ensure navigational.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Freedom for our ships in the region.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The strike resulted in over thirty deaths and more than
one hundred injured. The Houthi leader vowed to continue attacks
on American shipping in the US if US operations persist
quote unquote. Iran's foreign minister also criticized the US actions,
urging an end to Yemeny's civilian casualties. As he described it,
(01:21):
even though, as you and I both know, Iran's foreign
minister has sanctioned an incredible number of deaths of civilians
in their attacks and backing of Hesblat and Hamas and going.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
After the Jews in Israel.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Following by the way the air strikes, US warships intercepted
and destroyed approximately twelve drones that were launched by the
Houthis targeting the US Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. This
marks a significant escalation in hostilities, with the Huthis claiming
the use of the ballistic and cruise missiles along side
(02:00):
drones in their assault. Then the President said, that's not
all I'm dealing with them.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Let me say it again.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The President then said, that's not all I'm doing to
protect you, the American people. Domestic counter terrorism measures also
happened the arrest of an activist on March the tenth,
The Palasinian activists Muhammad Khalil, known for leading the pro
Palestinian protests at Columbia University, was arrested by ICE agents
(02:33):
and the arrest was filmed by his wife. President Trump
praised the arrests, labeling it the first of many to come,
quote unquote. He also accused activists like this individual of
being paid agitators involved in anti American and anti Semitic activities.
(02:55):
This move sparked criticism from quote free speech advocates and
New York City leaders who deemed it unconstitutional. Guess what,
it is absolutely constitutional what the President has done. Then
the President also decided to do something else, the designation
of domestic acts as terrorism. In response to recent vandalism
(03:18):
that has happened against Tesla dealerships, President Trump announced that
such acts would be labeled as domestic terrorism. He emphasized
that perpetrators would face severe consequences, underscoring his support for
the Tesla CEO, who we set down with in our interview,
Elon Musk. Now, the present smart to do this because
what's happening now is radical leftists in this country, anarchists, Marxists,
(03:41):
and socialists. What they have decided to do is go
after Tesla users. They're attacking people in their cars, They're
keying cars, they're destroying cars or setting Tesla charging stations
on fire. They're going after Tesla dealerships and doing incredible
damage to the dealerships, all because Elon Musk is going
(04:04):
after waste, fraud and abuse. We also had the President
doing something else that was pretty amazing, and it comes
to the issue of leadership appointments, Joe Kent's nomination. In
early February of twenty twenty five, President Trump's nominated Joe Kent,
a former Army Special Forces soldier and two time congressional
candidate from Washington State, to lead the National counter Terrorism Center.
(04:29):
Kent's extensive military background is expected to influence the administration's
counter terrorism strategies. So again he's leading, for example by
the people that he's picking. And then there was also
some counter terrorism operations that took place in Africa. In fact,
there were airstrikes in Somalia. The US conducted air strikes
(04:49):
against Islamic State militants hiding in caves in Somalia. The operation,
the first of its kind since President Trump's returned to office,
targeted key ISIS operatives and aim to disrupt their operations
in the region. We also know about the capture of
a terrorist behind the Abby Gate bombing. The apprehension was
(05:11):
announced on March the fourth, when President Trump announced the
capture of the terrorists responsible for that bombing during the
Afghan withdrawal in August of twenty twenty one that results
in the deaths of thirteen American service members. The individual
is currently en route to face American justice, with the
operation highlighting cooperation between US agencies as well as the
(05:33):
Pakistani government. Now, what does all this say put together?
Very simply, it says this, Donald Trump is back in
office with a robust and multi facet approach by his
administration addressing terrorism threats both domestically and internationally. And this
(05:54):
is just over the past week. Look at the headlines.
US shares photos of Trump watching deadly strike against the
Houthi rebels as it revealed US informed Russia of the attack.
Another headline, US military shoots down Houthy drones is Trump
strikes against counter against terrorism groups continue US here strikes.
(06:17):
Another headline reads took out multiple Hooty terror leaders. Trump says,
as Yemen reports thirty one killed. So, whether it is
at home or abroad, what we are witnessing right.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Now is law and order.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Law and order that is clearly now a major part,
I mean a major part of this entire government approach
to putting America first. The President of the United States
of America is putting America first.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And that's incredible, and that's all you can ask for.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's what the voters asked, That's what the voters wanted,
they wanted this to happen. They voted for it to happen,
and it was amazing. The reason why the American people
right now are clearly behind Donald Trump is for the
(07:18):
simple reason that they actually understand.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That this president is keeping us safe.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The media, by the way, they are like losing their
minds because they don't know how to cover this president
in a way that can hurt him right now, because
the American people clearly are responding. I mean, look at
the video that was put out by Donald Trump of
all these gang members being sent out of the country
(07:50):
on these flights. Like I mean, Donald Trump said, these
are monsters that were sent into our country by crooked
Joe Biden, the radical left Democrats. How there they thank
you to El Salvador and in particular President of El
Salvador for understanding of this horrible situation which was allowed
to happen to the United States because of incompetent democratic leadership.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We will not forget.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And he put to the video of all of these
hardened criminals, like hardened criminals, and it's amazing. By the way,
we've got a response now for the White House Press
Secretary Caroline Levitt, responding to allegations of the Trump administration
quote violated of federal court order by not turning the
(08:34):
deportation flights around that we're going to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Here is what she said. Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The administration did not refuse to comply with a court order.
The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after
terrorists TDA aliens had already been removed from US territory.
The written order and the administration's actions do not conflict. Moreover,
as the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear, federal courts
(09:05):
generally have no jurisdiction over the presence conduct of foreign affairs.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
His authorities under the.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Alien Enemies Act and his core Article two powers to
remove foreign alien terrorists from the US soil and repel
a declared invasion.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
A single judge in a single city.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Cannot direct the movement of an aircraft carrier full of
foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil
quote unquote. So that is what the White House Press
Secretary has just said. Now there's something else that you
need to know, and this is this new number that
I love Trump is his highest approval rating ever, period,
(09:50):
full stop.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
More Americans say the US is on the right track than.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Any time in twenty years, so the last two decades.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That is where we are.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The New York Posts coming out with his new poll numbers,
and let me just explain to you how they put it.
They said Trump ties for highest approval he's ever had.
That's kind of a big deal, highest approve rating he's
ever had. Three months into his second term, President Trump
hit the highest approval rating he's ever had as.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
While more Americans say the country is on the right
track than at any point since two thousand and four,
the new poll found go back to two thousand and four.
That was when that was in the year when George
Bush was reelected. That's a long time ago, folks. That's
the good news. According to an NBC News poll released
(10:45):
on Sunday, This is NBC News. The bad news is
that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Fifty four percent.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They say they disapproved of his handling of the economy,
the first time he's lost the majority on that issue
in the NBC polled. That's what they say. Now, I've
love to look at this data and see exactly how
they're getting it, and do they go after more hardcore
liberals than an actual voting block that would represent America.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But we can deal with at in a minute.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Even so, the survey found that voters generally filled Trump
is bringing the right kind of change on the key issues,
even tariffs. More Americans support his changes to trade policy
than oppose it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
According to NBC News.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That despite the side market selloff last week as Wall
Street grappled the Trump's decision earlier this month to slap
twenty five percent across the board tariffs on Canadian and
Mexico goods, as well as twenty percent tariffs on China,
on many other key issues, voters felt the same way,
with Trump's actions.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
On the border being the most popular.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Fifty eight percent said it was a positive change on
government cuts. Forty seven percent said his changes were good,
compared to twenty one percent who opposed it. Again, these
are major numbers. On many other key issues, voters felt
the same way, with Trump's actions on the border being
the most popular, fifty six percent said it's a positive
change on government Cutt's forty seven percent says changes were
(12:08):
good compared to twenty nine percent who opposed it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Even on the handling of the Ukraine War and NATO policies.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He has received a significant pushback on mainly for the
media and the press. More respondents said his actions were
good forty one percent and forty percent that opposed his actions.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Now, this is again coming from.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
NBC News and using their polls are very slanted against
Donald Trump. I go back to the basic issues here.
Donald Trump is hitting on the issues. Caroline Levitt, White
House Press Secretary, on Sunday Morning Futures talking about invoking
the Alien Enemies Act against these gang members who have
(12:50):
invaded our country, which the presidents saying we're going after
into pouring them to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
In just one month, President Trump has used his executive
authority to secure our other border. It proves that everybody
who claimed we needed a border bill was wrong. We
just needed a new president who actually cared about securing
our homeland and enforcing our immigration laws. You mentioned daily
Godaway's seventy seven. That's an astronomical decrease from the previous administration.
(13:17):
There's been a ninety nine percent decrease of illegal migrants
crossing through the Darien Gap. If you talk to border
patrol agents and ICE agents. They will tell you the
camaraderie in these agencies is at an all time high
because they are actually being allowed to do their jobs.
In breaking news, this morning, Maria, the President signed a
proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act against trendy Aragua members
(13:38):
who have invaded our country. These are the most violent,
heinoused criminal monsters you could ever imagine. They have taken
the lives of innocent American women like Jocelyn Nungray and
Lake and Riley. And the President invoked this authority to
deport nearly three hundred of them who are now in
El Salvador, where they will be behind bars where they belong,
rather than roaming freely in American communities.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This is a massive win.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
For the American public and it is going to save lives.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It is going to save lives.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
This is exactly why the President of United States of America,
exactly why he has so much support.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now I'm faced the nation.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This morning, Senator Marco Rubia was asked a simple question
by a hardcore leftist. Her name is Brettan. She's the
host there, and I want you to hear what she said.
And this is the reason why the media is just
losing the American people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Is there any evidence of a link to terrorism or
is it just his her point of view?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, they take over, I mean do not. I mean
you should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings,
shut down.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm asking about justification for the revocation of his visa.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
By the way, they're referencing this student that was arrested
and green card taken away? Who did all these protests
on the college campuses? And I love how Mark Rubia
looks as like, did you should watch the news?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I'm gonna back it up. Listen to that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He's talking to CBS. He's like, are you guys stupid?
Are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
They take over, I mean do not. I mean you
should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings, college,
they shut down.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Justification for the revocation of his visa? Was there any evident?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So was the negotiator on it, negotiating on behalf of
people that took over a campus, that vandalized buildings, negotiating
over what that's a crime in and of itself that
they're involved in, being the negotiator of the spokesperson this
that and the other.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We don't want it.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
We don't need these people in our country.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That we don't need these people in our country. Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Now you look at all the President Trump is doing
and all the things that we're talking about here, and
it goes back to what Donald Trump said in an
interview recently. He said, simply put, we didn't need a
bunch of new laws. We just needed a new president.
He's not wrong. You secure the border and days after
(16:02):
becoming president there was no new laws passed.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
We have ninety nine percent.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Improvement from Biden and that was his better you know,
he started around the election working a little bit harder
and they got a little bit better. Was horrible still,
So we're comparing it to his best time, comparing it
to the worst time. It's like it's not even you
can't calculate it. How much better. So we have now
(16:28):
the best border we've ever had, and we did that in.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
A period of five weeks.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Actually, does that.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Imply that we don't need to add a bunch of
money and forces. In fact, maybe you could draw down
or reappoint the force and manpower that's down there, and
we don't need new laws and new money.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Well, you don't need very many new laws because I
did it without new laws. I did it twice without
new laws. I had the best border ever. And now
I think we're going to beat those numbers. Actually think
these numbers, i'd be slightly better, and we're going to
get them better yet. And I said during the speech
on Tuesday night, I said that you didn't need anything,
(17:09):
you just needed a new president for that. I said,
close the border, and they closed the border. He could
have done the same thing. I think he wanted open borders.
I don't know if he did, but somebody into it
ran the operation. Nobody really knows who was running it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I mean, it's incredible, isn't it it? I mean, really,
it really is incredible. The president, what he's been able
to do so quickly, Like this is not hard. It's
just it's it's a simple issue of enforcing what's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Like you just enforce the laws. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You enforce the laws that are on the books. And
when you enforce those laws the way that he's clearly
doing it now, then what happens. It's a huge victory
for everyone. Again, it's not harror. And you notice how
like just calm and collected the president is when he's
(18:05):
talking about it like we didn't need a bunch of
different things. We need a new leadership. We need something
that actually did the job and and and said we're
going to stand up.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
For the American people.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We're going to put the American people's safety and security
first instead of putting it last. That's what we're going
to do differently. And when you hear the President talk
about the way that he has and you look at
the results that we're talking about here, like the results
that we're talking about here are incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Talked about just the US launching the air strike that
these are ramback Hooti rebels and Yemen. And again the
media is angry that Donald Trump is taking out terrorists,
and listen to what he said.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
The difference is these were not kind of ten prick
back and forth what ultimately proved to be effeckless attacks.
This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple hoothy
leaders and took them out. And the difference here is
one going after the Hoothy leadership and two holding Iran responsible.
(19:15):
It is Iran that has repeatedly funded, resourced, trained, and
helped The Hoothy's target not only US warships but global commerce,
and has helped the houthis shut down two of the
world's most strategic sea lanes.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We have Martha.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Seventy percent of global shipping is now diverting around Southern Africa,
adding to the cost of goods, disrupting global economies, adding
to or shutting off supplies to the United States. President
Trump is founded unacceptable. What we inherited was a terrible situation,
(19:58):
and this is one of what will be a sustained
effort to right that wrong and to reopen global commerce.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
This is the reason why the president has the highest
approval rating of any president since two thousand and four.
You go back to Marco Rubio and what he said
about the same thing. Why are we going after these
terrorists this way? By the way, this isn't preemptive, This
isn't reaction too. And the media doesn't want you to
(20:26):
understand that. They want you to think, oh, Donald Trump's
just going rogue.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Listen to Rubio.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Well, first of all, the problem here is that this
is a very important shipping lane, and in the last
year and a half, last eighteen months, to who thieves
have struck or attacked one hundred and seventy four naval
vessels of the United States, attacking the US Navy directly
one hundred and seventy four times, and one hundred and
forty five times they've attacked commercial shipping. So we basically
have a band of pirates, you know, with guided precision
(20:51):
anti ship weaponry and of addacting a toll system and
one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
That's just not sustainable. We are not going to have
these people controlling which ships can go through and which
ones cannot. And so your question is how long will
this go on? It will go on until they no
longer have the capability to do that.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, what does US intelligence tell us at this point?
Because the US had been conducting strikes for some time
but has not stopped the hoo thies. So what's going
to be different right now? Do you have more fidelity
in the intelligence that would make this more successful.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Well, those strikes were a retaliation strike, so they launched
one missile, we hit the missile launcher, or we sent
something to do. This is not a message, This is
not a one off. This is an effort to deny
them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And this is not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
We're not going to have these guys, these people with
weapons able to tell us where our ships can go,
where the ships of all the world can go. By
the way, it's not just the US we're doing the
world of favor. We're doing the entire world of favor
by getting rid of these guys and their ability to
strike global shipping. That's the mission here, and it will
continue until that's carried out. That never happened before. The
Biden administration didn't do that. All the Biden administration would
(22:06):
do is they would respond to an attack. These guys
would launch one rocket, We'd hit the rocket launcher.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
This is an effort to take away their ability to
control global shipping in that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's just not going to happen anymore.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And it could be well continue until that's finished.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It could involve ground raids.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Well, those are military decisions to be made, but I've
heard no talk of ground raids. I don't think there's
a necessity for it right now. I can tell you
that as of last night, some of the key people
involved in those missile launches are no longer with US,
and I can tell you that some of the facilities
that they use are no longer existing and that will continue. Look,
it's bottom line, an easy way to understand it. Okay,
these guys are able to control what ships can go
(22:43):
through there. They've attacked the US Navy one hundred and
seventy four times. They've attacked the United States Navy. We're
not going to have people sitting around with the missiles
attacking the US Navy. It's not going to happen, not
under President Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Not under President Trump where all this is about, Not
under President Trump. And you go on the issue of
border security, Trump, you just need a new president. Listen
to Donald Trump in a new interview that he did
talking about how America is getting ripped off. This goes
(23:17):
back to again Donald Trump saying, I'm putting America first.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Well, we as a country have been ripped off for
years and years, decades and decades, and you've covered it
on your show. I've seen it. To Canada is a
disaster for US. We lose close to two hundred billion
dollars with Canada. Nobody did anything. Nobody said that with
Canada that they charge our farmers think of this. They
they have for dairy products, some dairy products two hundred
(23:43):
and seventy percent tariff.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Nobody knows that, nobody to trink that down to like
common terms. So our farmers may have a product such
as what and we sell it to Canada.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
So we want to sell milk into Canada, and they
throw a two hundred and seventy percent price increase on
the milk, which means we don't have much of a market,
which means we don't sell milk in Canada. It's almost
it's called the monetary tariff. But they have a lot
of non monetary tariffs too, that's things unrelated to you know,
they'll have a standard that they'll say you didn't meet
or something that's called the non monitory.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
So you put a tariff on what, for example, to
try to counter the milk tariff.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, I can put a tariff on anything, but in
the case of Canada, I put it on steel and aluminum.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We they want to sell their stuff to us.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
We have a lot of tariffs that we're going to
be putting on. It really hits on April second, and
actually we've been very consistent. I think a lot of Oh,
people are loving what I'm doing. The real business people
are loving it. We're going to make America rich again.
But we're going to have tariffs on automobiles. We're going
to have tariffs or on steel. We're going to have
tariffs on aluminum and copper and many, many different things.
(24:52):
And they're going to be very consistent, and I've been
very consistent. I did give General Motors and are Big
Three actually a month of relief because they would have
had a very unfair disadvantage over other car makers, which
I didn't want. So I did that. And I think
there was something I did from the fact that you know,
(25:13):
I want to take care of our car companies, but
you have and you've been reading about it and seeing it.
We have companies moving into the United States at levels
that has never been seen before. We have many many
car factories going up.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
If I understand it correctly, the benefits that would come
from some of that may largely be down the road,
which well.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
No, I think immediately, Look, when you're building those plants,
a lot of money comes in from those plants. You know,
you're using companies, subcontractors, contractors, concrete companies and steel companies
and you can see it initially, but you can see
it more down the road when they open up.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I love how they try it. Well, this may not
happen right away. No, no, it actually will actually will
happen right away. This is what winning sounds like. This
is what putting America first looks like. This is what
having a present that cares about America more than other countries.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
How many of you.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Knew what he just said there about the milk the
tariffs they put on milk, so it's impossible for us
to sell milk to Canada because the tariff on it
is so insane. When you hear that, he says, we're
getting ripped off by them. Like when you explain it
(26:37):
the way that he is explaining it, it's incredibly simple
and easy.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But when you hear it, you've got to share it too.
You got to take our show. You got to share it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
By the way, don't forget grab our podcast the Ben
Ferguson podcasts wherever you get your podcasts and listen each
and every day the forty seven Morning Update that ten
to twelve minute podcasts, and do every morning as well.
Grab that and tomorrow morning the show I do with
Tach Cruz will have Elon Musk and grab that one
as well.
When Donald Trump was running for office, he made it
very clear that one of his big promises was going
to be to protect Americans from terrorists around the world.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Donald Trump paying off on that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Over the past week, President Donald Trump has intensified counter
terrorism efforts both domestically and internationally. Here's a summary of
just the latest developments that you may have missed. Airstrikes
were ordered on March to fifteenth. President Trump authorized large
(00:38):
airstrikes targeting Aramback Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital. This action
was in response to the hoothy threat to the US
shipping assets in the Red Sea. The offensive aims to
protect American interests and ensure navigational.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Freedom for our ships in the region.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The strike resulted in over thirty deaths and more than
one hundred injured. The Houthi leader vowed to continue attacks
on American shipping in the US if US operations persist
quote unquote. Iran's foreign minister also criticized the US actions,
urging an end to Yemeny's civilian casualties. As he described it,
(01:21):
even though, as you and I both know, Iran's foreign
minister has sanctioned an incredible number of deaths of civilians
in their attacks and backing of Hesblat and Hamas and going.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
After the Jews in Israel.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Following by the way the air strikes, US warships intercepted
and destroyed approximately twelve drones that were launched by the
Houthis targeting the US Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. This
marks a significant escalation in hostilities, with the Huthis claiming
the use of the ballistic and cruise missiles along side
(02:00):
drones in their assault. Then the President said, that's not
all I'm dealing with them.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Let me say it again.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The President then said, that's not all I'm doing to
protect you, the American people. Domestic counter terrorism measures also
happened the arrest of an activist on March the tenth,
The Palasinian activists Muhammad Khalil, known for leading the pro
Palestinian protests at Columbia University, was arrested by ICE agents
(02:33):
and the arrest was filmed by his wife. President Trump
praised the arrests, labeling it the first of many to come,
quote unquote. He also accused activists like this individual of
being paid agitators involved in anti American and anti Semitic activities.
(02:55):
This move sparked criticism from quote free speech advocates and
New York City leaders who deemed it unconstitutional. Guess what,
it is absolutely constitutional what the President has done. Then
the President also decided to do something else, the designation
of domestic acts as terrorism. In response to recent vandalism
(03:18):
that has happened against Tesla dealerships, President Trump announced that
such acts would be labeled as domestic terrorism. He emphasized
that perpetrators would face severe consequences, underscoring his support for
the Tesla CEO, who we set down with in our interview,
Elon Musk. Now, the present smart to do this because
what's happening now is radical leftists in this country, anarchists, Marxists,
(03:41):
and socialists. What they have decided to do is go
after Tesla users. They're attacking people in their cars, They're
keying cars, they're destroying cars or setting Tesla charging stations
on fire. They're going after Tesla dealerships and doing incredible
damage to the dealerships, all because Elon Musk is going
(04:04):
after waste, fraud and abuse. We also had the President
doing something else that was pretty amazing, and it comes
to the issue of leadership appointments, Joe Kent's nomination. In
early February of twenty twenty five, President Trump's nominated Joe Kent,
a former Army Special Forces soldier and two time congressional
candidate from Washington State, to lead the National counter Terrorism Center.
(04:29):
Kent's extensive military background is expected to influence the administration's
counter terrorism strategies. So again he's leading, for example by
the people that he's picking. And then there was also
some counter terrorism operations that took place in Africa. In fact,
there were airstrikes in Somalia. The US conducted air strikes
(04:49):
against Islamic State militants hiding in caves in Somalia. The operation,
the first of its kind since President Trump's returned to office,
targeted key ISIS operatives and aim to disrupt their operations
in the region. We also know about the capture of
a terrorist behind the Abby Gate bombing. The apprehension was
(05:11):
announced on March the fourth, when President Trump announced the
capture of the terrorists responsible for that bombing during the
Afghan withdrawal in August of twenty twenty one that results
in the deaths of thirteen American service members. The individual
is currently en route to face American justice, with the
operation highlighting cooperation between US agencies as well as the
(05:33):
Pakistani government. Now, what does all this say put together?
Very simply, it says this, Donald Trump is back in
office with a robust and multi facet approach by his
administration addressing terrorism threats both domestically and internationally. And this
(05:54):
is just over the past week. Look at the headlines.
US shares photos of Trump watching deadly strike against the
Houthi rebels as it revealed US informed Russia of the attack.
Another headline, US military shoots down Houthy drones is Trump
strikes against counter against terrorism groups continue US here strikes.
(06:17):
Another headline reads took out multiple Hooty terror leaders. Trump says,
as Yemen reports thirty one killed. So, whether it is
at home or abroad, what we are witnessing right.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Now is law and order.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Law and order that is clearly now a major part,
I mean a major part of this entire government approach
to putting America first. The President of the United States
of America is putting America first.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And that's incredible, and that's all you can ask for.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's what the voters asked, That's what the voters wanted,
they wanted this to happen. They voted for it to happen,
and it was amazing. The reason why the American people
right now are clearly behind Donald Trump is for the
(07:18):
simple reason that they actually understand.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That this president is keeping us safe.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The media, by the way, they are like losing their
minds because they don't know how to cover this president
in a way that can hurt him right now, because
the American people clearly are responding. I mean, look at
the video that was put out by Donald Trump of
all these gang members being sent out of the country
(07:50):
on these flights. Like I mean, Donald Trump said, these
are monsters that were sent into our country by crooked
Joe Biden, the radical left Democrats. How there they thank
you to El Salvador and in particular President of El
Salvador for understanding of this horrible situation which was allowed
to happen to the United States because of incompetent democratic leadership.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We will not forget.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And he put to the video of all of these
hardened criminals, like hardened criminals, and it's amazing. By the way,
we've got a response now for the White House Press
Secretary Caroline Levitt, responding to allegations of the Trump administration
quote violated of federal court order by not turning the
(08:34):
deportation flights around that we're going to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Here is what she said. Quote.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The administration did not refuse to comply with a court order.
The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after
terrorists TDA aliens had already been removed from US territory.
The written order and the administration's actions do not conflict. Moreover,
as the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear, federal courts
(09:05):
generally have no jurisdiction over the presence conduct of foreign affairs.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
His authorities under the.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Alien Enemies Act and his core Article two powers to
remove foreign alien terrorists from the US soil and repel
a declared invasion.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
A single judge in a single city.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Cannot direct the movement of an aircraft carrier full of
foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil
quote unquote. So that is what the White House Press
Secretary has just said. Now there's something else that you
need to know, and this is this new number that
I love Trump is his highest approval rating ever, period,
(09:50):
full stop.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
More Americans say the US is on the right track than.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Any time in twenty years, so the last two decades.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That is where we are.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The New York Posts coming out with his new poll numbers,
and let me just explain to you how they put it.
They said Trump ties for highest approval he's ever had.
That's kind of a big deal, highest approve rating he's
ever had. Three months into his second term, President Trump
hit the highest approval rating he's ever had as.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
A commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
While more Americans say the country is on the right
track than at any point since two thousand and four,
the new poll found go back to two thousand and four.
That was when that was in the year when George
Bush was reelected. That's a long time ago, folks. That's
the good news. According to an NBC News poll released
(10:45):
on Sunday, This is NBC News. The bad news is
that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Fifty four percent.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They say they disapproved of his handling of the economy,
the first time he's lost the majority on that issue
in the NBC polled. That's what they say. Now, I've
love to look at this data and see exactly how
they're getting it, and do they go after more hardcore
liberals than an actual voting block that would represent America.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But we can deal with at in a minute.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Even so, the survey found that voters generally filled Trump
is bringing the right kind of change on the key issues,
even tariffs. More Americans support his changes to trade policy
than oppose it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
According to NBC News.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That despite the side market selloff last week as Wall
Street grappled the Trump's decision earlier this month to slap
twenty five percent across the board tariffs on Canadian and
Mexico goods, as well as twenty percent tariffs on China,
on many other key issues, voters felt the same way,
with Trump's actions.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
On the border being the most popular.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Fifty eight percent said it was a positive change on
government cuts. Forty seven percent said his changes were good,
compared to twenty one percent who opposed it. Again, these
are major numbers. On many other key issues, voters felt
the same way, with Trump's actions on the border being
the most popular, fifty six percent said it's a positive
change on government Cutt's forty seven percent says changes were
(12:08):
good compared to twenty nine percent who opposed it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Even on the handling of the Ukraine War and NATO policies.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He has received a significant pushback on mainly for the
media and the press. More respondents said his actions were
good forty one percent and forty percent that opposed his actions.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Now, this is again coming from.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
NBC News and using their polls are very slanted against
Donald Trump. I go back to the basic issues here.
Donald Trump is hitting on the issues. Caroline Levitt, White
House Press Secretary, on Sunday Morning Futures talking about invoking
the Alien Enemies Act against these gang members who have
(12:50):
invaded our country, which the presidents saying we're going after
into pouring them to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
In just one month, President Trump has used his executive
authority to secure our other border. It proves that everybody
who claimed we needed a border bill was wrong. We
just needed a new president who actually cared about securing
our homeland and enforcing our immigration laws. You mentioned daily
Godaway's seventy seven. That's an astronomical decrease from the previous administration.
(13:17):
There's been a ninety nine percent decrease of illegal migrants
crossing through the Darien Gap. If you talk to border
patrol agents and ICE agents. They will tell you the
camaraderie in these agencies is at an all time high
because they are actually being allowed to do their jobs.
In breaking news, this morning, Maria, the President signed a
proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act against trendy Aragua members
(13:38):
who have invaded our country. These are the most violent,
heinoused criminal monsters you could ever imagine. They have taken
the lives of innocent American women like Jocelyn Nungray and
Lake and Riley. And the President invoked this authority to
deport nearly three hundred of them who are now in
El Salvador, where they will be behind bars where they belong,
rather than roaming freely in American communities.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This is a massive win.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
For the American public and it is going to save lives.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It is going to save lives.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
This is exactly why the President of United States of America,
exactly why he has so much support.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now I'm faced the nation.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This morning, Senator Marco Rubia was asked a simple question
by a hardcore leftist. Her name is Brettan. She's the
host there, and I want you to hear what she said.
And this is the reason why the media is just
losing the American people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Is there any evidence of a link to terrorism or
is it just his her point of view?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, they take over, I mean do not. I mean
you should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings,
shut down.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm asking about justification for the revocation of his visa.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
By the way, they're referencing this student that was arrested
and green card taken away? Who did all these protests
on the college campuses? And I love how Mark Rubia
looks as like, did you should watch the news?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I'm gonna back it up. Listen to that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He's talking to CBS. He's like, are you guys stupid?
Are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
They take over, I mean do not. I mean you
should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings, college,
they shut down.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Justification for the revocation of his visa? Was there any evident?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So was the negotiator on it, negotiating on behalf of
people that took over a campus, that vandalized buildings, negotiating
over what that's a crime in and of itself that
they're involved in, being the negotiator of the spokesperson this
that and the other.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We don't want it.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
We don't need these people in our country.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That we don't need these people in our country. Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Now you look at all the President Trump is doing
and all the things that we're talking about here, and
it goes back to what Donald Trump said in an
interview recently. He said, simply put, we didn't need a
bunch of new laws. We just needed a new president.
He's not wrong. You secure the border and days after
(16:02):
becoming president there was no new laws passed.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
We have ninety nine percent.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Improvement from Biden and that was his better you know,
he started around the election working a little bit harder
and they got a little bit better. Was horrible still,
So we're comparing it to his best time, comparing it
to the worst time. It's like it's not even you
can't calculate it. How much better. So we have now
(16:28):
the best border we've ever had, and we did that in.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
A period of five weeks.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Actually, does that.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Imply that we don't need to add a bunch of
money and forces. In fact, maybe you could draw down
or reappoint the force and manpower that's down there, and
we don't need new laws and new money.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Well, you don't need very many new laws because I
did it without new laws. I did it twice without
new laws. I had the best border ever. And now
I think we're going to beat those numbers. Actually think
these numbers, i'd be slightly better, and we're going to
get them better yet. And I said during the speech
on Tuesday night, I said that you didn't need anything,
(17:09):
you just needed a new president for that. I said,
close the border, and they closed the border. He could
have done the same thing. I think he wanted open borders.
I don't know if he did, but somebody into it
ran the operation. Nobody really knows who was running it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I mean, it's incredible, isn't it it? I mean, really,
it really is incredible. The president, what he's been able
to do so quickly, Like this is not hard. It's
just it's it's a simple issue of enforcing what's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Like you just enforce the laws. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You enforce the laws that are on the books. And
when you enforce those laws the way that he's clearly
doing it now, then what happens. It's a huge victory
for everyone. Again, it's not harror. And you notice how
like just calm and collected the president is when he's
(18:05):
talking about it like we didn't need a bunch of
different things. We need a new leadership. We need something
that actually did the job and and and said we're
going to stand up.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
For the American people.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We're going to put the American people's safety and security
first instead of putting it last. That's what we're going
to do differently. And when you hear the President talk
about the way that he has and you look at
the results that we're talking about here, like the results
that we're talking about here are incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Talked about just the US launching the air strike that
these are ramback Hooti rebels and Yemen. And again the
media is angry that Donald Trump is taking out terrorists,
and listen to what he said.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
The difference is these were not kind of ten prick
back and forth what ultimately proved to be effeckless attacks.
This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple hoothy
leaders and took them out. And the difference here is
one going after the Hoothy leadership and two holding Iran responsible.
(19:15):
It is Iran that has repeatedly funded, resourced, trained, and
helped The Hoothy's target not only US warships but global commerce,
and has helped the houthis shut down two of the
world's most strategic sea lanes.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We have Martha.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Seventy percent of global shipping is now diverting around Southern Africa,
adding to the cost of goods, disrupting global economies, adding
to or shutting off supplies to the United States. President
Trump is founded unacceptable. What we inherited was a terrible situation,
(19:58):
and this is one of what will be a sustained
effort to right that wrong and to reopen global commerce.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
This is the reason why the president has the highest
approval rating of any president since two thousand and four.
You go back to Marco Rubio and what he said
about the same thing. Why are we going after these
terrorists this way? By the way, this isn't preemptive, This
isn't reaction too. And the media doesn't want you to
(20:26):
understand that. They want you to think, oh, Donald Trump's
just going rogue.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Listen to Rubio.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Well, first of all, the problem here is that this
is a very important shipping lane, and in the last
year and a half, last eighteen months, to who thieves
have struck or attacked one hundred and seventy four naval
vessels of the United States, attacking the US Navy directly
one hundred and seventy four times, and one hundred and
forty five times they've attacked commercial shipping. So we basically
have a band of pirates, you know, with guided precision
(20:51):
anti ship weaponry and of addacting a toll system and
one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
That's just not sustainable. We are not going to have
these people controlling which ships can go through and which
ones cannot. And so your question is how long will
this go on? It will go on until they no
longer have the capability to do that.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, what does US intelligence tell us at this point?
Because the US had been conducting strikes for some time
but has not stopped the hoo thies. So what's going
to be different right now? Do you have more fidelity
in the intelligence that would make this more successful.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Well, those strikes were a retaliation strike, so they launched
one missile, we hit the missile launcher, or we sent
something to do. This is not a message, This is
not a one off. This is an effort to deny
them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And this is not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
We're not going to have these guys, these people with
weapons able to tell us where our ships can go,
where the ships of all the world can go. By
the way, it's not just the US we're doing the
world of favor. We're doing the entire world of favor
by getting rid of these guys and their ability to
strike global shipping. That's the mission here, and it will
continue until that's carried out. That never happened before. The
Biden administration didn't do that. All the Biden administration would
(22:06):
do is they would respond to an attack. These guys
would launch one rocket, We'd hit the rocket launcher.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
This is an effort to take away their ability to
control global shipping in that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
That's just not going to happen anymore.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And it could be well continue until that's finished.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It could involve ground raids.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Well, those are military decisions to be made, but I've
heard no talk of ground raids. I don't think there's
a necessity for it right now. I can tell you
that as of last night, some of the key people
involved in those missile launches are no longer with US,
and I can tell you that some of the facilities
that they use are no longer existing and that will continue. Look,
it's bottom line, an easy way to understand it. Okay,
these guys are able to control what ships can go
(22:43):
through there. They've attacked the US Navy one hundred and
seventy four times. They've attacked the United States Navy. We're
not going to have people sitting around with the missiles
attacking the US Navy. It's not going to happen, not
under President Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Not under President Trump where all this is about, Not
under President Trump. And you go on the issue of
border security, Trump, you just need a new president. Listen
to Donald Trump in a new interview that he did
talking about how America is getting ripped off. This goes
(23:17):
back to again Donald Trump saying, I'm putting America first.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Well, we as a country have been ripped off for
years and years, decades and decades, and you've covered it
on your show. I've seen it. To Canada is a
disaster for US. We lose close to two hundred billion
dollars with Canada. Nobody did anything. Nobody said that with
Canada that they charge our farmers think of this. They
they have for dairy products, some dairy products two hundred
(23:43):
and seventy percent tariff.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Nobody knows that, nobody to trink that down to like
common terms. So our farmers may have a product such
as what and we sell it to Canada.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
So we want to sell milk into Canada, and they
throw a two hundred and seventy percent price increase on
the milk, which means we don't have much of a market,
which means we don't sell milk in Canada. It's almost
it's called the monetary tariff. But they have a lot
of non monetary tariffs too, that's things unrelated to you know,
they'll have a standard that they'll say you didn't meet
or something that's called the non monitory.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
So you put a tariff on what, for example, to
try to counter the milk tariff.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, I can put a tariff on anything, but in
the case of Canada, I put it on steel and aluminum.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
We they want to sell their stuff to us.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
We have a lot of tariffs that we're going to
be putting on. It really hits on April second, and
actually we've been very consistent. I think a lot of Oh,
people are loving what I'm doing. The real business people
are loving it. We're going to make America rich again.
But we're going to have tariffs on automobiles. We're going
to have tariffs or on steel. We're going to have
tariffs on aluminum and copper and many, many different things.
(24:52):
And they're going to be very consistent, and I've been
very consistent. I did give General Motors and are Big
Three actually a month of relief because they would have
had a very unfair disadvantage over other car makers, which
I didn't want. So I did that. And I think
there was something I did from the fact that you know,
(25:13):
I want to take care of our car companies, but
you have and you've been reading about it and seeing it.
We have companies moving into the United States at levels
that has never been seen before. We have many many
car factories going up.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
If I understand it correctly, the benefits that would come
from some of that may largely be down the road,
which well.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
No, I think immediately, Look, when you're building those plants,
a lot of money comes in from those plants. You know,
you're using companies, subcontractors, contractors, concrete companies and steel companies
and you can see it initially, but you can see
it more down the road when they open up.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I love how they try it. Well, this may not
happen right away. No, no, it actually will actually will
happen right away. This is what winning sounds like. This
is what putting America first looks like. This is what
having a present that cares about America more than other countries.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
How many of you.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Knew what he just said there about the milk the
tariffs they put on milk, so it's impossible for us
