• 0:45
  Speaker 3: We also now know that there was quite a few
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: on the terrace watch lists. The President has been able
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to take off the streets. This as there's new concerns
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: about sleeper cells in the US that have been activated
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: because of the war in Iran. This year marks a
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: critical moment for our country as the opposition grows more
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: aggressive and unapologetic. The fight now reaches into the everyday
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: decisions we make. Patriot Mobile has been standing on the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: front lines fighting for freedom for more than twelve years.

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: forty seven morning Update, and it starts right now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I want to start with a story that the mainstream
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: media doesn't want to spend a lot of time talking
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: about because it completely destroys the narrative that they push
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for years about border enforcement. When Donald Trump ran for
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: office again, he made a very clear promise to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: American people, secure the border and remove the most dangerous
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: criminals who entered this country illegally. Now, let's be clear,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: this is a story right now that matters when it
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: comes to national security. We all know about the real
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: concerns over sleeper cells terrists that came in across our
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: southern border that have been activated because of what we
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: are doing in Iran and in the Middle East in general.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: That is the reason why this story of immigration is
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: now coming back to be a much bigger story than
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: just people running across the border from Latin American countries.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: There are many people that came across our southern border
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: that was wide open under the Biden administration who were
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in fact on the terrorists watch lists. How do we
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: know that because our own government, including during the time
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: that Joe Biden was present, said it was actually happening
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: more than any of US could have imagined that men
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and women were coming across the southern border, and many
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of them were on the terrorists watch lists. Now, when
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Trump ran for office, he said, I promise to the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: American people, I will secure that border. And not only
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: has he done it, but he's done it in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: way that many Americans say was a very humane way
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of doing it. Now, he didn't just talk about securing
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the border as many others have done the past. He
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: literally did it. And now that promise is being backed
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: up with hard numbers. According to the Immigration and Customs
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, enforcement operations surged
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: almost immediately after President Trump took office. Again, in the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: first fifty days alone, we now know that federal agents
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: arrested more than thirty two thousand illegal immigrants in nationwide
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: enforcement operations. Let me repeat that, thirty two thousand arrests
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: in just the first fifty days. And here's the part
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: that the media won't talk about at all. Nearly seventy
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: percent of those arrests already had criminal canvictions or were
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: facing criminal charges. These weren't random people being picked up.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: These were criminals, many of them violent, and some of
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: them on the terrorists watch list. Now, out of those arrests,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: we also have learned now that more than fourteen thousand
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: of them were illegal immigrants already convicted of crimes not
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: in other countries, but crimes in the United States of America.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Another ten thousand were facing pending criminal charges not in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: other countries, but in the United States of America. And
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: then when you dig deeper into these numbers that we
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: now are seeing, it gets even more shocking. Federal agents
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: were now being told arrested one thousand, one hundred and
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: fifty five suspected gang members in the first fifty days,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: forty four foreign fugitives wanted in other countries, twenty nine
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: individuals flagged as suspected terrasts. Yes, I'm going to give
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you that number again. In the first fifty days that
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump was back in office, twenty nine individuals were
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: flagged as suspected terrorists. That is what the Democrats led
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: into this country with open borders, and they knew it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Now the story gets even more disturbing when you look
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: specifically at crimes against children, because one of the top
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: priorities of these operations under Trump's leadership have been tracking
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: down illegal immigrants who are accused or convicted of sexual
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: crimes involving minors. For example, in just the Houston, Texas
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: region alone, ICE report arresting two hundred and fourteen illegal
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: immigrants charged with or convicted of child sex crimes in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the first six months of the Trump administration. That is
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fourteen child predators in one single region
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and official state. The number has already surpassed the total
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: arrests of those crimes during the entire previous year when
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden was in charge. Now, these cases included crimes
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: like sexual assault of a child, child molestation, sexual exportation
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: of minors, possession of child pornography. And now we've gotten
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the newest numbers to add to that base. We now
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: know from ICE that four hundred and fourteen illegal alien
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: child sex offenders were arrested in the Houston area alone
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: during President Trump's first year in office. Why is the
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: media not telling you this story. This isn't nationwide, this
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: is in one city. The headline from the local paper
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: reads this way, more than four hundred criminal legal aliens
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: have been charged with or convicted of child sex crimes
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: have been arrested in Houston Texas, and official stated parents
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: can sleep a little bit better knowing those individuals are
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: no longer a threat to their family. Now these are
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: the same people the Democrats want you to feel sorry for.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: ICE announced on Monday that the enforcement and removal operations
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: in Houston not only netted one hundred no weight I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: sorry the four hundred and fourteen illegals during President Trump's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: first year back in office, but officials said the number
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: almost doubled that of predators arrested during the final year
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: of Joe Biden's administration. As a group, the arrested criminal
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: legal aliens accounted for seven hundred and sixty one child
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: sex offenses and five hundred and twenty five other criminal offenses,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: ranging from homicide to robbery. The announcement states, ICE then
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: listed some of the arrestees who came from countries such
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: as Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Columbia, and the United Kingdom.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Now these are the crimes that have been committed, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: some of them are absolutely heinous. Illegal aliens have been
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: accused of or convicted of committing crimes against children in
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the United States of America at extremely young ages. One
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: report in January was that an illegal alien was accused
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: of raping a fourteen year old girl with autism in
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the sanctuary state of California. For example, the following month,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: an illegal alien fugitive was charged with possession of child
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: sexual abuse material commonly known as child pornography. In another case,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Texas Highway Patrolled troopers on horseback tracked and arrested an
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: illegal alien on a remote border ranch in Maverick County
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: on New Year's Day. The troopers closed in on their
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: target just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas, shortly before noon.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Troopers identified the man as a previously deported illegal alien,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: a convicted sex offender with multiple convictions for child related
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: sexual crimes. ICE is also arrested one one thousand, five
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: hundred and five illegal aliens in November, including gang members,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: child rapists, and foreign fugitives. The outlet also reported, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: there's also yes more on the terrace watch lists now
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: regarding the four hundred and fourteen illegal aliens convicted of
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: or charged with child sex crimes who were caught in
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Houston alone. ICE Enforcement Removal Operations acting field directors said
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: this while elected officials and media pundits across the country
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: were zealously trying to manipulate the American public with fake
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: news stories about ICE public safety missions. The brave men
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and women of ICE were quietly going about their business
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: to arrest and remove more than four hundred dangerous child
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: predators from our local community in Houston. Thanks to their
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: tireless efforts, parents across Southeast Texas can sleep a little
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: bit better tonight knowing that these pedophiles and child rapists
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: are no longer a threat to their children. Which brings
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: us back to the big part of the conversation. Why
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: is the media not covering this? And why is it
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: that the media, which is now obsessed with sleeper cells
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: in the country, even new warnings of possible attacks in California,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: for example, by these sleeper cells. Why are they not
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: telling you about how many people on the terrorists watch
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: lists have been caught, how many of them came across
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the border that we know are in this country illegally,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and that the Biden administration knew for a fact that
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the open border policy was allowing for terrorists to come
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: into America. Many of them may be in the sleeper
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: cells that so many are now concerned about. This is
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: exactly why I wanted to spend the time talking to
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you about it. Right now, not only is the border
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a national security issue, but it's also a national security
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: issue not just from a terrorism perspective, but from a
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: child's safety perspective. There are so many people that came
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: across our border, and the former administration and the Democratic
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Party knew that there were really bad people that were
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: coming across, and they deliberately chose to allow those people
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: across while flooding this country with tens of millions of
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. Why did they do it? Because they want
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to fundamentally change this country. They want to change the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: fabric of this country, the values of this country, just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like we are witnessing right now in Europe and other
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: nations around the world. That is the plan of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party. Now, the president of the United States of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: America has one thing that is really working to his advantage.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: There is new CNN polling that is out right now
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: that says, today the Dems are pulling worse on immigration
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: than they did during Trump's first term in office. Which
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: party do you trust more on immigration? Take a listen
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to this from CNN's own reporting.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's so important to note after all the
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: events in Los Angeles, after all the event Minneapolis have,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: after all the events of the last year. On immigration,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: can Democrats actually take advantage on this issue? And a
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: look at the polling suggests actually, no, They're in a
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: worse position, in a worse position than they were at
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: this point during Donald Trump's first term. Take a look here,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: trust which party more in immigration? In twenty eighteen, Democrats
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: had an edge of about six points. You come over
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: to this side of the screen.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Now, look at that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Republicans are the ones who have actually have an edge
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: on immigration. So this whole idea that Democrats are going
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to be able to take advantage of the immigration group
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: of the immigration issue actually doesn't bear itself out in
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: the polling despite everything that's been going on. In fact,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Democrats are in a worse position than they were during
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's first term. Yeah, maybe they don't like what
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump the president is doing, but they don't think
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Democrats will.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Do a better job.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Correct, They think Democrats will do a worse job on immigration.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Dem Republican. All right, what about border security in general? Okay,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: border security in general? So this is immigration at large?
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: What about border security? Look at this, look at these numbers,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: how party trusted more on border security again at this
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: point Trump's terms. Look at this in twenty eighteen, Republicans
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: at a thirteen point advantage. If anything, the advantage is
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: a little bit larger now, Republicans up by fifteen points.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: So when you put it all together, you put immigration
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: with border security and the idea that Democrats will be
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: able to take the ball and run away on it,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: the polling data suggests no, no, no, this is actually
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: an issue that Republicans should be more comfortable running on
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: than Democrats. Democrats running immigration may actually be to the
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Republicans advantage.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: What a So you listen to CNNs on reporting now
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: and now you realize that the Dems are pulling worse
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: on immigration than they did during Trump's first term. Why
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: is that? Because of this? Nationwide immigration officials say roughly
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: seventy percent of all ICE arrests now involve illegal immigrants
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: who have already committed crimes in the United States of America.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: That means the focus of these operations is very clear.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: They are literally removing the most dangerous offenders. First, when
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: you look at the broader enforcement picture under President Trump,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the scale of the crackdown becomes even clear. Federal authorities
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: say immigration enforcement teams are now targeting violent offenders, gang members, terrorists,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: repeat border crossers, human traffickers, sex traffickers, and child predators,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: all part of what the DHS calls a strategy to
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: remove the worst of the worst. So even as Democrats
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: claim that the Republicans and Trump and law enforcement just
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: rounding up random, sweet people, that is a lie. More
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: than seventy percent of ICE arrests now involve illegal immigrants
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: who have already committed crimes in the United States of America.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: President Trump campaigned on restoring law and order at the border,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: and according to federal law enforcement statistics, tens of thousands
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: of arrests later, including hundreds of predators targeting children and
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: people on the terrorists watch list. The Trump administr Nation
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: says that promise is now becoming a reality.
