  Speaker 1: People. Treat us so man Wall Street Journal. It's truly
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: gotten the hell ahead. A rotten newspaper.

• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Good Monday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: to have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: here are the three big stories we're talking about today.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: First up, Lindsey Graham has some questions for the man
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: that's going to be leading the DEA and what he
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: had to say about Kamar Obrega Garcia, Well, it will
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: shock the media with their big lie and the Democratic Party,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: and we have the audio for you here in just
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: a moment. Up next, it's not just about tariffs when
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: it comes to fighting with China. This after the Chinese
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Foreign Ministry said the fetanel problem is a US problem,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: not a China problem, even though the chemicals for fetnol
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: are coming from China. We'll have the latest on President
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Trump's response on to the shocking move and admission by
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist Party that yeah, they are sending the
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: drugs that are killing countless Americans and finally, we're coming
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: for you. That is the message from the Trump administration
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: as major roundups of illegal immigrants happened over the weekend.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: We'll give the details about where all this took place
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and how they're saying.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: This is just the beginning.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Story number one, another media lie has exploded in the
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: face of Democrats and those in the media that we're
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: telling the story. President Donald Trump's pick to lead the
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: drug enforcement agency known as the DEA has blown up
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the denials from liberal media outlets that purported that the
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: MS thirteen gang member Kilmar Obrego Garcia is not sporting
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: tattoos for the gang. The DEA administrator Terry Cole made
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: it very clear to the members of the Senate Judiciary
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Committee that the media and demic crafts were long about
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the tattoos of a man they described as just a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: father from Maryland. He was asked about the tattoos during
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: the hearing from Lindsey Graham, and here is what he said.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Are you familiar with MS thirteen, Yes, sir, briefly, what
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: are they?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: They're a terrorist organization?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been designated a foreign terrorist organization. Yes, sir,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: they're involved in drugs, fentanyl.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Extortion, kidnapping, drugs, intimidation, money laundering.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: In your time in the DEA, do they have like
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: membership cards?
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Not necessarily the membership cards, but they are well recognized
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: based on tattoos and different Do you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Have a photo I think our office provided to you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: We spoke, Yeah, we spoke about it earlier. Yes, sir,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: can you give this touff?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: This is a photo of tattoos a mister Breo Garcia.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Much attention has been paid to his case. I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: he's in Venezuela. Can you see the photo here? Yes?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Ken, I have a copy of it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Okay. Based on your time and experience and expertise in
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: the DEA, what does that photo or those markings suggest
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: to you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Well, they suggest that he's an MS thirteen member, that
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: those are his markings, that's his brand. Not only my
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: time at the DEA, but currently I participate.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: The start with a leaf, what's that sign of marijuana? Okay?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: The next one.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Is your smiley face.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Okay, and the next one is I.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Believe that's the one. I can't. It's a little burned
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: out from you, sir. And then the last one's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: three backwards.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Okay, So, based on your time as a DEA agent
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: in the field, particularly in Mexico, these tastoos are consistent
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: with MS thirteen associations.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that's correct.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Do you know of any other set of combinations that
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: it suggests some other organization disrepresents with.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: This particular one, No, sir, Yet again, it's very clear
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: the DEA nominee is the Democrats and the media's worst nightmare.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Based on your time as a DA agent in the field,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: particularly in Mexico, these tattoos are consistent with MS thirteen
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: associations the DA chief nominee.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: So why did the media lie to you? Why do
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: they say that the picture wasn't even real, that the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: president was, you know, bamboozled? Well, ABC News even in
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the one hundred day interview, try to imply that the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: picture wasn't real. Not only is it real, but now
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: we know from the man who will be in charge
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: of the DEA that yes, this individual is an MS
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: thirteen gang member, not some father from Maryland. And just
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: think about it this way. This is the man that
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Democrats flew down to hang out with, hold his hand
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and desperately want to bring back into the United States
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: of America a man that two different courts have declared
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a member of a terrorist organization. So if you think
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: democrats and the media are looking out for you, just
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: look at this new hoax that they've already been busted on.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Did you know that, just.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Like here in the US, Israel has their own Independence
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Day In case you missed it this year, Israel's Independence
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Day was a few days ago on May first. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: for the people of Israel, freedom is nothing more than
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a daily struggle to survive. There's no real peace, only terror,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: no joy, just suffering. The Israeli government relies on the
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for ongoing help to
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: make sure the elderly, the sick, the wounded, soldiers, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: impoverished families don't fall through the cracks. That's why your
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: gift to the Fellowship will provide such important life saving aid, medicine,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: hearty meals, safety, and comfort. I believe that when you
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: bless the people of Israel, we unlock God's blessing in
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: our lives as well. So to show your support for
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Israel's independence. You can make a life saving gift today.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: You can call eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: That's eight A eight four eight eight four three two five.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: You can also go online to IFCJ dot org. That's
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: if CJ dot org.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Next story number two.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: The tariff war with China is continuing, and it's not
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: just about tariffs on goods. It's also about what China
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: is doing to kill Americans. The Chinese Foreign Minister spokesman
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: is now insisting that the fetnyl crisis is in fact
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the US problem, not China's, even though the drugs and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: chemicals are coming directly from China. In an actual statement
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: at a press briefing, this is what the Chinese communists
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: had to say, quote the US, and the US alone
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: has the responsibility to solve it, even though they are
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: the drug supplier. Despite the goodwill China has shown. They
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: went on to say the US slap tariffs on Chinese
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: imports and blame it on This is bullying, China said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: through and through and highly damaging to dialogue and cooperation
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: on counter narcotics. This is exactly why the President United
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: States of America is sticking it to China and not
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: backing down. China also wasn't done with their propaganda, They said, quote.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: The US should know that vilifying others will not hide
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: its failed responsibility to punish those who try to help,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: will not solve any problem, and intimidation or threats are
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: certainly not the right way to engage with China now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: The trade representative was also responding to reports about slow
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: progress and the talks between US and Chinese officials about
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: curtailing China's supply of the chemicals needed for the deadly
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: fetnyl drug. US officials have made it clear that the
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Chinese are failing to negotiate in good faith now. These
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: officials also said that China is quote exchanging intelligence about traffickers,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: but it's proposals to resolve the fetinl crisis have been
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: quote inadequate. Also, while China might be willing to share
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: intel about the traffickers, it rarely, unfortunately takes serious action
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: against the illicit chemical manufacturers in China that they clearly
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: know about. This is partly because fetanyl chemicals also have
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: quote legitimate uses and the Chinese government is reluctant to
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: compromise the profits of their huge chemical companies, even if
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: it means it's killing Americans. Start putting big important people
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: behind bars as a signal to the whole industry or
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: black market, we just haven't seen. That is what one
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: US officials said on the record. Now, the Trump administration
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: has made it clear they want China to stop killing Americans.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: They want China to aggressively prosecute those who produce and
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: sell fetanyl chemicals, while China is merely offering to regulate
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: the chemicals a little more tightly. That's at least what
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: they're trying to sell the public. But the reality is
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: talk is cheap, and China has never done anything meaningful
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to shut down the chemical pipeline, is what American officials
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: have said in the Trump administration. Now, Donald Trump's first
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: round of twenty percent tariffs on China in February was
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: presented as punishment for China failing to take the fetanel
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: crisis seriously. China responded by saying it would do nothing
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: further to address the fetnyl problem until the tariffs were lifted,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: basically admitting that they know that fetnah is flowing into
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: America at a record pace. American officials have also noted
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that China is a member of the UN Commission on
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Narcotics and Drugs, which unanimously agreed to place tighter controls
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: on fetnel chemicals at a March twenty twenty four meeting
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: in Vienna. Well guess what China has done nothing since
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: then at all to stop the flow of drugs into America.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Now pressed on the issue, Chinese officials have lately been
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: repeating the Chinese communist talking point that fetanyl is entirely
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: an American problem, even though no one disputes that most
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: of the chemicals come from China for fetanyl in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: entire world. Now, the biggest change in fetnyl production since
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration's term has been that China no longer
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: ships the chemicals directly to American drug dealers. Instead, it
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels. So it's fair to
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: say that China is now in business with the cartels
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: in Mexico, and then those cartels are manufacturing the fetanyl
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and then smuggling it across the US border. Fetnyl users
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: and traffickers in the US say there has been very
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: little reduction in the supply of the drug since China
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: promised to crack down on chemical producers.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously they were lying.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: So if you want to know why Donald Trump is
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: standing firm, it is clear that he's standing firm to
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: protect our kids and grandkids, so many that are dying
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: from accidental overdose from fetanyl lace pills. At the end
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: of the day, the President isn't just fighting for better
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: deals on tariffs. He's also fighting to protect American.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Lie And finally, story number three.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: CBS News poll is out saying this, do you approve
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: or disapprove of the Trump Administration's program to find and
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: deport immigrants who were in the US illegally? Fifty six
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: percent of Americans say yes and forty four percent disapprove,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: meaning there is a twelve point advantage for Donald Trump
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to do exactly what he's doing and what his promise
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: was to get rid of illegal immigrants that have flooded
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: this country, which.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Brings me to three different headlines.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Eight hundred illegal aliens were rounded up in a four
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: day Florida ice raid. US Immigration and custom Enforcement officers
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: and agents teamed up with Florida State police to round
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: up nearly eight hundred legal aliens during what they described
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: as a major operation. The roundup came as part of
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a multi agency immigration enforcement crackdown, and they're saying that
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: this is just the beginning. Secretary of Homeland Security Christy
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Nome put it this way, saying, quote, this is a
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: warning to all criminal illegal aliens. We're coming for you.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Our state partners will hunt you down, arrest you, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: deport you. Florida Highway Patrol troopers teamed up with the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: federal Task Force as part of the Operation Tidle Wave.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Nearly eight hundred arrests took place during the four days
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of the targeted enforcement operation. ICE officials called it a
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: first of its time partnership between state and federal authorities.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Florida Governor Rond De.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Santis commenting on social media, saying Florida is leading the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: nation in active cooperation with the Trump administration for immigration
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: enforcement and deportation operations. Bill Malusion at Fox News reported
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: the arrest included Colombian murderers, plural Ms thirteen and eighteenth
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Street gang members, and a Russian spy wanted by Interpol.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: This is just part of Donald Trump paying off and
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: what he promised would be big action by his administration.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And that's not all. FEDS also busted.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: One hundred and fourteen illegal aliens during a raid at
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: a Colorado underground.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Nightclub, all caught on tape.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: More than one hundred illegal aliens busted during the raid
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: in Colorado Springs on Sunday morning. The operation, led by
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the Drug Enforcement Administration DEA and the Rocky Mountain Division,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: resulted in the arrest of one hundred and fourteen illegal aliens.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: The outlet noted that authority said members of the violent
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: gangs trend' Ragua and MS thirteen frequented the venue. Video
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: footage from the DEA shared showing the raid and officers
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: swarming the building. One of them smashed a hole in
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: what appears to be a window where flashing blue lights
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: are seen inside monks. Later, a door opens and people
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: are seen pouring out. Many of them held their hands
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: up in surrender as officers confronted them and sirens began blaring.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Several women are also seen among the group. DEA Rocky
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Mountain led the multi agency enforcement operation, along with local
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and federal partners. The Department of Homeland Security has taken
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: more than one hundred legal aliens into custody. Drugs and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: weapons were also seized at the underground nightclub in Colorado Springs.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So what is the point of all this?
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: The President is showing Americans that this is just the beginning,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and many state and local authorities are now more than
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: happy to be working with the Trump administration to get
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: rid of violent gang members and those that are killing
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Americans with FETNO as well that they're putting onto our
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: streets yet again, another example of just one hundred days
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: in and Donald Trump, in many ways, is just getting started.
