800 Illegal Bad Characters Busted plus "Fentanyl Your Problem" China Says · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What do you think opening up China would be a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: big win? Right? The problem is, no matter how big
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the win is, the press will not give me credit
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for it. If I got the greatest win in history,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: they'll pay us trellis at trillions of dollars. They'll give
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: us anything we want. The press was saying Trump, he
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: just had a terrible defeat. He suffered a terrible defeat. Time.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: If people know you're listening to the forty seven Morning
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. Ben Ferguson with you.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: It's so nice to have you on the forty seven
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Morning Update. And here are the three big stories we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: talking about today. First up, we're coming for you. That
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: is the message from the Trump administration as major roundups
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: of illegal immigrants happened over the weekend.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: We'll give the.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Details about where all this took place and how they're
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: saying this is just the beginning. Up next, it's not
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: just about tariffs when it comes to fighting with China.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: This after the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the feednal problem
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: is a US problem, not a China problem, even though
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: the chemicals for veetnohl are coming from China. We'll have
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: the latest on President Trump's response to the shocking move
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: and admission by the Chinese Communist Party that yeah, they
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: are sending the drugs that are killing countless Americans.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And finally, the media goes all in on.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Two big conspiracies against Donald Trump. One that he wore
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: a blue suit to the Vatican, breaking protocol even though
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden wore the same color suit. And they're also
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: saying that there could be some mystery illness for the
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: President since he's lost weight and gotten in better shape.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: As we near the.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: One hundred daymark and the Trump administration, there's one thing
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: that's very clear. The American people want deportations of illegal immigrants.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: CBS News poll is out saying this, do you approve
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: or disapprove of the Trump Administration's program to find and
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: deport immigrants who were in the US illegally? Fifty six
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: percent of Americans say yes and forty four percent disapprove,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: meaning there is a twelve point advantage for Donald Trump
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to do exactly what he's doing and what his promise
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: was to get rid of illegal immigrants. That have flooded
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: this country, which brings me to three different headlines. Eight
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: hundred illegal aliens were rounded up in a four day
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Florida ICE raid. US Immigration and custom Enforcement officers and
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: agents teamed up with Florida State police to round up
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: nearly eight hundred legal aliens during what they described as
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: a major operation. The roundup came as part of a
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: multi agency immigration enforcement crackdown, and they're saying that this
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: is just the beginning. Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nome
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: put it this way, saying, quote, this is a warning
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to all criminal illegal aliens. We're coming for you. Our
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: state partners will hunt you down, arrest you, and deport you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Florida Highway Patrol troopers teamed up with the federal Task
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Force as part of the Operation Title Wave. Nearly eight
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: hundred arrests took place during the four days of the
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: targeted enforcement operation. ICE officials called it a first of
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: its time partnership between state and federal authorities. Florida Governor
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: rond De Santis, commenting on social media, saying Florida is
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: leading the nation an active cooperation with the Trump administration
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: for immigration enforcement and deportation operations, Bill Malusion at Fox
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: News reported the arrest included Colombian murderers, plural MS thirteen
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: and eighteenth Street gang members, and a Russian spy wanted
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: by Interpol. This is just part of Donald Trump payingoff
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and what he promised would be big action by his administration.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And that's not all. FEDS also busted.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: One hundred and fourteen illegal aliens during a raid at
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: a Colorado underground.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Nightclub, all caught on tape.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: More than one hundred illegal aliens busted during the raid
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: in Colorado Springs on Sunday morning. The operation, led by
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the Drug Enforcement Administration DEA and the Rocky Mountain Division,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: resulted in the arrest of one hundred and fourteen illegal aliens.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: The outlet noted that authorities said members of the violent
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: gangs trend Aragua and MS thirteen frequented the venue. Video
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: footage from the DEA shared showing the raid and officers
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: swarming the building. One of them smashed a hole in
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: what appears to be a window where flashing blue lights
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: are seen inside. Moments later, a door opens and people
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: are seen pouring out. Many of them held their hands
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: up in surrender as officers confronted them and sirens began blaring.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Several women are also seen among the group. Dea Rocky
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Mountain led the multi agency enforced an operation along with
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: local and federal partners. The Department of Homeland Security has
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: taken more than one hundred legal aliens into custody. Drugs
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and weapons were also seized at the Underground nightclub in
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Colorado Springs. So what is the point of all this?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: The President is showing Americans that this is just the beginning,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: and many state and local authorities are now more than
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: happy to be working with the Trump administration to get
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: rid of violent gang members and those that are killing
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Americans with fetnol as well that they're putting onto our streets.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yet again, another example of just one hundred days in
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: and Donald Trump, in many ways, is just getting started.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Next story number two, The tariff war with China is continuing,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: and it's not just about tariffs on goods, it's also
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: about what China is doing to kill Americans. The Chinese
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Foreign Minister spokesman is now insisting that the fetnyl crisis
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: is in fact the US problem, not even though the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: drugs and chemicals are coming directly from China. In an
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: actual statement at a press briefing. This is what the
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Chinese communists had to say, quote the US, and the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: US alone has the responsibility to solve it, even though
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: they are the drug supplier, despite the goodwill China has shown.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: They went on to say, the US slap tariffs on
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Chinese imports and blame it on fetnyl. This is bullying,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: China said, through and through and highly damaging to dialogue
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and cooperation on counter narcotics. This is exactly why the
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: President United States of America is sticking it to China
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and not backing down. China also wasn't done with their propaganda,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: they said, quote the US should know that vilifying others
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: will not hide its failed responsibility to punish those who
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: try to help, will not solve any problem, and intimidation
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: or threats are certainly not the right way to engage
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: with China now. The trade representative was also responding to
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: reports about slow progress in the talks between US and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Chinese officials about curtailing China's supply of the chemicals needed
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: for the deadly fetanyl drug. US officials have made it
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: clear that the Chinese are failing to negotiate in good faith.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: These officials also said that China is quote exchanging intelligence
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: about traffickers, but its proposals to resolve the fetinl crisis
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: have been quote inadequate. Also, while China might be willing
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to share intel about the traffickers, it rarely, unfortunately takes
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: serious action against the illicit chemical manufacturers in China that
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: they clearly know about. This is partly because fetanyl chemicals
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: also have quote legitimate uses, and the Chinese government is
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: reluctant to compromise the profits of their huge chemical companies,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: even if it means it's killing Americans. Start putting big
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: important people behind bars as a signal to the whole
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: industry or black market, we just haven't seen. That is
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: what won US officials said on the record. Now, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Trump administration has made it clear they want China to
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: stop killing Americans. They want China to aggressively prosecute those
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: who produce and sell fetinyl chemicals, while China is merely
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: offering to regulate the chemicals a little more tightly. That's
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: at least what they're trying to sell the public. But
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: the reality is talk is cheap, and China has never
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: done anything meaningful to shut down the chemical pipeline is
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: what American officials have said in the Trump administration now.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's first round of twenty percent tariffs on China
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: in February was presented as punishment for China failing to
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: take the fetnl crisis seriously. China responded by saying it
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: would do nothing further to address the fetanyl problem until
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the tariffs were lifted, basically admitting that they know that
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: fetnel is flowing into America at a record American officials
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: have also noted that China is a member of the
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: UN Commission on Narcotics and Drugs, which unanimously agreed to
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: place tighter controls on fetnel chemicals at a March twenty
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: twenty four meeting in Vienna. Well, guess what China has
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: done nothing since then at all to stop the flow
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: of drugs into America. Now pressed on the issue, Chinese
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: officials have lately been repeating the Chinese communist talking points
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: that fetanyl is entirely an American problem, even though no
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: one disputes that most of the chemicals come from China
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: for fetanyl in the entire world. Now, the biggest change
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: in fetnyl production since the Trump administration's term has been
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: that China no longer ships the chemicals directly to American
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: drug dealers. Instead, it ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: So it's fair to say that China is now in
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: business with the cartels in Mexico, and then those cartels
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: are manufacturing the fetanyl and then smuggling it across US border.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Fetnal users and traffickers in the US say there has
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: been very little reduction in the supply of the drug
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: since China promised to crack down on chemical producers. Obviously
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: they were lying. So if you want to know why
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is standing firm, it is clear that he's
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: standing firm to protect our kids and grandkids, so many
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: that are dying from accidental overdose from fetnyl lace pills.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, the president isn't just
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: fighting for better deals on tariffs. He's also fighting to
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: protect American lives.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And finally, story number three.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: If you were watching the media, they told you two
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: massive lies about Donald Trump in the last forty eight hours.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: One of them involved the Vatican asking Pope Francis funeral
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: attendees to wear all black, and the hit on the
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: President was he wore a blue suit. They then posted
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: a picture showing Donald Trump in the blue suit only
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: with people around him wearing black, implying that he was
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: the only one to wear a blue suit. Well, if
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: you look at the actual picture of a larger group
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: of individuals at the funeral, it is very clear that
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: there were quite a few men wearing blue suits, including
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden. But that didn't stop CNN from telling the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: big lie and plying that Donald Trump did something terrible
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: by wearing a blue suit. But that wasn't the only
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: lie they were talking about as well. There was another
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: one that there's some big conspiracy over Donald Trump getting
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: in better shape. Yes, Donald Trump has lost weight. In fact,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: they released this information from the White House saying he
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: was in better shape than he was a year ago.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: But leave it to CNN to imply that there's some deep,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: dark secret to Trump's weight loss or some massive cover up,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: and that's why you don't know what's really going on.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: They combined the two stories into one. This is real,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: and it actually played on CNN.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I was so fascinated by the whole sort of playing
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: out of the Pope's funeral. I guess right, as opposed
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: to memorial Donald Trump in a blue suit when we
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: know he has a black suit because he was wearing
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: a black suit the last time he met the pope,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: so why wasn't he wearing it this time? Lots of
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: suspicion because he's lost a lot of weight. Who knows
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: how he's lost weight. We know that Robert Kenna ed Junior,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: his health minister, doesn't approve of people taking a zempic
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: because he thinks it shows a lack of moral power.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: So who knows how Trumps lost weight? But I found
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: the suit color very interesting And for someone like me
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: who is a boss, is a huge believer in getting
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: people together as opposed to doing things remotely. Think you
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: see the power of bringing world leaders together to have
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: impromptu meetings. Whether or not Macarol refused his handshake in
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: the initial meeting during the peace they actually shook hands,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: which felt like a step forward.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Isn't it amazing just how much the media will lie
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: to try to hurt President Donald Trump, And when they
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: do lie, we will make sure that you hear it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: And that's exactly why we do this show and make
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: sure that you share it so other people know that
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: this is nothing more than a hit job on the
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: President of the United States of America, trying to act
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: like he did some horrible thing by wearing the same
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: color suit as Joe Biden, or the fact that somehow
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: something nefarious is going on with his health because he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: actually gotten healthier and lost weight.
