  Speaker 2: Is not an option on the footbe We're considering it, Yeah,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: because the crime is ridiculous. I could show you a
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: chart comparing DC to other locations and you're not going
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to want to see what it looks like. Now, we

• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to have it. We're going to beautify this city. We're
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: going to make it beautiful. What a shame the rate
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else.

  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning to you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: the White House snabbing a number of bad Own braids
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: with very little border crossings, and the media is not
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: telling you about how successful this administration is it finding
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: those that are breaking into this country that are a
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: threat to all of us. Bus we're hearing now from
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Donald Trumps White House. An executive order is on its
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: way over debanking of conservatives by small, mid size, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: especially large banks that are attacking Conservatives and Christians solely
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: based because of their belief system.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'll break that down for you in a second.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: All right, I want to take a moment talk about
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: You've seen what's been happening with interest rates, and you've
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals,

• 3:40
  Speaker 4: with them. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: starts right now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I want to get to another important issue. Uh.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: It's a big one, and it's one that so many
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Americans have, especially the media, have really really really overlooked
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: it completely. That's part of what I like to do
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: here is bring you different information that others are refusing
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: to cover. And this one is one that is really
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: interesting because the number of arrests of migrant got aways
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: continuing now in Texas despite record low apprehensions at the border.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: The media doesn't want you to know how many bad
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: own braids we have right now in this country. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, the National guardsmen, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the Border Patrol agents are continuing to arrest migrants to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: illegally cross the border between the ports of entry and
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: made their way into the US interior. The Trump administration
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: has just released more info. Recent arrests include three Chinese
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: nationals who got away from the border after crossing near
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Mission Texas. What we now know is that this was
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: an operation that Texas DPS did. They posted video to
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: social media showing the continuing activities of the troopers, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: garment and Border patrol agents, who, despite these record low
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: apprehensions of the border said now their job is to
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: fine migrants being smuggled into the interior Texas after not
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: being apprehended at the border. Law enforcement teams they say
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: are real problems are having facing real problems because they're
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: going after and continue to seize drugs that are being
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: smuggled into Texas. You have human smuggling arrests that are
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: are still happening each and every day. You have canine
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: teams now that are actually being able to do their
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: draw jobs by tracking and assisting US Port Patrol in
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: the tracking of these drugs. We're seeing drug seizures, they said,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: in Brownsville, Texas, stolen vehicles that are being used by
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the cartels, and others that are that are grabbed in Laredo, Texas,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: for example. This is just some of what is happening
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: at the border. We also know this past week that
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: smugglers were sentenced to ten years in prison. You've got
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: pursuits to ranch tracks to all these missions that are happening,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and they're wanting people to understand what's going on here now.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: One example that was reported was on July the thirty first.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: One of the videos they put out show Border Patrol
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: mounted patrolled teams tracking migrants in Duval County, Texas. The
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: team tracked the illegal alien to attempt to escape by
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: using thick brushes cover. That's where the Texas DPSK nine
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: team managed to apprehend the two legal aliens and turn
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: them over to Border patrol agents.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Now, they weren't able.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: To do this type of work before because they were
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: babysitting illegal immigrants at the border under the Biden administration.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Earlier on Thursday, for example, they reported the arrests of
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: these three Chinese nationals that were apprehended near Mission, Texas
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: after clearing the border without encountering a border patrol agent.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And this is part of the problem. Now the troopers say,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: we're getting to do our jobs. Now they were to
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: stop the human smuggling attempts. Last week, also in De
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Mint County, Texas, they pulled over a Florida driver. The
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: troopers fround two Mexican nationals illegally president in the US,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: hiding in the rear cargo area of the suv. Again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: another example of the bad own braids that we're talking about.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: On July third, for example, it was reported what did
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the arrest of ten illegal aliens near Mission. These included
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: four migrants from Uzbekistan, Now, why does that matter, Well,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: it's a hotbed for terrorism. That's one of the big
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: concerns here is that how many people have come in
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: this country illegally that are terrorists and wanting to do
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: things and do real harm inside the United States of America. Now,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: in June, to put this in perspective of where we
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: are now because of a strong border security from this
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump, border patrol agents apprehended three thousand, nine
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five migrants who illegally crossed the border
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: into five Texas based sectors. Let me just explain to
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you the difference between June of this year and June
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four, when Joe Biden was like, everybody,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: come in, we have an open border. They caught thirty thousand,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: seven hundred and sixty six compared to three thousand, nine
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five one year apart.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: What changed? A president that is enforcing the law.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: The Southwest Land border encounters that were reported and public
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: by the US Customs and Border Protection said, this is
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: now going back to a point that we can manage
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and protect the border compared to what it was now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: If you do the math on that, this represents a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: drop of now more than eighty seven.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Percent year over year.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: The June apprehension numbers are also down from five four
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: hundred ninety one migrants apprehended in May. So this is
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: also sending a message around the world you probably don't
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: want to try because you're going to get caught. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: it's not an open border that we had under the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: radicals in the Biden regime. Border apprehensions in the Texas
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: based sectors and June accounted for approximately sixty six percent
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: of all migrants apprehended along the southern border with Mexico.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Nearly four thousand, six hundred migrants were apprehended in all
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: nine border patrol sectors along the southwest border in July.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: That marks she had another historic low for the Trump administration.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: So Christy Noome put it out this way, and she
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: said in her tweet where she was going through all
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: these numbers, and again, why is the media not telling
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: you how safe the border has become? Because they don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: want you to know this. Okay, history made again is
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: how Christy Noome put it. The numbers don't lie. This
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the most secure the border has ever been. President Donald
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Trump didn't just manage the crisis. He obliterated it. No
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: more excuses. Christy Nome said, no more releases. We put
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the cartels on defense and taken our border back. She
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: then said, in July the lowest nationwide encounter number ever
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: twenty four thousand, six hundred and thirty. That is down
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: two point four percent from June. But here's the number
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that you're going to care about. It's ninety percent lower
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: than the monthly average under the last administration. The lowest
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: border patrol apprehensions nationwide also six thousand, one hundred and
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: seventy seven. That shattered, by the way, June's all time
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: low as well. She went on to say, this the
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: lowest Southwest border apprehensions we've ever seen, four thousand, five
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: hundred and ninety eight, nearly five hundred fewer than the
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: daily average under the last administration, which averaged five thousand,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: one hundred and ten apprehensions per day from February of
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty one to December of twenty twenty four. We
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: also have the lowest daily apprehension average, just one hundred
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: and forty eight per day. That's lower than the average
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: rate of one hundred and fifty two apprehensions every two
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: hours under the Biden administration last July alone, So we're
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: doing one hundred and forty eight a day in apprehensions.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: They were doing one hundred and fifty two every two hours,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: every hour of the day twenty four to seven last July.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: And then she finally says, this the lowest single day
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: apprehensions in history eighty eight at the Southwest border, one
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: hundred and sixteen nationwide on July the twentieth. Now look
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: at the calendar right now and where we are. What
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: you're hearing and what we're seeing from border patrol agents
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and from the Trump administration is that the word is
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: getting out. Do you really want to go into incredible
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: debt to try to come to America to immediately get
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: caught and then be sent home? Do you want to
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: pay these smugglers to get you in and you're going
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: to get caught? You look at the lowest single day
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: apprehension in history eighty eighth the Southwest border.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And one hundred and sixteen nation one on July twentieth.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Now I say that because you may say, well, okay,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: hold on, maybe there was a bad weather day. No
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: it wasn't. It was actually a great weather day. Why nay,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: on July twentieth, did you have these numbers drop that much?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Because that's the last day we have reported and public
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: access to what Donald Trump is doing is he's going
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: after and using ICE and they're going after the illegal
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: immigrants everywhere they are, including sanctuary cities. Word is getting
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: back to the smugglers and the human traffickers and those
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: that were paying them that it may not be worth
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: you paying them because you're probably not going to make it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And that is how Trump is making America safe again.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Now story number two.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: In a major move to protect all Americans, the White
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: House were now being told is preparing a new executive
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: order that would find banks, small, medium, and the largest
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: for dropping customers for political reasons. The Wall Street Journal
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: is reporting on it now. The order directs bank regulators
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: to investigate whether any financial institutions might have violated the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, or consumer financial protection laws,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: the journal reported, citing a draft text of the order.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: The order, which could be signed as early as this week,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: provides for monetary penalties, consent decrees, or other disciplinary measures
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: against violators. The order also directs regulators to strike policies
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: they have that might have contributed to banks dropping certain customers,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: and requires the Small Business Association to review the practices
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: of banks that guarantee the agency's loans. Now, this is
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: a major move for protecting specific conservatives that have been
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: debanked by large banks and small banks alike. There are
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: many in the Second Amendment community that have also been
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: debanked as well. There are Christian organizations that have been debanked,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: missionary organizations that have been debanked, and conservative organizations that
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: have been debanked, especially during the Biden years. Now the
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: President saying, you can't do that. It's un American and
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: we're not going to allow it to stand.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Reuters is also reporting at this hour that the White
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: House is apparently working on this at a rapid pace
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: because they believe it is time to hold banks accountable
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: that targeted people specifically for their political beliefs.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Now, after speaking with.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: People at the White House late this afternoon, here's what
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I can also tell you. The White House, I've been told,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: is in fact preparing an executive order that would empower
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the regulators to penalize banks for quote, terminating customer relationships
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: based on political beliefs. These penalties could include hefty fines,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I'm being told, and also disciplinary actions. Now, financial regulators
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: would be instructed to investigate potential breaches not only the
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Equal Credit Opportunity Act I mentioned earlier and antitrust laws,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: but also consumer protection regulations by banks accused of politically
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: motivated actions against those who had bank accounts at their bank.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: The draft order also calls on policymakers to revoke existing
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: internal bank policies that actually may have led to politically
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: motivated account closures, and directs the Small Business Administration to
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: review loan back practices that could involve similar issues as well. Now,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: although no banks are mentioned by, the order appears tied
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: to public criticism of major institutions such as JP, Morgan Chase,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and Bank of America accused of severing ties with conservative clients,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: a charge that of course they strongly deny, and the
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal has reported on this extensively recently. Now,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: according to others, the order could be signed like I
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: said this week, potentially spelling major trouble for big banks.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: This move reflects Donald Trump's ongoing concern, especially from conservative circles,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: about political bias or debanking and financial services. It forms
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: part of a broader regulatory agenda to ensure economic institutions
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: remain neutral and customers aren't penalized for political beliefs. At
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, the President of the United
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: States of America wants to make sure you're not targeted
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: because you voted for him, and in the future, to
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: make sure that no matter who you vote for, you're
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: not targeted by a bank. Now, the order has not
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: been officially issued yet, and there's a very good chance
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: there will be changes that are made in the coming
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: days and hours. Banks and regulators also are remaining relatively quiet,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: and the White House is saying they're willing to talk,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: but there's many that are scared what may be coming
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: down the pipeline. And the big question is this, which
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: agencies are actually going to lead enforcement oversight I'm being
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: told is likely going to be by federal banking regulators,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: the Department of Justice, and the SPA. Implementation details are
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: going to work through the White House and the hours
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: and days ahead. At the end of the day, what
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: does this mean, Well, it means that dun Up Trump's
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: looking out for conservatives that have been targeted solely because
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: of our political beliefs.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Xactly why so many Americans voted for it.
