00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.700 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.820 Are you going to deploy Marines in California?
00:00:08.760 We'll see what happens.
00:00:09.780 I mean, I think we have it very well under control.
00:00:12.500 I think it would have been a very bad situation.
00:00:14.860 It was heading in the wrong direction.
00:00:16.620 It's now heading in the right direction.
00:00:18.220 And we hope to have the support of Gavin
00:00:20.040 because Gavin's the big beneficiary
00:00:22.260 as we straighten out his problems.
00:00:23.920 I mean, his state is a mess.
00:00:25.680 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update
00:00:27.920 with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:29.160 Good Tuesday morning.
00:00:30.640 Welcome.
00:00:31.360 It is the 47 Morning Update
00:00:33.240 and we have one big story for you today.
00:00:37.120 Gavin Newsom says it's not an insurrection in California,
00:00:40.640 but he is wanting to sue the President
00:00:42.840 of the United States of America.
00:00:45.000 Suing Trump for what he says is a legal takeover
00:00:47.920 of the California National Guard.
00:00:50.660 Legal experts say Gavin Newsom's going to lose this battle,
00:00:54.540 but it doesn't matter
00:00:55.640 because he's decided to put politics over public safety.
00:00:59.200 We're also going to talk about this spreading.
00:01:03.020 And is this organic
00:01:04.100 or is this just another summer of rage
00:01:07.160 being paid for by the radical left
00:01:09.100 that we saw under Black Lives Matter?
00:01:11.460 And finally,
00:01:12.420 what is the President saying
00:01:14.240 in response to all of this?
00:01:16.640 You're going to hear his own words.
00:01:18.480 It's the 47 Morning Update
00:01:20.200 and it starts right now.
00:01:22.320 Story number one.
00:01:23.360 Anarchy and chaos continuing to erupt in L.A.
00:01:27.060 and now coming to a city near you.
00:01:29.840 In fact,
00:01:30.400 it's almost like we've seen this before
00:01:32.700 in the summer of rage
00:01:34.220 with Black Lives Matter protests
00:01:36.100 that popped up all over the country.
00:01:38.860 Well,
00:01:39.080 now in L.A.,
00:01:40.140 they're not going after the actual bad guys
00:01:42.900 that are attacking law enforcement.
00:01:44.560 No, no, no.
00:01:45.600 They're now coming after Donald Trump
00:01:48.340 and threatening to sue
00:01:49.800 the governor making this his political stand.
00:01:53.400 Let me just remind you
00:01:54.700 what the same Democrats were saying
00:01:56.760 over the weekend.
00:01:58.340 Elizabeth Warren was saying
00:01:59.740 it was just, you know,
00:02:01.240 peaceful protests.
00:02:02.840 Kamala Harris referred to it
00:02:04.340 as overwhelmingly peaceful protests.
00:02:07.260 Cory Booker said
00:02:08.340 it was a peaceful protest again
00:02:10.320 on the Sunday morning shows.
00:02:12.060 And Gavin Newsom said
00:02:13.560 that the anarchy
00:02:14.840 you're seeing right now on TV
00:02:16.760 is, quote,
00:02:17.960 under control.
00:02:19.580 Even the Los Angeles
00:02:20.740 Police Department lying,
00:02:22.280 saying it was, quote,
00:02:23.400 a weekend, you know,
00:02:24.400 without incident,
00:02:26.140 quote, unquote.
00:02:27.620 So how did it change so quickly?
00:02:30.500 Where now California is saying
00:02:32.760 they're suing Donald Trump
00:02:34.860 and they're angry
00:02:35.760 that Donald Trump
00:02:36.660 said in the National Guard.
00:02:38.200 Now, I want to play for you
00:02:39.260 Donald Trump in his own words.
00:02:40.880 Asked about two different things.
00:02:42.920 One, about sending in
00:02:44.320 the National Guard.
00:02:45.560 And two, Gavin Newsom
00:02:47.420 in California
00:02:48.400 threatening to sue Donald Trump.
00:02:50.720 That's right.
00:02:51.400 They're not going after
00:02:52.360 the rapists or the terrorists.
00:02:54.480 They're not going after
00:02:55.580 the human smugglers,
00:02:56.720 the sex traffickers.
00:02:57.960 They're not going after
00:02:59.080 those that are selling fentanyl
00:03:00.580 that is killing more Americans
00:03:02.440 my age than anything else
00:03:04.340 in this country's history.
00:03:06.200 No, no, no.
00:03:06.880 Instead, they're doing
00:03:08.380 what Democrats do well.
00:03:09.980 They're suing Donald Trump.
00:03:12.020 When you were talking about
00:03:13.100 unrest in American cities,
00:03:14.600 you said, quote,
00:03:15.620 we have to go by the laws.
00:03:17.200 We can't call in
00:03:18.020 the National Guard
00:03:18.820 unless we're requested
00:03:20.100 by a governor.
00:03:21.080 What changed now?
00:03:22.360 Why is this situation different
00:03:23.820 to not consult
00:03:24.640 with Governor Newsom about this?
00:03:25.800 Well, the biggest change
00:03:26.580 from that statement
00:03:27.200 is we have an incompetent governor.
00:03:28.920 So I talked about governors,
00:03:30.540 but I didn't talk about
00:03:31.480 he's an incompetent governor.
00:03:32.680 Look at the job
00:03:33.420 he's doing in California.
00:03:34.920 He's destroying
00:03:35.720 one of our great states.
00:03:36.940 And if I didn't get involved,
00:03:39.080 if we didn't bring the guard in,
00:03:40.840 and we would bring more in
00:03:41.960 if we needed it
00:03:42.720 because we have to make sure
00:03:44.340 there's going to be law and order.
00:03:46.120 You had a disaster happening
00:03:48.860 and they now admit
00:03:50.020 it was a disaster.
00:03:50.980 I watched the chief yesterday,
00:03:52.820 who's a good man, by the way.
00:03:54.460 And he said,
00:03:55.140 well, we're lucky we did this
00:03:56.800 because they were overwhelmed.
00:03:59.220 You saw what was happening.
00:04:00.940 So we did the right thing.
00:04:02.100 Everybody agrees to that.
00:04:03.600 But you have a governor
00:04:05.080 who let the city burn down
00:04:06.480 and didn't want water
00:04:07.820 to be sent down to him.
00:04:09.240 And I sent billions
00:04:10.500 of gallons of water.
00:04:12.020 I wanted to do it
00:04:13.520 in the first term.
00:04:14.580 He wouldn't do it over.
00:04:15.720 I don't know.
00:04:16.120 They have environmental reasons,
00:04:17.440 but there were no
00:04:18.280 environmental reasons.
00:04:19.460 It's I think it's just
00:04:20.580 a political philosophy.
00:04:22.320 But it's lucky for the people
00:04:25.080 in Los Angeles
00:04:25.840 and in California
00:04:26.720 that we did what we did.
00:04:28.920 We got it just in time.
00:04:30.200 It's still simmering a little bit.
00:04:32.240 Primary crime
00:04:33.220 is running for governor
00:04:34.360 because he's done
00:04:34.960 such a bad job.
00:04:36.360 What he's done to that state
00:04:37.520 is like what Biden
00:04:38.640 did to this country.
00:04:40.160 And that's pretty bad.
00:04:42.260 It's the wrong philosophy.
00:04:44.920 Thousands,
00:04:45.560 hundreds of thousands
00:04:46.400 of illegal immigrants,
00:04:47.660 many of them prisoners
00:04:49.180 are taking up your health care.
00:04:50.760 They're taking up
00:04:51.360 your space in schools.
00:04:52.440 They're taking up
00:04:53.060 your hospital.
00:04:54.180 And in many cases,
00:04:55.500 they're criminals.
00:04:56.740 And we have to do
00:04:57.860 something about it.
00:04:58.800 And we're doing
00:04:59.280 something about it.
00:05:00.180 I want to thank
00:05:00.800 the incredible
00:05:01.980 Patriots of Ice
00:05:02.980 and Tom Holman,
00:05:04.440 who has been incredible.
00:05:06.040 And Christy Noem,
00:05:07.520 likewise, incredible.
00:05:09.640 The job they're doing.
00:05:11.420 And it's like
00:05:12.320 an unforced error.
00:05:13.260 There was no reason
00:05:13.880 for this.
00:05:14.760 21 million people
00:05:15.980 were allowed
00:05:16.460 into our country.
00:05:17.740 And many of those people
00:05:18.960 were criminals.
00:05:20.040 And it's a shame.
00:05:21.180 It's a shame.
00:05:21.880 But we're getting them out.
00:05:23.860 And I will say,
00:05:25.780 I think it's a 95 to 5 issue,
00:05:28.220 just like so many
00:05:29.000 other issues, 95 to 5.
00:05:30.900 And the Democrats
00:05:31.960 lost an election
00:05:33.020 in a landslide
00:05:33.820 because they're
00:05:34.900 on the wrong side
00:05:35.700 of the issues.
00:05:36.540 I mean, it's not even
00:05:38.220 conceivable that somebody
00:05:40.200 would do the kind
00:05:40.900 of things that he did.
00:05:41.960 And then, you know,
00:05:42.800 you talk about projects.
00:05:44.320 They want to build
00:05:44.780 a train going from
00:05:45.860 San Francisco to L.A.
00:05:47.620 And it's costing
00:05:48.540 hundreds of billions
00:05:50.100 of dollars more
00:05:50.960 than they thought
00:05:51.460 it was going to cost.
00:05:52.260 It's not even believable.
00:05:53.700 To Brad and to people
00:05:55.120 sitting here,
00:05:56.080 would you believe
00:05:56.700 that a train,
00:05:57.320 it was going to cost
00:05:58.660 X dollars
00:05:59.880 and it might be
00:06:00.560 100 times X.
00:06:02.600 Would have paid for this
00:06:03.480 for about 50 million
00:06:05.500 American children.
00:06:06.640 You're right.
00:06:07.320 50 million American children
00:06:08.640 instead of a three-mile
00:06:09.840 train track
00:06:10.820 that never got built.
00:06:11.980 We could have put
00:06:12.640 Lincoln in charge
00:06:13.500 with no experience.
00:06:14.600 He would have done
00:06:15.060 a good job.
00:06:16.060 I guarantee you that.
00:06:17.860 All right, please, Peter.
00:06:19.200 Mr. President,
00:06:19.840 have you gotten an update
00:06:20.860 from your negotiating?
00:06:22.060 Thank you, President Trump.
00:06:22.820 So, it seems like
00:06:24.140 Gavin Newsom
00:06:24.820 likes the attention
00:06:26.420 that he's getting
00:06:27.040 right now from you.
00:06:28.380 I do, yeah.
00:06:28.740 It seems like he does.
00:06:30.740 He, if you look
00:06:32.300 at recent history,
00:06:33.600 somebody who was
00:06:34.120 running for president,
00:06:35.300 you, who got arrested
00:06:36.540 and had a mugshot,
00:06:37.660 you could make the argument
00:06:38.480 that politically
00:06:39.180 that wound up helping you.
00:06:41.220 Are you worried at all
00:06:42.740 at this moment?
00:06:44.040 The talking about him
00:06:44.980 getting arrested
00:06:45.620 could be helpful
00:06:46.640 to his political prospects
00:06:48.520 because a lot of people
00:06:49.600 think he wants to be
00:06:50.280 sitting right where you are.
00:06:51.180 Well, in my case,
00:06:52.260 it was a witch hunt
00:06:53.100 and everybody knew it
00:06:54.120 and I was able to explain
00:06:55.260 that during the process.
00:06:56.480 Otherwise, I wouldn't
00:06:57.140 be sitting here right now
00:06:58.260 and it was a total witch hunt.
00:06:59.720 It's proven to be a witch hunt
00:07:00.940 and you see what's happened.
00:07:02.260 In his case,
00:07:02.980 it really is very obvious.
00:07:04.480 You look at what's happened
00:07:05.440 between the fires,
00:07:07.460 between, I could name
00:07:09.300 10 things right now.
00:07:10.860 We talk about the trains.
00:07:12.060 We talk about
00:07:12.720 all of the costs
00:07:14.260 in California.
00:07:15.380 You talk about
00:07:16.220 all of the people
00:07:17.100 that are flowing
00:07:17.680 and destroying life
00:07:18.680 for everyone else.
00:07:19.460 So, no, I don't think
00:07:21.060 it's going to help them.
00:07:21.760 I think it's actually
00:07:22.880 very bad for them.
00:07:24.000 And right around the time
00:07:25.040 that we were walking in here,
00:07:26.840 the governor
00:07:27.800 and the state attorney general
00:07:29.620 said that they're going to sue you
00:07:31.300 for sending the National Guard
00:07:32.700 and they're saying
00:07:33.160 there's no invasion,
00:07:34.140 there's no rebellion.
00:07:35.480 The president is trying
00:07:36.300 to manufacture chaos
00:07:37.900 and crisis on the ground
00:07:39.280 for his own political ends.
00:07:41.640 Federalizing the California
00:07:42.680 National Guard
00:07:43.340 is an abuse
00:07:44.140 of the president's authority
00:07:45.500 under law.
00:07:47.120 Well, you know,
00:07:47.760 it's interesting.
00:07:48.700 You watch the same clips
00:07:49.860 as I did.
00:07:50.960 Cars burning all over the place,
00:07:52.600 people rioting.
00:07:53.420 And by the way,
00:07:53.940 we stopped it.
00:07:55.020 We were able to make it
00:07:55.900 much better,
00:07:56.720 but it still looked pretty bad.
00:07:58.580 And in watching clips last night,
00:08:01.420 people were saying,
00:08:02.040 this is really a big problem.
00:08:04.180 And until we went in,
00:08:05.280 if we didn't do the job,
00:08:06.360 that place would be burning down
00:08:07.720 just like the houses burned down.
00:08:09.600 They were in big trouble
00:08:10.480 last night, Peter.
00:08:11.380 You know it.
00:08:12.000 And the night before
00:08:12.800 and the night before that.
00:08:14.240 And I feel we had no choice.
00:08:16.320 I don't want to see,
00:08:17.180 I don't want to see happen
00:08:18.700 what happened
00:08:19.500 so many times in this country.
00:08:21.280 I watched Minneapolis burn.
00:08:23.760 I watched,
00:08:24.460 look at what happened
00:08:25.360 in so many different parts
00:08:26.720 of California.
00:08:28.160 You take a look
00:08:28.800 at what happened
00:08:29.440 in San Diego.
00:08:30.840 There's so many
00:08:31.840 different places
00:08:32.740 where we let it burn.
00:08:34.740 We want to be politically correct.
00:08:36.360 We want it to be nice.
00:08:37.700 We want to be nice
00:08:38.700 to the criminal.
00:08:40.000 And what you're doing
00:08:40.680 is destroying the fabric
00:08:41.840 of our life in this country.
00:08:43.160 No, we did the right thing.
00:08:44.980 We've been given credit
00:08:45.960 by people that I would
00:08:47.780 least suspect.
00:08:49.400 I would say that
00:08:50.500 some of the people
00:08:51.620 that came in and said,
00:08:52.680 thank goodness,
00:08:53.840 they said,
00:08:54.380 some of them,
00:08:55.140 thank God
00:08:55.840 that Trump got involved.
00:08:57.300 And I'm very happy
00:08:58.060 I got involved.
00:08:59.120 And I think Gavin
00:09:00.620 in his own way
00:09:01.400 is probably happy
00:09:02.300 I got involved.
00:09:03.240 Yeah, go ahead, Peter.
00:09:03.960 What do you make
00:09:04.900 of the fact that he says
00:09:06.180 you want a civil war
00:09:08.320 on the streets of America?
00:09:10.620 No, it's just the opposite.
00:09:12.120 I don't want a civil war.
00:09:13.500 A civil war would happen
00:09:14.860 if you left it.
00:09:15.560 If you left it to people like him
00:09:17.160 and I liked him,
00:09:18.220 you know,
00:09:18.380 I always got along with him,
00:09:19.720 never had a problem with him,
00:09:21.140 but he's grossly incompetent.
00:09:23.280 One thing's for sure.
00:09:24.620 Donald Trump
00:09:25.220 is not backing down.
00:09:26.540 He is going to protect
00:09:27.340 American citizens
00:09:28.400 even in sanctuary cities.
00:09:30.440 Which brings me
00:09:31.200 to the second part
00:09:32.160 of the conversation.
00:09:33.480 What is going to happen next?
00:09:35.460 It is very clear
00:09:36.780 that the Democrats
00:09:37.800 and their donors
00:09:39.560 are going to help spread
00:09:41.780 all of this chaos
00:09:43.480 to many other cities.
00:09:45.100 As I'm doing this show
00:09:46.200 right now,
00:09:46.980 we are seeing protests
00:09:48.120 pop up from Florida
00:09:49.360 to Texas
00:09:50.280 and pretty much now
00:09:51.960 everywhere in between.
00:09:53.900 There is no doubt
00:09:55.660 that the Democratic Party
00:09:57.220 is behind this
00:09:58.160 and their mega donors.
00:09:59.800 This is what they do.
00:10:01.180 I also want to say this.
00:10:03.220 Expect a lot more of this
00:10:04.980 to happen in the days
00:10:06.240 and the weeks ahead.
00:10:07.720 Democrats believe
00:10:09.100 that law and order
00:10:10.100 should not take place
00:10:11.580 in their sanctuary cities.
00:10:13.260 In fact,
00:10:13.800 they want this chaos
00:10:14.940 so they can blame it
00:10:15.920 on Donald Trump.
00:10:17.120 Which brings me
00:10:18.000 to Kristi Noem.
00:10:19.300 Kristi Noem,
00:10:20.340 the Department of Homeland
00:10:21.280 Security Secretary,
00:10:22.780 came out
00:10:23.460 and had this to say
00:10:24.840 about what's happening
00:10:26.500 in L.A.
00:10:27.640 Listen carefully
00:10:28.640 to the words
00:10:29.740 she chooses
00:10:30.620 as she's explaining
00:10:32.180 what's happening
00:10:33.300 with the leaders there.
00:10:35.020 Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:35.840 And that's, Sean,
00:10:36.400 those are the people
00:10:37.200 we're going after.
00:10:38.160 I mean, those are our targets.
00:10:39.380 Today we had over
00:10:40.220 four to five hundred targets
00:10:41.860 we were going after
00:10:42.660 that were known members
00:10:43.880 of gangs in L.A.
00:10:45.720 that have been victimizing
00:10:47.260 people for years
00:10:48.560 that Gavin Newsom
00:10:49.860 has done absolutely
00:10:50.640 nothing about,
00:10:51.580 that Mayor Bass
00:10:52.420 has done absolutely
00:10:53.140 nothing about.
00:10:53.840 Listen, I served with her
00:10:54.760 in Congress
00:10:55.360 before she was ever mayor.
00:10:57.600 And she is a train wreck
00:10:58.760 of a mayor now
00:10:59.540 that is endorsing
00:11:00.560 these kind of activities,
00:11:01.700 has allowed her city
00:11:03.400 to be completely
00:11:04.300 devastated with crime.
00:11:05.560 And now she's holding
00:11:07.120 press conferences
00:11:08.020 talking about the fact
00:11:09.660 that people have the right
00:11:10.420 to peacefully protest
00:11:11.500 and that they're
00:11:12.240 a city of immigrants.
00:11:13.260 Well, they're not
00:11:13.720 a city of immigrants,
00:11:14.920 they're a city of criminals
00:11:15.880 because she has protected them
00:11:17.640 for so many years.
00:11:18.680 And so we're coming in
00:11:19.800 and doing what the president
00:11:21.400 has said that he's going to do
00:11:22.840 and he's going to allow people
00:11:24.460 to live in a safe community again.
00:11:26.820 And we're going to use
00:11:28.020 the authority that he has
00:11:29.220 as president of the United States
00:11:30.640 to conduct these operations.
00:11:32.400 And the more that people
00:11:33.600 conduct violence
00:11:34.480 against law enforcement officers,
00:11:35.980 boy, we're going to hit them back.
00:11:37.760 And we're going to hit them back
00:11:38.580 harder than we ever have before.
00:11:40.280 And we conducted
00:11:40.920 more operations today
00:11:42.200 than we did the day before.
00:11:44.100 And tomorrow,
00:11:44.800 we're going to double
00:11:45.380 those efforts again.
00:11:47.040 The more that they protest
00:11:48.240 and commit acts of violence
00:11:50.140 against law enforcement officers,
00:11:52.360 the harder ICE
00:11:53.180 is going to kind of come after them
00:11:54.520 because these people
00:11:55.420 are patriots.
00:11:56.280 These ICE officers
00:11:57.740 are people who are fighting
00:11:58.880 for their country.
00:11:59.780 And I'm so proud of them.
00:12:00.880 They've acted with dignity.
00:12:02.780 They've acted with grace
00:12:04.120 under stressful situations.
00:12:06.540 And when they've been disrespected,
00:12:08.040 they've responded appropriately
00:12:09.680 under the law
00:12:10.520 to make sure that they were
00:12:11.740 treating every single individual
00:12:13.260 the same and making sure
00:12:14.980 that due process was followed
00:12:16.400 and that they were doing their jobs.
00:12:18.240 So this is an unfortunate situation
00:12:20.860 that we see violence
00:12:21.920 and instigators out there.
00:12:24.100 But the president Trump
00:12:25.320 is really dedicated
00:12:26.540 to bringing peace again.
00:12:27.980 Kristi Noem is right.
00:12:29.100 L.A. is not a city of immigrants.
00:12:30.560 They are a city of criminals
00:12:32.100 under the mayor's protection.
00:12:34.520 And she protected them
00:12:35.540 for so many years
00:12:36.600 that this anarchy and chaos
00:12:38.160 is now the reality.
00:12:39.760 I will also say it again.
00:12:41.920 And remember this moment.
00:12:43.600 The Democratic Party
00:12:44.900 is going to do everything they can
00:12:47.420 to turn L.A. into the test case.
00:12:50.920 They're going to learn
00:12:51.700 from what they've done
00:12:52.700 and they're going to move this
00:12:54.460 to other cities.
00:12:56.180 They're going to act like it's organic.
00:12:58.060 It is pre-planned,
00:13:00.160 well-organized,
00:13:01.440 and paid for by the radical left
00:13:03.620 that cares more about illegal immigrants
00:13:05.880 than those in this country
00:13:08.600 that are actually American citizens.
00:13:11.180 And that's exactly
00:13:12.100 who Donald Trump
00:13:12.980 is trying to protect.
