Among our topics for today's report, we look into what to expect with the incoming Trump administration, and we also look ahead by looking back at past deportations of illegals as plans for deporting illegals comes front

and center once again. Our dirty Little Secret tells us that Pete Hegseat has been chosen to serve as Secretary of Defense in the upcoming Trump administration, and the Democrat lawmakers, as usual, displayed their ignorance between males and females during his testimony, and I'll explain that in our Dirty Little Secret segment. Today's solution segment looks eagerly ahead to strong financial gains and rebuildings a strong US economy. Now listen

of cover, so let's get started once again. This is Gene Bellerani reporting. As you probably know by now, Monday is inauguration day for incoming President Donald Trump to be sworn in as the forty seventh president of the United States. Mister Trump was also the forty fifth president when first elected back in twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty, Trump was defeated by Joe Biden, who was the forty sixth president.

But Trump has regained the presidency when he was reelected last November and will once again be sworn into office. Trump is the second person to have lost the presidency and regained it the second time around four years later. The first president to have won lost and won again a second term was Grover Cleveland, who was born who was both born but both the twenty second and the twenty fourth president. President Cleveland was the first Democrat to

win the presidency after the Civil War. He was one of only two presidents to be elected to serve non consecutive terms. The second president to accomplish this, of course, is Donald Trump, who, as I just said, was both

the forty fifth and forty seventh US president. Listen, there's still questions out there as to whether Joe Biden actually defeated Trump back in twenty twenty, due to how the COVID epidemic was a big factor in whether or not the votes which swept Biden into the presidency were valid or not. Right, They're going to argue that for decades

to count. But this time Trump accomplished a comeback, of course, much as now expected of mister Trump, who's also the first president to have been branded a convicted felon by a New York jury under the questionable trial brought by New York York Democrat prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who cobbled together twenty four expired misdemeanors against Trump for payments that he made to stripper Stormy Daniels and use those payments to create a pilamy against mister Trump, who still plans to

seek dismissal, claiming he never had an affair with her, but nonetheless he was convicted by a Democrat New York jury and while found guilty, will face no jail time, only the stigma of being a convicted felon until and if he's able to eventually get the case against him

thrown out in the near future on appeals. Trump won the November election in a landslide, much to the chagrin of the Democrats, and on Monday will once again take control of the US president see with the promise of corrupting all the wrongs created by Di Biden administration's open borders policy, which has created a massive migration of illegals

slipping across the border into the United States. One of the first orders of Trump will be the roundup of illegals and followed by mass deportations of them back to their countries of origin. This will be among the first of mister Trump's orders once he assumes office the Office

of the Presidency on Monday. This will be followed by massive changes in legislation and tax laws to help resurrect the US economy by creating job opportunities on a massive scale to once again boost the US economy back to where it was before the decline. The right, I'm going to get things going back again, back to where it was before the decline that by the administration brought the bear.

But we the American people. With Republicans holding majorities now in both the House and Senate, it's expected that most of the legislation to begin being passed will come from

President Trump himself. Democrats, of course, will do as much as they can to thwart any progress, but with Republicans holding now both the House and Senate and the White House, massive legislation boosting the economy and border protection measures they're going to take hold, and many will see opportunities for employment and economic growth that was not occurring under the Biden years, which seemed more intent on curbing US growth and aiding foreign development over US efforts to bring back

a thriving economy. To the people of the United States, well, Trump's back, We're going to have a thriving economy, and the future is going to look right. One might say, happy days are here again, with more opportunities for the American people than have been the case in the past four years under Biden and a Democrat having some of these petty dictators around the world. Take notice. We're back when We'll be back with more of this in a few seconds. Stay two.

States announced the Brossero program. At its peak, the Brasero program allotted around three hundred and nine thousand contracts to Mexican laborers, and what followed was a series of repat creations under the name Operation Wetback. Similar representation occurred during the Great Depression, and Operation Wetback was a program of massive apprehension and deportations aimed at undocumented Mexican nationals by

the US Border Patrol along with the Mexican government. Teams of border patrol agents, buses, airplanes, and temporary processing stations began locating, processing, and deporting Mexicans who had entered the United States. A total of seven hundred and fifty immigration and Border patrol officers and investigators joined the force. Three hundred jeeps, cars and buses, and seven air planes were

allocated to this operation. Team were focused on processing, as planes were able to coordinate with ground efforts and quickly to pourt people into Mexico, and those deported were handed off to Mexican officials, who in turn moved them into central Mexico, where they were given many labor opportunities. They moved them deeper into Mexico, and while the operations included the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, its

main targets were border areas in Texas and California. Overall, there were one million, seventy four thousand, two hundred and seventy seven returns defined as confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deported alien out of the United States based on order of removal in the first year of what they called back then Operation Wetback, and this included many workers without papers who fled to Mexico fearing arrest, and over half a million from Texas alone, But after nineteen sixty two,

the sweeps declined each year. Despite the decline in sweeps, the total number of border patrol agents more than doubled to nearly seventeen hundred by nineteen sixty two, and an additional plane was added to the forts. Nonetheless, the continuation of illegal immigration despite the efforts of Operation wetback along came an outcry over many US citizens of Mexican descent being swept up and deported along with the illegals. This then was largely responded for the failure of the program.

They were taking people of Mexican descent who were here in the United States illegally, rounding them up and sending them back to Mexico. So as one can see, illegal border crossings and deportations is really nothing new and has been going on for decades now. But in the Biden years, when Biden became president, everything changed so that illegals were welcomed from all over the world. They began slipping in

to the United States. Many of those illegals were among Muslim terrorists sneaking into our country to begin carrying out acts of terrorism here in the United States, with no effort by the Biden administration to try and filter out terrorists from those sneaking in to find work and possibly a better life and was available in their home countries. So we find ourselves as Americans once again here we go.

We find ourselves once again dealing with this massive illegal entry into the United States, coming here to work, and also who bringing terrorists with them in the crowds. And they're using Biden's open border policies which anyone from anywhere to slip into the United States, and many of whom were coming here to do harm and spread terrorism through here through our they're coming here to commit acts of terror.

But with Trump coming in as president, the curtain is finally going down on illegal immigration and a return to law and order along the US border from Mexico and Canada. Canada as well too. Illegals will be stopped at the border, sent back to where they came from, and those rounded up and apprehended in the United States will also be arrested and departed. It's something that has to occur, ladies and gentlemen, for a return to law and order in the United States. If ignored as it was under the

Biden administration. The situation was getting out of hand and eventually would lead to a lawless society. It's something that must occur, and we have a newly elected President Trump to finally begin the process of carrying it out. And it's happened before. That's what I was just reporting to you. When this occurred back in the nineteen fifties and early sixties, they were rounding up people who had come here illegally

re sending them back to Mexico. But this ordeal of massive roundups of illegals and sending them back to their home countries is nothing new in the history of the United States. It's happened before, it's going to happen again, and we're just going to have to keep tightening up the border because if we don't do this, if this doesn't occur, then the country would obviously you have more illegal non American people here than you would of American citizens.

Now would that? How would that work out? It would? So it's something that has to begin, and it will begin very shortly after President incoming President Trump takes the oath of office on Sunday morning. Back with war right after this.

While the Republican senators were gentler in their questioning, part of the questioning by Democrat senators were hostile as to comments Hegseth made in the past about women serving in the military and how he felt about it. Which, based on his earlier statements he liked many other American males feel there's a place for women in the military, but not in frontline combat operations. In today's political climate, for anyone to feel that females in the military should not

serve in frontline combat obviously sets most Democrats off. I guess they want to fill the military up with the ladies right in combat situations. Can imagine how that would work turn out. If hardcore left wing Democrat politicians had their way, they would fill the ranks of the military with women right alongside with the men. And anyone who thinks mixing young females with young males in a military frontline unit is a good idea doesn't have a full

grasp of nature. And I'm sure there are some tough young women capable of keeping up with young men physically, but trust me, they're far and few between. In case the Democrat politicians in Washington, DC are unaware, let me let them in on a little secret. Women are just

different than men, both physically and mentally. Most of them are tender hearted, beautiful creatures whose instincts tell them to seek the protection of men to help them protect life of course there's always exceptions, but one size does not fit all. I served my time in a Marine Corps frontline company, and trust me, it's no place for young women. In fact, it goes against nature and centuries of civilization.

Of course, there are places in the US military where women can serve to support the men in the front lines and who are needed. But the politics of where and when women should serve in the military should include some common sense. And that's really what what I'm talking about here. Know, when it comes to Poland, common sense

has a tendency to disappear, doesn't it. Some of the comments and questions by Democrats being thrown at potential candidates to serve in the Trump administration border on the ridiculous and they should have no place in the hearings. We Americans spend a lot of Sunday afternoons watching football on television. How long would our wives, sisters, or daughters last on an NFL team? Is it discrimination against swimen not to

permit them to participate on an NFL team? Of course, we all see how ridiculous it would be when a male wants to compete in female sports. When the sport is swimming or a less physically demanding sport. That's not fair, and most sensible people can see that. But anything that goes against nature seems to be okay with today's Democrat Party. It has more to do with an agenda than it has to do with fair play. But then to correct it, we have to answer the question within the realm of

common sense before we can call anything discrimination. There are just some things men can do better than women, and then by the same token, some things women can do better than men. And if we take the time to read the Good Book, we see that it was God Almighty who set the standards between men and women. So when we go about trying to change rules or call something fair that is really unfair, we should have enough

sense to know what we're talking about. Life's complicated enough, ladies and gentlemen, and we Americans for the most part, have the ability to accomplish many things we set out to do, but we need to know how to get them within due bounds when it's obviously out of bounds

to begin with. We have Donald Trump taking the oath of office one day, Hopefully somewhere in the world of politics, enough people will have enough common sense to work with our incoming president, because, as they say, a house divided against itself cannot stand. And you know who told told us that, who's Jesus? A house divided is divided against

itself cannot stand. So when we get these these nonsensical deals where they want to mix the boys with the girls and all that, that's that's just not going to work. It's really discrimination against the females anyhow. That's that that's another issue you now that's occurring these with these hearings that are going on as Trump has brought his candidate's board that he wants to put in his cabinet, and naturally the Democrats are finding fault with many of them.

They're finding fault with they don't they don't agree that there's a difference between male and female. We all know that's not true.

stronger than women, there's no question about that. And men are ordered by God Almighty to protect their families and help help with the child bearing is inasmuch as raising the children and putting food on the table. I think that's the original responsibility. That man would have to work by the sweat of his brow and the females would have to undergo childbirth. Anyhow, anything that's in the Bible, they seem to want to contradict. We'll be back with more right after this.

the banks to fail.
