Are you going to deploy marines in California.
We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction. And we hope to have the support of Gavin because Gavin's the big beneficiary as we straighten out his problems. I mean, his state is a mess.
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Good Tuesday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning Update, and we have one big story for you today. Gavin Newsom says it's not an insurrection in California, but he is wanting to sue the President of the United States of America, suing Trump for what he says is the legal takeover of the California National Guard. Legal experts say Gavin Newsom's gonna lose this battle, but it doesn't matter
because he's decided to put politics over public safety. We're also going to talk about this spreading and is this organic or is this just another summer of rage being paid for by the radical left that we saw under Black Lives Matter and Finally, what is the president saying in response to all of this? You're gonna hear his own words. It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now.
Story number one.
Anarchy and chaos continuing to erupt in LA and now coming to a city near you. In fact, it's almost likely seen this before in the summer of rage with Black Lives Matter protests that popped up all over the country. Well, now in LA, they're not going after the actual bad guys that are attacking law enforcement. No, no, no, they're now coming after Donald Trump and threatening to sue the governor, making this his political stand. Let me just remind you
what the same Democrats were saying over the weekend. Elizabeth Warren was saying it was just, you know, peaceful protests. Kamala Harris refer to it overwhelmingly peaceful protests. Corey Booker said it was a peaceful protest again on the Sunday morning shows, and Gavin Newsom said that the anarchy you're seeing right now on TV is quote under control. Even the Los Angeles Police Department line saying it was quote a weekend you know, without incident quote unquote. So how
did it change? So quickly. We're now California is saying they're suing Donald Trump and they're angry that Donald Trump set in the National Guard. Now, I want to play for you. Donald Trump, in his own words, asked about two different things, one about setting in the National Guard and two Gavin Newsom in California threatening to sue Donald Trump. That's right. They're not going after the rapists or the terrorists. They're not going after the human smugglers, the sex traffickers.
They're not going after those that are selling FETNL that is killing more Americans my age than anything else in this country's history. No, no, no, Instead, they're doing what democrats do well. They're suing Donald Trump.
When you were talking about unrest in American cities, you said, quote, we have to go by the laws. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor. What change now, why is this situation different to not consult with governor? Knew some about the Well, the.
Biggest change from that statement is we have an incompetent governor. So I talked about governors, but I didn't talk about he's an incompetent governor. Look at the job he's doing in California. He's destroying one of our great states. And if I didn't get involved, if we didn't bring the guard in, and we would bring more in if we needed it, because we have to make sure there's going to be law and order. You had a disaster happening, and they now admit it was a disaster. I watched
the chief yesterday. It was a good man, by the way, and he said, well, we're lucky we did this, because they would They were overwhelmed. You saw what was happening, So we did the right thing. Everybody agrees to that. But you have a governor who let the city burn down and didn't want water to be sent down to im and I sent billions of gallons of water. I wanted to do it in the first term. We wouldn't do it over I don't know they have environmental reasons,
but there were no environmental reasons. It's I think it's just a political philosophy. But it's lucky for the people in Los Angeles and in California that we did what we did. We got it just in time. It's still simmering a little bit. Primary crime is running for governor because he's done such a bad job. What he's done to that state is like what Biden did to this country, and that's pretty bad. It's a wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds
of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners. They are taking up your health care, they're taking up your space and schools, they're taking up your hospital and in many cases they're criminals, and we have to do something about it, and we're doing something about it. I want to thank the incredible patriots of Ice and Tom Holman who's been incredible, and Christinome likewise incredible the job they're doing. And it's like an unforced eraror there was no reason
for this. Twenty one million people were allowed into our country and many of those people were criminals, and it's a shame. It's a shame, but we're getting them out. And I will say I think it's a ninety five to five issue, just like so many other issues, ninety five to five, and the Democrats lost an election in a landslide because they're on the wrong side of the issues. I mean, it's not even conceivable that somebody would do
the kind of things that he did. And then you know, you talk about projects they want to build a train going from San Francisco to la and it's costing hundreds of billions of dollars more than they thought it was going to cost. It's not even believable to bread and to people sitting here. Would you believe that a train it was going to cost X dollars that it might be one hundred times X would have paid for this for about fifty million American children. You're right, fifty million
American children. Instead of a three mile train track that never got built. We could have put Lincoln in judge with no experience. He would have done a good job. I guarantee you that, please, Peter.
So it seems like Gavin Newsom likes the attention that he's getting right now. From I do, it seems like he does. He If you look at recent history, somebody who was running for president you who got arrested and had a mugshot, you could make the argument that politically that wound up helping you. Are you worried at all at this moment, but talking about him getting arrested could be helpful to his political prospects because a lot of people think he wants to be sitting right where you.
Are, well in my case, it was a witch hunt and everybody knew it, and I was able to explain that during the process, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here right now, And it was a total witch hunt. Has proven to be a witch hunt. And you see what's happened in his case. It really is very obvious to look at what's happened between the fires. Between it. I
could name ten things right now. We talk about the trains, we talk about all of the costs in California, you talk about all of the people that are flowing and destroying life for everyone else. So no, I don't think it's going to help them. I think it's actually very bad for him.
And right around the time that we were walking in here, the governor and the state attorney general said that they're going to sue you for sending the National Guard. And they're saying there's no invasion, there's no rebellion. The president is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends. Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the president's authority under law.
Well, you know, it's interesting, you watched the same clips as I did, cars burning all over the place, people riding and by the way we stopped it, we were able to make it much better, but it still looked pretty bad. And in watching clips last night, people were saying, this is really a big problem until we went in. If we didn't do the job, that place would be burning down, just like the houses burned down. They were in big trouble last night, Peter, you know it, and
the night before and the night before that. And I feel we had no choice. I don't want to see I don't want to see happen what happened so many times in this country. I watched Minneapolis burn, I watched look at what happened in so many different parts of California. You take a look at what happened in San Diego. There's so many different places where we let it burn. We want to be politically correct, We wanted to be nice.
We want to be nice to the criminal, and what you're doing is destroying the fabric of our life in this country. Now, we did the right thing. We've been given credit for by people that I would least suspect why. I would say that some of the people that came in and said thank goodness, they said some of them. Thank God that Trump got involved, and I'm very happy I got involved, and I think Gavin, in his own way, is probably happy I got involved.
You go ahead, But what do you make of the fact that he says, you want a civil war on the streets of America.
No, that's just the opposite. I don't want a civil war. Civil war would happen if you left it, if you left it to people like him. And I liked him, you know, I always got along with him, never had a problem with him. But he's grossly incompetent.
One thing's for sure, Donald Trump is not backing down. He is going to protect American citizens, even in sanctuary cities, Which brings me the second part of the conversation, what is going to happen next? It is very clear that the Democrats and their donors are going to help spread all of this chaos to many other cities. As I'm doing the show right now, we are seeing protests pop up from Florida to Texas and pretty much now everywhere in between. There is no doubt that the Democratic Party
is behind this, and they're mega donors. This is what they do. I also want to say this, expect a lot more of this to happen in the days and the weeks ahead. Democrats believe that law and orders should not take place in their sanctuary cities. In fact, they want this chaos so they can blame it on Donald Trump, which brings me to Christie no. Christy Nome, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, came out and had this to
say about what's happening in LA. Listen carefully to the words she chooses as she's explaining what's happening with the leaders there.
Yeah, well, absolutely mean that's Sean. Those are the people we're going after. I mean, those are our targets today we head over four to five hundred targets we were going after. There were known members of gangs in LA that have been victimizing people for years that Gavin Newsom has done absolutely nothing about.
That.
Mayor Bass has done absolutely nothing about Listen. I served with her in Congress before she was ever mayor, and she is a train wreck of a mayor now that is endorsing these kind of activities, has allowed her city to be completely devastated with crime, and now she's holding press conferences talking about the fact that people have the
right to peacefully protest and that they're a city of immigrants. Well, they're not a city of immigrants, they're a city of criminals because she has protected them for so many years. And so we're coming in and doing what the President has said that he's going to do, and he's going to allow people to live in a safe community again, and we're going to use the authority that he has as president of the United States to conduct these operations.
And the more that people conduct violence against law enforcement officers, boy, we're going to hit him back, and we're going to hit him back harder than we ever had before. And we conducted more operations today than we did the day before, and tomorrow we're going to double those efforts again. The more that they protest and commit acts of violence against law enforcement officers, the harder ice is going to kind
of come after them. Because these people are patriots. These ice officers are people who are fighting for their country and I'm so proud of them. They've acted with dignity, they've acted with grace under stressful situations, and when they've been disrespected, they've responded appropriately under the law to make sure that they were treating every single individual the same and making sure that due process was followed and that
they were doing their jobs. So this is an unfortunate situation that we see violence and instigators out there, but the President Trump is really dedicated to bringing peace again.
Christine Noman's right. LA is not a city of immigrants. They are a city of criminals under the mayor's protection, and she protected them for so many years that this anarchy and chaos is now the reality. I will also say it again and remember this moment. The Democratic Party is going to do everything they can to turn La into the test case. They're going to learn from what they've done, and they're going to move this to other cities.
They're going to act like it's organic. It is pre planned, well organized, and paid for by the radical left that cares more or about illegal immigrants than those in this country that are actually American citizens. And that's exactly who Donald Trump is trying to protect.
