You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Tuesday morning. Welcome. It is Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice to have you on the 47 Morning Update. And here are the three big stories that we're covering today. First up, we are 100 days of

Right now into the Trump administration. And we now have some of the intel on just how secure the southern border has become because Donald Trump's promise to do exactly that. Secure the southern border no matter what. Up next, we'll also talk about how the media lost their minds as they put up posters on the White House lawn showing the violent criminals that have been arrested since Trump has been in office. More on that in just a second.

And finally, so what are the Democrats doing 100 days into the Trump administration? They're calling for impeachment of Donald Trump. Yes, official articles of impeachment apparently from Congress. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. Today is a very important day in the administration of Donald Trump. The first 100 days is a

We'll be right back.

promise to secure the southern border. President Donald Trump delivered on his campaign promises to secure the U.S. border, achieving historic reductions in illegal crossings and apprehensions of dangerous criminals. His administration has implemented tough policies, including designating violent gangs as phony

foreign terrorist organizations and resuming border wall construction to enhance national security and public safety through mass deportation operations and targeted enforcement. The administration has now arrested over a hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants in

including gang members and criminals, while drastically reducing the number of unaccompanied minors also crossing the southern border. In fact, illegal border encounters are down 95% in the first 100 days of Trump being in office. 99%

99.99% is a very important number. It deals with catch and release. From the worst month of Joe Biden to where we are now, it is down 99.99%. President Trump has taken decisive action to eliminate sanctuary cities as well and cut federal benefits for illegal immigrants, redirecting resources instead to support American citizens, putting us first.

Trump's administration has also invoked the Alien Enemies Act to dismantle migrant criminal networks and also to shut down immigration apps used to exploit the system. With measures like the Lake and Riley Act and executive orders to streamline border security, it is clear in the first hundred days that Donald Trump's policies have literally transformed the border.

into the most secure in modern American history. Now, you don't have to take my word for it. Since President Donald Trump took office, he and his administration have ushered in the most secure border in modern American history, and he didn't need legislation to do it. President Trump has made good on the promise he made on the campaign trail to usher in the unprecedented error.

of homeland security being a priority. Now, I said a moment ago, you don't have to take my word for it. Just take a listen to what the media has said in their reporting of just how quickly things have changed. Now, the president also made this promise when he was running for president saying, quote, we will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegal immigrants

aliens into our country. He said that in Aurora, Colorado, September the 12th of 2024, when he was making his closing arguments to the American people of why they should vote for him. Well, let's talk about that promise that has been kept. Number one, illegal border encounters are now down 95%. Illegal immigrant gotaways, the top 10%.

threat to public safety are down 99%. And then the media is backing up what the president is saying. Fox News correspondent Bill Malusian put it this way, quote, if Fox were to send me down there right now, I would have trouble finding a single migrant on

camera. CBS immigration reporter saying it this way. Typically, when we go to the U.S.-Mexico border, we at least see one group of people who are trying to cross into the U.S. illegally. We did not see a single migrant this time. The Wall Street Journal saying it this way. Border crossings grind to a halt as Trump's tough policies take hold.

Bloomberg said it this way. U.S. bound migration plunges 99% along the Panama jungle route as people from all over the world clearly know that now is not a time to come to America. The Washington Times saying it this way. Under President Trump, border catch and release has dropped 99.99% from worse Biden month. And the Los Angeles Times putting it this way. California

Mexico border once overwhelmed, now nearly empty. Yes, the president of the United States of America paid off on this campaign promise to secure the border, and he did it in his first 100 days. Now, story number two. The White House on Monday morning made it very clear that they wanted to remind the American people of exactly who they are arresting in the first 100 days of the administration. And on Monday morning, images of the worst crimes

criminal illegal immigrants arrested since President Donald J. Trump took office were placed on the lawn of the White House for the world to see. Why? Because they wanted to highlight the Trump administration's unprecedented effort to secure our homeland and send these vicious criminals back to where they belong. The White House said, we want you to meet the worst.

The media, of course, lost their mind, saying it was unfair to have the signs behind them of these criminals while they're trying to do their live shots from the lawn of the White House. Well, the important thing is, is that you meet the worst among us. Here is an example of some of those that were actually put out there on the lawn of the White House with the boards letting you know who

Who this administration is going after. And more importantly, who the Biden administration allowed to come into this country illegally and allowed to stay here. I'll give you an example. The arrest of a Jamaican national convicted of first degree murder. Ice Baltimore arrested a man, a 51 year old citizen of Jamaica. His criminal history includes convictions for murder, first degree and two counts of assault, second degree in Prince George County and Upper West.

Marlboro, Maryland. Let's move on to someone else. Another man arrested and convicted of rape. Ice Buffalo arrested a 49-year-old citizen of Fosco. The criminal history included a conviction for rape in New York County, New York. Again, someone that should have never been in this country. Another arrest of a Mexican national convicted of murder and

aggravated battery this time it was a man that is 43 years old of mexico he has a criminal history including convictions for murder and aggravated battery in santa fe new mexico who should have never been in this country or you can move on to an indian national convicted of

aggravated sexual assault of a child. Ice Houston arrested the man, a citizen of India. His criminal history includes a conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child in Harris County, Texas. There's also the arrest of a Mexican national.

A man who was convicted of predatory sexual assault of a child. I, Chicago, arrested the 45-year-old citizen of Mexico with a criminal history that includes a conviction for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child in Cook County, Illinois. Again, someone that should have never been in the country that the Biden administration allowed to stay. We can move to the arrest of a Mexican national also convicted of sexual assault of a child. I, Denver, arrested a 36-year-old citizen of Mexico.

with a criminal history that includes convictions of sexual assault, sex offense against a child, obstructing police, and driving under the influence of alcohol in Houston County, Texas. There's also the arrest of Mexican national, a man convicted of sexual abuse of a minor. ICE Chicago arrested the 57-year-old citizen of Mexico with a criminal history, including a conviction for

aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor in Illinois. Also, the arrest of a Salvadorian national convicted of sex with a minor. ICE San Francisco arrested the 40-year-old citizen of El Salvador who has the criminal history of including a conviction for sex with a minor in El

San Mateo County, California. There's also the arrest of a Mexican national convicted of sexual abuse of a child. I San Francisco arresting that 45 year old citizen of Mexico. Gomez's criminal history includes a conviction for continuous sexual abuse of a child in San Bernardino County, California.

Arrest also of a Dominican national convicted of murder. Ice Buffalo arrested the 34-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic with a criminal history, including a conviction for murder in New York County, New York. Also, the arrest of a Salvadorian national convicted of sexual offense with a child. This time, Ice Atlanta arrested the 32-year-old citizen of El Salvador with a criminal history, including a conviction for sexual offense with a child in

North Carolina. And then there's the arrest of a Mexican national convicted conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Ice Houston arrested this 64-year-old drug dealer, a citizen of Honduras with a criminal history including a conviction for murdering

in Los Angeles County, California. There's also the arrest of an Indian national convicted of lewd acts against a child under 14. ICE San Francisco arrested the 39-year-old citizen of India. The criminal history of this man includes a conviction for lewd acts

acts against a child under 14 in Sacramento, California. Then there's the arrest of a Mexican national convicted of sexual assault of a child. ICE Denver arrested the 36-year-old, a citizen of Mexico. He is a registered sex offender with criminal history, which includes convictions for sexual assault of a child and interference with school and failed to leave in Lake County, Colorado, and a conviction for theft in Summit County, Colorado. The list goes on and

and on and on and on and on. Literally, it would probably take me another 45 minutes of stories just like these to tell you just of the pictures put at the White House. So what did the media have to say about this moment? Were they glad that these criminals were taken off the streets in the U.S.? They were not. In fact, they were angry that the signs were in their live shot. Take a listen to this from MSNBC. Hurry it.

Theresa Kumar, before we let you go, we want to get your reaction to something that just occurred. The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes. You can see them there. They put them up on the driveway of the White House. If you look here, that's the West Wing just at the forefront, the executive mansion itself to the left. But what's particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the

the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn. So therefore, no matter what network you're on, that includes MSNBC, if you're doing a hit from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you. The White House doing a briefing in about a half hour about what they're doing here. Maria, your response to this image?

So I have to say, one of the biggest challenges that we have with the deportations that we know of so far, for example, with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, we don't know if they've had due process. We don't know if, in fact, these individuals do have a wrapped sheet. So I would encourage those individuals that have that as a

backshot to blur those people out. The job of journalism is to ensure that we are presenting the facts, that we are cross-referencing. We know that PolyFact actually checked the Trump administration because of an earlier picture that they released on Kilmer, recognizing that it was altered, that it was false, that they placed gang signs on him, gang signs, tattoos on him that weren't real. And so I would really...

The press right now, we are absolutely under attack. Our job is always to have our true north, to make sure that we're presenting balanced news and making sure that we are not putting folks that are potentially in danger. And having that representation of those pictures in the background

We can't allow that to basically for us to carry the water of potentially innocent people. So I would encourage, I recognize live shots are tough, but I would encourage folks to actually make sure that those shots are blurred to the best of your abilities. That's right. The media losing their minds.

demanding that the mugshots of the people I just told you about are blurred out to protect them instead of the American people. So if you want to know if Donald Trump is breaking the media, you better believe it. All you have to do is listen to that report. And just 100 days in, the most important part of the whole story is these killers and those that are going after your kids and selling drugs are being taken off the streets at record numbers.

And finally, story number three. As we hit the 100-day mark of the Trump administration, there's a question that has to be asked. What are the Democrats doing 100 days into Trump's administration? Well, they're going back to their old ways.

old playbook. The headline on the 100 days of Trump in office from the Democrats is this idea. Introducing impeachment articles against Donald Trump. What I'm about to play for you is an actual Democratic congressman. And no, this is not a Saturday Night Live skit.

This is Congressman Sree Thanedar. Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw. It's time we impeach Donald J. Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process.

Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact. This isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a dangerous, deliberate pattern. That's why today I introduced a resolution to impeach Donald J. Trump.

So there it is. 100 days is all it took for the Democrats to introduce impeachment articles yet again against Donald Trump. Another example of just how bad Trump derangement syndrome really is. And you better believe they're going to keep doing this, to keep accusing Donald Trump of obstructing justice, abusing trade powers, tyranny. And they're going to try to impeach him another time.

This is also why so many Americans are standing behind Donald Trump, because they look at the left and they realize they bring nothing to the table but anarchy and chaos. And if you don't believe me on that, just look at the multiple judges that were arrested for trying to help illegal migrants escape arrest who are now behind bars.
