Speaker 1 (00:01):
One thing that Donald Trump promised was he was going
to give the power back to the people. Well, DOGE
is leading that effort, and the President is now saying
it is a top priority to make sure that you
can go to your government when there is a problem.
Americans apparently that are witnessing crippling federal regulations are now
(00:22):
going to be allowed to go directly to DOGE to
report the red tape issues. The Department of Government Efficiency
launching a new website where you or people you know
can directly report and suggest how to deregulate and the
policies within the federal government that are holding Americans back.
(00:43):
Quote your voice in federal decision making is important impacted
by an existing rule or regulation, Well, then share your
ideas for deregulation by completing this new DOGE form. Now,
this website is now live, and I want you to
know about it, and I want you to share it
wherever you can on social media. The website is Regulations
(01:08):
with an ass dot Gov. DOGE worked with the Government
Services Administration that is an independent agency tasked with helping
support the functioning of other federal agencies, as well as
the Office of Management and Budget, which is the federal
office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts to launch the website,
(01:31):
and again that website is regulations dot gov quote. DOGE
is combining the administration's goals of adding transparency and slashing waste, fraud,
and abuse by offering the American people the unique opportunity
to recommend more deregulatory actions. This DOGE led effort highlighting
(01:55):
President Trump's top priority to put the people first and
the go government bureaucrats last. That is what the White
House spokesman said over the weekend. The website's main page
will direct users to a form where you can report
deregulatory suggestions, which provides users with more than a dozen
(02:16):
prompts regarding their issue. The prompts include describing which federal
agency has promoted a regulation at issue, if the regulation
is finalized or in the midst of the rulemaking process,
and justification for the deregulation, the history of how the
regulation operates, and the title and name of the agency's leader,
(02:38):
as well as other detailed information on the regulation. The
form prompts users also to provide their name, but the
box is not mandatory to complete before submission, meaning that
if you're, in essence, a whistleblower. They'll happily take your suggestion.
The person who submits a deregulatory suggestion could see the
Trump administration name the recession of the rule after the individual.
(03:03):
So if you would love to have your name official, well,
the Trump administration, if they take your advice, is going
to give you credit for it. Quote only answer, if
you would like the recession to be named after you
or your organization, Providing your name does not guarantee that
it will appear on any final agency action. And we
reserve the right to refrain from using names that are
(03:25):
inappropriate or offensive. This again going back to what Donald
Trump said, I'm putting Americans first and the bureaucrats last
in my administration, and it's another win for the American people.
I want to take a moment and talk to you
real quick about Israel. Israel is still under attack and
missile fire has resumed from the Huthis, from Hesblam and
(03:47):
Hama's enemies seeking Israel's destruction. Here in America, we cannot
imagine living under this constant threat of terrorism and rocket attacks.
This is the reality in Israel. Parents taking their children
to school, falling to the ground on top of their
small children, trying to comfort them as sirens blair. The
next attack against Israel is happening now with a little
time to prepare, so we must act now to help.
(04:09):
That's why I'm partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews to help provide life saving aid and security essentials.
You urgently need. A gift today will help provide security
essentials like bomb shelters, flat jackets, and bulletproof vests for
first responders, as well as armored security vehicles, armored ambulances
and so much more. So join me in standing with
(04:32):
Israel to make your gift. Call eight at eight four
eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight
four three two five are online, it's support IFCJ dot
org to give. That's one word support, IFCJ dot org. Now,
this also goes back to what Elon Musk has said.
(04:52):
And by the way, if you miss what Elon Musk
had to say to myself and Senator Cruz, go back
and listen to that podcast. It was a two part
series about what Doe is doing, and it was truly
incredible to hear exactly what Elon Musk has uncovered and
Elon Musk has railed against government regulation since the very beginning.
It was actually before the administration took office, when he
(05:15):
was helping Donald Trump win the White House. When he
joined President Trump's campaign in battleground Straits, he said, we
have a government that is not working for the people.
In a Pennsylvania rally ahead of the election, Musk recounted
how his company SpaceX was wrapped up in quote a
bunch of nutty stories related to government over regulation, including
(05:36):
studying the probability of the company's starship rocket hitting a
whale or shark, and facing lofty fines from the EPA
for dumping freshwater on the ground quote unquote. I'll tell you,
like a crazy thing, like we got fined one hundred
and forty thousand by the EPA for dumping freshwater on
(05:56):
the ground, drinking water. It's crazy. I'll just give you
an example of just how crazy it is. And we're like, well,
we're using water to cool the launch pad during launch.
You know, we're going to cool the launch pad so
it doesn't overheat, and an excess of caution, we actually
brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water must
(06:18):
said to the audience of the time in Pennsylvania last year,
and the FAA said, no, you have to pay a
one hundred and forty thousand dollars fine. And we're like,
but Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area, skywater falls
all the time, must recounter referring to SpaceX headquarters in Texas.
(06:39):
Quote that is the same as the water we use.
So it's like, well, there's no harm to anything. And
they said, yeah, but we didn't have a permit. We're like,
you need a permit for fresh water must set at
the time. And these are the types of stories that
thou Musk and the President are looking from you, the
mere can people. You have to remember that Trump went
(07:02):
on a deregulation blitz targeting energy and climate regulations last
week in a series of executive orders aim to unleash
the power of coal energy in the US, including ending
a pause to coal leasing on federal lands, promoting coal
and coal technology exports, and encouraging the use of coal
(07:23):
to power artificial intelligence activities. Quote. President Trump knows that
the bureaucracy is built to regulate, not deregulate. The results
are an ever increasing number of regulations that stifle innovation
and limit American freedom. That is what the White House
(07:43):
said this week. At the end of the day, what
it's very clear is happening is the President saying, look,
we know there's so many things that are happening that
we may not know about because of so many government
regulations that we are asking you to help. We're giving
you a website that you can go to and you
can be the whistleblower to tell us what we can
(08:05):
do to help you. Never before in our government's history
have we had a place for men and women just
like you and I to go and then tell about
how a regulation is hurting you your business or a
industry that you're involved in. You've also never had a
president encourage the American people to stand up to its
(08:29):
own government and advocate for you, telling exactly what's happening
wherever you are now. Democrats are already criticizing the website,
calling it a ridiculous notion that the American people would
be able to understand what's actually happening and they won't
understand how important the regulations actually are. Well, let me
(08:53):
say this to the Democrats. The American people know good
and well what good businesses look like and what regulation
are doing to destroy their businesses, especially small businesses. And
as Elon must put it, it's time for the American
people to have a government that listens to them, that
works for them, that advocates for them, and that makes
(09:13):
it easier for them to succeed than to fail in business.
A major victory this week for the Trump administration who
said they were going to hold student protesters accountable if
they were standing up for terrorists, especially if they are
here from another country. Now, you may remember that the
Senate Democrats came out and said we stand with the
(09:35):
pro terrorists pro hamas Columbia graduate, a guy by the
name of Makmud Khalil. Why do they do it because, well,
the Democratic Party has no problem standing with people that
are advocating and supporting for the destruction of Israel and
those that advocate for actual terrorist organizations. This is not all.
We also found out that the Senate Judiciary Democrats went
(09:58):
all in in supporting him as a political decision. This
is the latest of six separate posts that they put
out on social media promoting his cause, declaring free Muhammad Khalil.
Well he was arrested, he was a leader of last
spring's pro Hamas protests, and just last week he participated
(10:19):
in the Barnard protests in which activists were handing out
Hamas propaganda booklets justifying the October seventh attacks. This again
was during the week when Democrats supported him. Now, it's
fair to debate where the line is between free speech
and due process, and there's no doubt that that is
an important conversation half But let's be clear, Democrats have
(10:44):
no problem looking the other way when it comes to
immigration laws, and they look the other way when it
comes to protecting Jewish students on campus as well, which
brings us to the victory that all of us should
be excited about. An immigration judge has now ruled that
Mood Khalil can be deported from the US due to
(11:05):
his involvement in leading last year's pro Palace Indian protests
at Columbia University. The judge coming out and this news
breaking on Fox where Democrats lost their minds yet again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
So decision that we have been waiting for. A judge
has just ruled that the Trump administration's effort to deport
Mahmoud Khalil can move forward. Correspondent Brook Taylor live right
near that courthouse in Jeana, Louisiana. Tell us what the
judge is saying in there?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
we're down the street from the Ice Detention Center. The
courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Mahmoud
(11:58):
Khalil removed. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
was able to meet that burden and again they have
decided that Macmood Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
(12:23):
of course's attorneys are going to fight this, but how
long that process is going to take right now for
him to be deported.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
We'll send it back.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You hear that report. Democrats are angry because they wanted
to make sure that they could have as many of
these activists that have come into the United States of
America stand up for Terris and advocate for death and
destruction of the Jews all over the world. This judge
ruling on Friday that this thirty year old again can
be deported, saying the US government medits burden of proof
(12:52):
to remove him. Quote. I would like to quote what
you said last time, that there's nothing that's more important
to this court than due process rights and fundamental fairness.
That is what macmood told the court, saying, quote clearly
what we witnessed today, neither of these principles were presented
today or in the whole process.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me
to this court one thousand miles away from my family.
I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit
for me are afforded to the hundreds of others who
have been here without hearings for months now. His attorneys
again have until April the twenty third to file relief applications.
(13:37):
During the hearing, the Department of Homeland Security attorneys also
spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself on his green
card application, lying to get into the US the Department
of Homeland Security. Attorneys said that the man was not
upfront about some of the organizations that he was involved with. Macmod,
they said, willfully failed to disclose his employment with a
(14:01):
Syrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he
applied for permanent US residency. Federal officials alleged that Mackmoud
was inadmissible at the time of his adjustment because of
fraud or willful misrepresentation of material facts in his status application.
In other words, the sky's a pathological liar to get
(14:23):
into the US is what they're accusing him of. The
agency also accused him of failing to disclose his work
for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, specifically for
Palestine refugees, and membership in Columbia University's apartheid divest Now,
this is another example of the Trump administration saying we're
(14:43):
willing to dig, we're willing to look, and we're willing
to make sure that people that come to this country
are not wishing harm on anyone and aren't advocating for
terrorist organizations. This ruling, no doubt will have major precedent
in allowing the administration to con tendue to go after
those that were violent or advocating for violence on college
(15:05):
campuses coast to coast. Let me tell you about Patriot
Mobile real quick. If you've got a cell phone and
your cell phone is not with Patriot Mobile, then the
question I got to ask you is why why have
you not made the switch? Well, you should make the switch,
and the deal is really easy. You get cutting edge technology.
(15:26):
Switching has never been easier. There's no store visits, no hassles.
You get to keep your same phone number you have
right now. You get to keep your same phone you've
got now or upgrade to a new one, and they
have a one hundred percent US based team that can
activate you literally in minutes. The other thing that I
love about Patriot Mobile is this they have access to
all three major networks, meaning you get exceptional nationwide coverage.
(15:50):
I use Patriot Mobile and half for years. They can
even put a second number on a different network on
your phone. It's like carrying two phone in one. You
can have a work number and a personal number. It's amazing.
They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet
on the go devices, and home internet backup as well.
(16:13):
You can get all of this from Patriot Mobile, So
why are you waiting? Make the switch today. And by
the way, when you pay your bill, you know that
about five percent of that bill every month is going
back to support conservative causes. Causes that stand for our
First and or Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children,
and they stand with our veterans, our first responders, our
(16:36):
police and firemen, are EMTs and are wounded warriors. So
make a difference with every call you make. So right now,
go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
(16:56):
every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash for
ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot. Now, let
me also be clear about something else, because if you
think Democrats are going to lie down on this one
of the radicals are going to stop, they're not. Because
following the ruling, mcmood's immigration attorney called the decision quote
unjust as it is alarming, saying, quote, this is a
(17:19):
blatant violation of the First Amendment and a dangerous present
for anyone who believes in free speech and political expression.
Mac mood is currently in prison in Louisiana, a state
that detains over seven thousand people daily and serves as
the second largest hub for immigration attention in the US.
Louisiana's nine detention centers, eight of which are privately operated,
(17:43):
as attorney said, include the only ice facility in the
country directly connected to an airport, thus streamlining mass deportations
across the state. The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy
Noam also weighed in on the ruling, saying that the
Columbia University graduate quote hates America, saying this, it is
a privilege to be granted visa or a green card
(18:06):
to live and study in the United States of America.
When you advocate for violence, glorifying and supporting terrorists, and
relish the killing of Americans and harassed Jews, that privilege
should be revoked and you should not be in this country,
she said, and then she added good riddance now. On Tuesday,
(18:28):
his attorneys also ordered the federal government to quote provide
evidence by Wednesday justifying their attempt to deport Mike Mood.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, responded on behalf of
the government and roughly a one and a half page
letter sent to the court on Wednesday. He cited a
provision in the Immigration Nationality Act of nineteen fifty two
(18:52):
to justify the removal from the US. The provision allows
the Secretary of State to deport non citizens if the
Secretary determined their presence in the US quote would have
serious adverse foreign policy consequences. Rubio accused the man of
participating in anti Semitic protests and disruptive activities, which fosters
(19:13):
a hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.
He said anti Semitic conduct and disruptive protests the United
States would severely undermine the significant foreign policy objective Rubio
stated in his letter. The attorneys for the individual have
argued that the government's attention of the Columbia University graduate
(19:34):
is extraordinary and unprecedented, and that the Immigration and Nationality
Act of nineteen fifty two scope is quote breath taking translation.
They can't stand the fact that we have a leader
in this country and people under him who are willing
to put Americans first and not allow for people to
come into this country as a privileged individual to go
(19:58):
and study at our universities, who are there actually attacking
and trying to radicalize those around them. Quick break, Ben
Ferguson Show, much more coming up. I want to give
you a very important update on what's going on with
tariff negotiations. This is a story that the media is
not going to want to tell you about because of
(20:19):
the number that I'm about to disclose to you. You
may remember the other day there was reports out that
there were fifty countries that had lined up to negotiate
their tariffs to the Trump administration. Then that number went
to seventy, and that is when the media started getting
quiet on the story. We now have a new number,
(20:41):
and the Trump administration has told us that they are
now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries on tariffs. Now,
I want you to hear this back and forth with
liberal Jake Tapper over at CNN on Say the Union
talking with the n Asroeconomic Council Director Kevin Hassett. And
here is what Jake Chapper tried to say when he
(21:03):
was baiting him into a false narrative. Take a listen
what do.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You say to small business owners or even big business
owners who say they're having difficulty making long term business
decisions because the country seems right now to be run
by capricious whim.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh, i'd think at all, it's run by Capriciu's whim.
The way that I would think about it is that
in the previous administration, you can sort of say, if
you're thinking about it in the football analogy is that
they were running out the clock. And what's going on
now and the Trump administration is across a wide array
of policy areas. We're in a two minute offense, and
the two minute offense is pushing, as you've seen, the
(21:39):
reconciliation build through so that we get tax relief for
America people, deregulation, and of course trade policy. Now, in
the trade policy, the whole point of the trade policy
is to address the national emergency that we're too dependent
on foreign products in the US, especially if we were
at a time of conflict, and we're doing something about that.
(22:00):
And the Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if you come
to the table and negotiate us with us and treat
us the same way we treat you, then we'll you'll
get your rate really low. And so right now one
hundred and thirty countries, one hundred and thirty countries have
responded and we're negotiating with them, and they've got their
rate down to ten percent. And so really it's kind
(22:20):
of almost a two world system. There's a process about
China and that's very very nascent, if at all, and
then the process for everybody else. So the process for
everybody else is orderly. It's clear people are coming to
town with great, great offers. We've got Japan, Korea, India.
I was just talking to the Foreign Minister of India
(22:42):
and everything is moving forward very quickly. And so I
guess the bottom line is that the small business owner
has experienced over the last few weeks the start of
a process that's settling down really quite quickly. Gave one
hundred and thirty countries are at ten percent now.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So if you want to know if the administration is
working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes.
And are there people that are coming to the table,
The answer is yes. And are there a few?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Are there some?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Are there a lot? Man, Maybe you could go even
beyond that, as I quote the administration, So right now
there are one hundred and thirty countries. One hundred and
thirty countries have responded and we're negotiating with them and
they've got their rate down to ten percent. So really
it's almost a two world system. There's a process. They
(23:29):
said about countries that are not willing to come to
the table, places like China, and those are going to
be tough, but everyone else they seem to be wanting
the best deal they can get with the American government,
and that means it's an amazing deal for the American people.
So don't buy into the fear mongering. Look at the
actual results, and it's clear that there's one hundred and
(23:52):
thirty countries that are dying to get a deal done
with a Trump administration who is putting American workers and
business first instead of last. Now that's not the only
piece of good news. The President is also listening to
his advisors, and now we know that there is going
to be some exemptions on some important products that do
affect Americans. Right now, smartphones, computers, and electronic devices are
(24:18):
being exempt from the Trump administration's tariffs on China. The
administration announcing that various electronic devices such as smartphones and
computers will have the exemption from the tariffs that have
been imposed on China. In a bulletin that was posted
late Friday night by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency,
(24:39):
it was revealed that certain products quote would be exempted
from the tariffs. The tariff exemptions on certain products apply
retroactively to April to fifth. According to Axios, the products
would be exempt from recent applied tariffs, while other pre
April second tariffs would still apply. The White House press
(24:59):
singer tar Carolina Levin explained in a statement, the President
Donald Trump has made it clear that the United States
cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies semiconductors, chips, smartphones,
and laptops, saying President Trump has made it clear America
cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies such as
(25:22):
those semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops, and that's why the
President has secured trillions of dollars in US investments from
the largest tech companies in the world, including Apple, TSMC,
and NA Video. CNBC also reported that the guidance for
the USCBP includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components,
(25:47):
including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV display, flash drives,
and memory cards. The White House Deputy Press Secretary explained
that quote companies are hustling to will on shore. They're
manufacturing the United States as soon as possible. The outlet
explained that the top twenty product categories listed in the
(26:09):
CBP guidelines are apparently exempt from the one hundred and
twenty five percent tariffs that Trump is imposed on Chinese imports.
The twenty product categories listed in the CBP guidelines are
apparently exempt from the one to twenty five tariffs and
the ten percent baseline tariff on imports from other countries.
(26:29):
A twenty percent tariff on all Chinese goods remains in
effect quote unquote and a presidential memorandum. Trump explained in
the Executive Order fourteen two fifty seven that regulations imports
with a reciprocal tariff to rectified trade practices that contribute
to large and persistent annual United States good trade deficits.
(26:52):
I declare national emergency arising from conditions reflected in large
and persistent annual US goods trade deficit sits and imposed
additional ad bellorum duties as I deem necessary and appropriate
to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat, which has
its source and whole our substantial part outside of the US.
(27:16):
The national security and economic of the United States of
America is what is stated in this executive order. Now
here's what we know, the presence being clear that he's
not going to allow China to get away with much
of what they've been doing, but there are certain things
that America does need in the near term as we
start manufacturing in this country. This is also another example
(27:39):
of the President listening to those around him and listening
to the American people and industry that are saying, we
love that you're fighting for us, but there may be
some certain things will need some help on in the
short term. And this is proof that the President is
obviously putting Americans first. Yet again, We're going to cover
it all every day for you. Make sure you hit
(28:01):
that subscribe auto download button and I will see you
back here tomorrow on the program.
One thing that Donald Trump promised was he was going
to give the power back to the people. Well, DOGE
is leading that effort, and the President is now saying
it is a top priority to make sure that you
can go to your government when there is a problem.
Americans apparently that are witnessing crippling federal regulations are now
(00:22):
going to be allowed to go directly to DOGE to
report the red tape issues. The Department of Government Efficiency
launching a new website where you or people you know
can directly report and suggest how to deregulate and the
policies within the federal government that are holding Americans back.
(00:43):
Quote your voice in federal decision making is important impacted
by an existing rule or regulation, Well, then share your
ideas for deregulation by completing this new DOGE form. Now,
this website is now live, and I want you to
know about it, and I want you to share it
wherever you can on social media. The website is Regulations
(01:08):
with an ass dot Gov. DOGE worked with the Government
Services Administration that is an independent agency tasked with helping
support the functioning of other federal agencies, as well as
the Office of Management and Budget, which is the federal
office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts to launch the website,
(01:31):
and again that website is regulations dot gov quote. DOGE
is combining the administration's goals of adding transparency and slashing waste, fraud,
and abuse by offering the American people the unique opportunity
to recommend more deregulatory actions. This DOGE led effort highlighting
(01:55):
President Trump's top priority to put the people first and
the go government bureaucrats last. That is what the White
House spokesman said over the weekend. The website's main page
will direct users to a form where you can report
deregulatory suggestions, which provides users with more than a dozen
(02:16):
prompts regarding their issue. The prompts include describing which federal
agency has promoted a regulation at issue, if the regulation
is finalized or in the midst of the rulemaking process,
and justification for the deregulation, the history of how the
regulation operates, and the title and name of the agency's leader,
(02:38):
as well as other detailed information on the regulation. The
form prompts users also to provide their name, but the
box is not mandatory to complete before submission, meaning that
if you're, in essence, a whistleblower. They'll happily take your suggestion.
The person who submits a deregulatory suggestion could see the
Trump administration name the recession of the rule after the individual.
(03:03):
So if you would love to have your name official, well,
the Trump administration, if they take your advice, is going
to give you credit for it. Quote only answer, if
you would like the recession to be named after you
or your organization, Providing your name does not guarantee that
it will appear on any final agency action. And we
reserve the right to refrain from using names that are
(03:25):
inappropriate or offensive. This again going back to what Donald
Trump said, I'm putting Americans first and the bureaucrats last
in my administration, and it's another win for the American people.
I want to take a moment and talk to you
real quick about Israel. Israel is still under attack and
missile fire has resumed from the Huthis, from Hesblam and
(03:47):
Hama's enemies seeking Israel's destruction. Here in America, we cannot
imagine living under this constant threat of terrorism and rocket attacks.
This is the reality in Israel. Parents taking their children
to school, falling to the ground on top of their
small children, trying to comfort them as sirens blair. The
next attack against Israel is happening now with a little
time to prepare, so we must act now to help.
(04:09):
That's why I'm partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews to help provide life saving aid and security essentials.
You urgently need. A gift today will help provide security
essentials like bomb shelters, flat jackets, and bulletproof vests for
first responders, as well as armored security vehicles, armored ambulances
and so much more. So join me in standing with
(04:32):
Israel to make your gift. Call eight at eight four
eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight
four three two five are online, it's support IFCJ dot
org to give. That's one word support, IFCJ dot org. Now,
this also goes back to what Elon Musk has said.
(04:52):
And by the way, if you miss what Elon Musk
had to say to myself and Senator Cruz, go back
and listen to that podcast. It was a two part
series about what Doe is doing, and it was truly
incredible to hear exactly what Elon Musk has uncovered and
Elon Musk has railed against government regulation since the very beginning.
It was actually before the administration took office, when he
(05:15):
was helping Donald Trump win the White House. When he
joined President Trump's campaign in battleground Straits, he said, we
have a government that is not working for the people.
In a Pennsylvania rally ahead of the election, Musk recounted
how his company SpaceX was wrapped up in quote a
bunch of nutty stories related to government over regulation, including
(05:36):
studying the probability of the company's starship rocket hitting a
whale or shark, and facing lofty fines from the EPA
for dumping freshwater on the ground quote unquote. I'll tell you,
like a crazy thing, like we got fined one hundred
and forty thousand by the EPA for dumping freshwater on
(05:56):
the ground, drinking water. It's crazy. I'll just give you
an example of just how crazy it is. And we're like, well,
we're using water to cool the launch pad during launch.
You know, we're going to cool the launch pad so
it doesn't overheat, and an excess of caution, we actually
brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water must
(06:18):
said to the audience of the time in Pennsylvania last year,
and the FAA said, no, you have to pay a
one hundred and forty thousand dollars fine. And we're like,
but Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area, skywater falls
all the time, must recounter referring to SpaceX headquarters in Texas.
(06:39):
Quote that is the same as the water we use.
So it's like, well, there's no harm to anything. And
they said, yeah, but we didn't have a permit. We're like,
you need a permit for fresh water must set at
the time. And these are the types of stories that
thou Musk and the President are looking from you, the
mere can people. You have to remember that Trump went
(07:02):
on a deregulation blitz targeting energy and climate regulations last
week in a series of executive orders aim to unleash
the power of coal energy in the US, including ending
a pause to coal leasing on federal lands, promoting coal
and coal technology exports, and encouraging the use of coal
(07:23):
to power artificial intelligence activities. Quote. President Trump knows that
the bureaucracy is built to regulate, not deregulate. The results
are an ever increasing number of regulations that stifle innovation
and limit American freedom. That is what the White House
(07:43):
said this week. At the end of the day, what
it's very clear is happening is the President saying, look,
we know there's so many things that are happening that
we may not know about because of so many government
regulations that we are asking you to help. We're giving
you a website that you can go to and you
can be the whistleblower to tell us what we can
(08:05):
do to help you. Never before in our government's history
have we had a place for men and women just
like you and I to go and then tell about
how a regulation is hurting you your business or a
industry that you're involved in. You've also never had a
president encourage the American people to stand up to its
(08:29):
own government and advocate for you, telling exactly what's happening
wherever you are now. Democrats are already criticizing the website,
calling it a ridiculous notion that the American people would
be able to understand what's actually happening and they won't
understand how important the regulations actually are. Well, let me
(08:53):
say this to the Democrats. The American people know good
and well what good businesses look like and what regulation
are doing to destroy their businesses, especially small businesses. And
as Elon must put it, it's time for the American
people to have a government that listens to them, that
works for them, that advocates for them, and that makes
(09:13):
it easier for them to succeed than to fail in business.
A major victory this week for the Trump administration who
said they were going to hold student protesters accountable if
they were standing up for terrorists, especially if they are
here from another country. Now, you may remember that the
Senate Democrats came out and said we stand with the
(09:35):
pro terrorists pro hamas Columbia graduate, a guy by the
name of Makmud Khalil. Why do they do it because, well,
the Democratic Party has no problem standing with people that
are advocating and supporting for the destruction of Israel and
those that advocate for actual terrorist organizations. This is not all.
We also found out that the Senate Judiciary Democrats went
(09:58):
all in in supporting him as a political decision. This
is the latest of six separate posts that they put
out on social media promoting his cause, declaring free Muhammad Khalil.
Well he was arrested, he was a leader of last
spring's pro Hamas protests, and just last week he participated
(10:19):
in the Barnard protests in which activists were handing out
Hamas propaganda booklets justifying the October seventh attacks. This again
was during the week when Democrats supported him. Now, it's
fair to debate where the line is between free speech
and due process, and there's no doubt that that is
an important conversation half But let's be clear, Democrats have
(10:44):
no problem looking the other way when it comes to
immigration laws, and they look the other way when it
comes to protecting Jewish students on campus as well, which
brings us to the victory that all of us should
be excited about. An immigration judge has now ruled that
Mood Khalil can be deported from the US due to
(11:05):
his involvement in leading last year's pro Palace Indian protests
at Columbia University. The judge coming out and this news
breaking on Fox where Democrats lost their minds yet again.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
So decision that we have been waiting for. A judge
has just ruled that the Trump administration's effort to deport
Mahmoud Khalil can move forward. Correspondent Brook Taylor live right
near that courthouse in Jeana, Louisiana. Tell us what the
judge is saying in there?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
we're down the street from the Ice Detention Center. The
courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Mahmoud
(11:58):
Khalil removed. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
was able to meet that burden and again they have
decided that Macmood Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
(12:23):
of course's attorneys are going to fight this, but how
long that process is going to take right now for
him to be deported.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
We'll send it back.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You hear that report. Democrats are angry because they wanted
to make sure that they could have as many of
these activists that have come into the United States of
America stand up for Terris and advocate for death and
destruction of the Jews all over the world. This judge
ruling on Friday that this thirty year old again can
be deported, saying the US government medits burden of proof
(12:52):
to remove him. Quote. I would like to quote what
you said last time, that there's nothing that's more important
to this court than due process rights and fundamental fairness.
That is what macmood told the court, saying, quote clearly
what we witnessed today, neither of these principles were presented
today or in the whole process.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me
to this court one thousand miles away from my family.
I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit
for me are afforded to the hundreds of others who
have been here without hearings for months now. His attorneys
again have until April the twenty third to file relief applications.
(13:37):
During the hearing, the Department of Homeland Security attorneys also
spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself on his green
card application, lying to get into the US the Department
of Homeland Security. Attorneys said that the man was not
upfront about some of the organizations that he was involved with. Macmod,
they said, willfully failed to disclose his employment with a
(14:01):
Syrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he
applied for permanent US residency. Federal officials alleged that Mackmoud
was inadmissible at the time of his adjustment because of
fraud or willful misrepresentation of material facts in his status application.
In other words, the sky's a pathological liar to get
(14:23):
into the US is what they're accusing him of. The
agency also accused him of failing to disclose his work
for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, specifically for
Palestine refugees, and membership in Columbia University's apartheid divest Now,
this is another example of the Trump administration saying we're
(14:43):
willing to dig, we're willing to look, and we're willing
to make sure that people that come to this country
are not wishing harm on anyone and aren't advocating for
terrorist organizations. This ruling, no doubt will have major precedent
in allowing the administration to con tendue to go after
those that were violent or advocating for violence on college
(15:05):
campuses coast to coast. Let me tell you about Patriot
Mobile real quick. If you've got a cell phone and
your cell phone is not with Patriot Mobile, then the
question I got to ask you is why why have
you not made the switch? Well, you should make the switch,
and the deal is really easy. You get cutting edge technology.
(15:26):
Switching has never been easier. There's no store visits, no hassles.
You get to keep your same phone number you have
right now. You get to keep your same phone you've
got now or upgrade to a new one, and they
have a one hundred percent US based team that can
activate you literally in minutes. The other thing that I
love about Patriot Mobile is this they have access to
all three major networks, meaning you get exceptional nationwide coverage.
(15:50):
I use Patriot Mobile and half for years. They can
even put a second number on a different network on
your phone. It's like carrying two phone in one. You
can have a work number and a personal number. It's amazing.
They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet
on the go devices, and home internet backup as well.
(16:13):
You can get all of this from Patriot Mobile, So
why are you waiting? Make the switch today. And by
the way, when you pay your bill, you know that
about five percent of that bill every month is going
back to support conservative causes. Causes that stand for our
First and or Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children,
and they stand with our veterans, our first responders, our
(16:36):
police and firemen, are EMTs and are wounded warriors. So
make a difference with every call you make. So right now,
go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
(16:56):
every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash for
ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot. Now, let
me also be clear about something else, because if you
think Democrats are going to lie down on this one
of the radicals are going to stop, they're not. Because
following the ruling, mcmood's immigration attorney called the decision quote
unjust as it is alarming, saying, quote, this is a
(17:19):
blatant violation of the First Amendment and a dangerous present
for anyone who believes in free speech and political expression.
Mac mood is currently in prison in Louisiana, a state
that detains over seven thousand people daily and serves as
the second largest hub for immigration attention in the US.
Louisiana's nine detention centers, eight of which are privately operated,
(17:43):
as attorney said, include the only ice facility in the
country directly connected to an airport, thus streamlining mass deportations
across the state. The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy
Noam also weighed in on the ruling, saying that the
Columbia University graduate quote hates America, saying this, it is
a privilege to be granted visa or a green card
(18:06):
to live and study in the United States of America.
When you advocate for violence, glorifying and supporting terrorists, and
relish the killing of Americans and harassed Jews, that privilege
should be revoked and you should not be in this country,
she said, and then she added good riddance now. On Tuesday,
(18:28):
his attorneys also ordered the federal government to quote provide
evidence by Wednesday justifying their attempt to deport Mike Mood.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, responded on behalf of
the government and roughly a one and a half page
letter sent to the court on Wednesday. He cited a
provision in the Immigration Nationality Act of nineteen fifty two
(18:52):
to justify the removal from the US. The provision allows
the Secretary of State to deport non citizens if the
Secretary determined their presence in the US quote would have
serious adverse foreign policy consequences. Rubio accused the man of
participating in anti Semitic protests and disruptive activities, which fosters
(19:13):
a hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.
He said anti Semitic conduct and disruptive protests the United
States would severely undermine the significant foreign policy objective Rubio
stated in his letter. The attorneys for the individual have
argued that the government's attention of the Columbia University graduate
(19:34):
is extraordinary and unprecedented, and that the Immigration and Nationality
Act of nineteen fifty two scope is quote breath taking translation.
They can't stand the fact that we have a leader
in this country and people under him who are willing
to put Americans first and not allow for people to
come into this country as a privileged individual to go
(19:58):
and study at our universities, who are there actually attacking
and trying to radicalize those around them. Quick break, Ben
Ferguson Show, much more coming up. I want to give
you a very important update on what's going on with
tariff negotiations. This is a story that the media is
not going to want to tell you about because of
(20:19):
the number that I'm about to disclose to you. You
may remember the other day there was reports out that
there were fifty countries that had lined up to negotiate
their tariffs to the Trump administration. Then that number went
to seventy, and that is when the media started getting
quiet on the story. We now have a new number,
(20:41):
and the Trump administration has told us that they are
now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries on tariffs. Now,
I want you to hear this back and forth with
liberal Jake Tapper over at CNN on Say the Union
talking with the n Asroeconomic Council Director Kevin Hassett. And
here is what Jake Chapper tried to say when he
(21:03):
was baiting him into a false narrative. Take a listen
what do.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You say to small business owners or even big business
owners who say they're having difficulty making long term business
decisions because the country seems right now to be run
by capricious whim.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh, i'd think at all, it's run by Capriciu's whim.
The way that I would think about it is that
in the previous administration, you can sort of say, if
you're thinking about it in the football analogy is that
they were running out the clock. And what's going on
now and the Trump administration is across a wide array
of policy areas. We're in a two minute offense, and
the two minute offense is pushing, as you've seen, the
(21:39):
reconciliation build through so that we get tax relief for
America people, deregulation, and of course trade policy. Now, in
the trade policy, the whole point of the trade policy
is to address the national emergency that we're too dependent
on foreign products in the US, especially if we were
at a time of conflict, and we're doing something about that.
(22:00):
And the Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if you come
to the table and negotiate us with us and treat
us the same way we treat you, then we'll you'll
get your rate really low. And so right now one
hundred and thirty countries, one hundred and thirty countries have
responded and we're negotiating with them, and they've got their
rate down to ten percent. And so really it's kind
(22:20):
of almost a two world system. There's a process about
China and that's very very nascent, if at all, and
then the process for everybody else. So the process for
everybody else is orderly. It's clear people are coming to
town with great, great offers. We've got Japan, Korea, India.
I was just talking to the Foreign Minister of India
(22:42):
and everything is moving forward very quickly. And so I
guess the bottom line is that the small business owner
has experienced over the last few weeks the start of
a process that's settling down really quite quickly. Gave one
hundred and thirty countries are at ten percent now.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So if you want to know if the administration is
working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes.
And are there people that are coming to the table,
The answer is yes. And are there a few?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Are there some?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Are there a lot? Man, Maybe you could go even
beyond that, as I quote the administration, So right now
there are one hundred and thirty countries. One hundred and
thirty countries have responded and we're negotiating with them and
they've got their rate down to ten percent. So really
it's almost a two world system. There's a process. They
(23:29):
said about countries that are not willing to come to
the table, places like China, and those are going to
be tough, but everyone else they seem to be wanting
the best deal they can get with the American government,
and that means it's an amazing deal for the American people.
So don't buy into the fear mongering. Look at the
actual results, and it's clear that there's one hundred and
(23:52):
thirty countries that are dying to get a deal done
with a Trump administration who is putting American workers and
business first instead of last. Now that's not the only
piece of good news. The President is also listening to
his advisors, and now we know that there is going
to be some exemptions on some important products that do
affect Americans. Right now, smartphones, computers, and electronic devices are
(24:18):
being exempt from the Trump administration's tariffs on China. The
administration announcing that various electronic devices such as smartphones and
computers will have the exemption from the tariffs that have
been imposed on China. In a bulletin that was posted
late Friday night by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency,
(24:39):
it was revealed that certain products quote would be exempted
from the tariffs. The tariff exemptions on certain products apply
retroactively to April to fifth. According to Axios, the products
would be exempt from recent applied tariffs, while other pre
April second tariffs would still apply. The White House press
(24:59):
singer tar Carolina Levin explained in a statement, the President
Donald Trump has made it clear that the United States
cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies semiconductors, chips, smartphones,
and laptops, saying President Trump has made it clear America
cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies such as
(25:22):
those semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops, and that's why the
President has secured trillions of dollars in US investments from
the largest tech companies in the world, including Apple, TSMC,
and NA Video. CNBC also reported that the guidance for
the USCBP includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components,
(25:47):
including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV display, flash drives,
and memory cards. The White House Deputy Press Secretary explained
that quote companies are hustling to will on shore. They're
manufacturing the United States as soon as possible. The outlet
explained that the top twenty product categories listed in the
(26:09):
CBP guidelines are apparently exempt from the one hundred and
twenty five percent tariffs that Trump is imposed on Chinese imports.
The twenty product categories listed in the CBP guidelines are
apparently exempt from the one to twenty five tariffs and
the ten percent baseline tariff on imports from other countries.
(26:29):
A twenty percent tariff on all Chinese goods remains in
effect quote unquote and a presidential memorandum. Trump explained in
the Executive Order fourteen two fifty seven that regulations imports
with a reciprocal tariff to rectified trade practices that contribute
to large and persistent annual United States good trade deficits.
(26:52):
I declare national emergency arising from conditions reflected in large
and persistent annual US goods trade deficit sits and imposed
additional ad bellorum duties as I deem necessary and appropriate
to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat, which has
its source and whole our substantial part outside of the US.
(27:16):
The national security and economic of the United States of
America is what is stated in this executive order. Now
here's what we know, the presence being clear that he's
not going to allow China to get away with much
of what they've been doing, but there are certain things
that America does need in the near term as we
start manufacturing in this country. This is also another example
(27:39):
of the President listening to those around him and listening
to the American people and industry that are saying, we
love that you're fighting for us, but there may be
some certain things will need some help on in the
short term. And this is proof that the President is
obviously putting Americans first. Yet again, We're going to cover
it all every day for you. Make sure you hit
