Political Commentator / Ryan Reynolds (Mint Mobile Ad)
no I like Bill. I thought he's a great senator. But he made a political decision. He tried to. He voted to impeach President Trump, which would have ruined his political life. He could never run for office again. Massey's in on the ballot Tuesday. He votes against Trump all the time. What's the headline? Trump Strong. Those who try to destroy Trump politically stand in the way of his agenda are going to lose.

You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

Ben Ferguson
Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got two major stories for you. First up, Kamala Harris declaring war on the foundations of this country. She wants to go after the Supreme Court, our Constitution, and even the Bill of Rights. And she says you'll just elect Democrats. They're going to change this whole country fundamentally. Also, you may be shocked to find out that in a county very close to Washington, D.C. more than 50% of all the murders this year have been done at the hands of illegal immigrants. How did we even get to that point? We'll break it down for you, but first, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. America is entering the 250th year and the direction of this country is being decided right now in our culture and our economy. And who we choose to support matters more than ever. Most wireless companies don't care who you are or what you believe. They just want your money. Patriot Mobile, they're different. For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending, funding the Christian conservative movement. When others stay silent, that's what they do. So here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three major U.S. networks. So you'll get the same or better coverage than you have today. Think switching is a hassle? It isn't anymore. In 2026, you keep your number, keep your phone or Upgrade and their 100% US based support team can activate you in minutes. Still paying off a device, Patriot Mobile even offers a contract buyout. This is a defining year. We must work together to save our country. So go to patriotmobile.com ben47 or call 972-patriot and if you use the promo code BEN47, you'll get a free month of service. That's patriotmobile.com BEN47 or 972 Patriot and switch. Today, it's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Democrats, if you listen carefully, will always tell you exactly what their plan is. Now, in the olden days, Barack Obama didn't actually tell you he was a socialist. He just said that we wanted hope and change and he would dress it up in a different way. Bill Clinton, for example, didn't tell you that he wanted there to be massive expansion of government. Instead, he said that we need to make government smaller, but also take care of the poor. Translation? A massive increase in the number of people on food stamps and government aid. But in 2026, the Democratic Party is no longer holding back how much disdain they have for the government of the United States of America, which, oddly enough, they are a part of. They don't like that the government has checks and balances. They don't like that the government has different branches in it that they cannot control. That actually keeps other individuals in our government in check. In other words, they don't like it when they're told no. And so when they are told no, they now are saying what they really believe out loud, that when they don't get their way, they want to destroy and completely alter and change the United States of America's government. That would also mean that you would get rid of our Constitution, you would get rid of our Bill of Rights, you would get rid of anything that actually stands in their way of power. Now, Kamala Harris is dressing it up, saying it a little bit differently, saying that we need to have big and bold conversations and have these strategy thinking sessions. But I want you to listen to what she actually said. Now this was put out online and I want you to listen to Kamala Harris talk about destroying our government, all because Donald Trump and other conservatives have been elected and they don't like it.

Say, look, this is a moment where there are no bad ideas. A no bad idea brainstorm is what I'd like to call it. And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi member districts. We talk about, look, that if we win the Senate, which we should, and we will, then the Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in place. So when these people come before as nominees to the Supreme Court and lie that they are held to account and consequence. Not just that somebody goes on cable news and says they lie, but that there are rules in place to actually penalize people for lying to a Senate Judiciary Committee.
- [08:10]
Ben Ferguson
Now, let's just pause there. Let's go through the list of people that we know have lied to Congress, guy by the name of Anthony Fauci, former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, the list, James Clapper, the list goes on and on of individuals that have lied before Congress. Now, they have not been held accountable for their lies, whether it's dealing with COVID whether it's Mayorkas lying to Congress, saying the border is secure when he knew that there were millions of people coming across the border illegally. The number of people that Kamala Harris in her party that have lied to Congress, the Steele dossier, Russian collusion, the impeachment of Donald Trump, 1 and 2. Adam Schiff is a great example. These are all individuals that have gone before Congress and that have lied before that. She says we need to be held accountable. But to be clear, she's not saying they need to be held accountable. She's saying we want to accuse any Republican that disagree with it comes before Congress of lying to Congress and then we can silence them. There was also something else she said that was very interesting. She said we need to talk about the Electoral College. Translation, get rid of it. Why? Because she wants the presidency to be picked by California, by la, by New York, by Chicago. She doesn't want states like North Dakota, South Dakota, or many of the southern states like Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina to have power. She certainly doesn't want states like Iowa, New Hampshire to have any power. And who the President of the United States of America actually is. She wants to change it all so that liberal cities will control who the President is. Every presidential election cycle. She wants the presidency to become down to where, if you're a Democrat, you only really have to campaign in five or six cities, not even states, just five or six cities in America because the population is so dense there, you can just win election by getting the majority of those people to vote for you. She wants to have the majority of the country be fly over country, but she's not done there. And this is again, all because Donald Trump was elected president and she hates the majority of American voters in this last election. Keep listening to her radical ideas that

we agree that it is right to have ethics rules for Supreme Court justices, and let's put those in place. Let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. these are the things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states, expanding their maps. And all of this, I think, is, is, look, we gotta fight fire with fire. These folks are playing to win. We gotta play to win, too.
- [10:57]
Ben Ferguson
We've gotta fight fire with fire. We have to play to win. Now, these are the words of an individual who knows that President Trump has had multiple assassination attempts against him. She doesn't care. She wants to incite that type of anger and violence. But you also notice what she said about. She wants there to be two senators from Washington, D.C. and two centers from Puerto Rico, because she believes that easily and based on the makeup, Washington, D.C. would immediately elect two Democratic senators. And she believes that Puerto Rico, they could probably do a very good job there and get least maybe one, if not two of those centers to go for the Democrats as well. And she very well may be right. But you notice what she's talking about here. It's about stacking the deck. And by the way, you notice she mentioned in there she would like to redo how we do the Supreme Court. Why would she want to redo how we do the Supreme Court? It's a very simple answer. She wants to redo the Supreme Court every time they give her a ruling that she doesn't like, she wants to go after and attack those Supreme Court justices and maybe get them kicked off the court. And if that is not enough, then she wants to pack the court. And every time she needs to make it bigger, then they would just make it bigger. And every time that the Supreme Court needs to get even bigger to give them what they want, they just want it to get bigger again. So no longer would it be 9, it could be 15, it can be 21, then it can be 29, then it can be 35. Where would it stop? As long as they have power, that's all they really want, is more of the power. So this is the Democratic Party. They're saying it out loud. Believe them when they tell you this is what they believe. Believe them when they tell you that they want to destroy this country. Because Kamala Harris just laid out their entire game plan.

Now, story number two.
- [12:52]
Ben Ferguson
According to statements tied to the Department of Homeland Security, illegal aliens are responsible for roughly half. Miss it again. Roughly half of all the murders this year in Fairfax County, Virginia. Now, that is one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful counties in America. It's, in essence, a suburb of Washington, D.C. we're not talking about some struggling border town overwhelmed overnight by cartel violence. We're talking about Fairfax county and a fluent liberal county in Virginia that neighbors Washington, D.C. this is home to federal contractors, intelligence officials, lawyers, diplomats, tech executives, and some of the highest medium household incomes in all of the United States of America. This is the affluent Northern Virginia suburb. This is the backyard of our federal government itself. And now this country has become the center of a bigger problem for Democrats, and that is, how did they even get to this point? You've got a major growing national firestorm over illegal immigration, over violent crime, over sanctuary city and sanctuary policies, and whether political leaders are deliberately ignoring repeated warnings until innocent Americans end up dead. Now, the controversy exploded after the Department of Homeland Security officials told the truth. They highlighted murder cases involving illegal immigrants in Fairfax county during a heated house hearing this week. And that is when the new head of the Department of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, came out to tell the American people exactly what's going on. Roughly 50% of the murders in Fairfax, Virginia, the perps are illegal, shouldn't even be in the country to begin with. We have, you know, politicians that want to protect the criminals. President Trump is still protecting all of our neighborhoods. You listen to him saying that they're, they're protecting all neighborhoods. How is it even possible that you can have 50% of murders in Fairfax county, nowhere close to the border, happen and be killed? Americans be killed by illegal immigrants. Now, according to DHS link figures cited during the debate, not only is that one of the biggest problems, but they also say in some cases, officials reference it being even higher, as high as 75% of the murders in Fairfax county so far this year. Those numbers are being debated, of course, politically. Now, regardless of where you stand on this issue, the individual cases now drawing national attention are horrifying. One of the most shocking involved an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone who was accused of brutally murdering a 41 year old Stephanie Mentor at a Fairfax county bus stop earlier this year. The details should infuriate everyone. According to the reports, the girl had been, or the man, I should say the illegal immigrant had been arrested roughly 30 times before the murder. Let me say that again. 30 times. 30 encounters with the justice system, with law enforcement charges ranging from assault to wounding and other violent allegations. And yet, somehow that illegal immigrant remained on the streets because the sanctuary city policies in Virginia. Federal immigration authorities had reportedly logged detainers against him earlier in the year. Police repeatedly warned prosecutors that he was a major danger to society. And still, according to the reporting, he was not removed from the country and allowed back on the streets. Then came the deadly stabbing that shocked the community. And many Americans are asking the very simple question, how does someone get arrested 30 times and remain free in the United States of America? Even if you're not an illegal immigrant, that question is now at the center of this massive political and legal battle that's unfolding in Northern Virginia. Now. Fairfax county commonwealth attorney is a progressive prosecutor backed, you guessed it, by George Soros and the left wing criminal justice reform movements. He's now under federal investigation by the Department of Justice over allegations that his office may have been giving preferential treatment deliberately to illegal immigrant defendants. In other words, the system was going harder on American citizens and looking the other way when they caught an illegal in one case in particular, two illegal immigrant defendants accused in Fairfax county of murder, they received plea agreements that resulted only five years behind bars despite facing much steeper potential sentences. The Department of Homeland Security blasted the deal publicly, calling it an insane sweetheart plea deal. Now the language from DHS lit up conservatives on Capitol Hill, as it should have. Critics say these policies are creating exactly the kind of environment where repeat offenders believe there are no consequences even if arrested 30 times. So here we are. Roughly 50% of murders in Fairfax County, Virginia are by people that are illegal that shouldn't even be in this country in the first place. The Trump administration making it clear they're not backing down on this and expect more justice to come.
