Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. today after vacationing and golfing once again at his resort in Mar a Lago. Donald Trump awarded himself the golf championship of his own golf tournament this past week and then had state regime media known as Fox blast the following headline. Trump wins golf Championship. A day after ordering strikes on terrorists, Donald Trump and went on Air Force One to go Back to Washington, D.C. here's what Donald Trump said on removing migrants from the United States using the Alien Enemies act and not giving people due process and then sending these individuals who he's claiming are gang members. But these people do not have the process to deny such allegations. And Donald Trump says, well, I am doing it because we are now in a state of war and in many cases what's going on is worse than war. Here's what Donald Trump said on Air Force One. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
People from mental institutions. That's an invasion. They invaded our country. So this isn't in that sense, this is war. In many respects, it's more dangerous than war because, you know, in war they have uniforms. You know who you're shooting at, you know who you're going after. These are people that came out. They're walking our streets.
Ben Mysellis
Donald Trump was asked on Air Force One if he's going to comply with the order by federal judges requiring the regime to rehire the federal workers they unlawfully terminated, many of whom are veterans. Errands. Here's what Donald Trump says. Let's play it.
Donald Trump
Do you plan to comply with the.
Ben Mysellis
Judge'S order regarding rehiring the federal workers, which.
Donald Trump
What are you talking about? A Clinton appointee judge that ruled that.
Ben Mysellis
The federal government has to rehire the fired federal workers. Do you plan to comply?
Donald Trump
Well, I Think it's, I think it's absolutely, I have nothing to do with that other than I heard about the decision. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely.
Ben Mysellis
So I guess that's a no. Earlier this morning as well, Donald Trump went further to trying to provoke military conflict with Iran. Donald Trump made the following post, let nobody be fooled. The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthis, the sinister mobster and thugs based in Yemen who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from and are created by Iran. Any further attack or retaliation by the Houthis will be met with great force and there is no guarantee that the force will stop there. Iran has played the, quote, innocent victim of rogue terrorists from which they've lost control. But they haven't lost control. They're dictating every move, giving the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated military equipment and even so called intelligence. Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon from this point forward as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of Iran. And Iran will be held responsible and suffer the consequences. And those consequences will be dire. And this is how Donald Trump, I guess, conducts international affairs. He just makes social media posts attacking foreign countries via social media posts. And then he says, look, we're going to go after you, we're going to do this, all hell is going to break loose. And then most frequently, Donald Trump then doesn't do anything. And they're generally kind of looked, they look upon him as kind of like a clown. Next up, you have Tom Homan, Donald Trump's border czar. Here he is talking about how do you determine whether someone's like a gang member. So when Donald Trump takes the, these migrants and says they're gang members, he sends them to El Salvador, he doesn't give them due process, then what does? You know, what criteria do you use? Here's what the borders are says. Tell me if you find this convincing. Let's play it what we did.
Tom Homan
We removed terrorists. That should be a celebration. We removed terrorists from this country. I stand by what the President did. I support 100%. How do you determine whether somebody is a gang member? What criteria do you use to various investigations? You know, a lot of that, a lot of the ways we do it. Law enforcement Center. I'm not going to share all that with you, but you know, whether through social media, through the activities, through their criminal records here and abroad. So, you know, this is, this has done a very, the review of this issue was at the highest level I've seen. And I think, again, I stand by everything we did this weekend. And I think the president keeping his promise to the American people. We, we removed terrorists from the country this weekend. I can't believe any media would question the president's ability to remove terrorists from this country.
Ben Mysellis
Then you have Tom Homan say, you know, we're, look, the bottom line is I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're going to basically do whatever we want. Play this clip.
Tom Homan
We made a promise to the American people. The President Trump has made a promise to American people. We're going to make this country safe again. I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life. And we're going to make this country safe again. I'm proud to be a part of this administration. We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming.
Ben Mysellis
Yeah, I just love seeing you going through these protesters just crunching on the apple as their liberal tears just, just flood the hallway. Tom Holman, thanks so much for joining the program.

And just so you see what they're doing. And I've made my point clear before. I think that gang members need to have the book thrown at them. I think that we need to make sure that gang members go off the streets. I support law enforcement. I want to make sure that if you are a gang member, if you are committing crimes, regardless if you're a gang member, I'm a law and order person. I also believe in our Constitution. I also believe in due process. I don't believe that Donald Trump is just going to say, you, you, you, you're gang members. I hereby declare you gang members. And Donald Trump's going to be telling the truth. I just want you to, I don't want you to see the treatment of these people that Donald Trump under the Alien Enemies War Powers act, deported over this past weekend and sent them to El Salvador, to El Salvador concentration camps. Here's Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist and press secretary. She goes, the American people voted for this. And you can see over here the, you know, this video that she's posting. This is from the official White House account. It's a three minute video. Frankly, it's horrific. I'm only going to show about 30 seconds of it. But here, watch for yourself. Also, as Donald Trump was landing into Washington, D.C. from Air Force One, he talked about how he calls April 2nd Liberation Day. And he says it's Liberation Day because then he's going to impose more tariffs on foreign countries. So thus he says it is a liberation day for the United States of America. We're seeing headlines like this, CEOs say they're losing faith in Trump, I don't trust what he's saying. What he says today is going to be what he says tomorrow. Just take a look at the S and P for the first 100 days in office and compare Obama, Biden, even the first Trump regime to what he's doing right now. And here, Trump on his unconstitutional assertion that Biden's pardons are null and void. Donald Trump is claiming that all of President Biden's pardons were done by an auto pen and therefore they're null and void. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. He also says here in this Post that the January Six committee destroyed all of their records, which is 100% false. You can go and find the archives right now from the committee. They're posted online, they're posted publicly. So. So check that out if you don't believe me. And this is what Trump's been saying when he said, I'm hereby declaring all of Biden's pardons void. Here, play this clip. Are those executive orders, those pardons from.
Donald Trump
The former president now no longer? Well, I think so. It's not my decision that'll be up to a court. But I would say that they're not because I'm sure Biden didn't have any idea that it was taking place. And somebody was using an OTO pen to sign off and to give pardons to, as an example, just one example. But the J6unselect committee, they, they gave, think of it, they gave pardons with another pen. I don't think Biden knew anything about it. And what they did is they deleted and destroyed all of the information that took them over.

We had Charlie Angus on earlier this morning, a Canadian Member of Parliament. Here's what Charlie had to say about all of the attacks emanating from the Trump regime against Canada. Let me play this for you right here.
Charlie Angus
Well, we saw two really important indicators last week. Was it Mr. Lutnick, the Baghdad Bob of trade negotiations for the United States, who said that Canada wasn't showing that we were grateful? Are you kidding me? You've threatened our nation and you said we're not being grateful. And then he said we're acting like Ukraine. Well, in Canada right now, we're thinking we'll be Ukraine any day if Donald Trump's a two bit Putin. So that was the first message. And then Peter Navarro came out and said, hey, Canada, settle down. Stop talking about taking the gloves off and hitting us. We think that cooler heads are going to prevail. Great. You don't want us to hit you, then stop this idiocy. Because if you're freaked out now, Pete, wait till you see when we actually not only drop the gloves, but and people in Canada have said to me, charlie, you left out the other part. It's the bench clearing brawl moment where we all go over the board. So, Pete, I feel bad that you're feeling a little upset now. I get that you're getting kind of freaked out that Canada is getting angry. We will put our gloves back on, but you tone it down dramatically or we're going over the boards, we're dropping the gloves, we're going to pull a jersey over your head and we are going to do the classic Canadian bench clearing brawl, which at the end of there's going to be a lot of people hurt, but we will still be standing well.
