Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Tom Homan up there, I think is just a stroke of genius. I think Tom is exactly the right person. Why? Because he is also a career law enforcement. He's an operator. He knows exactly what needs to be done there. And where is the give and take? ICE is there to arrest criminal illegal aliens, and it's much better to do that with local law enforcement.
So if Tom Homan can get local law enforcement involved in assisting ICE, however that looks, whether that's protecting them while they do the mission, whatever it might be, I think that's a win.
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. Donald Trump acts and takes a phone call from the governor of Minnesota, Governor Walz. And Trump says he wants Minnesota resistance and chaos to end today. He also said that he's hoping now there will be some sort of cooperation with the governor and federal law enforcement. So what is driving all of this?
We'll explain it to you. It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now. Story number one. It is an all-out civil war. That's what the Democrats said they wanted in Minnesota. But now Tim Walz has called President Donald Trump, and here's what we've been told about that conversation. Donald Trump putting up on True Social.
The governor, Tim Walz, called me with a request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we actually seem to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Holman call him, and that what we're looking for are any and all criminals that they have in their possession.
This is exactly, by the way, what hundreds of other cities do when they catch a criminal that's an illegal immigrant. And then they work with federal authorities, ICE, to make sure that they are taken into custody. That's not what they do in sanctuary cities or states like Minnesota. Back to the president's own words. The governor very respectfully understood that.
And I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota. And so am I. We have such tremendous success in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place we have touched. And even in Minnesota, crime is way down. But both Governor Walz and I want to make it better. Signed, President Donald J. Trump.

Chapter 2: What did President Trump discuss with Governor Walz?
Separately, a major investigation is going on with respect to the massive $20 billion plus welfare fraud that has taken place in Minnesota. and is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets. Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at Congresswoman Ilham Omar, who left Somalia with nothing and is now reportedly worth more than $44 million.
Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Now, you put that together with the White House press secretary, as she laid it out today from the podium at the White House, exactly what the plan is and what the president's had to say about moving forward and keeping all Americans safe.
The president wants law and order, not anarchy and chaos, which is what Governor Walz and Mayor Fry have given us. Take a listen.
It is President Trump's hope and wish and demand for the resistance and chaos to end today. That's why President Trump spoke with Governor Walz directly this morning, and he has outlined a clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota.
Number one, Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation.
Number two, state and local law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police. And then thirdly, local police must assist federal law enforcement in apprehending and detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes, especially violent crimes.
If Governor Walz and Mayor Frey implement these common sense cooperative measures that I will add have already been implemented in nearly every single other state across the country, Customs and Border Patrol will not be needed to support ICE on the ground in Minnesota.
ICE and local law enforcement can peacefully work together as they are effectively doing in so many other states and jurisdictions. Additionally, President Trump is calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all.
American cities should be safe sanctuaries for law-abiding citizens only, not for dangerous illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's laws and do not belong here. We hope Governor Walz will do the right thing and continue to work with President Trump to keep the American people safe following their call this morning.
