The Ron Edwards American Experience-250414

Morally straight, politically incorrect, and just plain great. It's the Ron Edwards American Experience. Prepare for launching three two one and away we go see. C M see. See see see Ladies and gentlemen. It's the Ron Edwards American Experienced talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards. Good day, Hello, and how are you on Edwards? And you are listening to the Run Edwards American Experience. And it's great to be back. Hope you had a great weekend and we are celebrating Holy Week and yeah, all is good in the neighborhood, but the sun neighborhoods, I tell you they're not too good. But one thing that is great. We're going to have a great guest today, Todd Bensman, and he's going to be joining us. Tom Bensman is a National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, and he is specialty, it seems, is dealing with the border. He's written great books about the border issue, and Uncle Joe Biden as well, and he, like myself, like yours truly, has been very very concerned about the border issue because as it's plainly known. If a nation does not have a border, there is no nation. And folks like Marjorie Taylor Green have been very adamant as far as getting a border security short up, and Todd Bensman wrote a very nice article concerning that, and we're going to be talking about that very article today and some other things related to the border issue. But you know, they say that, you know, in the Midwest, they say Midwestern values, as if for some reason the Midwest was a bit holier than the rest of the country, or people were nicer or whatever, or had better working brains, whatever the case may be. But in recent years this has not been the case, especially in a state called Wisconsin. I just got a story where a teenager in the Badger state murdered his parents in a plot to gain money and independence that he needed to assassinate President Trump and overthrow the US government. Authority say that he purchased a drone and explosives intended to be used as a weapon of mass destruction. Investigators also found that his phone contained links to the Order of Nine Angels, a Satanic cult the FBI describes as promoting terrorism, violence, sexual abuse, and child pornography. Yeah, very interesting. But you know, and I one of my pet peeves concerning the United States as a whole, not just the Midwest, is that. And a lot of people don't like to to recognize this. They complain about horrible crimes. They could plain about the open borders. They complain about a lot of things that are not good, the poisoned food, the Kim trails, et cetera, et cetera, bringing so much harm to be the people right. But one thing they try to omit in the entire mix, morality. They don't like to talk about morality. And this goes way back to a little statement made by the founding fathers, and they talked about how if we were to remain a free nation, we had to be a moral nation. And it wasn't Ronald Reagan who famously stated that if we are not one nation under God, we will be one nation gone under. And all the people that are collectively working together to bring this nation under Now we have a great president. In my humble opinion, he's only the second greater or good president that we've had in my lifetime. Them was Ronald Reagan. And in between the two, it's been kind of shaky at best. But that's the state of affairs in our Republican. Now we are in a position and we're going to see which side is going to really win. And I'm not the only one who has a concern about things going on in our country on that bane. Another one is Rudy Giuliani, America's mayor. In a bombshell interview with Eric Bowling, former New York City mayor and Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani stunned conservatives by publicly expressing deep frustration with key decisions made under the Trump era Department of Justice and the FBI. And no, I have not spoken about this issue with America's mayor, but I too have shared these same concerns about Pambondi and about cash Ptel. They say the right things, they seem to be on the right track, but it seems that, you know, there's just been a little bit, a little bit light in the loafers when it comes to action. And I believe if it wasn't for President Trump, they would be even less active in turning things around. So now he Guliani's very concerned because he's been a stalwart ally of the MAGA movement, admitted that he's very upset though, with recent actions by officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI. It comes after FBI Director Cash Battel appointed Steven Jensen, and that ought to perk your ears up just a bit. And now he's been appointed to lead the coveted FBI Washington Field office. Why I don't understand. I don't understand now. According to The New York Times, Jensen played a key role in bonding to the attack on Capitol Hill on that faithful January sixth day. Now. Jensen was then tasked as the Section chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Now according to former FBI agent Kyle Sarafin, Seraphin, a whistleblower and member of a group of persecuted federal agent whistleblowers known as the Suspendables, said that the domestic terrorism group was a fixated was fixated. On January sixth, Jensen conducted two daily calls with law enforcement across the country regarding the protest, where he breathlessly exclaimed the country was under attack by j sixers, according to former FBI National Security Intelligence supervisor. In response to the New York Times report, the Gateway Pundit initially published an article citing high ranking FBI official who stated the story was supposedly fake news. However, further confirmation from multiple federal sources now verifies that Steven Jensen was in fact I've been appointed assistant director of the Washington Field Office, while the FBI has not made a formal public announcement at the time of this writing. According to the Gateway Pundit interesting interesting, and without even knowing these details, I had my own concerns about Cash, Bettel and Pambondi in their respective roles. Like I said, they always say the right things, and before they were appointed to these positions, they always said the right things every time I saw them publicly or whatever. But it is what it is. I pray that Trump will get a hold of the situation and straighten things out. Of all people that are nervous, Burn Sanders, you know, the dopey Delli man. He says that making Trump and Musk uh. He says that the supporters are making Trump and musk very nervous. We all should be nervous with the likes of Bernie Sanders around and his supporters. Yeah, we should be alert, nervous and ever vigilant for kicking people like him and others out of power and keeping them away from the levers of government. So it is what it is, and the beat goes on on this Laurn Edwards American Experience. What's the folks, stay tuned, be right back after these important messages.

This is Todd Bensman Center for Immigration Studies, and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Yes you are. I'm on Edwards and of course you are listening to the learn Edwards American experience. And thanks so much for tuning in from throughout America and around the world. Right now, let's welcome Todd Bensman. He's a Texas based Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, Washington, DC policy institute that examines the impact of immigration on American society. He provides information, research, and expertise to American policy leaders, major national and international media outlets, and the general public regarding the nexus between national security and immigration. And we welcome Todd Benson Bensman to the broadcast. Hello, mister benchman, how are. You, sir? I'm doing great. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Reappreciate you greatly. Yeah, I've enjoyed your work through the years, whether it's on the RAV Network, Real America's Voice and other networks as well that I've seen you through the years and read your columns as well. Great work. Thank you and love your work on the column I mean, I'm sorry, I love your columns regarding the border issue. And you know, mister Bensman, when it comes to the border, we know that if you don't have a border, you don't have a nation. Can you please tell me, through all of your research and the way you analyze things, what in your estimation prompts individuals, whether it's Uncle Joe Biden or whomever, to desire to flood our nation with illegal border crossers, to devastate a republic. Right. The short answer to that which is, I'm asked that all the time, for years, I've been asked that why would they want to do this? And the short answer, in my opinion, is a combination of ideology and profit motive. And by ideology, what I mean by that is that there is a substantial global contingent of people who are you would probably call themselves progressive liberals that are on the far left side of the political spectrum in Europe and here, that believe, in their heart of hearts that people anywhere have an absolute right to travel wherever they want, whenever they want, for whatever reason they want, and especially if there's an economic reason. And it's an ideology that borders are akin to slavery and that they're modern day abolitionists. You know that we should ignore they should have ignored the slavery laws back then, and we should ignore the immigration laws today. It's an ideology about that. And number two is a lot of the folks that believe this ideology happen to work in the industry that most benefits from a complete, completely unimpeded mass movement of people across borders. Right, The industrial advocacy industrial complex is what I call it. People that are work for NGOs, people that are going to work for NGOs, non governmental organizations that do refugee resettlement and migrant assistants and that sort of thing. There's a lot of them out there. They have budgets in the billions of dollars, and by having policies like this, they all of their boats lift. So they got in power, the idea logues who worked for NGOs when Biden came into office, and he handed them the keys to the kingdom and let them do whatever they wished. And what they wished was to open the borders up and then have their former and future employers reaped the billions and billions of dollars in profits from it. That's what I think happened. Cheepers, you know. And. It blows my mind how, for whatever reason, including the one you just explain, how these individuals would not have a problem with the mere destruction of these illegals that have been pouring into our country, the Americans. They've been murdering the Americans, they've been raping, the me American stores they've been robbing, and everything else you can imagine in between. It just boggles my little mind. And I want you to fill us in on marjor Retail Greens Bill, the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act, and the way you explained it in your in your article. I think it's something that's well needed or much needed. Could you explain it to our audience and why this thing needs to be adopted. Sure, well, there's a national security component related to unimpeded mass migration at the borders. It's of course that you know, first of all, murderers and rapists and criminals of every stripe just gets a waltz right into the country without anybody checking who they are. They just processed them all in. But also terrorists, people from Islamic countries where terrorist organizations operate. You know, think any place in the Middle East, all the stands in the former Russian republics, Soviet Union republics, right, Afghanistan, etc. If you are a foreign national from one of those countries and you cross our border, you get a special tag stamped on your forehead in a way attached to you called special interest alien. That's been since nine to eleven. We were worried back then that terrorists would try to cross the border and come into the country and do attacks. So they came up with the special interest alien tag to put it on any from one of those countries, so that our intelligence officers could interrogate them at the border, face to face, eyeball to eyeball, check their pocket trash, conduct investigations to figure out who they really are and what they're about. Special interest aliens, that's what they call them. That's been official nomenclature for twenty five years. We've been doing that at the border, that whole program at the border for all these years until the Biden administration. The Biden administration shut it all down. No more of that. Anybody who came from a special interest country waltz right into our country, imposed a terror threat. What Marjorie Taylor Green wants to do is, from this point forward, publicize monthly the number of special interest aliens who cross our southern border and where they're from, so that the public at least has some sort of an idea. And I mean lawmakers, policymakers, people in charge, not just the general public. Which ultimately is in charge, but the policy makers too, so that they can ask questions about how they're being handled this time. And her bill, which just cleared the Househomeland Security Committee and is alive and moving, would allow for the American public for the first time to actually be able to see who's coming across from those countries and demand some kind of an accountability about what the American government is doing. Now, this is not as important during the Trump administration, I'll point out, because because of course they're doing all of the right things, but it's for a future Democrat who might choose to throw it all out again. So by making it a congressional piece of legislation, it makes it very hard to not do the reporting now. In my piece in town Hall, I describe how it all works, and you can go find my piece at town Hall under Todd Bensman and read about how it all works in all my links. I've been writing about this for a long time. I've written an entire book about that threat. We did finally have a terror attack from somebody who crossed the border of Mauritanian, who special interest alien, who walt tried on up to Chicago and attacked the Jewish community with a handgun shot. One got a big gun battle with police. You never probably heard about this because it was very systematically suppressed in the media. But I've written at length about that case, and we don't want to have more of that sort of thing under a Democrat in the future. Think this goes a long way. There are some some additions and enhancements that I would make to m G. T. MTJ's I'm sorry Margaret Taylor Green's bill that I lay out on the piece as well. Yeah, and it's a good piece, folks. You guys should check it out. Mister Benson bensonan I. You know, I've been very irritated when it when it comes to the discussion about the border, how seemingly people just ignore the fact that we have well over a million legal immigrants and coming into this country every single year, and the last time I checked, you know, even that number is too large for a nation to, you know, to continue to prosper or to be great by flooding itself with even a million or more legal border crossers. And then when you slap on all those that were coming under Uncle Joe, I mean, that is a recipe for disaster. And i'd like you to address that. You know, hold on, I want you to address that when we get back from the other side of the break, and folks, you're listening to the run Edwards American experience. Our guest today is Todd Benzman, great writer who's been to the border many times, and he knows what he's talking about. So stay right there and we'll be right back. In nineteen forty one, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, only three point eight percent of babies born in the United States were born to unwet mothers. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Other Rich Notebook. During my formative years growing up in Cleveland, my dad spoke of the importance of fully intact families. In fact, he believed that the United States would only be as strong as her families. I long ago came to the conclusion that Dad's belief in the importance of strong families for the stability of our republic was spot on. Today, our one time envy of the world nation is suffering the impact of over forty percent of children being born into one parent homes where fathers are not present. If this trend is not reversed. Very soon, our days as a great, powerful nation will be over. The Sololensky inspired leftists, along with their foreign friends like the Chinese, are celebrating this troubling trend that could help render our beloved nation unable to sustain herself or defend herself from enemies, both foreign or domestic.

Anyway, folks, you're listening to The Run Edwards American Experience. Our guest today is Todd Benjaman, great writer, great communicator. You'll often see him on various TV networks, Real America's Voice, News Max, and elsewhere. He was born deep in the heart of Texas, Houston Man raised in Phoenix, Arizona, does a lot of great work, especially concerning our border. Welcome back, sir, And before the break, I was touching on how it seems that people seem to ignore the fact that we already have one point five million legal immigrants coming to our republic every single year. And if it were up to me, and I want to get your take on this, I would suspend all immigration into our country for at least five to seven years so that the legal immigrants that have been pouring into our country could become assimilated into our republic. Because these waves and waves and waves of even legal immigrants don't give the ones that are here time to become assimilated into our culture. And thus we have a problem even with the illegals, because there's so many. And what say you, well, I you know, I'm moving toward the idea that we have enough labor, and people. Are inclined and should resist this incarnation to say, well, ten twelve million people came over, but that's really good for us. That's chief labor, good for the economy. We should take advantage of that. But the reality is that the vast majority of those ten twelve million people that came over in the last four years are low skilled, low educated people whose labor is far less needed today than ever before in the history of our country, where we have evolved since the frontier days, you know, in the industrial Revolution, and you know, you hear people say, well, you know, we could use that labor. It's you know, there's a silver lining to this. But the second that you do that, you overlook the fact that the vast majority of them are on public welfare. They're a burden, not a benefit to the economy. Number one, and number two, there's a question of morality about whether, you know, modern society should should invest and lock in kind of a slave labor class of people who can be abused and often are abused by employers on scrupulous employers who take advantage of them and abuse them, underpay them or don't pay them, and that sort of thing. And that's sort of like, well, we could really use the labor is and the labor's great force is kind of the same argument that the cotton plantation owners made back before the Civil War. You know, this is really good. You know, we were all making money here. You know, on slavery, and that's kind of my feeling about that it's time to maybe concentrate on a more folks skilled labor pool, building up our skilled labor if any at all, making sure that the American working public in the labor force don't aren't already fully employed before we start handing off jobs to foreign nationals, especially anybody who enters illegally. Nobody who enters illegally should be allowed to legally work here. Exactly. And when it comes to the border, are they really back to building the wall now? I know, we get reports that they've started wall construction. Is that a reality? Yes, it is. They are, you know, putting material out and digging trenches and moving dirt and starting to build the wall already in certain areas. And that should only start to gain momentum as we go along. You know, it took quite a bit to jump start construction after the Biden administration dismantled the entire system that was in place to build that wall, and you know, trying to auction off all the material and that sort of thing so that there's no material to build the wall with. But there's still some of it out there, and they're going to be that stuff is going to be going up here. It's probably already going up as we speak. You know, one thing I didn't understand when they were constructing the wall during the first administration Trump administration, why they built it with these huge gaps. Instead of starting in one spot and building out from there, they build maybe I'm just throwing numbers out there, twenty miles and then you have a gap of a half mile or whatever, and then you build some more so automatically when Uncle Joe came in and stop everything, you had all these gaps. So it almost made the the wall non useful. It wasn't even useful. It could have been more useful had it been more continuous. Am I wrong here or you know. Well it was. There was a lot of certain things. You know, one to have right of way, and you had to have right away in the right areas, so you know, you don't want to be five miles inland. You want to be as close to the to the actual frontier as possible. And sometimes it just wasn't that way. You had to there was there were some legalities and you know, things had to happen in domain and whatever to be able to get access to where the to the areas where the wall needed to be built, and then in other cases there were place is that were really high traffic areas that they wanted to prioritize first. And so you know, had they had another four years, all of the gaps would have been filled up and all of those matters would have been it would have been handled, except that, you know, Biden came in and immediately halted all construction right where it was. So that's why it looked kind of like a shark's tooth, you know, row of sharks teeth from the air, with a bunch of big gaps and then a wall here and there for a few hundred yards and then a big gap. All that's going to fill in now over the next four years. Yeah, and I pray that they get it all filled in, because you never know. I don't think that we will have the pain of another Democrat president in twenty eight, but you never know. And because of that, I hope that you're right that all those gaps are filled in and we get as much as the wall of the wall built as possible, so that at least we'll have that barrier there slow them down at least for the most part. What about the important thing? Okay, yeah, go. Ahead, go ahead, No, go ahead and make your point. Yeah, well, I was going to say, the important thing is that there are policies behind the wall that make use of it. So you could have a wall, but if your policy is to let everybody who reaches that wall into the country, there's really no point to it other than that it's a great place, a great structure to lean up against while you're waiting for border patrol to come get you, or like it provides shade or something, you know, while you're waiting for them to come get you. But when the policy is to report, detain, and deport, then it slows them down enough for border patrol to get there and catch them. And that's that's the big difference. I mean, a wall without the right policies behind it does nothing at all, because remember the wall is inland a little bit. Usually it's already on us. If an immigrant gets up to the wall, they can claim asylum on that side of the wall, and then you know, with those policies of catch and release, they just get let right into the country. It doesn't didn't slow them down or stop anything. It's just something good to lean up against. See, yeah, what about our sovereignty when it comes to our national sovereignty, do you think that there could be some sort of legislation drawn up that it would make it illegal to undermine our sovereignty through illegal by allowing in too many or allowing in illegal border crossers. And there should be some kind of a penalty, because we know it is wrong to let people in this country illegally, and there should be something to the effect where you're you're you're undermining our sovereignty and a law directly tied to that, what say you? Yeah, Well, I mean, first of all, the constitution already requires the leader, the leaders of our country to faithfully execute the laws. But you know, we see over and over again where the leaders of our country and they did that, and during the Biden term with the Immigration and Nationality Act, paid no attention to the laws of the country. They had discretion two to you know, give it leeway. And you know, we see that with like the federal marijuana law. Right nobody pays any attention, Not even the Trump administration pays attention to the federal marijuana law. Everybody just universally ignores it and all these states have you know, pot growing industries, you know, all over the country. Right, So, you know, if Congress wanted to, maybe they could enact some sort of a piece of legislation that would allow Congress to intervene with an executive who's deciding not to follow to faithfully execute the law of the land. The Immigration Nationality Act doesn't require any comprehensive immigration reform of any sort. It's got everything is in there to close the border. It's required that you detain and deport illegal border crossers. It's not shall do it, it must do it. But you know, if you have an executive who says, yeah, you know, I think we're just gonna not do that anymore, then they just get away with it. That's what happened in the last four years, and just got away with it. Nobody There wasn't any kind of a thick that Congress could raise. They tried to impeach Alejandro Majorcus, but you know, they only had half the Congress, so it didn't go anywhere. It didn't work. So maybe something legislatively that would that would allow Congress to you know, withdraw you know, it's appropriations for something I don't know, I mean, those are things that ought to be under consideration right now to guard against a future Democrat coming in and saying, you know, I think we're just not gonna bother with these immigration laws.

Media is not the biggest, but your voices and actions are so don't give up. Ron Edwards the new voice of America. And we're back enjoying ourselves on this day this is the rounder words American experience. And boy, boy boy, I tell you Texas is enjoying itself and Arizona too. As America keeps winning. NA Video is pledging to invest five hundred billion to build AI chips and supercomputers in Texas. Good news as companies continue to pledge to build their facilities in this country, as they continue to come in because of the tariffs, and history is going to prove as long as Trump does not back off, history is going to prove him to be right. Because the big card that we have in our hands as Americans is that we are the largest consumernation on the planet. We consume much more than the giant populations of India and China combined, I believe, and it's huge, and so China is going to want to continue to prosper. India is going to want to continue to prosper, Vietnam, Japan, et cetera, South Korea and other nations as well. And as Trump continues to stand strong only for America, and this is the perfect time also for American companies to get off of their dufts and start building in this country. Because the majority of the announcements of new construction in the country has been from mostly foreign investors, and I'm just fit to be tied. Is to wonder why most American companies are not, you know, saying, hey, we're going to invest, we're going to grow, we're going to bring our jobs back, and yah YadA, YadA YadA. Some have, a few have, but for the most part, they haven't been the majority. I would say ninety percent of new announcements have been from foreign companies. And that's okay. But while the President is working to bring in these giant corporations, and nothing's wrong with that, but I think that in reinvigorating the US economy, we've got to make sure that we don't forget the mom and pop stores, the small businesses, the medium sized businesses that are locally owned. Because when you lump all the small and medium sized businesses together, they are still the largest employers in the country. Their percentage has dropped, especially during the past Biden administration because of horrible policies and actions, but they are still and they are the largest stabilizing force to maintain our middle class in this country. Because a busy, active, prosperous community, you middle class guarantees and maintains a more peaceful society, because if you have a society that's all based upon just giant corporations and everyone hoping, oh, I hope I get a job here or there, and those who want to participate in that, that's fine, But you still have to have your thousands and thousands of small businesses in each state. You've got to have that. And it's great when you go to small towns you have these quaint businesses and everything. There's nothing more special than that, especially at Christmas time, Thanksgiving and all of those, you know, during those times of the year. And so we hope that the not only the Trump administration, but local and state governments will take notes and make their cities and their towns more amenable to small businesses so that you don't have all these huge gaps. You can still drive around in even prosperous areas here in Michigan and see a lot of vacant stores. Why because of drastic policies of the local governments. High taxes up the whang wang and for what, the most high taxed communities are usually the ones that are more in debt than those that have lower taxes. Because what happens is that businesses either close up or move out or reduce their staff, and so you don't have as much of that great activity. And so if you because I look at a lot of videos in other countries, and if you go to you look at these other countries and you see their cities, and you see all these small businesses, cute little businesses and things of that nation and nature. Whether it's in Budapest, so whether it's in in whatever cities, and you see these small businesses that line the boulevards and the small quaint streets and all of that. Those are a huge stabilizing force. And guess what, but that's the stabilizing force of small businesses do not cost us anything other than what we decide to go in and purchase from their goods and services. And so that is one of the reasons why the left in these state and local governments continue to try to enact policies that hurt the small businesses while pretending to be for the for the little guy. Is because see what they're doing is while in one hand the exercise policies that destroy small businesses, well, at the same time, we're't for the little guy. Yeah, they're for the little guy that doesn't have anything. They're trying to create a general multi generations of serfs, of dependent serfs. That was that that that mission was in full motion under the Uncle Joe Biden administration and back under the Ali Obama administration as well. And so as we continue to you know, you know, say yeah, go Trump, Go Trump, we have to turn our attention because they say that all politics is local and we have to start acting like it. Folks. Well, Trump is doing what he has to do on a national level. We the people here on the local level and the state level really need to get to work unforcing because what's going to happen in some of the states that get it and understand that they have to clean house and make it their states and cities more amenable to small businesses. Those cities are going to prosper even more so than they are already. And those that are remain hard headed, remain leftist in their in their philosophy and actions, those cities are going to continue to suffer mightily. And if we have the correct structure of government, those cities will not benefit from government handouts. They won't have the wef of facilitating the growth of your downtown. Like in Detroit. Everyone goes to Detroit and they say, oh my gosh, it's so beautiful, and it is downtown Detroit. But most of that is because those businesses are being subsidized. They didn't come there on their own. They're being subsidized, and it looks good, it looks glamorous because they are focused on being the North American headquarters of the WEF and that's not a good thing. So we have our work cut out for US cities like New Orleans beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Well they were. You still have about eight beautiful blocks in New Orleans, but out of an entire city, that's that's not a big percentage. Baltimore the same thing, beautiful city, but businesses have had to close up and move out. Even in the Great Harbord District of Baltimore, many small businesses have had to close up. Why because of government. Got to get government out of the way. We've got to unleash the power of we the people. Then, because if you're too busy to hate, that used to be by the way, that used to be the slogan of Atlanta, a city too busy to hate, and it was legendary for its growth in the late sixties and the seventies and all of that. But anyway, now that I see that my time is up, I thank you so much for your time. With the DV. That's all folks tags that stage right m Now that I see that my time is up, I thank you so much for your time. And remember to pray for your city, your state, and our nation overall. Pray for your family, your friends, and even your enemies that they get to right before it's too late. And do not forget to treat others the same way you want to be treated. I'm Ron Edwards, and do not forget. Yeah, sure is king. I show you. To change your direction. Change your direct should make the new election to everyone. Leslie the way, the way to Everyone.
