Okay, so this is an interesting story. ABC is finally admitting the truth about President Trump's historic work on the border. And in our second story, Mayor Karen Bass sits down for an interview, which goes terribly wrong. And then Tulsi Gabbard makes an appearance on Fox News and provides a shocking update. We're going to get to all these stories in this video, show you what both sides are saying, and then give you the bottom line. give you the bottom line. You will hit the border with Mexico where there is little question that Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise. All illegal entry will immediately be halted. In a matter of months, migrant crossings have hit record lows.

Apprehensions at the southern border dropped to 6072 in the month of June, a massive reduction from the 83,532 apprehensions recorded in June of last year. Over 25 miles of concertino wire our U.S. Marines put up for us. Acting Patrol Chief Jeffrey Stahlnacher tells us the San Diego sector has seen a significant drop in illegal entries. And what that has done, it's allowed us to get our agents back on the border to do their traditional work. In addition to that, we have maximized consequences. It can be an immigration consequence or a consequence because of a criminal history, something that they've done in the past. So in other words, if they come across, you find out they have criminal history.

They go to jail and probably be kicked out later, or if they don't, they're just immediately. Yes, so criminal history and immigration. OK, so in this first story, what we're going to be taking a look at is the fact that ABC finally had to tell the truth about the historic work that's been done on the border. We're also going to take a look at L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and her reaction to the border And I think you'll be shocked by what she had to say

But we're also going to take a look at overall mainstream media and are they even covering these record? Numbers that we're seeing on the border as it pertains to border crossings and one way we could see it It's by using ground news now if you guys been following me for quite some time you know we love ground news you know I talk about it all the time and why is that because not only does it give you the full picture of what's happening in the media but it helps you think for yourself by looking at what's being reported. So if you guys want to follow along just go to ground.news.com. Now when I look up this story about the border crossings that have reached record lows, the

one thing that really stands out to me is this. 61% of media outlets that lean right are covering this story. And isn't that interesting, especially in this next clip where CNN is attempting once again to undermine President Trump in the work he's done on the border by posting this poll. Take a look. Brand new CNN polling out for the first time right now offers a new warning sign for Trump

on his bedrock issue, immigration. Just 42% of Americans now approve how he's handling immigration, with only 40% approving of his policies on deportation specifically. When it comes to deportations, 55% think Trump has gone too far. And that's up sharply by 10 points since February.

Okay, so just a couple of things. I wanted to show you ground news and this particular story because this is a prime example what ground news calls blind spot where only one side of the political spectrum is choosing to cover a story. So in the context of thinking for yourself, I would believe that would be an important piece of information for you to be able to decide what you want to believe.

Now, in regards to what CNN just said, what they're leaving out is how do people feel about what President Trump has done on the border? See, they're not reporting on that. They're reporting on deportations. That's a separate issue versus border security. And this is why in the show we continue to talk about ground news, because I want you guys to get the full picture.

I want you to be able to think for yourself. So that way you can come up with your own conclusions. So if you want to use this tool for yourself, all you have to do is go to ground.news4 slash Devore. Or you can download the mobile app, just use promo code Devore. And it's going to give you access to everything that I showed you in this video including 40% off the vantage point. Earlier this month federal agents clashed with protesters at a raid at a legal cannabis farm in Camarillo where DHS says they arrested more than 300 people.

I was going to work like any other day. Army veteran George Redis says he was just trying to get to his job as security at the farms. I eventually get to the wall of ice that's just standing there guarding the street. I just let them know that I'm a US citizen. I work here at the glass house. I'm a veteran. They ignored everything I had to say. Redis says he tried to drive away and acknowledges arguing with the ICE agents, but never expected what came next. They break my window. Another agent runs up and sticks his arm through my window

and sprains me in the face with OC. And they just dragged me out. And then you were taken away. And then I was taken away, thrown in a cell for three days without an attorney, without a phone call, without any medical help. He says he was never told why he was arrested. Redis was an infantry man in the army deployed to Iraq in 2019. So you join the army, do something for your country, your security guard of this place and you're arrested. Yes. How does

it make you feel? It's disappointing. It doesn't matter what you do for this country, whether I risk my life or whether I served and wore that flag on my shoulder. It didn't matter to them. All right. So as an army veteran myself who deployed to Afghanistan, this type of store is definitely disturbing. No question about it. And when you truly look into the facts, this is the type of action from ICE that spoils the good work that they are doing. There's no reason for them to have detained an army veteran who was a US citizen and had him sit in a cell for three days and he was not allowed to contact his lawyer or family member for three days. That is absolutely a violation of due

process. No question about it. If I was arrested or you were arrested and you sat in a cell for three days and they didn't allow you to make a phone call, yeah, you'd think about suing as well. Not to mention he was hit with tear gas, dragged out of his vehicle, et cetera.

Now, to be fair, she did mention at the beginning of the clip he was arguing with ICE officials. But even if they detain him, why did they remove him from that entire area and take him down to a cell? This is why the US attorney is now investigating this internally. So clearly there are some issues there. And again, we're always going to show you guys both sides of the story. Reach for comment DHS telling ABC News, George Redes was arrested and has been

released he has not been charged the US Attorney's Office is reviewing his case along with dozens of others for potential federal charges related to the execution of the federal search warrant in Camarillo. Beatrice Basurto works for 805 Undocu Fund contacting families and locating people taken in the raids. But the work is personal for her. Three of her family members were detained in the Camarillo raid. It's just been heartbreaking. Everyone's on edge the moment someone sees any mysterious car. If a window is too dark, right, if their license plate is not visible. What would you say to people who say, look, they're not here legally, they have to leave,

they should have raided it. Well, to those people, I don't care to conversation to those people. Our community is devoting our time to the people who are rallying up with us, who are just as angry as we are. So essentially what she is saying is that she doesn't care if the person crossed the border illegally. She doesn't care if the person is undocumented. They should be awarded citizenship. Bottom line.

The problem with that argument is that means you are okay at the fact that people have skipped the line and they will be awarded quicker than the people who've been waiting in line for many, many years. So that type of argument is never gonna fly in my book, in my own personal opinion. And I don't think Congress is ever gonna pass a piece of legislation to address this issue

because it's in their best interest to keep this system broken because it's something that both sides can run on when it comes to elections. That is the cold hard truth, by the way. Now, unfortunately, to prove my point, here is Karen Bass, essentially confirming the same argument that she doesn't care if someone's illegal or undocumented. They should have a pathway to citizenship.

And the reason why they don't is because President Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill from last year that everybody thought was perfect, which we all know wasn't. Take a look. Just tell me who you think should be deported. Is it just people who've been convicted of crimes? You have what? Almost a million undocumented workers in Los Angeles.

What should happen to those people? So let me just say that because we are a city of immigrants, we have entire sectors of our economy that are dependent on immigrant labor. We have to get the fire areas rebuilt. We're not gonna get our city rebuilt without immigrant labor. And it's not just the deportation, it's the fear that sets in when raids occur, when people are snatched off the street. And I know you are aware that even people who are here legally, even people who are US citizens have been detained.

Immigrants who have their papers and were showing up for their annual immigration appointment were detained when they showed up doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. So they should not be deported? I don't think so. They should stay. Well, this is what I'm- A million undocumented? No, let me just tell you.

What I think we need is comprehensive immigration reform. I served in Congress for 12 years. And didn't get it. Well, and didn't get it, and why didn't we get it? I mean, after I left, there was an immigration reform bill that had bipartisan support. This was during the campaign. The president decided he didn't want to have it happen because he didn't want immigrant immigration reform to happen where he didn't take credit. All right. Clearly she didn't hear the question properly because she blew right past what

Martha was asking her. I mean, is there anyone that you believe should be deported? That's a very easy question to answer. Yeah, illegal aliens who are committing crimes, MS-13 gang members, cartel members. I mean, it doesn't matter if they committed a crime against an American citizen, they should be out of here. No questions asked. But this is how Trump derangement syndrome works

and unfortunately when you hate someone this much and you're wrapped up in the political game of having to always Disagree with the president you forget that common sense would tell you it's okay to say that criminal legal alien should be Deported but if you thought that was she just said was, wait till you hear this particular answer to a very easy question. Is there anything good that President Trump has done on the border over the past six months? Take a look at her answer. Go back to Joe Biden again. Okay, there were there was hundreds of thousands of people crossing that border. When you look at that border today, is there anything good you think the administration has done in these six months at the border? Well, I was, he preys on the administration

for the first six months in Los Angeles with the fires. If you ask me, is there anything that they have done good in terms of immigration, I don't know. I don't think so. I think that the viewpoint has been punitive, has been let's make it as miserable as possible So that these people don't come I don't know what Los Angeles fires have to do with the border security again, she blew right past that and This is the tough spot that Democrats put themselves in politically because they're so aggressive in their rhetoric

against the president, it becomes a point where they can't just acknowledge common sense things about what he has done. And in a democracy, as they call it, that they want to be healthy and thrive, it's okay to be bipartisan. And it's okay to acknowledge when the other party is doing something good. In other words, give credit where credit is due. To disregard the work that President Trump has done on the border would be someone who's

being blatantly ignorant and quite frankly hyperbolic. I mean, I don't get how you can ignore that and think you have credibility to criticize the president. I just don't think you can have it both ways, but that's just me. Now in our next clip, you're going to hear from the acting director of ICE and really him responding to the biggest criticism from ICE so far. And that is only a small percentage of migrants have criminal convictions. Now, just something to point out before we hear what he has to say is just because they don't have a criminal conviction does not mean they're not a criminal because remember you don't need to be criminally convicted to be deported.

Is the policy still to prioritize the arrest and deportation of people who are here illegally but also are violent offenders? Yes, ICE is going to focus on the worst of the worst and that's what we do need to focus our limited resources on. That's one thing I've always said from the worst. And that's what we do need to focus our limited resources on. That's one thing I've always said from the start. What's, again, frustrating for me is the fact that we would love to focus on these criminal aliens that are inside a jail facility, right? A local law enforcement agency, state agency already deemed that person a public safety threat and arrested them and they're in detention. I'd much rather focus all of our limited resources on that

to take them into custody, but we do have to go out into the community and make those arrests. And that's what we are seeing those increase of if we encounter someone say that is a hater in the country legally, we will take them into custody. In regards to the work site, like you mentioned,

one thing that I really like to highlight, especially what kicked off June 6th in LA is the fact that when you see ICE doing these work raids, like the marijuana grow farm, we are going there with criminal search warrants or criminal arrest warrants. Not only are we focused on those individuals that are working here illegally, we're focused on these American companies that are actually exploiting these laborers, these people that came here for a better life, either forced labor either, you know, forced labor, child trafficking, you know, a lot of these worksite cases just isn't a victimless crime of someone here working illegally. And that's why we're going there with these criminal warrants to focus on these American businesses that are trying to

make an extra dollar on the backs of these people that came here for a better life. So let's go back to my last point there. If there is an illegal alien, let's say robs a house, gets arrested by local PD, they book him into the jail. But ultimately he makes bond, he gets released and is not convicted at the moment. How many people like that exists right now? ICE doesn't have that information. Why don't they have that information? It's because they cannot collaborate with local police officials. So when they're reporting the

numbers, of course not all 100% are going to be individuals who have committed crimes. That's obvious. But secondly, more importantly, instead of blaming ICE, what Democrat-run cities should be doing is working with them so that they can prioritize the migrants they're going after. You don't want people in forms being deported. You don't want people at Home Depot getting picked up. Then redirect ICE to the true criminals that are in your jails right now. I think I sound like a broken record at this point because I've said that repeatedly. And why they still are unwilling to do that is besides me. All right, so let's head to our next story.

And this is about Tosie Gabbard releasing that bombshell report, declassifying the documents that proves what we've already known all along, that Obama, the deep state, John Brennan, former CIA director, they were all in on it. They wanted to undermine President Trump in his first administration. They never looked at him as a legitimate president, and they wanted to do whatever they could to end him in a sense politically. And of course it all backfired in the end because he's president today. So why does this even matter? Right?

Because Tulsi Gabbard, her plan is to make sure that the former president, Barack Obama, is prosecuted for these crimes. So before we get to what she had to say, let's take a trip down memory lane that proves that they were peddling this nonsense, starting with Hillary Clinton. Take a look. And whether or not there's fire, we need to figure it out. But here is what's important. Put the investigation into Trump, his associates and everybody else to one side.

There is no denying that the Russians interfered in the election. Whether or not they had willing or unwitting help from the Trump team, they interfered and they did so to help him and hurt me, and they did so to destabilize our democracy, and they have not stopped. I mean, there's been enough public testimony before Congress now by very distinguished, experienced intelligence professionals who all say the same thing. This is a clear and present danger to our country.

Yeah. So that clip just shows you how far they're willing to go to get their way. And we're talking about Democrats at this point. However, in the broad scheme of things, we're talking about our own federal government, where they're willing to manipulate intelligence to get what they want, even if it's just for political reasons. And as a conservative and people who love the constitution, this should absolutely disturb you. Now, the good news here is we get confirmation of our conspiracies because that's what they would call them But the bottom line is this is pure confirmation. It's not fake. Okay, clearly

They manipulated the intelligence which put people in in the position down the line to accept the intelligence as fact It's as if they change the rules to the game and the people who were playing in the game They had no choice to go along with it There was no way they were ever gonna question it unless they were on the other side, like President Trump, because he knew what was going on. Now, here's another example of how far they were willing to go. And now we're talking about the media. David, according to the Washington Post, the idea that the president doesn't even want

to hear intelligence about Russia's meddling in the election is a stunning thing. And that briefers have to kind of figure out a workaround is really eye-opening. It's unique as far as I can tell in all of American history. It's an alarming report, Anderson, partly because the Washington Post has interviewed more than 50 people. So it has built up a lot of background and it's a more solidly built report. But what comes out of it is the president, because of his personal insecurities, his personal insecurities not wanting to have his election diminished or discredited in

some way, if he accepts the Russian, the conclusion of his intelligence agencies that the Russians meddled, he thinks that's somehow going to diminish him and he feels very uncomfortable about that, so he pushes it off. This is something which the entire intelligence community has said you know is concerned about General Michael Hayden former director of the CIA says it's the political equivalent the the Russian meddling is the political equivalent of 9-11. Yes the meddling itself constituted a direct threat to American democracy and that we are not cracking down on it as we should and we're

Further at risk in future. I mean it what it does also is I mean for a president who's so obsessed with winning It allows the Russians to win. Okay, so we're talking eight years ago that clip aired and It just goes to show you not much has really changed Right. I mean, it's fascinating. You'd think the media had learned their lesson by now, but I think they're just going to have to fall on their sword. And I think they have, which is why the ratings have continued to decline.

But anybody with a brain at this point knows that this was totally a hoax. And why does it matter today? Because we should learn from the past that we should never take what the media says is fact. And we also should never take what the federal government says is fact. That includes President Trump. If you're going to be a person who thinks for yourself and you truly love the Constitution,

you'll never believe what anybody is saying. You'll want to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions. That doesn't mean you are refusing to support the president. Now, here's what Tulsi Gabbard said and what she's looking to happen moving forward after dropping this report. Take a look. I've heard talk of a criminal referral.

Are you referring this in a criminal matter? We are referring all of the documents that we have uncovered to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal referral. Yeah. And do you believe that we will see prosecutions? I mean, our audience wants to know where this story goes from here. Will we ever see anyone held accountable for this incredible lie on the American people?

I will do all that I can. And we have whistleblowers actually, Maria coming forward now after we release these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened. We're starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they too,

like you and I and the American people want to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered. So we're going to provide everything that we have, everything that we will continue to gather to the Department of Justice for that direct intent and that direct purpose. There must be indictments, those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable. So do you expect, just to be clear, do you expect indictments and prosecutions? I'm not a lawyer. In my view, we have the evidence to be able to move forward and bring about justice.

Yes, to prosecute and indict those responsible. So bottom line is to what she is saying, she wants to see prosecutions. She wants to see accountability. She believes she's done her part. She's brought the evidence. Now, DOJ do your part. This in lies the actual issue with this entire administration so far. And even though it might be six months in, which is a fair pushback to what I'm about

to say, the fact still remains, no one has been prosecuted, convicted, or even is in a courtroom over the crimes that have happened over the past four years under Joe Biden. Nobody. So at this point, a lot of people are skeptical that these people will truly be held accountable because that's what we want in the end. Now, obviously everybody has a different idea on how to get there.

And again, we're only six months into the presidency and President Trump has accomplished some historic things like we told you at the beginning of this video with the border. So we're still gonna be patient here, give them leadway, and maybe it might take a year or two. And we do have the polar opposite to this debate, where some people are just saying that this is a complete joke. There's nothing here, and this is a total distraction. Take a look. Is there any legal basis for any kind of prosecution here?

basis for any kind of prosecution here? None, absolutely none, Margaret. What you saw from the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie because when you start throwing around language like sedition and treason, somebody's going to get hurt. Now you pointed out that the Senate committee then led by Marco Rubio, a Republican and now Secretary of State, found unanimously that Russia meddled in the election to try to assist Donald Trump. John Durham, special counsel appointed by Donald Trump, investigated this, found that the Senate report was correct. Now what Tulsi is doing,

it's a little slight of hand, but it's worth focusing on. She is saying that the Intelligence Committee early on said that the Russians could not use cyber tools to mess with the voting infrastructure, the machines that tally our votes. And that was true then, and it is true now. Though the Russians tried to break into a couple of states, you know, election technical infrastructure, they didn't do it. But it is well known and well established that the Russians hacked into the DNC and undertook any number of other influence operations, including buying reams of Facebook ads to

discredit Hillary Clinton. That is not in contention. All right. My only response to this is that 80% of what Tulsi Gabbard has released is enough for someone to make an educated guess that in some capacity at some level to some degree, Obama error officials, including mainstream media, built up the narrative that Russia hacked the election in order to help Trump beat Hillary Clinton, which means the votes didn't even matter.

That's really what they were suggesting, even though the private intel reports suggested the opposite. So just that point alone tells me if we're making an educated guess here, that of course they were trying to undermine President Trump. Now she says this rise to the level of treason, I need to see more documents. I need to see definitive evidence that says that they did X, Y or Z to rise to that level. Because when you're talking about prosecuting these high level officials, you got to have all your ducks in a row in the end.

Now here's what Byron Donalds also had to say in reaction. How was it that this cabal of senior people in the Obama White House was able to convince so many people of this lie when they had no evidence whatsoever of it? Well, they got away with it because once they leaked these false narratives and false reports, you had big media organizations who just went lock, stock and barrel, did not fact check, did not go and do the extra work, did not do any due diligence whatsoever. They just followed and towed the company line.

And then you have the deep careers in the intelligence community who either they were afraid of being fired or having their clearances revoked or B Were so concerned about a Donald Trump presidency that they felt it was okay to concoct False information into the into the American people into the body politic So Anna is completely correct There need to be arrests on this matter people need to go to jail on this because this is about the Republic This is not about one president. It is about the presidency and the continuation of our country.

Yeah. So Byron Donalds, I mean, that sounds all good. Very patriotic. But let's get real. Most people in Congress are never convicted of anything. I mean, let's be honest here. That is the cold hard truth. Let's not be naive here. Okay. How many do you eyes? How many sexual assaults? How many gambling issues how many crimes go unfounded unconvicted and never reported by people who are in Congress? so my Level of confidence that a former president will be prosecuted. Yeah, that's really low Okay, but I do hope they are successful when it comes to accountability overall

Hopefully they get someone hopefully they show that they tried listen releasing documents is not enough That's just step one, but can you bring someone into the courtroom? Can you put them in front of a jury? That's what they did with President Trump Right and they have no regrets over that So, let's see if the Trump administration can get this done I want them to get this done. I support them and getting it done And so that's where I stand on this particular issue So let's figure out where you guys stand on both of these stories in this video today

Obviously when you hear of an army veteran being detained for three days without a phone call that definitely warrants a three days without a phone call, that definitely warrants a criticism, okay? This obviously spoils the good work that ICE agents are doing overall. Now I don't think this one particular story is grounds for us to say, hey, ICE, stop what you're doing. But at least they are investigating the matter. But overall, what do you think about the border security numbers? I think they're phenomenal, historic, and isn't it shameful that the LA mayor can't even bring herself to acknowledge the great work that President Trump has done?

And of course, the second story, which is all about a hoax we've always known was true. We knew this conspiracy was true. And it only takes time for most conspiracies to come true as we're finding out over the past couple of years. but giving your take on this Do you think it's worth the headache? Do you believe what Tulsi Gabbard is doing is the right thing? Do you believe people will be prosecuted? Let me know your thoughts about all of this in the comment section below now in yesterday's video president Trump celebrated The fact that Stephen Colbert's late-night TV show was canceled now

I tell you the real reasons why it was canceled, but of course the media is trying to tell you it's other reasons. So if you missed out on that story and more from yesterday, all you have to do is click on that video because it's coming up right now.
