ROB FINNERTY (HOST): And I have no idea how Donald Trump does what he does. The man who was made for this job is doing exactly what he said he would do. Yes, Donald Trump was dictator on day one, but a dictator that the American people voted for. They all asked for this and voted for this. And according to our borders czar today, Tom Homan, over 300 criminal illegal aliens were arrested on day one. It took one day. And did you hear anything negative about it? I didn't. Did you hear about roundups? Did you hear about ICE agents going into the ghettos and banging down doors? No, because that didn't happen. And that is exactly what the American people voted for. And if you don't believe me, just ask the only guy over at CNN that should work at Newsmax.

FINNERTY: Donald Trump took the oath of office just about 55 hours ago, and so far, it has been a complete show of force. The new administration, again, doing exactly what they said they were going to do. In fact, they're moving so fast that it's been impossible for the rest of the media to keep up, and they're doing that on purpose. If you go quickly, the legacy media doesn't have time to criticize every little thing you do. It's been total shock and awe, and it's moving too fast for them.
Donald Trump today closing the border officially to all illegal immigrants, signing an executive order at 3:22 PM in Washington, empowering officials to arrest, prosecute, and deport anyone who crosses the border illegally. Think about the message that that sends to the rest of the world. It is crystal clear. Try it, and you will not only go to jail, but you will also be deported. Criminals will finally be treated as criminals again in this country, and that's refreshing.
