DANA PERINO (HOST): Today President Trump is going to Aurora, Colorado. That's a place I know pretty well and Danielle Jurinsky, she's a council member there, she said this; "I am so appreciative that a presidential candidate is taking the time to come to a city that has been impacted by Tren de Aragua. The people of Aurora deserve to feel safe and deserve leadership in the White House who will ensure our city is not overrun by Tren de Aragua." And you know, a lot of the other officials in the state are Democratic and they've been bending over backwards to say no, no, no, this isn't the problem that we have here. And I think it's interesting. President Trump said, I'm going to go there. Colorado used to be a very red state. It's been blue for a little while. But he's gonna go no matter what.
PETE HEGSETH (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): He should. And don't believe your lying eyes. That has been what Democrat politicians have been telling populations in large cities large and small. No, this influx of illegals, and yes, they're not sending their best in many cases. They are very much not sending their best with Tren de Aragua being a stark example of that. Your quality of life is going down. You feel less safe. Your resources are being drained. In this case, your buildings in some places are building commandeered. But don't speak up about that. If you do, you're the racist, you're the Islamaphobe or any other phobe in whatever case.
Americans need to have the courage to speak up on behalf of their communities, regardless of race or background and say Americans first and citizens deserve to be protected. That's what Donald Trump is talking about, that's what he will say and Democrats are counting on silence. And that cloak of silence doesn't work when people feel it. They quietly go vote for someone that will reestablish security, sanity, and common sense.
When you import the Third World, you get Third World hierarchy, values, and chaos. Whether it's Afghanistan, or whether it's Tren de Aragua or other gangs. Trump understands this instinctively, he's communicating what people are feeling, Democrats can deny it, but they do it at their own detriment, and to the detriment of this country.
