• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you, Ben Ferguson with you, And
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: these are some of the stories that you may have
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: missed that we talked about this week on the forty
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. First up, attempted murder. Fifteen plus conservatives
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: have been targeted by swatting attacks in a one week period. Also,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump moves to get rid of well major debt
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: issues in this country with the introduction of golden visas,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: and he explains exactly how to work. And finally, Donald
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Trump spent quite a few hours from last week to
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: this week going after terroris all over the Middle East.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So what all did he accomplish. We'll explain that as well.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: If there's anything that's become clear in the last two
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: months is that the left has become completely unhinged. Now
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you can add attempted murder, plus fifteen conservatives have been
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: targeted by swatting attacks in a single week. A series
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: of swatting incidents targeting conservative commentators and journalists have transpired
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: nearly every evening since March the eleventh. This according to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the victims, who are sharing video, surveillance footage and photos
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of the events, sparking questions as to who is engaging
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: in what Representative Andy Ogles described as domestic terrorism and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: attempted murder. The FBI Director Cashpattel, and the Attorney General
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Christyinome have also
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: reacted to the wave of dangerous crimes. In terms, swatting
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: refers to an anonymous attacker targeting someone for making a
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: false call to emergency services, using anonymous tools like Google
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Voice or VPNs to make it appear the call is
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: coming from a certain location and telling authorities a murder
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: or hostage of is transpiring at a particular address. Swatting
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: is designed to prompt swat teams to arrive at the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: targeted home and descend on the unsuspecting victims, which in
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the past have led to deadly encounters and murder charges
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: for the offender. At the time of this story breaking,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: there has been at least fifteen figures already in conservative
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: politics and media that have reported being swatted within the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: course of the last week. The string of swatting ensigns
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: seemingly began on the evening of March eleven, with info
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Wars reporter revealing in an early morning ex post that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: six to eight police officers used a pacism to call
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: me by name and order me to walk out of
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: my house. I was handcuffed in the middle of the street,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: presumably at gunpoint, though I couldn't tell because the lights
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: being shined in my face. I was in led into
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the house where my wife was woken up, and we
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: were informed that they received a call from someone pretending
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to be me threatening to kill my family. Then after
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that many others receive the exact same treatment. Another reporter
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: was swatted not once, but twice in a single day,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and many other journalists are now saying it's very clear
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: they were all targeted in a coordinated attack. The federal
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: government now saying very clearly they are going to hunt
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: down those who are making these calls and putting conservative
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: commentators lives at risk.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Now. Story number two.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: One of the core issues the President of the United
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: States of America said he believes is his job now
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse, and to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: deal with our out of control federal deficit, which is
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: in the trillions of dollars. Donald Trump is also looking
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at ways to bring more money into the country and
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: one way he says we can do it is by
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: having a five million dollar payment to our government for
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: a golden visa. He believes that this is a major
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: opportunity for America to pay down our debt. Now. He
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: was talking with Laura Ingram on Fox News Channel about
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: these visas, and this is what he wanted the American
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: people to know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: The Golden visa, which you also you're obviously backing, probably
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: is going to have to go through Congress. We'll see
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: if they actually do that. But five million dollar investment
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: from a foreigner coming into the United States, Why should
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: our citizenship be purchased for any amount of money, especially
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: given the fact that you're America first, Given the types
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of people who have five million dollars to throw down
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: for a visa or for a permanent residency.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's why, because I'm America first, Because at five million dollars.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You're getting a lot of things, but you're getting five
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: million dollars. Let's say we sell a million of them.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: That's five trillion dollars. We are now a unbelievably successful
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: country paying down tremendous amounts of debt. It's all going
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to pay down debt. We're going a very little debt.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Separate.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But if you did think of it, if you did
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: five million dollars. Now, generally people that can pay five
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: million dollars are going to be job producers. Okay, they're
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: going to be successful. They're going to produce jobs. But
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: here's another thing. Apple comes to me. A lot of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: companies come to me. They say, sir, we just made
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a deal to hire the number one student at the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Wharton School of Finance, or at Harvard Business School or
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: anything else, or MIT or Stanford or anything. But they're
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: going to throw them out of the country the day
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: after graduation. They'll buy these.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Why should any American kid become a company?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And by the way, they're going to call it either
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the gold card. The problem is is mini gold cards. Well,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I will tell you what my people want to call it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It'll drive you crazy, it'll drive the left crazy. They
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: want to call it the Trump card because the Trump
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: card sells much better than the Gold card.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Everybody has a you're not worried about any unsavory people
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: coming in and.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Take I'm worried about unsavory which case we're going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: given the money back.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: And they get out they'll be properly vetted.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Or they're going to be properly vetted. But you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you're talking about a lot of people. I think it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: going to be very successful. If somebody's wrong, we get
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we actually very nice because it makes it a lot
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: easier legally. We give them that money back and we
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: send them.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Out one thanks for sure. The President United States of
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: America is looking for new ways to bring actual cash
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: into the United States of America from people overseas. In
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: other words, he's looking at them as customers instead of
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: all the money coming from the American taxpayer. As for
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the program and the fear mongering, many in the media
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: are doing this. They're saying, what if an unsavory person
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: comes in, you just heard the President make it very clear,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: we'll kick him out. Maybe we'll get him a refund,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and we'll move on.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And here is story Number three.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: One of Donald Trump's promises from the campaign trail was
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to go after terrorists all over the world peace through strength,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to making sure that we strike first on those they're
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: trying to do harm to Americans, our soldiers, and American
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: interests around the world. Well over the past week, Donald
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Trump has in intensified his counter terrorism efforts, both domestically
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and internationally. Here is a quick summary of just some
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: of the things that the present has done. Airstrikes have
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: been ordered. Starting on March fifteenth, President Trump authorized large
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: scale air strikes targeting I ran back Hoothi rebels in
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yemen's capital. This action was in response to the Houthis
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: threat to US shipping assets in the Red Sea. The
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: offensive aims to protect American interest and ensure navigational freedom
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: in the region. Donald Trump, putting it this way in
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: his own words on True Social Today, I ordered the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: United States military to launch decisive and powerful military action
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: against the Houthy terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: other ships, aircraft, and drones. Joe Biden's response was pathetically
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going It has been
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: over a year since a US flag commercial ship safely
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Gulf of Aden. The last American warship to go through
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: terrorist group over a dozen times funded by Iran. The
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Houthy thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft and targeted
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: our troops and allies. These relentless assaults have cost the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: US and the world economy many billions of dollars, while
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: at the same time putting innocent lives at risk. The
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Hoothy attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: The Houthis have choked off shipping and one of the
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: most important waterways of the world, grinding vast swaths of
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: globe commerce to a halt and attacking the core principle
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of freedom and navigation upon which international trade and commerce depends.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Our brave warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: on the terrace basis. They're leaders and missile defenses to
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: protect American shipping, air and naval assets and to restore
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: navigational freedom. No terrorists force will stop American commercial and
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: naval vessels from freely sailing the waterways of the world.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: To all the houthy terrorists, your time is up and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: your attacks must stop starting today. If they don't, hell
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: will rain down upon you like nothing you've ever seen before.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: President Trump went on to say to Iran, support for
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the houthy terrorists must in immediately. Do not threaten the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: American people, their president, who has received one of the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: largest mandates in presidential history, or worldwide shipping lanes. If
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you do, beware because America will hold you fully accountable
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and we won't be nice about it. That is the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: President's clear message to the terrorists right now in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Middle East.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: This message comes less than twenty four hours after Trump
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: also announced Friday night that the US forces had killed
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq. The White House
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: even released the footage of the airstrike on social media,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: making it clear that President Trump will go and terminate
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: any terrorist leader anywhere he has to to keep Americans safe.
