Trump Hits Grand Slam! 76% Approval of SOTU as Dems go Unhinged · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We have accomplished more in forty three days than most
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: are just getting started.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning. It has Ben Ferguson with you. It's
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and here are the big
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: stories we're covering today. First up, it was a grand
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: slam for the President of the United States of America
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: with a joint addressed to Congress.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: How do we know that bill? A new CBS poll says.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It's seventy six percent approved of Donald Trump's address. I'll
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: break down the poll numbers for you in much more
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: detail in just a moment. Plus, Democrats didn't learn a
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: darn thing from election night, and they certainly didn't learn
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: anything in the addressed to Congress as anarchy set in
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: among the Democratic Party. So when you look at the polls,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: are they going to change the way they're doing things?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Apparently not. And we have a big showdown over censoring
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: one of those Democrats in the House of Representatives. And finally,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: it's a really important subject. It is the tariffs on China,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: on Canada, and on Mexico.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: So what is this really all about. I'm going to
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: give you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Exclusive details from the White House on exactly what they
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: want you to know. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and it starts right now.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Here is story number one.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: After you do a.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Say of the Union, the question is did it land
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: with the American people?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Well? Boy, did it?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Ever, CBS poll has come out and said that seventy
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: six percent approved of President Trump's address to Congress. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: cannot tell you how massive that actually is. The majority
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: of Americans overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump's decisions, and viewers who
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: watched it said, yes, we approve of what Donald Trump
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: had to say in his speech, which was the longest
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: day of the Union ever to that Joint Session of
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Congress Tuesday night. Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: since being inaugurated January two, and exclaimed, we are just
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: getting started. Did the American people believe and support what
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the President was saying?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: A wopping seventy six percent of those watching said they
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: approved of Trump's first second term speech to Congress, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: this is again coming from CBS News. Now, one of
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the X factors of this is also just how negative
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: and honestly psycho the Democrats look. They wouldn't even stand
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and clap when someone gets into West Point who had
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: lost a loved one. They wouldn't stand and clap for
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: a young boy who has made a Secret Service agent.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't clap when we talked about bringing actual terrorists
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: to have killed Americans at Abba Gate to justice in
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the United States of America.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to have more on that list in
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: a moment.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But that may be why the President landed the speech
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: so well, is because the American people could see just
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: how much the Democratic Party hates basic things that all
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Americans should be in favor of. It shouldn't be a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: partisan issue if you have a president saying we're bringing
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: terrorists to justice. It shouldn't be a partisan issue to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: stand for a young boy who is fighting for his
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: life with cancer and surviving and then being made a
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: you know, a Secret Service agent. This is one of
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: those moments that everyone should clap for, and yet the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Democrats refused to stand. So let's get to the poll
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: numbers and really break this down. Not only did ninety
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: one percent say that Donald Trump spent time on issues
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: they cared about, meaning that is a speech that landed.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Look, I've gotten to help on a couple of.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Different Stay of the Union addresses, and if you walked
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: into the presence at miss President, we just wrote you
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a speech that ninety one percent of the country is
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: going to connect with and say that you talked about
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: an issue they cared about. Let me just tell you,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you would be a god in the political speech writing world. Okay,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a speech to my knowledge that rated
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: afterwards at ninety one percent. That is the holy grail
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: where ninety one percent of the people watching said, hey,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you talked about something that I genuinely care about.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Now, that is unbelievable on its face.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: But then you go back to the other question, Okay,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: was the speech something you watched for a long period
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: of time That simply comes down to an issue of entertainment.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Are you engaged?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Is the president speaking to you or is he talking
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: about things that you don't care about?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Well, ninety one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Percent said the President spend time on issues they cared about,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and then seventy four percent said the address was presidential
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and also informative and entertaining. A total of seventy one
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: percent after that said this speech was inspiring to them. Now,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: let's go back to speech writing here and say the units.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: When you're writing a speech like this, if you could
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: walk into any president say hey, I'm going to give
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you a speech that ninety one percent are going to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: say connected with them in a way, Seventy four percent
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: said that your address was quote presidential, and then seventy
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: one percent, mister President, said the speech was inspiring to them.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: That is, these are numbers that I would literally argue
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: are virtually unobtainable. Now, these numbers I just gave if
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you all came from CBS News, so they had to
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: have been on a suicide watch after they had to
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: report this as a news organization, because this is not
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: what they were hoping to tell you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Next story number two.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: If you thought the Democrats were going to learn anything
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: from Donald Trump's speech or how America reacted to it
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: with the incredible poll numbers, well you'd be wrong, because
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: they are all now saying that they didn't do enough
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to disrupt the president of the United States of America.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Even ABC news is. Sonney Hosten said all the Democrats
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: should have walked out during Donald Trump's address that on
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the view saying the Democratic lawmakers should have I guessed,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in essence, said we're standing with you. To the one
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: man that actually was booted from the night, Sonny Hosten said,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: you know, while I didn't watch it, I was looking
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: for signs of an opposition party, which is what the
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party must be at this point, not a resistance
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: because resistance is passive. Opposition is active. I think that
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: is what I saw when Representative Val Green stood up
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and said, quote, you don't have a mandate to take
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: away Medicaid, and he was tossed out. I expected the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: rest of his Democratic caucus, his colleagues, to walk out
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: with him, because alone you can survive, but together you thrive.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: She went on to say later in the program that quote,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: that is the energy that we need. They should have
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: stood with him in solidarity. We had Jean Pierre here
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: on this show yesterday and she said, we have to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: have a sense of urgency as we move forward, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: we cannot do it the way we have in the past.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: This is not normal. It is a five alarm fire.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And what I want to say to the Democrats is
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you can't play by the rules with a party that
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: has thrown away the rule book.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You cannot do it. Now.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: This is coming from the same people that tried to
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: put Donald Trump in prison and anyone else around him.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: They're the ones that advocated for the raid of Marlago.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: They're the ones that said that the people around January
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the sixth were the same as terrorists that attack this
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: country on nine to eleven, you know Sama bin Laden
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: in Alquaida. These are also the same people that are
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: now actively advocating for anarchy or another word, Democrats obsessed
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: over insurrectionists. Now it seems that the Democratic Party is
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: calling for exactly that anarchy and insurrection, but not from
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: people outside the capitol. They're literally advocating for it by
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the people that have been elected inside of our government.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You may have also seen during Donald Trump's joint address
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to Congress, the purple haired congresswoman who went viral Tuesday
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: night for scowling throughout the entirety of President Donald Trump's
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: addressed to Congress. Well, she decided it was not enough
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: just to scowl at the president all night. She even
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: put out a special video on X saying this.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I was really stunned that the election was fought over
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the cost of living and people families who live pacheck
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: to paycheck, concerned about whether or not they were going
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: to be able to pay their bills, be able to
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: pay for the healthcare. In some cases, you be putting
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: food on the table. Addressed tonight didn't address any of
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: those issues about cost of living and the fact that
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: people live paycheck to paycheck, and what we ought to
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: be doing in the Congress is to make sure that
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: we are helping people to secure an economic future for
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: themselves and their families.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: By the way, let's just hit pause there and go
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: what to the CBS poll numbers actually did tell us
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: about the speech. The people watching the speech definitely believe
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that the president was actually talking about those things. In fact,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: when asked whether the president had a clear plan to
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: battle inflation in the speech, sixty eight percent said yes,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and it was a plan that they could get behind.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So what is she actually complaining about. She's complaining about
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the fact that Democratic Party lost the last election. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: that is when she tells you the truth about how
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: much she hates Donald Trump.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Keep listening.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I found the speech to be vengeful, revengeful, and instead
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: of being lifting the hopes and the aspirations of people
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: of the United States of how we move forward as
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: a great nation that we are, what the vision for
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: our future was, it devolved into just vindictiveness and self
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: adulation on behalf of Donald Trump did not address the
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: issue of unchecked billionaires like his friend ally and Elon Musk.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: It was not a speech befitting a great world leader
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: or a great president of the United States.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: So there you have it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: They're angry about Elon Musk cutting their waists, their fraud,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and their abuse. They're also angry to Elon Musk for
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: apparently being wealthy, but they have no problem with George
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Soros or any of the other billionaires on the left
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that have been financing this type of quote anarchy and
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: revengeful vengefulness to quote her. So at the end of
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the day, if you thought Democrats were going to learn
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: from their mistakes, apparently they're not at all, and that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: may actually be a good thing for Donald Trump and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: his agenda.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And finally, story number three, it's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Very important that you understand what's going on with Donald
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Trump using tariffs to protect American lives There's a lot
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: of misinformation out there about the President and the tariffs
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that have just gone into effect, and I want you
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to understand why. First off, the President is actually doing this.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: You may not know, but President Joe Biden did very
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: little on fighting to protect Americans from fetnal. Fetnal smugglers
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his time in office.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: That is exactly why President Trump has quickly imposed painful
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: tariffs on countries that are helping those smugglers that killed
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: again three hundred thousand Americans during the Biden administration.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Quote.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I determined that the failure of the Government of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: influx of synthetic opioids, including fetan, flowing from the Chinese
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: declared in his March third Order. He also went on
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: to say this in recognition of the fact that China
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: the only place we're having problems when it comes to
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: xp to the United States. Now, the vast death toll
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: from fetanol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: multiple government reports. This is something that Biden administration knew,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: were oding. Yet Biden's countermeasures were, by the way, all
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: tactical when he did act like he was acting, and
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: he put little or no pressure on Mexico and China
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: including Border Chief Majorchis, they prioritize trade deals with China
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and migration deals with Mexico over American lives.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Let me give you an example.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: In twenty twenty two, Biden's deputies stayed mute when Texas
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Governor Greg Abbott uses power over cross border inspections to
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: force modest concessions from four Mexican regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: efforts are being opposed by pro illegal immigrant advocates who
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: do not want to recognize the huge death told to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: American citizens. For example, Aaron Boyke at The Washing and
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Post wrote this, President Donald Trump's long promised tariffs on
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: goods from Canada and Mexico are due to going to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: effect Tuesday. This despite fears that the taxes on imports
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: could cripple the economies of our two neighboring allies and
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: negatively impact the US economy as well by exacerbating inflation.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You notice they don't care about American families being ripped
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: apart by these synthetic drugs. The New York Times wrote,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: for American families, the likely result is higher prices nearly
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: everywhere they turn, trying to fear monger you that the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: grocery prices are more important than your children's lives. They
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: also went on to talk about car dealerships and electronics
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: stores and iPhones and what you're going to pay at
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the pump. The Wall Street Journal even ignored the narcotics
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs. Good news is
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump wasted no time responding to the Wall Street
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Journal criticism, saying this quote the terrifobby headed by the
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: globalist and always wrong. Wall Street Journal is working hard
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: others to name continue the decades long ripoff of America,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: both with regard to trade crime and poisonous drugs that
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: are allowed to so freely flow into America. China, by
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetnol, saying, Oh,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the United States of America, however, is saying, Yes, this
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: is a battle worth fighting. Why Because it's already cost
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the lives of more than three hundred thousand Americans and
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: that clearly is something he's willing to fight for.
