  Speaker 1: How much money do you think you'll raise from pair
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of on an annual basis, that's the most interesting question.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be a staggering them out. It will
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be the external I call it the External Revenue Service.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: That was a name that was devised by a few
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of us. But I think it's going to be a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: staggering amount.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you. Ben Ferguson with you, and
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: these are some of the stories that you may have
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: missed that we talked about this week on the forty
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. First up, we have the list of
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: the likely tax cuts that could save you and your
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: family a ton of money that Donald Trump wants in
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: the reconciliation bill. Will have those details as well. Also,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump says it's time to make a deal with Iran.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: He would rather make that deal than well go to war.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'll have the latest on the threat against Iran, especially
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: with their nuclear program. And finally, Democrats trying to figure
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: out how to stop Donald Trump. Well now they are
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: leaning on liberal activist judges to an act It's lawfare
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: to stop Trump at all costs. It's the forty seven
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Morning Update, and it starts right now.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I have an important list for you today, and is
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the list of the likely tax cuts that now Donald
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Trump wants in the Reconciliation bill. What this means for
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: everyday Americans is real savings for you. Now the plan
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: has become even more ambitious, mainly because of all the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: well abuse of your tax dollars that the Trump administration
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: has found in the last three weeks. The Press Secretary
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Carolin Levitt came out to explain just one of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: abuses of your tax dollars being used against you, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: it was when the money they found was going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: media outlets including Politico. This is what has spun the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: President up to give more of your money back to you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: was made aware of the funding from USAID to media
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: outlets including Politico, who I know has a seat in
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: this room, and I can confirm that the more than
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: eight million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: subscriptions to Politico, the American taxpayer's dying will no longer
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: be happening. The Doge team is working on canceling those
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: payments now, so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: When they find the money and then they decide to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: cancel these types of payments, the question many asked was, well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: what's going to happen next. Well, it now is clear
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the president saying he wants you to keep more of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: your money and stop giving so much of it to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the government. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are in
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: deep negotiations and went all weekend long on a tax
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: package that a budget watchdog group estimated would actually save
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you five to eleven point two trillion over the next decade. Now,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: if you read the media's explanation of that, they'll tell
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you it's going to cost you between five trillion to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: eleven point two trillion. No, No, that's how much the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: government will not get from you. A series of tax
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: policy changes that Trumps supports appear to have rod support
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: among Republicans in Congress. The Committee for a Responsible Federal
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Budget has released a study that projects the cost of
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: each item over a ten year period is going to
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: be huge for you, the American people. Now, on that list,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: at the top of it was one big thing, eliminating
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: taxes on tips. This was a huge promise from Donald
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Trump during the campaign, something he said he would work
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: on as soon as he got into the White House.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: It would result in a one hundred billion to five
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion reduction in federal tax revenue, meaning
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: one hundred to five hundred and fifty billion of taxes
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that you wouldn't have to pay to the government. We
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: also found out exempting overtime pay from federal taxes would
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: also give two hundred and fifty to three trillion back
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: into the pockets of American workers. And finally, exempting Social
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Security benefits from federal taxes would now cost between five
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion and one point five trillion. That tew.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: The government is reporting it to the media as they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: trying to keep more of your dollars. So what does
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: it really mean. It means that Donald Trump and the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Republicans are wanting you to keep between five hundred and
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: fifty billion to one point five trillion that you normally
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: would have paid in taxes. We also have been told
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that the present wants to lower taxes for US production
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of certain goods that would save you between one hundred
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to two hundred billion, and reducing tax benefits for stadium
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: owners and ending the carried interest loophole. They would also
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: save the taxpayers one hundred billion dollars. Now, all of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: this is being put together in one of the biggest
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: tax plans we've ever seen. But this is not a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: big tax plan that's going to raise your taxes. It's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: going to go down in history as one of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: biggest tax cuts in American history. And this is the
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: reason why Democrats right now are so terrified of Donald
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Trump and his success because three weeks in we also
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: know that Donald Trump has a new high approval rating,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: meaning the American people are paying attention and the American
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: people are in favor of exactly what Donald Trump.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Is doing now. Story number two.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It is very clear that Donald Trump's foreign policy is
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: one that he is willing to make changes, especially when
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it comes to different countries. The way he treats Hamas,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: for example, is very different than the way he's talking
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: about Iran right now. How do we know this because
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of a sit down interview that the President has done
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: talking about Iran and saying he's ready to make a deal.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It's also very clear that the President is not going
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to let Iran get a nuclear weapon, take a listen.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They went down to nothing. Now they are up to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of money.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think there's a deal there in Iran.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're going to make a deal in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a run. I think I would rather okay, And you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people think that we are
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: going to attack or Israel or with our blessing or
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is what Israel needs us? Everybody needs us. We have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the weapons, we have the strength. We're very strong. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: rebuilt on militiam people forget. I rebuilt our mood. Now
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't have given a lot to Afghanistan, which they did.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They gave a lot. There was no reason for that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But we're very strong. We have things that nobody else has,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so they need us. But everyone thinks Israel, with our
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: help or our approval, we'll go in and bomb the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: hell out of them. I would prefer that not happened.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'd much rather see a deal with Iran where we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: can do a deal, supervise, check it, inspect it, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: then blow it up, or just make sure that there's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: no more nuclear there. We just a better deal than
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Obama nuclear deal. Well that that was the dumbest
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: see by the way, that would have expired by now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: That was a road to a nuclear weapon. It was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a short term deal. You can make a deal with
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just a few years on it. That deal would be
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: expired by now, think of it, and they would have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a legal right to have a nuclear weapon. You can't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: allow them to have a nuclureban. But there's two ways
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of stopping them with bombs or with a written piece
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of paper. And I'd much rather do a deal. That's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a deal. It's not going to hurt them, and I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: think they wanted to. I think that Iran is very concerned.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I think that Iran is very frightened, to be honest
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with you, because the defense is pretty much gone. Maybe
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: they get to trying to get new defense as we speak,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they're meaning air defense, but their defense is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: largely gone. They've had some very bad moments. The whole
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: thing with the Pages was a disaster for them. The Pages,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. It was a horrible thing,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but it was you know, knocked out a lot of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: leadership like nobody's ever seen before. But I think of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Iran is very nervous. I think they're scared. I think
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Iran would love to make a deal, and I would
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: love to make a deal with them without bombing them.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: This is making liberals' heads explode. They want to blame
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump is a guy that's going to get us
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: into war War three. But it's very clear the presence
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: willing to make a deal. That's the question that everyone
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: asked at the very beginning, could Donald Trump make a deal? Well,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: he's walking up to a Ran right now saying let's
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: make a deal instead of us having a major war.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Presence says he believes he will get that deal done.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And there's many in the foreign policy arena that believe
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: that Iran is willing to now make a real deal
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: for a long term stability with an Iran nuclear program.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And if it doesn't happen, the president's also saying he
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: is going to make sure they don't get a nuclear weapon.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: So it's up to Iran now what happens. But the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: President clearly is saying let's talk.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three, if there's one.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Thing that we know right now, it's that Democrats are
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in disarray. They're in disbelief, they're angry, they're lashing out,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: and they're upset that what they've been doing and the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: control they've had in our government and the funneling of
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: money to NGOs and even terrorist organizations is now being exposed.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: So how can they fight back? Well, apparently they're going
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: back to something they feel has worked in the past,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: law fair. As liberal judges are now making unprecedented moves
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and efforts to shut down Donald Trump's agenda. It only
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: took them three weeks in the President Trump's sec and
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party is clearly rudderless. They lack compelling charismatic leadership.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: They are rapidly losing ground in the culture war that
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: they've dominated for so long. They don't have any favorable
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: issues or narratives that are breaking out into the broader
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: culture consciousness. Their tribe and true tactic of public shaming
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and cancelation well hasn't worked, even though they keep coming
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: after conservatives. We clearly now are living in different times,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: but there's one element of the activist left that still
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: poses a significant threat to Donald Trump and his agenda,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and it's law fare. Many of the same elements of
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: our system of justice that were used to harass, to bankrupt,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: and even try to jail President Donald Trump in years
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: past are unfortunately still in place. And are now being
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: weaponized against the MAGA movement. Here are several of the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: activist judges who are trying to take control of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: government for the deep state as we speak. A judge
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: by the name of Angel Kelly is a US District
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Court for the District of Massachusetts nominated by President Joe Biden,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: who has granted restraining order against the NIH funding cuts.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Kelly has a history of judicial activism and this is
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: hardly a secret. Is Sendor Elizabeth Warrens said in twenty
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: twenty one that Judge Kelly has made it a personal
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: mission to bring about change through her role on the bench. Yes,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: this is a real statement, a real quote, and it
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: is entirely accurate that this judge does not believe her
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: job is to actually enforce the law, but to actually
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: do radical things to change the country. Another judge, a
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: senior judge by the name of Amy Berman Jackson, the
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: U S District Court for the District of Columbia, nominated
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: by Barack Obama, recently made news by temporarily reinstating the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: fired head of the Office of Special Counsel, a Biden appointee,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Judge John McConnell, junior of the U s District Court
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: for the District of Rhode Island. He is a major
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Democratic donor, and he is attempting to block another spinning
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: freeze from Trump and is even taking the extreme approach
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: of threatening the administration officials with criminal charges if it
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: is not reversed. Yes, this is another judge, an activist
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: judge who is working clearly for the deep state. And finally,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: another senior judge by the name of Colleen Kohler Cutt
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Telly is a US District Court for the District of
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Columbia and a nominee of President Bill Clinton. This judge
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: stood against Trump's efforts to cut government access by blocking
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: DOGE from obtaining access to certain Treasury Department payment records,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: which handles an estimated ninety percent of all federal payments.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: This judge is also known for having sent seven pro
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: life activists to federal prison in a particularly cruel fashion.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: These are just some of the judges that are coming
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: out of the woodworks to try to stop the agenda
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: of the American people. Remember, it is a manda from
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the people. They've given Donald Trump the chance to do
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: what he's doing now, and these judges are standing in.
• 12:06
