• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. It's, you know, pretty simple.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It's really simple. We're not looking to take their industry,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we're not looking to take their land, we're not. All
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: we're saying is you can't have a nuclear weapon. I'd
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: like to see Iran thrive and they can do that,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I think very easily, or they can do it the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: other way. And the other way is not going to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: be good for them. It's going to be really bad
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: to have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: here are the three big stories we're talking about today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: First up, a rand Supreme leader on obtaining nuclear weapon says, quote,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: death to America is not just a slogan, it's a policy,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: and the White House responds. Up next, Lindsey Graham has
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: some questions for the man that's going to be leading
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the DEA and what he had to say about Kamar
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Obrega Garcia, Well, it will shock the media with their
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: big lie and the Democratic Party, and we have the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: audio for you here in just a moment and Finally,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: a shocking speech from the fore of the Senate by
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer which basically could have been written by the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Chinese Communist Party on tariffs. I'll have that for you
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: in just a second. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and it starts.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Right now story number one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: As we move.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Past the one hundred day mark and the Trump administration,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: there is still a lot that is happening, including on
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the issue of Iran and their nuclear weapon capabilities. Iran
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Supreme Leader setting the stage for exactly what they want
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: when it comes to their future, saying this about obtaining
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. Quote death to America is not just a slogan,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: it is a policy translation. If we get a nuclear weapon,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: we plan on using it. These are genocidal maniacs and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: it's a terrorist regime, no matter what the liberal media
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: tries to sell you on. Now, the President of the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: United States of America was asked about where are we
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: when it comes to a rand nuclear deal and what
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: will we do moving forward. Here's the President in his
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: own words.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. It's you know, pretty simple.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's really simple. We're not looking to take their industry.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We're not looking to take their land. We're not. All
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we're saying is you can't have a nuclear weapon. The
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: deal that was made, the deal that was made with Obama,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and then they would have expired already. It was a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: terrible deal. It was it was would have expired, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that gave them a clear path to a nuclear weapon.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have accepted. That's why I terminated the deal.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Number one is way too short. You know, when countries
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: are involved, you don't make short term deals. These are
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: countries with long lives. And I terminated that. And it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was a great termination because it didn't allow us to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: do anything once it terminated. You know what the deal was.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: It was a terrible deal.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It really one of many terrible deals made by the US.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But no, I want I'd like to see Iran thrive
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and they can do that, I think very easily, or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they can do it the other way, and the other
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: way is not going to be good for them and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be really bad for them.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Very clear stance from the President United States of America.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Either do a deal, or we will stop you. The
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Senate Republicans coming out with a statement as well, agreeing
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: with President Trump, saying quote, Iran has no reason to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: enrich uranium and must never have a nuclear weapon, saying, quote,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: we are grateful that the President is holding Iran accountable
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and working to ensure they can't obtain a nuclear weapon. Now,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the message to Iran is also very clear. We know
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that you are a state sponsor of terrorism. We know
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that you support the Huthis, We know that you support
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Hamas and Hesblah, and we know that you are funneling
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: money to any of these proxies to go after people
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that you don't like, including Israel. We know that you
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: chant death to America, death to Israel. And at the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: end of the day, it will be impossible for us
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to allow you to gain nuclear weapons. Now, if you
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: look at what is happening right now, there does seem
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: to be movement where Iran is coming to terms with
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the reality the President Donald Trump is not flinching on
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: this issue and the ability for them to have a
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapon is a non starter. And yes, military power
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: will be used to stop them if we must. But
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: if you notice there what the President also said, he
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: wants the people of Iran to flourish, but they cannot
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: flourish if they are threatening the rest of the world
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: or trying to get that nuclear weapon. Now, the big
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: question is what will Ran do next? As they are
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: saying death to America, are they actually willing to get
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: a deal done. We'll have to watch in the days ahead,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: but it's clear the President has said to them and
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the rest of the world, if you don't get in line,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we will stop you, no matter what next. Story number two,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: another immediate lie has exploded in the face of Democrats
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and those in the media that were telling the story.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump's pick to lead the drug enforcement agency
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: known as the DEA has blown up the denials from
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: liberal media outlets that purported that the MS thirteen gang
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: member Kilmar Obrego Garcia is not sporting tattoos for the gang.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: The DEA administrator Terry Cole made it very clear to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that the media
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and Democrats were lying about the tattoos of a man
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: they described as just a father from Maryland. He was
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: asked about the tattoos during the hearing from Lindsay Graham,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and here is what he said.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Are you familiar with MS thirteen, Yes, sir, briefly, what
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: are they?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: They're a terrorist organization?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been designated at foreign terrorist organization. Yes, sir,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: they're involved in drugs, fentanyl.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Extortion, kidnapping, drugs, intimidation, money laundering.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: In your time in the DEA, do they have like
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: membership cards.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Not necessarily the membership cards, but they are well recognized
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: based on tattoos and in different Do you have.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: A photo I think our office provided to you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: We spoke, Yeah, we spoke about it earlier.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, can you give this stuff? This is a
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: photo of tattoos a mister Breo Garcia. Much attention has
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: been paid to his case. I think he's in Venezuela.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Can you see the photo here?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Yes? Sorry, Ken, I have a copy of it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Okay. Based on your time and experience and expertise in
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the DEA, what does that photo or those markings suggest.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: To you, Well, they suggest that he's an MS THIR
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: team member, that those are his markings, that's his brand.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Not only my time at the DEA, but currently I participate.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: The start with a Leaf's that a sign of marijuana? Okay?
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: The next one is your smiley face okay, And the
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: next one is I.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Believe that's the one. I can't.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: It's a little blurted out from you, sir, and then
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: the last one is a three backwards over.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, So, based on your time as a DEA agent
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: in the field, particularly in Mexico, these tattoos are consistent
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: with MS thirteen associations.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, that's correct.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Do you know of any other set of combinations that
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: would suggest some other organization this represents with.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: This particular one, No, sir.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yet again, it's very clear the DEA nominee is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Democrats and the media's worst nightmare.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Quote.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Based on your time as a DA agent in the field,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: particularly in Mexico, these tattoos are consistent with MS thirteen
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: associations the DEA chief nominee. Yes, So why did the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: media lie to you? Why did they say that the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: picture wasn't even real, that the president was you know, bamboozled? Well,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: ABC News even in the one hundred day interview, try
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to imply that the picture wasn't real. Not only is
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: it real, but now we know from the man who
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: will be in charge of the DA that yes, this
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: individual is an MS thirteen gang member, not some father
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: from Maryland. And just think about it this way. This
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: is the man that Democrats flew down to hang out
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: with hold his hand and desperately want to bring back
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: into the United States of America a man that two
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: different courts have declared a member of a terrorist organization.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: So if you think Democrats and the media are looking
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: out for you, just look at this new hoax that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: they've already been busted on.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: And here is story number three.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It was a speech from the floor of the Senate
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: by the Senate leadership of the Democratic Party, Chuck Schumer,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and it was a speech that very well could have
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: been written by the Chinese Communist Party. If you want
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to know just how much they hate American workers and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: they hate the idea of America standing firm or standing
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: up to China, well just listen to Chuck Schummer's own words.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: And I'm not kidding when I say this. You gotta
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: wonder did the speech come directly from the CCP.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: One thing is clear. Donald Trump's tariffs have been a
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: total failure. Instead of isolating China, Donald Trump's tariffs are
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: isolating US. Instead of spurring American manufacturing, Trump's tariffs are
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: raising costs and driving US into recession. There's no strategy
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: with Trump's tariffs, only chaos. One day Donald Trump says
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: yes to tariffs, the next day no to tariffs. One day,
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: tariff's on this country, the next day, tariff's on that country.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Even Donald Trump's own.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: Policy advisors are struggling to explain his flip flopping. The
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: only thing Donald Trump's tariffs have succeeded in is raising
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: the odds of recession and sending markets in to a
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: sail spin.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: If you want to file that speech under Chinese propaganda,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it'd be a perfect place to put it. And there
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: was also many things that were just flat out lies.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: For example, he said it was destroying manufacturing these tariffs
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in America. Well that's actually not true. Many US manufacturers
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: are now reporting major benefits from the tariffs. Whirlpool, for instance,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: has indicated that the new trade policies helped level the
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: playing field by reducing foreign competitors' cost advantages and bolstering
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: domestic production. New Core, a leading steel producer, also saying
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: now they have strong demand and increase order backlogs, attributing
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: this to reduce reliance on imported steel. The tariffs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: prompted companies to consider reshoring. Production, including Apple, for example,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: is expected to exceed earnings projections, partly due to increased
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: consumer demand ahead of potential tariffs and its effort to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: ship production from China to India and other countries. Yes,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the President is making progress on tariff negotiations, as the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: administration says, be patient. Many countries have lined up to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: talk with a White House and are currently in negotiations. Whine,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the White House statement said it very clearly, tariffs are
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: aiming to rebuild the economy, restore national and economic security,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and make sure that American workers have great paying manufacturing jobs. Yes,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: all of this indicates that there are major outcomes that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: could come in the days and weeks ahead that will
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: be good for America. So why did the man in
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: charge of the Democratic Party put a propaganda speech out
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: there from the for of the Senate. Well, you got
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to look at maybe just how close the Democratic Party
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: really is to the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.
