  Speaker 2: us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: one big story for you, massive fraud being uncovered by

  Speaker 2: the federal government and doctor Oz leading the way and
• 0:30

  Speaker 2: age sixty six six seven nine seven eight seven to one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We now have word the Department of Justice is investigating
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota governor as well as the Minnesota mayor, who
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: decry the probe as what they describe as an intimidation tactic. Now,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: what's funny about all this, it's Democrats that actually are
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the masters of this plan, if that's actually what it was.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Remember how they weaponize our government to go after Donald
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Trump and anyone around him, trying to lock him up
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and try to overthrow the will of the people. Now,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the difference with the DOJ investigation now is people have
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: already gone to jail, and a governor has already decided
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: not to run for reelection because of actual and abuse
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of power, and millions and millions of dollars that then
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: turn into billions of dollars that we're stolen from the taxpayers.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And where did the money go, much of it overseas,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: including to terrorist organization Al Shabab. That is not a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump intimidation tactic to go after quote political enemies. Instead,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: what we're witnessing right now is a Department of Justice
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that is doing their job. Now, there's no doubt the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Democrats are going to try to spend this any way
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: they can saying that they did nothing wrong. It's just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a you know, intimidation tactic. Well, let's talk about the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: background of this. We now know confirmed confirmation coming from
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the Justice Department that they are in fact investigating Governor
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Waltz and Minnesota Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry over what is
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: being described is a possible obstruction of federal law enforcement,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and a person familiar with the matter has come out
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and even said to CNN that the grand jury subpoena
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: had been issued for both men as part of the investigation.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Neither office had received any notice as of Friday evening,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: according to sources familiar with the matter, and it's not
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: immediately clear when Fry or Waltz would receive those subpoenas.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: The Justice Department, of course, declined to comment. Now. President
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Trump and his administration have been critical of any elected
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: official that is on abusing power in this way. They've
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: been critical of state and local officials and the response
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: as well to what happened in Minnesota, including the unrest
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: over the presence of immigration and custom enforcement agents that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: have also been attacked. The President suggesting that he might
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: invoke the Insurrection Act and deployed troops to the city
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to quell any violence. Of course, that is setting off
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the left like never before. We also know, oh the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Nlamo mar is now calling America the us GD states
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's not a joke, it's actually happening, and Chris van
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Holland defending now the violent rioters attacking ICE agents as
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: more Democrats are demanding that we abolish ICE agents. That
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is truly shocking. I want you to listen to exactly
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what he had to say in his own words on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ABC this week.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: What's happening right now is the ICE agents are the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: ones breaking the law, not the peaceful protesters. So I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: believe we should not be funding an ICE operation that
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: is completely lawless.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: There it is democrats on national TV now calling for
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: defunding ICE. Mayor Jacob Fry continue to stand by his
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: violent comments telling ICE agents to get the f out
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of Minneapolis, ABC saying, quote, do you regret that language?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: That doesn't it sound like turning the temperature down? I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: want you to listen to this exchange again, the radicals
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: on the left showing their true colors.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: You went on national television and you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Said to Ice get the f out of Minneapolis.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Do regret that language?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, that doesn't sound like a turning the temperature down.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I don't regret it at all.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Not only do they not regret it, but it's all
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: clearly planned out. Now as ICE agents are being attacked
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: by violent rioters in Minneapolis, the mayor also had this
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to say, trying to rewrite history about what actually is
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: happening there.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's important to tell the whole
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: country that this is not just about resistance here in Minneapolis,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's about love. We are showing something far more powerful
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and consequential here, which is love. We are standing up
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: for one another. You've got neighbors helping neighbors. You've got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: people uniting and coming together the other in this beautiful way.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And obviously we've got these threats out there from the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: federal government that were literally designed to intimidate Minneapolis residents,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to intimidate me.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So there it is abolish ice and go to war.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You have a governor that's referred to having a civil war.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: They want dead ICE agents. The New York Times also
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: talking about abolishing ICE has become a slogan for many
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Democrats who now say, if elected or if they gain power,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they want to abolish ICE all together. And Democrats not
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: only say abolish ICE, but they want to lock up
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the agents and charge them with crimes. We also know
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that ICE agents had to shoot a Venezuelan national in
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Minneapolis after a shovel attack during an ambush. So let
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: me get this straight. Democrats now believe ICE agents should
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: be arrested, they should be defunded, and when they're under
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: attacked by Venezuelan national with a shovel and then more
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants join in on that attack, they want to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: arrest the ICE agent, not the illegal immigrant. We also
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: know that ICE arrests in Minnesota have surged, including numerous
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: convicted child rapists and killers. That is something that the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: mayor and the governor and the media do not want
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you to know. Thank goodness. Fox News Channel had this headline,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: ICE arrests in Minnesota surging, including numerous convicted child rapists
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and killers. Criminal legal immigrants had deportation orders dating back decades.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: ICE officials on Saturday releasing a shocking list of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: worst of the worst criminals. The worst of the worst
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants arrested during the recent surge in the sanctuary
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: state of Minnesota. ICE told Fox News criminal legal immigrants
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: were roaming freely of Minnesota prior to their recent arrests,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and they have the type of people democratic politicians and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: activists are referring to as their quote unquote neighbors as
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they attempt to stop and interfere with ICE and their
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: investigations quote. Regardless of stage political theatrics, ICE is going
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: legal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere. That's what the ICE
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Director Todd Lyons wrote in a statement. Some of these
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for thirty years,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: but they've been free to terrorize the people of Minnesota.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: ICE arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: they want to attack American citizens. The White House pre
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Secretary Caroline Levitt saying this, calling the convict sick people,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: saying this is why we have ICE agents. May God
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: bless them for their thankless work to protect American communities
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: from these sick people. So there you have it, two
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: different stories. One's very clear law and order is back
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in town, and the presence doing everything he can to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: not only protect Americans from these criminals that are legal
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: immigrants terrorizing our communities, but also now investigating those that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: are aiding and abetting them. That is exactly why there's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a real investigation and whether Democrats like it or not,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and Conservatives are actually following the laws.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Now. Story number two.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Iran's president is now blaming the United States for Iran's crisis,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: accusing Washington of imposing what he described as inhumane sanctions,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: while warning that any challenge to the Supreme leader there
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the Iahtola would amount to quote an all out war
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: against the Iranian nation. Now, they've already declared war on
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump in the United States of America, even saying
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: in the last several days that they are going to
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: kill Donald Trump. Here's what was said in their response.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Quote if there is hardship and difficulties in the lives
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of the people of Iran, one of the main reasons
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: is the long standing enemy and inhumane sanctions imposed by
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the US government and its allies. And saying quote, an
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: assault on our supreme leader is tend them to an
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: all out war with the Iranian nation. Got to be clear,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: this is government propaganda. They're trying to hold it together
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: right now, and they've been killing more of the protesters.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: They're trying to convince the people in Iran that the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Great Satan, you know, the United States of America is
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: really to blame. Now. This is also coming as we
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: have movement from our government sanctions that are coming down
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: on Iran's regime. The Treasury Secretary putting it this way, saying,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: we are not only going after the leadership, but we
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: are targeting Iran's oil revenue stream. The Treasury Secretary putting
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: out this on social media, making it clear that there
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: is more to come from this administration to protect the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: people in Iran.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: President Trump has been clear Iran must stop sponsoring terror,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: halts its bloody proxy wars, and cease its pursuit of
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: nuclear weapons. That is why Treasury is taking further action
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: to degrade the Ayatola and his regime's ability to finance
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: terrorism around the world, including its growing influence in Iraq.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Treasury is sanctioning a rogue businessman and his network of
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: companies and vessels that smuggle Iranian oil disguised as Iraqi
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: oil to avoid US sanctions. This network generates over three
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: hundred million annually for Tehran smuggling of This nature allows
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Iranian oil to be sold to US allies and possibly
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: to the United States itself in violation of US sanctions.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: The United States will apply economic pressure to the maximum
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: extent possible to disrupt Iran's access to the financial resources
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: that fuel its destabilizing activities. Since President Trump retook office,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we have implemented a maximum pressure campaign. In just seven months,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: we have seen a significant decline in oil carried by
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: the Shadow Fleet vessels. We have sanctioned, reduced Tehran's profit margin,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: and made it increasingly difficult for the regime to export oil.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: The United States remains committed to an oil supply free
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: from Iran's destabilizing influence. We will continue to take action
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: against those who help fund its global campaign of terror.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Now what we also know as a Treasury secretary says
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that there are countless dollars coming out out of Iran,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: saying this on Newsmax about exactly how we're tracking the money.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Going to see to that and rob The other thing,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: as Treasury who carries out the sanctions, we can see
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: is we are now seeing the rats filling the ship
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: because we can see millions, tens of millions of dollars
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: being wired out of the country, snuck out of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: country by the Iranian leadership, So they are abandoning ship,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and we are seeing it come into banks and financial
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: institutions all over the world. And what we do with
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Treasury is we follow the money, whether it is through
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: the typical banking system or through digital assets. We are
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: going to trace these assets and they will not be
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: able to keep you'll freeze those.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So the sanctions are real. The money flowing out of
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Iran is real. Why would they be telling this story
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: to inspire the people of Iran so that they hear
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: about it. They know that the Iranian regime is collapsing,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: They know that they're afraid. They know that they're wiring
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the money out of their country by the tens of
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars, and US sanctions are helping to cripple
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Iranian leadership and their economy, which allows for more protests
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to probably happen. This is we're also watching every bit
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of their oil and the oil that's coming out of
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that country, tracking it and trying to seize it as well. So, yes,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: President Trump is all in targeting and RAN's oil revenue stream,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and the Treasury Secretary is saying we're going to degrade
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the regime's ability to carry out attacks against the United
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: States of America and its allies. How by simply doing
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the sanctions. It truly is amazing what a real leader
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: can do to topple a regime like Iran and to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: help the people in that nation. Now, anything can happen.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Let's be clear right now, one thing is very clear,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and that Donald Trump is not backing down. Instead, he's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: actually doubling down to support the people that are risking
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: their lives in the streets all over the nation of Iran.
