  Speaker 1: We're going to keep Bogram, the big airbase, that one
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of the biggest airbases in the world. We gave it
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to them for nothing. We're trying to get it back,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, Okay, that could be a little breaking news.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get it back because they need things
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: from us. We want that base back.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update. And here are two big
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: stories that we're covering this morning that you need to
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: know about. First up, Donald Trump announcing that the US
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: is trying to get Bogram Air Base back from the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Taliban in Afghanistan. Why is this so important, Well, it
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: deals with China, and I'll give you the details in
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: just a moment. Also, you would think that Democrats would
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: have learned from their rhetoric and stop using certain words
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Well, apparently they haven't
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: learned anything. And now Hillary Clinton is out there on
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the front lines activating the radical left and using words
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: like fascists already. But before I get to that, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: want to talk to you about my friends at Kirk
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I got my new
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: order of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right now
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: because the pricing on it is amazing and the upside well,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: it's real. I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: It is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: one hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: it at the right price and I wasn't paying massive
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: up charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: when you go to sell them, you take away all
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of your earning potential. Why do they do it this
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing up front.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: you sell. There are no hidden fees ever with Kurt
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Elliott Precious Metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: It's not just about investing, it's about making sure you
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: get more for your money. And that is exactly why
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Kurt Elliott helps people all the time. Whether it's gold
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: or silver, you can hold it, be a good steward
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: of it, you can pass it on to future generations,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: and you can build wealth with it. It's real bollyon,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver, No overpriced coins,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: no flashy markups. And it's a company that I love
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: because they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: just honest care. They treat every client like family, offering
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: honest answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions. Now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: if you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and silver with an eternity mindset, visit ke PM dot
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: com slash ben. That's k e PM dot com slash ben.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: You can also call them seven to two zero six
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: thirty nine hundred. That's seven two zero six o five
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: thirty nine hundred. So let's faithfully steward what God has
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: given so you can experience real peace now and for
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: generations to come. KPM dot com slash Ben. It's the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: There's a very important story that has just broken and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: no one is covering it, and that is the fact
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: that the President United States of America Donald Trump, is
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: now trying to get the Bogram airbase back from the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Taliban in Afghanistan. The President says that Bogram airfield is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: an hour away from where China is making its nuclear weapons,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: all the more reason why he says we need to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: get it back. I want you to listen to what
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the President had to say as he was over in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the UK and asked about it by the press.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Except that he didn't respect the leadership of the United States.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: They just went through the Afghanistan total disaster for no
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: reason whatsoever. We're going to leave Afghanistan, but we're going
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to leave it with strength and dignity, and we're going
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to keep Bagram, the big air base, that one of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest airbases in the world. We gave it to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: them for nothing. We're trying to get it back. By
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the way, okay, that could be a little breaking news.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get it back because they need things
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: from us. We want that base back. But one of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the reasons we want the base is, as you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's an hour away from which China makes its nuclear weapons.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: This might be one of the most important stories of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the year when it comes to national security. Trying to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: get it back. Saying that Afghanistan and they need stuff
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: from us. That is called the r of the deal
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and leverage and in these remarks the press, while standing
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: alongside the UK Prime Minister Starmer the present criticized the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And that's when he said, I've got a little breaking news.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: We're trying to get it back. They need things from
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: us now. Trump did not expand on whom he was
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: referring to, or if he was referring to talking to
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the Taliban, that is, the terrorist organization that took over
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the country in twenty twenty one. What they need from
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the United States of America is another question that people
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: should be asking. What he did say is we want
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the base back and why because it's about our national
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: security with China and its nuclear weapons being made. As
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: he mentioned, they're very close, just one hour away now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: The White House has also not commented on this story
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: more than what the President has just said in the UK.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: But what we do know is Back in March, Fox
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: News reported that the White House Hostage Envoy met in
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: person with Taliban officials at the Kabul International Airport as
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: he worked to secure the release of George Glesman. Sources
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: also confirmed that this was the first direct meeting between
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a US administration and the terrorists run government since the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: collapse of Kabul in twenty twenty one, as we had
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that disastrous pull out of Afghanistan under Biden's leadership. A
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: report by the way by the AP also later said
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: that the Taliban were allegedly interested in normalizing ties with
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the US after experiencing a virtual geopolitical blackout in international
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: diplomacy over its immense human rights abuses. We also know
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: that the envoy, along with others that were there, met
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: with the Taliban's foreign minister and reportedly discussed ways to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: quote develop bilateral relations between the two countries, issues related
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: to citizens and investment opportunities in Afghanistan that according to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a Taliban statement, So this is not something that just
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: happened overnight. Clearly the President's been working on this quietly
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: for quite some time now. The removal of US troops
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: from Afghanistan and began during the first Trump administration in
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: March of twenty twenty, and open source intelligence showed that
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the Taliban had been making gains across Afghanistan in the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: year leading up to the twenty twenty one August disasters.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Withdraw under the Biden leadership. Now Under the deal forged
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: by the first Trump administration, the US agreed to withdraw
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: all US forces by May one of twenty twenty one,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: but Biden extended the withdrawal date to August of twenty
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: twenty one, and then we saw him do the pullout.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Why because he wanted to celebrate that he's the one
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: that ended America's longest war on the anniversary of nine
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to eleven, regardless of what was going on on the ground,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and there were lots of warnings that it was not
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: ready for us to leave. So here we are with
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: a president of the United States of America that wanted
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: American troops out all along, but also now we're trying
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to just one hour away making their nuclear weapons. It
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: is in our national interest, in our national security interests,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we do everything we can to
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: get back Bogram Air Base, and that's why the President
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: brought it up for the first time publicly.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Now. Story number two.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Democrats have not learned a damn thing about their rhetoric
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In fact, if you
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: look at what they're saying, it's pretty clear they're doubling
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: down on their radical words. And trying to inspire others.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton now getting in on the action. She has
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: sparked a social media firestorm for promoting a book literally
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: warning about fascists and sick people. Clinton is ripping now authoritarians,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: referencing Donald Trump while promoting the new book from Teachers
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: at Union chief Randy Winingarden, the former Secretary of State
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and presidential candidate Quinton is getting blasted as she should
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: on social media for posting a picture supporting the American
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Federation of Teachers president the chief's new book that suggests
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: her political opponents are in fact fascists. Congratulations, Hillary Clinton
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: said to my friend on quote. Why fascists fear teachers
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: from banning books to controlling curriculum. Authoritarians go after public
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: education because it's a quarterstone of democracy. Those are the
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: exact words posted by Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, along with
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the picture of the American Federation of Teachers chief holding
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the book. Randy's new book is a critical read for
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: this moment. She also wrote clearly talking about it, knowing
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: what had just happened to Charlie Kirk. Clinton was criticized
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: instantly by many conservatives online for the posts, which they
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: argue canntinue the smear campaign against political opponents that many
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: believe contributed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Why because
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: these are the words that are used by the assassin.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: It's been one week since Charlie Kirk was murdered by
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: a lunatic who wrote about fascists on the shell casings.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Is what one Republican said online. Now Randy has a
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: new book arguing everyone who disagrees with her views on
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: public education, which have destroyed public education in America, is
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: a fascist American culture project. Senior fellow writing this on X,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton and Randy Wingarden are going full speed ahead
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: with this disgusting rhetoric right after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Sick people.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk was murdered exactly one week ago. Another conservative online,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: a friend of mine, Jack Pisovic, said, and here's Hillary
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Clinton today. They wrote an entire book on a word
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: they don't even understand. Is what another member of the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Huntington Beach City Council said on X the Room. That's
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: why y'all should read. Is what the Washington Free Beacon
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: investigative reporter Chick Ross also said yet Hillary Clinton knew
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: what she was doing. She knew that this moment was
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: a moment she could bring people together, and instead she
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: wanted to make sure she incited more violence, using the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: words to undermine any conservative out there and to justify
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: another assassination. Democrats Hillary Clinton and Randy Weingartner are still
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: suggesting Republicans are fascists, an account belonging to the Republican
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: National Committee put out so eloquently on x They really
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: can't help themselves, can they now. Fox News reached out
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to Clinton's office for comment on her post, which has
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: now racked up more than two million views. Guess what,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: they didn't have time to get back for comment. Have
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: they read the book? Is what Winegarten said in a
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: statement to Fox News Digital. If they did, they discover
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: it's a love letter to teachers. Winegarden's book, which hits
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: bookshelves this week, elaborates on reviews on battling what she
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: says is fascist ideology and how it works to undermine democracy, opportunity,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and public education as we know it. By the way,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: we know that public education has been a total disaster,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: and if you're a parent, that shows up your school
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: board meetings. The last administration of the FBI classified you
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: as a domestic terrorist. Now what is in the book, Well,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: here's more of it. Attacks on schools and teachers have
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: long been a hallmark of fascist regimes, clearly referencing Donald Trump.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Throughout history, as many dictators rose to power, they began
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: banning books and controlling curriculum. The book's preview reads, fascist
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: fear teachers because teachers foster and education and educated and
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: empowered population that can see past the propaganda and the
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: scare tactics. Fascists fear teachers because they teach young people
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: how to think for themselves. Now, let's be clear. The
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party has taken over the education system. It's where
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: they've indoctrinated children to be ashamed of America, not be
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: proud of it. It's where they've indoctrinated children to hate
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: this country. It's where they've indoctrinated children to believe that
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: anyone that disagrees with them is somehow instantly a fascist
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: or a Nazi or Adolf Hitler, and they should be
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: taken out. We also know the youngest generation, forty two
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: percent of them say in new polling that it is
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: appropriate to use violence to go after people you disagree with,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: as long as you justify as saying you're trying to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: stop evil. This is the Democratic Party, and if you
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: think for a moment they're gonna stop actually doing these
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: types of things and learn from the assassination Charlie Kirk,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: your wrong. They look at this as a success and
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: they're still using the same words that were used by
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the assassin to justify the killing of one of our own.
