• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Is incompetently run. I guess Biden was thinking about other things,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't he. They cost a tremendous amount of money. It's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: very bureaucratic, it's very slow. Other than that, we're very
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: happy with them. I want more babies in the United
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: States of America.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Good Morning, It's Ben Ferguson. Nice to have you with
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: us on this Saturday morning. And here are the big
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: stories that we're covering coming out of the White House.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: First up, it is a victory. Pete Headgseth is officially
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: now the man in charge at the Pentagon. After Democrats
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: had everything they could and coulding lie and slander him
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: trying to stop the nomination. It didn't work, and it's
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: a big victory for MAGA. Also, Donald Trump made it
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: very clear on Friday that he was standing with all
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: victims in this country of horrific natural disasters, stopping first
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: in North Carolina where people had clearly been forgotten by
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the Biden demonstration, and then made his way all the
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: way out to California to help the people there that
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: have been dealing with the wildfires. Will have more on
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: what the President said about that, including saying it's time
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to overhaul or get rid of FEMA. And finally, Vice
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: President Jeddy Vance delivered a speech at the annual March
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: for Life rally in DC, making it very clear that
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: even if the media won't cover this event, he is
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: going to stand with the rights of unborn children. It's
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Democrats did everything they could to try to stop Pete
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Headseth from becoming the Secretary of Defense. They slandered him,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: they lied, and they used, of course anonymous sources to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: try to make him look like he was the worst
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: man in the world. Well, the good news is it
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: didn't work. After a fifty to fifty tie vote in
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: the Senate, there was one man that got to show
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: up and vote again. He even laughed about it on
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: social media. As the Vice President jady Van said, I
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: thought I was done voting in the Senate. Well he
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: showed up to cast a vote and here's what he said.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: If not on this vote, the Ya's are fifty and
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the nays are fifty, the Senate being equally divided. The
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Vice President votes in the affirmative and the nomination is confirmed.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: And just like that, it was official. Pete Headseth was
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Now what we're also learning
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: about Pete Headseth is he is bringing in some incredible
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: people around him who are already getting involved in important
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: issues like securing the southern border. How do we know this.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Heavily armed members of our military were seen flying to
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the southern border on Friday and disembarking major military aircraft
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: giving aid in support to border security the Department of
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security to pay off on the promise of making
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: America safe again at our southern border. This is just
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: one thing that the Secretary of Defense is going to
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: have to deal with. He will also have to deal
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: with what's happening in the Middle East with Israel hamas
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Hezblah and helping to wind down the war between Russia
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and Ukraine. At the end of the day, Democrats wanted
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to derail this nomination. They wanted to hurt not only
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the President of the United States of America, but they
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: wanted to destroy Pete Headseth personally. And it did not work.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So congratulations to Pete on becoming the Secretary of Defense.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And congratulations of President Trump for packing a fabulous nominee
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: to reform.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The DoD Now story Number two.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump, showing true leadership in the first few
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: days in office, made it very clear that he is
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: going to be a president for all Americans who are suffering,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: especially when it comes to natural disasters. Donald Trump said
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: politics should not have anything to do with helping Americans
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: after they deal with a disaster. Unfortunately, that is exactly
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: what has happened under the Biden administration. For the people
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: in Tennessee and North Carolina, they were the forgotten ones.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Simply put, Democrats said, who are they going to vote
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: for or who did they vote for in the past,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: And when they realized it was quote Maga country, they
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: didn't care about them at all. The complete opposite has happened, however,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: for Democrats when it comes to those in La and
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the surrounding areas that have been affected by the wildfires, well,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump said, I'm not going to do it that way,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And so he woke up this morning with the First
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Lady and immediately went to North Carolina where he listened
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to the people who had lost everything from that hurricane
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and the flooding that happened afterwards, he listened to what
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was wrong with our government response and how FEMA had
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: failed them in so many different ways. He also promised
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: that he was going to stand by them and help
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: them rebuild quickly, and even made sure that there were
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: certain point people within his administration that are going to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: take the lead. In North Carolina, the present was angry
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: about what he saw there and just how bad FEMA's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: response has been. Before he went to California, the President
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: had this to say about maybe getting rid of FEMA,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: or at the bare minimum, overhauling the agency.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Even an order on FEMA getting rid of it. Can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you say more about time to think you've an order
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to get rid of FEMA. FEMA has been a very
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: big disappointment. They cost a tremendous amount of money, it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: very bureaucratic, and it's very slow. Other than that, we're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: very happy with them, okay. And I think it's I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: think when there's a when there's a problem with the state,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I think that that problem should be taken care of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: by the state. That's what we have states for. They
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: take care of problems, and a governor can handle something
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: very quickly. You know, one of the things I've noticed
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: because I've been doing this for a while and we
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: had a pretty good FEMA. But I also noticed that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: when they come, they end up in argument. They're fighting
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: all the time over who does what. It's just it's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just not a good system. This system is so beautifully
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: designed over two hundred and fifty years approximately, you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and we'll soon be celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth year.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a very big celebration. But it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: been designed very well and we're going to leave it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that way. When North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, when
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: everybody knows the governor of Tennessee, I think everybody, do
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you you know everybody here pretty much? He's hope. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: never thought of it. But you're right over the ridge,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so you're here to help.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: That's the people in this region, including Tosey, the people
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: of bat Placia, are grateful that you are here and
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: that you haven't forgotten it. There are other disasters, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: this one was enormous for both North Carolina and Tennessee,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: so thank you.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I've seen a lot of disasters, and this
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: when I came, I came here right after the day after,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and when I came here, I couldn't believe it. Actually,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe the damage. And I've seen a lot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: This was.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: More like a tornado.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Than it was what we witnessed.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So we're going to get it very much, very much
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: taken care of. Good job.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: That's nice that you can't you hear the President saying it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Good job, And we're glad that you came and we're
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: here to help and get things fixed. This was very
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: different type of conversation North Carolina than the President had
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: when he went out to California. Donald Trump had a
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: press conference that went off the rails as Democrats tried
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: to defend their incompetency when it comes having no water
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: in the fire hydrants and not actually collecting rain water
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: in their reservoirs. What did Donald Trump have to say
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to them, take a listen.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Was incompetently run and it costs about three times more
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: than it should cost. I'm hoping we can spend money
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: on schools instead of giving money to bureaucracy. It takes
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you so much longer, that's the president. I begged you,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: so how much long enough? For helping our people? Now
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: FEMA has a standard BREAD and I'm a builder. I built,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I was a very good builder. FEMA has a standard
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that's so slow. They want permit on permit on permit,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and then they want permits on top of that. If
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you use FEMA, you'll be here for a long time.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, get the city, get the state
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to give you immediate twenty four hour permits. These people
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are going to build their own homes. They're going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: get them built fast. How many of the people, could
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I ask you one question? How many of the people?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: What are people going to do for financing? What are
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: people going to do? How many people can build a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: home a percentage wise, like where they don't have to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: go out and get funds. Some people are just not
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: going to be able to rebuild their home because they
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: have a beautiful home, but they don't have cash, right
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So what are what are people looking to do? In
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that case, you're going to have a big percentage I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: would assume bread like that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: What are they going to do?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, mister president, without your help, They're only going
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to get forty three thousand dollars from the federal government,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: even if they have a health you know, they'll take
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: something bread with. Every insurance company in the country left California.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That's why you have no insurance because you made it
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: so impossible. People that think like you made it so impossible,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and you at me every insurance company.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'll tell you about. I've never
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: seen a state where almost nobody has insurance. And they said,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: what happened? And they said, like six months ago they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: all left, and two years ago they had different you know, quadrants,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but they left, and you have very little insurance here.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen anything like it. We had
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of insurance companies pull out, but I have
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: no insurance companies actually have been warning you. Now I'm
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of insurance companies. Okay, they have
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: their big drugbacks too, but the insurance company I've been reading.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I read the papers very well, and you know, they've
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: been warning California for a long time. They've also been saying,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we want water. You don't have water. You know, you're
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: supposed to get fire insurance, and the insurance company goes
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that you don't have any what are in your fire hydrants?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So it's a tough situation. I'm not a big fan
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of insurance companies. I get that they're pulling out a Flooridad.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You lost your insurance companies six months ago because the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: state wouldn't give them what they had to have.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: This is why so many Americans voted for Donald Trump.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He is staring the people in California in the face
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: that created this disaster, and he's calling them out for
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: their incompetency. The media, by the way, was saying, oh,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the President came here to chastise people that were in need.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: If you notice the people clapping the audience with the homeowners,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: they were thankful that Donald Trump was there. Don't buy
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the media narrative on this one. Donald Trump is speaking
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: truth to the incompetent leaders in California and the citizens
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: were cheering him on today.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three, there was a major story.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: On Friday that happened. It's a story that the media
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: did not cover. You will not see or read what
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I'm about to tell you in ninety nine percent of
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the media coverage of what happened on Friday in America.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: That's why I do this show for you every day.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Vice President J. D. Vance delivered a speech, an important
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: speech at the annual March for Life rally in Washington,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: d C. Where he emphasized his desire for more babies
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: in the United States of America. What a novel idea.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: He also criticized the nation's culture of abortion on demand.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: He advocated for a society that supports families and values
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: life at all stages, highlighting the importance of assisting young
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: couples in raising thriving and healthy families. Vance also celebrated
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the administration's recent decision to limit the prosecution of anti
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: abortion activists. Is what the left will call them, when
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: in reality they were prayer warriors. They were by the
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: entrances of reproductive health clinics, and what did the Department
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of Justice do? They went after them like they were terrorists,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and many of them received pardons from the President this
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: week as well. In his address, Vance underscored the administration's
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: commitment to protecting unborn children and fostering what he described
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: as a culture that celebrates life, aligning with President Trump's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: message to the rally, which reaffirmed support for pro life
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: initiatives and the protection of women and children. Simply put,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the Vice President said this, So let me say.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Very simply, I want more babies in the United States
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of America.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Sometimes simple lines like that can state so much about
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: what an administration values. This administration values life, and they're
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: willing to stand up for life and protect it and
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: also pardon those that were persecuted for standing up for life.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Praying at abortion clinics another job well done in the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: first week of President Trump forty seven's administration.
