  Speaker 4: Okay, you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Ben ferguson.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It's so nice to have you with us on the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: forty seven Morning Update. And here are the two very
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: big stories we have for you today. First out, Donald
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Trump warning America about a one hundred percent communist lunatic
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that radicals in New York City have chosen to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: their nominee to become the mayor. Just how dangerous is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this individual? Will break down what he believes in and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: why Donald Trump is warning you that the Democratic Party
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is dead and the communists, socialists, and Marxists.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Have taken over.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Also, in shocking testimony before Congress that the media is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not reporting on a former Biden Ade says quote she
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: does not know who ordered President Biden's auto pen signatures.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Will give you the details on what all she said
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to Congress and why this story is being hidden from you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Story number one, President Trump weighing in on the New
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: York City mayor's race where Mondani has had a big win.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Who is he has?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Trump described it a one hundred percent communists lunatic, the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: President calling the New York City mayor o primary a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: big moment in the history of our country. And why
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: because of what is actually happening now. I've been saying
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for quite some time that I thought the Democratic Party
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: was dead. It's actually filled with marx Socialists and communists,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: many of them too afraid to tell you the truth
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of who they are, so they claim they're a Democrat.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But think back over the last fifty years, look at
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the leaders of the Democratic Party. They were anti communist crusaders,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in fact, even Catholic.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And what do they do.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Well, if you look at JFK, he was a man
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that wanted to actually take America to outer space to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: be first. Well, today it's a foreign born communist, Muslim
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: transactivist who says he wants to defund the police that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is advocating for. You have to ask
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: yourself the question, how did we get to this point
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: where there was so much decay. It's actually a pretty
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: easy answer. Democrats changed their voters by importing massive amounts
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants from third world socialists and communist countries
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and then appealing to their extremist ideologies that they grew
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: up under. They destroyed what the Democratic Party was. Now
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what you see is a Democratic party that is dead,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and the Democrats are the ones that actually killed it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So what does this man actually believe? Well, he's a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: thirty three year old Democratic Socialist and a current state
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: assemblyman in New York. He is an individual that believes
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in quote free public transit buses, along with freezing subway fares.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He also wants a rent freeze, taking away the rights
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of those that own property. He wonts city run grocery
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: stores in every bureau, taking away the private sector so
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you'll have what they have in Russia or Venezuela or
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: any of the other socialists or communist countries around the world.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He is demanding thirty dollars minimum wage as well and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: higher taxes, saying it's time for the quote rich you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to pay their fair share, increasing corporate tax plus a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: two percent city income tax sir tax on all millionaires
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to fund what he describes as universal childcare. He also
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: wants her to be free transit and free housing. Now,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: if you're an opponent of these radical ideas, like Donald Trump,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: then you argue simply, this businesses are going to run
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for the hills. It's going to destabilize New York's economy.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem to matter to the socialists and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Marxist. President Trump put it this way on true
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: social quote. We've had radical lefties before, but this is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: getting a little ridiculous. He looks terrible, he's not very smart.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: He's got AOC plus three dummies all backing him, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: even our great Palestinian senator crying, Chuck Schumer is groveling
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: over him. The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who's Jewish,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is not of Palestinian heritage, and the House Majority Leader
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries. Now they said, who cares, both congratulating the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: radical socialists on Wednesday morning and vowed to meet with
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: state lawmakers. Of course, they stop short of, you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: endorsing him. So here's the bottom line. This man represents
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a r a dramatic shift towards a bold progressive agenda
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in New York. He's advocating sweeping reforms in transit, housing, taxation,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: social services, LGBTQ plus and trans health support that you,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the taxpayer, will pay for, and he's proposed sixty five
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: million in funding for that alone. Meanwhile, yet he says
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he's not extremists, he's just a man listening to the people. Well,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when you import millions of illegal immigrants into New York,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what you get. The ideology is extreme
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party is dead. I'll give you one
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: example of what he had to say on MSNBC, as
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he said, we built a campaign around one idea to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: make New York City affordable again. In translation, that means
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: take from the rich and give free stuff to the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: poor that voted for him in the primary.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: As I'm sure you know, you probably haven't consumed all
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: of it, I suppose, but there's been a lot of analysis,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: a ton on what your success last night and in
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks means nationally for the Democratic Party. Unquestionably,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: it means something about how people campaign. But what do
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: you think it means.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: I think it is part of a larger referendum on
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: where our party goes. And I think one of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: hopes that we had from the very beginning of this
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: campaign was to move our political instinct from lecturing to listening.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: You know, at the national level, after the presidential election,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: we saw that New York was actually the state with
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: the largest swing in the country towards Donald Trump eleven
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: and a half points, and that that swing took place
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: far from the caricature of Trump voters, instead taking place
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: in the hearts of immigrant New York City. And I
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: went to those neighborhoods. I went to Fordham Road in
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: the Bronx and Hillside Avenue in Queens, and I asked
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: those New Yorkers, the vast majority of whom were Democrats,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: why they voted for Trump and what it would take
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: to bring them back to the Democratic Party. And again
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: and again what I heard from them was cost of living,
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: was an inability to afford the very things they were
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: called being able to purchase four years ago. And when
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: they told me what it would take, they said again
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: and again the relentless focus on an economic agenda. And ultimately,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: in listening to them, we built a campaign that was
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: explicitly about making this city affordable. And I think too
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: often in politics there's a desire to impose what you
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: think the debate is upon the people that you're seeking
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: to represent as opposed to listening to the very issues
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: that are making it difficult for them to keep calling
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: the city that they love, the city that they live in.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You look at all of what he just said there,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and what you really have to go back to is
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that one statement what I heard from them was cost
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of living was an inability to afford the very things
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they recall being able to purchase four years ago. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the response to that is we're going to take from
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the rich and we're going to give to the poor.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But what really got him across the finish line is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: this Steven Miller at the White House putting this out
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on next saying, quote to understand the pace and the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: scope of migration to America in the past years. One
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: third of New York City is now foreign born, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: almost two thirds of New York City children live in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a foreign born household. Yes, they've imported new voters into
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: New York City. This is how the Democratic Party is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: planning on changing the entire country. This is why they
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: had open borders, and this is why the Biden administration allowed.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Radicals to come into this country.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Or to put it another way, take a listen to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Jesse Waters on Fox The Pursuit.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: It wasn't just what he was selling, it was how
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: he sold it. Jesse, he is very prolific on social media,
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: especially TikTok, and his mother is a film producer, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: many of his ads and the things that they put
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: up on social media were very attractive. They had the
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: merch and it became like a vibe campaign, which helped
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: put him over the edge.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you can't blame the blacks and Hispanics they
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: voted for Cuomo. You got to blame the whites. They
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: wanted communism and they got it. They loved communism in
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: college and then they graduated with no skills and two
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars in debt, and they came into a city.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: It's hard to get ahead with high prices. So they
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: see this kid on TikTok. Anybody's going to soak the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: rich and he's going to control prices, and they say
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: that's my guy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So he gets into the city all and then what
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: He's just going to attack the country cops and capitalism.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: He's just going to cause more crime and chaos. He's
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: going to turn the prisons inside out, and he's going
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to turn whole foods into no foods. This is what
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: happens when you let the wacky wing of the Democrat
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Party run wild. This is what the Democrat establishment's been
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: trying to keep a lid on for decades since Occupy
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Wall Street. Biden tried to keep a lid on it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Cuomo couldn't keep a lid on it. This is the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Bernie bro Dave hog AOC faction that's now going to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: run wild all over the place. And you're basically giving this.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I guess he's a Muslim communist from another country. City
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Hall in the best city in the world. This is
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the financial capital of the world.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It's the biggest city in.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: America, and you're going to run a communist out. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: thought I was right when I said we'd hit rock
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: bottom with build a Block.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I was wrong, and it takes a big man to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: admit they were wrong. But I was wrong.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And so this guy is going to do his thing,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and thank god I left for Jersey.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The takeaway is this, and there's a big important point
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and a warning for the rest of the country, a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: warning that Donald Trump brought up today. The commentary about
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: New York City Democrats nominating an anarchist socialist for mayor.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Amits one point how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the New
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: York City electorate. Democrats change politics by changing the voters.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That's how you turn a city the defined US dominance
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: into what we're witnessing right now now.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Story number two.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There is a very important story that is getting virtually
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: no coverage right now. So I hope all of you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: will share this information wherever you can. And that is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the shocking admission by a former Biden aid announcing that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: she does not know who ordered President Biden's auto pen signatures.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Nira Tendon, a former Top eight president Joe Biden, told
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Congress under oath that she had authorization to direct auto
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: pen signatures for the president, but doesn't know who gave
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the final order. Tendon served as the director of Biden's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Domestic Policy Council, and she told Congress during testimony that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the President used an automatic signature tool allowing for aids
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to sign pardons, sign memos, and other official documents in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the White House. Tanam said she did not know who
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: authorized any of those signatures. During her interview before Congress,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the former president between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that she was authorized to direct autopen signatures on behalf
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of Biden. An Oversight Committee official has confirmed this now
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to Fox News. Tennen, who reportedly said during her testimony
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that she had quote limited interactions with Biden in her role,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: even though she was a senior advisor that, according to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sources familiar with her testimony, described an approval process that
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: left her at least partly in the dark about who
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: specifically was giving final approval on the decisions to use
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the automatic signature tool, even though she'd simultaneously insisted quote
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Biden was in charge. Tenen reportedly testified that it get
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: approval for the use of auto pen signatures, she would
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: send decision memos to members of Biden's inner circle. Now
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: remember these are people elected by no one. She added
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that she was not aware of what actions or what
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: approvals took place between the times she sent the decision
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: memo and the time she received it back with the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: necessary approval. According to sources, famil failure with what happened
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in this testimony a minority member of the Oversight Committee
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: called Tandem's characterization quote a lie with a statement from
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a former White House staffer saying that they received quote
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a written sign off from Biden on every executive action
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: she presented with him. The only problem is she's under
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: oath and saying that's not how it went down at all.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Any other characterization is a distortion of the testimony the Biden.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Former Biden officials stated. Quote to insinuate that Nira Tanem
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: said President Biden did not approve every single presidential decision
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and sign off on every executive action coming out of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the White House is a lie. Well, she sang that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it's the truth. Tenem's attorney agreed with the staffer, adding
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: that the autopens were used after Biden approved the decisions,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: saying this in a cleanup statement, the autopen was used
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: only after President Biden personally through the decision. Aids at
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: no time sign these documents on President Biden's behalf. Again,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that's not what her testimony was under oath. So just
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: know this is the big story that we should be
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: talking about, and also know that the media will not
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: touch the fact that a former Biden aid does not
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: know this is her testimony who ordered the present's auto
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: pen signatures.
