• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Over the past two hundred and fifty years. We're going
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to have a big, big celebration, as you know, two
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years. In some ways, I'm glad I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: missed that second term where it was because I wouldn't
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: be your president for that most important of all. In addition,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine I missed that four years and now
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: look what I have. I have everything amazing the way
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: things worked out.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Nice to have you with us on the forty seven
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Morning Update, and here are the three big stories that
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: you need to know about to start your day. First up,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: the FEDS have pulled the COVID vaccine from recommendations for
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: healthy children and healthy pregnant women. Don't worry the media
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: freaking out over this decision and the left saying everyone
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: is anti vax around Donald Trump.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: We'll give you the actual details.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Of what was said by RFK Junior and other and
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: you'll be surprised to learn that yet again, the media
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: is lying to you. Up next, poll numbers looking great
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: for Donald Trump as he's maintaining a two month high.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: This is The President also goes on offense and says,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: remember some of the stuff that they kind of just
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: made go away in the last administration, like who was
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: actually running the country or what was going on with.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: The cocaine at the White House.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Well, the President says, it's time to look at all
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: of that again. I'll have those details that'll make you
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: smile in just a second. And finally, President Trump, yet
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: again proving he wasn't joking when he said he was
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: going to be looking at where your tax dollars are going.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: This time, he says it's time to cut off the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: funding to Harvard, and Harvard is now fighting back. We'll
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: have that and how much money it could save you
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: in just a second. But first, before we get to
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: those stories, I want to tell you about the International
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and we are seeing something
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: truly disturbing. Anti Semitism is on the rise, not only
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: around the world, but sadly right here in America. Jewish
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: schools are being targeted, synagogues are being threatened, and families
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: living in fear is a real thing in the Jewish community.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: It's something we hoped we'd never see again in our lifetime,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: but unfortunately, it's what's happening right now. And that's why
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: it's not an option to be silent. It's a time
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: for us to take a stand. And that's why I
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: want you to stand with the International Fellowship of Christians
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and Jews. They're on the front lines providing real help
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: where it's needed the most. They're literally giving food and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: shelter to Jewish families under threat. They're building bomb shelters
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: for children and helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And they don't just respond to crisis, they work every
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: day to prevent it from happening. And that is where
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: your simple gift of only forty five dollars will help
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: support life saving work by helping provide food, shelter, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: so much more. The Bible is pretty clear, it says
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I will bless those who bless you, and supporting the
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: IFCJ is a spiritual stand and it's showing up for
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: God's people when it counts. So, if you're ready to
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: stand with the people of Israel, call the IFCJ right now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Eight A eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: eight four eight eight.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Four three two five, or give securely online at IFCJ
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: dot org.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Every dollar helps.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Don't wait be the difference if CJ dot org or
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ. It's the forty
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: seven Morning Update and it starts right now, story number one.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: If you want to know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: How easy it is to get the radical f to
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: lose their minds, all you got to do is do
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: what the US Health Secretary Robert F. Kenny Junior did yesterday,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: announcing the removal of routine COVID nineteen vaccination recommendations four
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: number one healthy children and number two pregnant women from
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: the CDC's immunization schedule. Now, to be clear, he didn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: ban the COVID vaccine or booster. He didn't ban any
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: other vaccines either, But the left is saying that is
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: exactly what he decided to do.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Take a listen to rfk Junior in his own words.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Hi, everybody, I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Your age age
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: as the Secretary, and I'm here today with NIH Director
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: doctor J. Bodicharia and FDA Commissioner doctor Marty McCarey. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: couldn't be more pleased to announce that, as of today,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: has been removed from the CDC Recommended immunization schedule. Last year,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: support the repeat booster strategy in children.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: countries have stopped recommending it for children.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: to make America healthy again.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Make America healthy again. That was the promise of Donald Trump.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Now let's be clear also about the facts. In this announcement.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: The US is now joining several other nations in tailoring
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: COVID nineteen vaccination strategies to prioritize high risk groups, potentially
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: streamlining public health efforts. There's also an emphasis on data
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: driven decisions. The FDA commissioner there you heard, highlight the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: lack of evidence supporting the need for routine COVID nineteen
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: vaccinations in healthy children, suggesting a move towards more evidence
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: based recommendations, and they also talked about resource optimization. By
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: concentrating vaccination resources on populations most at risk, such as
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions, the health
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: care system may enhance its efficiency and effectiveness in combating
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: COVID nineteen. Also because of this move and finally, increasing
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: public autonomy, the policy change will empower individuals as well
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: as families to make personalized health decisions regarding COVID nineteen
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: vaccinations moving forward. The administration says this will foster a
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: sense of autonomy and trust in public health directives again
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: after so many Americans lost faith in the system completely,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: especially with the mandates and the lack of the effectiveness
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of the COVID nineteen vaccine schedule. Our FK Junior make
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: it clear this is part of Donald Trump's plan to
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: make a mayor Ceria healthy again.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Next story number two.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's approval rating is now maintaining a two month high. Yes,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the media has done everything they can to bring down
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's approval rating, but it doesn't seem to be working,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: as the American people seem to be listening to the
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: media like it as white noise. And on Tuesday, the
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: economists and UGUB published their determination of President Donald Trump's
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: approval rating outlining then among US adults between May the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: twenty third and twenty six, forty four percent approved of
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: then if you look at Newsweek, the results from the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: publication reflected also a two month high for its polling.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Rasmussen also as Trump at fifty to fifty one percent
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: approval rating firm the Memorial Day weekend. The approval rating
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: is inching up because the economy has stabilized and Trump
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: has put a pause on his most draconian tariffs which
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: were unpopular. That is what Dular University professor Robert Collins
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: said in a backhanded compliment to Newsweek about Donald Trump.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You can't make it up. Even when his approval.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Rating is up, they still got to figure out a
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: way to bring him down. So what does this mean
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: for the White House moving forward? Well, the White House
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Press Secretary went on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Channel and had this to say about the present's approval
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: rating and what he's going to do when it comes
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: to moving forward running the country, and also looking back
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: at things that happened during the Biden administration and asking
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: basic questions like who is actually running the government because
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: it wasn't Joe Biden.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Well, that rasped me some pole.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: You refer to the percentage of Americans who say the
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: country's on the right track is the highest number that
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: they have surveyed in their twenty nine year polling history,
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: which I found significant. Let me ask you about the
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: TRUMPBI reopening investigations into the Supreme Court abortion decision leak,
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: the Biden White House cocaine scandal that lasted a whopping
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: what ten days, and the January sixth pipe bomber mystery.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: It seems like the administration is going back and getting
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: to the bottom of some unfinished business.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Yes, all of those announcements coming from the FBI cash Ptel,
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: and of course our great Attorney General Pam Bondi, who
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: is committed to the truth sean, just like the President
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Trump and his entire administration, and committed to an unprecedented
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: level of access and transparency that is led by President
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: Trump at the White House. Every day he takes questions
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: from the press. He talks directly and honestly and candidly
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: about the problems and the challenges he is solving, not
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: just here at home but also abroad, and he's demanding answers.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: And one of the things he is going to continue
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: to push for answers on is who the heck was
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: running the country.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Over the past four years.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: And you just talked about it in your monologue, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I'm glad to hear it, because this is truly the
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: great latest political scandal our country has ever seen. We
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: had unelected radical left White House staffers who nobody knew
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: their names, running the most powerful country in the history
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: of the world, and the Democrat Party was in a
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: complete alliance to cover it up, and the mainstream media
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: was right along with them. They were asking Joe Biden
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: what his favorite ice cream was rather than asking him
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: whether or not he was suited to run the country.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: And so we need answers on what took place over
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: the past four years, because look at the consequences of
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: having these unelected radical left wing saffers in the West
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: wing running the country. We had a wide open border
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: invasion that this administration is cleaning up every day despite
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: challenges from the courts. We had an economy that was
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: left in the dust.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: You just heard the White House Press Secretary say Donald
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Trump is going to push for answers on who is
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: running the country during Biden's presidency. Now, all of this
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: relates back to the numerous books that are now coming out,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: including the original Sin and the book by Jake Tapper
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: that alleges that President Biden's cognitive decline was concealed by
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: his inner circle, suggesting that a group of top aides
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: effectively manage the administration's day to day operations. Another way
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: of putting that is they were running the country and
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: they were elected by no one. Tapper even compared this
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: alleged cover up to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing the seriousness
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: of the claims. Now, further reports are also indicating during
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Biden's presidency there were five at senior aids that were
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: primarily responsible for a significant amount of decision making, with
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Biden serving more as a figurehead than anything else. Now,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: these revelations have spark discussions about transparency and accountability within
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the previous administration of exactly who was really the acting president. Now,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: while these accounts have led to public debate and scrutiny,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: this is the first time we're hearing the White House
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: say that they're going to push for answers. Now, is
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: there a formal investigation by the Trump administration into these matters.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: At the moment, no, but this certainly could lead to one,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: as the White House is now signaling that the American
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: people deserve to have answers and most importantly need to
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: know and should know who was running the country. There's
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: also the question of the auto pen and many of
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: the pardons that were given out by Joe Biden. Did
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: he even know that it was happening?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Did he have.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Any clue at all what was going on? And we
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: also know that many around Biden that were propping him up,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: we're apparently doing it just for the money.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Many of the key advisors around Joe Biden's campaign were
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: making millions of dollars. They didn't want him to end
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the campaign. They wanted him to keep running so they
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: could keep getting paid. So there were some people that
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: were just making cash. There were others that were getting
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: to literally play pressident. And what does Kamway Harris have
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: to say about all this, Well, she had another word
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: salad and decided to take some swipes at Elon Musk
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: and Donald Trump, saying, remember the nineteen thirties, in reference
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: to Nazi Germany, and Adolf Hitler.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I wish I was joking. Here she is in her
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: own words.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: I do worry, frankly about what's happening right now in
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: our world. I do worry that it is important that
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: we remember history.
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: It's important we remember the nineteen thirties. It's important that
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: we remember that history has taught us that isolation does
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: not equal insolation. It is important that we understand and
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: remember history, which taught us the interdependence and interconnection between nations,
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: history that has taught us the important relationships of trust.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: So the same woman that helped cover up the massive
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: cognitive decline of the President of the United States of America,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden, the same woman that was elected by no one,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: who ended up being the party's nominee that no one
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: actually voted for, is now saying don't look at what
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: we were doing.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, We're going to.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Tell you that Donald Trump's administration is no different than
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: You remember the nineteen thirties.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: It is truly amazing to watch the Left do everything
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: they can to cover up their corruption at the White
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: House for the last four years.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: And finally, story number three It's.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: A pretty simple idea.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: If you hate the United States of America, why should
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: we let you come to America's universities, especially if you're
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: advocating for violence against Jewish students or even a American students. Well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: worth approximately one hundred million dollars now. This move follows
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: earlier measures, including the freezing of over two point six
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: billion in federal research grants citing concerns over the university's
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: policies and campus climate. Now, the aspects of the policy
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: change are actually very simple. The reallocation of resources is
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: number one. The administration's decision aims to redirect substantial federal
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: funds to institutions that align more closely with its policy objectives,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: potentially benefiting trade schools and other educational entities. They also
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: say there's an emphasis on accountability. By scrutinizing Harvard's use
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: of federal funds, the administration underscores the importance of account
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: of ability and also adherence to national standards and higher
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: education institutions, and then the promotion of diverse educational opportunities.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: The potential redistribution of funds, the White House say, may
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: enhance vocational and technological training programs, offering countless students alternative
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route and
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: or going to an.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Ivy League school.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: There's also the encouragement of institutional self reliance. The funding
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: cuts may prompt elite universities, they say, to seek greater
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: financial independence, foster innovation efficiency, and management resources. Now, these
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: actions are sparking legal challenges as the universities are angry
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: over what's happening. But at the end of the day,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the White House also says this comes down to another issue,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: and that is, are we actually encouraging students from around
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: the world to come to the US that love America
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: and do it want to be a part of the process,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: or are tax dollars going to students that actually hate America?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: And that brings up the State Department pausing visa interviews
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: as Trump moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: more of that story as CNN freaked out over it news.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: And a major escalation in the Trump administration's fights against
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: America's universities, the State Department pausing all new student visa
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: application interviews, and while that pause is in place, the
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: government is developing new guidance for social media screenings of
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: foreign students who want to study in the US. This
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: cause to the White House moves to cancel all remaining
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: those contracts are worth about one hundred million dollars. This
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: on top of more than two billion dollars in grants
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: that the administration froze last month, and on Monday, the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: President threatened to give that money to trade schools. Here's
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Harvard's president in an interview that was taped before news
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: broke about those latest contract cancelations.
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: I don't know fully what the motivations are, but I
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: do know that there are people who are fighting a
• 18:12
