• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also because
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that's the same stuff that's all put out by Democrats.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Some of the naive Republicans fall right into line like
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: they always do. They just don't have the they don't
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: have the sustainability. They don't have There's something they don't
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: have that sticktuitive like glue. The Democrats, you know, they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: have bad policy, they have bad candidates, they have bad everything,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: but they stick together and the Republicans don't do that.

  Speaker 2: This is a forty seven Morning Update special edition with
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Ben ferguson.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. It is so nice to have you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: with us on the forty seven Morning Update.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: And we've got one big story with two big aspects
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: to it, Jeffrey Epstein, the Epstein files, and a shocking
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal attack on President Donald Trump. I'm going
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: to break down why the President's now saying he is
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: going to sue the Wall Street Journal. I'm also going
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: to break down what many conservatives like myself want when
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: it comes to government and transparency and why this has
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: comes such a big issue out of nowhere in the media.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: It's for one reason. They want to hurt President Donald Trump.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: All Right, I want to take a moment talk about
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: You've seen what's been happening with interest rates, and you've
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals,

• 3:25
  Speaker 4: a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: All right, let's deal comprehensively with the entire epscene scandal,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the papers, what should be put out there, and the
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: media obsessing over this story. On top of the fact
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that the Wall Street Journal has come out with a
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: massive hit piece on Donald Trump. He's now threatening to
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: sue the Wall Street Journal. Now you want to know
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: how crazy this article is. Even Chris Cuomo speaking out
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: about the Wall Street Journal's reporting, and I want you
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to listen to what he had to say.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: But I get that he's pissed off, Okay, and he's
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: not wrong. This Wall Street Journal piece is a hack job, okay.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: And he says he's suing Rupert Murdoch, who he you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: is his buddy. They have, you know, Fox kind of
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: made Trump, you know, And he's suing the journal, He's
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: suing everybody. He says he didn't write the birthday letter
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: that they're ascribing to him to Epstein for his fiftieth birthday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's so stupid, Okay. The Epstein story is
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: about abusing kids who didn't have the power or agency
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: to do anything about it. That rich and powerful people
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: may have known it was going on and they got
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: away with it. That's the story.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: It's not that Trump liked a scumbag. Okay, Now I
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: get that. In the media, this is great because it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: bad for Trump and he's going crazy and he's gonna
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: pump and move the story for the Wall Street Journal
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: right now by saying it's fake and it's wrong, but
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: it doesn't move the needle in the country. It's gonna
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: make you some money, Rupert, great for you, just what
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: you need. But this is why we can't get anywhere.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: The guy says, I didn't write the letter. The letter
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: is meaningless. You put out the piece anyway, and there's
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: no light on what really matters. Now.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The point that Cuomo, not a conservative, is making there
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: is absolutely right. Politics should not be involved in this.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: This is the reason why so many MAGA conservatives like
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: myself have been saying we want total transparency. Why because
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: we don't trust the government. Why because they've given us
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: reasons to not trust them. We have watched them weaponize
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the government to go after Donald Trump. We've watched them
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: weaponized the government to sell lies like the Russian collusion story,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to try to undermine the American people and overthrow the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: will of the people. We have witnessed them lie about
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: the Hunter Biden laptop. We've witnessed the deep state and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: all the leaders are supposed to trust the CIA and
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: other intelligence organizations sign a letter saying that the Hunter
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Biden laptop was a lie. We have witnessed them lie
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: about the money that was coming into the Biden crime family.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: We now have witnessed the media cover for the president
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: units it's America, Donald Trump. Let me rephrase that Joe
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Biden with his massive cognitive decline, but they said over
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: and over again, it wasn't happening. So this story is
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: about transparency, whether there's a list or not. I want
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: to see it all with making sure that we protect
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the victim's identities. I want to make sure that I
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: don't have to trust the deep state. I believe as
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a citizen, I deserve to know what happened. I also
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: want to know why no one else went to jail.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Can we just go over that again? Why is it
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: that no one has gone to jail except for one person?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: That's it, Maxine, all of this abuse. That is why
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: concern are angry right now. Now, Notice what the left
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: is doing. They're going all in on Epstein because they
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: think it hurts Donald Trump. They're going in not because
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: they want to protect kids, not because they want justice,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: not because they care about whoever abused children being outed
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: and exposed and maybe even indicted or arrested. Which again,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: only one person's gone to jail. No, no, no, they think
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: this now hurts Donald Trump. And again I go back
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo, a lefty saying this on
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: his show about the left, he believes is also making
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: a huge mistake.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Making a mistake going all in on this Epstein bs.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: You did nothing to release any information about this case
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: on your watch, okay, And you watched a woman go
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: down for Epstein's crimes and did nothing to add to
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: any sense of accountability for anybody else then, so going
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: all in now is obvious and gratuitous and ugly. Okay,
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: And look I get the play. This is bad for Trump,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: so we got to be all in there. You need
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: to give the majority reason to believe that you would
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: be better, not that just he is worse. Do you
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: understand that's the key, Not MAGA sucks, okay, Not that
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: they lied to you MAGA, So vote for us because
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: MAGA was formed in part out of desperation for feeling
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: that you on the left lie and don't deliver. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: this battle of attrition is just going to create two losers.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: My suggestion is be less about your opponent and more
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: about restoring opportunity, less about who is woke and more
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: about who is broke.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: And I agree, by the way, with nine percent of
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: what Coomo said there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: The left is making a mistake going all in on Epstein,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and you need to give a reason why you're better
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and they're not. I'll give you another example, Arb calling
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: out Raskin today saying you could have gotten the Epstein
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: files from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five when
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Democrats controlled the DOJ. Why didn't the Democrats call for
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the release then?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Because this is not about actual justices, about attacking Donald Trump.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: And Raskin's response was, well, there were other cases going on.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know there are pictures of Trump and Epstein.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: That's literally his response. So, in other words, Democrats didn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: care because Democrats are pos's that's what this boils down to.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: They only care now because they think this is going
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: to hurt Donald Trump.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I also want to be clear why so many conservatives
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: are frustrated right now.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I am one of them.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I am not demanding that you give me something that
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: doesn't exist. I'm not demand that you fabricate something, not
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: demand that you go out and arrest innocent people. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: am demanding transparency This should be about the victims. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: the point I would say to President Trump right now
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: if I was sitting with him, is, mister President, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: promised transparency. You did it on rfk assassination, you did
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: it on Martin Luther King, You've done it on many
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: other issues.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: The American people want the same level of transparency, even
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: if the transparency shows us nothing. I don't know if
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: there's an Epstein list. I've been told there is an
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Epstein list. I've been told that this was there for
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a long time. Now.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: If that was a lie and I was lied to,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: then show me what you do have, show me that
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: there is maybe not as much there as we thought.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: And look, I think one of the reasons why Democrats
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: talked about the Epstein list is because they kept saying
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: over and over again, Donald Trump's in the Epstein files.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's in the Epstein list. Donald. They used that
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to attack Donald Trump. If there is nothing in there,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: then fine. There's a point that's been made by as lawyers.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Most criminals don't keep records of their crimes. That may
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: be true, but there's a lot of information that's been redacted.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I want to protect the victims as many conservatives do.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: But I also think that I deserve to see more
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: than what we are seeing right now now. I think
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the presence moving towards that. I also want to be
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: clear about one other thing that's been a lie. There
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: have been people that have been saying that Donald Trump
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: can release everything, all of it instantly.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Is the president United It's America. That is a lie.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: If you talk to judges and lawyers, they will tell
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: you no.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Much of what would be released would have to be
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: approved by judges or by a judge. A great example
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: of that is all of the witnesses and all the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: people that went before the grand jury. That information would
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: have to be approved by a judge. So when they
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: tell you that Trump can give you everything, they are
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: lying to you.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: That is not true. He cannot give you everything.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: What am I asking for in so many other conservatives
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: total transparency. Whether it's nothing or whether it's something. We'll
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: figure that out. And that is the point that many
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Americans say they want and also why they voted for
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump.
