Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: How need to do with what? What were they talking about?
- 0:04Speaker 1: Give me the attack on that it is, well, it
- 0:06Speaker 1: couldn't have been very effective, because the attack was very effective.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I can tell you that thanks.
- 0:10Speaker 2: To President Trump's directive, we are seeking the doubt penalty
- 0:13Speaker 2: again and the drug dealers need to get out of
- 0:15Speaker 2: here because we're coming after you.
- 0:18Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
- 0:21Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning Update,
- 0:24Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories
- 0:26Speaker 4: that we're covering this morning. First up, there is an
- 0:30Speaker 4: accusation of a significant security breach involving senior officials from
- 0:35Speaker 4: Donald Trump's administration. Well, the Defense Segretary Pete Hedgseth is
- 0:39Speaker 4: now fighting back claiming that the journalist Jeffree Goldberg, who
- 0:43Speaker 4: says that he was inadvertently included in a text message group,
- 0:48Speaker 4: is not telling the truth. I'll have the details on
- 0:51Speaker 4: that in just a second. Also, Donald Trump is doing
- 0:54Speaker 4: exactly what he claimed he was going to do, build
- 0:57Speaker 4: businesses in America and bring manufacting back to America. He
- 1:02Speaker 4: just secured a twenty one billion dollar Hyundai investment and
- 1:07Speaker 4: he's not done there. I'll give you the details on
- 1:09Speaker 4: that as well. And finally, you may have noticed that
- 1:12Speaker 4: the media is all using the same words as Democratic
- 1:16Speaker 4: lawmakers to attack Elon Musk over the last week. We
- 1:20Speaker 4: have a montage on that to show you just how
- 1:22Speaker 4: corrupt the Democratic leadership is and working with the media.
- 1:27Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Story number one.
- 1:32Speaker 4: There is a bombshell report that is out right now
- 1:35Speaker 4: and the media is absolutely loving every minute of it.
- 1:38Speaker 4: They're claiming there was a major security breach occurred when
- 1:42Speaker 4: the Trump administration officials accidentally included a journalist by the
- 1:46Speaker 4: name of Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic in a group
- 1:49Speaker 4: chat where they were discussing secret US military plans to
- 1:53Speaker 4: strike Hoothy targets and Yemen. The chat took place on
- 1:57Speaker 4: the encrypted app signal and involved highigh level officials like
- 2:01Speaker 4: defend Secretary Pete Headseth, the Vice President Jeddie Vance, and
- 2:05Speaker 4: Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They claim that the league
- 2:09Speaker 4: is exposing details like targets, weapons and timing, sparking bipartisan
- 2:15Speaker 4: quote unquote outrage. There's just one problem with the story.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Pete hedgset is saying it's not true. Here is what
- 2:22Speaker 4: he said after landing in Hawaii on an official visit
- 2:26Speaker 4: when asked by the media about this new accusation. Can
- 2:30Speaker 4: you share.
- 2:31Speaker 2: How your information about war plans against the Houthis and
- 2:35Speaker 2: Yemen was shared with a journalist in the Atlantic and
- 2:38Speaker 2: where those details classified. So I'm you're talking about a
- 2:44Speaker 2: deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made a
- 2:50Speaker 2: profession of pedaling hoaxes time and time again, to include
- 2:53Speaker 2: the I don't know the hoaxes of Russia, Russia, Russia,
- 2:58Speaker 2: or the fine people on both sides hoax or suckers
- 3:02Speaker 2: and losers hopes. So this is the guy that pedals
- 3:05Speaker 2: in garbage. This is what he does. I would love
- 3:08Speaker 2: to comment on the Hoothie campaign because of the skill
- 3:12Speaker 2: and courage of our troops. I've monitored very closely from
- 3:15Speaker 2: the beginning, and you see we've been managing four years
- 3:18Speaker 2: of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration. Our troops, our
- 3:22Speaker 2: seilers were getting shot at as targets, our ships couldn't
- 3:25Speaker 2: sail through, and when they did shoot back, it was
- 3:28Speaker 2: purely defensively or at shacks and Yemen. President Trump said,
- 3:33Speaker 2: no more. We will re establish deterrence, we will open
- 3:37Speaker 2: freedom of navigation, and we will ultimately decimate the Houthis,
- 3:42Speaker 2: which is exactly what we're doing as we speak. From
- 3:44Speaker 2: the beginning. Overwhelmingly, why post.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Details shared on signal? And how did you learn that
- 3:50Speaker 1: a journalists was privy to the targets, the types of
- 3:53Speaker 1: weapons used.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I've heard it was characterized nobody was texting warps, and
- 4:00Speaker 2: that's all I have to say about that.
- 4:02Speaker 4: One other point of information that you may want to
- 4:05Speaker 4: know about Goldberg is this is the same person who
- 4:09Speaker 4: is now claiming to be on these text messages getting
- 4:12Speaker 4: top secret information who famously wrote a story claiming that
- 4:17Speaker 4: Donald Trump had called American troops who died in World
- 4:21Speaker 4: War II suckers and losers, something that also never happened.
- 4:27Speaker 4: So just remember, when you see stories like this, you
- 4:31Speaker 4: may want to look at who's writing it and go
- 4:33Speaker 4: back and read their history of all the stories that
- 4:36Speaker 4: they may have gotten wrong in the past.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Now, story number two.
- 4:40Speaker 4: One of Donald Trump's big promises to the American worker
- 4:43Speaker 4: was that he was going to bring American jobs back
- 4:46Speaker 4: from overseas.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Well.
- 4:48Speaker 4: President Donald Trump is now estimating that four trillion worth
- 4:52Speaker 4: of companies are moving back to the United States of America.
- 4:57Speaker 4: That's right. During a cabinet meeting, Present said he's very
- 5:01Speaker 4: excited to let the American people know what all is
- 5:04Speaker 4: happening when it comes to bringing companies back to the US. Specifically,
- 5:09Speaker 4: many of them are coming back for one reason, because
- 5:11Speaker 4: of the tariffs that he's been putting in overseas. Take
- 5:14Speaker 4: a list in the present in his own words, had
- 5:17Speaker 4: a very.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Very good cabinet meeting. We're on our way to some
- 5:21Speaker 1: tremendous numbers. I think, first of all, many companies are
- 5:25Speaker 1: now moving into the United States. They're coming back. Some
- 5:28Speaker 1: of them left us from many years ago, decades ago,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and they're all seams. They're all coming back. We have
- 5:34Speaker 1: probably identified maybe four trillion dollars worth of companies moving
- 5:39Speaker 1: back or going to move back. Many of them have
- 5:42Speaker 1: announced it's going to be tremendous jobs, high paying jobs too.
- 5:45Speaker 1: And you probably know the chip business, not because of
- 5:49Speaker 1: the chipsack, which was a disaster. You gave billions of
- 5:52Speaker 1: dollars to companies that already have many billions of dollars
- 5:54Speaker 1: that just they said, thank you very much. It was
- 5:57Speaker 1: no incentive for them to use it. But what is
- 6:00Speaker 1: good is the tariffs will make it so that they
- 6:02Speaker 1: want to come back. That's why they're coming back. I
- 6:04Speaker 1: think they're coming back because of the election that took
- 6:07Speaker 1: place on November fifth, and because of the fact that
- 6:10Speaker 1: they have to come back because the tariffs are forcing
- 6:13Speaker 1: them to come back. And remember there are no tariffs
- 6:16Speaker 1: if you build here, and that's a big factor. So
- 6:19Speaker 1: we have record numbers. How it was just telling me
- 6:22Speaker 1: the numbers that we're talking about are crazy, beyond anybody's
- 6:26Speaker 1: wildest expectation. So they'll be doing a lot of building
- 6:31Speaker 1: all sorts of businesses, including the basics of automobiles we have,
- 6:36Speaker 1: as you know, Indiana's Honda's coming in with a massive
- 6:39Speaker 1: plant Indiana. But there are many plants that are happening,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and literally summer started already. General Motors is already redoing
- 6:47Speaker 1: plants that were half abandoned or they have plants that
- 6:51Speaker 1: weren't being fully utilized. They're going to be. They and
- 6:55Speaker 1: others are going to be making parts and other things
- 6:58Speaker 1: in those plants so that it's once up shopping. Finally,
- 7:01Speaker 1: it's ridiculous you had to go to Mexico. You had
- 7:03Speaker 1: to go to Canada. A car went all over the place.
- 7:05Speaker 1: It was like, I don't know how that would have worked,
- 7:08Speaker 1: but that's the way it sort of ended up. We
- 7:11Speaker 1: had a deal, and we have a deal. It's fine,
- 7:14Speaker 1: but people took advantage of the deal. They cheated, and
- 7:17Speaker 1: when you cheat, the deals are unfortunate. But now what's
- 7:21Speaker 1: happening is the numbers are beyond our wildest expectations.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Beyond our wildest expectations. Now this is coming on top
- 7:30Speaker 4: of the fact that President Donald Trump's terror policies have
- 7:33Speaker 4: also secured a major investment from the Korean automaker Hondi.
- 7:38Speaker 4: At least five point eight billion. We'll be invested in
- 7:42Speaker 4: a new steel plant in Louisiana, the announcement coming today,
- 7:46Speaker 4: and this endeavor is part of a broader commitment by
- 7:49Speaker 4: the South Korean automaker, which plans a channel twenty one
- 7:54Speaker 4: billion in various US projects over the next few years. Now,
- 7:58Speaker 4: this new plant is forecast to produce two point seven
- 8:03Speaker 4: million metric tons of steel annually in America. It will
- 8:07Speaker 4: also provide over one thousand, four hundred high paying jobs,
- 8:12Speaker 4: bolstering local employment. This according to President Trump, saying the
- 8:16Speaker 4: facility marks Hondai's inaugural steel production venture on US soil
- 8:22Speaker 4: and will support its automotive manufacturing operations not only in Alabama,
- 8:28Speaker 4: but also in Georgia. So yet again the President United
- 8:31Speaker 4: States of America making it very clear he is setting
- 8:34Speaker 4: up for American workers and securing jobs for them by
- 8:38Speaker 4: bringing overseas businesses back to the United States of America.
- 8:43Speaker 3: And finally, story number three, I want to take.
- 8:45Speaker 4: A moment and talk to you about Elon Musk. The
- 8:50Speaker 4: corporate media, spontaneously over the past couple weeks has come
- 8:56Speaker 4: up with the same exact talking points to undermine and
- 9:00Speaker 4: attack Elon Musk over and over again. The media seems
- 9:04Speaker 4: to be saying the same exact thing in a very
- 9:07Speaker 4: clear coordinated attempt to undermine and to hope that Elon
- 9:12Speaker 4: Musk will somehow get fired from his job with DOGE
- 9:16Speaker 4: or quit. The media has tried to put a wedge
- 9:19Speaker 4: between Elon Musk and the President on countless occasions now
- 9:23Speaker 4: trying to get them into some sort of spat. They've
- 9:27Speaker 4: also tried to say that Elon Musk is actually bigger
- 9:30Speaker 4: than Donald Trump, trying to play into the ego game.
- 9:33Speaker 4: So that Donald Trump will kick him out of the
- 9:36Speaker 4: Oval office or maybe take him out of his administration altogether.
- 9:41Speaker 4: None of it has worked. In fact, I actually think
- 9:43Speaker 4: that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are laughing at the
- 9:46Speaker 4: fact that this is what they're trying to do. So
- 9:49Speaker 4: now we've seen orchestrated attacks, clearly orchestrated attacks against Tesla,
- 9:55Speaker 4: Tesla owners, car dealerships, the threat that if you buy
- 9:58Speaker 4: a Tesla, your car is going to be burned or
- 10:01Speaker 4: certainly damaged, that people are going to surround your car
- 10:04Speaker 4: and hit you or attack you because you own a Tesla.
- 10:08Speaker 4: We witness that over the weekend in New York City.
- 10:10Speaker 4: We've seen dealerships that have been firebombed. We've seen dealerships
- 10:14Speaker 4: that have literally been shot up. I thought Democrats were
- 10:17Speaker 4: against guns, but apparently not now if it means shooting
- 10:20Speaker 4: at a Tesla. So just how coordinated is the media
- 10:24Speaker 4: and trying to destroy Elon Musk because of what he's
- 10:26Speaker 4: doing to destroy our government, to get rid of the waste, fraud, abuse,
- 10:30Speaker 4: the corruption of the Democratic Party, to undo all of that. Well,
- 10:36Speaker 4: it looks like now they're going into full court press
- 10:38Speaker 4: where they're colluding with one another. Doing everything they can
- 10:42Speaker 4: to get rid of Elon Musk. If you don't believe me,
- 10:45Speaker 4: take a listen.
- 10:46Speaker 3: Elon Musk's so called Department of Government Efficiency. It's taking
- 10:51Speaker 3: a chainsaw to the federal workforce. Elon Musk continues his
- 10:54Speaker 3: chainsaw attack in Washington.
- 10:56Speaker 1: So taking a chainsaw, if you will, to the federal government.
- 10:59Speaker 3: That's, you know, imputating a lot of lot. They slashed
- 11:02Speaker 3: and hacked with the chainsaw.
- 11:04Speaker 2: The slashing and the burning the chainsaw.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Elon Musk with that chainsaw, I mean he's walking around
- 11:11Speaker 1: acting like he's ahead of dough. He's, you know, brandishing
- 11:14Speaker 1: the chainsaw. Nine months pregnant with Elon Musk chainsaw marauding
- 11:17Speaker 1: with a chainsaw.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And wait a second, Buster, put your chainsaw away.
- 11:21Speaker 3: They cannot attack federal agencies with a chainsaw.
- 11:25Speaker 1: He's doing it in a way with a chainsaw that
- 11:27Speaker 1: alienates people. Right man, right hand, chainsaw man.
- 11:30Speaker 2: But it has a chainsaw.
- 11:32Speaker 3: That's chainsaw stuff.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Who used the chainsaw?
- 11:34Speaker 4: Elon Musk is an unelected man child running around the
- 11:38Speaker 4: country with a pretend chainsaw. That is your media, that
- 11:42Speaker 4: is your Democratic Party, that is them colluding together in
- 11:46Speaker 4: a quote spontaneous moment that happened time and time and
- 11:51Speaker 4: time and time again, all because they don't know how
- 11:54Speaker 4: to stop Dough or Elon Musk or Donald Trump. Let
- 11:59Speaker 4: me just say the majority of the American people are
- 12:01Speaker 4: behind Elon Musk in his chainsaw, no matter what the
- 12:05Speaker 4: corporate media tries to tell you.
