• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the forty seven Morning Up Date. And we've got some
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: very big news for you this morning. President Trump going
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: on offense, this time with incredible data on the jobs report.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: All the economists and the media and the Democrats got
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: it wrong. So how is the economy and is the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: private sector and small businesses or are they growing? You
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: better believe it, and we've got the data to back
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it up. Now, before we get to that, I want
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to take a moment and talk to you about your
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: cell phone bill and how who you're paying your money
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to you right now? Well, they may be fighting against
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the values you believe in. There are a lot of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: woke companies out there, and now there's a company that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you can switch to called Patriot Mobile, where every time
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you make a phone call, your money is going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: conservative causes that you stand behind. You may not realize
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that Big Mobile gives massive donations to hardcore liberal causes
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and organizations, and even organizations that advocate and support abortions.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I don't want my money going there, and that is
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: why I switch to Patriot Mobile. Now. So many brands
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: today they claim to stand for American values, but most
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of the time it's all talk and it's no action.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And that's what makes Patriot Mobile so different. For more
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: than twelve years, Patriot Mobile has been living their values
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and standing in the gap for every American who believes
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: freedom is worth fighting for. Their business was founded on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a simple conviction, if culture is being shaped through commerce,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: then you, as Americans, deserve a real conservative alternative. Now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile is proudly America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and one hundred percent US based customer support. And with

  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile, you can even have two separate networks on

  Speaker 2: one phone, giving you unmatched coverage and peace of mind

  Speaker 2: that you can't get with the other carriers. So what

• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and make that switch today. It's the forty seven Morning
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Update and it starts right now. Story number one, The
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Trump economy just crushed it. Let me say that again.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: The Trump economy just crushed it again. Now, if you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: listen to media, you would think America is literally on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the verge of collapse. They keep telling you the economy
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: is weak, They keep predicting disaster, they keep rooting for
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: bad news because they believe in propaganda. They believe that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: bad news hurts President Donald Trump, and then it will
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: hurt Republicans in the midterms. That is their whole goal.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Once again, however, reality showed up and embarrassed every single
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: one of them in the media. The job numbers are
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in and they are absolutely incredible. No one expected what
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I'm about to tell you. That is at the United
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: States economy added one hundred and seventy two thousand jobs
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: in May. CNN having to report the data, here's what
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: they said.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: This really blew away expectations. The US economy adding as
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: you mentioned, one hundred and seventy two thousand jobs in May.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: The forecast was for one hundred and five. There were
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: whispers for half that, so that is a significant beat.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: And there were positive revisions.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Asps tell me about the revisions.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: That's now become my new favorite thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we've become so accustomed to negative revisions and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: now we've got the opposite.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: There was a modest increase from March to a very
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: healthy two hundred and fourteen thousand, but April was revised
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: sharply higher to one hundred and seventy nine thousand.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Now you listen to what I just played for you,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and that is the worst news that CNN could have
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ever asked. For you can even hear there. So now
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I want the revisions. Tell me what the revisions are. Well,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: their revisions were actually up again. So the job numbers
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: are in. They're incredible. The revisions are in for the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: month before they're also incredible. And not only do we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: beat the expectations, we literally crushed them. Every economist surveyed
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: by Bloomberg underestimated the numbers, every single one of them,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: which begs the question, are these economists actually just political
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: hacks that hate Donald Trump as well? It's a fair
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: question when all of them got it wrong. Now, Wall
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Street expected roughly half of what the Trump economy delivered.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And that's not all. Is that you heard there. The
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: April jobs number were revised upward to one hundred and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: seventy nine thousand jobs. So when you combine the revisions
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: from March and April, the economy actually created ninety three
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: thousand more jobs than originally reported. That's not a little bit.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. Now, if you think about it for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a second. The experts were wrong, the economists were wrong,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the media was wrong, all of them. Again. Yes, like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: there's a trend here. Unemployment, by the way, held steady
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: at just four point three percent. And perhaps the most
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: important number in this report is what's happening with small businesses.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Paycheck reports that small businesses, and this is incredible, hiring
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: has now accelerated for not one, not two, but three
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: straight months. That is considered a trend because small businesses,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if they're not hiring, well, they're not hiring because they
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: don't have confidence. But these small businesses are hiring because
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: somebody in Washington is telling them it's okay, and they
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: believe that person. Who am I talking about, I'm talking
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: about President Donald Trump. They're hiring because because they believe
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the future actually looks brighter. These small businesses are hiring
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: because confidence is actually returning, and confidence drives economic growth.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And that's why these numbers matter so much and why now,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: of course, the media does not want to talk about it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: This isn't government hiring either. I'm gonna say that again.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: This isn't government hiring. This isn't artificial growth. We've seen
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Democrats do that before, and by the way, sometimes Republicans
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: have they will try to make the numbers go up
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: by having government hiring. That's not what this is. This
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is real economic activity happening all across America in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: private sector, and while the economy is continuing to actually roar. Yes, statistically,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: that is what is happening. There's also something else that
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: happened this week that deserves attention as well. President Trump
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: signed what could become where of the most important national
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: security directives of the decade, his historic Artificial Intelligence Directive,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: aimed at ensuring America remains the world's technological leader. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, the next major global competition isn't just
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: about tanks and aircraft carriers. It is about artificial intelligence. Now,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I've warned you about this for a while that if
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: we don't lead on AI, China will, and China will
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: control AI, and China will control every aspect of what
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: people believe what they find. Now, this isn't just about
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: who controls technology that will shape military strategy. It will
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: also shape intelligence gathering, it will shape cybersecurity. It will
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: also shape medicine, manufacturing, and economic power. And there's one
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: country that desperately wants to beat America. I'll say it again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it's China. Now, to be clear, the Chinese Communist Party
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: has invested hundreds of billions of dollars. I'm gonna say
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that again, hundreds of billions of dollars to dominate AI.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: They know whoever leads the AI race will possess enormous
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: economic and military advantages. Now, President Trump's directive recognizes that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: reality that the United States isn't going to sit back
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and surrender technological leadership. We're going to lead. We're going
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to be innovative. We're going to make sure American technology,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: not Chinese technology, defines the future of the greatest country
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: in the world. Now, let's talk about another area real quick,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: where the administration is also taking aggressive action. Again, I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: tell you these things because the media refuses to cover this.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: The goal, by the way, is pretty simple. It's on
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the issue of crime. The Department of Justice has announced
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that they're calling the Model Cities Initiative a new way
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: of fighting crime, targeting cities that have been overwhelmed by
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: violent crime and then restoring law and order. Now, for years,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Americans have watched major cities that send into chaos. We've
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: seen retail theft, we've seen carjackings, violent crime, open air
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: drug markets, businesses are fleeing. And when cities rise in crime,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: we also know what happens poverty and unemployment rates go up,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Families then move out. Schools begin to fail at bigger
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: rates than before, and the administration has said, enough is enough.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: We need to protect our big cities, and we need
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to do it because everyone, regardless of who they voted for,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and regardless of how much cash flow they have, how
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: much they make, deserve to have you guessed it a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: safe city. It is also good for the economy, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the President understands that. Now, this initiative designed to bring
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: federal resources and they say to fight and help communities
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: reclaim their streets. Immigration enforcement is also continuing to intensify,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: which yes, helps protect American workers. Now. This week, border
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: patrol agents in Arizona, for example, stopped an operation involving
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: dozens of legal immigrants who were driving semitrucks, putting your
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: lives at risk on the roadways. Now, think about how
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: brazen that has become. Look In New Jersey, authorities arrested
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: individuals accused of attempting to disrupt operations and an ice
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: attention facility. They were demanding that everyone in there, including rapists,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: child molesters, human traffickers, and drug dealers, were let out
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of the facility. The message from this administration, however, is
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: really clear the laws are going to be enforced, borders
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: actually have a meaning, they matter, and national sovereignty matters.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Now you look about all of these issues, they all
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: go back to one thing. With President Trump. Every American family,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: he says, is his first priority. Yes, he also wants
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: to protect Americans from financial fallout and prescription drug prices.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: We're saying. The President also talked about this week announcing
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: additional actions designed to lower costs and increase transparency in pricing.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: For years, Americans have complained and have been strapped for
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: cash when it comes to paying for medications, and we
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: pay a lot more than other countries. It's an issue
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that Donald Trump led on. Democrats, by the way, have
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: talked about it for years, so Republicans. But this administration,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: they're taking direct action to put pressure on the system
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and reduce costs for every American. And if you talk
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: about accountability, well, the President also signed a directive aimed
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: at increasing accountability through the federal workforce. The basic premises
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: past week is pretty straightforward. Xs Payers expect government employees
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to work for the taxpayers, and the administration says performance, productivity,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and accountability should matter in government, just like they matter
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: in the private sector. So you take a look at
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: all of this. The Trump effect is real. Just this week,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: more than three point four billion and new investments were
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: announced three point four billion, General Dynamics announce twohundred million
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in investments, USG announced one billion investment. These are just
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: some of the people that are investing in America. So
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: for years Americans have become dangerously dependent on foreign suppliers.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: This present saying not anymore. You want to know what
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Trump plan is, putting Americans first and fighting on
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: all of these issues at the same time.
