  Speaker 1: I think that the United Kingdom, like every other country,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: they want to be go shopping in the United States
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of America. China wants to very much wants to make
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a deal. They all do. Every country wants to make
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a deal, and not the ones they had in the past,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: where we were being.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Ripped off by every country practically without exception, in the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: entire world. And those days are you're listening to the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update. Ben Ferguson with you, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: here are the three big stories you need to know about.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: First up, a major win for the President of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: United States of America as the Supreme Court stays the
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: lower court ruling allowing Donald Trump and the transgender ban
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: in the military to proceed. What happens next, I'll have
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: that for you in just a second. Up next, Tom
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Homan making it very clear after police officers were attacked
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: by illegal immigrants in New York that we are going
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: to flood sanctuary cities with ICE agents and we will
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: go after illegal immigrants at their places of work. How
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: big of an impact do this have? You'll hear from
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Tom Homan in just a moment. And finally Trump administration
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: has come in and shut down the CDC's Infection Control Committee.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: They were in charge of many of the guidelines during
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: COVID nineteen outbreak that were ridiculous and had no basis
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: in science. The community is obviously fighting back and I'll
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: give you those details as well. Before we get to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: those stories, I want to tell you about the International
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Did you know, just like
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: here in the US, Israel has their own Independence Day
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: In case you missed it, this year's Israel Independence Day
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: was a few days ago on May first. But for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the people of Israel, freedom is nothing more than a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: daily struggle just to survive. There's no real peace, only tear,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: no joy, just suffering. Even as rockets have hit their
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: airport in the last few days, the Israeli government recognizes
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for ongoing help
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to make sure the elderly, the sick, the wounded soldiers,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and the impoverished families don't fall through the cracks. That
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: is why your gift to the Fellowship today is so
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: important and will provide life saving aid medicine. Hearty meals
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: safety and comfort. I believe that when we bless the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: people of Israel, we unlock God's blessing in our lives
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: as well. So show your support for Israel's independence by
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: making a life saving gift today. Call IFCJ at eight
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: eight eight for eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: four eight eight four three two five, or go online
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Org story number one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: The Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump a very big
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: victory on Tuesday by allowing him to exclude openly transgender
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: individuals from the military. In a brief order, the Supreme
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Court Justices granted an emergency request from the Trump administration
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to lift a nationwide injunction blocking the policy. According to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the latest breaking news outside of the court, the Court
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: lifted the temporary injunction and while litigation will continue, it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: is likely that the policy will in fact stay in place.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Quote the order says, the application for stay, presented to
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Court, is granted.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: The March to twenty seventh preliminary injunction entered by the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: United States District Court for the Western District of DC
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: is stayed, penning the deposition of the appeal in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Supreme
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Court Justices Soudamior, Elena Kagan, and Kanji Brown Jackson would
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: quote deny the application. The US order concluded, breaking news
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: is this the Supreme Court will allow the Trump Administration's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: transgender military band to take effect. The Trump administration argued
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: in its filing that stalling the policy could hinder US
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: military readiness and ask the Supreme Court to block the
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: lower court's ruling halting the ban. The Justice asked the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: plaintiffs in the case to file a response by next week,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: indicating that they could move quickly on the issue. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Trump administration's requests that the Supreme Court unblock its policy
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: on not allowing transgender troops in the military comes after
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the US District Judge Benjamin Settle issued a preliminary injunction
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: preventing the Trump administration from removing transgender troops from the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: military while the litigation was ongoing. Now, this all goes
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: back to January twenty seventh, when Trump issued that executive
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: order prioritizing what he described as military excellence and readiness
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: over DEI and the woke agenda of the Biden administration.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: He stated that the policy of the US government is
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: to quote establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and integrity. This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria, the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: executive order added at the time, saying quote this policy
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual's sex. On February the seventh,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the Secretary of Defense Pete Headseth issued a directive which
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: paused the all new accessions of individuals with a history
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of gender dysphoria. The directive also paused all unscheduled, scheduled,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: gender transition quote unquote. Now you may remember the US
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Air Force Academy hosted a quote transgender Pentagon official for
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: a symposium on inclusion. Our military at the time was
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: clearly focused on transgender dogma while wars were raging onto continents,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and this is exactly why the President of the United
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: States of America said, we're not doing this anymore.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: All too often I hear leaders talk about providing everyone
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: with dignity and respect like it's an aspirational goal.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: That's not good enough.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Dignity and respect is the bare minimum, it's the floor
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: of where we can be. We must set our sites
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: higher and focus on intentional inclusivity because there are still
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: far too many people out there, not just LGBTQ individuals,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: that feel marginalized, shut out, or discriminated against. So for
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: all of you out there, I ask you to set
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your email,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: particularly if you're a person who doesn't think they need
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: to initiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: share a bit of your vulnerability in a way that
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: draws others in. You all have the power to take
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: intentionally inclusive actions to ensure the multiple perspectives that we
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: know make us stronger as we devise winning war fighting
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: strategies get heard.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: That was what the last administration valued, instead of readiness
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of our troops. A RAFs Musen survey, by the Way,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: conducted between January the twenty ninth and thirtieth and February.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: The second found that likely voters fifty four percent voters
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: approved of Trump's executive order to ban transender troops from
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: military service, including thirty eight percent who strongly approved of
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the policy. The bottom line, Donald Trump said, we're out
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: with the Biden radical agenda and we're going back to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: what our military is supposed to do, keep us safe.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Next story number two, the.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Trump administration has announced a significant escalation immigration enforcement targeting
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: sanctuary cities, Tom Homan stating that if local jurisdictions continue
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to resist cooperation with federal immigration authorities, the federal government
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: will respond by increasing the presence of ICE agents in
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: these areas. Homan emphasized that sanctuary cities are quote going
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to get exactly what they don't want, more agents in
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: their community, and warned that ICE is prepared to double
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the man force if we have to to carry out.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The enforcement actions now.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: This intensified approach includes a focus on work site enforcement,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the White House says. Homan indicated that if ICE agents
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: are unable to make arrests in jails or on the
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: streets due to local non cooperation with law enforcement, in
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the court systems, then they will increase operations at workplaces.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He stated, if we can't do it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: In the streets, we're going to increase work site enforcement
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: operations in those sanctuary cities, and we're going to flood
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: work site enforcement operations. Now, these statements have sparked quote controversy,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the media claims and immigration advocacy groups are fighting back,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: arguing that such aggressive enforcement tactics could quote strain community
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: relations and lead to the targeting of non criminal undocumented immigrants.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Now this comes as the media also freaked out saying
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: that Donald Trump took all of the fun out of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Cinco de Mayo. Why because many cities canceled or downplayed
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: their Singo Demyo events for fear of ice raids and deportations.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Chicago residents and the president of their local community group
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: said that people in the Hispanic community are quote very
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: scared of gathering in public, with some even considering going
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: back to Mexico on their own. By the way, that
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: is absolutely what the Trump administration is saying they want
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: to happen. Quote, our people are very scared. Honestly, they're
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: saying they don't want to go to work. They have
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to go to work because they have to feed their families,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: so if they both were working, now one person is working.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: As to why they cancel the Singo Demio parade in
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Chicago's Little Village, which attracts up to three hundred thousand
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: people annually, Escobar said that too many people are just afraid.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: How about the parade, how about the festivities? And they say, well,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: if we're scared to go to work, I don't think
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: it's nothing to celebrate.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So that took us to the decision over money.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: We all see this country as picking up people with
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: no criminal records, he claims, which is actually not true.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: If you come to the United States of America legally,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: you are a criminal. Back to the statement, and honestly,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: it's a horrible way we have seen in my last
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: forty five years I've been living here in the US,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: nothing like it. And so let's just be clear, this
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: is exactly what the President of the United States of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: America wanted. He wanted illegal immigrants to not feel safe
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: staying in the US. He wanted them to be looking
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: over his shoulder and is hoping that many will be
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: deporting themselves, whether it's Chicago or Philadelphia, many other cities,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: even in Oregon, the Latino Fest was also canceled there
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: as the executive director of the Latino Community Association said
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: there's just too much fear among illegal immigrants or has
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: he described them migrants of being identified or detained simply
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: for participating in our cultural celebrations of Cinco de Mayo.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Democrats are also blaming Donald Trump for the quote economic impact,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: saying the cancelations have had significant economic repercussions. In Chicago,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the Chamber of Commerce put out a statement estimating a
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: loss of approximately one point five million in direct income
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: for the city in between five and six million for
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: local businesses due to the parades cancelation on Cinco de Now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: All of this complaining comes at a time whether a
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: shocking video has come out showing illegal immigrants attacking police
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: officers in New York. Tom Homan sitting down with Laura
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Ingram on Fox talking about his plan to flood ice
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: workforce in sanctuary cities.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Take a listen, game's over.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: We're going to look for these public safety threats and
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: we're going to take them off the streets in New
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: York and every other Sanctuarius city. A matter of fact,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: every Singuaru theority city. We're going to triple the workforce.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: We're gonna flood the zone with officers. And we can't
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: wrestle in jail, We'll wrestling in the community. If we
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: can arrest me in the community or arrest at their
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: work site. We're going to triple work site enforcement operations.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: We're going to flood the zone. We're going to take
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: these public safety threats off the streets with your help
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: or without your help.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: One thanks for sure, law and order is back, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the President of United States of America is encouraging all
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: of those impositions of power around him to do the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: will of the people, which is to.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Get rid of illegal immigrants in this country.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: And finally, story number three.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: In a very strong move, the Trump administration is shut
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: down the CDC's Infection Control Committee. It was a four
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: member committee and they were all terminated the administration, making
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: it very clear that the federal advisory committee that issued
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: guidance about preventing the spread of infectious diseases in healthcare
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: facilities was pretty much worthless. The Healthcare Infection Control Practices
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Advisory Committee crafted national standards for hand washing, mask wearing,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: and isolating sick patients that most of the US hospitals follow.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Four committee members said the Center for Disease Control and
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Prevention delivered the news about the termination to its members
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: on Friday, a letter reviewed now by NBC News, which
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: members said the CDC sent out after a virtual meeting,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: saying the termination took effect more than a month previously
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: on March thirty first. According to the letter, the termination
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: alignes with President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: reduction of the federal workforce for professional societies previously asked
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: in a letter on March of twenty six, to preserve
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the committee amid widespread cuts to federal health agencies. The
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services did
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Yes you can laugh at that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Several of the committee's web pages have already been archived,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: meaning they are still available to view online.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But are no longer being updated.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Some members now say they quote fear its guidelines will
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: be frozen in time, unable to evolve with new scientific
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: research or the spread of drug resistance organisms, which are
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: a particular threat to hospitals, saying at some point when
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: things need to change, the guidelines likely won't change at all,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: and then people will be sort of flying by the
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: seat of their pants. That is what one of the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: board members said about what just happened. But in reality,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the President and many others said, well, you guys messed
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: up the last time so big no one would trust
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you anyway, So it's time for us to get rid
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: of some of the waste, fraud, and abuse yet again
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: in our government, even at the CDC.
