• 0:23
  Speaker 4: today on the forty seven Morning Update. First up, it's
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Black Tuesday when it comes to federal workers. They're getting
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: pink slips from Donald Trump saying you're fired. So who
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: all lost their jobs and why? I'll have that for
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: you in a moment. Also, Donald Trump moved America forward
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: with a five hundred billion dollar AI investment from the
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: private sector. That's happening right here in the US of A. Finally,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: promise is made and promises kept on border security, major
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: moves by President Trump to make sure that we have
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: a secure southern border. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: It was Black Tuesday for many in the federal government
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: as the head of the TSA and the Coast Guard
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: were fired on Trump's first full day in office. President
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Trump moved quickly to remake the Department of Homeland Security,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: firing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Coast Guard before their terms were even up, and eliminated
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: all members of a key aviation security advisory group as well. Now,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Trump's immigration policy changes through the most attention at Homeland Security,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: but he's also making changes at the rest of the
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: massive agency. Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: a memo Tuesday morning saying that the Department is eliminating
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: the membership of all advisory committees as part of a
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the Department of homelanded Security activities prioritize specifically our national security.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The Aviation Security Committee, which was mandated by Congress after
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty eight Pamm one oh three bombing over
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: lockingby Scotland, will technically continue to exist, but it won't
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: have any members to carry out the work of examining
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: safety issues at airlines and airports. Liberals are claiming at
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: this hour, but the reality is there are plenty of
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: people that are doing that right now. Who's angry about it? Well,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: major unions. That's right because the airlines and majored unions
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: were a member of the group associated with all of
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: this government bureaucracy. This is another example of Donald Trump
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: saying I'm coming in and I'm cleaning house. Now. That
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: isn't all who lost their jobs in our bloated government.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You know. Donald Trump became very famous for being the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: guy that says you're fired. Well, Donald Trump is telling
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: many Biden appointees you're out of a job. And now
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: it's a he said. She said, no, no, no, you
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: didn't fire me. I already quit. I wish I was joking,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: but I'm not. Donald Trump says he plans to remove
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: over one thousand Biden appointees, and there are many that
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: are very angry about President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I have these plans because I'm not keeping any of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: them Joe Biden's appointees from their government positions. He said, yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: you're gone, and he had already fired four individuals immediately,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: including a celebrity shift Jose Andreas and a former top
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: general Mark Milly. You're fired, is what Trump wrote in
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: an early morning post on his True social platform that
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: named Milly and Andreas, as well as his former I
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: ran envoy Brian Hook and the former Atlanta mayor Keisha
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Lance Bottoms, who Biden appointed to an export council. Andreas
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and Bottom said they quote unquote had already quit their
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: posts before Trump's inauguration. Trump's post said his personal office
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: is quote actively in the process of identifying and removing
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: over one thousand presidential appointees from the Biden administration who
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: are quote not aligned with our vision to make America
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: great again. Donald Trump wasn't done there. When it came
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: to changing things very quickly, he also decided to move
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to another issue. He Trump ordered all federal diversity, Equity
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and Inclusion employees placed on paid leave starting on Wednesday.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yes NBC News reporting that the Trump administration also directed
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: government agencies to draw plans for firing workers in DEI roles.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: The Trump administration is ordering all federal employees the White
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: House announced in these roles on paid lead by Wednesday
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: evening at five o'clock that according to a new memo
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: from the Office of Personnel Management. The memo issued Tuesday
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: to heads of departments and government agencies set that deadline
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: of no later than five pm Eastern time Wednesday to
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: inform the employees that they will be put on paid
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: administrative leave as the agencies prepare to close all diversity,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: equity and inclusion related offices and programs, and to also
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: remove all websites and social media accounts for such offices immediately.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: This is another promise Donald Trump made to the American people,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: and he's seeing it through clearly, starting in his very
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: first week in office.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Now story number two in major.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Breaking news coming from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday announced Stargate Project. Now, what is that? It
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: is a new American company which will invest five hundred
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: billion dollars over the next four years building a new
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: AI infrastructure, specifically in the United States of America. The
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: President also asked Oracles Larry Ellison, Soft Bank CEO, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Open AI Sam Altman to the White House for this
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: major announcement. We're President Trump explained it this way.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It's my honor to welcome three of the world's leading
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: technology CEOs. And in the case of Larry Larry Ellison,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it's well beyond technology is sort of CEO of everything.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He's an amazing man, an amazing business person. But to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: announce the largest AI infrastructure project by farign history and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it's all taking place right here in America. As you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there's great competition for AI and other things, and they're
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: coming in at the highest level. We're joined by Oracle
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Executive Chairman Larry Ellison, Soft Bank CEO, my friend Masa
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Masa Yoshi's son and CEO of Open Ai, and I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: would say the by far the leading expert based on
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: everything I read, Sam Altman. So that's that's great that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you're coming in together. That's a massive group of talent
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and money. Together, these world leading technology giants are announcing
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the formation of Stargate. So put that name down in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: your books, because I think you're going to hear a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: lot about it in the future. A new American company
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that will invest five hundred billion dollars at least in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: AI infrastructure in the United States and very very quickly,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: moving very rapidly, creating over one hundred thousand American jobs
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: almost immediately.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: This massive project is going to create, as you heard
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the President just say, there, over one hundred thousand high
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: quality jobs, and it will catapult America in front of
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: China in the AI race. Not only will this create
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: more than one hundred thousand American jobs and significantly advance
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: AI applications, particularly and this is the part that many
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Americans should be the most excited about in healthcare, such
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: as early disease detection and personalized treatments. Key figures from
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the private sector. Putting this all together, joining President Trump
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: with this announcement at the White House is proof yet again,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: as Donald Trump has put it, that if we want
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to fix the biggest problems of the world, we should
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: be looking to the private sector and not the US
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: government to do it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: And lastly, story number three.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Promise is made, promise is kept. When it comes to
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: national security and the Southern Border. The man who's in
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: charge of securing the Southern Border, Tom Homan, said today
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: that ice deportation operations have already begun.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Teams are all there as of today. We gave him
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the in direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: looking for, so we've been working on the target list.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: There was some discussion about with Chicago because the Pacific
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Operational Plan was released, so we had to look at
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and reevaluate does this raise after safety concerns and it does,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: but we've address that in teams. You all despective today.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Teams are out there today. So what exactly has happened
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: since Donald Trump was sworn in. I have the list
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: for you now. It is a list that the media
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: is not wanting to talk about because it's actually a
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: very extensive list of promises made and promises cap So
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: let's go through it so you know exactly where we
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: are in the process of securing the border. On January
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the twenty first, Donald Trump signed several executive orders aimed
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: at strengthening border security. Number one a National Emergency Declaration
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: declaring a national emergency at the US Mexico border, enabling
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the deployment of federal troops to assist in border enforcement.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: There was another promise that was made, and that deal
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: with the remain in Mexico policy. Well, Donald Trump paid
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: off on that promise, reinstating the policy requiring asylum seekers
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: to wait in Mexico during immigration proceedings, which will have
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: a massive impact on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: across the border. One of the other major issues Donald
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Trump talked about back in the campaign in twenty sixteen
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: for president was building a border wall. Well, Donald Trump
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: is ordered the resumption and now the completion of the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: border wall along the southern border as fast as humanly possible. Also,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: in another major move, and the media lost their minds
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: over this, Donald Trump decided to terminate birthright citizenship, signing
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: an order to end automatic US citizenship for a child
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: born in the US to an undocumented immigrant. This move
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: is likely going to face major legal challenges due to
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: the fourteenth Amendment. That doesn't mean that Donald Trump isn't
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: willing to have that conversation now. Donald Trump also took
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: a major action which shocked the world, especially those that
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: advocate for illegal immigrants. He decided to been the CBP
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: one app. Now. Disabling this app, which allows migrants to
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: schedule legal entry appointments, resulted in cancelations for thousands and
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: thousands of applicants, sending a very clear message that you
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: can't just come across a wide open southern border and
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: think we are going to let you stay here. The
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: app right now does not work. And also, in what
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: is being described as the biggest and boldest move of
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: all of these actions, is the present's decision to designate
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: cartels as terrorists organizations. Classifying certain drug cartels and gangs
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: such as MS thirteen as foreign terrorist organizations would allow
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: for aggressive actions to be taken against them, including using
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the US military. You combine all of this together, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: this marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, reflecting
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: a return to an expansion of measures from President Donald
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Trump's first term. In translation, Donald Trump made a lot
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: of promises and he is keeping them, especially when it
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: comes to securing the southern border.
