  Speaker 1: with maybe'd like to and he would like to sign
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it together with me. And I understand that's a big deal,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: very big deal. The American people, even if you look
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: at Poland they're very happy because you know, Biden was
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: throwing money around like it'scott and candy. But the American
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: taxpayer now is going to get that money back.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Bus you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: we're covering on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: four point five trillion in tax cuts has passed the
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: House of Representatives, all part of Donald Trump's plan.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: What does this mean for you? I'll explain it in
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: just a moment.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Also, a Texas rancher has been murdered by a cartel
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: ied proof yet again that Trump was right to declare
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: them terrorist organizations.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Those details as well.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: And finally, the FBI is turning on the deep state
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: that went after Donald Trump with a real FBI investigation
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: of what they were doing that may have been illegal
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: against the President. It's the forty seven morning update and
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: it starts right now.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: It was a massive victory for Donald Trump, for the
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Republican Party, and for Speaker Johnson. But even bigger than that,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: it's a massive win for the American taxpayers. As Donald
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Trump's budget with a four point five trillion dollars in
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: tax cuts passed a House vote. The massive GOP bill
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: would also direct four trillion towards raising the debt limit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: The House of Representatives adopted the resolution that will eventually
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: become a massive multi trillion dollar bill full of President
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's priorities on the border, on defense, on energy,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: and tax cuts for you. This was the biggest victory
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: for the House GOP leadership so far, the resolution passing
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: in a very tight vote two seventeen to two fifteen.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: All Democrats vote against the measure to cut your taxes,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: along with lone Republican rebel Representative Thomas Massey, a Republican
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: from Kentucky who was concerned about its effects on the
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: national deficit. Now, the next step is now for the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: relevant House committees to meet and build their own proposals,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: which will eventually be returned into the framework and then
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: negotiated into a compromise deal with the Senate Republican leadership.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: It was a intent scene in the House chamber on
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Monday night, as Republican leaders delayed formally ending a vote
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: for almost forty five minutes as they worked to convince
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: conservative fiscal hawks to support the legislation. When you have
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: a thin majority in the House, this is exactly what
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: everyone expected to happen now. Impatient Democrats called out loud
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: for the vote to be closed as Republicans huddled in
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: various groups trying to make sure they could get the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: numbers to win. Two people on the four of the
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: House even telling Fox News the President Donald Trump got
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: involved at one point, speaking to one of the holdouts,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Representative Victoria Sparks, a Republican from Indiana, speaking to her
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: by phone. Representative Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Warren Davison, a Republican from Ohio, could be seen on
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the phone at other points on the House floor as well,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: but it's not clear if they were speaking directly to
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the President. At one point, the House GOP leaders appeared
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to lose confidence that they had enough support and abruptly
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: canceled the plan vote moments later, however, lawmakers on both
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: sides of the aisle were rushing back to the House
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: floor and then they were told the vote would be held. Meanwhile,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: three ouced Democrats who had been absent earlier in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: day returned for the Tuesday evening vote in a dramatic fashion.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Representative Brittany Peterson, a Democrat from Colorado who had a
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: baby roughly a month ago, returned to the House floor
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: with her infant to oppose the bill. The Representative Kevin Muhen,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: a Republican from California, who was recently hospitalized for an infection,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: appeared in the chamber aided by a walker. House and
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Senate Republicans are aiming now to use their majorities to
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: advance Donald Trump's agenda via the budget reconciliation process.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So what happens next.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It is on to the Senate to negotiate with the
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: House to come up with a final bill that they
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: can agree on to then send it hopefully to the
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: President's desk to be signed. Make no mistake, this was
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: a massive victory for the American voters, for taxpayers, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: for Donald Trump's agenda.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Now story number two, the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: President of the United States of America Donald Trump made
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: it very clear during the campaign that he believed the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: cartels in Mexico are in fact terrists organizations. He made
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: good on that pledge to go after them by declaring
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: them terrorist organizations, which changes the way that the American
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: government can interact with all of these cartels. Well, what
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: makes them terrorists? Look at the latest headline, A Texas
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: border ran has now been murdered near the border by
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a suspected cartel ied the same type of IDs that
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: we see in war in the Middle East. The Texas
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Department of Agriculture has confirmed the report and an officials
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: issued an urgent safety warning for the Rio Grande Valley.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: The rancher was a man Antonio who was seventy four.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: He worked on both sides of the border, along with
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: another individual by the name of Lopez Pena that were
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: killed in the blast on the border with Mexico just
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: south of Brownsville, Texas. Lopez's wife was hospitalized as well
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: with injuries. The man was driving on his ranch when
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: he hit the explosive device, causing it to detonate that
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: according to local reports, The Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: said the deadly explosion is part of a growing threat
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: posed by cartel activity along our southern border and encourages
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: ranchers to exercise now.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Extreme caution in the area. Quote.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I encourage everyone in the agricultural industry to stay vigilant,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: remain aware of their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to law enforcement. Additionally, you can avoid dirt roads and
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: remote areas, Refrain from touching unfamiliar objects that could be
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: explosive devices, limit travel to daylight hours, stay on main roads,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and avoid cartel controlled regions, Miller said in the statement.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: The man's son, a US Army veteran who was also
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: injured by an ied during a deployment, was shocked to
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: learn of his father's killing back home.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I consider this a terrorist attack because I went to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: war to fight terraces and I'm seeing the same thing here.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: To me, my personal opinion, it's a terrorist attack. Now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: this isn't the first time we have seen these types
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: of warnings. Border agents are receiving warnings about increased threats
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: from cartel, and the Trump administration has responded, like I
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: said earlier, by designating many of them as foreign terrorist organizations.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: So if you think the President was overreacting. Just know
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that there are men and women on the border, ranchers
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: in agriculture who are now being blown up and murdered
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: by the cartels using IEDs the same way that they
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: are used in Iraq, Afghanistan and against the people in Israel.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And here is story number three.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: The Federal Bureau of Investigations has now officially told the
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: world that they are investigating a secret honeypot operation that
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: targeted President Donald Trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. That according
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: to a recent report, the FBI director Cashpttel, who was
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: recently confirmed and sworn in, and the FBI Deputy Director
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Dan Bongino are reportedly looking for two female agents who
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: took part in an off the book investigation quote unquote
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: that former FBI Director James Comy launched in twenty fifteen.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: This according to The Washington Times, the agents who were
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: undercover were called quote honeypot agents, a term that refers
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: to an undercover operative, usually a woman with sexual or
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: romantic interests, used to obtain information from a target. Again
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: this coming from the Washington Times. Now, this comes after
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: The Times previously reported in October of twenty twenty four
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: that the House Judiciary Committee was looking into a whistleblower's
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: claim that the agency targeted Trump soon after he announced
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: his presidential campaign and June of twenty sixteen, in what
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: was described as a phishing expedition to quote find something.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: In a protected disclosure, the whistle blower an FBI agent,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: claim that two undercover agents had infiltrated Trump's presidential campaign.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Remember when Donald Trump said his campaign was spied on. Well,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: apparently they were sitting in attractive females to try to
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: get in tell or to set up the president again.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: This was during his campaign run to become president in sixteen,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: and had been instructed these women to act as quote
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: honeypots while traveling with Donald J.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Trump.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: According to the outlet, the agent quote personally knew that
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: mister Comy ordered an FBI investigation against mister Trump, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that mister Comy quote personally directed it quote unquote. According
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: to the disclosure, the off the book's investigation did not
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: appear to target a specific crime either, but was more
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of what agents would describe as a phishing expedition to
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: find something, find anything that could be used against Donald Trump.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: The outlet also noted that the whistleblower's disclosure claimed that
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the investigation was different from Crossfire Hurricane, which targeted Russian
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: quote collusion. We all know that was obviously a big lie.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Bright Bart News also previously reported that during Trump's first
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: term in office, he ordered more documents from Operation Crossfire
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Hurricane to be declassified. I determined that the materials in
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that binder should be declassified to the maximum extent possible.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Is what Donald Trump said in twenty twenty one.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Now there's many that are going to say this is
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump going after his quote political enemies. If you
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: look at the facts, it's very clear that's not the case.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: In reality, this is the FBI investigating a secret honeypot
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: operation targeting Donald Trump's campaign and trying to alter the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: outcome of an election.
