• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I think it'll operate a let that than has been
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: over the years.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It's been just a tremendous loser for this country, tremendous
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: amounts of money.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Being laws and just losing to mendus amounty.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Good Monday morning. Ben Ferguson with you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: It's nice to have you on the forty seven Morning Update.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: And here are the big stories that we are talking about.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump's saying no more to government waste, even at
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: the United States Postal Service.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Big changes could be coming. What are they? I'll explain
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: in a moment.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Also, another big blow to the deep state is Donald
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: Trump picks Dan Bonngino to be the deputy director of
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: the FBI. And finally Elon must send out an email
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: to government employees saying, Hey, what did you actually do
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: at work last week?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Justify having a job.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Story number one another panic sitting in in Washington, d C.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Right now is Democrats are losing it over the fact
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: that Donald Trump is talking about reforming the United States
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Postal Service. The House Oversight Committee Democrats sending a scathing
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: letter to the President of the United States of America saying,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: you cannot touch the United States Postal Service. So how
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: did this even become an issue? While the President was
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: asked a question at the White House this during the
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: swearing end of the Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnik, And this
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: is what the President said.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You are considering mergad and this with the Callers Department,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you operate the company.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we want to have a post office that works
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: well and doesn't lose massive amounts of money.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And we're thinking about doing that, and it will be
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a form of a merger, but it'll remind the Postal
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Service and I think it'll operate a let that that
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: has been over the years has been dated from amendous
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: loser for this country, tremendous amounts of money being lost,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and we think we can do something that will be
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: very good and keep it a very similar way. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: whether it's a merger or just using some of the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: very talented people that we have elsewhere so it doesn't
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: lose so much it's losing a tremendous amount of money.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Now, for the majority of Americans that heard the President,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: that was not a shocking or crazy comment made. He's saying,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: this is losing entirely too much money, has been for decades,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: and there must be some reforms and accountability.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So what are the left do?
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Following the remarks, Democrat members of the House Oversight Committee
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: send a letter to Trump urging him to abandon any
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: plans to reform the United States Postal Service. Here's the kicker,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: there is no actual plan that has even been put
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: forward for the left to actually be afraid of. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter because this is all about keeping their liberal
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: union members employed no matter what. In their letter, they
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: were quoted as saying, your reported efforts to dismantle the
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Postal Service as an independent agency would directly undermine the
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: affordability and reliability of the US postal system. That is
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: what the ranking member, a Democrat from Virginia, said, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: other panel members also wrote in the letter saying, quote,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: we urge you to abandon immediately any plans that would
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: either privatize the Postal Service or undermine the independence of
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: the Postal Service.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: The letter also followed reporting from the Washington Post that
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the President is weighing firing the US Postal Service Board
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: and absorbing the United States Postal Service into the Department
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: of Commerce. Democrats continue to lose their minds, of course,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: by saying, Congress prescribed a clear and critical mandate for
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: the Postal Service to deliver efficient, reliable, and universal service
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: to all Americans, Your reported plans for the Postal Service
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: would put at risk the timely, affordable, to delivery of
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: life saving medications, mail in ballots, important financial documents, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: letters from level ones, especially in rule are less profitable
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: areas that the private sector refuses to service.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And to be clear, all of this is fear mongering.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: The President of the United States of America hasn't even
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: announced an actual plan yet. So why is it Democrats
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: are going so insane. It's because many of the employees
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: of the United States Postal Service are Democrats and union members.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: They are obsessed with keeping that power regardless of how
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: much the US government has to bail out the Postal
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Service each and every year. The final point that the
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: President is making is there must be some changes. Maybe
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: that means not having the mail be delivered Monday through Saturday.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: It could mean that there are a Tuesday, Wednesday or
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Thursday schedule, or a Monday, Wednesday Friday schedule. The point
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: is it's time for the postal service to be efficient.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Doesn't mean that he's shutting the entire thing down. So
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: when you hear the media tell you that the president's
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: threatening to do that, to be very clear, there is
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: not an actual plan yet from the president, so they
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: are lying to you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Next story number two.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: It's pretty clear that Donald Trump isn't tired of winning yet. Yes,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: last week Cashpatel became the FBI director, but Donald Trump
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: wasn't done dismantling the deep state. Donald Trump announced over
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: the weekend that Dan Bongino has been picked to be
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: the deputy director of the FBI, and to tweet the
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: present sent out, he said, great news for law enforcement

• 5:43
  Speaker 5: and passion for our country, has just been named the
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: next Deputy director of the FBI by the man who
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: will be the best ever director, Cash Battel. Dan has

  Speaker 5: Congratulations Dan, Now this move is obviously making the Deep
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: State go totally insane. Dan Bongino making it clear that
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: he is ready to serve his country and giving up
• 6:45

• 6:49
  Speaker 5: simply put it this way. Thank you, mister President, Attorney
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: General Bondi, and Director Patel. Now what does this mean
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: for the deep State?
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: In an inter back in twenty twenty three, Bongino weighed
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: in on Cocaine that he'd been discovered in the West
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Wing of the White House, for example, stating that quote
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: there is simply no way the Secret Service did not
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: know who it belonged to. Bongino added at the time
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: the government was quote so messed up and so corrupt.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Right now, argue all you want about the Deep State
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: being a conspiracy theory or whatever, went on to say
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: at the time in this interview, he said, that's all bull.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: You know what, it's real.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: We've already seen corruption in the intel community, the FBI.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: We are going to find out question Mark. The answer is,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I can't predict the future. But let
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: me tell you this. I'm just looking in the camera
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: and begging the Secret Service leadership, now, just don't do
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: to America what the FBI did. Translation Caspitel Pambondi and
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: now Dan Bongino have their work cut out for them,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: and the job the president has given them is to
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: clean up the deep state, and now they have the
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: manpower to do it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And here is story number three.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Imagine being at work and receiving an email from your
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: boss asking you to state, what did you do last
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: week in your job over the last five things you did,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: and knowing that you don't have a very good answer. Well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: for many government employees, that is exactly the email they received.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency under Donald Trump,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: send an email to all US federal employees with a
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: subject line, what did you do last week? The email
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: dispatched late Saturday afternoon, instructed employees to provide five bullet
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: points summarizing their work achievements from the previous week by
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: midnight on Monday. Must warn that failure to respond would
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: be interpreted as a resignation. This directive has led to
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: quote confusion and pushback within various federal agencies. Some departments,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: including the State Department of the FBI, have advised their
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: employees to pause or refrain from responding to the email,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: citing concerns over confidentiality and proper chain of command. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: the largest group of federal workers is being told that
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: it is time for them to tell Elon Musk and
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: those a doge exactly what they're doing now.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Don't worry.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Many in the government are fighting back. The largest federal
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: workers union criticize the move, labeling it cruel and disrespectful.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Must defended the email, stating it aligance with Donald Trump's
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: directive to adopt a more aggressive approach in evaluating federal
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: employee productivity. Must suggest it that the requirement was a
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: basic measure to ensure accountability and identify potential inefficiencies within
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: the government workforce. The situation has sparked a broader debate
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: about the treatment of federal employees. That is what Democrats
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: are fighting back with, saying that this is a method
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: of harassment instead of performance. They also are now stating
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: there are quote concerns about legality, respect, and the potential
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: impact on morale and national security. At the end of
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: the day, it's pretty clear that Elon Musk isn't going
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: to take the bait on any of that, and the
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: President of the United States of America is also making
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: it clear that if you're one of these woke individuals
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: they can't handle a basic email asking you what did
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: you do at work last week, then maybe it's time
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: for you to resign and get the hell out of
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: the government.
