  Speaker 2: billion people, we pay five hundred billion. We have. Nobody
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: knows what the hell we have, does anyone We have
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: so many people pouring in, we have no idea. We
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: go up, but we're going down a little bit.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: You don't mind that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Good morning, It's Ben Ferguson. Nice to have you with us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And here are the big stories we're covering today on
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the forty seven Morning Update. You're fired key officials under
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith who went after the President of the United
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: States of America have been fired for the Department of Justice.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'll give you their names coming up in just a moment.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Plus Vice President jd Vance calling out the Catholic Church
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for protecting illegal immigrants and profiting off them as well.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And finally Donald Trump decides to say, guess what you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: want to teach critical race theory, go ahead and do it,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but you're not going to get any federal funds. This
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: shaking up the education world big time. It's to forty
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Law Fair, It was one of the most important tools
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that democrats use to try to overthrow the will of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the people and to lock up their political opponent, a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: guy by the name of Donald Trump. You know, the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: guy who's the President of the United States of America
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: right now. Well, one of the men that led that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: crusade to lock up Donald Trump was a Special Council
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: prosecutor by the name of Jack Smith. Well, it is official.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The US Department of Justice, under the Acting Attorney General
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: James mcginry, terminated the employment of over a dozen federal
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: prosecutors who had been involved in criminal cases against President
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. These individuals were primarily part of former Special
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: counsel Jack Smith's team, which quoted investigated Trump's alleged mishandling
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of classified documents and his effort they claimed to overturn
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the twin election results. Now, the acting Attorney General also
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: made it clear he wanted America to understand why these
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: individuals were going to be fired. He said, these individuals
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: they cannot trust to assist in faithfully implementing the president's agenda. Well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious statement if you ask me for a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: reason to fire somebody, especially since the last thing they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were working on was locking up Donald Trump. Now. McHenry
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: has transmitted a letter to each official notifying them of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: their termination. A Justice Department official also said today it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: unclear how many other officials will be fired in the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: coming days. It seems that they are starting at the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: top and working their way down. This action quote is
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the officials also said to Fox News. The move comes
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: after the Justice Department reassigned more than a dozen officials
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in the first week of the Trump administration to a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: sanctuary city task force and other measures. It also comes
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: after Trump vowed to end the weaponization of the federal
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: government against anyone in politics. The former Attorney General you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: may remember, a guy by the name of Merrick Garland,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: appointed Smith, a former Justice Department official, as special counsel
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: back in November of twenty twenty two. Smith came in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as nothing more than a hit man to take out
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump, and he led that investigation into Trump's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: retention of classified documents. After leaving the White House, he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: also was involved in the raid of mar Lago and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: then he went after Donald Trump for other charges and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other cases and just for the record, So you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: special Counsel Jack Smith. He's also without a job today,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: so I guess he's got some drinking buddies to hang
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: out with that were all in cahoots to overthrow the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: will of the people and to lock up Donald Trump.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Now, story number two, there's a very famous saying.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It is a saying that you've probably heard before. Follow
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the money. Well, nothing could be truer when it comes
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to government and politics, and many times when there is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a crisis and money is thrown at that crisis, there
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are always people on the take that are more than
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: happy to get rich. Well. JD. Vance is now calling
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: out the Catholic Church saying they are doing more to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: help immigrants, illegal immigrants, specifically to actually help their bottom line,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: not so much because they believe in a policy. Well,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Vice President J. D. Vance ruffled a lot of feathers
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: when he got into it back and forth over the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: idea now that the government is going to raid churches
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to if there are legal immigrants in attendance. There are
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: some saying that is inhumane, and the President of the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: United States of America is saying there should be nowhere
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that is off limits to violent illegal immigrants. Even if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they seek refuge in a church. Take a listen to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what JD. Van t had to say about the Catholic
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Church profiting off of quote taking care of illegal immigrants
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in America.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Of Catholic Bishops this week condemned some of the executive
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: orders signed by President Trump, specifically those allowing immigration and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: customs enforcement to enter churches and to enter schools. Do
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: enforcement action in a church service at a school, Well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Let me let me address this. Of course, if you
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: have a person who is convicted of a violent crime,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: whether they're an illegal immigrant or a non illegal immigrant,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: you have to go and get that person to protect
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: the public safety. That's not unique to immigration. But let
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: me just address this particular issue, Margaret, because as a
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: practicing Catholic, I was actually heartbroken by that statement, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: I think that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: to actually look in the mirror a little bit and
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: recognize that when they receive over one hundred million dollars
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: concerns or are they actually worried about their bottom line?
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: We're going to enforce immigration law. We're going to protect
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the American people. Donald Trump promised to do that, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: I believe the US Conference of Catholic Bishops that they're
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: worried about the humanitarian costs of immigration enforcement. Let them
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: talk about the children who have been sex trafficked because
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: of the wide open border of Joe Biden. You person
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: talk about going people like Blake and Riley who are
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: brutally murdered. I support US doing law enforcement against violent criminals,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: whether they're legal immigrants or anybody else, in a way
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: that keeps us safe. Let me ask this question, Margaret,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: let's separate the immigration issue. If you had a violent
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: murderer in a school, of course, I want law enforcement
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: to go and get that person out of the point
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: of the question.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: You change the regulation this week. That's the point of
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the question, exactly giving the authority to go into church,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: exactly school.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: The empowered law enforcement to enforce the law everywhere to
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: protect Americans.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: In fact, a chilling effect arguably to people to not
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: send their pipes to school.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I desperately hope it has a chilling effect.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You think the US Conference of Catholics Bishops are actively
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: hiding criminals.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I think the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has frankly
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: not been a good partner in common sense immigration enforcement
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: that the American people voted for. And I hope again
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: as a devout Catholic, that they'll do better.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: As a devout Catholic, he hopes they'll do better. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: follow the money, what are we talking about. Early reports
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have been coming out after Vance did that interview showing
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: been flowing into the Catholic charities to make sure that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they take care of the illegal immigrants. Yes, the Catholic
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Church is profiting off of this, There's no doubt about it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And now you have the Vice President of the United
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: States of America calling them out for it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And lastly, story number three.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Another major campaign promise from Donald Trump was that he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: was going to get our education system back to the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: basics and out of the hands of the radicals. Well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump is going scorched earth on the radical
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: left's grip over education and lawlessness, whether it is elementary, middle,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: high school, or the college level. He did so today
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: through an executive order. School choice is also getting priority
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: funding for the first time ever, and schools that are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: pushing CRT and gender ideology will no longer be receiving
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: federal funds. Also, PROHAMA students VISA holders, well, you can
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: expect deportations for them. The message is clear, America's future
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: will not be shaped by radical indoctrination or foreign agitators,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and Donald Trump is paying off on this clearly now.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: This executive order to defund schools that teach gender ideology
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and critical race theory was one that was well thought out.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Now the order will give the Department of Education ninety
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: days to create a plan about how to weed out CRT,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: critical race theory, and radical gender ideology instruction in K
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: through twelve schools now. According to White House memo, Trump
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: notably promised on the campaign trail to sign an order
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: defunding schools that teach critical race theory, transgender insanity, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: other inappropriate, radical sexual or political content quote unquote. The
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: White House memo also states that the order will direct
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the Attorney General to work with state attorney generals and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: district attorneys to quote file actions against teachers and school
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: officials who sexually exploit minors or practice medicine without a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: license through social transition practices, something the left has been teaching. Now,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: critical race theory has well been pretty incredible if you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: look how the left has implemented it. They put it
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: into virtually all of our institutions, our government, our economy,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: our culture, and they're all based on a radical hierarchy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: with wide individuals on top and black individuals at the bottom.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Even things that look race neutral are on closer inspection racists.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: According to this doctrine, CRT was the invention of a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: group of radical left wing intellectuals known as the Frankfurt School.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: They developed it to achieve what they saw as a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: cultural change, a change that looks a lot like well,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: what Marxism is and what it could not achieve politically. Now,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: if you will move to gender ideology, what is that? Well,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: simply put, it is the false belief that one can
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: become a different sex than what they were born. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: colleges and high schools and elementary schools are indoctrinating anyone
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: who will listen. President Trump says he will sign the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Executive Order to create a National Commission to Promote Patriotic
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Education instead of the radical lefts CRT today.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I'm also pleased to announce that I will soon sign
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: an executive order establishing a National Commission to promote Patriotic Education.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: It will be called the seventeen seventy six Commission. It
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: will encourage our educators to teach our children about the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: miracle of American history and make plans to honor the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our founding. Think of
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: that two hundred and fifty years.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It's amazing the difference between the Democratic Party and what
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: they were doing with our kids' minds and what Donald
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Trump is doing right now. God bless Trump for doing this,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: signing this executive order.
