  Speaker 1: How did you find out over the weekend that you
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: were dead?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I have heard it's sort of crazy. But
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful. They
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: went very well, like this is going very well. And
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: then I didn't do any for two days and they
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: said there must be something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: do him for months, you wouldn't see him, and nobody
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: ever said there was ever anything wrong with him. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: we know who was in the relation of shape.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Ben ferguson.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Good Wednesday morning, it is so nice to have you
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: with us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: got one major story for you. Donald Trump has ordered
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: the US military to strike a drug vote, killing eleven
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: trend Aragua terrists. It is a warning to traffickers around
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: the world that if you're bringing drugs to America, we're
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: going to come after you, and the American military are
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: the ones that are going to carry out my orders.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: But before I get to that, I want to talk
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: to you about my friends at kirk Elliott Precious Medals.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Two days ago I got my new order of silver.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Now I'm investing in silver right now, because the pricing
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: on it is amazing and the upside well, it's real.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought it
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: at the right price and I wasn't paying massive up
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then when
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: you go to sell them, you take away all of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: your earning potential. Why do they do it this way
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: at Kurt Elliot because they have transparent pricing up front.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: you sell. There are no hidden fees ever with Kurt
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Elliott precious metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: It's not just about in them, it's about making sure
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: you get more for your money. And that is exactly
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: why Kurt Elliott helps people all the time. Whether it's
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: gold or silver, you can hold it, be a good
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: steward of it, you can pass it on to future generations,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: and you can build wealth with it. It's real, boy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Youon never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver. No
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: overpriced coins, no flashy markups. And it's a company that
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I love because they are a faith driven company. There's
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: no pressure, just honest care. They treat every client like family,
• 2:35

• 3:19
  Speaker 4: starts right now.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Story number one in major.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: News, Donald Trump has ordered US military strike on a
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: drug boat, killing at least eleven trendel a Aga Terris
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: in a warning to drug traffickers, they did not know
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: that the attack was happening until they were already basically dead,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and it happened on direct orders from President Donald Trump.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: The US military forces launched a precision strike we've now
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: learned on the drug laden vessel in international waters, killing
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: all eleven Narco terrorists en route to the United States.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Trump declared the operation a clear warning to traffickers that
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: those who smuggle poisoned towards America shores will face swift
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: and lethal consequences. Now, one of the things you need
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: to understand about this attack is the terrorists. The Narco
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: terrorists had no idea it was even happening. They were
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: not swerving or driving at a high rate of speed
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: trying to get away from what they thought was a
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: threat to them. They were doing normal business the way
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: they've been able to do it for years under the
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Biden administration. They had no clue that their life was
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: about to come to an end. Now, yes, the President
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: of United States of America had worn countless times while
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: running for office and since he's been elected that if
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: you are a Narco terrorist, that we will come after
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: you and hunt you down. This seems to be not
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: the end, but the beginning of these actions. The President
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: putting it this way on true socials, saying, quote, earlier
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: this morning, on my orders, US military forces conducted a
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: kinetic strike against a positively identified trend Deiragua. Narco ars
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: in this southcom area of responsibility. The strike occurred while
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the terrorists were at sea in international waters, transporting illegal
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: narcotics heading to the United States. The President was also
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: asked about this in the Oval Office, and here's part
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of what he had to say.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: When you come out, and when you leave the room,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: you'll see that we just over the last few minutes
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: literally shot out a boat, a drug carrying boat, a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that and you'll be reading about that. It just tappened
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: moments ago. And our great General, head of the Joint
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Chiefs of Staff, who has been so incredible, including what
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: took place in Iran, knocking out potential nuclear power for
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a long time to come. I think within a month
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: they would have had it. We didn't do what we did,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but he gave us a little bit of a briefing.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And you'll see and there's more where that came from.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: coming in for a long time, and we just these
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: we took it out and you'll get to see that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: after this meeting is over.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: The President also included the video for the world to see.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It showed that aerial view of the Panga boat. At
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the twenty second mark in the video, the boat explodes,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: burst into flames, and then the boat quickly sank. Now
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: why did the President put it out there? He wanted
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the world to be on notice that if you're bringing
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: drugs in the United States of America to kill our citizens,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: we're going to hunt you down and we're going to
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: kill you. The Commander in Chief added this. The strike
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: resulted in the eleventh Terraces killed in action. No US
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: forces were harmed in the strike. Please let this serve
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: as a notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: into the United States of America beware. Thank you for
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: your attention to this matter. We also know that the
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Pentagon has made it clear that they are in fact
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: looking at in essence plans, attack plans, and the CIA
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: is involved in monitoring narco terrorists where they are, where
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: their labs are, and there's a very good chance the
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: President could be ordering the strike on their locations very
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: soon as well. What's even more surprising is the response,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: whether it's Mexico's president when she came out and said
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: there isn't a problem and said that it's not a
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: threat to America and that America must also respect the
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: sovereignty and stay out of Mexico. There's a very clear
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: line that's being drawn in the sand there. We also
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: know what the leader in Venezuela is saying. He's very
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: angry at the US. Why because there is a fifty
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: million dollar bounty on his head for arrest because he
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: is also a narco terrorist. So this is the president
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: putting his words into action, making it clear that the
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: president is not going to let this stand. Here's also
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: what Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, had to say,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: as he says the cartels, well, they're in for a
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: very route awakening.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: The president is going to be on offense against drug
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: cartels and drug trafficking in the United States. If you
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: stabilize it's not just the country, but the entire Caribbean
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: basin these particular drugs are probably headed to Trinidad or
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: some other country in the Caribbean, at which point they
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: just contribute to the instability these countries are facing.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: So The President's been very clear.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: He's going to use the full power of America, in
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: the full might of the United States, to take on
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: and eradicate these drug cartels, no matter where they're operating from,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: and no matter how long they've been able to act
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: with impunity, that those days are over.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Marco Rubio is absolutely right. The world should be paying
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: attention to what the President did. In fact, that's exactly
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: what Jim Hanson World Straight President had to say to
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Jesse Waters on his show after the Venezuela and Cocaine
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: boats strike. Listen carefully, cartel members, this is what you
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: need to understand.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Did you hear the Secretary of State not take strikes
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: inside of Venezuela off the table?
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: I don't think anything's off the table. And I think
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: anybody who thought that when President Trump designated the drug
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: cartels as terrorists he was kidding can take a look
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: at that oil slick in the Caribbean Sea and see
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: what they found out. This is a message to the
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: cartels and to state leaders who coddle them and allow
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: them to operate, that that's no longer a free ride
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: to make money bringing death into the United States.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: How robust is this operation going to be I.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Think as robust as they need to. I think, you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: it's fun.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: For Maduro and other people to say, oh, we know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: we've got marines, we've got IEDs, we've got these things.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: They don't have anything that can stand up to the
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: military might of the United States.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: And I think this is a good start.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: There will probably be some more object lessons, maybe a
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: drone strike on a lab something like that, and they're
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: pretty quickly going to find out that We're not going
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: to put up with them making billions of dollars, doing
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: human trafficking and killing our own citizens without a very
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: robust response, right.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: And so you have drugs pouring into the country, people
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: are dying, you have Chevron getting shot around with, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: you have a guy down there that's flirting with Putin,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: flirting with si and China. Do you think this kind
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: of operation, if it goes forward, has the support of
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: the American people.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, one hundred percent.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, the American people are sick of seeing these
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: drug traffickers and these cartels destroying our country with no consequences.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: And if any of these people.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: Down in South America think they're going to make friends
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: in our Hemisphere with the Russians and the Chinese or
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: anybody else. They're going to find out the President Trump
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: is back in charge, America is on top.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: That's not going to play.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Is there a risk of counter strikes inside US proper
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: from the cartels?
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: There is, you know, and the idea, I mean asymmetric
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: warfare is the Achilles heel of the United States. We
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: are one giant soft target here inside the United States. However,
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: payback can be a metavac if they try something like that,
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: you know, you go ahead and hit us here, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: you want to see some holy hell unleashed wherever you're operating.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I don't think they do it more than once.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: You may also be asked yourself the question why would
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: leaders of countries like Mexico not work with the president
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: to get rid of the cartels. President Trump on Air
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Force one back on five to five of this year,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: had this to say about the President of Mexico. Listen carefully,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: actually go wanted help with the cartels.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: We would be honored to go in and do it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I told her that I would be honored to go
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in to do it. Cartels are trying to destroy our country.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They're evil, but she's so afraid of that cartel she
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: can't walk stra into the sermation. Sir, and I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: she's a lovely woman, but the president of Mexigo is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a lovely woman. But she is so afraid of the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: contents that you can't even think srim.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: And that's exactly why the President of United States of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: America is stepping up now. So yes, hitting this boat
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: was important for our safety and security. It also was
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: important to send a message to the cartel members that
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: if you're running drugs into America, you are a target
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of the United States of America. And based on what
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: we're watching right now, this is not the end, but
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: probably the beginning of President Trump's war on drugs, except
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: his war is going to have American military behind it.
