  Speaker 1: but it's all about the people.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want my dollars going towards this scrap, and

  Speaker 4: announcing a thirty day pause on tariffs and a one
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: point three billion dollar spend on border security. Trudeau even
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: agreed to appoint a FETNL czar, which will save countless
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: American lives. Up next, Donald Trump goes to war with USAID,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: saying it turned out to be a radical left lunatic
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: filled organization wasting taxpayer dollars. It has now been an
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: essence shut down and the lunatics have been not allowed
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: back in the bill. I'll have the details on that
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: in just a moment. And finally, the new Jersey governor
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: came out now bragging that he had an illegal immigrant
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: living in his compound. His staff is now walking it back,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: saying it's not actually true. Tom Homan responds to this
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: news and explains what he's going to do next.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: If you believe the headlines from the liberal media, you
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: would have thought that Donald Trump made a massive mistake
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: threatening to put tariffs and then actually signing an executive
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: order on Canada and Mexico. NBC News's headline on Monday
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: morning read this way Trump dealing with fallout after imposing
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. The leaders of Canada
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Mexico threatened retaliatory tariffs, while China said it will file
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: All doom and gloom.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Well, it didn't take months or weeks, or even really
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: that many days for this tariff threat to become a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: massive victory for Donald Trump. Not only did Canada cave,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: but so did Mexico. Let's talk about Canada first. Trudeau
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: submitted to Donald Trump and announced a thirty day pause
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: on the tariff, saying he's excited to work together with America.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: He also is part of the deal, is now going
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: to spend one point three billion dollars on a border
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: security plan. He has even decided to appoint a fetanyl czar.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: This was a massive victory to save lives in America.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And not only did the Canadian Prime Minister cave to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump's demand to crack down on fetanyl trafficking
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and to reinforce the Canada US border, but he also
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: said he's looking for a long term solution to the problem.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: You look at Mexico and they, in essence did the
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: same exact thing, sending ten thousand of their men and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: women from the military to the border to actually help
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: secure it and also going after the fetanyl that is
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: flowing into this country. There's no denying that this is
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a massive victory for safety, security and to.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Get rid of drugs in this country.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Yet the media wanted you to believe that Donald Trump
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: was being reckless, dangerous and putting your livelihood and the
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: cost of goods and services at risk, something that JD.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Vance decided was a great moment to mock the media
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: for doing exactly what I just said.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Now, actually I was in the air. I talked to
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: the President very briefly about this. He spoke with the
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: President of Mexico this morning, and the President of Mexico
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: committed to putting ten thousand additional Mexican troops on that
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: southern border, our southern border, of course, the Mexican's northern border,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: to take law enforcement more seriously, to go after those
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Mexican drug cartels a little bit more aggressively. So for
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: literally three days I heard the far left in this
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: country say that these tariffs would make americans lives worse off.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: So what actually happened is the Mexican government was so
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: afraid of the tariffs that they actually are taking their
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: border enforcement and their anti cartel activity more seriously. That
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: is not a pathway to making Americans worse off. That's
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: a pathway to making Americans better off.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: If the media was being intellectually honest and not slandering
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and attacking the President Donald Trump, they would have told
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: you the American people this Donald Trump was leveraging tariffs
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: for national security, and the use of these tariffs has
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: been an effective negotiating tool to secure commitments from these
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: trading partners addressing the critical issues like drug trafficking and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: border security. Now the foundation for future agreements has also
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: been laid because of these tariff threats. The agreements with
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Canada and Mexico are now setting a positive precedent for
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: all future negotiations, potentially leading to more comprehensive trade deals
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: that benefit the US and in essence all parties involved,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: because the President is also make it clear that the
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: trade deficits are unacceptable. Now, these developments clearly highlight the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: administration's efforts to use economic measures strategically to enhance our
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: national security and promote favorable trade conditions with our neighbors.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, Donald Trump was right,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and it took less than thirty six hours to prove
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: to the world and to the bias media and to
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the Democrats that he understands the art.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Of the deal.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Now story number two.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: When Donald Trump was running for the presidency the second time,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: he made a very clear promise the American people he
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: was going to go into this government and save your
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: tax hours from fraud, waste, and abuse. Well, apparently an
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: awful lot of our tax dours have been going to
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: all of those categories. When it comes to USAID, a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: program that Donald Trump actually liked when he was present
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: back in twenty sixteen. What did they find this time
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: after it was radicalized by the Biden Harris administration.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: The first from the USA was something that you liked
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: in some respect. I love the concept. Yeah that's a program.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Sure, I love the concept. But they turned out to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be radical left lunatics and the concept of it is good,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: but it's all about the people.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump making it clear USA turned out to
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: be radical left lunatics.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: So what did he do? In response?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: USAID staffers were told to stay out of the DC
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: headquarters after Elon Musk said that Trump agreed to shut
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: it down, calling it just a ball of worms. The
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: workers received an email Monday telling them to stay out
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: of the agency's DC headquarters now. Staffords with the US
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Agency for International Development were actually ordered quote it the
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: direction of agency leadership to work remotely except for personnel
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: with essential on site and building maintenance functions individually contracted
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: by senior leadership. This according to an agency wide email
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: that was sent out. Further guidance will be forthcoming, is
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: what the email said at the end. Now you may
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: ask yourself why such a massive reaction from the White House. Well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the media, of course said this was an overreaction, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Democrats went to USA and stormed the building almost like
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: it was an insurrection. Well, they brought receipts at the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: White House, as the White House Press Secretary let the
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: American people know exactly why they decided it's time to
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: shut it all down.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And here's the reason why Elon Musk and others have
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: been taking a look, because if you look at the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: waste and abuse that has run through USAID over the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: past several years, these are some of the insane priorities
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that that organization has been spending money on. One point
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: five million dollars to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces, seventy
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: thousand for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: forty seven thousand for a transgender off brought in Colombia,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: thirty two thousand for a transgender comic book in Peru.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I don't want my dollars going towards this scrap, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I know the American people don't either. And that's exactly
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: do to get the fraud, waste and abuse out of
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: our federal government.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And that, my friends, is what you call bringing the receipts.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: The list of just some of the waste and abuse
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: at USAID that DOGE had been working on eliminating.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: That list is just some highlights.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: They apparently are finding even more abuse of your tax
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: dollars being used for the most ridiculous things. You could
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: imagine that forty seven thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: No one, whether a Republican or Democrats, should be in
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: favor of that, thirty two thousand for transgender comic books
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: in Peru. None of our money should be going to
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: comic books in Peru ever period. And the one point
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: five million to advance Dei in Serbia's workplaces. The real
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: question now people should be asking is who was on
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: the take when the money went to these different countries.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Where did the money actually end up? Did seventy thousand
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: actually really go to production of a Dei musical in
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Ireland or with someone just taking that money funneling that
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: money that I have a feeling is what Elon Musk
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: is going to dig into next. But let me say
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: this it's clear that Trump administration is not just stopping
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: with DEI. They're not just stopping with USAID. They're not
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: stopping with anywhere in the government where they see waste
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: and abuse and the abuse of our tax dollars that
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: we work so hard for being sent all over the world.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: And lastly, story number three.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: So let's be very clear about one thing we've learned
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: about the Democrats over the last two weeks as Donald
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Trump has been president. They are not going to sit
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: down and just honor the American people's wishes. A perfect
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: example of this is the New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Murphy sticking his finger in the eye of the Trump administration,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: giving the middle finger to law and order, and bragging
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: apparently about harboring an illegal immigrant in his home. Problem is,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: it is backfired on him very quickly. The comments that
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: you're about to hear came from a weekend get together
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: of a bunch of liberals, and this is what the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: New Jersey Democratic governor said.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Tammy and I were talking about. I don't want to
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: get into too much detail, but there's someone in our
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: point that they are trying to get it to and
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: we said, you know what, let's have her live at
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: our house above our garage, and good luck to the
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Feds coming in to try to get her.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It didn't take long for his staff to then claim
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: that he was actually incorrectly saying that an illegal immigrant
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: was staying at his home. Why because the video went
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: viral and Tom Homan was asked about on John Handy's show,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and this is what he had to say in response, I've.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Gotten hold of it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Won't let it go.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: We'll look into it. And if he's normally normally harbor
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: and concealing an illegulian, that's a violation on ty the
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: way in I stays quote thirteen twenty four, I will
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: So maybe he's bluffing.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: If he's not, we'll deal with that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Maybe he's bluffing, Well, that is exactly what the staff
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: is hoping you will believe. Here is what they said
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to the media late last night. Phil Murphy's rep is
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: now claiming that the New Jersey governor is quote not
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: sheltering a migrant aka and illegal immigrant at his home,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: despite daring the feds to quote unquote try to get her.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: The New Jersey Governor's office is quote furiously fighting back
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: at the governor's comments boasting that he had opened his
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: home to the illegal immigrant. The rep is telling the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: New York Post that the Looselip Jersey leader had been
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: misinterpreted quote unquote, and that no such situation had occurred,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: even though Murphy had dared the FEDS to come after
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: the illegal immigrant. Now in the media, press for a
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: clarification a little bit more than what they were saying.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Here is the final response from the staff. Quote, no
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: one ever lived in the home under those circumstances that
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: the governor clearly described. The representative insisted the moral of
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the story. You may not have to take the governor's
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: word for it, after all, as Tom Holman and Ice
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: are preparing quite possibly to go take a look at
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Governor Murphy's home.
