  Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: aren't returned by Saturday at twelve o'clock, I would say
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: cancel it, and all events are off and let hell
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: break out, all of them.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Not in drips and drafts, not two and one and
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: three and four and two.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: All hell is going to break out.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with you and hear the
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: big stories we're covering today on the forty seven Morning Update.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: First up, Elon must and Doge have found massive waste
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: when it comes to your tax dollars going to luxury
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: hotels that are housing illegal immigrants.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: How much money I'll tell you in just a moment.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Also, Donald Trump has come out with a new warning
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: that if the hostages are not released by Saturday, there
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: will be hell to pay for those that took the
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: hostages in Israel. And finally, Donald Trump says it's time
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: to make a deal with Iran.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: He would rather make that deal than well go to war.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I'll have the latest on the threat against Iran, especially
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: with their nuclear program. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Cutting waste, fraud, and abuse is clearly a theme of
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration. Exposing it is the hard part, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: it seems that Elon Musk and DOGE are having success
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: every single day. Their latest success comes as an even
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: bigger shock to American tax payers. We have now found
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: out that DOGE says that FEMA sent fifty nine million
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: dollars in payments just last week to hotels in New
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: York City that are housing illegal aliens. The Department of
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Government Efficiency uncovering that fifty nine million dollar FEMA payment
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: from just last week to house all of these legal
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: aliens and what they described as quote, luxury hotels in
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: New York City. Now, to be clear, there are quite
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a few Americans that are suffering from natural disasters. They
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: are not receiving fifty nine million dollars from FEMA for
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: luxury hotels, whether it's in California with the wildfires or
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the flooding that we saw after a hurricane hit the
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: East coast all the way down to Tennessee. Now, this
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: is what we've also found out about these payments and
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: serious corruption involved with them. The payments come after the
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Biden administration had claimed that FEMA was not using funds
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to support illegal immigrants. Quote it's just categorically false. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: is not true. That was the statement from the former
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: White House pre Secretary Jean Pierre that she said over
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: and over again, including in October when she was asked
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: about are FEMA funds going.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: To support illegal aliens.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Republicans have argued that FEMA did not have enough money
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: in the fall to help victims of the hurricane in
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: North Carolina and in Tennessee. The President Joe Biden's Apartment
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: of Homeland Security claimed those reports were quote completely false,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and noted the agency had an enough money to fund
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: relief efforts and the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: which the Biden administration authorized in late twenty twenty two
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to respond to the migrant crisis. Well, now we know
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: they were lying to every single American, every taxpayer. Musk,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: who is leading the Doge initiative to cut waste, fraud,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and abuse, said the FEMA payment violated the law and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: quote a clawback demand will be made today to recoup
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: those taxpayer funds.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: He also tweeted out more about exactly how this went down,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: saying the DOGE team just discovered that the FEMA payments
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: were sent last week fifty nine million in total to quote,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: luxury hotels in New York City to specifically house illegal immigrants.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Sending this money violate the law and is a gross
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: insubordination to the President's executive order. What this means is
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the deep State is still fighting back against President Donald Trump.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: They knew they were not allowed to make this payment,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: and they did it anyway. He then said that money
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: spent on high end hotels for illegals. The other question
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: everyone should be asking now is who's getting the kickbacks
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and who got these hotels hooked up with these massive payments,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: and how long have they been receiving the payments and
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: how much money are we talking about overall that went
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to illegal immigrants now. President Donald Trump announced this executive
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: order to improve FEMA's efficiency, priorities, and competence, including evaluating
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: whether FEMA's bureaucracy in disaster response ultimately harms the agency's
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: ability to successfully respond. The executive order reads it has
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: lost mission focus and diverting limited staff and resources to
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: support missions beyond its scope and authority, spending well over
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a billion dollars to welcome illegal aliens. The order added,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Trump suggested on jail Anuary of the twenty four, just
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: four days after he was TOWRN in that quote, maybe
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: getting rid of FEMA and instead permitting the federal government
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to send funds to the state to deploy to disaster
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: relief would be a better use of our tax dollars.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: President then said, I also will be signing executive order
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, FEMA
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: is not good. Well, now we know that FEMA said,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: we don't care what you say, mister President. We are
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: going to send to people that own these hotels massive
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: payments of fifty nine million to house illegal immigrants, putting
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants ahead of American citizens. Question now is how
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: quick will the present move to shut down FEMA In
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: response to this, We'll keep you.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Posted now story number two.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: If there's anything you can take away from the Trump administration,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: it's that very clearly they are working twenty four to
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: seven for the American people, whether it's protecting your tax
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: dours or dealing with issues of national security and foreign policy.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump has a very new and very real demand
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: when it comes to Hamas. He is demanding that they
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: free all the hostages by Saturday noon, or the ceasefire
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: deal is off and Israel can unleash Holy hell. The President,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: in his own words, saying this from the Oval Office, Well.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I would say this, and I'm going to let that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because it's Israel's decision. But as far as I'm concerned,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: twelve o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: cancel it, and all bets are off and let hell
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: break out. I'd say they ought to be returned by
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: twelve o'clock on Saturday. And if they're not returned.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: All of them, not in drips and drafts, not two
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and one and three and four and two Saturday at
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: twelve o'clock.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And after that, I would say, all hell is going
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to break out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: All hell is going to break out. President Trump issuing
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: this ultimatum to Hamas, saying, you got a week or less.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: He said it on Monday, you must release all the
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: remaining Israeli hostages and American hostages from Gaza by noon
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: on Saturday, or the ceasefire deal is over. This is
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: a threat that President Donald Trump has made that Joe
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Biden didn't make in well over a year.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: When he says all bets are off, let hell break out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: It's very clear that the President saying, I am supporting
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Israel fighting back and unleashing Holy hell on you. The
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: President made his announcement why after Hamas said it would
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: delay the release of the hostages in the first phase
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: of the six week ceasfire deal. Citings supported Israeli violations
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: they claim of the deal. In Israelis speculate that Hamas
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: had been badly stung by the global reaction to the
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: site of an emancipated Israeli hostage being released on set Saturday.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: The President himself said that they reminded him of Holocaust
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: survivors after the Second World War. Times of Israel reported
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: this way. US President Donald Trump says the Gaza sees
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: fire and hostage release deal should be canceled if all
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the hostages are not released by twelve on Saturday noon.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Trump said in December that there would be quote all
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: hell to pay if Hamas did not release the hostages
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: by January the twentieth. Now, the current hostage deal was
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: reached in January, and Trump appeared to accept the Biden
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: administration's plan to have the hostages released in a multi
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: phase process. There are seventy three hostages still in Gaza,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: seventeen of.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Whom are still slay to be released in the first phase.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Not all of them are alive, and dozens would have
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: remained in captivity until a second phase of the agreement.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Now the President saying I want them all home. Now.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: We'll have to wait and see what the next move
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: is by Hamas, but it's clear that the President is
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: not willing to wait any longer.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: And lastly, story number three.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: It is very clear that Donald Trump's foreign policy is
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: one that he is willing to make changes, especially when
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: it comes to different countries. The way he treats Hamas,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: for example, is very different than the way he's talking
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: about Iran right now. How do we know this because
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: of a sit down interview that the President has done
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: talking about Iran and saying he's ready to make a deal.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: It's also very clear that the President is not going
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: to let Iran get a nuclear weapon, take a listen.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: It went down to nothing. Now they are up to
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: a tremendous amount of money. I think there's a deal
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: there in Iran. Yeah, I think we're going to make
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: a deal in a run. I think I would rather okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: And you know, there are a lot of people think
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: that we are going to attack or Israel or with
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: our blessing or is what Israel needs us? Everybody needs us.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: We have the weapons, we have the strength with very
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: strong I rebuilt our military, and people forget I rebuilt
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: our own. Now, they shouldn't have given a lot to Afghanistan,
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: which they did. They gave a lot. There was no
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: reason for that. But we're very strong. We have things
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: that nobody else has, so they need us. But everyone
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: thinks Israel, with our help or our approval, we'll go
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: in and bomb the hell out of them. I would
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: prefer that not happened. I'd much rather see a deal
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: with Iron where we can do a deal, supervise, check it,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: inspect it and then blow it up, or just make
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: sure that there's no more nuclear there.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We just a better deal than the Obama nuclear deal.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Well that there was the dumbest so by the way,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: that would have expired by now. That was a road
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: to a nuclear weapon. It was a short term deal.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: You can make a deal with just a few years
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: on it. That deal would be expired by now, think
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: of it, and they would have a legal right to
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: have a nuclear weapon. You can't allow them to have
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: a new flureban. But there's two ways of stopping them
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: with bombs or with a written piece of paper. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I'd much rather do a deal that's a deal that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: not going to hurt them, and I think they wanted to.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I think that Iran is very concerned. I think that
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Iran is very frightened, to be honest with you, because
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: their defense is.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Pretty much gone.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Maybe they get to trying to get new defense as
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: we speak, you know, they're meaning air defense, but their
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: defense is largely gone. They've had some very bad moments.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: The whole thing with the Pages was a disaster for them.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: The Pages, you know what I'm talking about. It was
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: a horrible thing, but it was you know, knocked out
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: a lot of leadership like nobody's ever seen before. But
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: I think of Iran is very nervous. I think they're scared.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I think Iran would love to make a deal and
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: I would love to make a deal with them without
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: bombing them.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: This is making liberals' heads explode. They want to blame
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is a guy that's going to get us into.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Warld War three. But it's very clear the presence willing
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: to make a deal.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: That's the question that everyone asked at the very beginning,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: could Donald Trump make a deal? Well, he's walking up
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: to a Ran right now saying let's make a deal
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: instead of us having a major war. The President says
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: he believes he will get that deal done. And there's
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: many in the foreign policy arena that believe that Iran
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: is willing to now make a real deal for a
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: long term stability with an Iran nuclear program. And if
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: it doesn't happen, President's also saying he is going to
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: make sure they don't get a nuclear weapon. So it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: up to Iran now what happens. But the President clearly
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: is saying let's talk.
