Executive Order to Secure Elections plus Defunding Planned Parenthood and the FEMA Overhaul · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This should have been done a long time ago by Biden,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: but Biden was an incompetent president.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: He couldn't do anything it. He didn't know where where
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: it was going. He had no clue.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And we've had numerous successful evenings and days in that area.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: The hoodies are absolutely on the run.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: The worst of them has been killed.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Good Wednesday morning. Ben Ferguson with it. It's nice to
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: are the three big stories that you need to know about.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: First up, the President signing an executive order to secure
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: America's elections, meaning that your vote might actually count more
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: than ever before. Also, the Trump administration is cutting off
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: federal funding to Plan Parenthood. Between twenty nineteen and twenty
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: twenty one, Planned Parenthood performed one point one one million
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: abortions and much of it was subsidized with your tax dollars.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Have the breakdown of that story in just a moment.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: And finally, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy no
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: coming out saying we are preparing to eliminate FEMA. Could
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: it be because of all the waste, fraud and abuse.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump making liberal heads explode. Why because he said
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: enough is enough with election fraud. The President signing an
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: executive order to secure our elections. This is the President
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: at the White House, in his own words on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: executive order.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Lastly, sir, we have an executive order for your attention
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: on the very important subject of election integrity. We believe
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: that this executive order is the farthest reaching executive action
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: taken in the history of the Republic to secure our elections.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Among numerous other aspects of this executive order, this is
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: going to cut down on illegal immigrants on the voter rolls,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: ensure that the Department of Homeland Security and the data
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: that they have available is being fully weaponized to ensure
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: that illegal immigrants aren't voting. This will include a citizenship
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: question on the federal voting form for the first time.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: This executive order instructs the EAC to cut federal funding
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to states that don't take reasonable steps to secure their election.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: This calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously prosecute
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: election crimes, particularly in states that we don't believe are
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: in compliance with federal law around election integrity. I could
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: go on and on for a while, sir, But compliance
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: with National Election Day rules, cracking down and investigating and
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: prosecuting foreign interference in our elections, Revoking President Biden's Executive
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Order fourteen one point nine, which essentially weaponized government to
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: corrupt and pollute our election process. There's a lot in here,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: but we believe that these are very important steps that
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: we need to be taking as an administration in your
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: direction to ensure that our elections are as secure as
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: they possibly can be.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Election fraud. You've heard the term will end it. Hopefully
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: this will go a long way toward ending it. There
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: are other steps that we will be taking as at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in the coming weeks, and we think we'll be able
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to end up getting fair elections. Perhaps some people think
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't be complaining because we won in a landslide,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: but we're going to straighten out our election. This country
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is so sick because of the election, the fake elections,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and the band election, and we're going to straighten it
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: out one way or the other. And it's an honor
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to sign this one, to sign all of them.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But to sign this one is a great honor.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: So let's go through the list of things that are
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: going to drive the left and say, you actually have
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: to show proof of citizenship for voting. What a novel idea.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: You can't get into virtually any other government program without
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: showing proof of citizenship, But when you show up to
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: vote in many liberal areas of the country like now,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: we'll just trust your word. Also, funds tied to integrity
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: compliance are involved in the executive order and paper ballots.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: There's something else called checks and balances, as many do
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: not trust the electronic machines. Also, the Attorney General is
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: going to track election fraud, making it a much bigger
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: issue so that when those who cheat are caught, there
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: will be hell to pay. Also, a crackdown on late ballots.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: This is so important for election integrity because after someone
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: sees the results, allowing in late ballots can also be
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: abused in a major way to alter or change the
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: outcome of an election. And finally, the President United States
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: of America, in this executive action axes Biden's voter turnout
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: executive Order that was meant to allow for more waste,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: fraud and abuse of our election day system. So to
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump, I got to say congratulations and job
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: well done. He also teas we're going to be doing
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: more and we're expecting to hear more about that from
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the White House in the coming days.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Next story number two.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: In a move that may become one of the most
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: important moves from Donald Trump's entire time as being president
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: United States of America, he may good on a promise
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to protect unborn children in this country. The Trump administration
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: is about to cut off federal funding to Plan Parenthood.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Just how bad is it. Between twenty nineteen and twenty
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: twenty one, Planned Parenthood performed one point one one million
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: abortions while receiving approximately one point seven eight billion in
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: your tax dollars federal funding. Now, this is an average
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: of five hundred and ninety two million dollars every year.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: If you look at their total budget, your tax dollurs
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: are covering over forty percent of their quote revenue. It
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Planned Parenthood. Now, they want you to believe that the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: money we send from the federal government does not go
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: to abortions. It's very clear it subsidizes those one point
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: one to one million abortions. Over the last two years
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: that we have data on because we're giving them so
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: much funding. Overall, NOD is being fooled Planned Parenthood. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: money is used for these abortion factories, and that is
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: exactly why the President United States of America is standing
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: up for American taxpayer dollars, saying they must not be
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: used to kill innocent unborn babies. Now, as of March
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: to twenty fifth, the Trump administration is planning to freeze
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: approximately twenty seven point five million in federal family Planning
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: grants to certain organizations, including Planned Parenthood affiliates. This action
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: aims to investigate whether these funds were used for diversity efforts,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: ensuring compliance with President Trump's executive order and federal law.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: The potential suspension will impact services, no doubt at Planned Parenthood.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: We know that Planned Parenthood has four thousand clinics and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Planned Parenthood is well the number one abortion provider in
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: America and actually in the world. Vice President Jedi Vance
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: has previously indicated that a future Trump administration would seek
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to defund Planned Parenthood, stating at the time, quote our
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: view is we don't think that taxpayers should fund late
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: term abortions. In January of this year, President Trump signed
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: executive Order fourteen one eighty two titled Enforcing the High Amendment,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: which prohibits the use of federal taxpayer dollars for elective abortions.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: This order revoked prior related orders and directed agencies to
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: implement the policy. There was also another very important question
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: that was asked of Donald Trump. It was during a
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: press conference where it came out that the funding was
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: going to stop to Plan Parenthood, and there was another
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: question asked by a reporter specifically about Planned Parenthood selling
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: aborted baby body parts. Here's the question that the President
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: wanted to answer.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: If Planned Parenthood is defunded, would you look into the
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: harvesting of baby organs that they've done throughout the years
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: and maybe go up to some criminal prosecution on that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you're talking about a subject that is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a heated subject, and we'll look into it. We'll look
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: into everything. But that's certainly a subject that's been debated
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for a long time and we will.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Look into it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very obvious the President of United States of
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: America is not going to just stop with the funding,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: as he put it, we will look into it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And finally, story number three, we.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: All know that a core mission of the Trump administration
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: is to truly get rid of waste, fraud and abuse.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But just how bad is that fraud and abuse, especially
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: when it comes to agencies like FEMA. Well, apparently it
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: may be so bad now that the Department of Homland
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Security Secretary Christy no under Donald Trump is saying, quote,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: we are preparing to eliminate FEMA altogether. We also know
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: that FEMA has picked winners and losers, helping some Americans
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: when they need the emergency help and well forgetting others
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: depending on where you live in the country with a
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: homeancecar party. Secretary Christin nom has told the Trump administration
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: that preparations are underway quote unquote to eliminate the Federal
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Emergency Management Agency. It was a quick comment, by the way,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: on Monday, with no related lead in that, according to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: The Hill that got this scoop. President Donald Trump responded
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: with quote that's great, great job, in what seemed to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: be a reaction to her preceding comments on border security. Now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Trump said previously that he does not have a favorable
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: view of FEMA and has considered its elimination. Sener. Peter Welch,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: a Democrat from Vermont, posted on x his response to
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Gnoam's statement on eliminating FEMA by saying this, Vermont has
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: been hit hard by flooding the last two years, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I'm the first person to say that we need to
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: make improvements to FEMA, But eliminating it altogether would make
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: disasters more deadly and destructive and make it much harder
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: for communities to recover. Trump, by the way, signed an
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: executive order last week sitting the stage for a the
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: major overhaul of federal disaster relief programs. And let's be clear,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the President is not trying to eliminate disaster relief help
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: from the federal government. He is, however, clearly trying to
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: get rid of some of the waste and abuse of
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: programs under FEMA's directive. It read, in part, this executive
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: order delivers on President Trump's commitment to shift power from
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Washington to the American people. The order laid the foundation
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: for quote greater state and local control of emergencies and funding.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: The order enables states and local governments to better understand,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: plan for, and address the needs of their citizens by
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: reducing the complexity of federal preparedness and response policies. In
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: other words, Donald Trump is saying states know what they
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: need and local communities know what they need in a
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: disaster more than bureaucrats in Washington, d C. Now, there
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: is no official closing or in dat announced for FEMA
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: or any other federal office or department that responds to disasters. Clearly,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: the President wants to make sure that this is done
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: in a very responsible way and most importantly, that emergency
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: management response from the government is much better than it
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: is right now. You don't have to look very far
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: back in history to see also that FEMA may have
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: been involved in significant political actions, picking winners and losers
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: in the United States, depending on if you're in a
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: liberal state or a liberal city, or a conservative state
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: or a conservative city. Presidents made it clear that politics
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: shouldn't matter when you're dealing with emergencies, especially when you're
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: someone that may have lost everything, your home, your cars,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and even had a job that disappeared because of a disaster.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: And this is exactly why the President has the backing
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: of the American people on this issue.
