• 0:01
  Speaker 1: What I have to do is I have to get
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the workers back.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I have to get the factories open. We have ninety
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: thousand factories and plants are closed from what you had
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: just brought it a NAFTA and we gave it away.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Presidents before me gave it away, and I can name
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: every one of them, but they gave it away and would.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Take it back.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Good Wednesday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: are the three big stories we've got for you today.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: First up, you may be shocked to find out that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: during COVID we were sending hundreds of millions of dollars
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and loans to children. You want to talk about fraud.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Doge found it and I'll give you the details. Plus,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you may remember just a couple of days ago, the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Hamas protester on a college campus that got a visit
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: from Ice. Well, now Democrats are defending that individual. You
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: can't make it up. I'll give you what they're saying
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: about him in just a moment. And finally, you remember
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that app that the Biden Harris administration used to allow
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: even more legal immigrants into the interior of the US. Well,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: call it a reverse UNO card, because there's a new
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: app under Trump, but it's for self deportation. It's the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: This may be one of the most shocking stories of waste,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fraud of use coming from DOGE so far. They're now
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: saying children aged eleven and under were granted three hundred
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and twelve million dollars of your tax dollars in loans
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: during the coronavirus pandemic. Thousands of loans worth three hundred
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and twelve million granted to children. DOGE, which is headed
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: by Elon Muss, said it discovered that the Small Business
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Administration you may know them as SBA, had granted about
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: five thousand, six hundred loans worth three hundred and twelve
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: million to quote borrowers whose own only listed owner was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: eleven years old or younger at the time the loan
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was granted. These loans, by the way, were granted over
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a two year period in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Quote.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: While it is possible to have business arrangements where this
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is legal. That is highly unlikely for these five thousand,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: five hundred and ninety three loans, as they all also
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: used a SO Security number with an incorrect name. That
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is what the agency posted on X when they exposed
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all of this. DOGE did not say what the loans
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: were used for, although the agency said it would work
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: with the SBA to solve this problem. Quote this week,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: here's something else that will also make you angry, DOGE
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: making this announcement along with another post. The agency also
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: revealed that the Small Businesssociation also issued more than three
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: thousand loans for three hundred and thirty three million in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one to borrowers that were
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: actually over the age of one hundred and fifteen. That's right.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, the Small Bit
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Association issued the three thousand, ninety five loans, including the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: PPP money and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a total of three hundred and thirty three million to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: borrowers that were all over the age of one hundred
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and fifteen who are still marked as alive in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Social Security database. In one case, just so you know
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: how egregious. This is there was a one hundred and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: fifty seven year old individual that received thirty six thousand
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in loans. The agency has confirmed the discoveries come as
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: dogs continues its mission of rooting out fraud and wasteful
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: spending in the federal government. We also know from news
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: reporting that this may be the tip of the iceberg
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of other corrupt loans that may have been given to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: people that aren't even alive, or have fake names or
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so security numbers that don't match other names that were
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: being used. Now, we all heard during COVID that there
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was a lot of abuse and that they were giving
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: out money left and right. The question now is will
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: there be accountability for this? And that is where the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: good news actually comes in. Not only is Doade saying
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they're going to uncover this, but hopefully they're going to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: find out who actually got the money, because more than
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: likely it wasn't a one hundred and fifty seven year
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: old individual that was receiving the thirty six thousand dollars.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Should these people be prosecuted, there's a very good chance
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that if you took this money and you claimed you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: were one hundred and fifty seven years old, You're going
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to find out the hard way. Next story number two,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump made it very clear that if you were
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in this country as a guess, going to a university
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in this country, and you become rati and incite violence,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: or advocate for violence, or organize violence, or you're one
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of those as attacking Jewish students or any other student
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for that matter, of any religion, well then you're not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: welcome in America. So what happens when one of those
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: students gets caught doing many of these things and Democrats
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: rally together, you think they're on the side of getting
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: rid of the student. No, no, no, no, Democrats are
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: now protesting the arrest of a Syrian radical in New York.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That's right, Democrats and their media allies are defending an
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: arrest of the Syrian man who led New York university
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: protests against Israel's post October seventh counter attack on Hamas's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Jihati killers. Now, the White House fought back today, making
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it clear, with the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: saying this about the individual and what Donald Trump is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: going to do with other students that may be thinking
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: about doing the same.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Well, in fact, Secretary Rubio reserves the right to revoke
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: the visa of Mahmoud Khalil, and I'm glad you brought
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: this up. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Secretary
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: of State has the right to revoke a green card
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: or a visa for individuals who serve adversarial to the
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: foreign policy and national security interests of the United States
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: of America. And Mahmoud Khalil was an individual who was
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: given the privilege of coming to this country to study
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: at one of our nation's finest universities in colleges, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: he took advantage of that opportunity, of that privilege by
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: siding with terrorists Hamas, terrorists who have killed innocent men, women,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: and children. This is an individual who organized group protests
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: American students and made them feel unsafe on their own
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: college campus, but also distributed pro Hamas propaganda to flyers
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: with the logo of Hamas. That is what the behavior
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and activity that this individual engaged in. And I have
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: those flyers on my desk. They were provided to me
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: by the Department of Homeland Security. I thought about bringing
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: them into this briefing room to share with all of you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: But I didn't think it was worth the dignity of
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: this room to bring that pro hamas propaganda. But that's
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: what this individual distributed on the campus of Columbia University.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And this administration is not going to tolerate individuals having
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the privilege of studying in our country and then siding
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: with pro terrorist organizations that have killed Americans. We have
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: a zero tolerance policy for siding with terrorists, period.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: One thing that seems to be very clear is that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his deputies are on solid legal ground,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: at least that is according to immigration lawyers, who say
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that this individual number one is not a citizen, but
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: as a green card that allows him to live in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the United States pending an expected request for citizenship. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the green cards provide little additional legal protection, then that's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: granted to tourists. Democrats can complain and send letters like
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: they did this week, saying that this individual should stay
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and they even claimed he was quote abducted by the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: US government. I'm not joking. In fact, the liberal co
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: signers of this letter included Rashid Talib representativel Omar. So
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: when these Democrats tell you who they are, that they
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: are gonna always stand with radical extremists. Believe them because
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they are in fact radical extremists. As for Donald Trump
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and his administration, it's very clear that it's game on
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: if you're a radical protester in this country on a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: green card, and if you're causing problems, there's a very
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: good chance you're going back to your home country.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: And finally, story number three.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Two simple words leave now. The Trump administration is now
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: repurposing the controversial CBP one app to encourage self deportations.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Bill Malugin putting it out on Twitter, saying that trumpet
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: administration is essentially hijacked the Biden administration program, a key
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: pillar of his immigration policy, and has repurposed it for
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the opposite effect. That's right, self deportation. That is what
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration is saying we expect. And Biden's app,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: which expedited the invasion of this country by illegal immigrants,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: has now been repurposed. And here is part of what
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Malujin had to say about this breaking news on
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Fox and.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Dana, Good morning to you. So this is pretty remarkable.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: phone app for migrants that the Biden administration was using,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app that
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: is officially launching today and we're getting an exclusive first
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: look at it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Take a look.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: The app is now called CBP Home. It allows illegal
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: aliens in the US to register to self deport. They
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: fill out biographical information including their countries of citizenship, which
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: country they plan to work, turn to their alien registration numbers,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: their contact information, and it allows them to upload photos
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: of themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: then submitted to CBP and they leave the country. Now
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: you might be asking yourself, well, why would an illegal
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: immigrant want to self deport? Well, DHS says if they
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: leave now, they will have the opportunity to return to
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: the US legally in the future and chase the American dream.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: But if they don't leave, they will be found, arrested, detained,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: and deported with a permanent ban on entry into the
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: United States. In a statement to Fox News, DHS Secretary
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Christy Nome said, in part quote, the Biden administration exploited
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: the CBP one app to allow more than one million
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: aliens to illegally enter the United States with the launching
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: of the CBP home app. We are restoring integrity to
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: our immigration system. If they don't self deport, we will
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: find them, deport them, and they will never return. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Biden administration's use of the CBP one app allowed more
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: than forty thousand migrants to come into the US at
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: a port of entry every single month. That totaled nearly
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: one million migrants by the end of his presidency. President
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Trump terminated that app immediately upon taking office, leading the
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: scenes like this showing migrants dismayed at the border on
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: the day of his inauguration as they learned their CBP
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: one appointments were canceled and were never coming back. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: DHS tells me that any migrants who had that CBP
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: one app on their phone will see it automatically update
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: to this new self deportation app starting today, and DHS
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: can also use the data from the prior CBP one
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: registrations to track migrants for removal. So, in a nutshell
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: data Trump just took Biden's program which was bringing migrants
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: in and has now totally repurposed it to get them out.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So there's one thing here that's pretty clear. Self deport
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or risk never being allowed back into this country. The
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security said it best when they said,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you will maybe be able to return legally in the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: future if you self deport now, but if you do not,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: then you will be arrested and deported and permanently banned.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It goes back to Donald Trump's new mantra fa FO.
