• 1:52
  Speaker 4: events are off and let hell break out, all of them,

• 1:57

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