1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: What I have to do is I have to get

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: the workers back.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: I have to get the factories open. We have ninety

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: thousand factories and plants are closed from what you had

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 2: just brought it a NAFTA and we gave it away.

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Presidents before me gave it away, and I can name

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: every one of them, but they gave it away and would.

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: Take it back.

9
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Good Wednesday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here

12
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: are the three big stories we've got for you today.

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: First up, you may be shocked to find out that

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: during COVID we were sending hundreds of millions of dollars

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: and loans to children. You want to talk about fraud.

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Doge found it and I'll give you the details. Plus,

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: you may remember just a couple of days ago, the

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Hamas protester on a college campus that got a visit

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: from Ice. Well, now Democrats are defending that individual. You

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: can't make it up. I'll give you what they're saying

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: about him in just a moment. And finally, you remember

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: that app that the Biden Harris administration used to allow

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: even more legal immigrants into the interior of the US. Well,

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: call it a reverse UNO card, because there's a new

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: app under Trump, but it's for self deportation. It's the

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: Story number one.

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: This may be one of the most shocking stories of waste,

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: fraud of use coming from DOGE so far. They're now

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: saying children aged eleven and under were granted three hundred

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: and twelve million dollars of your tax dollars in loans

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: during the coronavirus pandemic. Thousands of loans worth three hundred

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: and twelve million granted to children. DOGE, which is headed

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: by Elon Muss, said it discovered that the Small Business

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Administration you may know them as SBA, had granted about

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: five thousand, six hundred loans worth three hundred and twelve

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: million to quote borrowers whose own only listed owner was

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: eleven years old or younger at the time the loan

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: was granted. These loans, by the way, were granted over

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: a two year period in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Quote.

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: While it is possible to have business arrangements where this

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: is legal. That is highly unlikely for these five thousand,

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and ninety three loans, as they all also

44
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: used a SO Security number with an incorrect name. That

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: is what the agency posted on X when they exposed

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: all of this. DOGE did not say what the loans

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: were used for, although the agency said it would work

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: with the SBA to solve this problem. Quote this week,

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: here's something else that will also make you angry, DOGE

50
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: making this announcement along with another post. The agency also

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: revealed that the Small Businesssociation also issued more than three

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: thousand loans for three hundred and thirty three million in

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one to borrowers that were

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: actually over the age of one hundred and fifteen. That's right.

55
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, the Small Bit

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Association issued the three thousand, ninety five loans, including the

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: PPP money and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, for

58
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: a total of three hundred and thirty three million to

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: borrowers that were all over the age of one hundred

60
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen who are still marked as alive in the

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Social Security database. In one case, just so you know

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: how egregious. This is there was a one hundred and

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: fifty seven year old individual that received thirty six thousand

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: in loans. The agency has confirmed the discoveries come as

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: dogs continues its mission of rooting out fraud and wasteful

66
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: spending in the federal government. We also know from news

67
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: reporting that this may be the tip of the iceberg

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: of other corrupt loans that may have been given to

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: people that aren't even alive, or have fake names or

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: so security numbers that don't match other names that were

71
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: being used. Now, we all heard during COVID that there

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: was a lot of abuse and that they were giving

73
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: out money left and right. The question now is will

74
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: there be accountability for this? And that is where the

75
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: good news actually comes in. Not only is Doade saying

76
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: they're going to uncover this, but hopefully they're going to

77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: find out who actually got the money, because more than

78
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: likely it wasn't a one hundred and fifty seven year

79
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: old individual that was receiving the thirty six thousand dollars.

80
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Should these people be prosecuted, there's a very good chance

81
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: that if you took this money and you claimed you

82
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: were one hundred and fifty seven years old, You're going

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: to find out the hard way. Next story number two,

84
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made it very clear that if you were

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: in this country as a guess, going to a university

86
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: in this country, and you become rati and incite violence,

87
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: or advocate for violence, or organize violence, or you're one

88
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: of those as attacking Jewish students or any other student

89
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: for that matter, of any religion, well then you're not

90
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: welcome in America. So what happens when one of those

91
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: students gets caught doing many of these things and Democrats

92
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: rally together, you think they're on the side of getting

93
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: rid of the student. No, no, no, no, Democrats are

94
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 1: now protesting the arrest of a Syrian radical in New York.

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: That's right, Democrats and their media allies are defending an

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: arrest of the Syrian man who led New York university

97
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: protests against Israel's post October seventh counter attack on Hamas's

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Jihati killers. Now, the White House fought back today, making

99
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: it clear, with the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt

100
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: saying this about the individual and what Donald Trump is

101
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: going to do with other students that may be thinking

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: about doing the same.

103
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: Well, in fact, Secretary Rubio reserves the right to revoke

104
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: the visa of Mahmoud Khalil, and I'm glad you brought

105
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: this up. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Secretary

106
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: of State has the right to revoke a green card

107
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: or a visa for individuals who serve adversarial to the

108
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: foreign policy and national security interests of the United States

109
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: of America. And Mahmoud Khalil was an individual who was

110
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: given the privilege of coming to this country to study

111
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: at one of our nation's finest universities in colleges, and

112
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: he took advantage of that opportunity, of that privilege by

113
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 4: siding with terrorists Hamas, terrorists who have killed innocent men, women,

114
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: and children. This is an individual who organized group protests

115
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish

116
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: American students and made them feel unsafe on their own

117
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: college campus, but also distributed pro Hamas propaganda to flyers

118
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: with the logo of Hamas. That is what the behavior

119
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 4: and activity that this individual engaged in. And I have

120
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: those flyers on my desk. They were provided to me

121
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: by the Department of Homeland Security. I thought about bringing

122
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: them into this briefing room to share with all of you.

123
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: But I didn't think it was worth the dignity of

124
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: this room to bring that pro hamas propaganda. But that's

125
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: what this individual distributed on the campus of Columbia University.

126
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: And this administration is not going to tolerate individuals having

127
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 4: the privilege of studying in our country and then siding

128
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: with pro terrorist organizations that have killed Americans. We have

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: a zero tolerance policy for siding with terrorists, period.

130
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: One thing that seems to be very clear is that

131
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his deputies are on solid legal ground,

132
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: at least that is according to immigration lawyers, who say

133
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: that this individual number one is not a citizen, but

134
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: as a green card that allows him to live in

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: the United States pending an expected request for citizenship. But

136
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the green cards provide little additional legal protection, then that's

137
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: granted to tourists. Democrats can complain and send letters like

138
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: they did this week, saying that this individual should stay

139
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: and they even claimed he was quote abducted by the

140
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: US government. I'm not joking. In fact, the liberal co

141
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: signers of this letter included Rashid Talib representativel Omar. So

142
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: when these Democrats tell you who they are, that they

143
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: are gonna always stand with radical extremists. Believe them because

144
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: they are in fact radical extremists. As for Donald Trump

145
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: and his administration, it's very clear that it's game on

146
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: if you're a radical protester in this country on a

147
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: green card, and if you're causing problems, there's a very

148
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: good chance you're going back to your home country.

149
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: And finally, story number three.

150
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Two simple words leave now. The Trump administration is now

151
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: repurposing the controversial CBP one app to encourage self deportations.

152
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Bill Malugin putting it out on Twitter, saying that trumpet

153
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: administration is essentially hijacked the Biden administration program, a key

154
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: pillar of his immigration policy, and has repurposed it for

155
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: the opposite effect. That's right, self deportation. That is what

156
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is saying we expect. And Biden's app,

157
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: which expedited the invasion of this country by illegal immigrants,

158
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: has now been repurposed. And here is part of what

159
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: Bill Malujin had to say about this breaking news on

160
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Fox and.

161
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 5: Dana, Good morning to you. So this is pretty remarkable.

162
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell

163
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 5: phone app for migrants that the Biden administration was using,

164
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app that

165
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 5: is officially launching today and we're getting an exclusive first

166
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 5: look at it.

167
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: Take a look.

168
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: The app is now called CBP Home. It allows illegal

169
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 5: aliens in the US to register to self deport. They

170
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: fill out biographical information including their countries of citizenship, which

171
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 5: country they plan to work, turn to their alien registration numbers,

172
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: their contact information, and it allows them to upload photos

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: of themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is

174
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: then submitted to CBP and they leave the country. Now

175
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: you might be asking yourself, well, why would an illegal

176
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 5: immigrant want to self deport? Well, DHS says if they

177
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: leave now, they will have the opportunity to return to

178
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: the US legally in the future and chase the American dream.

179
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: But if they don't leave, they will be found, arrested, detained,

180
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: and deported with a permanent ban on entry into the

181
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: United States. In a statement to Fox News, DHS Secretary

182
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: Christy Nome said, in part quote, the Biden administration exploited

183
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 5: the CBP one app to allow more than one million

184
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 5: aliens to illegally enter the United States with the launching

185
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: of the CBP home app. We are restoring integrity to

186
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: our immigration system. If they don't self deport, we will

187
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: find them, deport them, and they will never return. The

188
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: Biden administration's use of the CBP one app allowed more

189
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 5: than forty thousand migrants to come into the US at

190
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 5: a port of entry every single month. That totaled nearly

191
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 5: one million migrants by the end of his presidency. President

192
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: Trump terminated that app immediately upon taking office, leading the

193
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 5: scenes like this showing migrants dismayed at the border on

194
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: the day of his inauguration as they learned their CBP

195
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 5: one appointments were canceled and were never coming back. And

196
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: DHS tells me that any migrants who had that CBP

197
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: one app on their phone will see it automatically update

198
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 5: to this new self deportation app starting today, and DHS

199
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 5: can also use the data from the prior CBP one

200
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: registrations to track migrants for removal. So, in a nutshell

201
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 5: data Trump just took Biden's program which was bringing migrants

202
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 5: in and has now totally repurposed it to get them out.

203
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: So there's one thing here that's pretty clear. Self deport

204
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: or risk never being allowed back into this country. The

205
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security said it best when they said,

206
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: you will maybe be able to return legally in the

207
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: future if you self deport now, but if you do not,

208
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: then you will be arrested and deported and permanently banned.

209
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: It goes back to Donald Trump's new mantra fa FO.
