1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Well, we have done that with many, So you have

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: eighteen Secret Service I would say if they're eighteen with

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, that will be something I look at this afternoon. Okay, sir,

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: I just heard about it for the first time. So

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: he's in South Africa. That's very interstic.

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with the unwelcome the forty

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. We've got three major stories for you

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: in first up, does the auto pen count with Joe

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: Biden's name if he didn't actually even know that it

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 3: was being used. That is a question that Donald Trump

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: is asked about the pardons that he gave to many

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: on his days when he was going out of office,

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: and we have reason to believe that many of those

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: pardons were not signed by the President's actual signature, but

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: instead by the auto pen. Also, Donald Trump spent quite

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: a few hours from last week to this week going

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: after terroris all over the Middle East. So what did

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: he accomplish. We'll explain that as well. And finally, President

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: Trump says that the JFK files will be released today.

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: How many pages I'll give that to you in a minute.

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: Story number one.

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has made it very clear declaring that Biden's

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: pardons of January sixth committee members are void vacant due

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: to the auto pen apparently being used. This all started

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: in a conversation on Marine one when a reporter asked

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: a very simple question of the President about that auto pen.

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: Listen, I would say that danelan one, because I'm sure

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: Biden didn't have any idea that it was taking Pliz

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: and somebody who was using an autopen to sign off

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: and to give the pardons to as an example, just

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: one example, with the j six unselected committee, they.

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 5: Gave think of it, they gave partners with an autopen.

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: I don't think Biden knew anything about it. And what

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: they did is they deleted and destroyed all of the

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 5: information that took them over a year to again. And

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 5: the reason they did that is because the information was

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 5: very incriminating about them, like Nancy Pelosi who was determined

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 5: conclusively that she knew about ten thousand soldiers and turned

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: it down. And if we used five hundred soldiers, you

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 5: would add no problem. Let alone ten thousand, the young

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 5: lady that said that I granted these powerful young secret

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 5: service agents by the next ring. Okay, you know that

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 5: was a big hoax. It was a lie, and she

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 5: admitted it, and they deleted everything, so you know what

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: they did a scrimat.

48
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: Now, that wasn't all that the President had to say

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: on this. He then put out a true social post

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: that said, quote, the part ends that sleepy Joe Biden

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: gave the Unselect Committee of political thugs and many others

52
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: or effect because of the fact that they were done

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: by Auto Penn. In other words, Joe Biden did not

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: sign them, but more importantly, he did not know anything

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: about them. The necessary parting documents were not explained to

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: or approved by Biden. He knew nothing about them, and

58
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore,

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: those on the Unselect Committee who destroyed and deleted all

60
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: evidence obtained during their two year witch on a me

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: and many other innocent people should fully understand that they

62
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: are subject to investigation at the highest level. President went

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: on to say this quote, The fact is they were

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: probably responsible for the documents that were signed on their

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: behalf without the knowledge or consent of the worst president

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: and history of our country, Crooked Joe Biden.

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: Now.

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: On Monday, during a White House Press briefing, the White

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt responded to a question from

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: CNN's Caitlyn Collins regarding Trump's post on Sunday night in

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: which he declared the pardons are void, vacant, and of

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: no further force or effect because of the fact that

73
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: they were done by the auto pen. Carolyn Levitt said,

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: Trump was begging the question, and I think a lot

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: of journalists in this room should be asking about whether

76
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: or not the former president of the United States, who

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: I think we can all finally agree, was cognitively impaired,

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: quote unquote.

79
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 6: The President was begging the question that I think a

80
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 6: lot of journalists in this room should be asking about

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 6: whether or not the former president of the United States,

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 6: who I think we can all finally agree, was cognitively impaired.

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 6: I know it took people some time to finally admit that,

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 6: but we all know that to be true, as evidence

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 6: by his disastrous debate performance against President Trump during the campaign.

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 6: I digress on that but the President was raising the

87
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: point that did the President even know about these pardons?

88
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 6: Was his legal signature use without his consent or knowledge?

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: And that's not just the President or me raising those questions, Caitlin.

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 6: According to The New York Post, there are Biden officials

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: from the previous White House who raised those questions and

92
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 6: wondered if the President was even consulted about his legally

93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 6: binding signature being signed onto documents. And so I think

94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 6: it's a question that everybody in this room should be

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 6: looking into because certainly that would propose perhaps criminal or

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 6: illegal behavior if staff members were signing the President of

97
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 6: the United States autograph.

98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: Without criminal or legal procedures. It's very clear now this

99
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: is going to be an issue that courts are going

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: to have to deal with, and one that Donald Trump

101
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: is happily raising the question was there illegal activity with

102
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: people signing Joe Biden's name without his knowledge or his consent?

103
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: Next story number two.

104
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: One of Donald Trump's promises from the campaign trail was

105
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: to go after terrorists all over the world, peace through strength,

106
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: to making sure that we strike first. Those they're trying

107
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: to do harm to Americans are soldiers and American interests

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: around the world. Well Over the past week, Donald Trump

109
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: has intensified his counter terrorism efforts, both domestically and internationally.

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: Here is a quick summary of just some of the

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: things that the present has done. Airstrikes have been ordered.

112
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: Starting on March fifteenth, President Trump authorized large scale air

113
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: strikes targeting I ran back Hoothy rebels in Yemen's capital.

114
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: This action was in response to the Houthis threat to

115
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: US shipping assets in the Red Sea. The offensive aims

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: to protect American interests and ensure navigational freedom in the region.

117
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, putting it this way in his own words

118
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: on True Social Today, I ordered the United States military

119
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: to launch decisive and powerful military action against the Houthy

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence,

121
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones.

122
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthi's

123
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: just kept going. It has been over a year since

124
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: a US flag commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal,

125
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last

126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: American warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago,

127
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: was attacked by the terrorist group over a dozen times.

128
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: Funded by Iran, the Hoothy thugs have fired missiles at

129
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: US aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. These relentless

130
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: assaults have cost the US and the world economy many

131
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: billions of dollars, while at the same time putting innocent

132
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: lives at risk. The Hoothy attack on American vessels will

133
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal flies until

134
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off

135
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: shipping and one of the most important waterways of the world,

136
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: grinding vast swaths of global commerce to a halt and

137
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: attacking the core principle of freedom and navigation upon which

138
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: international trade and commerce depends. Our brave warfighters are right

139
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrace basis. They're

140
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: leaders and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air and

141
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: naval assets and to restore navigational freedom. No terrorist force

142
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing

143
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: the waterways of the world. To all the Houthy terrasts,

144
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today.

145
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like

146
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: nothing you've ever seen before. President Trump went on to

147
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: say to Iran support for the houthy terrists must end immediately.

148
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: Do not threaten them American people, their president, who has

149
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: received one of the largest mandates in presidential history, or

150
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, beware because America will

151
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: hold you fully accountable and we won't be nice about it.

152
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: That is the President's clear message to the terrorists right

153
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: now in the Middle East. Now, this message comes less

154
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: than twenty four hours after Trump also announced Friday night

155
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: that the US forces had killed the fugitive leader of

156
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: ISIS in Iraq. The White House even released the footage

157
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: of the airstrike on social media, making it clear that

158
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: President Trump will go and terminate any terrorist leader anywhere

159
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: he has to to keep American safe.

160
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: And here is story number three.

161
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: Transparency with our government is a core foundation of Donald

162
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: Trump's second term in office, and that was one of

163
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: his big promises from the campaign trail. Even the biggest

164
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: secrets that we've never been able to actually know what

165
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: really happened. One of those secrets deals with the jfk assassination. Well,

166
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: President Trump has announced that his administration will release today

167
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: approximately eighty thousand pages of previously classified documents related to

168
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is a

169
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: major move towards transparency so that the American people, well,

170
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: hopefully we'll have more trust in our federal government.

171
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 7: We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.

172
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 7: So people have been waiting for decades for this, and

173
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 7: I've instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people,

174
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 7: put together by Tulsea Gabbert, and that's going to be

175
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 7: released tomorrow.

176
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Now.

177
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: The decision to classify these documents fulfilled that promise. It

178
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: is to provide greater transparency, the White House says, regarding

179
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: the events surrounding Kennedy's assassination in nineteen sixty three, during

180
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, President

181
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: Trump stated, I don't believe we are going to redact anything.

182
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: Just don't redact. You can't redact. It's going to be

183
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: very interesting, quote unquote. Now, in addition to the JFK files,

184
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: the executive order signed by President Trump in January also

185
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: mandates the release of records pertaining to the assassinations of

186
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the civil rights leader Martin

187
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: Luther King Junior. The NASAU Archives and Records Administration has

188
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: been tasked with processing and digitizing these records for public access.

189
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: Prior to the release, by the way, over ninety nine

190
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: percent of the approximately three hundred and twenty thousand documents

191
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: related to the JFK assassination had already been made public,

192
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: but few more than four thousand, seven hundred files withheld

193
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: in part or in full. In other words, anything they

194
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: didn't want you to read, you didn't see. Well, Donald

195
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: Trump now says, get ready to sit down and start

196
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 3: reading all of the information of the eighty thousand pages,

197
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: and you will be seeing that today.
