1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: But just think about the Department of State of the

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: United States that set up the office to monitor the

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: social media post and commentary of American citizens to identify

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: them as vector the disinformation when we know that the

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency,

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: and so that's what we're going to be in the

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: business of doing.

8
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: We're not going to have an office that does that.

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 3: You're listening to The forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

Speaker 4: So you do not miss an episode.

17
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 5: With that being said, the first big story, well, you

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 5: can add human trafficking to the list of the quote

19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 5: Maryland Man. You may remember Democrats are obsessed with an

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 5: illegal immigrant who is an MS thirteen gang member. He's

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 5: also now suspected of human trafficking. And we have the

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 5: traffic stop tape and we're going to play it for

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 5: you in just a moment. Also, oh, Elon Musk and

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 5: his DOGE team have been hard at work day after

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 5: day after day, and now the staff is revealing that

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 5: the Institute of Peace was not peaceful at all, in fact,

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: giving six figure contracts to former members of the Taliban.

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: That story as well, and finally the media lied yet again.

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 5: And Donald Trump called him out after they claim that

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: Mike Walt had been fired from the Trump administration. In reality,

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 5: Trump gave him a major administration post at the United Nations.

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 5: We'll give you the background on that story and how

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 5: the media got it wrong, maybe on purpose. It's the

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 6: Story number one.

00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: The media and the Democrats have called him the quote

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 5: Maryland Man or the Maryland Father, the MS thirteen gang

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: member who had protective orders put out against him by

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 5: his wife, and is a man that is apparently a

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: member of a terrorist organized Well, you can now add

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 5: suspected human trafficking to the wrap sheet of the.

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: Quote Maryland Man.

43
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 5: Tennessee has now released the bodycan footage of a traffic

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 5: stop that shows state troopers and their hands tied. Despite

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 5: these smuggling clues that he was smuggling people across the

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 5: United States of America. The Highway Patrol releasing that bodycam

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 5: footage of twenty twenty two in their encounter with Albrego Garcia,

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 5: where state troopers suspected that he was involved in human trafficking.

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: Garcia was twenty nine. He is a Salvadorian who illegally

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 5: entered the United States in twenty eleven and in twenty

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: nineteen was issued a deportation order. Now we have lots

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: of paperwork on the quote Maryland Father to previous judges

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 5: concluded that Albrego Garcia was likely affiliated with MS thirteen.

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: He was deported in March and sent to the Terrace

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 5: Confinement Center in Al Salvador. The Tennessee Highway Patrol pulled

56
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: over Albrego Garcia on November thirtieth, twenty twenty two. The

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 5: bodycam video that's now been obtained by Fox News through

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: a public records request shows Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers pulling

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: him over and he had eight other individuals in the

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: car for what was initially a speeding violation. All the

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: people in the car are mail how many rows have

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 5: you got in there? Four seats? Four rows of seats.

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 5: A state trooper can be heard saying, did y'all put

64
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: an extra one in, referring to a row of seats? Huh,

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: did y'all put another one in? No question mark? They

66
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: come like this. I've never seen one with that many

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 5: seats in it. The police officers then heard saying he's

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: hauling these people for money. Another state trooper said, in fact,

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: I want you to hear the actual bodycam footage and

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: exactly what they had to say. Listen carefully what you

71
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: got right?

72
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 6: You know what you got here?

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Right.

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 7: He's hauling these people for money, is what he's doing.

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 6: But sometimes they kim mingled opener. But you know.

76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 7: There's some eight people in the id' that's what an

77
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 7: extra own sense idea.

78
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: So he's getting paid all these people, probably to Maryland.

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: I would say, if I had my guests, to make

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: matters worse.

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 5: A source familiar with the situation is also told Fox

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 5: News Digital that there was, in fact a conversation in

83
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: the redacted portion of the video where state troopers in

84
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 5: Tennessee discussed calling US Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE.

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 5: The troopers called ICE, which didn't come to pick up

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: Albrigo Garcia. The source added that when state troopers entered

87
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: Albrigo Garcia's name into the National Crime Information Center, a

88
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: warning appeer that showed he was suspected of.

89
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: Being a gang member or a terrorist.

90
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 5: In the video, you can hear the troopers saying Albrigo

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: Garcia was in possession of one four hundred dollars in cash,

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: saying it was probably his payment. A trooper also noted

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 5: that Obrego Garcia had an invalid Maryland driver's license, and

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 5: the state trooper who pulled over Garcia said they suspected

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: he was involved in human trafficking. That according to part

96
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 5: of what you just heard on the body camera video.

97
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: During the traffic stop, Abrega Garcia was heard changing his

98
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 5: story several times as well. Garcia first said he was

99
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: headed back to his residence in Maryland, then said he

100
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: was going to a different town for work. He said

101
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 5: the group of individuals were initially driving from Saint Louis, Missouri.

102
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: Court records filed in Prince George County's Maryland also revealed

103
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 5: that Albrigo Garcia has a history of being a violent

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: wife beater quote unquote. In twenty twenty one court filing,

105
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: Jennifer Albrego, Garcia's wife wrote at this point, quote vote,

106
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 5: I'm afraid to be close to him. I have multiple

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 5: photos slash videos of how violent he can be and

108
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: all the bruises he has left on me. The US

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: district judge previously ordered the US government to quote facilitate

110
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: Albrigo Garcia's return to the United States of America, as

111
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party continues to double down, saying that this

112
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 5: is a Maryland man or a Maryland father. We also

113
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 5: now know this the Malusian tweeting out this. The current

114
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 5: checklist for the quote Maryland man the Salvadorian illegal alien

115
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 5: is now including alleged MS thirteen gang member reaffirmed in

116
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 5: immigration court by a judge, accused of being a repeat

117
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: wife beater, domestic abuser by his own wife multiple times,

118
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 5: suspected of human trafficking in Tennessee while driving convicted human

Speaker 5: traffickers vehicle with eight people and no luggage in it

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: from Texas to Maryland. Kimar Albrigo Garcia's wife written out

121
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 5: allegation separate by the way from the twenty twenty one

122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: protective order that she requested, also goes into the details

123
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: about how afraid she was of her husband. Stephen Miller

124
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: also saying this about the entire situation, the difference between

125
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 5: the Biden administration and what Donald Trump is doing right now.

126
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 8: You talk about due process. The Body of Administration made

127
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 8: the decision to give extensive due process to two trained

128
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 8: Aragua terrorists that were apprehended at the border just a

129
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 8: couple of years ago. The two gentlemen, they were from Venezuela.

130
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 8: There were members of Trained Aragua. The Body of Administration

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 8: and Border Patrol apprehended them and made the decision to

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 8: provide them with extensive due process, put them onto a

133
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 8: program on a supervised release, and put them on inkle

134
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 8: monitors so they could go through a lengthy legal judicial

135
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 8: determination as to whether these legal aliens who had just

136
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 8: put on US soil might want to live in the

137
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 8: United States for the rest of their lives. What was

138
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 8: the result of that decision. What was a result of

139
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 8: that choice that was made. Those two men kidnapped a

140
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 8: young girl named Jocelyn Hungary from her family. They beat her,

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 8: they sexually assaulted her, they tortured her, they stripped her,

142
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 8: they murder her, and they dumped her body.

143
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: Yet again, the Trump administration putting Americans first, and a

144
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 5: story that continues to get worse for Democrats as they

145
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: continue to stand with an MS thirteen gang member, a

146
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: man that is accused of beating his wife on multiple occasions,

147
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: human trafficking, and yet the Democrats still want to visit

148
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: him out of the country and demand that he's brought

149
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 5: back to live among us.

150
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: Next story number two.

151
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: There is one story that maybe hasn't been getting that

152
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: many headlines lately, and that is the fact that DOGE

153
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: is still finding waste.

154
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Fraud, and abuse.

155
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: It's certainly a story that the media doesn't want you

156
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 5: to know about, and that's exactly why Elon Muss brought

157
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 5: many of his staffers together to tell what they are

158
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 5: now finding. They did this with Jesse Waters on Fox

159
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 5: News Channel Now. The Doffers revealed something shocking that the

160
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: Institute of Peace is not actually that peaceful. In fact,

161
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 5: some of their money was going to members of the Taliban.

162
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: Take a listen to this.

163
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was by far the least peaceful agency

164
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: that we've worked with.

165
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, ironically, of course.

166
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things

167
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: like private jets, and they even had a one hundred

168
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of

169
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: the Taliban.

170
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 6: This is real.

171
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: We don't encounter that in most agencies.

172
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 6: What was the money going to the Taliban for? So

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,119
Speaker 6: it was a contractor.

174
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: They received one hundred and thirty thousand dollars for generic services.

175
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear

176
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: description of what the contractor services were for. But was

177
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: it for opium unclear? Or weapons or nothing or nothing

178
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: for a broad or yeah, And you actually have to

179
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: ask the question how did we get here? Like when

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: the country was founded, there were only four agencies. Today

181
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: there are over four hundred, so there's been a one

182
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: hundred x increase in the number of agencies since the

183
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: founding the nation. And thanks to President Trump, he's now

184
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: signed two executive orders to start to reduce the number

185
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: of agencies in the government, and the Institute apiece was

186
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: one of them, which is why our team went into

187
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: try and understand what was going on, and that's when

188
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: we found all the craziness, like the weapons and their armory.

189
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: We found the payments to the Taliban.

190
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, idea of it right.

191
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: So just a few hours after we got into their headquarters,

192
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: we found that their chief accountant had actually deleted over

193
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: a terabyte of accounting records from several leaders, so you'd

194
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: have to ask the question, well, why would somebody do that?

195
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: If the Doch team fortunately was able to recover that

196
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: data with the help of a few great employees at

197
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: the Institute a piece. And I think the most troubling

198
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: thing was they received fifty five million dollars a year

199
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: from Congress, and any money that went unspent, instead of

200
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a

201
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 2: private bank account which had no Congressional oversight, and that's

202
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: what they would use to fund things like events at

203
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think

204
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: it's a great example because most Americans don't know what's

205
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: going on at a lot of these smaller agencies, and

206
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: this is a I think the most extreme case of

207
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: some of the wasteful spend that we're finding.

208
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 7: So the agencies are hiding money from you, they're sending

209
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 7: it to the Taliban.

210
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 6: They have loaded weapons in the department.

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: Buildings at the Institute of Peace.

212
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 7: At the Institute of Peace, that's right, So this is

213
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 7: a cover up.

214
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: When you guys roll in.

215
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 8: If this wanted a cover up, the delete a vast

216
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 8: amount of financial information that's really a definition of a

217
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 8: cover up.

218
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: Isn't that illegal to delete evidence? Yes, shred documents.

219
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: It's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that the Congress

220
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: would certainly want to know where the congressionally appropriated funds

221
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: are going from taxpayers.

222
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 7: When you catch them going Hillary style on their computers,

223
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 7: do you refer this to the Department of Justice?

224
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: In this case, we did refer the evidence in the

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: accounting example to the FBI and DJ We're proud to

226
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: do that.

227
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 6: So yes we did.

228
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 5: Not only did they say it was a cover up,

229
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: but it may have actually been criminal, and that is

230
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: exactly why they have references to the Department of Justice.

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 5: So if you think that Doge isn't still digging, don't worry.

232
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: They are.

233
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: In fact, the Dog's team also says there was a

234
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: four billion dollar COVID fund in the Department of Education

235
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 5: that had no receipts required, so government and poyees could

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 5: draw down on it and use the money for parties

237
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 5: and to rent out venues like Caesar's Palace. Another example

238
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 5: of why so many are fighting against Donald Trump in

239
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 5: the deep state and doing everything they can to get

240
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 5: rid of their receipts, and thank goodness Elon Muskin Doge

241
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: keeps finding them.

242
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: And finally, story number three.

243
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: The liberal Washington Press Corps was going berserk earlier in

244
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 5: the afternoon amid rumors that Mike Waltz was being fired.

245
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 5: Well guess what, he wasn't fired. In fact, Donald Trump

246
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 5: putting this out on true social quote, I'm pleased to

247
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be

248
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations, high

249
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: profile job, by the way, that many were hoping that

250
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: they would get this job. President went on to say,

251
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: from his time in uniform, on the battlefield, in Congress,

252
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 5: and as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked

253
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 5: hard to put our nation's interests first. I know he

254
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: will do the same in his new role. In the

255
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 5: interim Secretary of State, Marco Rubio will serve as National

256
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: Security Advisor while continuing his strong leadership of the State Department. Together,

257
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: we will continue to fight tiresly to make America and

258
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: the world safe again. Thank you for your attention to

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 5: this matter. Now, why the President put it out there

260
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 5: this way simply because he knew the media was lying

261
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: looking for a scandal and trying to make it a

262
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 5: big deal that Mike Waltz was fired from the administration.

263
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 5: In reality, Donald Trump gave him another top administration job.

264
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 5: How me and the media are going to apologize for

265
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 5: all of the lies they put out in the last

266
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 5: twenty four hours, I'm going to guess none of them.

267
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 5: The best part is we've got the receipts of all

268
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 5: the lies on social media and the articles they wrote,

269
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: and that's exactly why Donald Trump called them out.

270
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
