President Trump's administration opening the criminal investigation 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: into the Federal Reserve chairman in a development set to 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: heighten concerns about the quote independence of the US monetary policy. 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: That is, how the left in the media are spending 65 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: it already. Powell is set on Sunday that the Central 66 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: Bank has been served with grand jury subpoenuts related to 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: his own testimony about the renovation to the Fed's headquarters 68 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. Quote. The threat of criminal charges 69 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates 70 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, 71 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: rather than following the preferences of the President, Palell said 72 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: in a rare video message, he said, this is about 73 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: where the FED will be able to continue to set 74 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, or whether 75 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure and intimidation. 76 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: That is again the FED Chairman's own words. Now the 77 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: federal prosecutors opening the criminal investigation confirming it Sunday evening 78 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: as well, Powell said that the probe was the result 79 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: of just what he said, basically a political attack on him. 80 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: Said that on Friday, the Department of Justice served the 81 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve with the grand jury subpoenas threatening the criminal 82 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: indictment related to my testimony. In fact, here is Jerome 83 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: Powell in his own words and a shocking video he released. 84 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve 85 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 4: with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal indictment related to 86 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That 87 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: testimony concerned, in part, a multi year project to renovate 88 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for 89 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 4: the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. 90 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 4: No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, 91 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be 92 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 4: seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and 93 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony 94 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 4: last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. 95 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: It is not about Congress's oversight. Rule. Testimony and other 96 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about 97 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 4: the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal 98 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 4: charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest 99 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 4: rates based on our best assessment of what will serve 100 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 4: the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. 101 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 4: This is about whether the Fed will be able to 102 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 4: continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, 103 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political 104 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve 105 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 4: under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, 106 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, 107 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. 108 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. 109 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 4: I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed 110 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 4: me to do with integrity and a commitment to serving 111 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 4: the American people. Thank you. 112 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: It is a shocking move for the Federal Reserve to 113 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: put out a video like this. A person familiar with 114 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: the investigation also telling CNBC that they would not dispute 115 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: the idea that the probe of Pal is related to 116 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: the building renovation and his testimony to Congress, saying, quote, 117 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: I have deep respect for the rule of law and 118 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: for accountability in our democracy. But as you heard again, 119 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: Pal say, no one, certainly not the Chair of the 120 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve is above the law. But this unprecedent action 121 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: should be seen in the broader context of the administration's 122 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: threat and ongoing pressure. No one, certainly not. The Chair 123 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: of the Federal Reserve is above the law, saying it 124 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: not once, but you heard there twice, and he says 125 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: that this is a new threat now. The New York 126 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: Times was the first to report the probe, citing officials 127 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: briefed on the matter. The investigation is also being over 128 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: scene by the US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. 129 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: According to the newspaper, the office is led by the 130 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: US Attorney you know, hers, Judge Janee, a former New 131 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: York state prosecutor former Fox News host who was appointed 132 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: to that job by President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly 133 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: blasted Powell for the FED not cutting interest rates as 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: much and as quickly as the President is demanded since 135 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: ining the White House in January of twenty twenty five. 136 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: The White House, by the way, not commenting at this moment, 137 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: referring questions about the probe to the Department of Justice. 138 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: But if you look at the investigation, it does actually 139 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: just seem to be about one thing. Did Powell lie 140 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: to Congress about the renovations which became a flashpoint of 141 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve building and those ongoing well renovations that 142 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: the President has criticized. A DOJ spokesperson in a statement 143 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: to c NBC without saying the comment was about Pals 144 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: that quote, the Attorney General has instructed her US attorneys 145 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: to prioritize investigating any abuse of taxpayer dollars. So maybe 146 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: to the media, take a step back. Maybe the media 147 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: you should look at the facts, and maybe the media 148 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: you should stop jumping to conclusions and realize this maybe 149 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: is not about interest rates. But maybe his own testimony 150 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: and what he said to Congress will keep covering it. 151 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 2: My bet is the President's probably going to be right 152 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: on this one yet again. Now story number two, President 153 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has come out and pledged to uncover the 154 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: leftist groups that are countering ICE all over the country. 155 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: President Trump said that he believes the woman that was 156 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: fatally shot by a US Immigration and Customs enforcement officer 157 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: in Minneapolis last week may have been a professional agitator, 158 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 2: in indicator that the government will uncover the funding sources 159 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: behind such anti law enforcement agitation nationwide. Here's the President 160 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 2: in his own words. 161 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement. 162 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: You saw that they were harassing that were following for 163 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: days and for hours, and I think, frankly, they're professional agitators, 164 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: and I'd like to find out and we are going 165 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: to find out who's paying for it with their brand 166 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: new designs and all the different things. But these are 167 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: professional agitators, and law enforcement should not be in a 168 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: position where they have to put up with this stuff. 169 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: What that woman and what her friend and what their 170 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: other friends were doing to law enforcement, not just ICE, 171 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: law enforcement is outrageous. 172 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: The President added that he would like to find out, 173 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: and we're going to find out who's paying for it. 174 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: With their brand new signs and all the different things. 175 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: These are professional agitators and law enforcements should not be 176 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: in a position where they have to put up with 177 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: this stuff.

The US Department of 180 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Homeland Security retweeting a post in which rep Republican Representative 181 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: Lance Couden of Texas asserted that the anti ICE protesters 182 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: are actually all just being paid for saying, quote the 183 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: anti ICE mobs or anything but organic dark money is 184 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: bankrolling these far left groups like ice Watch and Lighting 185 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: the Fuse. Americans deserve to know who's cutting the checks, 186 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: the lawmaker said in his post. A person weaponizing their 187 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: vehicle against law enforcement is unacceptable, and we're witnessing it. 188 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: Happen all over the country. Fox News having even more 189 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: on this, and here's what they said. 190 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: Right now, DHS is deploying hundreds of more federal agents 191 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: to Minnesota as violent anti ice protests continues to rise 192 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: in the state. 193 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 5: Matt Finn joins us Live in Minneapolis with the details. 194 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 6: Hey, Matt hi Ainsley, DHS sources tell us up to 195 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 6: one thousand additional federal officers could surge at Minneapolis here. 196 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 6: That's on top of the already two thousand agents on 197 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 6: the ground.

This individual, 201 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 5: as you saw in the video that we released just 202 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: forty eight hours after this incident, showed that this officer 203 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 5: was hit by her vehicle, she weaponized it, and he 204 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 5: defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. 205 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 6: But the Democratic Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frye, disagrees and 206 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 6: is slamming Secretary Noum. 207 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 7: It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word that 208 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 7: she is saying right now.

Two shootings in a large city 212 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 7: so far this entire year, and one of them is Ice. 213 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 7: This is a safe city, Ice and Christy Noman, everything 214 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 7: they're doing is making it far less safe. 215 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 6: And there's new video leading up to the moments of 216 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 6: Renee goods shooting death by an ICE agent on Wednesday. 217 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 6: The video appears to show goods suv partially blocking the street, 218 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 6: honking her horn and apparently dancing in the driver's seat. 219 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 6: Border Patrol tells us it's dangerous for agents to be 220 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 6: blocked in by a car because there are so many 221 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 6: anti ICE agitators who quickly surround them. A new video 222 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 6: from last night apparently shows federal agents using crowd control 223 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 6: tactics firing tear gas and pepper balls at protesters outside 224 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 6: the federal building where ICE detainees are being held. An 225 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 6: independent photographer who was there says protesters try to stop 226 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 6: traffic in and out of the federal facility and they 227 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 6: were met with forces. Now this is happening in a 228 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 6: city where the mayor has told ICE to get the 229 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 6: f out, and highly organized anti ICE activists are patrolling 230 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 6: the neighborhoods. We ask Border Patrol during a ride along 231 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 6: if any of this is going to. 232 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 8: Deter them, Absolutely not. We're out here to do a 233 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 8: job and we're not going to stop until it's done. 234 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 8: If a mayor wants to say something that he's not 235 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 8: not for us, if anybody wants to say that they're 236 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 8: not for us, that is not going to stop what 237 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 8: we're doing in Minneapolis or anywhere across the country. 238 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 6: And that was during a ride along with Border Patrol. 239 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 6: Have to say, driving around the city, as soon as 240 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 6: they get out of their cars, they're met with people 241 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 6: who have those ear piercing whistles, of people, you know, 242 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 6: resisting trying to surround the cars. There is really a 243 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 6: highly organized anti ICE, anti border patrol network here on 244 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 6: the ground in the Twin Cities. 245 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: It's clear the President United States of America wants to 246 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: find out exactly who is weaponizing the these individuals to 247 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: go after ICE agents. And you can see it there 248 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: as ICE put out saying these individuals are impeding law 249 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: enforcement and they're weaponizing their vehicles against ICE. The officer 250 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: in this shooting was dutifully acted in self defense. That 251 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: is what the DHD Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia 252 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: McLaughlin said on X When Thing's for sure, the President 253 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: now has made it clear, we're going to find out 254 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: exactly who's paying these individuals and what group is behind them. 255 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 256 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
