In other words, 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: here are things going. 6 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: On that the public. 7 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 8 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning.

We'll have his words 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: for you as well. 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 4: And if Democrats thought they were gonna get Donald Trump's administry. 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: Off the rails, they're wrong. 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 4: The American people are now backing Donald Trump at the 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 4: same level they were on the day he was inaugurated. 25 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: This after big news from a Middle East trip, the 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 4: trade and tariff. 27 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Negotiations going extremely. 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 4: Well, and the President making it cleary securing the border. 29 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,639 Speaker 4: Will have those details on those polls in just a moment. 30 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now. 31 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: Story number one. 32 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 4: The potential cover up continues, and many more questions are 33 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 4: being asked now about the cancer diagnosis of Joe Biden, 34 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 4: and in response to diagnosis and the ensuing discussions, President 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 4: Donald Trump expressed surprise that the public was not informed 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 4: earlier about Biden's condition, suggesting that the disease likely developed 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: over a long period. The present and his own words 38 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: at the White House. 39 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: And it takes a long time to get to that 40 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: situation now, I think to get to a stage nine. 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: I think that if you take a look, it's same 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine, there was 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with him. Well, he said, if it's the 44 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: same doctor he said, there was nothing wrong there. And 45 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: that's being proven to be a sad situation. And the 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: autopen is becoming a very big deal. You know, the 47 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: autopen is becoming a big deal, because it seems like 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: that maybe was the president who ever operated the autopen. 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: But when they say that that was not good, they also, 50 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, you have to look and you have to 51 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: say that the test was done so good either. In 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: other words, there are things going on that the public 53 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: wasn't informed. And I think somebody's going to have to 54 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: speak to his doctor. If it's the same or even 55 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: if it's two separate doctors. Why wasn't the cognitive ability? 56 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: Why wasn't that discussed? And I think the doctor said 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: he's just fine. 58 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 4: And it's a fair question that everyone that's sane is asking, 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: can't trust them on the cognitive decline of Joe Biden? 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: And they were lying about that even before he was 61 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: actually elected, So why the hell should we trust him now? 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: But don't worry. 63 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: Democrats are now saying they want you to forget it all. 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 4: Hakim Jeffrey saying this about Democrats on Capitol Hill. 65 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: My expectation that President Biden is going to meet this 66 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 5: moment with the courage and resilience that he's consistently shown. 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 6: Seems to me entirely. 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 5: Inappropriate that at this moment in time, when President Biden 69 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: is dealing with a serious an aggressive form of cancer. 70 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: There are Republicans who are peddling conspiracy theories and want 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 5: us to look backward at a time when they actually 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 5: are taking health care away from the American people. No, 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: as House Democrats were going to look forward. They literally 74 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 5: are trying to take health care away from millions of 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 5: Americans at this very moment, in the dead of night. 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 5: And Republicans want to fan the flames of conspiracy theories 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 5: at this moment. 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 4: No, thank you, Democrats want to shut it all down. 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: It's entirely inappropriate for us to be discussing any of this, 80 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: and we're looking forward. Yes, I'm sure they are because 81 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 4: they don't want to have to answer many of the 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 4: tough questions that we're talking about right now. So how 83 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: long has the president actually had this cancer? And did 84 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: they conceal it from the American people knowing as a 85 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 4: candidate that Joe Biden was in fact dealing with a 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 4: serious form of cancer. Doctor Mark Sigeu on Fox News 87 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: Channel was asked the question about this cancer, and here's 88 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: what he said. 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 7: Hiding this both terrible possibilities. 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 8: Both terrible and on the notion that this could have 91 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 8: been hidden, I'm fascinated by doctor zik Emmanuel. He's saying 92 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 8: that this prostate cancer could have been there for a decade, 93 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 8: definitely had it as president. He did not develop this 94 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 8: in the last one hundred and two hundred days. He 95 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 8: had it while he was president. Zeka Manu is the 96 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 8: architect of Obamacare. Ze Commnuel's brother is Rama Manuel z 97 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 8: Commanuel was on President Biden's COVID team. Z Commanuel has 98 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 8: no incentive to say something that's not truthful here. 99 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 7: And z Commanuel happens to be an excellent oncologist. Politics aside, 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 7: you know, a lot of his politics I don't agree with, 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 7: but he's an excellent, excellent oncologist. He's at Penn and 102 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 7: he's saying that it's been there for a while. Even 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 7: an aggressive prostate cancer has been there for a while. 104 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 7: He clearly had this while he was president for years. 105 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 7: That's what Emmanuel saying. And he also made another point 106 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 7: which I agree with, which is the vast majority of 107 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 7: the time when you diagnose this, you diagnose it early, 108 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 7: not in some advanced stage where you're looking under a 109 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 7: microscope and it says glease in nine that's the worst. 110 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 7: That means that it's likely to spread, and it has spread, 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 7: and when it goes to the bone, very painful. So 112 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 7: we wish the president, the former president well, but it's 113 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 7: very disturbing the way this news is coming out. 114 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: There are two things that can be true. 115 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 4: We can pray for Joe Biden a speedy recovery, and 116 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: we can also talk about a massive cover up that 117 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: could have happened. And there are questions that need to 118 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: be answered. And there's still one big question lingering. If 119 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: Joe Biden wasn't the President of the United States of America, 120 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: then who was calling the shots in the White House? 121 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: And that is a question that Republicans must get the 122 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: answer to. Now, story number two, there's a man by 123 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 4: the name of James Comy. He's a former FBI director 124 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 4: and there's one thing that's very clear from his tenure, 125 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 4: and that was that he had a bullseye on Donald 126 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: Trump and anyone else around him. Well, now Senator Tom 127 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 4: Cotton is asking the FBI Director Cash Battel to investigate 128 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: everything James Comy did at the FBI. The Sentence Intelligence 129 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 4: Committee chairman has formally asked the FBI Director Cashpattel to 130 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 4: investigate James Comy after the disgrace. Ex FBI leader posted 131 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: a cryptic message of eighty six forty seven on social media, 132 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: which was interpret it as a violent threat against President 133 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. James Comy, who served as the FBI director 134 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 4: after being appointed by Barack Obama until he was fired 135 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: by Trump in twenty seventeen, took to Instagram on Thursday 136 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 4: to share a photo of seashells arranged that read eighty 137 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: six forty seven and yes. The number eighty six is 138 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: a common term used in the hospitality industry, as well 139 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 4: as in the military and intelligence communities, which can mean 140 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 4: canceling an order or to kill, murder, or execute judicially, 141 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: according to how it is used in the dictionary. Comy 142 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: deleted the post after receiving accusations that he was calling 143 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: for the assassination of the president, and issued a statement 144 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: which read this way quote. I posted earlier a picture 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, 146 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize 147 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: some folks associated keyword. Some folks associated those numbers with violence. 148 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 4: It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of 149 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: any kind, so I took the post down. 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Now. 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: Patel announced that he had been made aware of Komy's 152 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 4: suspicious posts, stating that his bureau is in communication with 153 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: a Secret Service and the director there, Sean Kuran, the 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: same man that was there protecting the President when that 155 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: assassin tried to take him out, shooting his ear. Primary 156 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 4: jurisdiction is the Secret Service on these matters, and we 157 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: the FBI, will provide all necessary support, Patel also said. 158 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 4: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome, also confirming that the Department 159 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: of Homeland Security and the Secret Service are quote investigating 160 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: this threat and will respond appropriately now. The Director of 161 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: National Intelligence, Tolci Gabbert, also appeared on Fox News with 162 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: Jesse Waters to say that Komy should be put behind bars, 163 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: as she described it, for issuing a direct threat against 164 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 4: the president, and on Friday, that's when Senator Tom Cotton 165 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: sent a letter to Patel officially asking him to review 166 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: all FBI actions in which the former director Komy was 167 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 4: personally involved. Cotton's letter also went on to note that 168 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: Komy has quote politicized investigations, been at the center of leaks, 169 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: and obviously shown bias against the Trump administration and supporters. 170 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: The Intel Chair also brought up Trump's own response to 171 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: Komy's alarming Instagram posts, which he issued during a portion 172 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 4: of an interview that aired on Fox News. According to 173 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: the President, eighty six forty seven was a call for 174 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 4: an assassination, saying this, he. 175 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: Knew what that meant. A child knows what it meant. 176 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: If your FBI director and don't know what it meant, 177 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: that meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear. 178 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: He wasn't very competent, but competent enough to know what 179 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 4: that meant. He did it for a reason, and he 180 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 4: was hit so hard because people like me and like, 181 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 4: what is happening in this country? All this, he is 182 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: calling for the assassination of the President. Trump went on 183 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 4: to add this, I don't want to take a position 184 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 4: on it. It will be up to Panbondy and all 185 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: the great people. I will say, I think it's a 186 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 4: terrible thing when you add his history to that. If 187 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: you had a clean history, he doesn't. He's a dirty cop. 188 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: If he had a clean history, I could understand if 189 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 4: there were leniency, I will let them make that decision. 190 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 4: Cotton quoted the President and the letter to tell writing, 191 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 4: in the words of President Trump, he knew exactly what 192 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: it meant. The Center also commended the quick launch of 193 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 4: investigation by the Secret Service and thank the FBI for 194 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: also offering support. Now, you may not know why James 195 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: Comy may have actually posted this on social media. It 196 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: may be as simple as he actually just wanted to 197 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 4: sell a bunch of books, as one of his other 198 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: posts was about a new book coming out. 199 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: Well, James Comey was. 200 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: Forced to go on MSNBC to push out more state 201 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: sponsored propagate, and here is what he said about all 202 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: of this. 203 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 6: You were back in the middle of a political firestorm. Yeah, 204 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 6: for walking on the beach with my wife. So I 205 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 6: don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred to 206 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 6: me that it was. 207 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 4: By the way, I love how James Comy says he's 208 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: now being persecuted for walking along the beach with his wife, 209 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: and yet here we are. 210 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: And then he says, it never occurred to me was. 211 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 6: Any kind of controversial thing. But that's the time we 212 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 6: live in. 213 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 8: So take me back to the walk on the beach. 214 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 6: We were walking on the beach. We went to the 215 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 6: beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch 216 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 6: of my book, and to think about the book and 217 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 6: to prepare to ask answer questions about it. And we 218 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 6: were walking back towards the road and we saw in 219 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers and Patrese 220 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 6: my wife said, why would someone put an address in 221 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 6: the sand? And I said, I don't know. And we 222 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 6: stood over it and I said, you know, I think 223 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 6: it's some kind of like political message, and she said, 224 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 6: you know eighty six. When I was a server, she 225 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 6: did a lot of working in restaurants. Meant to remove 226 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 6: an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. 227 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 6: And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it 228 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 6: always meant to leave a place to ditch a place. 229 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 6: I said, that's really clever. So then she said, you 230 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 6: shud take a picture of that, and I did, and 231 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 6: I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing 232 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 6: more of it until I heard through her that people 233 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 6: were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination, 234 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 6: which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if 235 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 6: I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated 236 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 6: with violence of any kind. 237 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 4: At the end of the day, that's the story that 238 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: he's telling. It doesn't mean it's real. And this is 239 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 4: a guy that lies and hates Donald Trump. I don't 240 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 4: feel sorry, by the way, for James Comy. I think 241 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: he knew exactly what he was doing. And as Donald 242 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: Trump said, it'll be up to the great people beneath 243 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 4: him decide what happens next, and we'll keep you up. 244 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 7: Hit it. 245 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 4: And finally, story number three, there's one thing that is 246 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 4: for sure. Democrats are having a tough couple of weeks. 247 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: James Comy is under investigation. Now, there's a massive tell 248 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 4: all book talking about Joe Biden not actually being the 249 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: President of the United States of America, and Democrats who 250 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: are rawling behind the eighty six forty seven picture on 251 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 4: the beach. 252 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: It's not going well. But who is it going well for? 253 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 4: Where Four polls are now showing that Donald Trump has 254 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 4: a strong approval rating. That's right, coming off of last 255 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: week's trip to the Middle East, in his administration's recent 256 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 4: progress on trade agreements, it appears to have boosted the 257 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: perception among American voters, with four national polls now showing 258 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's favorability rating above forty seven percent, consistent with 259 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 4: the levels following his inauguration.

Despite the doom and gloom headlines 264 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 4: from news organizations, the American people actually feel great about 265 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 4: the direction of the country. That's what the White House 266 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: had to say, and adding this what's to hate. We 267 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: are undoing the widely unpopular agenda of the previous office holder, 268 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: uprooting waste, fraud and abuse, and chugging along on the 269 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 4: great American comeback. The Daily Mail poll was conducted by 270 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 4: the Way May thirteenth and fourteenth, with a large sample 271 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 4: size of more than one thousand registered voters.

Is what 276 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: James Johnson, the co founder of j L Partners, said, 277 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: People who were concerned about the sense of direction the 278 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 4: strength after tariff reversals are now back on board as 279 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 4: they see the president doing what they feel he does 280 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 4: best making deals. This, on top of the new news 281 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: that we may actually get an end of the war 282 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 4: with Ukraine and Russia that the President is brokering, will 283 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: only push his approval ratings higher. 284 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 285 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
