1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Well, I want a dynamic country where private enterprise carries

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: the day, not the government. No matter what I do,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: this group of people in front of us, I could

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: come up with the cure to the worst disease that

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: the world has ever seen. Like they'ing to sit there, angry,

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: insolent with cellar faces.

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Good Monday morning, Ben Ferguson with you.

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 4: It's nice to have you on the forty seven Morning Update,

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 4: and we've got three big stories for you. First up,

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 4: Columbia University finding out that when you mess with Donald Trump,

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 4: there are real problems, and now their federal funding is gone.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: Plus a student has been arrested that was a pro

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: Palestinian activist and he may even be deported. Up next,

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 4: Donald Trump comes out with a new jobs report showing

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: a massive gain for American workers and fewer jobs for

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 4: foreign born workers.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: What does this mean for you? I'll explain it in

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: a moment.

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 4: And finally Donald Trump says, let's make a deal, making

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: a new play for Greenland to come into the US.

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: Story number one I want to take you back to

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: May sixth of twenty twenty four. Donald Trump was speaking

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: outside of the criminal trial in New York City. Remember

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: when he was forced to do those daily little quick

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: briefings before he was forced into the courtroom, when law

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: Fair was all over, Donald.

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 3: Trump trying to take him out of the presential race.

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 4: He was still laser focused then about the radicalization on

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 4: our college campuses, including at Columbia University.

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: And this is what he had to say in the

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: summer of twenty twenty four.

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: Now it just came out Columbia just canceled their commenser.

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: Actually US Columbia just canceled their commenser.

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: That shouldn't happen.

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: And it also came out that the protesters, many of

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: the protesters are back by Biden showners. Okay, are you

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: listening Israel? Hek you listening Israel hoping getting spot But

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: they're backed by bike donors. That's where the money's coming from.

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: That's where the money's coming from. The President made it

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: clear that if he was elected again, he was going

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 4: to hold these universities accountable for not stopping the anti

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: Semitic protests and violent protests and threats against students. Well,

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 4: the president is now paying off on that promise. Donald

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: Trump cuts more than four hundred million dollars in grants

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: to Columbia over anti semitism concerns, and potentially there are

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 4: more cuts to come.

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 3: That's right.

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: The Trump administration announcing that it will resind more than

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: four hundred million in federal grants to Columbia University, setting

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: concerns over the rising anti semitism on campus and the

53
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: school's failure to address it. Earlier this week, the Department

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: of Health and Human Services and the US General Services Administration,

55
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: as well as the Education Department, announced the initiation of

56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 4: a quote comprehensive review of more than five billion in

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: federal grant money that goes to Colombia. Why on earth

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: are we spending five billion dollars to Colombia is the

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: question you should be asking right now. By the way,

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: and in light of ongoing investigations for potential violations, they

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: said of the Civil Rights Act related to anti semitism

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: on campus, all of the funding will be under review.

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Quote.

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: It has only been four days since the Trump administration

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 4: announced the review, but the agencies have already begun slashing

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 4: the funds. Sources familiar with the matter, who asked to

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: remain anonymous, said that more than four er million in

68
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: federal grants from AHHS and the DOED will be rescinded

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: from Colombia as a result of the anti semitism that

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: is continuing, they believe on campus. Now, as the review

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: of Columbia's grant dollars continues, additional federal funding could be

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: rescinded as well. But that's not all that Donald Trump

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: is doing to make good on his promise. We now

74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: know that Ice has arrested a radical pro Palacinian activit

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: at Columbia University and he may now face deportation. In fact,

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: Secretary of State Marco Rubio just issued a new statement

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: after the Trump administration arrested the activists, and he said

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: this quote, we will be revoking the visas and or

79
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: be deported. This goes back to the saying that seems

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: to becoming a trend with this administration FAFO. And not

82
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: only did President Trump cut the four hundred million in funding,

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: but as he said and warned on the campaign trail,

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: if you are a guest in this country and we've

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: allowed you to come study in America, and you are

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: a active violent protester, we will get you out of

87
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: this country. Now, there's also word that this may not

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: be the only student who is arrested as a pro

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: Palacinian activist. In fact, they say they're not just setting

90
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: an example, but they are actually going after individuals that

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: are doing violence on college campuses. So at the end

92
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: of the day, Donald trump promises became a reality that

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: if you are one of those that is doing harm

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: and you're not from the US on an American campus,

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: get the hell out. And as for Columbia University, good

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: luck finding four hundred million dollars somewhere else as you're

97
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: not protecting Jewish students on campus. Next story number two,

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: putting Americans First. What a novel idea, yet it's something

99
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: that shocked so many Americans as Donald Trump was running

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: for president. Well, he's paying off on that promise with

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 4: a new jobs report showing two hundred and eighty four

102
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 4: thousand more Americans are working and eighty seven thousand fewer

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: foreign born workers are working. That is a big change

104
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: from the Biden administration to the Trump policy, which is

105
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: to put Americans first. The President announcing this from the

106
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: Oval Office, and here is what he had to say.

107
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Native born Americans. For the first time in fifteen months,

108
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: the job gains for native born Americans, for American people,

109
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: people born in America, exceeded job gains for migrant and

110
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: foreign born workers. This is the first time that's happened

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: in more than fifteen months. Employment for native born workers

112
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: went up by two hundred and eighty four thousand, while

113
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: foreign born workers went down by eighty seven thousand. Now,

114
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: you know, you've heard the same stat where foreign workers

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: were taking up all the jobs or almost all the jobs,

116
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: in some cases literally all of the jobs. And now

117
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: it's two hundred and eighty four thousand native born jobs here,

118
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: people born in our country two hundred and eighty four thousand. Well,

119
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: foreign born workers went down by eighty seven thousand. First

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: time that's happened in a long time. So these are

121
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: incredible numbers, and they're they're very early. I mean, you know,

122
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: we're here for five weeks, but we have been talking

123
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: about it since the big win in November fifth. So

124
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of these people they listened to or speak

125
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: and they say, well, I'm going to gear up and

126
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: they're gearing up, and so they've been gearing up. They've

127
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: had a little time. It's not just it's not just

128
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: five weeks. It's five weeks plus a few months now.

129
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: The part of the story that the mainstream media does

130
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: not want you to understand is this is a direct

131
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: change in an administrative position from the White House that

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: caused this massive amount of Americans to get employment while

133
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: foreign workers employment went down.

134
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: How do we know this well.

135
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: President Joe Biden's economic policies literally invited migrants to take

136
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: almost five million jobs that would otherwise have gone to

137
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: five million Americans. That's what they referred to as the

138
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: replacement strategy. Cut American wages and workplace investment, and that

139
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: did a lot of damage to Americans. And the reason

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: why they did it is because they wanted to bring

141
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: in people from overseas to undermine Americans. Why because they

142
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: wanted to bring into legal immigrants as well, and that

143
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: was part of their strategy to replace you with foreign workers.

144
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: But there was also another part of this plan from

145
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: the Biden administration. It was also to boost employment numbers.

146
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: It left you out of those numbers as Americans were

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: being sidelined. Five million of you were being sidelined and

148
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: put at the back of the employment line. Yet the

149
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: President was claiming that things were great in this country.

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: Well, now, Donald Trump's.

151
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: Good data that was released by the Bureau of Labor

152
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: Statistics is showing that Americans are being put back at

153
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: the front of the line, and they expect these numbers

154
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: to get even better. So the good news is, if

155
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: you're an American, you now have a president that's fighting

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: for you to get a great paying American job.

157
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: And here is story number three.

158
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: It was an idea that Donald Trump said and many laughed,

159
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: the idea that Greenland would become a part of America. Well,

160
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: Donald Trump seems to be really focused on this becoming

161
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 4: a reality. In fact, that the State of the Union

162
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: less than a week ago, the President said this, and I.

163
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland.

164
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: We strongly support your right to determine your own future,

165
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: and if you choose, we welcome you into the United

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: States of America. We need Greenland for national security and

167
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: even international security, and we're working with everybody involved to

168
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: try and get it. But we need it really for

169
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: international world security, and I think we're going to get

170
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: it one way or the other.

171
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: We're going to get it.

172
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: We will keep you safe, we will make you rich,

173
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: and together we will take Greenland to heights like you

174
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: have never thought possible before. It's a very small population,

175
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: but very very large piece of land and very very

176
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: important for military security.

177
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: Well, now we know that President Trump had a lot

178
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: more you want to say than just those words that

179
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: say of the Union. Now President Trump is vowing to

180
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: quote invest billions into Greenland and to create new jobs

181
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: if greenland Ers decide to join the United States, adding

182
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: that they would be very welcome.

183
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: Quote.

184
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: As I made clear during my joint address to Congress,

185
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland's right

186
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: to determine their own future. We will continue to keep

187
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 4: you safe. He went on to say, as we have

188
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: since World War Two. We are ready to invest billions

189
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: of dollars to create new jobs and make you rich,

190
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: and if you so choose, we welcome you to be

191
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 4: a part of the greatest nation anywhere in the world,

192
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 4: the United States of America. Now the left is freaking out,

193
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 4: and they're also helping with the media coverage. As Greenland's

194
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: Prime minister responded to Trump's statement from earlier this year

195
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: saying that Greenland is quote not for sale and would

196
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: never be for sale. That is what they said to

197
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: The Guardian at the time, saying Greenland is ours, we

198
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: are not for sale and will never be for sale.

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: We must not lose our long struggle for quote freedom.

200
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: The President made it very clear he's not trying to

201
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: quote by the country. He is, however, saying to the

202
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: people that if you want to become a part of

203
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: America and make sure that you're safe, we'd love to

204
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: have you. Now, why is the Prime Minister of Greenland

205
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: against this because it means that he would lose a

206
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: lot of power.

207
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: And the media.

208
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: Also wants to make sure that Donald Trump fails so

209
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: they can laugh in his face, just as the Democrats

210
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: are laughing when the President brought up Greenland during the

211
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: State of the Union. But it's very obvious now that

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: the President has a long term plan to get this done.

213
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: And let's be honest, Donald Trump is the master of

214
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: well the art of the deal.
