1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: That this is not the end of DOGE, but really 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: the beginning. My time as a special comment point necessarily 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: had to end. 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 2: It was a limited time things one hundred and thirty 5 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 2: four days, I believe, which ends in a few days. 6 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: So that's you know, it comes with the title. But 7 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: the Dog Team will only grow small growth of time. 8 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 9 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning to you. 10 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the 11 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 3: stories that you may have missed that we talked about 12 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. 13 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: First up, the Deputy. 14 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: FBI Director Dan Bongino coming out and saying, there's some 15 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 3: big stories that we're still looking into. You remember the 16 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 3: cocaine at the White House, or the leaking of the 17 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision when it came to 18 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 3: Roe v. Wade and the Washington pipe bomb incident just 19 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: the day before January the seventh. Well, all of these 20 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: are now being investigated again. 21 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: By the FBI. I'll have those details. 22 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: Also, President Trump yet again proving he wasn't joking when 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 3: he said he was going to be looking at where 24 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: your tax dollars are going this time. He says it's 25 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: time to cut off the funding to Harvard, and Harvard 26 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: is now fighting back. We'll have that and how much 27 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: money it could save you in just a second. And finally, 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: RFK Juniors Helped in Human Services has canceled Maderna's seven 29 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty six million dollar vaccine contract line.

And there are 36 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: stories that Democrats, certainly those in power, were really hoping 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: they'd never have to worry about again. That's part of 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: the reason why they were propping up Joe Biden, even 39 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: though they knew he wasn't even the president of the 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: United States of America. 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: He had a massive cognitive decline. 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: But hey, when you're doing what they're doing, why not 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: keep the charades going. Well, The FBI Deputy Director Dan 44 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: Bongino has come out and said that quote the Bureau 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 3: is now looking at several of those cases involving quote 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: potential public corruption cases. The FBI could look at. Are 47 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: the Washington pipe bomb incident, a white House cocaine discovery. 48 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: You may remember that story and also the minor leaking 49 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision that overturned 50 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 3: rov Wade. Yes the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino saying 51 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: that the bureau is looking at launching investigations into these 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 3: cases a potential public corruption Bongino said, quote shortly after 53 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: swearing in the FBI director Cash Mattel, and I evaluated 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: a number of cases of potential public corruption that understandably 55 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: have garnered public interests. Bongino a former Secret Service agent 56 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: and you may know him from his podcast. Note that 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: they made the decision to either reopen or push it 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: additional resources and investigative attention to these cases. 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: One case they're looking. 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: To target is the FBI investigation to the alleged pipe 61 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: bomb left near the Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings 62 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. The day before the January sixth 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: capital breach, he said. The FBI said in twenty twenty 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: four that a five hundred thousand dollars reward is still 65 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: an effect for information leading to the arrest of the 66 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: pipe bomb suspect. Earlier in twenty twenty five, the former 67 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 3: assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office 68 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: told CNN that officials are seeking quote new leads, saying 69 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: maybe alliances have changed or relationships have changed, and it's 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: time to report. 71 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: On the suspect. 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: Is what he said to the outlet at the time, 73 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: saying tips from the public really have been very helpful, 74 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: but as I mentioned, we're still trying to identify the suspect, 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: so we're trying to release a little more information such 76 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: that maybe it will jog somebody's memory. Other cases that 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: weren't more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: in the White House in July of twenty twenty three, 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: as well as the massive leak of the Supreme Court 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: decision that overturned Roe v. 81 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Wade in June of twenty twenty two. 82 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: Saying it this way, quote, I receive requests briefings on 83 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: these cases weekly, and we are making progress. If you 84 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us, 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: then please contact the FBI. Also in his ex posts, 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: Bongino said he and Patel have conducted one media interview 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: together which was with Fox News as you know, a 88 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: few days ago, saying quote, we decided early on to 89 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: limit our media footprint overall in. 90 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: Order to keep the attention on the work being done. 91 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 3: We have chosen to communicate in writing on this platform 92 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: to fill some of the inevitable information vacuum, saying quote, 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: I try to read as much of your feedback as possible, 94 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: but the workday is busy and my off This is 95 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 3: a sensitive compartment and information facility with limited phone access 96 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: and response to feedback both positive and negative from our 97 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: interview last week, We will be releasing more information which 98 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 3: will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked 99 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: in the interview. One thing is for sure, they are 100 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: definitely going for more transparency. But for the liberals out 101 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: there that may have been committing crimes, guess what you 102 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: may have thought you got away with it, and apparently 103 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: with this administration, you may be very wrong. 104 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Now, story number two, it's a pretty simple idea. 105 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: If you hate the United States of America, why should 106 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: we let you come to America's universities, especially if you're 107 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 3: advocating for violence against Jewish students or even American students. Well, 108 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 3: the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts 110 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 3: worth approximately one hundred. 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Million dollars now. 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 3: This this move follows earlier measures, including the freezing of 113 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: over two point six billion in federal research grants citing 114 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: concerns over the university's policies and campus climate. Now, the 115 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: aspects of the policy change are actually very simple. The 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: reallocation of resources is number one. The administration's decision aims 117 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: to redirect substantial federal funds to institutions that align more 118 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: closely with its policy objectives, potentially benefiting trade schools and 119 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: other educational entities. They also say there's an emphasis on accountability. 120 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: By scrutinizing Harvard's use of federal funds, the administration underscores 121 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 3: the importance of accountability and also adherence to national standards 122 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 3: and higher education institutions. And then the promotion of diverse 123 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: educational opportunities. The potential redistribution of funds, the White alsay 124 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: may enhance vocational and technological training program offering countless students 125 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: alternative pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route 126 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: and or going to an Ivy League school. There's also 127 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: the encouragement of institutional self reliance. The funding cuts may 128 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: prompt elite universities, they say, to seek greater financial independence, 129 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: foster innovation, efficiency, and management resources. Now these actions are 130 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: sparking legal challenges as the universities are angry over what's happening. 131 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, the White House 132 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: also says this comes down to another issue, and that is, 133 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: are we actually encouraging students from around the world to 134 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: come to the US that love America and that want 135 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: to be a part of the process, or are tax 136 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: dollars going to students that actually hate America? And that 137 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: brings up the State Department pausing visa interviews as Trump 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's more of 139 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: that story is CNN freaked out over it news. 140 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: And a major escalation in the Trump Administration's fight against 141 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 4: America's universities. The State Department pausing all new student visa 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: application interviews, and while that pause is in place, the 143 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: government is developing new guidance for social media screenings of 144 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: foreign students who want to study in the US. This 145 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: comes to the White House moves to cancel all remaining 146 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that 147 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: those contracts are worth about one hundred million dollars. This 148 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: on top of more than two billion dollars in grants 149 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 4: that the administration froze last month, and on Monday, the 150 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: President threatened to give that money to trade schools. Here's 151 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: Harvard's president in an interview that was taped before news 152 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 4: broke about those latest contract cancelations. 153 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 5: I don't know fully what the motivations are, but I 154 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 5: do know that there are people who are fighting a 155 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 5: cultural battle. I don't know if that is what is 156 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 5: striving the administration. They don't like what's happened to campuses, 157 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 5: and sometimes they don't like what we represent. 158 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: The Harvard president right there, going on MPR, which the 159 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: president's also trying to defund, complaining about the motives of 160 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: the Trump administration. 161 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: You can't make it up. 162 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: Donald Trump doesn't care, by the way, and he's moving 163 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: forward with protecting America's interests and your tax dollars. 164 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: And lastly, story number three. 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 3: There's no other way to describe it but a major 166 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: victory for American taxpayers the US Department of Health and 167 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: Human Services under Secretary RFK Junior has canceled a seven 168 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty six million dollar contract with Maderna that 169 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: was intended to fund the development of an mRNA base 170 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: vaccine targeting pandemic influenza viruses, including the H five in 171 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: one bird flu. The funding, awarded through the Biomedical Advanced 172 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 3: Research and Development Authority known as BARDA, comprised one hundred 173 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: and seventy six million granted in July of twenty twenty 174 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: four and five hundred and ninety million in January of 175 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. The cancelation occurred despite Maderna reporting positive 176 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: interim results from early stage trials involving three hundred healthy adults, 177 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 3: which demonstrated they claimed a robust immune response and favorable 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: safety profile. That's obviously coming from the company. Well, when 179 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: the announcement came through, this is what it sounded like 180 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: on MSNBC. 181 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 6: Administration has canceled a contract with Maderna for the development 182 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 6: of a bird flu vaccine for humans or Angelica peebles 183 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 6: joins US now with more and you could conjecture a 184 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 6: lot of things about this. Between RFK Junior and vaccines 185 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 6: and mRNA. 186 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: What's behind all this? Yeah, good morning, Joe. 187 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 7: So this is just the latest in a string of 188 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 7: events that we've seen related to COVID vaccines over the 189 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 7: last week. And what's happening here is that the Trump 190 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 7: administration is canceling a more than seven hundred million dollar 191 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 7: contract with Maderna to develop a bird flu vaccine and 192 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 7: other pre pandemic influenza viruses. And so what's really notable 193 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 7: about this is that obviously we've seen this. You know, 194 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 7: we've seen bird flu tearing through birds and also dairy 195 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 7: cows and the risk to humans. And so what we 196 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 7: saw on the Biden administration is that they really ramped 197 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 7: up this work and they were helping to fund they 198 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 7: were going to fund a phase through trial to see 199 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 7: if we could use mRNA for a bird flu vaccine 200 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 7: if it indeed spills over to humans. And now the 201 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 7: cancelation of this vaccine is quite a surprise. Maybe not 202 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 7: a surprise now, because we had been hearing rumblings about 203 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 7: this for the past few months. But you know, we 204 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 7: just saw this, this contract ramp up right before the 205 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 7: last administration left, and now you have the Trump administration 206 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 7: saying that they felt like, after a rigorous review, we 207 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 7: concluded that the continued investment in Maderna's H five and 208 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 7: one mRNA vaccine was not scientifically or ethically justifiable. And 209 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 7: they're saying that it's not just about efficacy, it's about safety, 210 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 7: and so it's interesting to hear them really casting doubt 211 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 7: on just the safety and the efficacy of mRNA vaccines 212 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 7: as a whole. 213 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: You go back to what the HHS official stated in 214 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: that decision, and you would think the media would have 215 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 3: spent more time on this, saying following a comprehensive review, 216 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: they concluded that continued investment in Maderna's H five N 217 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: one and m r NA vaccine was not scientifically or 218 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: ethically justifiable. Now, concerns were raised about the safety and 219 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 3: testing rigor of the mr NA technology, and the HHS 220 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: emphasized the need for safety number one, integrity number two, 221 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: and public trust in medical advancements, something that had all 222 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 3: disappeared because of the quote COVID vaccine. 223 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Remember when they promised. 224 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: You if you got it, you were going to stop 225 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 3: the spread and you didn't have to worry about getting 226 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 3: COVID nineteen, Well that. 227 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: Never happened and we all know we were lied to now. 228 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 3: This move also aligns with Secretary of Kennedy's long standing 229 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 3: skepticism towards mr NA vaccines. Since assuming his roll in February, 230 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: Kenny has imputed several policy changes reflecting those views, including 231 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: rolling back COVID nineteen vaccine recommendations as we mentioned yesterday, 232 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: for healthy children and pregnant women, something that's been celebrated 233 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: by quite a few Americans. 234 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 5: Now. 235 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: To be clear, no one has banned vaccines. This is 236 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: going back to giving you the choice and a choice 237 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 3: that many Americans had taken away from them during the 238 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 3: COVID lockdown. 239 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Updates 240 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
