But he's a communist, and he's a 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: pure communist. I think he admits. Well, he said he's 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: going to fight Ice. He's not going to allow Ice 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: to you'll give orient success. And he said if Benjamin 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: Atanao comes to New York, he's going to have him. Marette, Well, 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: he's a radical left lunatic. 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: Good Monday morning.

First up, the Big Beautiful Bill. 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: It is well sausage being made in the Senate. Democrats 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to try to stop this from 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: becoming a reality. I'll give you the latest on where 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: we are right now on that. Also, who are the 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: Republicans that decide to vote against the Big Beautiful Bill 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: moving forward in the Senate. Well, one of them is 18 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: just announced they're not running for reelection, and we'll give 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: you those details as well. And finally, not one, not two, 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: but three major Supreme Court cases have been massive victories 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: for the Trump administration. The rule of law, Why is 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: the media not covering it? And what just happened to 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I'll give you all the details, but first, 24 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: right now, all of us, our help is needed with 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: the people that are under attack in Israel. We know 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: that Israel is at war with Iran, a nation that 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: is vowed to wipe Israel and even the United States 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: of America off the map. In a necessary act of 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: self defense, Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets, and 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: their top leadership. And right now, the International Fellowship of 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: distributions of life saving food, first date and emergency kits, 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: especially to Israel's most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children, 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: and families that are in great need.

That's IFCJ dot org. 47 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now, 48 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: story number one. So let's give you a big update 49 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: on the big beautiful bill. It is a very important 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: part of Donald Trump's momentum moving forward and can have 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: a massive impact on lower and middle class Americans especially. 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: So let's start with where we are now. The Senate 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: voted fifty one to forty nine along party lines to 54 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: move the bill forward into what they describe as formal debate. Now, 55 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: you may ask why was it so tight of a 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: vote Senator's Tom Tillis, And we're going to have an 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: update on Tom Tillis in a moment. What we're hearing 58 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: after this vote, as well as Senator Ram Paul. They 59 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: decided to go with the Democrats opposing the motion. GOP 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: leaders had to strike last minute deals to secure the votes, 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: and it did pass fifty one forty nine to move forward. Now. 62 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: It is nine and forty pages long. It is covering 63 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot. It's covering tax cuts, it's covering medicaid. It's 64 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: also covering snap food stamp benefits. It is expanding border 65 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: and deportation funding. It also has defense and clean energy 66 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: tax changes, as well as an increased salt deduction cap, 67 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: as well as child tax credit changes. Now, here's what 68 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: this bill looks like in its grand form, nine hundred 69 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: and forty pages long. What we're hearing from the Congressional 70 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Budget Office is it estimates it will add three point 71 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: three trillion dollars to the national debt over ten years 72 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: and result in eleven million fewered they claim insured individuals 73 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: by twenty thirty four. That's what Democrats are seizing on 74 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: right now to say this is a terrible bill. But 75 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: let's talk about what is actually reality here. Donald Trump 76 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: coming out praising the vote is a great victory and 77 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: pushing this for the final vote by July fourth, Democrats 78 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: led by Chuck Schumer are now forcing and you want 79 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: to talk about a moment of hypocrisy, they are actually 80 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: forcing to stall the vote. A quote full reading of 81 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: the nine hundred and forty page texts it will be 82 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty hours. Why are they doing that to 83 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: slow the proceedings? Now? You may remember back in the 84 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: day when Nancy Pelosi, referring to Obamacare, said we won't 85 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: know what's in the bill until we pass the bill. 86 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: Apparently now they're more than happy to read a bill 87 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: only if it means stalling Donald Trump's agenda. Now, there 88 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: have been a lot of critics, Elon Musk calling it 89 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: utter insanity, Ram Paul mon Child account provision at and 90 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: making jobs also at Elon Musk, Senator Mark Warner calling 91 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: it a political albatross. So there's always going to be 92 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: people that don't like what is in the bill, and 93 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you're hearing from them right now. The big question is 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: what is next? Well, Number one, the debate is ongoing 95 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: as I'm recording this. Sinners now have a marathon vote, 96 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: as they described it, a vote a rama session to 97 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: propose amendments. And what Democrats are trying to do is 98 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to tie amendments to this bill that would 99 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: kill the bill, hurt the bill that no Republican would 100 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: ever want to vote for. That is to try to 101 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: stop the bill from becoming law or to postpone this 102 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: bill so they can get more things in there that 103 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: they want. There is also what we refer to as 104 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: the sausage being made many Republicans who aren't hardcore conservative 105 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: American first individuals. They're wanting something for their vote. And 106 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: that doesn't count the Democrats who are doing a whole 107 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of horse trading as we speak 108 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: right now. Now you have parliamentarian ruling, all right. They 109 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: have already struck down several provisions under the Bird rule limits, 110 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: and that further adjustments are expected to this bill before 111 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: the final vote. Once amendments wrap up, a final Senate 112 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: vote is likely to happen sometime this week, possibly or 113 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: in theory the president is hoping it will be a 114 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: July fourth celebration. More than likely, this could happen on Tuesday, 115 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: maybe Wednesday, as far away as Thursday or Friday. Now, 116 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: if it passes, and many Conservatives expect that it is 117 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: going to pass, then it would return to the House 118 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: for approval yet again, and then it would go to 119 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's desk for signing, potentially as he is asking 120 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: for it before the July fourth, And that is the 121 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: goal of the GOP and the administration. So let's just 122 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: give a quick recap on what I've given you. In substance, 123 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: it advanced in the Senate in a massive fifty one 124 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: to forty nine procedural vote. That was the biggest hurdle. 125 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: This is the reason why I and the White House believe, 126 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: and insiders on Capitol Hill are telling me they believe 127 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: this will become law. They are key contents to this 128 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: that every American should care about. Number one, and the 129 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: biggest thing is broad tax cuts. There's also safety net 130 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: reductions for those that deal with waste, fraud, and abuse. 131 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: Many Americans voted for that, and that is where people 132 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: are saying, Okay, what's next. There's also the argument that 133 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: if we did nothing, we would actually see the deficit 134 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: grow at even a faster rate than the three point 135 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: three trillion that this is going to cost. So now 136 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: you are up to date on where we are at 137 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the very moment and what is happening as we speak. 138 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: It is called vote rama. It is voting on amendment 139 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: after amendment after they read this bill, which will take 140 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: sixteen to eighteen nineteen hours depending on who you talk to, 141 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: and then the final votes in the Senate. In theory, 142 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: are going to happen early this week, then House concurrence, 143 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: and then Donald Trump will sign off on this bill, 144 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: hoping to celebrate it on the fourth of July, which 145 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: would be a very monumental moment for him. So this 146 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: is where we are good things change. Yes, are their 147 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: Democrats right now trying to derail all of this. Absolutely. 148 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: By the way, there's also Republicans that are trying to 149 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: derail this as well, which brings me to my second story. 150 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Tom tillis one of the two Republicans that vote against 151 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill, is not running for reelection after 152 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: opposing the Big Beautiful Bill. Senator Tom tillis a Republican 153 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: from North Carolina, announcing that he's not running for reelection, 154 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: and in a statement issued on Sunday, Tillis highlighted how 155 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: he is quote proud of his career in public service. 156 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: Tillis also expected he is most proud of his bipartisan victories, 157 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: such as passing the first nation eugenics compensation as speaker 158 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: and working across the aisle in the Senate to pass 159 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: the largest investment in mental health in the history of 160 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: the United States of America. Till has continued to admit 161 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: that sometimes quote those bipartisan initiatives got him in trouble 162 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: with his own own party, saying this in Washington. Over 163 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: the last few years, it's been increasingly evident that leaders 164 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, embrace compromise, and demonstrate 165 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: independent thinking are becoming an endangered species. Democrats recently lost 166 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: two such leaders who were dedicated to making the Senate 167 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: more of a functional and productive legislative body. Tillis continued, 168 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: they got things done, but they were shunned after they 169 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: courageously refused to cave to their party bosses to nuke 170 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: the filibuster for the sake of political expediency. They ultimately retired, 171 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: and their presence and Senate Chamber has been sorely missed 172 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: every day since. Till has continued on this grand standing 173 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: moment and expressed that he was beyond grateful for his 174 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: friends that he had made and added, and that he 175 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: looked forward to continuing to serve North Carolina over the 176 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: next eighteen months. Tillis issuing this statement also Saturday, expressing 177 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: that he had done his homework on behalf of North 178 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: Carolinas and was unable to support the big, beautiful bill 179 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: in its current form, saying I did my homework, I 180 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: cannot support the bill. It would result in tens of 181 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in loss funding for North Carolina, including 182 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: our hospitals and rural communities. This will force the state 183 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for one 184 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands and the expansion population, and even reducing 185 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: critical services for those in traditional Medicaid population. So there 186 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: you have it. Now. Donald Trump did have a response 187 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: to this. Trump expressed in a post on True Social 188 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: that the people of North Carolina would not allow Tillis 189 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: to grant stand in order to get some publicity for himself, saying, quote, 190 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: looks like Senator Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the 191 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: nation he's giving them a sixty eight percent tax increase 192 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: as opposed to big tax cuts in American history, that 193 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm giving them the same time, he's unable to understand 194 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: the importance of a dead extension, which Republicans gave to 195 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats just prior to the Nomber fifth election, because 196 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: of its significant and how important it was for the 197 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: future of the USA. Trump riding in a post now 198 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Tom Tillis vote the 199 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: way he did for one reason, because he knew he 200 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: couldn't win re election, and now he's acting like he 201 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: is a martyr. Thank goodness, Donald Trump is involved, and 202 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure that he will be helping find a great 203 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: America first candidate to run in that election. I want 204 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: to also bring to your attention a story that's being underreported, 205 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: especially because it's such massive news for the Trump administration 206 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: and law in America. The Supreme Court has come out 207 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: with their latest rulings and they have a significant impact 208 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: on the country the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's term 209 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: came to a close and it dealt major wins for 210 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: President Trump and well as well as the rule of law. 211 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: Three different cases that I want to get into here 212 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: so you understand just how big they were. Vumber one 213 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: was Trump versus Cassa. It was under the issue of 214 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: a universal injunctions. And this is something that was such 215 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: a big issue because you had these judges that were 216 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: basically blocking the presence agenda. And as they were blocking 217 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: the agenda the present, they were doing it in smaller 218 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: lower courts. Well, guess what the Supreme Court says universal 219 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: injunctions aren't actually going to work this way moving forward. 220 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: There was also another ruling that was massive as well, 221 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: and it dealt with the Free Speech Coalition versus the 222 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: State of Texas aka the Attorney General there Ken Paxton. 223 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: It was a six to three ruling as well, and 224 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: it held that Texas's age verification law for porn sites 225 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,239 Speaker 1: is in fact constitutional. This was a massive victory, especially 226 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: after we just had to take it down. Act where 227 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: you could not bully people by putting up fake pictures 228 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: of them neked on the internet or revenge pictures maybe 229 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: that you received of someone and then throw them up 230 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: on the Internet to get revenge. It was making it 231 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: clearly against the law and parties had to take it 232 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: down immediately. They could also be fine. So you look 233 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: at this big fight in Texas, it was very simple. 234 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: What this was was a moment where we were trying 235 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: to protect those eighteen and under from hardcore pornography on 236 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: the internet by using age verification. Now, almost every one 237 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: of the porn sites in America had gotten together with 238 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: a lobbyists to try to stop this, ensuing Texas to 239 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: try to say that this was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court 240 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: came down the side of Texas saying they have a 241 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: right to protect those eighteen and under from pornography on 242 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: the internet and by using age verification. Now, what is 243 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: this going to do, for example, in a place like Texas. 244 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: It drastically reduces the amount of time that is spent 245 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: on the Internet by underage individuals looking at pornography. And again, 246 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: this should be a state's issue, and that's what the 247 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is saying. There was also a third Supreme 248 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Court decision that came down and it was massive Mohammed Verse. 249 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: This is Taylor. And what this dealt with is that 250 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: hell that parents of public school children can opt out 251 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: of LGBTQ plus curriculum. Now, this is not only a 252 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: big win for religious liberty and parental rights, it is 253 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: also another example of why it's so important to have 254 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: school choice in this country. Now, you look at what 255 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: this dealt with, and it was very simple. Should a 256 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: parent have the right in a public school to be 257 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: able to opt their child out of the propaganda that 258 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: the left is trying to force on them When it 259 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: comes to transsexuals, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and everything else under 260 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus flag, there are parents that tried to 261 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: opt their kids out, and there were schools that said, no, 262 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: you cannot do it. It's part of the public school curriculum. 263 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: And this was obviously taking away parents' rights. Well, now 264 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: we know that parents do, in fact have a right 265 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: to decide what their kids are indoctrinated with, especially when 266 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: it's something is controversial and as radical as the extreme 267 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: view points of the LGBTQ activist community. Now you look 268 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: at all three of these rulings. If these were rulings 269 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: in favor of Joe Biden's agenda, for example, it would 270 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: be wall to wall coverage. If this was the rulings 271 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: of Barack Obama that helped him when he was the president, 272 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: it would have been wall to wall coverage. But there's 273 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: a very good chance at about ninety nine percent of 274 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: you listening to me right now knew nothing about any 275 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: of these three cases that all came down in favor 276 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: of parents in came down in favor of the Trump 277 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: agenda and the Trump White House and his presidency. The 278 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, as Fox News put it, rules on Trump's 279 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship order testing lower court power was another one 280 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: of the big things that came through the Supreme Court 281 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: is also deciding whether to allow parents to show children 282 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: from these books in school in the LGBTQ community. Again 283 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: a victory for us. This was a massive the White 284 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: House putting out a statement putting it this way, saying, quote, 285 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: Today's decision restores the proper separation of powers between the 286 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: branches of government. Ending nationwide injunctions is a tremendous victory 287 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: for the American people in the rule of law that 288 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: coming from the White House Council David Warrington saying quote, 289 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: no longer can rogue activist judges abuse their authority to 290 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: dictate the executive powers of the president of the United States. 291 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court ruled. It's a massive victory for the Constitution, 292 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: the rule of law, and the presidency itself. The White 293 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: House says in their statement, saying this. Since the moment 294 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: President Trump took office, low level activist judges have been 295 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: exploiting their positions to recap the agenda of which he 296 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: President Trump was overwhelmingly elected. In fact, of the forty 297 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: nationwide injunctions filed against Trump's executive actions in his second term, 298 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: thirty five of them came from just five far left jurisdictions. 299 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: In California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington, the District of Columbia. So 300 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: now the Trump administration can properly proceed and critical actions 301 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: save the country can happen. Congratulations the Trump Administration for 302 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: every American that believes in the rule of law. 303 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 304 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
