1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: We actually think that we are seeing signs that the

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Straits is starting to reopen. I think you guys have

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: probably seen oil prices have come down, so I think

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: the oil markets, the gas markets are seeing the same thing.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon,

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: and it just didn't. We never made that promise, we

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: never indicated that was going to be the case. And

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: then yes, you have some crazy people at the fringes

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: of the Iranian system who are leaking anonymously, either for

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: propaganda purposes or because they're embarrassed, or because they don't

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: like what happened.

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 4: Nice to have you with us on the forty seven

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: Morning Update, and we've got one big story for you

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 4: this morning. Democrats are now saying exactly what they're going

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: to do if they regain control of the House and

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: the Senate. They're now saying, if you give them power,

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 4: not only are they going to impeach and run Donald

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: Trump out of office, but they're also going to impeach

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: the Vice President JD.

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 3: Vance so who would be in charge.

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: Because they also say they want to target the Speaker

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: of the House. I've got all the details. It's a

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 4: forty seven morning update and it starts right now.

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: Story number one.

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: If you want to know what Democrats are going to

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: do if they get control of the House and the Senate,

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: well they're now literally campaigning off of their agenda item,

30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: and that is to impeach and remove not just President

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: Donald Trump but also Vice President jd. Vance, even if

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: it means rigging the US Senate's two hundred and fifty

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: year old impeachment process. How do we know that, Well,

34
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: a far left Democrat, a guy by the name of

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: George Conway, has explained it all in a new interview

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 4: and here is what he said.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: And I do think we're going to have also a

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 5: democratic Senate, and yeah, I don't know whether it'll be

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: fifty two, fifty three, fifty four, maybe even more. And

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: that when you have control of the Senate, that way

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 5: you can set the rules, and the rules this time

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 5: should be should provide for a real trial, not these

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 5: show arguments. These you know, these statements on the floor

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: by managers where there's politicians giving speeches, but where you

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: put on live witnesses and you can show that they're lying,

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 5: and you can show how they're being done, and they

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 5: have to answer the questions, and the Chief Justice of

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 5: the United States will direct them to answer questions. A trial,

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: a real trial, that's what the framers of the Constitution meant,

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 5: and that will be I think, an education for the

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 5: American people who will be suffering from all of the

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 5: deleterious effects of Trump's chaotic policies and his you know,

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: psychotic policies. Frankly, he's just he's now just out of

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 5: his mind. And at that point, you know, the trial

55
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 5: will show people that this is not the way government

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 5: is supposed to operate. This is corrupt buying. You know,

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 5: A good trial presentation is going to basically, I think,

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 5: flip enough Republicans who will be exhausted by this and

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: who want to rescue their party. If it can be right,

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: then give them vance. But JD Vance But look, I

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 5: mean JD Vance is you know, subject to impeachable offense.

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: He may be impeached two and removed.

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: That's that's also possible. But also it will have even

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: if he is not, it will have a chilling or

65
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: an effect on everybody else who comes after that. You know,

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: we can't. You can't do this. You have to obey

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: the law. You have to obay the Constitution, you have

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: to obey your duties and your oath.

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Now let's go back to just the words you heard there.

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: One of the things he said was a good trial

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: presentation is going to basically, I think, flip enough Republicans

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: who will be exhausted by this and who will want

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: to rescue their party. In other words, he's looking for

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: the neo cons he's looking for the rhino Republicans in

75
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: name only. And then he added this Jdie Vance's subject

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: to impeachable offenses. He may be impeached two and removed.

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: That's also possible. This is now the Democratic Party's playbook.

78
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: And after admitting that they would violate the two one

79
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty year constitutional norm of the impeachment process,

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party is literally saying, and we need to

81
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: reassert those norms that we used to accept and take

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: for granted. And if we don't do that, there's no

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: one else to do it. If Congress can't do it,

84
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: nobody can. Now this is the playbook for the Democratic

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: Party of the midterm elections. If they gain the Houses Senate.

86
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: They're saying, to hell with the Constitution, to hell with America.

87
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: We are going to go after and throw out of

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 4: office every par we don't like. We're gonna go after

89
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: the president, We're gonna go after the vice president, and

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: we'll go after anybody else that we can now understand.

91
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: This is the reason why.

92
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: You should believe this is because this is all a

93
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 4: piece of the never Trump plan in general. Remember, the

94
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: never Trump plan has been to bankrupt President Trump, bankrupt

95
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: his family members, overturn Trump's selection. That doesn't work, then

96
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: we jail Donald Trump, don't forget, he's got a mug shot,

97
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: and then jail the Trump family as well, and then

98
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: we act like we're just gonna go back to normal life. No,

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: this is the Democratic Party, now, this is the new norm.

100
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: Now.

101
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 4: When all of that didn't work, what came next. Assassinate

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: the president United States of America. They tried that as well.

103
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: Never forget, the President was in fact shot in the ear,

104
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: and if he wouldn't have turned his head, by the

105
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: grace of God, unfortunately, we would probably be without Donald

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 4: Trump right now. And that's the Democrats whole plan and goal.

107
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: The only way to save the norms is to burn

108
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: all the norms to the ground. Is also what the

109
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: Democratic Party is saying, meaning we don't respect this country.

110
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 4: We don't respect the laws of this country. We sure

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: as hell don't respect the Constitution, we don't respect the

112
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: founding fathers, we don't respect the court system, we don't

113
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: respect the Supreme Court. We delegitimize all of it. Now,

114
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: you may say, all right, Conway is a political guy

115
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: that's been out there for a long time, and he's kind.

116
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: We know he's a lefty, we know he hates Trump.

117
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: He's got trump drangent syndrome. Surely he can't be speaking

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: on behalf of like Democratic candidates.

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: Well, let me just remind you.

120
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: Conway is now running for the United States Congress to

121
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: replace retiring Representative Jerry Navler in New York's twelfth Congressional district,

122
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: which is kind of perfect if you think about it.

123
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: Conway would be the perfect replacement for Democrats. Both I

124
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: and Naveler are old moll they're ugly, they're fast, their

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: home with their leftists, their authoritarians, and they both walk funny.

126
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: You can't make it up.

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: Conway, by the way, is an individual here who is

128
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: behind in the polls. He's got some other crazies he's

129
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: got to run behind as well, and some of those

130
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: are just really creepy individuals.

131
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: I'll save that for another show.

132
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: But what I do want you to understand about what

133
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: George Conway is saying here, and what is very real,

134
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: is the Democrats that are on the ballot.

135
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: This is what they are running on.

136
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: This is the same party that already spied on the

137
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: American people. We know in fact now, and this coming

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: from the Blaze media, that the government funded a weapon

139
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: to fight terrorism and instead, do you want to know

140
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: what happened? They used it on the Blaze, a conservative

141
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: news site. An agency established by Barack Obama backed companies

142
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: that took steps to limit America's And it didn't take

143
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: long for a federal government agency originally designed to censor

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: certain foreign entities and curate their narratives on terrorism to

145
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: literally be turned on Americans. Now, this goes back to

146
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: President Barack Obama. He issued an executive order all the

147
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: way back in twenty eleven establishing the Center for Strategic

148
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: Counter Terrorism Communications within the State Department. That doesn't sound

149
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: threatening to any of us, right, Well, you'd be wrong.

150
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: They weaponized this exact agency and these strategic counter terrorism

151
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: communication against conservatives. Now, the agency was initially tasked with

152
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: quote using communication tools to reduce radicalization by terrorists and

153
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 4: extremist violence and terrorism that threatened the interest in national

154
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: security of the United States quote unquote. Obama then broadened

155
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: the mission of the agency and renamed it the Global

156
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: Engagement Center in another executive order just months prior to

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 4: Don Trump's election victory in sixteen. Now, the Global Engagement Center,

158
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: overseen by a steering committee of Deep State officials, codified

159
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: into law in the twenty seventeen National Defense Authorization Act

160
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: and afforded both grant making authority and the ability to

161
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: quote leverage expertise from outside the federal government, eventually became,

162
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: as one former intelligence source said, an incubator for the

163
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: domestic disinformation complex quote unquote, well, in the final days

164
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: of the first Trump presidency, we're now learning that the

165
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: deep State and its censorship contractors, desperate to control the

166
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: narrative about the twenty twenty presidential election and the COVID

167
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: nineteen virus, turned this disinformation complex on conservative site Blaze Media,

168
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: and a quote proof of concept test is what they claimed.

169
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: It was, according to the discovery evidence gleaned by the

170
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: federal and a now settled case against the government, The

171
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 4: Global Engagement Center backed a trial targeting Blaze Media and

172
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 4: the free speech in its platforms. Despite concerns at the

173
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: State Department about possibly censoring an American company with an

174
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: American audience in contradiction of the agency's foreign focus mandate,

175
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: it didn't matter.

176
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: The Global Engagement.

177
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: Center, which Secretary of Saint Marco Rubio acknowledge actively silenced

178
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: and censored the voices of Americans that we're supposed to

179
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: be serving, was nominally closed in January of twenty twenty five,

180
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 4: then effectively killed by the Trump administration last April hundred,

181
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 4: its final name the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation Interference Hub Now.

182
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: Two years prior to the agency's demise, the Federalists and

183
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: several other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Global Engagement

184
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 4: Center and the State Department. You may be asking yourself,

185
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: why have I never heard about this? Because the media

186
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: didn't want you to know about it. The lawsuit accused

187
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 4: the government of actively intervening in the news media market

188
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: throughout the Global Engagement Center to render disfavored press outlets

189
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: unprofitable by funding the infrastructure, development, and marketing and promotion

190
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: of censorship technology and private censorship enterprises to covertly suppress

191
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: speech of a segment of the American press.

192
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: Well, guess exactly what press that was. It was conservative media.

193
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: So if you think that Democrats in this midterm election

194
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: are not going to turn this agency right back on

195
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: to silence and censor conservatives, you're insane. And if you

196
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: think the Democratic Party isn't going to go a wall

197
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: and destroy America's constitution right away if they get power,

198
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: you're also wrong. They want to get rid of Trump

199
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: and the vice presidency and anyone else that stands in

200
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: their way, and now they're saying it openly in interviews

201
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: for everyone to see.
