It's the forty seven Morning Update 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 4: and it starts right now. 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: Story number one. 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 4: It was Black Tuesday for many in the federal government 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 4: as the head of the TSA and the Coast Guard 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 4: were fired on Trump's first full day in office. President 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 4: Trump moved quickly to remake the Department of Homeland Security, 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: firing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 4: Coast Guard before their terms were even up, and eliminated 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 4: all members of a key aviation security advisory group as well. Now, 28 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 4: Trump's immigration policy changes through the most attention at Homeland Security, 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 4: but he's also making changes at the rest of the 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 4: massive agency. Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: a memo Tuesday morning saying that the Department is eliminating 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 4: the membership of all advisory committees as part of a 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 4: commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that 34 00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 4: the Department of homelanded Security activities prioritize specifically our national security. 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 4: The Aviation Security Committee, which was mandated by Congress after 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty eight Pamm one oh three bombing over 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 4: lockingby Scotland, will technically continue to exist, but it won't 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: have any members to carry out the work of examining 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 4: safety issues at airlines and airports. Liberals are claiming at 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: this hour, but the reality is there are plenty of 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 4: people that are doing that right now. Who's angry about it? Well, 42 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 4: major unions. That's right because the airlines and majored unions 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: were a member of the group associated with all of 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: this government bureaucracy. This is another example of Donald Trump 45 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 4: saying I'm coming in and I'm cleaning house. Now. That 46 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: isn't all who lost their jobs in our bloated government. 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: You know. Donald Trump became very famous for being the 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 4: guy that says you're fired. Well, Donald Trump is telling 49 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 4: many Biden appointees you're out of a job. And now 50 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: it's a he said. She said, no, no, no, you 51 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: didn't fire me. I already quit. I wish I was joking, 52 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 4: but I'm not. Donald Trump says he plans to remove 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: over one thousand Biden appointees, and there are many that 54 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 4: are very angry about President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying 55 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 4: I have these plans because I'm not keeping any of 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 4: them Joe Biden's appointees from their government positions. He said, yeah, 57 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: you're gone, and he had already fired four individuals immediately, 58 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 4: including a celebrity shift Jose Andreas and a former top 59 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: general Mark Milly. You're fired, is what Trump wrote in 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: an early morning post on his True social platform that 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: named Milly and Andreas, as well as his former I 62 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 4: ran envoy Brian Hook and the former Atlanta mayor Keisha 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: Lance Bottoms, who Biden appointed to an export council. Andreas 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: and Bottom said they quote unquote had already quit their 65 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: posts before Trump's inauguration. Trump's post said his personal office 66 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 4: is quote actively in the process of identifying and removing 67 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: over one thousand presidential appointees from the Biden administration who 68 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: are quote not aligned with our vision to make America 69 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 4: great again. Donald Trump wasn't done there. When it came 70 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 4: to changing things very quickly, he also decided to move 71 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: to another issue. He Trump ordered all federal diversity, Equity 72 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: and Inclusion employees placed on paid leave starting on Wednesday. 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 4: Yes NBC News reporting that the Trump administration also directed 74 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 4: government agencies to draw plans for firing workers in DEI roles. 75 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 4: The Trump administration is ordering all federal employees the White 76 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 4: House announced in these roles on paid lead by Wednesday 77 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: evening at five o'clock that according to a new memo 78 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 4: from the Office of Personnel Management.

As you know, 103 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: there's great competition for AI and other things, and they're 104 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: coming in at the highest level. We're joined by Oracle 105 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: Executive Chairman Larry Ellison, Soft Bank CEO, my friend Masa 106 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: Masa Yoshi's son and CEO of Open Ai, and I 107 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: would say the by far the leading expert based on 108 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: everything I read, Sam Altman.

When it comes to 134 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 4: national security and the Southern Border. The man who's in 135 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 4: charge of securing the Southern Border, Tom Homan, said today 136 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: that ice deportation operations have already begun. 137 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: Teams are all there as of today. We gave him 138 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: the in direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're 139 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: looking for, so we've been working on the target list. 140 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: There was some discussion about with Chicago because the Pacific 141 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: Operational Plan was released, so we had to look at 142 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: and reevaluate does this raise after safety concerns and it does, 143 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: but we've address that in teams. You all despective today. 144 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 4: Teams are out there today. So what exactly has happened 145 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 4: since Donald Trump was sworn in. I have the list 146 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: for you now. It is a list that the media 147 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 4: is not wanting to talk about because it's actually a 148 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: very extensive list of promises made and promises cap So 149 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 4: let's go through it so you know exactly where we 150 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: are in the process of securing the border. On January 151 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: the twenty first, Donald Trump signed several executive orders aimed 152 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 4: at strengthening border security. Number one a National Emergency Declaration 153 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 4: declaring a national emergency at the US Mexico border, enabling 154 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 4: the deployment of federal troops to assist in border enforcement. 155 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: There was another promise that was made, and that deal 156 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: with the remain in Mexico policy. Well, Donald Trump paid 157 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: off on that promise, reinstating the policy requiring asylum seekers 158 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 4: to wait in Mexico during immigration proceedings, which will have 159 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: a massive impact on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants 160 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 4: across the border. One of the other major issues Donald 161 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: Trump talked about back in the campaign in twenty sixteen 162 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: for president was building a border wall. Well, Donald Trump 163 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: is ordered the resumption and now the completion of the 164 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: border wall along the southern border as fast as humanly possible. Also, 165 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: in another major move, and the media lost their minds 166 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: over this, Donald Trump decided to terminate birthright citizenship, signing 167 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 4: an order to end automatic US citizenship for a child 168 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: born in the US to an undocumented immigrant. This move 169 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 4: is likely going to face major legal challenges due to 170 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 4: the fourteenth Amendment. That doesn't mean that Donald Trump isn't 171 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: willing to have that conversation now. Donald Trump also took 172 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 4: a major action which shocked the world, especially those that 173 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 4: advocate for illegal immigrants. He decided to been the CBP 174 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: one app. Now. Disabling this app, which allows migrants to 175 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: schedule legal entry appointments, resulted in cancelations for thousands and 176 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 4: thousands of applicants, sending a very clear message that you 177 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 4: can't just come across a wide open southern border and 178 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: think we are going to let you stay here. The 179 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: app right now does not work. And also, in what 180 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: is being described as the biggest and boldest move of 181 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 4: all of these actions, is the present's decision to designate 182 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: cartels as terrorists organizations. Classifying certain drug cartels and gangs 183 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: such as MS thirteen as foreign terrorist organizations would allow 184 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 4: for aggressive actions to be taken against them, including using 185 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 4: the US military. You combine all of this together, and 186 00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:00,239 Speaker 4: this marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, reflecting 187 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 4: a return to an expansion of measures from President Donald 188 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 4: Trump's first term. In translation, Donald Trump made a lot 189 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: of promises and he is keeping them, especially when it 190 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: comes to securing the southern border. 191 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 5: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 192 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 5: with Ben Ferguson.
