1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Secure our border, and we're stopping the invasion of our country.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, our border right now is more secure than

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: it's ever been four weeks. Today is our fourth week

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: end of the week. We've done more than four weeks, well,

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: certainly than the last administration did in four years. They

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: actually went to the wrong direction.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: Well, happy Friday morning, you made it to the weekend.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: we're covering today on the forty seven Morning up Date.

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: First up, Donald Trump paying off on a massive promise

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: from the campaign, putting the US on track to have

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 3: the lowest monthly border crossings and more than a quarter

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: of a century. Also, Donald Trump moves even closer to

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. There's a very

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: good chance to'll be meeting face to face with Vladimir

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: Putin in the coming days. And finally, congratulations, your government's

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: getting smaller as the Trump administration has begun mass layoffs

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: across multiple federal agencies. How much money is it going

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: to save you as a taxpayer. I'll have some of

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: those figures for you. Coming up. It's the forty seven

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Morning Update, and it starts right now.

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Story number one.

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: When it comes to border security, it's very clear right

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: now there are two Americas. The border is being secured

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: before our very eyes, and democratic jurisdictions are now turning

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: a blind eye to illegal aliens and their activity. The

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: good news is the Trump administration is still willing to

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: go and get the illegal immigrants, even in sanctuary cities,

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: and they're even willing to use the law to go

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: after those that are protecting illegal immigrants. We also now

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: have a major update about just how tight the border

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: has become. In less than a month since Trump got

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: into the Oval office, illegal border crossings have already hit

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: a record low after Trump's swift crackdown and could be

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: on track for levels not seen in sixty years. So

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: far in February, about three hundred and fifty nine illegal

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: migrants per day have been caught across the entire southern border.

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: That is down more than ninety percent from February of

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: last year. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had their

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: open border policy on full display, that puts the US

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: on track to have the lowest monthly border crossings in

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: at least a quarter of a century. If the trend continues,

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: the number of illegal migrants coming into the US had

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: had a level not seen since nineteen sixty eight, nearly

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: sixty years ago. What's even more interesting than that is

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: how Democrats are doing everything in their power to attack

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and the borders are Tom Homan. Tom went

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: on Fox and Friends and had this to say about

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: the President's leadership and what it means for the people

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: in America.

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: President's doing a great job. And I want to say this. Look,

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: I worked for six presidents. I think President Trump's the

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: greatest president in my lifetime. He proves it every day.

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 4: Every day he proves to me why he is the

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: greatest president in my lifetime. Border numbers are down over

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: ninety percent in three weeks. Think about that. I worked

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: tired at it. You know, Christi Nolan's working hard at it.

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: You know the border, the chief of Trolley's working hard that.

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: But it was President Trump's executive orders that was a

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: game changer, right And we already got over six almost

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: sixteen thousand people we rest in the interior. That's three

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: times more than Joe Biden had a year. From now,

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: but it's not enough. We got to do more. But

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: President thumps leadership. When you when you get ninety percent

66
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: less people coming across the border, how many women aren't

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: being raped by the cartels, how many children aren't drawing?

68
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: How many how many women children aren't being sex tracked

69
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: in this country. President Trump's a game changer. And every

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: day I'll I'll say a one hundred times. Every day

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: he proves to me why he's the greatest president in

72
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: my lifetime, with you.

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: Why he's the greatest president of my lifetime. Border numbers

74
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: are down over ninety percent in three weeks. It is

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: incredible when you hear these numbers come from the borders

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: are now. To be clear, Democrats are not going down

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: without a fight. They're doing everything they can to undermine

78
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: a secure border, and they're doing everything they can to

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: protect illegal immigrants. The Millusion at Fox said this about

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: what some Democrats are doing.

81
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: Well, Dan, it's hard to believe there are any jurisdictions

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: out there that wouldn't cooperate with ICE when it comes

83
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: to illegal aliens charged with forcibly raping children. But in

84
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: Massachusetts it's just routine. Take a look at this case.

85
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 5: Ice Boston just announcing they arrested this guadmal In illegal

86
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: alien charged in Massachusetts with three counts of aggravated child

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: rape and three counts of forcible rape of a child.

88
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: So the question is why was he on the streets

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 5: right well, I says their detainer request on him was

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: ignored by the Essex County Superior Court due to sanctuary policy.

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: The locals released.

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: Him in in the community on bail without any notice

93
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: to ICE. In a statement, the director of ICE Boston says,

94
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: in part quote, Jose Fernando Perez has been charged with

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: some horrific crymes against a minor in our commonwealth. He

96
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: is exactly the type of alien we are targeting with

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: our worst first policy. He posts a significant danger to

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 5: the children of Massachusetts and we will not tolerate such

99
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 5: a threat to our community. ICE Boston also announcing the

100
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: arrest of this Turkish illegal alien charged in Massachusetts with

101
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 5: a sultant battery against an intellectually disabled person and witness intimidation.

102
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: But I says their detainer on him was also ignored

103
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: by the sanctuary city of Somerville. He had also been

104
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: released into the public elsewhere around the US. I Seattle

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 5: arrested this Salvadoran illegal alien wanted in his home country

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 5: for aggravated homicide. Here in Los Angeles, ICE arrested this

107
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: Guatemalan illegal alien charged with sexual assault and rape with

108
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: a gun. And in Colorado, the DEA announced their top

109
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: ten arrests of illegal immigrants in recent days, including several

110
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 5: affiliated with Trendya Arragua and others with egregious crimes like kidnapping,

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: child sexual assault, and fentanyl trafficking and Dana. I was

112
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 5: talking to a law enforcement source in Massachusetts about the

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: child rape case that I referenced, and I asked, like,

114
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 5: there's got to be some sort of a catch here, right,

115
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 5: forget about cooperating with ICE. How does somebody charge with

116
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 5: so many counts of aggravated forcible child rape even get

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: released on bail in the first place. The response I

118
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: got was, quote, welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

119
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: It is very clear that these liberal states are willing

120
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: to put their own citizens and children at risk just

121
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: to say no cure border because it's what Donald Trump

122
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: and the American people want now.

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: Story number two.

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: President Trump made it very clear when he was running

125
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: for president that if he was elected, he was going

126
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: to end the senseless war between Russia and Ukraine. Not

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: only is it counting countless innocent people's lives, but it's

128
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: also costing America billions and billions of dollars. There's many

129
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: Republican warhawks and Democrats are obsessed with funding this war

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: and with making sure there's no end in sight. Donald

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: Trump has other plans, promising that he would end it,

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: and now we have learned as of Sunday that he

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: could meet quote very soon with Vladimir Putin face to face,

134
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 3: adding he believes his Russian counterpart genuinely wants to stop

135
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 3: fighting in Ukraine. Quote no time set, but it could

136
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: be very soon, Trump told reporters, hours after the Secretary

137
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: of State Marco Rubio sought the play down expectations of

138
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: upcoming high level talks and ending the war altogether now,

139
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: with Rubio said to lead this high level American delegation

140
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: the discussions with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia's capital in

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: the coming days, a flurry of diplomacy was taking place

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: as the brutal Ukraine War nears its third anniversary. Trump,

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: addressing reporters after a flat on air Force one, said

144
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: his team has been speaking long and hard with Russian officials,

145
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: including his Middle East envoy, whom the President said met

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: with Putin for about three hours recently, saying this, I

147
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: think he wants to stop fighting, Trump said of Putin,

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: ask whether he believes Putin wants to seize the entirety

149
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: of Ukraine. Trump said, that was my question to him.

150
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: If he's going to go on, that would have caused

151
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: me a big problem. Trump added, I think he wants

152
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: to end it, and they want to end it fast,

153
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: both of them, he said, adding Zelenski wants to end

154
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: it two. The Ukrainian president. Zolenski meanwhile said Sunday he

155
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: believes Russia's preparing to quote wage war against a week

156
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: in NATO should Trump dilute US support for the alliance.

157
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: Trump appeared to dismiss Zelensky's remarks, telling reporters that he

158
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: was not even a little bit concerned about the Ukrainian

159
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: leader's messaging. A President Trump has been very clear, and

160
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: he has constantly insisted that he would end the Ukrainian

161
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: conflict in a single day if he returned to the

162
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: White House. Rubio stressing yes, he believes this could come

163
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: to an end at the end of the day, it's

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: all about the money. And Donald Trump is clearly telegraphing

165
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 3: to Zolensky and Ukraine that the money and the arms

166
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: are going to be drawing up very soon, so you

167
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: better get your act together.

168
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three, the.

169
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: Trump administration has begun mass layoffs of federal workers and

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: the left is losing their mind because of a payoff.

171
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: Donald Trump said that our government was way too bloated,

172
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: and he's now proving his point. The administration beginning the

173
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: mass layoffs across multiple federal agencies, a move that is

174
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: expected to effect thousands and thousands of employees across the

175
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: federal government. Now. The firings initially affected probationary employees, recent

176
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: hires who joined the federal workforce within the last lasts

177
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: one to two years, depending on the agency, which has

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 3: fewer protections for those workers. Now, among the agencies experiencing

179
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: layoffs are the Department of Education, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau,

180
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: the Office of Personnel Management, the Environmental Protection Agency, the

181
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: General Services Administration, and the Small Business Administration. This is

182
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: just the beginning.

183
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Now.

184
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: Of course, the left is freaking out, saying that people

185
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: are going to die if Donald Trump continues this way

186
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: of doing business. They're now using the tragedy of the

187
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: plane crash at Reagan National Airport as their springboard to

188
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: fear monger Americans into believing that Donald Trump should fire

189
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: no one. Take a listen to this from the Oval Office.

190
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: You've offered over two million federal workers the option to

191
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,359
Speaker 5: resign immediately.

192
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: There are fifty thousand FAA employees. Does this tragedy give

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: you reason to reconsider that option of resignations because of

194
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 4: concerns about staffing issues in cret safety.

195
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: If people aren't coming to work, if they're not going

196
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 1: to come into the office and report as for the

197
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: date that.

198
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: You know what it is. Everybody knows what the date is.

199
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: It's been very well documented, then they're going to be terminated.

200
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: You're going to be You're not concerned though, that if

201
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: many people take that.

202
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: Offer, there could be shortages that.

203
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: Could be taking They'll be replaced with very competent people.

204
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: We have a lot of competent people in this country.

205
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: There's one thing you can bet on it is that

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: the media is never going to let a tragedy go

207
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: to waste, including a plane crash, where they're going to

208
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: then try to politicize it to attack President Trump. I

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: love the way that he handled this, saying if people

210
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: aren't going to come to work, then they're going to

211
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: be terminated and they'll be replaced with competent people. Now,

212
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: why is the president doing this right now? Well, the

213
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: Trump Administration's initiative is clear. They say it's to reduce

214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: the federal workforce through mass layoffs and restructuring. Aim to

215
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 3: enhance government efficiency and reduce spending significantly. They say by

216
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: streamlining operations and focusing on essential positions, the administration anticipates

217
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: significant cost savings for tax payers. Deferred Resignation program offers

218
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: employees eight months of pay and benefits upon resignation, providing

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: financial support during their transition. This approach is expected to

220
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: foster a more performance driven workforce, something the government knows

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: nothing about, as well as a culture aligning with the

222
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: administration's goals of modernizing our federal operations. At the end

223
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: of the day, this is also about saving taxpayers a

224
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: significant amount of cash.

225
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Now.

226
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: DOJE also came out this last week giving an update

227

250
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: in the last five days that have all been cut

00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,760
