1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: But I never want to hurt our farmers. Our farmers

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: are great people.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: They keep us happy and healthy. In fact, you're listening

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you, Ben Ferguson with you, and

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 3: these are some of the stories that you may have

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: missed that we talked about this week on the forty

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. First up, in a shocking move, a

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: major TV network is now helping warn individuals where ICE

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: agents are so that they can get away from being

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: held accountable for breaking our laws. Who's doing it? We'll

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: expose that coming up as well. Also, what made it

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: into the bill that is now headed back to the

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: House from the Senate. I break it all down for

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: you and I'll have all those details for you about

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: exactly what made it in this bill in just a moment.

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: And finally, we also now know that the President saying

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: it's time for the FED chair Jerome Powell to be

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: gone to resign, and he's got two or three choices

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: to replace the FED chairman, which could save Americans literally

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: trillions of dollars in interests. I'll give you those details

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: in a moment. It's the forty seven morning update and

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: it starts right now.

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Story number one.

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: The media yet again putting ICE agents lives at risk,

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: this time CNN featuring a segment on ice Block. It

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: is an app that lets users anonymously crowd source ICE

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: agents sidings across a mapp and send alerts to others

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: within a five mile radius. Now, the app's creator framed

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: as a quote harmless early warning system to help people

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: avoid ICE, not to incite violence against the agents. Ice

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Block enforces constraints, they claim as well, one post every

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: five minutes, auto deletion after four hours, and explicitly recommends

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: users not interfere with officers. That's their get out a

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: jail free card. Apparently. The White House Press Secretary Caroline

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: Levitt accusing CNN of encouraging violence by publicizing the app,

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: especially amid a reported five hundred percent surge in assaults

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: on ICE agents nationwide. The acting ICE Director called CNN's

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: coverage quote reckless and irresponsible, warning that it paints a

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: target on federal law enforcement officers. Backs and Tom Homan,

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: the former ICE Director, and the current borders are branded

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: the app is simply disgusting, and urge the DOJ to

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: investigate CNN's role in all of this. I want you

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: to hear more of what Tom Holman had to say

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: on Fox News Channel about this.

46
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Well, this next story is outrageous. A new iPhone app

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: is a learning people about ice sightings in their area.

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: As if that's not bad enough, CNN it appears to

49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: be promoting the app, talking to the creator and doing

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: a whole story on him that is not sitting well

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: with my name borders our time home and joins me. Now, Tom,

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: they've crossed the line here. This is out of control.

53
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: I know. It's just simply disgusting, and any network that

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: covers that is disgusting as well. So I'm hoping DOJ

55
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: steps in here and see if they cross side line

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: and I'm impeding federal law enforcement ofshiers. Look, Lawrence, you're

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: not talking about this pasult again. SIS is up over

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: five percent. Now you've got an app that's going to

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: tell where ice operators are going to be. It's only

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 4: a matter of time where ice ages are ambushed by

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: some nut like we're happening in LA throwing them out

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: top cocktail, throwing bricks, and these officers, this is just

63
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 4: this is just disgusting at every level. So I hope

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: DOJ dives in this deeply because you know, Ice is

65
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: constant on public safety threats and national security threads. This

66
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: shouldn't be a partisan issue. There shouldn't be an issue

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: anybody's is against. So they're already a dangerous jibe going

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: after the worst and worst. These guys are putting their

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: lives on the line every day, going after the worst

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: and worst internationalecurity threat, and this app makes it that

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: much more dangerous. It's it's incredible that those who force law,

72
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, they're the bad guys you wanted

73
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: to break the law. They're victims. It's disgusting. Why was

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: seeing INN promote this? Why would they do a story

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: on this? I can't figure it out. I've look I've

76
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: been doing this for four decades. I've never seen anything

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: like this in my life. You know, it's got to

78
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 4: be they hate Trump more than love law enforcement or

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: I can't figure it out, but something needs to be done.

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you advertise this guy's app on a national

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: TV network, This is going to bring more followers, sick

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: followers to the app and use it again, letting the

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: bad guy no Ice is coming. They're here. Here's where

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: they're going next. This is dangerous for the men and

85
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: women law enforcement.

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: So true, Tom, I want to.

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: Get Tom Homan clearly slamming CNN for promoting the ice

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: tracking app and now is saying maybe it's time for

89
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: law enforcement, the DOJ to step in here and see

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: if they cross the line impeding federal law enforcement officers

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: yet again, another example of how the Left is doing

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: everything they can to protect to legal immigrants and put

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: American lives at risk.

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: Next story number two.

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: Now you may be asking yourself what is actually in

96
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: this bill that has left the Senate. Let me give

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: you that list because it's an important one. Number one,

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: this bill delivers the largest tax cut in history of

99
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: the United States of America for middle and working class Americans.

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: Bigger paychecks of ten thousand dollars more in annual take

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: home pay for families as well, a massive campaign idea

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: is now reality. No tax on tips, which will expand

103
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: middle class America like we've never seen before. We also

104
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: are going to reward people that work hard with no

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: tax on overtime, incentivizing people to work more to get ahead,

106
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: and something that should have happened a long time ago.

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: No tax on social Security, giving more security to seniors,

108
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: especially when cost of living has skyrocketed. We also have

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: no tax on made and America auto loans. Let me

110
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: say that again, no tax on made in America auto loans,

111
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: which will help prop up American made automobiles and incentivize

112
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: Americans to look at America first. It will also help

113
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: with massive amounts of manufacturing jobs, keeping Americans working in manufacturing.

114
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: It also protects two million family farms from punitive double taxation,

115
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: something that's been a huge problem in this country. Permanent

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: increases to the child tax credit. Let me say that again,

117
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: permanent increases to the child tax credit, supporting over forty

118
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: million American families. Also, a vote against this bill is

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: a vote for the largest tax increase in history, something

120
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: that Republicans did a very good job of selling to

121
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: the American people. It also, in this bill rescinded billions

122
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: in green news scam funding, which Doge and the Trump

123
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: administration had exposed in the last several months. It restores

124
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: fiscal sanity, slashing deficits by roughly two trillion dollars. Yes,

125
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: there are many in the House that want more than that,

126
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: and we'll have to see what happens moving forward. We

127
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: also know that this bill eliminated waste, fraud, and abuse

128
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: from the bloated federal programs that we have now been

129
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: exposing through DOGE and permanently securing our southern and northern borders,

130
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: something the President said needed to be in this bill.

131
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: We also know that this bill deports at least one

132
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: million illegal aliens a year. Yes, that is also in

133
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: the bill, and it makes the largest investment in border

134
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: security in an entire generation, providing nearly one hundred and

135
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: fifty billion to secure our border and also to deport

136
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: illegal aliens, which the American people voted for. The bill

137
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: also includes finishing Phase two of the border wall, something

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: Donald Trump campaigned on back all the way in twenty sixteen,

139
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: and it shifts the cost of adjudication in the immigration

140
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: system from the American taxpayer to the illegal aliens. We

141
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: also know that we're hiring it because of this bill,

142
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: hiring ten thousand new ice agents, more than five thousand

143
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: customs officers, and more than three thousand new border patrol agents,

144
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: yet again sending a message to the cartels and terrorists

145
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: that you don't want to try to sneak in to

146
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: the United States of America or ship your drugs into

147
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: this country, because we're coming for you. There's also funds

148
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: for the goal Golden Dome Missile Defense System to confront

149
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: the twenty first century threats, something the President and the

150
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: DoD talked about extensively with the American people. We know

151
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: that we need to put America first when it comes

152
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: to our national security, and that's exactly why the funds

153
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: were included in this bill for the Golden Dome Missile

154
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: Defense System. We also know the bill delivers the largest

155
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: coast guard upgrade since World War Two. Why are we

156
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: doing that? Because that's where the fetinyl is coming into

157
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: this country and the criminal cartels are clearly exploiting our

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: open seas. Now we will have the largest coastguard upgrade

159
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: that we've had since World War Two, something that needed

160
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: to happen decades ago. Finally, the bill modernized our military

161
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: to ensure it has the resources to be ready and

162
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: encourages a lethal fighting force after four years of weakness

163
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: by the Biden administration. We follow behind China, but ninety longer.

164
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: It also ends Biden's war on American energy and drives

165
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: down energy costs, something that was important in this bill

166
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: to make sure that we as a nation are in

167
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: fact energy independent, something that the prior administration did everything

168
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: they could to make sure that we were weak as

169
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: a nation. And it also unleashes domestic oil, domestic gas,

170
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: as well as nuclear power, restoring what made America great

171
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 3: all along, the ability to function without relying on Middle

172
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Eastern countries or anyone else that's producing oil around the world,

173
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: including places like Russia. So if you want to know

174
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: what's in this America first, this big, this beautiful bill,

175
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: well here's what's in it. Now it moves back to

176
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: the House and hopefully it will be moving within days

177
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 3: to the President's desk.

178
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: And here is story number three.

179
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: We also know this. The President is also moving on

180
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: to other major issues. For example, Donald Trump is calling

181
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: for the Fed Chair Powell to quit quote immediately. Trump

182
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: is ramping up the pressure on Powell, urging lower interest

183
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: rates against the Federal Reserve Chair's continued opposition the president

184
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: making it clear that it's time for him to quote resign.

185
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: In a true Social post on Wednesday in the late afternoon,

186
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Trump said too late, should resign immediately. He also linked

187
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: to a Bloomberg story headline that says FED chair should

188
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: be investigated by Congress. The FHSA head is now saying

189
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: Powell was nominated by Trump to lead the FED during

190
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: the first administration. Joe Biden, who succeeded Trump as President,

191
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: nominated him for a second term. His tenure as the

192
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: FED chair is set to end of twenty twenty six,

193
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 3: and Trump is ramping up pressure, saying I don't want

194
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: to wait on Jerome Powell's tenure to end, issuing a

195
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: call for lower interest rates against the Federal Reserve Chair

196
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: and continued opposition and calling out the failure of the

197
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: Fed's monetary policy. For instance, earlier this week, Donald Trump

198
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: posted this, Jerome too late. Powell and his entire board

199
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen

200
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: in the United States of America. They have one of

201
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: the easiest yet most prestigious jobs in America, and they've failed,

202
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: and they continue to do so, saying this, If they

203
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: were doing their job properly, our country would be saving

204
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: trillions of dollars in interest costs. The board just sits

205
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: there and watches, so they are equally to blame. We

206
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: should be paying one percent interest or better now The

207
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: post preceded Trump's letter to Powell urging him to lower

208
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: interest rates. The White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told

209
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: reporters on Monday. Pallis stated that the Fed's decision to

210
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: hold off on dropping your interest rates owes much to

211
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: concern about the possible impacts of quote tariffs on inflation

212
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: that coming from CBS News Now reports say he's waiting

213
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: to see how the Trump tearor policy quote plays out

214
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: and what it ultimately does to the US economy before

215
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: making interest rate adjustments. Powell has specifically said he wants

216
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: to see longer term impacts, if any, on consumer pricing.

217
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: So I tell you that story to just make it

218
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: very clear there could be some big changes coming very soon.

219
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: But it also tells you about the confidence that the

220
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: President has that by the time many of you hear this,

221
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: he will already have the biggest tax cut that we've

222
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: seen in our lifetime and turn it into a reality.

223
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: So what does that mean moving forward, Well, it means

224
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: we could see some pretty big changes here. The President

225
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: even moving forward to say there are quote two or

226
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: three choices to replace the FED chairman and saying on Tuesday, yes,

227
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. When asked to board Air Force

228
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: one whether he has a top choice to succeed your

229
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: own Powell, Trump said exactly this, I have two or

230
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: three top choices. He declined to give any further information,

231
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: yet again showing how much Donald Trump's ready to move on.

232
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: We also know that The Wall Street Journal reported last

233
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: week that Trump is considering the former FED Governor Kevin

234
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: Walsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as replacements. Also,

235
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary of Scott descent is also being pitched as

236
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: a potential candidate that according to The Wall Street Journal, which

237
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: also listed former World Bank President and FED Governor Christopher

238
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: Waller as potential nominees. Now courting the Wall Street Journal,

239
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: Trump is toyed with the idea of selecting and announcing

240
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: a replacement as early as September or October. However, the

241
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: sent told Bloomberg TV on Monday that the Trump administration

242
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: is considering using the next expected Federal Reserve Border governor's

243
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: vacancy in early twenty twenty six to appoint a successor.

244
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: Now since returned to the White House in January, Trump

245
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: has criticized Powell, as well as other Fed governors for

246
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: declining not to lower interest rates, which are currently in

247
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: the four point twenty five to four point five zero range.

248
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: FED chairs have long seen as insulated from presidential dismissal

249
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: for reasons other than malfeasan's or misconduct. That Trump is

250
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: threatened to test the legal premise with frequent threats to

251
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: fire Jerome Powell now Supreme Court ruling in May by

252
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: the way, he's concerns that Trump could fire Powell, as

253
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: the Justice called the FED quote a uniquely structured quasi

254
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: private entity. So that leaves us at this point where

255
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: the president's clearly saying he believes Jerome Power on this

256
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: board are the wrong people for the job, and he

257
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: wants to move as quickly as possible to move the

258
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: country in the right direction. He also has made it

259
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: clear that lower interest rates save you countless dollars in interests,

260
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: something that's good he believes for the economy. So if

261
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: you want to know what's happening right now at the

262
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: White House, it's pretty clear the present's getting ready for

263
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: a very big Fourth of July celebration, and it's one

264
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: that is going to give you a huge advantage in

265
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: your pocket book and He's not done there. He's also

266
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: now looking to lower interest rates for you as well,

267
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: and that is exactly what the America First Agenda that

268
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: Donald Trump promised you looks like as we go into

269
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: the fourth of July.
