1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: How need to do with what? What were they talking about? 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Give me the attack on that it is, well, it 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: couldn't have been very effective, because the attack was very effective. 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you that thanks. 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: To President Trump's directive, we are seeking the doubt penalty 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: again and the drug dealers need to get out of 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: here because we're coming after you. 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning Update, 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories 11 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 4: that we're covering this morning. First up, there is an 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 4: accusation of a significant security breach involving senior officials from 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's administration. Well, the Defense Segretary Pete Hedgseth is 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 4: now fighting back claiming that the journalist Jeffree Goldberg, who 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 4: says that he was inadvertently included in a text message group, 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 4: is not telling the truth. I'll have the details on 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 4: that in just a second. Also, Donald Trump is doing 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 4: exactly what he claimed he was going to do, build 19 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 4: businesses in America and bring manufacting back to America. He 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 4: just secured a twenty one billion dollar Hyundai investment and 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 4: he's not done there. I'll give you the details on 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 4: that as well. And finally, you may have noticed that 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 4: the media is all using the same words as Democratic 24 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 4: lawmakers to attack Elon Musk over the last week. We 25 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 4: have a montage on that to show you just how 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 4: corrupt the Democratic leadership is and working with the media. 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: Story number one. 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 4: There is a bombshell report that is out right now 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 4: and the media is absolutely loving every minute of it. 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 4: They're claiming there was a major security breach occurred when 32 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 4: the Trump administration officials accidentally included a journalist by the 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 4: name of Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic in a group 34 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 4: chat where they were discussing secret US military plans to 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 4: strike Hoothy targets and Yemen. The chat took place on 36 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: the encrypted app signal and involved highigh level officials like 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 4: defend Secretary Pete Headseth, the Vice President Jeddie Vance, and 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 4: Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They claim that the league 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: is exposing details like targets, weapons and timing, sparking bipartisan 40 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: quote unquote outrage. There's just one problem with the story. 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: Pete hedgset is saying it's not true. Here is what 42 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 4: he said after landing in Hawaii on an official visit 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 4: when asked by the media about this new accusation. Can 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 4: you share. 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: How your information about war plans against the Houthis and 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: Yemen was shared with a journalist in the Atlantic and 47 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: where those details classified. So I'm you're talking about a 48 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made a 49 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: profession of pedaling hoaxes time and time again, to include 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: the I don't know the hoaxes of Russia, Russia, Russia, 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: or the fine people on both sides hoax or suckers 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: and losers hopes. So this is the guy that pedals 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: in garbage. This is what he does. I would love 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: to comment on the Hoothie campaign because of the skill 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: and courage of our troops. I've monitored very closely from 56 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: the beginning, and you see we've been managing four years 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration. Our troops, our 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: seilers were getting shot at as targets, our ships couldn't 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: sail through, and when they did shoot back, it was 60 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: purely defensively or at shacks and Yemen. President Trump said, 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: no more. We will re establish deterrence, we will open 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: freedom of navigation, and we will ultimately decimate the Houthis, 63 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: which is exactly what we're doing as we speak. From 64 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: the beginning. Overwhelmingly, why post. 65 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: Details shared on signal? And how did you learn that 66 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: a journalists was privy to the targets, the types of 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: weapons used. 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: I've heard it was characterized nobody was texting warps, and 69 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: that's all I have to say about that. 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: One other point of information that you may want to 71 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 4: know about Goldberg is this is the same person who 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: is now claiming to be on these text messages getting 73 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: top secret information who famously wrote a story claiming that 74 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 4: Donald Trump had called American troops who died in World 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: War II suckers and losers, something that also never happened. 76 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: So just remember, when you see stories like this, you 77 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: may want to look at who's writing it and go 78 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: back and read their history of all the stories that 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: they may have gotten wrong in the past. 80 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: Now, story number two. 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 4: One of Donald Trump's big promises to the American worker 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: was that he was going to bring American jobs back 83 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: from overseas. 84 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: Well. 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump is now estimating that four trillion worth 86 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: of companies are moving back to the United States of America. 87 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 4: That's right. During a cabinet meeting, Present said he's very 88 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: excited to let the American people know what all is 89 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: happening when it comes to bringing companies back to the US. Specifically, 90 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 4: many of them are coming back for one reason, because 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: of the tariffs that he's been putting in overseas. Take 92 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: a list in the present in his own words, had 93 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 4: a very. 94 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Very good cabinet meeting. We're on our way to some 95 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: tremendous numbers. I think, first of all, many companies are 96 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: now moving into the United States. They're coming back. Some 97 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: of them left us from many years ago, decades ago, 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: and they're all seams. They're all coming back. We have 99 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: probably identified maybe four trillion dollars worth of companies moving 100 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: back or going to move back. Many of them have 101 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: announced it's going to be tremendous jobs, high paying jobs too. 102 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: And you probably know the chip business, not because of 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: the chipsack, which was a disaster. You gave billions of 104 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: dollars to companies that already have many billions of dollars 105 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: that just they said, thank you very much. It was 106 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: no incentive for them to use it. But what is 107 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: good is the tariffs will make it so that they 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: want to come back. That's why they're coming back. I 109 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: think they're coming back because of the election that took 110 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: place on November fifth, and because of the fact that 111 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: they have to come back because the tariffs are forcing 112 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: them to come back. And remember there are no tariffs 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: if you build here, and that's a big factor. So 114 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: we have record numbers. How it was just telling me 115 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: the numbers that we're talking about are crazy, beyond anybody's 116 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: wildest expectation. So they'll be doing a lot of building 117 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: all sorts of businesses, including the basics of automobiles we have, 118 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: as you know, Indiana's Honda's coming in with a massive 119 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: plant Indiana. But there are many plants that are happening, 120 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and literally summer started already. General Motors is already redoing 121 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: plants that were half abandoned or they have plants that 122 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: weren't being fully utilized. They're going to be. They and 123 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: others are going to be making parts and other things 124 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: in those plants so that it's once up shopping. Finally, 125 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous you had to go to Mexico. You had 126 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: to go to Canada. A car went all over the place. 127 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: It was like, I don't know how that would have worked, 128 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: but that's the way it sort of ended up. We 129 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: had a deal, and we have a deal. It's fine, 130 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: but people took advantage of the deal. They cheated, and 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: when you cheat, the deals are unfortunate. But now what's 132 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: happening is the numbers are beyond our wildest expectations. 133 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: Beyond our wildest expectations. Now this is coming on top 134 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 4: of the fact that President Donald Trump's terror policies have 135 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: also secured a major investment from the Korean automaker Hondi. 136 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: At least five point eight billion. We'll be invested in 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: a new steel plant in Louisiana, the announcement coming today, 138 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: and this endeavor is part of a broader commitment by 139 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: the South Korean automaker, which plans a channel twenty one 140 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: billion in various US projects over the next few years. Now, 141 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 4: this new plant is forecast to produce two point seven 142 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: million metric tons of steel annually in America. It will 143 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: also provide over one thousand, four hundred high paying jobs, 144 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: bolstering local employment. This according to President Trump, saying the 145 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: facility marks Hondai's inaugural steel production venture on US soil 146 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: and will support its automotive manufacturing operations not only in Alabama, 147 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: but also in Georgia. So yet again the President United 148 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 4: States of America making it very clear he is setting 149 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: up for American workers and securing jobs for them by 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 4: bringing overseas businesses back to the United States of America. 151 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: And finally, story number three, I want to take. 152 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: A moment and talk to you about Elon Musk. The 153 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 4: corporate media, spontaneously over the past couple weeks has come 154 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 4: up with the same exact talking points to undermine and 155 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 4: attack Elon Musk over and over again. The media seems 156 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: to be saying the same exact thing in a very 157 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 4: clear coordinated attempt to undermine and to hope that Elon 158 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 4: Musk will somehow get fired from his job with DOGE 159 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 4: or quit. The media has tried to put a wedge 160 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: between Elon Musk and the President on countless occasions now 161 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: trying to get them into some sort of spat. They've 162 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: also tried to say that Elon Musk is actually bigger 163 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 4: than Donald Trump, trying to play into the ego game. 164 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 4: So that Donald Trump will kick him out of the 165 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: Oval office or maybe take him out of his administration altogether. 166 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 4: None of it has worked. In fact, I actually think 167 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 4: that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are laughing at the 168 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: fact that this is what they're trying to do. So 169 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: now we've seen orchestrated attacks, clearly orchestrated attacks against Tesla, 170 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 4: Tesla owners, car dealerships, the threat that if you buy 171 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 4: a Tesla, your car is going to be burned or 172 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 4: certainly damaged, that people are going to surround your car 173 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: and hit you or attack you because you own a Tesla. 174 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 4: We witness that over the weekend in New York City. 175 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: We've seen dealerships that have been firebombed. We've seen dealerships 176 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 4: that have literally been shot up. I thought Democrats were 177 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 4: against guns, but apparently not now if it means shooting 178 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,479 Speaker 4: at a Tesla. So just how coordinated is the media 179 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 4: and trying to destroy Elon Musk because of what he's 180 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 4: doing to destroy our government, to get rid of the waste, fraud, abuse, 181 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: the corruption of the Democratic Party, to undo all of that. Well, 182 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 4: it looks like now they're going into full court press 183 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 4: where they're colluding with one another. Doing everything they can 184 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: to get rid of Elon Musk. If you don't believe me, 185 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 4: take a listen. 186 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: Elon Musk's so called Department of Government Efficiency. It's taking 187 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: a chainsaw to the federal workforce. Elon Musk continues his 188 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: chainsaw attack in Washington. 189 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: So taking a chainsaw, if you will, to the federal government. 190 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 3: That's, you know, imputating a lot of lot. They slashed 191 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: and hacked with the chainsaw. 192 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: The slashing and the burning the chainsaw. 193 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: Elon Musk with that chainsaw, I mean he's walking around 194 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: acting like he's ahead of dough. He's, you know, brandishing 195 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: the chainsaw. Nine months pregnant with Elon Musk chainsaw marauding 196 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: with a chainsaw. 197 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: And wait a second, Buster, put your chainsaw away. 198 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: They cannot attack federal agencies with a chainsaw. 199 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: He's doing it in a way with a chainsaw that 200 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: alienates people. Right man, right hand, chainsaw man. 201 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: But it has a chainsaw. 202 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: That's chainsaw stuff. 203 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: Who used the chainsaw? 204 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 4: Elon Musk is an unelected man child running around the 205 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: country with a pretend chainsaw. That is your media, that 206 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: is your Democratic Party, that is them colluding together in 207 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 4: a quote spontaneous moment that happened time and time and 208 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 4: time and time again, all because they don't know how 209 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 4: to stop Dough or Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
