1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, come in is the Ben Ferguson Show. It is

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: nice to have you with us.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: I was planning on being on family vacation and just

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: taking some time off for the next week, but with

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: so many things happening in the world, we're deciding we're

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: not going to be doing that. So what we're going

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: to be doing instead is I'm going to be doing

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: a hybrid with this show and the forty seven Morning Update.

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: It's that show that I do every morning that's about

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: ten to twelve minutes long, three biggest stories of the

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: day coming out of the White House or that affect

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: the White House. So for the next few days, that

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: is what you're going to be hearing here, and I

14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 2: just want to make sure that you knew that on

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: the front end. But first I got to ask you

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: a question. Are you one of those that is just

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: so tired of giving your money to radical, left woke

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: companies that actually are fighting against your values every day?

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, there are certain bills that you pay.

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Every month that if you can go with a conservative company,

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: why not do it? In fact, why not go with

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: a conservative company actually takes part of your bill every

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: month that you're going to pay to some and they

24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: give it back to organizations that support your First and

25
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of unborn children,

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: that stand with our military, are first responders and so

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: talking about is your cell phone bill. And I've been

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile, but

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,520

00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Than right now.

Speaker 2: has been giving big donations to democratic causes, democratic candidates,

39
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations that actually

Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson, with you, and these are some of the

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: stories that you may have missed that we talked about

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: in a shocking move, a major TV network is now

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: helping warn individuals where ice agents are so that they

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: can get away from being held accountable for breaking our laws.

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Who's doing it? We'll expose that coming up as well. Also,

74
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: what made it into the bill that is now headed

75
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: back to the House from the Senate. I break it

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: all down for you, and I'll have all those details

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: for you about exactly what made it in this bill

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: in just a moment. And finally, we also now know

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: that the present saying it's time for the FED chair

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: Jerome Powell to be gone to resign, and he's got

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: two or three choices to replace the FED chairman, which

82
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: could save Americans literally trillions of dollars in interest. I'll

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: give you those details in a moment. It's the forty

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

85
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: Story number one.

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: The media yet again putting ice agents lives at risk,

87
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: this time CNN featuring a segment on ice block. It

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: is an app that lets users anonymously crowd source ice

89
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: agents sidings across the app and send alerts to others

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: within a five mile radius.

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: Now, the app's creator framed.

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: As a quote harmless early warning system to help people

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: avoid ICE, not to incite violence against the agents. Ice

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: block enforces constraints, they claim as well, one post every

95
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: five minutes, auto deletion after four hours, and explicitly recommends

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: users not interfer with officers. That's their get out of

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: jail free card.

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: Apparently.

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: The White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt accusing CNN of

100
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: encouraging violence by publicizing the app, especially amid a reported

101
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: five hundred percent surge in assaults on ICE agents nationwide.

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: The acting ICE Director called CNN's coverage quote reckless and irresponsible,

103
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: warning that it paints a target on federal law enforcement officers.

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: Backs and Tom Homan, the former ICE director, and the

105
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: current borders are branded the app is simply disgusting, and

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: urge the DOJ to investigate CNN's role in all of this.

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: I want you to hear more of what Tom Homan

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: had to say on Fox News Channel about this.

109
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 5: Well, this next story is outrageous. A new iPhone app

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: is a learning people about ICE sightings in their area.

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 5: As if that's not bad enough, CNN it appears to

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: be promoting the app, talking to the creator, and doing

113
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: a whole story on it that is not sitting well

114
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: with My next guest borders our time home and joins me. Now, Tom,

115
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: they've crossed the line here. This is out of control.

116
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 6: I know. It's just simply disgusting, and any network that

117
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 6: covers that is disgusting as well. So I'm hoping the

118
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: DOJ steps in here and see if they cross that line.

119
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 6: I'm impeding federal lawenforcement ofshers. Look, Lawrence, you're not talking

120
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 6: about this aasult again. SIS is up over five percent.

121
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 6: Now you've got an app that's going to tell where

122
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: ICE operators are going to be. It's only a matter

123
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 6: of time fore ICE ages are ambushed by some nut

124
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 6: like we're happening in LA throwing them out the top, cocktail,

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 6: throwing bricks, and these officers is just this is just

126
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 6: disgusting at every level. So I hope DOJ dives in

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 6: this deeply, because you know ICE is constrant on public

128
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 6: safety threats and national security threads. This shouldn't be a

129
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 6: partisan issue. There shouldn't be an issue anybody's is against.

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 6: So they're already a dangerous job going after the worst

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 6: the worst. These guys are putting their lives on the

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 6: line every day going after the worst and worst internationalecurity threats,

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 6: and this app makes it that much more dangerous. It's

134
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: incredible that those who enforced law, all of a sudden,

135
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: they're the bad guys you wanted to break the law.

136
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 6: They're victims. It's disgusting.

137
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: Why was seeing INN promote this? Why would they do

138
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: a story on this?

139
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 6: I can't figure it out. I've been look, I've been

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 6: doing this for four decades. I've never seen anything like

141
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 6: this in my life. You know, it's got to be

142
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 6: they hate Trump more than love law enforcement or I

143
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 6: can't figure it out, but something needs to be done.

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 6: I mean, you advertise this guy's app on a national

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 6: TV network, that's just going to bring more followers, sick

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: followers to the app and use it again, letting the

147
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 6: bad guy no Ice is coming. They're here, here's where

148
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 6: they're going next. This is dangerous for the men and

149
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: women law enforcement.

150
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: So true, Tom, I want to.

151
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Get Tom Homan clearly slamming CNN for promoting the Ice

152
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: tracking app and now is saying maybe it's time for

153
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: law enforcement, the DOJ to step in here and see

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: if they cross the line, impeding federal law enforcement officers.

155
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Yet again, another exampample of how the Left is doing

156
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: everything they can to protect I legal immigrants and put

157
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: American lives at risk.

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: Next story number two.

159
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Now you may be asking yourself what is actually in

160
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: this bill that has left the Senate.

161
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: Let me give you that list, because it's an important one.

162
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: Number one, this bill delivers the largest tax cut in

163
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: history of the United States of America for middle and

164
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: working class Americans. Bigger paychecks of ten thousand dollars more

165
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: in annual take home pay for families as well. A

166
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: massive campaign idea is now reality. No tax on tips,

167
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: which will expand middle class America like we've never seen before.

168
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: We also are going to reward people that work hard

169
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: with no tax on overtime, incentivizing people to work more

170
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 3: to get ahead, and something that should have happened a

171
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: long time ago. No tax on Social Security, giving more

172
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: security to seniors, especially when cost of living has skyrocketed.

173
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: We also have no tax on made and America auto loans.

174
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: Let me say that again, no tax on made in

175
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: America auto loans, which will help prop up American made

176
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 3: automobiles and incentivize Americans to look at America first. It

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: will also help with massive amounts of manufacturing jobs, keeping

178
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: Americans working in manufacturing. It also protects two million family

179
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: farms from punitive double taxation, something that's been a huge

180
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: problem in this country. Permanent increases to the child tax credit.

181
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: Let me say that again, permanent increases to the child

182
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: tax credit, supporting over forty million American families. Also, a

183
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: vote against this bill is a vote for the largest

184
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: tax increase in history, something that Republicans did a very

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: good job of selling to the American people. It also,

186
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: in this bill rescinded billions in green news scam funding,

187
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: which DOGE and the Trump administration had exposed in the

188
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: last several months. It restores fiscal sanity, slashing deficits by

189
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: roughly two trillion dollars. Yes, there are many in the

190
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: House that want more than that, and we'll have to

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: see what happens moving forward. We also know that this

192
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: bill eliminated waste, fraud, and abuse from the bloated federal

193
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: programs that we have now been exposing through DOGE and

194
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: permanently securing our southern and northern borders, something the President

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: said needed to be in this bill. We also know

196
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: that this bill deports at least one million illegal aliens

197
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: a year. Yes, that is also in the bill, and

198
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: it makes the largest investment in border security in an

199
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: entire generation, providing nearly one hundred and fifty billion to

200
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: secure our border and also to deport illegal aliens, which

201
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: the American people voted for. The bill also includes finishing

202
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: Phase two of the border wall, something Donald Trump campaigned

203
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 3: on back all the way in twenty sixteen, and it

204
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: shifts the cost of adjudication in the immigration system from

205
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: the American taxpayer to the illegal aliens. We also know

206
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: that we're hiring it because of this bill, hiring ten

207
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: thousand new ice agents, more than five thousand customs officers,

208
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: and more than three thousand new border patrol agents, yet

209
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: again sending a message to the cartels and terrorists that

210
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: you don't want to try to sneak in to the

211
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: United States of America or ship your drugs into this country,

212
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: because we're coming for you. There's also funds for the

213
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: Golden Dome missile defense system to confront the twenty first

214
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: century threats, something the President and the DoD talked about

215
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: extensively with the American people. We know that we need

216
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: to put America first when it comes to our national security,

217
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: and that's exactly why the funds were included in this

218
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: bill for the Golden Dome Missile Defense System. We also

219
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: know the bill delivers the largest coast guard upgrade since

220
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: World War Two. Why are we doing that?

221
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Because that's where the fetinyl is coming into this country

222
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: and the criminal cartels are clearly exploiting our open seats.

223
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: Now we will have the largest coastguard upgrade that we've

224
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: had since World War Two, something that needed to happen

225
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: decades ago. Finally, the bill modernized our military to ensure

226
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: it has the resources to be ready and encourages a

227
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: lethal fighting force. After four years of weeks by the

228
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: Biden administration, we've fallen behind China, but ninety longer. It

229
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: also ends Biden's war on American energy and drives down

230
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: energy costs, something that was important in this bill to

231
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: make sure that we as a nation are in fact

232
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: energy independent, something that the prior administration did everything they

233
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: could to make sure that we were weak as a nation.

234
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: And it also unleashes domestic oil, domestic gas, as well

235
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: as nuclear power, restoring what made America great all along

236
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: the ability to function without relying on Middle Eastern countries

237
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: or anyone else that's producing oil around the world, including

238
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: places like Russia. So if you want to know what's

239
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: in this America first, this big, this beautiful bill, well

240
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: here's what's in it. Now it moves back to the

241
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: House and hopefully it will be moving within days to

242
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: the press desk.

243
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 4: And here is story number three.

244
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: We also know this.

245
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: The President is also moving on to other major issues.

246
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: For example, Donald Trump is calling for the FED chair

247
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Powell to quit quote immediately. Trump is ramping up the

248
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: pressure on Powell, urging lower interest rates against the Federal

249
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: Reserve Chair's continued opposition the president making it clear that

250
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: it's time for him to quote resign. In a True

251
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: Social post on Wednesday in the late afternoon, Trump said

252
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: too late, should resign immediately. He also linked to a

253
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: Bloomberg story headline that says FED chair should be investigated

254
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: by Congress. The FHSA head is now saying Powell was

255
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: nominated by Trump to lead the FED during the first administration.

256
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, who succeeded Trump as President, nominated him for

257
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: a second term. His tenure as the FED chair is

258
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: set to end May of twenty twenty six, and Trump

259
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: is ramping up pressure, saying I don't want to wait

260
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: on Jerome Powell's tenure to end, issuing a call for

261
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: lower interest rates against the Federal Reserve Chair and continued

262
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: opposition and calling out the failure of the Fed's monetary policy.

263
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: For instance, earlier this week, Donald Trump posted this, Jerome

264
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: too late. Powell and his entire board should be ashamed

265
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: of themselves for allowing this to happen in the United

266
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: States of America. They have one of the easiest yet

267
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: most prestigious jobs in America, and they've failed, and they

268
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: continue to do so, saying this, If they were doing

269
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: their job properly, our country would be saving trillions of

270
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: dollars in interest costs. The board just sits there and watches,

271
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: so they are equally to blame. We should be paying

272
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: one percent or better now. The post preceded trump SONI

273
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: a letter to Powell urging him to lower interest rates,

274
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told reporters on Monday.

275
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: Pallis stated that the Fed's decision to hold off on

276
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: dropping your interest rates owes much to concern about the

277
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: possible impacts of quote tariffs on inflation that coming from

278
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: CBS News Now reports say he's waiting to see how

279
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: the Trump tearor policy quote plays out and what it

280
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: ultimately does to the US economy before making interest rate adjustments.

281
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: Powell has specifically said he wants to see longer term impacts,

282
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: if any, on consumer pricing. So I tell you that

283
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: story to just make it very clear there could be

284
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: some big changes coming very soon. But it also tells

285
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: you about the confidence that the President has that by

286
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: the time many of you hear this, he will already

287
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: have the biggest tax c that we've seen in our

288
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: lifetime and turning it into a reality. So what does

289
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: that mean moving forward, Well, it means we could see

290
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: some pretty big changes here. The President even moving forward

291
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: to say there are quote two or three choices to

292
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: replace the FED chairman and saying on Tuesday, yes, I'm

293
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: ready to go. When asked to board Air Force one

294
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: whether he has a top choice to succeed your own Powell,

295
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: Trump said exactly this, I have two or three top choices.

296
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: He declined to give any further information, yet again showing

297
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: how much Donald Trump's ready to move on. We also

298
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: know that The Wall Street Journal reported last week that

299
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: Trump is considering the former FED Governor Kevin Walsh and

300
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as replacements. Also, Treasury

301
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Secretary of Scott Descent is also being pitched as a

302
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: potential candidate. That according to Wall Street Journal, which also

303
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: listed former World Bank President and FED Governor Christopher Waller

304
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: as potential nominees. Now courting the Wall Street Journal, Trump

305
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: is toyed with the idea of selecting and announcing a

306
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: replacement as early as September or October. However, the CENT

307
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: told Bloomberg TV on Monday that the Trump administration is

308
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: considering using the next expected Federal Reserve Border governor's vacancy

309
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: in early twenty twenty six to appoint a successor.

310
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: Now.

311
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has

312
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: criticized Powell, as well as other FED governors for declining

313
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: not to lower interest rates, which are currently in the

314
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: four point twenty five to four point five to zero range.

315
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: FED chairs have long seen as insulated from presidential dismissal

316
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: for reasons other than malfeasan's or misconduct that Trumps threatened

317
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: to test the legal premise with frequent threats to fire

318
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: Jerome Powell now Supreme Court ruling in May. By the way,

319
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: he's concerns that Trump could fire Powell, as the Justice

320
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: called the Fed quote a uniquely structured quasi private entity.

321
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: So that leaves us at this point where the president's

322
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: clearly saying he believes Jerown Powell on this board are

323
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: the wrong people for the job, and he wants to

324
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: move as quickly as possible to move the country in

325
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: the right direction. He also has made it clear that

326
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: lower interest rates save you countless dollars in interests, something

327
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: that's good he believes for the economy. So if you

328
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: want to know what's happening right now at the White House,

329
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear the present's getting ready for a very

330
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: big Fourth of July celebration, and it's one that is

331
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: going to give you a huge advantage in your pocket book.

332
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: And he's not done there.

333
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: He's also now looking to lower interest rates for you

334
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: as well. And that is exactly what the America First

335
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 2: Agenda that Donald Trump promised you looks like as we

336
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: go into the fourth of July.
