1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: I was a disaster. This man was a disaster. I 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: don't sleep much. You don't sleep much. A lot of 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: people that love what they're doing don't sleep much, I find. 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: And so far it's been okay. 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you, Ben Ferguson with you, And 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 3: these are some of the stories that you may have 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 3: missed that we talked about this week on the forty 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. First up, attempted murder. Fifteen plus conservatives 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 3: have been targeted by swatting attacks in a one week period. Also, 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 3: Donald Trump moves to get rid of well major debt 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: issues in this country with the introduction of golden visas, 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 3: and he explains exactly how to work. And finally, Donald 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: Trump spent quite a few hours from last week to 15 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: this week going after terroris all over the Middle East. 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: So what all did he accomplish. We'll explain that as well. 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: Story number one. 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: If there's anything that's become clear in the last two 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: months is that the left has become completely unhinged. Now 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: you can add attempted murder, plus fifteen conservatives have been 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 3: targeted by swatting attacks in a single week. A series 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: of swatting incidents targeting conservative commentators and journalists have transpired 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 3: nearly every evening since March the eleventh. This according to 25 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: the victims, who are sharing video, surveillance footage and photos 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: of the events, sparking questions as to who is engaging 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 3: in what Representative Andy Ogles described as domestic terrorism and 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: attempted murder. The FBI Director Cashpattel, and the Attorney General 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Christyinome have also 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: reacted to the wave of dangerous crimes. In terms, swatting 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: refers to an anonymous attacker targeting someone for making a 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: false call to emergency services, using anonymous tools like Google 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: Voice or VPNs to make it appear the call is 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: coming from a certain location and telling authorities a murder 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: or hostage of is transpiring at a particular address. Swatting 36 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 3: is designed to prompt swat teams to arrive at the 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: targeted home and descend on the unsuspecting victims, which in 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 3: the past have led to deadly encounters and murder charges 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: for the offender. At the time of this story breaking, 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: there has been at least fifteen figures already in conservative 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: politics and media that have reported being swatted within the 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: course of the last week. The string of swatting ensigns 43 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: seemingly began on the evening of March eleven, with info 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: Wars reporter revealing in an early morning ex post that 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: six to eight police officers used a pacism to call 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: me by name and order me to walk out of 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: my house. I was handcuffed in the middle of the street, 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: presumably at gunpoint, though I couldn't tell because the lights 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: being shined in my face. I was in led into 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: the house where my wife was woken up, and we 51 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 3: were informed that they received a call from someone pretending 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: to be me threatening to kill my family. Then after 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: that many others receive the exact same treatment. Another reporter 54 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: was swatted not once, but twice in a single day, 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: and many other journalists are now saying it's very clear 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: they were all targeted in a coordinated attack. The federal 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 3: government now saying very clearly they are going to hunt 58 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 3: down those who are making these calls and putting conservative 59 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: commentators lives at risk. 60 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: Now. Story number two. 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 3: One of the core issues the President of the United 62 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: States of America said he believes is his job now 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: is to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse, and to 64 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: deal with our out of control federal deficit, which is 65 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: in the trillions of dollars. Donald Trump is also looking 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: at ways to bring more money into the country and 67 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: one way he says we can do it is by 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: having a five million dollar payment to our government for 69 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: a golden visa. He believes that this is a major 70 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: opportunity for America to pay down our debt. Now. He 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: was talking with Laura Ingram on Fox News Channel about 72 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: these visas, and this is what he wanted the American 73 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: people to know. 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: The Golden visa, which you also you're obviously backing, probably 75 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: is going to have to go through Congress. We'll see 76 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 4: if they actually do that. But five million dollar investment 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: from a foreigner coming into the United States, Why should 78 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: our citizenship be purchased for any amount of money, especially 79 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 4: given the fact that you're America first, Given the types 80 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: of people who have five million dollars to throw down 81 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: for a visa or for a permanent residency. 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: That's why, because I'm America first, Because at five million dollars. 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: You're getting a lot of things, but you're getting five 84 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: million dollars. Let's say we sell a million of them. 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: That's five trillion dollars. We are now a unbelievably successful 86 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: country paying down tremendous amounts of debt. It's all going 87 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: to pay down debt. We're going a very little debt. 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: Separate. 89 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: But if you did think of it, if you did 90 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: five million dollars. Now, generally people that can pay five 91 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: million dollars are going to be job producers. Okay, they're 92 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: going to be successful. They're going to produce jobs. But 93 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: here's another thing. Apple comes to me. A lot of 94 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: companies come to me. They say, sir, we just made 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: a deal to hire the number one student at the 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: Wharton School of Finance, or at Harvard Business School or 97 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: anything else, or MIT or Stanford or anything. But they're 98 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: going to throw them out of the country the day 99 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: after graduation. They'll buy these. 100 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 4: Why should any American kid become a company? 101 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, they're going to call it either 102 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: the gold card. The problem is is mini gold cards. Well, 103 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: I will tell you what my people want to call it. 104 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: It'll drive you crazy, it'll drive the left crazy. They 105 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: want to call it the Trump card because the Trump 106 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: card sells much better than the Gold card. 107 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: Everybody has a you're not worried about any unsavory people 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 4: coming in and. 109 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: Take I'm worried about unsavory which case we're going to 110 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: given the money back. 111 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 4: And they get out they'll be properly vetted. 112 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: Or they're going to be properly vetted. But you know, 113 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: you're talking about a lot of people. I think it's 114 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: going to be very successful. If somebody's wrong, we get 115 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: we actually very nice because it makes it a lot 116 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: easier legally. We give them that money back and we 117 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: send them. 118 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: Out one thanks for sure. The President United States of 119 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: America is looking for new ways to bring actual cash 120 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: into the United States of America from people overseas. In 121 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: other words, he's looking at them as customers instead of 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: all the money coming from the American taxpayer. As for 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: the program and the fear mongering, many in the media 124 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: are doing this. They're saying, what if an unsavory person 125 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: comes in, you just heard the President make it very clear, 126 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: we'll kick him out. Maybe we'll get him a refund, 127 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: and we'll move on. 128 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: And here is story Number three. 129 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: One of Donald Trump's promises from the campaign trail was 130 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: to go after terrorists all over the world peace through strength, 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: to making sure that we strike first on those they're 132 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: trying to do harm to Americans, our soldiers, and American 133 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: interests around the world. Well over the past week, Donald 134 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: Trump has in intensified his counter terrorism efforts, both domestically 135 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: and internationally. Here is a quick summary of just some 136 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: of the things that the present has done. Airstrikes have 137 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: been ordered. Starting on March fifteenth, President Trump authorized large 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: scale air strikes targeting I ran back Hoothi rebels in 139 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: Yemen's capital. This action was in response to the Houthis 140 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: threat to US shipping assets in the Red Sea. The 141 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: offensive aims to protect American interest and ensure navigational freedom 142 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: in the region. Donald Trump, putting it this way in 143 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: his own words on True Social Today, I ordered the 144 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: United States military to launch decisive and powerful military action 145 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: against the Houthy terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an 146 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and 147 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: other ships, aircraft, and drones. Joe Biden's response was pathetically 148 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going It has been 149 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: over a year since a US flag commercial ship safely 150 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the 151 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: Gulf of Aden. The last American warship to go through 152 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the 153 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: terrorist group over a dozen times funded by Iran. The 154 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: Houthy thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft and targeted 155 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: our troops and allies. These relentless assaults have cost the 156 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 3: US and the world economy many billions of dollars, while 157 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: at the same time putting innocent lives at risk. The 158 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 3: Hoothy attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We 159 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 3: will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. 160 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 3: The Houthis have choked off shipping and one of the 161 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 3: most important waterways of the world, grinding vast swaths of 162 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: globe commerce to a halt and attacking the core principle 163 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: of freedom and navigation upon which international trade and commerce depends. 164 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: Our brave warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks 165 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: on the terrace basis. They're leaders and missile defenses to 166 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: protect American shipping, air and naval assets and to restore 167 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: navigational freedom. No terrorists force will stop American commercial and 168 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: naval vessels from freely sailing the waterways of the world. 169 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 3: To all the houthy terrorists, your time is up and 170 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: your attacks must stop starting today.
