1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: As CMS administrator, Doctor US will work carelessly to strengthen 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: and protect Medicare for our nation seniors and Medicaid for 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: the needy. 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: Just as I promised, there will be no cuts. 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have any cuts. 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna have only help. You're listening to the forty 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning to you. Ben Ferguson with you, and 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: these are some of the stories that you may have 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: missed that we talked about this week on the forty 11 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: seven Morning Update. First up, President Trump promised he was 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: going to bring great jobs back to America. Well, America 13 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: is winning, as the video is announcing that they're investing 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: five hundred billion to build AI chips and supercomputers in 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: Texas with high paying jobs. Up next, a memo now 16 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: is revealing US plans to send migrants who are linked 17 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: to organized crime to Guantanamo Bay. And finally, EPA Chief 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: Lee Zelden is now leading the largest deregulation action in 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: the history of this country. How much money is going 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: to save you? Billions and billions, And I'll have that 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: story for you as well. It's the forty seven Morning 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: Update and it starts right now. 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: Story number one. One of the. 24 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Major promises from Donald Trump was we are going to 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: bring jobs back to America with manufacturing, and We're going 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: to bring back jobs for things that we need that 27 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: are very important to this country, including on the issue 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: of national security. Well, if you want to know if 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: his tariffs are working and if Americans are starting to 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: win big time, just look at the big headline on Navidia. 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: They have announced they're going to invest not one hundred, 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: not two hundred, not three hundred, not four hundred, but 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars to build AI chips and supercomputers 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: in Texas. NA video announcing their plan to build the 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: AI supercomputer in Texas and invest up to that five 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: hundred billion in AI production within the United States of America. 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: As yourself this question, why is this happening now? It 38 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent because of one thing, because of 39 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the tariffs that Donald Trump has been putting on nations 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: overseas that are taking advantage of America. This is also 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: very much about national security. Barons is now reporting that 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: AI Powerhouse Video has commissioned quickly over a million square 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas to build 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: and test its Blackwell chips and AI supercomputers. This marks 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: the first time that navidia will be producing its cutting 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: edge AI technology entirely within the United States of America. 47 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Navidia's Blackwell chips have already started production at TSMC's chip 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: plant in Phoenix, Arizona. Meanwhile, the company is constructing supercomputer 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: manufacturing plants in partnership with fox Con in Houston, Texas 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: and in Dallas. Mass production at these facilities to ramp up, 51 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: they say, within the next twelve to fifteen months. 52 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: Now. 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: The manufacturing of Navidia's AI chips and supercomputers in America 54 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: and their AI factories, they say, is projected to generate 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of jobs. Let me say that again. 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: This project they expect to generate hundreds of thousands of 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security in 58 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: the decades ahead. The Navidia founder and CEO stated that, quote, 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: the engines of the world's AI infrastructure are now going 60 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: to be built in the United States for the first time. 61 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and 62 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, Strengthening our supply 63 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: chain and boost our resiliency is a company now, the 64 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: AI chip and supercomputer supply chain is highly complex. It 65 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: requires the most advanced manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and testing technologies 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: to support this endeavor. Navidia is collaborating, they say, with 67 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: multiple other companies for packaging and testing operations in Arizona, 68 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: bringing in countless jobs. They say. Over the next four years, 69 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Navidia plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: worth of AI infrastructure in the United States through its 71 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: partnership with multiple companies they are also bringing in to 72 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: help in America. They say. These industry leading companies are 73 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: deepening their ties with the most powerful company in the 74 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: AI space, expanding their global footprint while strengthening supply chain 75 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: resilience as well. Now, while all of this is happening, 76 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: China is trying to retaliate wherever they can. And if 77 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: you think it's just America that China is at a 78 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: trade war with, you're wrong. Chinese, We're now being told 79 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: are going after London. That's right. China is being accused 80 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: of attempting to sabotage UK's final primary Still mill as 81 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: London and acts emergency nationalization. Accusations of sabotage have swirled 82 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: over the fate of Britain's final primary still plant, Yet 83 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: Beijing warns London against quote turning economic and trade cooperation 84 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: into political and security issues. Simply put, China is now 85 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: threatening any other country that doesn't do what they say, 86 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: and this time it's Britain they're going after. It's another 87 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: reminder of why Donald Trump said it's time for us 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: to decouple from China and the power that they're holding 89 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: over US and other industrialized nations, just like the UK. 90 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: And this is. 91 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: Exactly why Donald Trump is leading on the issue. And 92 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: yes it is not only about giving Americans great jobs, 93 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: but also the issue of national security so that we're 94 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: never in the position that the UK is in right now. 95 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: Next story number two. 96 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: It is a major story that no one seems to 97 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: be covering, and our good friends over at the National 98 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Polls are the first to expose this big news. A 99 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: new memo shows the Trump administration's wide reaching authority to 100 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay is going to be expanding 101 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: beyond only the worst offenders quote unquote. This development is 102 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: part of Trump's broader policy to crack down on illegal immigration. 103 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: Now what I'm about to tell you, I hope you'll 104 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: share with everyone you know, and I hope you will 105 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: share this podcast on social media. Also make sure you 106 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: have that subscribe or auto download button, because these are 107 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: the stories you're not going to get anywhere else now. 108 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: This agreement was signed in early March by top officials 109 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. 110 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: It sets criteria for detaining migrants based not on criminal history, 111 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: but rather a nexus to transnational criminal organizations or criminal 112 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: drug activity. Officials have defined this connection broadly, which could 113 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: include paying a criminal group for smuggling services into the 114 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: United States of America. That would be a game changer now. 115 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: The guidelines also allow for detaining migrants with final deportation 116 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: orders who have interacted in any way with organized crime, 117 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: including direct or indirect interactions. The Department of Defense confirmed 118 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: the memo. The DoD has highlighted its roll in clarifying 119 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: operational roles at Guantanamo Bay between the Department of Homeland 120 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Security and the DoD. Teresa Cardinal Brown, a former US 121 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: immigration official, stated that many illegals could have some form 122 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: of interaction with a crime syndicate. This is due to 123 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: the territorial control established by the cartels in Mexico. Now, 124 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the Trump administration officials are defending the strategy as vital 125 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: to quote national security. The White House Stepy Chief of 126 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Staff Stephen Miller set operations at Guantanamo for detaining migrants 127 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: will proceed without changes. Currently forty two individuals are detained 128 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: at the base. This story we expect to change, and 129 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: I promise you we will cover it here for you 130 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: every step of the way. 131 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: And here is story number three saving you money. 132 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: It is a promise that Donald Trump said he was 133 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: going to make good on when it came to government waste, 134 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. We know what DOJE has been doing, 135 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: but we now have found out other ways that the 136 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: President is helping make Americans more money. And this is 137 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: coming from the EPA administrator Lee Zelden. He said in 138 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: an interview that he is quote shocked by how much 139 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: money we are able to save with quote the largest 140 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: deregulatory action ever slashing quote trillions of dollars in deregulation. 141 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: The Environmental PARTEIK Action Agency chief. Zelden spoke during a 142 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: roundtable with Breitbart News editor in chief about what all 143 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: is happening and the agency's efforts to slash government waste, fraud, 144 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: and abuse. The EPA administrator, a former congressman, has now 145 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: moved to cancel over twenty two billion in contracts as 146 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: part of President Donald Trump's initiative to eliminate diversity, equity 147 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: and Inclusion policies known as DEI. He also has said 148 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: that they are canceling environmental justice grants and canceling other 149 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: government spending that is basically just straight up waste and fraud. 150 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: Zelden emphasized the degree to which the administration has been 151 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: able to make significant savings by cutting Zelden said the 152 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: agency's annual operating budget is ten billion dollars, while they 153 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: have been able to cut twenty two billion in grants alone. Yes, 154 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: twenty two billion in grants now, the leader of the 155 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: agency said, quote, one month ago, we announced that it 156 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: amounts to the largest deregulatory action in the history of 157 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America. One agency will do more 158 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: deregulation in twenty twenty five than entire federal government wide 159 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: deregulatory efforts ever of any administration. He went on to say, 160 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: we're going to have trillions of dollars of deregulation just 161 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: in the EPA, just in twenty twenty five. We're going 162 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: to do all this while creating jobs, including in the 163 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: auto sector. We're going to make it easier to buy 164 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: a home, make it easier to be able to heat 165 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: your home.
