You write 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: an executive order, and you think it's done, you send 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: it out, it doesn't get done, it doesn't get implemented. 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: They don't implement it. Maybe they're from the last administration. Well, Gary, 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: mine's a televance. 7 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: It's more money's in the telebent. 8 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 9 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 4: Good Wednesday morning, Ben Ferguson, here, it's nice to have 10 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 4: you with us on the forty seven Morning Update, and 11 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 4: here are the big stories we're going to be talking 12 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 4: about today.

Was this done on purpose 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 4: to hide where your tax dollars are going? I'll explain 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 4: that as well. And finally, the CIA is going after 20 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 4: cartels in Mexico using reaper drones, the same ones we 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 4: use in Iraq and Afghanistan to spy on the cartels. 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 4: Story number one another day and Donald Trump and his 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 4: team at DOGE are finding more of your tax dollars 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 4: that are going to, for example, dead people. DOGE is 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 4: investigating potential social security fraud. Millions are receiving checks right 27 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 4: now that are aged over one hundred and thirty years old. 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 4: This is the most shocking part of all is It's 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 4: been happening for decades and no one stopped it. Elon 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 4: Musk putting out a tweet saying, according to Social Security Database, 31 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 4: these are the numbers of people in each age bucket 32 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 4: with a death field set to false. Maybe twilight is 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 4: real and there are a lot of vampires collecting social Security. 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: You want to know how many people on his list 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: are over the age of one hundred, Well one hundred 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: to one hundred and nine. There are four point seven 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 4: million apparently eligible for Social Security.

Yes, 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: there's a three hundred and sixty one year old person 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 4: on the list. From the age of two hundred to 53 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty nine, there are more than two 54 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 4: thousand people apparently that are still alive at the age 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: of two hundred and twenty to two hundred and twenty nine. Now, 56 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 4: let's just let you digest that for a moment as 57 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 4: I moved to the other big part of the day, 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 4: which was Elon Musk and Donald Trump sitting down with 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 4: Sean Hannity to talk about all the fraud they're finding. 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: And here is part of what they said, including your 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: tax dollars going directly to the Taliban. 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 5: Average America makes sixty six thousand dollars a year. Yeah, okay, 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 5: we have thirty seven trillion dollars in national debt. Now, 64 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 5: all the money I'm about to mention and what we're 65 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 5: going to scroll on our screen, and all of this 66 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 5: is going to foreign countries. It is not being spent 67 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 5: here in America for better schools, law and order. I 68 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 5: think the average text being American should be mad as 69 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 5: hell because their text money is being. 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: I'm early spent. 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 5: All right, let me go to the second question. 72 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: First. I want to know. 73 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 5: Because people like JOHNI Earnst AND's tried for a long 74 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 5: time and she's actually got a lot of good data. 75 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: Center US has been really helpful. 76 00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 5: Actually okay, but they they they actually high what the 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 5: real purpose of the spending is. In other words, they 78 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: and this is a question, how did you decipher it? 79 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: Will say humanitarian blah blah blah in Serbia or Afghanistan. 80 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 5: We even give them money to China for crying out loud, 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: which I think is nuts. 82 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, the Taliban, what money to the Taliban? 83 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 6: Like a lot? 84 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 2: I mean, just listen to that statement from Elon Musk. 85 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: We gave money to the Taliban, and then Elon Musk 86 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: raises his eyebrows and says, like a lot. Can you 87 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: imagine being in these meetings and this is what you 88 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: are finding now. Donald Trump was asked about Elon Musk 89 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: and hey, can Americans have confidence in what he's doing? 90 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: Is the Democrats and the media are trying to turn 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: him into the worst person in the world. 92 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: Trump said this about Elon. 93 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in 94 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: terms of the country, a very important aspect, because I mean, 95 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't talking about he's actually a very good businessman. 96 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: And when he talks about the executive orders, and this 97 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: is probably true for all precedents. When you write an 98 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: executive order and you think it's done, you send it out, 99 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't get done, it doesn't get implemented, they don't 100 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: implement it. Maybe they're from the last administration, and they 101 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: are in some cases. You try and get them out 102 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: as fast as you can. And he would take that 103 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: executive order that I'd sign and he would have those 104 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: people go to whatever agency it was. When are you 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: doing it? Get it done? Get it done. And some 106 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: guy that maybe didn't want to do it, all of 107 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: a sudden he's signing it. 108 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: Just doesn't want you want to talk about a dream team. 109 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 4: It is very clear that these two men, they genuinely 110 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: love working together every day, they love saving money for Americans. 111 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: And now they're even talking about giving you a Doge rebate. 112 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: That's right, giving your taxes back to you based on 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: what they can cut. Elon Musk believes there's about a 114 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: trillion dollars and government waste. Wouldn't it be nice to 115 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: get a check from Doge. It's something they are working on, 116 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 4: and there's a very good chance it may be coming 117 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,559 Speaker 4: to your mailbox in the not too distant future. Next 118 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 4: story number two, Imagine finding four point seven trillion dollars 119 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 4: of treasury payments that are purposely made almost impossible to trace. 120 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: That is exactly what your federal government has now been 121 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 4: caught doing. The Treasury Department had sent out more than 122 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: four point seven trillion dollars of payments without an identification 123 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 4: code that links a Treasury payment to a budget line 124 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: item that comes from Congress. Doge announcing this today, making 125 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 4: these payments, they said, almost impossible to trace, and clearly 126 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: the government wanted to do this so you would never 127 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 4: be able to ask questions. 128 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: Doade said. The identification payment. 129 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: Code called TAS for Treasury Access Symbol is now being 130 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: required as of the weekend when they found the problem. 131 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 4: Why because they want to increase the oversight into where 132 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: your money actually ends up. The Department of Government Efficiency 133 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 4: tweeting this out. The Treasury Access Symbol TASK is an 134 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line 135 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: item standard financial process in the federal government. The task 136 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: field was optional for four point seven trillion in payments 137 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 4: and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: of Saturday, this is now being required, increasing the insight 139 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: into where your money is actually going. A big thank 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: you the US Treasury for the great work that again 141 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 4: coming from the Department of Government Efficiency. Fox News also 142 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: reported on the importance of the TAS payment code as well, 143 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: saying quote according to the Bureau of Fiscal Service, which 144 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: is under the Treasury, task codes are used to describe 145 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 4: any one of the account identification codes assigned by the Treasury, 146 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: and is also referred to as the quote unquote account. 147 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 4: All financial transactions made by the federal government are classified 148 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: by these symbols. When reporting the Treasury, and importantly the 149 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 4: Office of Management and Budget. You may know it is 150 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: O now the discovery was announced on the same day. Also, 151 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: the DOGE appeared to have populated the savings page, which 152 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: as of Monday evening said the total estimated savings since 153 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 4: the establishment of the department has already totaled about fifty 154 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 4: five billion dollars. 155 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: Quote. 156 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,119 Speaker 4: Major improvement and Treasury Payment Integrity is going live. Elon 157 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: Musk posted on x this is a combined effort of DOGE, 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 4: the US Treasury, and the Federal Reserve. 159 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Nice work by all. 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: Now, the absence of the code was discovered during a 161 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 4: DOGE audit of the Treasury Department to find wasteful spending, 162 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: fraud and abuse. Democrats guess what. They came out in 163 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: full opposition to the audit of the Department of Treasury. 164 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 4: The audit, they said on the ground should never have 165 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: been allowed to happen. Why because they said that DOGE, 166 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: a department within the federal government, should not have access 167 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: to taxpayers sensitive data. Even attorney generals on the left 168 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: are now coming out in force. Fourteen states have already 169 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: sued to block dogs from accessing the data, alleging executive overreach. Now, 170 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: the Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent said this in a statement. 171 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: Quote, this is not some roving ban. 172 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: This is being done methodically and is going to yield 173 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: big savings for the American taxpayer. If there's anything I 174 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 4: can agree on, it is that Donald Trump and Doge 175 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: and Elon Musk are not stopping to find you all 176 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: of your wasted tax dollars. And here is story number three. 177 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: It's a sad reality. Mexico is an essence a failed state. 178 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 4: It is being controlled and run by the cartels. They 179 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: choose the leaders, and the leaders do what the cartels say. Well, 180 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 4: there's two very interesting reports that are dealing with Mexico 181 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: now and our safety from drugs and also human trafficking. Fetanol, 182 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: as you know, is one of the biggest killers in 183 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 4: this country. Where we now have confirmation that the CIA 184 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: is flying surveillance drones over the cartels in Mexico. Multiple 185 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 4: outlets are now reporting the CIA is stepping up their 186 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 4: drone flights. The currently unarmed flights are said to be 187 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 4: searching for fetnyl labs that are run by the Mexican cartels, 188 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 4: designated by President Donald Trump as foreign terrorist organizations. One 189 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 4: US officials saying to The New York Times that the 190 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 4: flights will go well into sovereign Mexico quote unquote. Now, 191 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 4: the flights reportedly began during the Biden administration but were 192 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 4: never really used to stop the flow of the drugs. 193 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: Then they were stepped up by the new CIA Director 194 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 4: John Radcliffe after President Trump made the foreign terrorist designation. 195 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 4: The flights are not authorized. We're being told at this 196 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 4: point to use lethal force. However, CIA officers are gathering 197 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 4: the intelligence data and they're passing it along to those 198 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 4: that may need to see it. 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: Now. 200 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: Tom Hollman was asked about Mexico in general in an 201 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: interview that he did earlier. I want you to hear 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 4: what he had to say about the country. 203 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 6: Let me ask you a question. It's against the law 204 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 6: in Mexico to traffic children, but they don't do anything 205 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 6: about it. It's against the law in Mexico to transit 206 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 6: through the country, but they don't do anything about it. 207 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 6: Is the Mexican government, in your opinion anti American? 208 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 7: Look, I agree with you. They don't enforce and they 209 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 7: allow illgo analystm all the world to transit Mexico without 210 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 7: a transit visa, which is against the law. By thinking 211 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 7: President Trump has them where he wants them. They've now 212 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 7: put military on their northern border in our southern border, 213 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 7: they are now participating and beginning to participating and remain 214 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 7: in Mexico. President Trump is demanded they take action, and 215 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 7: we're monitoringum. President Trump, you know, he's the game changer. 216 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 7: We've been in office less than a month and I 217 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 7: notice in the last twenty four hours total Southwest border 218 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 7: apprehensions two hundred and twenty nine. Now, I started the 219 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 7: border troil in nineteen eighty four. I've never seen those numbers, 220 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 7: at least I don't remember seeing those numbers. We went 221 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 7: from eleven thousand day under Biden to two hundred and 222 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 7: twenty nine. President Trump's already got Mexico where he wants him, 223 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 7: and he's going to force more on them in their future. 224 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 6: Just quickly, Tom, because I'm up against a break. But 225 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 6: I got to ask you, the cartels are very powerful. 226 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 6: Is the US military use of the US military on 227 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 6: the table to hit cartel targets in Mexico. 228 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 7: That's something we're working on now. By I can tell 229 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 7: you that President Trung's made if Mexican cartels will put 230 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 7: a death right against borbit relagients or a military if 231 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 7: they harm a Borba in the military. President Trump will 232 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 7: wipe them off the face of the earth. 233 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: There it is working on. 234 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 4: Striking cartels in Mexico is a real possibility now. President 235 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: Trump declared those cartels foreign terrorist organizations on his first 236 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 4: day in office, and now borders are home and is 237 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 4: saying they're active discussions about US military strikes on terrorist 238 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 4: targets in Mexico. This is we're being told that the 239 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: Reaper drones are already working on full time surveillance. Quote 240 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: from CNN, the CIA is flying the mq DASH nine 241 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: Reaper drones. The drones are equipped to deliver lethal payloads, 242 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 4: but are not currently armed. The mq DASH nine drones 243 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: used for the mission are not armed, but they can 244 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: be equipped with payloads to carry out precision strikes. The 245 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 4: US regularly uses them to target suspect Terris and Syria, 246 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 4: Iraq and Somalia. Well, go back to the very first 247 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 4: statement that I said earlier. Donald Trump has already said 248 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: that these cartels are in fact foreign terrorists organization. 249 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 250 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
