1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: This President will stand up for Americans of all religions,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: of all faiths, of all creeds, and we will continue

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: to look at policy measures and actions that we can

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: take in addition to the actions that have already been

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: taken to curb this antisemitic violence into Jewish Americans at

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: home across the country. This President has you back.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning. It's so nice to have you on

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update. And here are two very

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: big stories that we have for you this morning. First up,

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: Republicans are saying it's time for accountability when it comes

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: to taking advantage of government programs, including food stamps and

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: also medical health care. Why is it the Democrats are

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: now attacking Republicans after they used to be in favor

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: of this type of accountability. And how many lazy people

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: are taking all of our tax dollars. Well, we're going

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: to break that down for you in just a moment.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: And also in a shocking story, Chinese national so now

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 3: been charged with smuggling agro terrorism weapons into the US

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: and doing research at American universities. It could cost us

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: billions of dollars and as threat to all of our agriculture.

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: I have the details of what the Trump administration is

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: doing to stop it in just a second. It's the

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: Story number one.

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: When Donald Trump ran for president, he promised the American

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: people accountability, especially with waste, fraud and abuse. We know

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,279
Speaker 3: what has been uncovered just through DOGE, but there's also

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: another type of accountability the President talked about, and that

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: is making sure that people aren't taking advantage of American

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: government programs because they're just being lazy. A great example

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: of this is the issue of work requirements for food stamps.

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Republican lawmakers, back by former President Donald Trump, are now

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: advancing legislation to impose stricter work requirements on federal assistant

35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: programs that also include Medicaid and SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Assistance program also known as food stamps. The initiative is

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, a comprehensive tax

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: and spending reform package that passed the House on May

39
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: the twenty second. The bill aims to offset four point

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: five trillion in tax cuts by reducing federal spending, including

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: significant cuts to medicaid fraud and snap fraud. Also allowing

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: for work requirements so that you can't just be lazy

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: taking advantage of the American taxpayer. Now, Republicans have been

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: very clear about this. They have argued that these work

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: requirements promote self sufficiency and reduce fraud. House Speaker Mike

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: Johnson has emphasized that the changes are designed to ensure

47
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: that able bodied American adults without dependence contribute to the workforce.

48
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: A study by the American Enterprise Institute found that non

49
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: disabled Medicaid recipients without children spend on average four point

50
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: two hours daily watching TV or playing video games, supporting

51
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: the GOP's stance on encouraging employment among this group. Now,

52
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: there's some hypocrisy that I'm going to expose for you

53
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: right now when it comes to the left, and I'm

54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: going to play for you a montage of Democrats once

55
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: championing the welfare work requirements that they now are claiming

56
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: are quote abusive. Now, if you'll make sure that you

57
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: share this podcast wherever you can on social media and

58
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: also subscribe the shows, you don't miss any of this

59
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: information When I put it out, now would be the

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: time to do it now, Democrats are strongly opposing now

61
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five the work requirements they're arguing that

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: they quote would disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including caregivers, individuals

63
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: with intermediate employment, and those with health issues not classified

64
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: as disabilities.

65
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: Now.

66
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: Former President Barack Obama even criticized the bills, sitting it

67
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: could strip healthcare coverage, he claimed from millions of Americans,

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: including seven point six million losing Medicaid and three point

69
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: one million losing marketplace insurance. Critics are also saying that

70
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: similar work requirements in states like Arkansas and Georgia have

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: led to significant coverage losses without substantial gains and employment. Well, so,

72
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: why is it now that Democrats are obsessed with helping

73
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: people commit fraud and also just being lazy, Especially when

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: you go back and listen to what they've said in

75
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: the past, It's pretty simple. They're trying to buy votes

76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: now of people they believe are willing to vote for

77
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: them as long as they don't make them work and

78
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: take care of themselves or act like adults. So let

79
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 3: me just remind the Democrats of their hypocrisy. Here's the

80
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: mond tize that we put together to remind them of

81
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: their own words. Even Bill Clinton got in on the action.

82
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: Nearly thirty years ago, Robert Kennedy said, work is the

83
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 5: meaning of what this country is all about. We needed

84
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 5: as individuals, we need to sense it in our fellow citizens,

85
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: and we need it as a society and as a people.

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: He was right then, and it's right now. From now on,

87
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: our nation's answer to this great social challenge will no

88
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 5: longer be an ever ending cycle of welfare. It will

89
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 5: be the dignity, the power, and the ethic of work.

90
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 5: Today we are taking an historic chance to make welfare

91
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: what it was meant to be, a second chance, not

92
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: a way of life. This bill will help people to

93
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 5: go to work, so they can stop drawing a welfare

94
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 5: check and start drawing a paycheck. It is now clearly

95
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: better to go to work than to stay on welfare,

96
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: clearly better because of actions taken by the Congress in

97
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: this session. It is clearly better to end the terrible,

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: almost physical isolation of huge numbers of poor people in

99
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 5: their children from the rest of mainstream America.

100
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 6: We have to do that.

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: Today.

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 5: We are ending welfare as we know it, But I

103
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: hope this day will be remembered not for what it ended,

104
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 5: but for what it began. A new day that offers hope,

105
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 5: honors responsibility, rewards work, and changes the terms of the debate.

106
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 7: For too many. Welfare has been a way of life

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 7: for too long. It has condemned too many on welfare

108
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 7: to a lifetime at the margins of our society. Today

109
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 7: we start to change all that.

110
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 6: Anyone who wants to receive welfare must sign an individual

111
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 6: responsibility contract so that they're forced to agree upfront to

112
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: the conditions placed on receiving the benefit, and so that

113
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 6: they will have a plan from day one on how

114
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 6: to get themselves off of welfare. Put them to work

115
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 6: and make them want to go to work, and make

116
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 6: it reasonable for them.

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 8: To go to work.

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 6: Be mandatory work requirement for anyone receiving welfare.

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 9: They actually have charged and run ads saying that President

120
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 9: Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare

121
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 9: reform bill that moved millions of people from welfare to work.

122
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 9: Oh wait, the requirement was for more work, not less.

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 9: I am telling you the claim that President Obama weaken

124
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 9: welfare reforms work requirement is just not true.

125
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Best anti poverty program as a job which confers not

126
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: just income, but structure and dignity and a sense of

127
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: connection to community.

128
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: Total and utter hypocrisy from the left. Now, as the

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: bill moves to the Senate, it faces resistance from both

130
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: Democrat and Republican holdouts who are concerned about the potential

131
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: impact on their constituents, and they also claim the national debt.

132
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: The reality is, this plan spearheaded by Donald Trump is

133
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: one that's long overdue and one that virtually every major

134
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: leader in the Democratic Party in the past has supported.

135
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: So why are they not supporting it now? Solely because

136
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: they're trying to buy votes and allow people to take

137
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: advantage of you, the taxpayer.

138
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: Now. Story number two.

139
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: Is it's a story that you may only have heard

140
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: about if you lived in Detroit and we're watching the

141
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: local news. Chinese nationals now charge was smuggling agro terrorism

142
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: weapon into the United States of America. The question you

143
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: should be asking yourself is this, why would the Chinese

144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: do this?

145
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 8: And the second.

146
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: Question you should be asking yourself is why is the

147
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: media not warning you about what just happened. Now, these

148
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: two Chinese nationals have been charged with conspiracy, fraud, and

149
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: smuggling a deadly biopathogen into the United States of America,

150
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: And as I said a moment ago, if you weren't

151
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: in Detroit, you probably didn't know that this threat to

152
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: our entire nation even happen. How did the Detroit Channel

153
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: seven News cover it, Well, here's what they had to

154
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: say about the pathogen coming through their airport.

155
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 10: Now to two Chinese nationals with ties to the University

156
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 10: of Michigan facing federal charges, accused of smuggling a dangerous

157
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 10: biological agent through Detroit Metro Airport.

158
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 11: Thirty three year old Yin qing gn and her boyfriend

159
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 11: Xi Yung Lu are charged with conspiracy, smuggling, making false

160
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 11: statements to investigators, and visa fraud.

161
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 10: Here's why this COUDE had been such a big deal.

162
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 10: Federal prosecutors calling the pathogen a potential agro terrorism weapon

163
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 10: that could be used for targeting crops like wheat, barley, corn,

164
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 10: and rice.

165
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 11: Seven News Detroit reporter Frozjavid was in federal court and

166
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 11: has more.

167
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: On Tuesday, thirty three year old un Chingjion made her

168
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: initial appearance at the federal courthouse in downtown Detroit. Right

169
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: behind me in front of Magistrate Judge Kimberly Altman Jian,

170
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: a postdoc research fellow at the University of Michigan from China,

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: has been charged with smuggling a biological pathogen that has

172
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: been described as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that is

173
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: kind of scary.

174
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: You kind of just don't understand why something like this

175
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: would happen.

176
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 8: U of M students Camilla Webb and ton Vi Deega

177
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 8: are trying to wrap their heads around how it all happened.

178
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 8: This twenty five page federal complaint outlines how the alleged

179
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 8: crime transpired at Detroit Metro Airport. On July twenty seventh,

180
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four, US Customs and Border Protection officers detained

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 8: Jeon's thirty four year old boyfriend, Lunyong Leo, also a

182
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 8: Chinese national, for carrying Fusarium gramminarium of plant based pathogen.

183
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 8: The complaint describes this fungus as capable of producing microtoxins

184
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 8: that adversely affects crops, humans, and animals, causing billions of

185
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 8: dollars in economic losses globally each year. During the investigation,

186
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 8: Leo initially denied possessing the pathogen, but later admitted to

187
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 8: bringing it into the country for research at the University

188
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 8: of Michigan, where Jeon worked in the lab.

189
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of shocking that our resources are being used

190
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: for something like this.

191
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 8: A joint investigation by the FBI and CBP reviewed electronic

192
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 8: communications between Leo and Jeon. Evidence showed discussions on shipping

193
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 8: biological materials and research activities at the lab prior to

194
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 8: Leo's arrival. Additionally, electronic records indicate Genas involvement in previous

195
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 8: smuggling activities.

196
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have never expected something like that to

197
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: happen at our school.

198
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 8: Investigators also found evidence linking Jion to the Chinese Communist

199
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 8: Party and receiving funding for her postdoctoral work from a

200
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 8: foundation largely supported by the Chinese government.

201
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: Now, Gion is being held in federal custody until Thursday,

202
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: June fifth. That's when Magistrate Judge Altman will decide on

203
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: Jion's detention or bond at the next hearing. Meanwhile, Gion's boyfriend, Leo,

204
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: was denied entry into the US and was sent back.

205
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 8: To China on the day of the incident.

206
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: From downtown, I'm Pada's job seven US Detroit.

207
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: Why is it that you're not hearing about this nationwide.

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: Why is it that a story this big, that could

209
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: have this big of an impact on our lives in

210
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: America is just being covered up by the mainstream media.

211
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: Thank goodness. The FBI director Cash Pttel put out a

212
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: lengthy statement bringing all this information to the public's saying

213
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: quote new I can confirm that the FBI arrested a

214
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: Chinese national within the United States who allegedly smuggled a

215
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: dangerous biological pathogen into the country. The individual is alleged

216
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: to have smuggled a dangerous fungus, which is a agro

217
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: terrorism agent, into the US to research at the University

218
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: of Michigan, where she works. This fungus can cause a

219
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: disease called head light, a disease of wheat, barley, and rice,

220
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: causing significant health issues in both humans and livestock. It

221
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide

222
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: each year. Evidence also indicates Jelina had expressed loyal to

223
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from the

224
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: Chinese government for similar work on the pathogen in China.

225
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: Now the FBI director also talks about her boyfriend, also

226
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: charged the complaint, working at a Chinese university where he

227
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: conducts research on the same pathogen. They also say that

228
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: he lied and then admitted that he also smuggled this

229
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: pathogen into America through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport so that

230
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: he could also conduct research at the University of Michigan. Now,

231
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: both these individuals have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods

232
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: in the United States, false statements, and also visa fraud. Now,

233
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: then the FBI director says, this this case is a

234
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: sobering reminder. Chinese Communist Party is working around the clock

235
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and

236
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: target our food supply, which would have grave consequences, putting

237
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: American lives and also our economy at serious risk. Your

238
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: FBI will continue working tirelessly to be on guard against it.

239
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: This is exactly why the American people voted for Donald Trump,

240
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: because he was going to put people in charge like

241
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: Caspittel to tell you what's actually happening. Now, it's sad

242
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: that only people into de Troit know the whole story

243
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: as we played for you, and I hope you'll take

244
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: it and share it everywhere you can.
