1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: It could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also because

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: that's the same stuff that's all put out by Democrats.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Some of the naive Republicans fall right into line like

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: they always do. They just don't have the they don't

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: have the sustainability. They don't have There's something they don't

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: have that sticktuitive like glue. The Democrats, you know, they

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: have bad policy, they have bad candidates, they have bad everything,

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: but they stick together and the Republicans don't do that.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: This is a forty seven Morning Update special edition with

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Ben ferguson.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. It is so nice to have you

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: with us on the forty seven Morning Update.

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: And we've got one big story with two big aspects

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 4: to it, Jeffrey Epstein, the Epstein files, and a shocking

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal attack on President Donald Trump. I'm going

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: to break down why the President's now saying he is

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: going to sue the Wall Street Journal. I'm also going

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: to break down what many conservatives like myself want when

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: it comes to government and transparency and why this has

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 4: comes such a big issue out of nowhere in the media.

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: It's for one reason. They want to hurt President Donald Trump.

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: All Right, I want to take a moment talk about

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street,

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: You've seen what's been happening with interest rates, and you've

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals,

Speaker 4: also get transparency. This is why I recommend them. Their

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: matters most with real medals, real service, and real clarity.

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: Now here's why I love what they do at Kurt

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: Elliott Precious Medals number one bullyon only approach. They focus

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: on investment grade medals, not overpriced quote collectibles or gimmick

00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: products that cost you an insane amount of money for

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: what you're actually getting. What they do is they sell

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: you more metal for your money and fair value when

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: it's time for you to actually sell. They also have

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: upfront transparent pricing just eight percent when you buy and

42

Speaker 4: zero commissions when you go to sell. There are no

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: hidden fees on top of that. Ever, that is the

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,280

00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.

58
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: Story number one.

59
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: All right, let's deal comprehensively with the entire epscene scandal,

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: the papers, what should be put out there, and the

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: media obsessing over this story. On top of the fact

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: that the Wall Street Journal has come out with a

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: massive hit piece on Donald Trump. He's now threatening to

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: sue the Wall Street Journal. Now you want to know

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: how crazy this article is. Even Chris Cuomo speaking out

66
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: about the Wall Street Journal's reporting, and I want you

67
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: to listen to what he had to say.

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: But I get that he's pissed off, Okay, and he's

69
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: not wrong. This Wall Street Journal piece is a hack job, okay.

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: And he says he's suing Rupert Murdoch, who he you know,

71
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: is his buddy. They have, you know, Fox kind of

72
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: made Trump, you know, And he's suing the journal, He's

73
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: suing everybody. He says he didn't write the birthday letter

74
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 5: that they're ascribing to him to Epstein for his fiftieth birthday.

75
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so stupid, Okay. The Epstein story is

76
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 5: about abusing kids who didn't have the power or agency

77
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 5: to do anything about it. That rich and powerful people

78
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: may have known it was going on and they got

79
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: away with it. That's the story.

80
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: Okay.

81
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: It's not that Trump liked a scumbag. Okay, Now I

82
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 5: get that. In the media, this is great because it's

83
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 5: bad for Trump and he's going crazy and he's gonna

84
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 5: pump and move the story for the Wall Street Journal

85
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: right now by saying it's fake and it's wrong, but

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 5: it doesn't move the needle in the country. It's gonna

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 5: make you some money, Rupert, great for you, just what

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 5: you need. But this is why we can't get anywhere.

89
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: The guy says, I didn't write the letter. The letter

90
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 5: is meaningless. You put out the piece anyway, and there's

91
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: no light on what really matters. Now.

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: The point that Cuomo, not a conservative, is making there

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: is absolutely right. Politics should not be involved in this.

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 4: This is the reason why so many MAGA conservatives like

95
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: myself have been saying we want total transparency. Why because

96
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: we don't trust the government. Why because they've given us

97
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: reasons to not trust them. We have watched them weaponize

98
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: the government to go after Donald Trump. We've watched them

99
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 4: weaponized the government to sell lies like the Russian collusion story,

100
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: to try to undermine the American people and overthrow the

101
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 4: will of the people. We have witnessed them lie about

102
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: the Hunter Biden laptop. We've witnessed the deep state and

103
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 4: all the leaders are supposed to trust the CIA and

104
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: other intelligence organizations sign a letter saying that the Hunter

105
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: Biden laptop was a lie. We have witnessed them lie

106
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: about the money that was coming into the Biden crime family.

107
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: We now have witnessed the media cover for the president

108
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 4: units it's America, Donald Trump. Let me rephrase that Joe

109
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: Biden with his massive cognitive decline, but they said over

110
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: and over again, it wasn't happening. So this story is

111
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: about transparency, whether there's a list or not. I want

112
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: to see it all with making sure that we protect

113
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: the victim's identities. I want to make sure that I

114
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: don't have to trust the deep state. I believe as

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 4: a citizen, I deserve to know what happened. I also

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: want to know why no one else went to jail.

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: Can we just go over that again? Why is it

118
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: that no one has gone to jail except for one person?

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: That's it, Maxine, all of this abuse. That is why

120
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: concern are angry right now. Now, Notice what the left

121
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 4: is doing. They're going all in on Epstein because they

122
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: think it hurts Donald Trump. They're going in not because

123
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: they want to protect kids, not because they want justice,

124
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: not because they care about whoever abused children being outed

125
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: and exposed and maybe even indicted or arrested. Which again,

126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: only one person's gone to jail. No, no, no, they think

127
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: this now hurts Donald Trump. And again I go back

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: to Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo, a lefty saying this on

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: his show about the left, he believes is also making

130
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: a huge mistake.

131
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 5: Making a mistake going all in on this Epstein bs.

132
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 5: You did nothing to release any information about this case

133
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: on your watch, okay, And you watched a woman go

134
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: down for Epstein's crimes and did nothing to add to

135
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: any sense of accountability for anybody else then, so going

136
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: all in now is obvious and gratuitous and ugly. Okay,

137
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: And look I get the play. This is bad for Trump,

138
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: so we got to be all in there. You need

139
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: to give the majority reason to believe that you would

140
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: be better, not that just he is worse. Do you

141
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: understand that's the key, Not MAGA sucks, okay, Not that

142
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: they lied to you MAGA, So vote for us because

143
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 5: MAGA was formed in part out of desperation for feeling

144
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: that you on the left lie and don't deliver. So

145
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: this battle of attrition is just going to create two losers.

146
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: My suggestion is be less about your opponent and more

147
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: about restoring opportunity, less about who is woke and more

148
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: about who is broke.

149
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: And I agree, by the way, with nine percent of

150
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: what Coomo said there.

151
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: The left is making a mistake going all in on Epstein,

152
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: and you need to give a reason why you're better

153
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: and they're not. I'll give you another example, Arb calling

154
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: out Raskin today saying you could have gotten the Epstein

155
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: files from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five when

156
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: Democrats controlled the DOJ. Why didn't the Democrats call for

157
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 4: the release then?

158
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Right?

159
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: Because this is not about actual justices, about attacking Donald Trump.

160
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: And Raskin's response was, well, there were other cases going on.

161
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: I don't know there are pictures of Trump and Epstein.

162
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: That's literally his response. So, in other words, Democrats didn't

163
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: care because Democrats are pos's that's what this boils down to.

164
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: They only care now because they think this is going

165
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: to hurt Donald Trump.

166
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: Now.

167
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: I also want to be clear why so many conservatives

168
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: are frustrated right now.

169
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: I am one of them.

170
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 4: I am not demanding that you give me something that

171
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: doesn't exist. I'm not demand that you fabricate something, not

172
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: demand that you go out and arrest innocent people. I

173
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: am demanding transparency This should be about the victims. And

174
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: the point I would say to President Trump right now

175
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: if I was sitting with him, is, mister President, you

176
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: promised transparency. You did it on rfk assassination, you did

177
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: it on Martin Luther King, You've done it on many

178
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: other issues.

179
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: The American people want the same level of transparency, even

180
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: if the transparency shows us nothing. I don't know if

181
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: there's an Epstein list. I've been told there is an

182
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: Epstein list. I've been told that this was there for

183
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: a long time. Now.

184
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: If that was a lie and I was lied to,

185
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: then show me what you do have, show me that

186
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: there is maybe not as much there as we thought.

187
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 4: And look, I think one of the reasons why Democrats

188
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 4: talked about the Epstein list is because they kept saying

189
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: over and over again, Donald Trump's in the Epstein files.

190
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's in the Epstein list. Donald. They used that

191
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: to attack Donald Trump. If there is nothing in there,

192
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: then fine. There's a point that's been made by as lawyers.

193
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: Most criminals don't keep records of their crimes. That may

194
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: be true, but there's a lot of information that's been redacted.

195
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: Now.

196
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: I want to protect the victims as many conservatives do.

197
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 4: But I also think that I deserve to see more

198
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 4: than what we are seeing right now now. I think

199
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: the presence moving towards that. I also want to be

200
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 4: clear about one other thing that's been a lie. There

201
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: have been people that have been saying that Donald Trump

202
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 4: can release everything, all of it instantly.

203
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: Is the president United It's America. That is a lie.

204
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: If you talk to judges and lawyers, they will tell

205
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: you no.

206
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: Much of what would be released would have to be

207
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: approved by judges or by a judge. A great example

208
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: of that is all of the witnesses and all the

209
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: people that went before the grand jury. That information would

210
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: have to be approved by a judge. So when they

211
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: tell you that Trump can give you everything, they are

212
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: lying to you.

213
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: That is not true. He cannot give you everything.

214
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: What am I asking for in so many other conservatives

215
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: total transparency. Whether it's nothing or whether it's something. We'll

216
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: figure that out. And that is the point that many

217
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: Americans say they want and also why they voted for

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: Donald Trump.
