Speaker 1: What happens in the meantime should Americans be prepared potentially
Speaker 1: for years.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what happens.
Speaker 1: We have now seven trillion dollars of commitments from companies.
Speaker 2: Wanting to go and get time.
Speaker 1: What we are you're asking me a question? Are you
Speaker 1: telling me? Yeah?
Speaker 3: It takes time.
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to build.
Speaker 1: A thing called the factory.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice
Speaker 3: to have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And
Speaker 3: here are the three big stories we're covering for you.
Speaker 3: First up, there's a big lie that Republicans are going
Speaker 3: to actually undermine Donald Trump in the Senate and stop
Speaker 3: him from being able to do what he's doing with tariffs. Well,
Speaker 3: guess what, It's a big lie made up by the media,
Speaker 3: and we expose it in just a moment. Up next,
Speaker 3: a major victory for law and order as a Supreme
Speaker 3: Court is allowing the Trump administration to enforce deportations of
Speaker 3: gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. And finally, Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: we're now being told is in direct conversations with Iran
Speaker 3: and also talking to militias in Iraq about disarmament. It's
Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 2: Story number one.
Speaker 3: There has been a story that has been circulating and
Speaker 3: it's one that we're going to debunk right now. It's
Speaker 3: that Republicans are going to break with the President and
Speaker 3: destroy what he's doing on tariffs. Well senter James Langford
Speaker 3: set the record straight, saying he doesn't think that's gonna
Speaker 3: happen on Capitol Hill at all. He said, if anything
Speaker 3: is stopping the president will be lawfair in the court system.
Speaker 3: You're noticing a trend with lawfair right, take a list
Speaker 3: in the center. In his own words from Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: So, I think the president's challenge is not going to
Speaker 5: be Congress. There'll be members of Congress saying, hey, this
Speaker 5: needs to be able to come back to Congress as
Speaker 5: it typically does. I think it's gonna be challenging the
Speaker 5: courts quite frankly, because it's novel, is new, it's a
Speaker 5: different way to actually take on the tariffs, and so
Speaker 5: I think the courts are going to jump in and
Speaker 5: say we want to be able to take a look
Speaker 5: at this.
Speaker 3: So there is a center saying guess what. What you're
Speaker 3: being told by the media is yet again another lie
Speaker 3: to undermine President Trump and his job as the commander
Speaker 3: in chief. Now, the Center also said, yes, there is
Speaker 3: an attempt in Congress to quote rein in the president's
Speaker 3: capability to manage tariffs, but quote, I don't think this
Speaker 3: bill will have an impact on it at all. Now,
Speaker 3: the Senate narrowly approved a tariff control bill which could
Speaker 3: not have won approval if it was not for the
Speaker 3: support of four Republicans. There's a little chance the bill
Speaker 3: will get majority support in the House. Trump also still
Speaker 3: has veto control of the bill should it win full approval.
Speaker 3: You can't make this up. Lankford said. The big picture
Speaker 3: is that Trump is on the right course, and he
Speaker 3: believes his constituents will see the benefits as well, saying, quote,
Speaker 3: He's not wrong definitely that China is ripping us off,
Speaker 3: and that we've got bad trade issues all over the world.
Speaker 3: And I'm looking forward to lots of new negotiated trade
Speaker 3: agreements all around the world because my farmers and ranchers
Speaker 3: are folks that do production of lots of different equipment here.
Speaker 3: They want to be able to sell all over the world.
Speaker 3: They want to be able to have fair markets.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: President Trump also getting in on the action. At the
Speaker 3: White House today, he was taking questions with net and
Speaker 3: Yahoo and he was asked by the media about the tariffs.
Speaker 3: There was a story that started to circulate that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump was quote looking at pausing at the tariffs. Well,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump said, guess what, that's not true, and here's
Speaker 3: the present in his own words, any questions to the
Speaker 3: markets today and would you be open to a pause
Speaker 3: in tariffs to allow for negotiation.
Speaker 1: Well, we're to look at it that we have many,
Speaker 1: many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with US,
Speaker 1: and they're going to be fair deals. In certain cases,
Speaker 1: they're going to be be paying substantial toras, they'll be
Speaker 1: fair deals. So you know, I spoke this morning with
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Japan and we had a very
Speaker 1: good conversation. They're coming, and I said, one thing, you're
Speaker 1: going to have to open up your country because we
Speaker 1: sold no cars, like zero cars in Japan, and they
Speaker 1: sold millions of cars into our country. They don't really
Speaker 1: take our agriculture, a little bit of it just to
Speaker 1: keep us slightly happy, but they don't take what this
Speaker 1: is us to be taking. So we have a great
Speaker 1: relationship with Japan. We're going to keep it that way.
Speaker 1: But they're coming in to meet, and other countries are
Speaker 1: coming in with China, as you know, against my statement,
Speaker 1: they put a thirty four percent tariff on above what
Speaker 1: their ridiculous tariffs were already, and I said, if that
Speaker 1: tariff isn't removed by tomorrow at twelve o'clock, we're putting
Speaker 1: a fifty percent tariff on above the tariffs that we
Speaker 1: put on. So they've gone for years, They've become a
Speaker 1: rich country because of people again that we're in the
Speaker 1: White House that allowed this to happen. Hundreds of billions
Speaker 1: of dollars a year that'd maken us on trade, and
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that way. And I have a great
Speaker 1: relationship with presidency. I hope it's going to stay that way.
Speaker 1: I have great respect for China, but they can't do this.
Speaker 1: We're just we're going to have one shot at this,
Speaker 1: and no other president's going to do this what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, it's an honor to do
Speaker 1: it because we have been just just destroyed what they've
Speaker 1: done to our system. You know, we have thirty six
Speaker 1: trillion dollars of debt for a reason, and the reason
Speaker 1: is that people allowed it to get that way. So
Speaker 1: we'll be talking to China, We'll be talking to a
Speaker 1: lot of different countries, and I think, you know, if
Speaker 1: if we can make a really fair deal and a
Speaker 1: good deal for the United States, not a good deal
Speaker 1: for others. This is America first. It's now America first.
Speaker 1: And we didn't put America first. We put America lass.
Speaker 1: The people that were in the Oval Office put America last.
Speaker 1: And we're not going to stand for it.
Speaker 3: So if you want to know who's on your side,
Speaker 3: it's clearly the President of the United States of America. Yes,
Speaker 3: the media is having to lie, manipulate and change the
Speaker 3: headlines and tell you it's all doom and gloom, and
Speaker 3: then line say the President's going to stop the tariffs,
Speaker 3: pause the tariffs, back down from the tariffs, show weakness.
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty clear now from what the President
Speaker 3: said in the White House none of that is actually
Speaker 3: going to happen.
Speaker 2: Next story number two, it is a major.
Speaker 3: Victory for law and order when it comes to the
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump having power to do his job. The
Speaker 3: Supreme Court of the United States lifted a block from
Speaker 3: the US District Judge James Mooseburg, which was law fair
Speaker 3: preventing the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members.
Speaker 3: They were doing this under the seventeen ninety eight Alien
Speaker 3: Enemies Act. Now, this ruling from the Supreme Court is
Speaker 3: a massive win for President Donald Trump and most importantly
Speaker 3: for the rule of law in this country. It's also
Speaker 3: a massive win for his administration because now they can
Speaker 3: actually do their jobs. It was described quote as a
Speaker 3: narrow and focused on the proper venue for the cases,
Speaker 3: rather than on the administration's use of a century's old
Speaker 3: law to justify his decision to deport suspected illegal alien
Speaker 3: gang members. That according to The New York Times, So
Speaker 3: even when the President gets a huge victory from the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, just know, the hacks of the New York
Speaker 3: Times are still going to lie to you about the
Speaker 3: premise of the ruling. Per the New York Times, it
Speaker 3: was a five to four decision happens all the time,
Speaker 3: by the way, and the Supreme Court justice found that
Speaker 3: the migrants had improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, d c.
Speaker 3: When they should have challenged them in Texas, where they
Speaker 3: were being held quote unquote from the Times. Now, the
Speaker 3: real headline should have been this, the Supreme Court sides
Speaker 3: with the Trump administration and will allow them to continue
Speaker 3: removing Venezuelan transd Aragua gang members from the country under
Speaker 3: the Alien's Enemies Act. But no, the media couldn't actually
Speaker 3: tell you the story the honest way. In a post
Speaker 3: on x the Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court decision and described it as a landmark victory
Speaker 3: for quote the rule of law. Bondi continued, saying this,
Speaker 3: an activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the
Speaker 3: jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump's authority to conduct
Speaker 3: foreign policy and keep the American people safe. The Department
Speaker 3: of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America
Speaker 3: safe again. Trump also asked the Supreme Court to allow
Speaker 3: the federal government to deport suspected illegal alien gang members
Speaker 3: under the Alien Enemies Act, and in March, Trump invoked
Speaker 3: the Alien Enemies Act to allow for the expedited removal
Speaker 3: of illegal Venezuelan migrants who were suspected of being members
Speaker 3: of that dangerous gang. The transd Aragua gang also that
Speaker 3: has been designated as a terrorist organization. These are terrorists
Speaker 3: at the President's trying to get rid of. This was
Speaker 3: a massive victory for the President and it's one that
Speaker 3: the media will not tell you the truth on because
Speaker 3: they know just how damning it is to their law fare.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, this means that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump is going to be able to do what he
Speaker 3: needs to do to keep all of us safe from
Speaker 3: these gang members.
Speaker 2: And here is story number three in some.
Speaker 3: Very important international news. The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanya,
Speaker 3: who met with Donald Trump at the White House. But
Speaker 3: one of the biggest things that came out of the
Speaker 3: conversation was some breaking news that Donald Trump announced about
Speaker 3: having direct talks with a Ran over their nuclear weapons program.
Speaker 3: President saying this at the White House, sitting next to
Speaker 3: Bibe Well, having direct.
Speaker 1: Talks with Rant and they've started. It'll go on Saturday.
Speaker 1: We have a very big meeting of w see what
Speaker 1: can happen. And I think everybody agrees that doing a
Speaker 1: deal would be preferable to doing the obvious, and the
Speaker 1: obvious is not something that I want to be involved
Speaker 1: with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with
Speaker 1: if they can avoid it. So we're going to see
Speaker 1: what we can avoid it. But it's getting to be
Speaker 1: very dangerous territory and hopefully those talks will be successful,
Speaker 1: and I think it would be Intern's best interests if
Speaker 1: they are successful. We hope that's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: As President Trump was saying this in the Oval Office,
Speaker 3: Reuters came out with an exclusive report saying that Iran
Speaker 3: back militias in Iraq are ready to disarm to avert
Speaker 3: what they describe as a Trump wrath. That's right coming
Speaker 3: out of Baghdad. Several powerful Iranian back militia groups in
Speaker 3: Iraq are prepared to disarm for the first time to
Speaker 3: avert the threat of an escalating conflict with the US
Speaker 3: Trump administration. That is what ten senior commanders and Iraqi
Speaker 3: officials said to Reuters. The move to diffuse tensions follows
Speaker 3: repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to the Iraqi
Speaker 3: government since Trump took power in January. According to sources
Speaker 3: who include six local commanders of four major militias, the
Speaker 3: officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband the militias,
Speaker 3: operating on its soil, America could target the groups with
Speaker 3: air strikes. A senior Muslim politician close to Iraq's government's
Speaker 3: alliance also told Reuters that discussions between the Prime Minister
Speaker 3: and several militia leaders were quote very advanced, and the
Speaker 3: groups were inclined to comply with US calls for disarmament.
Speaker 3: The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting on continuing
Speaker 3: in their current form, he said, adding that the groups
Speaker 3: were fully aware they could be targeted by US air strikes.
Speaker 3: The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad by Reuters at
Speaker 3: a southern province who requested obviously eminemity to discuss the
Speaker 3: sense of situation, are from multiple different groups. Many of
Speaker 3: them also it ties to Iran. Trump is ready to
Speaker 3: take the war with us to worse levels. We know that,
Speaker 3: one of the commanders said, and we want to avoid
Speaker 3: such a bad scenario. The most powerful Sheite militia also
Speaker 3: saying that it's time for us to find a way
Speaker 3: to work together. You cannot make this up. Why are
Speaker 3: they doing this now? Because they've witnessed what the president's
Speaker 3: doing with other leaders that he decides to take out
Speaker 3: isis leaders and the President, making it clear that if
Speaker 3: you don't get a deal now, well you're probably going
Speaker 3: to end up dead. The commander said, their main ally
Speaker 3: and patron, Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards military force, has given
Speaker 3: them its blessing to take whatever decisions they deem necessary
Speaker 3: to avoid being drawn into a potentially ruin US conflict
Speaker 3: with the United States and Israel. So the moral of
Speaker 3: the story is even Iran's military understands that right now
Speaker 3: is not a time to mess with the Trump administration,
Speaker 3: and this may be exactly why they're willing to talk
Speaker 3: directly with the Trump administration to avert military strikes from
Speaker 3: a present that says he's not bluffing.
