1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: We're going to charge countries for doing business in our

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: country and taking our jobs, taking our wealth. Friend and foe,

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: and frankly friend has been oftentimes much worse than FAE.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Business is coming back to the United States. So this

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: is the beginning of Liberation Day in America.

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: Up Day with Ben Ferguson. And here are the three

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: big stories that you need to know about right now.

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: First up, at least Dephonics says, I'm staying in Congress

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: why to assure the Trump agenda to make America great again?

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: Continues the details on why this is such an important

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: decision coming up in a moment. Also, Donald Trump promised

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: that if you were anti American and here on a

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: visa from overseas on our college campuses, we're done with you.

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: Making good on that promise. Now more than three hundred

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: pro hamas terrorists protesters have gotten their visas revoked on

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: college camp and they say they're not done yet. I'll

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: have those details as well. And finally, the Trump administration

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: making it very clear after catching many of the domestic

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: terrorists going after Tesla dealerships. We won't negotiate plea deals

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: on any anti Tesla violence cases. It's the forty seven

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 3: Morning Update and it starts right now.

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Story number one.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: I want to start with a very important story that

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: the media is absolutely lying to the American people about.

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: The story headline looks like it could be a scandal.

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: The White House is withdrawing representatives to phonics nomination as

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: the UN ambassador. Naturally, people think, oh my gosh, what

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: did she do wrong? What happened? Why is it that

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: they have stopped this, and what is the scandal behind it? Well,

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: let me explain it to you very clearly. There is

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: no scandal at all if you actually understand why they

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: decide to pull her name for that nomination. Now, let's

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: go back in time and I'm to walk you through this.

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: In November of twenty twenty four, President Donald Trump nominated

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: Representative Stefanic of New York to serve as the United

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: States Ambassador the UN. Now, if you actually know what

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: is going on, what I'm about to tell you is

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: actually not a big deal makes a lot of sense.

41
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: There is a reason why President Trump withdrew her nomination

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: on Thursday, emphasizing the critical need to maintain the Republican

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Party's narrow majority in the House of Representatives, he stated, quote,

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: as we advanced our America First agenda, it is essential

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: that we maintain every Republican seat in Congress now at

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: the time, this is the numbers. Republicans are holding a

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: very slim majority two eighteen to two thirteen in the House.

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: There are four vacant seats right now, and Stephanic's departure

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: to assume the UN ambassador role would have well necessitated

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: Ay's special election of filler congressional seat. Here's the problem.

51
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: This is not a seat that is in a place

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: that you would guaranteed that a Republican would win. That

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: could easily jeopardize the GOP's ability to pass Donald Trump's

54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: key legislation. House Speaker Mike Johnson, by the way, coming

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: out supporting the decision as well, highlighting Sephank's vital role

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: in advancing the party's legislative priorities now. Sephonik, who represented

57
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: New York's twenty first district since twenty fifteen, had previously

58
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: stepped down from her position as Chair of the House

59
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 3: Republican conference in anticipation of her ambassadorial appointment. Her continued

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: presence in Congress is seen as crucial for maintaining party

61
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: unity and ensuring the passage of significant initiatives on the

62
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: Republican agenda. So let's just step back and let you

63
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: totally understand this. There is nothing here except for Republicans

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: making the right decision. Let me also be clear that

65
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: I think that if Republicans gain in the House in

66
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: the midterms, there's a very good chance that Representative Elise

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: Stephonic could then go back can get a major job

68
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: in this administration. She would have been perfect to be

69
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: the US Ambassador United Nations. But it doesn't matter as

70
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: much if you lose control of the House and it

71
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: stalls Donald Trump's agenda of putting America First. We must

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: be unified to accomplish our mission, and elist Dephonic has

73
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning.

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: Trump also wrote, I've asked atleast as one of my

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: biggest allies to remain in Congress, quote unquote Donald Trump,

76
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: making it clear that he is a huge fan of

77
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: her work and is basically saying, I know you'd be

78
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: great at this other job. But right now I need

79
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: you in Congress, so there's no doubt that we get

80
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: the America First Agenda passed.

81
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: Now story number two, you can.

82
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 3: File what I'm about to tell you under promises kept

83
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 3: after promises were made by Donald Trump during the campaign.

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: We now have more students that are being arrested by

85
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: ICE on college campuses. At the University of Alabama, a

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 3: doctoral student has been arrested by ICE. And also in

87
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: another headline from the Associated Press, they are now reporting

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 3: that a Turkish student at Tuffts University is the latest

89
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: Palestinian supporter swept up in a US crack down. Now

90
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: let's go to Alabama first. The University of Alabama says

91
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: one of its doctoral students has been arrested by Immigration

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: and Customs enforcement, adding to the growing list of foreign

93
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: students that have been targeted by law enforcement. Quote. The

94
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: University of Alabama recently learned that a doctoral student has

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: been detained off campus by federal immigration authorities. Federal privacy

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: laws limit what can be shared about the individual student,

97
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: the university said. The student, an Iranian national, was identified

98
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: by the Crimson White. Now that's the university's student newspaper,

99
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 3: who has a student visa, was detained this week, and

100
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: it's not clear what, if any charges he is facing.

101
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: The Hill reached out to the Department of Home in

102
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: Security for comment. Most of the foreign student, by the way,

103
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: the Trump administration's target have been involved in pro palaestin

104
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: in protests. In some way, the administration is seeking to

105
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: make use of a law They say the Secretary of

106
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: State can deport a non citizen who threatens the foreign

107
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: policy of the nation. Against these individuals, now, don't worry.

108
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: The lefties at the University of Alabama and the College

109
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: Democrats put out a statement saying, quote, our fears have

110
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: come to pass. Donald Trump and Tom Homan and Ice

111
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: have struck a cold, vicious dagger through the hearts of

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: au international community. Students at several high profile universities across

113
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: the country have also been detained amid the Trump administration's

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: crack down. Another example of that is what we're now

115
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: hearing from the Associated Press that a Turkish student at

116
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: Tufts University has been arrested. Now the Turkish student was

117
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: detained by federal officers as she walked along a street

118
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: in Boston suburb. It's the latest supporter of a palestin

119
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: in causes group that have been swept up, and the

120
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: Trump administration's cracked down on immigrants who have expressed their

121
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: political views. That's how the AP is reporting it. In reality,

122
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: that's not actually what they're doing. The Trump administration is

123
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: cracking down on immigrants who have student visas who are

124
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: actually threatening and going after others in the US. The

125
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: thirty year old, a doctoral student at Tufts University, was

126
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: swiftly moved out of Massachusetts, a demonstration of how US

127
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: Immigration and Customs enforcement is sending immigrants who are taken

128
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: into cussy to detention centers, are deporting them altogether before

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: a federal judge has a chance to weigh in on

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: their case and possibly halt the actions. That is how

131
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: the AP is sounding the alarm. The woman who was

132
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: attained Tuesday, shortly after she left her home in Somerville

133
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: had been moved to a nice detention center in Louisiana

134
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: by the time her lawyer went to court and a

135
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: judge ordered her to be kept in Massachusetts. US government

136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: lawyers set in a court document Thursday, they said they

137
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: made her lawyers aware that she was being moved and

138
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: facilitated contact with her Wednesday night. A senior Department of

139
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: Home in Security spokesman said federal authorities detain the woman

140
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: after an investigation found that she had quote engaged in

141
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that

142
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: relishes the killing of Americans. The department did not provide

143
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: evidence of that support. Of course, is how again the

144
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: AP is trying to make it look like Donald Trump

145
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: did something wrong. Now if you look at the facts here,

146
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: when the Department of Homeland Security in this case tells

147
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: you what happened, they say they are deporting a woman

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: that is engaged in activities in support of a terrorist

149
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: organization that relishes the killing of Americans Hamas. That right,

150
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: there should be enough to say, Okay, this is a

151
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: good decision for America. It's a good decision for the

152
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: safety of students on college campuses. And why on earth

153
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: would you want someone like this in America? As our guest.

154
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: The Secretary of State, by the way, Marco Rubio, said,

155
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is revoked the visas of at least

156
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: three hundred people, including this woman. We do it every day,

157
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: quote unquote. We gave you a visa to come and

158
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: study and get a degree not to become a social activist,

159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: to tear up our university campuses, Rubio said to reporters

160
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: during a stop in Ghana. So, Marrow, the story is this.

161
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: If you think Donald Trump and the State Department or

162
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: Tom Homan or Marco Ruby are going to stop deporting

163
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 3: students that are clearly hating America or supporting terrorist organizations,

164
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: so well you're wrong, because they're doing it quote every day.

165
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three.

166
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: If there is a theme that you could say relates

167
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: to Donald Trump and his White House and law enforcement

168
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: under him, it's pretty clear it's fafo. And with the

169
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: recent developments in the investigation of the attacks on Tesla properties,

170
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: well now they've led to a significant number of arrests,

171
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: highlighting law enforcement's commitment to addressing these terrorist incidents. In

172
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, authorities of APPA pre hinted a thirty six

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: year old on charges including arson and possession of an

174
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: explosive device. The man was accused of attacking a Tesla

175
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: service center, fire bombing it and having firearms, resulting in

176
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: vehicle fires and property damage. And Texarcano, there was a

177
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: thirty three year old that was arrested for allegedly running

178
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: his all terrain vehicle into multiple park teslas. Tesla's Century

179
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: Mode captured footage of the incidents, aiding in his identification

180
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: and arrest. The man now faces charges of felony, criminal mischief,

181
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: and failure to identify. These arrests are demonstrate the effectiveness

182
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: of collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies and also the

183
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: role of technology with Tesla and ensuring public safety. Yes,

184
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: getting caught by the Tesla's cameras, you gotta admit is

185
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: pretty hilarious. Now, Pamboni is not laughing at all about

186
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: any of this. In fact, Pamboni went on Fox News

187
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: Channel to make it very clear if you're one of

188
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: these people involved in this domestic terrorism with Tesla, well

189
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: you're not getting a deal ever from us.

190
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 4: What's happening with this Las Vegas Tesla criminal who he

191
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: was arrested and now federal charges have been filed against him.

192
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: This was something that was needed given everything we're seeing

193
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: happening to those dealerships and those cars across the country.

194
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 5: That was remarkable police work, working with the state Police,

195
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: r FBI. They have been going non stop on this case.

196
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 5: This guy is in custody Laura. He is facing five

197
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: year minimum mandatory to twenty years in prison. And this

198
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: was great police work. This guy thought he got away

199
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: with it. So these people better look out. They better

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: cut it out because we are coming after you, and

201
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: at my direction, there will be no negotiating on these people.

202
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: Now.

203
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 5: We are seeking twenty years in prison. They are setting

204
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 5: off bombs, the huge fires. Look what you're seeing, huge

205
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: massive fires in residential neighbors, going to get schlaging stations.

206
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: Someone is going to get killed, a citizen is going

207
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 5: to get killed. And these people, we are not doing

208
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 5: any plea negotiations on them now.

209
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: The question obviously is will these crazy stop attacking Tesla cars.

210
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: The answer is probably no, because I'm assuming that many

211
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: of them believe that they're somehow gonna get away with it.

212
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: But what we do know is that this administration is

213
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: coming after you, and when they catch you, you're not

214
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: gonna get a plea deal. This is not the Biden

215
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: administration that goes easy on criminal activities.
