Speaker 1 (00:01):
Look, I think the president's dominance over the party is unquestionable.
But I also think that going into this election, I
think he's very frustrated with the fact that House Republicans
and Senate Republicans seem very bad at making the case
for themselves. They need a reset in the coming weeks
in this RNC in Dallas. where they actually come together
and have a message going into the fall. Or else
(00:21):
we're going to see history prevail, I think, for a
lot of these people.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Good Thursday morning. It's nice to have you with us
on the 47 Morning Update. And we've got two big
stories for you. First up, Democrats double down on their
message of hating on America. And not only do they
say you should be ashamed of this country, but they
have a foreign leader that they're now crowning the true
leader of the free world that we should want to emulate.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Who have they named? I'll explain that in a moment.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Also, in a shocking move, we're now learning who is
behind El-Said. And it is a super PAC that is
linked to Hamas, you know, the terrorist organization. We also
know that in their own internal emails, they're saying that
they're building a movement in U.S.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Moss to take over in government.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
That story as well it's the 47 morning update and
it starts right now story number one there seems to
be a real theme right now and that is democrats
that are running for office or democratic socialists of america
and their supporters are pushing a new agenda item it
is hate america take a listen to democratic senator chris
(01:33):
coons who says america is no longer the leader of
the free world And then even more shocking than that,
he tells you who you should idolize. And you can
guess it's not Donald Trump at all.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I would say we are no longer the leaders of
the free world. In fact, if anything, Volodymyr Zelensky is
the primary national leader who is putting his country's men
and women on the line for freedom. And we need
to earn our place back as leader of the free
world in the future.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So to be clear, unless you're a radical extremist, democratic, Marxist, socialist,
communist who's leading America.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Then you should be ashamed of this country.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And if their guy's not in charge, Democratic Senator Chris
Coons says America is no longer the leader of the
free world. In other words, the majority of Americans who
voted for Donald Trump, well, we hate you. And instead,
we'd rather have Zelensky be our leader because in his words,
Zelensky is the primary national leader and we're no longer
(02:37):
the leaders of the free world.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
That would be Zelensky. Now, he also wasn't done there.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Democratic Senator Chris Coon went on to brag about depriving
thousands of hardworking Americans of their paychecks.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Why?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
To protect illegal immigrants. Again, they hate you. And when
they tell you, believe them.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I do not support using ICE as an ill-trained, masked, concealed,
thuggish local force to that goes into churches and synagogues
and mosques, into court buildings, into schools and hospitals. These
should be safe places. And we had such a fundamental
fight over this that my caucus, the Democrats in the Senate,
(03:23):
shut the government down for several months last year because
we were unwilling to vote to fund ICE.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So not only does he hate ICE, the men and
women who are going out there and getting the gangbangers
and the cartel members out, And the fentanyl dealers and
the human smugglers and the drug traffickers and the murderers
and the child rapists and the rapists and those that
are abusing children.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Like those are the people that ICE are going after.
People that are a real threat to society. And what
you just heard there, it was very clear. You have
a man who's high up in the Democratic Party that
says that, well, I hate them. I don't want them involved.
I don't want them around. I don't want them doing
(04:10):
any of these things that they are currently doing. Now, again,
this is the Democratic Party saying we hate America. We
hate American leaders. We hate American voters. We actually idolize
leaders around the world like Zelensky. Just so you know,
Zelensky hasn't had an election there since the war broke out.
(04:32):
So much for, you know, free and fair elections and
for actually listening to the people in Ukraine. But yet again,
it's another example of how important the midterm elections actually are.
Democrats will tell you when they hate you. And they
will tell you that they hate your values. And they
will tell you that you should look to Zelensky for
(04:53):
the future of what America, I guess, should look like.
So get ready, folks. You have a real decision to
make come November. And it's not just about showing.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Up to vote.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's also about getting out and supporting the candidates that
you believe in. Because one thing that is for certain
is this. The Democrats, the socialists and the communists. They
are angry and they are fired up to win this election.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Now, story number two.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
A super PAC linked to Hamas friendly care is now
taking credit for helping elect Abdul El-Said. And even scarier
than that, they're now saying they're building a quote unquote
movement in the U.S.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Where? Inside of mosques. That's right. The care linked lobby
arm also not.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Only taking credit for boosting the campaign of Mondani, as
well as Adam Hamaway, a New Jersey Democratic nominee for Congress.
But they're saying this is all starting in their mosques.
The super PAC saying that they believe that we are
building a victory and showing we're building a movement in
our mosque across the U.S. The Unity and Justice Fund
(06:04):
is a super PAC controlled and funded by CARE's lobbying arm.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Known as Care Action.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And they said in a fundraising email over the weekend
that it helped mobilize tens of thousands of Muslims and
Middle Eastern voters to turn out for El-Said, who defeated
the pro-Israel Democrat Stevens by one point in the August
4th primary. So if you want to know who is
behind these communist, socialist, Marxist candidates, these democratic, quote, socialists
(06:35):
of America, well, look no further than the Muslim movement
with care. Quote, the Unity and Justice Fund helped elect Mandani, Dr. Hemaway,
and now El-Said. We're doing more than just securing electoral
wins across the country. We're building a movement in mosques
and communities across this country. That is what the Unity
(06:57):
and Justice Fund said in their own words. They also
claim to have, quote, knocked on more than 30,000 doors
specifically of Muslim voters. As of August 24th, the fund
appears to have removed the phrase a movement in mosque
from the fundraising email and have changed Muslim voters to
(07:19):
Muslim and Middle Eastern voters. I guess that's how you
PC all of this. Now, according to the campaign disclosures,
the Unity and Justice PAC, which is about two years old,
contributed more than $ 175, 000 last month alone to fighting for
Michigan PAC, the largest outside group supporting El-Said. And the
(07:41):
Unity and Justice Fund paid more than $ 40, 000 to a
consulting firm owned by the chief of staff to the
mayor of Dearborn Heights, Michigan. for quote-unquote canvassing services in
support of El-Said, the record show.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Now, that's not all.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Again, it's all about follow the money. But before I
get to even more of the shocking details, I want
to talk to you about the 2026 primaries. They're taking
shape right now, and you can now trade the biggest
political races on CalSheep. On Cal State, not only can
you trade major primaries, election outcomes, and the biggest.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Political storylines as they happen.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now, a perfect example of just some of the things
that you can get in on is this. Will the
federal gas tax be suspended?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yes or no.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Will Mitch McConnell resign from his office before the midterms?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Will the Clarity Act become law?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Before October the 1st of 27 or before July 1st
of 2027? Will there be a government shutdown on October
the 1st of 2026? These are just some of the
things that you can do right now on CalSheep. And
on CalSheep, you're trading against peers in a live market,
meaning there's no house. And as the probability changes, you
(08:54):
can buy in and out of your position. Now, I
want you to try it. It's really fun. Download the
CalSheep app and use the code BEN. You're going to
get $ 20 when you trade $ 20.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's K-A-L-S-H-I, Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I. Trade on anything.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And don't forget, use that code Ben to get $ 20.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
When you trade $ 20 right now. 18 plus only.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Event contract trading involves risk
and may not be suitable for all investors. Kalshi products
are not available in all jurisdictions. Prices, values, and available
markets may differ from those mentioned. For more information, see
Kalshi.com slash regulatory.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Now, let's get back to the shocking story about the
amount of money that's being raised specifically by CARE in
the Muslim community to get out the Muslim vote. Unity
and Justice Fund, for example, is seeking to raise an
additional $ 1. 5 million ahead of the November elections. The super
PAC's support of El-Sayed could further alienate moderate Democrats, as
(09:53):
well as Jewish people in Michigan, who are very concerned
about Al-Said's link to anti-Israel and pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas activists. Devotion
to Sharia law is another issue and intellectual interest in
some of the most extreme corners of Islam. Now, again,
this is exactly where the money is coming from, the
(10:14):
radical extreme left in the Muslim movement.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
We're talking about Islamists.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Now, it also undercuts El-Said's primary campaign attacks on AIPAC.
That is the pro-Israel group that heavily backed Stevens, who
he beat in that midterm election. AIPAC has spent a
record amount in this race to elect my opponent, El-Sayed said,
because she'll be a reliable vote for a foreign government
that is aiding, arming and abetting a genocide. That is
(10:42):
the words of El-Sayed just last month. Now, let me
just remind you about CARE and who they are just
for a moment. They were designated as an unindicted co-conspirator
of a Hamas front group in 2008, and they have
sought to distance itself from the unity and justice fund
and claims that it neither created nor funded the super
(11:03):
PAC quote care has never donated to any funds. to
any political campaign, PACs or super PACs, nor has CARE
established any PACs, nor has CARE ever endorsed any candidates.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
That is what the CARE Deputy Executive Director, Edward.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Mitchell, said in a statement saying, quote, doing so would
be illegal. Now, that is true by a narrow legal definition,
but CARE two years ago openly created CARE Action, which
immediately established the Unity and Justice Fund. CARE and CARE
Action shared board members and have shared the same street
address in the past as well. CARE has also created
(11:41):
a super PAC, and it's called Unity and Justice Fund.
That is what Niyat Awad, CARE's co-founder and executive director,
said on a 2024 podcast, Awad, who has donated $ 750
to El-Sayed's campaign, has also come under intense scrutiny in
late 2023 for stating he was, quote-unquote, happy to see,
(12:07):
those are his words, Hamas attack Israel on October the 7th. Quote,
my organization CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, would
like to share the good news that we are expanding
our C4 lobbying and PACS organization in the next few days.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That is what Awad said in a rally in D.C.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
In January of 2024. CARE's website also quotes a news
article that refers to the Unity in Justice Fund as
a super PAC link to the Council on American Islamic Relations.
CARE Action, by the way, has contributed more than $ 185, 000
to the Unity in Justice Fund so far this year. Now,
(12:49):
let me also tell you about the CARE Action Executive Director,
Basim El-Khara, who has expressed support for a terrorist promoted
incitement and demonizing Israel. That, according to Canary Mission, and
was listed as the Super PAC's first treasurer and signed
the fundraising emails following. that the Unity in Justice Fund
(13:11):
sent out this weekend. CARE Action's three board members all
serve on CARE's National.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Board of Directors.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I think you can pretty much connect the dots here
of just how corrupt all of this actually has become. Now,
CARE officials and employees have contributed heavily to the Unity
in Justice Fund and directly to LSAID's campaign as well.
According to Fox News, Kern and former CARE employees have
contributed more than $ 115, 000 to El-Sayed's campaign directly. Now, even
(13:42):
El-Sayed's father-in-law donated $ 100, 000 to the Unity and Justice Fund
on July 20th. Campaign records now show. He also serves
on the board of directors of CARE's Michigan chapter. The
program's manager at CARE California also contributed more than $ 1, 000
to the Unity and Justice Fund. Now, all of this
(14:02):
is about following the money. And what we're now learning
is simply this. Al-Said is absolutely aided, supported, and backed
by all of these groups that are directly tied to Hamas. Yes,
the terrorist organization. And CARE is saying it very clearly
in their own words. They're taking credit for helping elect
(14:24):
al-Said and building a movement, a Muslim movement, in the U.S.
through their mosque organizations. Notice how after this has been exposed,
that is when they started, well, changing their words slightly.
So if you want to know what we're up against,
if you want to know who al-Said is actually representing,
(14:44):
it is not the citizens of the United States of America.
It's clearly the special interest groups tied to care. And
those groups are tied to Hamas. So welcome the Democratic
Party in 2026. When they tell you what they believe
in and who they hate, that includes many of us
and especially those that are Jewish, you should probably listen
(15:04):
to exactly what they're saying because they're not holding back
in their own emails.

Now, it also undercuts El-Said's primary campaign attacks on AIPAC.
That is the pro-Israel group that heavily backed Stevens, who
he beat in that midterm election. AIPAC has spent a
record amount in this race to elect my opponent, El-Sayed said,
because she'll be a reliable vote for a foreign government
that is aiding, arming and abetting a genocide. That is
(10:42):
the words of El-Sayed just last month. Now, let me
just remind you about CARE and who they are just
for a moment. They were designated as an unindicted co-conspirator
of a Hamas front group in 2008, and they have
sought to distance itself from the unity and justice fund
and claims that it neither created nor funded the super
(11:03):
PAC quote care has never donated to any funds. to
any political campaign, PACs or super PACs, nor has CARE
established any PACs, nor has CARE ever endorsed any candidates.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
That is what the CARE Deputy Executive Director, Edward.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Mitchell, said in a statement saying, quote, doing so would
be illegal. Now, that is true by a narrow legal definition,
but CARE two years ago openly created CARE Action, which
immediately established the Unity and Justice Fund. CARE and CARE
Action shared board members and have shared the same street
address in the past as well. CARE has also created
(11:41):
a super PAC, and it's called Unity and Justice Fund.
That is what Niyat Awad, CARE's co-founder and executive director,
said on a 2024 podcast, Awad, who has donated $ 750
to El-Sayed's campaign, has also come under intense scrutiny in
late 2023 for stating he was, quote-unquote, happy to see,
(12:07):
those are his words, Hamas attack Israel on October the 7th. Quote,
my organization CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, would
like to share the good news that we are expanding
our C4 lobbying and PACS organization in the next few days.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That is what Awad said in a rally in D.C.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
In January of 2024. CARE's website also quotes a news
article that refers to the Unity in Justice Fund as
a super PAC link to the Council on American Islamic Relations.
CARE Action, by the way, has contributed more than $ 185, 000
to the Unity in Justice Fund so far this year. Now,
(12:49):
let me also tell you about the CARE Action Executive Director,
Basim El-Khara, who has expressed support for a terrorist promoted
incitement and demonizing Israel. That, according to Canary Mission, and
was listed as the Super PAC's first treasurer and signed
the fundraising emails following. that the Unity in Justice Fund
(13:11):
sent out this weekend. CARE Action's three board members all
serve on CARE's National.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Board of Directors.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I think you can pretty much connect the dots here
of just how corrupt all of this actually has become. Now,
CARE officials and employees have contributed heavily to the Unity
in Justice Fund and directly to LSAID's campaign as well.
According to Fox News, Kern and former CARE employees have
contributed more than $ 115, 000 to El-Sayed's campaign directly. Now, even
(13:42):
El-Sayed's father-in-law donated $ 100, 000 to the Unity and Justice Fund
on July 20th. Campaign records now show. He also serves
on the board of directors of CARE's Michigan chapter. The
program's manager at CARE California also contributed more than $ 1, 000
to the Unity and Justice Fund. Now, all of this
(14:02):
is about following the money. And what we're now learning
is simply this. Al-Said is absolutely aided, supported, and backed
by all of these groups that are directly tied to Hamas. Yes,
the terrorist organization. And CARE is saying it very clearly
in their own words. They're taking credit for helping elect
(14:24):
al-Said and building a movement, a Muslim movement, in the U.S.
through their mosque organizations. Notice how after this has been exposed,
that is when they started, well, changing their words slightly.
So if you want to know what we're up against,
if you want to know who al-Said is actually representing,
(14:44):
it is not the citizens of the United States of America.
It's clearly the special interest groups tied to care. And
those groups are tied to Hamas. So welcome the Democratic
Party in 2026. When they tell you what they believe
in and who they hate, that includes many of us
and especially those that are Jewish, you should probably listen
(15:04):
to exactly what they're saying because they're not holding back
in their own emails.
