Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dosee also discovered that one point three million Aliens are
now receiving medicaid. Millions received driver's licenses, some registered to vote,
and dough says some actually did vote.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Good Wednesday morning, Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to
have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here
the three big stories we're covering. First up, Doge finds
a shocking scheme for legal immigrants to take your jobs
with a massive amount given so security numbers. We'll expose
all of this for you and why you should be
so angry about it in just a moment. Also, Donald
(00:39):
Trump says to China FAFO, it's official a tariff of
one hundred and four percent.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
So what happens next will explain that.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And finally, you may remember the COVID mandate in the
military is no longer a thing. Well now the government
official behind that mandate has been fired. It's the forty
seven Morning Update, and it's arts right now.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Story number one.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Let me start by saying, the story you're about to
hear is one that you need to share everywhere you
can on social media. Make sure you grab this podcast,
hit that share button right now and put it up
wherever you have family or friends, or text it to them,
because this is a story that every American needs to
know about. Elon Musk and the Dogs team recently exposed
(01:25):
how rampant immigration fraud and government corruption became so bad
under the Biden administration.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Specifically, they showed.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
How aliens were getting asylum can receive quote work authorization
and with it an automatic Social Security number, which enables
them to obtain drivers' licenses, commit voter fraud, and receive
other government benefits. This already sounds alarming, but the truth
apparently is even worse than that. Under the current US regulations,
(01:57):
asylum applicants can apply for a work author of document
with the Department of Home Insecurity five months after their
asylum application is filed, rather than five months after it's granted.
There's no filing fee for asylum applications, meaning there is
literally no cost involved in applying. This creates a huge
(02:18):
incentive for inadmissible aliens to file fraudulent asylum applications to
gain US work authorization, and that means takeaway jobs from
American citizens just like you and while adjudicating the asylum
application can take the Department of Homeland Security or the
Justice Department literally years to complete. The DHS prioritizes granting
(02:43):
employment authorization applications, averaging mere months to complete such applications.
In other words, individuals can fraudulently apply for asylum and
then receive work authorization shortly thereafter, safe in the knowledge
that their asylum application may not be decided for literally years.
(03:05):
And that is a loophole that was set up clearly
to allow for massive amounts of illegal immigrants to come
into this country. Here is how the story was explained
on Fox Business with Stuart Varney.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Dosh has found that Immigration gave a work authorization document
to illegals just five months after they filed for asylum.
That document allowed them to work while they waited to
hear whether their asylum requested being accepted or denied. So
they could work as an illegal. Knowing it would take
years before their case was heard, the Immigration Department mailed
(03:38):
them a social security number, no interview, no proof of
identity to put it in the mail. Here's your number
in twenty twenty one, does says two hundred and seventy
thousand new aliens were issued Social Security numbers five hundred
ninety thousand twenty twenty two, nine hundred and sixty four
thousand twenty twenty three, and two point one million in
twenty four, right before Biden left office. Doze also disc
(04:00):
covered that one point three million aliens are now receiving medicaid,
millions receive driver's licenses, some registered to vote, and does
says some actually did vote. Try and square that against
Democrat claims that Musk is destroying social Security and cutting Medicaid.
He's not destroying, He's weeding out people. It don't qualify
who is really guilty of misinformation in this case, it
(04:22):
is not Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Now, the question that everyone should be asking is number one,
how is this not criminal? And how are the Democrats
able to get away with this? Costing you hundreds of
billions of dollars at minimum? Now, if you think this
is the only thing that Elon Musk is working on,
I hate to tell you you're wrong. Another example of just
(04:45):
how much waste, fraud, and abuse there are is this
federal agencies spending billions of dollars on furniture and you're
the one paying for it.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Since physical year twenty twenty one, executive agencies have spent
more and four point six billion dollars on furniture alone.
That amount could buy nine point two million American families
a modest, five hundred dollar kitchen table. During the peak
years of the COVID emergency, from twenty twenty to twenty
twenty two, agency spent three point three billion on furniture.
(05:16):
Even as work migrated to zoom, the SEC managed to
spend seven hundred thousand dollars furnishing a single conference room
in New York, and social distancing guidelines failed to keep
even the Centers for Disease Control from buying solar powered
picnic tables with charging ports that, by their owned rules,
should have sat unoccupied. And an added burden for taxpayers
(05:38):
is that many spaces are on long term disrepair. As
we mentioned before, federal buildings need three hundred and seventy
billion dollars in fixes.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So yes, you heard that correct.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Federal agencies put four point six billion worth of taxpayer
dollars towards furniture in the past four years, even though
the vast majority of staffers were working from home.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
How is this also not criminal? Well?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Doeg is looking into all of it and saving American
taxpayers billions and billions of dollars in the process.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Now story number two.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
President Trump made it very clear on Liberation Day that
tariffs were going to go into effect on countries that
were taking advantage of America. There was no bigger abuser
than China. And then China made a historic mistake by
retaliating against the United States. Well, you can file this
yet again under FAFO, and when it comes to Donald Trump,
(06:33):
he's not messing around. President Donald Trump has now implemented,
at this exact moment, a comprehensive tariff strategy, increasing duties
on imports from numerous countries, with China now facing the
highest levee at one hundred and four percent. This move
is part of the administration's efforts, they say, to address
(06:54):
trade and balances and bolster domestic manufacturing in this country,
not just because we need to put American workers first,
but also because of the issue of national security, especially
when it comes to China. Now here are the key
points you need to understand about the China tariffs. The
one hundred and four percent tariff on Chinese imports aims
(07:15):
to pressure Beijing into addressing the trade practices deemed unfair
by the Trump administration. President Trump's express openness by the
way to negotiate and customize bilateral trade deals with countries
that are seeking tariff relief, emphasizing that current tariffs will
remain until trade imbalances and unfair practices are addressed. This
(07:39):
is something he's made very clear He's not willing to
compromise on this, especially when it comes to China. Now,
the global impact is what you also need to know about.
Beyond China, there are other nations, including US allies such
as Japan, South Korea, and the European Union. They're subject
to tariffs ranging from seventeen to twenty five. These measures
(08:01):
are intended to encourage fair trade practices and reduce the
US trade deficit.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Well, guess what's happened.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
More than seventy countries have now reached out and are
sending delegations to the United States of America to meet
with the Trump administration to make a deal, which is
exactly what Donald Trump said was going to happen. The
administration asserts that these tarists will incentivize companies to relocate
production to the United States and thereby revitalizing domestic industries
(08:31):
and creating jobs, but also creating jobs that are important
in manufacturing areas that deal with national security. President Trump
described these measures as a declaration of economic independence, underscoring
his commitment to reshaping international trade dynamics in favor of
American interest. Now, while these terrorists have introduced volatility in
(08:53):
the global markets, the administration maintains that they are a
necessary step towards achieving long term economic benefits of the
United States of America. Another way of putting it is
this way, what goes down in the market must come
back up. And that is what the President is saying
the White House talking about China and this one hundred
and four percent tariff. And here's what was said in
(09:15):
the White House briefing room.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
You mentioned this seventy countries or so. I'm curious, though,
under what conditions.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
At this point when President Trump talked to President Shew
about tariffs.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Well, look, I just spoke to the President about this,
and he believes that China wants to make a.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Deal with the United States.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
He believes China has to make a deal with the
United States. It was a mistake for China to retaliate
the President. When America is punched, he punches back harder.
That's why there will be one hundred and four percent
tariff's going into effect on China tonight at midnight. But
the President believes that she and China want to make
a deal, they just don't know how to get that started.
(09:50):
And the President also wanted me to tell all of
you that if China reaches out to make a deal,
he'll be incredibly gracious, but he's going to do what's
best for the American people.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Going to do what is best for the American people.
So if you want to know what the present's mindset is,
it is putting Americans yet again, first before other nations
that take advantage of all of us.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
And lastly, story number three.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
It will go down in history as one of the
worst moves ever made by any administration, especially when it
came to military readiness. Between twenty twenty one and twenty
twenty three, approximately eight thousand, two hundred plus US military
service members were discharged for refusing to comply with the
(10:32):
Department of Defense's radical COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. This figure
encompasses personnel from all branches of the military, well in
January of twenty twenty five, President Donald Trump signed an
executive order directing the reinstatement of these service members with
full back pay and benefits. As of April of twenty
(10:55):
twenty five, the Army has re enlisted over twenty three
soldiers who were previously dis charge for vaccine refusal. Other
branches are actively reaching out to eligible former service members
to facilitate the return to service. Well, we now know
who is behind that decision that clearly discriminated against your
right to choose what you're going to do with your vaccines.
(11:20):
A senior CIA official was the one who facilitated Biden's
military COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. Terry Aderim, a senior Intelligence
Agency official and former senior Defense official who played a
pivotal role and potentially illegal role in the Biden administration's
(11:41):
military vaccine mandate, has been fired from the agency. That
coming from Breitbart News. Adiam is a former senior Biden
appointee at the Department of Defense who was performing the
duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
and had to kill in December to the CIA as
(12:02):
director of CIA's Center for Global Health Services until about
a week ago. According to sources, her firing was related
to a role enforcing service members to choose between taking
a vaccine that was under Emergency use authorization or being
kicked out.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
According to sources.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Now, on September the fourteenth of twenty twenty one, that
was about a month after the Defense Secretary of Lloyd
Austin ordered the vaccine mandate, at Ourim issued a memo
instructing the DoD healthcare providers to consider the vaccine available
to service members, giving multiple ones, saying they were interchangeable
even though they were not approved by the FDA. In fact,
(12:42):
per her guidance that she wrote, she said, the two
vaccines are interchangeable and DoD healthcare providers should use doses
distributed under the EUA to administer the vaccination series as
if the doses were the licen's vaccine. Translation, if you
don't have the Pfizer vaccine, we got another one that'll
eventually get approved, so just you know, go with that one. Now,
(13:05):
our memo was considered legally dubious even inside the Pentagon.
That was reported also by bright Bart News in September
of twenty twenty two, a month after Adurim issued her memo.
A senior defense official proposed allowing service members who did
not want to take the EUA vaccine to wait for
the FDA approved vaccine before facing punishment for being unvaccinated.
(13:29):
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Threadingess Policy
and Oversight, David Smith proposed in a draft memo that
would replace the Adiam memo, saying quote, if a service member,
after medical consulting declines, the administration of the EUA manufactured
product DoD healthcare providers should engage with their logistics change
(13:51):
is secure and administer the manufactured bio Pfizer Intech product
prior to any punitive action being taken against the service member. Right,
this actually seems to make some sense. I don't know
what this is. I don't want it my body. I'd
rather wait for the Pfizer biointech one. That's what I
want to do. And what did the military say? Well, no,
(14:14):
that is not what happened at all. Smith's actions memo
was addressed to Adaim with a recommendation for her to
sign the draft memo with a proposed change. According to
documents obtained by Bret Bart News, the draft memo have
been sent to the military services for coordination, and a
senior Air Force official objected to it, arguing that adopting
(14:34):
the change could open the military up for more litigation
and possibly force it to reverse punishments already given to
those that had not taken the vaccine. So now you
know how little they actually cared in the Biden administration
about those men and women that are willing to die
for this country. And they looked at them as a headache.
And we're willing to give them a vaccine that actually
(14:56):
hadn't been approved yet. And what do they do to
those service that said they had real concerns, They said,
you're fired.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Well now at.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Least a woman who wrote that memo has also been fired.
Paying off with what Donald Trump said, I'm going to
get back into office and I'm gonna put our war
fighters at the forefront of my advocacy.

of twenty twenty two, a month after Adurim issued her memo.
A senior defense official proposed allowing service members who did
not want to take the EUA vaccine to wait for
the FDA approved vaccine before facing punishment for being unvaccinated.
(13:29):
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Threadingess Policy
and Oversight, David Smith proposed in a draft memo that
would replace the Adiam memo, saying quote, if a service member,
after medical consulting declines, the administration of the EUA manufactured
product DoD healthcare providers should engage with their logistics change
(13:51):
is secure and administer the manufactured bio Pfizer Intech product
prior to any punitive action being taken against the service member. Right,
this actually seems to make some sense. I don't know
what this is. I don't want it my body. I'd
rather wait for the Pfizer biointech one. That's what I
want to do. And what did the military say? Well, no,
(14:14):
that is not what happened at all. Smith's actions memo
was addressed to Adaim with a recommendation for her to
sign the draft memo with a proposed change. According to
documents obtained by Bret Bart News, the draft memo have
been sent to the military services for coordination, and a
senior Air Force official objected to it, arguing that adopting
(14:34):
the change could open the military up for more litigation
and possibly force it to reverse punishments already given to
those that had not taken the vaccine. So now you
know how little they actually cared in the Biden administration
about those men and women that are willing to die
for this country. And they looked at them as a headache.
And we're willing to give them a vaccine that actually
(14:56):
hadn't been approved yet. And what do they do to
those service that said they had real concerns, They said,
you're fired.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Well now at.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Least a woman who wrote that memo has also been fired.
Paying off with what Donald Trump said, I'm going to
get back into office and I'm gonna put our war
fighters at the forefront of my advocacy.
