Speaker 1 (00:00):
That this is not the end of DOGE, but really
the beginning. My time as a special comment point necessarily
had to end.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It was a limited time things one hundred and thirty
four days, I believe, which ends in a few days.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
So that's you know, it comes with the title. But
the Dog Team will only grow small growth of time.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
stories that you may have missed that we talked about
this week on the forty seven Morning Update.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
First up, the Deputy.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
FBI Director Dan Bongino coming out and saying, there's some
big stories that we're still looking into. You remember the
cocaine at the White House, or the leaking of the
twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision when it came to
Roe v. Wade and the Washington pipe bomb incident just
the day before January the seventh. Well, all of these
(00:50):
are now being investigated again.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
By the FBI. I'll have those details.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Also, President Trump yet again proving he wasn't joking when
he said he was going to be looking at where
your tax dollars are going this time. He says it's
time to cut off the funding to Harvard, and Harvard
is now fighting back. We'll have that and how much
money it could save you in just a second. And finally,
RFK Juniors Helped in Human Services has canceled Maderna's seven
(01:19):
hundred and sixty six million dollar vaccine contract line. They
say the technology actually may not be safe for you
at all. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
starts right now.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Story number one.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
There were some pretty big stories in the past administration
that literally got swept under the rug. And there are
stories that Democrats, certainly those in power, were really hoping
they'd never have to worry about again. That's part of
the reason why they were propping up Joe Biden, even
though they knew he wasn't even the president of the
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He had a massive cognitive decline.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But hey, when you're doing what they're doing, why not
keep the charades going. Well, The FBI Deputy Director Dan
Bongino has come out and said that quote the Bureau
is now looking at several of those cases involving quote
potential public corruption cases. The FBI could look at. Are
(02:14):
the Washington pipe bomb incident, a white House cocaine discovery.
You may remember that story and also the minor leaking
of the twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision that overturned
rov Wade. Yes the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino saying
that the bureau is looking at launching investigations into these
(02:37):
cases a potential public corruption Bongino said, quote shortly after
swearing in the FBI director Cash Mattel, and I evaluated
a number of cases of potential public corruption that understandably
have garnered public interests. Bongino a former Secret Service agent
and you may know him from his podcast. Note that
they made the decision to either reopen or push it
(03:00):
additional resources and investigative attention to these cases.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
One case they're looking.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
To target is the FBI investigation to the alleged pipe
bomb left near the Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings
in Washington, d C. The day before the January sixth
capital breach, he said. The FBI said in twenty twenty
four that a five hundred thousand dollars reward is still
an effect for information leading to the arrest of the
(03:26):
pipe bomb suspect. Earlier in twenty twenty five, the former
assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office
told CNN that officials are seeking quote new leads, saying
maybe alliances have changed or relationships have changed, and it's
time to report.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
On the suspect.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Is what he said to the outlet at the time,
saying tips from the public really have been very helpful,
but as I mentioned, we're still trying to identify the suspect,
so we're trying to release a little more information such
that maybe it will jog somebody's memory. Other cases that
weren't more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine
in the White House in July of twenty twenty three,
(04:07):
as well as the massive leak of the Supreme Court
decision that overturned Roe v.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Wade in June of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Saying it this way, quote, I receive requests briefings on
these cases weekly, and we are making progress. If you
have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us,
then please contact the FBI. Also in his ex posts,
Bongino said he and Patel have conducted one media interview
together which was with Fox News as you know, a
(04:37):
few days ago, saying quote, we decided early on to
limit our media footprint overall in.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Order to keep the attention on the work being done.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
We have chosen to communicate in writing on this platform
to fill some of the inevitable information vacuum, saying quote,
I try to read as much of your feedback as possible,
but the workday is busy and my off This is
a sensitive compartment and information facility with limited phone access
and response to feedback both positive and negative from our
(05:08):
interview last week, We will be releasing more information which
will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked
in the interview. One thing is for sure, they are
definitely going for more transparency. But for the liberals out
there that may have been committing crimes, guess what you
may have thought you got away with it, and apparently
with this administration, you may be very wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Now, story number two, it's a pretty simple idea.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
If you hate the United States of America, why should
we let you come to America's universities, especially if you're
advocating for violence against Jewish students or even American students. Well,
the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard
University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts
(05:56):
worth approximately one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Million dollars now.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
This this move follows earlier measures, including the freezing of
over two point six billion in federal research grants citing
concerns over the university's policies and campus climate. Now, the
aspects of the policy change are actually very simple. The
reallocation of resources is number one. The administration's decision aims
(06:23):
to redirect substantial federal funds to institutions that align more
closely with its policy objectives, potentially benefiting trade schools and
other educational entities. They also say there's an emphasis on accountability.
By scrutinizing Harvard's use of federal funds, the administration underscores
the importance of accountability and also adherence to national standards
(06:46):
and higher education institutions. And then the promotion of diverse
educational opportunities. The potential redistribution of funds, the White alsay
may enhance vocational and technological training program offering countless students
alternative pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route
(07:07):
and or going to an Ivy League school. There's also
the encouragement of institutional self reliance. The funding cuts may
prompt elite universities, they say, to seek greater financial independence,
foster innovation, efficiency, and management resources. Now these actions are
sparking legal challenges as the universities are angry over what's happening.
(07:32):
But at the end of the day, the White House
also says this comes down to another issue, and that is,
are we actually encouraging students from around the world to
come to the US that love America and that want
to be a part of the process, or are tax
dollars going to students that actually hate America? And that
brings up the State Department pausing visa interviews as Trump
(07:55):
moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's more of
that story is CNN freaked out over it news.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
And a major escalation in the Trump Administration's fight against
America's universities. The State Department pausing all new student visa
application interviews, and while that pause is in place, the
government is developing new guidance for social media screenings of
foreign students who want to study in the US. This
comes to the White House moves to cancel all remaining
federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that
(08:27):
those contracts are worth about one hundred million dollars. This
on top of more than two billion dollars in grants
that the administration froze last month, and on Monday, the
President threatened to give that money to trade schools. Here's
Harvard's president in an interview that was taped before news
broke about those latest contract cancelations.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I don't know fully what the motivations are, but I
do know that there are people who are fighting a
cultural battle. I don't know if that is what is
striving the administration. They don't like what's happened to campuses,
and sometimes they don't like what we represent.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The Harvard president right there, going on MPR, which the
president's also trying to defund, complaining about the motives of
the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Donald Trump doesn't care, by the way, and he's moving
forward with protecting America's interests and your tax dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And lastly, story number three.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
There's no other way to describe it but a major
victory for American taxpayers the US Department of Health and
Human Services under Secretary RFK Junior has canceled a seven
hundred and sixty six million dollar contract with Maderna that
was intended to fund the development of an mRNA base
(09:52):
vaccine targeting pandemic influenza viruses, including the H five in
one bird flu. The funding, awarded through the Biomedical Advanced
Research and Development Authority known as BARDA, comprised one hundred
and seventy six million granted in July of twenty twenty
four and five hundred and ninety million in January of
(10:14):
twenty twenty five. The cancelation occurred despite Maderna reporting positive
interim results from early stage trials involving three hundred healthy adults,
which demonstrated they claimed a robust immune response and favorable
safety profile. That's obviously coming from the company. Well, when
the announcement came through, this is what it sounded like
(10:38):
on MSNBC.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Administration has canceled a contract with Maderna for the development
of a bird flu vaccine for humans or Angelica peebles
joins US now with more and you could conjecture a
lot of things about this. Between RFK Junior and vaccines
and mRNA.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
What's behind all this? Yeah, good morning, Joe.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
So this is just the latest in a string of
events that we've seen related to COVID vaccines over the
last week. And what's happening here is that the Trump
administration is canceling a more than seven hundred million dollar
contract with Maderna to develop a bird flu vaccine and
other pre pandemic influenza viruses. And so what's really notable
about this is that obviously we've seen this. You know,
(11:25):
we've seen bird flu tearing through birds and also dairy
cows and the risk to humans. And so what we
saw on the Biden administration is that they really ramped
up this work and they were helping to fund they
were going to fund a phase through trial to see
if we could use mRNA for a bird flu vaccine
if it indeed spills over to humans. And now the
(11:46):
cancelation of this vaccine is quite a surprise. Maybe not
a surprise now, because we had been hearing rumblings about
this for the past few months. But you know, we
just saw this, this contract ramp up right before the
last administration left, and now you have the Trump administration
saying that they felt like, after a rigorous review, we
concluded that the continued investment in Maderna's H five and
(12:07):
one mRNA vaccine was not scientifically or ethically justifiable. And
they're saying that it's not just about efficacy, it's about safety,
and so it's interesting to hear them really casting doubt
on just the safety and the efficacy of mRNA vaccines
as a whole.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You go back to what the HHS official stated in
that decision, and you would think the media would have
spent more time on this, saying following a comprehensive review,
they concluded that continued investment in Maderna's H five N
one and m r NA vaccine was not scientifically or
(12:46):
ethically justifiable. Now, concerns were raised about the safety and
testing rigor of the mr NA technology, and the HHS
emphasized the need for safety number one, integrity number two,
and public trust in medical advancements, something that had all
disappeared because of the quote COVID vaccine.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Remember when they promised.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You if you got it, you were going to stop
the spread and you didn't have to worry about getting
COVID nineteen, Well that.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Never happened and we all know we were lied to now.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
This move also aligns with Secretary of Kennedy's long standing
skepticism towards mr NA vaccines. Since assuming his roll in February,
Kenny has imputed several policy changes reflecting those views, including
rolling back COVID nineteen vaccine recommendations as we mentioned yesterday,
for healthy children and pregnant women, something that's been celebrated
(13:41):
by quite a few Americans.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
To be clear, no one has banned vaccines. This is
going back to giving you the choice and a choice
that many Americans had taken away from them during the
COVID lockdown.
