Speaker 1 (00:01):
Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. It's, you know, pretty simple.
It's really simple. We're not looking to take their industry,
we're not looking to take their land, we're not. All
we're saying is you can't have a nuclear weapon. I'd
like to see Iran thrive and they can do that,
I think very easily, or they can do it the
other way. And the other way is not going to
be good for them. It's going to be really bad
(00:21):
for them.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Good Thursday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice
to have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And
here are the three big stories we're talking about today.
First up, a rand Supreme leader on obtaining nuclear weapon says, quote,
death to America is not just a slogan, it's a policy,
and the White House responds. Up next, Lindsey Graham has
(00:47):
some questions for the man that's going to be leading
the DEA and what he had to say about Kamar
Obrega Garcia, Well, it will shock the media with their
big lie and the Democratic Party, and we have the
audio for you here in just a moment and Finally,
a shocking speech from the fore of the Senate by
Chuck Schumer which basically could have been written by the
(01:08):
Chinese Communist Party on tariffs. I'll have that for you
in just a second. It's the forty seven Morning Update
and it starts.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right now story number one.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
As we move.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Past the one hundred day mark and the Trump administration,
there is still a lot that is happening, including on
the issue of Iran and their nuclear weapon capabilities. Iran
Supreme Leader setting the stage for exactly what they want
when it comes to their future, saying this about obtaining
(01:39):
nuclear weapons. Quote death to America is not just a slogan,
it is a policy translation. If we get a nuclear weapon,
we plan on using it. These are genocidal maniacs and
it's a terrorist regime, no matter what the liberal media
tries to sell you on. Now, the President of the
(01:59):
United States of America was asked about where are we
when it comes to a rand nuclear deal and what
will we do moving forward. Here's the President in his
own words.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. It's you know, pretty simple.
It's really simple. We're not looking to take their industry.
We're not looking to take their land. We're not. All
we're saying is you can't have a nuclear weapon. The
deal that was made, the deal that was made with Obama,
and then they would have expired already. It was a
(02:30):
terrible deal. It was it was would have expired, and
that gave them a clear path to a nuclear weapon.
I wouldn't have accepted. That's why I terminated the deal.
Number one is way too short. You know, when countries
are involved, you don't make short term deals. These are
countries with long lives. And I terminated that. And it
(02:50):
was a great termination because it didn't allow us to
do anything once it terminated. You know what the deal was.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
It was a terrible deal.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It really one of many terrible deals made by the US.
But no, I want I'd like to see Iran thrive
and they can do that, I think very easily, or
they can do it the other way, and the other
way is not going to be good for them and
be really bad for them.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Very clear stance from the President United States of America.
Either do a deal, or we will stop you. The
Senate Republicans coming out with a statement as well, agreeing
with President Trump, saying quote, Iran has no reason to
enrich uranium and must never have a nuclear weapon, saying, quote,
we are grateful that the President is holding Iran accountable
(03:33):
and working to ensure they can't obtain a nuclear weapon. Now,
the message to Iran is also very clear. We know
that you are a state sponsor of terrorism. We know
that you support the Huthis, We know that you support
Hamas and Hesblah, and we know that you are funneling
money to any of these proxies to go after people
(03:54):
that you don't like, including Israel. We know that you
chant death to America, death to Israel. And at the
end of the day, it will be impossible for us
to allow you to gain nuclear weapons. Now, if you
look at what is happening right now, there does seem
to be movement where Iran is coming to terms with
the reality the President Donald Trump is not flinching on
(04:17):
this issue and the ability for them to have a
nuclear weapon is a non starter. And yes, military power
will be used to stop them if we must. But
if you notice there what the President also said, he
wants the people of Iran to flourish, but they cannot
flourish if they are threatening the rest of the world
or trying to get that nuclear weapon. Now, the big
(04:38):
question is what will Ran do next? As they are
saying death to America, are they actually willing to get
a deal done. We'll have to watch in the days ahead,
but it's clear the President has said to them and
the rest of the world, if you don't get in line,
we will stop you, no matter what next. Story number two,
another immediate lie has exploded in the face of Democrats
(05:01):
and those in the media that were telling the story.
President Donald Trump's pick to lead the drug enforcement agency
known as the DEA has blown up the denials from
liberal media outlets that purported that the MS thirteen gang
member Kilmar Obrego Garcia is not sporting tattoos for the gang.
(05:22):
The DEA administrator Terry Cole made it very clear to
the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that the media
and Democrats were lying about the tattoos of a man
they described as just a father from Maryland. He was
asked about the tattoos during the hearing from Lindsay Graham,
and here is what he said.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Are you familiar with MS thirteen, Yes, sir, briefly, what
are they?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
They're a terrorist organization?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, they've been designated at foreign terrorist organization. Yes, sir,
they're involved in drugs, fentanyl.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Extortion, kidnapping, drugs, intimidation, money laundering.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
In your time in the DEA, do they have like
membership cards.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Not necessarily the membership cards, but they are well recognized
based on tattoos and in different Do you have.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
A photo I think our office provided to you.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We spoke, Yeah, we spoke about it earlier.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yes, sir, can you give this stuff? This is a
photo of tattoos a mister Breo Garcia. Much attention has
been paid to his case. I think he's in Venezuela.
Can you see the photo here?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yes? Sorry, Ken, I have a copy of it.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Okay. Based on your time and experience and expertise in
the DEA, what does that photo or those markings suggest.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
To you, Well, they suggest that he's an MS THIR
team member, that those are his markings, that's his brand.
Not only my time at the DEA, but currently I participate.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
The start with a Leaf's that a sign of marijuana? Okay?
The next one is your smiley face okay, And the
next one is I.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Believe that's the one. I can't.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
It's a little blurted out from you, sir, and then
the last one is a three backwards over.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Okay, So, based on your time as a DEA agent
in the field, particularly in Mexico, these tattoos are consistent
with MS thirteen associations.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yes, sir, that's correct.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Do you know of any other set of combinations that
would suggest some other organization this represents with.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This particular one, No, sir.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yet again, it's very clear the DEA nominee is the
Democrats and the media's worst nightmare.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Based on your time as a DA agent in the field,
particularly in Mexico, these tattoos are consistent with MS thirteen
associations the DEA chief nominee. Yes, So why did the
media lie to you? Why did they say that the
picture wasn't even real, that the president was you know, bamboozled? Well,
ABC News even in the one hundred day interview, try
(08:06):
to imply that the picture wasn't real. Not only is
it real, but now we know from the man who
will be in charge of the DA that yes, this
individual is an MS thirteen gang member, not some father
from Maryland. And just think about it this way. This
is the man that Democrats flew down to hang out
with hold his hand and desperately want to bring back
(08:29):
into the United States of America a man that two
different courts have declared a member of a terrorist organization.
So if you think Democrats and the media are looking
out for you, just look at this new hoax that
they've already been busted on.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And here is story number three.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It was a speech from the floor of the Senate
by the Senate leadership of the Democratic Party, Chuck Schumer,
and it was a speech that very well could have
been written by the Chinese Communist Party. If you want
to know just how much they hate American workers and
they hate the idea of America standing firm or standing
up to China, well just listen to Chuck Schummer's own words.
(09:09):
And I'm not kidding when I say this. You gotta
wonder did the speech come directly from the CCP.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
One thing is clear. Donald Trump's tariffs have been a
total failure. Instead of isolating China, Donald Trump's tariffs are
isolating US. Instead of spurring American manufacturing, Trump's tariffs are
raising costs and driving US into recession. There's no strategy
with Trump's tariffs, only chaos. One day Donald Trump says
(09:37):
yes to tariffs, the next day no to tariffs. One day,
tariff's on this country, the next day, tariff's on that country.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Even Donald Trump's own.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Policy advisors are struggling to explain his flip flopping. The
only thing Donald Trump's tariffs have succeeded in is raising
the odds of recession and sending markets in to a
sail spin.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
If you want to file that speech under Chinese propaganda,
it'd be a perfect place to put it. And there
was also many things that were just flat out lies.
For example, he said it was destroying manufacturing these tariffs
in America. Well that's actually not true. Many US manufacturers
are now reporting major benefits from the tariffs. Whirlpool, for instance,
(10:23):
has indicated that the new trade policies helped level the
playing field by reducing foreign competitors' cost advantages and bolstering
domestic production. New Core, a leading steel producer, also saying
now they have strong demand and increase order backlogs, attributing
this to reduce reliance on imported steel. The tariffs have
(10:44):
prompted companies to consider reshoring. Production, including Apple, for example,
is expected to exceed earnings projections, partly due to increased
consumer demand ahead of potential tariffs and its effort to
ship production from China to India and other countries. Yes,
the President is making progress on tariff negotiations, as the
(11:06):
administration says, be patient. Many countries have lined up to
talk with a White House and are currently in negotiations. Whine,
the White House statement said it very clearly, tariffs are
aiming to rebuild the economy, restore national and economic security,
and make sure that American workers have great paying manufacturing jobs. Yes,
(11:31):
all of this indicates that there are major outcomes that
could come in the days and weeks ahead that will
be good for America. So why did the man in
charge of the Democratic Party put a propaganda speech out
there from the for of the Senate. Well, you got
to look at maybe just how close the Democratic Party
really is to the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing.
