Speaker 1 (00:01):
Over the past two hundred and fifty years. We're going
to have a big, big celebration, as you know, two
hundred and fifty years. In some ways, I'm glad I
missed that second term where it was because I wouldn't
be your president for that most important of all. In addition,
we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics.
Can you imagine I missed that four years and now
(00:23):
look what I have. I have everything amazing the way
things worked out.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Good Wednesday morning.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Nice to have you with us on the forty seven
Morning Update, and here are the three big stories that
you need to know about to start your day. First up,
the FEDS have pulled the COVID vaccine from recommendations for
healthy children and healthy pregnant women. Don't worry the media
freaking out over this decision and the left saying everyone
(00:53):
is anti vax around Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
We'll give you the actual details.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Of what was said by RFK Junior and other and
you'll be surprised to learn that yet again, the media
is lying to you. Up next, poll numbers looking great
for Donald Trump as he's maintaining a two month high.
This is The President also goes on offense and says,
remember some of the stuff that they kind of just
(01:17):
made go away in the last administration, like who was
actually running the country or what was going on with.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The cocaine at the White House.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Well, the President says, it's time to look at all
of that again. I'll have those details that'll make you
smile in just a second. And finally, 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
(01:48):
have that and how much money it could save you
in just a second. But first, before we get to
those stories, I want to tell you about the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and we are seeing something
truly disturbing. Anti Semitism is on the rise, not only
around the world, but sadly right here in America. Jewish
schools are being targeted, synagogues are being threatened, and families
(02:10):
living in fear is a real thing in the Jewish community.
It's something we hoped we'd never see again in our lifetime,
but unfortunately, it's what's happening right now. And that's why
it's not an option to be silent. It's a time
for us to take a stand. And that's why I
want you to stand with the International Fellowship of Christians
and Jews. They're on the front lines providing real help
(02:32):
where it's needed the most. They're literally giving food and
shelter to Jewish families under threat. They're building bomb shelters
for children and helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives.
And they don't just respond to crisis, they work every
day to prevent it from happening. And that is where
your simple gift of only forty five dollars will help
(02:53):
support life saving work by helping provide food, shelter, and
so much more. The Bible is pretty clear, it says
I will bless those who bless you, and supporting the
IFCJ is a spiritual stand and it's showing up for
God's people when it counts. So, if you're ready to
stand with the people of Israel, call the IFCJ right now.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Eight A eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight
eight four eight eight.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Four three two five, or give securely online at IFCJ
dot org.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Every dollar helps.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Don't wait be the difference if CJ dot org or
eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ. It's the forty
seven Morning Update and it starts right now, story number one.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
If you want to know.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
How easy it is to get the radical f to
lose their minds, all you got to do is do
what the US Health Secretary Robert F. Kenny Junior did yesterday,
announcing the removal of routine COVID nineteen vaccination recommendations four
number one healthy children and number two pregnant women from
(04:08):
the CDC's immunization schedule. Now, to be clear, he didn't
ban the COVID vaccine or booster. He didn't ban any
other vaccines either, But the left is saying that is
exactly what he decided to do.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Take a listen to rfk Junior in his own words.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Hi, everybody, I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Your age age
as the Secretary, and I'm here today with NIH Director
doctor J. Bodicharia and FDA Commissioner doctor Marty McCarey. I
couldn't be more pleased to announce that, as of today,
the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women
has been removed from the CDC Recommended immunization schedule. Last year,
(04:53):
the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another
COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to
support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most
countries have stopped recommending it for children.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise
to make America healthy again.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Make America healthy again. That was the promise of Donald Trump.
Now let's be clear also about the facts. In this announcement.
The US is now joining several other nations in tailoring
COVID nineteen vaccination strategies to prioritize high risk groups, potentially
streamlining public health efforts. There's also an emphasis on data
(05:43):
driven decisions. The FDA commissioner there you heard, highlight the
lack of evidence supporting the need for routine COVID nineteen
vaccinations in healthy children, suggesting a move towards more evidence
based recommendations, and they also talked about resource optimization. By
(06:03):
concentrating vaccination resources on populations most at risk, such as
older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions, the health
care system may enhance its efficiency and effectiveness in combating
COVID nineteen. Also because of this move and finally, increasing
public autonomy, the policy change will empower individuals as well
(06:29):
as families to make personalized health decisions regarding COVID nineteen
vaccinations moving forward. The administration says this will foster a
sense of autonomy and trust in public health directives again
after so many Americans lost faith in the system completely,
especially with the mandates and the lack of the effectiveness
(06:51):
of the COVID nineteen vaccine schedule. Our FK Junior make
it clear this is part of Donald Trump's plan to
make a mayor Ceria healthy again.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Next story number two.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Donald Trump's approval rating is now maintaining a two month high. Yes,
the media has done everything they can to bring down
Donald Trump's approval rating, but it doesn't seem to be working,
as the American people seem to be listening to the
media like it as white noise. And on Tuesday, the
economists and UGUB published their determination of President Donald Trump's
(07:24):
approval rating outlining then among US adults between May the
twenty third and twenty six, forty four percent approved of
the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. And
then if you look at Newsweek, the results from the
publication reflected also a two month high for its polling.
(07:45):
Rasmussen also as Trump at fifty to fifty one percent
approval rating firm the Memorial Day weekend. The approval rating
is inching up because the economy has stabilized and Trump
has put a pause on his most draconian tariffs which
were unpopular. That is what Dular University professor Robert Collins
(08:05):
said in a backhanded compliment to Newsweek about Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
You can't make it up. Even when his approval.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Rating is up, they still got to figure out a
way to bring him down. So what does this mean
for the White House moving forward? Well, the White House
Press Secretary went on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News
Channel and had this to say about the present's approval
rating and what he's going to do when it comes
to moving forward running the country, and also looking back
(08:33):
at things that happened during the Biden administration and asking
basic questions like who is actually running the government because
it wasn't Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Well, that rasped me some pole.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
You refer to the percentage of Americans who say the
country's on the right track is the highest number that
they have surveyed in their twenty nine year polling history,
which I found significant. Let me ask you about the
TRUMPBI reopening investigations into the Supreme Court abortion decision leak,
the Biden White House cocaine scandal that lasted a whopping
(09:08):
what ten days, and the January sixth pipe bomber mystery.
It seems like the administration is going back and getting
to the bottom of some unfinished business.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yes, all of those announcements coming from the FBI cash Ptel,
and of course our great Attorney General Pam Bondi, who
is committed to the truth sean, just like the President
Trump and his entire administration, and committed to an unprecedented
level of access and transparency that is led by President
Trump at the White House. Every day he takes questions
from the press. He talks directly and honestly and candidly
(09:42):
about the problems and the challenges he is solving, not
just here at home but also abroad, and he's demanding answers.
And one of the things he is going to continue
to push for answers on is who the heck was
running the country.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Over the past four years.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
And you just talked about it in your monologue, and
I'm glad to hear it, because this is truly the
great latest political scandal our country has ever seen. We
had unelected radical left White House staffers who nobody knew
their names, running the most powerful country in the history
of the world, and the Democrat Party was in a
(10:15):
complete alliance to cover it up, and the mainstream media
was right along with them. They were asking Joe Biden
what his favorite ice cream was rather than asking him
whether or not he was suited to run the country.
And so we need answers on what took place over
the past four years, because look at the consequences of
having these unelected radical left wing saffers in the West
wing running the country. We had a wide open border
(10:37):
invasion that this administration is cleaning up every day despite
challenges from the courts. We had an economy that was
left in the dust.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You just heard the White House Press Secretary say Donald
Trump is going to push for answers on who is
running the country during Biden's presidency. Now, all of this
relates back to the numerous books that are now coming out,
including the original Sin and the book by Jake Tapper
that alleges that President Biden's cognitive decline was concealed by
(11:07):
his inner circle, suggesting that a group of top aides
effectively manage the administration's day to day operations. Another way
of putting that is they were running the country and
they were elected by no one. Tapper even compared this
alleged cover up to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing the seriousness
of the claims. Now, further reports are also indicating during
(11:30):
Biden's presidency there were five at senior aids that were
primarily responsible for a significant amount of decision making, with
Biden serving more as a figurehead than anything else. Now,
these revelations have spark discussions about transparency and accountability within
the previous administration of exactly who was really the acting president. Now,
(11:55):
while these accounts have led to public debate and scrutiny,
this is the first time we're hearing the White House
say that they're going to push for answers. Now, is
there a formal investigation by the Trump administration into these matters.
At the moment, no, but this certainly could lead to one,
as the White House is now signaling that the American
people deserve to have answers and most importantly need to
(12:19):
know and should know who was running the country. There's
also the question of the auto pen and many of
the pardons that were given out by Joe Biden. Did
he even know that it was happening?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Did he have.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Any clue at all what was going on? And we
also know that many around Biden that were propping him up,
we're apparently doing it just for the money.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Many of the key advisors around Joe Biden's campaign were
making millions of dollars. They didn't want him to end
the campaign. They wanted him to keep running so they
could keep getting paid. So there were some people that
were just making cash. There were others that were getting
to literally play pressident. And what does Kamway Harris have
to say about all this, Well, she had another word
(13:05):
salad and decided to take some swipes at Elon Musk
and Donald Trump, saying, remember the nineteen thirties, in reference
to Nazi Germany, and Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I wish I was joking. Here she is in her
own words.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
I do worry, frankly about what's happening right now in
our world. I do worry that it is important that
we remember history.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
It's important we remember the nineteen thirties. It's important that
we remember that history has taught us that isolation does
not equal insolation. It is important that we understand and
remember history, which taught us the interdependence and interconnection between nations,
(14:05):
history that has taught us the important relationships of trust.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So the same woman that helped cover up the massive
cognitive decline of the President of the United States of America,
Joe Biden, the same woman that was elected by no one,
who ended up being the party's nominee that no one
actually voted for, is now saying don't look at what
we were doing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
No, no, no, We're going to.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Tell you that Donald Trump's administration is no different than
Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You remember the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It is truly amazing to watch the Left do everything
they can to cover up their corruption at the White
House for the last four years.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And finally, story number three It's.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
A pretty simple idea.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
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 a American students. Well,
the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard
University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts
(15:12):
worth approximately one hundred million dollars now. 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
(15:36):
number one. The administration's decision aims 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 account
(15:59):
of ability and also adherence to national standards and higher
education institutions, and then the promotion of diverse educational opportunities.
The potential redistribution of funds, the White House say, may
enhance vocational and technological training programs, offering countless students alternative
pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route and
(16:24):
or going to an.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ivy League school.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
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. But at the end of the day,
(16:49):
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 do it 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
(17:11):
as Trump moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's
more of that story as CNN freaked out over it news.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And a major escalation in the Trump administration's fights 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
cause to the White House moves to cancel all remaining
federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that
(17:43):
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 11 (18:04):
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
driving the administration. They don't like what's happened to campuses,
and sometimes they don't like what we represent.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
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 3 (18:36):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Donald Trump doesn't care, by the way, and he's moving
forward with protecting America's interests and your tax dours.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
You refer to the percentage of Americans who say the
country's on the right track is the highest number that
they have surveyed in their twenty nine year polling history,
which I found significant. Let me ask you about the
TRUMPBI reopening investigations into the Supreme Court abortion decision leak,
the Biden White House cocaine scandal that lasted a whopping
(09:08):
what ten days, and the January sixth pipe bomber mystery.
It seems like the administration is going back and getting
to the bottom of some unfinished business.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yes, all of those announcements coming from the FBI cash Ptel,
and of course our great Attorney General Pam Bondi, who
is committed to the truth sean, just like the President
Trump and his entire administration, and committed to an unprecedented
level of access and transparency that is led by President
Trump at the White House. Every day he takes questions
from the press. He talks directly and honestly and candidly
(09:42):
about the problems and the challenges he is solving, not
just here at home but also abroad, and he's demanding answers.
And one of the things he is going to continue
to push for answers on is who the heck was
running the country.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Over the past four years.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
And you just talked about it in your monologue, and
I'm glad to hear it, because this is truly the
great latest political scandal our country has ever seen. We
had unelected radical left White House staffers who nobody knew
their names, running the most powerful country in the history
of the world, and the Democrat Party was in a
(10:15):
complete alliance to cover it up, and the mainstream media
was right along with them. They were asking Joe Biden
what his favorite ice cream was rather than asking him
whether or not he was suited to run the country.
And so we need answers on what took place over
the past four years, because look at the consequences of
having these unelected radical left wing saffers in the West
wing running the country. We had a wide open border
(10:37):
invasion that this administration is cleaning up every day despite
challenges from the courts. We had an economy that was
left in the dust.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You just heard the White House Press Secretary say Donald
Trump is going to push for answers on who is
running the country during Biden's presidency. Now, all of this
relates back to the numerous books that are now coming out,
including the original Sin and the book by Jake Tapper
that alleges that President Biden's cognitive decline was concealed by
(11:07):
his inner circle, suggesting that a group of top aides
effectively manage the administration's day to day operations. Another way
of putting that is they were running the country and
they were elected by no one. Tapper even compared this
alleged cover up to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing the seriousness
of the claims. Now, further reports are also indicating during
(11:30):
Biden's presidency there were five at senior aids that were
primarily responsible for a significant amount of decision making, with
Biden serving more as a figurehead than anything else. Now,
these revelations have spark discussions about transparency and accountability within
the previous administration of exactly who was really the acting president. Now,
(11:55):
while these accounts have led to public debate and scrutiny,
this is the first time we're hearing the White House
say that they're going to push for answers. Now, is
there a formal investigation by the Trump administration into these matters.
At the moment, no, but this certainly could lead to one,
as the White House is now signaling that the American
people deserve to have answers and most importantly need to
(12:19):
know and should know who was running the country. There's
also the question of the auto pen and many of
the pardons that were given out by Joe Biden. Did
he even know that it was happening?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Did he have.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Any clue at all what was going on? And we
also know that many around Biden that were propping him up,
we're apparently doing it just for the money.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Many of the key advisors around Joe Biden's campaign were
making millions of dollars. They didn't want him to end
the campaign. They wanted him to keep running so they
could keep getting paid. So there were some people that
were just making cash. There were others that were getting
to literally play pressident. And what does Kamway Harris have
to say about all this, Well, she had another word
(13:05):
salad and decided to take some swipes at Elon Musk
and Donald Trump, saying, remember the nineteen thirties, in reference
to Nazi Germany, and Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I wish I was joking. Here she is in her
own words.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
I do worry, frankly about what's happening right now in
our world. I do worry that it is important that
we remember history.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
It's important we remember the nineteen thirties. It's important that
we remember that history has taught us that isolation does
not equal insolation. It is important that we understand and
remember history, which taught us the interdependence and interconnection between nations,
(14:05):
history that has taught us the important relationships of trust.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So the same woman that helped cover up the massive
cognitive decline of the President of the United States of America,
Joe Biden, the same woman that was elected by no one,
who ended up being the party's nominee that no one
actually voted for, is now saying don't look at what
we were doing.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
No, no, no, We're going to.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Tell you that Donald Trump's administration is no different than
Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You remember the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
It is truly amazing to watch the Left do everything
they can to cover up their corruption at the White
House for the last four years.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And finally, story number three It's.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
A pretty simple idea.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
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 a American students. Well,
the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard
University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts
(15:12):
worth approximately one hundred million dollars now. 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
(15:36):
number one. The administration's decision aims 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 account
(15:59):
of ability and also adherence to national standards and higher
education institutions, and then the promotion of diverse educational opportunities.
The potential redistribution of funds, the White House say, may
enhance vocational and technological training programs, offering countless students alternative
pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route and
(16:24):
or going to an.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ivy League school.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
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. But at the end of the day,
(16:49):
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 do it 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
(17:11):
as Trump moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's
more of that story as CNN freaked out over it news.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And a major escalation in the Trump administration's fights 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
cause to the White House moves to cancel all remaining
federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that
(17:43):
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 11 (18:04):
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
driving the administration. They don't like what's happened to campuses,
and sometimes they don't like what we represent.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
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 3 (18:36):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Donald Trump doesn't care, by the way, and he's moving
forward with protecting America's interests and your tax dours.
