Speaker 1 (00:01):
The biggest thing is the filibuster. We have to get
the country going. We will pass legislation at levels you've
never seen before, and it'll be impossible to beat us,
by the way. If they do, they're going to do
it anyway, and they are going to immediately do the filibuster.
And when they do the filibuster, they're going to pack
the court. They want five at least five just now.
(00:22):
I hear it's up to five. I actually heard up
to seven and up to nine, okay, And they will
do it the first day, maybe the week. Maybe they'll
slow it down. And I have friends over there that
are Democrats, very I'm close to a lot of people.
They're going to make DC a state, and they're going
to make Puerto Rico estate. So now they pick up
(00:43):
two states, they pick up four senators. Okay, you think
you have problems, They're going to do all of the things.
They're going to pick up electoral votes. It's going to
be a very very bad situation. And it's done. It's
done as soon as they attain power.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Good Thursday morning, it is so nice to be with
you live from Israel right now, and I have got
a lot that I want to share with you on
the forty seven morning update. We are going to get
back to politics as normal, I can promise you. But
I was able to have an incredible day, a heavy
and hard and sad day, visiting the sight of the
music festival, meeting with survivors, going to the kibbutz that
(01:25):
were attacked by Hamas and the children that were murdered,
talking to their family members, including victims young as nine
months old that were killed for sport. I was able
to go to a military base that was overrun right
at the border with Gaza and the girls that were
killed and raped for sport, all because they were Jewish.
But first I want to tell you about our friends
(01:46):
over Patriot Mobile. Every so often, something happens that reminds
us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford
to take our rights for granted. We must draw a
line in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile
have been doing just that for more than twelve years.
The truth is there is only one provider that boldly
(02:07):
stands in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is
worth fighting for. And that company is Patriot Mobile. Not
only are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing
the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the
only carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
(02:27):
giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup, in so much more,
and switching has never been easier. You can activate in
minutes on your phone from your home or your office
and you keep your same number. You've got now keep
(02:49):
your same phone or upgrade to a new one. And
this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
at no extra cost to you that stand up for
our First and our Second Amendment rights, the rights of
unborn children, and are wounded warriors and those that have
fought for a country and wear a badge. So take
(03:11):
a stand today. Go to Patriotmobile dot com, slash ben
forty seven or call nine seven to two Patriot and
if you use the promo code ben forty seven, you're
gonna get a free month of service. That's Patriot Mobile
dot com slash ben forty seven or nine seven to
(03:33):
two Patriot and make the switch. Today. I'm going to
tell you those stories today. It's the forty seven Morning
Update and it starts from Israel right.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now, story number one.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I want to just take a moment to give you
a recap of what I have witnessed in the last
twenty four hours as I have been in Israel, and
I can tell you that not only is Israel an
incredible name, but I would encourage all of you to
do a pilgrimage and to witness what life is like
in Israel. I was blessed to be able to do
(04:08):
some incredibly hard things over the last twenty four hours.
And this is not normally what this show sounds like.
But I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to
be for many of you your eyes here on the ground.
I've been able to travel to the north, to the
border with Syria and Lebanon. I've been able to see
where Hesba Lah attacks from. I've been able to tour
(04:31):
the wreckage in the neighborhoods that were hit. I've been
able to sit with the victims and tell their stories
to you. I also have gone to the complete opposite
side to the west. I've been able to go and
see the kibbutz that were attacked where families were slaughtered into,
including seeing the home where those nine month old little
(04:52):
children that were taken and killed by Hamas happened. I
was able to meet with the victims and go to
the side of the horrific attacks at the music festival
where friends gathered just to dance and they were brutally
murdered and taken hostage and raped by the radicals of Hamas.
(05:13):
I went to the playgrounds where children were bombed, met
with the families where children were killed playing soccer, and
also met on the military base that was overrun at
the border with the West Bank, where girls were raped
and then shot and executed who served in the Israeli army.
What I have witnessed is pure evil. What I have
(05:34):
walked through in the homes is pure evil. They came
from a group of terrorists who are soulless and their
only objective was to kill Jews. I want to start
by going to the tour of the kibbutz because it
was the hardest place I think I've ever been. The
hardest thing I've ever witnessed to go into what is
(05:55):
a neighborhood that would remind you of your neighborhood or
the neighborhood where you grew up as a kid. Maybe
it was a genuine community, a community of families, by
the way, many of them that were related to one another,
where grandparents would live in one home, where grandkids and
their and their children live in another home, where aunts
and uncles may be down the street, where cousins played.
(06:17):
I mean, when I'm talking about community, I'm talking about
a tight knit community where they worked together. And as
I met with the victims who were there, who toured
and showed me their homes, told me how they survived
and how their family members, many of them were killed.
There was one constant theme, and that was a theme
that these people came and they didn't care who they killed.
(06:39):
They just wanted to say I killed a Jew. I
sat in front of the house where those nine month
old children were taken. You may have seen that video
that went viral of a mother clinging to these two children,
these two newborns, young children, one of them I mean
nine months old, and hearing the story of how they
were taken and how the father was taken well, he
(07:00):
came out to fight. He actually talked to his wife
and he said, are we fighting or are we going
to give up? And she said, we fight. In other words,
we're going to try to survive by not fighting? Are
we going to try to survive by fighting? And he
went out of the house and he had a handgun
which was no match for the literally, at one point
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of fighters that came across
(07:23):
the border from Gaza, and he was taken by the
terrace and many others were slaughtered there. Many of the
children were shot and killed, and the families were shot
and killed in front of the door. They're safe, their
bomb shelter, their safe room in their homes. One of
the things that was interesting about these safe rooms, and
every house had a safe room, because you're so close
(07:44):
to the border and there's so many bombings that happened,
is that most of the people did not have a
lock on the inside of their safe room, which for
many of them became death rooms. And you may say
to yourself, why would you not have a lock on
your safe room? And I was the question that I asked.
He said, because these rooms were designed to keep us
safe from bombs that were exploding in shrapnel, and you
(08:05):
didn't lock them on purpose, because if your home did
get hit the then others would need to come in
and drag you out, hopefully to safety, to try to
save your life. The room was only created to help
protect you from a bomb that came in constantly from
the terrace organization. Hamas is backed by Iran, and so
(08:25):
the majority of people in these kibbutz did not have
a simple latch to keep that door shut. One of
the men that was one of the survivors was shut
and he was saving his family's life, and he was
sitting beside the door having to hold the door shut.
Is on the other side of the door. The terrorists
are trying to kill him. There were many family members
that were killed that were holding the door shut from
(08:48):
the terrace on the other side, and eventually they just
used their machine guns to just put constant bullets through
the door and they would kill the family that was
protecting the children, and then in many scenarios, they would
just set the house on fire and burn the children alive.
I want you to think about what I just said.
Imagine your neighborhood every house being invaded systematically, door to door.
(09:09):
You're either drug out to the street and killed. You
try to fight back against hundreds of invaders, which you're
not going to win, or you're burned alive and your
children are burned alive, or you're taken hostage. That is
all because they were Jewish. Walking through this kibbutz, looking
at the pictures that were put at the front of
each house of who lived in that house, it was
(09:31):
heartbreak seeing how the place had been in essence left
exactly how it was on that day, Seeing the bicycles
leaning up against the homes, seeing the tricycles that were
pushed over outside the front door where you would leave
most outside toys, seeing the basketball goals and the basketballs
that had not moved since the day these people were slaughtered.
(09:52):
And going into the homes and seeing where these people
took their last breast, where they lost their lives, and
knowing what they might have felt looking at the bullet
holes coming through the doors of their safe rooms that
were supposed to keep them safe from bombs, and the
kibbutz that I went into, the worst part about it
was that nobody came to save them from the military
(10:12):
that the one kibbutz where the military didn't show up.
Now you may ask yourself why it was a question
I did, like, how is that even possible? And what
I found out from going to a military base that
was also overrun and the girls there went to their
safe room. That was six in the morning. There was
thirty to forty girls who were serving in their military
and only four of them were armed because they were
(10:34):
woken up by the attack and they were overrun by
Terrists on their base. They didn't have time to get
into their uniforms or even grab their guns, so there
was only four of them that were armed, and they
were huddled down and they were hiding trying to save
their lives on their own military base. So they could
have never imagined was going to happen. And many of
(10:55):
their commanders had already been killed outside trying to defend
the base. They were being overrun. And so what I
want learned was a is the majority of people that
were higher up in the military in Israel were killed
in the first hour of the attack, and so then
chaos erupted because no one was giving orders anymore, because
everyone that had the ability to give orders had died. Now,
something that's interesting about Israel is a little bit different
(11:17):
than our military is the commanders are always the highest
rank at the front, leading the charge. They do not
stay back to give orders, and so the entire seniority
of the military and Israel was just decimated during this attack.
So some of the military that was trying to respond
(11:37):
to this cabolts took fire before they could even get
close to it from another conflict in other warriors that
invaded the country. It wasn't that they didn't try to
come as because they literally couldn't because they were then
under attack and engage the tariffs, and many of them
were dying as well. But what I witnessed on the
military base was so horrific because the military command center
(11:59):
where the girls were in side trying to get help
and talking and explained that they were under attack and
then the base had been infiltrated. The people they were
talking to had already been killed outside of the base,
and what the terrorists did is they burned them alive.
One of the young girls that did survive the attack
talk to me about her two friends that were found
clinging to one another's they burned alive in the military
(12:19):
command center. She also told the story of how when
the terrorists found the young soldiers, there were eighteen years
old girls in the shelter. They started to grin and
started to chant a la akbar Allah akbar because they
knew that they had found them and then they could
massacre them. They then turned their guns on these girls
all in the shelter and just started executing them. The
(12:41):
four girls that had guns shot back. They then retreated
a little bit and then started to throw in hand
grenades to blow them up. The majority of these girls
were in their pajamas. Why were they being killed because
of one reason, they were Jewish. They were Jewish. They
then went room to room on the base and they
separate the bases with women bases and men based in
the military, and women serve in the military. Everybody in
(13:02):
Israel that's a citizen in essence serves two years in
the military. It's truly incredible. And they would find girls
and they would take them out. They would then rape them.
The other girls that were hiding could hear the rapes happening,
and then they would hear the gunshots. After they'd raped
the girl. They would then shoot the girls and kill
them and leave them outside of their rooms dead. And
this happened for hours. It's no different than what happened
(13:25):
at the festival where I also went and met with
a survivor, a man, a young boy and his upper
teens who went with ten of his friends and only
I think he said, three of them survived. Why were
they killed going to a music festival because they were Jewish?
They were killed by Hamas because Hamas wants to kill
and exterminate every Jew from the river to the sea.
(13:48):
They were in the middle of basically nowhere, at this
music festival, a beautiful area with trees. They were there
to dance and celebrate with their friends. They were at
a music festival to love one another and to joy
a great day of music. And he said that when
the red alert went off, which if you'rre Israeli you
have on your phone, they thought it was just going
(14:08):
to be bombs that happened. Many people went to run
to safety, to some of the bomb shelters, and that
ended up being where they were slaughtered, because as soon
as the terrace got there, they would just go in
and they would open the door and they would throw
a grenade, or they would just slaughter them. There was
also nowhere to really hide. I want you to understand this.
The trees at the festival are very skinny. They remind
(14:29):
me of like a small branch tree in America. There's
not a big trunk like oaks or larger trees. These
are like crape myrtles, is the best way I can
describe it. There's no protection there, and you have people
that are paratrooping in. You have people arriving in cars,
you have people arriving on motorcycles, and they're just mowing
(14:52):
you down. You look at the hundreds and hundreds of
pictures and I put some of this on social media.
They were slaughtered. They're almost all young. They were all
there with their friends, and there was nowhere to hide.
There was the famous bar that was there where you
could go and buy a drink at like any music festival.
You know what they look like. They're kind of square.
They got a little fence. You go in, you get
something to drink, you go back to the concert. It
(15:13):
was the prime place where people would think to go
for shelter. And when the Jihadis got there, when Hamask
got there, they looked at the people hiding, holding each
other and they just mowed them down for sport while
they were chanting and smiling, because they knew they were
going to get to kill so many Jews, and the
plan worked. I am going to have more to say
on this in the future, but what I can tell
(15:36):
you is this is evil at a level that I
the only way I can describe it is satanic. I
am so sad for the people that lost their lives.
I now know their faces, I now know their stories.
I hope to continue to tell them to you. But
whether it's the kids that were killed playing soccer, whether
it's the kids going to a music festival, whether it's
a nine month the old child who's taken hostage for
(15:59):
propaganda from Humam and the mother who the mother and
the two small children who couldn't defend themselves were killed,
whether it was the older men that were in their
eighties and nineties that couldn't even get out of their
houses that were burned alive for sport, or the girls
on the bases that were burned alive for sport on
the military base, or were raped in front of their
friends and then shot four times in the back. What
(16:20):
I can tell you is the entire country of Israel
is the enemy of the state, and these attacks came
from Gaza. How would you live next to people that
plan and do this and celebrate this. Remember, they were
calling home the tech. We have the audio and the
text messages of them calling home, going dad, mom, telling
their parents I killed a Jew. I killed a Jew,
(16:41):
and the dad and the parents are telling the child
how proud they are they just went to kill a
random Jew. This is my generation's Holocaust, and it's being whitewashed.
And the scary part is the rise of anti Semitism
in the US has skyrocketed as well. Israel is our
ally for a reason. We can debate if they get
it all right. By the way, the police officers that
(17:01):
I met with who were over on, who are also killed,
who told their stories, said that Israel doesn't always get
it right. In fact, they have lots of criticism of
their government for how wrong they got it on the
October seventh surprise, and how there was major failures in
their government to not know this was going to happen.
But I have met so many brave men and women
citizens who put on a uniform and have fought to
(17:23):
defend their country for the last two years and live
in a constant state of alertness, where sirens going off
and bombs going off as normal. And to see what
they live, how they live is truly remarkable because they
want to be safe as Jews and this is the
only place in the Middle East where they feel like
they can be safe. God bless them. I'll keep their
(17:44):
stories alive. I'll tell you more stories moving forward. We'll
get back to the biggest stories coming out of the
White House and politics in America. But this was important
for me to take a moment and just tell you
what I saw.

Imagine your neighborhood every house being invaded systematically, door to door.
(09:09):
You're either drug out to the street and killed. You
try to fight back against hundreds of invaders, which you're
not going to win, or you're burned alive and your
children are burned alive, or you're taken hostage. That is
all because they were Jewish. Walking through this kibbutz, looking
at the pictures that were put at the front of
each house of who lived in that house, it was
(09:31):
heartbreak seeing how the place had been in essence left
exactly how it was on that day, Seeing the bicycles
leaning up against the homes, seeing the tricycles that were
pushed over outside the front door where you would leave
most outside toys, seeing the basketball goals and the basketballs
that had not moved since the day these people were slaughtered.
(09:52):
And going into the homes and seeing where these people
took their last breast, where they lost their lives, and
knowing what they might have felt looking at the bullet
holes coming through the doors of their safe rooms that
were supposed to keep them safe from bombs, and the
kibbutz that I went into, the worst part about it
was that nobody came to save them from the military
(10:12):
that the one kibbutz where the military didn't show up.
Now you may ask yourself why it was a question
I did, like, how is that even possible? And what
I found out from going to a military base that
was also overrun and the girls there went to their
safe room. That was six in the morning. There was
thirty to forty girls who were serving in their military
and only four of them were armed because they were
(10:34):
woken up by the attack and they were overrun by
Terrists on their base. They didn't have time to get
into their uniforms or even grab their guns, so there
was only four of them that were armed, and they
were huddled down and they were hiding trying to save
their lives on their own military base. So they could
have never imagined was going to happen. And many of
(10:55):
their commanders had already been killed outside trying to defend
the base. They were being overrun. And so what I
want learned was a is the majority of people that
were higher up in the military in Israel were killed
in the first hour of the attack, and so then
chaos erupted because no one was giving orders anymore, because
everyone that had the ability to give orders had died. Now,
something that's interesting about Israel is a little bit different
(11:17):
than our military is the commanders are always the highest
rank at the front, leading the charge. They do not
stay back to give orders, and so the entire seniority
of the military and Israel was just decimated during this attack.
So some of the military that was trying to respond
(11:37):
to this cabolts took fire before they could even get
close to it from another conflict in other warriors that
invaded the country. It wasn't that they didn't try to
come as because they literally couldn't because they were then
under attack and engage the tariffs, and many of them
were dying as well. But what I witnessed on the
military base was so horrific because the military command center
(11:59):
where the girls were in side trying to get help
and talking and explained that they were under attack and
then the base had been infiltrated. The people they were
talking to had already been killed outside of the base,
and what the terrorists did is they burned them alive.
One of the young girls that did survive the attack
talk to me about her two friends that were found
clinging to one another's they burned alive in the military
(12:19):
command center. She also told the story of how when
the terrorists found the young soldiers, there were eighteen years
old girls in the shelter. They started to grin and
started to chant a la akbar Allah akbar because they
knew that they had found them and then they could
massacre them. They then turned their guns on these girls
all in the shelter and just started executing them. The
(12:41):
four girls that had guns shot back. They then retreated
a little bit and then started to throw in hand
grenades to blow them up. The majority of these girls
were in their pajamas. Why were they being killed because
of one reason, they were Jewish. They were Jewish. They
then went room to room on the base and they
separate the bases with women bases and men based in
the military, and women serve in the military. Everybody in
(13:02):
Israel that's a citizen in essence serves two years in
the military. It's truly incredible. And they would find girls
and they would take them out. They would then rape them.
The other girls that were hiding could hear the rapes happening,
and then they would hear the gunshots. After they'd raped
the girl. They would then shoot the girls and kill
them and leave them outside of their rooms dead. And
this happened for hours. It's no different than what happened
(13:25):
at the festival where I also went and met with
a survivor, a man, a young boy and his upper
teens who went with ten of his friends and only
I think he said, three of them survived. Why were
they killed going to a music festival because they were Jewish?
They were killed by Hamas because Hamas wants to kill
and exterminate every Jew from the river to the sea.
(13:48):
They were in the middle of basically nowhere, at this
music festival, a beautiful area with trees. They were there
to dance and celebrate with their friends. They were at
a music festival to love one another and to joy
a great day of music. And he said that when
the red alert went off, which if you'rre Israeli you
have on your phone, they thought it was just going
(14:08):
to be bombs that happened. Many people went to run
to safety, to some of the bomb shelters, and that
ended up being where they were slaughtered, because as soon
as the terrace got there, they would just go in
and they would open the door and they would throw
a grenade, or they would just slaughter them. There was
also nowhere to really hide. I want you to understand this.
The trees at the festival are very skinny. They remind
(14:29):
me of like a small branch tree in America. There's
not a big trunk like oaks or larger trees. These
are like crape myrtles, is the best way I can
describe it. There's no protection there, and you have people
that are paratrooping in. You have people arriving in cars,
you have people arriving on motorcycles, and they're just mowing
(14:52):
you down. You look at the hundreds and hundreds of
pictures and I put some of this on social media.
They were slaughtered. They're almost all young. They were all
there with their friends, and there was nowhere to hide.
There was the famous bar that was there where you
could go and buy a drink at like any music festival.
You know what they look like. They're kind of square.
They got a little fence. You go in, you get
something to drink, you go back to the concert. It
(15:13):
was the prime place where people would think to go
for shelter. And when the Jihadis got there, when Hamask
got there, they looked at the people hiding, holding each
other and they just mowed them down for sport while
they were chanting and smiling, because they knew they were
going to get to kill so many Jews, and the
plan worked. I am going to have more to say
on this in the future, but what I can tell
(15:36):
you is this is evil at a level that I
the only way I can describe it is satanic. I
am so sad for the people that lost their lives.
I now know their faces, I now know their stories.
I hope to continue to tell them to you. But
whether it's the kids that were killed playing soccer, whether
it's the kids going to a music festival, whether it's
a nine month the old child who's taken hostage for
(15:59):
propaganda from Humam and the mother who the mother and
the two small children who couldn't defend themselves were killed,
whether it was the older men that were in their
eighties and nineties that couldn't even get out of their
houses that were burned alive for sport, or the girls
on the bases that were burned alive for sport on
the military base, or were raped in front of their
friends and then shot four times in the back. What
(16:20):
I can tell you is the entire country of Israel
is the enemy of the state, and these attacks came
from Gaza. How would you live next to people that
plan and do this and celebrate this. Remember, they were
calling home the tech. We have the audio and the
text messages of them calling home, going dad, mom, telling
their parents I killed a Jew. I killed a Jew,
(16:41):
and the dad and the parents are telling the child
how proud they are they just went to kill a
random Jew. This is my generation's Holocaust, and it's being whitewashed.
And the scary part is the rise of anti Semitism
in the US has skyrocketed as well. Israel is our
ally for a reason. We can debate if they get
it all right. By the way, the police officers that
(17:01):
I met with who were over on, who are also killed,
who told their stories, said that Israel doesn't always get
it right. In fact, they have lots of criticism of
their government for how wrong they got it on the
October seventh surprise, and how there was major failures in
their government to not know this was going to happen.
But I have met so many brave men and women
citizens who put on a uniform and have fought to
(17:23):
defend their country for the last two years and live
in a constant state of alertness, where sirens going off
and bombs going off as normal. And to see what
they live, how they live is truly remarkable because they
want to be safe as Jews and this is the
only place in the Middle East where they feel like
they can be safe. God bless them. I'll keep their
(17:44):
stories alive. I'll tell you more stories moving forward. We'll
get back to the biggest stories coming out of the
White House and politics in America. But this was important
for me to take a moment and just tell you
what I saw.
