Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Chinese owning of farmland in our country is a
massive national security issue.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
And for the media, you can see the yellow is
where all of the farms have been purchased over the
last number of years, and the red is around all
of the military bases where that farmland has been purchased.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Good Wednesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got some major
stories we're covering for you. First up, not one, but
two major FBI investigations, one being launched into John Brennan,
the former CIA director, and James call Me, the former
FBI director, over their Trump Russia probe and lies. Is

(00:46):
accountability finally coming for those that were involved in the
collusion to overthrow the will of the voters. And that's
not all. The FBI is also releasing documents that now
show there was actual collusion, but it wasn't in twenty sixteen.
It was a plot that the Chinese had to sway
the twenty twenty election in favor of Joe Biden. Not

(01:08):
only that, we also have a huge story it is
going to protect American farmland, and also make sure that
Chinese organizations and those connect to the Chinese Campis Party
aren't buying up our farmland, especially close to our military basis.
It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Right now, story number one.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Right now, the Democrats are doing what they do best,
trying to find a way to stop Donald Trump at
all costs. But we also know that there was a
lot of lies that were told about what Donald Trump
had been involved in or had not been involved in.
Is what the reality was when it came to Russia collusion,
and there were people that had top secret security clear

(01:50):
into the highest level that knew they were lying to
the American people over the issue of the Trump Russia probe,
a probe by the way, that turned into a coup
attempt to get rid of Donald Trump and make it
where he's no longer the president of the United States
of America. Well, now there may be some accountability for
those former top level government officials, as the FBI has

(02:11):
now informed the country that they have launched an investigation
into John Brennan and the former FBI Director James Comy
over that Trump Russia probe. The Big Lie, a coup attempt.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations launching their investigation into the
former CIA director John Brennan and, as I mentioned, the
former FBI director Camy over their roles in the investigation

(02:35):
surrounding President Donald Trump and Russia allegedly colluding, which they
knew was a lie. The Department of Justice sources now
telling Fox News that the CIA director John Radcliffe had
allegedly referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to the FBI
director Caspittel, and added that a quote criminal investigation to

(02:56):
Brennan was opened and is under way quote unquote CIA
director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to
the FBI director Cash Matel for potential prosecution, is what
DOJ sources also told to Fox News Now. The sources
said that the referral was received, and told Fox News

(03:18):
that a criminal investigation to Brennan was open and underway.
The DOJ sources declined to provide further details now. It
is unclear at this point if the investigation spans beyond
his alleged false statements to Congress. Obviously, this is huge
now the report of Brennan and Komy reportedly facing criminal
investigation comes, as we have also learned through another report,

(03:40):
that Brennan may be exposed to perjury problems after Ratcliffe
had released an internal CIA review of what is known
as the Intelligence Community Assessment quote unquote regarding claims that
Russia had tried to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election
between Trump and the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

(04:02):
Breitbart News Washing Bureau Chief reported this last week, saying
Ratcliffe declassified and publicly released an internal CIA review of
what is known as the Intelligence Community Assessment or the
simply the ICA of the claims that Russia tried to
influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen election. In a
post on x, Ratcoffe explained that the report underscores that

(04:24):
the twenty sixteen ICE assessment was conducted through a atypical
and corrupt process under the politically charged environments of the
former director Brennan and the former FBI Director James Comy. Again,
this is coming from the current CIA director now. Fox

(04:45):
News also added that while the full scope of the
criminal investigations into Brennan and Comy is unclear, two sources
describe the FBI's view of the duo's interaction as quote
conspiracy quote unquote. Now, as that's marinating, I want to
tell you about something else that we've learned about real collusion.

(05:06):
This time. We're now learning from FBI documents that there was,
in fact a Chinese plot to sway the twenty twenty
election in Joe Biden's favor. Take a listen to this
from Fox News pass Alert.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
The FBI has declassified a trove of documents suggesting there
was a Chinese plot to sway the twenty twenty election
in Biden's favor. An intel source says in August twenty twenty,
the CCP tried to flood America with fake driver's licenses,
then give them the Chinese nationals so they could vote
for the Big guy using fraudulent mailings. A month after

(05:44):
the plot was discovered, Border patrol flagged twenty thousand licenses
at Chicago's Ohare Airport. These were scannable with credible barcodes.
Some even had the same photo and bioslapped onto them.
Thankfully they foiled the plot. Twenty thousand ballots could have
had a big impact. Remember Biden won Wisconsin, Arizona, and
Georgia all within that range. It's easy to understand why

(06:07):
Beijing wanted Joe. They had the whole Biden family on
their payroll. Meanwhile, Trump squeezing Chinese heads against the walls
with tariffs. But why are we just finding out about
this now. The FBI got this intel before the election,
and instead of investigating it further, they buried it. Former
Director Chris Ray even testified to Congress and instead of
saying the word China, he just screamed to Russia, Russia, Russia.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
The intelligence communities consensus is that Russia continues to try
to influence our elections, primarily through what we would call
malign foreign influence, to primarily to denigrate Vice President Biden.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
If this was a Moscow fake ID plot to help Trump,
Ray would have held a press conference. He should be
hauled back to Washington to testify immediately. If Democrats actually
care about democracy, they'd want answers.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
But they don't. That's exactly why we're now finding out
exactly about what China was doing. You want to know
where the real collusion was, Maybe it was the Biden
in China. Don't ever forget how much money the Chinese
were giving the Biden crime family, not tens of thousands,
not hundreds of thousands, but millions and millions of dollars

(07:20):
we're coming in from the Chinese to the Biden family.
And the FBI documents now show the Chinese wanted to
sway the twenty twenty election in favor of Joe Biden.
And it's very clear that there's a lot more questions
that need to be answered, and the FBI, well, they're
doing a lot of the questioning right now now.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Story number two.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
For the last several years, there have been major warning
signs about Chinese nationals connected the Chinese Communist Party buying
up literally hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland. What
was even more suspicious about the deals is how much
of the farmland was around our top military basis. Well,

(08:00):
there is now a move for a nationwide ban on
Chinese farmland sales. The Agriculture Secretary Rowlins announcing a new
National Farm Security Act plan which will implement a nationwide
ban on sales of US farmland to Chinese nationals and
other quote adversarial countries. It also includes mechanisms to clawback

(08:22):
existing Chinese own land, primarily near military installations. Now the
callback of already acquired farmland is obviously not an easy task,
but it was a central element of the plan, and
it is one that is well led by the Trump administration.
And it is a push to reclaim the land already
owned by these Chinese entities, leveraging executive action and federal

(08:45):
state coordination to reverse past acquisitions. We also know that
this is a multi agency US government effort, and they
are now demanding stronger oversight. This initiative marks a coordinated
effort with the US the Defense Department, Homeland Security, the
Treasury Department, as well as others tightening oversight of farmland transactions,

(09:08):
specifically near strategic assets and military sites. Rawlins also officially
joined the CFIUS to ensure security over agricultural investment for
national security purposes, and they wanted to reduce foreign holdings.
Already underway, The USDA data indicates now that Chinese farmland

(09:29):
ownership has declined now around two hundred and sixty five
to three hundred thousand acres of US farmland, down from
higher levels in prior years. Notably, major players like Smithville
Foods the wh Group have significantly sold land holdings now
at about eighty five thousand acres. But the question is

(09:50):
how do we get to the point where we are
allowing the Chinese to own farmlands, specifically around our most
secretive basis. Secretary Rawlings on Fox News Channel the ingram
Angle to explain all of this. Listen carefully.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins is here to tell us more, Madam,
Secretary is good to see you tonight. So as of
twenty twenty three, this is going to shock the viewers.
China reportedly owned more than two hundred and seventy seven
thousand acres of agricultural land in the country. Is this
I mean? Is this a goal of ours now to

(10:25):
have China own zero percent? Could you get that back
from China? Tell us what's going to happen?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, first of all, how great to be with you again.
We had a wonderful event this morning announcing this. I
had Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nome, Defense Pete Hegseth,
had a G. Pambondi, We had three of the country's
best governors. We had several people from the hill. This
isn't all of government approach.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, what that means is that if we're going to
really ban China from buying our farmland or any foreign adversaries.
It's got to be the States have to lean in.
The federal government has to step up. We've got to
have executive orders out of the White House. A law,
there's a law needs to be passed. A lot of
bills have been filed, but it hasn't moved. I don't
know that America really understands, or at least our elected

(11:10):
officials allow.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
China owned Smithfield Foods, one of the largest food processing
plants in the United States, land in their military basis.
I've covered this for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Well it's now all changed is today? I mean today
we for the first time are saying no more banning
the sale of China farmland, working with the States, getting
the bills passed through Congress, having an executive order, but
also Laura looking at how to potentially claw some of
that back, especially that's a national security.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Issue one hundred percent of national security issue, food security
and national security Matter of Secretary. Earlier today, President Trump
made a comment about what to do with illegal immigrant
farm workers.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Watch there's no amnesty. What we're doing is we're getting
rid of criminals. But we are doing a work program.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
But last week the President said something different in Des Moines.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
We're going to sort of put the farmers in charge.
If a farmer's been with one of these people that
work so hard they bend over all day. We don't
have too many people can do that, but they work
very hard and they know him very well. If a
farmer is willing to vouch for these people in some way, Christy,
I think we're gonna have to just say, that's going
to be good. Serious radical right people who I also
happen to like a lot. They may not be quite

(12:18):
as happy, but they'll understand.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Well, I mean, Madam Secretary, which is it? Because first
of all, radical right, that's the majority of Americans want
every illegal immigrant apported four poles right, majority of Americans
want all legal immigrants. Americans always did their own farming.
You and I were growing up. Americans did their own farming.
There were a few foreign workers, but really not that many.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
What's going on here, Well, I think, first of all,
and I was glad the President underscored this today. First,
no amnesty.

Speaker 7 (12:43):
Under said, no amnesty. So to McCain, well, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think President Trump hopefully has earned a little more grace,
not grace, but a little more confidence than those, but
no amnesty. Second, mass deportations continue, but he has been
fairly specific that we need to make sure that we
don't compromise our food supply. So we are going to
mass support, but we have to make sure we focus
on the really bad guys first in the inner cities
La New York, et cetera. Number three, moving toward more automation,

(13:10):
but also moving toward an American based labor supply. You
and I have talked about this on screen, off screen,
that's the goal, and then finally for Congress, our Secretary
of Labor, and others to really begin to fix this.
The President is unequivocal in his support for farmers, but
also weighing that with his support for secure borders and
mass deportation ensuring we don't have that illegal population here.

(13:32):
He remains committed to that, and we're here to effectuate
that vision.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
It is incredible to witness what President Donald Trump is doing,
not only making sure that our adversary is done on
our farm land, but also that we can protect our
food sources and our crops and also protecting American farmers,
and the President of United States of America also making
it clear that China is no longer going to be
calling the shots in the United States of America.
