I believe that at some point in the not too
distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay it,
because the money would take it in is so great,
it's so.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Enormous that you're not going to have income tax to pay.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Whether you get rid of it or just keep it

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Good Wednesday morning, it's nice to have you with us
on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got one
major story for you. President holding a cabinet meeting and
making it very clear he stands behind the strikes against
the Narco terrorists that are bringing drugs in this country
that are killing us. This as Democrats are now threatening
war crimes against men and women in uniform. So what
(00:48):
did the President and the Secretary of War have to say?
We have exactly their words from the cabinet meeting, and
we're going to have that for you coming up next.
But first I want to tell you about an amazing
opportunity right now that I'm involved in, and I cannot
wait for you to take advantage of it. I want
you to take some incredible courses at Hillsdale College for free.
(01:13):

influencing conservatives like myself for decades. They had a huge
impact on Charlie Kirk's life, and even as memorial service
they talked about how Charlie took class after class after
class at Hillsdale College. Hillsdale College is now offering for you,

online courses. Right now, I'm personally taking The Constitution one

and the purpose of the Constitution, the challenges it faces
during the Civil War, and how it has been undermined

This twelve lecture course is self pace. It's another reason
(02:21):

Morning Update. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
(03:08):
starts right now. Story number one, President Donald Trump had
a cabinet meeting, and it's an important one because it
shows just how transparent the President the United States of
America is. The timing was also very important after Democrats
are saying they smell blood in the water politically right
now as they defend the narco terrorists who are sending
(03:32):
drugs into the United States of America that are killing
Americans at a record rate of almost three hundred a day.
Mark Kelly and many other Democrats are now leading the
attack on the Secretary of War Pete Hedgseth over the
drug boats. And the same people that are now saying
the President doesn't have the right to strike these boats
(03:54):
or the terrorists on the boats are the same people
that literally did nothing after Biden drone attacked children. No,
they did not say that was a war crime. They
did not call for the President to be locked up
or the man in charge at the Pentagon. Instead, they
look the other way. This time, the President has made
(04:17):
it clear we're going after these terrorists in these terrorist
organizations who were killing Americans. And the President also showed
during the cabinet meeting that he has no problem answering
the question as the Secretary of War was sitting literally
right next to him. I want to play for you
this back and forth with the media, and I want
(04:37):
you to actually hear what the President had to say,
not just a SoundBite that the media is putting out,
but the President in his own words. And I want
you to hear what he had to say about the
fog of war, the second strike on the drug boats
survivors as the media has described it, and why he
is going after them now. I'll say it again this
(05:00):
This is an unedited version and it includes a Secretary
of Defense sitting right next to the president. So listen
to the President explain exactly why he's doing this and
why I believe so many Americans are standing behind him.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Good President, thank you so much for taking questions with
your assembled cabinet. I wanted to clarify something that you
had said on Sunday regarding the boat strikes near Venezuela.
And you had said that you didn't know if the
second strike on that one boat had happened, but you
wouldn't have wanted it. Now that your administration has acknowledged
that it happened, do you support that second strike? And
mister Secretary, I want to clarify something you had said
(05:36):
in an interview back in September. I believe on Fox
News you said that you had watched that strike live
on television in real time. Did you know that there
were survivors after the initial strike?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, look, all I know is this every boat that
you see get blown up, we saved twenty five thousand,
on average lives, twenty five thousand lives.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
They've been sending enough of.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
This horror, fentanyl and other things like cocaine and other things.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But Fedol right now is the leader of the pack
to kill our entire nation.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Because a little speck on the head of a pin
could kill somebody is very dangerous stuff. I know so
many people with their sons where drug addicts. They had
one little sample and they died.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
They died.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
They couldn't believe it. As far as the attack is concerned,
I didn't, you know. I still haven't gotten a lot
of information because they rely on Pete.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But to me, it was an attack.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It wasn't one strike, two strikes, three strikes. Somebody asked
me a question about the second strike. I didn't know
about the second strike. I didn't know anything about people.
I wasn't involved. I knew they took out about but
I would say this, they had a strike. I hear
the gentleman that was in charge of that as extraordinaries,
extraordinary personal, and Pete speak about him. But Pete was satisfied.
(06:57):
Pete didn't know about second at having to do with
two people, and I guess Pete would have to speak
to it. I can say this, I want those boats
taken out and if we have to, will attack on
land also, just like we attack on sea, and they're
very little coming in by sea. I think we've knocked
out over ninety percent of it. There's very little, kid,
(07:17):
I understand that there's very little. We're saving hundreds of
thousands of lives with those pinpoint attacks. It's an amazing thing.
When you see a boat going along and you know,
a lot of the press would like to say they're not.
You see the boat, they're not maybe drugs. You see
these boats first of all, who has five engines on
the back of about going in weird directions and loaded.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Up with lots of white containers.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
They're volved their bags or things. Now they've done an
amazing job, and Peter's done an amazing job.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Pete, you could probably better answer the question spot answer.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
I think you got to start with the baseline which
Marco laid out.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Was laid out.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Got twenty million people in invading our country over four years.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We don't know where they're coming from.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
That includes Trenda Arragua and cartels and violent criminals.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
They bring drugs, and you.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Mentioned it, mister president, poisoning and intentional poisoning of the
American people, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. So the
President had the courage to designate these cartels as designated
terrorist organizations. A number of us here served in the
military and spent twenty years fighting terrorists like al Qaeda
and ISIS on the other side of the world.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
How do you treat al Qaeda and ISIS.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Do you arrest them and treat them, pat them on
the head and say don't do that again. Or do
you end the problem directly by taking a lethal kinetic approach?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And that's the way.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
President Trump has authorized the War Department to look at
these cartels. And I wish everybody could be in the
room watching our professionals, Our professionals.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Like Mitch Bradley, Admiral Mitch Bradley and others at Jaysack
and so Calm and other commanders.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
The deliberative process, the detail, the rigorous the intel, the legal,
the evidence based way that we're to with sources and methods.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
That we can't reveal here. Make sure that every one.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Of those drug boats is tied to a designated terrorist organization.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We know who's on it, what they're doing, what they're carrying.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
All these white bails or not Christmas gifts from Santa,
This is drugs running on four motor fastboats or submarines
that we've also struck. No one's fishing on a submarine,
and I have empowered them to make that call now
the first couple of strikes, as you would, as any
leader would want, you want to own that responsibility. So
(09:30):
I said, I'm going to be the one to make
the call after getting all the information and make sure
it's the right strike.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That was September second.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
There's a lot of intelligence that goes into that building
that case and understanding that a lot of people providing information.
I watched that first strike live, as you can imagine,
at the Department of War, we got a lot of
things to do, so I didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Stick around for the hour and two hours whatever where all.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
The sensitive site exploitation digitally occurs.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So I moved on to my next meeting.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
A couple of hours later, I learned that that commander
had made the which he had the complete authority to do.
And by the way, edmal Bradley made the correct decision
to ultimately sink.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The boat and eliminate the threat.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
He sunk the boat, sunk the boat and eliminated the threat.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And he was the right call.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
We have his back and the American people are safer
because narco terrorists. No, you can't bring drugs through the
water and eventually on land if necessary, to the American people.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We will eliminate that threat, and we're proud to do it.
So you didn't see any survivors. To be clear, after
that first person.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I did not personally see survivors, but I stand because
the thing was on fire.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I was exploded in fire and smoke. You can't see
anything you got digital. This is called the fog of war.
This is what you and the press don't understand.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
You sit in your conditioned offices or up on Capitol
Hill and you knit pick and you plant fake stories
in the Washington Post about kill everybody, phrases on anonymous sources,
not based in anything, not based in any true at all,
And then you want to throw up really irresponsible terms
about American heroes, about the judgment that they made. I
wrote a whole book on this topic because of what
(11:09):
politicians and the press does to war fighters. President Trump
has empowered commanders, commanders to do what is necessary, which
is dark and difficult things in the dead of night
on behalf of the American people. We support them and
will stop the poisoning of the American people.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So as you can hear there the President of United
States of America making it very clear why we are
going after these terrorists and what success looks like. There's
also one other warning. Democrats are now playing with the
idea that they may come back when they gain power
and start arresting our men and women in uniform and
(11:47):
even the man in charge of the Department of War,
Pete Headset, for what they are now describing as war crimes.
This is psychological warfare. This is a shock being precedent
by a party that we now know is unhinged. Now
we know what they try to do to President Trump.
We know they tried to lock him up, They try
(12:08):
to overthrow the will of the people. They try to
impeach him on documents a new or a lie, the
Stile dossier that were user generated and paid for by
Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democrat National Committee. We know
they're willing to use the government to intimidate, to try
to lock you and family members up if they don't
like you. But what they're now saying is they're willing
(12:29):
to go a step further. Before it was Donald Trump
and his closest allies. Now they're saying it could be
any man or woman in uniform that is carrying out
a strike against these narco terrorists. And what the Democratic
Party is now clearly trying to do is to put
major doubt in the minds of our men and women
(12:50):
that fight these terrorists. This is psychological warfare. And I
am going to make a prediction there's a very good
chance are going to hear even more about this in
the days and weeks ahead. They are going to want
the men and women in uniform to fear them. They
want you to believe that they will come after you,
that they will lock you up, that they will bankrupt you,
(13:14):
that they will arrest you, and that your life, after
serving your country, will be spent in a prison cell.
This is the most shocking part of this entire story.
Is there an actual controversy here? No. I will remind
you there were drone strikes that killed children under the
(13:34):
Biden administration. Democrats didn't bat an eye this time. Republicans
are killing narco terris who are running drugs that are
killing Americans. And what are the Democrats doing. They're threatening
war crimes against men and women for serving the President
of the United States of America with lawful orders. So
(13:58):
that's where we are today. This is the Democratic Party
and we must make sure that our men and women
in a uniform are allowed to do their jobs and
not worried about going to jail because of a psychotic
Democratic Party.

I was exploded in fire and smoke. You can't see
anything you got digital. This is called the fog of war.
This is what you and the press don't understand.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
You sit in your conditioned offices or up on Capitol
Hill and you knit pick and you plant fake stories
in the Washington Post about kill everybody, phrases on anonymous sources,
not based in anything, not based in any true at all,
And then you want to throw up really irresponsible terms
about American heroes, about the judgment that they made. I
wrote a whole book on this topic because of what
(11:09):
politicians and the press does to war fighters. President Trump
has empowered commanders, commanders to do what is necessary, which
is dark and difficult things in the dead of night
on behalf of the American people. We support them and
will stop the poisoning of the American people.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So as you can hear there the President of United
States of America making it very clear why we are
going after these terrorists and what success looks like. There's
also one other warning. Democrats are now playing with the
idea that they may come back when they gain power
and start arresting our men and women in uniform and
(11:47):
even the man in charge of the Department of War,
Pete Headset, for what they are now describing as war crimes.
This is psychological warfare. This is a shock being precedent
by a party that we now know is unhinged. Now
we know what they try to do to President Trump.
We know they tried to lock him up, They try
(12:08):
to overthrow the will of the people. They try to
impeach him on documents a new or a lie, the
Stile dossier that were user generated and paid for by
Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democrat National Committee. We know
they're willing to use the government to intimidate, to try
to lock you and family members up if they don't
like you. But what they're now saying is they're willing
(12:29):
to go a step further. Before it was Donald Trump
and his closest allies. Now they're saying it could be
any man or woman in uniform that is carrying out
a strike against these narco terrorists. And what the Democratic
Party is now clearly trying to do is to put
major doubt in the minds of our men and women
(12:50):
that fight these terrorists. This is psychological warfare. And I
am going to make a prediction there's a very good
chance are going to hear even more about this in
the days and weeks ahead. They are going to want
the men and women in uniform to fear them. They
want you to believe that they will come after you,
that they will lock you up, that they will bankrupt you,
(13:14):
that they will arrest you, and that your life, after
serving your country, will be spent in a prison cell.
This is the most shocking part of this entire story.
Is there an actual controversy here? No. I will remind
you there were drone strikes that killed children under the
(13:34):
Biden administration. Democrats didn't bat an eye this time. Republicans
are killing narco terris who are running drugs that are
killing Americans. And what are the Democrats doing. They're threatening
war crimes against men and women for serving the President
of the United States of America with lawful orders. So
(13:58):
that's where we are today. This is the Democratic Party
and we must make sure that our men and women
in a uniform are allowed to do their jobs and
not worried about going to jail because of a psychotic
Democratic Party.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
