Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done right?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, I mean I think cracking down on futanyl, making
sure our borders are stronger. I don't think it's appropriate
for people becoming across the border illegally.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
But but do you know illegal immigration exploded und your
Biden nothing was really done until his last year in
office when he was sure no.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

(00:44):
download button right now. First up, Donald Trump administration is
seeking quote full dismantlement of a Rand's nuclear program, and
the President says if I Ran does not comply, there
will be hell to pay. I'll have more on that
and just a moment up next. In a major move,
Donald Trump revokes the security clearance of former top US

(01:06):
officials including Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and James Biden. And finally,
major poll numbers continue to show the American people are
standing with Donald Trump on securing the border and deportation
of those who are in this country illegally. So now
the media is fighting back and having a meltdown. It's

(01:29):
a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
Story number one, Donald Trump is going to try to
clean up the mess that was left behind by Joe
Biden when it came to Iran. Donald Trump administration we're
now being told as seeking full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program.
That is obviously a huge deal. National Security Advisor Mike

(01:52):
Walt sag on Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, the
President Donald Trump was working towards full dismantlement of Iran's
new career program. Here's part of that conversation.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Can you clarify, is the US seeking the dismantlement of
Iran's nuclear program or verification like what President Obama put
in place back in twenty fifteen, and President Trump pulled
out of full dismantlement.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
Iran has to give up its program in a way
that the entire world can see and this is look
as president. As President Trump has said, this is coming
to a head. All options are on the table, and
it is time for Iran to walk away completely from
its desire to have a nuclear nuclear weapon and they

(02:35):
will not and cannot be allowed to have a nuclear
weapons program that's enrichment to the president, that is weaponization,
and that it's its strategic missile program. Can you only
imagine we've seen the death and destruction that they're doing
through its proxies between Hesbalah, the Asad regime, the Houthis,
and what avi. If they had nuclear weapons, the entire
Middle East would explode in an arms race that is

(02:58):
completely unacceptable to our national security. I won't get into
what the back and forth has been, but Iran is
in the worst place it has been from its own
national security since nineteen seventy nine thanks to has bla Hamas,
the Asad regime and its own air defenses being taken
out by the Israelis.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
So there's still a chance for diplomacy.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
I of course the President has all options on the table,
but we want to be clear this isn't some kind
of you know, kind of tit for tat that we
had under the Obama administration of Hiden. This is the
full program. Give it up or there'll be consequences.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Give it up or there will be consequences. It's very
clear that the Trump administration is not willing to negotiate
at all with Ran on the issue of nuclear weapons.
And the reason why it is clearly stated full diessmandement
and Rin has to give up its program in a
way that the entire world can see. And this is
what it's going to be. We are not going to

(03:51):
trust them with any type of nuclear program. Now you
listen to how this president has made it clear to
the world that this is unacceptable what has happened with Iran,
and that we're not going to do this. We're not
going to allow it. And as they described it rans
in the quote worst place it's been from its own
national security standpoint since nineteen seventy nine. The President of

(04:11):
United States of America making it very clear that Iran
will not have any of their nuclear facilities as long
as he's president of the United States of America. And
this is another example of the president leading on the
world stage.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Next story number two, It.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Is a very big move. Donald Trump is revoking the
security clearances of former opponent, former Vice president Kamala Harris,
and even Hillary Clinton. Trump said it is no longer
in the national interests for those listed in the memo
that he has released to have access to classified information.

(04:45):
President Trump revoking the security clearances of also former president
Joe Biden on the list, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Lisz Cheney,
and several others who have attacked him and weaponized the
government to go after Donald J. Trump. The White House
released a memo on Friday, the red quote I have
determined that it is no longer in the national interests

(05:06):
for the following individuals to have access to classified information.
That list expanded to also include Anthony B. Lincoln, Jacob Sullivan,
Lisa Monico, Latisha James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weisman, Hillary Clinton,
Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinsinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vinman,
Joe Biden, and any other member of Joseph R. Biden

(05:27):
Junior's family quote unquote. Earlier this month, the Director of
National Intelligence, Toulsa Gabbert, announced that she had revoked the
security clearances of several people listed in Trump's memo and
blocked them from having access to classified information. She said
the quote fifty one signers of the Hunter Biden disinformation
letter also had their security clearances rescinded. Presidence daily briefing

(05:51):
is no longer being provided to former President Joe Biden.
In addition to having their security clearances revoked, the individuals
listed in Trump's MIMO have had their quote unescorted access
to secure United States government facilities also rescinded. Several people
listed in Trump's MIMO mostly dismissed it in social media posts.

(06:12):
Reacting to the news. Both Zaid and Eisen said it
was quote like the third time quote unquote their security
clearances were revoked. Kensinger posted a video saying that he
retired a year ago from the military and doesn't have
a clearance before calling the president a dumba. The security
clearance MIMO comes just days after Trump announced that he
was stripping Hunter and Ashley Biden of their Secret Service

(06:35):
protection that looked honestly like a small militia or military
around them, the President saying it this way, Hunter Biden
has that secret Service protection for an extended period of time,
all paid for by the United States taxpayers. There are
as many as eighteen people on his detail, which is ridiculous.
Is what Trump said on true social Please be advised
and effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret

(06:57):
Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden, who has thirteen agents, will
be taken off the list as well.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
While under federal law, former presidents and their spouses receive
lifelong Secret Service protection, but that protection ends for members
of their immediate family when they leave office. That according
to the Associated Press, both Trump and Biden extended protection
for their children before leaving office. But now seeing how
the government was weaponized and the Biden regime used it

(07:25):
to sell access to this country, it's pretty clear now.
Actually it's very clear now that the President saying that's
part of Vanessen stage. We're not going to sit here
and we're not going to allow for people to abuse
their power, whether it's their security clearances that they're selling
for big money to people that want to hire them,
or to the Biden family. The Biden regime having Secret

(07:48):
Service protection that they don't need. The President also made
it clear that they need protection, they can pay for
it themselves, just like any other member of the private
sector does. By the way, you want to know about
someone that actually pays for their home rivate security. There's
a guy by the name of Elon Musk, And if
he can pay for it, then why can't Joe Biden
pay for it for his kids if he wants him
to have it, or why can't his grown kids pay

(08:09):
for it themselves? But at the end of the day,
the bucks seems to be stopping yet again in the
Oval office.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
And finally, story number three, it's very.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Clear that Americans are standing behind Donald Trump when it
comes to the issue of illegal immigration and keeping America safe.
New polls are now showing the vast majority of Americans
are supporting deporting illegal immigrants. Plus, the Trump administration has
revoked the visa of another student engaged with campus radicalism.

(08:41):
They promise that they made and clearly they're saying, we're
not flinching. Now let's talk about the numbers. And this
is the part that is really interesting. This was on
the Sunday morning shows. I'm going to play this for
you and I want you to hear what they had
to say about what's happening with legal immigration and the president.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It has been Donald Trump's signature issue since the start
of his political rise, and he's begun his second term
with fast action and striking results.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
The hours of taken the oath of office, I declared
a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
the US military and border patrol to repel the invasion
of our country.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And on the job they've done.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Preliminary figures for February twenty twenty five show a plunge
in illegal immigrant crossings to levels not seen in twenty
five years, with border patrol apprehending just under eighty five
hundred people during the month. For comparison, during some months
of the Biden administration, eighty five hundred were being apprehended

(09:45):
on a given day.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Wow, think about that number real quick. In what I
just played for you. Now you look at that. And
CNN has now been forced to share where the American
people are on immigration. Now, this is a moment on
CNN that will probably go down in history because I
can't believe they actually did it, but they had no
choice because they had this data and they had to

(10:07):
tell people what it was. And so the poll came
out that the majority of Americans are favoring deportations.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
Take a listen, sixty three percent according to the latest
Fox Names Paul say that they favored deporting those immigrants.
So that's a pretty high number. Can you square that
with what we just heard from Priscilla's reporting.

Speaker 9 (10:27):
Yeah, I think that obviously the President has kind of
blanketed the airwaves. We were saying that all of these
people deported are criminals. And given the fact that we
reporters like Prisilla I, we have very limited information to
who exactly has been deported. The government has not handed
over names. I know CBS got a hold of a
list of names, but that hasn't been provided to those
who are asking for who was actually deported. And there

(10:50):
is a difference between someone who came into the country
illegally versus someone who overstated their visa that's not a crime,
versus someone who has no criminal record, no criminal history.
And based on my reporting, based on clearly Priscilla's reporting,
there are some Venezuela nationals whose family members whose lawyers
say that they were deported, who have no criminal record,

(11:10):
who have no criminal history, that they legally applied for
asylum or were trying to gain status, where some of
them were in the middle of proceedings and then they
were deported.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I love how they're like trying to spin this. They
don't know what to say. They can't believe they're having
to admit that the majority of the American people have
left them. And ABC, by the way, Jonathan Carl, he
had this to say on ABC this week about all
of it. Listened carefully.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Is there anything that you think Trump has done right?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, I mean I think cracking down on feanyl, making
sure out borders Austrongo. Look, nobody thinks I legal immigration
is appropriate.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's Bernie Sanders saying that to Jonathan Carl. And here's
the big takeaway. If Bernie Sanders understands that he's lost
the country on this issue and that the majority of
Americans are now standing overwhelming with Donald Trump in these
poll numbers, is it time for the Democratic Party to pivot?
Is what he is dog whistling to everyone that's a

(12:07):
socialist in his party. Problem is, apparently for Bernie Sanders,
is that no one is listening to what he's saying
right now in the media. And it's because Donald Trump
is speaking directly to the American people and making it
very clear he has a plan to secure the border
and also to get rid of people that broke into

(12:28):
this country illegally, and even Bernie Sanders is recognizing it.
