Speaker 1 (00:01):
This President will stand up for Americans of all religions,
of all faiths, of all creeds, and we will continue
to look at policy measures and actions that we can
take in addition to the actions that have already been
taken to curb this antisemitic violence into Jewish Americans at
home across the country. This President has you back.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Good Wednesday morning. It's so nice to have you on
the forty seven Morning Update. And here are two very
big stories that we have for you this morning. First up,
Republicans are saying it's time for accountability when it comes
to taking advantage of government programs, including food stamps and
also medical health care. Why is it the Democrats are
(00:43):
now attacking Republicans after they used to be in favor
of this type of accountability. And how many lazy people
are taking all of our tax dollars. Well, we're going
to break that down for you in just a moment.
And also in a shocking story, Chinese national so now
been charged with smuggling agro terrorism weapons into the US
(01:04):
and doing research at American universities. It could cost us
billions of dollars and as threat to all of our agriculture.
I have the details of what the Trump administration is
doing to stop it in just a second. It's the
forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Story number one.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
When Donald Trump ran for president, he promised the American
people accountability, especially with waste, fraud and abuse. We know
what has been uncovered just through DOGE, but there's also
another type of accountability the President talked about, and that
is making sure that people aren't taking advantage of American
government programs because they're just being lazy. A great example
(01:47):
of this is the issue of work requirements for food stamps.
Republican lawmakers, back by former President Donald Trump, are now
advancing legislation to impose stricter work requirements on federal assistant
programs that also include Medicaid and SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition
(02:08):
Assistance program also known as food stamps. The initiative is
part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, a comprehensive tax
and spending reform package that passed the House on May
the twenty second. The bill aims to offset four point
five trillion in tax cuts by reducing federal spending, including
significant cuts to medicaid fraud and snap fraud. Also allowing
(02:34):
for work requirements so that you can't just be lazy
taking advantage of the American taxpayer. Now, Republicans have been
very clear about this. They have argued that these work
requirements promote self sufficiency and reduce fraud. House Speaker Mike
Johnson has emphasized that the changes are designed to ensure
(02:55):
that able bodied American adults without dependence contribute to the workforce.
A study by the American Enterprise Institute found that non
disabled Medicaid recipients without children spend on average four point
two hours daily watching TV or playing video games, supporting
(03:16):
the GOP's stance on encouraging employment among this group. Now,
there's some hypocrisy that I'm going to expose for you
right now when it comes to the left, and I'm
going to play for you a montage of Democrats once
championing the welfare work requirements that they now are claiming
are quote abusive. Now, if you'll make sure that you
(03:39):
share this podcast wherever you can on social media and
also subscribe the shows, you don't miss any of this
information When I put it out, now would be the
time to do it now, Democrats are strongly opposing now
in twenty twenty five the work requirements they're arguing that
they quote would disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including caregivers, individuals
(04:04):
with intermediate employment, and those with health issues not classified
as disabilities.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Former President Barack Obama even criticized the bills, sitting it
could strip healthcare coverage, he claimed from millions of Americans,
including seven point six million losing Medicaid and three point
one million losing marketplace insurance. Critics are also saying that
similar work requirements in states like Arkansas and Georgia have
(04:29):
led to significant coverage losses without substantial gains and employment. Well, so,
why is it now that Democrats are obsessed with helping
people commit fraud and also just being lazy, Especially when
you go back and listen to what they've said in
the past, It's pretty simple. They're trying to buy votes
now of people they believe are willing to vote for
(04:51):
them as long as they don't make them work and
take care of themselves or act like adults. So let
me just remind the Democrats of their hypocrisy. Here's the
mond tize that we put together to remind them of
their own words. Even Bill Clinton got in on the action.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Nearly thirty years ago, Robert Kennedy said, work is the
meaning of what this country is all about. We needed
as individuals, we need to sense it in our fellow citizens,
and we need it as a society and as a people.
He was right then, and it's right now. From now on,
our nation's answer to this great social challenge will no
longer be an ever ending cycle of welfare. It will
(05:27):
be the dignity, the power, and the ethic of work.
Today we are taking an historic chance to make welfare
what it was meant to be, a second chance, not
a way of life. This bill will help people to
go to work, so they can stop drawing a welfare
check and start drawing a paycheck. It is now clearly
better to go to work than to stay on welfare,
clearly better because of actions taken by the Congress in
(05:49):
this session. It is clearly better to end the terrible,
almost physical isolation of huge numbers of poor people in
their children from the rest of mainstream America.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
We have to do that.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Today.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
We are ending welfare as we know it, But I
hope this day will be remembered not for what it ended,
but for what it began. A new day that offers hope,
honors responsibility, rewards work, and changes the terms of the debate.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
For too many. Welfare has been a way of life
for too long. It has condemned too many on welfare
to a lifetime at the margins of our society. Today
we start to change all that.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Anyone who wants to receive welfare must sign an individual
responsibility contract so that they're forced to agree upfront to
the conditions placed on receiving the benefit, and so that
they will have a plan from day one on how
to get themselves off of welfare. Put them to work
and make them want to go to work, and make
(06:46):
it reasonable for them.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
To go to work.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Be mandatory work requirement for anyone receiving welfare.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
They actually have charged and run ads saying that President
Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare
reform bill that moved millions of people from welfare to work.
Oh wait, the requirement was for more work, not less.
I am telling you the claim that President Obama weaken
welfare reforms work requirement is just not true.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Best anti poverty program as a job which confers not
just income, but structure and dignity and a sense of
connection to community.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Total and utter hypocrisy from the left. Now, as the
bill moves to the Senate, it faces resistance from both
Democrat and Republican holdouts who are concerned about the potential
impact on their constituents, and they also claim the national debt.
The reality is, this plan spearheaded by Donald Trump is
(07:42):
one that's long overdue and one that virtually every major
leader in the Democratic Party in the past has supported.
So why are they not supporting it now? Solely because
they're trying to buy votes and allow people to take
advantage of you, the taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now. Story number two.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Is it's a story that you may only have heard
about if you lived in Detroit and we're watching the
local news. Chinese nationals now charge was smuggling agro terrorism
weapon into the United States of America. The question you
should be asking yourself is this, why would the Chinese
do this?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
And the second.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Question you should be asking yourself is why is the
media not warning you about what just happened. Now, these
two Chinese nationals have been charged with conspiracy, fraud, and
smuggling a deadly biopathogen into the United States of America,
And as I said a moment ago, if you weren't
in Detroit, you probably didn't know that this threat to
(08:41):
our entire nation even happen. How did the Detroit Channel
seven News cover it, Well, here's what they had to
say about the pathogen coming through their airport.
Speaker 10 (08:51):
Now to two Chinese nationals with ties to the University
of Michigan facing federal charges, accused of smuggling a dangerous
biological agent through Detroit Metro Airport.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
Thirty three year old Yin qing gn and her boyfriend
Xi Yung Lu are charged with conspiracy, smuggling, making false
statements to investigators, and visa fraud.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
Here's why this COUDE had been such a big deal.
Federal prosecutors calling the pathogen a potential agro terrorism weapon
that could be used for targeting crops like wheat, barley, corn,
and rice.
Speaker 11 (09:24):
Seven News Detroit reporter Frozjavid was in federal court and
has more.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
On Tuesday, thirty three year old un Chingjion made her
initial appearance at the federal courthouse in downtown Detroit. Right
behind me in front of Magistrate Judge Kimberly Altman Jian,
a postdoc research fellow at the University of Michigan from China,
has been charged with smuggling a biological pathogen that has
been described as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that is
(09:51):
kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You kind of just don't understand why something like this
would happen.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
U of M students Camilla Webb and ton Vi Deega
are trying to wrap their heads around how it all happened.
This twenty five page federal complaint outlines how the alleged
crime transpired at Detroit Metro Airport. On July twenty seventh,
twenty twenty four, US Customs and Border Protection officers detained
Jeon's thirty four year old boyfriend, Lunyong Leo, also a
Chinese national, for carrying Fusarium gramminarium of plant based pathogen.
(10:19):
The complaint describes this fungus as capable of producing microtoxins
that adversely affects crops, humans, and animals, causing billions of
dollars in economic losses globally each year. During the investigation,
Leo initially denied possessing the pathogen, but later admitted to
bringing it into the country for research at the University
of Michigan, where Jeon worked in the lab.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It's kind of shocking that our resources are being used
for something like this.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
A joint investigation by the FBI and CBP reviewed electronic
communications between Leo and Jeon. Evidence showed discussions on shipping
biological materials and research activities at the lab prior to
Leo's arrival. Additionally, electronic records indicate Genas involvement in previous
smuggling activities.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, I would have never expected something like that to
happen at our school.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Investigators also found evidence linking Jion to the Chinese Communist
Party and receiving funding for her postdoctoral work from a
foundation largely supported by the Chinese government.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Now, Gion is being held in federal custody until Thursday,
June fifth. That's when Magistrate Judge Altman will decide on
Jion's detention or bond at the next hearing. Meanwhile, Gion's boyfriend, Leo,
was denied entry into the US and was sent back.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
To China on the day of the incident.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
From downtown, I'm Pada's job seven US Detroit.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Why is it that you're not hearing about this nationwide.
Why is it that a story this big, that could
have this big of an impact on our lives in
America is just being covered up by the mainstream media.
Thank goodness. The FBI director Cash Pttel put out a
lengthy statement bringing all this information to the public's saying
(12:01):
quote new I can confirm that the FBI arrested a
Chinese national within the United States who allegedly smuggled a
dangerous biological pathogen into the country. The individual is alleged
to have smuggled a dangerous fungus, which is a agro
terrorism agent, into the US to research at the University
of Michigan, where she works. This fungus can cause a
(12:23):
disease called head light, a disease of wheat, barley, and rice,
causing significant health issues in both humans and livestock. It
is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide
each year. Evidence also indicates Jelina had expressed loyal to
the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from the
(12:45):
Chinese government for similar work on the pathogen in China.
Now the FBI director also talks about her boyfriend, also
charged the complaint, working at a Chinese university where he
conducts research on the same pathogen. They also say that
he lied and then admitted that he also smuggled this
pathogen into America through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport so that
(13:08):
he could also conduct research at the University of Michigan. Now,
both these individuals have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods
in the United States, false statements, and also visa fraud. Now,
then the FBI director says, this this case is a
sobering reminder. Chinese Communist Party is working around the clock
to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and
(13:35):
target our food supply, which would have grave consequences, putting
American lives and also our economy at serious risk. Your
FBI will continue working tirelessly to be on guard against it.
This is exactly why the American people voted for Donald Trump,
because he was going to put people in charge like
Caspittel to tell you what's actually happening. Now, it's sad
(13:58):
that only people into de Troit know the whole story
as we played for you, and I hope you'll take
it and share it everywhere you can.
