1. Allegations Regarding President Joe Biden's Health and Fitness for Office
- The first story centers on claims of a cover-up concerning President Biden's mental and physical health.
- It highlights a House Oversight Committee investigation, led by Representative James Comer, into whether Biden was mentally fit to serve.
- A key figure in the investigation is Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden’s former White House physician, who invoked the Fifth Amendment during questioning.
- Questions posed to Dr. O'Connor included whether he was ever told to lie about Biden’s health or believed Biden was unfit for office. He declined to answer both.
- The use of the White House autopen (a device used to sign documents) is cited as suspicious, with claims that Biden may not have been aware of what was being signed.
- The narrative suggests this could invalidate certain executive actions if Biden was incapacitated.
2. Threats Against Donald Trump and National Security Concerns
- The second story shifts to alleged Iranian threats against former President Donald Trump and other American figures.
- It references fatwas (Islamic legal rulings) calling for violence, reportedly issued by Iranian clerics.
- The organization United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is calling for sanctions against individuals and entities involved.
- There are concerns about Iranian sleeper cells potentially operating within the U.S., possibly entering through asylum loopholes or border security gaps.
- The commentary warns of the national security risks posed by these individuals, including the potential for future terrorist attacks.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Where these sleeper cells may be is in plain sight.
Everyone's scrambling because certain amounts of people could come in
here and get in here really relatively easy. The Biden administration,
instead of putting them into HS housing, they were allowed
passage into the United States, can just disappear. They are
working off the books. They can get a fake ID.
(00:23):
They can even get weapons with that fake ID in
certain states.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Fergus.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Good Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Nice to have you with us on the forty seven
Morning Update, and we've got two very big stories for you.
First up, a massive cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive
decline now includes apparently his own doctor who is pleading
the fifth So what happens next. Will have that story
for you in a moment. Also, new threats against Donald
(00:52):
Trump's life, this time coming directly out of Iran. And
the second part of that story is how many sleeper
cells could be active in the United States of America
from Iran as we speak. We'll have that as well.
It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Story number one, So, just how big was the cover
up of Joe Biden's decline and who is running the country.
(01:15):
It is a question that many Americans have asked for
quite some time, and it's a question that all of
us deserve an answer to. Who is the actual president
of the United States of America, because clearly it was
not Joe Biden. Well, we now have subpoenas that have
gone out to answer that question, and James Comer is
trying to get to the bottom of it in Congress.
(01:37):
That brings in the former Biden doctor. President Joe Biden's
former White House physician, refused on Wednesday to answer questions
as part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Biden's
health in office. Doctor Kevin O'Connor invoked his rights under
the Fifth Amendment during a closed door interview with the
(02:00):
the House Oversight Committee. His attorney and lawmakers both confirming
the Republican controlled Committee subpoena doctor O'Connor last month as
part of a sweeping investigation into Biden's health and his
mental fitness as president. Republican Committee members claim some policies
carried out during Biden's terms through the use of the
White House Auto pen may be illegitimate if it's proven
(02:24):
the Democrat was mentally incapacitated for some of his term.
Biden has strongly denied that he was not in the
right state of mind at any point while in office,
calling these claims quote ridiculous and fosse, which brings us
to the lawyer David, one of O'Connor's lawyers, said the
doctor had quote no choice but to invoke his Fifth
(02:46):
Amendment rights and testimony before the committee. The lawyer cited
that both O'Connor's responsibilities to protect patient privacy as a
doctor and the Justice Department's ongoing investigation to Biden's use
of the auto gave him no other choice. O'Connor did
not invoke doctor patient privilege, however, which would have allowed
(03:07):
him to answer questions from the panel that were not
covered by that privilege. Representative James Comer of Kentucky, the
oversight chair, had this to say as they walked down
the closed door meeting.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I can tell you exactly what happened. Doctor O'Connor pleaded
the Fifth Amendment, and I'm going to read the first
two questions that were asked. Were you ever told to
lie about the President's health? He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
He would not answer that question. The second question, did
you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties? Again,
(03:43):
President Biden's White House position pleaded the Fifth Amendment. This
is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel
to the fire that there was a cover up. I
believe that this adds legitimacy to the Tapper book and
the other books that are in the work that are
about to come out that that shows there was uh,
there was a lot of suspicious activity taking place in
(04:06):
the White House with respect to the President's health. This
is something I think every American is concerned about. I
think every American wants to know the truth. We're going
to continue this investigation. We'll we'll move forward. We have
several other witnesses that are going to come in for
depositions and transcribed interviews.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
We will do everything in our ability to be transparent
with the media, be transparent with the American people. Uh.
This is very serious and this was an opportunity, uh
for doctor O'Connor to defend his reputation, to defend his work,
and he chose to take the Fifth And I think that, uh,
you know, that's something that that every American is going
(04:46):
to be concerned about it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Of the doctor patient confidentiality. I mean, there are questions
about you know, hippa and hypocraticals.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
The first two questions pertained again we ever told to
lie about the president's health, and he plied the fifth
had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
But you know that when you have these depositions, people
don't toggle back and forth that they invote the fifth
or they don't, you know, So I mean, could that
have been just giving himself a shield overall because they
don't go back and forth.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Most people invoke the fifth when they have criminal liability,
and you know, that's what it what it would appear
on the surface here. So we're not gonna, you know,
we're going to continue to move forward. Obviously. I think
his actions today speak loud and clear. Again, this was
an opportunity to come clean. And you know he said, oh,
the President was in great health and this is just
(05:38):
a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
He was fine.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I don't know why they used the auto pen seventy
five percent of the time when he was in the Whitehouse.
I mean, this is what it's all about. It's about
the autopen. This is there is serious concern and the
evidence mounts by the minute, that Joe Biden had no
idea what his name was being signed to, and we're
talking about exist executive orders, and we were talking about pardons.
(06:03):
So you know, what doctor O'Connor did today only added
fuel to the fire that there was a cover up
and that you know, Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit to
serve as president.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I states James Comber, promising to get to the bottom
of this, But when your own doctor won't even tell
you the basics of what's happening, and then claiming, well,
I had no other choice. Comber also said this to
Jesse Waters on Fox.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Was nothing asked in the beginning that would pertain to
doctor patient relationship. This was a question, were you ever
told to falsify medical documents by for the president United States?
And he pled the fifth. And then he asked, We
asked the question, did you ever doubt his mental capacity
to fulfill the duties of the presidency? And again he
(06:49):
pled the fifth. The only thing he answered was his name.
The only thing he answered was his name.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yet again, another massive cover up, this time including Joe Biden's.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Now story number two.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
In a shocking story, Donald Trump apparently has been targeted
by Iranian death fatoise, as watchdog groups are now demanding
immediate sanctions response because of the news. A news report
by the United Against Nuclear Iran is urging the US
government to impose sanctions on senior Ranian clerics and regime
(07:25):
controlled institutions that have issued or promoted Islamic legal rulings
known as fatois, calling for the torture and assassination of
President Donald Trump, as well as other American citizens and
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nette and Yahoo.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
The fontoise invoked the Islamic charge waging war against God,
a term in Iran's penal code that mandates brutal punishments
including crucifixion and cross assumption under the regimes in interpretation
of Sharia law. Today, ua NI is exposing the individuals
(08:07):
and entities in Iran hiding behind religion to foreman terrorism abroad.
The threats against the President of United States of America
and other Americans are a federal crime. Each of these
individuals and entities should be sanctioned, indicted, and banned from
travel along with their families to the United States and
(08:28):
its allies. That is what a joint statement by former
Governor Jeb Bush. The ua and i's chairman and Ambassador
Mark Wallace at CEO and former US Ambassador of the
UN for Management and Reform said in a statement, the
latest FATOI against another American citizen, Solman Rushdie, almost cost
(08:52):
him his life with him being stabbed by an Iranian
regime sympathizer. It is time to ensure that those who
threat Latin Americans face the full force of the law.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
The ua and i's new lists identified not one, not two,
not five, not eight, but eleven individuals and two regime
align entities that have not been sanctioned under US counter
terrorism laws. The organization is calling for all of them
to be designated as specially Designated Global Terrorists under Executive
(09:29):
Order thirteen two two four, which is reserved for those
engaged in or supporting terrorism. Among the top targets is
the iatolinou Sar, a powerful cleric known as the Sultan
of Sugar for his denomination of Iran's lucrative sugar trade.
There's also calls for others in the government, and there
(09:53):
are many that are concerned about what this could mean
for sleeper cells in the United States. Of America, which
brings me to part two of the story. Counter terrorism
experts are now saying that Iran sleeper cells in the
US might be hiding now in plain sight. Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So where they could be located, or where these sleeper
cells may be is in plain sight. And that's the
real terrifying part of this is that putting people in place,
as we've seen over the past four years, everyone scrambling
because certain amounts of people could come in here and
(10:33):
get in here really relatively easy. They could even go
to the border and say they seek asylum, and the
Biden administration instead of putting them into DHS housing or
ICE housing and holding them there so they could have
their first appearance to be vetted and whether or not
they get asylum, that was deferred and they were allowed
(10:57):
passage into the United States. For some of these ICE
agents are finding people who had to deferment for four
or more years, and Tom Homan talked about that how
they were putting them in hotels and deferring seven to
nine years on some of these people. So even if
we knew about them, when they get into the United States,
they can just disappear. They are working off the books.
(11:20):
They can get a fake ID. They can even get
weapons with that fake ID in certain states. And when
we say fake id's it has their picture but another
official driver's license number that nobody checks the details about.
So the ability to get these people in here and
put them into sales and instruct them on what they
(11:40):
are to do if activated is very simple. But we've
seen multiple attacks by people who didn't sneak in and
people who were born here. The Sarnef brothers, you know,
for instance, they didn't sneak into the United States and
they carried out a massive attack at the Boston marathon.
So this is the hard part about terrorism. It can
(12:02):
happen anywhere at any time, and these individuals can as
long as they don't raise a ruckus.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
They may not.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Even know what they're going to be called to do.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So here we are with another example of what wide
open borders have done in this country to our national security,
and the terrorism experts are warning us that it's time
for us to find these illegal immigrants, specifically those that
are staying here from Iran, and make sure that we
keep this country safe.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Including Donald Trump.
