stories coming to the White House that you need to

thank you to all the men and women that have
given the ultimate sacrifice for this country. And he also
had a very special message to family members of the fallen.
We'll have that for you in just a moment. Also,
(00:53):
in a shocking development, So Security has now officially removed
twelve point five three million individuals listed at the age
of a one hundred and twenty or more. And you

Social Security numbers and are receiving benefits from our government.
(01:15):
As part of the investigation. Those details in a moment,
and finally the Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino coming out
and saying, there's some big stories that we're still looking into.
You remember the cocaine at the White House, or the
leaking of the twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision when
it came to Roe v. Wade, and the Washington pipe
(01:36):
bomb incident just the day before January the seventh, Well,
all of these are now being investigated again by the FBI.
I'll have those details. It's the forty seven Morning Update
and it starts right now.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Story number one.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
On Memorial Day, Donald Trump did what every president should do,
pause and say thank you for so many that have
given the ultimate sacrifice to protecting and defending this country. Well.
President Donald Trump said during his Memorial Day remarks at
Arlington National Cemetery that the sacrifices of America's fallen service
members endure each and every day, and the dead Americans
(02:16):
owe these selfless heroes only grows. Trump spoke alongside the
Vice President at e Vance and the Defense Secretary Head
Seth shortly after laying a wreath at the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier in his remarks. Trump paid tribute to
those who were killed in action, laying down the ultimate
sacrifice for the United States of America. Here is President Trump,
(02:39):
in his own words.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The sacrifice that they made was not merely for a
single battle, a long ago victory, or a fleeting triumph
decades or centuries past. Their sacrifice was for today, tomorrow,
and every morning thereafter. Every child that lives in peace,
every home that is filled with joy and life.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Every day the Republic.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Stands is only possible because of those who did what
had to be done when duty called, and the cost
was everything to them and to their families. Our debt
to them is eternal, and it does not diminish with time.
It only grows and grows and grows with each passing year.
(03:23):
The greatest monument to their courage is not carved in
marble or cast in bronze. It's all around us, an
American nation, three hundred and twenty five million strunk, which
will soon be greater than it has ever been before.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It will be. The President was not done there. He
also talked about the gold Star Family members, and here
is what he had to say.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
For the families of the fallen. You feel the absence
of your heroes every day, and the family He's a
great families, is a wonderful families. In the familiar laugh
no longer heard the empty space Sunday dinner, or the
want of a hug or a pat on the back
that will.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Never come again.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Every goal star, family, fight, say battle long after the
victory has won. And today we lift you up and
we hold you high. Thank you, thank you, thank you
for giving America the brightest light in your lives. That's
what you've done. We will never ever forget our fallen heroes,
and we will never forget our debt to you.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
The President making it clear that as long as he
is in office, we will honor those who've given the
ultimate sacrifice. He said, each of the service members who
has made the supreme sacrifice for our nation has also
left an unfillable void and an unbreakable silence in the
lives of all who love them. For the families of
(04:48):
the falling, you feel the absence of your heroes every day.
These are great families. These are wonderful families, the President said,
and the familiar laugh no longer heard the empty space
at Sunday dinner or the want of a hug or
a pat on the back that will never come again.
The President making it clear that this White House says
thank you to every man and woman who's given the
(05:12):
ultimate sacrifice to protect our great freedoms.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Next story number two.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
One of the big reasons why Donald Trump was elected
is he promised you, the American taxpayer, that he was
going to make sure that your money was no longer
being wasted your tax dollars. Well, he's making good on
that promise yet again. This time it deals with Social
Security and the fact that we've had to remove from
the Social Security roles twelve point three million individuals listed
(05:42):
as one hundred and twenty years old or older. That
according to the US Department of Government Efficiency known as DOGE.
Now the discrepancies and the Social Security figures and the
alarming ages of some of the individuals listed have garnered
national attention over the last several months months, and as
a result, in March, dogs began to update the American
(06:04):
people on the massive cleanup begun by Social Security. In
a March eighteenth update, DOADE said Social Security had marked
three point two million said Security number holders aged one
hundred and twenty year older as deceased, warning that there
was still more work to be done. Over one month later,
(06:25):
on April the twenty fourth, DOADS provide another update, revealing
that a stunning eleven million individuals listed as age one
hundred and twenty or more were now being marked as deceased,
and the most recent update delivered this week by DOGE,
They revealed that a total of twelve point three million
(06:47):
individuals listed as one hundred and twenty years old or
older are now officially marked as deceased in the system.
Elon Musk brought on stage to about this issue Antonio Garcias,
and he showed a chart of the new non citizen
social security numbers that have also been issued. He said,
(07:09):
it literally blew them away. So it's not just people
that are dead or one hundred and twenty and older,
but it's also illegal immigrant as well. Take a listen
to what they said.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
So, Antonio, can you tell us what you Antonio is
helping out with the Social security So just trying to
review social security where you may have heard that we
found twenty million dead people mocked as alive in the
social Security database.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
This is so crazy. And then you'll notice there's a
strange trend here where how many Social security numbers were issued?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
It's do you want to.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, so let me tell what happened here. We started
at the top of the system.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
You're want to talk about a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
We started the top.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Of the system, mapping the whole system of SO security
to understand whatle the fraud was. And there's a lot
of great people there that showed us in really a
lot of waste and so that came up with a
big list of stuff they're working on. You've heard them
that already, But this is what jumped out at us
when we saw these numbers. We're like, what is this?
In twenty one you see two hundred and seventy thousand
people goes all the way to two point one million
(08:17):
and twenty four these are non citizens that are getting
Social Cree numbers.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, this is a mind blowing charge.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, just this this literally blew us away, Like we
went there to find fraud and we found this by accident.
And this isn't political. By the way, my parents' immigrants, Yeah,
this has been great to us. My brother's sister all
born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is not
this is not political This is not political. This is
about America and the future of America. And there are
(08:49):
a lot of good people in the system that point
of this.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
In this direction. I want I want to honor.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Them right now that work in the garment today who
took risk to show us these numbers and tell us
what's going on. Yeah, So I want to stop them
and I want to I want to honor those people today,
very good people, very good people. I have been from
the DC two Socialuty offices to the border to track
this down, and very good people have helped us along
(09:13):
the way. I want to thank them.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, this number.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
What this is is when you come in the country,
if you're in illegal, there's a couple ways to come in.
You come in through a port of entry, and you
can tell them you're afraid you'll get They'll give you
an asylum case, you'll get an interview, then you get in.
That's one way to do it. Another way to do
it is to just go to the border. Literally this happened.
I talked to Border Patrol myself. Elon was there too.
(09:36):
I went to Laredo and I went to Bronsville. Elone
went to Eagle Pass. You walk up to bord portal
officer and you tell them you want to come in.
They have a couple of choices. They could charge you
with a misdemeanor or a felony under thirteen twenty five,
or they can make it an administrative offense like a
parking ticket. Basically they were told to do that, make
an administrative offense on a last administration, and then you
(09:57):
walk across the border. They do it's called a release
in your own recognitance and they give you an nta
notice to appear, which to peer to judge. The way
times on judges are like average six years. Look at
Grocu'll see it. On immigration judges there's only seven hundred
of them. This is five point five million people. Okay,
So what happens then once you're in the country and
(10:19):
you've got to asylum, do one of these pathways and
we map the whole thing out. You can apply for
a work document. You file a seven sixty five it's
the work form. You get this form called the seven
sixty six that's the authorization, and then Social Security Administration
automatically send you in the mail your SOI streetent number,
(10:39):
No interview, no idea.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
This is worth like just reiterating it's not that it's not.
People sometimes think that under the Biden administration that he
was simply asleep with the switch. It wasn't asleep. They
weren't asleep at the switch. It was a massive, large
scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately
to change the entire voting map of the United States
and disenfranchise the American people and make it a permanent,
(11:05):
deep blue, one party state from which there would be
no escape.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Look, if I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not trying
to believe it. I went through it myself and mapped it,
and Elan is right. This is true that defaults in
the system, from Social Security to all of the benefit
programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for
these people, and minimum collection. That's what's happening. We found
one point three million of them already on Medicaid as
an example. We've gone through on every benefit program we
(11:31):
went through, we found groups from this particular group of people,
this five point five million people in those benefit programs.
And then what was really really disturbing us was why
we're asking ourselves why. And so we actually just took
a sample and looked at voter registration records and we
found people here registered to vote in this population, yes.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And who did vote.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And we found some by sampling that actually did vote,
and we have referred them to prosecution at the Home
mad Secure Investigation Service. Yeah, already already that it's already happening.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
So let's just be clear what you just heard. You
just heard Elon Musk and Antonio show it chart of
new non citizen social security numbers issued. They said it
literally blew them away. They went there to find fraud
and what they found was all of this by accident.
The update coincides with other red flags issued by Elon
(12:22):
Musk and Doge as well. They made waves in March
when he said at least two point one million non
citizens of receiving social security numbers in twenty twenty four alone.
So not only is that true, they're also on Medicare
Medicaid and many of them have registered to vote and
have actually voted. So yes, illegal immigrants are actually voting
(12:43):
in this country. And this is exactly why Doge has
so much more work to continue to do.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
And finally, story number three, there.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Were some pretty big stories in the past administration that
literally got swept under the rug. And there are stories
that Democrats, certainly those in power, we're really hoping they'd
never have to worry about again. That's part of the
reason why they were propping up Joe Biden, even though
they knew he wasn't even the president of the United
States of America. He had a massive cognitive decline. But hey,
(13:13):
when you're doing what they're doing, why not keep the
charades going. Well, The FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has
come out and said that quote, the bureau is now
looking at several of those cases involving quote potential public corruption.
Cases the FBI could look at are the Washington pipe
(13:34):
bomb incident, a White House cocaine discovery. You may remember
that story, and also the minor leaking of the twenty
twenty two Supreme Court decision that overturned Rov Wade. Yes,
the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino saying that the bureau
is looking at launching investigations into these cases a potential
(13:57):
public corruption Bongino's said quote shortly after swuearing in, the
FBI Director Cash Mattel and I evaluated a number of
cases of potential public corruption that understandably have garnered public interests. Bongino,
a former Secret Service agent and you may know him
from his podcast. Note that they made the decision to
either reopen or push additional resources and investigative attention to
(14:22):
these cases. One case they're looking to target is the
FBI investigation to the alleged pipe bomb left near the
Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings in Washington, d C.
The day before the January sixth capital breach, he said.
The FBI said in twenty twenty four that a five
hundred thousand dollars reward is still in effect for information
(14:44):
leading to the arrest of the pipe bomb suspect. Earlier
in twenty twenty five, the former assistant director in charge
of the FBI Washington Field Office told CNN that officials
are seeking quote, new leads, saying maybe alliances have changed,
a relation have changed, and it's time to report on
the suspect. Is what he said to the outlet at
(15:04):
the time, saying tips from the public really have been
very helpful, but as I mentioned, we're still trying to
identify the suspect, so we're trying to release a little
more information such that maybe it will jog somebody's memory.
Other cases that warn't more resources include one involving the
discovery of cocaine in the White House in July of
(15:25):
twenty twenty three, as well as the massive leak of
the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in
June of twenty twenty two. Saying it this way, quote,
I receive requests briefings on these cases weekly, and we
are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on
these matters that may assist us, then please contact the FBI.
(15:48):
Also in his ex post, Bongino said he and Patel
have conducted one media interview together, which was with Fox News,
as you know, a few days ago, saying, quote, we
decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in
order to keep the attention on the work being done.
We have chosen to communicate in writing on this platform
(16:08):
to fill some of the inevitable information vacuum, saying quote,
I try to read as much of your feedback as possible,
but the workday is busy, and my office is a sensitive,
compartmented information facility with limited phone access and response to
feedback both positive and negative from our interview last week,
we will be releasing more information which will further clarify
(16:32):
answers to some of the questions asked in the interview.
One thing is for sure, they are definitely going for
more transparency. But for the liberals out there that may
have been committing crimes, guess what you may have thought
you got away with it, and apparently with this administration,
you may be very wrong.
