Five hundred billion dollars in AI infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I start teams. Youre out there as of today.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
You fired.
Speaker 4 (00:07):
Get out of here, you fired, Get out, Get.
Speaker 5 (00:11):
The hell out of here. You're listening to the forty
seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Good morning, It's Ben Ferguson. It's nice to have you
with us. Here are the big stories that we're covering
today on the forty seven Morning Update. First up, it's
Black Tuesday when it comes to federal workers. They're getting
pink slips from Donald Trump saying you're fired. So who
all lost their jobs and why? I'll have that for
you in a moment. Also, Donald Trump moved America forward
(00:40):
with a five hundred billion dollar AI investment from the
private sector. That's happening right here in the US of A. Finally,
promise is made and promises kept on border security, major
moves by President Trump to make sure that we have
a secure southern border. It's the forty seven Morning Update
and it starts right now.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Story number one.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It was Black Tuesday for many in the federal government
as the head of the TSA and the Coast Guard
were fired on Trump's first full day in office. President
Trump moved quickly to remake the Department of Homeland Security,
firing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the
Coast Guard before their terms were even up, and eliminated
(01:23):
all members of a key aviation security advisory group as well. Now,
Trump's immigration policy changes through the most attention at Homeland Security,
but he's also making changes at the rest of the
massive agency. Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received
a memo Tuesday morning saying that the Department is eliminating
(01:46):
the membership of all advisory committees as part of a
commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that
the Department of homelanded Security activities prioritize specifically our national security.
The Aviation Security Committee, which was mandated by Congress after
the nineteen eighty eight Pamm one oh three bombing over
(02:08):
lockingby Scotland, will technically continue to exist, but it won't
have any members to carry out the work of examining
safety issues at airlines and airports. Liberals are claiming at
this hour, but the reality is there are plenty of
people that are doing that right now. Who's angry about it? Well,
major unions. That's right because the airlines and majored unions
(02:31):
were a member of the group associated with all of
this government bureaucracy. This is another example of Donald Trump
saying I'm coming in and I'm cleaning house. Now. That
isn't all who lost their jobs in our bloated government.
You know. Donald Trump became very famous for being the
guy that says you're fired. Well, Donald Trump is telling
(02:53):
many Biden appointees you're out of a job. And now
it's a he said. She said, no, no, no, you
didn't fire me. I already quit. I wish I was joking,
but I'm not. Donald Trump says he plans to remove
over one thousand Biden appointees, and there are many that
are very angry about President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying
(03:13):
I have these plans because I'm not keeping any of
them Joe Biden's appointees from their government positions. He said, yeah,
you're gone, and he had already fired four individuals immediately,
including a celebrity shift Jose Andreas and a former top
general Mark Milly. You're fired, is what Trump wrote in
an early morning post on his True social platform that
(03:36):
named Milly and Andreas, as well as his former I
ran envoy Brian Hook and the former Atlanta mayor Keisha
Lance Bottoms, who Biden appointed to an export council. Andreas
and Bottom said they quote unquote had already quit their
posts before Trump's inauguration. Trump's post said his personal office
(03:56):
is quote actively in the process of identifying and removing
over one thousand presidential appointees from the Biden administration who
are quote not aligned with our vision to make America
great again. Donald Trump wasn't done there. When it came
to changing things very quickly, he also decided to move
(04:17):
to another issue. He Trump ordered all federal diversity, Equity
and Inclusion employees placed on paid leave starting on Wednesday.
Yes NBC News reporting that the Trump administration also directed
government agencies to draw plans for firing workers in DEI roles.
(04:38):
The Trump administration is ordering all federal employees the White
House announced in these roles on paid lead by Wednesday
evening at five o'clock that according to a new memo
from the Office of Personnel Management. The memo issued Tuesday
to heads of departments and government agencies set that deadline
of no later than five pm Eastern time Wednesday to
(05:01):
inform the employees that they will be put on paid
administrative leave as the agencies prepare to close all diversity,
equity and inclusion related offices and programs, and to also
remove all websites and social media accounts for such offices immediately.
This is another promise Donald Trump made to the American people,
(05:25):
and he's seeing it through clearly, starting in his very
first week in office.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Now story number two in major.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Breaking news coming from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump
on Tuesday announced Stargate Project. Now, what is that? It
is a new American company which will invest five hundred
billion dollars over the next four years building a new
AI infrastructure, specifically in the United States of America. The
(05:53):
President also asked Oracles Larry Ellison, Soft Bank CEO, and
Open AI Sam Altman to the White House for this
major announcement. We're President Trump explained it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's my honor to welcome three of the world's leading
technology CEOs. And in the case of Larry Larry Ellison,
it's well beyond technology is sort of CEO of everything.
He's an amazing man, an amazing business person. But to
announce the largest AI infrastructure project by farign history and
(06:29):
it's all taking place right here in America. As you know,
there's great competition for AI and other things, and they're
coming in at the highest level. We're joined by Oracle
Executive Chairman Larry Ellison, Soft Bank CEO, my friend Masa
Masa Yoshi's son and CEO of Open Ai, and I
(06:53):
would say the by far the leading expert based on
everything I read, Sam Altman. So that's that's great that
you're coming in together. That's a massive group of talent
and money. Together, these world leading technology giants are announcing
the formation of Stargate. So put that name down in
(07:13):
your books, because I think you're going to hear a
lot about it in the future. A new American company
that will invest five hundred billion dollars at least in
AI infrastructure in the United States and very very quickly,
moving very rapidly, creating over one hundred thousand American jobs
almost immediately.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
This massive project is going to create, as you heard
the President just say, there, over one hundred thousand high
quality jobs, and it will catapult America in front of
China in the AI race. Not only will this create
more than one hundred thousand American jobs and significantly advance
AI applications, particularly and this is the part that many
(07:57):
Americans should be the most excited about in healthcare, such
as early disease detection and personalized treatments. Key figures from
the private sector. Putting this all together, joining President Trump
with this announcement at the White House is proof yet again,
as Donald Trump has put it, that if we want
to fix the biggest problems of the world, we should
(08:17):
be looking to the private sector and not the US
government to do it.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
And lastly, story number three.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Promise is made, promise is kept. When it comes to
national security and the Southern Border. The man who's in
charge of securing the Southern Border, Tom Homan, said today
that ice deportation operations have already begun.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Teams are all there as of today. We gave him
the in direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're
looking for, so we've been working on the target list.
There was some discussion about with Chicago because the Pacific
Operational Plan was released, so we had to look at
and reevaluate does this raise after safety concerns and it does,
but we've address that in teams. You all despective today.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Teams are out there today. So what exactly has happened
since Donald Trump was sworn in. I have the list
for you now. It is a list that the media
is not wanting to talk about because it's actually a
very extensive list of promises made and promises cap So
let's go through it so you know exactly where we
(09:23):
are in the process of securing the border. On January
the twenty first, Donald Trump signed several executive orders aimed
at strengthening border security. Number one a National Emergency Declaration
declaring a national emergency at the US Mexico border, enabling
the deployment of federal troops to assist in border enforcement.
(09:47):
There was another promise that was made, and that deal
with the remain in Mexico policy. Well, Donald Trump paid
off on that promise, reinstating the policy requiring asylum seekers
to wait in Mexico during immigration proceedings, which will have
a massive impact on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants
across the border. One of the other major issues Donald
(10:09):
Trump talked about back in the campaign in twenty sixteen
for president was building a border wall. Well, Donald Trump
is ordered the resumption and now the completion of the
border wall along the southern border as fast as humanly possible. Also,
in another major move, and the media lost their minds
over this, Donald Trump decided to terminate birthright citizenship, signing
(10:33):
an order to end automatic US citizenship for a child
born in the US to an undocumented immigrant. This move
is likely going to face major legal challenges due to
the fourteenth Amendment. That doesn't mean that Donald Trump isn't
willing to have that conversation now. Donald Trump also took
a major action which shocked the world, especially those that
(10:57):
advocate for illegal immigrants. He decided to been the CBP
one app. Now. Disabling this app, which allows migrants to
schedule legal entry appointments, resulted in cancelations for thousands and
thousands of applicants, sending a very clear message that you
can't just come across a wide open southern border and
(11:20):
think we are going to let you stay here. The
app right now does not work. And also, in what
is being described as the biggest and boldest move of
all of these actions, is the present's decision to designate
cartels as terrorists organizations. Classifying certain drug cartels and gangs
(11:40):
such as MS thirteen as foreign terrorist organizations would allow
for aggressive actions to be taken against them, including using
the US military. You combine all of this together, and
this marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, reflecting
a return to an expansion of measures from President Donald
(12:03):
Trump's first term. In translation, Donald Trump made a lot
of promises and he is keeping them, especially when it
comes to securing the southern border.
