Corruption salary of for a few hundred thousand dollars, but
somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in
net worth while they are in that position, which is,
you know what happened to usaid, We're just curious as
to where it came from.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Fergus Good Wednesday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's so
nice to have you with us on the forty seven
Morning Update. And here are the big stories we're covering today.
First up, Donald Trump and Elon Musk give an update
on going all in against government waste with new money
they found that is in essence, been completely stolen from
you the taxpayer. What's on the list? I have it
for you in just a moment. Also, big government secrets
(00:45):
to be declassified, and there's a member of Congress that's
going to be leading the way on letting you know
about what the government has not been telling you, or
maybe what they've been hiding from you. And finally Democrats
trying to figure out how to stop Donald Trump. Well
now they are leaning on liberal activist judges to enact
law fair to stop Trump at all costs. It's the
(01:07):
forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Story number one.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Under Joe Biden, FEMA took away money from Americans in
need of disaster relief and spend it on five star
hotels for illegal immigrants in New York City. What were
we told? We were told that FEMA had no money
for Americans in East Palestine, Ohio, no money for Americans
and western North Carolina after the hurricane in the flooding
(01:32):
that came through there in Tennessee. But FEMA had an
extra one billion dollars to spend on illegals. How is
this not criminal? Is the question that was asked by
Elon Musk. Well, the President of the United States and
Elon Musk had a press conference in the White House
talking about what they have found. A perfect example of
this is when Elon Musk said that there is apparently
(01:54):
one hundred and fifty year old individuals in America who
are receiving Social Security fits. Now, if you're one hundred
and fifty years old. I want to meet you, and
so does Elon.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You know. And that's the crazy things, like just cross
examination of Social Security. And we've got people in the
ABOT one hundred and fifty years old. Now do you
know anyone one hundred and fifty I don't know. Okay,
they should be on the Guinness Book of World Records.
They're messing out, so you know that's the case. We're like,
I think they're probably dead, that's my guess. Or they
(02:26):
should be very famous. One of the two.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
They're probably dead, or they should be very famous. And
I'm sure the President would love to meet the one
hundred and fifty year old. Notice he didn't say one.
It was plural that have been receiving these checks that
your tax dours have been going too. Now, what are
the Democrats doing to try to stop one hundred and
fifty year olds from getting checks on Social Security? Which
we clearly know they're not alive and these people are
long gone, yet somebody's getting this money. It is called
(02:50):
pre corruption. Well, President Trump said, guess what. The Democrats
aren't trying to help clean up the system at all.
In fact, what they're actually trying to do is come
after us to stop us from it exposing your tax
dollars being wasted.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse.
And I think it's very important, and that's one of
the reasons I got elected. I say we're going to
do that. Nobody had any idea was that bad and
that corrupt. And it seems hard to believe that judges
want to try and stop us from looking for corruption,
especially when we found hundreds of millions of dollars worth
(03:24):
much more than that in just a short period of time.
We want to weed out the corruption, and it seems
hard to believe that a judge could say, we don't
want you to do that. Well, so maybe we have
to look at the judges because it's very serious. I
think it's a very serious violation.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Elon Musk also said that those in our government that
are getting rich, maybe they should actually be investigated. What
is he referencing? It's odd, he says, just how many
people have been able to make tens of millions of
dollars off of eight hundred and something thousand dollars salary
each year, And maybe it's time for us to see
if these elected a fits they are putting themselves ahead
(04:01):
of the American people. That could be one big reason
why Democrats do not want to be exposed by Elon
Musk in dooge.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And also, could you mention some of the things that
your team has found, some of the crazy numbers, including
the woman that walked away with about thirty million?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Right. Well, we often we do find it sort of
rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few
people in obviously who have ostensibly a salary of a
few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens
of millions of dollars in net worth while they are
in that position, which is, you know what happened to usaid,
(04:42):
we're just curious as to where it came from. Maybe
they're very good at investing, favorite Busch case, we should
take their investment advice, perhaps, but just there seems to
be mysteriously they get wealthy. We're don't why where do
they come from? And I think the reality is that
they're getting wealthy. That's your expense, That's the honest truth
to it. So you know, we're looking at say.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
We're looking at what we'll say, a handful of people.
You go back to the main statement. He said, there,
it's odd that there are people in the bureaucracy, meaning
in our US government, with a salary of a few
hundred thousand dollars, but somehow a cure tens of millions
in net worth. That is happening all over the place.
We know about the corruption with what many would describe
as insider trading. How is it that Nancy Pelosi making
(05:28):
two hundred thousand dollars a year has become so wealthy,
or Mitch McConnell, or Chuck Schumer or Elizabeth Warren. That
is the question that he is asking and now saying,
we demand answers. And one other final thing. One of
the messages that Elon Musk and Donald Trump wanted to
send to the media and also to the American people
is that hey, we're working for you and we're not
(05:48):
going to back down because we have this mandate. The
American people told us to do this job.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The people voted for major covenant reform. There should be
no doubt about that. That was on the campaign. The
President spoke about that at every rally. The people voted
for major government reform, and that's what people are going
to get. They're going to get what they're voted for,
and that's what democracy is all about.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's what democracy is all about.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The Democrats, and I'll tell you more about this in
a moment, are doing everything they can to try to
stop this because they cannot stand that they're being exposed
with their corruption.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Now story number two, some.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Government secrets like are there aliens? Or a question that
many Americans kind of laugh about, are their UFOs right?
When you love to know? Well, we are now going
to get the answers of what the government may have
been hiding from the American people. Representative Anna Paulina Luna
has announced that she will lead the quote Task Force
(06:42):
on the declassification of federal secrets. Another promise that Donald
Trump said during the campaign, what will be included in
these government secrets that you're going to hear about? It's
a lot more than just quote UFOs, Are aliens? Real?
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
With the stroke of a pen, he committed to declassifying
the files concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy,
Robert F. Kennedy, and doctor Martin Luther King Junior, a
decision not just monumental but pivotal. It is with profound
honor that I have been entrusted by Speaker Mike Johnson
and Chairman James Comer to lead the House Force or
at the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification of Federal secrets.
(07:19):
Together with the help of the White House, our intelligence allies,
the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, we'll be
conducting investigations into the following the assassinations of JFK RFK
and doctor Martin Luther King, Unidentified aerial phenomena also known
as UAPs, and i've unidentified submerged objects also known as USO's,
the Epstein client List, the origins of COVID nineteen, and
(07:42):
the nine to eleven files. This task force will be
a beacon of bipartisanship on the Republican side. Representatives Burchett, Bobert, Burlison, Crane,
Gil and Mace will be joining me, although I'd like
to note that I'm expanding this to the entire governing
body and will be allowing certain members to wave on.
Our first hearing is set for March. The date will
be announced soon, and we've already initiated close to a
(08:02):
dozen communications with various agencies, to include Pambondy at the
Department of Justice and a Secretary of State. This will
no longer be a task force that makes bold promises
only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters.
This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency,
and we will not stop until the American people have
the answers they deserve. We will cut through the bureaucracy,
(08:24):
challenge the stonewalling, and ensure that the American people finally
get the truth that they have been denied for too long.
If we are to endure and thrive as a nation,
we must restore trust trust through transparency. The American people
must be trusted to think for themselves, to form their
own judgments from the truth that they are entitled to know.
We've been treated like children for too long and kept
in the dark by those we elected to serve us.
(08:45):
It is my solemn duty to begin mending this trust,
to form a new relationship between the government and the government.
Let us embark on this journey together towards a government
that does not just serve, but one that enlightens.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It's amazing just how quickly a government can change because
of one man being elected to president and the transparency
that they're now promising the American people on top of
protecting your dollars. Now, I'll go through that list quickly.
The nine to eleven files will be made public, the
Jeffrey Epstein files his clients, they will be made public.
(09:17):
The RFK killing, the Senator Robert F. Kennedy's killing, doctor
Martin Luther King's killing, the COVID nineteen origins, and even UFOs.
What is interesting is how quickly they're moving on this.
One of the promises that Representative Anna Paulina Luna said
is this is not going to be a press conference
and then nothing ever happens. You the American people deserve
(09:41):
to know what the government's been hiding for you, much
of this for decades. So get ready, my friends. Some
of this may be really shocking and other parts may
be well not as exciting as you were hoping for.
But at the end of the day, it's all about
government transparency. With Donald Trump back in the White House.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And lastly, story numbers.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
If there's one thing that we know right now, it's
that Democrats are in disarray. They're in disbelief, they're angry,
they're lashing out, and they're upset that what they've been
doing and the control they've had in our government and
the funneling of money to NGOs and even terrorist organizations
is now being exposed. So how can they fight back? Well,
apparently they're going back to something they feel has worked
(10:22):
in the past, law fair, as liberal judges are now
making unprecedented moves and efforts to shut down Donald Trump's agenda.
It only took them three weeks into President Trump's second term,
and the Democratic Party is clearly rudderless. They lack compelling
charismatic leadership. They are rapidly losing ground in the culture
(10:44):
war that they've dominated for so long. They don't have
any favorable issues or narratives that are breaking out into
the broader culture consciousness. Their tribe and true tactic of
public shaming and cancelation well hasn't worked, even though they
keep coming after conservatives. We clearly now are living in
(11:05):
different times, but there's one element of the activist left
that still poses a significant threat to Donald Trump and
his agenda, and it's law Fair. Many of the same
elements of our system of justice that were used to harass,
to bankrupt, and even try to jail President Donald Trump
in the years past, are unfortunately still in place and
are now being weaponized against the MAGA movement. Here are
(11:27):
several of the activist judges who are trying to take
control of the government for the deep state as we speak.
A judge by the name of Angel Kelly is a
US District Court for the District of Massachusetts nominated by
President Joe Biden, who has granted restraining order against the
NIH funding cuts. Kelly has a history of judicial activism
(11:48):
and this is hardly a secret. Is Senter Elizabeth Warren
said in twenty twenty one that Judge Kelly has made
it a personal mission to bring about change through her
role on the bench. Yes, this is a real statement,
a real quote, and it is entirely accurate that this
judge does not believe her job is to actually enforce
the law, but to actually do radical things to change
(12:09):
the country. Another judge, a senior judge by the name
of Amy Berman Jackson, the U s District Court for
the District of Columbia, nominated by Barack Obama, recently made
news by temporarily reinstating the fired head of the Office
of Special Counsel, a Biden appointee. Judge John McConnell, Junior
(12:31):
of the U S District Court for the District of
Rhode Island. He is a major Democratic donor and he
is attempting to block another spinning freeze from Trump and
is even taking the extreme approach of threatening the administration
officials with criminal charges if it is not reversed. Yes,
this is another judge, an activist judge who is working
(12:53):
clearly for the deep state. And finally, another senior judge
by the name of Colleen Khller. Kutt Telly is a
US District Court for the District of Columbia and a
nominee at President Bill Clinton. This judge stood against Trump's
efforts to cut government access by blocking DOGE from obtaining
access to certain Treasury Department payment records, which handles an
(13:15):
estimated ninety percent of all federal payments. This judge is
also known for having sent seven pro life activists to
federal prison in a particularly cruel fashion. These are just
some of the judges that are coming out of the
woodworks to try to stop the agenda of the American people. Remember,
it is a mandate from the people. They've given Donald
(13:36):
Trump the chance to do what he's doing now and
these judges are standing in the way.
