Speaker 1 (00:01):
Developers. You're not allowed to do anything more. They put
restrictors on the use of a restrictor where you could
take it out, but now they weld it in. And
you take a shower, wash your hands, whatever you do,
including dishwashes when no water comes out, but you wash
your hands. And in my case, I like to take
a nice shower and take care of my beautiful air.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
stories that you may have missed that we talked about
this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
Donald Trump, we're now being told is in direct conversations
with Iran and also talking to militias in Iraq about disarmament. Also,
you may remember the COVID mandate in the military is
(00:48):
no longer a thing. Well now the government official behind
that mandate has been fired. And finally, there is a
constitutional crisis happening in this country as district judges are
doing nationwide injunctions to stop Donald Trump's executive actions. Will
now Senat Republicans are saying uh huh, and they're getting
involved to take away power from some of.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
These activist judges.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Story number one.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's some very important international news the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Netanya, who met with Donald Trump at the White House.
But one of the biggest things that came out of
the conversation was some breaking news that Donald Trump announced
about having direct talks with a Ran over their nuclear
weapons program. Present saying this at the White House, sitting
(01:38):
next to BB.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
We're having direct talks with Art and they've started. It'll
go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting and
we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees
that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,
and the obvious is not something that I want to
(02:02):
be involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to be
involved with if they can avoid it. So we're going
to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting
to be very dangerous territory and hopefully those talks will
be successful, and I think it would be Intern's best
interests if they are successful. We hope that's going to happen,
(02:23):
and we had just a lot of good talks on
a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Now, as President Trump was saying this in the Oval Office,
Reuters came out with an exclusive report saying that Iran
back militias in Iraq are ready to disarm to avert
what they describe as a Trump wrath.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
That's right coming out of Baghdad.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Several powerful Iranian back militia groups in Iraq are prepared
to disarm for the first time to avert the threat
of an escalating conflict with the US Trump administration. That
is what ten senior commanders and Iraqi officials said to Reuters.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The move to to fuse.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to
the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January. According
to sources who include six local commanders of four major militias,
the officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband
the militias operating on its soil, America could target the
(03:23):
groups with air strikes. A senior Muslim politician close to
Iraq's government's alliance also towed Reuters that discussions between the
Prime Minister and several militia leaders were quote very advanced
and the groups were inclined to comply with US calls
for disarmament. The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting
(03:45):
on continuing in their current form, he said, adding that
the groups were fully aware they could be targeted by
US air strikes. The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad
by Reuters at a southern province who requested obviously eminemity
to discuss the sense of situation, are from multiple different groups.
(04:06):
Many of them also it ties to Iran. Trump is
ready to take the war with us to worse levels.
We know that, one of the commanders said, and we
want to avoid such a bad scenario. The most powerful
Sheite militia also saying that it's time for us to
find a way to work together.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You cannot make this up. Why are they doing this now?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Because they've witnessed what the president's doing with other leaders
that he decides to take out isis leaders and the
president making it clear that if you don't get a
deal now, well you're probably going to end up dead.
The commander said, their main ally and patron, Iran's elite
Revolutionary Guards military force, has given them its blessing to
(04:48):
take whatever decisions they deem necessary to avoid being drawn
into a potentially ruinous conflict with the United States and Israel.
The moral of the story is even Iran's military understands
that right now is not a time to mess with
the Trump administration, and this may be exactly why they're
(05:10):
willing to talk directly with the Trump administration to avert
military strikes from a president that says he's not bluffing.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Next story number two.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
It will go down in history as one of the
worst moves ever made by any administration, especially when it
came to military readiness. Between twenty twenty one and twenty
twenty three, approximately eight thousand, two hundred plus US military
service members were discharged for refusing to comply with the
(05:39):
Department of Defense's radical COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. This figure
encompasses personnel from all branches of the military well. In
January of twenty twenty five, President Donald Trump signed an
executive order directing the reinstatement of these service members with
full back pay and benefit. As of April of twenty
(06:02):
twenty five, the Army has re enlisted over twenty three
soldiers who were previously discharged for vaccine refusal. Other branches
are actively reaching out to eligible former service members to
facilitate the return to service. Well, we now know who
is behind that decision that clearly discriminated against your right to,
you know, choose what you're going to do with your vaccines.
(06:26):
A senior CIA official was the one who facilitated Biden's
military COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. Terry Adiim, a senior Intelligence
Agency official and former senior Defense official who played a
pivotal role and potentially illegal role in the Biden administration's
(06:46):
military vaccine mandate, has been fired from the agency. That
coming from Breitbart News. Adiam is a former senior Biden
appointee at the Department of Defense who was performed the
duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
and had decamped in December to the CIA as director
(07:08):
of CIA's Center for Global Health Services until about a
week ago. According to sources, her firing was related to
a role enforcing service members to choose between taking a
vaccine that was under emergency use authorization or being kicked out.
According to sources, now on September the fourteenth of twenty
(07:28):
twenty one, that was About a month after the Defense
Secretary of Lloyd Austin ordered the vaccine mandate, at Ourim
issued a memo instructing the DoD healthcare providers to consider
the vaccine available to service members, giving multiple ones, saying
they were interchangeable even though they were not approved by
the FDA. In fact, per her guidance that she wrote,
(07:48):
she said, the two vaccines are interchangeable and DoD healthcare
providers should use doses distributed under the EUA to administer
the vaccination series as if the doses were the listn's vaccine. Translation,
if you don't have the Pfizer vaccine, we got another
one that'll eventually get approved, so just you know, go
(08:09):
with that one now. Our memo was considered legally dubious
even inside the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
That was reported also by bright Bart News.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
In September of twenty twenty two, a month after Adam
issued her memo, a senior Defense official proposed allowing service
members who did not want to take the EUA vaccine
to wait for the FDA approved vaccine before facing punishment
for being unvaccinated. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health, Threadiness,
(08:39):
Policy and Oversight, David Smith proposed in a draft memo
that would replace the Adiram memo, saying quote, if a
service member, after medical consulting declines, the administration of the
EUA manufactured product DoD healthcare providers should engage with their
logistics change is secure and administer the manufactured bio Pfiser
(09:03):
in tech product prior to any punitive action being taken
against a service member. Right, this actually seems to make
some sense. I don't know what this is. I don't
want it my body. I'd rather wait for the Pfizer
biointech one. That's what I want to do. And what
did the military say? Well, no, that is not what
happened at all. Smith's actions memo was addressed to Adaim
(09:27):
with a recommendation for her to sign the draft memo
with a proposed change. According to documents obtained by Breitbart News,
the draft memo had been sent to the military services
for coordination, and a senior Air Force official objected to it,
arguing that adopting the change could open the military up
for more litigation and possibly force it to reverse punishments
(09:49):
already given to those that had not taken the vaccine.
So now you know how little they actually cared in
the Biden administration about those men and women that are
willing to die for this country. And they looked at
them as a headache. And we're willing to give them
a vaccine that actually hadn't been approved yet. And what
do they do to those service members that said they
(10:09):
had real concerns, They said, you're fired.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, now at.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Least the woman who wrote that memo has also been fired.
Paying off with what Donald Trump said, I'm going to
get back into office and I'm going to put our
war fighters at the forefront of my advocacy.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And here is story number three.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
There is a real constitutional crisis happening in America right now,
nationwide injunctions coming from many different judges purposely to hamstring
President Trump's agenda. Pambonni, the Attorney General of the United States,
saying this about what is happening with these activist judges
and these injunctions.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
The president is going to comply with the law. He
was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United
States citizens to be our commander in chief, and that's
what he's been doing. Shannon. Just since January twentieth, we've
had over one hundred and seventy lawsuits filed against us.
That should be the constitutional crisis right there. Fifty injunctions
(11:12):
they're popping up every single day, trying to control his
executive power, trying to control where he believes our tax
dollars should be allocated. And saying he won by an
overwhelming majority is so important because that's what the American
people want, what President Trump campaigned on, and what he
want on, and he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed.
(11:34):
None of us can keep up with him every single day,
and so it's just we're going after all of these lawsuits.
We're defending them all. We just got a great win
and will continue to fight.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Will continue to fight.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Well, now there are people in Congress that are standing
with the president over this constitutional crisis. We now know
that Senator Grassley is unveiling a bill to boost Donald
Trump in court and most importantly, emit the powers of
these radical activist judges. Congressional Republicans are now hoping to
(12:06):
turn the tide on the legal setbacks of President Trump's
executive actions with a bill to weaken the federal judiciary.
The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley introducing a measure
to prohibit district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, rulings
he believes are unconstitutional and should apply only to a
(12:28):
lawsuit's individual parties involved, and not an injunction on the
entire country. Grassley said the wave of anti democratic injunctions
against actions taken by the president. Said that these federal
judges had become the favorite tool of those seeking to
obstruct President Trump's agenda. Individual district judges, who don't even
(12:51):
have authority over any of the other ninety two district courts,
are single handedly vetoing policies the American people elected President
Trump to implement. Grassli said in a statement from the
four the Senate. In short, I'm trying to fix a
bipartisan problem that has been plaguing both Democratic and Republican
(13:12):
administrations alike. Senator Cruz also sounding of the alarm at
a Judiciary committee hearing about these activist judges.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
It's long been said that hypocrisy is the tribute that
vice pays to virtue. I have to admit I'm enjoying
listening to my Democrat colleagues suddenly discover the virtues of
the rule of law after four years where they brazenly
supported the most lawless Department of Justice and the most
politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen.
We just heard the Senator from Rhye Island talk about
(13:42):
the imperative of protecting judges, and yet not a single
Democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up
outside Supreme Court justices homes, including I might note female
justices like Justice Amy Cony Barrett, threatening their family. And
Joe Biden's Attorney General didn't do a damning and refuse
to enforce the law to protect those judges. Why because
(14:04):
he agreed with the violent protesters and he wanted to
intimidate and threaten those judges.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Center Cruz is absolutely right.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
The left has gone totally rogue, do not care what
the law actually says, and it's now time for the
Republicans in Congress to rein them in.
