Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some humor on Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
They've been talking about tariffs for decades?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
How come win these Democrat elites lawn tariffs.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Everything's hunky jory.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
But when President Trump wants tariffs, all help breaks loose.
Do you see this double standard?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I love this guy, love the hell that is. That's
really I appreciate that question.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Good Monday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning Update.
Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the three big
stories you need to know about right now.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
First up, the Trump.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Administration is now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries
on tariffs, massive news that the media doesn't want you
to know about. I'll give you those details in just
a moment. Also, Donald Trump is asking for your help
when it comes to deregulating our government. DOE just set
up a website now where you can go directly to
(00:50):
them and explain how there's a government regulation that is
hurting you your business or your industry. And if they
fix it, they may even name the fix after you.
And finally, a massive win for the Trump administration when
it comes to deporting students who are here on visas
that are advocating for violence and supporting terrorists organizations. It's
(01:15):
the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Story number one.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
I want to give you a very important update on
what's going on with tariff negotiations. This is a story
that the media is not going to want to tell
you about because of the number that I'm about.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
To disclose to you.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
You may remember the other day there was reports out
that there were fifty countries that had lined up to
negotiate their terifs of the Trump administration. Then that number
went to seventy and that is when the media started
getting quiet on the story. We now have a new number,
and the Trump administration has told us that they are
(01:54):
now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries on tarr Now,
I want you to hear this back and forth with
liberal Jake Tapper over at CNN on say of the
Union talking with the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
And here is what Jake Tapper tried to say when
he was bating him into a false narrative.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Take a listen, what.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Do you say to small business owners or even big
business owners who say they're having difficulty making long term
business decisions because the country seems right now to be
run by capricious whim.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Oh, i'd think at all, it's run by capricius wim.
The way that I would think about it is that
in the previous administration, you can sort of say, if
you're thinking about it into football analogy is that they
were running out the clock. And what's going on now
and the Trump administration is across a wide array of
policy areas.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're in a two minute.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Offense, and the two minute offense is pushing, as you've seen,
the reconciliation build through, so that we get tax relief
for America people, deregulation, and of course trade policy.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now, in the trade policy, the whole point of the trade.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Policy is to address the national emergency that we're too
dependent on foreign products in the US, especially if we
were at a time of conflict, and we're doing something
about that. And the Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if
you come to the table and negotiate us with us
and treat us the same way we treat you, then
we'll get your rate really low. And so right now,
(03:21):
one hundred and thirty countries. One hundred thirty countries have
responded and we're negotiating with them, and they've got their
rate down to ten percent.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And so really it's kind of almost a two world system.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
There's a process about China and that's very very nascent,
if at all, and then the.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Process for everybody else. So the process for everybody else
is orderly.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
It's clear people are coming to town with great offers.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We've got japanned Korea, India.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I was just talking to the Foreign Minister of India
and everything is moving forward very quickly, and so I
guess that the bottom line is that the small business
owner has EXPERI over the last few weeks the start
of a process that's settling down really quite quickly.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Gave the one hundred thirty countries or at ten percent now.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
So if you want to know if the administration is
working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes.
And are there people that are coming to the table,
The answer is yes. And are there a few?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Are there some?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Are there a lot? Maybe you could go even beyond that,
as I quote the administration. So right now there are
one hundred and thirty countries, one hundred and thirty countries
have responded and we're negotiating with them and they've got
their rate down to ten percent. So really it's almost
a two world system. There's a process. They said about
(04:40):
countries that are not willing to come to the table,
places like China, and those are going to be tough,
but everyone else they seem to be wanting the best
deal they can get with the American government, and that
means it's an amazing deal for the American people. So
don't buy into the fear mongering. Look at the actual results,
(05:00):
and it's clear that there's one hundred and thirty countries
that are dying to get a deal done with the
Trump administration, who is putting American workers and businesses first instead.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Of last Next story number two.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
One thing that Donald Trump promised was he was going
to give the power back to the people. Well, DOGE
is leading that effort, and the President is now saying
it is a top priority to make sure that you
can go to your government when there is a problem.
Americans apparently that are witnessing crippling federal regulations are now
(05:35):
going to be allowed to go directly to DOGE to
report the red tape issues. The Department of Government Efficiency
launching a new website where you or people you know
can directly report and suggest how to deregulate and the
policies within the federal government that are holding Americans back.
(05:55):
Quote your voice in federal decision making is important impacted
by an existing rule or regulation, Well, then share your
ideas for deregulation by completing this new DOGE form. Now,
this website is now live, and I want you to
know about it, and I want you to share it
wherever you can.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
On social media.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
The website is Regulations with an ass dot gov. DOGE
worked with the Government Services Administration that is an independent
agency tasked with helping support the functioning of other federal agencies,
as well as the Office of Management and Budget, which
is the federal office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts
(06:40):
to launch the website, and again, that website is Regulations
dot gov.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Quote.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
DOGE is combining the administration's goals of adding transparency and
slashing waste, fraud, and abuse by offering the American people
the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions. This stage
led effort highlighting President Trump's top priority to put the
(07:08):
people first and the government bureaucrats last. That is what
the White House spokesman said over the weekend. The website's
main page will direct users to a form where you
can report deregulatory suggestions, which provides users with more than
a dozen prompts regarding their issue. The prompts include describing
(07:30):
which federal agency has promoted a regulation at issue, if
the regulation is finalized or in the midst of the
rulemaking process, and justification for the deregulation, the history of
how the regulation operates, and the title and name of
the agency's leader, as well as other detailed information on
(07:50):
the regulation. The form prompts users also to provide their name,
but the box is not mandatory to complete before submission,
meaning that if you're an ANS it's a whistleblower, they'll
happily take your suggestion. The person who submits a the
regulatory suggestion could see the Trump administration name the recession
of the rule after the individual. So if you would
(08:13):
love to have your name official, well, the Trump administration,
if they take your advice, is going to give you
credit for it. Quote only answer, if you would like
the recession to be named after you or your organization.
Providing your name does not guarantee that it will appear
on any final agency action, and we reserve the right
to refrain from using names that are inappropriate or offensive.
(08:37):
This again going back to what Donald Trump said, I'm
putting Americans first and the bureaucrats last in my administration.
And it's another win for the American people.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And here is story number three.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
A major victory this week for the Trump administration, who
said they were going to hold student protesters accountable if
they were standing up for terrorists, actually if they are
here from another country. Now, you may remember that the
Senate Democrats came out and said we stand with the
pro terrorists pro hamas Columbia graduate, a guy by the
(09:11):
name of Mahmud Khalil. Why did they do it, because, well,
the Democratic Party has no problem standing with people that
are advocating and supporting for the destruction of Israel and
those that advocate for actual terrorist organizations.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
This is not all.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
We also found out that the Senate Judiciary Democrats went
all in in supporting him as.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
A political decision.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
This is the latest of six separate posts that they
put out on social media promoting his cause, declaring free
Muhammad Khalil, well he was arrested. He was a leader
of last spring's pro Hamas protests, and just last week
he participated in the Barnard protests in which activists were
(09:55):
handing out Hamas propaganda booklets justifying the October the seventh attacks.
This again was during the week when Democrats supported him. Now,
it's fair to debate where the line is between free
speech and due process, and there's no doubt that that
is an important conversation half But let's be clear, Democrats
(10:15):
have no problem looking the other way when it comes
to immigration laws, and they look the other way when
it comes to protecting Jewish students on campus as well,
which brings us to the victory that all of us
should be excited about. An immigration judge has now ruled
that make Mood Khalil can be deported from the US
(10:36):
due to his involvement in leading last year's pro Palestinian
protests at Columbia University. The judge coming out and this
news breaking on Fox where Democrats lost their minds yet
again the.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Thinsion that we have been waiting for. A judge has
just ruled.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
That the Trump administration's effort to deport Mackmoud.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Khalil can move forward.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Correspondent Brook Taylor live right near that courthouse and Jana
Louisiana tell us what the judge is saying in there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
we're down the street from the Ice Detention Center. The
courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Muhmoud
(11:30):
Khalil removable. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
was able to meet that burden and again they have
decided that Mahmood Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
(11:55):
of course's attorneys are going to fight this, but how
long that process is going to take? Right now for
him to be deported.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
We'll send it back you hear that report.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Democrats are angry because they wanted to make sure that
they could have as many of these activists that have
come into the United States of America stand up for
terrorists and advocate for death and destruction of the Jews
all over the world. This judge ruling on Friday that
this thirty year old again can be deported, saying the
US government met its burden of proof to remove him.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Quote, I would like to quote what you.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Said last time, that there's nothing that's more important to
this court than do process rights and fundamental fairness. That
is what mcmood told the court, saying, quote clearly what
we witnessed today, neither of these principles were presented today
or in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
The whole process. Quote.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me
to this court one thousand miles away from my family.
I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit
for me are afforded to the hundreds of others who
have been here without hearings four months now. His attorneys
again have until April the twenty third to file relief applications.
(13:09):
During the hearing, the Department of Holland Security attorneys also
spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself on his green
card application lying to get into the US. The Department
of Homeland Security attorneys said that the man was not
upfront about some of the organizations that he was involved with.
Mac Mood, they said, willfully failed to disclose his employment
(13:32):
with Assyrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when
he applied for permanent US residency. Federal officials alleged that
macmod was inadmissible at the time of his adjustment because
of fraud or wilful misrepresentation of material facts in his
status application. In other words, the sky's a pathological liar
(13:55):
to get into the US, is what they're accusing him of.
The agency also accused him of failing to disclose his
work for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, specifically
for Palestine refugees, and membership in Columbia University's apartheid divest Now,
this is another example of the Trump administration saying we're
(14:15):
willing to dig, we're willing to look, and we're willing
to make sure that people that come to this country
are not wishing harm on anyone and aren't advocating for
terrorist organizations. This ruling, no doubt, will have major precedent
in allowing the administration to continue to go after those
that we're violent or advocating for violence on college campuses
(14:38):
coast to coast.

Correspondent Brook Taylor live right near that courthouse and Jana
Louisiana tell us what the judge is saying in there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
we're down the street from the Ice Detention Center. The
courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Muhmoud
(11:30):
Khalil removable. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
was able to meet that burden and again they have
decided that Mahmood Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
(11:55):
of course's attorneys are going to fight this, but how
long that process is going to take? Right now for
him to be deported.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
We'll send it back you hear that report.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Democrats are angry because they wanted to make sure that
they could have as many of these activists that have
come into the United States of America stand up for
terrorists and advocate for death and destruction of the Jews
all over the world. This judge ruling on Friday that
this thirty year old again can be deported, saying the
US government met its burden of proof to remove him.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Quote, I would like to quote what you.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Said last time, that there's nothing that's more important to
this court than do process rights and fundamental fairness. That
is what mcmood told the court, saying, quote clearly what
we witnessed today, neither of these principles were presented today
or in.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
The whole process. Quote.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me
to this court one thousand miles away from my family.
I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit
for me are afforded to the hundreds of others who
have been here without hearings four months now. His attorneys
again have until April the twenty third to file relief applications.
(13:09):
During the hearing, the Department of Holland Security attorneys also
spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself on his green
card application lying to get into the US. The Department
of Homeland Security attorneys said that the man was not
upfront about some of the organizations that he was involved with.
Mac Mood, they said, willfully failed to disclose his employment
(13:32):
with Assyrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when
he applied for permanent US residency. Federal officials alleged that
macmod was inadmissible at the time of his adjustment because
of fraud or wilful misrepresentation of material facts in his
status application. In other words, the sky's a pathological liar
(13:55):
to get into the US, is what they're accusing him of.
The agency also accused him of failing to disclose his
work for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, specifically
for Palestine refugees, and membership in Columbia University's apartheid divest Now,
this is another example of the Trump administration saying we're
(14:15):
willing to dig, we're willing to look, and we're willing
to make sure that people that come to this country
are not wishing harm on anyone and aren't advocating for
terrorist organizations. This ruling, no doubt, will have major precedent
in allowing the administration to continue to go after those
that we're violent or advocating for violence on college campuses
(14:38):
coast to coast.
