Blue States Flood the Zone With Anti-Deportation Legislation · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And Mr. President, it has taken a lot of people
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to make this happen.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Why was it important to you to bring IndyCar to
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: the streets of D.C.? Well, Roger told me they've been
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: trying to do it for 20 years and he'd come down.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I think he said he was down 211 times to
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: try and get it done. And when he came to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: see Trump, it got done in about 15 minutes. And
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: It's turned out to be much bigger than we ever
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: even thought possible.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the 47 Morning Update. And we've got two very big
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: stories for you. First up, a trade war with Canada.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying Canada is taking advantage of the U.S.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: for far too long and we're not going to make
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a bad deal. So what does this mean for goods?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We'll explain it to you. Up next, a shockingly vile
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: attack from El-Said, a Democratic socialist candidate, against the vice president, J.D.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Vance's wife. Why is he attacking the first lady? We'll
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: break that down for you as well. I do want
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to talk to you real quick about something that you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: can do to make a big difference in this country,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the values that we believe in, and literally make a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: difference every single day. There are so many brands today
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that claim to stand for American values, but most of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the time it's all talk and no action. That is
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: what makes Patriot Mobile different. For more than 12 years,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has been living their values and standing in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the gap for every American who believes freedom is actually
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: worth fighting for. Now, their business was founded on a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: simple conviction. If culture is being shaped through commerce, then
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Americans deserve a real conservative alternative. Now, today, Patriot Mobile
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is the only Christian Conservative Wireless Provider. And what they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: offer you is premium priority nationwide service on any of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the three major U.S.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Networks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You get unlimited data plans, international roaming, 100% U.S.-based customer support.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And then there's another great thing about Patriot Mobile. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this is what sets them apart. Their mission is different
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as a company. Every year, they contribute millions of dollars
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to at no extra cost to you, to organizations that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: defend our free speech, our religious liberty, the sanctity of life,

  Speaker 1: a buzz today. It's the 47 Morning Update, and it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: starts right now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We are now being told that the trade talks between
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the United States and Canada have collapsed. It was a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: very simple story, very clear that this was a collapse
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the conversation. Here's how it was on Fox News.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Trade talks between the US and Canada collapsing overnight. A 50%
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: tariff on $ 20 billion with the Canadian goods taking effect
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: at midnight. The Trump administration says Canada walked away from
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a deal that would have cut tariffs on steel, aluminum
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: autos and lumber. Now Canada is promising to hit back
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: dollar for dollar, raising the stakes in a major fight
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: with one of America's closest trading partners.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Now, President Donald Trump is making it very clear. Canada
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is not going to get any special treatment, as he
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: described it, simply because it is America's neighbor. The president
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is saying, no, we're not going to allow that to happen.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So let me explain what just happened over the last
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: several days. President Trump temporarily paused a new round of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: massive tariffs against Canada because he believed a deal was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: essentially finished. Trump announced that the pause was based on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the fact that Canada and the United States, in his words,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have a deal. But the deal never got across the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: finish line, and negotiations collapsed on Friday. Both sides are,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of course, now pointing the finger at one another. And
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration is now saying Canada came back at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the last minute with demands that the United States simply
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't willing to accept. Canada, of course, says that Donald
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Trump in Washington was demanding concessions that threatened Canadian sovereignty
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and its ability to make its own trade decisions. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: President Trump essentially said... The United States has now imposed 50%
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: tariffs on roughly $ 20 billion worth of Canadian products. Now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: these aren't hypothetical tariffs. They are now in effect. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Canadian goods ranging from wine and other
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: alcoholic beverages to dairy products, to textiles, to electronics, to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: paper products, to honey, even hockey equipment. Now, these new
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: duties also go beyond some of the protections that previously
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: existed under the USMCA trade agreement. Now, why is Donald
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Trump doing this is a question that a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: people are asking. Well, the White House's argument is extremely straightforward.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration has said Canada has spent protecting parts
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of its economy while expecting largely unrestricted access to the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: enormous American consumer market. Take alcohol, for example. The White
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: House using this over the weekend. And they pointed out
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that beginning in March of 2025, Canadian provinces and territories
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stopped purchasing or selling American alcoholic beverages. Ontario pulled U.S.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: products from its government-controlled liquor system. And then Quebec took
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: similar action. Now, some provinces subsequently reversed course, but most
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: did not. Then you have dairy. Canada's supply management system
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: has been long a source of friction with American farmers.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Then you look at automobiles. Then you look at steel
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and aluminum. And the Trump administration's basic position is this.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You cannot restrict American products and protect Canadian industries and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: then demand unlimited access to America's markets and to American consumers. Now,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the White House says the 50% tariffs are specifically intended
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to offset prices what it calls Canada's discriminatory treatment of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: American commerce and trade. And Trump is approaching this from
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a position he has maintained for years. America has the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: biggest consumer market in the world. Access to our American
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: market has tremendous value to anyone else in the world.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And if another country wants access to the U.S., then
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump believes that America should use that leverage to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: demand reciprocal treatment. A fair deal, let's be clear, reciprocal treatment.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for American workers and American businesses. Now, Canada, they now
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: say they are not backing down on this at all.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: The Canadian Prime Minister, Carney, has announced that Canada will
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: retaliate dollar for dollar. Beginning September the 8th, Canada plans
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: tariffs against American goods, including products involving steel, dairy, electronics,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and agricultural equipment. Carney is calling Trump's tariffs an economic
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: attack and then said Canada will not surrender its sovereignty
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: simply to reach a deal with Washington. And that means
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we now have something very different from a negotiating threat.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: We potentially have an actual North American trade war. Now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you've got to remember how economically connected we are. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this as, you know, whether you're Canadian listening
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to this or American listening to this, we are absolutely interconnected.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The United States and Canada don't simply sell finished products
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to each other. Our manufacturing systems are very much intertwined,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and this is going to be a problem for both countries,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: all right? Components can cross the border, go into another product,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: cross back again, and eventually end up in a finished
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: vehicle or piece of machinery. That happens all the time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, same thing happens with Mexico. So when
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you start putting 50% tariffs on products moving across the border,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: businesses now have to make a serious decision. Do you
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: absorb the cost, number one? Do you raise the price
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for consumers, number two? Or do you find another supplier,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: number three? And this is the outcome that President Trump wants.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Do they move production into the United States of America
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: instead of having it in Canada? Now, if you need
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the American business more than you need the Canadian business...
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Are you going to move those manufacturing companies into the U.S.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to deal with this trade tariff
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and paying these tariffs with Canada and the U.S.? Right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: That's a simple question. And the president's betting on the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: answer is going to be fine. We'll move to America. Now,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this is a strategic gamble, no doubt, but it's one
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that is based in Trump's tariff policy. The president said
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he wants CEOs looking at a 50% tariff and saying this.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Why am I manufacturing this in Canada when I could
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be building it in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: avoid the tariffs altogether? And the White House is already pointing,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, to reshoring this announcement in the automobile
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: industry as evidence that Donald Trump's broader trade strategy is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: influencing corporate investment decisions. And that has certainly been a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: real thing in America. There's also the other side of this, right?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Canada is very angry right now. Canada is very mad.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And how much leverage do they have over the United
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: States of America? Not near as much. They have a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: smaller economy. They don't have as much manufacturing. They have
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of goods that they need to export into America.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And so when you look at what they are doing
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: right now, the question is, who flinches first? Donald Trump
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: believes Canada will flinch first. I actually believe there's an
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: extremely good chance that that is exactly what is going
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to happen. That Canada is going to flinch first. Now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the president has also made it clear that Canada has
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: just been taking advantage of us for far too long.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And this goes back to his trade negotiations all over
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the world. There are too many countries that were taking
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: advantage of the U.S. and getting full access to us.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America while giving us limited
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: or no access to their consumers. The president's saying, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just want a fair playing field. That's all I want.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And what did they say in Canada?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Now, they may be used to America being pretty darn weak.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: They may be used to America being kind of wussy
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: on trade negotiations. And they may be hoping that that's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: exactly what's going to happen. The president will flinch. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: don't believe that he's going to flinch. I think he's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: dug in and it's based on principle and a policy
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that makes sense for Americans. This is why a lot
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of people voted for Donald Trump in the first place.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Now, story number two.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: There is another example that I want to tell you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: about right now, about just how extreme and how radical
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the DSA actually is. Now, you have to look no
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: further this time and to just deal with a basic headline.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And it is one that if you are a conservative person,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: This should terrify you that we are now at this
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: point where this is where the Democratic Party has gone.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You look in a guy by the name of Abdul El-Said.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He is now out there attacking J.D. Vance's marriage. Why
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: on earth would a Senate Democratic candidate attack J.D. Vance's marriage,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: his wife? Well, it is all because of something that J.D.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Vance said. Now, I'm going to play for you what J.D.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Vance said so that you understand exactly what he said
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: before I tell you what El-Sayed's response was. And it
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was vile and grotesque and also extremely racist. Here is J.D.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Vance in his own words, and then you'll understand how
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: egregious this is.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: It's sometimes actually hard to understand. Like, what do these
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: modern Democrats actually stand for? But look what they say,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: pay close attention, and they'll leave these little hints of
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: what they actually care about. Now, El-Sayed, this guy running
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: for Senate in Michigan, he once argued, not too long ago,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: that criticisms of Sharia law were rooted in white supremacy.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I'd love to go back in time and tell my
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: papaw that there's a man who claims to stand for
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: working people who says not only should we have Sharia law,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: but if you criticize it, you're a white supremacist. That's
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: not my papaw's Democrat party, my friends.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about why that story is important. What J.D.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Vance is doing is he's reminding people that the Democratic
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Party has become so extreme that Democrats of yesterday would
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: not even recognize their party today. I believe JFK would
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be a Republican today. I think there's a chance Bill
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Clinton of the 1990s would be a Republican today. That
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is how extreme the left has gone. And El-Sayed has
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: lost his mind over those comments. In a social media
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: post over the weekend, El-Sayed wrote, so do we think
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: JD is taking Usha, that's his wife, all right, the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: second lady, with him back in time to meet Papa
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: or no? With a link to that video. Now, Vance's wife, Usha,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and her family are Hindu. So this is not only
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a racist statement, but it's an incredibly nasty statement coming
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: from Al-Said. And by the way, they're Hindu and they
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: would not impose Sharia law on Americans. That is another
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: part of this conversation because Al-Said has refused not only
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to apologize for his racist remarks about Vance's wife and family,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: but it's also important to note that Al-Said's campaign has
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: confirmed that he actually complies with Sharia law in his
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: personal life. Now, this all comes from a comment from
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: 09 when he described it as being himself as being, quote,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and his religion as a lifelong obligation. Saeed later responded
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to Vance's comments during an interview, stating, quote, he's painting
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: this picture of going back in time to talk to
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: his papa about me. Now, why is he pointing to me?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Why is Donald Trump pointing to me? They're pointing to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: me to try and say somehow I'm less of an
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: American than they are. What does that have to do
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: with this? I don't know. The color of my skin?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: How I pray? Question mark. But the confusing thing about
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it is that he thinks there are some people who
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: are more American than others because they can point to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: their papa who was here earlier. Now, obviously, that's not
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: even close to what Vance was talking about. What he
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: was saying was the Democratic Party has become so radical.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that his papa, who was a Democrat, would not recognize it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He then goes on, I'll say, to ask this question, quote,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and my question to him, referring to Vance, is simply,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: why is it? How do you look your parents-in-law's in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the eye and say that somehow they're less American than
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you are? Because that's what he's implying here. That's, by
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the way, not what J.D. Vance implied at all. That
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: goes back to the racist statement that has been put
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: out there by El-Said. Now, this is a very, very, very, very,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: very tight race. You look at the most recent polling,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Michigan's Republican Senate candidate, Mike Rogers, and El-Sayed are virtually
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: tied in the general election race. El-Sayed now is doing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: everything he can to try to undermine J.D. Vance, undermine
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the president, and undermine Mike Rogers. And so what he's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: saying is, hey, I'm going to go after the wife
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of J.D. Vance and her religion and And the color
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of her skin and then say, oh, well, I guess
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: somehow Republicans are racist. Like, that's pretty funny. Well, let
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: me also remind you of El Said when he said
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: when he said this in an interview as well.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Oh, you know, Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: was considered radical in his time, too. And there is
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: a radical nature to being willing to stand forthright in
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: a time of corruption.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Saeed says that Jesus was radical, so therefore you should
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: support me because I'm a radical. He's admitting that he
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is a radical Islamist. By the way, that's very different
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: than what Jesus believed in. Let's just point that out
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: as well.
