• 0:24
  Speaker 5: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the three big
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: stories you need to know about right now.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: First up, the Trump.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: Administration is now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: on tariffs, massive news that the media doesn't want you
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: to know about. I'll give you those details in just
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: a moment. Also, Donald Trump is asking for your help
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: when it comes to deregulating our government. DOE just set
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: up a website now where you can go directly to
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: them and explain how there's a government regulation that is
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: hurting you your business or your industry. And if they
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: fix it, they may even name the fix after you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: And finally, a massive win for the Trump administration when
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: it comes to deporting students who are here on visas
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: that are advocating for violence and supporting terrorists organizations. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: I want to give you a very important update on
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: what's going on with tariff negotiations. This is a story
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: that the media is not going to want to tell
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: you about because of the number that I'm about.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: To disclose to you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: You may remember the other day there was reports out
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: that there were fifty countries that had lined up to
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: negotiate their terifs of the Trump administration. Then that number
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: went to seventy and that is when the media started
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: getting quiet on the story. We now have a new number,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: and the Trump administration has told us that they are
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: now negotiating with one hundred and thirty countries on tarr Now,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: I want you to hear this back and forth with
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: liberal Jake Tapper over at CNN on say of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Union talking with the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: And here is what Jake Tapper tried to say when
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: he was bating him into a false narrative.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Take a listen, what.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Do you say to small business owners or even big
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: business owners who say they're having difficulty making long term
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: business decisions because the country seems right now to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: run by capricious whim.
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: Oh, i'd think at all, it's run by capricius wim.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: The way that I would think about it is that
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: in the previous administration, you can sort of say, if
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: you're thinking about it into football analogy is that they
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: were running out the clock. And what's going on now
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: and the Trump administration is across a wide array of
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: policy areas.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: We're in a two minute.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Offense, and the two minute offense is pushing, as you've seen,
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: the reconciliation build through, so that we get tax relief
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: for America people, deregulation, and of course trade policy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Now, in the trade policy, the whole point of the trade.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Policy is to address the national emergency that we're too
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: dependent on foreign products in the US, especially if we
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: were at a time of conflict, and we're doing something
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: about that. And the Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: you come to the table and negotiate us with us
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: and treat us the same way we treat you, then
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: we'll get your rate really low. And so right now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty countries. One hundred thirty countries have
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: responded and we're negotiating with them, and they've got their
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: rate down to ten percent.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And so really it's kind of almost a two world system.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: There's a process about China and that's very very nascent,
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: if at all, and then the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Process for everybody else. So the process for everybody else
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is orderly.
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: It's clear people are coming to town with great offers.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We've got japanned Korea, India.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: I was just talking to the Foreign Minister of India
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: and everything is moving forward very quickly, and so I
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: guess that the bottom line is that the small business
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: owner has EXPERI over the last few weeks the start
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: of a process that's settling down really quite quickly.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Gave the one hundred thirty countries or at ten percent now.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: So if you want to know if the administration is
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: And are there people that are coming to the table,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: The answer is yes. And are there a few?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: No?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Are there some?
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: No?
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Are there a lot? Maybe you could go even beyond that,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: as I quote the administration. So right now there are
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty countries, one hundred and thirty countries
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: have responded and we're negotiating with them and they've got
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: their rate down to ten percent. So really it's almost
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: a two world system. There's a process. They said about
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: countries that are not willing to come to the table,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: places like China, and those are going to be tough,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: but everyone else they seem to be wanting the best
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: deal they can get with the American government, and that
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: means it's an amazing deal for the American people. So
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: don't buy into the fear mongering. Look at the actual results,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: and it's clear that there's one hundred and thirty countries
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: that are dying to get a deal done with the
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Trump administration, who is putting American workers and businesses first instead.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Of last Next story number two.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: One thing that Donald Trump promised was he was going
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: to give the power back to the people. Well, DOGE
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: is leading that effort, and the President is now saying
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: it is a top priority to make sure that you
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: can go to your government when there is a problem.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Americans apparently that are witnessing crippling federal regulations are now
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: going to be allowed to go directly to DOGE to
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: report the red tape issues. The Department of Government Efficiency
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: launching a new website where you or people you know
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: can directly report and suggest how to deregulate and the
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: policies within the federal government that are holding Americans back.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Quote your voice in federal decision making is important impacted
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: by an existing rule or regulation, Well, then share your
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: ideas for deregulation by completing this new DOGE form. Now,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: this website is now live, and I want you to
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: know about it, and I want you to share it
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: wherever you can.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: On social media.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: The website is Regulations with an ass dot gov. DOGE
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: worked with the Government Services Administration that is an independent
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: agency tasked with helping support the functioning of other federal agencies,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: as well as the Office of Management and Budget, which
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: is the federal office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: to launch the website, and again, that website is Regulations
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: dot gov.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: DOGE is combining the administration's goals of adding transparency and
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: slashing waste, fraud, and abuse by offering the American people
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions. This stage
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: led effort highlighting President Trump's top priority to put the
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: people first and the government bureaucrats last. That is what
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: the White House spokesman said over the weekend. The website's
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: main page will direct users to a form where you
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: can report deregulatory suggestions, which provides users with more than
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: a dozen prompts regarding their issue. The prompts include describing
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: which federal agency has promoted a regulation at issue, if
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: the regulation is finalized or in the midst of the
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: rulemaking process, and justification for the deregulation, the history of
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: how the regulation operates, and the title and name of
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: the agency's leader, as well as other detailed information on
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: the regulation. The form prompts users also to provide their name,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: but the box is not mandatory to complete before submission,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: meaning that if you're an ANS it's a whistleblower, they'll
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: happily take your suggestion. The person who submits a the
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: regulatory suggestion could see the Trump administration name the recession
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: of the rule after the individual. So if you would
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: love to have your name official, well, the Trump administration,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: if they take your advice, is going to give you
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: credit for it. Quote only answer, if you would like
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the recession to be named after you or your organization.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Providing your name does not guarantee that it will appear
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: on any final agency action, and we reserve the right
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: to refrain from using names that are inappropriate or offensive.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: This again going back to what Donald Trump said, I'm
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: putting Americans first and the bureaucrats last in my administration.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: And it's another win for the American people.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: And here is story number three.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: A major victory this week for the Trump administration, who
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: said they were going to hold student protesters accountable if
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: they were standing up for terrorists, actually if they are
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: here from another country. Now, you may remember that the
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Senate Democrats came out and said we stand with the
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: pro terrorists pro hamas Columbia graduate, a guy by the
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: name of Mahmud Khalil. Why did they do it, because, well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the Democratic Party has no problem standing with people that
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: are advocating and supporting for the destruction of Israel and
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: those that advocate for actual terrorist organizations.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: This is not all.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: We also found out that the Senate Judiciary Democrats went
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: all in in supporting him as.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: A political decision.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: This is the latest of six separate posts that they
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: put out on social media promoting his cause, declaring free
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Muhammad Khalil, well he was arrested. He was a leader
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: of last spring's pro Hamas protests, and just last week
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: he participated in the Barnard protests in which activists were
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: handing out Hamas propaganda booklets justifying the October the seventh attacks.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: This again was during the week when Democrats supported him. Now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: it's fair to debate where the line is between free
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: speech and due process, and there's no doubt that that
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: is an important conversation half But let's be clear, Democrats
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: have no problem looking the other way when it comes
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: to immigration laws, and they look the other way when
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: it comes to protecting Jewish students on campus as well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: which brings us to the victory that all of us
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: should be excited about. An immigration judge has now ruled
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: that make Mood Khalil can be deported from the US
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: due to his involvement in leading last year's pro Palestinian
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: protests at Columbia University. The judge coming out and this
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: news breaking on Fox where Democrats lost their minds yet
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: again the.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Thinsion that we have been waiting for. A judge has
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: just ruled.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: That the Trump administration's effort to deport Mackmoud.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Khalil can move forward.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: Correspondent Brook Taylor live right near that courthouse and Jana
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Louisiana tell us what the judge is saying in there.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Brook, Hi, Martha, Yeah, this has been long anticipated and
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: some major news. Just to first give you some perspective,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: we're down the street from the Ice Detention Center. The
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: courtroom is inside of there. They didn't allow any phones
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: or cameras, so we're finding out this information from our
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: reporter who's over there down the street. She tells us,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: as you just mentioned, the immigration judge has found Muhmoud
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Khalil removable. Khalil's attorneys have until April twenty third to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: file relief applications. I asked that reporter what the immigration
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: judge was able to say. She cited those d Jess
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: papers and said that the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: was able to meet that burden and again they have
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: decided that Mahmood Khalil is removable. The next question, Martha,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: of course's attorneys are going to fight this, but how
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: long that process is going to take? Right now for
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: him to be deported.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: We'll send it back you hear that report.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Democrats are angry because they wanted to make sure that
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: they could have as many of these activists that have
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: come into the United States of America stand up for
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: terrorists and advocate for death and destruction of the Jews
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: all over the world. This judge ruling on Friday that
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: this thirty year old again can be deported, saying the
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: US government met its burden of proof to remove him.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Quote, I would like to quote what you.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Said last time, that there's nothing that's more important to
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: this court than do process rights and fundamental fairness. That
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: is what mcmood told the court, saying, quote clearly what
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: we witnessed today, neither of these principles were presented today
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: or in.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: The whole process. Quote.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to this court one thousand miles away from my family.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: for me are afforded to the hundreds of others who
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: have been here without hearings four months now. His attorneys
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: again have until April the twenty third to file relief applications.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: During the hearing, the Department of Holland Security attorneys also
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: spoke about how this individual misrepresented himself on his green
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: card application lying to get into the US. The Department
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: of Homeland Security attorneys said that the man was not
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: upfront about some of the organizations that he was involved with.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Mac Mood, they said, willfully failed to disclose his employment
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: with Assyrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: he applied for permanent US residency. Federal officials alleged that
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: macmod was inadmissible at the time of his adjustment because
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: of fraud or wilful misrepresentation of material facts in his
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: status application. In other words, the sky's a pathological liar
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: to get into the US, is what they're accusing him of.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: The agency also accused him of failing to disclose his
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: work for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, specifically
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: for Palestine refugees, and membership in Columbia University's apartheid divest Now,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: this is another example of the Trump administration saying we're
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: willing to dig, we're willing to look, and we're willing
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: to make sure that people that come to this country
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: are not wishing harm on anyone and aren't advocating for
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: terrorist organizations. This ruling, no doubt, will have major precedent
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: in allowing the administration to continue to go after those
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that we're violent or advocating for violence on college campuses
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: coast to coast.
