  Speaker 1: That's not my signature and it's not the way I speak,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and anybody that's covered me for a long time, no,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that's not my language. It's nonsense. And frankly, you're wasting
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your time. All you do is trying to get off
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the great success of DC and about two hundred other
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: things weeks under it so successful.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: It's so nice to have you with us on the
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update, and we've got.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Two major stories for you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Bombshell documents are now blowing wide open the Biden auto
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: pin scandal, and it's now putting a spotlight on who
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: may have been rund the country in the last year.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the president, it could have been the Vice president,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: How do we know this.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Because the White House lawyers were talking about it in
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: emails that we now have. I'll give you all those
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: shocking details in just a moment. Also, we're finding out
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: just how bad the economy actually was under Joe Biden
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: and the people in charge of this statistics on job
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: numbers while they were lying in a partisan way that
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we never have seen before, creating out of thin air,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: literally millions of jobs that they knew were never filled.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: But before we get to those stories, I want to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: take a moment and I want to talk to you
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: real quick about what you can do to help the
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: people in Israel. It was nearly two years ago that
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the terrorists murdered more than twelve hundred innocent Israelis and
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: they took two hundred and fifty hostages. Today it seems
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: as if the cries of the dead and dying have
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: been drowned out by the shouts of anti Semitism and
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: just pure hatred, not just in America but around the world.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: And the most brutal attack on Jewish people happened. It
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: happened since the Holocausts, and now it's like they're trying
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: to act like it never happened. Now, this is where
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: it is important for us to stand with the people
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: in Israel. It's a movement of love and support for
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the people of Israel, and this is where I want
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: you to get involved.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It is called Flags of Fellowship.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It's being organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: On October fifth, you can stand with Israel and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: victims proudly. Just a few weeks away, millions across America
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: will prayerfully plant an Israeli flag in honor and solidarity
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: with the victims of October the seventh, twenty twenty three,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and stand with their grieving families. You can be a
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: part of this movement as well. And that's what I
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: love about what IFCJ does. They're making sure that the
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: world knows there are lots of people of faith in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: this country and friends and advocates for Israel.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: They're going to stand with them.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: You can get more information about how you can join
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the Flags of Fellowship movement, including your church. There are
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: going to be countless churches around the country they're going
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: to plant flags as well. So all you have to
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: do to get involved with Flags of Fellowship movement is
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: go to IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. Stand
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: with Israel on October the fifth. It's just a few
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: weeks away, and if your church you think would want
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to be involved, you can also find out more about
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: how to get your church to be involved on a
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: special Sunday at IFCJ dot org. That's if CJ dot org.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: It's the forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: New documents are blowing open the Biden autopen scandal and
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: now putting a serious spotlight on Kamala Harris. There are
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: newly uncovered internal documents that are shedding light on what
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: was going on at the White House on former President
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden's use so the auto pen and alleged outsourcing
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: quote unquote of decision making during his final year in office.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: The former president has insisted that he personally made all
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: decisions regarding the pardon executive orders and calling claims the
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: contrary quote ridiculous and false. But the memos tell a
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: different story. The internal memos and emails indicate that critical decisions,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: including clemencies, were quietly delegated to others, others who were
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: not elected officials, Others who were not the President of
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the United States of America. Now one of the others
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: includes former Vice President Kamala Harris, and it remains unclear
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: whether Biden formally approves certain decisions. Multiple outlets are now
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: confirming this. Biden aides initially insisted that he personally signed
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: by hand any official presidential actions, but by the end
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: of his term, the standard had been abandoned. According to
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: an internal memo obtained by Just the News, based on
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: precedent from the Obama Biden administration, regarding which documents generally
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: are hand signed by the president, are recommend is that
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: as a general rule, you quote unquote personally approve and
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: hand sign all decisions that require presidential actions. That is
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: what it says on a February twenty twenty one draft
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: memo distributed to top White House officials. Now, by February
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four, authorization for clemency actions increasingly relied
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: on the vice president's approval, not the actual president of
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: the United States of America. That according to a draft
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: memo circulated by the White House Counsel's office, Yes, that
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: would be the White House's lawyers quote. Given the President's schedule,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: it can often take days or weeks for the President
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to review and approve the clemency package, the lawyer's memo read.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: The Chief of Staff's office has been helpful in getting
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the paper in front of him for his review, he
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: previously asked the White House Council discussed the candidates with him,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: although in the last round, the vice presidential approval was
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: sufficient to obtain his approval. The lawyers noted so again
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: in writing, the lawyers at Biden's White House were saying,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: He's not running the show, it's the Vice president and others. Now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the Trump White House concluded that this memo shows the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: former president was effectively outsourcing clemency decision to Harris during
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: his final year, and, by the way, to put it
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in perspective, during his four years in the White House,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Biden granted an unprecedented four thousand, two hundred and forty
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: five acts of clemency, more than any previous president on record.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: All of Biden's pardons from December to January, including those
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: of his family members as well as doctor Anthony Fauci
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: and General Martin Milly, were reportedly signed not by the President,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: but signed by auto pen. In fact, there was only
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: one preemptive pardon, one pardon that was signed by the president,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: and that was for his son Hunter.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Biden.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Internal emails casts even furthered out on whether Biden approved
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the commutations of more than two thousand, five hundred inmates
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: jailed for crack cocaine offenses in January. The New York
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Post is now reporting, so what do we have more
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: evidence that the President of the United States of America,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden, was not calling the shots and was not
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: actually even deciding who was getting pardons or clemency, which
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: brings up the bigger question are these pardons and clemency
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: actually legal? Now that is a question this administration is
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: obviously looking into.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Now, Story number two, I want you to listen.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Very carefully to the numbers I'm about to give you,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and I want you to understand just how big the
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: lies were to act like the economy actually wasn't in
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: terrible shape when Democrats were in charge and they were
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: running for reelection, they just made up hundreds of thousands
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: of jobs.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: We just got these new.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Numbers in that there was almost a million, nine hundred
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: eleven thousand fewer jobs were created between April of twenty
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: twenty four and March of twenty twenty five.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: The Bureau of Labor Statistics is saying that isn't just
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: a revision.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: That is a revision that is on a level that
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: clearly is straight up fraud.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You don't get these numbers this wrong.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Look at polling when they have a margin of air
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: of plus or minus three percent, or if it's a
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: bad pull four percent. If it's a horrific poll five percent,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: you're telling me the federal government sucks so bad at
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: counting jobs same people, by the way, they're supposed to
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: be collecting taxes on these jobs, that they got it
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: wrong by nine hundred and eleven thousand jobs.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: The answer is obviously no. What does this mean.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: It means the labor market was weak, extremely weak, well
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: before the tariffs kicked in. The job market was frozen
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four as well. In fact, the average
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: job gain revision showed just one hundred and forty seven
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: thousand jobs per month. That is an average job gain
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: after revisions of seventy one thousand a month. Now, this
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: annual quote revision process is normal. What's not normal is
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: how big they're missing these numbers. The Bureau of Labor
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Statistics does it every year, and they apparently just lie
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: when Democrats are in office.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I'll give you an example.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Last August, right in the heat of the election, the
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: labor the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported negative eight hundred
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: and eighteen thousand fewer jobs. Yes, these were large, massive
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: corruption revisions, is how I describe it. Why did this happen?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: It happened because they wanted to say the economy isn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: as bad as it really was when Joe Biden was
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: running for reelection. So the takeaway, and this is what
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I want you to really understand. Number one, Donald Trump
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: clearly inherited a massive mess. It is a absolute scandal
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: of gigantic proportions that our government was lying to the
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: American people trying to make you feel like things are
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: better than they actually are. Caroline Levitt, the White House
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: pre Secretary, said it this way.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Quote Today the Bureau of Laboratistics.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Released the largest downward revision on record in history. I'm
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: going to say that again, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: released the largest downward revision on record ever. Why did
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: this happen because they wanted Joe Biden to win? Carolin
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Levitt said, it provides more understanding online. President Donald Trump
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: took action to address concerns about reporting accuracy at the Bureau,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: with Levitt saying it proves that President Trump was right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Biden's economy was a disaster and the Bureau of Labor
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Statistics is straight up broken. The White House added quote,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: this is exactly why we need new leadership to restore
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: trust and confidence in the death on behalf of the
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: financial markets, on behalf of businesses, policymakers, and families that
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: rely on this data to make major decisions. Now, the
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: White House on August first released a list of errors
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and missions by the Bureau of Laboratistics.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, this is like their entire job, which.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Is accused of inaccuracies and also now in competency. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: the White House also pointing a finger at Commissioner Erica
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Mickin Tarfer, who was appointed to the role by former
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: President Joe Biden. Among those examples, was not only them
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: issuing another massive revision of these jobs, more than eight
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand were overestimated and what was the second largest
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: downward revision for the BLS as well.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: And so this means two in a row.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, two years in a row they were lying to
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: you about how bad the numbers were, or they were
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: just making up literally almost two million jobs that didn't exist. Now,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump fired Erica just hours after the release of
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the July jobs which showed weaker than expected job growth
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: and significant downward revisions for May and June. That's when
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the Left was like, you can't do this as a
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: nonpartisan Well, it is partisan, clearly. It was because she
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: created two million jobs out of thin air to help
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden and the Democrats. The Labor Secretary, by the way,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: posting on Tuesday that the negative drop of numbers from
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: the Bureau of Labor Satistics reveals a quote problem, saying
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: today's massive downward revision gives the American people even more
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: reason to doubt the integrity of data being published by
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: our government. It's imperative for the data to remain accurate, impartial,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: and never altered for political gain. Now, within two weeks
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: of firing the individual who's overseeing this insanity, Trump also
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: named Heritage Foundation chief economists and Tony to lead the Bureau.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: His nomination is also waiting Senate confirmation, something that I
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: think clearly should be done as soon as possible. Which
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: brings me to Steven Moore, former Trump campaign senior economic advisor.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: You may know him from Fox News and Fox Business.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I want you to hear what he had to say
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: about the far fewer jobs added than expected in August,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: and also when he says about the job report revisions
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: in general.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: The week optimistic, We're going to see a rate cut
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: next week after we got the key jobs report for August,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: the first one since President Trump fired the Commissioner of
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: the Bureau of Labor Statistics last month. There were questions
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: over the accuracy of the data, the report.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Showing much fewer.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Jobs added in August than expected, only twenty two thousand
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: versus the estimate of seventy five thousand, and the unemployment
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: rate now at its highest level since October of twenty
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: twenty one. We also got revisions showing twenty one thousand
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: fewer jobs created in June and July than previously reported.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: For more on this and what it means for the
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Fed's next move, I'm joining my Committee to Unleash Prosperity
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: co founder Steve Moore. Steve, it's great to see you
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: talk to me about your thoughts on this job's report.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Pretty big miss on the estimate.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Well sure, wise, but you know, it's interesting. I think
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: one of the takeaways from this report is how increasingly
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: unreliable these jobs numbers are. And you know, we talk,
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: you and I and Maria talk about this every first
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Friday of every month, and we're seeing these gyrations in
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: the numbers. And also one of the things that hasn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: been really widely reported is that there's two surveys. One
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: survey had a big increase in jobs by I think
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I don't remember the exact number, close to three hundred thousand,
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: whereas the one that's reported the headline number was what
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: twenty eight thousand. So we need to clean up these numbers, Cheryl,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: because it's we make so many economic decisions based on
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: these jobs numbers. And I've been doing this for thirty
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: five years. I think, look at the re estimates. They
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: keep changing the numbers every month.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I would ask you something, but by the way, you
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: listen to what Steve Moore says. He's saying, and it's true,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: so many people make business decisions off of this data
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: and information. By the way, that's why this data is
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: supposed to be done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be non biased in the way that
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: it is done. And we have a very clear problem
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: here where there has been a massive politicization of these
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: numbers to try to help out democrats when they're running
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: for office. They created two million jobs that they knew
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: weren't there, just so the economy would look like it's
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: better than it actually is now. Also, I think the
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: American people understood how bad it was, and so they like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: that's why they voted for Donald Trump.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But it had to be really bad for them to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: And so this is again one of the examples of
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the massive lies of the left, and it's something that
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: absolutely should okay, it's something that should never ever, ever
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: ever happen, period, full stop. This is why Trump is
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: going after this, this is why there needs to be reformed.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: It is truly insane.
