Dems Unveil Their Post-Midterm Plans—Target Trump, his Cabinet & his Family · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Byron Donaldson I know, he will be the next
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: governor of Florida. He's a phenomenal member. He's one of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the best communicators we have in our entire party. And
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: there has been nobody that's been done more TV than
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Byron Donaldson across the board on behalf of the president.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: If you look at the 2024 cycle, he was there
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: every single day. I don't care what the website says.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: He is the most pro-Donald Trump member of Congress I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: think we have in the Congress right now. He's going
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to push the America First agenda, but he's really about
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the Florida First. And so what the website says is,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's irrelevant. I know he stands side by side with
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the president all the time.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning. So nice to have you with us
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: in the 47 Morning Update. And we've got one big
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: story for you. Democrats are going all in now to
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: make it clear to voters. If you elect them, they
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: will go after the president of the United States of America.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: and impeach him. But not just that. The lawfare is coming.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Subpoenas and attacks on his entire cabinet and anyone around
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the president of the United States of America. The Speaker
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: of the House, Mike Johnson, declaring that this is a
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: moment for a big warning and you better be ready
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: if you don't get out and vote in November. We're
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: going to talk about that. All right, let me just
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: take a moment here and pause and talk to you
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: real quick about Kaushik. The midterm elections are heating up.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Congressional control and President Trump's agenda hang in the balance,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and every headline has the potential to shift the odds.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: On CalSheet, you can trade major primaries, election outcomes, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the biggest political storylines as they happen. Let me give
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you an example of right now what is up if
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you go to CalSheet. Democrats, they now say, have a 62%
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: chance to control the Senate. Yeah, not the House. That
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: would be 51 Democrats to 47 Republicans. And yeah, you
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: can get in on the action. There's also been some
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: pretty interesting changes in different races right now. For example,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Ohio is leaning now to the Democrats, Kansas to the Republicans,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: New Hampshire, the Democrats, Florida to the Republicans and Alaska
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: now leaning back to the Democratic Party. That is part
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: of why I love looking at Kalshi. Now, one of
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the biggest races in the country is the Ken Paxton
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: against Tallarico. Right now, Paxton is currently trading at 50%,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: meaning a $ 100 trade would pay out $ 93 if he
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: beats Tallarico. Now on CalSheet, you're trading against peers in
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a live market, meaning there's no house. And as the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: probability changes, you can buy in and out of your position,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: which is amazing. Download the CalSheet app and use code
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: BEN to get $ 20 when you trade $ 20. That's CalSheet, K-A-L-S-H-I, CalSheet,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: trade on anything.

• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: If you want to know what's going to happen if
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the Democrats get control of Congress... In the midterms, well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: they're now telling you exactly what their game plan is.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Not only is it to investigate and impeach Donald Trump
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: for a third time, but now we're learning what else
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: they want to do, which is going a step further.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: On MSNOW, there's a show called On the Line. Representative Stansbury,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a Democrat from New Mexico, said that if Democrats win
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the majority, In the midterm elections, they will investigate and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: possibly impeach President Donald Trump's cabinet secretaries. The host, Alicia Mendez,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: said there's always been this strategic conversation about whether or
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: not another Trump impeachment makes sense or whether or not
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: it actually makes more sense to go after members of
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: his cabinet. Representative Massey has now weighed in on what
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: he thinks the best course of action is. And then
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: she says, take a listen. Now, what are they referencing? Well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday, Thomas Massey, who's a rhino crazy Republican who's
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: gone soon, said, I think impeaching cabinet members is highly underrated.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of these cabinet secretaries are going to get
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: pardons at the end of their tenure. Mendez said, do
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: you agree with the last thing he said about the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: possibility of the president giving pardons? That is when Stansbury said, quote,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, I mean, Donald Trump himself said, has said
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: multiple times that he is planning to give pardons to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: everyone in the circle, but I actually very much disagree
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: with the idea that we shouldn't be trying to use
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: every tool we have in the toolbox. In particular, we
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: have cabinet secretaries like Pete Hedgeseth, who Republicans think should
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: be impeached at this point because of his illegal killings
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: in the illegal war. That's obviously referring to the war
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: with Iran.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: What we've seen over the last year, she went on
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: to say, is that when Congress did file impeachments, folks
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were actually fired by
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the president because the American people were clear that they
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: didn't want them in those jobs of trust. So I
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: think there's a number of cabinet secretaries that have blatantly
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I think they
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: better get ready because we'll come for them. Now, you
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: look at those comments, and this is what weaponization of
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: government looks like. We shouldn't, by the way, be surprised
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that this is what Democrats are now saying they want
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to do. And the reason why I say that is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: because they've been doing this for quite some time, right?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: They have been saying that they're going to do this.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: They weaponized their government to go after Donald Trump last time.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Why would we expect them to do anything different this time?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: What they are saying is we're actually going to go
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: further than that. and we're going to threaten anyone and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: let them know you probably don't want to go actually
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: work for Donald Trump because if you do, and again,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'll just play you that one simple line. Here it is.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: So I think there's a number of cabinet secretaries that
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: think they better get ready because we'll come for them.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Congressman Melanie Stansbury, thank you so much for being with
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: us today.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: By the way, I love how there's no pushback from
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: MSNBC on that one. Like, hold on a second. That's
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: breaking news. Let's be clear. What you're saying is you're
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: going to weaponize the government. And if you guys win,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you're going to go after and do everything that you
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: can to destroy Donald Trump because in his cabinet so
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: that no one will take those jobs. Because this is
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: also not just about firing or impeaching a cabinet secretary.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: This is about saying to anyone, if you're thinking about
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: taking a job in the Trump administration, you better think
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: twice about before you become a cabinet secretary, because we're
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: probably going to ruin your life and try to bankrupt you. Uh, and, and,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and that's what we're going to do here. Like that's,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: that is how this works. That is the ball game. Um,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: this representative stands very, as you just heard, she is
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: an individual that hates Trump more than a lot.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Um, and Mike Johnson, by the way, the speaker of
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the house, uh, He also gave a very interesting warning
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference when he said
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: this about what happens if we lose the midterms. He
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: understands the gravity of what she said. He understands that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Democrats are, in fact, crazy enough to do this. This
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: is the same Democratic Party, and I hate to say it,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: but I have to remind you again, that has tried
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to kill this president multiple times. This is the same
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party and the radicals in their party that tried
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to throw Donald Trump in jail. and his family in
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: jail to stop him. This is the same Democratic party
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: that used the deep state to try to overthrow the
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: will of the people and impeach a president, which was
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a coup attempt in the United States of America, on
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, not once, but twice. So why would they
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: not then extend that reach to all the cabinet secretaries?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: And this is why this warning came from Mike Johnson,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the way he said it. Listen carefully to his words.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: But the DSA, the Democrat Socialists of America, sounds so innocuous,
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: doesn't it?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Don't say that. This is their platform. Listen, this is
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: actually quotes from their platform that they published, I think,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: about a day or two ago. You can find this
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: on the internet. Okay, here's just a sample of what
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: they're about. They put this on paper. They're saying the
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: quiet things out loud. Abolish the electoral college or place
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: of Representatives. Implement proportional representation and rank choice voting in
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: all elections. Abolish well, establish public ownership of the largest
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: corporations and essential industries to ensure democratic control and accountability
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: to the people. Abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: End sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. Free Palestine, quote,
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: for a free Palestine with Jerusalem.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: As its capital.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: End all military and economic aid to Israel. Prosecute U.S.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: and Israeli leaders responsible for the genocide in Gaza. Abolish
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: the carceral state. Quote, redirect police and prison funding to
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: public services as steps towards abolishing the carceral forces of
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: the capitalist state. Y'all, it goes on and on and on.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Defund the Department of War. Replace the President and the
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen and subordinate
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: to Congress, which they're hoping to take over. And the
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: last one is abolish the Senate. Now, some of you
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: may agree with that, but just leave that one there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: I'm kidding. I love my colleagues over there. there. There's
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: a new Gallup and NBC poll. Came out about four
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: days ago. Listen to this. Only 29% of Democrat voters
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: now say they are proud to be American. Over half
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: now say they want to live in another country.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Go, go, go.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: We can't deport that many. So let me tell you,
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: this is a very sobering, let me see how much
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: time I have. Oh dear, three minutes. Okay, look, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: am very bullish about the midterms. Let me just tell
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: you right now, as a leader of this little army
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: in the house, we are ready for this fight. We're
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: ready for this fight. We're called for it. My friends,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: I have a very boring 90-minute slideshow that I could
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: go through with you right now. All the reasons we're
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: going to win We are going to defy history. It
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: is true, we have to defy history twice in 90
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: years as a sitting president picked up seats for his
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: party in that first two-year cycle. But this is a
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: midterm unlike any other, not only because of the threats
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: that we face that are very real and must be confronted,
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: but it's because of a lot of reasons on paper
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: why we should win. We have a great record to
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: run on. You just heard our extraordinary Treasury Secretary recount
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: some of the big wins that we've done. I could
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: do this with you all day, talking about the 700
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: bills we passed through the House, the 100 executive orders
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: we've codified, and all the great things we've done for
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: hardworking American families, and pro-family policies, and pro-life policies, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: we're fulfilling our promises. We have better candidates than the
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Democrats do. They are on the verge of an open
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: civil war because the establishment Democrats are being pushed out
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: by the Marxists. They're having a lot of disarray on
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: their side, and that will play to our advantage in
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: the midterms. We have, for the first time in 10 years,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: my friends, we have a slight fundraising advantage over the Democrats.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: That never happens.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: People are so motivated and we have, we have the
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: president of the United States running like it's 2024. Okay.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: He's going to tell you that himself here in a
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: few minutes, he's going to tell you these, he's out
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: doing campaigns and rallies. And you get to look right
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: into the eyes of the camera and say, I am
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: on the ballot because in a real sense, he is,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: if he were to, we were to lose the midterms,
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: heaven forbid these Democrats. Y'all impeachment is not even the
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: an investigative body. And they'll go after the president's family,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: the cabinet, his donors and friends. Half of you in
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: this room will be targeted.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I love the warning there. And I love how Mike
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Johnson says we are ready for this fight. But if
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: we lose the midterms, as he goes on and says,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all, impeachment, not even the big concerns.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: And they'll go after the president's family and the cabinet.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Mike Johnson is right. And they're now saying it publicly
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: on TV. They're not even hiding it, folks. They're saying,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: vote for us. If you hate Donald Trump, we will
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: go after him. If you hate Donald Trump and his family,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: we will go after him. If you hate his cabinet members,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: don't worry. We will go after them. And, most importantly,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: we will make it where other people will not want
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: to serve this president or their country. Now, you may say, well,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: hold on a second. There's going to be somebody that does...
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: There's somebody that would take the job. It may not
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: be the best one. It may not be the A-lister.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: It may not be the one you want to have
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: the job. It may not be the one you want
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to take the job. And the person that really should
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: get the job may be the one that never gets
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the job because they say they can't afford it financially.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Do you know how many people I know that have
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: called me confidentially? And they're like, man, I got offered
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: this gig in the administration in this capacity or that capacity,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: but I just can't take it. And I'm like, dude,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I understand why. You're afraid about being in court in
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: financial ruin. There's a reason why they were talking about
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: pardons earlier that the president's going to have to hand
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: them out. Why would you not hand that out? Why
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: would you not hand a pardon out if you could,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: knowing that the Democrats are campaigning off of coming after
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: you and trying to put you in prison just for
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: serving your country? And that's the other part of this
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you have to understand. This is only because you've decided
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: to serve your country, nothing else. Simply, you're wanting to
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: serve your country. You should not have to worry about
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: going to jail or becoming financially bankrupt or being constantly
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: attacked by a court system or by Congress and having
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: to pay legal bills that will never end. Because another
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: political party gains power, even especially if you did nothing wrong.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Like this is this is what you refer to as
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: political harassment, because that's what this is. This is this
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: is political harassment. This is what Marxists and socialists and
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: communists do. And by the way, the Democratic Socialist America,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: they are communists or Marxists. That's what they are. And
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: so they are going to weaponize the government. Not because
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you they're going to do it, but it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: because that is what they are saying. They have said
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: they are going to weaponize the government. I will go
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: back to this Congresswoman. She's telling you I'm weaponizing the government.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: So I think there's a number of cabinet secretaries that
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: think they better get ready because we'll come for them.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Congressman Melanie Stansbury, thank you so much.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Thank you for doing this. Thank
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: you for weaponizing our government. That's what MSNOW basically is saying.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: No follow-up. Yep.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: There it is, America. You hate Donald Trump. You want
• 15:36
