• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Marxists have it wrong because they deny the existence
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of your creator himself, and that means you're just another
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: social animal. You're just part of the herd. That's the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: basis of socialism. And you know what happens in that scenario.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The people that amass the power will control and direct
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the hurd. You lose your freedom. It's a road to tyranny.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: If you're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Ben ferguson.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Good Monday morning.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: So nice to have you with us on the forty
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: seven Morning Update. And we've got a lot to talk
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: about this morning, including the President of the United States of
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: America making it clear that Iran is going to be
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: hit hard this after two Americans were killed and Jordan
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: after Iranian air strikes. So what's going to happen next.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: We'll explain it all to you. But before we get
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: to that, I want to talk to you real quick
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: about your cell phone. If you have a cell phone
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: right now, you may not realize what's actually happening when
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: you pay your bill every month. You may not realize
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: that there are woke companies out there that take your
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: dollars and they give them the hardcore left to organizations.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: And that's why I made the switch to Patriot Mobile.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't want my money going to abortion providers. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: didn't want my money going to anti Second Amendment groups.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't want my money going to hardcore leftist candidates.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Well you may not realize it, but Big Mobile gives
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: big donations to many of those exact individuals and organizations,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: and that is why the stakes could not be higher.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: We finally have a president and administration fighting hard to
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: put America first. But if conservatives like you and I
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: lose focus, well, the same people that created the mess
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: we're in right now, they're waiting to resume their destruction.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: And that's why I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Because not only is Patriot Mobile America's only Christian conservative
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: wireless provider, they also offer you premium priority nationwide service
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and all three major networks, unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: international roaming, small business solutions.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: They got it all.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Plus their business is one hundred percent US based customer support,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: meaning you're gonna talk to a hard working American.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Now, this is where the magic happens.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: They literally put millions of dollars each year to organizations
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: that are fighting on the front lines and fighting for
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: God given rights. I'm talking about standing up to not
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: only defend our faith, but our family and our freedoms.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: So does it cost you any extra? It does not.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Switch your bill right now and make a difference. Patriot
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Mobile dot com slash ben forty seven.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You'll get a free month of service.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: That's Patriotmobile dot com slash ben forty seven for a
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: free month of service. Or call them nine to seven
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot or Patriotmobile
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: dot com slash ben forty seven and make that switch today.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's a forty seven morning update and it starts right now.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I want to get to another story that's really important,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: and that is this. Donald Trump is now suggesting that
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Republicans at Iran to the Russian sanctions bill. This is
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: a very new development, the President suggesting the Republicans in
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Congress add Iran to the Russian sanctions bill, noting that
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: it is what the late Center Lindsey Graham wanted to do,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: which is a very interesting perspective.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Republicans should add Iran to the Russian sanctions bill, Trump
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: said a post on true social Not only is it
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: what Lindsey Graham wanted to do, it was going to happen,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and then he put in all caps important now. In
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: April of twenty twenty five, Graham introduced the Sanctioning Russia
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Act of twenty twenty five, which has received a recent
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: momentum after having been stalled in Congress. Trump called to
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: add Iran to the sanctions bill, and that also comes.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: The United States has resumed its conflict of the Ran
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: with a series of major attacks and an end to
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: negotiations to end the conflict. According to the Latest News,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration has for over a week quote resumed
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: its conflict with I Ran with a series of attacks
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and ending the negotiations. Of course, the conflicts started with
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: joint US Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. The
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: US military launch retalatory attacks Saturday in response to Iranian strikes.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: It's all two service members killed in Jordan, and we're
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: gonna deal with that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Breaking news as well.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: In a moment, Trump also called these desks quote a
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: very sad thing. Several lawmakers such as sat Tom Cotton
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: from Arkansas, Tim Scott from South Carolina, they've now expressed
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: that Trump was right and noted that Iran and Russia
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: posed grave threats to America as well as American allies.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: President Trump is right as well as Russia may pay
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: more for their attacks on the civilized world. Is what
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Cotton said in the post on X today. He said,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: tomorrow I will introduce legislation that permanently extends the Iranian
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Sanctions Act. That is obviously a major deal. Now the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: President putting us out there, in Tom Cotton putting out there,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: this means this is orchestrated, coordinated, and planned as a
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: response to what Iran is doing killing American servicemen.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Iran and Russia pose the grave threats to America and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: our allies, is what Senator Scott wrote in a post
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: on X saying their MILND cooperation makes both them more dangerous.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Referring to Iran and Russia. My bipartisan Solidify Iranian Sanctions
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Act would make sanctions on Iran permanent and give President
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Trump the tools to hold Iran accountable. Obviously, that is
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: moving very quickly as well. Now, why is all this
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: happening is one of the big questions many of you have.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Asked, and it's a fair question to ask.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Part of it is our response to the latest attacks
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: where two US service members have been killed and one
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: is missing in Iran strikes on Jordan. The two US
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: service members were killed one remains missing after Iran struck
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: American forces in Jordan, the US Central Command SENTCOM said
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. The command said the two troops were killed
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: in action Friday while defending against Iranian ballistic missiles and
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: drone attacks, and they confirmed four other service members were
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: That is the good news now.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: SINCOM announced the casualties in a statement posted on social
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: media on Saturday afternoon, saying, on July seventeenth, two US
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: service members in Jordan were killed in action at US
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Central Command and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missiles
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: an action mia at least two Iranian ballistic missiles we
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: now know hit the airbase there. The footage circulating on
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: social media showed the impact and then the heavy smoke
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: over the installation.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: The deaths of.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: The first American military fatalities since the war started in March.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Now The House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to that news,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: saying this praying for the loved ones of these brave
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: fallen American heroes, for the swift recovery of those injured,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and for the safe return of the missing service members.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Johnson wrote, May God bless our brave men and women
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: in uniform now. The Defense Secretary p Headseth also acknowledged
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: the desks, writing that the sacrifice only stiffens our resolve
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: quote unquote. The Iranian Supreme Leader also claimed the United
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: States had committed repeated breaches of the Memo of Understanding
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: sign last month, arguing a post over the weekend that
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: this signature of the US president was quote utterly worthless
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and devoid of credibility quote unquote. Now, the desk come
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: as Washington and Tehran are trading strikes for the past week,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: with the mid June ceasefire and shambles after Trump decleared
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: it quote unquote over and the reimposed that naval blockade
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: on a imports. Out of respect for the families, Syncom
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: said they will withhold additional information at this time, including
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the identities of the fallen warriors, until twenty four hours
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: after the necks of ken have been notified, SENTCOM said
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: in a statement. Now we also are learning this at
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: this hour. US forces began launching air strikes this evening
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: against Iran, starting at six pm Eastern time, five Central.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: This in retaliation they save for the attacks that killed
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: two American service members in Jordan. SENTCOM said as well
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: in their statement that the strikes were meant to further
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the street
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: of Hermus and to swiftly quote punish the Islamic Revolutionary
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Guard Corps behind the latest assault that claimed at least
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: two American lives.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Now you look.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: At all of what I just told you, and this
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: is obviously a lot that's happening. This is going to
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: probably be a very intense week for America's military against Iran.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: It does not look like Iran is anywhere close to
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: agreeing at this hour to.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Any sort of deal.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: It also is because the hardliners in Iran and the IRGC,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: they are undermining any type of diplomatic agreement, any type
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: of memo of understanding, any type of we're not going
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: to have nuclear weapons type scenarios in Iran. It seems
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: that the IRGC and the radicals in Iran are willing
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: to die on this hill literally because they are not
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: going to move. That changes the calculus for the President
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: and for the Pentagon and for Headset and others, because
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: now the question is how do you end this thing
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: and not lose American lives and not put American troops
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: on the ground, and do you do it by going
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: after Iran in a way that would also cause unfortunately
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: civilian casualties.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: We are really good at our strikes.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: That is something that we've proven throughout this world, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: we've also not struck certain things based on the intelligence
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I've been told about because we were prioritizing American lives.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Our only rephrase that civilian Iranian lives, and the Iranian radicals,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: the ergyc they know this. They put a lot of
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: their weapons depots and other things in certain areas where
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: they know that they'd be very hard for American American
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: to strike, and they clearly seem okay with this. That
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: is again a major problem. Now the question becomes what
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: will we do moving forward? Will we do anything moving
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: forward to stop this from happening in way that would
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: then take on these radicals and knowing what they're doing.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: That's a lot to digest. What seems pretty clear at
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: this point is that the President of the United States
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: America is made it abundantly clear that he is not
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: going to be bullied by Iran. He is not going
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: to allow them to take over the stratiform MEWS, He
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: is not going to have them be a nuclear Okay,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: and this is extremely important to understand.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: A nuclear power.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: You look at all that and you compare it to
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: what we're dealing with at this exact moment. What is
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: obvious is the President probably has only one choice. That
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: is to continue to hit Iran, and continue to hit
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Iran extremely hard, and we're probably going to have to
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: make some of those tough decisions that if Iran is
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: willing to put their citizens in harm's way, that's not
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: on us, that's on them. I also think it's very
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: clear that Americans do not want a lot of soldiers'
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: boots on the ground. You look at what just happened,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: the loss of life of these two soldiers. It hits
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: differently because there's so many Americans to say, do not
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: give us into this like a ground offensive. Do not
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: get us into a ground war where American troops, lives
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: are going to be at risk. So that also is
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the way that we're fighting war right now is also
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: very different than it was years ago. That's another aspect
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: of this that again has to be brought up. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: here we are in this new scenario. The President clearly
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: knows he needs to act. The President clearly knows that
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Iran must pay for what they've just done. And the
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: President also knows that Americans do not want ground forces
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: on the ground. That's why I think this next week
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: what you're going to witness is a signignificant increase in
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: aerial attacks.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: They will be massive. I feel pretty solid about that.
