  Speaker 1: Today we declare again that America is going to be
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: greater than ever before. It's going to be great. You know,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I had a little expression that I came up with
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: called make America great Again. Mega.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Who thought that was going to happen when we first
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: said it ten years ago.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Good Saturday morning.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Nice to have you with us on the forty seven
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Morning Update, and we've got two big stories for you.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: First up, we are finding out more now than ever
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: before about how the government was labeling people they didn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: like his quote, conduits of Russian disinformation, and you'll be
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: even more shocked to say who was on their list
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that are victims that should be protected. Also, we take
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a look and break down there Wisconsin election results. Some
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: are cheering on the fact that one of the radicals
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the DSA lost the election, but did they really lose?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: The details tell a very different story.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I also want to say something really important that I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: want you to be able to get involved in right now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and that is simply praying for the people of Israel.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Though the headlines may change, the threats facing Israel remain.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: While much of the world has moved on to the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: next story. Israeli families continue living with the reality of terrorism, uncertainty,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and recovery. Communities remain unalert, and parents still think twice
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: before seeing their children to school. Families continue rebuilding their lives,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: knowing that the next siren could come without warning now,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: as Christians were called to stand with God's children in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: times of need. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and Jews remains on the ground in the Holy Land.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Each and every day. They are providing life saving aid,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: food for the struggling families, emergency assistants, bomb shelters, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: critical support for those impacted by war. Even after the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: cameras leave in the headline's fate, the Fellowship remains committed
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to Israel's most vulnerable. So I want you to join
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in simply praying
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: for the people of Israel, for protection, for strength, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: for lasting peace. Together we can remind God's people that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: they are not alone. You can stand with Israel in
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: prayer today by visiting Prey IFCJ dot org. It's real simple,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that's prey IFCJ dot org. It's the forty seven Morning
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: update and it starts right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Now, story number one.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: In a shocking report, the Federal Bureau of Investigations allegedly
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: labeled people such as the former Secretary of State Mike
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Pompeo and the former Attorney General Bill Barr that would
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: be the boss of the FBI as conduits quote unquote
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of Russian disinformation, according to this recent report. The report
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: from Just the News revealed it a spreadsheet that was
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: recovered from the US Intelligence Agency files and that the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: White House Government Transparency Task Force made public quote unquote
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: contain names such as the former Secretary of State Hillary
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Clinton and former President Barack Obama, along with Pompeo and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: bar While people like Barr and Pompeo were labeled as
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: quote conduits of Russian disinformation, peoples such as Hillary Clinton
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and Barack Obama were labeled as targets.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: This is not a joke.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: A spreadsheet that was recovered from US Intelligence Agency files
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and has now been made public Wednesday by the White
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: House Government Transparency Task Force shows that spy agencies and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the FBI created a list of more than six dozen
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: prominent organizations, Americans or foreigners who became figures in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Biden family Ukraine scandal, and that the twenty nineteen impeachment
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: proceedings against President Donald Trump as well. Now the spreadsheet,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and again this is not a joke. Neatly divided figures
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: along one issue you ready for it, political affiliations, in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: other words, political party lines. They had the Democrats like
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, George Soros
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: listed as victimized quote unquote targets of Russian disinformation. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: then the other side, the Conservatives, the Republicans, groups like
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Fox News One, American News, even filmmaker Michael Computo and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani as quote conduits for disinformation.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Even the late Senator Lindsay Graham and Representative Jim Jordan
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: were also labeled quote conduits. An administration official explain to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the outlet that the labeling of peoples either a conduit
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: or a target of disinformation was reportedly part of a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: secret counterintelligence operation code name Round River. It was launched
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: apparently during the twenty twenty election cycle. Now, the report
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: from the outlet also noted that an FBI letter that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: now been made public showed that the FBI had identified
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: at least fourteen different informants who were quote providing derogatory
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: information on the bidens.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: In other words, this.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Was a political hit list, a political enemies list, a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: list of Republicans that the deep state wanted to target
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and silence. Now, in the letter to the White House
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Government Transparency Task Force, the FBI Director Cash Pattel also
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: stated that the FBI was quote investigating weather the Foreign
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Influenced Task Force, known as FTA use information learn from
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the Round River assessment to undermine or influence ongoing investigations.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: The FBI director Patel also said the task force was
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: terminated on his watch. Now, there were also other internal
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: reviews of the FtF, and they're not yet complete. We've
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: been told that we know that the investigation used information
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: learn from the Round River assessment. And the real question
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that everyone needs to be asking now is this was
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the FtF using information it was learned from the Round
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: River assessment to then undermine or then influence ongoing investigations
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: by only focusing on the subset of confidential human sources
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: involving the bidens.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That is what Patel reportedly has said in the letter.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Now, if you take a step back and you say, okay,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: so what is this act actually mean. What it means
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is that our government apparently was having lists that were
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: put together. One list to say that, if you're a Democrat,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: we automatically are going to treat you like you are
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a victim, and then our job is to protect you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And the other list, which is if you were a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: conservative or a Republican, including a news organization like Fox News,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: then you were the target. You were the one that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: was pushing the propaganda against the quote Democrats, and so
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: therefore you should be investigated. This is the most shocking
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: list that we've seen today because it showed as those
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they believed were friends of Russia, those that were advocates
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of what they described as Russian disinformation campaigns to influence America.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: The people on that list that the deep state was
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: going after were people like the Secretary of State and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the man who is the Attorney General, Bill Barr of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the United States of America. And what's even more shocking
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: than that is the people that were quote doing the investigation,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: who were putting these people on the list. We're supposed
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to be serving the people that were on this list.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: You talk about the deep state, you talk about the swamp,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you talk about those that were fighting against Donald Trump
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and other conservatives.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: This is exactly what we thought was happening.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And now we have the data, the receipts, the emails,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the lists that are being made public. The question now
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is who was creating the list? Are those people still
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in our government? And will there be accountability for this?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: That is the question so many Americans are asking, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: based on this being released now, there's a very good
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: chance that we're headed towards that type of accountability. Next
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: story number two, something happened Tuesday night in Wisconsin that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: conservatives should pay very close attention to because after months
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: of headlines talking about the Democratic Socialists of America and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the fact that they're marching through the Democratic Party, the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: socialist's favorite just got stopped in one of the most
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: important swing states in America. Now, that could be good news,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: but it also could tell you about how close they've gotten,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: which could be a big warning sign as well. The
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Democratic Socialists Hong lost the Democratic primary for the governor
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to the Milwaukee County executive, David Crowley, and this was
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: not the outcome many people expected. Hong had been widely
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: viewed as the front runner, and Crowley's victory is being
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: described as nothing but an upset. Axios report that Crowley
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: won by only around three thousand votes, after internal polling
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: had reportedly shown him trailing Hong by nearly twenty points.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The other question is how the posters get it so wrong. Now,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the socialist candidate looked like she was cruising towards a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: major victory. She had the energy, she had the activists,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: she had, the momentum coming from the Democratic Party's increasingly
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: powerful progressive winging. In fact, the polls showing that she
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: was up by twenty maybe the reason why she actually
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: lost because many people that were going to vote for
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: her thought they didn't need to show up on election
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: day because it was already a foregone conclusion that she
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: was going to win. And then Wisconsin Democrats slammed on
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the brakes is another way you could interpret this story.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Now, this matters because.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin isn't some deep blue congressional district in New York City.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It's literally Wisconsin. It's one of the ultimate American battleground states. Now,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump won Wisconsin in twenty sixteen, Joe Biden won
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it in twenty twenty and then it switched back to
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Trump again in twenty twenty four, and now Republicans have
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: nominated Congressman Tom Tiffany, who is endorsed by President Trump,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to run against Crowley in November. So why should conservatives
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: find hope in what just happened? Well, in a basic level,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: because the socialist movement is discovering that winning an activist
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: driven democratic primary in a deep blue district is very
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: different from convincing an entire battleground state to embrace your radical,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: extreme ideology.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's one way again to look at it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The other is this, and it's more pessimistic, but it
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: may also be very true. The real reason why hang
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: loss is because the polls showed that there was no
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: way she was really going to lose. If you're up
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: twenty points in a primary, many of your supporters are
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: much less likely to show up on election day to
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: vote for you. So this could be great news. It
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: also could be terrible news. Hung wasn't hiding, by the way,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: what she represented. She was identifying openly as a democratic socialist.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: She had joined the Wisconsin Assembly Socialist Caucus and had
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: previously received the endorsement of the Madison chapter of the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Democratic Socialists of America now Democratic voters, they had to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: decide who they wanted to representing their party statewide. Enough
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of them concluded, at least an election day that going
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: further left was a risk they weren't willing to take,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: meaning they would lose the state to the conservative or
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the Republican candidate. Or it could be what I said
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a moment ago, maybe they all just assumed she was
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: going to win by so much that so many people
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: in the state that are Democrats stayed home and said,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to waste my time. That very well
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: could be why she lost this race. Now I don't
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: say that to be a Debbie Downer. I say it
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: because my job is to tell you what I think
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: actually happened, and I think that's probably what happened in
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: this case. The headlines and the media had already anointed
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Hong and said that Hong was going to win. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: when you say that, it is the kiss of death
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: in politics. If anything, you want people to be inspired
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to go vote for you, if they support you, you
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: don't want them to feel like they're wasting their time.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And it's a foregone conclusion that you are the winner.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: There's many that believe that this is exactly why Hillary
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Clinton lost to Donald Trump in twenty sixteen, because the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: media had already said she was breaking the glass ceiling.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: The media and the polls already said she was going
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to win by a large margin. It was a massive
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: upset and election night that I celebrated when Donald Trump won,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but it was a cautionary tale. At the same time,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: there was quite a few Democrats and some swing states
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: that stayed home that did not go vote for Hillary Clinton,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and we may be witnessing exactly that right now.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: The biggest takeaway is this was the Democratic Party crushing
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the socialists on Tuesday night in Wisconsin. No, is the
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Democratic socialists Marxist communist.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Movement so live and well.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, is this a small victory for conservatives and for sanity. Absolutely,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But is this a trend that could be saying we're
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: maybe coming back to sanity.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I do not believe that's what this is.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I believe what we witnessed was an over confident Marxist
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: communist socialist voter who believed that they were going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: run away with an election night in a primary against
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a Democrat they thought was going to lose. Now, Republicans
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have to also be careful because these people are going
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: to be way more inspired to show up on election day,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: which is exactly what my concern is nationwide on midterm
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: election night, these types of losses can turn into bigger
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: victories because now there's a rallying cry for the socialists
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: in America to show up on election day, and we
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: as conservatives need to make sure we don't take election
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: day for granted either. We need to make sure we
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: show up and vote, otherwise the story could change in
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: just a few months to say that Republicans got blown
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: out on election night because they were overconfident.
