• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Well, we have done that with many, So you have
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: eighteen Secret Service I would say if they're eighteen with
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, that will be something I look at this afternoon. Okay, sir,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I just heard about it for the first time. So
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he's in South Africa. That's very interstic.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with the unwelcome the forty
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: seven Morning Update. We've got three major stories for you
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: in first up, does the auto pen count with Joe
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Biden's name if he didn't actually even know that it
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: was being used. That is a question that Donald Trump
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: is asked about the pardons that he gave to many
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: on his days when he was going out of office,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: and we have reason to believe that many of those
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: pardons were not signed by the President's actual signature, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: instead by the auto pen. Also, Donald Trump spent quite
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: a few hours from last week to this week going
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: after terroris all over the Middle East. So what did
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: he accomplish. We'll explain that as well. And finally, President
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Trump says that the JFK files will be released today.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: How many pages I'll give that to you in a minute.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has made it very clear declaring that Biden's
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: pardons of January sixth committee members are void vacant due
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: to the auto pen apparently being used. This all started
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: in a conversation on Marine one when a reporter asked
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: a very simple question of the President about that auto pen.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Listen, I would say that danelan one, because I'm sure
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Biden didn't have any idea that it was taking Pliz
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: and somebody who was using an autopen to sign off
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: and to give the pardons to as an example, just
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: one example, with the j six unselected committee, they.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Gave think of it, they gave partners with an autopen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: I don't think Biden knew anything about it. And what
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: they did is they deleted and destroyed all of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: information that took them over a year to again. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the reason they did that is because the information was
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: very incriminating about them, like Nancy Pelosi who was determined
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: conclusively that she knew about ten thousand soldiers and turned
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: it down. And if we used five hundred soldiers, you
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: would add no problem. Let alone ten thousand, the young
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: lady that said that I granted these powerful young secret
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: service agents by the next ring. Okay, you know that
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: was a big hoax. It was a lie, and she
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: admitted it, and they deleted everything, so you know what
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: they did a scrimat.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Now, that wasn't all that the President had to say
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: on this. He then put out a true social post
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: that said, quote, the part ends that sleepy Joe Biden
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: gave the Unselect Committee of political thugs and many others
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: or effect because of the fact that they were done
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: by Auto Penn. In other words, Joe Biden did not
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: sign them, but more importantly, he did not know anything
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: about them. The necessary parting documents were not explained to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: or approved by Biden. He knew nothing about them, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: those on the Unselect Committee who destroyed and deleted all
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: evidence obtained during their two year witch on a me
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and many other innocent people should fully understand that they
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: are subject to investigation at the highest level. President went
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: on to say this quote, The fact is they were
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: probably responsible for the documents that were signed on their
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: behalf without the knowledge or consent of the worst president
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and history of our country, Crooked Joe Biden.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: On Monday, during a White House Press briefing, the White
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt responded to a question from
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: CNN's Caitlyn Collins regarding Trump's post on Sunday night in
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: which he declared the pardons are void, vacant, and of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: no further force or effect because of the fact that
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they were done by the auto pen. Carolyn Levitt said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Trump was begging the question, and I think a lot
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: of journalists in this room should be asking about whether
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: or not the former president of the United States, who
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I think we can all finally agree, was cognitively impaired,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: quote unquote.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: The President was begging the question that I think a
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: lot of journalists in this room should be asking about
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: whether or not the former president of the United States,
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: who I think we can all finally agree, was cognitively impaired.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: I know it took people some time to finally admit that,
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: but we all know that to be true, as evidence
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: by his disastrous debate performance against President Trump during the campaign.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: I digress on that but the President was raising the
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: point that did the President even know about these pardons?
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Was his legal signature use without his consent or knowledge?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: And that's not just the President or me raising those questions, Caitlin.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: According to The New York Post, there are Biden officials
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: from the previous White House who raised those questions and
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: wondered if the President was even consulted about his legally
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: binding signature being signed onto documents. And so I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: it's a question that everybody in this room should be
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: looking into because certainly that would propose perhaps criminal or
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: illegal behavior if staff members were signing the President of
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the United States autograph.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Without criminal or legal procedures. It's very clear now this
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: is going to be an issue that courts are going
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: to have to deal with, and one that Donald Trump
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: is happily raising the question was there illegal activity with
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: people signing Joe Biden's name without his knowledge or his consent?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Next story number two.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: One of Donald Trump's promises from the campaign trail was
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to go after terrorists all over the world, peace through strength,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to making sure that we strike first. Those they're trying
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to do harm to Americans are soldiers and American interests
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: around the world. Well Over the past week, Donald Trump
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: has intensified his counter terrorism efforts, both domestically and internationally.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Here is a quick summary of just some of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: things that the present has done. Airstrikes have been ordered.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Starting on March fifteenth, President Trump authorized large scale air
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: strikes targeting I ran back Hoothy rebels in Yemen's capital.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: This action was in response to the Houthis threat to
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: US shipping assets in the Red Sea. The offensive aims
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to protect American interests and ensure navigational freedom in the region.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, putting it this way in his own words
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: on True Social Today, I ordered the United States military
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: to launch decisive and powerful military action against the Houthy
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden's response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthi's
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: just kept going. It has been over a year since
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: a US flag commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: American warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: was attacked by the terrorist group over a dozen times.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Funded by Iran, the Hoothy thugs have fired missiles at
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: US aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. These relentless
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: assaults have cost the US and the world economy many
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: billions of dollars, while at the same time putting innocent
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: lives at risk. The Hoothy attack on American vessels will
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal flies until
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: shipping and one of the most important waterways of the world,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: grinding vast swaths of global commerce to a halt and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: attacking the core principle of freedom and navigation upon which
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: international trade and commerce depends. Our brave warfighters are right
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrace basis. They're
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: leaders and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: naval assets and to restore navigational freedom. No terrorist force
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the waterways of the world. To all the Houthy terrasts,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: nothing you've ever seen before. President Trump went on to
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: say to Iran support for the houthy terrists must end immediately.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Do not threaten them American people, their president, who has
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: received one of the largest mandates in presidential history, or
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, beware because America will
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: hold you fully accountable and we won't be nice about it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: That is the President's clear message to the terrorists right
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: now in the Middle East. Now, this message comes less
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: than twenty four hours after Trump also announced Friday night
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: that the US forces had killed the fugitive leader of
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: ISIS in Iraq. The White House even released the footage
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: of the airstrike on social media, making it clear that
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: President Trump will go and terminate any terrorist leader anywhere
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: he has to to keep American safe.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And here is story number three.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Transparency with our government is a core foundation of Donald
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Trump's second term in office, and that was one of
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: his big promises from the campaign trail. Even the biggest
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: secrets that we've never been able to actually know what
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: really happened. One of those secrets deals with the jfk assassination. Well,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: President Trump has announced that his administration will release today
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: approximately eighty thousand pages of previously classified documents related to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: major move towards transparency so that the American people, well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: hopefully we'll have more trust in our federal government.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: So people have been waiting for decades for this, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: I've instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: put together by Tulsea Gabbert, and that's going to be
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: released tomorrow.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: The decision to classify these documents fulfilled that promise. It
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: is to provide greater transparency, the White House says, regarding
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the events surrounding Kennedy's assassination in nineteen sixty three, during
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, President
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Trump stated, I don't believe we are going to redact anything.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Just don't redact. You can't redact. It's going to be
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: very interesting, quote unquote. Now, in addition to the JFK files,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the executive order signed by President Trump in January also
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: mandates the release of records pertaining to the assassinations of
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the civil rights leader Martin
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Luther King Junior. The NASAU Archives and Records Administration has
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: been tasked with processing and digitizing these records for public access.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Prior to the release, by the way, over ninety nine
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: percent of the approximately three hundred and twenty thousand documents
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: related to the JFK assassination had already been made public,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: but few more than four thousand, seven hundred files withheld
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: in part or in full. In other words, anything they
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: didn't want you to read, you didn't see. Well, Donald
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Trump now says, get ready to sit down and start
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: reading all of the information of the eighty thousand pages,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and you will be seeing that today.
