Trump Allies were Labeled ‘Russian Assets’ plus Can Iran Wait Out Trump? · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It seems this is a pretty good news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It is good news, and I could not help but
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: note that the annual rate of course EPI inflation, that's
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: excluding food and energy. Who you want energy out of
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: it because of the matter in Iran, take that out
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: two point five percent in July. That's back to where
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: it was prior to the start of the Iran conflict.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: This tells me that inflation is not spreading out beyond energy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: beyond gasoline prices.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Good news.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: the forty seven Morning Update. And we got two major
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: stories coming out of the White House. The deep State
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: we are now learning and the FBI labeled the Secretary
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: of State Mike Pompeo and the Attorney General Bill Barr
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: as quote conduits of Russian disinformation. Just how corrupt was
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: the deep state? We expose it all. Also, we have
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: news coming out of a Rand that the IRGC is
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: now saying they want to prolong the war to outlast
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Tunnald Trump in office. So what does that mean for
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: America's play. We'll have that for you as well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: All right now.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Before we get to that, I got to talk to
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: you about something that I'm having a blast playing with,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: and that is Calshe. The elections are here, and the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six primaries they're taking shape, and you can
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: now trade the biggest political races on Calshee. Now, on Calshe,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: you can trade major primaries, election outcomes, and the biggest
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: political stories as they happen. Let me give you an
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: example of one of the races that I'm looking at,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and that's the Texas Senate race. Right now, I can
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: say that Ken Paxson, as I'm doing this, I believe
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: he's gonna win. If I put one hundred dollars on it,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the chances the odds is forty eight percent chance. My
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: max payout November third, twenty twenty seven, two hundred nine
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: dollars and forty seven cents. I love looking at these
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: swing states. I love looking at Maine, in Michigan, Ohio,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: and North Carolina. And you can do the same right now.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Now again, you can look at so many different elections.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You can even get on on the twenty twenty eight
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: elections right now as well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: One of the interesting ones is jd Vance.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Marco Rubio, AOC over Gavin Newsom, who is going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: have the twenty twenty eight US presidential election winner. That
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: is up there as well. You can even look at
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: the VP nominee. It is a blast. Now Onkelchy, your
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: trade against peers in a live market, meaning there's no
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: house and the probability changes, you can buy in and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: out of your position. Now, I want you to download
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Calshie app and use the code ben. All right, if
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: you use the code Ben, you get twenty dollars when
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: you trade twenty dollars. That's ka l Shi Calci trade
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: on anything. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: starts right now.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: In a shocking report, the Federal Bureau of Investigations allegedly
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: labeled people such as the former Secretary of State Might
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Pompeo and the former Attorney General Bill Barr that would
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: be the boss of the FBI as conduits quote unquote
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: of Russian disinformation. According to this recent report. The report
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: from Just the News revealed that a spreadsheet that was
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: recovered from the US Intelligence Agency files and that the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: White House Government Transparency Task Force made public quote unquote,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: contained names such as the former Secretary of State Hillary
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Clinton and former President Barack Obama, along with Pompeo and Barr.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: While people like Barr and Pompeo were labeled as quote
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: conduits of Russian disinformation, peoples such as Hillary Clinton and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama were labeled as targets. This is not a joke.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: A spreadsheet that was recovered from US Intelligence agency files
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: and has now been made public Wednesday by the White
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: House Government Transparency Task Force shows that spy agencies and
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: the FBI created a list of more than six dozen
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: prominent organizations, Americans or foreigners who became figures and the
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Biden family Ukraine scandal, and that the twenty nineteen impeachment
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: proceedings against President Donald Trump as well. Now the spreadsheet,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: and again this is not a joke, neatly divided figures
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: along one issue you ready for it, political affiliations, in
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: other words, political party lines. They had the Democrats like
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the Bidens, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, George Soros
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: listed is victimized quote unquote targets of Russian disinformation. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: then the other side, the Conservatives, the Republicans, groups like
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Fox News one, America News, even filmmaker Michael Computo and
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani as quote conduits for disinformation.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Even the late Senator Lindsay Graham and Representative Jim Jordan
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: were also labeled quote conduits. An administration official explain to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the outlet that the labeling of people as either a
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: conduit or a target of disinformation was reportedly part of
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a secret counterintelligence operation code name Round River. It was
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: launched apparently during the twenty twenty election cycle.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: The report from the outlet also noted that an FBI
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: letter that's now been made public showed that the FBI
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: had identified at least fourteen different informatis who are quote
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: providing derogatory information on the bidens. In other words, this
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: was a political hit list, a political enemies list, a
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: list of Republicans that the deep state wanted to target
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: and silence. Now In the letter to the White House
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Government Transparency Task Force, the FBI Director Cash Patel also
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: stated that the FBI was quote investigating weather. The Foreign
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Influenced Task Force, known as FtF used information learn from
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the Round River assessment to undermine or influence ongoing investigations.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: The FBI director Patel also said the task force was
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: terminated on his watch. Now, there were also other internal
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: reviews of the FtF, and they're not yet complete. We've
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: been told that we know that the investigation used in
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: information learn from the Round River assessment. And the real
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: question that everyone needs to be asking now is this
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: was the fitf using information it was learned from the
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Round River assessment to then undermine or then influence ongoing
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: investigations by only focusing on the subset of confidential human
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: sources involving the bidens. That is what Patel reportedly has
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: said in the letter. Now, if you take a step
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: back and you say, okay, so what does this actually mean.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: What it means is that our government apparently was having
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: lists that were put together. One list to say that
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: if you're a Democrat, we automatically are going to treat
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you like you are a victim and then our job
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: is to protect you. And the other list, which is
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: if you were a conservative or a Republican, including a
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: news organization like Fox News, then if you were the target,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: you were the one that was pushing the propaganda against
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: the quote democrats and so therefore you should be investigated.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: This is the most shocking list that we've seen todate
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: because it showed as those they believed were friends of Russia,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: those that were advocates of what they described as Russian
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: disinformation campaigns to influence America. The people on that list
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: that the deep state was going after were people like
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the Secretary of State and the man who was the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Attorney General, Bill Barr of the United States of America.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And what's even more shocking than that is the people
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: that were quote doing the investigation, who were putting these
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: people on the list, were supposed to be serving the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: people that were on this list. You talk about the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: deep state, you talk about the swamp, you talk about
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: those that were fighting against Donald Trump and other conservatives.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: This is exactly what we thought was happening.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And now we have the data, the receipts, the emails,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the lists that are being made public. The question now
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: is who is creating the list? Are those people still
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: in our government? And will there be accountability for this?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: That is the question so many Americans are asking, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: based on this being released now, there's a very good
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: chance that we're headed towards that type of accountability. Next
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: story number two, we now have some breaking news that
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: a top advisor to the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Guard is now saying that Tehran could deliberately prolong its
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: war with the United States of America in an effort
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: to outlast President Donald Trump, as Washington now doubles down
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: on a quote wall of steel naval blockade that the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: US and Israeli officials say.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Is officials say is.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Steadily worse, saying the Islamic Republic's economic crisis quote. One
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: way is to prolong the war until we get the
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: next term of the presidency and cause attrition so that
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: if anyone else wants to attack Iran, they will know
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: there is a cost. That is what the brigadier general
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: told PBS in a rare interview that was published on Tuesday. Now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: the long time senior IRGC figure who served as the
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Forces Coordinating Deputy from nineteen to twenty twenty five and
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: now serves a senior advisor to its commander, laid out
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the potential strategy as Iran's newly reshuffled military leadership increasingly
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: prepares for a prolonged confrontation, as they described it with
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Washington and specifically with Donald Trump. Quote, we have to
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: obtain deterrent so that the enemy never dares to attack us,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: so we can live with security.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: This general went on to argue that time would fail Tehran,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: claiming the conflict has given Iran valuable experience fighting the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: United States, while exposing the American military is quote weaker
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: than what we perceived. The longer this war lasts, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: more experience we gain, is what the ERGC official said.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: He added that Iran had never previously experienced a war
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: that allowed it to learn firsthand how to fight the
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: United States, but claim that in these five months we
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: have learned how yet again clearly showing that this is
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: something they're using as massive propaganda.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Here's more of that interview.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: No, we have not yet reached our final objective. This
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: is clear. Up until now, we are victorious. In the
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: future we will continue to be victorious. The longer this
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: war lasts, the more experience we gained. We had never
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: seen a real war to gain real experience to learn
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: how to fight with America. In these five months we
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: have learned how. We have also seen how the American
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: military is weaker than what we perceived.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Now this is clearly not only propaganda that's going to
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the people in Iran, but also to the world. The
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: White House, by the way, answered the proposed attrition strategy
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: with a blunt warning to Tehran, saying, quote, it would
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: be wise for Rand to agree to a deal, The
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: White House told PBS in response to their interview, saying, quote,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: otherwise they know what will happen now. This proposal to
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: try to outlast Trump runs directly against the strategy that
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: President Trump has increasingly embraced maintain overwhelming military leverage around
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Iran while allowing the blockade, frozen assets, sanctions, and Tehran's
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: mounting economic problems to steadily tighten the pressure.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Quote.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: The USA has total control over the Strait of Hormus.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I think we will keep it, Donald Trump declared on
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: True Social saying our naval blockade is being called by
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: everyone a wall of steel, and there is nothing Iran
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: can do about it now. The President Trump was not
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: finished there. He went on to say they have no navy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: they have no air force, Their remaining soldiers are unpaid,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: the IRGC is decimated in fleeing, and their leadership quote
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: unquote is uncertain at best. They have no money, their
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: country is shot. All they have is fake news. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: three hundred percent inflation and getting worse. Iran is all
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: talk and no action. The bully of the Middle East
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: is no longer. Praise be to Allah. President Donald J.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Trump. That was his latest true social tweet.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Now, all of this rhetoric coming from the IRGC commander
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: who did this interview, comes after we learned the bigger
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: story that the Iranian government was apparently trying to assassinate
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump yet again and there was a major threat
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: against the president Air Force one. Now that story was
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: obviously one that was breaking while they were deciding to
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: do this interview with PBS. Let me remind you of
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: some of those details of the reporting came in from Fox.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: If it's the very latest, Hey Trey, Yeah, Hey guys,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: good morning. It's a story that has captured the world
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: attention this week, a threat by the Iranian regime on
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: President Trump's life in Turkey. Last month. The Wall Street
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: Journal reports it was actually Israeli intelligence that tipped off
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: the administration to a specific danger. The report explains the
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: sourcing on this information, saying the US official said Israel
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: brief the Trump administration on the intelligence, which included a
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: threat to use shorder to air missiles to target Air
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Force One. Ultimately, the President was reportedly moved from Air
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Force One to another plane using a catering truck. Fox
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: has not independently confirmed that detail.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So, President, can you tell us about your ride on
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the airport catering truck in Perty?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Why did you need to do that? Well, up to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. I just follow what they'd like to do.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: So I go by Secret Service and the military. They
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: wanted me to go in a different flight, a different plane,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: equal safety. But hey, they wanted me to do it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: so I do it. I do what they say.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: President Trump yet again there saying hey, I'm not giving
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: you the exact story that you want me to confirm,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: but stating yes, he did go on a different plane.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: So you look at all of this and you see
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: where we are now. It is very clear the Presidence
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: putting maximum pressure on Iran, doing everything can to choke
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: hold their economy. Inflation is now at three hundred percent
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: or more, and the Iranian i ERGC radicals are saying
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: they want to try to wait out the president. That
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: would be a very long two plus years. The President
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: saying he wants to get this deal done, but he
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: will continue to use maximum pressure to do everything he
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: can to have a RAN's leadership full.
