  Speaker 1: Developers. You're not allowed to do anything more. They put
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: restrictors on the use of a restrictor where you could
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: take it out, but now they weld it in. And
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you take a shower, wash your hands, whatever you do,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: including dishwashes when no water comes out, but you wash
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your hands. And in my case, I like to take
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a nice shower and take care of my beautiful air.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump, we're now being told is in direct conversations
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: with Iran and also talking to militias in Iraq about disarmament. Also,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: you may remember the COVID mandate in the military is
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: no longer a thing. Well now the government official behind
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: that mandate has been fired. And finally, there is a
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: constitutional crisis happening in this country as district judges are
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: doing nationwide injunctions to stop Donald Trump's executive actions. Will
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: now Senat Republicans are saying uh huh, and they're getting
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: involved to take away power from some of.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: These activist judges.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: It's some very important international news the Prime Minister of Israel,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanya, who met with Donald Trump at the White House.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: But one of the biggest things that came out of
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the conversation was some breaking news that Donald Trump announced
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: about having direct talks with a Ran over their nuclear
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: weapons program. Present saying this at the White House, sitting
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: next to BB.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We're having direct talks with Art and they've started. It'll
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and the obvious is not something that I want to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to be
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: involved with if they can avoid it. So we're going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to be very dangerous territory and hopefully those talks will
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: be successful, and I think it would be Intern's best
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: interests if they are successful. We hope that's going to happen,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and we had just a lot of good talks on
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of things.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Now, as President Trump was saying this in the Oval Office,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Reuters came out with an exclusive report saying that Iran
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: back militias in Iraq are ready to disarm to avert
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: what they describe as a Trump wrath.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: That's right coming out of Baghdad.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Several powerful Iranian back militia groups in Iraq are prepared
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to disarm for the first time to avert the threat
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of an escalating conflict with the US Trump administration. That
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: is what ten senior commanders and Iraqi officials said to Reuters.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: The move to to fuse.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January. According
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to sources who include six local commanders of four major militias,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the militias operating on its soil, America could target the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: groups with air strikes. A senior Muslim politician close to
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Iraq's government's alliance also towed Reuters that discussions between the
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Prime Minister and several militia leaders were quote very advanced
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and the groups were inclined to comply with US calls
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: for disarmament. The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: on continuing in their current form, he said, adding that
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: the groups were fully aware they could be targeted by
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: US air strikes. The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: by Reuters at a southern province who requested obviously eminemity
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: to discuss the sense of situation, are from multiple different groups.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Many of them also it ties to Iran. Trump is
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: ready to take the war with us to worse levels.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: We know that, one of the commanders said, and we
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: want to avoid such a bad scenario. The most powerful
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Sheite militia also saying that it's time for us to
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: find a way to work together.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You cannot make this up. Why are they doing this now?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Because they've witnessed what the president's doing with other leaders
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that he decides to take out isis leaders and the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: president making it clear that if you don't get a
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: deal now, well you're probably going to end up dead.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: The commander said, their main ally and patron, Iran's elite
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Revolutionary Guards military force, has given them its blessing to
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: take whatever decisions they deem necessary to avoid being drawn
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: into a potentially ruinous conflict with the United States and Israel.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: The moral of the story is even Iran's military understands
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that right now is not a time to mess with
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration, and this may be exactly why they're
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: willing to talk directly with the Trump administration to avert
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: military strikes from a president that says he's not bluffing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Next story number two.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: It will go down in history as one of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: worst moves ever made by any administration, especially when it
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: came to military readiness. Between twenty twenty one and twenty
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: twenty three, approximately eight thousand, two hundred plus US military
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: service members were discharged for refusing to comply with the
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Department of Defense's radical COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. This figure
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: encompasses personnel from all branches of the military well. In
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: January of twenty twenty five, President Donald Trump signed an
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: executive order directing the reinstatement of these service members with
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: full back pay and benefit. As of April of twenty
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: twenty five, the Army has re enlisted over twenty three
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: soldiers who were previously discharged for vaccine refusal. Other branches
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: are actively reaching out to eligible former service members to
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: facilitate the return to service. Well, we now know who
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: is behind that decision that clearly discriminated against your right to,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you know, choose what you're going to do with your vaccines.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: A senior CIA official was the one who facilitated Biden's
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: military COVID nineteen vaccine mandate. Terry Adiim, a senior Intelligence
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Agency official and former senior Defense official who played a
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: pivotal role and potentially illegal role in the Biden administration's
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: military vaccine mandate, has been fired from the agency. That
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: coming from Breitbart News. Adiam is a former senior Biden
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: appointee at the Department of Defense who was performed the
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: duties of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and had decamped in December to the CIA as director
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of CIA's Center for Global Health Services until about a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: week ago. According to sources, her firing was related to
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a role enforcing service members to choose between taking a
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: vaccine that was under emergency use authorization or being kicked out.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: According to sources, now on September the fourteenth of twenty
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: twenty one, that was About a month after the Defense
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Secretary of Lloyd Austin ordered the vaccine mandate, at Ourim
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: issued a memo instructing the DoD healthcare providers to consider
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the vaccine available to service members, giving multiple ones, saying
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: they were interchangeable even though they were not approved by
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the FDA. In fact, per her guidance that she wrote,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: she said, the two vaccines are interchangeable and DoD healthcare
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: providers should use doses distributed under the EUA to administer
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: the vaccination series as if the doses were the listn's vaccine. Translation,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: if you don't have the Pfizer vaccine, we got another
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: one that'll eventually get approved, so just you know, go
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: with that one now. Our memo was considered legally dubious
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: even inside the Pentagon.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: That was reported also by bright Bart News.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: In September of twenty twenty two, a month after Adam
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: issued her memo, a senior Defense official proposed allowing service
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: members who did not want to take the EUA vaccine
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: to wait for the FDA approved vaccine before facing punishment
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: for being unvaccinated. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health, Threadiness,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Policy and Oversight, David Smith proposed in a draft memo
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: that would replace the Adiram memo, saying quote, if a
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: service member, after medical consulting declines, the administration of the
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: EUA manufactured product DoD healthcare providers should engage with their
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: logistics change is secure and administer the manufactured bio Pfiser
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: in tech product prior to any punitive action being taken
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: against a service member. Right, this actually seems to make
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: some sense. I don't know what this is. I don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: want it my body. I'd rather wait for the Pfizer
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: biointech one. That's what I want to do. And what
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: did the military say? Well, no, that is not what
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: happened at all. Smith's actions memo was addressed to Adaim
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: with a recommendation for her to sign the draft memo
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: with a proposed change. According to documents obtained by Breitbart News,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the draft memo had been sent to the military services
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: for coordination, and a senior Air Force official objected to it,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: arguing that adopting the change could open the military up
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: for more litigation and possibly force it to reverse punishments
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: already given to those that had not taken the vaccine.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: So now you know how little they actually cared in
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the Biden administration about those men and women that are
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: willing to die for this country. And they looked at
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: them as a headache. And we're willing to give them
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: a vaccine that actually hadn't been approved yet. And what
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: do they do to those service members that said they
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: had real concerns, They said, you're fired.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Well, now at.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Least the woman who wrote that memo has also been fired.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Paying off with what Donald Trump said, I'm going to
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: get back into office and I'm going to put our
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: war fighters at the forefront of my advocacy.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And here is story number three.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: There is a real constitutional crisis happening in America right now,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: nationwide injunctions coming from many different judges purposely to hamstring
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: President Trump's agenda. Pambonni, the Attorney General of the United States,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: saying this about what is happening with these activist judges
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: and these injunctions.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: The president is going to comply with the law. He
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: States citizens to be our commander in chief, and that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: what he's been doing. Shannon. Just since January twentieth, we've
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: had over one hundred and seventy lawsuits filed against us.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: That should be the constitutional crisis right there. Fifty injunctions
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: they're popping up every single day, trying to control his
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: executive power, trying to control where he believes our tax
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: dollars should be allocated. And saying he won by an
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: overwhelming majority is so important because that's what the American
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: people want, what President Trump campaigned on, and what he
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: want on, and he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: None of us can keep up with him every single day,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: and so it's just we're going after all of these lawsuits.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: We're defending them all. We just got a great win
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: and will continue to fight.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Will continue to fight.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Well, now there are people in Congress that are standing
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: with the president over this constitutional crisis. We now know
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: that Senator Grassley is unveiling a bill to boost Donald
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Trump in court and most importantly, emit the powers of
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: these radical activist judges. Congressional Republicans are now hoping to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: turn the tide on the legal setbacks of President Trump's
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: executive actions with a bill to weaken the federal judiciary.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley introducing a measure
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: to prohibit district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, rulings
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: he believes are unconstitutional and should apply only to a
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: lawsuit's individual parties involved, and not an injunction on the
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: entire country. Grassley said the wave of anti democratic injunctions
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: against actions taken by the president. Said that these federal
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: judges had become the favorite tool of those seeking to
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: obstruct President Trump's agenda. Individual district judges, who don't even
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: have authority over any of the other ninety two district courts,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: are single handedly vetoing policies the American people elected President
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Trump to implement. Grassli said in a statement from the
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: four the Senate. In short, I'm trying to fix a
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: bipartisan problem that has been plaguing both Democratic and Republican
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: administrations alike. Senator Cruz also sounding of the alarm at
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: a Judiciary committee hearing about these activist judges.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: It's long been said that hypocrisy is the tribute that
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: vice pays to virtue. I have to admit I'm enjoying
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: listening to my Democrat colleagues suddenly discover the virtues of
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: the rule of law after four years where they brazenly
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: supported the most lawless Department of Justice and the most
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: We just heard the Senator from Rhye Island talk about
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: the imperative of protecting judges, and yet not a single
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: outside Supreme Court justices homes, including I might note female
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: justices like Justice Amy Cony Barrett, threatening their family. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden's Attorney General didn't do a damning and refuse
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: to enforce the law to protect those judges. Why because
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: he agreed with the violent protesters and he wanted to
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: intimidate and threaten those judges.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Center Cruz is absolutely right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: The left has gone totally rogue, do not care what
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: the law actually says, and it's now time for the
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Republicans in Congress to rein them in.
