Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We're doing very well against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
- 0:05Speaker 1: We're doing extremely well. They would like to do something,
- 0:08Speaker 1: but I say they're not ready yet. They need more
- 0:11Speaker 1: the same. They're not ready yet. They got some evil intentions.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon if we
- 0:16Speaker 1: did all this that I'm talking about about your data centers,
- 0:20Speaker 1: isn't that important when they start blowing away communities one
- 0:24Speaker 1: by one.
- 0:25Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning nights.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Have you with us on the forty seven Morning Update,
- 0:32Speaker 4: and we've got a very big show for you. There
- 0:34Speaker 4: is a lot of line going on about illegal immigrants
- 0:39Speaker 4: voting in our elections, and now the governor of New
- 0:42Speaker 4: Jersey has had to admit that it actually happened. And
- 0:45Speaker 4: not only did it happen, they helped register illegal immigrants
- 0:49Speaker 4: who actually showed up and voted. So what happens now
- 0:53Speaker 4: we break it all down. It's the forty seven Morning
- 0:56Speaker 4: Update and it starts right now. Story number one US
- 1:00Speaker 4: in jd Vance is now responding to New Jersey Governor
- 1:04Speaker 4: Cheryl's ad mission.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Yes, they admitted it.
- 1:07Speaker 4: The Democrats have admitted it that thousands and thousands and
- 1:12Speaker 4: thousands of non citizens, that means illegal immigrants were registered
- 1:19Speaker 4: to vote in New Jersey. Now they're saying that this
- 1:24Speaker 4: wasn't a result of fraud. They say it was simply
- 1:28Speaker 4: a result of a quote unquote software air. Now the
- 1:34Speaker 4: Vice President is calling on New Jersey's Democratic centers to
- 1:38Speaker 4: vote for the Save America Act, because then things like
- 1:42Speaker 4: this couldn't happen. Now, the governor of New Jersey announced
- 1:47Speaker 4: the disturbing revelation quietly on x Yes, just a little
- 1:51Speaker 4: social media post explaining that a mistake in New Jersey's
- 1:56Speaker 4: motor vehicle system. Of course, it was just a mistake
- 2:00Speaker 4: led to the registration of not one thousand, not two thousand,
- 2:04Speaker 4: not three, four, not five, but over six thousand, six
- 2:08Speaker 4: hundred illegal immigrants who were, as she put it, accidentally
- 2:15Speaker 4: registered to vote between June of twenty twenty three and
- 2:19Speaker 4: June of twenty twenty four. Now, of course, this Democratic
- 2:24Speaker 4: governor is passing the buck to a former Democratic governor,
- 2:27Speaker 4: Phil Murphy, who was in office at the time. Now,
- 2:31Speaker 4: if you want to know how little they really care
- 2:34Speaker 4: about this, here is the actual tweet from the governor.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Quote last week I learned that a serious software now
- 2:42Speaker 4: again they call it a serious software error in New
- 2:46Speaker 4: Jersey's motor vehicle system led to the registration of roughly
- 2:49Speaker 4: six thousand, six hundred people who indicated that they were
- 2:53Speaker 4: not US citizens between June of twenty three and June
- 2:56Speaker 4: of twenty four, almost three years prior to my taking office.
- 3:02Speaker 4: She went on to write this, these individuals answered no
- 3:08Speaker 4: when asked on a keypad whether they were a Ussen
- 3:11Speaker 4: when applying for driver's licenses and identification cards. So, in
- 3:16Speaker 4: other words, hey, we broke in the country, but since
- 3:18Speaker 4: you're going to give us a driver's license, we'll tell
- 3:21Speaker 4: you the truth that we broke in the country because
- 3:23Speaker 4: we know you're a sanctuary state and you're going to
- 3:26Speaker 4: give us the driver's license. And she said then, now
- 3:30Speaker 4: this was through no fault of their own, again, the
- 3:33Speaker 4: illegal immigrant.
- 3:34Speaker 3: The system then registered them anyway.
- 3:37Speaker 4: The Governor went on to say, now this happened under
- 3:40Speaker 4: the previous administration, and upon learning this information, I immediately
- 3:45Speaker 4: ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get
- 3:49Speaker 4: to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the
- 3:52Speaker 4: removal of any residents not from New Jersey, by the way,
- 3:56Speaker 4: not from America, but quote from our voter rolls who
- 4:00Speaker 4: were erroneously added between June of twenty three and June
- 4:03Speaker 4: of twenty four. Now, the new MVC administrator that I
- 4:08Speaker 4: appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible
- 4:12Speaker 4: for administering the system. So again we're going to fire
- 4:17Speaker 4: the company, but we're not going to get rid of
- 4:19Speaker 4: the illegal immigrants. She goes on to say, our preliminary
- 4:23Speaker 4: analysis showed that fewer than four hundred individuals who were
- 4:26Speaker 4: newly registered for the first time because of the error voted.
- 4:31Speaker 4: So now she's admitting, oh, by the way, there was
- 4:34Speaker 4: like four hundred that we know of that actually did
- 4:37Speaker 4: vote who were ineligible to vote, that were allowed to vote,
- 4:40Speaker 4: that were illegal immigrants because we gave them the ability
- 4:43Speaker 4: to vote when we were giving them a driver's license
- 4:46Speaker 4: knowing they were in the country illegally. Now, the Democratic
- 4:51Speaker 4: governor wasn't done with the rhetoric at all. She went
- 4:55Speaker 4: on to say other crazy things, And I'm going to
- 4:57Speaker 4: tell you about that in just a moment. Before I
- 5:00Speaker 4: get to that, though, I want to talk about where
- 5:02Speaker 4: we are as a country. It feels like our country
- 5:05Speaker 4: finally has momentum with our leaders fighting to restore common
- 5:09Speaker 4: sense and America first.
- 5:11Speaker 3: But we've seen this before.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Conservatives get comfortable and the left starts taking background inch
- 5:17Speaker 4: by inch, and we just can't let that happen in
- 5:20Speaker 4: these midterms. Now, America needs every one of us in
- 5:23Speaker 4: the fight, and a big part of that means supporting
- 5:25Speaker 4: companies that actually stand for our values instead of attacking them.
- 5:30Speaker 4: And that's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile gives you premium priority nationwide service on any
- 5:37Speaker 4: of the three major US networks, so you get the
- 5:40Speaker 4: coverage that you need, plus unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots,
- 5:45Speaker 4: international roaming, and a one hundred percent US based customer
- 5:50Speaker 4: support team. Now, switching has never been easier. You can
- 5:54Speaker 4: keep your phone you have right now, you can keep
- 5:56Speaker 4: the number you have, and you can activate in minutes
- 5:59Speaker 4: with someone right here in the US taking your call. Now,
- 6:02Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile is so much more than a great wireless provider,
- 6:06Speaker 4: because what they've done is well truly incredible. They have
- 6:10Speaker 4: built a growing movement of Americans that are defending faith, family,
- 6:14Speaker 4: and freedom and the future of this country. Because at
- 6:18Speaker 4: no extra cost to you, they donate millions of dollars
- 6:22Speaker 4: every year to organizations fighting for our freedoms. Now, I
- 6:26Speaker 4: want you to try Patriot Mobile for a month for free.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriotmobile
- 6:34Speaker 4: dot com slash ferguson, or call them nine to seven
- 6:38Speaker 4: to Patriot. That's nine seven to Patriot, and if you

- 6:43Speaker 4: of service Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven
- 6:48Speaker 4: to two Patriot and make that switch today.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Now I want to get back to the Governor New Jersey.
- 6:53Speaker 4: She went on to write on acts quote, I want
- 6:55Speaker 4: to underscore how seriously I take this matter. As a
- 6:58Speaker 4: military veteran who swore notes to doer Constitution, and as
- 7:02Speaker 4: a former federal prosecutor, I believe the integrity of our
- 7:05Speaker 4: elections is fundamental to our democracy. I am appalled by
- 7:09Speaker 4: the reckless failures that allowed this to happen and the
- 7:11Speaker 4: lack of transparency shown by those in charge at the time.
- 7:15Speaker 4: This failure didn't occur under my watch, but accountability starts now.
- 7:19Speaker 4: I'm taking action to prevent anything like this from occurring
- 7:22Speaker 4: in the future and make sure those responsible are held accountable. Okay,
- 7:27Speaker 4: So here's my question for the governor of New Jersey.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Why is it that you don't use that same exact
- 7:33Speaker 4: logic when it comes to the illegal immigrants that are
- 7:35Speaker 4: in your state who are breaking laws. Right now, you
- 7:39Speaker 4: notice she's holding the company accountable, not the illegal immigrants
- 7:43Speaker 4: who voted in our elections illegally.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Now, the other thing that.
- 7:47Speaker 4: She said is this, she says, as the Trump administration
- 7:50Speaker 4: tries and again this shows you her true colors to
- 7:54Speaker 4: weaponize elections for political gain. I am ensuring we protect
- 7:59Speaker 4: our elections. Let me be clear, Donald Trump has zero
- 8:02Speaker 4: credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than
- 8:05Speaker 4: ten years, he's worked to undermine America's faith in our
- 8:07Speaker 4: elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to
- 8:12Speaker 4: overturn a free and fair election, and encouraging an attack
- 8:15Speaker 4: on our capital when he couldn't accept the will of
- 8:17Speaker 4: the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.
- 8:22Speaker 3: The difference is simple.
- 8:23Speaker 4: The governor New Jersey says, when we find a problem,
- 8:26Speaker 4: we don't hide it, deny it, or invent conspiracies. We
- 8:30Speaker 4: investigate it, we fix it, and we tell the public.
- 8:34Speaker 4: That's what accountability and good governance looks like, and that's
- 8:37Speaker 4: exactly what my administration is doing. Now again, why is
- 8:41Speaker 4: she not using that same logic applying it to the
- 8:44Speaker 4: illegal immigrants that she's protecting and harboring in New Jersey.
- 8:49Speaker 4: She finally concluded by saying this, New jerseyans should have
- 8:53Speaker 4: confidence that every eligible citizen can vote, every lawful vote
- 8:58Speaker 4: will be counted, and every reasonable step will be taken
- 9:01Speaker 4: to protect the integrity of our elections.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Then why are you a sanctuary state? Governor? That's my question.
- 9:06Speaker 4: She also said, that's my responsibility and it's one I
- 9:09Speaker 4: will never stop fighting to uphold. Okay, I go back
- 9:13Speaker 4: to the core of this. She attacks Trump, she attacks
- 9:18Speaker 4: everything that this administration is trying to do to protect
- 9:21Speaker 4: the votes of American citizens, and then protects the illegal
- 9:25Speaker 4: immigrants who are voting that she also says shouldn't be voting.
- 9:30Speaker 4: So here it is liberal logic one oh one on
- 9:33Speaker 4: full display. The good news is, at least when it
- 9:37Speaker 4: comes to this story, is the White House is now
- 9:40Speaker 4: using it, and so is the Vice President to call
- 9:43Speaker 4: out this egregious act. As jd Vance said it this way,
- 9:48Speaker 4: if only there was a way to stop this type
- 9:50Speaker 4: of quote unquote software error that allowed nonsenizens to vote
- 9:55Speaker 4: in our elections. I hope Senator Corey Booker and Senator
- 9:59Speaker 4: Andy Kim will join us in voting to pass a
- 10:02Speaker 4: Save America Act to ensure that only eligible American voters
- 10:07Speaker 4: can actually participate. What a novel idea, by the way,
- 10:11Speaker 4: in our elections across the United States. Yes, the Vice
- 10:16Speaker 4: President and the President reminding Americans right now why the
- 10:20Speaker 4: Save Act is so important, especially ahead of the midterms.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Which brings me to another story.
- 10:26Speaker 4: The software vendor in New Jersey is now disputing the
- 10:30Speaker 4: governor's quote unquote glitch claim that she says the state
- 10:35Speaker 4: approved foreigners on their voter rolls and many of them
- 10:39Speaker 4: actually voted.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Well.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Now the New Jersey government and its vendor are in
- 10:43Speaker 4: a public dispute that was supposed to catch an error
- 10:48Speaker 4: that allowed thousands of nonsenisens to register to vote in
- 10:51Speaker 4: New Jersey. It raised direct questions about the integrity of
- 10:55Speaker 4: the safeguards that voters are told they can trust all
- 10:58Speaker 4: over the country with. Just hours after the New Jersey
- 11:02Speaker 4: governor blamed a software glitz for thousands of non citizens
- 11:06Speaker 4: being registered to vote automatically. The software company that she
- 11:10Speaker 4: threw under the bus has issued a statement disputing that claim.
- 11:15Speaker 4: The software vendor for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
- 11:19Speaker 4: issuing a statement saying it was the responsibility of state government,
- 11:23Speaker 4: which is completely controlled by the Democrats, to verify eligibility
- 11:28Speaker 4: to vote. IDEMA quote worked with a New Jersey Motor
- 11:32Speaker 4: Vehicle Commission and has for more than forty years to
- 11:35Speaker 4: support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their
- 11:41Speaker 4: interest to register to vote when applying for or renewing
- 11:44Speaker 4: a driver's license or a state issued identification card. Ademia's
- 11:48Speaker 4: role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system.
- 11:52Speaker 4: ADEMIA said this in a statement saying, quote, the voter
- 11:56Speaker 4: registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of Date,
- 12:00Speaker 4: then the Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for
- 12:04Speaker 4: verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by ADEMIYEP must still
- 12:10Speaker 4: be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections now.
- 12:15Speaker 4: The governor blamed the software company on Tuesday, saying that
- 12:19Speaker 4: there was a quote computer glitch that allowed six six
- 12:22Speaker 4: hundred and sixty non citizens meaning illegal immigrants.
- 12:26Speaker 3: To register to vote.
- 12:28Speaker 4: She also said that as many as four hundred of
- 12:30Speaker 4: those illegal immigrants had in fact voted in recent elections.
- 12:34Speaker 4: She claimed that those who voted were quote registered as Democrats, Republicans,
- 12:39Speaker 4: and unaffiliated voters, and were scattered across the state. It
- 12:44Speaker 4: is unclear for which candidate the non citizens voted, she
- 12:47Speaker 4: also said. And of course, to cover the story here, right,
- 12:52Speaker 4: they said, Well, the individuals answered no when als on
- 12:55Speaker 4: a keypad whether they were a US citizen when applying
- 12:57Speaker 4: for drivers' licenses and identifcation cards, but through no fault
- 13:02Speaker 4: of their own, the system registered them anyway, the governor continued. Now,
- 13:06Speaker 4: Cheryl also said the error curred under the previous administration,
- 13:10Speaker 4: again throwing her Democratic colleague, Governor Phil Murphy under the
- 13:14Speaker 4: bus as well. So no accountability. Well, now the software
- 13:18Speaker 4: company is saying, yeah, you're a lying. It wasn't a
- 13:22Speaker 4: software glitch at all. This was your fault and this
- 13:26Speaker 4: was your problem. So now you have two different Democrats
- 13:30Speaker 4: in office, yet again lying to the voters apparently about
- 13:33Speaker 4: their big plans, and when they're called out on it,
- 13:36Speaker 4: well we'll see how they respond.
- 13:38Speaker 3: But one thing is for sure.
- 13:39Speaker 4: They may promise you one thing but they clearly are
- 13:42Speaker 4: delivering something very different.
