00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.
00:00:06.840 Releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world.
00:00:10.160 And that's not going to happen.
00:00:11.600 Well, they'd love to have a criminal, you know, released.
00:00:14.180 I mean, there's a fascination.
00:00:16.220 They would love it.
00:00:17.140 Yeah.
00:00:18.180 These are sick people.
00:00:19.780 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:23.440 Good Tuesday morning.
00:00:24.640 Welcome.
00:00:25.160 It is the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:27.560 And here are the three big stories you need to know about that we're talking about this morning.
00:00:32.300 First up, El Salvador's president came to the Oval Office.
00:00:36.720 And the media tried to turn on Trump and the president of El Salvador.
00:00:41.480 Well, guess what happened?
00:00:42.800 The media got schooled and busted in their lies about a MS-13 gang member that was an El Salvadorian citizen that was deported.
00:00:52.320 You don't want to miss that audio.
00:00:54.200 Up next, President Trump promised he was going to bring great jobs back to America.
00:00:59.800 Well, America is winning as the video is announcing that they're investing $500 billion to build AI chips and supercomputers in Texas with high-paying jobs.
00:01:10.660 And finally, government bureaucrats tried to stop Trump from canceling illegal alien social security benefits.
00:01:18.260 And they got caught red-handed.
00:01:21.080 It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
00:01:24.400 Story number one.
00:01:25.540 It is amazing what Democrats will say and do just to be against Donald Trump and the American people.
00:01:31.960 We had an election, and it was very clear the American people said they wanted a secure border.
00:01:37.000 We had an election, and it was very clear the voters said they wanted to start locking up violent criminals,
00:01:42.380 especially those that are in MS-13 gangs and other gangs from around the world.
00:01:47.860 We also know that the president had a mandate to clean up everything that had been broken by the open border policies of the Biden administration.
00:01:56.600 Well, fast forward just a few months in to his second term in office,
00:02:00.260 and now Democrats are actually in a position I didn't even think they were dumb enough to put themselves in.
00:02:07.480 Yet, here we are.
00:02:08.740 Democrats are now going together, standing and demanding the return of deported MS-13 gang members.
00:02:18.660 One senator in particular is leading the charge, Senator Chris Van Hollen.
00:02:24.480 He's a Democrat from Maryland, and he is now requesting a meeting with El Salvador's president,
00:02:29.900 who was in the Oval Office on Monday, to demand the return of an individual that is known as an MS-13 gang member,
00:02:37.700 who was deported to El Salvador.
00:02:40.500 Now, this is the best audio I've heard in a long time,
00:02:44.620 to explain just how radical the left has become,
00:02:47.620 and also our media as they're trying to spin a story to their advantage,
00:02:53.180 saying that an individual that left America should immediately be returned.
00:02:58.020 Someone who broke into this country, and also someone who is an MS-13 gang member.
00:03:03.200 I want you to listen carefully to Pam Bondi and the president of the United States of America
00:03:08.140 dismantle the media's narrative as the El Salvador president
00:03:12.840 not only refused to return the deported resident,
00:03:16.600 but explained that he was happy to take even more.
00:03:19.880 Return the man who your administration says was mistakenly deported.
00:03:23.500 The man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
00:03:25.540 Well, let me ask, Pam, would you ask to answer that question?
00:03:29.080 Sure, President.
00:03:30.220 First and foremost, he was illegally in our country.
00:03:33.840 He had been illegally in our country.
00:03:36.160 And in 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court,
00:03:42.340 ruled that he was a member of MS-13, and he was illegally in our country.
00:03:47.840 Right now, it was a paperwork, it was additional paperwork that needed to be done.
00:03:53.860 That's up to El Salvador if they want to return him.
00:03:57.560 That's not up to us.
00:03:58.620 The Supreme Court ruled, President, that if, as El Salvador wants to return him,
00:04:03.440 this is international matters, foreign affairs,
00:04:06.340 if they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.
00:04:11.980 So will you return him?
00:04:12.960 And you are doing a great job.
00:04:15.000 Thank you.
00:04:15.320 Can you just also respond to that question?
00:04:19.800 Because, you know, it's asked by CNN, and they always ask it with a slant,
00:04:23.960 because they're totally slanted, because they don't know what's happening.
00:04:26.920 That's why nobody's watching them.
00:04:28.180 But would you answer that question also, please?
00:04:30.560 Yes, gladly.
00:04:31.840 So, as Pam mentioned, there's an illegal alien from El Salvador.
00:04:36.660 So, with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador.
00:04:40.340 So, it's very arrogant, even, for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador
00:04:46.380 how to handle their own citizens as a starting point.
00:04:49.260 As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13,
00:04:52.520 when President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization,
00:04:56.740 that meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law,
00:05:00.220 which I'm sure you know, you're very familiar with the INA,
00:05:01.980 that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States.
00:05:06.780 So, he had a deportation order that was valid,
00:05:10.280 which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in the United States,
00:05:14.580 and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation.
00:05:18.220 This issue was then, by a district court judge, completely inverted,
00:05:24.040 and a district court judge tried to tell the administration
00:05:26.320 that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him back here.
00:05:30.800 That issue was raised to the Supreme Court,
00:05:33.120 and the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful,
00:05:37.120 and its main components were reversed 9-0 unanimously,
00:05:40.900 stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the President could be compelled by anybody
00:05:46.580 to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador,
00:05:50.820 who, again, is a member of MS-13,
00:05:54.040 which, as I'm sure you understand,
00:05:55.660 rapes little girls, murders women, murders children,
00:05:58.900 is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world,
00:06:01.080 and I can promise you, if he was your neighbor, you would move right away.
00:06:03.880 So, you don't plan to ask for any help to get him back?
00:06:05.920 But the Supreme Court is asking to...
00:06:06.520 What was the ruling in the Supreme Court, Steve?
00:06:09.300 Was it 9-0?
00:06:10.480 Yes, it was a 9-0.
00:06:12.480 In our favor.
00:06:13.140 In our favor, against the district court ruling,
00:06:15.240 saying that no district court has the power
00:06:17.540 to compel the foreign policy function of the United States.
00:06:20.560 As Pam said, the ruling solely stated
00:06:23.160 that if this individual at El Salvador's sole discretion
00:06:26.740 was sent back to our country,
00:06:28.820 that we could deport him a second time.
00:06:30.540 No version of this legally ends up with him ever living here
00:06:33.540 because he is a citizen of El Salvador.
00:06:36.420 That is the president of El Salvador.
00:06:38.300 Your questions about it, per the court, can only be directed to him.
00:06:40.860 Can President Bukele weigh in on this?
00:06:45.900 Do you plan to return him?
00:06:46.980 Well, I'm supposed to have suggested
00:06:49.620 that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right?
00:06:52.560 How can I smuggle...
00:06:54.980 How can I return him to the United States?
00:06:56.660 If I smuggle him into the United States,
00:06:58.940 or what do I do?
00:06:59.520 Of course, I'm not going to do it.
00:07:01.240 It's like...
00:07:02.480 I mean, the question is preposterous.
00:07:04.660 How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?
00:07:07.760 I don't have the power to return him to the United States.
00:07:10.560 But you can release him inside of El Salvador.
00:07:12.440 Yeah, but I'm not releasing...
00:07:13.760 I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country.
00:07:16.420 I mean, we just turned the murder capital of the world
00:07:18.240 into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere,
00:07:20.060 and you want us to go back into the...
00:07:21.920 releasing criminals so we can go back
00:07:23.640 to being the murder capital of the world,
00:07:25.220 and that's not going to happen.
00:07:26.760 Well, they'd love to have a criminal, you know, released into...
00:07:29.400 I mean, there's a fascination.
00:07:31.400 They would love it.
00:07:32.320 Yeah.
00:07:33.400 These are sick people.
00:07:35.280 Mark, did you have something to say about that?
00:07:36.780 Yeah, I mean, Steve and I outlined it.
00:07:38.120 I don't understand what the confusion is.
00:07:39.920 This individual is a citizen of El Salvador.
00:07:42.420 He was illegally in the United States
00:07:43.840 and was returned to his country.
00:07:45.500 That's where you deport people,
00:07:46.540 back to their country of origin.
00:07:47.860 Except for Venezuela,
00:07:48.740 that wasn't refusing to take people back
00:07:50.440 or places like that.
00:07:51.460 I can tell you this, Mr. President.
00:07:53.160 No, the foreign policy of the United States
00:07:55.080 is conducted by the President of the United States,
00:07:57.220 not by a court.
00:07:58.100 And no court in the United States
00:07:59.680 has a right to conduct the foreign policy
00:08:01.340 of the United States.
00:08:02.080 It's that simple.
00:08:02.940 This may be one of the best clips
00:08:05.380 I have ever seen come out of the White House.
00:08:08.000 And the beatdown for Caitlin Collins at CNN
00:08:11.040 is truly incredible.
00:08:12.720 So make sure you make a liberal angry.
00:08:15.140 Share this audio wherever you can.
00:08:18.160 Share it on social media.
00:08:19.740 Because this was a glorious takedown
00:08:22.920 with the facts of the biased media
00:08:25.080 and the Democrat machine
00:08:27.020 advocating for bringing a terrorist
00:08:29.400 back into the United States of America.
00:08:32.280 Next, story number two.
00:08:34.060 One of the major promises from Donald Trump
00:08:36.480 was we are going to bring jobs back to America
00:08:39.380 with manufacturing.
00:08:41.300 And we're going to bring back jobs
00:08:42.640 for things that we need
00:08:44.060 that are very important to this country,
00:08:46.120 including on the issue of national security.
00:08:48.560 Well, if you want to know
00:08:49.620 if his tariffs are working
00:08:51.280 and if Americans are starting to win big time,
00:08:54.520 just look at the big headline on NVIDIA.
00:08:57.800 They have announced they're going to invest
00:08:59.840 not $100, not $200, not $300, not $400,
00:09:04.040 but $500 billion to build AI chips
00:09:09.660 and supercomputers in Texas.
00:09:12.940 NVIDIA announcing their plan
00:09:14.840 to build the AI supercomputer in Texas
00:09:16.940 and invest up to that $500 billion
00:09:19.000 in AI production within the United States of America.
00:09:22.440 Ask yourself this question.
00:09:23.980 Why is this happening now?
00:09:25.700 It is 100% because of one thing,
00:09:28.940 because of the tariffs that Donald Trump
00:09:31.460 has been putting on nations overseas
00:09:34.320 that are taking advantage of America.
00:09:36.700 This is also very much about national security.
00:09:39.920 Barron's is now reporting
00:09:41.240 that AI powerhouse NVIDIA
00:09:43.080 has commissioned quickly
00:09:44.920 over a million square feet
00:09:47.440 of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas
00:09:50.240 to build and test its Blackwell chips
00:09:53.300 and AI supercomputers.
00:09:55.380 This marks the first time
00:09:57.220 that NVIDIA will be producing
00:09:58.800 its cutting-edge AI technology
00:10:00.860 entirely within the United States of America.
00:10:04.060 NVIDIA's Blackwell chips
00:10:05.540 have already started production
00:10:06.900 at TSMC's chip plant in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:10:10.460 Meanwhile, the company is constructing
00:10:12.060 supercomputer manufacturing plants
00:10:14.620 in partnership with Foxconn
00:10:16.840 in Houston, Texas, and in Dallas.
00:10:20.520 Mass production at these facilities
00:10:22.300 is expected to ramp up, they say,
00:10:24.300 within the next 12 to 15 months.
00:10:26.860 Now, the manufacturing of NVIDIA's AI chips
00:10:29.480 and supercomputers in America
00:10:31.040 and their AI factories, they say,
00:10:33.160 is projected to generate
00:10:34.340 hundreds of thousands of jobs.
00:10:37.940 Let me say that again.
00:10:39.160 This project, they expect to generate
00:10:41.340 hundreds of thousands of jobs
00:10:44.140 and drive trillions of dollars
00:10:46.280 in economic security in the decades ahead.
00:10:48.900 The NVIDIA founder and CEO
00:10:50.860 stated that, quote,
00:10:51.900 the engines of the world's AI infrastructure
00:10:54.780 are now going to be built
00:10:56.640 in the United States
00:10:57.880 for the first time.
00:10:59.700 Adding,
00:11:00.420 American manufacturing helps us
00:11:02.640 better meet the incredible
00:11:04.360 and growing demand
00:11:05.680 for AI chips and supercomputers,
00:11:08.600 strengthening our supply chain
00:11:10.440 and boosts our resiliency
00:11:12.460 as a company.
00:11:13.400 Now, the AI chip
00:11:14.640 and supercomputer supply chain
00:11:16.280 is highly complex.
00:11:17.960 It requires the most advanced
00:11:19.340 manufacturing, packaging,
00:11:21.700 assembly, and testing technologies.
00:11:25.020 To support this endeavor,
00:11:26.740 NVIDIA is collaborating,
00:11:28.000 they say,
00:11:28.380 with multiple other companies
00:11:30.040 for packaging and testing operations
00:11:32.320 in Arizona,
00:11:33.380 bringing in countless jobs.
00:11:35.280 They say over the next four years,
00:11:37.340 NVIDIA plans to produce
00:11:38.520 up to half a trillion dollars
00:11:40.400 worth of AI infrastructure
00:11:42.560 in the United States
00:11:43.780 through its partnership
00:11:45.060 with multiple companies
00:11:46.480 they are also bringing
00:11:47.700 in to help in America.
00:11:49.860 They say these industry-leading companies
00:11:51.600 are deepening their ties
00:11:53.300 with the most powerful company
00:11:54.800 in the AI space,
00:11:56.860 expanding their global footprint
00:11:58.460 while strengthening supply chain
00:12:00.320 resilience as well.
00:12:02.060 Now, while all of this is happening,
00:12:04.360 China is trying to retaliate
00:12:06.060 wherever they can.
00:12:07.220 And if you think it's just America
00:12:08.920 that China's at a trade war with,
00:12:11.220 you're wrong.
00:12:12.180 Chinese, we're now being told,
00:12:14.620 are going after London.
00:12:17.200 That's right.
00:12:18.160 China is being accused
00:12:19.280 of attempting to sabotage
00:12:21.220 UK's final primary steel mill
00:12:24.340 as London enacts
00:12:25.540 emergency nationalization.
00:12:28.220 Accusations of sabotage
00:12:30.180 have swirled over the fate
00:12:31.600 of Britain's final primary steel plant.
00:12:34.160 Yet Beijing warns London
00:12:35.840 against, quote,
00:12:36.640 turning economic
00:12:37.840 and trade cooperation
00:12:39.420 into political
00:12:40.680 and security issues.
00:12:42.920 Simply put,
00:12:43.940 China is now threatening
00:12:45.120 any other country
00:12:46.320 that doesn't do what they say.
00:12:48.160 And this time,
00:12:48.980 it's Britain they're going after.
00:12:51.020 It's another reminder
00:12:52.080 of why Donald Trump said
00:12:53.540 it's time for us
00:12:54.560 to decouple from China
00:12:56.420 and the power
00:12:57.360 that they're holding over us
00:12:58.760 and other industrialized nations
00:13:00.660 just like the UK.
00:13:02.380 And this is exactly why
00:13:03.660 Donald Trump is leading on the issue.
00:13:05.460 And yes,
00:13:06.400 it is not only about
00:13:07.580 giving Americans great jobs,
00:13:09.380 but also the issue
00:13:10.520 of national security
00:13:11.980 so that we're never
00:13:12.840 in the position
00:13:13.560 that the UK is in right now.
00:13:15.880 And here is story number three.
00:13:17.380 The resistance is very real
00:13:19.820 when it comes to the deep state
00:13:21.260 doing everything they can
00:13:22.540 to stop Donald Trump.
00:13:24.320 We now have a new example
00:13:25.840 that should make
00:13:26.560 every American angry.
00:13:28.820 Government bureaucrats
00:13:30.140 were now being told,
00:13:31.540 tried to stop
00:13:32.480 President Donald Trump's
00:13:33.800 administration
00:13:34.480 from canceling
00:13:36.120 Social Security benefits
00:13:37.660 for illegal aliens,
00:13:40.180 costing you hundreds
00:13:41.200 of billions of dollars,
00:13:43.200 including those
00:13:44.400 who were released
00:13:45.120 into the United States
00:13:46.000 of America
00:13:46.640 by former President Joe Biden.
00:13:49.520 More than a dozen
00:13:50.700 current and former
00:13:52.600 Social Security
00:13:53.540 administration officials
00:13:54.900 leaked various information
00:13:57.180 regarding the issue
00:13:58.400 to the Washington Post,
00:13:59.980 seemingly in an attempt
00:14:01.680 to sow outrage
00:14:03.120 among Americans
00:14:04.080 over Trump's
00:14:05.380 cancellation
00:14:06.300 of Social Security numbers
00:14:08.220 for more than
00:14:09.320 6,300 illegal aliens.
00:14:13.840 Now, while the Trump
00:14:14.740 administration probed
00:14:16.100 how to revoke
00:14:16.720 Social Security benefits
00:14:17.980 for illegal aliens,
00:14:19.640 a number of bureaucrats
00:14:21.180 inside the Social Security
00:14:23.380 administration,
00:14:24.240 they decided to push back
00:14:26.300 on the plan.
00:14:27.660 In other words,
00:14:28.320 acting like they're
00:14:29.600 the President
00:14:30.180 of the United States,
00:14:31.760 including one such
00:14:33.060 technology expert
00:14:34.540 who was removed
00:14:35.700 from his position
00:14:36.740 as a result
00:14:37.980 of his actions.
00:14:39.520 There was a man
00:14:40.220 by the name
00:14:40.740 of Greg Pierre
00:14:41.680 who oversaw a staff
00:14:43.460 of hundreds
00:14:44.380 of technology experts.
00:14:46.600 He had pushed back
00:14:47.620 on the Trump administration's
00:14:49.020 plan to move
00:14:50.020 the migrant names
00:14:51.040 into a Social Security
00:14:52.240 death database,
00:14:54.440 eliminating their ability
00:14:55.740 to legally earn wages
00:14:57.680 and officials hope
00:14:59.560 spurring them
00:15:00.240 to leave the country.
00:15:01.700 In particular,
00:15:02.760 Pierre had clashed
00:15:04.060 with Scott Cutler,
00:15:05.640 the new chief information
00:15:06.900 officer installed
00:15:08.180 by Elon Musk.
00:15:09.660 Pierre told Coulter
00:15:10.600 that the plan
00:15:11.480 was, quote,
00:15:12.180 illegal.
00:15:13.080 It was cruel
00:15:14.140 and risked declaring
00:15:15.540 the wrong people dead.
00:15:17.760 That according to
00:15:18.740 three people
00:15:19.640 familiar with the events.
00:15:21.420 But his objections
00:15:22.360 did not go over well.
00:15:23.900 with Trump's political appointees.
00:15:26.420 And so on Thursday,
00:15:27.840 the security guards
00:15:28.980 at Pierre's office
00:15:30.180 told him
00:15:30.740 it was time
00:15:31.720 to leave.
00:15:33.180 In another case,
00:15:34.320 a Social Security
00:15:35.100 administration official
00:15:36.260 resigned from his position
00:15:37.840 claiming the move
00:15:39.160 to cancel benefits
00:15:40.260 for illegal aliens
00:15:41.600 was, quote,
00:15:42.820 an illegal attempt
00:15:43.860 to repurpose the agency
00:15:45.640 for immigration enforcement.
00:15:48.220 Again,
00:15:48.760 all of this
00:15:49.520 according to the Post.
00:15:51.080 Since Trump's cancellation
00:15:52.680 of Social Security benefits
00:15:54.240 for thousands
00:15:55.280 of illegal aliens
00:15:56.200 announced late last week,
00:15:57.700 the Social Security
00:15:58.780 Administration's office
00:16:00.080 of the General Counsel
00:16:01.280 is working
00:16:02.040 on a report
00:16:03.040 that will,
00:16:03.740 according to
00:16:04.240 the Washington Post,
00:16:05.400 claim the move
00:16:06.740 is a violation
00:16:08.140 of privacy laws.
00:16:10.620 I'll say it again.
00:16:11.820 If you want to know
00:16:12.640 just how entrenched
00:16:14.140 the deep state is
00:16:15.140 with radicals,
00:16:16.160 this is a perfect example.
00:16:17.840 They have infiltrated
00:16:19.080 their way
00:16:19.440 into every aspect
00:16:20.700 of our government,
00:16:21.800 including places
00:16:22.840 that are supposed
00:16:23.500 to be non-political
00:16:24.880 like the Social Security
00:16:27.420 Administration.
00:16:28.600 And most recently,
00:16:29.660 by the way,
00:16:30.520 the Trump Administration
00:16:31.740 ensured a deal
00:16:32.540 between the
00:16:33.220 Internal Revenue Service,
00:16:34.980 you know it as the IRS,
00:16:36.440 and Immigration
00:16:37.600 and Custom Enforcement,
00:16:38.880 known as ICE,
00:16:39.920 that will allow
00:16:40.880 federal agents
00:16:41.900 to more easily locate,
00:16:44.160 detain,
00:16:45.080 and deport illegal aliens
00:16:46.700 by following
00:16:47.840 their financial history
00:16:49.260 in the U.S.
00:16:50.940 Now, the Department
00:16:51.600 of Government Efficiency,
00:16:52.840 known as DOGE,
00:16:53.920 and the officials there
00:16:54.980 recently stated
00:16:56.100 that they found
00:16:57.180 potentially millions
00:16:58.660 of illegal aliens
00:17:00.440 on Social Security.
00:17:02.120 Let me say that again.
00:17:03.360 That they had found
00:17:04.120 potentially millions
00:17:05.460 of illegal aliens
00:17:06.940 on Social Security
00:17:08.040 and Medicaid rolls,
00:17:10.280 and thousands of them
00:17:11.780 on voter rolls,
00:17:13.160 meaning not only
00:17:13.860 could they be
00:17:14.340 canceling out your vote,
00:17:15.900 but also costing you
00:17:17.400 billions and billions
00:17:19.160 of dollars.
00:17:20.340 So this is another example
00:17:21.980 of what Donald Trump
00:17:23.180 is up against.
00:17:24.520 Thank goodness
00:17:25.100 he's not afraid
00:17:26.160 to fire those bureaucrats
00:17:27.980 who tried to stop him
00:17:29.700 from canceling
00:17:30.620 illegal alien
00:17:31.440 Social Security benefits.
00:17:33.340 This is what
00:17:33.880 the American people
00:17:34.840 said they wanted,
00:17:36.060 and unfortunately,
00:17:37.240 there are far too many
00:17:38.380 people in our government
00:17:39.420 now that are doing
00:17:40.600 everything they can
00:17:41.680 to undermine DOGE
00:17:43.060 and the president,
00:17:44.340 but ultimately,
00:17:45.460 the American voters.
