00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.300 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.740 Never be scared to kill a revolution.
00:00:10.720 Demand that at some point there must be killing,
00:00:14.480 because the killing is part of a revolution.
00:00:17.360 And to kill the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor.
00:00:27.420 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:32.180 Good Thursday morning. Welcome.
00:00:33.600 It is the 47 Morning Update, and we've got three big stories for you
00:00:37.040 that you do not want to miss this morning.
00:00:38.800 First up, it is time to hold the Bidens accountable
00:00:42.220 and find out who was actually running the United States of America,
00:00:45.560 because it sure as hell wasn't Joe Biden.
00:00:47.980 Representative James Comer says everyone they're bringing in for the Biden investigation.
00:00:54.320 I'll have those details for you in just a second.
00:00:56.460 Also, President Donald Trump brought the videos and the pictures to the Oval Office
00:01:02.440 when meeting with the South African president
00:01:04.500 and called them out to their face over the white genocide that's happening.
00:01:09.180 The media, of course, responded by saying Donald Trump's a liar.
00:01:12.320 We have the audio to prove that Donald Trump was telling you the truth.
00:01:18.220 And finally, Jake Tapper's on his book tour,
00:01:21.340 and my oh my is the man changing his story drastically
00:01:24.780 from what he was saying about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and the Biden family
00:01:29.440 from just less than two years ago.
00:01:32.300 We've got the receipts, and we'll play it for you.
00:01:35.340 It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
00:01:38.580 Story number one.
00:01:39.760 Representative James Comer is now focused on investigating Joe Biden
00:01:45.680 and the corruption of the second possible cover-up,
00:01:50.320 this time with the medical issues with cancer.
00:01:54.700 James Comer saying, quote,
00:01:56.200 quote, we're bringing everyone in for the Biden investigations.
00:02:01.200 It's a long-anticipated moment to hold Joe Biden's family
00:02:05.160 and the administration officials accountable for their crimes
00:02:08.600 as finally approaching, is how James Comer explained it
00:02:12.440 on the Alex Marlowe show.
00:02:15.020 Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee,
00:02:17.400 faced significant challenges to investigate when Biden was president,
00:02:21.800 but now that Donald Trump is president and the House appears set to pass
00:02:25.020 President Donald Trump's one big, beautiful budget bill,
00:02:29.360 Comer and his committee are fired up and ready to harvest the fruits
00:02:32.600 of their investigative labor.
00:02:35.140 Prominent names from Hunter Biden to Biden's senior-level advisors
00:02:39.820 will be brought in for either a transcribed interview,
00:02:44.040 if they'll come in voluntarily, or a deposition,
00:02:47.820 is what James Comer has now said.
00:02:49.720 I want you to hear from him in his own words.
00:02:52.520 Take a listen.
00:02:53.680 The next topic du jour, Joe Biden.
00:02:56.420 You're one of the top Biden investigators
00:02:58.240 as the chairman of the House GOP Oversight Committee.
00:03:01.960 I want to get your sense of what's going on in the media
00:03:06.000 and this discussion of a cover-up of Joe Biden's mental decline.
00:03:11.260 It's been sort of surreal for me to watch,
00:03:13.380 having researched Joe Biden extensively
00:03:14.800 and written a best-selling book about Joe Biden, just like you did.
00:03:17.500 And it's been very odd for me to watch because there was no cover-up
00:03:22.200 as far as I could tell.
00:03:23.200 We all knew he was in severe mental decline.
00:03:25.460 We all knew that he had aneurysms.
00:03:26.800 He had massive surgery on those.
00:03:28.440 We all knew that he would confuse his wife and his sister,
00:03:30.600 and he didn't know where his son died.
00:03:32.180 And now, all of a sudden, a CNN anchor says that there was a cover-up,
00:03:36.420 and we're like, oh, yeah, there was a cover-up.
00:03:38.140 I don't understand it, Congressman.
00:03:39.720 Do you?
00:03:40.080 It's just breathtaking to watch because I was attacked so many times
00:03:44.420 by saying Joe Biden was a mental invalid.
00:03:47.340 I was attacked by saying Joe Biden wasn't the one calling the shots.
00:03:50.920 I was attacked when I said Hunter Biden was the de facto chief of staff.
00:03:55.280 That came out today.
00:03:56.340 That's in Jake Tapper's book,
00:03:59.380 that Hunter Biden was essentially the chief of staff.
00:04:02.720 If you go back and Google me and Hunter Biden was chief of staff
00:04:06.280 and all of that, the press that I received from MSNBC
00:04:10.320 and the Washington Post and the New York Times,
00:04:12.700 they blistered me.
00:04:14.200 I mean, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump combined never went through what I went through
00:04:18.500 by telling what we were finding about the Bidens.
00:04:22.580 They were crooks.
00:04:23.740 They were lying about the money they were taking in.
00:04:26.100 They weren't paying any taxes on it.
00:04:28.360 Joe Biden had no idea what was going on.
00:04:31.580 Hunter Biden was actually calling the shot.
00:04:33.780 And when the media would say, why are you picking on Hunter Biden?
00:04:36.760 Hunter Biden doesn't work for the government.
00:04:39.020 He was running the government.
00:04:40.860 Jake Tapper put that in his book we found today.
00:04:43.980 I mean, it's just amazing.
00:04:46.320 And for the media to act like, oh, it's a cover-up.
00:04:48.880 We had no idea.
00:04:49.900 They knew if they didn't know, they needed to resign
00:04:52.620 and go get a job at McDonald's or somewhere
00:04:54.900 because they had failed a journalist.
00:04:56.840 If they didn't know that Joe Biden was a mental invalid
00:04:59.840 and that he wasn't the one calling the shots.
00:05:01.900 So what we're doing now on the Oversight Committee,
00:05:05.180 we requested information from the doctor back when Joe Biden was president
00:05:08.980 and they wouldn't comply with our request.
00:05:11.640 We had questions about the doctor when he said Joe Biden was in perfect health.
00:05:16.820 Now they're saying, well, they never tested his PSA.
00:05:19.100 I'm 52.
00:05:20.860 I've been testing my PSA since I was 30.
00:05:25.140 And, you know, so nothing that they're saying is true.
00:05:28.520 The American people know it.
00:05:29.980 The media has finally just thrown their hands up in the air
00:05:32.920 and, you know, they've turned on the Biden.
00:05:35.280 So I think we're going to get a lot more information.
00:05:38.140 What we want to know on the Oversight Committee
00:05:39.620 is who was operating the auto pen
00:05:42.160 and who was given the authority to sign pardons
00:05:46.860 and executive orders with this auto pen
00:05:48.940 because it was not Joe Biden.
00:05:50.520 So I feel like we're kind of getting Khan
00:05:52.660 to take our eye off the ball a little bit,
00:05:54.320 which is that he was in cognitive decline for a very long time
00:05:57.040 and the media was complicit in the cover-up.
00:05:59.220 It wasn't just some inner circle of like six Biden aides.
00:06:02.200 It's just Ron Klain and Donilon and Joe Biden
00:06:04.900 and it's like Jill, it's like five people.
00:06:07.480 No, it was the whole media allowed,
00:06:09.620 including Jake Tapper, who allowed for this to go on.
00:06:12.980 You know, hypocrisy to no end with the media,
00:06:16.140 but I'm glad the truth's coming out.
00:06:17.740 I always said, and I know you said it in your book,
00:06:20.240 I said about the history will be kind to those of us
00:06:25.260 who were brave enough to point out
00:06:29.280 the criminality of the Biden family
00:06:33.100 as well as the fact that Joe Biden was not calling the shots.
00:06:37.480 He was the one president in our history
00:06:40.260 who truly was a Manchurian president.
00:06:44.000 I mean, he wasn't the one calling the shots.
00:06:45.940 One thing is for sure, James Comer is telling the American people
00:06:49.440 we are going to hold them accountable
00:06:51.220 and find out who was actually running the country
00:06:54.180 because clearly it wasn't President Joe Biden.
00:06:56.960 Next, story number two.
00:06:58.260 There was a moment in the Oval Office
00:07:00.180 where Donald Trump decided,
00:07:02.200 I'm going to call out a world leader
00:07:03.600 for the white genocide that is happening right now
00:07:06.400 in South African against white farmers
00:07:09.440 and white land owners.
00:07:11.800 CNN just called Trump showing
00:07:14.300 the president of South Africa
00:07:15.960 the actual evidence of leaders
00:07:17.900 calling for a white genocide
00:07:19.840 and stealing their land
00:07:22.040 a, quote, ambush
00:07:23.940 of, quote, debunked conspiracy theories.
00:07:28.080 Trump literally brought all the evidence
00:07:30.580 and played it.
00:07:32.160 And what did CNN say?
00:07:33.760 This.
00:07:34.620 Errol Ramaphosa brought his best diplomatic self
00:07:37.160 to this meeting,
00:07:37.760 but nothing could have prepared him
00:07:39.640 for this multimedia ambush
00:07:41.640 that President Trump laid out
00:07:43.660 with video,
00:07:44.780 with printed out news stories.
00:07:47.560 This was a laundry list of debunked conspiracy theories.
00:07:52.940 Some South Africans are telling me
00:07:54.380 this is AfriForum propaganda.
00:07:56.440 AfriForum is a white Afrikaner lobby group
00:07:58.740 that's considered a white nationalist organization
00:08:01.480 by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:08:03.580 Everything, almost everything,
00:08:04.760 everything that President Trump said
00:08:06.320 in the Oval Office is not true,
00:08:08.280 was inaccurate,
00:08:09.380 has been repeatedly debunked.
00:08:11.620 Now, what you just heard there
00:08:13.000 from CNN is a lie.
00:08:14.300 Not because I say so,
00:08:15.500 but because we actually have the evidence
00:08:17.060 to prove it.
00:08:18.140 And the video that was shown
00:08:19.420 in the Oval Office
00:08:20.540 to the man in charge of South Africa
00:08:22.680 and the audio,
00:08:24.680 well, this is what the leaders
00:08:26.140 of his party in his government
00:08:28.080 were saying publicly
00:08:29.360 on video in South Africa.
00:08:31.820 Listen carefully to their words.
00:08:34.760 Never be scared to kill.
00:08:38.780 A revolution demands that
00:08:41.440 at some point there must be killing
00:08:44.000 because the killing is part of a revolutionary act.
00:08:47.720 Shoot to kill your mother.
00:08:52.260 Kill the poor, the farmer.
00:08:55.620 Kill the poor, the farmer.
00:08:58.680 The mayor of D.A. in P.E.
00:09:19.760 is a white man.
00:09:22.620 So these people,
00:09:23.580 when you want to hit them hard,
00:09:25.960 go after a white man.
00:09:28.100 They feel a terrible pain
00:09:30.420 because you have touched a white man.
00:09:34.920 Not because Mashaba and Suli
00:09:37.180 will not be touched.
00:09:38.840 They will be touched.
00:09:39.940 Don't worry.
00:09:40.340 But we are starting with this whiteness.
00:09:44.760 We are cutting the throat of whiteness.
00:09:47.300 Shoot to kill
00:09:49.140 Yamaha.
00:09:51.420 Kill the poor,
00:09:53.000 the farmer.
00:09:55.140 Kill the poor,
00:09:56.720 the farmer.
00:10:04.360 Shoot to kill
00:10:06.500 Yamaha.
00:10:07.680 Kill the poor,
00:10:10.860 the farmer.
00:10:12.740 Kill the poor,
00:10:14.380 the farmer.
00:10:16.600 Brr,
00:10:17.280 pa.
00:10:18.740 Pa.
00:10:20.400 Brr,
00:10:21.180 pa.
00:10:22.580 Pa.
00:10:23.980 I don't know what's going to happen in the future.
00:10:26.860 I'm saying to you,
00:10:27.940 we have not called
00:10:28.800 for the killing of white people,
00:10:31.000 at least for now.
00:10:32.280 I can't guarantee the future.
00:10:33.560 Yeah, but, I mean,
00:10:34.200 you'd understand somebody watching that,
00:10:36.800 especially as it gets shared on Twitter,
00:10:38.420 they freak out.
00:10:39.460 It sounds like a genocidal thing.
00:10:41.260 Ah, crybabies.
00:10:42.740 Crybabies.
00:10:43.500 This is exactly
00:10:44.680 what they were referring to
00:10:46.840 in the Oval Office
00:10:48.320 as the president was calling out
00:10:49.680 the leader of South Africa.
00:10:50.980 You may wonder,
00:10:51.780 what is a boor?
00:10:52.900 It is a white man.
00:10:54.640 So when they say,
00:10:55.520 shoot the boor,
00:10:56.500 they're saying,
00:10:57.280 shoot the white man.
00:10:58.900 And then they're saying,
00:10:59.940 shoot the farmer.
00:11:01.420 This is exactly
00:11:02.140 what is happening
00:11:03.040 in South Africa right now.
00:11:05.060 No matter what CNN says,
00:11:07.320 as they come out saying,
00:11:08.440 there's no evidence
00:11:09.460 of a white genocide
00:11:10.400 or the stealing of the land.
00:11:12.220 In fact,
00:11:12.920 they say that Donald Trump
00:11:14.280 went after the South African president
00:11:16.060 in what they described
00:11:17.520 as an ambush.
00:11:18.860 It was,
00:11:19.740 of the facts.
00:11:20.960 And the president
00:11:21.360 of the United States of America,
00:11:22.560 yet again,
00:11:23.220 calling out another world leader
00:11:24.660 to his face
00:11:26.080 and bringing the receipts
00:11:27.660 to the Oval Office
00:11:29.000 to prove his point.
00:11:30.320 I hope all of you
00:11:31.720 will take the audio
00:11:32.540 that you just heard
00:11:33.520 and share it on social media
00:11:35.480 wherever you can
00:11:36.840 to yet again,
00:11:38.020 call out the liberal media
00:11:39.200 for their lies
00:11:40.200 as there is a genocide
00:11:41.420 happening in South Africa.
00:11:43.400 And here is story number three.
00:11:44.860 The media tour continues
00:11:46.480 for Jake Tapper
00:11:47.880 and his big book.
00:11:49.920 It's going to be a bestseller
00:11:51.260 where he tries to act
00:11:52.880 like a journalist
00:11:53.620 and implies
00:11:54.580 that he's coming clean
00:11:55.800 about the big lie
00:11:57.140 with Joe Biden.
00:11:58.760 Well, it's amazing
00:11:59.880 how easy it is
00:12:00.900 to be honest
00:12:01.680 when you're trying
00:12:02.280 to sell a book
00:12:03.220 instead of trying
00:12:03.920 to get your preferred
00:12:04.940 candidate elected.
00:12:06.940 And I want to remind you
00:12:08.240 of what Jake Tapper
00:12:09.560 had to say
00:12:10.040 on his own show
00:12:11.060 back in 2023.
00:12:13.280 There's no evidence
00:12:14.040 to support the allegation
00:12:14.980 my father was financially
00:12:15.840 involved in my business
00:12:16.560 because it did not happen.
00:12:17.780 There's no fairness
00:12:18.420 or decency
00:12:19.020 in what these Republicans
00:12:19.840 are doing.
00:12:20.840 And I do have to say,
00:12:22.000 whatever you think
00:12:23.120 of Hunter Biden,
00:12:24.160 and there's certainly
00:12:24.600 a lot of people
00:12:25.100 in this town,
00:12:25.540 Democrats and Republicans,
00:12:26.340 that do not think
00:12:27.120 a lot of him,
00:12:28.340 there is a certain
00:12:29.800 kind of like cruelty
00:12:31.200 to the campaign
00:12:32.060 against him.
00:12:32.880 Where is Hunter?
00:12:33.580 Where is Hunter?
00:12:34.220 Where is Hunter?
00:12:35.020 That was in 2023.
00:12:38.440 You're supposed to feel
00:12:39.720 bad for Hunter Biden
00:12:41.320 because he went
00:12:42.520 into hiding.
00:12:43.320 You're supposed to feel
00:12:44.080 bad for the Biden
00:12:45.160 crime family
00:12:46.060 because Joe Biden
00:12:47.080 is just an older guy
00:12:48.240 that deserves
00:12:49.280 one more chance.
00:12:50.480 So what is Jake Tapper
00:12:52.320 now saying in 2025
00:12:53.940 as he's on his book tour
00:12:55.740 trying to sell books?
00:12:57.540 Listen carefully
00:12:58.420 to how fast
00:12:59.220 his story is changing.
00:13:01.280 Hunter was driving
00:13:02.640 the decision making
00:13:03.600 for the family
00:13:04.260 in a way that people,
00:13:05.980 he was almost like
00:13:06.900 a chief of staff
00:13:07.720 of the family.
00:13:08.500 Does that strike you
00:13:09.280 as pretty bizarre?
00:13:10.560 It's bizarre
00:13:11.100 because I think
00:13:12.100 he is provably,
00:13:13.680 demonstrably unethical,
00:13:16.220 sleazy,
00:13:16.920 and prone
00:13:17.500 to horrible decisions.
00:13:19.120 Tell me how
00:13:19.540 you really feel.
00:13:21.060 Well, I mean,
00:13:21.600 I just look at the record.
00:13:24.140 I mean,
00:13:24.600 after his brother died,
00:13:25.980 he cheated on his wife
00:13:27.000 with his brother's widow
00:13:27.880 and then got her
00:13:28.620 addicted to crack.
00:13:29.720 That's just one thing
00:13:30.760 I could say.
00:13:31.540 I mean,
00:13:32.160 I don't have a lot
00:13:34.120 of personal regard
00:13:35.680 for him.
00:13:36.560 Isn't it amazing
00:13:37.720 how easy it is
00:13:38.920 for Jake Tapper
00:13:39.900 to all of a sudden
00:13:40.760 be honest with you
00:13:42.020 and tell you exactly
00:13:43.520 what he thinks
00:13:44.100 of Hunter Biden
00:13:44.720 now that they're not
00:13:45.700 a threat to his
00:13:46.920 access to the White House?
00:13:49.020 Jake Tapper
00:13:49.560 would never be
00:13:50.260 man enough
00:13:50.660 to tell you this
00:13:51.260 before 2025
00:13:52.440 because he didn't
00:13:53.780 want to lose access
00:13:54.640 to the Democratic Party.
00:13:56.240 He didn't want to lose
00:13:56.800 access to Joe Biden
00:13:58.000 and he didn't want
00:13:59.060 to make his viewers
00:14:00.040 angry that he might
00:14:01.040 tell them some
00:14:01.800 journalistic truth.
00:14:03.820 2023 compared
00:14:05.020 to 2025
00:14:05.920 isn't that long ago.
00:14:07.860 But Jake Tapper
00:14:08.800 sure as hell
00:14:09.580 is a very different man
00:14:11.100 when the Democrats
00:14:12.020 are in power
00:14:12.940 and he's willing
00:14:13.820 to protect them
00:14:14.620 and sell out
00:14:15.400 at all costs.
