00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.540 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.740 We must start totally winning and winning and winning again.
00:00:10.540 Remember what I used to say?
00:00:12.180 We're going to win so much.
00:00:13.720 We can't stand winning so much.
00:00:16.000 Remember I used to say that, right?
00:00:17.720 I used to say it, and that's what's happening.
00:00:20.720 You're listening to a 47 Morning Update Special Edition with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:26.320 Good Tuesday morning.
00:00:27.380 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:28.260 It's nice to have you on the 47 Morning Update as we have a special show for you this morning
00:00:32.860 celebrating the first 50 days with 50 wins under President Donald Trump's leadership.
00:00:38.500 So many of you that listen to the show want to know the facts about what the president's
00:00:42.100 actually accomplishing.
00:00:43.240 This is one of those special shows that I hope you will share everywhere on social media.
00:00:48.400 Wherever you're listening to this, hit that little forward button, put it on X, put it
00:00:52.260 on Facebook, Instagram, and make sure other people know exactly what the president has
00:00:57.260 done in his first 50 days in office.
00:00:59.980 So with that being said, let's start with the big subject, and that is the border.
00:01:04.540 President Trump secured the border in an unprecedented fashion.
00:01:08.920 We now know that border crossings are now down well over 95% since President Trump took office.
00:01:16.260 We also know that the president signed a very important piece of legislation coming in at
00:01:21.700 number two, signing the Lakin-Riley Act into law, protecting Americans, and making sure that
00:01:28.740 what happened to Lakin-Riley at the hands of an illegal immigrant hopefully will never happen
00:01:33.360 again in the United States of America.
00:01:35.480 Number three on the list, President Trump also is deporting illegal immigrant killers, rapists,
00:01:40.880 and drug dealers in mass, a campaign promise that he said was going to happen, and it actually
00:01:46.820 is.
00:01:47.900 Number four on the list, President Trump is taking on the fentanyl crisis, another promise
00:01:52.840 that he made and something he talked about in that joint session of Congress last week.
00:01:57.400 Number five, President Trump ended the Biden administration's abuse of the illegal immigrant
00:02:02.240 parole scheme, making sure that that loophole was closed instantly.
00:02:07.200 And number six, when it comes to the border, President Trump resumed construction of the
00:02:12.420 border wall, adding now to the more than 400 miles of border wall built during his first
00:02:17.960 term in office.
00:02:19.320 So with that, let's move to the economy and major wins for the president there.
00:02:24.900 President Trump's tariffs come in at number seven.
00:02:27.720 They are leveling the playing field for American workers.
00:02:30.840 Yes, Democrats are attacking the president, saying, well, others are fighting back.
00:02:35.000 But the president has made it very clear.
00:02:37.440 He understands and knows that America has more leverage over China, Canada, and Mexico than
00:02:44.360 they have over us.
00:02:45.900 And that is why he is staying the course to make sure that American workers are put first.
00:02:51.740 Coming in at number eight, President Trump has also secured billions of dollars in new U.S.-based
00:02:57.480 investments from major companies from all over the world, including many Fortune 500 companies
00:03:03.440 in the United States of America.
00:03:05.340 Not only has he secured billions of dollars in investments, but is also going to account for
00:03:11.180 thousands and thousands of high paying jobs for American citizens.
00:03:16.440 And at number nine, President Trump is bringing manufacturing back to America as well, offering
00:03:21.960 major incentives and working deals with companies to bring back manufacturing jobs from everything
00:03:27.180 from pipe fitting all the way to building automobiles back into America with incentives.
00:03:31.880 This will also employ a significant number of American citizens.
00:03:36.240 At number 10, President Trump is also making life more affordable for everyday Americans by
00:03:41.660 making sure that basic goods and services are competitive with other markets.
00:03:46.920 At number 11, President Trump has also ended the war on cryptocurrency, which will also allow
00:03:52.540 for many in America to flourish using cryptocurrency to their advantage with businesses and small businesses.
00:03:58.720 Coming in at number 12, President Trump instructed the Secretary of Treasury to stop production of
00:04:04.520 the penny, which we now have found out actually costs 3.69 cents to make every penny that is only worth
00:04:12.420 one cent.
00:04:13.520 Yes, that is the definition of government abuse, waste and fraud.
00:04:18.100 And that is exactly why the president said no more are we going to pay almost four cents to make something
00:04:23.000 that's only worth one cent.
00:04:24.800 Only a government would be stupid enough to do that.
00:04:27.540 And the president has stopped it.
00:04:28.940 At number 13, President Trump has also suspended the enforcement of invasive, burdensome reporting
00:04:35.520 requirements that have saddled so many small businesses with unnecessary red tape.
00:04:41.460 And also that is costing them time, money, resources, and having to employ usually extra people
00:04:47.420 just to deal with the paperwork.
00:04:49.220 The president said it's time to actually support small businesses so they can be successful instead
00:04:53.820 of failing at record numbers under the Biden administration.
00:04:56.540 So let's move on to President Trump's America First policies.
00:05:01.000 Number 14 on the list of the top 50 accomplishments in the first 50 days, President Trump secured
00:05:06.100 the arrest of an international terrorist.
00:05:08.860 That, yet again, making it clear to terrorists around the world that we're not putting up with
00:05:13.240 you and we're coming after you as well.
00:05:16.100 At number 15, President Trump ended the weaponization of government against its citizens, making it very
00:05:21.860 clear that the bureaucrats in the deep state are not going to use our federal government
00:05:26.320 any longer to attack law-abiding citizens and weaponizing them to get exactly what they
00:05:31.900 want, instead putting the people first.
00:05:34.640 At number 16, President Trump also decided to reverse the lawfare against American citizens,
00:05:40.200 where so many people were afraid that the federal government was going to come after them
00:05:43.600 if they didn't play by the liberal rulemakers who were in charge.
00:05:48.040 At number 17, President Trump designated English as the official language of the United States
00:05:52.900 of America, something that many believe shouldn't be controversial at all, but absolutely has
00:05:57.560 become controversial with the radical left and universities.
00:06:01.160 Number 18, President Trump is ending China's chokehold over the Panama Canal as he seeks its
00:06:07.340 rightful return to U.S. ownership.
00:06:10.500 At number 19, President Trump rolled back the Biden-era push for mandate paper straws.
00:06:16.800 I can't actually believe we're talking about paper straws, but the fact that they had gotten
00:06:20.980 so widespread with mandates of the government, Donald Trump said no more.
00:06:25.140 So let's turn to Doge and exactly what has happened under Elon Musk and Donald Trump's
00:06:29.720 leadership.
00:06:30.500 At number 20, President Trump is ending waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
00:06:35.040 He has made it clear that your tax dollars should not be going to radical or extreme or stupid
00:06:40.300 programs and saying it's time for us to cut massive government spending.
00:06:45.240 At 21, President Trump is also reforming the federal bureaucracy to make sure that it's
00:06:50.880 working for the American people instead of against the American people.
00:06:55.000 At 22, President Trump cut bureaucratic red tape as well to make sure that the government
00:07:00.000 would be more efficient and when there were changes that needed to be made, that they could
00:07:03.900 be made very quickly.
00:07:05.520 At 23, President Trump banned funding for UNRWA, a United Nations agency that employed hundreds
00:07:12.240 of Hamas and jihad operatives that had all been exposed.
00:07:17.380 In fact, the Biden-Harris administration knew it was happening and they still kept sending
00:07:21.840 your tax dollars.
00:07:23.500 At number 24, President Trump restored transparency to government so that you can actually even
00:07:28.620 see where your money is going, whether it be USAID or other government programs, especially
00:07:34.680 when it comes to non-governmental agencies that were funneling money to family and friends
00:07:40.120 of countless government employees and elected officials.
00:07:43.480 Let's now move to diplomacy and military.
00:07:46.100 Coming in at 25, President Trump rescued American citizens held hostage abroad in multiple countries.
00:07:53.000 At 26, President Trump restored maximum pressure on Iran.
00:07:57.100 Instead of sending them billions of dollars in cash was exactly what Joe Biden did.
00:08:01.420 He also has made it clear that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon and that we will work
00:08:05.780 with Israel to make sure that never happens.
00:08:08.560 President Trump is also pursuing world peace as he's made it clear coming in at 27, saying
00:08:13.620 I'm a guy that wants to end wars, not start them.
00:08:16.820 Number 28, President Trump signed an executive order to reinstate with back pay U.S. service
00:08:23.720 members who were discharged under the military's Biden-era COVID vaccine mandates, a major promise
00:08:31.020 that will bring back amazing men and women to our military with back pay.
00:08:36.180 A huge victory for so many that were persecuted when they refused to take the vaccine.
00:08:41.820 At number 29, President Trump brought military recruitment to its highest number in decades,
00:08:47.900 all because he was elected and there were so many men and women that wanted to serve
00:08:52.160 under President Donald Trump, hitting record recruitment numbers.
00:08:56.380 Now, let's move to energy, where we come in at number 30 in the achievement list.
00:09:00.780 President Trump unleashed American energy, saying drill, baby, drill, and making it clear
00:09:05.880 that so many of the areas that Joe Biden said we couldn't explore and he shut down exploration
00:09:11.520 were opened back up.
00:09:13.400 At 31, President Trump ended Biden's liquefied natural gas export ban.
00:09:18.880 That will bring countless jobs back to the marketplace for American citizens.
00:09:23.540 At number 32, President Trump rescinded every one of the Biden administration's job-killing,
00:09:31.240 pro-China, anti-American energy regulations as well.
00:09:35.560 And at number 33, President Trump terminated the Biden-era electric vehicle mandate.
00:09:41.800 For everyone out there that thinks Elon Musk, by the way, is some guy that you shouldn't trust,
00:09:46.600 just know he actually worked with the president to terminate electric vehicle mandates.
00:09:52.300 By the way, the Tesla is, in fact, an electric vehicle.
00:09:55.600 Think about putting Americans first when that's what you do for a living.
00:09:59.080 It's pretty impressive by Elon Musk.
00:10:01.320 Now let's turn to another issue, the issue of women and families.
00:10:05.340 At number 34, President Trump signed an executive order to protect children from chemical and
00:10:10.460 surgical mutilation of children.
00:10:13.300 Coming in at 35, President Trump ended the unfair practice of forcing women to compete against
00:10:18.260 men in sports.
00:10:19.960 And at 36, President Trump made it the official policy of the U.S. government that there are
00:10:25.500 only two sexes.
00:10:27.860 Coming in at 37, President Trump expanded access to in vitro fertilization, known as IVF, and
00:10:34.180 is working with insurance to make sure that more of it is actually covered by insurance instead
00:10:39.780 of being out-of-pocket extreme expenses that unfortunately doesn't allow for many families to walk down the
00:10:45.660 road of IVF.
00:10:46.920 Now let's move to education.
00:10:49.040 Coming in at 38, President Trump ended the indoctrination of American students by getting
00:10:54.320 rid of many of the radical programs that had nothing to do with reading, writing, and arithmetic,
00:10:59.080 including DEI.
00:11:01.440 The president, coming in at 39, also said it's time to reform education and to have real standards
00:11:07.720 and allow for parents to be more involved in their kids' classrooms instead of being referred
00:11:12.600 to his domestic terrorists, which is what the Biden administration did, when parents start
00:11:16.880 showing up at school board meetings.
00:11:18.640 And at number 40, President Trump is ending anti-Semitism as well on college campuses, pulling
00:11:24.700 massive funding that we talked about on yesterday's program from so many universities, including
00:11:30.040 Columbia University that was receiving $400 million from your tax dollars.
00:11:35.640 The question you should be asking yourself is why.
00:11:37.720 And that's exactly the question that the president is asking and stopping much of that funding.
00:11:42.880 Let's now move to law and order.
00:11:44.600 Coming in at 41, President Trump raised standards for law enforcement, making it very clear that
00:11:50.400 we are going to put law enforcement first, but also raising the standards so that we have
00:11:54.840 the best and the brightest in law enforcement.
00:11:56.980 At 42, President Trump is returning law and order to American citizens and cities, even
00:12:02.720 liberal cities, making sure they're applying the federal laws appropriately.
00:12:06.720 And if they're not, he's going to war with those cities to make sure that the citizens are
00:12:11.160 actually going to be safe.
00:12:13.300 At number 43, President Trump cracked down on so-called sanctuary cities as well that protect
00:12:18.740 illegal immigrants and refuse to work with ICE, even going after many of the mayors and
00:12:22.980 elected officials, another campaign promise.
00:12:25.600 Now let's move to state and local issues.
00:12:27.920 Coming in at 44, President Trump reformed the federal disaster response, making sure
00:12:33.140 that there aren't winners or losers picked in this country when there's a natural disaster,
00:12:37.240 depending on where you live and if you are more of a conservative or liberal area.
00:12:42.000 The president says it doesn't matter if you're in L.A. with the wildfires or in Tennessee
00:12:45.560 or North Carolina or South Carolina dealing with a hurricane in Florida.
00:12:49.040 The response from the federal government should always be perfect and give you everything
00:12:54.800 you need.
00:12:55.680 And they should never deny you government aid because you're in a more conservative part
00:13:00.800 of the country.
00:13:01.720 Number 45, the President Trump administration also terminated approval for New York City's
00:13:08.020 burdensome congestion pricing scheme that was going to force citizens to pay even more
00:13:12.980 money to drive to work.
00:13:14.560 He said, that is something I'm not going to allow.
00:13:17.320 And many liberals, even in New York State, said this was a great move.
00:13:21.800 At number 46, President Trump forced Washington, D.C. to clean up homeless encampments as he
00:13:27.960 pursues policies to restore pride in America's capital city.
00:13:31.920 It had gone, well, totally woke and had been filled with countless encampments because of
00:13:37.220 Joe Biden's administration.
00:13:38.860 Number 47, let's move to the issue of wokeness in America and Donald Trump is trying to kill
00:13:44.420 it.
00:13:44.600 President Trump ended diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within all parts of
00:13:50.120 our federal government.
00:13:51.420 And at 48, President Trump brought back hiring based on merit instead of the color of someone's
00:13:57.580 skin or sexual orientation.
00:14:00.540 Now let's move to number 49.
00:14:02.800 It may be one of the most important ones for this country, especially if you were a mother.
00:14:07.440 President Trump established the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which redirects the
00:14:13.980 national focus to promoting health rather than simply managing disease.
00:14:18.840 He also has brought in, as you know, RFK Jr.
00:14:22.040 to make sure that we are actually protecting our kids from basic things like dyes in our food.
00:14:28.380 And finally coming in at number 50, the top 50 things that Donald Trump has done in the
00:14:34.180 first 50 days.
00:14:35.380 It deals with the issue of faith.
00:14:37.260 President Trump established the White House official office of faith to protect Americans'
00:14:44.260 religious liberties.
00:14:45.500 He made it clear he's not just protecting one religion or putting one ahead of another.
00:14:50.940 He is saying it's time that we protect all faiths.
00:14:53.640 And he has an official office in the White House that is doing exactly that.
00:14:57.660 So that is a big list of 50 wins in 50 days for the President of the United States of America.
00:15:04.220 I hope you will take this episode specifically and share it everywhere you can on social media.
