You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

Good Saturday morning to you, Ben Ferguson with you, And these are some of the stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up, attempted murder. Fifteen plus conservatives have been targeted by swatting attacks in a one week period. Also, Donald Trump moves to get rid of well major debt issues in this country with the introduction of golden visas, and he explains exactly how to work. And finally, Donald Trump spent quite a few hours from last week to this week going after terroris all over the Middle East. So what all did he accomplish. We'll explain that as well. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

Story number one.

If there's anything that's become clear in the last two months is that the left has become completely unhinged. Now you can add attempted murder, plus fifteen conservatives have been targeted by swatting attacks in a single week. A series of swatting incidents targeting conservative commentators and journalists have transpired nearly every evening since March the eleventh. This according to the victims, who are sharing video, surveillance footage and photos of the events, sparking questions as to who is engaging in what Representative Andy Ogles described as domestic terrorism and attempted murder. The FBI Director Cashpattel, and the Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Christyinome have also reacted to the wave of dangerous crimes. In terms, swatting refers to an anonymous attacker targeting someone for making a false call to emergency services, using anonymous tools like Google Voice or VPNs to make it appear the call is coming from a certain location and telling authorities a murder or hostage of is transpiring at a particular address. Swatting is designed to prompt swat teams to arrive at the targeted home and descend on the unsuspecting victims, which in the past have led to deadly encounters and murder charges for the offender. At the time of this story breaking, there has been at least fifteen figures already in conservative politics and media that have reported being swatted within the course of the last week. The string of swatting ensigns seemingly began on the evening of March eleven, with info Wars reporter revealing in an early morning ex post that six to eight police officers used a pacism to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house. I was handcuffed in the middle of the street, presumably at gunpoint, though I couldn't tell because the lights being shined in my face. I was in led into the house where my wife was woken up, and we were informed that they received a call from someone pretending to be me threatening to kill my family. Then after that many others receive the exact same treatment. Another reporter was swatted not once, but twice in a single day, and many other journalists are now saying it's very clear they were all targeted in a coordinated attack. The federal government now saying very clearly they are going to hunt down those who are making these calls and putting conservative commentators lives at risk.

Now. Story number two.

One of the core issues the President of the United States of America said he believes is his job now is to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse, and to deal with our out of control federal deficit, which is in the trillions of dollars. Donald Trump is also looking at ways to bring more money into the country and one way he says we can do it is by having a five million dollar payment to our government for a golden visa. He believes that this is a major opportunity for America to pay down our debt. Now. He was talking with Laura Ingram on Fox News Channel about these visas, and this is what he wanted the American people to know.

The Golden visa, which you also you're obviously backing, probably is going to have to go through Congress. We'll see if they actually do that. But five million dollar investment from a foreigner coming into the United States, Why should our citizenship be purchased for any amount of money, especially given the fact that you're America first, Given the types of people who have five million dollars to throw down for a visa or for a permanent residency.

That's why, because I'm America first, Because at five million dollars. You're getting a lot of things, but you're getting five million dollars. Let's say we sell a million of them. That's five trillion dollars. We are now a unbelievably successful country paying down tremendous amounts of debt. It's all going to pay down debt. We're going a very little debt.

Separate.

But if you did think of it, if you did five million dollars. Now, generally people that can pay five million dollars are going to be job producers. Okay, they're going to be successful. They're going to produce jobs. But here's another thing. Apple comes to me. A lot of companies come to me. They say, sir, we just made a deal to hire the number one student at the Wharton School of Finance, or at Harvard Business School or anything else, or MIT or Stanford or anything. But they're going to throw them out of the country the day after graduation. They'll buy these.

Why should any American kid become a company?

And by the way, they're going to call it either the gold card. The problem is is mini gold cards. Well, I will tell you what my people want to call it. It'll drive you crazy, it'll drive the left crazy. They want to call it the Trump card because the Trump card sells much better than the Gold card.

Everybody has a you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and.

Take I'm worried about unsavory which case we're going to given the money back.

And they get out they'll be properly vetted.

Or they're going to be properly vetted. But you know, you're talking about a lot of people. I think it's going to be very successful. If somebody's wrong, we get we actually very nice because it makes it a lot easier legally. We give them that money back and we send them.

Out one thanks for sure. The President United States of America is looking for new ways to bring actual cash into the United States of America from people overseas. In other words, he's looking at them as customers instead of all the money coming from the American taxpayer. As for the program and the fear mongering, many in the media are doing this. They're saying, what if an unsavory person comes in, you just heard the President make it very clear, we'll kick him out. Maybe we'll get him a refund, and we'll move on.

And here is story Number three.

One of Donald Trump's promises from the campaign trail was to go after terrorists all over the world peace through strength, to making sure that we strike first on those they're trying to do harm to Americans, our soldiers, and American interests around the world. Well over the past week, Donald Trump has in intensified his counter terrorism efforts, both domestically and internationally. Here is a quick summary of just some of the things that the present has done. Airstrikes have been ordered. Starting on March fifteenth, President Trump authorized large scale air strikes targeting I ran back Hoothi rebels in Yemen's capital. This action was in response to the Houthis threat to US shipping assets in the Red Sea. The offensive aims to protect American interest and ensure navigational freedom in the region. Donald Trump, putting it this way in his own words on True Social Today, I ordered the United States military to launch decisive and powerful military action against the Houthy terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones. Joe Biden's response was pathetically so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going It has been over a year since a US flag commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the terrorist group over a dozen times funded by Iran. The Houthy thugs have fired missiles at US aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. These relentless assaults have cost the US and the world economy many billions of dollars, while at the same time putting innocent lives at risk. The Hoothy attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off shipping and one of the most important waterways of the world, grinding vast swaths of globe commerce to a halt and attacking the core principle of freedom and navigation upon which international trade and commerce depends. Our brave warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrace basis. They're leaders and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air and naval assets and to restore navigational freedom. No terrorists force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the waterways of the world. To all the houthy terrorists, your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today. If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you've ever seen before. President Trump went on to say to Iran, support for the houthy terrorists must in immediately. Do not threaten the American people, their president, who has received one of the largest mandates in presidential history, or worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, beware because America will hold you fully accountable and we won't be nice about it. That is the President's clear message to the terrorists right now in the Middle East.

Now.

This message comes less than twenty four hours after Trump also announced Friday night that the US forces had killed the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq. The White House even released the footage of the airstrike on social media, making it clear that President Trump will go and terminate any terrorist leader anywhere he has to to keep Americans safe.
