In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Verizon thought of a lot of different ways we could show our appreciation, like rolling out the red carpet, giving you your own personal marching band, or throwing a bumping shindig.

At Verizon, we're doing all that in the form of special military offers. That's why this month only, we're giving military and veteran families a $200 Verizon gift card and a phone on us with a select trade-in and a new line on select unlimited plans. Think of it as our way of flying a squadron of jets overhead while launching fireworks. Now that's what we call a celebration because we're proud to serve you. Visit your local Verizon store to learn more.

What?

Well, those have shown us the way. You have to go line by line, contract by contract. I think a small business probably spends more time going line by line through its budget than Congress does through a $7,000 billion a year budget. You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. Ben Ferguson with you. And we have two major stories for you this morning coming from the Trump administration. First up, in a shocking development, Social Security has now officially removed 12.3 million individuals listed at the age of 100.

120 or more and you will also be shocked by how many illegal immigrants have social security numbers and are receiving benefits from our government as part of the investigation those details in a moment and finally you may not hate the media as much as you should after a study has come out stating just how much negative news there is during the first hundred days

on Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I'll break that down for you as well. Now, before I get to everything the left is saying, I want to take a moment and tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. What we are seeing right now is truly disturbing. Anti-Semitism is actually on

the rise around the world and sadly it's happening right here in America as well. Jewish schools are being targeted, synagogues are threatened, families, Jewish families are living in fear and it's something we hope to never see again in our lifetime. But the reality is this is what is happening now and it's time for us to stand up and not be silent and take a stand to stand with those in Israel, those that are Jewish.

And that's why I want you to get involved with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They are on the front lines providing real help where it's needed the most. They're giving food and shelter to Jewish families under threat. They're building bomb shelters for children in Israel as we speak. And they're helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives.

Don't just respond to crisis. They work every day to prevent it. Now your gift of only $45 will help support life-saving work by providing food, shelter, and so much more. The Bible's clear. It says, I will bless those who bless you. And supporting the IFCJ is a spiritual stand. It's showing up for God's people when it counts. So please get involved. You can call right now, 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ.

or go online to ifcj.org. Every dollar helps help the people in Israel and make a difference. ifcj.org or 888-488-IFCJ. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. One of the big reasons why Donald Trump was elected is he promised you, the American taxpayer, that he was going to make sure that your money was no longer being wasted, your tax dollars.

Well, he's making good on that promise yet again. This time it deals with Social Security and the fact that we've had to remove from the Social Security rolls 12.3 million individuals listed as 120 years old or older. That according to the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE.

Now, the discrepancies in the Social Security figures and the alarming ages of some of the individuals listed have garnered national attention over the last several months. And as a result, in March, Doge began to update the American people on the massive cleanup.

begun by Social Security. In a March 18th update, Doge said Social Security had marked 3.2 million Social Security number holders aged 120 or older as deceased, warning that there was still more work to be done.

Over one month later, on April 24th, Doge provided another update revealing that a stunning 11 million individuals listed as age 120 or more were now being marked as deceased. And the most recent update delivered this week by Doge, they revealed that a total of 12.3 million individuals

listed as 120 years old or older are now officially marked as deceased in the system. Elon Musk brought on stage to talk about this issue Antonio Garcia's and he showed a chart of the new non-

citizen social security numbers that have also been issued. He said it literally blew them away. So it's not just people that are dead or 120 and older, but it's also illegal immigrants as well. Take a listen to what they said. So Antonio, can you tell us what you... Antonio's helping out with the social security. So just trying to...

review Social Security where you may have heard that we found 20 million dead people mocked as alive in the Social Security database. This is so crazy. And then you'll notice there's a strange trend here where how many Social Security numbers were issued

Let me tell you what happened here. We started at the top of the system. You want to talk about a lot of it? We started at the top of the system, mapping the whole system of social security to understand where all the fraud was. And there's a lot of great people there that showed us really a lot of waste. And so that came with a big list of stuff that we're working on. You've heard some of that already. But this is what jumped out at us. When we saw these numbers, we were like, "What is this?"

In 21, you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2.1 million in 24. These are non-citizens that are getting social security numbers. Yeah, this is a mind-blowing chart. Yeah, just, this literally blew us away. Like, we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident. And this isn't political, by the way. My parents are immigrants.

Yeah, this country's been great to us. My brother and sister are all born in Spain. I'm pro-legal immigration. This is not political. This is not political. This is about America and the future of America. And there are a lot of good people in the system that pointed us in this direction. I want to honor them right now. They're working in the government today who took risks to show us these numbers and tell us what's going on. So I want to stop for a minute. I want to honor those people today. Very good people. Very good people.

I have been from DC to social security offices to the border to track this down and very good people have helped us along the way. I want to thank them. Yeah. This number, what this is...

is when you come in the country if you're illegal uh there's a couple ways to come in you come in through a port of entry and you can tell them you're afraid you'll get they'll give you an asylum asylum case you'll get an interview then you get in that's one way to do it another way to do it is to just go to the border literally this happened i talked to border patrol myself elon was there too i went to laredo and i went to bronzeville elon went to eagle pass you walk up to border patrol officer and you tell them you want to come in you

They have a couple of choices. They could charge you with a misdemeanor or felony under 1325, or they can make an administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically. They were told to do that, make an administrative offense under the last administration. And then you walk across the border, they do what's called a...

Release your own recognizance and they give you an NTA notice to appear which to appear at a judge The wait times on judges are like average six years. Look at grok. You'll see it on immigration judges There's only 700 of them. This is 5.5 million people. Okay, so what happens then once you're in the country and you've got asylum do one of these pathways we map the whole thing out and

you can apply for a work document. You file a 765, it's the work form. You get this form called the 766, that's the authorization. And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your social security number. No interview, no ID. - This is worth just reiterating. People sometimes think that under the Biden administration that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn't asleep, they weren't asleep at the switch.

Look, if I hadn't seen this myself, I'm not sure I'd have believed it. I went through it myself and mapped it.

And Ilana's right. This is true. The defaults in the system from Social Security to all of the benefit programs have been set to max inclusion, max pay for these people and minimum collection. That's what's happening. We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid as an example. We've gone through every benefit program we went through. We found

groups from this particular group of people, this 5.5 million people in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why. We're asking ourselves why. And so we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records. And we found people here registered to vote in this population, yes. And who did vote. And we found some by sampling that actually did vote. And we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security Investigation Service. Already. Already. That is already happening.

So let's just be clear what you just heard. You just heard Elon Musk and Antonio show a chart of new non-citizen social security numbers issued. They said it literally blew them away. They went there to find fraud. And what they found was all of this by accident.

The update coincides with other red flags issued by Elon Musk and Doge as well. They made waves in March when he said at least 2.1 million non-citizens are receiving social security numbers in 2024 alone. So not only is that true, they're also on Medicare, Medicaid, and many of them have registered to vote and have actually voted. So yes,

Illegal immigrants are actually voting in this country. And this is exactly why Doge has so much more work to continue to do. Now, story number two. There is a new study that has just come out that makes us realize we might not hate the media as much as we actually should for their bias and lying against Donald Trump and people that are close to him.

We all know how much the media lied about Donald Trump. Russian collusion is a great example. Or how much they protected the Biden crime family by claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't even real. We also know that they used the media countless times to try to impeach Donald Trump, not once, but twice. And to overthrow the will of the people. But what happens when you are an ally of the president and you're standing with him in his second term in office?

Well, now we understand because of the data just how hard it is to stand up for what you believe in. A recent study by the Media Research Center has found that Elon Musk received 96% negative coverage from major U.S. television networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS.

during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term. Now, how extreme is 96% negative coverage? Well, during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term, he only received 92% negative coverage for himself during the same period.

Meaning that the media understands that Donald Trump is evil in their eyes and they'll do whatever they can to take him out. But if you're an ally of the president, they'll come after you even harder. Now, the analysis focused on evening newscasts and highlight the intense scrutiny that Elon must face, particularly in the role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. You know it is Doge.

The study's findings have sparked discussion about media extremist bias and the betrayal of influential figures in the tech industry who stand with Donald Trump. What's even worse is the fact that they do it to destroy his entire livelihood, attacking his companies and anything that he has invested in. Joe Rogan talking about this in his show with Aaron Rodgers.

And here's what they had to say about the shocking details of this report. Recently, it showed that 96% of all the stories that mainstream media prints about Elon are negative. 96%. Meanwhile, the guy saved those f***ers.

people trapped up in space yeah you didn't hear a peep and the city does when there's natural disasters with the starlink oh yeah he's revolutionizing space travel revolutionizing satellite internet capabilities and and the availability all all over the world it's crazy it's really crazy and saving billions of dollars of your tax money from going to fun stupid ass

programs all over the world. It's not just stupid ass programs. Some of it is like, you don't even know where it went. It's corruption, too. He said that some of the money, that there was billions of dollars that was written out with no receipts at all. He said if this was a private company, or excuse me, a public company, they would be delisted and

and all the executives be thrown in prison. But in the government, it's just like standard practice. How come nobody has gone to prison? That's one of my main questions for Trump and the administration. It's a good question. It is a great question. Why aren't people going to jail? And there's a good chance moving forward that may actually happen. As for Elon Musk, he's responded to the new study's results, accusing the legacy media of dishonesty and suggesting that the negative coverage is part of a deliberate campaign against

to undermine him due to his influential status and political leanings. Now, this situation clearly underscores the relationship between the media and the narratives that they want to push on public perception, especially concerning high-profile individuals.

who play a significant role in Donald Trump's administration. One thing is for sure, this study needs to be shared everywhere so that the people understand that when you're watching the nightly news, you're not actually watching the news anymore on ABC, NBC, or CBS. You're watching liberal government-sponsored propaganda.

And it's there to undermine Donald Trump and anyone around him in the administration. Thank you for listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
