1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: What is your message to people who made encounters on

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: this pains there?

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: How do you get them well? Up till now that

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: hasn't been a great deal of pain. There could be

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: a great deal of pain, but up till now that

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been.

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: I will say this, just hang in there, because I

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: think a lot of good things are going to happen,

9
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: so total they can say it.

10
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of good things could happen,

11
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: and that could also pretend to help you.

12
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

13
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 5: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 5: the forty seven Morning Update. And this is one of

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 5: those shows that's very important and I hope you will

16
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 5: share it everywhere you can with family and friends and

17
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 5: on social media. This story is one the media is

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 5: not covering. Instead, they're going to talk about the government

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 5: shut down. But this story should scare everyone to their core.

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 5: And this is the story Jack Smith and the Biden

21
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 5: Department of Justice. We're tracking the phone calls of their

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 5: political enemies, specifically eight GOP sentners and a Republican congressman. Yes,

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 5: they were literally spying on our men and women that

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 5: are in Washington who've been elected by you and I

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 5: And the one thing and the only thing they had

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 5: in common was that they were all Republicans.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: But first I got to ask you a question.

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: Are you one of those that's just so tired of

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 5: giving your money to radical left woke companies that actually

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 5: are fighting against your values every day? Well, there are

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: certain bills that you pay every month that if you

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 5: can go with a conservative company, why not do it?

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 5: In fact, why not go with a conservative company actually

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 5: takes part of your bill every month that you're going

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 5: to pay to somebody, and they give it back to

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: organizations that support your First and your Second Amendment rights,

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 5: that support the rights of unborn children, that stand with

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: our military, our first responders, and so many wounded war

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm talking about

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: is your cell phone bill. And I've been telling you

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 5: for a long time about Patriot Mobile. But there's no

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 5: better time to switch than right now. Not only does

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: Patriot Mobile operate on all three major networks in this country, yeah,

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: all three. That means you get the same great coverage

45
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 5: you're used to right now, but you also make a

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 5: difference with every call you make and every text you make,

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 5: and why would you want to give your money a

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: big mobile. Big Mobile has been giving big donations to

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: democratic causes, democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 5: about organizations that actually support abortion. That is why I

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: want you to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 5: ahead and make the switch, and it's so easy. All

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 5: you have to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles one

54

Speaker 5: home or your office and they'll have you activated in minutes.

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: And if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up to five hundred

Speaker 5: what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and

Speaker 2: To two Patriot.

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now.

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Story number one.

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: This is a story that I'm about to tell you

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 5: that it's an incredibly important one. It is a fact

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 5: now that the FBI literally spot on not one, not two,

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 5: not three, four, five, six, seven, but eight GOP senators.

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: It was called a total analysis. That is the terminology

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: that's used by FBI investigators to analyze cellular call data

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: for federal probes. Think of it as link analysis that

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: shows patterns of communication location data as well as potential

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 5: targets network of associates. This should shock every single one

80
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 5: of you to a core. And these declassified records, as

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: the FBI Director Cash Bettel is now exposing code name

82
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: Arctic Frost was brought because of a whistle blower disclosures

83
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 5: to Senator Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson that showed nearly

84
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: one hundred conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, were part

85
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: of the probe. Now you have something that's even more shocked,

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: and that is not only was the FBI going after

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: conservative groups, but the FBI was spying on senators, and

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 5: some of those senators are now fighting back. Senator Ron

89
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: Johnson saying it this way in a statement earlier, I

90
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: was just briefed by the FBI's Dan Bongino that the

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 5: FBI and the Justice Department obtained call logs from eight

92
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 5: US Senators, including myself. We were surveilled simply for being Republicans.

93
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: This does not surprise me, but it should shock every American.

94
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 5: Senator Johnson continued. What the Biden administration has done is

95
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 5: an outrageous abuse of power. It is blatant political persecution.

96
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: Those responsible must be held fully accountable. Now you may

97
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: ask yourself what is in this actual document? The Federal

98
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: Bureau of Investigation, on a classified document dated nine to

99
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 5: twenty seven of twenty twenty three, puts it in a

100
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 5: simple manner. The FBI special agent with the name redacted

101
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 5: conducted preliminary toll analysis on limited tolls records associated with

102
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: the following US Senators Mike Kelly, Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty,

103
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 5: Josh Holly, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Loomis,

104
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: and Senator Marsha Blackburn. You look at what I just

105
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 5: explained to you. And this is the weaponization literally of

106
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 5: our federal government right before our eyes. The other question

107
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: is this, who were the FBI's supervisory special agents and

108
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: why are their names redacted? Who approved the report and

109
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: the surveillance of the US senators is another question that

110
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: should be asked. Markings indicate that the FBI I Washington

111
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 5: Field Office was doing this during the Biden administration. This

112
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 5: also means that there was a team involved as well.

113
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: An FBISSA manages investigative teams and approves the reports that

114
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: we now are seeing. Toll analysis, as I mentioned, is

115
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: used to analyze cellular data and the call details for

116
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: federal probes. This is a highly revealing investigative tool. It

117
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: exploits all the patterns of the targets or the people

118
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: involved in the communication investigation, and it also is incredibly

119
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: invasive because it would look at the location data of

120
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: those senators that were being spied on. Now, several of

121
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: these senators decided to have a press conference that were

122
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: the targets that were spied on. Senator Grassley was the

123
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: first to speak, and I want to play it for you.

124
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: Listen to what they had to say that we can

125
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 5: find for.

126
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 6: The solicitation of these telephone records, which I think emphasizes

127
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 6: the political weaponization that was behind all this effort.

128
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 7: And we were still getting more information. But we've released

129
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 7: some records today and I'll let Senator Johnson take over

130
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 7: from here, and then each one of you colleagues can

131
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 7: join in when you want to whatever you want to say.

132
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: First of all, I want to thank Sander Grassley.

133
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: It is because of his relentless advocacy for whistleblowers that

134
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: a lot of this information is servicing right now. We

135
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't know about the list of one hundred Republican entities

136
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: that were targeted by Jack Smith Arctic Frost's investigation.

137
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't think we know about this as well, So

138
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: we need whistleblowers.

139
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: I think Dan Bongino and folks of the FBI they

140
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: don't know where all the records are hidden. They still don't.

141
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: They're not necessarily get hunsent cooperation. But this is outrageous

142
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: what has happened. I just want to give you a

143
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: timeline this. I think you've already got the the FBI

144
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: sheet that shows the number of members of Congress that

145
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: were targeted. Representative Kelly Sanader's Graham, Haggerty, Holly Sullivan, Tubberville, myself,

146
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: Santa Lummis, and Blackburn.

147
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: This memo was dated September of twenty twenty three.

148
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: To put it all into context, the mar Lago raid

149
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: occurred in August of twenty twenty two. Jack Smith announced

150
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: the indictments against President Trump in August of twenty twenty three,

151
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: so this is almost two months later. They're casting this net,

152
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: this fishing accident expedition against members of the Senate. In

153
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: the House, I've been investigating this with Santa Grassley. This

154
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me, but it should shock every American of

155
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: what the Biden administration has done. And by the way,

156
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: this is the first time I was targeted by the

157
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: FBI under the Obama administration. The same thing happened to

158
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: both Sender Grassley and I as part of the Foreign

159
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: Foreign Influenced Task Force. We were giving a com A

160
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: briefing to try and convince us that the Hunter Biden

161
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: laptop was no big deal, basically trying to throw us

162
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: off the track. So this is major corruption just being

163
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: revealed inside the Obama and Biden department. Justine the FBI

164
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: and I'll turn it over to guest Senator Haggerty, who's

165
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: one of the individuals. Again, none of us were subject

166
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: to targets this investigation. There's no predicate, there's no reason

167
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,479
Speaker 3: for this other than efficient expedition, which again should outrage

168
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: and shock every American center.

169
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 8: Hagarty, thank you, Senator Johnson and Chairman Grassley, thank you

170
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 8: for your leadership in making this happen. This is an

171
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 8: extraordinary revelation that just took place this afternoon. My colleagues

172
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 8: and I found out all of US Republicans by the

173
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 8: way that we replaced under investigation by this FBI, under

174
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 8: the Joe Biden FBI that was led I presume by

175
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 8: Jack Smith and his predecessors. This isn't the first time

176
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 8: that it's happened, though Senator Johnson just mentioned this. I

177
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 8: served on the Trump transition team in Trump Tower in

178
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. Senator Blackburn was vice chair of the transition

179
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 8: committee then. As we're probably a dozen or more members

180
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 8: of Congress to think that we were all surveilled back

181
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 8: then by the Obama FBI. This corruption run deep, runs deep,

182
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 8: and it's gone on for far too long. And the

183
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 8: fact that it's happened here again, the fact that they

184
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 8: are looking at our records in twenty twenty three sitting

185
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 8: members of the United States Senate. Again, the only thing

186
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 8: that we have in common, the only thing that common

187
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 8: in this entire list, is that we're all Republicans. They've

188
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 8: decided to come after us. This is as partisan as

189
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 8: it gets. The FBI and the corruption's running there has

190
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 8: to be cleared out. Thank god, we have Cash Betel

191
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 8: and Dan Bongino there. This has to be addressed, it

192
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 8: has to be resolved, It needs to happen today.

193
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: What we know is this that the FBI under Joe

194
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: Biden and under Barack Obama, that they exercised activity that

195
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: they had no authority to exercise. And as Senator Haggardy mentioned,

196
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: we know what they did in twenty sixteen to the

197
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Trump transition team. And now we find out that after

198
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: the mar A Lago raid, after the indictment of President Trump,

199
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: they surveil US people who support President Trump, members who

200
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: are all Republicans. But it shows you how out of

201
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: control and rotten to the core and politicized the FBI

202
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: had become, and how they had absolutely no problem at

203
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: all whatsoever with political weaponization. We appreciate the information we've

204
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: gotten today. We look forward word to further investigation on this.

205
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 5: You just heard from many of those that were targeted

206
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 5: by the FBI, as you heard Bill Haggerty say, we

207
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 5: are sitting members of Congress, and by the way, we

208
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: now have learned it's not just senators. There was also

209
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 5: a representative that had their private communications tracked by the

210
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 5: former Special Council Jack Smith under the Biden administration. The

211
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: FBI director Cash Bettel, also revealing files obtained by Fox

212
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: News show that Smith, in his official capacity at the

213
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 5: Department of Justice, as he investigated Donald Trump and the

214
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: events of January sixth, twenty twenty one, decided to not

215
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: only track the phone calls of Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn,

216
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 5: Ron Johnson, Josh Holly, Cynthia Loomis, Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan,

217
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: Tommy Turverville, but also we now have learned Republican Representative

218
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. The alarming document revealed that Smith

219
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: and his Arctic Frost team had subpoena telephone providers for

220
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 5: the lawmakers records in twenty twenty three, was recently discovered

221
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: by Patel. Patel confirmed the legitimacy of the findings. In

222
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 5: an ex post, writing, we recently uncovered proof that phone

223
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: records of US lawmakers were seized for political purposes. That

224
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: abuse of power ends now. Under my leadership, the FBI

225
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 5: will deliver truth and accountability and never again be weaponized

226
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: against the American people. That abuse of power ends now.

227
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: It seems to be the mantra, unfortunately, that is needed

228
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: by this administration to make sure that these bad actors

229
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: are exposed and rooted out. Finally, you also heard one

230
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 5: other thing that was really important that was mentioned there.

231
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: We need listle blowers. You heard that from Senator Johnson.

232
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: He is asking for others to come forward that may

233
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: know about abusive power that was happening in the deep

234
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 5: State and letting them know there's a safe place to

235
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: bring it. Bongino, we also know brief the impact of

236
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 5: the lawmakers on Monday afternoon, and said that it is

237
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: a disgrace that he's having to sit there and show

238
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: what he has found. It is a disgrace that I

239
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 5: have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this that

240
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 5: the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications

241
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: of US lawmakers for political purposes, that era is over.

242
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: Several of the Senators who have allegedly been spot On

243
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: not only spoke at the press conference which you just heard,

244
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: but said that they are also going to be looking

245
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 5: into this from a congressional standpoint. And to put it

246
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: just an overall perspective for you, Senator Holly called Smith's

247
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: actions not only an abuse of power, beyond Watergate, beyond

248
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: ja Eggar Hoover, one that directly strikes he said, at

249
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 5: the Constitution, the separation of powers and the First Amendment.

250
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: And thank goodness that President Donald Trump has put great

251
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: men in charge of the FBI to root out this

252
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 5: pure evil that is inside of it.
