Speaker 1: Jeff Schuber proclaimed this morning that every day gets better
Speaker 1: for them. No Evan is it's actually getting worse for
Speaker 1: them and having a rebellion in the Democrat Party because
Speaker 1: they want to stop. So this is a confession that
Speaker 1: he's acting not to serve the people, but to serve
Speaker 1: the partisan interests of this party.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
Speaker 4: stories that you may have missed that we talked about
Speaker 4: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
Speaker 4: this story is one the media is not covering. Instead
Speaker 4: they're going to talk about the government shut down. Jack
Speaker 4: Smith and the Biden Department of Justice. We're tracking the
Speaker 4: phone calls of their political enemies, specifically eight GOP sinners
Speaker 4: and a Republican congressman. Yes, they were literally spying on
Speaker 4: our men and women that are in Washington who've been
Speaker 4: elected by you and I and the one thing and
Speaker 4: the only thing they had in common was that they
Speaker 4: were all Republicans. Also, the FBI director Caspittel has fired
Speaker 4: the FBI agents involved in tracking GOP senator phone calls.
Speaker 4: But first, did you see that gold just hit an
Speaker 4: all time new high of over four thousand dollars an ounce?
Speaker 4: And if you hear that, you're like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity. Well, I
Speaker 4: don't know if you missed your opportunity. But my friends
Speaker 4: at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals they can answer that question
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 3: You also may not.
Speaker 4: Be paying attention to the incredible gains with silver that
Speaker 4: are happening right now as well. And that's why I
Speaker 4: trust the guidance of the team at kirk Elliott. In fact,
Speaker 4: I literally just got a hundred ounce bar of silver
Speaker 4: the other day. And the reason why is because after
Speaker 4: I talked to the team at kirk Elliot Press Medals,
Speaker 4: they let me understand exactly where I can have a.
Speaker 3: Big upside in investing in silver. Now.
Speaker 4: The other part that I love about them is this
Speaker 4: they have transparent pricing. There are a lot of gold
Speaker 4: companies that you'll hear about if you listen to talk
Speaker 4: radio or podcasts or watch TV, but do they tell
Speaker 4: you how the pricing actually works well. At kirk Elliott,
Speaker 4: they're real simple, just eight percent when you buy, and
Speaker 4: zero commissions when you sell, with no hidden fees. Ever,
Speaker 4: that is the other reason why I recommend them to
Speaker 4: all of you. They also don't sell you quote rare
Speaker 4: coins or precious coins that you pay insane markups on
Speaker 4: and then when you go to sell them you find
Speaker 4: out they're really not worth that much.
Speaker 3: They are a bullyon only approach.
Speaker 4: They focus on investment grade medals, no overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks.
Speaker 4: That means you get more gold or silver for your
Speaker 4: money at fair value when it's time for you to sell.
Speaker 4: So if you're ready to find out if gold and
Speaker 4: silver is right for you and your portfolio, then call
Speaker 4: them and get a plan. You can visit them at
Speaker 4: k e PM dot com, slash ben that's k e
Speaker 4: PM dot com slash ben or seven two zero six
Speaker 4: oh five thirty nine hundred at seven two zero six
Speaker 4: oh five thirty nine hundred Kirk Elliott Precious Metals online
Speaker 4: at k e PM dot com. It's the forty seven
Speaker 4: Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: Story number one.
Speaker 4: This is a story that I'm about to tell you
Speaker 4: that it's an incredibly important one. It is a fact
Speaker 4: now that the FBI literally spied on not one, not two,
Speaker 4: not three, four, five, six, seven, but eight GOP senators.
Speaker 4: It was called a total analysis. That is the terminology
Speaker 4: that's used by FBI investigators to analyze cellular call data
Speaker 4: for federal probes. Think of it as link analysis that
Speaker 4: shows patterns of communication location data as well as potential
Speaker 4: targets network of associates. This should shock every single one
Speaker 4: of you to a core. And these declassified records, as
Speaker 4: the FBI Director Cash Betel is now exposing code name
Speaker 4: Arctic Frost was brought because of a whistle blower disclosures
Speaker 4: to Senator Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson that showed nearly
Speaker 4: one hundred conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, were part
Speaker 4: of the probe. Now you have something that's even more shocking,
Speaker 4: and that is not only was the FBI going after
Speaker 4: conservative groups, but the FBI was spying on senators and
Speaker 4: some of those senators are now fighting back. Senator Ron
Speaker 4: Johnson saying it this way in a statement earlier, I
Speaker 4: was just briefed by the FBI's Dan Bongino that the
Speaker 4: FBI and the Justice Department obtained call logs from eight
Speaker 4: US senators, including myself. We were surveilled simply for being Republicans.
Speaker 4: This does not surprise me, but it should shock every American.
Speaker 4: Senator Johnson continued, What the Biden administration has done is
Speaker 4: an outrageous abuse of power. It is blatant political persecution.
Speaker 4: Those responsible must be held fully accountable. Now you may
Speaker 4: ask yourself what is in this actual document. The Federal
Speaker 4: Bureau of Investigation unclassified document dated nine to twenty seven
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty three puts it in a simple manner.
Speaker 4: The FBI special agent with the name redacted, conducted preliminary
Speaker 4: toll analysis on limited tolls records associated with the following
Speaker 4: US Senators Mike Kelly, Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty, Josh Holly,
Speaker 4: Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Loomis, and Senator
Speaker 4: Marsha Blackburn. You look at what I just explained to you,
Speaker 4: and this is the weaponization literally of our federal government
Speaker 4: right before our eyes. The other question is this, who
Speaker 4: are the FBI's supervisory special agents and why are their
Speaker 4: names redacted? Who approved the report and the surveillance of
Speaker 4: the US senators is another question that should be asked.
Speaker 4: Markings indicate that the FBI Washington Field Off. This was
Speaker 4: doing this during the Biden administration. This also means that
Speaker 4: there was a team involved as well. An FBISSA manages
Speaker 4: investigative teams and approves the reports that we now are seeing.
Speaker 4: Toll analysis, as I mentioned, is used to analyze cellular
Speaker 4: data and the call details for federal probes. This is
Speaker 4: a highly revealing investigative tool. It exploits all the patterns
Speaker 4: of the targets or the people involved in the communication investigation,
Speaker 4: and it also is incredibly invasive because it would look
Speaker 4: at the location data of those senators that were being
Speaker 4: spied on. Now, several of these senators decided to have
Speaker 4: a press conference that were the targets that were spied on.
Speaker 4: Senator Grassley was the first to speak, and I want
Speaker 4: to play it for you. Listen to what they had
Speaker 4: to say that we.
Speaker 5: Can find the solicitation of these telephone records, which I
Speaker 5: think emphasizes the political weaponization that was behind all this effort.
Speaker 5: And we're still getting more information, but we've released some
Speaker 5: records today and I'll let Senator Johnson take over from here,
Speaker 5: and then each one of you collegues can join in
Speaker 5: when you want to whatever you want to say.
Speaker 6: First of all, I want to thank Sander Grassley. It
Speaker 6: is because of his relentless advocacy for whistleblowers that a
Speaker 6: lot of this information is servicing right now. We wouldn't
Speaker 6: know about the list of one hundred Republican entities that
Speaker 6: were targeted by Jack Smith Arctic Frost's investigation. I don't
Speaker 6: think we know about this as well, So we need whistleblowers.
Speaker 6: I think Dan Bongino and folks of the FBI they
Speaker 6: don't know where all the records are hidden. They still don't.
Speaker 6: They're not necessarily getting huncent cooperation. But this is outrage
Speaker 6: what has happened. I just want to give you a
Speaker 6: timeline this. I think you've already got the the FBI
Speaker 6: sheet that shows the number of members of Congress that
Speaker 6: were targeted Representative Kelly Sanatra's, Graham Haggerty, Holly Sullivan, Tuberville, myself,
Speaker 6: Santa Lummis, and Blackburny. This memo was dated September of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three. To put it all into context, the
Speaker 6: mar Lago raid occurred in August of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 6: Jack Smith announced the indictments against President Trump in August
Speaker 6: of twenty twenty three, so this is almost two months later.
Speaker 6: They're casting this net, this fishing accident expedition against members
Speaker 6: of the Senate in the House. Again, I've been investigating
Speaker 6: this with Sanata Grassley. This doesn't surprise me, but it
Speaker 6: should shock every American of what the Bide administration has done.
Speaker 6: And by the way, this is the first time I
Speaker 6: was targeted by the FBI under the Obama administration. The
Speaker 6: same thing happened to both Sender Grassley and I as
Speaker 6: part of the Foreign Foreign Influenced Task Force. We were
Speaker 6: giving a com A briefing to try and convince us
Speaker 6: that the Hunter Biden laptop was no big deal, basically
Speaker 6: trying to throw us off the track. So this is
Speaker 6: major corruption just being revealed inside the Obama and Biden department.
Speaker 6: Justine the FBI and I'll turn it over to guest
Speaker 6: Senator Haggerty, who's one of the individuals. Again, none of
Speaker 6: us were subject to targets this investigation. There's no predicate,
Speaker 6: there's no reason for this other than efficient expedition, which
Speaker 6: again should outrage and shock every American.
Speaker 7: Senator Haggarty, thank you, Senator Johnson and Chairman Grassley, thank you.
Speaker 7: For your leadership in making this happen. This is an
Speaker 7: extraordinary revelation that just took place this afternoon. My colleagues
Speaker 7: and I found out all of US Republicans by the way,
Speaker 7: that we replaced under investigation by this FBI under the
Speaker 7: Joe Biden FBI that was led, I presume by Jack
Speaker 7: Smith and his predecessors. This isn't the first time that
Speaker 7: it's happened, though Senator Johnson just mentioned this. I served
Speaker 7: on the Trump transition team in Trump Tower in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 7: Senator Blackburn was vice chair of the transition committee then.
Speaker 7: As we're probably a dozen or more members of Congress
Speaker 7: to think that we were all surveilled back then by
Speaker 7: the Obama FBI. This corruption to run deep, runs deep,
Speaker 7: and it's gone on for far too long. And the
Speaker 7: fact that it's happened here again, the fact that they
Speaker 7: are looking at our records in twenty twenty three sitting
Speaker 7: members of the United States Senate. Again, the only thing
Speaker 7: that we have in common, the only thing that common
Speaker 7: in this entire list, is that we're all Republicans. They've
Speaker 7: decided to come after us. This is as partisan as
Speaker 7: it gets. The FBI and the corruption's running. There has
Speaker 7: to be cleared out. Thank god we have Cash Betel
Speaker 7: and Dan Bongino there. This has to be addressed, it
Speaker 7: has to be resolved. It needs to happen today.
Speaker 8: What we know is this that the FBI under Joe
Speaker 8: Biden and under Barack Obama, that they exercised activity that
Speaker 8: they had no authority to exercise. And as Senator Haggardy mentioned,
Speaker 8: we know what they did in twenty sixteen to the
Speaker 8: Trump transition team. And now we find out that after
Speaker 8: the mar A Lago raid, after the indictment of President Trump,
Speaker 8: they surveil US people who support President Trump, members who
Speaker 8: are all Republicans. But it shows you how out of
Speaker 8: control and rotten to the core and politicized the FBI
Speaker 8: had become, and how they had absolutely no problem at
Speaker 8: all whatsoever with political weaponization. We appreciate the information we've
Speaker 8: gotten today. We look forward to their investigation on this.
Speaker 4: You just heard from many of those that were targeted
Speaker 4: by the FBI. As you heard Bill Haggerty say, we
Speaker 4: are sitting members of Congress, and by the way, we
Speaker 4: now have learned it's not just senators. There was also
Speaker 4: a representative that had their private communications tracked by the
Speaker 4: former Special Council Jack Smith under the Biden administration. The
Speaker 4: FBI Director Cash Bettel, also revealing files obtained by Fox
Speaker 4: News show that Smith, in his official capacity at the
Speaker 4: Department of Justice, as he investigated Donald Trump and the
Speaker 4: events of January sixth, twenty twenty one, decided to not
Speaker 4: only track the phone calls of Lindsey Graham, Marshall Blackburn,
Speaker 4: Ron Johnson, Josh Holly, Cynthia Loomis, Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan,
Speaker 4: Tommy Tuverville, but also we now have learned Republican Representative
Speaker 4: Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. The alarming doctor document revealing that
Speaker 4: Smith and his Arctic Frost team had subpoena telephone providers
Speaker 4: for the lawmakers records in twenty twenty three, was recently.
Speaker 3: Discovered by Patel.
Speaker 4: Patel confirmed the legitimacy of the findings in an ex post, writing,
Speaker 4: we recently uncovered proof that phone records of US lawmakers
Speaker 4: were sees for political purposes. That abuse of power ends now.
Speaker 4: Under my leadership, the FBI will deliver truth and accountability
Speaker 4: and never again be weaponized against the American people. That
Speaker 4: abuse of power ends now, it seems to be the
Speaker 4: mantra unfortunately that is needed by this administration to make
Speaker 4: sure that these bad actors are exposed and rooted out. Finally,
Speaker 4: you also heard one other thing that was really important
Speaker 4: that was mentioned there. We need listle blowers. You heard
Speaker 4: that from Senator Johnson. He is asking for others to
Speaker 4: come forward that may not about abuse of power that
Speaker 4: was happening in the deep State and letting them know
Speaker 4: there's a safe place to bring it. Bongino, we also
Speaker 4: know brief the impact of the lawmakers on Monday afternoon
Speaker 4: and said that it is a disgrace that he's having
Speaker 4: to sit there and show what he has found. It
Speaker 4: is a disgrace that I have to stand on Capitol
Speaker 4: Hill and reveal this that the FBI was once weaponized
Speaker 4: to track the private communications of US lawmakers for political purposes.
Speaker 4: That era is over. Several of the senators who have
Speaker 4: allegedly been spot on not only spoke at the press
Speaker 4: conference which you just heard, but said that they are
Speaker 4: also going to be looking into this from a congressional standpoint,
Speaker 4: And to put it just an overall perspective for you,
Speaker 4: Senator Holly called Smith's actions not only an abuse of power,
Speaker 4: beyond Watergate, beyond j. Egger Hoover, one that directly strikes
Speaker 4: he said at the Constitution, the separation of powers and
Speaker 4: the First Amendment. And thank goodness that President Donald Trump
Speaker 4: has put great men in charge of the FBI to
Speaker 4: root out this pure evil that is in sight.
Speaker 3: Of it now.
Speaker 4: Story number two, The FBI Director Cash Pttel has fired
Speaker 4: agents involved in tracking the phone calls of eight Republican
Speaker 4: senators and a congressman as part of the former Special
Speaker 4: Counsel Jack Smith's investigation, a sham investigation into President Donald J.
Speaker 4: Trump communication records belonging to GOP Senators Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn,
Speaker 4: Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Loomis, Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan,
Speaker 4: Tommy Tuberville, and Representative Mike Kelly. We know now for
Speaker 4: a fact, we're handed over to Smith's Arctic Frost's team
Speaker 4: after they subpoened major phone companies in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: The fact was unknown to the public until this week,
Speaker 4: when Cash Bettel, the FBI director, saying he discovered the
Speaker 4: files hidden in a lock box that was placed in
Speaker 4: a vault in a cyber place where no one can
Speaker 4: see or search these files.
Speaker 3: The FBI director saying this.
Speaker 9: It in a lock box, put that lock box in
Speaker 9: a vault, and then put that vault in a cyber
Speaker 9: place where no one can see or search these files.
Speaker 9: They're called a restricted access and prohibited access. Restricted access
Speaker 9: means some people get to see it. Prohibited access you
Speaker 9: put it in there when you want to hide it
Speaker 9: from the world, and that takes the authorization of the
Speaker 9: Attorney General and the director of the FBI. So not
Speaker 9: only did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we
Speaker 9: got in there, and when I got in as the
Speaker 9: FBI director, from my experience as rushing Gate, I knew
Speaker 9: where to look and what rooms to open and what
Speaker 9: to to kick down. And that's what we did. We
Speaker 9: found this information to expose to politicization by Jacksmith and
Speaker 9: the prior Department of Justice. I mean, just think about it.
Speaker 9: Eight city United States senators phone records were gathered in
Speaker 9: subpoena through the grand jury process, and it was buried
Speaker 9: and wormholed. It was the hope that no one would
Speaker 9: find it. So we're just scratching the surface here, but
Speaker 9: accountability is coming. We are finding every single person involved.
Speaker 9: We will not leave a single room locked. We will
Speaker 9: go in through all the prohibited access requirements and we
Speaker 9: will find the material and show the American public like
Speaker 9: we have done in this FBI more transformative and transparent
Speaker 9: than any in the US history, to bring accountability to
Speaker 9: the American people. And we were working with our partners
Speaker 9: in Congress, who should be furious at the prior administration's
Speaker 9: leadership and weaponization in singular politicization of law enforcement. The
Speaker 9: American public sees what we're doing, Sean with the statue
Speaker 9: just right off in the beginning. They see what we're
Speaker 9: doing here to unseal the vault and show the world
Speaker 9: how the deep state actually.
Speaker 4: Operated cashptel, making it clear this is the beginning, not
Speaker 4: the end. And if you go back and you actually
Speaker 4: look at what he said quote you put it in
Speaker 4: there and when you want to hide it from the world,
Speaker 4: and that takes the authorization of the Attorney General and
Speaker 4: the director of the FBI. So not only did they
Speaker 4: weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there,
Speaker 4: and when I got to in as the FBI director,
Speaker 4: from my experience as Russia Gate, I knew where to
Speaker 4: look and what rooms to open and what doors to
Speaker 4: knock down and that is what we did. So if
Speaker 4: you want to know why the President of the United
Speaker 4: States of America decided to pick Casptel to do this job.
Speaker 3: It is exactly for this reason.
Speaker 4: And it goes back to what else he had to say, saying, quote,
Speaker 4: we found this information to expose the politicalization by Jack Smith, member,
Speaker 4: this guy in charge of special counsel, weaponizing our government
Speaker 4: to go after Donald Trump and the prior Department of Justice,
Speaker 4: he added, before revealing that he fired the agents who
Speaker 4: facilitated the secret investigations into sitting US law makers. Now
Speaker 4: Holly by the Way Center. Holly, one of the senators
Speaker 4: who had his phone calls tracked by the Biden administration's DOJ,
Speaker 4: called Smith's subpoena an abuse of power beyond Watergate, beyond
Speaker 4: Jaeger Hoover, one that directly strikes at the Constitution, the
Speaker 4: separations of power, and the First Amendment. Holly also said
Speaker 4: it's time for there to be a special counsel, saying, quote,
Speaker 4: we need a full investigation of all involved, who knew
Speaker 4: about it, who ordered it, and who approved it. Anyone
Speaker 4: and everyone who violated the law must be prosecuted the
Speaker 4: way to save the country is to restore the rule
Speaker 4: of law, the senator said. Now, the US Office a
Speaker 4: Special Counsel the USC in August open an investigation into
Speaker 4: Jack Smith, who may have unlawfully targeted President Trump, and
Speaker 4: that may be where this investigation is going next.
