1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: The declassification report that was put out by Senator Grassley today.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up, because this should be

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: a story every outlet in this room should be covering.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: This is further evidence that Hillary Clinton approved the Russia

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: hoax against President Trump, her campaign financed it. Again, she

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: approved it, and the FBI and the CIA were both

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: weaponized to, as our Director of CIA has said, accelerate

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: this hoax against then candidates and former President Trump.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got one major

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: story for you today, the Russia hoax. It's been exposed

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: even more than you could imagine. Hillary Clinton, we are

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: now being told greenlit the Russia hoax to hide her

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: own email scandal. And the even bigger scandal is the

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: fact that now we have declassified documents that were hidden

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: from you the American Voters Center. Ted Cruz joins me

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 3: to talk about what this means moving forward and who

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: could be in trouble, including possible indictments, and how Congress

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: will respond. All right, I want to take a moment

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,399

Speaker 3: Wall Street, You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: Why because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160

Speaker 3: All right, so center, where were you when you found

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: out the Russian hoax is now being exposed? And what

59
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: was your initial reaction to Hillary Clinton greenlighting this? It's

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: like for me, I was like, Yep, that makes sense, Yep,

61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: that adds up, Yep, that matches.

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look the evidence has been coming over the last

63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: several weeks. So Telsea Gabbard released a significant evidence that

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: the intelligence community had been telling Barack Obama and the

65
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: Obama administration that Russia was not trying to hack the election.

66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: They'd been doing that for months. We covered that on

67
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: a previous pod. And then this week the portions of

68
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: the classified annex of John Durham's Special Council investigation were released,

69
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: and they were released by my colleague Chuck Grassley, who

70
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I

71
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 4: got to say, it is stunning what is in these

72
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: newly de classified documents. So they reveal quote confidential conversations

73
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: between members of the Democratic National Committee and George Soros's

74
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 4: Open Society Foundation that occurred before the twenty sixteen election,

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: and in particular, accorded to the declassified files, Hillary Clinton

76
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: personally approved a plan that had been proposed by her

77
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: foreign policy advisor, woman named Julianne Smith, to quote smear

78
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion

79
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: by the Russian Special Services in the pre election process

80
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: to benefit the Republican candidate and by the way Julianne

81
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 4: Smith was later appointed to serve as ambassador to NATO

82
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: under President Joe Biden, so it turned out this was

83
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: this was a profitable role for her to be involved

84
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: in this massive hoax. There's an email in particular that

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: is that is really remarkable. It was written by Open

86
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: Society Foundations senior vice president, a fellow named Leonard Bernardo,

87
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: and it was dated July twenty seventh, twenty sixteen. And

88
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: here's what it says. Quote HRC. HRC stands for Hillary Rodham.

89
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: Clinton approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering

90
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: US elections. This is in July of twenty sixteen. That

91
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: should distract people from her own missing email, especially if

92
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: the affair goes to the Olympic level and his email

93
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 4: continues quote the point is making the Russian play a

94
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: US domestic issue in absence of direct evidence. CrowdStrike and

95
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: Threat Connect will supply the media, and g r U,

96
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: which is the foreign intelligence arm of Russia UH will

97
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: hopefully carry on to give more facts. And and OK,

98
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 4: I gotta say this is Hillary explicitly signing on and

99
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: and counting on UH, counting on the assistance and and

100
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: and and then he goes on to say he says

101
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: that that the Clinton campaign's plan included quote raising the

102
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: theme of Putin's support for Trump and pushing public opinion

103
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: to quote equoatee the Russian leader's influence campaign with actual

104
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: election infrastructure hacking. And it involved distributing quote the necessary

105
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: information through the FBI affiliated technical structures, in part particular

106
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: the crowd Strike and threat Connect companies, from where the

107
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: information would then be disseminated through lead leading US opinion

108
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: of publications. And that's another email from Bernardo. And then

109
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: the email predicts and this is stunning that the FBI

110
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: would quote put more oil into the fire of the

111
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: Russia collusion narrative. This was an explicit plan by the

112
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton campaign and by Hillary Clinton herself to use

113
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: the FBI to spread a lie about Donald Trump. And

114
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: it was in order to try to win the election.

115
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: And thank god, the American people were not deceived and

116
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: they elected Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.

117
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: Who paid for it and when it went to the FBI,

118
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: how they categorized at the time the dossier and everything else.

119
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: It was paid for by Hillary Clinton, partially her campaign

120
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: and then the Democratic National Committee. They created it out

121
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: of thin air. And then they went to the FBI,

122
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: and even the FBI had classified, if I remember correctly,

123
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: as quote user generated and even offered. I think it

124
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: was like a million dollars to steal if he could

125
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: verify any of this dossier, which he never got paid

126
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: on because he couldn't do it well.

127
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: The Steele dossier was designed to be a lie and

128
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: it was straight out opposition research. It was paid for

129
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was paid for by

130
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: the DNC. They paid over a million dollars, and they

131
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 4: hid the fees that they hid them as quote legal

132
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: fees to their law firms, Perkins Cooy. They had five

133
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: point six million in legal fees that were paid in

134
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: one bill and they hid that amount in there. And

135
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: once they created the Steele dossier that just made blatant

136
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: lies about Donald Trump, they then gave it to the

137
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: FBI and Obama DOJ and FBI officials were active in

138
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: covering up that this came from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

139
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: And understand, and this is during the presidential campaign, this

140
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 4: is while the campaign is in full speed. This this

141
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: false oppo research document. It was just concocted. It was

142
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: just created out of whole cloth. It became the basis

143
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: for for then an FBI investigation, and and that FBI

144
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: investigation was then UH eagerly leaked uh to the press,

145
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: and the press breathlessly reported on it. And the fact

146
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: that the FBI was investigating it took it as as

147
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: confirmation that that that Vladimir Putin was behind the Trump

148
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: campaign and and the entire the entire operation was a

149
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: deliberate and false, uh, misleading campaign. They that they they

150
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: knew that it was. And and you know, here's one

151
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: thing John Solomon UH says about the Durham annex that

152
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: just got released. Quote, this is the smoking gun evidence

153
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: inside the Durham Annis. If it is authenticated by further investigation,

154
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 4: it means liberal mega donor George Soros's team knew the

155
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: whole Clinton plan for Russia Gate hoax four days before

156
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: FBI opened up the probe, and so did Obama, Brennan

157
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: and Comy. This was a deliberate lie, and everyone involved

158
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: in it knew they were lying, and they were lying,

159
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: number one, because they wanted to effectively steal the election,

160
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: mislead the American people. And by the way, the Washington

161
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: Post of the New York Times both won Pulitzer Prizes

162
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: for reporting on these lies, for repeating these lies, for

163
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: being an avenue of propaganda and disinformation. So of course

164
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: The Washington Post and New York Times are very reluctant

165
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: to cover what's being released now because it shows that

166
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 4: they operated essentially as misinformation arms of the Hillary Clinton campaign.

167
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 4: They did it at first hoping to win the election

168
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 4: through deception, but then after the election was over Donald

169
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: Trump was elected to his first term, they did it

170
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: within the government to try to undermine the newly elected

171
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: president of the United States, and understand to do this,

172
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 4: it takes a real contempt, not just for the incoming president,

173
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: it takes a contempt for the voters. It takes a

174
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: contempt for the democratic process. For someone that's in a

175
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: senior government position, whether at the FBI or at the

176
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: CIA or at the Department of Justice, to say, I

177
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: don't care that the American people elected this president, I

178
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: don't like him, I disagree with him, and so I'm

179
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: going to abuse my government position in order to try

180
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: to destroy the presidency from within. And this was not accidental,

181
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: This was not based on misunderstandings. This was a deliberate

182
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: lie and they knew they were lying.

183
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: You look at this and you say, okay, this is

184
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: a massive scheme. Now the question is I go back

185
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: to it. I feel like I ask you this a

186
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 3: lot when we have these issues come out. Will there

187
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: be any accountability for this? We know that there's some

188
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: that were pardoned by Biden, for example, that there's the

189
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: question of was it the auto pen That doesn't come

190
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: into play here. With Hillary Clinton. There have been people saying, Wow,

191
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to get anything here

192
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: because it is what it is. Politics is dirty? Get

193
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: over it? Is this in the category of politics is dirty?

194
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: Get over it? Or is there more there?

195
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: So look, I hope there is accountability. Pambondi, the Attorney

196
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: General has created a strike force that is investigating these lies,

197
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 4: investigating this cover up. The challenge is going to be

198
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: the Statute of Limitations, and look at statutal limitations. It's

199
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: ordinarily for something like this five years. The Statute of

200
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: Limitations is designed to stop prosecutors from bringing cases on

201
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: things that are many, many years decades old. And there

202
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: are a lot of reasons for that, but for most

203
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: of this conduct it has passed. The Statute of limitation

204
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 4: there's some exceptions. So, for example, Andrew McCabe, the deputy

205
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: director the FBI, lied to Congress, and he did so

206
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: within the last five years. And so McCabe. McCabe of

207
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: all of the players, probably faces the greatest legal jeopardy

208
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: because he's got if it can be demonstrated that he

209
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: deliberately lied to Congress under oath, that that is a

210
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: felony that carries jail time with him with respect to

211
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: to other conduct, other lies done under oath. If it

212
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: happened before the statutal limitations, the only way to bring

213
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: a prosecution is for the prosecutors to argue that the

214
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: information was concealed and that told the statute limitations. That's

215
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 4: a plausible argument, but it's difficult to prove it's it's

216
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: it's not. Courts don't agree with that often, and so

217
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: that that that makes it more challenging to bring those cases.

218
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: So is this more of an issue now?

219
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: Of all?

220
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: Right?

221
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: The American people know they were lied to, they know

222
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: that there's corruptions at the highest level in our government.

223
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: They know that they did this while they were in power,

224
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 3: and they know they did to also cover up. And

225
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton has still not been held accountable. I mean,

226
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: some could argue maybe on election day when she's running

227
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 3: against Trump, but with the email scandal and the declassified documents,

228
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: you look at what she did compared to what they

229
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: rated Marlago over. It is disgusting. The abuse of power

230
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 3: by the Democratic Party over the last two administrations when

231
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: they've been in power.

232
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: It is.

233
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 4: And you look at a press release the Hillary Clinton

234
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: campaign put out and it reads as follows, quote Hillary

235
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: for America statement on US government formally naming Russia responsible

236
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: for election related hacks. John Podesta, chair of Hillary for America,

237
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: released the following statement Friday, quote, the world now knows

238
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: beyond a shadow of a doubt that the hack of

239
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 4: the Democratic National Committee was carried out by the Russian

240
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: government in a clear attempt to interfere with the integrity

241
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: of our elections. The only remaining question is why Donald

242
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: Trump continues to make apologies for the Russians. Trump's initial

243
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: reaction to the hack in July was to invite further

244
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: intrusions by the Russians, even after he was reportedly briefs

245
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: on the very findings that were just publicly announced by

246
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: the US government official. He stood on a debate stage

247
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: one week ago and played dumb about Russia's role in

248
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: this hack. He has repeatedly praised Vladimir Putin, outlined a

249
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: list of pro Putin policies, and has done hundreds of

250
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: millions of dollars of business with Russian interests. Every word

251
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: of what that press release said is false. They knew

252
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 4: it was false, and they were willing to campaign based

253
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: on lies, and Hillary Clinton, according to this emails, personally

254
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: approved those lives.
