1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: The Democrats.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 2: You just do a simple extension.

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 3: That's the best way.

4
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: The Democrats are holding it up.

5
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 3: They want a one point five trillion dollars for people

6
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 3: that came out of prisons or.

7
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Illegal alias that come into our country. We don't want

8
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: to do that because that will really hurt the healthcare

9
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: that we have in our country.

10
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: Dad, Frankly, you would like to see better healthcare.

11
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Period.

12
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

13
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. It's nice to have you with us

14
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 3: on the forty seven Morning Up. They Ben Ferguson with you,

15
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: and here are the two big stories that are coming

16
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: out of the White House this morning. First up, there

17
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: was a massive win for the President when it comes

18
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: to deploying the National Guard, this time coming from the

19
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: ninth US Circuit decision dealing with him doing exactly this

20
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: in Portland and what does this mean for other cities

21
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: around the country. Also, a massive bombshell, this time coming

22
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: from Senator Chuck Grassley saying he now has proof that

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monico,

24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: plus the FBI Director chrispher Ray all personally approved opening

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: Arctic frost to go after Donald Trump and conservatives that

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: we're aiding and supporting him.

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I'll have more details on that in.

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: A second, but first, every so often something happens that

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: afford to take our rights for granted. We must draw

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: a line in the sand, and our friends at Patriot

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: Mobile have been doing just that for more than twelve years.

33
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: The truth is there is only one provider that boldly

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: stands in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: we're fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: only are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 3: the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,040

Speaker 3: this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five

47

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: and it starts right now. Story number one, the ninth

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: Circuit saying that President Trump can send the National Guard

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: to Portland is another massive win for law and order.

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: And if you think that the left is going to

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: sit down and just say, okay, fine, the President's going

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: to be able to be the president, and he has

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: the authority to do this and he was elected to

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: do it, you're wrong. MSNBC having a total meltdown as

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: Lisa Rubin had to read the ninth Circuit decision authorizing

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: Trump to deploy the National Guard in Portland. Take a

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: listen to how they spun it on MSNBC.

69
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I want to just correct one thing and

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: then explain why functional. Okay, it is the same. This

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: is a stay of Judge Immigrant's opinion, and that's why

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: it reached the Ninth Circuit as soon as it did,

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: because this is an emergency motion to essentially pause for order.

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: But as a functional no matter, you are absolutely correct,

75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: it has the function of overturning her order and thereby

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: allowing the President to send the National Guard back onto

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: the streets of Portland. And Katy, I want to read

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: if I can, just from a little bit of the

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 4: beginning of this ninety three page opinion, it says, after

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: considering the record, and by the record they mean all

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: the factual evidence at this preliminary stage, we conclude that

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: authority under ten USC. Section twelve four oh six. That's

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: the statute we've been referring to as Title ten when

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: we have conversations about the National Guard deployments, which authorizes

86
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: the federalization of the National Guard. When the president is

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of

88
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: the United States. And this is the important part. The

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: evidence the president relied on reflects quote, a colorable assessment

90
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 4: of the facts in law within a range of honest judgment.

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: We thus conclude that defendants are likely to succeed on

92
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: the merits of their appeal. Basically say saying when and

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: if a court considers all of the record in this

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: matter is tried and it gets back to an appellate

95
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: court through an ordinary process where they have full briefing

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 4: and full evidence, that they still think Donald Trump is

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 4: likely to prevail there because he has the discretion to

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 4: determine as the president, within a range of honest judgment.

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 4: So it is reasonable.

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: This is what you and I were talking about last week.

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: It is very clear the left realizes now they're running

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: out of ways to stop President Trump from doing his job,

103
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: a job that he was elected by the American people

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: to do, and they're going to do everything they can

105
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: to continue to try to stop him. But as we

106
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: witness what is happening now in Portland and the total

107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: number of arrast nationwide in the last nine months in

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: law and order, that is also being restored to incredibly

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: violent cities like Portland, Washington, d C. Memphis, Tennessee, and

110
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: many more to come, including Chicago. What you're witnessing is

111
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: a president that is doing exactly what he promised he

112
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: was going to do, keep all Americans safe, no matter

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: where you live.

114
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: Now, story number two.

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: It happened several years ago, but we're now finally starting

116
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: to get to the bottom of the corruption at the

117
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: deep state under Joe Biden's leadership. You may remember us

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: talking about Arctic Frost and that was an FBI DOJ

119
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: investigation that was open in April of twenty twenty two

120
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: as a quote sensitive investigative matter. It focused on efforts,

121
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: they claimed at the time, to overturn the twenty twenty election.

122
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: That's right, they were saying that Donald Trump was trying

123
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: to overthrow.

124
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: The will of the people.

125
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: Multiple outlets and Senator Chuck Grassey's committee are now describing

126
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: it as a precursor to Jack Smith's DC case against

127
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Grassley's office says agents issued one hundred of subpoenas,

128
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: conducted dozens of interviews, and sought call records for eight

129
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: Republican senators and one House member from January the fourth

130
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: through the seventh of twenty twenty one. We now know

131
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: that list has expanded and now include Senator Ted Cruz.

132
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: We also know that not only were they spawing on

133
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 3: elected members of Congress that were Republicans only, they also

134
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: targeted GOP aligned organizations. Notable actions linked to Arctic Frost

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: include the FBI's August ninth, twenty twenty two seizure of

136
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: Representative Scott Perry's phone, surveillance es to locate him and

137
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: broad a request tied to alternate electors. Later elements fed

138
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: into Special Council Jack Smith's.

139
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: Work, which brings us to the new bombshell.

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: Chuck Grassley has now released documents he says show proof

141
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 3: that the Attorney Merrick Garland, the Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monico,

142
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: and FBI Director Chrisopher Ray personally approved opening Arctic Frost

143
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: in April of twenty twenty two. Multiple write ups cite

144
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: the memo and handwritten sign offs, and Grassley posted the

145
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: claims publicly as well. Now, Grasseley's characterization is simple. He

146
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: framed Arctic Frost as a sweeping partisan overreach that weaponized

147
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: law enforcement and surveilled members of Congress. He ties it

148
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: to Smiths now dismissed DC case. And that's just the

149
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: tip of the iceberg. So let's break this down a

150
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: little bit more. The former Attorney General Merrick Garland and

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: former FBI Director Ray decided to approve the sense of

152
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: matter and that led to the surveillance of virtually every

153
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: Republican that we know of right now. It helped spark

154
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: a special Council probe, which was what it was designed

155
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: to do at a Donald truy Rump's quote efforts to

156
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: overturn the twenty twenty election that obviously was a lie.

157
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: Grassley now signed the new documents he received for the

158
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: Department of Justice and Garland's approval of the Sensitive Investigation

159
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: Matter on April the fifth of twenty twenty two, recommended

160
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: by the Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monico, and what it

161
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: did was authorize the FBI's Washington Field office to launch

162
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: a quote full investigation into what officials described as an

163
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: artecutable factual basis indicating the existence of a federal crime

164
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: quote unquote they said involved Trump and individuals closely associated

165
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump, which is exactly how they opened the

166
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: fishing expedition to go after Trump and to try to

167
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: lock him up.

168
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Now.

169
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: The launch of Arctic Frost and the investigation would then

170
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: lead to the appointment of the Special Council Jack Smith

171
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: in November of twenty twenty two. Quote proof that bien

172
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: Attorney General Merrit Garland, deput Attorney General Lisa Monico, and

173
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: FBI Director Ray All personally approved opening Arctic Frost.

174
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Grassley said in his statement.

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: This investigation least unchecked government power at the highest levels.

176
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: My oversight will continue, Grassley says. Grasseley also announced earlier

177
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: this month that at least nine Republican centers now were

178
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: targeted by the FBI in this probe. On October the sixth,

179
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: Grassley said FBI agents conducted toll record analysis, a form

180
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: of communications metadata review, on several GOP lawmakers, including Center

181
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, Josh Harley and Missouri, Ron

182
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: Johnson Wisconsin, and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. The toll analysis

183
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: of the phones could have revealed whom each lawmaker contacted

184
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: by call or texts in the day surrounding the January sixth,

185
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one Capital riot. Grassley called this worse than Watergate.

186
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: In addition, ninety two Republican or conservative aligned groups and individuals,

187
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: including Turning Point USA, co founded by slain conservative leader

188
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, were also targeted, suggesting that Arctich Frost was

189
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: quote much broader than just an electoral matter, Grassley said

190
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: during the briefing. He said, this shows now that they

191
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: were targeting their political adversaries. Arctich Frost wasn't just a

192
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by

193
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: which partisan GOP agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their

194
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: partisan INDs and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,

195
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: Grassley added. FBI Director Caspittel also coming out vowing transparency

196
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: and accountability following the revelations. After Grassley's announcement, we terminate employees,

197
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: we abolished the weaponized cr DASH fifteen squad, and we

198
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead. Patel

199
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: said CR fifteen was the FBI's at Washington Field office

200
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: squad focused on investigating federal public corruption. In reality, it

201
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: was just going after conservatives. In May, the FBI quietly

202
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: disbanded CR DASH fifteen and reassigned its agents as part

203
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: of a broader reorganization and shift in priorities. So here

204
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 3: we are with even more evidence that the Biden administration

205
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: did everything they could not only to go after Donald Trump,

206
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: but to go after anyone that supported Donald Trump politically,

207
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: and any up and coming conservative that they found a

208
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: threat was then put on their lists to be investigated.

209
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: Thank goodness, and Trump is now in the Oval Office

210
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: and the people around him are.

211
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Making sure that this never happens again.
