1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: We look forward to welcome you in the United Kingdom.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Thank you once again, Thank you very much. What a

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: beautiful accent.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: I would have been president twenty years ago if I

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: had that access.

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Thank you.

7
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: Good Friday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here

10
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: are the big stories we're talking about today. First up,

11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: we are now being told that the FBI withheld thousands

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents. Pam Bondi is now

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: confirming that and she is demanding that they be turned

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: over as the deep state continues to go rogue. We

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: also are going to be joined by a guest, Chad Prather,

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: who is in the room and received the Epstein documents.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: There were several conservatives that were asked to come to

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: the White House to meet with the President, the Vice President,

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: and the Attorney General. You'll hear exclusively from him what

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: they were told about the Epstein documents and what you

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: can expect moving forward. And finally, in a shocking headline,

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: the New York Post is reporting that the would be

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Trump assassin Thomas Crooks may have had an accomplice that

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: is showing that apparently, as investigators are now saying, the

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: FBI is suppressing that information from you, the public. It's

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: Story number one.

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: There is a very complicated story that I'm going to

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: do everything I can to break it down for you,

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: and it is about the Jeffrey Epstein files. There was

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: a group of individuals that were asked to come to

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: the White House that received part one of the Epstein files,

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: and I'm going to have that guest, Chad Prather join

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: us in just a moment. But before we get to that,

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: I want you to understand the real part of this

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: story that's not being covered accurately. There are a lot

37
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: of people saying they're angry by what was released, basically

38
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: implying that there was nothing new there. Well, there's a

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: reason why there was nothing new there, and this is

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: what you need to understand. The Attorney General Pambody has

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: told the FBI Director Cash Pttel that rogue New York

42
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: FBI office employees are withholding Epstein files and they are

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: doing this against the wishes and the commands of their

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: bosses that include Cash Hotel, the Attorney General, and the

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: President of the United States of America. Now the Attorney General,

46
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: Pambondi has directed the FBI Director Ptel to handle the

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: seemingly rogue FBI office in New York for repeatedly refusing

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: to provide her with the quote full set of documents

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: related to the late billionaire predator Jeffrey Epstein. That is

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: what a letter from her office revealed to the American

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: people on Thursday. A photo of that letter, dated February

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: the twenty seven, from Bondi to Patel was obtained by

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: independent journalist Tim Poole and confirmed by my guests that

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: they actually receive this letter at the White House briefing. Now,

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: at the White House briefing, they were given Epstein files,

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: Phase one briefing books on exactly the laying out of

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: what they do have. The big part of the meeting

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: which was not covered accurately was the fact that Pam

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Bondi and the FBI director explained to them very clearly

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: that there are New York FBI officials that have gone

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: completely rogue. The ag letter says the FBI in New

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: York is withholding the critical Epstein documents. This after the

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: reports of the FBI was secretly destroying FBI documents as well.

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Bondi began her letter by saying, this, before you came

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: into office, I requested the full and complete files related

66
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: two hundred pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs,

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims names

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: and phone numbers. I repeatedly questioned whether this was the

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: full set of documents responsive to my request, and was

71
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: full set of documents. The Attorney General continued before reporting

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: that she got a tip from a source at the

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: FBI Field office in New York, stating that the bureau

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: was withholding the complete files. Late yesterday, I learned from

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: a source that the FBI Field office in New York

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: to the investigation and the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, Bondi

79
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: continued in her letter to the FBI director. Despite my

80
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of any

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: of these files. Now let's just pause for a second

82
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: and dissect what we just learned. Pambondi, who is the

83
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: Attorney General of the United States of America, who is

84
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: in charge of the FBI, has rogue deep state officials

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: in the FBI office in New York that deliberately lied

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: to her face and claimed that they had given her

87
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: all of the documents, when in fact they may have

88
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: given her less than about ten percent of what they

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: actually have on hand. This is the deep state and

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: just how corrupt our government has become. Now. Bondi noted

91
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: that she had already spoken to Caspatel after receiving the

92
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: tip on Wednesday evening, writing that the FBI director was

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: just as surprised as I was to learn the new

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: information quote unquote. She then handed Casptel too hard deadlines.

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: These are important for you to understand. By eight am

96
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: on Friday morning, the FBI will deliver the full and

97
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents,

98
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: audio and video recordings, and material related to Jeffrey Epstein

99
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained.

100
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: That is deadline number one in this letter. Deadline number two,

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: she says, I'm also directing you to conduct an immediate

102
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: investigation to why my order to the FBI was not followed.

103
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: You will deliver to me a comprehensive report of your

104
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: findings and propose personnel action within fourteen days. In her conclusion,

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: Bondi added that she knows that PTEL has committed to

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: transparency for the American people, and that is exactly what

107
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: they did together at the White House on Thursday.

108
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: Next story number two.

109
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: As I mentioned earlier, a dear friend of mine, Chad praythere.

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: He is the host of the Chad PRAYTHERER show you

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: should download it, and also a morning show called Dear America.

112
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: He got the phone call to go to the White

113
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: House and to have a conversation about the Epstein files

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: and even get that binder that's now become famous. Chad

115
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: joins me now to talk about this. Chad, Let's start

116
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: from the very beginning. When did you get asked to

117
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: come to the White House? And did you even know

118
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: what the meeting was going to be about or who

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: was going to be there?

120
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I did not know. In fact, we were invited for

121
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: a completely different reason. We were not invited on the

122
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: basis of knowing anything about the Epstein file. In fact,

123
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: we were invited simply to go meet with President J. D.

124
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Vance to talk about messaging and specifically if we had

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to visit with some of the cabinet members and

126
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: talk about just the things that the administration is prioritizing.

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: And this was part of President Trump's initiative to to

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: sort of sidestep the mainstream and legacy media in order

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: to deal with podcasters and influencers and people of that

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: nature so that the truth could get out there to people,

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean, people with an audience, people like me and

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: people like you. And this was a part of that.

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: What happened as we met with various cabinet members today,

134
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: it was a great meeting. We didn't think anything of it.

135
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Attorney General Pambondi came in. She came in with Director

136
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Cash Mattel with the FBI, and she said, you know,

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: as a gesture of good faith, there's no smoking gun here,

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: she said, but we do want to give you phase one.

139
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: She said, A significant thing that we want to expose

140
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: is there's a letter that reveals that we're missing thousands

141
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: of pages of Epsteam documents.

142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, you got confirmation that file today. Of what

143
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: a lot of what we'd heard about. But you mentioned

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: that letter and so explain how important that is to

145
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: this being quote phase one.

146
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think the first of all, if it wasn't

147
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: phase one, if there wasn't more to be revealed, they

148
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have put the phrase phase one on the front

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: of the notebook. That's that's something that people tend to

150
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: forget that we need to remember. This was Jorney General BONDI.

151
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Whether you agree with it or not, I mean, we're

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: all hopeful that this administration is going to do what

153
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: they say and they're going to be transparent. It's not

154
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: that there's nothing in that notebook, it's just not what

155
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: we want yet. And that's a big difference. So to

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: answer your question, there are those who are out there

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: who are saying, you know, why weren't we invited? Well,

158
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: there were literally fifteen sixteen seats around the table. We

159
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: were invited for a completely different reason. And I'll be

160
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: honest with you, Ben, and I can't stress this enough.

161
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Most of the influencers and creators and the hosts out

162
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: there that I know, if they had gotten the message

163
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: that I got to be there, they probably would have

164
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: snubbed it. They probably would have said, I'm not interested

165
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: in going to that. I'm not interested in being a

166
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: part of that, because there was nothing about it that was,

167
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, intriguing in regards other than we want to

168
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: just sit down and talk about message points.

169
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: It is truly shocking when you see those that attack,

170
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: because you've got this incredible honor to be there and yeah,

171
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: and to see this and look, this wasn't just a

172
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: meeting about the Epstein files. There was a lot that

173
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: you guys talked about as well. And I want people

174
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: to understand that this was not just one thing only.

175
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: No, and we can walk you through it. I mean,

176
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: from Bobby Kennedy telling us his secretary, Kennedy talking about

177
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: what he plans to do with HHS, you know, Carolyn

178
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Levett talking about the priorities of the messaging of the

179
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: White House, Jade Vance coming in and spending a good

180
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: thirty minutes with us, hanging out and us able to

181
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: talk about I mean, I literally all these people posting

182
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: on social media. I literally talked to both the Vice

183
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: President and the President about them holding not just the

184
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: mainstream and legacy media accountable, but holding social media owners

185
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: account and accountable. And the Google overlords, and they both

186
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: assured us and gave us a plan of action whereby

187
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: they're going to take care of that. So all these

188
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: people out there complaining about it, our priorities were completely different.

189
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: This just got dropped in our lap the FBI.

190
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Is what we've been told with how thousands of pages

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: of Jeffrey Epstein documents, Pam Bonnie says, and she's demanding

192
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: that they be turned over. This is the deep state,

193
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: But they've said she's demanding that they'd be turned over

194
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: by Friday morning. I mean, this is the attorney General.

195
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: You've got Cash Mattel, who was there today. This was

196
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: a whistle blow or a tipster that said that all

197
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: but quote approximate two undred pages of documents were still

198
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: being kept secret at the FBI office in New York,

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: despite her repeated requests for the full Epstein files. That

200
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 2: is a takeaway from y'all's meeting today.

201
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: Anyone, anyone in our shoes, would be excited. Anyone sitting

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: in those seats today would be excited. They would have

203
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: responded the same way. They would have been hopeful, They

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: would have been anticipatory. You know, you go through that

205
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: and you and I chatted a little bit earlier today

206
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: and I expressed you before doing other media hits, I said,

207
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to decipher what it is I'm

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: reading in here. You know, I've got a lot of

209
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: people who are apparently said, where we've had this information, well,

210
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: not all of it, you haven't. There is some stuff

211
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: in there that is different. For instance, you're looking at

212
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Julane Maxwell's Black Book versus Jeffrey Epstein's Black Books. So

213
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: anybody would have been excited to receive that. And also,

214
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: you know what you're seeing paraded across the AP and

215
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Fox News and all these others is when we went out.

216
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: Obviously the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was coming

217
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: in today. The press pool was there in full force.

218
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: They were out back when he walked out. You know,

219
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to us, we walk out in front of a

220
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: giant pile of cameras and reporters and they're taking the

221
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: pictures and they're taking the snapshots. You know, it's a

222
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: it's it is in the messaging of the Trump administration

223
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: reminding the mainstream media that they're not kings and they're

224
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: not God.

225
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: Those that are criticizing saying today was an embarrassment that

226
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: it was a nothing burger, that we learned nothing new.

227
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: The point I think that I want to make sure

228
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: this audience understands is that this is the beginning of

229
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: what we of this not the end. Is that a

230
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: fair way of putting it.

231
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: You read that letter that Pam Bondi wrote to Cash Betel,

232
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: and you would think, oh, somebody's in trouble here, there's

233
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: this is sort of a rebuke, but it wasn't. And

234
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: she wanted to make sure that everybody knew that was clear.

235
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: They are working in conjunction with one another in this

236
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: new Department of Justice to make sure is that this

237
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: information comes out. Uh And and I believe them. I

238
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: believe them, You know, Ben I don't. I don't. I

239
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: don't suffer fools. And man, I can see through people.

240
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty intuitive. But this this administration, what I saw today,

241
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the sense, the atmosphere, just as I said earlier, just

242
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: a backslapping camaraderie of a team working together. To use

243
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Carolyn Levett's phrase, this you can't keep up. It's a whirlwind.

244
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: This administration's working around the clock. I truly believe them.

245
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: We ain't fly over country. They want to talk to Americans,

246
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: and that's who you talk to. That's the reason why

247
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: you and I are friends. You're a real person with

248
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: a real story to tell, with a real audience of

249
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: the hard working men and women that just want to

250
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: be left alone by their government and they want to

251
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: have a great life for their kids and their grandkids.

252
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: And finally, story number three.

253
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: It is a headline that shocked the world coming from

254
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: the New York Posts, would be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks

255
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: may have had an accomplice. Data shows, as investigators say,

256
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: the FBI is suppressing information. Well, it's been almost nine

257
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: months since the seemingly mild mannered twenty year old attempted

258
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: to assassinate then Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at that

259
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and we still have no good

260
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: reason why. Well, sources are now telling the New York

261
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: Posts the FBI has quote obstructed efforts to solve the

262
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: mystery of why the individual who left no manifesto did

263
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: what he did. It's also left local law enforcement, as

264
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 2: well as his former friends, classmates, and teachers incredibly frustrated,

265
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: and those who may know his parents have refused all

266
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: interviews and remain in their small, three bedroom home, sealed

267
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: off from the world. Like Hermit's neighbors say, they only

268
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: leave the house at three am to buy groceries. Even

269
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: just last week at the SEAPAC convention, Elon Musk yelled

270
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: out the audience saying this quote, By the way, why

271
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: do we know nothing about that guy in Butler. We

272
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: also know the Cashpittel. The FBI director is saying that

273
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: we are quote going to get to the bottom of it.

274
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: So this is where the New York Post story gets interesting.

275
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: Quote A veteran private investigator from Erie, Pennsylvania who was

276
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: hired shortly after the fatal July thirteenth event at the

277
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: Butler farm, was hired to look into the man by

278
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: a private client. That's what he told the Posts. He

279
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: believes a quote criminal network quote unquote was operating with

280
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: him at the time of the assassination attempt, is still

281
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: in existence and still wants to kill President Trump. Doug Hagman,

282
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: whose team of six other investigators have been working the

283
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: case for months and have interviewed more than one hundred people,

284
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: said they also conducted extensive geo fencing analysis of cell

285
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: phones and tablets not belonging to the young man that

286
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: were found with him at his home, at the rifle

287
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: range where he took target practice, at the rally, and

288
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: at Bethel Park High School, where he graduated in twenty

289
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: twenty two. Quote. We don't think he acted alone, is

290
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: what the investigator said to the New York Posts. This

291
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: took a lot of coordination. In my view, the shooter

292
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: was handled by more than one individual, and he was

293
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: used for this assassination attempt, and I wouldn't preclude the

294
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him.

295
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: Now the question now is will we, actually, because of

296
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: this article coming out of the New York Post, start

297
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: to get some more answers, or at least will people

298
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: start asking more questions. We also know about the egregious

299
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: breach in protocol having someone on a rooftop just one

300
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty yards away open fire onto the main stage,

301
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: and but were minutes after Donald Trump, seventy eight at

302
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: the time, was up there speaking to the crowd. We

303
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: also know he fired eight shots, one of them striking

304
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: the former president in the right ear. Not only did

305
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: he shoot the president of the United States of America,

306
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: but he also killed someone in the crowd and seriously

307
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: wounded to others. The autopsy report indicated that the would

308
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: be assassin was pronounced dead at six twenty five pm

309
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: on July the thirteenth from a gunshot wound to the

310
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: head by a counter sniper. At the end of the day,

311
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: there seems to be a lot of questions that need

312
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
