• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We look forward to welcome you in the United Kingdom.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you once again, Thank you very much. What a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: beautiful accent.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I would have been president twenty years ago if I
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: had that access.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Good Friday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: are the big stories we're talking about today. First up,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: we are now being told that the FBI withheld thousands
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents. Pam Bondi is now
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: confirming that and she is demanding that they be turned
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: over as the deep state continues to go rogue. We
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: also are going to be joined by a guest, Chad Prather,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: who is in the room and received the Epstein documents.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: There were several conservatives that were asked to come to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the White House to meet with the President, the Vice President,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and the Attorney General. You'll hear exclusively from him what
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: they were told about the Epstein documents and what you
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: can expect moving forward. And finally, in a shocking headline,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the New York Post is reporting that the would be
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Trump assassin Thomas Crooks may have had an accomplice that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: is showing that apparently, as investigators are now saying, the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: FBI is suppressing that information from you, the public. It's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Story number one.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: There is a very complicated story that I'm going to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: do everything I can to break it down for you,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and it is about the Jeffrey Epstein files. There was
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: a group of individuals that were asked to come to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the White House that received part one of the Epstein files,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to have that guest, Chad Prather join
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: us in just a moment. But before we get to that,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I want you to understand the real part of this
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: story that's not being covered accurately. There are a lot
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of people saying they're angry by what was released, basically
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: implying that there was nothing new there. Well, there's a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: reason why there was nothing new there, and this is
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: what you need to understand. The Attorney General Pambody has
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: told the FBI Director Cash Pttel that rogue New York
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: FBI office employees are withholding Epstein files and they are
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: doing this against the wishes and the commands of their
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: bosses that include Cash Hotel, the Attorney General, and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: President of the United States of America. Now the Attorney General,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Pambondi has directed the FBI Director Ptel to handle the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: seemingly rogue FBI office in New York for repeatedly refusing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to provide her with the quote full set of documents
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: related to the late billionaire predator Jeffrey Epstein. That is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: what a letter from her office revealed to the American
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: people on Thursday. A photo of that letter, dated February
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the twenty seven, from Bondi to Patel was obtained by
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: independent journalist Tim Poole and confirmed by my guests that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they actually receive this letter at the White House briefing. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at the White House briefing, they were given Epstein files,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Phase one briefing books on exactly the laying out of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: what they do have. The big part of the meeting
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: which was not covered accurately was the fact that Pam
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Bondi and the FBI director explained to them very clearly
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that there are New York FBI officials that have gone
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: completely rogue. The ag letter says the FBI in New
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: York is withholding the critical Epstein documents. This after the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: reports of the FBI was secretly destroying FBI documents as well.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Bondi began her letter by saying, this, before you came
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: into office, I requested the full and complete files related
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: two hundred pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims names
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and phone numbers. I repeatedly questioned whether this was the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: full set of documents responsive to my request, and was
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: full set of documents. The Attorney General continued before reporting
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that she got a tip from a source at the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: FBI Field office in New York, stating that the bureau
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was withholding the complete files. Late yesterday, I learned from
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a source that the FBI Field office in New York
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to the investigation and the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein, Bondi
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: continued in her letter to the FBI director. Despite my
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of any
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of these files. Now let's just pause for a second
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and dissect what we just learned. Pambondi, who is the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Attorney General of the United States of America, who is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: in charge of the FBI, has rogue deep state officials
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in the FBI office in New York that deliberately lied
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to her face and claimed that they had given her
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: all of the documents, when in fact they may have
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: given her less than about ten percent of what they
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: actually have on hand. This is the deep state and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: just how corrupt our government has become. Now. Bondi noted
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that she had already spoken to Caspatel after receiving the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: tip on Wednesday evening, writing that the FBI director was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: just as surprised as I was to learn the new
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: information quote unquote. She then handed Casptel too hard deadlines.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: These are important for you to understand. By eight am
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: on Friday morning, the FBI will deliver the full and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: audio and video recordings, and material related to Jeffrey Epstein
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: That is deadline number one in this letter. Deadline number two,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: she says, I'm also directing you to conduct an immediate
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: investigation to why my order to the FBI was not followed.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You will deliver to me a comprehensive report of your
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: findings and propose personnel action within fourteen days. In her conclusion,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Bondi added that she knows that PTEL has committed to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: transparency for the American people, and that is exactly what
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: they did together at the White House on Thursday.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Next story number two.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned earlier, a dear friend of mine, Chad praythere.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He is the host of the Chad PRAYTHERER show you
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: should download it, and also a morning show called Dear America.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: He got the phone call to go to the White
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: House and to have a conversation about the Epstein files
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and even get that binder that's now become famous. Chad
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: joins me now to talk about this. Chad, Let's start
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: from the very beginning. When did you get asked to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: come to the White House? And did you even know
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: what the meeting was going to be about or who
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: was going to be there?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I did not know. In fact, we were invited for
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a completely different reason. We were not invited on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: basis of knowing anything about the Epstein file. In fact,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: we were invited simply to go meet with President J. D.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Vance to talk about messaging and specifically if we had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: opportunity to visit with some of the cabinet members and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: talk about just the things that the administration is prioritizing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And this was part of President Trump's initiative to to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: sort of sidestep the mainstream and legacy media in order
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to deal with podcasters and influencers and people of that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: nature so that the truth could get out there to people,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, people with an audience, people like me and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: people like you. And this was a part of that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: What happened as we met with various cabinet members today,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it was a great meeting. We didn't think anything of it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Attorney General Pambondi came in. She came in with Director
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Cash Mattel with the FBI, and she said, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: as a gesture of good faith, there's no smoking gun here,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: she said, but we do want to give you phase one.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: She said, A significant thing that we want to expose
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is there's a letter that reveals that we're missing thousands
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of pages of Epsteam documents.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you got confirmation that file today. Of what
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of what we'd heard about. But you mentioned
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that letter and so explain how important that is to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: this being quote phase one.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the first of all, if it wasn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: phase one, if there wasn't more to be revealed, they
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have put the phrase phase one on the front
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of the notebook. That's that's something that people tend to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: forget that we need to remember. This was Jorney General BONDI.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Whether you agree with it or not, I mean, we're
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: all hopeful that this administration is going to do what
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: they say and they're going to be transparent. It's not
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that there's nothing in that notebook, it's just not what
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: we want yet. And that's a big difference. So to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: answer your question, there are those who are out there
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who are saying, you know, why weren't we invited? Well,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: there were literally fifteen sixteen seats around the table. We
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: were invited for a completely different reason. And I'll be
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: honest with you, Ben, and I can't stress this enough.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Most of the influencers and creators and the hosts out
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there that I know, if they had gotten the message
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that I got to be there, they probably would have
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: snubbed it. They probably would have said, I'm not interested
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in going to that. I'm not interested in being a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: part of that, because there was nothing about it that was,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you know, intriguing in regards other than we want to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just sit down and talk about message points.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: It is truly shocking when you see those that attack,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: because you've got this incredible honor to be there and yeah,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and to see this and look, this wasn't just a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: meeting about the Epstein files. There was a lot that
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you guys talked about as well. And I want people
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to understand that this was not just one thing only.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: No, and we can walk you through it. I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: from Bobby Kennedy telling us his secretary, Kennedy talking about
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: what he plans to do with HHS, you know, Carolyn
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Levett talking about the priorities of the messaging of the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: White House, Jade Vance coming in and spending a good
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes with us, hanging out and us able to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: talk about I mean, I literally all these people posting
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: on social media. I literally talked to both the Vice
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: President and the President about them holding not just the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: mainstream and legacy media accountable, but holding social media owners
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: account and accountable. And the Google overlords, and they both
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: assured us and gave us a plan of action whereby
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they're going to take care of that. So all these
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: people out there complaining about it, our priorities were completely different.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: This just got dropped in our lap the FBI.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Is what we've been told with how thousands of pages
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of Jeffrey Epstein documents, Pam Bonnie says, and she's demanding
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that they be turned over. This is the deep state,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But they've said she's demanding that they'd be turned over
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: by Friday morning. I mean, this is the attorney General.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You've got Cash Mattel, who was there today. This was
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a whistle blow or a tipster that said that all
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but quote approximate two undred pages of documents were still
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: being kept secret at the FBI office in New York,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: despite her repeated requests for the full Epstein files. That
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: is a takeaway from y'all's meeting today.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Anyone, anyone in our shoes, would be excited. Anyone sitting
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in those seats today would be excited. They would have
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: responded the same way. They would have been hopeful, They
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: would have been anticipatory. You know, you go through that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and you and I chatted a little bit earlier today
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and I expressed you before doing other media hits, I said,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to decipher what it is I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: reading in here. You know, I've got a lot of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: people who are apparently said, where we've had this information, well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: not all of it, you haven't. There is some stuff
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in there that is different. For instance, you're looking at
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Julane Maxwell's Black Book versus Jeffrey Epstein's Black Books. So
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: anybody would have been excited to receive that. And also,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you know what you're seeing paraded across the AP and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Fox News and all these others is when we went out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Obviously the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was coming
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in today. The press pool was there in full force.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They were out back when he walked out. You know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: unbeknownst to us, we walk out in front of a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: giant pile of cameras and reporters and they're taking the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: pictures and they're taking the snapshots. You know, it's a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's it is in the messaging of the Trump administration
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: reminding the mainstream media that they're not kings and they're
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: not God.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Those that are criticizing saying today was an embarrassment that
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it was a nothing burger, that we learned nothing new.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: The point I think that I want to make sure
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: this audience understands is that this is the beginning of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: what we of this not the end. Is that a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: fair way of putting it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You read that letter that Pam Bondi wrote to Cash Betel,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and you would think, oh, somebody's in trouble here, there's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this is sort of a rebuke, but it wasn't. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: she wanted to make sure that everybody knew that was clear.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They are working in conjunction with one another in this
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: new Department of Justice to make sure is that this
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: information comes out. Uh And and I believe them. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: believe them, You know, Ben I don't. I don't. I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: don't suffer fools. And man, I can see through people.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty intuitive. But this this administration, what I saw today,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the sense, the atmosphere, just as I said earlier, just
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a backslapping camaraderie of a team working together. To use
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Carolyn Levett's phrase, this you can't keep up. It's a whirlwind.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: This administration's working around the clock. I truly believe them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: We ain't fly over country. They want to talk to Americans,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and that's who you talk to. That's the reason why
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you and I are friends. You're a real person with
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: a real story to tell, with a real audience of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the hard working men and women that just want to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: be left alone by their government and they want to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: have a great life for their kids and their grandkids.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And finally, story number three.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It is a headline that shocked the world coming from
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the New York Posts, would be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: may have had an accomplice. Data shows, as investigators say,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the FBI is suppressing information. Well, it's been almost nine
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: months since the seemingly mild mannered twenty year old attempted
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to assassinate then Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and we still have no good
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: reason why. Well, sources are now telling the New York
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Posts the FBI has quote obstructed efforts to solve the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: mystery of why the individual who left no manifesto did
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: what he did. It's also left local law enforcement, as
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: well as his former friends, classmates, and teachers incredibly frustrated,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and those who may know his parents have refused all
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: interviews and remain in their small, three bedroom home, sealed
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: off from the world. Like Hermit's neighbors say, they only
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: leave the house at three am to buy groceries. Even
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: just last week at the SEAPAC convention, Elon Musk yelled
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: out the audience saying this quote, By the way, why
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: do we know nothing about that guy in Butler. We
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: also know the Cashpittel. The FBI director is saying that
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: we are quote going to get to the bottom of it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So this is where the New York Post story gets interesting.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Quote A veteran private investigator from Erie, Pennsylvania who was
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: hired shortly after the fatal July thirteenth event at the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Butler farm, was hired to look into the man by
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a private client. That's what he told the Posts. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: believes a quote criminal network quote unquote was operating with
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: him at the time of the assassination attempt, is still
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: in existence and still wants to kill President Trump. Doug Hagman,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: whose team of six other investigators have been working the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: case for months and have interviewed more than one hundred people,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: said they also conducted extensive geo fencing analysis of cell
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: phones and tablets not belonging to the young man that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: were found with him at his home, at the rifle
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: range where he took target practice, at the rally, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: at Bethel Park High School, where he graduated in twenty
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: twenty two. Quote. We don't think he acted alone, is
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: what the investigator said to the New York Posts. This
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: took a lot of coordination. In my view, the shooter
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: was handled by more than one individual, and he was
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: used for this assassination attempt, and I wouldn't preclude the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Now the question now is will we, actually, because of
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: this article coming out of the New York Post, start
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to get some more answers, or at least will people
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: start asking more questions. We also know about the egregious
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: breach in protocol having someone on a rooftop just one
• 15:23
