- 0:01Speaker 1: What is your message to people who made encounters on
- 0:05Speaker 1: this pains there?
- 0:07Speaker 2: How do you get them well? Up till now that
- 0:09Speaker 2: hasn't been a great deal of pain. There could be
- 0:11Speaker 2: a great deal of pain, but up till now that
- 0:13Speaker 2: hasn't been.
- 0:14Speaker 3: I will say this, just hang in there, because I
- 0:16Speaker 3: think a lot of good things are going to happen,
- 0:18Speaker 3: so total they can say it.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of good things could happen,
- 0:21Speaker 2: and that could also pretend to help you.
- 0:24Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:27Speaker 5: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
- 0:29Speaker 5: the forty seven Morning Update. And this is one of
- 0:32Speaker 5: those shows that's very important and I hope you will
- 0:35Speaker 5: share it everywhere you can with family and friends and
- 0:38Speaker 5: on social media. This story is one the media is
- 0:41Speaker 5: not covering. Instead, they're going to talk about the government
- 0:44Speaker 5: shut down. But this story should scare everyone to their core.
- 0:49Speaker 5: And this is the story Jack Smith and the Biden
- 0:53Speaker 5: Department of Justice. We're tracking the phone calls of their
- 0:58Speaker 5: political enemies, specifically eight GOP sentners and a Republican congressman. Yes,
- 1:07Speaker 5: they were literally spying on our men and women that
- 1:11Speaker 5: are in Washington who've been elected by you and I
- 1:15Speaker 5: And the one thing and the only thing they had
- 1:17Speaker 5: in common was that they were all Republicans.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But first I got to ask you a question.
- 1:24Speaker 5: Are you one of those that's just so tired of
- 1:26Speaker 5: giving your money to radical left woke companies that actually
- 1:29Speaker 5: are fighting against your values every day? Well, there are
- 1:33Speaker 5: certain bills that you pay every month that if you
- 1:36Speaker 5: can go with a conservative company, why not do it?
- 1:39Speaker 5: In fact, why not go with a conservative company actually
- 1:42Speaker 5: takes part of your bill every month that you're going
- 1:44Speaker 5: to pay to somebody, and they give it back to
- 1:47Speaker 5: organizations that support your First and your Second Amendment rights,
- 1:51Speaker 5: that support the rights of unborn children, that stand with
- 1:54Speaker 5: our military, our first responders, and so many wounded war
- 2:00Speaker 5: warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm talking about
- 2:03Speaker 5: is your cell phone bill. And I've been telling you
- 2:06Speaker 5: for a long time about Patriot Mobile. But there's no
- 2:09Speaker 5: better time to switch than right now. Not only does
- 2:12Speaker 5: Patriot Mobile operate on all three major networks in this country, yeah,
- 2:16Speaker 5: all three. That means you get the same great coverage
- 2:19Speaker 5: you're used to right now, but you also make a
- 2:21Speaker 5: difference with every call you make and every text you make,
- 2:24Speaker 5: and why would you want to give your money a
- 2:26Speaker 5: big mobile. Big Mobile has been giving big donations to
- 2:29Speaker 5: democratic causes, democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking
- 2:35Speaker 5: about organizations that actually support abortion. That is why I
- 2:40Speaker 5: want you to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go
- 2:44Speaker 5: ahead and make the switch, and it's so easy. All
- 2:48Speaker 5: you have to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles one
- 2:50Speaker 5: hundred percent US based team from the comfort of your
- 2:53Speaker 5: home or your office and they'll have you activated in minutes.
- 2:57Speaker 5: And if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up to five hundred
- 3:03Speaker 5: dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
- 3:07Speaker 5: or upgrade do a new one. So back to my point,
- 3:09Speaker 5: what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
- 3:13Speaker 5: make a difference every single day with every call you make.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot
- 3:22Speaker 5: com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot And
- 3:26Speaker 5: if you use the promo code ferguson, you're gonna get
- 3:28Speaker 5: a free month of service on top of that. Patriot
- 3:31Speaker 5: Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven two Patriot.
- 3:36Speaker 5: That's Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or ninety seven.
- 3:39Speaker 2: To two Patriot.
- 3:40Speaker 5: It's the forty seven Morning Update, and it starts right now.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Story number one.
- 3:45Speaker 5: This is a story that I'm about to tell you
- 3:47Speaker 5: that it's an incredibly important one. It is a fact
- 3:50Speaker 5: now that the FBI literally spot on not one, not two,
- 3:57Speaker 5: not three, four, five, six, seven, but eight GOP senators.
- 4:04Speaker 5: It was called a total analysis. That is the terminology
- 4:08Speaker 5: that's used by FBI investigators to analyze cellular call data
- 4:14Speaker 5: for federal probes. Think of it as link analysis that
- 4:18Speaker 5: shows patterns of communication location data as well as potential
- 4:24Speaker 5: targets network of associates. This should shock every single one
- 4:31Speaker 5: of you to a core. And these declassified records, as
- 4:35Speaker 5: the FBI Director Cash Bettel is now exposing code name
- 4:39Speaker 5: Arctic Frost was brought because of a whistle blower disclosures
- 4:43Speaker 5: to Senator Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson that showed nearly
- 4:48Speaker 5: one hundred conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, were part
- 4:56Speaker 5: of the probe. Now you have something that's even more shocked,
- 5:00Speaker 5: and that is not only was the FBI going after
- 5:02Speaker 5: conservative groups, but the FBI was spying on senators, and
- 5:07Speaker 5: some of those senators are now fighting back. Senator Ron
- 5:11Speaker 5: Johnson saying it this way in a statement earlier, I
- 5:15Speaker 5: was just briefed by the FBI's Dan Bongino that the
- 5:19Speaker 5: FBI and the Justice Department obtained call logs from eight
- 5:24Speaker 5: US Senators, including myself. We were surveilled simply for being Republicans.
- 5:33Speaker 5: This does not surprise me, but it should shock every American.
- 5:37Speaker 5: Senator Johnson continued. What the Biden administration has done is
- 5:43Speaker 5: an outrageous abuse of power. It is blatant political persecution.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Those responsible must be held fully accountable. Now you may
- 5:54Speaker 5: ask yourself what is in this actual document? The Federal
- 5:58Speaker 5: Bureau of Investigation, on a classified document dated nine to
- 6:02Speaker 5: twenty seven of twenty twenty three, puts it in a
- 6:06Speaker 5: simple manner. The FBI special agent with the name redacted
- 6:11Speaker 5: conducted preliminary toll analysis on limited tolls records associated with
- 6:17Speaker 5: the following US Senators Mike Kelly, Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty,
- 6:23Speaker 5: Josh Holly, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Loomis,
- 6:30Speaker 5: and Senator Marsha Blackburn. You look at what I just
- 6:34Speaker 5: explained to you. And this is the weaponization literally of
- 6:39Speaker 5: our federal government right before our eyes. The other question
- 6:43Speaker 5: is this, who were the FBI's supervisory special agents and
- 6:48Speaker 5: why are their names redacted? Who approved the report and
- 6:52Speaker 5: the surveillance of the US senators is another question that
- 6:55Speaker 5: should be asked. Markings indicate that the FBI I Washington
- 7:02Speaker 5: Field Office was doing this during the Biden administration. This
- 7:08Speaker 5: also means that there was a team involved as well.
- 7:11Speaker 5: An FBISSA manages investigative teams and approves the reports that
- 7:17Speaker 5: we now are seeing. Toll analysis, as I mentioned, is
- 7:21Speaker 5: used to analyze cellular data and the call details for
- 7:25Speaker 5: federal probes. This is a highly revealing investigative tool. It
- 7:30Speaker 5: exploits all the patterns of the targets or the people
- 7:34Speaker 5: involved in the communication investigation, and it also is incredibly
- 7:40Speaker 5: invasive because it would look at the location data of
- 7:45Speaker 5: those senators that were being spied on. Now, several of
- 7:50Speaker 5: these senators decided to have a press conference that were
- 7:53Speaker 5: the targets that were spied on. Senator Grassley was the
- 7:57Speaker 5: first to speak, and I want to play it for you.
- 7:59Speaker 5: Listen to what they had to say that we can
- 8:01Speaker 5: find for.
- 8:02Speaker 6: The solicitation of these telephone records, which I think emphasizes
- 8:11Speaker 6: the political weaponization that was behind all this effort.
- 8:16Speaker 7: And we were still getting more information. But we've released
- 8:22Speaker 7: some records today and I'll let Senator Johnson take over
- 8:26Speaker 7: from here, and then each one of you colleagues can
- 8:29Speaker 7: join in when you want to whatever you want to say.
- 8:33Speaker 2: First of all, I want to thank Sander Grassley.
- 8:35Speaker 3: It is because of his relentless advocacy for whistleblowers that
- 8:40Speaker 3: a lot of this information is servicing right now. We
- 8:43Speaker 3: wouldn't know about the list of one hundred Republican entities
- 8:45Speaker 3: that were targeted by Jack Smith Arctic Frost's investigation.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I don't think we know about this as well, So
- 8:51Speaker 2: we need whistleblowers.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I think Dan Bongino and folks of the FBI they
- 8:56Speaker 3: don't know where all the records are hidden. They still don't.
- 8:59Speaker 3: They're not necessarily get hunsent cooperation. But this is outrageous
- 9:03Speaker 3: what has happened. I just want to give you a
- 9:05Speaker 3: timeline this. I think you've already got the the FBI
- 9:09Speaker 3: sheet that shows the number of members of Congress that
- 9:11Speaker 3: were targeted. Representative Kelly Sanader's Graham, Haggerty, Holly Sullivan, Tubberville, myself,
- 9:18Speaker 3: Santa Lummis, and Blackburn.
- 9:20Speaker 2: This memo was dated September of twenty twenty three.
- 9:24Speaker 3: To put it all into context, the mar Lago raid
- 9:27Speaker 3: occurred in August of twenty twenty two. Jack Smith announced
- 9:32Speaker 3: the indictments against President Trump in August of twenty twenty three,
- 9:36Speaker 3: so this is almost two months later. They're casting this net,
- 9:41Speaker 3: this fishing accident expedition against members of the Senate. In
- 9:45Speaker 3: the House, I've been investigating this with Santa Grassley. This
- 9:50Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me, but it should shock every American of
- 9:56Speaker 3: what the Biden administration has done. And by the way,
- 9:59Speaker 3: this is the first time I was targeted by the
- 10:01Speaker 3: FBI under the Obama administration. The same thing happened to
- 10:03Speaker 3: both Sender Grassley and I as part of the Foreign
- 10:06Speaker 3: Foreign Influenced Task Force. We were giving a com A
- 10:11Speaker 3: briefing to try and convince us that the Hunter Biden
- 10:14Speaker 3: laptop was no big deal, basically trying to throw us
- 10:18Speaker 3: off the track. So this is major corruption just being
- 10:22Speaker 3: revealed inside the Obama and Biden department. Justine the FBI
- 10:27Speaker 3: and I'll turn it over to guest Senator Haggerty, who's
- 10:31Speaker 3: one of the individuals. Again, none of us were subject
- 10:33Speaker 3: to targets this investigation. There's no predicate, there's no reason
- 10:37Speaker 3: for this other than efficient expedition, which again should outrage
- 10:40Speaker 3: and shock every American center.
- 10:42Speaker 8: Hagarty, thank you, Senator Johnson and Chairman Grassley, thank you
- 10:45Speaker 8: for your leadership in making this happen. This is an
- 10:48Speaker 8: extraordinary revelation that just took place this afternoon. My colleagues
- 10:52Speaker 8: and I found out all of US Republicans by the
- 10:54Speaker 8: way that we replaced under investigation by this FBI, under
- 10:58Speaker 8: the Joe Biden FBI that was led I presume by
- 11:01Speaker 8: Jack Smith and his predecessors. This isn't the first time
- 11:04Speaker 8: that it's happened, though Senator Johnson just mentioned this. I
- 11:07Speaker 8: served on the Trump transition team in Trump Tower in
- 11:10Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. Senator Blackburn was vice chair of the transition
- 11:15Speaker 8: committee then. As we're probably a dozen or more members
- 11:17Speaker 8: of Congress to think that we were all surveilled back
- 11:20Speaker 8: then by the Obama FBI. This corruption run deep, runs deep,
- 11:26Speaker 8: and it's gone on for far too long. And the
- 11:29Speaker 8: fact that it's happened here again, the fact that they
- 11:31Speaker 8: are looking at our records in twenty twenty three sitting
- 11:34Speaker 8: members of the United States Senate. Again, the only thing
- 11:36Speaker 8: that we have in common, the only thing that common
- 11:38Speaker 8: in this entire list, is that we're all Republicans. They've
- 11:41Speaker 8: decided to come after us. This is as partisan as
- 11:43Speaker 8: it gets. The FBI and the corruption's running there has
- 11:46Speaker 8: to be cleared out. Thank god, we have Cash Betel
- 11:48Speaker 8: and Dan Bongino there. This has to be addressed, it
- 11:51Speaker 8: has to be resolved, It needs to happen today.
- 11:55Speaker 1: What we know is this that the FBI under Joe
- 12:00Speaker 1: Biden and under Barack Obama, that they exercised activity that
- 12:06Speaker 1: they had no authority to exercise. And as Senator Haggardy mentioned,
- 12:12Speaker 1: we know what they did in twenty sixteen to the
- 12:16Speaker 1: Trump transition team. And now we find out that after
- 12:21Speaker 1: the mar A Lago raid, after the indictment of President Trump,
- 12:27Speaker 1: they surveil US people who support President Trump, members who
- 12:34Speaker 1: are all Republicans. But it shows you how out of
- 12:39Speaker 1: control and rotten to the core and politicized the FBI
- 12:46Speaker 1: had become, and how they had absolutely no problem at
- 12:51Speaker 1: all whatsoever with political weaponization. We appreciate the information we've
- 12:58Speaker 1: gotten today. We look forward word to further investigation on this.
- 13:02Speaker 5: You just heard from many of those that were targeted
- 13:06Speaker 5: by the FBI, as you heard Bill Haggerty say, we
- 13:10Speaker 5: are sitting members of Congress, and by the way, we
- 13:15Speaker 5: now have learned it's not just senators. There was also
- 13:17Speaker 5: a representative that had their private communications tracked by the
- 13:21Speaker 5: former Special Council Jack Smith under the Biden administration. The
- 13:26Speaker 5: FBI director Cash Bettel, also revealing files obtained by Fox
- 13:32Speaker 5: News show that Smith, in his official capacity at the
- 13:36Speaker 5: Department of Justice, as he investigated Donald Trump and the
- 13:40Speaker 5: events of January sixth, twenty twenty one, decided to not
- 13:43Speaker 5: only track the phone calls of Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn,
- 13:46Speaker 5: Ron Johnson, Josh Holly, Cynthia Loomis, Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan,
- 13:50Speaker 5: Tommy Turverville, but also we now have learned Republican Representative
- 13:55Speaker 5: Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. The alarming document revealed that Smith
- 14:01Speaker 5: and his Arctic Frost team had subpoena telephone providers for
- 14:06Speaker 5: the lawmakers records in twenty twenty three, was recently discovered
- 14:11Speaker 5: by Patel. Patel confirmed the legitimacy of the findings. In
- 14:14Speaker 5: an ex post, writing, we recently uncovered proof that phone
- 14:18Speaker 5: records of US lawmakers were seized for political purposes. That
- 14:23Speaker 5: abuse of power ends now. Under my leadership, the FBI
- 14:27Speaker 5: will deliver truth and accountability and never again be weaponized
- 14:31Speaker 5: against the American people. That abuse of power ends now.
- 14:37Speaker 5: It seems to be the mantra, unfortunately, that is needed
- 14:40Speaker 5: by this administration to make sure that these bad actors
- 14:44Speaker 5: are exposed and rooted out. Finally, you also heard one
- 14:48Speaker 5: other thing that was really important that was mentioned there.
- 14:51Speaker 5: We need listle blowers. You heard that from Senator Johnson.
- 14:56Speaker 5: He is asking for others to come forward that may
- 14:58Speaker 5: know about abusive power that was happening in the deep
- 15:01Speaker 5: State and letting them know there's a safe place to
- 15:04Speaker 5: bring it. Bongino, we also know brief the impact of
- 15:08Speaker 5: the lawmakers on Monday afternoon, and said that it is
- 15:11Speaker 5: a disgrace that he's having to sit there and show
- 15:15Speaker 5: what he has found. It is a disgrace that I
- 15:18Speaker 5: have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this that
- 15:21Speaker 5: the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications
- 15:25Speaker 5: of US lawmakers for political purposes, that era is over.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Several of the Senators who have allegedly been spot On
- 15:33Speaker 5: not only spoke at the press conference which you just heard,
- 15:37Speaker 5: but said that they are also going to be looking
- 15:39Speaker 5: into this from a congressional standpoint. And to put it
- 15:44Speaker 5: just an overall perspective for you, Senator Holly called Smith's
- 15:48Speaker 5: actions not only an abuse of power, beyond Watergate, beyond
- 15:52Speaker 5: ja Eggar Hoover, one that directly strikes he said, at
- 15:56Speaker 5: the Constitution, the separation of powers and the First Amendment.
- 16:01Speaker 5: And thank goodness that President Donald Trump has put great
- 16:04Speaker 5: men in charge of the FBI to root out this
- 16:08Speaker 5: pure evil that is inside of it.
