  Speaker 1: Waste, fraud, and abuse.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It's part of what the Trump administration said they were
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: going to expose in our government. It's part of what
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: DOGE was created to stop. Well, now we have a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: new report out from the US Government Accountability Office and
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: it is raising shocking concerns about fraud and deliberate improper

  Speaker 2: payments within the Affordable Care Act and the insurance exchanges.

  Speaker 2: The Government Accountability Office releasing the preliminary Watchdog report showing

  Speaker 2: not only that, but serious vulnerabilities in the ACA marketplace
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: subsidies and people are making billions of dollars off of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: our tax dollars with fraud. Federal auditors created fictitious identities
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to test the system. All fake applicants in twenty twenty
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: four were approved for subsidized coverage. In fact, eighteen of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the twenty fake applicants remained active into twenty twenty five.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Fake and rollies were awarded thousands of dollars in subsidies
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: per month taxpayers money automatically paid to the insurers. And

• 3:03
  Speaker 2: full final report. The lawmakers are already calling the preliminary
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: findings not just alarming, but damning. House Speaker Mike Johnson
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: saying this last night on Fox News Channel.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: The Government Accountability Office just came out with a new
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: report this past week, Laura, and it is astounding. Just
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: for example, over the last two years, they submitted twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: four two dozen totally fraudulent applications for these Unaffordable Care
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Act subsidies. Okay, twenty three out of twenty four were approved.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: There were no SOB security numbers, provided no verification for
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: incoun or even citizenship. Okay, of course, not right. This
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of dollars paid to each one of those,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to the insurance companies for people that do not exist, Okay,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: dead people ninety four million dollars. If taxpayer dollars paid
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: insurance companies for people that have been deceased, then you
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: had soci security numbers. Sixty eight thousand, so security numbers
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four alone were used for multiple persons,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: in other words, multiple people using one number to builk
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the system and to fraud it. That's the system that
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the Democrats created, that's the one they want us to subsidize.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: So when we go forward with the truth, we explain
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to the American people the reason their cost out of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: control is because they created a broken system. We have
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the solutions to fix it. That is the message and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the truth. I think that's going to prevail as you
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: go into the election year.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Obamacare sold is affordable care. It's not that at all.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Ninety four million send to insurers for people that were dead. Now,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: how much of that ninety four million is going to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: come back the American taxpayer. I think you know the answer. No,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: none of it is coming back. Sixty eight thousand security
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: numbers used by multiple people to cheat the system. Huge
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: amounts paid to insurance companies, which are the top donors
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to Democrats in Congress for countless thousands of people who
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: literally don't exist. The question is would anybody go to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: jail because of the billions and billions in fraud? The
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: answer I think you know now is no, that is
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. We are not going to get
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: our money back. So how do we now move forward?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Number One, We've got to make sure that people understand
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: just how unaffordable the Affordable Care Act is. Democrats have
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: misled hardworking Americans and claim that the Affordable Care Act
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: with lower health care premiums when their law was enacted.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: What has happened since then? Premiums have skyrocketed. Since twenty fourteen,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: premium costs on the ACA exchanges have risen nearly two
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: times faster than employer coverage. Why because they know the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: government money's there for the taking. It has also been
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: more than three times faster than inflation. How do they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: get away with it when it's government dollars tax dollars.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: There is no real metric to business or to saying
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: no again, the insurance companies know who to pay, that's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party who then protects them and their record earnings.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It is without question that the Unaffordable Care Act has
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: failed the American people. And now Republicans are having to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: deal with the fallout and trying to fix it. What
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: we know is the Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: In fact, it's already a disaster, and without the government subsidies,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: nobody could afford it. But this is where we are
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: with the Democratic Party now. Constantly they lie and they
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: try to tell you that the Affordable Care Act is working,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that it is something you should be proud of. Well,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: House Republicans have introduced a bill to lower healthcare premiums
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: for all Americans. Here's more of what Speaker Johnson had
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to say about that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: We're very close and we're delighted to present this and
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: put it through the House next week. Here's the important thing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: You said it very well, Laura. The Democrats America's healthcare
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: system fifteen years ago when they came out with that
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Obamacare proposal, the Unaffordable Care Act, it did exactly the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: opposite of every single thing they promised. Premiums have skyrocketed
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: in some categories up to seventy or ninety percent in
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the last fifteen years. They will continue to skyrocket. So
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the Democrats proposal right now is subsidize it further. They
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: want the American tax payer to give billions of dollars
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to insurance companies in a program that is just riddled
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: with fraud, waste abuse. We're not going to do that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Republicans are bringing common sense solutions. We are bringing solutions
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: forward that will actually lower the premiums for all Americans.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: It's long overdue, and we've got some great ideas to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: You listen to the fix there from the Speaker, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: he's right, there has to be a fix. When you
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: have a system that is paying huge amounts to insurance
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: companies for countless thousands of people who don't exist. It's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a problem and you may ask yourself, how to the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: insurance companies even allow this to happen. Well, if someone
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't exist, isn't that literally the best possible person that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you could ensure. In fact, you could also argue that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the insurance companies have actual incentives to take money.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: From the government for people that don't exist.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That's why this undercover investigation in rolling twenty three out
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of twenty four fictional applicants for subsidized health insurance plans
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: for the ACA exchanges should make everyone angry. I don't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, they also
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: know and they've been warned of these significant vulnerabilities and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: lacks anti fraud protections. The report actually suggests that there
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: could be widespread fraud in multiple areas of the country
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: where this is being exploited. You also have to go
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: back to the other client of the insurance company, which
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: is the best client you'll ever have ninety four million
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: sent to insurers for those who are dead. Now, if
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you're an insurance company, what is cheaper and what is
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: more guaranteed to your bottom line than premiums being paid
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: on a human being that's dead. You don't have to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: ever worry about a claim. Why would you tell the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: government or try to stop that type of fraud when
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: it's ninety four million literally directly to your bottom line.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: The GOA report finding that more than the ninety four
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: million were sent directly the insurance companies on behalf of
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: individuals that are dead. These are what you would describe
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: as fraudulent payments involved using dead peoples, so security numbers
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and other information to then get the payouts. Now House
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Budget GOP saying it is important that we note the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: issue is improper government payments and improper government payments to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: our very good friends over at the insurance companies, their
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: premiums have skyrocketed. Programs like Medicaid and even COVID nineteen
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: stimulus checks are another example of the waste, fraud, and abuse.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Every government program seems to be covered up with people
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that are taking advantage of it, people that are dead,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: people that should never get the benefits, who are getting
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the benefits, which is where the Trump administration comes in.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: What the Trump administration is now said is the government
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: is working on these solutions, such as using the Social
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Security Administration's Death Master File to identify and stop such
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: fraudulent payments. And what are Democrats saying about that? They're
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not advocating for it. They're fighting literally against it, tooth
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and nail because they want the money to keep flowing
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to their biggest donors, the healthcare insurance industry. Operation Overlord

  Speaker 2: to receive a one time auto dialed text message from
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: my Heart Media. An alarm was sounded last year during
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the presidential election, and it's one that the Trump administration
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: is trying to fix right now. It deals with the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: unaffordability of housing. And it's a sad statistic, but now
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: many Americans up until their forties can't afford the American
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: dream to a home. Much of that is caused because
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of lower end housing and the price for it has
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: skyrocketed because of the massive influx of illegal immigrants coming
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: into this country. Even during the government shutdown, the US
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary of Scott descent had this to say about housing,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the tariffs and how expensive has gotten for Americans to survive.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Jerome Powell yesterday kind of threw some cold water. It
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: seems it came across to a lot of people, including yours,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: truly throw cold water on the Asian trip by saying
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: basically that the rate cut in December wasn't a foregone conclusion.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Your reaction to Powell's decision to give those remarks yesterday.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Look, I think as endemic of a FED that has
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: been completely wrong, whether it's on tariffs or the economy.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: They started cutting rates. I think that we should be
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: in a cycle here. And I'm not sure what the
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: problem is with the voters last year. They voted for
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: the massive fifty point or fifty basis point rape cut
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: in September before the election in November, clearly very political
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: than two rate cuts after that, and the labor market
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: was in better better shape than the inflation levels were
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: the same. So you know, I'm afraid that the Board
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: may be playing politics here. And what's really discouraging is
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: we were starting to see signs of a nascent recovery
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: in the housing market. Housing market is obviously the most
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: interest rate sensitive sector of the economy. Americans have been
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: pushed out of affordability in the housing market and this
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: isn't helpful what the Fed's doing here. And when I look,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: rents are down and that's one of the biggest components
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: of inflation. So it's like they want to have a
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: nation of renters and not owners.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's almost like they don't want them to buy a home.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That really does seem to be the plan of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party and it's incredibly frustrating. But the good news
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: is the policies of this administration are bringing news to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: many Americans that have been forced into renting. The Treasury
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Secretary announcing today that mass deportations, including self deportations in
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the millions now, are bringing rents down for working class Americans.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Scott Besson saying President Trump's mass deportation agenda
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: is doing exactly what he said it was going to do.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It was going to bring down the costs for working
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: in lower and middle class Americans. Last month, for example,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and this is the data that matters, apartment rents finally
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: fell one point one percent compared to the same time
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: last year, and they have dropped five point two percent
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: compared to the same period in twenty twenty two, when
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: rents had peaked in this country. During an interview on
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Fox Business Channel, Treasury Secretary credit the deportations for helping
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: drive down rents and pointing to a recent study by
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania which found
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a deep correlation between immigration and housing costs.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Quote, rents are down.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: You know the story that the Biden administration doesn't want
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to talk about the mass, unfettered immigration that pushed up rents,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: especially for working Americans. Here's more of what he had
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: to say on Fox Business Channel with Maria Bartiromo.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: How do you explain this new stress that we're talking
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: about that keeps showing up in all the holes that
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: people are stressed about housing, stressed about the cost of food.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: What is the administration's plan to rain in the cost
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: of food and housing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Well, Maria, people should be stressed because it's Biden inflation.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: As I said, it was worst inflation in fifty years.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: And stratigis the brokerage firm who you know well had
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: something Jason Trinner had something called the common Man Index,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: which was working Americans. So the accumulated CPI during the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Biden years called it twenty one twenty two percent. For
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: working Americans it was thirty five. And that thirty five
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: was just a wipeout because those groceries, insurance, rent and
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: the auto and we are bringing that down. So in energy,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: which leads everything is coming down. Energy goes into grocery prices.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: So affordability has two components. So just like with the deficit,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: with the deficit, there are two parts to it. They're
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: constrained spending and then upping revenues, which is what we're doing,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: which is why we had this several hundred billion dollar
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: contraction with affordability. I suspect that we are going to
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: see a substantial drop in inflation the first six months
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: and next year. Rents are down. The story that the
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Biden administration doesn't want to talk about the mass unfettered immigration.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: They have pushed up rents, especially for working Americans. There's
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: a recent study out from Wharton School that shows every
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: one percent increase in population, rents one up one percent.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: So President Trump, by the enforcing the border sending home
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: more than two million illegals rents. We're now seeing D
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: and C rents coming down substantially. I think that that
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: will continue this for the rest of the year. We
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: brought interest rates down, so we've seen more mortgage rates down,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: and I think everything else will follow that.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Now the Treasury Secretary isn't the only one talking about
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: exactly the problem with affordability.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: The Vice President JD.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Vance hitting the road talking about this exact issue, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: what he halso I had to say is about how
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: many young people are now being left behind because the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Biden administration policies, and they're stopping it now.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: I know that there are a lot of people out
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: there Sean who are saying things are expensive, and we
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: have to remember they're expensive because we inherited this terrible
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: inflation crisis from the Biden administration. But you've already seen
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: signs that things are getting better. The price of eggs
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: has gone way down, the price of energy has gone
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: way down, the price of gasoline has gone way down.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: And as we know, when the price of energy goes down,
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: that starts to filter out into the entire economy. But
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: that also takes a little bit of time. There's another
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: component of this Sewan, which to me is maybe the
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: most important because I care so much about our young
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: people being able to afford a good life. A lot
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: of young people are saying housing is way too expensive.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: Why is that?
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Because we flooded the country with thirty million illegal immigrants
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: who were taking houses that ought by right go to
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: American citizens. And at the same time, we weren't building
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: enough new houses to begin with, even.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: For the population that we had. So what we're doing
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: is trying to make it easier to build houses.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: Trying to make it easier to build factories and things
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: So that people have good jobs.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: We're also getting all of those illegal aliens out of
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: our country, and you're already seeing it start to pay
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: some dividends.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You're already seeing it start to pay some dividends. Which
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: brings me to jd Vance taking a very blunt job
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: at President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party laying out
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration's plan for the economy in twenty twenty six.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: If you go back to the four years of the
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: Biden administration, why did housing get so expensive double in
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: price during the Biden administration, It's because Joe Biden let
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: in twenty million illegal immigrants who took homes that ought
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: by right go to American citizens and to the people
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: of this great state. We talk about why did healthcare
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: get so unaffordable during the Biden administration, It's because Joe
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: Biden allowed prescription drug companies to take advantage of this country.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So there it is jd Vance saying housing got expensive. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: double the price during the Biden administration. Joe Biden let
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: in twenty million illegal immigrants, you were competing with them
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: for housing. Now we find out about other fraud with
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act, money going to Somalia, going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: terrace in states where there's waste, fraud, and abuse. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: this is exactly why he was out there today making
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it clear that if you're an illegal immigrant, we're coming
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: for you, and American citizens are going to be put
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: back at the front of the line. New files are
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: revealing this morning that the Department of Justice and the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: FBI did not have cause to raid mar A Lago.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: That coming now.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: From shocking information that has been released by Senator Chuck Grassley.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: The newly released emails and records that were made public
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: show that FBI officials internally in writing where questioned whether
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: they had probable causes seek a search warrant for mar Lago.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: In August of twenty twenty two, emails state that the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: FBI's own Washington Field office did not believe the evidence
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: established probable cause for a raid at that time. Despite
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: these written doubts, in writing, the Department of Justice leadership
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: said screw it, We're going to move forward anyway and
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: obtained a warrant from a federal magistrate judge. One senior
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: FBI agent reportedly said the effort to build probable cause
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: was time consuming, quote unquote, and not productive without additional evidence.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Grassly characterize the disclosures as a miscarriage of justice and
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: claim the Biden DOJ push forward despite internal resistance based
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: on the facts. Now, these internal emails were not previously public,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: and they contradict past public assertions about the confidence levels
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: before the raid on the former president's home. It's important
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to note that the FBI's public stance was that a
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: judge found probable cause even though they didn't believe it
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: was there, and authorize the warrant. That is something democrats
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: are pointing to right now to try to save themselves. Now,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: let me also remind you about what happened during that
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: raid when there's no evidence, What do you have to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: do when you're raiding someone tome if you want to
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: go after them? And why did they raid? We all
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: know the reason why the FBI raided the DOJ. They
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: were trying to make sure that Donald Trump never made
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: it back to the White House. Let me remind you
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: what now, CIA Director John Radcliffe had to say about
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: this quite some time ago after the raid happened.
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so that famous photograph.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: What we have now learned and the government has had
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Jacksmith and his prosecutors have had to admit that that
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: was staged. And those top secret classified sheets that all
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: the public songs said, Oh my god, look at those
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: top secret documents. Those were placed there by the FBI.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: And what Jacksmith admitted in court this week was that,
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: in his word, they mishandled the classified documents and misrepresented
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: those to the court. Maria, that's a kind way of saying,
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: we tampered with the evidence. Then we lied to the
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: court about it, and they got caught when President Trump's
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: lawyers and the other co defendants raised this issue and said, look,
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: the documents here don't match up. The document that were
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: presented to us don't match the digitally scanned records of
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: when they were taken from mar A Lago, and jack
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: Smith not only did they tamper with that and lie
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: to the court about it, but he's now admitted to
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: the court that he doesn't know how that happened. He's
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: only offered a number of possible explanations for how that
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: could have happened. So he's absolutely blown the chain of custody.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: And again he has a prosecutor lead prosecutor in this case,
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Jay Bratt, who met with White House counsel and a
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: representative of the National Archives in several times in the
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: weeks before Jack Smith was even appointed. This reeks of
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: crossfire hurricane when the Biden when the Obama Biden administration
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: fabricated evidence before the Piza Court, lied to the court
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: about it to pursue Donald Trump, and now we're seeing
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: it again in this classified documents case.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: So not only was this thing crooked from the beginning
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: and fabricated out of thin air, we also now know
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that those men and women at the FBI and the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: DOJ that were on the ground said there is no
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: thing there, there's no probable cause, and so that's where
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the politics and the corruption of the Biden regime comes in.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Let me remind you of what the Attorney General Merrick
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Garland had to say as he went on TV before
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the election, of course, delivering his remarks on the search
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: warrant executed at President Trump's mar Lago resident And what
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: did he say? And again put this in perspective, it's
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: now coming out the FBI warned the Biden administration that
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: there was not probable cause to raid mar Lago and
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: they rated President Trump anyway. So who made that decision, Well,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: we know exactly who it was. It was Merrick Garland.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: How do we know it because he said it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First,
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: in this matter. The department does not take such a
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: decision lately.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Which brings us back to the issue of accountability. If
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you look at the FBI doubting problem cause for Malago raid,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: then push forward because the man in charge, Merrick Garland,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: says I'm telling you you're going to do it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I'm personally authorizing it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And then you have emails showing that this is a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: massive massive, massive problem and they're telling you don't do it,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: then how is there not accountability? And let's just talk
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit more about accountability. We're now getting reporting
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: from Fox News Digital that they're saying the FBI not
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: only do they not believe they had problem cause to
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: raid President Donald Trump's Marlago home in twenty twenty two,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but they move forward amid pressure directly from the Biden
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Justice Department, with an official saying he didn't give a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: damn quote unquote about the optics of the serch. Now
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: this is all coming from these newly declassified documents. Fox
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: News Digital revealed emails between the FBI and the Justice
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Department officials in the months leading up to the August
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two raid of the president home, with FBI
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: officials expressing grave concerns about a lack of probable cause
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: to execute the sirch horrant on then front runner President
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his residence in Palm Beach. Quote very
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: little has been developed related to who might be culpable
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: for mishandling the documents, and FBI officials serving as an
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: assistant Special Agent in charge wrote to another FBI official
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: from the interviews the who has gathered information suggesting that
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: there may be additional boxes, presumably of the same type.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: As we're sent back to NAR in January at mar Lago,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: who has been drafting a search warrant affidavit related to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: these potential boxes. But as some concerns that the information
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: is single source, has not been corroborated and may be dated,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the official continues, again, this is all in writing. Dj
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: ces opines, however, that the sws meet the problem cause standard.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Then it says this even as we continue down the
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: path towards a search warrant WFO believes that a reasonable
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: conversation with the former president attorney they're talking about Donald Trump,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: stating that the FBI and the DOJ are reading a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: search warrant and have developed information that there are more
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: documents tomorrow ago ought.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Not to be discounted.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: The official road in other words, are saying, don't do this,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: don't go rate it. Talk to his lawyers. We can
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: probably make all this go away. Then it says in
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: this document this at a minimum, even and if the
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: former president's attorney is correct, and the documents were all
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: declassified or believed to be disclassified, it can be reasonably
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: argued that the documents remain sensitive and should be properly
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: secured until the matter of classification is sorted out.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: The official continued.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: This conversation could easily be accomplished at the same time
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: that the WHO presses forward with the investigation and continues
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: building out a search warrant. In other words, Hey, you
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: guys are reacting. You don't want to go raid mar Lago.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: There's not probable cause. I'm telling you that this call
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: can be done through lawyers. This is a mistake. I'm
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: telling you we don't have what we need to go
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: in raid mar Lago. And now we understand going back
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: to Radcliffe, why they were placing these folders out in
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: the floor and taking pictures.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It was all a setup. We know that. Now now
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: here's something else is interesting.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Weeks later, an FBI agent writes an email stating this quote,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: we haven't generated any new facts, but keep being given
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: draft after draft after draft. In other words, you're going
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to raid this thing. I don't care what you found. Then,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the FBI agent writes this, absent a witness coming forward
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: with recent information about classified documents on site, at what
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: point is it fair to.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Table this question? Mark the agent rights.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: It is time consuming for the team and not productive
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: if there are no new facts supporting probable cause. Another
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: email revealed that the FBI's Washington Field office did not believe,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: as has articulated to the DOJ and the CS that
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: we have established probable cause for the search warrant for
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: classified records at mar Lago.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Then there's another line. This is what it says.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Quote the DOJ is a pine that they do not
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: have probable cause, requesting a wide scope including residents office
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: storage space. Another agent wrote, the FBI believe that a
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: raid would be counterproductive their words in writing, and suggested alternatives,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: less intrusive and likelier quicker options for resolution to reclaim
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: any potential classified records. The process move forward regardless of
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: all of these concerns that were put in writing. There's
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: even another email on August fourth of twenty twenty two,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: revealed the plan for the execution of the warrant, saying this,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the FBI intends for the execution of the warrant to
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: be handled in a professional, low key manner and to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: be mindful of the optics of the search and agent rights.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: The agent quotes then Deputy Assistant Attorney General in a meeting, saying, quote,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: since we heard mister Tuskas say yesterday in the call
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: that he quote frankly doesn't give a damn about the optics,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: and mister Brad has already built a antagonistic relationship with
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Trump attorneys, I think it is more than fair to
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: say that the DOJ contact with Trump attorneys just prior
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: to the execution of the warrant will not go well.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: DOJ said as much yesterday. The agent writes, it also
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: thinks that it is fair to say that if FBI calls,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: having in mind officers safety to the optics of the search,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and the desire to conduct the search in a professional
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and low key manner, there is a far better chance
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that the execution will go more smoothly and we may
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: actually gain some measure of cooperation which could go some
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: way to resolving the mishandling of classified records and the
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: investigation that is being conducted. The agent added, I understand
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: that this request may not go well at DOJ. However,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: it is the FBI serving and executing the search, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: it will be our personnel who will have to deal
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: with the reaction to that first contact. So what happened
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: the FBI rated mar Lago execute the sirch Horns as
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: part of the investigation into alleged improper retention of classified
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: records that they and writing said, there's no probable cause
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: for this, and why do they do it? For one reason,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: because the Biden administration weaponized the government to try to
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: take out their political opponent and put in jail the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: sitting president now of the United States of America, a
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: guy by the name of Donald Trump. Don't forget to
