Jack Smith Faces Federal Watchdog Investigation plus Migrant Arrests Surge Despite Low Apprehensions · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All Right, we got some big news to start off with,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and that is this The US Office of Special Counsel
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: investigating the ex Trump prosecutor Jack Smith is now happening,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is what we're being told. The US Office of Special
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Council has open an investigation officially into the former Special
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Counsel Jack Smith, who may have quote unlawfully targeted President
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I want you to listen to how part
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of this news is broken at Fox News Channel.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: All right, moving on to this now, former Trump prosecutor
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Jack Smith is now under investigation for potentially violating the
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Hatch Act, which was stricts government employees from engaging in
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: political activities. Chilly Panter joins US Now with the details.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Hey Channeling, Hey, good morning guys. So the Office of
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Special Counsel confirming is open that investigation against former Special
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Council Jack Smith. This after our i's SEW Senator Tom
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Cotton sent this letter saying, quote, I write requesting the
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Office of Special Counsel to investigate whether Jack Smith, special
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Council for Attorney General Merrick Garland, unlawfully took political actions
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to influence the twenty twenty four election to harm then
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: candidate President Donald Trump. So while the specific scope of
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: this investigation is not clear, it is expected the probe
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: we'll look into whether Smith violated the Hatch Act during
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: his criminal investigation into President Trump's handling of classified documents
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and alleged efforts to subvert the twenty twenty election. Trump
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: pleted not guilty in both of those cases that were
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: ultimately dismissed following the twenty twenty four election. Earlier this week,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Senator Cotton pointed to how he believed Smith used his
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: DOJ roll to quote help Kamala and hurt Trump, claiming
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Special Counsel Smith rushed the trial for President Trump to
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: begin just two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, that Smith
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: tried to go right to the Supreme Court to get
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: quick ruling before the election, and that Smith filed a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: massive brief that included secret grand jury testimony just within
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: sixty days of the election, which could also violate a
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: separate Justice Department rule that goes beyond the Hatch Act.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: So it's all important to note that this is an investigation,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: but it's not a criminal investigation. That the office there
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: does have authority though to impose things like fines and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: other sanctions if they do ultimately find that he violated.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The hatchac Guys, let's go into even more of what
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: this means. The OSC has Smith under a microscope, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this I've been told by many on Capitol Hill is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the beginning of what could be other possible issues for him.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I want to be clear about that he's under the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: microscope regarding the possibility that not only won, he violated
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the Hatch Act, which says, again government workers are not
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: allowed to take part in certain political activities. All right, Now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it received confirmation the probe Fox did there from the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: office and that Smith is not being quote criminally investigated.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Now, let's be clear. I want you to understand.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: This could be the beginning of opening up who knows
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: what you can read between the lines there. The OSC
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is a government watchdog that operates independently. Number one is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a federal investigative and prosecutal office. In July, Tom Cotton
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: asked its members to investigate whether Jack Smith, who again
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: was a special counsel for the former Attorney General Merrick Garland,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: if he engaged in unlawful political activities to quote influence.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: All right, think about the timeline here.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The twenty twenty four presidential election and targeted Trump in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: doing so to influence the twenty twenty four election. Now,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: President Trump, of course, said you know this about Joe
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Biden in Jack Smith and every Democrat quote who weaponized
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: law against him. President Trump's astounding victory doesn't excuse Smith
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of responsibility, the Senator said, for his unlawful election interference.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I therefore asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: whether Jack Smith or quote any members of his team
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: unlawfully acted for political purposes. So Number one, is it
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: going to be difficult for the media to cover this. Yes,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And that's why we're covering it right now, because you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: need to know what's happening. Democrats are gonna dismiss this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They're gonna say this is not a big deal. They're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: gonna say this is nothing, that this is just a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: political hit job on Jack Smith, who quote did his job. Now,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith oversaw a pair, okay, not one, but two
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of the criminal investigations into Donald Trump while the former
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: president Joe Biden was still in office.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: All Right. The outlet of the New York Times.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Or excuse me, the New York Post, reporting this on Friday,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They said, One of the investigations, as you may recall,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was quote into trump handling of classified documents.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Then the other was as to whether.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: His actions on January sixth, twenty twenty one, or an
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election. Both cases, as
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know, have been dismissed. Now, an email that has
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: come forward reviewed by the New York Posts also states
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that the Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: government and ployees from engaging in political activities, has begun
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: reviewing the former Special Council for the United States Department
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of Justice. Now, the email was written by senior counsel
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: at the OSC. The article states, now let's go back
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to Smith for a second. Smith, you may have forgotten,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: resigned from the US Department of Justice after he failed
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to bring the case against Trump to trial because welly
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: knew it was going to get dismissed, and he knew
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it was crap, and they lost, and so he wanted out.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The article also says Smith's resignation comes to his office
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: has engaged quote in last minute legal wranglings to release
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: its work against Trump before President Joe Biden left office.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: If you go back and look at the record.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Then he resigned on a Saturday, just nine days before
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Trump's inauguration, after which Smith would have been fired.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: We're all sure of that now.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The following month, Trump suspended the security clearances of law
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: firm members who helped Jack Smith, and that was something
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that people are like, Okay.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Pay attention now.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The memo, by the way, addressed to all relevant agencies
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and departments, halted any security crences of Covington and Berling.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: That's a law firm. It's members, partners.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And employees who helped Jack Smith during his time in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the role of Special Council quote penning a review and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: determination of their roles and responsibilities if any, in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: weaponization of the judicial process, per that memo.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So let me be clear.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The takeaway from this this could be the beginning of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: something very, very big, and it's going to start with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the man who went after and weaponized our government against
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Jack Smith. So get ready, we're going to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: keep covering this. It's very big, all right. I want
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to get to another important issue. It's a big one
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and it's one that so many Americans have, especially the media,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: have really really really overlooked it completely. That's part of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: What I like to do here is bring you different
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: information that others are refusing to cover, and this one
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is one that is really interesting because the number of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: arrests of migrant gotaways continuing now into Texas despite record
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: low apprehensions at the border. The media doesn't want you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to know how many bad own brais we have right
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: now in this country. The Texas Department of Public Safety troopers,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the National guardsmen, and the Border patrol agents are continuing
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to arrest migrants who illegally cross the border between the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: ports of entry and made their way into the US interior.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration has just released more info. Recent arrests
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: include three Chinese nationals who got away from the border
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: after crossing near Mission Texas. What we now know is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that this was an operation that Texas DPS did. They
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: posted video to social media showing the continuing activities of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the troopers, the garment and Border patrol agents, who despite
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: these record low apprehensions of the border said now their
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: job is to find migrants being smuggled into the interior
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of Texas after not being apprehended at the border. Law
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: enforcement teams, they say are real problems, are facing real
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: problems because they're going after and continue to seize drugs
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that are being smuggled into Texas. You have human smuggling
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: arrests that are are still happening each and every day.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You have canine teams now that are actually being able
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to do their jobs by tracking and assisting US Port
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Patrol in the tracking of these drugs. We're seeing drug seizures,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: they said, in Brownsville, Texas, stolen vehicles that are being
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: used by the cartels, and others that are that are
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: grabbed in Laredo, Texas, for example. This is just some
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of what is happening at the border. We also know
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this past week that smugglers were sentenced to ten years
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in prison. You've got pursuits to ranch tracks to all
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: these missions that are happening, and they're wanting people to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: understand what's going on here now. One example that was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: reported was on July the thirty first. One of the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: videos they put out show Border Patrol mounted patrolled teams
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: tracking migrants in du Val County, Texas.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The team tracked the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Illegal alien to attempt to escape by using thick brushes cover.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: That's where the Texas DPSK nine team managed to apprehend
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the two legal aliens and turn them over to border
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: patrol agents.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Now, they weren't able to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Do this type of work before because they were babysitting
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants at the border under the Biden administration. Earlier
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, for example, they reported the arrests of these
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: three Chinese nationals that were apprehended near Mission, Texas after
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: clearing the border without encountering a border patrol agent. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this is part of the problem. Now the troopers say,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we're getting to do our jobs. Now they were to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: stop the human smuggling attempts. Last week, also in de
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Mint County, Texas, they pulled over a Florida driver. The
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: troopers found two Mexican nationals illegally present in the US,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: hiding in the rear cargo area of the suv. Again,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: another example of the bad own braids that we're talking about. One,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for example, it was reported the arrest of ten illegal
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: aliens ineer Mission. These included four migrants from Uzbekistan. Now
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: why does that matter, Well, it's a hotbed for terrorism.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's one of the big concerns here is that how
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: many people have come in this country illegally that are
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: terrorists and wanting to do things and do real harm
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: inside the United States of America. Now, in June, to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: put this in perspective of where we are now because
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of a strong border security from this President Donald Trump,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: border patrol agents apprehended three thousand, nine hundred and ninety
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: five migrants who illegally crossed the border into five Texas
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: based sectors. Let me just explain to you the difference
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: between June of this year and June of twenty twenty four,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: when Joe Biden was like, everybody, come in, we have
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: an open border. They caught thirty thousand, seven hundred and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: sixty six compared to three nine hundred and ninety five
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: one year. Part what changed. A president that is enforcing
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the law. The Southwest land border encounters that were reported
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and published by the US Customs and Border Protection said,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: this is now going back to a point that we
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: can manage and protect the border compared to what it
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: was now.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: If you do the math on that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: This represents a drop of now more than eighty seven
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: percent year over year. The June apprehension numbers are also
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: down from five four hundred and ninety one migrants apprehended
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in May. So this is also sending a message around
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the world you probably don't want to try because you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: gonna get caught. And it's not an open border that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: we had under the radicals in the Biden regime.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Border apprehensions in the.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Texas based sectors in June accounted for approximately sixty six
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: percent of all migrants apprehended along the southern border with Mexico.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Nearly four thousand, six hundred migrants were apprehended in all
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: nine border patrol sectors along the southwest.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Border in July.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: That marks she had another historic low for the Trump administration.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So Christy Nome put it out this way, and she
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: said in her tweet where she was going through all
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: these numbers and again, why is the media not telling
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you how safe the border has become?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Because they don't want you to know this.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, history made again, is how Christy Nome put it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: The numbers don't lie. This is the most secure of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the border has ever been. President Donald Trump didn't just
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: manage the crisis. He obliterated it. No more excuses, Christy
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Nome said, no more releases. We put the cartels on
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: defense and taken our border back. She then said in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: July the lowest nationwide encounter number ever twenty four thousand,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty. That isound two point four percent
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: from June. But here's the number that you're going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: care about. It's ninety percent lower than the monthly average
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: under the last administration. The lowest border patrol apprehensions nationwide
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: also six thousand, one hundred and seventy seven. That shattered,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: by the way, June's all time low as well. She
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: went on to say, this the lowest Southwest border apprehensions
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: we've ever seen, four thousand, five hundred ninety eight, nearly
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: five hundred fewer than the daily average under the last administration,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: which averaged five thousand, one hundred and ten apprehensions per
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: day from February of twenty twenty one to December of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. We also have the lowest daily apprehension average,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: just one hundred and forty eight per day. That's lower
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: than the average rate of one hundred and fifty two
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: apprehensions every two hours under the Biden administration last July alone.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So so we're doing one hundred and forty eight a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: day in apprehensions. They were doing one hundred and fifty
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: two every two hours. Every hour of the day twenty
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: four to seven last July, And then she finally says,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: this the lowest single day apprehensions in history eighty eight
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: at the Southwest border, one hundred and sixteen nationwide on
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: July the twentieth.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Now look at the calendar right now and where we are.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: What you're hearing and what we're seeing from border patrol
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: agents and from the Trump administration is that the word.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Is getting out.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Do you really want to go into incredible debt to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: try to come to America to immediately get caught and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: then be sent home? Do you want to pay these
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: smugglers to get you in and you're going to get caught?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You look at the lowest single day apprehension in history,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: eighty eighth the Southwest border and one hundred and sixteen
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: nation wide and July twentieth. Now I say that because
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you may say, well, okay, hold on, maybe it was
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a bad weather day. No it wasn't. It was actually
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a great weather day. Why nay on July twentieth, did
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you have these numbers drop that much? Because that's the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: last day we have reported and public access to what
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is doing is he's going after and using
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: ice and they're going after the illegal immigrants everywhere they are,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: including sanctuary cities. Word is getting back to the smugglers
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and the human traffickers and those that were paying them
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that it may not be worth you paying them because
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you're probably not going to make it. And that is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how Trump is making America safe again. I have another
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: big story that you probably haven't heard about, and it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: one that you should have heard about immediately. If you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: have news sites on your phone, they give you big
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: news alerts.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: This should have been one.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: If you turned on any of the shows, especially on
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: cable news, you should have heard.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: What I'm about to tell you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: A whistleblower has now come forward revealing how they were
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: threatened that if they didn't go along with the Obama
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: directed Russia hoax, that there would an essence be held
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: a pay. A whistleblower is now sharing how quote they
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: we don't know how many, that is, were threatened by
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a supervisor to go along with the Obama directed Russia
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: quote intelligent assessment hoax despite knowing it was not credible
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and it was not quote accurate. That is what the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbert, has revealed Gabbard
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: shared the newly released first hand account from the whistleblower
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: who refused to play along with a hoax, detailing what
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: happened in the crafting of the January twenty seventeen Intelligence
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Community Assessment the ICA, their years long effort to expose
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the manufacturing of intelligence carried out at the highest levels
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of government, and how they.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Were quote repeatedly ignored.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard putting it out this way, saying, quote whistleblower
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: revealing how they were threatened by a supervisor to go
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: along with the Obama the Obama directed Russia hoak's intelligence assessment,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: even though they knew it was not credible or accurate.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: The whistleblower refused.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, we released the whistleblower's first hand account of what
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: happened the crafting of the January twenty seventeen ICA, their
• 18:35

  Speaker 1: That comes from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Russia hoax whistleblower threatened multiple attempts to report wrongdoing, work
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: ignored for six years. A senior intelligence officials battled political
• 19:26

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: The Director of National Intelligence released new documents which provide
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a first hand account of the intelligence community and the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: whistleblower's relentless effort to expose the manipulation manufacturing of the intelligence.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: This release provides the whistleblower's first hand accounts of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: work carried out in the months leading up to the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: November twenty sixteen election, the concerns they raised about the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: use of quote discredited information as then d and I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Clapper and the Central Intelligence Agency CA Director Brennan worked
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to craft the January twenty seventeen Intelligence Community Assessment the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: ICA at President Barack Obama's request, and how a direct
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: supervisor attempted to pressure the whistleblower to endorse the January
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: seventeen ICA's key findings about the Russian government's alleged support
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: for then candidate Donald Trump. Thank you to the brave
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: intelligence community whistleblower who courageously came forward to expose the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: truth about one of the biggest and most impactful scandals
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: in our nation's history. Gabbert says, the whistleblower, as I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, put their own well being on the line.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Now Here are the highlights.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: That they put out in the press release of the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: whistleblower's first hand account, Statements from the whistleblowers supervisor pressuring
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the whistleblower to accept the contrived January seventeen ICA findings
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: despite express concerns about the discredited information being used, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to support those findings, an action that the wistleblower supervisor
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: said would be necessary for the whistleblower to receive a promotion.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: So this is what we're hearing is you want to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: move up in the intelligence community, you have to help
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: us lie to the American people to say that Donald
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Trump is compromised by Russia. And if you do it,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: you'll receive a promotion. If you don't, there will be
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: hell to pay. The whistleblower's refusal to accept and concur
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: with the January seventeen I see a finding stated quote
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I could not concur in good conscience based on information
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: available that Russia preferred, then can it Trump? In twenty sixteen,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the whistleblower's concerns about the flawed intelligence practices, namely selectively
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: using open source references to Russian media as quote evident
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: for the Russian government support of Trump, while ignoring foreign
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: media from other nations, including NATO allies, that denigrated Trump
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and actually supported Hillary Clinton. The whistleblowers repeated attempts to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: report concerns about the false information that was deliberately used
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in January twenty seventeen ICA to multiple government officials, including
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the ICA Inspector General. The whistleblowers records also show how
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the former D and I director James Clapper and other
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: senior Obama administration officials privately denounced the Steel dalsier so
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: in private.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: They were saying it's crap.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: They knew it was crap because created by Hillary Clinton's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: campaign and the Democrat National Convention Committee. They knew they
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: paid for it. They knew it was user generated, the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: FBI had already classified as user generated, and even offered
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a million dollars of anything in the dalsier could be confirmed.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And guess what, Michael still never got the check because
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it couldn't do it. They went on to say, despite
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: simultaneously ensuring that the January twenty seventeen ICA report include
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the information that the officials had already privately denounced. So
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: they said, Hey, we know this is crap, but we
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: wanted in there. We know it's a lie, but we
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: wanted in there because we want to hurt Donald Trump,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: who's now the President of the United States of America.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The whistleblower previously reported these concerns and more than a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: dozen government officials, including the IC, the IG Special Council, Durham,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a US Senator, and other official whistlebler channels over the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: last six years. D and I's Gabbert's whistleblower protections enabled
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: her to investigate and confirm the allegations revealing the truth
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: about the Obama led creation of the manufactured Intelligence Assessment,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: which knowingly used false and discredited information to sell a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: lot to the American people. The document would be used
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: as the foundation for multiple investigations and legal actions against
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: President Trump and other senior officials. The ICY whistleblowers have
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: historically faced deliberate hurdles to reporting and exposing wrongdoing. Political pressure,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: threats of or actual acts of retaliation, bureaucratic obstacles, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the unnecessary intentional overclassification of intelligence have too often hindered
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: public disclosure, accountability, and reform. In her first hand office,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the release says, the D and I Gabbered made clear
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that every.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Individual in the Intelligence Committee.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Understand their rights as potential whistleblowers, which includes having legal
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: having excuse me access to legal protected channels to report wrongdoing.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: To support this goal, D and I Gabbert establish a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: direct line for ICY staff to report claims. Additionally, in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: line with President Trump's commitment to maximize transparency, DN I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Gabbard has fostered a supportive environment for whistleblowers by promising
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to protect their information and encouraging all IC officials, regardless
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of affiliation, to come forward and join efforts to restore
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: trust and accountability. Now you can read the whistleblowers full accounting.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I will put it up on x you can follow
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: me there. Ben ferguson podcasts, and you can have the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: entire thing there. But what you need to understand from
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: this is what Tulsi Gabbert is clearly saying is that
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: she's now looking into, investigating and understanding just how corrupt
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the deep state was. Now the supervisor, we're also being
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: told not only pressure the whistleblower to accept the lie
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: In January twenty seventeen, I says finding, but also admitted
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that there was discredit information used to support the findings
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and said concurring with the false information would be necessary
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to receive a promotion.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: The document continues, We.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Then find out the whistleblower refuse accept the findings, sitting
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I could not concur in good conscience based on the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: information available that Russia preferred, then can it Donald Trump?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: In sixteen, the whistle blower also cited the selective use
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of open source references to Russian media's evidence for the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Russian government support for Trump as part of the faut
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: intelligence practices. So you combined everything that I just put
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in there, and now you understand just how corrupt all
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of this was. You had these repeated attempts that were
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: made by the wistleblower to report the false information that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: was used, Okay, and they did it over and over
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and over again.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: They used it to go after Donald Trump. They used
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: it to impeach Donald Trump. The fake intelligence assessment.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Was deliberately used to try to overthrow the will of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the election of Donald Trump, the will of the people.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Never forget that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I hope you share this, by the way, everywhere, Share
• 27:15
