• 1:04
  Speaker 4: an all time new high of over four thousand dollars
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: an ounce. Now you may be asking yourself this question,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: is it the wrong time to invest in gold or
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: is it going to keep going up and off? Well,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: there's also another question, what about silver, which has actually

  Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Story number one, this first story.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: We're going to be talking about, is one that I
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: hope you will take and you'll share it on social
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: media wherever you can, because it is a story that's
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: important and then the media is deliberately looking the other
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: way to not cover it. Is an important story because
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: it's about the abuse of power and holding those that
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: abuse their power to accountability. The FBI Director Cashpittel has
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: fired agents involved in tracking the phone calls of eight
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Republican centers and a congressman as part of the former
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Special counsel Jack Smiths investigation a sham investigation and to
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: President Donald J. Trump communication records belonging to GOP. Senators
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Loomis,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, and represented Mike Kelly.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: We know now for a fact, we're handed over to
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Smith's Arctic Frost team after they subpoened major phone companies
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. The fact was unknown to the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: public until this week when Cashperttel, the FBI director, saying
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: he discovered the files hidden in a lock box that
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: was placed in a vault in a cyber place where
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: no one can see or search these files.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: The FBI director saying, this.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It in a lock box, put that lock box in
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a vault, and then put that vault in a cyber
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: place where no one can see or search these files.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: They're called a restricted access and prohibited access. Restricted access
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: means some people get to seed. Prohibited access you put
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it in there when you want to hide it from
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the world, and that takes the authorization of the Attorney
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: General and the director of the FBI. So not only
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in there, and when I got in as the FBI director,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: from my experience as Russia Gate, I knew where to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: look and what rooms to open and what doors to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: kick down. And that's what we did. We found this
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: information to expose to politicization by Jacksmith and the prior
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Department of Justice. I mean, just think about it. Eight
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: city United States senators phone records were gathered in subpoena
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: through the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholed.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It was the hope that no one would find it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So we're just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: We are finding every single person involved. We will not
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: leave a single room locked. We will go in through
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all the prohibited access requirements and we will find the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: material and show the American public like we have done
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in this FBI more transformative and transparent than any in
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the US history, to bring accountability of the American people.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And we were working with our partners in Congress, who
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: should be furious at the prior administration's leadership and weaponization
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in singular politicization of law enforcement. The American public sees
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: what we're doing Sean with the statue just right off
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in the beginning. They see what we're doing here to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: unseal the vault and show the world how the deep
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: state actually operated.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Casp Hotel, making it clear this is the beginning, not
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: the end. And if you go back and you actually
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: look at what he said quote you put it in
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: there and when you want to hide it from the world,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: and that takes the authorization of the Attorney General and
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: the director of the FBI. So not only did they
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and when I got to in as the FBI director,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: from my experience as Russia Gate, I knew where to
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: look and what rooms to open and what doors to
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: knock down.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And that is what we did.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: So if you want to know why the President of
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the United States of America decided to pick Caspertel to
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: do this job.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It is exactly for this reason.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: And it goes back to what else he had to say, saying, quote,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: we found this information to expose the politicalization by Jack
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Smith members, this guy in charge of Special Council weaponizing
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: our government to go after Donald Trump and the prior
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Department of Justice.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He added before.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Revealing that he fired the agents who facilitated the secret
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: investigations into sitting US lawmakers. Now Holly by the Way Center. Holly,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: one of the senators who had his phone calls tracked
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: by the Biden administration's DOJ, called Smith's subpoena an abuse
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of power beyond Watergate, beyond Jaeger Hoover, one that directly
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: strikes at the Constitution, the separations of power and the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: First Amendment. Holly also said it's time for there to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: be a special counsel, saying, quote, we need a full
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: investigation of all involved, who knew about it, who ordered it,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: and who approved it. Anyone everyone who violated the law
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: must be prosecuted. The way to save the country is
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: to restore the rule of law, the senator said. Now,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the US Office a Special Counsel, the OSC, in August
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: opened an investigation into Jack Smith, who may have unlawfully
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: targeted President Trump, and that may be where this investigation
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: is going next.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Now story number two New York Attorney General Letitia James
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: story the media is having to cover right now because,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: let's be honest, she built much of her political career
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: on one thing, trying to put Donald Trump behind bars
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: attacking Donald Trump.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: She even raised money off of attacking Donald Trump in
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: said if she was elected, she would.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Go after Donald Trump. Well.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Now she has been indicted on a bank fraud charge
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: by a federal grand jury in Virginia. The grand Jury
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: in the Eastern District of Virginia Rey turned the indictment
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: on Thursday. Earlier this year, the Justice Department confirmed an
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: investigation into Latsia James over what was described as alleged
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: mortgage fraud. The probe centers on claims that she misrepresented
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: property records and loan application to secure more favorable financing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: By the way, that is against the law. According to
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: no letter from the Federal Housing Finance Director, James allegedly
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: made false statements on multiple documents, meaning that you can
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: see clearly if she was lawing. That includes listing a
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Virginia property as her primary residence when it was in
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: fact not, filing Brooklyn records showing her multifamily building had
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: five units instead of four. That would be what would
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: be categorized as fraud. Submitting a mortgage application claiming she
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: was her father spouse pretty easy to you know, prove
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: that that wasn't actually true. Now, James has been under
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: scrutiny for at least one suspected instance of misrepresenting an
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: investment property as her primary or secondary residence, a move
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: that could save thousands in interest rates as well. The
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: case is being held by the US Attorney Lindsay Halligan,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: a Trump appointee. Halligan, by the way, is new and
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: replaced Eric Siebert, who was ousted after reportedly showing reluctance
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: to pursue cases one against James and the former FBI
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Director James Comey. Both obviously are individuals that people believe
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: have abused their power, and there are people that say,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I'm one of them, that it's time to hold those
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: accountable who have lied and weaponized our government. Now, James
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: has responded, and here is part of what she had
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: to say about the indictment.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: desperate weaponization of our justice system.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He's forcing federal law.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: my job as the New York State Attorney general. He's
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements make
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Let's be clear.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Ptitia James is the one who has literally said before
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that if you would just vote for and get her
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: in office, she's going to take down Donald Trump. So
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: much for acting like you're not going after your political enemies.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: We also are getting to witness what the media is
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: doing with this, and they're covering it as big breaking news,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: but they're also trying to see can they spin it
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: to hurt Donald Trump, claiming he's just going after his
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: political enemies and acting as if somehow mortgage fraud is
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: not a big deal. Here's how they broke the news
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: on CNN, CNN Drinking News.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Welcome to the lead on Jake Tapper, and we start
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: with breaking news in our law Injustice Lee just moments
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: ago to two sources telling CNN that the Justice Department
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: indicted yet another one of President Trump's perceived political opponents.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: This time it was New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: She was charged in a federal court in a grand
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: jury in Alexandria, Virginia. Today, you will remember James brought
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: civil fraud charges alleging financial fraud against Trump and his
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: adult sons in his real estate business in New York.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Back in twenty twenty two, a judge found them libel
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: and ordered a three hundred and fifty five million dollar fine,
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: which Trump appealed. And this obviously comes in the context
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: of President Trump demanding that the Eastern District of Virginia
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: the US Attorney there, carry out orders to go after
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: his political opponents. James Comey, who has been indicted Letitia James,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: who as of today has been indicted. Democratic Senator Adam
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Schiff is the third that he mentioned in that public
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: truth social post at the Wall Street General reports was
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: accidentally publicly was meant to be a private message to
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: his Attorney General, Pam Bondi with me here in New
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: York scene.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, let's just stop there.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Isn't amazing that they actually overlook the crimes that these
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: people are accused of committing. And isn't amazing that the
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: same people that were screaming when Donald Trump was indicted
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: on ridiculous and bogus charges, saying well, he's been charged,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: he's going to be a raided, he's gonna have a
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: mug shot, he's going to be in court, are now
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: acting as if this is all news that you should
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: just look the other way. On there is one, by
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: the way, one of those that was a part of
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: the hoax January sixth Committee, a guy by the name
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: of Adam Kinzinger who is at least somewhat honest on
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: CNN about this fraud mortgage fraud charge against Latista James.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And I want you to hear what he.
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: Said that people's trusted our system, Congressman, I mean, live
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: by the sword, die by the sword.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Is that the way the system should be?
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah? No, I mean, look, I think two days can
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: be true here. I think the first thing is, Leticia
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: James never should have made those comments. She never should
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: have run on I'm going to go after him before
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: she's seen the evidence, before she's had anything that was wrong,
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: not illegal, that was wrong. And then at the same time,
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: there is no doubt, and I mean we can argue
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: about it, but there's no doubt that this thing went.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: They went after her specifically for retribution, specifically because it
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: was her. I mean, all you have to do is
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: read the President's accidental fake tweet or whatever thing that's
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: called posts and know that he was basically saying, Pam,
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: here are two people we have to go after. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, boy, just miraculously, a new
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: person comes in after the other person said that they
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: didn't have enough to make a case and get indicted.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: This thing, probably, like like Coomey's, is either going to
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: be thrown out. I'm not a lawyer, so who knows
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: either be thrown out before trial or certainly will be
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: will be seen as what it is, which is revenge.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: But I think we can hold Anderson. Both things are true.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Letitia James never should I have said that in the campaign.
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: And also they are going after her for one reason
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: because it's.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Her, So there you have it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Well, Jesse James as well, you know, probably did something wrong,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: and you know, maybe she didn't commit mortgage fraud, but hey,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: they shouldn't go after because she went after them first
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: in a political way. That is some weird leftist logic.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: But the one thing that we can be sure about
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: is this. Donald Trump ran on and said he was
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: going to hold those accountable who abuse their positions of
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: power to go after their political enemies. And what we're
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: witnessing right now is the deep state crumbling, and those
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: that went after the president only for political reasons are
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: now being held accountable for their own actions.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: That apparently now include mortgage fraud.
