FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is being used to spy on Donald Trump. Is the FBI spying on Trump? Is the government spying on him? Is he being spied on by the DOJ? Or is it by the Russians?

00:01:46.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:01:51.000 I'm going to say something that is self-evident but is worthy of exploring.
00:01:56.000 You cannot be free if you do not have privacy.
00:01:59.000 You cannot be free if the government knows everything you are thinking, everything you're writing.
00:02:07.000 Why is that?
00:02:09.000 Orwell demonstrated this probably the best of any author.
00:02:14.000 And then, of course, the book 1984, there's so many different elements of the death of truth, the erosion of speech, the deterioration of private and intimate relationships to the end of 1984, where it sends chills down your spine, where eventually you worship Big Brother.
00:02:31.000 But Big Brother is probably the most quoted and is the most understood concept of Orwell's magnum opus of 1984.
00:02:40.000 And he demonstrates that there's this incredibly powerful quote, and I'm going to paraphrase it.
00:02:49.000 I'm sure Blake can get it up rather quickly, which is, the best way to keep something from Big Brother is to not think it in the first place.
00:02:59.000 To not even think it.
00:03:01.000 You see, in the movie, in the book 1984, the movie is actually terrible, but in the book 1984, you see that there's your own ability to consciousness to have your own personal life to flourish.
00:03:15.000 It deteriorates if the government can look over your shoulder and see everything you are doing, especially during a period of time where political dissidents are thrown into jail or attempted to be thrown into jail.
00:03:33.000 I have here MSNBC on, just to kind of see what they're talking about.
00:03:36.000 They are salivating about Trump's first trial on Monday.
00:03:41.000 Excuse the graphic language, but Trump being in a criminal trial on Monday is the closest thing to legalize pornography that these people will have on cable television for them.
00:03:51.000 They can't wait for it.
00:03:53.000 I have a question as we dive into FISA here.
00:03:57.000 Are they currently and actively spying on Donald Trump right now?
00:04:01.000 Donald Trump talks to people all across the world.
00:04:01.000 Think about it.
00:04:04.000 Donald Trump has golf tournaments.
00:04:06.000 Donald Trump travels for international business.
00:04:08.000 Donald Trump has golf courses in Scotland and the United Kingdom.
00:04:12.000 FISA allows you to spy on American citizens if you communicate with a foreigner.
00:04:18.000 Let's not get too speculative here.
00:04:21.000 Are they rushing to get FISA reauthorized without warrants because some desk worker at the FBI is able to query search Donald Trump's text messages and listen to his phone calls?
00:04:34.000 Is that happening right now?
00:04:37.000 Do they know Donald Trump's intimate campaign finance details where he's planning to spend time?
00:04:43.000 Are they getting information and relaying it back to the Joe Biden campaign?
00:04:48.000 I wish I wouldn't even have to think this way.
00:04:50.000 I wish we could say, oh, Charlie, that is outrageous.
00:04:53.000 But the FBI has lost all credibility.
00:04:56.000 The Department of Justice has lost all credibility the last couple of years, not just on the Carter page, Bruce and Nelly or Peter Struckstok Smirk, Lisa Page, not just all of those details that we saw regarding the Russiagate investigation, but this story also that interestingly is very hard to find now, for the reason the social media companies have buried this story.
00:05:17.000 Last year, FBI repeatedly misused surveillance tool, unsealed FISA order reveals.
00:05:24.000 How many times did they misuse it?
00:05:27.000 It wasn't like a couple hundred times.
00:05:30.000 No, no, no.
00:05:31.000 They misused the FISA authority tens of thousands of times that we even know of.
00:05:40.000 Repeatedly misused the FISA tool.
00:05:43.000 In fact, it's buried in the article.
00:05:45.000 And it shows that the FBI, whether it be for our MAGA patriots and even with BLM protesters, they spy on people's devices, spy on people's communications.
00:06:00.000 This is last year this came out.
00:06:01.000 The Associated Press released the FISA report.
00:06:06.000 And even Democrats were shocked by this.
00:06:08.000 But now the FISA authorization is being shepherded very quickly through the House of Representatives.
00:06:14.000 And you just have to wonder, what is really going on here?
00:06:17.000 Is there a political reason for this?
00:06:20.000 Is Donald Trump actively being spied on?
00:06:22.000 Is his campaign right now being spied on?
00:06:25.000 Well, think about it.
00:06:26.000 Donald Trump is currently under indictment. 0.74
00:06:28.000 They can make an exception in the FISA thing saying, well, Donald Trump is a criminal.
00:06:32.000 We don't know if he's colluding with the foreign government.
00:06:34.000 Let's just get all of his phone calls.
00:06:36.000 Would we ever even know that's happening?
00:06:38.000 Would we even find out that the FBI is doing that?
00:06:41.000 We know from reporting that our own intelligence community used FISA to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016.
00:06:47.000 Are they doing it currently?
00:06:49.000 Is it happening as I am doing this broadcast right now?
00:06:53.000 Well, Speaker Johnson came out and has infuriated conservatives.
00:06:56.000 Speaker Johnson is committed to bringing an aid vote, the Ukraine aid vote, after the House passes the legislation reauthorizing FISA.
00:07:07.000 Let's go to this tape here.
00:07:09.000 Dan Crenshaw supports FISA, and he says we need to do this without a warrant.
00:07:14.000 You just need to give the FBI all of this power without having to get a warrant.
00:07:19.000 I'm sorry, is the Constitution just a recommendation manual now?
00:07:23.000 The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution says, you know, we might not, we don't have to follow that.
00:07:29.000 Let's play cut 116, please.
00:07:32.000 It would do the necessary reforms to, it would codify 56 more reforms.
00:07:36.000 It would put in processes before queries are even made.
00:07:39.000 It would put in criminal penalties for those who do not abide by those processes.
00:07:45.000 The FBI hates these reforms, by the way.
00:07:48.000 Please support this bill.
00:07:49.000 Please do not support the amendment to require a warrant for queries and health back.
00:07:54.000 Do not support a warrant for queries.
00:07:56.000 What is queries?
00:07:57.000 I want you to understand how much power these people have.
00:08:00.000 They have been given back-end access to all telecommunication services and many of these supposed secret applications or private applications that you use.
00:08:09.000 So the FBI can open up a laptop.
00:08:12.000 And Edward Snowden demonstrated how this is abused by the Intel agencies and the Intel community.
00:08:17.000 And they could say, boy, we don't like that Tucker Carlson guy.
00:08:21.000 Oh, wait, they did that.
00:08:23.000 Tucker Carlson was spied on by our Intel agencies because Tucker Carlson was thinking of sitting down and interviewing Vladimir Putin, something he ended up doing.
00:08:32.000 So they spied on Tucker Carlson.
00:08:34.000 They spied on Donald Trump.
00:08:36.000 Why would you just not want to go get a warrant?
00:08:38.000 Well, they write here, and the FBI writes in this op-ed, and Christopher Ray reiterates it.
00:08:44.000 He says this: He said, all these terrorist attacks that were thwarted, and they're very light on details, but they're finally starting to pepper some of these.
00:08:52.000 But interestingly enough, I don't quite understand how an accelerated FISA 702 reauthorization without a warrant includes this.
00:09:03.000 But so they say, okay, there's some things here, including thwarted kidnapping plots and so on and so forth.
00:09:08.000 They say, quote, this would have been impossible if the FBI had been required to stop and obtain prior court approval before acting.
00:09:17.000 How do we know that's true?
00:09:19.000 I assume that you are lying.
00:09:22.000 I assume that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is misleading us.
00:09:26.000 They lie to us all the time.
00:09:28.000 So they write an op-ed and they say, oh, well, if we had to get a warrant, we wouldn't be able to keep Americans safe. 1.00
00:09:33.000 That is pure rubbish. 0.97
00:09:35.000 And I will go a step further. 0.95
00:09:37.000 And I want somebody who believes in FISA to come on this program.
00:09:41.000 I'll be willing to hear you.
00:09:42.000 I'm not an expert on this, but I am a patriot.
00:09:44.000 I'm a citizen and I love the Constitution.
00:09:46.000 And I consume the news for 15 to 16 hours a day.
00:09:50.000 What exactly is the reason we have FISA in the first place?
00:09:56.000 Why do you need this wide-reaching authority outside of going to get a warrant?
00:10:05.000 We know they're power hungry.
00:10:07.000 They know they want to get rid of Donald Trump.
00:10:09.000 We know that they hate you.
00:10:12.000 Why do we have FISA in the first place?
00:10:15.000 And why is the media carrying the water of all the intel agencies?
00:10:19.000 And it is telling.
00:10:20.000 It's amazing how quiet the BLM folks have been on this.
00:10:26.000 They quelled their left flank.
00:10:29.000 BLM was illegally spied on, and they're just kind of, oh, you know, we want to have some reforms. 1.00
00:10:35.000 Makes you think.
00:10:37.000 But the real target is Trump.
00:10:40.000 Is Donald Trump currently being spied on by this FBI?
00:10:45.000 We may never know.
00:10:46.000 Why give them the power?
00:10:49.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:44.000 That is patriotmobile.com slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie.
00:11:53.000 Let me tell you the clip that has conservatives most upset. 0.61
00:11:57.000 Constitutionalists.
00:11:58.000 And it is this argument from authority.
00:12:01.000 They continually say, well, if you had a classified briefing like we did, you would understand.
00:12:09.000 If you were able to get into a skiff, if you were able to get into a private room, then, you know, if you were able to get into a sensitive compartmented information facility, otherwise known as a skiff, your eyes will open.
00:12:21.000 This form of persuasion, which is not persuasion at all, it's actually rooted in a logical fallacy arguing from authority.
00:12:29.000 It's destructive to our discourse.
00:12:33.000 It is not persuasive.
00:12:34.000 In fact, it creates backlash, cynicism, and anger among the citizenry.
00:12:42.000 This is the same type of language that they use with COVID.
00:12:46.000 Just trust the experts.
00:12:48.000 We're in charge.
00:12:49.000 Just, you know, we have information and just trust the experts.
00:12:52.000 The same information that they use with Ukraine.
00:12:55.000 We have information that you don't have.
00:12:56.000 And if you knew what we knew, then you would be in support.
00:12:59.000 We don't trust any of you, actually.
00:13:01.000 So you have to make the case to the American people.
00:13:04.000 Don't tell us that we need a security clearance and that we need to somehow go into some skiff.
00:13:09.000 I'm not allowed into a skiff.
00:13:09.000 Guess what?
00:13:10.000 This audience is not allowed into a skiff.
00:13:12.000 So go through the details.
00:13:14.000 Make the case.
00:13:15.000 Go through the PowerPoint and say, we are able to thwart this person and thwart this person.
00:13:19.000 And they say, oh, well, we know we don't want to do that because then we can give our enemies a heads up.
00:13:23.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:13:25.000 I think they know, if it actually works, what FISA can do.
00:13:29.000 They are saying that FISA is safe and effective.
00:13:32.000 FISA is safe and effective.
00:13:33.000 The same way they said the mRNA shot called the vaccine was safe and effective.
00:13:38.000 This clip right here is Speaker Johnson, and he just infuriated the grassroots over this.
00:13:44.000 I mean, people are on fire over this.
00:13:47.000 Essentially, saying, if members were just to go down to a skiff, they would all vote for this.
00:13:53.000 If you knew what I knew and absent the details, because maybe he is right, but I don't trust the DC political class when they talk like this.
00:14:05.000 In fact, I inherently distrust the D.C. political class.
00:14:08.000 And when Speaker Johnson is in harmony with Merrick Garland and Christopher Wright and Joe Biden, I get even more skeptical about this.
00:14:18.000 So this is the clip yesterday where Speaker Johnson says, well, you know, my eyes have been opened to the importance of 702.
00:14:25.000 Tell us the details.
00:14:27.000 Tell us specifically how 702 keeps us safer.
00:14:32.000 Tell us specifically.
00:14:33.000 And we are willing as American patriots to trade sometimes safety for freedom.
00:14:38.000 That is the trade that we have, by the way, for automobiles.
00:14:41.000 You have the freedom to drive cars and people have car accidents.
00:14:45.000 It is the trade that we have for private firearm ownership.
00:14:49.000 But tell us specifically, with precision, why giving the FBI unchecked, warrantless surveillance, authority, and power is necessary for a free and prosperous society.
00:15:04.000 Play Cut 120.
00:15:06.000 When I was a member of this area, I saw all the abuses of the FBI, the terrible abuses over and over and over, the hundreds of thousands of abuses.
00:15:13.000 And then when I became speaker, I went to the SCIF and got the confidential briefing from sort of the other perspective on that to understand the necessity of Section 702 of FISA and how important it is for national security and gave me a different perspective.
00:15:25.000 So I encourage all the members to go to the classified briefing and hear all that and see it so they can evaluate the situation for themselves.
00:15:31.000 And I think some opinions have changed both ways, but that's part of the process.
00:15:35.000 You've got to be fully informed.
00:15:38.000 That doesn't do anything for me.
00:15:39.000 So that you went down to the SCIF and you used to be against it, but then your eyes were open and you want members to go down there and that their opinion might change either way.
00:15:51.000 Hold on, give us the details here.
00:15:53.000 What exactly was shared?
00:15:54.000 Here's how this works.
00:15:56.000 The FBI, the Intel agencies, they put on this major dog and pony show, and they are good at it.
00:16:03.000 They're excellent at it.
00:16:06.000 They bring everyone into the room, and everyone is all of a sudden the Intel guys walk in.
00:16:10.000 Again, I've never been in a skiff, but I've been told.
00:16:13.000 And they talk from such authority.
00:16:16.000 And they have these PowerPoints, and it feels so legit.
00:16:19.000 And then they play to the emotions that we were able to thwart a potential mass casualty event because we were able to intercept this text message.
00:16:27.000 And then someone's asked the question: wait a second.
00:16:29.000 I totally get that.
00:16:30.000 But why couldn't you just go to a judge and get a warrant?
00:16:35.000 Why couldn't you just go through the proper Fourth Amendment provisions?
00:16:39.000 Is it really that hard to write something up and get in front of a judge?
00:16:43.000 Now, we know that FISA judges are actually on call basically 24-7.
00:16:47.000 It's a secret court, but albeit it is a court that you can get something authorized.
00:16:52.000 Why can't you just go in front of it?
00:16:53.000 Are they so it takes too much time?
00:16:55.000 Well, maybe the time is a not an impediment, but it is a feature of our system.
00:17:01.000 Maybe the time makes you think twice whether or not you should be spying on all these people.
00:17:08.000 Today, we're diving into a topic that's more relevant than ever, online integrity.
00:17:13.000 We live in a digital age where technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, from smartphones to laptops.
00:17:19.000 The internet offers incredible opportunities for connection and growth.
00:17:23.000 But with these opportunities also come risks that can compromise our values, integrity, and faith.
00:17:27.000 Pornography is almost everywhere.
00:17:29.000 And I could tell you, Covenant Eyes works.
00:17:32.000 I use it, and you should too.
00:17:33.000 In fact, I use Covenant Eyes before they ever wanted to partner with us on this podcast, which is why I'm so thrilled to share with you this special offer today.
00:17:43.000 Look, it's a powerful tool.
00:17:44.000 It's changing the game when it comes to helping men and women steer clear of porn and providing online accountability.
00:17:50.000 If you're watching porn, stop watching porn.
00:17:52.000 There's no excuse for it. 0.79
00:17:53.000 Stop justifying it.
00:17:55.000 Stop trying to rationalize it.
00:17:58.000 Covenant Eyes isn't just another software.
00:18:00.000 It's a shield for your digital life, helping you navigate the internet with confidence and in God-honoring ways.
00:18:06.000 It's been helpful to me in my life, and I want you to find the same peace of mind and freedom.

00:19:17.000 I want to make sure we get our facts straight here because there's a lot of misinformation in the media.
00:19:21.000 They say, oh, Republicans are just trying to stop the ability for the government to stop terrorist attacks.
00:19:26.000 No, no.
00:19:27.000 Our main contention is to get a warrant.
00:19:30.000 Now, additionally, I will say, I want to know why FISA exists in the first place.
00:19:36.000 Now, what do I mean why FISA exists in the first place?
00:19:39.000 Well, it's a 1978 law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
00:19:44.000 It's United States federal law that establishes procedures for the surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence on domestic soil.
00:19:51.000 But here's where it starts to get sticky: we have so many foreigners here on our soil, illegal aliens, people on temporary green cards, people that are visitors, that the connective dots between a U.S. citizen and a foreigner is not hard to find. 0.99
00:20:09.000 For example, if I am texting my friend in London, which I do, all of a sudden, my information, my text messages, could get looped into a FISA query.
00:20:21.000 Now, the FBI, they do not want to have to answer to a warrant.
00:20:25.000 Let's go all the way back to our roots.
00:20:28.000 Let's forget all the chatter by the intel agencies.
00:20:31.000 Let's forget the spin from Speaker Johnson.
00:20:33.000 Let's go back to our roots because the Constitution was not written for the times.
00:20:38.000 It was written to stand the test of time.
00:20:41.000 And specifically, the Bill of Rights that was ratified in 1791, that was inspired by the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written and composed and authored by George Mason.
00:20:52.000 And that then became the Bill of Rights.
00:20:54.000 The Bill of Rights all address certain issues.
00:20:58.000 The Bill of Rights actually is the solution to so many of the complaints that were found in the Declaration of Independence.
00:21:07.000 The Declaration of Independence says the king is putting soldiers in our homes and the king is lying to us and abusing us.
00:21:13.000 And so a lot of the details found in the Bill of Rights were answers to the problems of why we separated from the British Empire in the first place.
00:21:25.000 We know why we have freedom of speech.
00:21:27.000 You need to be able to petition your government.
00:21:28.000 You need to be able to organize.
00:21:31.000 You, as a sovereign being, have rights given to you by God, not by government.
00:21:36.000 We know why we have a second amendment to protect all the other amendments to protect yourself against, God forbid, a tyrannical government.
00:21:41.000 The Third Amendment, you can't allow soldiers into your home. 0.93
00:21:44.000 It's a big deal back in founding revolutionary era times.
00:21:48.000 The Fourth Amendment is actually a sister amendment to the First Amendment.
00:21:53.000 You cannot have freedom of speech.
00:21:56.000 You cannot have freedom of inquiry.
00:21:58.000 You cannot challenge power.
00:21:59.000 You cannot protest.
00:22:00.000 You cannot organize if you don't have privacy.
00:22:04.000 Because then those ideas are not actually your own.
00:22:07.000 If you believe everything that you are saying is being monitored by the state, then you would act differently.
00:22:16.000 Now, you should believe that everything you do is being viewed by Almighty God.
00:22:21.000 That's a completely different thing.
00:22:23.000 In fact, I think that creates better people.
00:22:24.000 It creates better action.
00:22:26.000 But what if you were doing something righteous?
00:22:29.000 For example, during lockdowns, let's say lockdowns come again, and you run a church, and you're planning to defy government orders, and you also happen to do some mission work, and you text one of your friends who's a Coptic Christian in Egypt, and the FBI then has an excuse to be able to get to all of your devices, all of your text messages.
00:22:48.000 So, if we go back to our roots, the Fourth Amendment was written there by the founding fathers specifically so that the Leviathan, the government, cannot interfere with your own private thoughts, your private activities, your consciousness.
00:23:04.000 In fact, without privacy, you are constantly under the sword of Damocles of the state.
00:23:13.000 And we have learned in the last couple of years, has the government earned our trust in the last four years?
00:23:18.000 They called Ivermecton horsepace.
00:23:21.000 They locked down our schools.
00:23:22.000 They masked our kids.
00:23:24.000 They pushed this gene-altering vaccine.
00:23:26.000 They kicked people out of the military because of the gene-altering vaccine.
00:23:29.000 They've been failed to secure the border.
00:23:31.000 They lied about Russia Gate.
00:23:33.000 And none of the people responsible have landed in federal prison.
00:23:37.000 Anthony Fauci, Peter Struckstrokesmirk, James Comey, and these same characters and these same actors might not be the same actual individuals, some of them, it's true, but the same type of person.
00:23:50.000 They are now re-emerging and want your representative to say, hey, vote for more power for the federal government.
00:23:58.000 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 was intended as a wiretap act and was the result of congressional investigation into federal surveillance.
00:24:10.000 Through FISA, Congress sought to prove judicial and congressional oversight of foreign intelligence.
00:24:15.000 Now, Section 702, that is a post-9-11 wrinkle.
00:24:20.000 And 702 is the more dangerous part of this.
00:24:25.000 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to DNI, the Department of National Intelligence, is there to keep Americans safe.
00:24:35.000 The overtures, the overview of Section 02, this is their own website.
00:24:39.000 Let me read to you what your government says.
00:24:42.000 According to DNI.gov, the Department of National Intelligence says that they need 702.
00:24:49.000 By mid-2000s, many terrorists and other foreign adversaries were using email accounts serviced by U.S. companies.
00:24:54.000 Because of this change in communication technology, the government had to seek individual court orders based on fright finding probable cause to obtain the communications of non-U.S. persons located abroad.
00:25:07.000 This proved costly because of the resources required and because the government couldn't always meet the probable cause standard, which was designed to protect U.S. persons and persons in the U.S. Hold on a second.
00:25:18.000 They're completely lying.
00:25:19.000 They're conflating two different things.
00:25:21.000 We're not talking about foreigners that are abroad.
00:25:23.000 We're talking about when you get a warrant and you spy on American citizens, which you do routinely.
00:25:28.000 They say, well, who can the IC target under 702?
00:25:31.000 Non-U.S. persons located abroad who are expected to possess, receive, or communicate foreign intelligence information.
00:25:39.000 But then the report last year showed that that is not the case.
00:25:45.000 They use that authority and lied to you.
00:25:48.000 They lie about how much they abuse it.
00:25:50.000 They lie about their capacity and the expanded powers.
00:25:57.000 How about this headline?
00:25:58.000 The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, improperly used FISA 278,000 times.
00:26:11.000 By the way, this article is buried.
00:26:13.000 It is so hard to find.
00:26:14.000 I finally found it.
00:26:15.000 It took me an hour.
00:26:16.000 It took me one hour to find it.
00:26:17.000 I wonder why the social media companies like Google are suppressing this on like the fourth page of Google.
00:26:21.000 Very, very hard to find.
00:26:22.000 Finally found it.
00:26:24.000 And someone is really lobbying these media companies to all of a sudden make these stories disappear.
00:26:30.000 I have not heard anyone tweet this out.
00:26:30.000 I want to repeat this.
00:26:32.000 Let's tweet this out again, just so everyone is clear.
00:26:34.000 This is not like, oh, sorry, we did this once or twice.
00:26:36.000 In just calendar year 2021, the FBI improperly used warrantless search 278,000 times.
00:26:48.000 That is 761 times a day.
00:26:51.000 I'm sorry, I have not heard anyone mention this.
00:26:53.000 Why?
00:26:54.000 Because this story is so hard to find, and I finally found it.
00:26:56.000 I'm really proud of myself because I knew it existed.
00:26:59.000 This is Orwellian, by the way.
00:27:00.000 It's where, like, you know, you saw something and you can't find it because it got memory hold.
00:27:04.000 And I'm like, looking through Google, where is this thing?
00:27:06.000 Where is this?
00:27:06.000 Where is this thing?
00:27:07.000 And finally, I found it.
00:27:08.000 Memory hold did not win today.
00:27:11.000 That is eight times per FBI employee.
00:27:15.000 The FBI abused in one calendar year 278,000 times.
00:27:20.000 This is a systemic, systematic, I should say, insane failure.
00:27:24.000 The FBI is discredited.
00:27:26.000 Andrew just put in our chat, man, I was searching for that article.
00:27:29.000 I couldn't find it earlier either.
00:27:31.000 Interesting how that works.
00:27:33.000 I was losing my mind.
00:27:35.000 I said, I know it exists.
00:27:36.000 I know it.
00:27:37.000 I remember reading it.
00:27:38.000 And all of a sudden, you go to the fourth page of Google, and finally it pops up.
00:27:42.000 You have to find the right terms and do this.
00:27:44.000 And finally, 278,000 times.
00:27:47.000 Can we get that shown up on screen?
00:27:48.000 I have not heard anyone whisper that.
00:27:50.000 And who are the ones pushing for it?
00:27:52.000 The Intel agents are pushing for it. 0.97
00:27:55.000 Who's one of the chief cheerleaders for this?
00:27:57.000 A man who should be in prison. 1.00
00:27:59.000 A pathological liar. 1.00
00:28:01.000 He's a snake. 1.00
00:28:02.000 He's a viper. 0.99
00:28:02.000 He's a serpent. 0.99
00:28:04.000 He should be in a federal penitentiary.
00:28:06.000 Instead, he's been treated with kid gloves and he got a cable news contributorship.
00:28:11.000 None other than James Comey's little sidekick.
00:28:16.000 I was going to use a different word.
00:28:18.000 His sidekick.
00:28:21.000 Andrew McCabe.
00:28:23.000 Play Cut 103.
00:28:25.000 702 authorities were never used in the course of that investigation of Donald Trump and his campaign and some of his campaign associates.
00:28:36.000 He may be referring to the FISA that was used, that is obtained to surveil Carter Page.
00:28:42.000 We now know there were many mistakes in that FISA.
00:28:45.000 Those are all regrettable, but that is not Section 702.
00:28:49.000 Totally different thing here.
00:28:51.000 Okay.
00:28:52.000 There is Andy McCabe saying on television very clearly it was never used to spy on Donald Trump or his campaign. 0.98
00:29:01.000 That is complete rubbish. 0.98
00:29:02.000 It's BS. 0.99
00:29:03.000 We're going to get the video and finally get the story.
00:29:05.000 I want to get this viral.
00:29:06.000 I have not heard in all of this debate anyone mentioned, hey, guys, last year we got the report.
00:29:11.000 It was abused 278,000 times. 0.98
00:29:13.000 I'm sorry, you guys are liars.
00:29:16.000 Your own report says that we broke the protocol 278,000 times in one calendar year. 0.92
00:29:22.000 Are they spying on your local GOP?
00:29:24.000 Maybe.
00:29:25.000 Are they spying on our effort to try to get Nebraska to be winner-take-all?
00:29:28.000 I don't know.
00:29:29.000 They could.
00:29:30.000 They abused it 278,000 times.
00:29:33.000 I don't want to hear ever again.
00:29:36.000 Well, the FBI says that, you know, they're following the rules better.
00:29:41.000 That's like sitting down with the five crime families of New York and they say, we're going to follow the law better.
00:29:47.000 They are a mob. 0.78
00:29:48.000 They are a mafia. 1.00
00:29:50.000 They are a criminal organization. 1.00
00:29:52.000 They are a cartel. 0.91
00:29:53.000 And by the way, that was just in one year.
00:29:55.000 In one year alone, there it is.
00:29:57.000 It's on screen.
00:29:58.000 Thank you guys.
00:29:58.000 Wonderful tech team.
00:30:00.000 We got to get this article viral, by the way.
00:30:02.000 Let's get that tweet up.
00:30:02.000 Let's get it on X. Let's really get some juice behind it because that is the smoking gun that people are forgetting.
00:30:08.000 They broke the warrantless search powers and improperly used them 278,000 times.
00:30:15.000 That is just one year.
00:30:18.000 One year.
00:30:20.000 Breaking news: an amendment by Andy Biggs to require a FISA warrant failed at a tie vote, 212 to 212.
00:30:30.000 Republicans largely voted in favor 128 to 86.
00:30:33.000 Democrats voted against 84 to 126.
00:30:36.000 I never want to hear that Republicans are fascists when we're the ones that want the government to get a warrant before they spy on you. 0.94
00:30:43.000 If we're fascist, we are the worst fascist ever. 0.95
00:30:46.000 Stop spying. 0.99
00:30:48.000 Slow down.
00:30:52.000 Debt.
00:30:52.000 It keeps you tossing and turning at night.
00:30:54.000 You can't get away from it.
00:30:55.000 But the truth is, the system is designed to trap you in debt.
00:30:59.000 Insanely high interest rate credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt.
00:31:04.000 There's a new way out of the debt trap: pivotal debt solutions.

00:31:41.000 That is zapmydebt.com, zapmydebt.com.
00:31:47.000 Just, you know, an amendment to the FISA bill that would have required warrants, which would have been a serious win, had 212 to 212 votes.
00:31:56.000 The speaker rarely votes in these sorts of things.
00:31:58.000 He came down and broke the tie to say the FBI doesn't need a warrant.
00:32:03.000 So Speaker Johnson just came down and said, hey, FBI, I got you.
00:32:07.000 I got your back.
00:32:08.000 No warrants.
00:32:09.000 You can keep on spying on my voters.
00:32:12.000 You can keep on spying on the American people.
00:32:18.000 I'm going to have to collect my thoughts before I properly address that.
00:32:22.000 But I do want to say, let's play this.
00:32:23.000 So Speaker Johnson broke the tie.
00:32:25.000 This has been memory hold.
00:32:26.000 My team and I were searching for this all morning and we finally found it.
00:32:29.000 What is a memory hole?
00:32:30.000 If you know in 1984, they throw a news article down to the incinerator.
00:32:35.000 It disappears as if it never happened.
00:32:37.000 This was so hard to find.
00:32:39.000 It's been memory hold, unless you know the exact number of times the FBI abused it.
00:32:43.000 I finally found it because I said, I think it was like 200,000.
00:32:46.000 I went to Google Advanced Search and we finally hit it.
00:32:50.000 So just so you know, this is the news story that is so hard.
00:32:52.000 No one is playing this.
00:32:53.000 No one is mentioning this.
00:32:54.000 And we have the FISA report.
00:32:56.000 And in fact, you guys, the audience, you're so great.
00:32:58.000 Weston emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:33:00.000 He emailed us the actual report, which has also been memory hold, the 2021 FISA certification opinion, which is a 127-page document that I think we should print out.
00:33:10.000 So thank you, Weston, for finding it.
00:33:12.000 Why are people not repeating this?
00:33:14.000 Why is this not because the Intel agencies have come in and have basically whitewashed this from history?
00:33:22.000 Secondly, why is Google and these major search engines suppressing this to like the fourth or fifth page?
00:33:27.000 Very hard to find unless you know what you are looking for.
00:33:31.000 Play cut 123.
00:33:32.000 This court document released just a few hours ago found that the FBI misused a popular digital surveillance tool on everyday Americans more than 278,000 times in 2020 going into 2021.
00:33:48.000 We're specifically talking about section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, also known as FISA.
00:33:56.000 It gives the FBI and other agencies the ability to digitally surveil without a court order or a warrant.
00:34:03.000 We now know the FBI used the tool on people connected to the civil unrest following the death of George Floyd on the streets of the United States, those involved in the January 6th capital attack, even political donors.
00:34:15.000 According to the court, a redacted name or names, quote, conducted a batch query for over 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign.
00:34:24.000 Okay, so, I mean, that right there, that's smoking gun.
00:34:26.000 Let's get that up on our social media.
00:34:28.000 Audience, we need to really get some traction on this.
00:34:31.000 So I want to just be clear.
00:34:32.000 The FBI says we only do this on foreign nationals.
00:34:35.000 Again, I am not a fan of BLM individuals, like as far as the activists, especially the terrorists, the one burning down Wendy's and stuff.
00:34:45.000 You got to get a warrant.
00:34:47.000 They have rights to, unless they were foreigners here on American soil, you got to get a warrant. 1.00
00:34:51.000 By the way, that would not have been a hard warrant to get.
00:34:54.000 Oh, they're burning down a Wendy's.
00:34:55.000 Again, yes, sir.
00:34:56.000 Here's your warrant.
00:34:57.000 Not exactly a tough one.
00:34:59.000 Oh, they're congregating and they're pillaging and looting.
00:35:02.000 Yes, sir.
00:35:02.000 Here's a warrant.
00:35:03.000 Oh, they're doing organized activity.
00:35:05.000 Yes, sir.
00:35:05.000 Here's a warrant.
00:35:05.000 Not a tough one.
00:35:06.000 Get a warrant.
00:35:07.000 January 6th stuff.
00:35:08.000 We know that they abused FISA for January 6th.
00:35:10.000 We know it.
00:35:11.000 And then they say, oh, yeah, we also spied on political donors.
00:35:16.000 This is a travesty.
00:35:18.000 86 Republicans voted against Andy Biggs.
00:35:22.000 Do we have time to list them all?
