00:00:00.000Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, September 15th.
00:00:05.800Happy Tuesday, folks. I hope you're all having a wonderful day.
00:00:08.960Some big news happening today coming out of Washington, D.C.
00:00:12.480As it appears, FBI agents set out to try to investigate Elon Musk
00:00:19.300as Elon Musk was investigating crime, corruption, government bloat inside the federal government.
00:00:26.480The news is being released this afternoon by Senator Grassley about these FBI agents who tried to open up criminal investigations for asking government employees what they were doing with their weekly productivity.
00:00:38.100Last year, Elon Musk, through Doge, asked federal employees to list five things that they accomplished during this week.
00:00:44.640The email is blasted out to federal employees with the subject line, quote, what did you do last week?
00:00:50.060Musk received intense backlash for asking federal employees to list their weekly accomplishments.
00:00:54.920Now, anybody else who works for a private company can, of course, be asked that at any given time,
00:00:59.900and you're forced to answer. You're being paid by somebody.
00:01:03.580You're going to be asked what you're doing for work. I don't think that's too hard of a question.
00:01:08.540Now, Elon Musk and the OPM later clarified that it was a voluntary response to Doge's five things email,
00:01:13.940and that non-response would not trigger a termination.
00:01:17.620Then, special agent at the FBI, Kevin Grenoud, urged the FBI to investigate Elon Musk
00:01:23.740and said the billionaire violated information security policies.
00:01:27.640Gounad also said that Elon Musk profited off the Five Things email by promoting it on X.
00:01:33.240Grassley released other records this afternoon ahead of the committee hearing with FBI Director
00:01:37.620Kash Patel. Total, total joke, folks. But this is what goes on inside the FBI. And this is still
00:01:44.660what is going on inside the FBI as zero arrests have been made. Now, as I said,
00:01:51.620cash patel was on capitol hill today to face a grilling from the marxist dems who actually took
00:01:57.460their time to go after him and boy it was a mistake here's one exchange cash patel uh and
00:02:03.720senator adam schiff yeah that's right the same adam schiff who's been talking about russian collusion
00:02:08.500but has yet to show the evidence he wants to know why cash believed that the media
00:02:14.500was the enemy of the people take a listen
00:02:17.080i want to read you a statement that you made about the press this was in 2024
00:02:25.660when you said that the mainstream media was quote the most powerful enemy that the united states
00:02:31.740has ever seen you stand by that your colleagues put that on full display here today but do you
00:02:38.680stand by that i'm answering the question your colleagues put that on full display by hacking
00:02:43.600around the same lies and no no no this is this is this is your comment that's what makes the
00:02:48.580majority of the mainstream i don't want to have to go over my time as other colleagues have i've
00:02:53.260answered the question if you could answer the question do you stand by this statement that's
00:02:56.940a great picture you should post it do you stand by your statement i always do um so is it your
00:03:03.580view then that the media is a greater enemy than iran that's not what i said i said the media that
00:03:12.720participates in lying like you do in the baseless attacks on me and my personnel and my loved ones
00:03:17.920is the most harmful institution to the United States of America because you don't want to tell
00:03:22.820the truth. And by this mainstream media that you're accusing of lying, you're talking about
00:03:26.360the New York Times? Are they part of the enemy? I mean, I'm talking about the ones that you said
00:03:29.860are still looking for. Are you talking about the New York Times? Aren't you and them the ones
00:03:32.960looking for Russia collusion? Excuse me. Did you find Russia collusion? Is it in that envelope that
00:03:37.200you held up? We need an extra minute and maybe continuing as long as he... Or what about those
00:03:41.760All the legal FISA warrants when we and I were on the House Select Committee together.
00:03:44.680I'll stipulate for the record all the insults he wants to make later, but...
00:03:47.960How Adam Schiff could ask anybody a question with a serious face is beside me.
00:03:53.120Now, just down the road, the Attorney General, Todd Blanche, was at the White House to give a briefing on various things about arrests that were being made for election fraud.
