00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.400 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.960 20% of the Republicans in the United States Senate
00:00:10.060 were the target of this fishing expedition.
00:00:13.780 They did so in complete contravention
00:00:16.620 of the Constitution, of separation of powers,
00:00:20.060 of the speech and debate clause,
00:00:21.880 of free speech, of basic rights of privacy.
00:00:25.420 This is an executive who believes it is justified
00:00:28.420 spying on their opponents in the legislature.

00:00:53.700 may have been investigated as part of the FBI's Arctic Frost Probe.
00:00:58.420 and to allege efforts by allies of President Trump
00:01:01.700 they claim to overturn the 2020 election.

00:03:31.040 Story number one.
00:03:32.120 If you missed yesterday's show,
00:03:34.420 you need to go back and listen to the podcast
00:03:36.920 because what was a big story then
00:03:39.760 has now gone into a nuclear bomb today.
00:03:44.200 Senator Chuck Grassley,
00:03:45.720 the Republican from Iowa,
00:03:47.320 has now released 197 subpoenas
00:03:51.580 that the Biden administration's FBI
00:03:54.440 used to seek testimony
00:03:57.000 and documents related to hundreds of Republicans
00:04:00.480 and GOP entities
00:04:02.580 as part of the Bureau's Arctic Frost probe.
00:04:06.560 The prosecutor to former special counsel
00:04:08.680 Jack Smith's election investigation,
00:04:10.780 which now is in essence a hit list,
00:04:14.600 a target list,
00:04:15.740 a black book of influential conservatives
00:04:18.920 and members of Congress
00:04:20.740 who they wanted to target.
00:04:23.400 Arctic Frost was the vehicle
00:04:25.340 by which partisan FBI agents,
00:04:28.140 Chuck Grassley said,
00:04:29.420 and DOJ prosecutors
00:04:31.020 could improperly investigate
00:04:33.320 the entire Republican political apparatus.
00:04:37.900 I want you to hear
00:04:39.000 exactly what Chuck Grassley had to say
00:04:41.240 at this press conference.
00:04:43.260 It is shocking,
00:04:44.360 and now we know just how corrupt
00:04:46.420 the Democratic Party was
00:04:47.960 under the Biden administration.
00:04:50.300 A little bit of history
00:04:51.460 before I get to what we're releasing today.
00:04:54.620 I started the investigation
00:04:57.260 into Arctic Frost July 2022
00:05:00.740 based on whistleblower disclosures.
00:05:04.520 Based on these disclosures,
00:05:06.700 we know that weaponized,
00:05:08.680 taxpayer-funded agents
00:05:10.660 and prosecutors
00:05:12.360 advanced the investigation.
00:05:15.180 As Arctic Frost advanced,
00:05:17.220 92 Republican organizations
00:05:20.080 or individuals were targeted,
00:05:22.340 not just Trump,
00:05:24.660 and they were added to its scope.
00:05:26.860 And author of that targeting list
00:05:30.160 was Special Agent Washington,
00:05:32.540 Walter Giardino.
00:05:34.420 He's the same weaponized agent
00:05:37.960 who was involved in other cases
00:05:40.180 against Republicans,
00:05:41.840 including Peter Navarro.
00:05:43.920 We've learned Jack Smith
00:05:45.580 secretly obtained phone record data
00:05:49.340 from at least eight senators
00:05:51.200 and one congressman.
00:05:52.860 I've recently been informed
00:05:54.120 by Verizon
00:05:54.920 that at least 11 members
00:05:56.960 with Verizon accounts
00:05:58.920 were affected.
00:06:00.240 That includes a hard line
00:06:02.360 for Senator Cruz's office
00:06:04.340 and a staffer's cell phone
00:06:06.720 for former Senator Loeffler.
00:06:09.140 AT&T informed me
00:06:11.140 they challenged the legal basis
00:06:14.220 for Jack Smith's efforts,
00:06:16.620 and Smith backed down.
00:06:18.300 So today we're making public
00:06:20.980 new records
00:06:22.020 that I've obtained
00:06:23.240 through legally protected
00:06:24.840 whistleblower disclosures.
00:06:27.900 197 subpoenas were issued
00:06:30.560 by Jack Smith and his team.
00:06:33.320 These subpoenas were issued
00:06:35.220 to 34 individuals
00:06:37.060 and 163 businesses,
00:06:40.280 including financial institutions.
00:06:43.300 And one of the points of contact
00:06:45.760 on many of these subpoenas
00:06:47.360 was that person
00:06:48.520 I previously named
00:06:49.980 Special Agent Walter Giardino.
00:06:53.560 The subpoena requested records
00:06:56.500 and communications
00:06:57.580 related to over 430 individual
00:07:01.040 and organizations.
00:07:02.500 All of them appear to be aimed
00:07:04.880 at Republicans.
00:07:06.560 A subpoena to event strategies
00:07:09.780 requested records
00:07:11.400 relating to Turning Point USA
00:07:13.780 and the Republican
00:07:15.280 Attorney General's Association.
00:07:17.400 One subpoena to Apple
00:07:19.800 sought records relating to Trump
00:07:22.080 and the January 6th prison choir.
00:07:25.100 Earlier this year,
00:07:26.460 I obtained emails between
00:07:28.380 and among J.P. Cooney,
00:07:31.600 one of Jack Smith's prosecutors.
00:07:34.460 That email exchange
00:07:35.760 was March 2023
00:07:37.520 about a partisan news article
00:07:39.960 on January 6th.
00:07:42.420 And this is what
00:07:43.280 Cooney said in the email.
00:07:45.600 Can we do some work
00:07:47.100 to nail down
00:07:48.520 Trump's role in this?
00:07:50.600 Perhaps with the same process
00:07:52.640 on Ed Henry's LLC,
00:07:55.920 end of quote.
00:07:56.680 You look at what Chuck Grassley
00:07:58.420 is talking about here
00:07:59.540 and it's truly incredible.
00:08:01.440 What he's describing
00:08:02.320 is the Democratic Party
00:08:04.020 saying we are going to use
00:08:05.920 our DOJ,
00:08:07.200 the FBI,
00:08:08.020 the CIA,
00:08:08.400 whoever we need
00:08:09.460 to open up investigations
00:08:10.960 and then go out
00:08:12.340 and attack our political enemies.
00:08:14.540 Now, this is a direct
00:08:16.040 contradictory statement of facts
00:08:18.420 to what Smith
00:08:19.820 had said publicly.
00:08:21.660 This was clearly
00:08:22.960 a fishing expedition.
00:08:25.560 Grassley went on to say
00:08:26.720 standing alongside Grassley
00:08:28.540 with Senator Ron Johnson.
00:08:30.240 He called the subpoenas
00:08:31.220 nothing short of a
00:08:32.440 Biden administration
00:08:33.660 enemies list.
00:08:35.320 Take a listen to Johnson
00:08:36.420 in his own words.
00:08:37.680 I think it's important
00:08:38.740 to note that the records
00:08:40.180 that we are now making public
00:08:41.720 and for personal transparency
00:08:43.820 were not obtained
00:08:45.080 from the agency.
00:08:46.520 They were obtained
00:08:47.440 through a whistleblower.
00:08:49.320 So my first point
00:08:50.080 is we need more whistleblowers.
00:08:52.460 We need people,
00:08:53.160 men and women,
00:08:53.700 inside these agencies
00:08:54.680 who have integrity,
00:08:56.200 who want to see
00:08:56.960 the integrity
00:08:57.620 and credibility
00:08:58.320 of the Department of Justice
00:09:00.200 of the FBI restored
00:09:01.960 come forward.
00:09:03.540 Because right now,
00:09:04.060 I think Cash,
00:09:04.520 Patel, Panbondi
00:09:05.340 are overwhelmed
00:09:06.400 by all the messes
00:09:07.780 they're trying to clean up.
00:09:09.120 Their agencies have been,
00:09:10.280 you know,
00:09:10.480 lost a lot of personnel.
00:09:11.660 People simply couldn't
00:09:12.580 serve the Trump administration.
00:09:15.000 It's hard to hire people
00:09:15.940 because of all the lawfare.
00:09:17.440 And there's still
00:09:17.940 partisan actors
00:09:18.660 burrowed in
00:09:19.500 trying to sabotage
00:09:20.660 their efforts.
00:09:21.520 So we need whistleblowers. 0.90
00:09:23.120 The reason they come forward
00:09:24.180 to Chairman Grassley
00:09:25.160 is because he's been
00:09:25.840 such a champion
00:09:26.700 of whistleblowers.
00:09:27.820 So again,
00:09:28.140 I thank him for that.
00:09:29.680 What is revealed
00:09:30.460 in those 1,700 pages
00:09:31.660 of documents
00:09:32.320 in those 197 subpoenas
00:09:34.240 is nothing short
00:09:35.620 of a Biden administration
00:09:37.780 enemies list.
00:09:39.560 You know,
00:09:39.720 I'm old enough
00:09:40.360 to understand
00:09:40.880 how toxic a term
00:09:41.940 that was
00:09:42.320 under Richard Nixon.
00:09:43.600 This is far worse.
00:09:45.300 Far worse.
00:09:46.120 Orders of magnitude worse.
00:09:47.800 People need to understand
00:09:48.580 how politicized
00:09:49.680 the Biden administration
00:09:50.860 turned all these agencies.
00:09:53.020 And again,
00:09:53.860 the best way
00:09:54.520 to describe
00:09:55.240 President Biden's attitude
00:09:56.580 were his exact quotes.
00:09:58.100 How he thought
00:09:58.640 basically half America
00:09:59.820 were domestic terrorists.
00:10:01.440 in September 2022
00:10:02.420 in front of Independence Hall.
00:10:03.880 He said,
00:10:04.160 Donald Trump
00:10:04.620 and the MAGA Republicans
00:10:05.700 represent an extremism
00:10:07.420 that threatens
00:10:07.920 the very foundation
00:10:08.940 of our republic.
00:10:10.420 A year later
00:10:10.960 in New York City,
00:10:12.120 Donald Trump
00:10:12.560 and his MAGA Republicans
00:10:13.320 are determined
00:10:13.800 to destroy
00:10:14.580 American democracy.
00:10:16.100 Now,
00:10:16.340 nothing could be
00:10:17.060 further from the truth.
00:10:18.640 That is a level
00:10:19.180 of paranoia
00:10:20.100 that's actually astonishing.
00:10:21.860 But the fact
00:10:22.360 that 38
00:10:23.220 Wisconsinites
00:10:24.440 are on that
00:10:25.580 enemies list,
00:10:26.600 I know most
00:10:27.420 of those individuals.
00:10:28.560 They are God-fearing,
00:10:30.380 country-loving,
00:10:31.160 law enforcement,
00:10:33.100 supporting people
00:10:34.320 who want to see
00:10:35.480 America succeed.
00:10:36.620 The fact that they are
00:10:37.500 on a Biden administration
00:10:38.900 enemies list
00:10:39.940 were targeted
00:10:41.040 by that administration
00:10:42.340 is outrageous.
00:10:43.820 It should shock
00:10:44.540 every American.
00:10:46.160 And so I am calling on
00:10:47.520 and I appreciate
00:10:48.380 all the members
00:10:48.960 of the Judiciary Committee,
00:10:50.280 we need to get
00:10:51.060 to the bottom of this.
00:10:52.280 We need to do everything
00:10:52.940 we can to assist
00:10:54.400 Director Patel
00:10:55.940 and AG Bondi
00:10:57.540 in making sure
00:10:58.820 that they have
00:10:59.300 the staff
00:11:00.120 to take control
00:11:01.300 of these agencies.
00:11:02.140 They're the heads of them.
00:11:03.340 I don't think
00:11:03.740 they have the control.
00:11:04.620 I think they're being
00:11:05.120 sabotaged within.
00:11:06.500 But the American people
00:11:07.200 need to understand
00:11:08.080 exactly what happened.
00:11:09.600 And again,
00:11:09.880 I'm calling on
00:11:10.600 members of the Judiciary Committee
00:11:11.720 to help
00:11:12.180 Senator Grassley and myself
00:11:13.340 get to the bottom of this
00:11:14.620 so we can expose this
00:11:16.440 so this doesn't happen
00:11:17.700 again in America.
00:11:18.400 This has to end.
00:11:19.980 You can hear Johnson there
00:11:21.280 obviously very angry
00:11:23.180 about what he has witnessed
00:11:24.600 and now the data
00:11:25.920 that he has uncovered.
00:11:27.540 This is a massive
00:11:28.980 abuse of power
00:11:29.820 by the Biden administration
00:11:31.000 and it attacked anyone
00:11:32.660 they thought
00:11:33.420 was their political enemy.
00:11:35.620 Johnson is not
00:11:36.560 the only one
00:11:37.160 that is furious
00:11:38.040 about what they are uncovering.
00:11:40.000 There's also
00:11:40.580 other members
00:11:41.700 of Congress
00:11:42.560 who were spied upon
00:11:43.980 sitting members
00:11:45.220 of Congress.
00:11:45.940 One of them
00:11:46.760 was Senator Ted Cruz
00:11:48.180 and I want you to hear
00:11:49.200 what Senator Cruz said
00:11:50.260 after he found out
00:11:51.340 that his office phone
00:11:52.780 in his actual office
00:11:54.700 in the United States
00:11:55.760 Senate building
00:11:56.900 was tapped.
00:11:58.680 Why?
00:11:59.240 Because he was a conservative.
00:12:01.180 That was the crime.
00:12:02.620 Take a listen.
00:12:03.600 Arctic Frost
00:12:04.480 is Joe Biden's Watergate.
00:12:07.060 Merrick Garland
00:12:07.740 was a fundamentally 0.99
00:12:08.700 corrupt
00:12:09.460 attorney general.
00:12:11.200 Jack Smith
00:12:11.720 was a fundamentally 0.91
00:12:12.820 corrupt prosecutor.
00:12:14.520 This was a political
00:12:15.740 enemies list
00:12:17.100 from the beginning.
00:12:19.680 197 subpoenas
00:12:20.920 for 430 Republican
00:12:23.600 entities
00:12:24.360 and individuals.
00:12:26.100 That is an absolute
00:12:27.400 and egregious
00:12:28.500 abuse of power.
00:12:29.860 The Biden Justice Department
00:12:31.400 signed off
00:12:32.280 on issuing subpoenas
00:12:33.880 for the phone records
00:12:35.180 of at least
00:12:36.320 nine U.S. senators.
00:12:38.700 20%
00:12:39.620 of the Republicans
00:12:40.980 in the United States Senate
00:12:42.540 were the target
00:12:43.740 of this fishing expedition.
00:12:45.900 They did so
00:12:47.060 in complete
00:12:48.100 contravention
00:12:49.100 of the Constitution
00:12:50.460 of separation
00:12:51.700 of powers
00:12:52.480 of the speech
00:12:53.400 and debate clause
00:12:54.420 of free speech
00:12:55.800 of basic rights
00:12:57.200 of privacy.
00:12:57.860 This is an executive
00:12:59.260 who believes
00:13:00.120 it is justified 0.58
00:13:01.160 spying on their opponents
00:13:03.080 in the legislature
00:13:03.960 because they convince
00:13:05.300 themselves
00:13:05.840 the ends
00:13:06.540 justify
00:13:07.360 the means.
00:13:08.460 I want to talk to you
00:13:09.280 about one of those subpoenas.
00:13:10.560 One of those subpoenas
00:13:11.380 went from Jack Smith
00:13:12.400 to AT&T
00:13:13.220 seeking my cell phone
00:13:15.020 communications.
00:13:16.420 It went to AT&T
00:13:17.580 and I actually want
00:13:18.140 to commend AT&T
00:13:19.200 for doing the right thing.
00:13:20.960 AT&T is based in Texas.
00:13:22.800 AT&T looked at that subpoena
00:13:24.320 and they went to
00:13:25.420 their legal counsel
00:13:26.320 and they said
00:13:27.060 what should we do
00:13:28.060 with that subpoena?
00:13:29.140 And their legal counsel
00:13:30.140 said you cannot comply
00:13:31.500 because this is protected
00:13:32.560 by the speech
00:13:33.160 and debate clause
00:13:34.060 of the U.S. Constitution.
00:13:35.720 And so AT&T
00:13:36.480 declined to comply.
00:13:37.900 Did not hand over
00:13:39.120 my cell phone records.
00:13:40.720 Now one might ask
00:13:41.760 ordinarily
00:13:42.660 a phone company
00:13:44.100 being asked
00:13:44.800 to hand over
00:13:45.460 the phone records
00:13:47.240 of a sitting senator
00:13:48.240 would notify that senator.
00:13:50.140 Well, there was a reason
00:13:51.220 AT&T did not do so.
00:13:53.100 Accompanying the subpoena
00:13:54.120 was an order
00:13:55.200 which I have in my hand
00:13:56.780 right here.
00:13:57.420 An order that was signed
00:13:58.980 by Judge James E. Boesburg.
00:14:01.280 Now who is Boesburg?
00:14:02.400 Boesburg is that radical
00:14:04.060 leftist judge
00:14:05.060 who is out of control,
00:14:06.640 who has been issuing
00:14:07.680 nationwide injunctions
00:14:09.560 one after the other
00:14:10.780 trying to stop
00:14:12.000 President Trump
00:14:12.800 from carrying out
00:14:13.580 his mandate
00:14:14.040 from the voters.
00:14:15.040 Judge Boesburg
00:14:15.680 issued an order
00:14:16.440 to AT&T
00:14:18.380 and signed that order
00:14:19.320 prohibiting AT&T
00:14:20.960 from informing me
00:14:22.040 of this subpoena
00:14:22.840 for at least one year.
00:14:24.520 And Judge Boesburg
00:14:25.480 gave the basis
00:14:26.840 for that order
00:14:27.540 and I'm going to quote
00:14:28.260 from the order
00:14:28.960 Judge Boesburg signed.
00:14:30.220 The court finds
00:14:31.460 reasonable grounds
00:14:32.820 to believe
00:14:33.700 that such disclosure
00:14:35.040 will result
00:14:36.640 in destruction of
00:14:38.140 or tampering
00:14:39.100 with evidence.
00:14:39.880 intimidation
00:14:41.060 of potential witnesses
00:14:42.200 and serious jeopardy
00:14:44.340 to the investigation.
00:14:45.500 That's an order
00:14:46.040 a judge signed.
00:14:46.860 Now I can tell you
00:14:47.540 right now
00:14:48.140 there is precisely
00:14:49.700 zero evidence
00:14:51.100 to conclude
00:14:52.280 that I am likely
00:14:53.600 to destroy
00:14:55.060 or tamper
00:14:55.920 with evidence
00:14:56.640 or to intimidate
00:14:57.800 potential witnesses.
00:14:59.060 Zero evidentiary
00:15:00.200 basis for that.
00:15:01.640 This order
00:15:02.340 is an abuse of power.
00:15:04.160 This order
00:15:04.880 is a weaponized
00:15:06.440 legal system.
00:15:07.680 My assumption
00:15:08.380 we don't have
00:15:09.120 the subpoenas
00:15:09.640 that were issued
00:15:10.260 for the other senators
00:15:11.160 but my assumption
00:15:12.000 is Judge Boesburg
00:15:13.600 printed these things out
00:15:15.560 like the placemats
00:15:16.800 at Denny's
00:15:17.860 one after the other.
00:15:19.180 We don't know
00:15:19.660 that for a fact
00:15:20.520 but I feel confident
00:15:21.580 that he concluded
00:15:22.600 it's likely
00:15:23.180 that Lindsey Graham
00:15:23.980 would destroy evidence
00:15:25.000 and Marsha Blackburn
00:15:25.900 would destroy evidence
00:15:26.840 and Eric Schmidt
00:15:27.660 would destroy evidence
00:15:28.640 and Chuck Grassley
00:15:29.700 would destroy evidence.
00:15:30.960 If a litigant 1.00
00:15:31.900 makes a claim
00:15:32.680 for which there is
00:15:33.400 no factual basis
00:15:34.480 that litigant 1.00
00:15:35.200 is subject to sanctions
00:15:36.580 in federal court
00:15:37.900 and if a judge
00:15:38.740 signs an order
00:15:39.760 reaching a factual
00:15:41.060 conclusion
00:15:41.600 for which there is
00:15:42.480 zero evidence
00:15:43.220 whatsoever
00:15:43.900 that judge
00:15:44.740 is abusing
00:15:45.320 his power
00:15:45.880 I am right now
00:15:46.920 calling on the
00:15:47.480 House of Representatives
00:15:48.320 to impeach
00:15:49.680 Judge Boesburg.
00:15:50.600 Judge Boesburg
00:15:51.400 put his robe down
00:15:52.860 stood up
00:15:53.680 and said
00:15:54.080 sign me up
00:15:55.040 to be part
00:15:55.940 of the partisan
00:15:56.860 vendetta
00:15:57.660 against 20%
00:15:59.060 of the Republicans
00:15:59.900 in the Senate.
00:16:00.660 That is a dereliction
00:16:01.980 of duty
00:16:02.520 and a violation
00:16:03.180 of the judicial oath
00:16:04.580 and I want to thank
00:16:05.500 Chairman Grassley
00:16:06.400 and Chairman Johnson
00:16:07.260 for pursuing this
00:16:08.700 tenaciously
00:16:09.600 like a dog
00:16:10.520 on a bone
00:16:11.040 we are going
00:16:11.980 to get the answers
00:16:12.860 of every person
00:16:13.960 who signed off
00:16:14.900 on this abuse
00:16:15.960 of power
00:16:16.460 and mark my words
00:16:17.560 there will be
00:16:18.620 accountability
00:16:19.280 for these zealots
00:16:20.840 who wanted to
00:16:21.780 corrupt the
00:16:22.440 Department of Justice
00:16:23.460 and corrupt
00:16:24.640 the judiciary
00:16:25.340 in order to try
00:16:26.960 to attack
00:16:27.540 their enemies list.
00:16:28.780 That is unconstitutional
00:16:30.280 it is immoral
00:16:31.400 and it is wrong.
00:16:32.520 This is Biden's
00:16:33.580 Watergate.
00:16:34.040 I could not
00:16:34.760 agree more
00:16:35.300 with Senator Cruz
00:16:36.100 when he said
00:16:36.580 that earlier.
00:16:37.320 I couldn't agree
00:16:37.740 more with Senator
00:16:38.440 Ron Johnson
00:16:39.140 when he called
00:16:39.680 the subpoenas
00:16:40.120 nothing short
00:16:40.840 of Biden's
00:16:41.700 administration's
00:16:42.760 enemies list.
00:16:44.540 These subpoenas
00:16:45.280 were non-public
00:16:46.660 for a reason.
00:16:47.620 These subpoenas
00:16:48.200 were confidential
00:16:49.420 grand jury material
00:16:50.640 that Grassley
00:16:51.400 said he obtained
00:16:52.200 through whistleblower
00:16:53.240 disclosures.
00:16:54.320 They were trying
00:16:55.100 to hide this
00:16:56.100 from the current
00:16:56.880 administration.
00:16:57.980 The subpoenas
00:16:58.460 sought certain
00:16:59.120 communications
00:16:59.840 with media companies
00:17:01.320 as well.
00:17:02.160 We've now learned
00:17:02.900 that those media
00:17:03.540 companies included
00:17:04.380 Fox News Channel
00:17:05.560 CBS
00:17:06.200 Sinclair
00:17:07.520 Newsmax
00:17:08.680 and with members
00:17:09.580 of aides
00:17:10.620 in Congress
00:17:11.400 also being put
00:17:13.020 under the
00:17:13.820 well fishing
00:17:14.680 expedition.
00:17:15.680 We also know
00:17:16.200 they sought
00:17:16.640 sweeping financial
00:17:17.880 information
00:17:18.860 from conservative
00:17:20.180 entities as well.
00:17:22.180 Those conservative
00:17:23.260 entities
00:17:23.840 they wanted
00:17:24.760 to use
00:17:25.360 the federal
00:17:25.780 governments
00:17:26.160 to silence
00:17:27.180 them
00:17:27.520 to shut 0.69
00:17:28.320 them down.
00:17:28.980 this was
00:17:29.960 literally
00:17:30.680 an enemy's
00:17:31.400 list
00:17:31.780 and it
00:17:32.300 was all
00:17:33.120 disguised
00:17:34.180 by the
00:17:34.720 Democratic Party
00:17:35.580 in quiet
00:17:36.500 privately
00:17:37.420 to make sure
00:17:38.480 that you
00:17:39.080 and I
00:17:39.780 never found
00:17:40.700 it.
00:17:40.940 It was also
00:17:41.560 designed to
00:17:42.120 make sure
00:17:42.560 that people
00:17:42.920 like Senator
00:17:43.400 Cruz
00:17:43.960 could not
00:17:44.660 stop it
00:17:45.560 when it
00:17:46.500 was happening.
00:17:48.140 And why
00:17:48.460 did they not
00:17:48.940 want them
00:17:49.420 to know
00:17:49.700 about it?
00:17:50.260 Why did
00:17:50.580 they lie
00:17:51.260 and say
00:17:51.880 that well
00:17:52.440 these senators
00:17:53.120 who they
00:17:53.500 were spying
00:17:54.060 on could
00:17:54.640 not be
00:17:55.020 trusted
00:17:55.540 that they
00:17:56.140 might try
00:17:56.700 to intimidate
00:17:57.740 witnesses
00:17:58.300 with no
00:17:59.100 evidence
00:17:59.520 to back
00:17:59.940 that up
00:18:00.380 because they
00:18:00.940 knew
00:18:01.300 if these
00:18:01.900 senators
00:18:02.160 found out
00:18:02.780 about this
00:18:03.480 they would
00:18:04.020 have the
00:18:04.340 legal grounds
00:18:04.980 to stop
00:18:05.580 the Biden
00:18:06.100 administration
00:18:06.800 immediately.
00:18:08.180 And that
00:18:08.460 is exactly
00:18:09.380 why they
00:18:10.120 said okay
00:18:11.060 we are
00:18:11.820 done.
00:18:12.460 We will
00:18:12.680 do it
00:18:13.000 in silence.
00:18:14.080 We will
00:18:14.300 do it
00:18:14.600 quietly.
00:18:15.460 And they
00:18:15.680 were betting
00:18:16.160 on winning
00:18:16.680 the next
00:18:17.120 election
00:18:17.620 so they'd
00:18:18.300 never be
00:18:18.820 held
00:18:19.000 accountable
00:18:19.420 for what
00:18:20.040 they just
00:18:20.520 did
00:18:20.820 and the
00:18:21.220 massive
00:18:21.540 abuse
00:18:21.940 of power
00:18:22.460 that they
00:18:23.300 were in
00:18:23.840 charge of.
00:18:24.840 This was
00:18:25.460 not legal
00:18:26.520 in any
00:18:27.200 way.
00:18:27.900 This was
00:18:28.260 corruption
00:18:28.960 in every
00:18:30.040 way.
00:18:30.740 And now
00:18:31.100 Donald Trump's
00:18:31.820 administration
00:18:32.440 has exposed
00:18:33.780 it because
00:18:34.480 of great
00:18:35.560 men and
00:18:36.280 women who 0.99
00:18:36.860 have risked
00:18:37.420 their careers
00:18:38.060 as whistleblowers
00:18:39.620 trusting the
00:18:41.200 system.
00:18:41.800 One of the
00:18:42.300 things you
00:18:42.700 heard there
00:18:43.140 at the very
00:18:43.600 beginning
00:18:44.020 was Senator
00:18:44.780 Grassley and
00:18:45.500 Johnson
00:18:45.840 talking about
00:18:46.400 we need
00:18:46.980 more
00:18:47.300 whistleblowers 1.00
00:18:48.040 to come
00:18:48.680 forward
00:18:49.260 and whistleblowers
00:18:50.220 that are
00:18:50.560 witnessing now
00:18:51.580 the protections
00:18:52.560 they are
00:18:52.980 receiving from
00:18:54.040 the Trump
00:18:54.480 administration
00:18:55.120 are probably
00:18:56.140 a thousand
00:18:56.860 times more
00:18:57.500 likely to
00:18:57.960 come forward
00:18:58.680 than they
00:18:59.160 would have
00:18:59.700 during the
00:19:00.240 Biden era
00:19:01.060 when they
00:19:01.560 could clearly
00:19:02.040 see just
00:19:02.680 how corrupt
00:19:03.560 they were 0.52
00:19:04.420 as a
00:19:05.300 administration.
00:19:06.900 One final
00:19:07.460 thing about
00:19:08.440 this.
00:19:09.200 I expect
00:19:09.740 there is
00:19:10.300 going to be
00:19:10.640 even more
00:19:11.480 bombshells
00:19:12.240 to come
00:19:12.600 forward.
00:19:13.500 More
00:19:13.880 corruption
00:19:14.680 that will
00:19:15.380 be unearthed
00:19:16.560 and as all
00:19:17.280 of this
00:19:17.620 corruption
00:19:18.100 continues to
00:19:19.580 be exposed
00:19:20.180 the question
00:19:21.120 now is
00:19:21.820 who will be
00:19:22.680 held accountable
00:19:23.520 for it.
00:19:24.540 We'll keep
00:19:24.980 you updated
00:19:25.540 on that
00:19:25.960 I can
