00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.680 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.900 What is your message to recognize the American people
00:00:08.340 who may encounter some of this pain and despair?
00:00:11.800 How do you get them?
00:00:12.620 Well, up till now, there hasn't been a great deal of pain.
00:00:15.700 There could be a great deal of pain,
00:00:17.160 but up till now, there hasn't been.
00:00:18.640 I will say this, just hang in there
00:00:20.360 because I think a lot of good things are going to happen.
00:00:22.660 That's all I can say.
00:00:23.620 I mean, I think a lot of good things could happen
00:00:25.720 and that could also pertain to health care.
00:00:27.860 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:32.280 Good Tuesday morning.
00:00:33.280 Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update.
00:00:35.840 And this is one of those shows that's very important.
00:00:38.840 And I hope you will share it everywhere you can
00:00:41.240 with family and friends and on social media.
00:00:44.380 This story is one the media is not covering.
00:00:47.080 Instead, they're going to talk about the government shutdown.
00:00:49.980 But this story should scare everyone to their core.
00:00:53.820 And this is the story.
00:00:55.200 Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice
00:00:59.000 were tracking the phone calls of their political enemies,
00:01:04.260 specifically eight GOP senators and a Republican congressman.
00:01:10.580 Yes, they were literally spying on our men and women
00:01:14.980 that are in Washington who've been elected by you and I.
00:01:18.980 And the one thing and the only thing they had in common
00:01:22.600 was that they were all Republicans.
00:01:26.040 But first, I've got to ask you a question.
00:01:28.440 Are you one of those that's just so tired of giving your money
00:01:31.240 to radical left, woke companies
00:01:33.320 that actually are fighting against your values every day?
00:01:36.920 Well, there are certain bills that you pay every month
00:01:39.920 that if you can go with a conservative company,
00:01:43.020 why not do it?
00:01:44.040 In fact, why not go with a conservative company
00:01:46.740 that actually takes part of your bill every month
00:01:48.720 that you're going to pay to somebody?
00:01:50.420 And they give it back to organizations
00:01:52.100 that support your First and your Second Amendment rights,
00:01:55.460 that support the rights of unborn children,
00:01:58.380 that stand with our military,
00:02:00.580 our first responders,
00:02:02.260 and so many wounded warriors that need help.
00:02:05.960 Well, that bill I'm talking about
00:02:07.640 is your cell phone bill.
00:02:10.000 And I've been telling you for a long time
00:02:11.940 about Patriot Mobile,
00:02:13.140 but there's no better time to switch than right now.
00:02:15.720 Not only does Patriot Mobile operate
00:02:18.100 on all three major networks in this country,
00:02:21.040 yeah, all three,
00:02:21.780 that means you get the same great coverage
00:02:23.620 you're used to right now,
00:02:24.780 but you also make a difference
00:02:26.500 with every call you make
00:02:27.580 and every text you make.
00:02:28.960 And why would you want to give your money to Big Mobile?
00:02:31.560 Big Mobile has been giving big donations
00:02:33.660 to democratic causes,
00:02:35.780 democratic candidates,
00:02:37.340 and radical left organizations.
00:02:39.000 I'm talking about organizations
00:02:40.180 that actually support abortion.
00:02:43.400 That is why I want you to switch
00:02:46.140 right now to Patriot Mobile.
00:02:48.560 Go ahead and make the switch,
00:02:50.720 and it's so easy.
00:02:52.040 All you have to do is simply call

00:03:01.720 And if you're still locked in a contract,
00:03:03.620 not a problem.
00:03:04.580 Patriot's Mobile contract buyout program
00:03:06.620 covers up to $500 per device.
00:03:09.860 Keep your same number,
00:03:10.660 keep your phone or upgrade to a new one.
00:03:13.180 So back to my point.

00:03:44.620 It's the 47 Morning Update,
00:03:46.860 and it starts right now.
00:03:48.480 Story number one.
00:03:49.580 This is a story that I'm about to tell you
00:03:51.760 that it's an incredibly important one.
00:03:54.100 It is a fact now that the FBI
00:03:56.320 literally spied on not one,
00:04:00.360 not two,
00:04:01.060 not three,
00:04:02.300 four,
00:04:02.800 five,
00:04:03.340 six,
00:04:03.820 seven,
00:04:04.940 but eight GOP senators.
00:04:08.300 It was called a total analysis.
00:04:11.480 That is the terminology that's used
00:04:13.460 by FBI investigators
00:04:14.940 to analyze cellular call data
00:04:18.020 for federal probes.
00:04:19.700 Think of it as link analysis
00:04:22.280 that shows patterns of communication,
00:04:25.840 location data,
00:04:27.120 as well as potential targets network
00:04:30.560 of associates.
00:04:32.600 This should shock every single one of you
00:04:35.900 to a core.
00:04:37.800 And these declassified records,
00:04:39.740 as the FBI Director Cash Patel
00:04:41.500 is now exposing,
00:04:43.240 code name Arctic Frost,
00:04:45.680 was brought because of a whistleblower
00:04:47.440 disclosures to Senator Grassley
00:04:49.560 and Senator Ron Johnson
00:04:51.380 that showed nearly 100
00:04:54.440 conservative groups,
00:04:56.980 including Turning Point USA,
00:04:59.240 were part of the probe.
00:05:01.860 Now you have something
00:05:03.200 that's even more shocking,
00:05:05.020 and that is not only was the FBI
00:05:06.640 going after conservative groups,
00:05:08.340 but the FBI was spying on senators.
00:05:12.060 And some of those senators
00:05:13.100 are now fighting back.
00:05:15.180 Senator Ron Johnson
00:05:16.340 saying it this way
00:05:17.520 in a statement earlier,
00:05:18.840 I was just briefed
00:05:20.520 by the FBI's Dan Bongino
00:05:22.320 that the FBI
00:05:23.700 and the Justice Department
00:05:25.900 obtained call logs
00:05:27.820 from eight U.S. senators,
00:05:30.140 including myself.
00:05:32.520 We were surveilled
00:05:33.600 simply for being Republicans.
00:05:37.520 This does not surprise me,
00:05:39.480 but it should shock every American,
00:05:42.260 Senator Johnson continued.
00:05:44.080 What the Biden administration
00:05:45.640 has done
00:05:46.800 is an outrageous abuse of power.
00:05:50.760 It is blatant political persecution.
00:05:54.220 Those responsible
00:05:55.340 must be held fully accountable.
00:05:58.340 Now you may ask yourself,
00:06:00.160 what is in this actual document?
00:06:02.300 The Federal Bureau of Investigation
00:06:03.940 unclassified document
00:06:05.920 dated 9-27 of 2023
00:06:09.220 puts it in a simple manner.
00:06:11.860 The FBI special agent,
00:06:14.140 with the name redacted,
00:06:15.140 conducted preliminary toll analysis
00:06:17.740 on limited toll records
00:06:20.220 associated with the following U.S. senators.
00:06:24.520 Mike Kelly,
00:06:25.820 Lindsey Graham,
00:06:27.080 Bill Haggerty,
00:06:28.300 Josh Hawley,
00:06:29.520 Dan Sullivan,
00:06:30.760 Tommy Tuberville,
00:06:32.060 Ron Johnson,
00:06:33.560 Cynthia Loomis,
00:06:35.000 and Senator Marsha Blackburn.
00:06:37.420 You look at what I just explained to you,
00:06:40.100 and this is the weaponization
00:06:42.040 literally of our federal government
00:06:44.620 right before our eyes.
00:06:47.000 The other question is this.
00:06:49.160 Who were the FBI's supervisory special agents,
00:06:52.460 and why are their names redacted?
00:06:54.700 Who approved the report
00:06:56.180 and the surveillance of the U.S. senators
00:06:58.560 is another question that should be asked.
00:07:00.860 Markings indicate
00:07:02.980 that the FBI
00:07:04.520 Washington field office
00:07:07.520 was doing this
00:07:08.840 during the Biden administration.
00:07:11.760 This also means
00:07:13.160 that there was a team
00:07:14.480 involved as well.
00:07:16.280 And FBI SSA
00:07:17.640 manages investigative teams
00:07:19.460 and approves the reports
00:07:21.680 that we now are seeing.
00:07:24.020 Toll analysis,
00:07:25.160 as I mentioned,
00:07:25.860 is used to analyze cellular data
00:07:27.540 and the call details
00:07:29.520 for federal probes.
00:07:31.560 This is a highly revealing
00:07:33.260 investigative tool.
00:07:35.100 It exploits all the patterns
00:07:36.900 of the targets
00:07:37.960 or the people involved
00:07:39.660 in the communication investigation.
00:07:42.160 And it also
00:07:43.200 is incredibly invasive
00:07:45.060 because it would look
00:07:46.780 at the location data
00:07:48.480 of those senators
00:07:50.200 that were being spied on.
00:07:53.460 Now, several of these senators
00:07:55.040 decided to have a press conference
00:07:57.080 that were the targets
00:07:58.720 that were spied on.
00:08:00.460 Senator Grassley
00:08:01.280 was the first to speak
00:08:02.340 and I'm going to play it for you.
00:08:03.880 Listen to what they had to say.
00:08:05.300 We can find
00:08:06.680 the solicitation
00:08:08.440 of these telephone records,
00:08:11.320 which I think emphasizes
00:08:14.880 the political weaponization
00:08:17.240 that was behind
00:08:18.940 all this effort.
00:08:20.980 And we're still
00:08:23.420 getting more information,
00:08:25.120 but we've released
00:08:27.200 some records today
00:08:28.300 and I'll let
00:08:29.140 Senator Johnson
00:08:29.940 take over from here
00:08:31.100 and then each one
00:08:31.980 of you colleagues
00:08:32.760 can join in
00:08:34.300 when you want to,
00:08:35.380 whatever you want to say.
00:08:37.440 First of all,
00:08:38.260 I want to thank
00:08:39.080 Senator Grassley.
00:08:40.340 It is because of his
00:08:41.600 relentless advocacy
00:08:43.540 for whistleblowers
00:08:44.440 that a lot of this information
00:08:45.720 is surfacing right now.
00:08:47.180 We wouldn't know
00:08:47.880 about the list
00:08:48.720 of 100 Republican entities
00:08:50.120 that were targeted
00:08:50.740 by Jack Smith's
00:08:51.800 Arctic Frost investigation.
00:08:53.040 I don't think we know
00:08:54.100 about this as well.
00:08:55.400 So we need whistleblowers. 0.90
00:08:57.580 I think Dan Bongino
00:08:58.840 and folks at the FBI,
00:09:00.520 they don't know
00:09:01.160 where all the records
00:09:02.100 are hidden.
00:09:02.760 They still don't.
00:09:03.500 They're not necessarily
00:09:04.240 getting 100% cooperation.
00:09:06.020 But this is outrageous
00:09:07.320 what has happened.
00:09:08.180 I just want to give you
00:09:09.260 a timeline of this.
00:09:10.360 I think you've already
00:09:10.880 got the FBI sheet
00:09:14.140 that shows the number
00:09:15.180 of members of Congress
00:09:16.120 that were targeted.
00:09:17.220 Representative Kelly,
00:09:18.500 Senators Graham,
00:09:19.360 Hagerty,
00:09:19.800 Hawley,
00:09:20.320 Sullivan,
00:09:21.120 Tuberville,
00:09:21.880 myself,
00:09:22.600 Senator Lummis,
00:09:23.200 and Blackburn.
00:09:24.780 This memo was dated
00:09:26.380 September of 2023.
00:09:28.940 To put it all
00:09:29.560 into context,
00:09:30.760 the Mar-a-Lago raid
00:09:31.900 occurred in August of 2022.
00:09:35.420 Jack Smith announced
00:09:36.680 the indictments
00:09:37.300 against President Trump
00:09:38.260 in August of 2023.
00:09:40.680 So this is almost
00:09:41.540 two months later.
00:09:43.440 They're casting this net,
00:09:45.660 this fishing expedition
00:09:47.620 against members
00:09:49.540 of the Senate
00:09:49.960 in the House.
00:09:52.180 I've been investigating
00:09:53.300 this with Senator Grassley.
00:09:54.660 This doesn't surprise me,
00:09:56.580 but it should shock
00:09:57.940 every American
00:09:59.460 of what the Biden
00:10:01.820 administration
00:10:02.400 has done.
00:10:03.480 By the way,
00:10:03.800 this is the first time
00:10:04.540 I was targeted
00:10:05.100 by the FBI.
00:10:05.980 Under the Obama administration,
00:10:07.300 the same thing happened
00:10:07.920 to both Senator Grassley
00:10:08.880 and I
00:10:09.300 as part of the
00:10:10.380 Foreign Influence
00:10:11.800 Task Force.
00:10:13.500 We were giving
00:10:14.240 a briefing
00:10:16.280 to try and convince us
00:10:18.320 that the Hunter Biden
00:10:19.020 laptop
00:10:19.760 was no big deal.
00:10:21.440 Basically,
00:10:21.880 they're trying to
00:10:22.240 throw us off the track.
00:10:23.920 So this is major corruption
00:10:25.860 that's being revealed
00:10:27.340 inside the Obama
00:10:28.920 and Biden
00:10:29.780 Department of Justice
00:10:31.020 of the FBI.
00:10:32.420 And I'll turn it over
00:10:33.220 to, I guess,
00:10:33.940 Senator Hagerty,
00:10:34.820 who's one of the individuals.
00:10:36.700 Again,
00:10:37.020 none of us were subject
00:10:38.060 to targets
00:10:38.520 of this investigation.
00:10:39.660 There's no predicate.
00:10:40.980 There's no reason
00:10:41.680 for this other than
00:10:42.360 an efficient expedition
00:10:43.340 which, again,
00:10:44.000 should outrage
00:10:44.800 and shock every American.
00:10:46.460 Senator Hagerty.
00:10:47.760 Thank you,
00:10:48.320 Senator Johnson.
00:10:48.920 And Chairman Grassley,
00:10:49.860 thank you for your leadership
00:10:50.820 in making this happen.
00:10:52.520 This is an extraordinary
00:10:53.640 revelation
00:10:54.320 that just took place
00:10:55.600 this afternoon.
00:10:56.760 My colleagues and I
00:10:57.540 found out,
00:10:58.020 all of us Republicans,
00:10:58.920 by the way,
00:10:59.800 that we were placed
00:11:00.600 under investigation
00:11:01.380 by this FBI
00:11:02.300 under the Joe Biden FBI
00:11:04.100 that was led,
00:11:05.720 I presume,
00:11:06.140 by Jack Smith
00:11:06.740 and his predecessors.
00:11:08.220 This isn't the first time
00:11:09.300 that it's happened, though.
00:11:10.020 Senator Johnson
00:11:10.500 just mentioned this.
00:11:11.300 I served on the
00:11:12.760 Trump transition team
00:11:13.640 in Trump Tower
00:11:14.580 in 2016.
00:11:15.960 Senator Blackburn
00:11:16.620 was vice chair
00:11:17.780 of the transition committee
00:11:19.760 then,
00:11:19.980 as were probably
00:11:20.980 a dozen or more
00:11:21.680 members of Congress.
00:11:23.220 To think that we were
00:11:24.300 all surveilled back then
00:11:25.540 by the Obama FBI.
00:11:28.020 This corruption
00:11:28.640 runs deep
00:11:29.840 and it's gone on
00:11:31.440 for far too long.
00:11:33.220 And the fact
00:11:33.840 that it's happened
00:11:34.400 here again,
00:11:35.400 the fact that they are
00:11:36.040 looking at our records
00:11:36.840 in 2023,
00:11:37.800 sitting members
00:11:38.680 of the United States Senate.
00:11:40.240 Again,
00:11:40.480 the only thing
00:11:40.860 that we have in common,
00:11:42.220 the only thing
00:11:42.640 in common
00:11:43.000 in this entire list
00:11:43.820 is that we're
00:11:44.200 all Republicans.
00:11:45.200 They've decided
00:11:45.780 to come after us.
00:11:46.640 This is as partisan
00:11:47.360 as it gets.
00:11:48.540 The FBI
00:11:48.980 and the corruption
00:11:49.540 that's running there
00:11:50.120 has to be cleared out.
00:11:51.420 Thank God
00:11:51.940 we have Cash Patel
00:11:52.880 and Dan Bongino there.
00:11:54.800 This has to be addressed.
00:11:55.820 It has to be resolved.
00:11:57.160 It needs to happen today.
00:11:59.200 What we know
00:12:00.200 is this,
00:12:01.620 that the FBI
00:12:02.700 under Joe Biden
00:12:05.040 and under Barack Obama
00:12:07.000 that they exercised
00:12:09.660 activity
00:12:10.400 that they had
00:12:11.320 no authority
00:12:12.360 to exercise.
00:12:14.560 And as Senator Hagerty
00:12:15.960 mentioned,
00:12:16.920 we know
00:12:17.860 what they did
00:12:18.540 in 2016
00:12:19.540 to the Trump
00:12:20.840 transition team.
00:12:22.320 And now
00:12:23.120 we find out
00:12:24.540 that after
00:12:25.960 the Mar-a-Lago
00:12:27.080 raid,
00:12:28.480 after the indictment
00:12:30.440 of President Trump,
00:12:32.080 they surveil us.
00:12:33.760 People
00:12:34.160 who support
00:12:35.660 President Trump.
00:12:37.840 Members
00:12:38.400 who are
00:12:39.320 all Republicans.
00:12:41.740 But it shows
00:12:42.820 you
00:12:43.240 how out of control 0.97
00:12:44.920 and rotten
00:12:46.140 to the core
00:12:47.160 and politicized
00:12:49.400 the FBI
00:12:50.880 had become
00:12:51.640 and how they had
00:12:52.900 absolutely
00:12:54.260 no problem
00:12:55.840 at all
00:12:56.520 whatsoever
00:12:57.180 with political
00:12:58.800 weaponization,
00:12:59.880 we appreciate
00:13:01.100 the information
00:13:02.060 we've gotten
00:13:02.740 today.
00:13:03.400 We look forward
00:13:04.480 to further
00:13:05.060 investigation
00:13:05.780 on this.
00:13:06.900 You just heard
00:13:07.880 from many
00:13:08.840 of those
00:13:09.760 that were
00:13:10.500 targeted
00:13:10.960 by the FBI.
00:13:12.160 As you heard
00:13:13.000 Bill Hagerty say,
00:13:14.620 we are sitting
00:13:15.420 members of Congress.
00:13:18.000 And by the way,
00:13:19.200 we now have learned
00:13:19.980 it's not just senators.
00:13:21.380 There was also
00:13:21.960 a representative
00:13:22.740 that had their
00:13:23.420 private communications
00:13:24.760 tracked
00:13:25.360 by the former
00:13:26.660 special counsel
00:13:27.600 Jack Smith
00:13:28.580 under the
00:13:29.520 Biden administration.
00:13:31.140 The FBI
00:13:31.600 Director
00:13:32.120 Kash Patel
00:13:33.000 also revealing
00:13:34.660 files obtained
00:13:36.340 by Fox News
00:13:37.320 show that
00:13:37.760 Smith in his
00:13:38.660 official capacity
00:13:40.340 at the Department
00:13:41.560 of Justice
00:13:42.160 as he investigated
00:13:43.420 Donald Trump
00:13:44.280 and the events
00:13:44.880 of January 6th,
00:13:46.000 2021,
00:13:47.320 decided to not
00:13:48.300 only track
00:13:48.800 the phone calls
00:13:49.520 of Lindsey Graham,
00:13:50.320 Marsha Blackburn,
00:13:51.060 Ron Johnson,
00:13:51.840 Josh Hawley,
00:13:52.920 Cynthia Loomis,
00:13:53.740 Bill Hagerty,
00:13:54.400 Dan Sullivan,
00:13:55.120 Tommy Tuberville,
00:13:55.820 but also
00:13:56.500 we now have
00:13:57.120 learned
00:13:57.460 Republican
00:13:58.600 Representative
00:13:59.400 Mike Kelly
00:14:00.660 of Pennsylvania.
00:14:02.480 The alarming
00:14:02.900 document
00:14:03.640 revealing
00:14:04.460 that Smith
00:14:05.260 and his
00:14:06.140 Arctic Frost
00:14:07.200 team
00:14:07.720 had subpoenaed
00:14:08.980 telephone providers
00:14:10.020 for the lawmakers
00:14:11.000 records in
00:14:11.720 2023
00:14:12.620 was recently
00:14:14.640 discovered
00:14:15.200 by Patel.
00:14:16.560 Patel
00:14:16.980 confirmed
00:14:17.520 the legitimacy
00:14:18.200 of the findings
00:14:19.000 in an ex-post
00:14:19.960 writing,
00:14:20.440 We recently
00:14:21.520 uncovered
00:14:22.020 proof
00:14:22.640 that phone
00:14:23.240 records
00:14:23.620 of U.S.
00:14:24.340 lawmakers
00:14:24.740 were seized
00:14:25.560 for political
00:14:26.280 purposes.
00:14:27.720 That abuse
00:14:28.280 of power
00:14:28.740 ends now.
00:14:30.200 Under my
00:14:30.600 leadership,
00:14:31.600 the FBI
00:14:32.020 will deliver
00:14:32.540 truth and
00:14:33.200 accountability
00:14:33.760 and never
00:14:34.760 again be
00:14:35.300 weaponized
00:14:35.920 against the
00:14:36.700 American people.
00:14:38.720 That abuse
00:14:39.380 of power
00:14:39.980 ends now.
00:14:41.540 It seems
00:14:42.020 to be the
00:14:42.540 mantra,
00:14:43.200 unfortunately,
00:14:43.960 that is needed
00:14:44.860 by this
00:14:45.600 administration
00:14:46.300 to make
00:14:47.300 sure that
00:14:47.760 these bad
00:14:48.460 actors are
00:14:49.200 exposed and
00:14:50.120 rooted out.
00:14:51.280 Finally,
00:14:51.800 you also
00:14:52.200 heard one
00:14:52.680 other thing
00:14:53.100 that was
00:14:53.400 really important
00:14:54.260 that was
00:14:54.640 mentioned
00:14:54.960 there.
00:14:55.940 We need
00:14:56.700 whistleblowers.
00:14:58.180 You heard
00:14:58.560 that from
00:14:59.040 Senator Johnson.
00:15:00.440 He is asking
00:15:01.160 for others
00:15:01.900 to come
00:15:02.320 forward that
00:15:02.980 may know
00:15:03.400 about abuse
00:15:03.960 of power
00:15:04.520 that was
00:15:04.840 happening
00:15:05.220 in the
00:15:05.560 deep state
00:15:06.320 and letting
00:15:07.240 them know
00:15:07.720 there's a
00:15:08.160 safe place
00:15:08.860 to bring
00:15:09.460 it.
00:15:10.260 Bongino,
00:15:10.940 we also
00:15:11.340 know,
00:15:11.700 briefed the
00:15:12.180 impacted
00:15:12.600 lawmakers
00:15:13.140 on Monday
00:15:13.720 afternoon
00:15:14.400 and said
00:15:15.840 that it is
00:15:16.220 a disgrace
00:15:17.080 that he's
00:15:17.940 having to
00:15:18.420 sit there
00:15:18.920 and show
00:15:19.840 what he
00:15:20.280 has found.
00:15:21.500 It is a
00:15:21.880 disgrace that
00:15:22.500 I have to
00:15:22.840 stand on
00:15:23.300 Capitol Hill
00:15:23.940 and reveal
00:15:24.720 this,
00:15:25.480 that the
00:15:25.840 FBI was
00:15:26.500 once weaponized
00:15:27.580 to track
00:15:28.100 the private
00:15:28.980 communications
00:15:29.800 of U.S.
00:15:30.800 lawmakers for
00:15:31.580 political
00:15:32.080 purposes.
00:15:33.240 That error
00:15:34.060 is over.
00:15:35.120 Several of
00:15:35.820 the senators
00:15:36.240 who have
00:15:36.600 allegedly been
00:15:37.200 spied on
00:15:37.920 not only
00:15:38.740 spoke at
00:15:39.320 the press
00:15:39.720 conference,
00:15:40.320 which you
00:15:40.540 just heard,
00:15:41.580 but said
00:15:42.100 that they
00:15:42.420 are also
00:15:43.100 going to be
00:15:43.860 looking into
00:15:44.560 this from
00:15:45.400 a congressional
00:15:46.220 standpoint.
00:15:47.100 And to
00:15:48.300 put it
00:15:48.660 just in
00:15:49.140 overall
00:15:49.700 perspective
00:15:50.380 for you,
00:15:51.360 Senator
00:15:51.620 Hawley
00:15:52.040 called
00:15:52.560 Smith's
00:15:53.080 actions
00:15:53.540 not only
00:15:54.060 in abuse
00:15:54.480 of power
00:15:54.900 beyond
00:15:55.260 Watergate,
00:15:56.440 beyond
00:15:56.860 J. Edgar
00:15:57.640 Hoover,
00:15:58.440 one that
00:15:59.000 directly
00:15:59.420 strikes,
00:16:00.180 he said,
00:16:00.580 at the
00:16:00.800 Constitution,
00:16:02.140 the separation
00:16:02.880 of powers
00:16:03.680 and the
00:16:04.460 First Amendment.
00:16:05.980 And thank
00:16:06.400 goodness that
00:16:07.180 President Donald
00:16:07.820 Trump has
00:16:08.360 put great
00:16:09.040 men in
00:16:09.460 charge of
00:16:10.500 the FBI
00:16:11.060 to root
00:16:11.980 out this
00:16:12.480 pure evil
00:16:13.360 that is
00:16:14.000 inside of
00:16:14.660 it.
