- Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson describe this as a “Biden administration enemies list”, likening it to a modern-day Watergate.
- Allegations include surveillance of Senator Ted Cruz’s office phone and cell phone records, with Judge James Boasberg issuing secretive orders to prevent disclosure of the subpoenas.
2. Whistleblower Disclosures

Speaker 1 (00:01):
If you missed yesterday's show, you need to go back
and listen to the podcast, because what was a big
story then has now gone into a nuclear bomb today.
Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican from Iowa, has now released
one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas that the Biden administration's
(00:23):
FBI used to seek testimony and documents related to hundreds
of Republicans and GOP entities as part of the bureau's
Arctic Frost probe, the prosecutor to former Special Council Jack
Smith's election investigation, which now is in essence a hit list,
(00:46):
a target list, a black book of influential conservatives and
members of Congress who they wanted to target. Arctic Frost
was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agent Chuck Grassey
said and DJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican
(01:08):
political apparatus. I want you to hear exactly what Chuck
Grassey had to say at this press conference. It is shocking,
and now we know just how corrupt the Democratic Party
was under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
A little bit of history before I get to what
we're releasing today. I started the investigation into Arctic Frost
July twenty twenty two, based on whistleblower disclosures. Based on
these disclosures, we know that weaponize taxpayer funded agents and
(01:48):
prosecutors advanced the investigation. As Artic Frost advanced. Ninety two
Republican organizations or individuals were targeted, not just Trump, and
they were added to its scope and author of that
(02:11):
targeting list with special agent Washin Walter Jaredino. He's the
same weaponized agent who was involved in other cases against Republicans,
including Peter Navarro. We've learned Jack Smith secretly obtained phone
(02:35):
record data from at least eight senators and one Congressman.
I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least eleven
members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hardline
for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer sell phone for
(02:58):
former Senator Leffler At and T inform me. They challenged
the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith back down.
So today we're making public new records that I've attained
(03:19):
through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. One hundred and ninety seven
subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith. And his team. These
subpoenas were issued to thirty four individuals and one hundred
and sixty three businesses, including financial institutions, and one of
(03:46):
the points of contact on many of these subpoenas was
that person I previously named Special Agent, Walter gear Dino.
The subpoena requested records and communications related to over four
hundred and thirty individual and organizations, all of them appear
(04:08):
to be aimed at Republicans. A subpoena to Event Strategies
requested records relating to Turning Point USA and the Republican
Attorney General's Association. One subpoena to Apple sought records relating
(04:29):
to Trump and the January sixth prison choir. Earlier this year,
I obtained emails between and among J. P. Cooney, one
of Jack Smith's prosecutors. That email exchange was March twenty
twenty three about a partisan news article on January six
(04:53):
and this is what Cooney said in the email. Can
we do some work to nail down Trump's role in this,
perhaps with the same process on Ed Henry's LLCD.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You look at what Chuck Grassley is talking about here,
and it's truly incredible. What he's describing is the Democratic
Party saying we are going to use our DOJ the FBI,
thisa whoever we need to open up investigations and then
go out and attack our political enemies. Now, this is
a direct contradictory statement of facts to what Smith had
(05:35):
said publicly. This was clearly a phishing expedition. Grassley went
on to say, standing alongside Grassley center Ron Johnson, he
called the subpoenas nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.
Take a listen to Johnson in his own words.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I think it's important to note that the records that
we are now making public in and for personal transparency,
we're not obtained from the agency. They are obtained through
a whistleblower. So from our first point is we need
more whistle blowers. We need people men and women inside
these agencies who have integrity, who want to see the
(06:17):
integrity and credibility of the Department Justice of the FBI.
We stored come forward because right now I think cash
for tail Pam BONDI are overwhelmed by all the messages
they're trying to clean up. The agencies have been lost
a lot of personnel, people simply couldn't serve the Trump administration.
It's hard to hire people because of all the lawfare,
(06:40):
and they're still partisan actors burrowed in trying to sabotage
their efforts.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
So we need whistleblowers.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
The reason they come forward to Chairman Grassley is because
he's been such a champion of whistleblowers.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So again I thank him for that. What is revealed in.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Those seventeen hundred pages of documents, in those one hundred
and ninety seven subpoenas is nothing short of a Biden
administration enemies list. You know, I'm old enough to understand
how toxic a term that was under Richard Nixon. This
is far worse, far worse, orders the magnitude worse. People
(07:16):
need to understand how politicized the bidenministration turned all these agencies.
And again, the best way to describe President Biden's attitude
his exact quotes. He thought basically half America were domestic terrorists.
In September twenty twenty two, in front of Indpenn's Hall,
he said Donald Trump and the Magan Republicans represent an
extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic. A
(07:41):
year later, in New York City. Donald Trump is mega
Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy. Now, nothing could
be further from the truth. That is a level of
paranoia that's actually astonishing. But the fact that thirty eight
Wisconsinites are on that enemy's list, I know most of
(08:04):
those individuals. They are god fearing, country loving law law,
law enforcement supporting people who want to see America succeed.
The fact that they are on a Biden administration enemies list,
we're targeted by that administration is outrageous.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It should shock every American.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And so I am calling on and I appreciate all
the members of the Juiciary Committee.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
We need to get to the bottom of this. We
need to do everything we can to assist Director Patel and.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Ag Bondie in making sure that they have the staff
to take control of these agencies, that they're the heads
of them. I don't think they have the control. I
think they're being sabotaged within. But the American people need
to understand exactly what happened. And again I'm calling on
members of Juiciary Committee to help send a grassy in
myself get to the bottom of this. You can expose
(09:01):
this so this doesn't happen again in America.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
This has to end.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You can hear Johnson there obviously very angry about what
he has witnessed and now the data that he has uncovered.
This is a massive abuse of power by the Biden
administration and it attacked anyone they thought was their political enemy.
Did you see that gold just hit an all time
new high of over four thousand dollars an ounce? And
(09:30):
if you hear that and you're like, are you kidding me?
And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity. Well, I
don't know if you missed your opportunity, But my friends
at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals they can answer that question
for you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
You also may not.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Be paying attention to the incredible gains with silver that
are happening right now as well. And that's why I
trust the guidance of the team at kirk Elliott. In fact,
I literally just got a hundred ounce bar of silver
the other day. And the reason why is because after
I talk to the team at kirk Elliott Precious Metals,
(10:03):
they let me understand exactly where I could have a
big upside in investing in silver. Now, the other part
that I love about them is this They have transparent pricing.
There are a lot of gold companies that you'll hear
about if you listen to talk radio or podcasts or
watch TV, but do they tell you how the pricing
actually works well. At Kirk Elliott they're real simple, just
(10:27):
eight percent when you buy and zero commissions when you sell,
with no hidden fees. Ever, that is the other reason
why I recommend them to all of you. They also
don't sell you quote rare coins or precious coins that
you pay insane markups on and then when you go
to sell them you find out they're really not worth
that much. They are a bollyon only approach. They focus
(10:51):
on investment grade medals, no overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
That means you get more gold or silver for.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Your money at fair value when it's time for you
to sell. So if you're ready to find out if
gold and silver is right for you in your portfolio,
then call them and get a plan.

(11:35):
PM dot com. Johnson is not the only one that
is furious about what they are uncovering. There's also other
members of Congress who were spied upon sitting members of Congress.
One of them was Senator Ted Kruz. And I want
you to hear what Senator Cruz said after he found
out that his office phone in his actual office in
(11:59):
the United State's Senate building was tapped. Why because he
was a Conservative? That was the crime. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Arctic Frost is Joe Biden's Watergate Merrick Garland was a
fundamentally corrupt Attorney General. Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor.
This was a political enemies list from the beginning, one
hundred and ninety seven subpoenas for four hundred and thirty
(12:34):
Republican entities and individuals. That is an absolute and egregious
abuse of power. The Biden Justice Department signed off on
issuing subpoenas for the phone records of at least nine
US senators, twenty percent of the Republicans in the United
(12:57):
States Senate where the target of this fishing expedition. They
did so in complete contravention of the constitution of separation
of powers, of the Speech and debate clause of free speech,
of basic rights of privacy. This is an executive who
(13:19):
believes it is justified spying on their opponents in the
legislature because they convinced themselves the ends justify the means.
I want to talk to you about one of those subpoenas.
One of those subpoenas went from Jack Smith to AT
and T seeking my cell phone communications. It went to
(13:40):
AT and T, and I actually want to commend AT
and T for doing the right thing. AT and T
is based in Texas. AT and T looked at that subpoena,
and they went to their legal council, and they said,
what should we do with that subpoena? And their legal
council said, you cannot comply because this is protected by
the speech and bait clause of the US Constitution. And
(14:04):
so AT and T declined to comply. Did not hand
over my cell phone records. Now, one might ask, ordinarily
a phone company being asked to hand over the phone
records of a sitting senator would notify that senator. Well,
there was a reason AT and T did not do so.
(14:26):
Accompanying the subpoena was an order which I have in
my hand right here, an order that was signed by
Judge James E.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Bosberg. Now, who is Boseburg?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Boseburg is that radical leftist judge who is out of control,
who has been issuing nationwide injunctions one after the other,
trying to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate
from the voters. Judge Boseburg issued an order to the
US to AT and T and sign. That order prohibited
(15:00):
AT and T from informing me of this subpoena for
at least one year. And Judge Bosburg gave the basis
for that order. And I'm going to quote from the
order Judge Boseburg signed. The Court finds reasonable grounds to
believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of or
(15:23):
tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy
to the investigation. That's an order a judge sign. Now,
I can tell you right now there is precisely zero
evidence to conclude that I am likely to destroy or
tamper with evidence or to intimidate potential witnesses, zero evidentiary
(15:48):
basis for that. This order is an abusive power. This
order is a weaponized legal system.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
My assumption we don't.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Have the subpoenas that were issued for the other senator,
but my assumption is Judge Boseburg printed these things out
like the placemats at Denny's, one after the other. We
don't know that for a fact, but I feel confident
that he concluded it's likely that Lindsey Graham would destroy evidence,
and Marsha Blackburn would destroy evidence, and Eric Schmidt would
(16:19):
destroy evidence, and Chuck Grassley would destroy evidence. If a
litigant makes a claim for which there is no factual basis,
that litigant is subject to sanctions in federal court. And
if a judge signs an order reaching a factual conclusion
for which there is zero evidence whatsoever, that judge is
abusing his power. I am right now calling on the
(16:41):
House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boseburg. Judge Boseburg put
his robe down, stood up, and said, sign me up
to be part of the partisan vendetta against twenty percent
of the Republicans in the Senate. That is a dare
election of duty and a violation of the judicial oath.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
And I want to.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Thank Chairman Grassley and Chairman Johnson for pursuing this tenaciously
like a dog on a bone. We are going to
get the answers of every person who signed off on
this abuse of power, and mark my words, there will
be accountability for these zelots who wanted to corrupt the
Department of Justice and corrupt the judiciary in order to
(17:27):
try to attack their enemy's list. That is unconstitutional, it
is immoral, and it is wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
This is Biden's Watergate. I could not agree more with
Senator Cruz when he said that earlier. I couldn't agree
more with Senator Ron Johnson when he called the subpoenas
nothing short of Biden's administration's enemies list. These subpoenas were
non public for a reason. These subpoenas were confidential grand
jury material the Grassy said he obtained through whistle blower disclosures.
(18:00):
They were trying to hide this from the current administration.
The subpoena sought certain communications with media companies as well.
We've now learned that those media companies included Fox News Channel, CBS, Sinclair, Newsmax,
and with members of aids in Congress also being put
(18:21):
under the well phishing expedition. We also know they sought
sweeping financial information from conservative entities as well. Those conservative
entities they wanted to use the federal governments to silence them,
to shut them down. This was literally an enemy's list,
(18:44):
and it was all disguised by the Democratic Party in quiet,
privately to make sure that you and I never found it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It was also designed.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
To make sure that people like Senator Cruz could not
stop it when it was happening. And why did they
not want them to know about it? Why did they
lie and say that, well, these senators who they were
spying on could not be trusted that they might try
to intimidate witnesses with no evidence to back that up.
(19:15):
Because they knew if these senators found out about this,
they would have the legal grounds to stop the Biden
administration immediately. And that is exactly why they said, Okay,
we are done. We will do it in silence, we
will do it quietly. And they were betting on winning
the next election so they'd never be held accountable for
(19:38):
what they just did. And the massive abuse of power
that they were in charge of. This was not legal
in any way. This was corruption in every way. And
now Donald Trump's administration has exposed it because of great
men and women who have risked their careers as whistle
(19:59):
blowers trusting the system. One of the things you heard
there at the very beginning was Senator Grassley and Johnson
talking about we need more whistleblowers to come forward, and
whistleblowers that are witnessing now the protections they're receiving from
the Trump administration are probably a thousand times more likely
(20:20):
to come forward than they would have during the Biden
era when they could clearly see just how corrupt they
were as a administration. One final thing about this, I
expect there is going to be even more bombshells to
come forward, more corruption that will be unearthed. And as
(20:42):
all of this corruption continues to be exposed, the question
now is who will be held accountable for it. Will
keep you updated on that, I can promise you. I
want to get you an update on the government's shutdown
because it's important. This shutdown that at twelve oh one
am on October the first is now over a month long,
(21:05):
and there were different moments where there were well saying
people that thought the shutdown would end. There were many
that believe Democrats are holding out until last week's No
King's rally to then open the government. Their psychological behavior
is well unhinged, and no one really knows what's going
to happen moving forward, even in the Democratic Party. But
(21:28):
we are now on track to become the longest government
shutdown in US history if it continues pass November fourth, Now,
the Senate has voted to reopen the government and Democrats
continue to block them. According to reporting, the Senate has
rejected a bill to reopen the government, a stopgap continuing resolution,
(21:49):
a clean cr that has now happened yet again, the
procedial vote failing fifty one to forty five to advance
the bill, which needs sixty votes. That means Democrats have
to come along to overcome the filibuster. We have also
seen Democrats now celebrating an essence Americans hurting. There have
(22:13):
even been some Democrats and Republicans that have agreed on
allowing for snap benefits to continue. Yet Democrats want this
to be painful. Why because they're hoping the majority of
Americans will be ignorant and just blame Donald Trump for everything. Well,
that brings us to the data Sann's data guru, a
(22:36):
guy by the name of Harry Hitten was caught off
guard to find what he described as a rare bright
spot for Republicans during the government's shutdown. In fact, the
polling numbers have improved for Donald Trump because the American
people are not as stupid as the Democrats were hoping.
Take a listen to what they had to say with
(22:58):
their new poll that has come out and the shock
that actually Trump's numbers have improved and not gone down
during the shutdown.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
One thing that might end a shutdown is political pain
if parties start to feel that it's hurting them. So
let's talk about that. Starting with Republicans. How is the
shutdown seem to have affected their political standing?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
You might think, given that the Republicans are in charge
of both the House and the Senate, that a government
shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, but in fact
it hasn't.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
If anything, it's been helped a little bit.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Take a look here the shift in net popularity versus
pre shutdown among the g When we're looking at the
Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's
within the margin vera. But clearly it hasn't dropped. Come
over this side of the screen. Look at the net
approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five
points since pre shutdown.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were
pre shutdown, despite the fact the Republicans control. And that's
the mat that John Thune and Mike Johnson are looking
at is, hey, why should we give electorally speaking when.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Our brand has actually improved.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
A little bit Now we say their position is getting
better with whom?
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Yeah, okay, with whom?
Speaker 9 (24:08):
So I think it's two groups that it's so important
to keep an eye out on it, all right, change
in the Republican congresses net approval rating versus pre shutdown.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
It's rallying the base, for sure.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Look at this, the net approval rating up twelve points
versus pre shutdown. But it's not just with the base,
it's also with the middle of the electorate. Look at
this among independents it's up eight points as well. So
we've got a situation here where Republicans with this shutdown
are actually rallying their base.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
But it's also something.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
That's not hurting them with the folks in the middle
of anything, it's helping them with folks in the mill.
And this is the type of math that if you're
Republicans you like to see, right, because something could rally
the base but alienate those in the middle, or something
could rally those in the middle but alienate the base.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
But the truth is we're not seeing that.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
What we're seeing is the Republican brand has actually gotten
better among independents, and it's also gotten better among Republicans
as well, that Republican brand.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
When it comes to those in Congress.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
So again, what's what's the electoral reason that Republicans would
give in at this point?
Speaker 8 (25:00):
And Democrats, of course, they have their eyes on the
midterm elections. Yeah, we have elections one week from today,
but what Democrats in Congress are mostly focused on or
one year in one week from today from the mid term.
So how do Democrats how are they positioned right now?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
So, I mean, look the general congressional ballot, which traditionally
Democrats have done really well on. And if you look
at this point back when Trump was present the first
time around, Democrats are up eleven points. Look at where
it is now. Democrats are head but they're actually only
up three points. This is, in fact, the worst position
Democrats have been on in a generic ballot at this
point in mid term when there was a Republican president
in the last twenty years. And this is no different
(25:34):
from pre shutdown. So Republicans aren't losing on this metric either.
They become more popular and they're actually in a pretty
good position for them historically when it comes to.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
The generic congressional ballot.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
This is a concerning number for Democrats.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
If you say, this is a concerning number for Democrats
because it's considerably worse than they traditionally do in midterm
elections when there's a Republican president.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Now, if Democrats were sane, they would hear these numbers
from CNN and say, Okay, it's time to end the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
It's not going in our favor.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But you have to understand that they want this shutdown
to hurt they want small businesses to be destroyed. In fact,
Small Business Administrator Kelly Lefler has said this on Fox
Business with Larry Kudlow about what the intended effects of
the government shutdown for the Democrats may actually be, and
it's to put you out of business.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Straight You're here to tell me I think that the
shutdowns killing small businesses. But Pardner, this whole show is
very bullished. The stock market is booming, the economy is
growing in close to four percent. How bad can it
be for small business? I mean, the shutdown thing, you
know whatever. We should be pulling the trigger on those
two point zero and reduce spending. But really, you'd think
(26:46):
small business is really hurting now.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Well, look, Larry, prior to this shutdown, as of September,
small business confidence hit a seven year high. Not since
President Trump's first term had small business felt so confident
in the economy. And that's all thanks to President Trump's
economic agenda, which by the way, is a supply side
agenda that I know you support. It's free and fair trade,
it's low taxes, it's deregulation, it's access to capital. And
(27:10):
because of their confidence in twenty twenty five, the fiscal
year we just wrapped up twenty seven days ago, the
SBA broke through a seventy two year lending record, surpassing
forty five billion to eighty five thousand small businesses across
this country because they believe in President Trump's economic agenda
of drill baby, drill making sure that we have the
(27:32):
supply chains we need and restoring American manufacturing. They were
quite bullish heading into this shutdown. But look, this shutdown
is having the intended effect by the Democrats. They want
to hurt Main Street and that's what they're trying to
do right now.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Well, you make a point. The National Federation of the
Independent Business Survey that may be what you're talking about.
It did drop. I mean, it was one hundred point
eight in August. The last reading is ninety eight point
eight in September a year ago was only ninety one
point five. But really, I mean, with all the things
(28:06):
in the one big beautiful bill, and you're seeing a
fabulous stock market. Now these are small businesses, they're not
necessarily publicly owned businesses, but I you know, I think
the future is very, very bright. You have tremendous tax
incentives in that bill. Kelly Leffler, I mean, I want
to shut down the end too, and I think the
(28:26):
Democrats are all wrong, and we're going to make fun
of it in the next segment. But the fact of
the matter is the ecomomy's booming and the stock market
is telling us that, and I you know, I want
you to you're growing at four percent three point nine
percent in the second and third quarters according to the
Atlanta FED. That's pretty good, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You listen to Kudler there and what he's saying, as
the government shut down drags into a month and it
could go to the longest shutdown in history, and yes,
the government shutdown is having the intended effects by Democrats.
They want to shut down in her small business owners.
They want you to not be able to pay for
food if you're on food stamps. They want you to
(29:06):
suffer so that then maybe you'll decide that somehow this shutdown,
which is clearly the Democrat's fault and their plan, will
then somehow turn to you blaming the Republicans for it.
That is the key here for them. This is what
they want to happen. They want you to just get
(29:26):
so angry that you finally just say to Republicans, all right,
screw it. Give the hostages the Democratic Party what they
demand so that I get whatever relief I want right
now now. One other thing about this government shutdown that
I also think is an important point to make. The
Republicans seem to be doing a much better job of
(29:50):
explaining this shutdown, why it's happening, and who's behind it
than they have done in the past. They seem to
be much more focused on it, and the American people
seem to understand it now better than they ever have before.
A lot of this goes back to what's happening in
this country. On another issue, law and order, the Republican
(30:12):
Party has an incredible job explaining why law and order
is important, why we should make sure that the men
and women who are in this country illegally should be
found and deported, and how many criminal aliens there are.
This subject right now is literally no different than that.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
This subject is the same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You have a Democratic Party that is holding Americans hostage
because they lost their power, and when they lost their power,
they decided this was the game plan. It is to
hurt Americans and try to make you just beg for
some sort of relief, even if that means a terrible
deal overall for the future of this country and the
(30:59):
American people. Which brings us to looking forward, how long
will the shutdown last? Honestly, when you're dealing with these
types of people that are holding you hostage, there's no
way to tell. There's no way to know there's no
way to know what they're going to do next, and
if they're going to listen to you, the one thing
(31:21):
I can tell you is it's time to start getting
on the phone, calling your congressman, calling your senators and
explaining to them, if they're Republicans, you stand with them,
and if they're Democrats voting against reopening the government, that
you're going to hold them accountable in the future. I
do think the American people are understanding one thing right now.
(31:42):
The Democratic Party is not listening to the American voters
at all, and when they don't get their way, their
goal and objective is to go rogue because they don't
respect the laws or the will of the American people.
Don't forget to share this podcast, by the way, with
your family and your friends on social media wherever you
can hit that subscribe or auto download
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Button, and I'll talk to you again tomorrow.
If you missed yesterday's show, you need to go back
and listen to the podcast, because what was a big
story then has now gone into a nuclear bomb today.
Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican from Iowa, has now released
one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas that the Biden administration's
(00:23):
FBI used to seek testimony and documents related to hundreds
of Republicans and GOP entities as part of the bureau's
Arctic Frost probe, the prosecutor to former Special Council Jack
Smith's election investigation, which now is in essence a hit list,
(00:46):
a target list, a black book of influential conservatives and
members of Congress who they wanted to target. Arctic Frost
was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agent Chuck Grassey
said and DJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican
(01:08):
political apparatus. I want you to hear exactly what Chuck
Grassey had to say at this press conference. It is shocking,
and now we know just how corrupt the Democratic Party
was under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
A little bit of history before I get to what
we're releasing today. I started the investigation into Arctic Frost
July twenty twenty two, based on whistleblower disclosures. Based on
these disclosures, we know that weaponize taxpayer funded agents and
(01:48):
prosecutors advanced the investigation. As Artic Frost advanced. Ninety two
Republican organizations or individuals were targeted, not just Trump, and
they were added to its scope and author of that
(02:11):
targeting list with special agent Washin Walter Jaredino. He's the
same weaponized agent who was involved in other cases against Republicans,
including Peter Navarro. We've learned Jack Smith secretly obtained phone
(02:35):
record data from at least eight senators and one Congressman.
I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least eleven
members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hardline
for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer sell phone for
(02:58):
former Senator Leffler At and T inform me. They challenged
the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith back down.
So today we're making public new records that I've attained
(03:19):
through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. One hundred and ninety seven
subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith. And his team. These
subpoenas were issued to thirty four individuals and one hundred
and sixty three businesses, including financial institutions, and one of
(03:46):
the points of contact on many of these subpoenas was
that person I previously named Special Agent, Walter gear Dino.
The subpoena requested records and communications related to over four
hundred and thirty individual and organizations, all of them appear
(04:08):
to be aimed at Republicans. A subpoena to Event Strategies
requested records relating to Turning Point USA and the Republican
Attorney General's Association. One subpoena to Apple sought records relating
(04:29):
to Trump and the January sixth prison choir. Earlier this year,
I obtained emails between and among J. P. Cooney, one
of Jack Smith's prosecutors. That email exchange was March twenty
twenty three about a partisan news article on January six
(04:53):
and this is what Cooney said in the email. Can
we do some work to nail down Trump's role in this,
perhaps with the same process on Ed Henry's LLCD.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You look at what Chuck Grassley is talking about here,
and it's truly incredible. What he's describing is the Democratic
Party saying we are going to use our DOJ the FBI,
thisa whoever we need to open up investigations and then
go out and attack our political enemies. Now, this is
a direct contradictory statement of facts to what Smith had
(05:35):
said publicly. This was clearly a phishing expedition. Grassley went
on to say, standing alongside Grassley center Ron Johnson, he
called the subpoenas nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.
Take a listen to Johnson in his own words.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I think it's important to note that the records that
we are now making public in and for personal transparency,
we're not obtained from the agency. They are obtained through
a whistleblower. So from our first point is we need
more whistle blowers. We need people men and women inside
these agencies who have integrity, who want to see the
(06:17):
integrity and credibility of the Department Justice of the FBI.
We stored come forward because right now I think cash
for tail Pam BONDI are overwhelmed by all the messages
they're trying to clean up. The agencies have been lost
a lot of personnel, people simply couldn't serve the Trump administration.
It's hard to hire people because of all the lawfare,
(06:40):
and they're still partisan actors burrowed in trying to sabotage
their efforts.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
So we need whistleblowers.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
The reason they come forward to Chairman Grassley is because
he's been such a champion of whistleblowers.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So again I thank him for that. What is revealed in.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Those seventeen hundred pages of documents, in those one hundred
and ninety seven subpoenas is nothing short of a Biden
administration enemies list. You know, I'm old enough to understand
how toxic a term that was under Richard Nixon. This
is far worse, far worse, orders the magnitude worse. People
(07:16):
need to understand how politicized the bidenministration turned all these agencies.
And again, the best way to describe President Biden's attitude
his exact quotes. He thought basically half America were domestic terrorists.
In September twenty twenty two, in front of Indpenn's Hall,
he said Donald Trump and the Magan Republicans represent an
extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic. A
(07:41):
year later, in New York City. Donald Trump is mega
Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy. Now, nothing could
be further from the truth. That is a level of
paranoia that's actually astonishing. But the fact that thirty eight
Wisconsinites are on that enemy's list, I know most of
(08:04):
those individuals. They are god fearing, country loving law law,
law enforcement supporting people who want to see America succeed.
The fact that they are on a Biden administration enemies list,
we're targeted by that administration is outrageous.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It should shock every American.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And so I am calling on and I appreciate all
the members of the Juiciary Committee.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
We need to get to the bottom of this. We
need to do everything we can to assist Director Patel and.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Ag Bondie in making sure that they have the staff
to take control of these agencies, that they're the heads
of them. I don't think they have the control. I
think they're being sabotaged within. But the American people need
to understand exactly what happened. And again I'm calling on
members of Juiciary Committee to help send a grassy in
myself get to the bottom of this. You can expose
(09:01):
this so this doesn't happen again in America.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
This has to end.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You can hear Johnson there obviously very angry about what
he has witnessed and now the data that he has uncovered.
This is a massive abuse of power by the Biden
administration and it attacked anyone they thought was their political enemy.
Did you see that gold just hit an all time
new high of over four thousand dollars an ounce? And
(09:30):
if you hear that and you're like, are you kidding me?
And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity. Well, I
don't know if you missed your opportunity, But my friends
at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals they can answer that question
for you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
You also may not.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Be paying attention to the incredible gains with silver that
are happening right now as well. And that's why I
trust the guidance of the team at kirk Elliott. In fact,
I literally just got a hundred ounce bar of silver
the other day. And the reason why is because after
I talk to the team at kirk Elliott Precious Metals,
(10:03):
they let me understand exactly where I could have a
big upside in investing in silver. Now, the other part
that I love about them is this They have transparent pricing.
There are a lot of gold companies that you'll hear
about if you listen to talk radio or podcasts or
watch TV, but do they tell you how the pricing
actually works well. At Kirk Elliott they're real simple, just
(10:27):
eight percent when you buy and zero commissions when you sell,
with no hidden fees. Ever, that is the other reason
why I recommend them to all of you. They also
don't sell you quote rare coins or precious coins that
you pay insane markups on and then when you go
to sell them you find out they're really not worth
that much. They are a bollyon only approach. They focus
(10:51):
on investment grade medals, no overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
That means you get more gold or silver for.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Your money at fair value when it's time for you
to sell. So if you're ready to find out if
gold and silver is right for you in your portfolio,
then call them and get a plan.

is furious about what they are uncovering. There's also other
members of Congress who were spied upon sitting members of Congress.
One of them was Senator Ted Kruz. And I want
you to hear what Senator Cruz said after he found
out that his office phone in his actual office in
(11:59):
the United State's Senate building was tapped. Why because he
was a Conservative? That was the crime. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Arctic Frost is Joe Biden's Watergate Merrick Garland was a
fundamentally corrupt Attorney General. Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor.
This was a political enemies list from the beginning, one
hundred and ninety seven subpoenas for four hundred and thirty
(12:34):
Republican entities and individuals. That is an absolute and egregious
abuse of power. The Biden Justice Department signed off on
issuing subpoenas for the phone records of at least nine
US senators, twenty percent of the Republicans in the United
(12:57):
States Senate where the target of this fishing expedition. They
did so in complete contravention of the constitution of separation
of powers, of the Speech and debate clause of free speech,
of basic rights of privacy. This is an executive who
(13:19):
believes it is justified spying on their opponents in the
legislature because they convinced themselves the ends justify the means.
I want to talk to you about one of those subpoenas.
One of those subpoenas went from Jack Smith to AT
and T seeking my cell phone communications. It went to
(13:40):
AT and T, and I actually want to commend AT
and T for doing the right thing. AT and T
is based in Texas. AT and T looked at that subpoena,
and they went to their legal council, and they said,
what should we do with that subpoena? And their legal
council said, you cannot comply because this is protected by
the speech and bait clause of the US Constitution. And
(14:04):
so AT and T declined to comply. Did not hand
over my cell phone records. Now, one might ask, ordinarily
a phone company being asked to hand over the phone
records of a sitting senator would notify that senator. Well,
there was a reason AT and T did not do so.
(14:26):
Accompanying the subpoena was an order which I have in
my hand right here, an order that was signed by
Judge James E.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Bosberg. Now, who is Boseburg?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Boseburg is that radical leftist judge who is out of control,
who has been issuing nationwide injunctions one after the other,
trying to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate
from the voters. Judge Boseburg issued an order to the
US to AT and T and sign. That order prohibited
(15:00):
AT and T from informing me of this subpoena for
at least one year. And Judge Bosburg gave the basis
for that order. And I'm going to quote from the
order Judge Boseburg signed. The Court finds reasonable grounds to
believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of or
(15:23):
tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy
to the investigation. That's an order a judge sign. Now,
I can tell you right now there is precisely zero
evidence to conclude that I am likely to destroy or
tamper with evidence or to intimidate potential witnesses, zero evidentiary
(15:48):
basis for that. This order is an abusive power. This
order is a weaponized legal system.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
My assumption we don't.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Have the subpoenas that were issued for the other senator,
but my assumption is Judge Boseburg printed these things out
like the placemats at Denny's, one after the other. We
don't know that for a fact, but I feel confident
that he concluded it's likely that Lindsey Graham would destroy evidence,
and Marsha Blackburn would destroy evidence, and Eric Schmidt would
(16:19):
destroy evidence, and Chuck Grassley would destroy evidence. If a
litigant makes a claim for which there is no factual basis,
that litigant is subject to sanctions in federal court. And
if a judge signs an order reaching a factual conclusion
for which there is zero evidence whatsoever, that judge is
abusing his power. I am right now calling on the
(16:41):
House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boseburg. Judge Boseburg put
his robe down, stood up, and said, sign me up
to be part of the partisan vendetta against twenty percent
of the Republicans in the Senate. That is a dare
election of duty and a violation of the judicial oath.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
And I want to.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Thank Chairman Grassley and Chairman Johnson for pursuing this tenaciously
like a dog on a bone. We are going to
get the answers of every person who signed off on
this abuse of power, and mark my words, there will
be accountability for these zelots who wanted to corrupt the
Department of Justice and corrupt the judiciary in order to
(17:27):
try to attack their enemy's list. That is unconstitutional, it
is immoral, and it is wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
This is Biden's Watergate. I could not agree more with
Senator Cruz when he said that earlier. I couldn't agree
more with Senator Ron Johnson when he called the subpoenas
nothing short of Biden's administration's enemies list. These subpoenas were
non public for a reason. These subpoenas were confidential grand
jury material the Grassy said he obtained through whistle blower disclosures.
(18:00):
They were trying to hide this from the current administration.
The subpoena sought certain communications with media companies as well.
We've now learned that those media companies included Fox News Channel, CBS, Sinclair, Newsmax,
and with members of aids in Congress also being put
(18:21):
under the well phishing expedition. We also know they sought
sweeping financial information from conservative entities as well. Those conservative
entities they wanted to use the federal governments to silence them,
to shut them down. This was literally an enemy's list,
(18:44):
and it was all disguised by the Democratic Party in quiet,
privately to make sure that you and I never found it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It was also designed.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
To make sure that people like Senator Cruz could not
stop it when it was happening. And why did they
not want them to know about it? Why did they
lie and say that, well, these senators who they were
spying on could not be trusted that they might try
to intimidate witnesses with no evidence to back that up.
(19:15):
Because they knew if these senators found out about this,
they would have the legal grounds to stop the Biden
administration immediately. And that is exactly why they said, Okay,
we are done. We will do it in silence, we
will do it quietly. And they were betting on winning
the next election so they'd never be held accountable for
(19:38):
what they just did. And the massive abuse of power
that they were in charge of. This was not legal
in any way. This was corruption in every way. And
now Donald Trump's administration has exposed it because of great
men and women who have risked their careers as whistle
(19:59):
blowers trusting the system. One of the things you heard
there at the very beginning was Senator Grassley and Johnson
talking about we need more whistleblowers to come forward, and
whistleblowers that are witnessing now the protections they're receiving from
the Trump administration are probably a thousand times more likely
(20:20):
to come forward than they would have during the Biden
era when they could clearly see just how corrupt they
were as a administration. One final thing about this, I
expect there is going to be even more bombshells to
come forward, more corruption that will be unearthed. And as
(20:42):
all of this corruption continues to be exposed, the question
now is who will be held accountable for it. Will
keep you updated on that, I can promise you. I
want to get you an update on the government's shutdown
because it's important. This shutdown that at twelve oh one
am on October the first is now over a month long,
(21:05):
and there were different moments where there were well saying
people that thought the shutdown would end. There were many
that believe Democrats are holding out until last week's No
King's rally to then open the government. Their psychological behavior
is well unhinged, and no one really knows what's going
to happen moving forward, even in the Democratic Party. But
(21:28):
we are now on track to become the longest government
shutdown in US history if it continues pass November fourth, Now,
the Senate has voted to reopen the government and Democrats
continue to block them. According to reporting, the Senate has
rejected a bill to reopen the government, a stopgap continuing resolution,
(21:49):
a clean cr that has now happened yet again, the
procedial vote failing fifty one to forty five to advance
the bill, which needs sixty votes. That means Democrats have
to come along to overcome the filibuster. We have also
seen Democrats now celebrating an essence Americans hurting. There have
(22:13):
even been some Democrats and Republicans that have agreed on
allowing for snap benefits to continue. Yet Democrats want this
to be painful. Why because they're hoping the majority of
Americans will be ignorant and just blame Donald Trump for everything. Well,
that brings us to the data Sann's data guru, a
(22:36):
guy by the name of Harry Hitten was caught off
guard to find what he described as a rare bright
spot for Republicans during the government's shutdown. In fact, the
polling numbers have improved for Donald Trump because the American
people are not as stupid as the Democrats were hoping.
Take a listen to what they had to say with
(22:58):
their new poll that has come out and the shock
that actually Trump's numbers have improved and not gone down
during the shutdown.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
One thing that might end a shutdown is political pain
if parties start to feel that it's hurting them. So
let's talk about that. Starting with Republicans. How is the
shutdown seem to have affected their political standing?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
You might think, given that the Republicans are in charge
of both the House and the Senate, that a government
shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, but in fact
it hasn't.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
If anything, it's been helped a little bit.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Take a look here the shift in net popularity versus
pre shutdown among the g When we're looking at the
Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's
within the margin vera. But clearly it hasn't dropped. Come
over this side of the screen. Look at the net
approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five
points since pre shutdown.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were
pre shutdown, despite the fact the Republicans control. And that's
the mat that John Thune and Mike Johnson are looking
at is, hey, why should we give electorally speaking when.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Our brand has actually improved.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
A little bit Now we say their position is getting
better with whom?
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Yeah, okay, with whom?
Speaker 9 (24:08):
So I think it's two groups that it's so important
to keep an eye out on it, all right, change
in the Republican congresses net approval rating versus pre shutdown.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
It's rallying the base, for sure.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Look at this, the net approval rating up twelve points
versus pre shutdown. But it's not just with the base,
it's also with the middle of the electorate. Look at
this among independents it's up eight points as well. So
we've got a situation here where Republicans with this shutdown
are actually rallying their base.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
But it's also something.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
That's not hurting them with the folks in the middle
of anything, it's helping them with folks in the mill.
And this is the type of math that if you're
Republicans you like to see, right, because something could rally
the base but alienate those in the middle, or something
could rally those in the middle but alienate the base.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
But the truth is we're not seeing that.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
What we're seeing is the Republican brand has actually gotten
better among independents, and it's also gotten better among Republicans
as well, that Republican brand.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
When it comes to those in Congress.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
So again, what's what's the electoral reason that Republicans would
give in at this point?
Speaker 8 (25:00):
And Democrats, of course, they have their eyes on the
midterm elections. Yeah, we have elections one week from today,
but what Democrats in Congress are mostly focused on or
one year in one week from today from the mid term.
So how do Democrats how are they positioned right now?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
So, I mean, look the general congressional ballot, which traditionally
Democrats have done really well on. And if you look
at this point back when Trump was present the first
time around, Democrats are up eleven points. Look at where
it is now. Democrats are head but they're actually only
up three points. This is, in fact, the worst position
Democrats have been on in a generic ballot at this
point in mid term when there was a Republican president
in the last twenty years. And this is no different
(25:34):
from pre shutdown. So Republicans aren't losing on this metric either.
They become more popular and they're actually in a pretty
good position for them historically when it comes to.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
The generic congressional ballot.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
This is a concerning number for Democrats.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
If you say, this is a concerning number for Democrats
because it's considerably worse than they traditionally do in midterm
elections when there's a Republican president.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Now, if Democrats were sane, they would hear these numbers
from CNN and say, Okay, it's time to end the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
It's not going in our favor.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But you have to understand that they want this shutdown
to hurt they want small businesses to be destroyed. In fact,
Small Business Administrator Kelly Lefler has said this on Fox
Business with Larry Kudlow about what the intended effects of
the government shutdown for the Democrats may actually be, and
it's to put you out of business.
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Straight You're here to tell me I think that the
shutdowns killing small businesses. But Pardner, this whole show is
very bullished. The stock market is booming, the economy is
growing in close to four percent. How bad can it
be for small business? I mean, the shutdown thing, you
know whatever. We should be pulling the trigger on those
two point zero and reduce spending. But really, you'd think
(26:46):
small business is really hurting now.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Well, look, Larry, prior to this shutdown, as of September,
small business confidence hit a seven year high. Not since
President Trump's first term had small business felt so confident
in the economy. And that's all thanks to President Trump's
economic agenda, which by the way, is a supply side
agenda that I know you support. It's free and fair trade,
it's low taxes, it's deregulation, it's access to capital. And
(27:10):
because of their confidence in twenty twenty five, the fiscal
year we just wrapped up twenty seven days ago, the
SBA broke through a seventy two year lending record, surpassing
forty five billion to eighty five thousand small businesses across
this country because they believe in President Trump's economic agenda
of drill baby, drill making sure that we have the
(27:32):
supply chains we need and restoring American manufacturing. They were
quite bullish heading into this shutdown. But look, this shutdown
is having the intended effect by the Democrats. They want
to hurt Main Street and that's what they're trying to
do right now.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Well, you make a point. The National Federation of the
Independent Business Survey that may be what you're talking about.
It did drop. I mean, it was one hundred point
eight in August. The last reading is ninety eight point
eight in September a year ago was only ninety one
point five. But really, I mean, with all the things
(28:06):
in the one big beautiful bill, and you're seeing a
fabulous stock market. Now these are small businesses, they're not
necessarily publicly owned businesses, but I you know, I think
the future is very, very bright. You have tremendous tax
incentives in that bill. Kelly Leffler, I mean, I want
to shut down the end too, and I think the
(28:26):
Democrats are all wrong, and we're going to make fun
of it in the next segment. But the fact of
the matter is the ecomomy's booming and the stock market
is telling us that, and I you know, I want
you to you're growing at four percent three point nine
percent in the second and third quarters according to the
Atlanta FED. That's pretty good, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You listen to Kudler there and what he's saying, as
the government shut down drags into a month and it
could go to the longest shutdown in history, and yes,
the government shutdown is having the intended effects by Democrats.
They want to shut down in her small business owners.
They want you to not be able to pay for
food if you're on food stamps. They want you to
(29:06):
suffer so that then maybe you'll decide that somehow this shutdown,
which is clearly the Democrat's fault and their plan, will
then somehow turn to you blaming the Republicans for it.
That is the key here for them. This is what
they want to happen. They want you to just get
(29:26):
so angry that you finally just say to Republicans, all right,
screw it. Give the hostages the Democratic Party what they
demand so that I get whatever relief I want right
now now. One other thing about this government shutdown that
I also think is an important point to make. The
Republicans seem to be doing a much better job of
(29:50):
explaining this shutdown, why it's happening, and who's behind it
than they have done in the past. They seem to
be much more focused on it, and the American people
seem to understand it now better than they ever have before.
A lot of this goes back to what's happening in
this country. On another issue, law and order, the Republican
(30:12):
Party has an incredible job explaining why law and order
is important, why we should make sure that the men
and women who are in this country illegally should be
found and deported, and how many criminal aliens there are.
This subject right now is literally no different than that.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
This subject is the same thing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You have a Democratic Party that is holding Americans hostage
because they lost their power, and when they lost their power,
they decided this was the game plan. It is to
hurt Americans and try to make you just beg for
some sort of relief, even if that means a terrible
deal overall for the future of this country and the
(30:59):
American people. Which brings us to looking forward, how long
will the shutdown last? Honestly, when you're dealing with these
types of people that are holding you hostage, there's no
way to tell. There's no way to know there's no
way to know what they're going to do next, and
if they're going to listen to you, the one thing
(31:21):
I can tell you is it's time to start getting
on the phone, calling your congressman, calling your senators and
explaining to them, if they're Republicans, you stand with them,
and if they're Democrats voting against reopening the government, that
you're going to hold them accountable in the future. I
do think the American people are understanding one thing right now.
(31:42):
The Democratic Party is not listening to the American voters
at all, and when they don't get their way, their
goal and objective is to go rogue because they don't
respect the laws or the will of the American people.
