Good Saturday morning to you.
Speaker 7 (00:18):
Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
stories that you may have missed that we talked about
this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
at the FBI, they're cleaning house and we're now finding
out much more about just how corrupt the deep state
has actually been.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
We're going to break down what's happening.
Speaker 7 (00:35):
Now and hear from Miranda Devine about what this means
for the future.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
At the FBI.
Speaker 7 (00:42):
Also, Adam Schiff in big trouble, new accusations coming out
from a Democrat that he purposely leaked classified information to
undermine and overthrow the Trump presidency back in two thousand

Speaker 7 (01:01):
One hundred thousand Americans have said we want to work

Speaker 7 (01:09):
Nationwide, more than one hundred thousand Americans have applied for
just ten thousand jobs. I'll give you the details on
how big of a deal that is in just a moment.
All right, I want to take a moment talk about
the economy. You've been seeing what's happening on Wall Street,
You've seen what's been happening with interest rates, and you've
probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs. Why
(01:31):
because there is uncertainty all over the world right now,
and when there is uncertain times, you want real answers
about your financial stability. Well, at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals,

it's time for you to actually sell. They also have
upfront transparent pricing, just eight percent when you buy and
zero commissions when you go to sell. There are no

Kurt Elliott Precious Metals Smarter Metal Investing starts with them.
(03:37):
It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Story number one, Cashpattel seems to be cleaning house at
the FBI.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yes, that's exactly what is happening now.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Is Patel has decided it is time to make sure
he has good people working there. We're into Divine went
on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox News Sunday and had
this to say about what's going on at the FBI.
You also hear some audio from Dan Bongino and Cashpertel
in an earlier interview they did at the very beginning,
(04:10):
I want you to listen carefully to what they're saying
about what we're doing now.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
To get to the bottom of something like January sixth,
in the pipe bomber case, for example, you need three things.
You need people, you need information, and you need people
with information. I'll allow the public to put that together
and just wait and you'll see nothing we're doing. Nothing
is by accident.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Dan and I have already told the FBI every employee
that acted appropriately, we are going to defend you to
the hill, literally, no matter the consequences. And that was
FBI Director Cash Burtel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino with
me and my exclusive on the FBI back in May
earlier this year. As more heads rolled at the FBI
this past week, former FBI Acting Director Brian Driscoll and
(04:53):
special Agent Walter Giardina were forced out, among others forced out.
Driscoll oversaw the January or a sixth investigation, while Giordina
worked on cases against President Trump and Peter Navarro, the
trade executive in the White House who was ultimately convicted
and sent to prison. Joining me now with more on
all of this is near close Palmist and Fox News
(05:14):
contributor Miranda Devine. Miranda, great to see you. Literally, it's
been a decade of scandals led by the Democrats. But
first get you you want to get your take on
these FBI changes. First they promoted Driscoll and then they
asked him to leave.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yes, and also Stephen Jensen and Walter gr Dina, and
these people were all involved in the politicization of the
FBI under Joe Biden and Christopher Ray, attacking and persecuting
Trump allies and people who had worked for Trump, including
(05:49):
the Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon being jailed for contempt
of Nancy Pelosi effectively and the January sixth defendants.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Steve even Jensen was in charge.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Of the most over zealous prosecution, persecution investigation of these
Trump allies, and so I think it was long overdue really.
I was surprised that they lasted as long as they did,
but I think it's great that finally Cash Patel has
cleaned house. And I assume and your interview with Patel
(06:28):
and Dan Bongino is the only record of this. But
there was method in the madness that there was a
reason to keep them close for the first six months
and now to remove them summarily.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Marie, do what's your chake and what we're seeing? Are
we finally seeing some signals of some accountability. We've been
waiting for accountability, from the Russia collusion nonsense to the
impeachments of Trump, the laptop from how how do you
see things now?
Speaker 8 (06:56):
That's a really good question, Maria, and I think we're
seeing reallyitive signs. There just seems to be a systematic,
very orderly procession of investigations and subpoenas and grand juries.
We saw on Friday that Leticia James, the Attorney General
(07:17):
of New York, who prosecuted Trump every which way she
could find, as well as the notorious Adam Schiff, who
of course was now is a Senator but then was
a congressman who led a lot of the Russia hoax nonsense.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Back in Trump's first term.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
And is really somebody like Letitia James who continues to
mouth the refrain no one is above the law.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Well, they've found out that they're not above the law.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Because Pam Bondi, the Attorney General appointed on Thursday night
Ed Martin as the special Attorney to investigate these two,
he can bring up grand juries wherever he likes, and
he's done so. Grand Juries are looking at Adam Schiff
(08:09):
and Leticia James in Maryland and in Virginia on allegations
of mortgage fraud, also bank fraud and wire fraud, and
these charges if convicted on them, they would serve up
to thirty years in jail.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So it's a serious accountability.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Yeah, I want to ask.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
You more, a serious accountability. That is all that we're
asking for here is that you take a look at
all of this and you say, were their actual laws
that were broken? That is what Miranda Devine is saying,
is a real possibility that there are real laws that
were broken, real corruption that we can clearly see. And
(08:49):
because there is real corruption, there are real laws that
may have been broken, there should be accountability.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
This is all that.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
The President United States and mayor has been asking for,
which is, Hey, FBI, do your job. Take a look
at all of these things, see what happened, and if
there is something there, hold those accountable for their actions. Now,
you look at the weaponization of our government, the weaponization
of our deep state. You look at how it was
(09:20):
weaponized to take out political opponents.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
You'll get Letitia James. You look at those in around Biden.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
You look at so many that were just involved in
incredible levels of corruption, and they all thought they could
get away with it because no one would ever come knocking.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Remember it.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
They were the ones that were knocking on the doors,
raiding people's homes, even going into the President.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Of the United States of America's house. Never ever forget that.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Next story number two, in a bombshell report, a Democratic
whistleblower has come forward a long time staffer on the
House Intelligence Committee and told the FBI back in December
of twenty seventeen, during Donald Trump's first year in office,
that then Representative Adam Shift authorized the leaking of classified
(10:12):
information during the Russia Gate investigation to discredit President Donald Trump,
believing that he would be appointed CIA director under a
potential Hillary Clinton presidency. In meetings Adam Shift allegedly stated
the leaks would be used to indict President Trump. When
(10:32):
the whistleblower objected, others reportedly reassured him that they would
not quote be caught. The whistleblower described a system where
sense of material was funneled to Shift and then selectively
leaked to the press. One document allegedly seen by a
small group including Shift and Representative Eric Swalwell, you remember
(10:56):
the congressman that was literally sleeping with a Chinese spy,
was leaked almost verbatim within a day. The whistle blower
labeled these actions unethical and potentially treason US and sought
FBI involvement that the Department of Justice reportedly declined to
pursue the investigation further. The White House Press secretary calling
(11:17):
the report a bombshell, signing the newly released FBI documentation
about the whistleblower's account. Here's more of what Caroline Levitt
had to say when she was asked about it in
the White House briefing room BEKA.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thanks Caroline. My question involves Russia Gate. A whistleblower alleges
that the Congressman Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information to
smear President Trump's image during the Russia Gate out scandal
as the President planned to investigate Adam Schiff and what
would accountability look like if more information.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Confirms this support. The President has already said he wants
to see Adam Schiff held accountable for the countless lies
he told the American people in relation to the Russia
Gate scandal. I brought Tulsey Gabbert out to this podium
to talk to you about all of that, and this
administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this new
FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pttel last night declassified
(12:09):
a three h two FBI document showing that a whistleblower
who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who worked
for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more than
a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen that
then Rep. Adams Shiff had approved leaking classified information to
smear then President Donald Trump over the Russiagate scandal. This
(12:34):
is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people in
this room will cover it as such. And I have
a quote from the FBI director for all of you.
He has said this for years, certain officials use their
positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.
It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
(12:57):
trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on,
and hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
whistleblower allegation. If this were reversed, if if this were
(13:20):
allegations against the President or any of these cabinet officials,
I'm sure everyone in this room would cover it.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
As such, this is obviously a major story that the
media doesn't want to cover, but we're going to keep
you informed on it, and we're going to make sure
you know exactly what's happening every step of the way.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And finally, story number three.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Donald Trump has done something that's truly incredible, allow law
enforcement to do their jobs, and now Americans are signing
up in record numbers to get in on law and order.
We now have found out that over one hundred thousand
Americans have submitted applications for jobs at the US Immigration
and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, follow the launch of
(14:00):
a Department of Homelanned Security hiring campaign in late July.
The Trump administration initiatives seeks to add ten thousand more
ICE personnel. Because of the tens of millions of illegal
immigrants that are in this country, ICE agents are needed,
and now they're offering major perks as well and even
easing some of the qualification restrictions to make sure that
(14:21):
we get incredible people that are willing to work within ICE.
This is one of the best parts of all of
what Donald Trump has done. In a statement, the Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes stress the significance of
the hiring push, saying, quote, this is a defining moment
in our nation's history. Your skills, your experience, and your
courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend
(14:44):
the Homeland No emphasize that ICE agents are responsible for
deporting the worst of the worst criminals from the United
States of America. To draw in applicants, ICE is providing
sign on bonuses as high as fifty thousand dollars along
with programs for re paying or for giving student loans
and additional perks. This hiring campaign occurs amid DHS statistics
(15:07):
showing an eight hundred and thirty percent surge in attacks
on ICE agents, a number that no medicated has now
climbed to one thousand percent because the radical left demonizing
law and order. The acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has
drawn also attention to the difficulties ICE agents are enduring
(15:28):
and encountering in the public Because of the open border
policies of the former Biden Harris government. The dedicated men
and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges and removing
millions of criminal legal aliens from our country, and that's
exactly why they're trying to hire ten thousand new individuals now.
The ICE hiring portal features various positions such as deportation Officer,
(15:53):
criminal investigator, and general attorney, and it also clearly responds
to the occupational has noting that agents are quote expertly
trained and that all possible measures are implemented to protect them.
Every candidate for law enforcement position will be subject to
health evaluations, substance screenings, and fitness tests during recruitment. This
(16:15):
is exactly why they've received more than one hundred thousand
applicants because so many people are willing to fight to
protect this country when they know the commander in chief
is backing them up. And that's exactly what you're getting
from President Trump.

pursue the investigation further. The White House Press secretary calling
(11:17):
the report a bombshell, signing the newly released FBI documentation
about the whistleblower's account. Here's more of what Caroline Levitt
had to say when she was asked about it in
the White House briefing room BEKA.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thanks Caroline. My question involves Russia Gate. A whistleblower alleges
that the Congressman Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information to
smear President Trump's image during the Russia Gate out scandal
as the President planned to investigate Adam Schiff and what
would accountability look like if more information.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Confirms this support. The President has already said he wants
to see Adam Schiff held accountable for the countless lies
he told the American people in relation to the Russia
Gate scandal. I brought Tulsey Gabbert out to this podium
to talk to you about all of that, and this
administration is taking accountability very seriously. As for this new
FBI whistleblower report, I understand cash Pttel last night declassified
(12:09):
a three h two FBI document showing that a whistleblower
who is a Democrat, a career intelligence officer who worked
for Democrats on the House Intel Committee for more than
a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI in twenty seventeen that
then Rep. Adams Shiff had approved leaking classified information to
smear then President Donald Trump over the Russiagate scandal. This
(12:34):
is obviously a bombshell whistleblower report. Hopefully more people in
this room will cover it as such. And I have
a quote from the FBI director for all of you.
He has said this for years, certain officials use their
positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives.
It was all done with one purpose, to weaponize intelligence
and law enforcement for political gain. Those abuses eroded public
(12:57):
trust in our institutions. The FBI will now lead the charge,
with our partners at DOJ and Congress will have the
chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized
and to restore accountability. That's what the administration is focused on,
and hopefully we'll see some more media reports on this
whistleblower allegation. If this were reversed, if if this were
(13:20):
allegations against the President or any of these cabinet officials,
I'm sure everyone in this room would cover it.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
As such, this is obviously a major story that the
media doesn't want to cover, but we're going to keep
you informed on it, and we're going to make sure
you know exactly what's happening every step of the way.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And finally, story number three.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Donald Trump has done something that's truly incredible, allow law
enforcement to do their jobs, and now Americans are signing
up in record numbers to get in on law and order.
We now have found out that over one hundred thousand
Americans have submitted applications for jobs at the US Immigration
and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, follow the launch of
(14:00):
a Department of Homelanned Security hiring campaign in late July.
The Trump administration initiatives seeks to add ten thousand more
ICE personnel. Because of the tens of millions of illegal
immigrants that are in this country, ICE agents are needed,
and now they're offering major perks as well and even
easing some of the qualification restrictions to make sure that
(14:21):
we get incredible people that are willing to work within ICE.
This is one of the best parts of all of
what Donald Trump has done. In a statement, the Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes stress the significance of
the hiring push, saying, quote, this is a defining moment
in our nation's history. Your skills, your experience, and your
courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend
(14:44):
the Homeland No emphasize that ICE agents are responsible for
deporting the worst of the worst criminals from the United
States of America. To draw in applicants, ICE is providing
sign on bonuses as high as fifty thousand dollars along
with programs for re paying or for giving student loans
and additional perks. This hiring campaign occurs amid DHS statistics
(15:07):
showing an eight hundred and thirty percent surge in attacks
on ICE agents, a number that no medicated has now
climbed to one thousand percent because the radical left demonizing
law and order. The acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has
drawn also attention to the difficulties ICE agents are enduring
(15:28):
and encountering in the public Because of the open border
policies of the former Biden Harris government. The dedicated men
and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges and removing
millions of criminal legal aliens from our country, and that's
exactly why they're trying to hire ten thousand new individuals now.
The ICE hiring portal features various positions such as deportation Officer,
(15:53):
criminal investigator, and general attorney, and it also clearly responds
to the occupational has noting that agents are quote expertly
trained and that all possible measures are implemented to protect them.
Every candidate for law enforcement position will be subject to
health evaluations, substance screenings, and fitness tests during recruitment. This
(16:15):
is exactly why they've received more than one hundred thousand
applicants because so many people are willing to fight to
protect this country when they know the commander in chief
is backing them up. And that's exactly what you're getting
from President Trump.
