Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The declassification report that was put out by Senator Grassley today.
I'm glad you brought it up, because this should be
a story every outlet in this room should be covering.
This is further evidence that Hillary Clinton approved the Russia
hoax against President Trump, her campaign financed it. Again, she
approved it, and the FBI and the CIA were both
weaponized to, as our Director of CIA has said, accelerate

(00:24):
this hoax against then candidates and former President Trump.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Good Friday morning. Nice to have you with us on

story for you today, the Russia hoax. It's been exposed
even more than you could imagine. Hillary Clinton, we are

(00:53):
fact that now we have declassified documents that were hidden
from you the American Voters Center. Ted Cruz joins me

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Story number one.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
All right, so center, where were you when you found
out the Russian hoax is now being exposed? And what
was your initial reaction to Hillary Clinton greenlighting this? It's
like for me, I was like, Yep, that makes sense, Yep,
that adds up, Yep, that matches.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, Look the evidence has been coming over the last
several weeks. So Telsea Gabbard released a significant evidence that
the intelligence community had been telling Barack Obama and the
Obama administration that Russia was not trying to hack the election.
They'd been doing that for months. We covered that on
a previous pod. And then this week the portions of
the classified annex of John Durham's Special Council investigation were released,

(04:13):
and they were released by my colleague Chuck Grassley, who
was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I
got to say, it is stunning what is in these
newly de classified documents. So they reveal quote confidential conversations
between members of the Democratic National Committee and George Soros's

(04:35):
Open Society Foundation that occurred before the twenty sixteen election,
and in particular, accorded to the declassified files, Hillary Clinton
personally approved a plan that had been proposed by her
foreign policy advisor, woman named Julianne Smith, to quote smear
Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion

(04:59):
by the Russian Special Services in the pre election process
to benefit the Republican candidate and by the way Julianne
Smith was later appointed to serve as ambassador to NATO
under President Joe Biden, so it turned out this was
this was a profitable role for her to be involved
in this massive hoax. There's an email in particular that

(05:20):
is that is really remarkable. It was written by Open
Society Foundations senior vice president, a fellow named Leonard Bernardo,
and it was dated July twenty seventh, twenty sixteen. And
here's what it says. Quote HRC. HRC stands for Hillary Rodham.
Clinton approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering

(05:41):
US elections. This is in July of twenty sixteen. That
should distract people from her own missing email, especially if
the affair goes to the Olympic level and his email
continues quote the point is making the Russian play a
US domestic issue in absence of direct evidence. CrowdStrike and

(06:07):
Threat Connect will supply the media, and g r U,
which is the foreign intelligence arm of Russia UH will
hopefully carry on to give more facts. And and OK,
I gotta say this is Hillary explicitly signing on and
and counting on UH, counting on the assistance and and

(06:30):
and and then he goes on to say he says
that that the Clinton campaign's plan included quote raising the
theme of Putin's support for Trump and pushing public opinion
to quote equoatee the Russian leader's influence campaign with actual
election infrastructure hacking. And it involved distributing quote the necessary

(06:55):
information through the FBI affiliated technical structures, in part particular
the crowd Strike and threat Connect companies, from where the
information would then be disseminated through lead leading US opinion
of publications. And that's another email from Bernardo. And then
the email predicts and this is stunning that the FBI

(07:19):
would quote put more oil into the fire of the
Russia collusion narrative. This was an explicit plan by the
Hillary Clinton campaign and by Hillary Clinton herself to use
the FBI to spread a lie about Donald Trump. And
it was in order to try to win the election.
And thank god, the American people were not deceived and

(07:42):
they elected Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Who paid for it and when it went to the FBI,
how they categorized at the time the dossier and everything else.
It was paid for by Hillary Clinton, partially her campaign
and then the Democratic National Committee. They created it out
of thin air. And then they went to the FBI,
and even the FBI had classified, if I remember correctly,

(08:05):
as quote user generated and even offered. I think it
was like a million dollars to steal if he could
verify any of this dossier, which he never got paid
on because he couldn't do it well.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
The Steele dossier was designed to be a lie and
it was straight out opposition research. It was paid for
by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was paid for by
the DNC. They paid over a million dollars, and they
hid the fees that they hid them as quote legal
fees to their law firms, Perkins Cooy. They had five
point six million in legal fees that were paid in

(08:39):
one bill and they hid that amount in there. And
once they created the Steele dossier that just made blatant
lies about Donald Trump, they then gave it to the
FBI and Obama DOJ and FBI officials were active in
covering up that this came from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
And understand, and this is during the presidential campaign, this

(09:02):
is while the campaign is in full speed. This this
false oppo research document. It was just concocted. It was
just created out of whole cloth. It became the basis
for for then an FBI investigation, and and that FBI
investigation was then UH eagerly leaked uh to the press,

(09:23):
and the press breathlessly reported on it. And the fact
that the FBI was investigating it took it as as
confirmation that that that Vladimir Putin was behind the Trump
campaign and and the entire the entire operation was a
deliberate and false, uh, misleading campaign. They that they they

(09:45):
knew that it was. And and you know, here's one
thing John Solomon UH says about the Durham annex that
just got released. Quote, this is the smoking gun evidence
inside the Durham Annis. If it is authenticated by further investigation,
it means liberal mega donor George Soros's team knew the
whole Clinton plan for Russia Gate hoax four days before

(10:10):
FBI opened up the probe, and so did Obama, Brennan
and Comy. This was a deliberate lie, and everyone involved
in it knew they were lying, and they were lying,
number one, because they wanted to effectively steal the election,
mislead the American people. And by the way, the Washington
Post of the New York Times both won Pulitzer Prizes

(10:32):
for reporting on these lies, for repeating these lies, for
being an avenue of propaganda and disinformation. So of course
The Washington Post and New York Times are very reluctant
to cover what's being released now because it shows that
they operated essentially as misinformation arms of the Hillary Clinton campaign.

(10:54):
They did it at first hoping to win the election
through deception, but then after the election was over Donald
Trump was elected to his first term, they did it
within the government to try to undermine the newly elected
president of the United States, and understand to do this,
it takes a real contempt, not just for the incoming president,
it takes a contempt for the voters. It takes a

(11:15):
contempt for the democratic process. For someone that's in a
senior government position, whether at the FBI or at the
CIA or at the Department of Justice, to say, I
don't care that the American people elected this president, I
don't like him, I disagree with him, and so I'm
going to abuse my government position in order to try

(11:36):
to destroy the presidency from within. And this was not accidental,
This was not based on misunderstandings. This was a deliberate
lie and they knew they were lying.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
You look at this and you say, okay, this is
a massive scheme. Now the question is I go back
to it. I feel like I ask you this a
lot when we have these issues come out. Will there
be any accountability for this? We know that there's some
that were pardoned by Biden, for example, that there's the
question of was it the auto pen That doesn't come

(12:10):
into play here. With Hillary Clinton. There have been people saying, Wow,
you're not going to be able to get anything here
because it is what it is. Politics is dirty? Get
over it? Is this in the category of politics is dirty?
Get over it? Or is there more there?

Speaker 4 (12:22):
So look, I hope there is accountability. Pambondi, the Attorney
General has created a strike force that is investigating these lies,
investigating this cover up. The challenge is going to be
the Statute of Limitations, and look at statutal limitations. It's
ordinarily for something like this five years. The Statute of
Limitations is designed to stop prosecutors from bringing cases on

(12:45):
things that are many, many years decades old. And there
are a lot of reasons for that, but for most
of this conduct it has passed. The Statute of limitation
there's some exceptions. So, for example, Andrew McCabe, the deputy
director the FBI, lied to Congress, and he did so
within the last five years. And so McCabe. McCabe of

(13:05):
all of the players, probably faces the greatest legal jeopardy
because he's got if it can be demonstrated that he
deliberately lied to Congress under oath, that that is a
felony that carries jail time with him with respect to
to other conduct, other lies done under oath. If it
happened before the statutal limitations, the only way to bring

(13:26):
a prosecution is for the prosecutors to argue that the
information was concealed and that told the statute limitations. That's
a plausible argument, but it's difficult to prove it's it's
it's not. Courts don't agree with that often, and so
that that that makes it more challenging to bring those cases.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
So is this more of an issue now?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Of all?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Right?

Speaker 3 (13:45):
The American people know they were lied to, they know
that there's corruptions at the highest level in our government.
They know that they did this while they were in power,
and they know they did to also cover up. And
Hillary Clinton has still not been held accountable. I mean,
some could argue maybe on election day when she's running
against Trump, but with the email scandal and the declassified documents,

(14:06):
you look at what she did compared to what they
rated Marlago over. It is disgusting. The abuse of power
by the Democratic Party over the last two administrations when
they've been in power.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
It is.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
And you look at a press release the Hillary Clinton
campaign put out and it reads as follows, quote Hillary
for America statement on US government formally naming Russia responsible
for election related hacks. John Podesta, chair of Hillary for America,
released the following statement Friday, quote, the world now knows
beyond a shadow of a doubt that the hack of

(14:39):
the Democratic National Committee was carried out by the Russian
government in a clear attempt to interfere with the integrity
of our elections. The only remaining question is why Donald
Trump continues to make apologies for the Russians. Trump's initial
reaction to the hack in July was to invite further
intrusions by the Russians, even after he was reportedly briefs
on the very findings that were just publicly announced by
the US government official. He stood on a debate stage

(15:01):
one week ago and played dumb about Russia's role in
this hack. He has repeatedly praised Vladimir Putin, outlined a
list of pro Putin policies, and has done hundreds of
millions of dollars of business with Russian interests. Every word
of what that press release said is false. They knew
it was false, and they were willing to campaign based
on lies, and Hillary Clinton, according to this emails, personally

(15:24):
approved those lives.
