Story 1 – “FBI Abuse and Cover-Up”
-
FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and one congressman during a supposed investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
-
It describes a hidden vault of subpoenaed communication records, suggesting a deliberate cover-up under the previous administration’s Department of Justice.
-
The text portrays Patel as a whistleblower uncovering “deep state” corruption and restoring transparency.
-
Senator Josh Hawley is quoted condemning the investigation as an abuse of power “beyond Watergate”, calling for a special counsel.
-
The narrative concludes that the FBI and DOJ were weaponized against political opponents and that new leadership is “unsealing the vault” to expose them.
Story 2 – Letitia James Indicted
-
New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on federal bank fraud charges in Virginia.
-
It asserts that she falsified mortgage documents and lied about property records.
-
The narrative contrasts how mainstream media (CNN) allegedly downplays her wrongdoing while emphasizing Trump’s involvement.
-
Commentary from Adam Kinzinger is quoted, supposedly acknowledging both James’s mistakes and the political motives behind her indictment.
-
The story concludes by framing James’s case as part of a broader reckoning against the “deep state” and vindication for Donald Trump’s promises to hold his opponents accountable.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
We've got two stories for you that no one is

fired the FBI agents involved in tracking GOP senator phone calls.
Plus accountability as the New York Attorney General. Letician James
who is targeting Donald Trump saying vote for me and

in just a moment. Let me also talk to you
about my friends at Kurt Elliott Precious Medals. You may
have seen the big news that gold has now reached
an all time new high of over four thousand dollars
(01:08):
an ounce. Now you may be asking yourself this question,
is it the wrong time to invest in gold or
is it going to keep going up and off? Well,
there's also another question, what about silver, which has actually

Kirk Elliott Precious Medals comes in.

forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Story number one, this first story.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
We're going to be talking about, is one that I
hope you will take and you'll share it on social
media wherever you can, because it is a story that's
important and then the media is deliberately looking the other
way to not cover it. Is an important story because
it's about the abuse of power and holding those that
abuse their power to accountability. The FBI Director Cashpittel has
(03:33):
fired agents involved in tracking the phone calls of eight
Republican centers and a congressman as part of the former
Special counsel Jack Smiths investigation a sham investigation and to
President Donald J. Trump communication records belonging to GOP. Senators
(03:54):
Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Loomis,
Bill Haggerty, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, and represented Mike Kelly.
We know now for a fact, we're handed over to
Smith's Arctic Frost team after they subpoened major phone companies
(04:17):
in twenty twenty three. The fact was unknown to the
public until this week when Cashperttel, the FBI director, saying
he discovered the files hidden in a lock box that
was placed in a vault in a cyber place where
no one can see or search these files.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The FBI director saying, this.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It in a lock box, put that lock box in
a vault, and then put that vault in a cyber
place where no one can see or search these files.
They're called a restricted access and prohibited access. Restricted access
means some people get to seed. Prohibited access you put
it in there when you want to hide it from
the world, and that takes the authorization of the Attorney
(05:02):
General and the director of the FBI. So not only
did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got
in there, and when I got in as the FBI director,
from my experience as Russia Gate, I knew where to
look and what rooms to open and what doors to
kick down. And that's what we did. We found this
information to expose to politicization by Jacksmith and the prior
Department of Justice. I mean, just think about it. Eight
(05:22):
city United States senators phone records were gathered in subpoena
through the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholed.
It was the hope that no one would find it.
So we're just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming.
We are finding every single person involved. We will not
leave a single room locked. We will go in through
all the prohibited access requirements and we will find the
(05:45):
material and show the American public like we have done
in this FBI more transformative and transparent than any in
the US history, to bring accountability of the American people.
And we were working with our partners in Congress, who
should be furious at the prior administration's leadership and weaponization
in singular politicization of law enforcement. The American public sees
what we're doing Sean with the statue just right off
in the beginning. They see what we're doing here to
(06:08):
unseal the vault and show the world how the deep
state actually operated.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Casp Hotel, making it clear this is the beginning, not
the end. And if you go back and you actually
look at what he said quote you put it in
there and when you want to hide it from the world,
and that takes the authorization of the Attorney General and
the director of the FBI. So not only did they
weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there,
(06:36):
and when I got to in as the FBI director,
from my experience as Russia Gate, I knew where to
look and what rooms to open and what doors to
knock down.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And that is what we did.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
So if you want to know why the President of
the United States of America decided to pick Caspertel to
do this job.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It is exactly for this reason.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
And it goes back to what else he had to say, saying, quote,
we found this information to expose the politicalization by Jack
Smith members, this guy in charge of Special Council weaponizing
our government to go after Donald Trump and the prior
Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
He added before.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Revealing that he fired the agents who facilitated the secret
investigations into sitting US lawmakers. Now Holly by the Way Center. Holly,
one of the senators who had his phone calls tracked
by the Biden administration's DOJ, called Smith's subpoena an abuse
(07:36):
of power beyond Watergate, beyond Jaeger Hoover, one that directly
strikes at the Constitution, the separations of power and the
First Amendment. Holly also said it's time for there to
be a special counsel, saying, quote, we need a full
investigation of all involved, who knew about it, who ordered it,
(07:57):
and who approved it. Anyone everyone who violated the law
must be prosecuted. The way to save the country is
to restore the rule of law, the senator said. Now,
the US Office a Special Counsel, the OSC, in August
opened an investigation into Jack Smith, who may have unlawfully
(08:18):
targeted President Trump, and that may be where this investigation
is going next.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Now story number two New York Attorney General Letitia James
story the media is having to cover right now because,
let's be honest, she built much of her political career
on one thing, trying to put Donald Trump behind bars
attacking Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
She even raised money off of attacking Donald Trump in
said if she was elected, she would.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Go after Donald Trump. Well.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Now she has been indicted on a bank fraud charge
by a federal grand jury in Virginia. The grand Jury
in the Eastern District of Virginia Rey turned the indictment
on Thursday. Earlier this year, the Justice Department confirmed an
investigation into Latsia James over what was described as alleged
(09:10):
mortgage fraud. The probe centers on claims that she misrepresented
property records and loan application to secure more favorable financing.
By the way, that is against the law. According to
no letter from the Federal Housing Finance Director, James allegedly
made false statements on multiple documents, meaning that you can
(09:33):
see clearly if she was lawing. That includes listing a
Virginia property as her primary residence when it was in
fact not, filing Brooklyn records showing her multifamily building had
five units instead of four. That would be what would
be categorized as fraud. Submitting a mortgage application claiming she
(09:59):
was her father spouse pretty easy to you know, prove
that that wasn't actually true. Now, James has been under
scrutiny for at least one suspected instance of misrepresenting an
investment property as her primary or secondary residence, a move
that could save thousands in interest rates as well. The
(10:20):
case is being held by the US Attorney Lindsay Halligan,
a Trump appointee. Halligan, by the way, is new and
replaced Eric Siebert, who was ousted after reportedly showing reluctance
to pursue cases one against James and the former FBI
Director James Comey. Both obviously are individuals that people believe
(10:42):
have abused their power, and there are people that say,
I'm one of them, that it's time to hold those
accountable who have lied and weaponized our government. Now, James
has responded, and here is part of what she had
to say about the indictment.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
This is nothing more than a continuation of the President's
desperate weaponization of our justice system.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
He's forcing federal law.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did
my job as the New York State Attorney general. He's
charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements make
clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Ptitia James is the one who has literally said before
that if you would just vote for and get her
in office, she's going to take down Donald Trump. So
much for acting like you're not going after your political enemies.
We also are getting to witness what the media is
doing with this, and they're covering it as big breaking news,
but they're also trying to see can they spin it
(11:43):
to hurt Donald Trump, claiming he's just going after his
political enemies and acting as if somehow mortgage fraud is
not a big deal. Here's how they broke the news
on CNN, CNN Drinking News.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Welcome to the lead on Jake Tapper, and we start
with breaking news in our law Injustice Lee just moments
ago to two sources telling CNN that the Justice Department
indicted yet another one of President Trump's perceived political opponents.
This time it was New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James.
She was charged in a federal court in a grand
(12:17):
jury in Alexandria, Virginia. Today, you will remember James brought
civil fraud charges alleging financial fraud against Trump and his
adult sons in his real estate business in New York.
Back in twenty twenty two, a judge found them libel
and ordered a three hundred and fifty five million dollar fine,
which Trump appealed. And this obviously comes in the context
(12:38):
of President Trump demanding that the Eastern District of Virginia
the US Attorney there, carry out orders to go after
his political opponents. James Comey, who has been indicted Letitia James,
who as of today has been indicted. Democratic Senator Adam
Schiff is the third that he mentioned in that public
truth social post at the Wall Street General reports was
(12:58):
accidentally publicly was meant to be a private message to
his Attorney General, Pam Bondi with me here in New
York scene.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
By the way, let's just stop there.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Isn't amazing that they actually overlook the crimes that these
people are accused of committing. And isn't amazing that the
same people that were screaming when Donald Trump was indicted
on ridiculous and bogus charges, saying well, he's been charged,
he's going to be a raided, he's gonna have a
mug shot, he's going to be in court, are now
acting as if this is all news that you should
(13:28):
just look the other way. On there is one, by
the way, one of those that was a part of
the hoax January sixth Committee, a guy by the name
of Adam Kinzinger who is at least somewhat honest on
CNN about this fraud mortgage fraud charge against Latista James.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And I want you to hear what he.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Said that people's trusted our system, Congressman, I mean, live
by the sword, die by the sword.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Is that the way the system should be?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Yeah? No, I mean, look, I think two days can
be true here. I think the first thing is, Leticia
James never should have made those comments. She never should
have run on I'm going to go after him before
she's seen the evidence, before she's had anything that was wrong,
not illegal, that was wrong. And then at the same time,
there is no doubt, and I mean we can argue
(14:14):
about it, but there's no doubt that this thing went.
They went after her specifically for retribution, specifically because it
was her. I mean, all you have to do is
read the President's accidental fake tweet or whatever thing that's
called posts and know that he was basically saying, Pam,
here are two people we have to go after. And
(14:36):
then all of a sudden, boy, just miraculously, a new
person comes in after the other person said that they
didn't have enough to make a case and get indicted.
This thing, probably, like like Coomey's, is either going to
be thrown out. I'm not a lawyer, so who knows
either be thrown out before trial or certainly will be
will be seen as what it is, which is revenge.
But I think we can hold Anderson. Both things are true.
(14:58):
Letitia James never should I have said that in the campaign.
And also they are going after her for one reason
because it's.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Her, So there you have it.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Well, Jesse James as well, you know, probably did something wrong,
and you know, maybe she didn't commit mortgage fraud, but hey,
they shouldn't go after because she went after them first
in a political way. That is some weird leftist logic.
But the one thing that we can be sure about
is this. Donald Trump ran on and said he was
(15:28):
going to hold those accountable who abuse their positions of
power to go after their political enemies. And what we're
witnessing right now is the deep state crumbling, and those
that went after the president only for political reasons are
now being held accountable for their own actions.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That apparently now include mortgage fraud.

We also are getting to witness what the media is
doing with this, and they're covering it as big breaking news,
but they're also trying to see can they spin it
(11:43):
to hurt Donald Trump, claiming he's just going after his
political enemies and acting as if somehow mortgage fraud is
not a big deal. Here's how they broke the news
on CNN, CNN Drinking News.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Welcome to the lead on Jake Tapper, and we start
with breaking news in our law Injustice Lee just moments
ago to two sources telling CNN that the Justice Department
indicted yet another one of President Trump's perceived political opponents.
This time it was New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James.
She was charged in a federal court in a grand
(12:17):
jury in Alexandria, Virginia. Today, you will remember James brought
civil fraud charges alleging financial fraud against Trump and his
adult sons in his real estate business in New York.
Back in twenty twenty two, a judge found them libel
and ordered a three hundred and fifty five million dollar fine,
which Trump appealed. And this obviously comes in the context
(12:38):
of President Trump demanding that the Eastern District of Virginia
the US Attorney there, carry out orders to go after
his political opponents. James Comey, who has been indicted Letitia James,
who as of today has been indicted. Democratic Senator Adam
Schiff is the third that he mentioned in that public
truth social post at the Wall Street General reports was
(12:58):
accidentally publicly was meant to be a private message to
his Attorney General, Pam Bondi with me here in New
York scene.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
By the way, let's just stop there.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Isn't amazing that they actually overlook the crimes that these
people are accused of committing. And isn't amazing that the
same people that were screaming when Donald Trump was indicted
on ridiculous and bogus charges, saying well, he's been charged,
he's going to be a raided, he's gonna have a
mug shot, he's going to be in court, are now
acting as if this is all news that you should
(13:28):
just look the other way. On there is one, by
the way, one of those that was a part of
the hoax January sixth Committee, a guy by the name
of Adam Kinzinger who is at least somewhat honest on
CNN about this fraud mortgage fraud charge against Latista James.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And I want you to hear what he.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Said that people's trusted our system, Congressman, I mean, live
by the sword, die by the sword.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Is that the way the system should be?
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Yeah? No, I mean, look, I think two days can
be true here. I think the first thing is, Leticia
James never should have made those comments. She never should
have run on I'm going to go after him before
she's seen the evidence, before she's had anything that was wrong,
not illegal, that was wrong. And then at the same time,
there is no doubt, and I mean we can argue
(14:14):
about it, but there's no doubt that this thing went.
They went after her specifically for retribution, specifically because it
was her. I mean, all you have to do is
read the President's accidental fake tweet or whatever thing that's
called posts and know that he was basically saying, Pam,
here are two people we have to go after. And
(14:36):
then all of a sudden, boy, just miraculously, a new
person comes in after the other person said that they
didn't have enough to make a case and get indicted.
This thing, probably, like like Coomey's, is either going to
be thrown out. I'm not a lawyer, so who knows
either be thrown out before trial or certainly will be
will be seen as what it is, which is revenge.
But I think we can hold Anderson. Both things are true.
(14:58):
Letitia James never should I have said that in the campaign.
And also they are going after her for one reason
because it's.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Her, So there you have it.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Well, Jesse James as well, you know, probably did something wrong,
and you know, maybe she didn't commit mortgage fraud, but hey,
they shouldn't go after because she went after them first
in a political way. That is some weird leftist logic.
But the one thing that we can be sure about
is this. Donald Trump ran on and said he was
(15:28):
going to hold those accountable who abuse their positions of
power to go after their political enemies. And what we're
witnessing right now is the deep state crumbling, and those
that went after the president only for political reasons are
now being held accountable for their own actions.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That apparently now include mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
