News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Here's our toll free telephone number. Its eight hundred and ninety four one sean if you want to be a part of the program. So, the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa yesterday or actually earlier today, but I saw the story last night, released two subpoenas from the former Special Council Jack Smith, now FBI Director of FBI Director Cash Bettel and his
phone records from Arctic Frost. And the records were released ahead of the hearing by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts Oversight Agency Action. Now in a minute will be joined by John Solomon Greg Jarrett for analysis. And what we are finding is Arctic frost, it seems now is the tip of the iceberg. There are multiple other layers and levels of this type of I believe abuse in terms of unreasonable search and seizure, an abuse of power.
We know about Congressman, we know about senators. We know that their phone records were subpoened, even people on the committee, on the committees that were investigating these very matters, and for more than two years, they got two years worth of phone records from now FBI director Cash Bettel. This is before he became FBI director, and it shows that Smith's team was asking Verizon for his phone records from October of twenty twenty through February of twenty twenty three.
Now this has happened to friends of this program, people like Jim Jordan and people like Ted Cruz. Lindsey Graham has sworn sworn that he's going to sue. Let me play Ted Cruz talking about it, because I think this is important, you understand. And I've lived through a series of my own personal private text messages being released publicly.
They didn't get the text messages from me, but text messages, thousands of them with Paul Mattafort, my text messages with Mark Meta and Jim Jordan, my text messages with Kaylee mcinaney, my text messages with others as well.
And what about my right to privacy? Here's Ted Cruz.
Arctic Frost is the culmination of a gross pattern of abuse by Democrats for partisan ends to elect and re elect a Democrat president. In twenty sixteen, Obama's FBI began spying on the Trump campaign just a month before election day. In twenty twenty Biden's FBI met with Senators Johnson and Grassley in an effort to throw off their investigation into the now infamous Hunter Biden laptop, calling the laptop disinformation,
a claim we now know was false. The FBI went to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and lied to him in an effort to change the outcome of a presidential election. Democrats for years have exhibited the pattern of abusing public law enforcement for the sake of politics, a pattern this committee, under the leadership of Chairman Grassley,
is now working to uncover and expose. Because no administration, Republican or Democrat, has any business turning the surveillance powers of the federal government against its political opposition.
Then Senator Cruz, now he's right about this is a culmination of an abusive power. This gets to the heart of weaponization that we have talked so long about in a grand conspiracy. Any talk calls out Democrats for not speaking out against the DOJ and their abuse of power, and many of them knew a lot more than they'd let on at the time.
Listen, fifty years ago, this nation was confronted with an abuse of power, and it responded not with indifference, but with accountability. I'll tell you one of the big differences of Watergate versus Arctic Frost. When Richard Nixon and his corrupt Attorney general in his corrupt administry should abuse their law enforcement powers to go after their political opponents, Republican senators stood up to the president of their own party
and defended the rule of law. Where is even a single Democrat senator who has said one word about this abuse of power? Is there not one? They're forty seven Democrats in this body. Is there not one who can come forward and say, you know what, turning the Department of Justice into the oppo research and attack machine of the DNC is not what the DOJ is supposed to be.
Now, this is critical, especially as this investigation is now going to expand forward, and I believe this may tie into the big one grand conspiracy that has not been discussed in a while, but FBI Director Cash Mattello has talked about it, the Attorney General Pam Bondi has talked about it. Now Chuck Grassley announced that he is releasing the records of the wish list from Jack Smith's team of members of Congress. They wanted data on this is Jack Smith's team wanting data on Listen to this.
Today we're making new records public. Some records are dated January twenty twenty three, before Jack Smith's team secretly sought most member tolling data. The records include a wish list created by Smith's team naming fourteen members of Congress for
whom they've wanted to seek tolling data. Some of those members are Senators on this very committee, but the list notes that Smith's team already knew these members had communication so include text messages for some members with individuals associated with President Trump. And Jack Smith was certainly aware of this effort. To quote from the emails we're making public today, quote before we tell Maine meaning Main Justice, we're going
to fire off subpoenas for so many members tolls. I should make sure that Jacks aware.
The last thing that Chuck Rassley said is making public two subpoenas for toll records of Cash Bettel, along with non disclosure orders that kept all of this secret.
And lastly, today we're also making public two subpoenas for toll records of FBI Director Patel, along with non disclosure orders that kept them secret. This committee's work will continue.
They kind of knew.
I interpret that to mean that they kind of knew what they were doing is wrong. Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this and expand out that Arctic Frost is only the tip of the iceberg. John Solomon, he's the founder, editor in chief, chief investigative reporter justinnews dot com. Greg Jarrett, Fox News Legal Analyst, number one New York Times bestselling author. Welcome both of you, and let me start with you, John, because you're telling us Arctic Frost and you reported on this program on your
own program, is only the tip of the iceberg. That there are multiple other examples of this abuse of power that you believe you've uncovered.
Yeah, no doubt about it. For consecutive counterintelligence and criminal investigations by the FBI, all having special code names, all targeting President Donald Trump and his followers, hundreds of people caught up in them, almost all of them innocent, never going to be charged, never were charged, and yet their privacy, their rights intruded on. I encourage everybody to watch the exchange.
It just happened a short while ago between Senator Mike Lee and the current Chief of staff of the FBI, Will Chamberlain in it, He walks him through classic interrogation. Did the FBI listen in on a phone call with Susie Wills and her private lawyer that should be printlets Yes? Did they pretend they had permission? Yes? Did they have permission? No? Was that a wrong thing to do? Yes? Should a president be able to use his FBI to spy on the conversations of a campaign manager for his rifle? No,
they shouldn't serve. He answers. It is an extraordinary two minute exchange that occurred in the Senate. Why is that so important? That's just one of several tactics that occurred during this ten year period where the FBI looked at Donald Trump, first under Crossfire, Hurricane An, under Operation Round River, and under Plasmic Echo, and then ultimately Arctic Frost. Now we believe the listening in on Susie Wilds's phone calls
occurred during Plasmic Echo. But whatever wherever they occurred, however they happened, you now have a senior FBI official acknowledging it shouldn't have happened, it was wrong to do so. And the reason we only know about it now is because the Chris Ray FBI put these things in prohibited access files that couldn't even be found by the next director without a lot of cash. Mattel had to spend months looking for these records because they were hidden even
inside the FBI from their own people. Just an extraordinary detai. I want to point out one consequence from today. Chuck Grassey's records today raised questions about testimony that Jack Smith previously gave to Congress. If you remember a little while ago, Jack Smith testified to the House Jedentiary Committee, and he said that the January sixth report and it's finding a really small part of all of his investigators really didn't
play a big role. Today, just Chuck Grassey put out records saying where Jack Smith's talking about, they're going to log every finding of the report and they're going to use it as leverage, and they're going to target people for interviews based on what the January sixth Committee found. The email suggests that the January sixth report and the work that the Democratic Select Committee did were a major part of jack Smith. Jack Smith told Congress they were
a minor part. That's a big conflict that I wouldn't be surprised will end up in a referral to the Justice Department for possible false testimony. That was another big moment today in the hearing.
Wow, now, Greg Jarrett, you're one of the smartest lawyers I know. Now you tell me, is there culpability here? Is this abuse of power? Is this criminal?
Oh? Absolutely, all kinds of constitutional protections and rights were violated. Due process was shredded, And of course those are actionable crimes. And you're so correct to point out, Sean that arctic frost is just one part of an elaborate criminal conspiracy to get Trump that stretched over a decade, beginning in twenty sixteen with the Russia haks. And of course it
is now and John has written extensively about this. It's now the subject of a criminal investigation by the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, where prosecutors are building on evidence uncovered by House and Senate committees. James Comey latest to receive a subpoena for his pivotal role in knowingly promoting the hoax, the Russia hoax. And of course it began when Hillary Clinton approved a plan to smear Trump with a phony narrative that he colluded with Russia.
John Brennan and the CIA director discovered the plot, rushed to the White House told Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Instead of telling the truth about Hillary's diabolical scheme to Congress and the American people, they concealed it. They knew that the collusion narrative was all Alie, so did James Comey's FBI Brennan CIA. They knew that Steele dossier was
utter fiction. They had debunked it near the outset, but on Obama's orders, Comy and Brennan altered a key intelligence assessment to say otherwise, and armed with that fabricated document, they then leaked it to the media to falsely implicate Trump even though he committed no wrongdoing. It is truly the dirtiest political trick ever perpetrated in American history, and a usey abuse of power, and the list of crimes really are endless.
All right, quick break, We'll come right back more with Greg Jarrett John Solomon on the other side. And is there any recourse for people that have had their rights abused during this weaponization process? We'll ask Greg Jarrett that question. I will continue with John Solomon just thenews dot Com and Greg Jarrett eight hundred and ninety four one.
Shawn.
We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the hour. John, let me ask you, because I know we were up on the clock here, but I want you to give a preview of coming attractions because you know more about this than I do. And how deep is this going to be, this abuse of power? And why do I suspect that people like you who have probably also been targeted. I've been told by others that I was told by Jim Jordan on a number of occasions that I have
been looked at repeatedly. My social media is suppressed repeatedly by you know, the deep state.
What's coming next, Well, I think what you're going to see is a clear and comprehensive story starting to develop. Where the storyline is the original Russian investigation was designed
to keep President Trump from becoming president. Then the middle investigations are to keep him from winning re election, and then when he loses and he's trying to get back in power, the investigation of Joe Biden, the ones that are under Smith and under the FBI and Arctic Cross, they're literally spying on the opposition candidate to make sure they've got leverage to make sure he can't get back
in office. That continuum. If you and I try to write a Hollywood script like this with Greg ten years ago, people say you're not. No one would do that, no one would believe that happened. That's exactly what we're now seeing the evidence be laid out. I think if fourteen members of Congress, just like Chuck Grassley suggested today, were being targeted, anyone could have been targeted. I don't have any reason to know whether Arctic Frost targeted me. I
do know the Justice Department targeted me. I had to cooperate with the US Southern District of New York US Attorney's office. I got cleared once they reviewed my reporting realized it was accurate. But if I had to go through that just for reporting stories, I can't imagine who else was caught up in this.
You seeing well, especially people that were investigating zero Experience Hunter. My understanding is that is a big part of this too.
That's what they're looking at. That's what Round River seems to be about, protecting Hunter Biden and dishonoring or disabling people who were legitimately looking at very serious issues here. So that's wrapped up, and then we got to keep a close eye on some of the elections stuff that Telsey Gabbert is starting to find. That's also another area of foreign interference in our elections. Foreign threats are license.
I should say, that's another piece. More documents coming down the pike in the next few weeks.
Right, I know, John, you have to run. Greg, if you have a minute or two, I want to ask you on the legal side of this, if there's any recourse for the victims of this weaponization and what it might be. If you have a minute, John, thank you appreciate your sharing your report with us. As always, Greg, hopefully you have a minute you can stay with us. Then we'll get to calls eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is on number if you want to be a
part of the program. All right, Greg, Jarrett graciously agreed to stay a bit longer with us. I do have
one main question. We've been talking about the weaponization. You know this new information that in fact Democrats now even admitting that what they did in terms of spying on congressmen and senators, and I cannot believe that they would ever spy on a call between the president's campaign manager now chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and her own attorney, And initially they tried to said no, no, the attorney gave us permission that turned out to be completely bogus and untrue,
and the attorney even said, if that's true, I deserve to be disbarred. It never happened, and now they acknowledge it never happened. How deep, how wide this ultimately goes, I don't know. But my one major legal question, Lindsey Graham has said he's going to sue. We're talking about congressmen and senators and other people in Donald Trump's orbit, and now we know it was cash Bettel. For years
they were looking into his records. You talk about unreasonable search and seizure, a lack of constitutional authority and rights. I mean, this was a wild, reckless fishing expedition and the law be damned, constitution be damned. So it seems to me, Greg Jarrett. But the people that are victims here, is there any recourse Lindsey Graham would like to sue.
I would like to see him be able to sue not only the government, but the people that were involved and responsible for threading the constitution here.
Oh absolutely you can sue. I mean, Jill Biden and his cronies secretly assigned the DOJ, the FBI, and out of control Special Council Jack Smith to persecute anybody in Trump's orbit. And one of the ways they did that was to abuse their subpoena power. Some twelve senators, roughly four hundred individuals, all Republicans, one hundred thousand private communications were swept up in this digital sweep, and two hundred clandestine subpoenas that you know we're hidden from view. That's
due process violation. It's a violation of the Fourth Amendment on reasonable search and seizure, and it's actionable. And there there's a statute that's quite pivotal, deprivation of rights under color of law. It is both criminal and it is civil. So in other words, you can sue Lindsey Graham or somebody else, even yourself, if your rights were intruded upon, you can sue for money damages caused by the harm of that egregious violation.
You know, I have found it very, very frustrating and hard over the years, as again I had mentioned that my own private personal text messages get released to the public.
Messages with Paul Manafort. Now, when those messages came out, Greg and I think we talked at the time the most fascinating part of it, and it became, you know, breaking news on fake news CNN and MSDNC John Hannity's text messages with Paul Manifort are released, and it went on for you know, an entire day almost And the most amazing thing to me is this is what they were can after reading it, Oh my gosh, he really believes this stuff.
This sounds just like his monologues.
Now, I took that to mean for me, does that mean everything that they're saying is false, that they're fake, that they're different behind the scenes, because I never expected those text messages to be made public. But frankly, I viewed it as an intrusion on my privacy, my personal privacy, and I think I have a right to personal privacy. Look, the Left always lectures us about personal privacy, don't they.
Yeah, they do, and you know they're the ones that seem to be violating it the most. And you're right, you and I did talk about it when your text messages came out, but they simply instilled confidence that what you were saying on the air is true, and it turned out to be true, and you believed.
It to be true.
You know, look, anybody who was swept up in this digital sweep, as I described one hundred thousand in private communications, you know, I would suggest that they consider talking to a lawyer, because you know, well.
I'm talking to a really good one right now.
There isn't complete immunity for people in government who abuse power and violate the law themselves. That limited conditional immunity vanishes, and they can be held. The government can be held, They individually can be held legally liable in a court of law.
That's going to be interesting to see. I've gotten a little bit of a tip off that there's going to be a lot of public figures that likely at some point were targeted as well as these elected officials. We'll see, but you know, I do have pretty good sources over the years. I don't want to get over my skis. I don't want to get ahead of myself. But we'll wait, watch and see. But it's good to know that in a case like this, in fact they did it. Now
you're not only talking about the government. What about the people that made the decision to do to commit what is obviously a violation of one's constitutional rights.
What happens to them, Well.
They're in legal jeopardy, both criminally and civilly. And you know, we know that it wasn't just Jack Smith and individuals at the Department of Justice, but the Attorney General Merrick Garland approved this plan, w ag Lisa Monico, FBI Director Christopher Ray, they all approved this confidential plan to collect private communications of twelve senators and roughly four hundred individuals, as I say, And you know, they went to Judge Bosberg,
a federal judge who's become rather notorious to try to hide it, particularly from members of Congress, who by law are required to be told when that kind of collection is undertaken. They were not told. It was deliberately kept in the dark. So you know, I think the individuals associated with it are in legal jeopardy, both criminally and civilly.
Greg Jarrett appreciate you as always best selling author of Fox News Legal Analysts. Thank you, Greg, appreciate you. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is a number you want to be a part of the program, Jim in Michigan.
Hey Jim, how are you pluk.
And Sonny to talk to you a longtime listener.
Thank you.
Several things come up just like they were just talking. You know, the evidence is then it's clear. Why do we keep investigating this time and time again? I mean, I've heard you talk last week or something about MAGA might be losing support for President Trump or whatever. We're behind President Trump. We're just sick and tired of the continuous investigations and stuff and nothing's happening. Nobody gets prosecuted every.
Let me, let me put your heart at rest a little bit, and I know the wheels of justice roll along very slowly. I'm telling you right now, I know for a fact, I have a lot of good sources. I think if you listen to the show, I think you would acknowledge that I know a lot of important people. I'm just telling you that there is a real brand
conspiracy investigation. They're very hard to build, very very time consuming. Remember, all of these people that would be involved in that all have other jobs like keeping all of us safe and secure in the interim. But I am telling you that it is it is not being ignored on at any level at all. It's not fast enough. It's not at the pace I would like or you would like. But I'll give you these two words. Stay tuned. Let's
see what happens. Okay, my friend, your phone is a little off, so I'm gonna have to move on all right, back to our phones. Let us say, I to Lois in Alabama. Lois, how are you? Where in Alabama are you?
I'm doing very well, sir, and you I'm good man. Where are you from?
Birmingham?
You know what I love about Alabama? And I live at about ninety minutes north in Athens, Alabama, if you go down sixty five. I used to go to the Birmingham Zoo all the time because I like zoos. The most amazing thing about Alabama. The people there are wonderful, let me put it that way, and it's just a great place.
Anyway, I digress. What's on your mind?
Well? I had a question about want you know why President Trump can't use his executive orders to stop all this and so we can go in and pay tsa sincot with it being an emergency, having a war gone over there in Iran, that it would be like he would have the ability to be able to say, Okay, you know, I can push this through now, because we've got this war going on. It just seems like it's
so dangerous. Or why don't we take the money from the tariffs so we've gotten from the other countries and borrow that to pay her to you say, workers and everyone who is lacking a paycheck. And then when did Democrats get through playing their little pity party thing. Then we can put the money back into that tariff money, I mean, because that's extra money anyway.
Right, well, let me tell you what Donald Trump cleverly did, and he's not going to get credit for this. And it looks like the President is open to this deal proposal where they will fund the Department of Homeland Security less the less ice. I don't think the mask issue the Democrats will win on, but those are the two sticking points. The reason I think the President will do it is because too many people are being hurt, too many Americans are being impacted. The Democrats have voted five
times not to fund the Department of Homeland Security. It's their responsibility. They're now beginning to cave and the President wants to be responsible, and we need these agents. We're in the middle of a war against the number one state sponsor of terror, and they have already signaled that they want to trigger any sleeper cells that are in this country. So the President will be the adult. He'll
probably sign on to it. I would have preferred that it'd be tied to the Save Act, but the President has got he's got so many he's got a greater responsibility for the greater good. And I understand his decision completely, I really do. And I ran into TSA agents this weekend.
And I talked to them. I always talk to them.
I never stopped talking, I never shut up, and I'm talking to them and they haven't been paid now for thirty nine days. People, they're struggling. They need to be paid. And half of them just decided I'm not coming to work unless you pay me. And I don't blame them at all. They're not going to work. But to see Americans waiting six seven hours online all around the country to just just get up to the gate so they
can get to their plane is insane. To get a text from you from your airline saying, well, you need to arrive five hours early. I mean, that's awful. We can't live our lives that way.
And also the voter they think. It's almost like the Democrats are a pray that if they passed this law that they will be reelected for their positions. And I'm beginning to think that they wouldn't they because they know that theirs it's coming from so many illegal voters.
That's why Chris Murphy gave it all away. He said that illegals are the people that Democrats care the most about. I'm going to roll along, Lois. God, bless you, God bless Alabama. Appreciate you eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. I feel sorry for the people of the family. This University of Alabama kid, whereas he was in Barcelona. Oh my gosh, did you see that story, Linda. I don't believe my antenna is so it is like through the
roof of my house right now. I don't believe what we're being told. I don't believe this kid died in shallow water and it was a quote, it's an accident, five minute investigation. No, we think it's an accident. I never trust that.
You never first of all, that country is a mess right now. Second of all, at the end of the day, we were not there. We don't know anybody that was there. He supposedly left alone. If I had my druthers about me, he probably got drug. They slipped something in his drink. They took him out the back door, and that was that.
It's sad, It's terrible, My. That's gonna wraptlings up at Today. We got a great Hannity tonight. The President says Iran has agreed to end their nuclear weapons program. Does this mean epic fury is coming to an end? What are the conditions that the Iranians must agree to? We'll have more detail, We'll ask Jack Keen tonight. We have Ryans previous, Kaylee McGhee, White, James Comer, Greg Jarrett, and John Solomon, Tommy Laren say you DVR tonight Hannity nine Eastern on Fox.
See you tonight back here tomorrow. Thanks for making the show possible.
