FBI Targeted 92 Republican Groups Including Turning Point USA in Operation Arctic Frost Investigation

[00:00] Things are still hot right now with the

[00:02] FBI. We are getting what is build as

[00:05] national security investigation. It now

[00:07] looks like, wait a minute, government

[00:08] overreach. Uh, could it be? The deep

[00:11] state was weaponizing federal power to

[00:13] target and investigate its political

[00:15] enemies.

[00:16] >> On that political list was one of

[00:19] Charlie Kirk's groups, Turning Point

[00:22] USA. In other words, Arctic Frost wasn't

[00:26] just a case to politically investigate

[00:31] Trump. It was the vehicle by which

[00:35] partisan FBI agents

[00:38] and Department of Justice prosecutors

[00:42] could achieve their partisan ends and

[00:46] improperly investigate the entire

[00:49] Republican political apparatus. So,

[00:52] Arctic Frost that he's talking about

[00:54] there, these are unclassified documents

[00:56] that have been released by the FBI and

[00:59] this began in April of 2022. It went on

[01:02] for about half of the year. Uh, but it

[01:04] targeted 92 Republican link groups and

[01:08] individuals including the Republican

[01:10] National Committee, Trump affiliated

[01:12] packs, and as he said there, Turning

[01:13] Point USA. Matt.

[01:15] >> Yeah. I mean, I I want everyone in the

[01:17] audience to think about this in terms of

[01:19] what just happened right a week ago

[01:21] today. Uh Charlie Kirk is assassinated

[01:24] in broad daylight. And when you think

[01:26] about the investigation that needs to be

[01:29] underway by the FBI now, right? Think

[01:32] about what they did not very long ago.

[01:35] because this was the FBI and the DOJ

[01:37] working together with other federal

[01:38] agencies to surveil and investigate what

[01:42] uh let's I mean first off it's wide it's

[01:45] it's it's broad this this is looking at

[01:48] people in multiple states throughout the

[01:50] country this is looking at basically

[01:52] anyone who was a political opponent that

[01:55] included many uh Trump related

[01:57] organizations so you're talking about a

[02:00] whole raft of organizations related to

[02:03] the Trump uh the Trump administration

[02:05] And this is this is we can if we can

[02:08] pull that up there. This is a broad

[02:11] investigation in other words of

[02:13] political opponents. So not only do we

[02:14] have numerous Trump enterprises listed

[02:16] here targeted, we also have guess what?

[02:19] Turning Point USA. Turning Point USA is

[02:23] on this document along with J6 money,

[02:25] whatever the hell that means, right? Uh

[02:27] so of course we know everyone going to

[02:29] J6 is targeted and this means that you

[02:31] know these organizations and people are

[02:33] being investigated and can be surveiled

[02:36] by the federal government. This is the

[02:38] kind of widespread activity that was

[02:40] common under the last administration.

[02:43] >> So is national security as what they

[02:44] bill as national security Chris is this

[02:47] just actually going through and

[02:49] targeting political enemies again?

[02:53] >> Yeah. essentially unfortunately. Turns

[02:56] out the libertarians were right about

[02:58] some things. But uh so put this into

[03:00] context, put it into a timeline. This

[03:03] operation was launched in the spring of

[03:05] 2022.

[03:07] She's basically geared up around the

[03:09] time that President Trump was getting

[03:10] ready to come back and win. And

[03:12] President Biden wasn't doing so hot in

[03:14] the polls and vice president Kla Harris

[03:16] wasn't doing so hot in the polls. Look

[03:18] at the two years previous to the deep

[03:21] state. essentially Timothy Thibalt, the

[03:23] known anti-Trump FBI agent leading this

[03:26] 13 field offices going after this. The

[03:29] two years before that is when they

[03:31] decided we're going to let the civilians

[03:33] handle this. And they had done a

[03:35] Inquisitor's job, a an English

[03:38] propaganda version of the Spanish

[03:40] Inquisition's job on this sort of thing.

[03:42] the two years previously after January

[03:44] 6, uh, the January 6th riot, every

[03:47] single person remotely connected to the

[03:50] Republican party, from the accountants

[03:52] to the tech guys were called into

[03:54] basement in the capital and questioned

[03:56] over and over and over again. And they

[03:58] weren't being questioned about riots.

[04:01] They weren't being questioned about

[04:03] illegal activity. They were being

[04:04] questioned about fundraising, about

[04:05] where they get their money from, over

[04:07] who funds the GOP. This is what the

[04:09] Democratic committees empowered by Liz

[04:11] Cheney were going after and digging

[04:13] into. I know multiple people who had

[04:15] absolutely nothing to do with that riot

[04:18] who weren't even there who were just

[04:19] hauled in because they were trying to do

[04:21] a factf finding mission to help sink the

[04:23] GOP. They were searching for crimes. Now

[04:26] look at the four years before that with

[04:28] James Comey, the first half of it. the

[04:31] FBI set about trying to to knock down

[04:34] Trump, knock him out, take care of him,

[04:37] uh saddle him with all kinds of

[04:39] conspiracies, knock off members of his

[04:41] administration, raid different homes of

[04:43] people after they left for the entire

[04:46] four years of that administration. So,

[04:47] at this point, by 2022,

[04:50] we're on year six

[04:51] >> of FBI tag teaming with Democrats,

[04:55] switching on and off to attack and

[04:57] undermine president, then former

[04:59] president, and now current president.

[05:01] Once again, the once in future

[05:03] president. The this whole thing is part

[05:06] of the reason and and you start you

[05:08] start to see why they were doing it,

[05:10] right? Because when Trump got back into

[05:12] power, he finds it. When Trump got back

[05:15] into power, he found the original

[05:16] documents. When Trump got back into

[05:18] power, he found all of the receipts for

[05:20] all of their misdeeds. And the key to

[05:23] making sure that was never found was

[05:25] Trump either going to prison and never

[05:27] coming back to power. And then maybe

[05:28] some other goofy Republican, some return

[05:30] to normaly comes back and just allows

[05:32] him to get away with the entire damn

[05:34] thing. That's what they were banking on

[05:36] because they are guilty as said.

[05:37] >> That is such a key point because this is

[05:39] Christopher Ray's FBI and we can bring

[05:41] in special counsel Jack Smith. He's the

[05:43] one who is leading all of this, right?

[05:45] These are these are the greatest hits of

[05:47] the names on the left. And Matt, we we

[05:50] see Tulsi Gabbert right now and and

[05:52] others that are like, "Oh, by the way,

[05:53] we're finding classified documents that

[05:56] are in burn bags uh in deep hidden

[05:59] closets within all these different

[06:01] administrations. So, if this is what we

[06:03] found so far, right, and to Chris's

[06:06] point, they didn't they they didn't want

[06:08] this to happen. and they didn't want

[06:09] Trump to win again, but they haven't

[06:11] done a thankfully a good enough job uh

[06:14] of getting rid of the actual evidence.

[06:16] And there are still whistleblowers that

[06:18] are coming forward and saying these

[06:19] things are wrong. If this is what we

[06:21] already know, I mean, the level of

[06:26] lawlessness uh that we will possibly

[06:29] never know about, but the the fact that

[06:31] it is is it's the weaponized government

[06:33] that we see over and over and over

[06:35] again.

[06:36] >> Yeah. And here's here's the thing. You

[06:37] can't become numb to this, right? I

[06:39] mean, as Chris said, the libertarians,

[06:41] damn libertarians are right about

[06:42] something every once in a while. And I

[06:44] mean, they were the conspiracy theorists

[06:46] were correct. I mean, you have a

[06:49] thoroughly corrupt bureaucratic system.

[06:52] Doesn't mean there's not still great

[06:53] people in that system. There are uh

[06:55] there are people even among, you know,

[06:57] the bureaucracy, frontline people who

[06:59] are still uh, you know, good people who

[07:01] want to do the right thing. But you have

[07:03] to clean out this entire thing. you this

[07:07] is the entire apparatus. Again, it's a

[07:09] pirate ship, right? Full of pirates who

[07:11] hate you when you come in on top uh and

[07:13] try to take it over. You got a clean

[07:15] house and you have tens of thousands of

[07:18] people who have been trained now for a

[07:19] long time such that they think this is

[07:22] a-okay. They were perfectly willing to

[07:24] go along with investigating 92

[07:26] Republican linked groups, you know, as

[07:28] Chris says, two years after the

[07:30] election, uh to surveil and investigate

[07:32] political opponents of the sitting

[07:34] president. So you this is not something

[07:36] that's acceptable. It's not something

[07:38] that we can allow to be normalized and

[07:39] it's something that's going to require

[07:41] deep structural reform and getting tens

[07:44] of thousand people out of there. I I

[07:46] don't see any other way around it.

[07:48] >> So Chris, let's bring this back to the

[07:50] audience, everyday people, right? What's

[07:52] the risk for average Americans out

[07:54] there? Because this isn't just DC elites

[07:56] or super PACs or whatever. like this is

[07:59] the federalized government of the

[08:02] biggest superpower in the world.

[08:06] >> There's a real risk and we saw it in the

[08:08] last under the Biden administration. And

[08:10] that's when I thought things were

[08:11] getting dangerous

[08:13] back when I the quaint thinking of

[08:15] things like that being dangerous before

[08:16] open assassinations and broad daylight.

[08:20] But when the FBI started going after

[08:21] normal people like the dad who defended

[08:24] his child at a pro-life rally, raided

[08:27] his house with guns drawn, um when when

[08:30] when local Pennsylvania attorneys who

[08:33] are leftwing, leftwing as heck and

[08:36] largely anti-atholic refused to actually

[08:38] prosecute, the feds swooped in, when

[08:40] they started putting grandmas in prison

[08:42] for crossing their leftwing uh rubrics

[08:45] or crossing Rubicon, what I don't know,

[08:48] crossing the lines the left had

[08:49] established about where you're allowed

[08:51] to pray. That's when I realized this

[08:53] stuff was getting dangerous. When they

[08:55] started arresting people who had nothing

[08:56] to do with January 6, which was bad

[08:59] enough, all the arrests they did, all

[09:01] the craziness of all the people they

[09:02] went after, but then when they started

[09:04] just arresting normal Christian

[09:06] Americans from the from the FBI, that's

[09:09] when I realized, oh, this is not just

[09:12] something that we have to worry about.

[09:14] This is a real threat to to this

[09:17] country. It's a real threat to

[09:18] stability. I mean, I learned this in

[09:20] some of the readings that Dr. Peterson

[09:23] assigned me way back in the day, but the

[09:25] incredible danger that exists when one

[09:28] side of the country doesn't feel like

[09:30] they need to respect the laws or abide

[09:32] by them and then the other side of the

[09:34] country that always did doesn't think

[09:35] the laws are able to protect them

[09:36] anymore. That's when you get to a

[09:38] boiling point as a country and that's

[09:40] where the FBI and the Democrats were

[09:42] pushing things at 100 miles hour.

[09:44] >> Well, Matt, you're the editor-in chief.

[09:46] we had on our website cashel. It's his

[09:50] greatest test. It's an article that you

[09:52] can go see uh at the blaze.com and this

[09:55] is going to be a huge deal for Cash

[09:57] Patel and and how people are going to

[09:59] view uh him as the director of the FBI.

[10:03] But can the FBI actually fix itself?

[10:05] Right? When we look at how systemic all

[10:08] of these problems are, is it going to be

[10:11] able to just be one man that comes out

[10:13] there and fixes this?

[10:15] >> Yeah. Look, this is an enormous problem.

[10:17] So, no matter who you put in charge of

[10:19] any of these agencies or departments,

[10:20] they have a herculean task before them.

[10:23] They have to clean out the Aian stables

[10:25] to use the uh ancient Greek that you

[10:27] know the stables were full of after

[10:29] centuries of use by horses. Uh Hercules

[10:32] changed the river to to you know to to

[10:34] to wash it all away, wash all the filth

[10:36] away. Somehow you have to figure out how

[10:38] to do that. So, this is a very difficult

[10:40] thing. Now, in Cash's case, look, I want

[10:42] to say I'm a huge supporter. I'm a huge

[10:44] fan. I I I wanted him to be confirmed.

[10:46] Uh but I do think that you have uh

[10:49] critics on the right now looking at some

[10:50] of these agencies saying and pushing

[10:52] what what is what are we going to do?

[10:54] What are we going to do to really change

[10:56] these things to really reform the

[10:58] structure of these places? And so

[11:00] scrutiny is a is a good thing. And I

[11:02] think that we owe it to ourselves to

[11:04] have the best people in place and we to

[11:06] make sure that everyone is marching to

[11:08] the same drum to actually reform the FBI

[11:11] because we don't have a lot of time and

[11:13] it's a really really serious business

[11:16] that we're discussing right now. So we

[11:18] need to see the plan for how the FBI is

[11:21] going to move forward and and change

[11:22] itself so that this stuff never happens

[11:24] again.

[11:25] >> Bedford, we'll give you the final word.

[11:26] >> They need to use the agents. They need

[11:28] to use those agents. I was going to jump

[11:30] in there anyways. such a piggy.

[11:33] You need to use the agents who were

[11:34] there who worked on the inside. Those

[11:36] guys who I know who were furious after

[11:40] January 20th, January 6th when every

[11:43] single FBI officer in the entire entire

[11:47] agency was put on investigating January

[11:51] 6. Doesn't matter if they're in human

[11:52] trafficking. Doesn't matter if they're

[11:53] organized crime. Doesn't matter if

[11:55] they're after fentanyl. Doesn't matter

[11:56] after if they're after all kinds of

[11:58] narcotics or mass murderers. the number

[12:00] one priority for every agent in the

[12:02] entire country was made January 6. So, a

[12:04] lot of those guys didn't actually want

[12:05] to do it, but that's the way the FBI

[12:07] was. And those people who were inside,

[12:09] those career officers who retired in

[12:11] time and told their kids, "Don't follow

[12:13] in my footsteps." They're the ones that

[12:15] Cash Patel needs much more than a couple

[12:16] outsiders to come in. They're the ones

[12:18] who can tell you where all the bodies

[12:20] are buried.
