>> Steve: KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.
BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WILL BE ON.
>> Brian: MEANWHILE, LET’S GO
OUT TO IOWA WHERE
SENATOR CHUCK GRASSLEY, THE
RANKING MEMBER OF THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IS UP FOR
REELECTION.
FIRST OFF, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS
RAID, THE ONE THING I DIDN’T
THINK IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN SO
EARLY WAS IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY
REPUBLICAN IS ON THE SAME PAGE.
EVEN MITCH McCONNELL SAYING WE
NEED ANSWERS TO WHY THIS RAID
TOOK PLACE.
NOT SOURCES OR IDEAS ABOUT WHAT
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.
THE FBI WAS LOOKING FOR.
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE?
>> THE PEOPLE OF IOWA ARE
OUTRAGED AT WHAT’S HAPPENING
HERE.
PARTICULARLY THE DOUBLE STANDARD
BETWEEN NEGOTIATING WITH
HILLARY CLINTON ON HER SERVERS
AND EMAILS.
WE KNOW THEY WERE COMPROMISED
FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.
BUT THEY NEGOTIATED WITH HARRY.
AND THEY RAID THE PRESIDENT.
AND I TALKED TO TWO DAYS AGO TO
THE FBI DIRECTOR ABOUT IT.
AND I DIDN’T GET ANY
SATISFACTORY ANSWERS.
AND WE NEED TO HAVE SOME TRUST
IN THE FBI.
YOU KNOW HOW I POINTED OUT
POLITICAL BIAS.
STARTING TRUMP INVESTIGATION AND
STOPPING HUNTER BIDEN
INVESTIGATION BY THE SPECIAL
AGENT IN CHARGE THAT HAD
POLITICAL BIAS AGAINST
REPUBLICANS.
AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE
OF THAT.
AND SO THE QUESTION I HAVE IS,
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO TELL THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE EXACTLY WHY THEY
DID IT AND WHY THEY DID IT AS
OPPOSED TO WHAT THEY DID
NEGOTIATING WITH
HILLARY CLINTON.
>> Brian: A CHRIS WRAY TELL
YOU THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE RAID?
>> I DID NOT GET AN ANSWER FROM
HIM.
I SAID, I BASICALLY SAID THIS.
"WHEN ARE WE GOING TO KNOW WHY
IT IS GOING TO BE -- WHY IT WAS
DONE AND HOW IT WAS DONE?"
YOU GET THE USUAL ANSWER UNDER
BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT
ADMINISTRATIONS.
WE DON’T TALK ABOUT AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION.
IN THIS CASE WHERE IT IS SO
HISTORICALLY WRONG TO RAID AN
EX-PRESIDENT’S OFFICE.
THAT IS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
I THINK WE DESERVE ANSWERS AT
THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.
AND THAT IS AT LEAST AT GARLANDS
LEVEL.
>> Ainsley: DID YOU GET THE
SENSE THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE
SOMETHING?
LIKE YOU SAID, IT IS SO RARE AND
UNPRECEDENTED TO BE THIS EXTREME
EXTREME.
>> I DIDN’T GET MUCH OF AN
ANSWER AT ALL.
THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG.
THIS IS A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
SUPPOSED TO BE.
BUT IT IS A DEPARTMENT OF TRUST
US.
AND THAT ISN’T THE WAY THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WORKS.
TRANSPARENCY BRINGS
ACCOUNTABILITY.
THIS EXTRAORDINARY ACTION ON
THIS ADMINISTRATION, WHETHER IT
IS BIDEN OR GARLAND OR
CHRIS WRAY OR SOMEONE UNDER THEM
THAT CHRIS WRAY DID KNOW ABOUT
IT, I DIDN’T EVEN GET AN ANSWER
ON THAT.
BUT WE NEED TO HAVE TRUST IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF FBI.
AND THIS JUST DESTROYS THAT
CONFIDENCE GOOD AND
PARTICULARLY, THE POLITICAL BIAS
THAT HAVE ALREADY PROVEN THROUGH
MY INVESTIGATIONS INTO THESE
OTHER INVESTIGATIONS THAT I JUST
STATED.
>> Steve: ’S AND VERY, IT
SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF STORIES WHERE ACCORDING TO
SOURCES WHO HAVE SPOKEN TO -- I
READ THIS MORNING IN
"ROLLING STONE" WHICH I HAD A
SUBSCRIPTION TO IN THE 1970s.
THEY’VE GOT A GOOD JOURNALISM
OUTFIT.
THEY HAD AN INFORMANT ON THE
INSIDE.
THEY SAY SINCE MAKING THE
PRESIDENT HAS WONDERED, DO YOU
THINK OUR PHONES ARE TAPPED?
SINCE MAY, THERE HAVE BEEN A
NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE THE
PRESIDENT HAS WONDERED WHETHER
ANY REPUBLICANS VISITING THE
CLUBS COULD BE WEARING A WIRE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY INSIDE
SAID, HEY, IN THIS ROOM, YOU
WILL FIND THIS.
IN THAT ROOM, YOU WILL FIND THAT
THAT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS SOME
HIGH DEGREE THAT GOING IN, THEY
KNEW WHERE THE STUFF WAS COMING
WHATEVER THE STUFF IS.
>> THOSE ARE ANSWERS THAT I
CAN’T SPEAK TO.
THE FBI DIRECTOR -- WHEN I HAD
MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM TWO
DAYS AGO, HE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT
THAT.
WE NEED ANSWERS TO THOSE
QUESTIONS.
THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGITIMATE.
EXTRAORDINARY ASPECTS OF A
FORMER PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY HAVING A HOUSE RATED FOR
INFORMATION.
AND PARTICULARLY WHEN IT IS SO
DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY THEY
HANDLED HILLARY CLINTON.
>> Ainsley: I KNOW YOU HAVE
HAD WHISTLE-BLOWERS COME TO YOU
AND TOLD YOU THE HUNTER BIDEN
STORY THAT THEY WERE
DISINFORMATION.
THE FBI FIELD OFFICES, I THINK
ONE WAS MDC.
THEY WERE TELLING YOU THAT THESE
WHISTLE-BLOWERS WERE TELLING YOU
THAT THESE TWO AGENTS DID NOT
WANT THAT STORY OUT THERE ABOUT
HUNTER BIDEN AND WERE CALLING IT
DISINFORMATION.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO THESE
WHISTLE-BLOWERS ABOUT THIS RAID?
WHAT ARE THEY SAY IS HAPPENING
INSIDE THE FBI?
>> I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY TALK TO
THEM.
I ASSUME THAT MY CHIEF
INVESTIGATOR HAS HAD
CONVERSATION WITH THEM.
>> Steve: I’M SURE IN
ADDITION, IN THE MORNING TO COME
I’M SURE IN ADDITION TO THE
SEARCH WARRANT EXECUTION THAT
HAPPENED A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO,
THE NEWS AS WELL THAT
APPARENTLY, THE IRS IS GOING TO
HIRE A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
THEY’VE GOT $80 MILLION TO HIRE
A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
ONE OF THE JOB POSTINGS AT THIS.
IF YOU GET THIS JOB, YOU’VE GOT
TO BE ABLE TO CARRY A FIREARM
AND BE WILLING TO USE DEADLY
FORCE IF NECESSARY.
BE WILLING AND ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN ARRESTS,
EXECUTION OF SEARCH WARRANTS,
AND OTHER DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENTS.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE IRS IS
ARMING UP.
>> ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE A
STRIKE FORCE THAT GOES IN WITH
AK 15’S ALREADY LOADED READY TO
SHOOT SOME SMALL BUSINESS PERSON
IN IOWA WITH THESE?
I THINK THEY ARE GOING AFTER
MIDDLE CLASS AND SMALL BUSINESS
PEOPLE.
BECAUSE BASICALLY, THEY THINK
ANYBODY THAT HAS PASS-THROUGH
INCOME IS A CROOK AND THEY
AREN’T PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE.
WE ARE GOING TO GO AFTER THEM.
AND WITH 87,000 ADDITIONAL
EMPLOYEES, YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT
THAT HARASSMENT IS GOING TO BE
THE MIDDLE CLASS IN OUR SMALL
BUSINESS PEOPLE.
>> Brian: EXAMPLE OF WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE 2 SEATS IN
GEORGIA.
YOU’VE GOT THE JAVITS DOWN THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE’S THROATS.
MEANWHILE, 12 MINUTES AFTER THE
HOUR, THE BIG NEWS IS IOWA,
FIELD OF DREAMS.
SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR.
FOXES AIRING THE GAME TONIGHT.
WHAT IS THIS SENSE ON THE GROUND
AS MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL COMES
TO YOUR GREAT STATE?
>> ISN’T GREAT FOR FOR IOWA?
THE MOVIE 32 YEARS AGO BROUGHT
TO IOWA, FIELD OF DREAMS.
THE PEOPLE WALK OUT OF THE
CORNFIELD AND THEY SAY, IS THIS
HEAVEN?
NO, IT’S IOWA.
THAT IS THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT
HERE.
WE WELCOME THE REDS AND THE
CUBS.
LAST YEAR, I SAW THE WHITE SOX
PLAY THE YANKEES.
TWO DAYS AGO, I SAW THE FIRST
MINOR LEAGUE GAME BETWEEN CEDAR
RAPIDS AND DAVENPORT.
7,000 PEOPLE WERE THERE.
THIS IS A NEW AWAKENING OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE TO THE GREAT
SPORT OF BASEBALL.
>> USED SOME OF YOUR POWER
THERE.
GET A MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM IN IOWA.
>> WE HAVE ALMOST GOT ONE WITH
THE IOWA CUBS AT DES MOINES.
>> Steve: THAT IS WHERE YOU
ARE SITTING.
FROM WHAT YOU DESCRIBED,
SENATOR YOU ARE THE U.S.
SENATOR FOR HEAVEN.
>> U.S. SENATOR FOR HEAVEN.
IF YOU ARE MORE INTERESTED IN
IOWA AND THE POLITICS OF IT, GO
TO THE WEBSITE.
>> Ainsley: WHERE YOU ABOUT TO
