Summary
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan opens an investigation into FBI’s use of “geofence warrants,” a type of broad warrant which seizes all data from everyone using geo-fencing or phone data, by tracking Americans to pinpoint whether any crimes were committed without probable cause. The Ohio Congressman comments that these are similar to “general warrants” in English Law that the Founding Fathers explicitly rejected in the Fourth Amendment of the Constiution. Jordan says that legislation is being introduced to stop these types of broad warrants saying, for example with “Bank of America, [the FBI] will have to get a warrant to get this information, [the Bank] can’t be just turning it over, there has to be a specific warrant, that is our system, that is what this country was founded on.” Saying, “think about it, would Sam Adam think this is okay? Would John Adams? Would George Washington? Would any of those great Americans who started this experiment in Liberty we call America, the greatest nation ever, would they approve of what we’re seeing?” The Ohio Congressman says Republicans will be pursuing “legislation and frankly will also look at the appropriations process and how we can use the power of the purse, the power of the appropriations” to look at how “American tax dollars” are being spent to influence this.

| 0:30.8 | That is an earthquake, and it's the latest and a long line of Democrats being forced out of the |

| 0:50.3 | feel American to a lot of people, and particularly Democrats who grew up in a Democratic Party that |
| 0:55.4 | was founded on the principles of people like John Kennedy and Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, |
| 1:00.5 | even much more centrist than the Biden agenda of today. There is a long line, we saw a North |

| 1:23.1 | The truth of the matter is Joe Biden's form of Democratic politics is driving a lot of Democrats |
| 1:29.1 | from his own party. I would wonder one day if RFK is going to feel comfortable in this party, |
| 1:34.3 | given the way he's been treated in the early primary stage. That's a dynamic that we're keeping |
| 1:39.5 | a close eye on. There's a deal emerging for five Americans held a prisoner in Iran to be swapped |
| 1:45.8 | out for $6 billion cash in some prisoners. I guess we do pay for people being taken, which I think |
