A bombshell report about the FBI spying on Republican senators. We have a deep dive look at the upcoming Supreme Court term. All of that and so much more today on 10 Minute Drill. Everybody get up. Get up. The story of America is the story of an adventure.

I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free.

On Monday, a bombshell report was released by the Senate Judiciary Committee revealing that the FBI had tapped phone records of eight Republican senators as a part of the probe into the January 6th fallout. Attorney General Pam Bondi testified in the Senate on Tuesday on this issue.

This is the kind of conduct that shatters the American people's faith in our law enforcement system. We will work to earn that back every single day.

Republican senators are demanding transparency into this, an investigation into how this was allowed to happen under the Biden administration. We will report back as more findings come out. In her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Pam Bondi made a point of calling out Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.

When you talk about corruption and money that you that when you pushed for legislation that would subsidize your wife's company.

The questions here are actually pretty specific. So having you respond with completely irrelevant far right Internet talking points really is not very helpful here.

Far right Internet talking points. Well, let's check the record on that. Here's from FOX News. Meet Sandra Whitehouse, whose husband's votes funneled millions into NGO that pays her. We have talked extensively here about Sheldon Whitehouse's wife's work for an organization called Ocean Conservancy and the fact that Sheldon Whitehouse has voted multiple times for grant programs that have diverted money directly to her organization that she and Sheldon in turn have profited from. I'm going to read this from Fox. Ocean Conservancy has notably received more than 14.2 million in federal grants since 2008. A according to USAspending.gov it was given two sizable grants in just 2024. The former was funded by the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the latter was funded by the EPA's annual appropriations bill. The senator voted for both. So again, as Senator Whitehouse attempts to dismiss these as Internet far right talking points, the record's pretty clear. There are financial documents that show the fact that Sheldon Whitehouse's wife's organization received this money from these grant programs. And the record is also very clear on the fact that Sheldon Whitehouse voted for them. So once again, a reminder that the Democrat Party's czar of Internet conspiracy theory lore and dark money conspiracy theories is also a major corrupt figure in this story. On Tuesday we talked extensively about the dynamics of the current shutdown and the fact that the longer it goes on, the worse it gets for Democrats. In part because people are getting to know more and more about just how absurd the Democrats demands are. Everything from the that free healthcare for illegal immigrants to giving Medicaid to able bodied couch potatoes playing video games in their underwear. But also the absurdity of the Obamacare premium subsidies that we talked about extensively give taxpayer dollar subsidies to families making $600,000 a year. Absurd. My point was proven with new polling from Harvard Harris. 70% opposed the government shutdowns, 65% say Democrats should accept Republicans clean nonpartisan continuing resolution, 55% say Democrats are just trying to please their base. Monday night Democrats once again voted against the bill that would reopen the government and begin the debate on all these issues that they care about. We will continue to track this closely and highlight the different ways Democrats are making this more difficult for themselves. We wanted to give a quick preview. We are one month out from major elections both in Virginia and New Jersey. Virginia we've talked about quite extensively. At the top of the ticket you have Abigail Spanberger, who has gotten a lot of heat over the last several months for refusing to answer questions on first the primary major issue of allowing men into women's locker rooms, bathrooms and sports. Spamberger has avoided this question like the plague, which has left Virginians wondering why. What is her actual position on this policy. But this race has also been completely upended by revelations that we covered on Tuesday of Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones fantasizing about murdering his political opponents, watching their children die, and also talking favorably about what would happen if police were killed in the line of duty. The Fraternal Order of Police has already called on Jones to drop out, which is very difficult for, for somebody who wants to serve as the top law enforcement officer in the state. Spamberger continues to avoid answering that question at all. Spamberger and Republican candidate winsome Earl Sears will face off tonight in a gubernatorial debate down in New Jersey. This race has also been upended by a Democrat candidate who has failed to answer basic questions and provide transparency. One issue that particularly percolated in the last month was a question that she got on the show the Breakfast Club about stock trades. Did you make 7 million in stock.
