WEBVTT - Future of Turning Point - September 17th, Hour 1 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:02.600 All right, thank you Scott Channon, Thanks to all of 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:05.360 you for being with us. Right down are toll free 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:06.960 telephone number. If you want to be a part of 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.320 the program. It's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:14.320 if you want to join us. Amazing things are happening, 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:21.160 and it's it doesn't surprise me. I don't think anybody 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:27.200 with any degree of accuracy can predict the magnitude and 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:32.000 the impact on our culture and society that this tragic 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.640 event and assassination of Charlie Kirk is going to have. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.800 We're beginning to see massive signs of it, you know. 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.159 But thirty two thousand requests for new Turning Point USA 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:49.319 campus chapters have been filed since Charlie Kirk's death, I mean, 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.560 and it's growing by the day. I'm staying in touch 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.920 with with people in the organization. They're telling me that 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.560 they've never seen anything like it. Later in the program, 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.520 we'll talk to our friend Selina Zito. Remember she was 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.960 only a few feet from President Trump when he was assassinated. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.520 She wrote the number one New York Times best selling 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.520 book Butler, The Untold Story of the near assassination of 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.920 Donald Trump in the Fight for America's heartland, and she 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.360 hasn't washed. An Examiner piece out today, and she's talking 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.440 about they went to the Sanctuary Church by the busloads. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.279 He tells the story about Pastor Jason Howard was taken 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.000 aback by the size and the scope of the number 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.120 of young people who came out on Sunday for service. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.360 He says, I'll be honest with you, I'm in my forties. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.680 I was caught off guard by the response from people 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.560 who were in my church in their twenties. They were 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.000 much more in tune with Charlie's influence than I was. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.320 Yet his assistant pastor, guy by the name of cold Yoka, 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.000 was very much tuned in twenty two. His immediate reaction 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.520 was too spontaneously, just put out on social media that 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.040 we were going to pray in the day after Charlie 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.320 was assassinated. We had a whole bunch of people just 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.560 gather in the backyard to pray. The response was going 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.600 to be bold and unashamed about the message of Jesus 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.200 more than ever before. You know, one of the things 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.760 I you know, I guess over time, as I've been 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.720 using the phrase, I'll continue to use it. We've become numb. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:30.160 We've become maybe just used to it as a new norm, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.760 you know. But there was this whole effort to kick God, 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.639 or even a mention of God out of the classroom 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.760 or out of public discourse. And you know, one of 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.640 the things that Charlie did is is go He'd go 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.000 on these college campuses. Now they are bastions of indoctrination, 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.480 but you know where they should have free, open, you know, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:59.960 vigorous debate, not just about politics, but also about faith, religion, 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.040 belief systems. You know, I love the idea of comparative religions. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.120 I did learn that myself when I went to school, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.280 and I did find it fascinating. You know, I myself 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.519 being raised Catholic, but I'm a non denominational Christian, and 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.880 I can tell you that without faith, I would not 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.760 be here today. And it was such an important aspect 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.640 of my life growing up because we went to church 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.600 every Sunday. At the time, I didn't always want to go, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.680 I'll be honest. And then I went to Catholic schools 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.360 for twelve years, and in high school I went to 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.800 a seminary and I studied theology in Latin and went 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.920 to Mass every day, and you know, it was a 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.840 school where it's even to get in it. They said, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.960 they said, you just have to at least be willing 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.320 to consider being a priest. After like three days, they said, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.480 everybody but him, and they pointed at me. They didn't 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.520 want me at that point. They knew I was pretty 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.120 encouragible at that point in my life to be very blunt. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.360 But to see this among young people, and I think 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.960 this was you know this as I didn't know the 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:15.920 magnitude and the foundational aspect of Charlie's missions as well 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.719 as I know it now having spoken to his pastor 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.160 both on radio and TV and offline, and what his 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.800 real mission was and how we'd go into these hostile environments. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.840 And a big part of his message was about his 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.160 deep faith. We heard that this from his wife Erica 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:39.560 last Friday night. The way he lived life, the things 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.480 that he was telling kids. I mean, this is what's 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000 the amazing part of it is. And Frank I keep saying, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.960 the genius behind it is that he was saying things 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:57.279 that kids would never otherwise hear on college campuses. Yeah, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.640 part of the message was about conservatism and making America great. 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.719 Part of it was about politics. Part of it was 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.640 Turning Point political action, but Turning Point also had you know, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.440 their faith based action, which is a big part of 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.240 their mission, and he was open about his faith. Very old, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.760 traditional standard values that used to be the norm in 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.440 this country. You know, think about how far as a 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.159 country morally we've fallen. I mean, look at our school 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.320 system for examples. You go back to the fifties and 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.359 sixties were the top problems in our school system. You know, 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.280 running in the halls, talking in class, chewing gum. What 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:42.880 is it today? You know, drug abuse, suicide, gangs, violence, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.719 I mean, how did we go so wrong? Maybe time 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.960 to you know, kicking God out of the classroom. Oh, Hannity, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.680 you're proselytizer. I'm not proselytizing. I'm just telling you my experience. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.640 And when people ask me in interviews and it comes 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.719 up often, you know, well, how do you explain your success? 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.440 I said, well, if that's what you want to call it, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.320 I think I've been living an undeserved life, and at 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.520 some point God will wake up and realize it's I'm 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.120 so undeserving and rightly take it from me. But I 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:28.200 do believe that this foundational experience of growing up with 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.760 faith in my life and my parents sacrificing so much. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.360 My mom the prison guard, working double shifts, my dad 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.400 working as a waiter on weekends. He was family corprobation, 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.840 and all of their spare money went to sending their 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.640 kids to Catholic schools, which they really couldn't afford, but 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.039 they did it by sacrificing in their own life and 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.719 not taking vacations. I can't remember a single family vacation 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.680 I ever went on. I can't, you know, remember my 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.559 parents until much later in years ever getting a new car, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.200 you know, an old piece of unk usually, and not 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.839 that I ever wanted for anything either. And and I 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.320 love the independence they gave me, but also the work ethic. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.320 And they didn't have a problem with the twelve year 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.760 old kids staying out, you know, working in a restaurant 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.840 washing dishes or being a cook and a restaurant twelve 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.080 thirteen years old, you know, flying home. They didn't know 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.520 I had my two same Polli girls and sat at 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.080 the bar at the time. Can you imagine that, twelve 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.640 thirteen years old sitting at a bar after you after 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.360 your shift, and then you know, drinking two same poly girls, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.440 and it was not It was not a big deal then. 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.720 And I remember I became a bartender at seventeen, and 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.400 you know, then I was closing the bar. Last call 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.840 was at four o'clock, closed the bar at four point thirty, 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.320 and you know, just head on out to the diner, 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.680 get some food, read newspapers because I was obsessed with 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.840 the news even at that point in my life. And 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.520 I I love the freedom it gave me. But the 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.800 things of my life that my parents gave me, that 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:12.960 foundational faith that has sustained me. And I would argue 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.520 when people ask me, you know, well, how have you 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.520 been able to achieve something that a lot of people 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.600 in this business don't achieve, And that's longevity, I would say, 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.800 Number one, it's definitely the work ethic of my parents. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.920 Number Two, I finally tuned conscience that I developed from 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.640 a very young age thanks to them and their sacrifice, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.160 and then my own natural pursuit of a spiritual life. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:44.439 Human beings are mind, body, and spirit, and that belief 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.920 in God is foundational to how you live your life, 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.880 and that keeps you out of trouble, you know, society 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.320 in many ways. You know, they'll say, oh, that's Catholic guilt. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.720 Oh that's you know, Jewish guilt. Oh that's no. I 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.760 think guilt is a good thing. And I've said this 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:08.200 many times before. That means you have a conscience. That 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.240 means that there is something within you that is that 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.880 is telling you, you know when you're everybody knows when 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.960 they're going to do something wrong, or at least most people, 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.520 unless you're a psychopath, then you don't have a conscience. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.959 Most good people, and most people are good. I believe 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.480 most Americans are good people. But to see this is 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.959 pretty incredible to me. And you know, Charlie would go 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.200 on these campuses and he talked about okay, yeah, don't 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.280 be the kid throwing up in the bushes, talked about 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.559 how he did not himself drink. I know a lot 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.480 of people in my life. They cannot drink. It changes, 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.120 it alters their personality. I learned so much as a bartender. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.520 There are people that can drink all night and you 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.959 would not tell the difference. It is amazing how you 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.880 how how unique it is to the individual. You know, 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.280 everybody I determined this is my own analysis of it. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.760 Everybody has a number a number of drinks that they 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.839 can have before it changes their personality. Everybody has a number. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.960 Some people's number is zero. Because one drink they either 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.640 can't stop it changes their personality. You know, it would 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.760 manifest itself and maybe stereotypically I'm saying this, but based 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.520 on my own observations, like guys would become aggressive. They 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.560 would tend to become aggressive, you know, or you know, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.959 get very love you bro, what's a bro? Love you man? 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.440 You're the best man one or the other. Girls would 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.600 tend to become more flirtatious than they would normally be 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.560 if they weren't drinking. But this is Charlie saying, well, 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.079 I don't drink. How many kids on college campus are 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.800 hearing that when they're all going to frat parties and 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.880 get and absolutely Adam Schiff faced uh, you know every 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.120 weekend night, you know. Or the fact that you know 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.520 kids are doing drugs on a more regular basis, which 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.160 as any parent when you have kids going to college, 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.120 that scares the crap out of you. Or the fact 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.440 that these kids you know are are going to church more, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.400 or that they want to develop their faith and they're 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.720 hearing from Charlie Kirk that you know, he views you know, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.760 traditional relationships, how you guys open the door for a lady, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.440 pay for your date, you know, don't be part of 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.640 hookup culture. Culture even talked about one. One one video 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.800 that I saw of him really caught my interest was 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:48.000 him looking at dating as like an interview process. Look, 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.920 I'm not here to proselytize. I'm not here to preach. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.880 I'm not a preacher, but i am here to say 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:03.120 that that's something happening and stirring in this country, the 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:08.720 magnitude of which we can't calculate now. And what Erica 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:13.120 Kirk said on Friday Night that you have no idea 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.840 what you have unleashed here seems to be manifesting itself 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:23.079 in real time. And that was the beauty of Charlie Kirk. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.959 And I'm looking at these numbers, and I'm looking at 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.000 this article. Selena Zito will join us at the top, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.560 and later I'll play for you a montage of people saying, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.720 you know what, I'm going to church today. I haven't 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.199 been there in twenty years, but I'm going and I'm 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.040 going for Charlie. I'm going to take Charlie's seat. One 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:46.880 guy said, I'm like, WHOA, how many thirty one year 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.079 olds can have that kind of impact on a country, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:56.360 and it's not just this country. I mean there was 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.079 a huge vigil for him in Great Britain and in 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.840 other countries are in the world. Pretty amazing movement that's happening. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.000 And you know what I had been saying that there's 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.240 two real things that it was genius behind what he did. 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.960 He went go into hostile environments saying things that kids 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.600 never heard before, and then these kids would hear it, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.760 and then some of them would bubble and fizz because 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.679 you know, they're woke, little indoctrinated robots and you're fascist, 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.839 Drew racist, you're sexist, you're a misogynist. And then he 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.160 would schell, okay, give me an example. They could never 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.680 give him an example. It was hilarious actually if you 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.000 put a montage of it together. Sad on the other 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.680 part that they just throw out these names with no 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.400 understanding what they're saying. And then the second part is 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.840 there's this whole other group of kids that were kind 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.840 of over the years, you know, forced to keep their 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.880 true beliefs quiet and be silent, and he gave them 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:04.400 a validation that they can speak out the way he 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.280 did and be a part of a group that's not 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.080 afraid to do that, and part of a group that's 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.840 whose purpose is to do that. Actually amazing times eight 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.880 nine four one sean. Yeah, of course I have the 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.160 pile of hate. And yet, by the way, the FED 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.960 did exactly what I told you they do. They cut 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.280 the interest rates zero point twenty five basis points. It's 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.880 a beginning. I think Jerome Powell knows he's out in May, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.160 and I think he doesn't want, you know, the next 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.720 FED chair to come in and make him look as 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.320 bad as he's going to look, so he'll he'll probably 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.720 have multiple rate cuts between now and the time he leaves. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.800 He just as I get into this, I want to. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.720 I want to. I want to get to something that 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:54.120 is critical here, and that is the FBI under Cash Battel. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.640 Then the DOJ really is, I mean it's part of 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.240 the DOJ. The FBI is tam Bondi, Cash Battel, Well 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.280 and Damn Bongino. I've known all three of them for 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.960 many years. And when I said last week, I have 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.320 faith and I have confidence in all of them. And 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.480 within thirty three hours now it wasn't conventional to put 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:19.280 out enhanced images of the shooter. But they did it 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.240 in the hopes that it would it would bring them 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:27.360 a lead to get the assassin of Charlie Kirk faster. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.400 It worked within thirty three hours. If you look at 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.680 the Sarnov brothers the Boston bomber, you know, it took 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.400 them what five days, you know, look at other cases, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.400 you know, look at the case that the Centennial bombing, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.000 it took six years. Look at Ted Kaczynski, the unibomber 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.480 seventeen years. You know, it's and so it was really 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:55.160 record time. And for whatever reason, I don't know completely 0:15:55.280 --> 0:16:03.400 why there is nothing but from the left in this 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.720 country as it relates to anything or anybody really related 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.560 to President Trump is what it comes down to. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:13.160 Now. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.920 There was an exchange yesterday cash matel going before uh 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.280 the Senate Judiciary Committee, or I believe it was the 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:26.720 Judiciary Committee, and he had this amazing exchange with the 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:31.280 congenital liar Adam Schiff, and that was about the FBI 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:36.000 agents and they're handling over January sixth, because and just 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.800 listen to the exchange, I. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.240 Think the American people believe the truth that I'm not 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.800 in the weeds on the everyday movements in what I am. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:49.200 Doing is protecting this country, providing historic affairs, and combating 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.560 the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of Europe. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.320 And we have talentlessly proven you to. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.920 Be a liar in Russia Gate in January sixth brought 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:05.679 to every States Senate disgrace this time and an utter calm. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.960 I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.639 You continue to lie from your perch and put on 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.760 a show so you can go raise money for your 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.119 char You are political buffoon at best. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:24.840 Well you can take that the FBI is protected this country, 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:30.640 stated California Historic Reforms. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:38.440 Wow, that was pretty powerful. Uh, then there was then 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.560 he got into a Corey booker. Let's play that. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.880 To what you said before the grand jury, to. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.040 Whatever was released. Under my understanding, Senator at the Department. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.040 Both understand the law. Let me finish you, and I 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.760 understand under Rule six of the Federal Rules of Procedure, 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.879 grand jury witness in this case, you is not barred 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.800 from sharing their grand jury testimony. This is an oversight hearing. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.959 This is Germane to your integrity and credibility. You know 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:15.760 right now whether or not you testified that President Trump 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.560 to classify the documents at issue in the Marlago classified 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.680 documents case. Why are you refusing to answer that simple 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.440 yes or no question right. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.400 Now because the premise of your question is inaccurate and. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.879 There is no premise to my question. But trying to 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.560 get to an order of what is truth or not? 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.120 How do you know what. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.800 Was asked in the grand jury if you weren't. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.919 There, Mistertelle, this is a mocker you're making of this 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:49.359 hearing and simple questions. During your nomination, you promised that 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:54.440 quote all FBI employees will be protected against political retribution. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.399 When I asked you, are you aware of any plans 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.720 or discussions to punish in any way, including termination FBI 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.040 agents or personnel associated with the Trump administration? 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:11.600 You, I mean, first of all, the ignorance of these senators, 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.720 and then I'll get to the congressman in a minute. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.720 Since Cash Battel has become the FBI director, more than 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.720 twenty three thousand violent criminals have been arrested, six thousand 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.840 illegal firearms have been taken off the streets they have located, 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.679 more than four thousand, seven hundred child victims. Fifteen hundred 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:38.560 child predators have been arrested. They have captured four top 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.800 ten most wanted fugitives. I would say that's a pretty successful, 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.160 you know, example of what it is that they're doing. 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.040 Here's Cash Battel talking about we have thirty five hundred 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.200 international terrorism investigations. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.600 Listen, we're going after the new form of what I 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.680 refer to as modern day terror in America. Seven sixty 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.760 four crimes that involve harming our children by going after 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:13.000 them online, causing self mutilation, suicide, sexual abuse, and steering 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.440 them in the wrong direction. Currently, we have thirty five 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:20.720 hundred international terrorism investigations. Specifically, we have in this country 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.440 seventeen hundred domestic terrorism investigations, a large chunk of which 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:28.679 are nehilistic violent extremism MVE, those who engage in violent 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.760 acts motivated by a deepatred of society, whatever that justification 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.879 they seem as. The FBI has seen a three hundred 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.399 percent increase in cases opened this year alone versus the 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:40.440 same time last year. 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:49.800 I mean, amazing, amazing investigation. Now, we also have learned 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:55.280 from Senator Chuck Grassley record showing that there's arctic frost, 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.679 that it was an FBI case that went up to 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:05.560 ninety two Republican linked targets, including Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:12.959 This is what Cash Patel inherited, a weaponized, politicized FBI. Listen, 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:14.640 after you. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.600 Wrote a book called government Gangsters. You identified twenty individuals 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.159 in that book. You put me on that list at 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:21.840 the top of the list. 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.160 Thank you. My children find it flattering. 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.680 Twenty of those individuals have been investigated or have had 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:32.840 adverse actions. Director, considering that you've identified these people as quote, 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:37.360 government gangsters, will you recuse yourself from making any investigation 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.119 decisions about these individuals? 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:40.800 All right, let me get to the right cut here. 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.600 I want to Chuck Grassley record showing about Arctic Frost. 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:45.520 Let's get the right cut. 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:50.639 It's called cross was the FBI case opened and approved 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:56.680 by Anti Truff's Trump FBI agent de bo Artie Fross 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:03.119 then became Jack Smith's elect case against then citizen Drump 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:07.080 and now President Drump. These new records show that Arctic 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.520 Frost was much broader than just in an electoral matter. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:19.119 The case was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:24.600 the group that ray FBI sought to place under political 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:32.120 investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney Generals Association, 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:40.240 and various Trump political groups. In total, ninety two Republican targets, 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:45.879 including Republican groups and Republican linked individuals, were placed under 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:51.879 investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:57.600 one of Charlie Kirk's groups turning Point USA. In other words, 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:05.200 artig Frost wasn't just case to politically investigate Trump. It 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:10.919 was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:17.960 Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.720 the entire Republican political apparatus. 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.159 Now him Jordan had a series of questions for Cash 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.440 Bettel about the FBI.

Listen, Director, Yes or no? 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.080 Is the FBI still spying on parents in school board meetings? 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:47.040 No, sir, Is the FBI still targeting Catholics? No, sir, 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.040 Is the FBI still spying on President Trump? 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:50.480 I don't believe so. 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.520 Is the FBI still censoring Americans? 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:53.800 Know, sir? 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.119 Is the FBI still targeting Americans for shopping at cabellas 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:58.240 or purchasing bibles. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:00.520 Nobody is targeted for their faith. 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.200 Is the FBI still targeting Americans who are pro life? 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.480 Nobody is targeting anyone for their beliefs. 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.440 Is the FBI is still cooking the books on crime data? 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:09.840 The crime data is real. 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.400 Is the FBI still purging agents for conservative viewpoints? 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.600 No one at the FBI has asked their viewpoints. 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.399 Is the FBI still labeling the Betsy Ross flag the 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:24.600 flag of the American Revolution, a hate symbol? No? Well, 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.200 maybe that's why you've been able to what was the number, 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.280 twenty three thousand bad guys. You've arrested a huge increase 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.920 from the same time period in the previous administration.

We appreciate that maybe when you're not 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:55.520 focused on politics, you can actually do what the FBI 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.119 is supposed to do. Go get the bad. 0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.320 Guys, right, That's what the men and women of the 0:24:59.359 --> 0:24:59.800 FBI do. 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.080 Then, of course you got the looney left and you 0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:09.080 got mister fang fag Eric Swollwell, here's that exchange. 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:12.760 After you wrote a book called government Gangsters, you identified 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.399 twenty individuals in that book. 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:16.679 You put me on that list at the top of 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.320 the list.

Director, considering that you have identified these people 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:31.359 as quote, government gangsters, will you recuse yourself from making 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.400 any investigation decisions about these individuals? 0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.600 Anyone that has been terminated at the FBI has been done. 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:39.240
