1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: The fact is that the removal of Title forty two 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: does not mean the border is open. Proud of the 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: fact that with a democratic president, of democratic House, and 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Senate, we were able to achieve through this OMNU 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: a spending bill essentially all of our priorities.

It's entitled 55 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: doj Snooped on House Intelligence Committee investigators during the Russia probe? 56 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: Subpoenas show Talk to us about that. Tell us what 57 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you found out. Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary. Five years ago 58 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: this month, the Justice Department secured grand jury subpoenas in Washington, 59 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: DC to get the phone and email records of two 60 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: of then House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunaz's top investigators. 61 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: These are the investigators like Cashpotel who were leading the 62 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: unraveling of the Russia collusion narrative, and the subpoenas are 63 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: executed during a very sensitive time in the House Intelligence 64 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: Committees invest It is right at this time that they 65 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: learned that Hillary Clinton funded the bogus Stasier. It's right 66 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: at this time that they learned that the FBI had 67 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: lied to the fisuccort and also omitted information from the Fisuccorp. 68 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: They also had just learned that some of the informants 69 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: that the FBI was using to target the Trump campaign 70 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: had uncovered exculpatory evidence, evidence of innocence. At that very moment, 71 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: when the House Intelligence Committee is getting a sense of 72 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: just how bad the Justice Department and FBI's conduct has 73 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: been in the Russia collusion case, the DOJ goes out subpoena's. 74 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Google gets the phone and email data of at least 75 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: two of the staffers. There's a belief there may be more. 76 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: But two of those staffers were notified this month that 77 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: five years ago their records have been taken. Why did 78 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: they get notified? Google has a five year notification role, 79 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: which is five years after we get a subpoena, if 80 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: we give up some of your records, we tell you. 81 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: And so Cash Ptell and one other staffer got this 82 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: notification in the mail just before Christmas. This is an 83 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: extraordinary intrusion on congressional oversight. I have talked to Democrats, Republicans, 84 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: legal experts, longtime congressional investigators, all of them mortified that 85 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: this has happened, and they're all demanding answers. And it 86 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: looks like Jim Jordan is going to get those answers. 87 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: He promises this will be a major focus of his investigations. 88 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: In January, so the DOJ decided to investigate the investigators 89 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: who were investigating the DOJ. Right, you got it right, 90 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: That's exactly how it happened. I mean, it's the DOJ's 91 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: snooping to use your term on the Intel Committee came 92 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: just weeks after that committee subpoenaed the DOJ, the FBI, 93 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: and the CIA to produce documents that show they knew 94 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: that the dossier was phony and had been funded by 95 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: a Hillary Clinton's campaign, and that you know, the DOJ 96 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: and the FBI had lied the FAI support to gain 97 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: lawless warrants to spy? Do I have that about right? 98 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: You do? In fact, when I first interviewed Devin Newness 99 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: about this, after he learned about the fact that his 100 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: investigators had been targeted, he said, they were spying on me. 101 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: They were just trying to find out what my investigators. 102 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: Then he raised another very interesting question. He asked, why 103 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: did they target their private emails if they were doing 104 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: congressional work, why not target their congressional things? He said, 105 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: I think they were looking for dirt on me and 106 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: my investigators to try to leverage us. He actually accused 107 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: them of running a blackmail operation seeing if they could 108 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: find anything that they could then use to pressure Newton 109 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: as an a staffers to back off. Revealing is terrible. 110 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: That of pretty dramatic allegations by someone who ran one 111 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: of the most important committees in Congress. The nefarious Rod 112 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: Rosenstein was basically the acting Attorney General after Sessions recused himself, 113 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: and there's an infinite This meeting January tenth, twenty and eighteen. 114 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: I well remember it because I was alerted to it 115 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: immediately afterwards by somebody who attended the meeting, and then 116 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I talked to two people who were in the meeting, 117 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: and I reported it that Rosenstein had lost it during 118 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: the meeting. He was angry that the Intel Committee wanted 119 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: to see evidence of wrongdoing, and Rosenstein was in cover 120 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: up mode, right, And so Rosenstein becomes utterly unglued, starts 121 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: yelling and screaming at the staffers and threatens to subpoena 122 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: their house intel records in an act of retribution, right, 123 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: And I, you know, I reported it, got a lot 124 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: of heat for it, and sure enough, couple of months later, 125 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: others at Fox News corroborated it and confirmed my initial 126 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: reporting of it. But that's apparently what Rosenstein did. I mean, 127 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: he said he was going to subpoena house intel records, 128 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: He goes to a grand jury secretly, and he does 129 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: exactly that. And you know the funny thing about it 130 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: is I suspected this was going on, and of course 131 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: I was writing a book about it, so I was, 132 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to sources people associated with 133 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: the Intel Committee, and whenever I communicated with them, I 134 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: assumed in my texts and emails and even phone conversations 135 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: that the FBI and the DJ were listening in. And 136 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: you know, it looks like they probably were. Yeah, I listened. 137 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: That's the scary part here, and what we don't know 138 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: is what we don't know when you look at the 139 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: subpoena that Caspitel got where they unmasked his name as 140 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: one of the people, it's a block about three and 141 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: a half four inches long enough to probably have eight 142 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: or ten other people's listed as potential targeting targets of 143 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: the subpoenas. So Devin Unez and Cash Betel others have 144 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: raised the possibility that there may be others who don't 145 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: know it, maybe haven't checked their Google email to find 146 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: out that they too had their phone records or email taken. 147 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: This is a very, very scary scenario because what you 148 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: have is our founding fathers always intended that Congress and 149 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: the executive branch have a separation of powers, that they 150 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: couldn't spy on each other, they couldn't become hostile to 151 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: each other, that they each would be able to work 152 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: and have certain powers that couldn't be intruded upon by 153 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: the other. This is clearly an intrusion on the Congressional 154 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, and there has been crickets the Justice Department, 155 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: the FBI, Rod Rosenstein. I've reached out to them multiple times. 156 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: They won't answer any questions about this. We won't get 157 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: the truth until we get Jim Jordan in action next 158 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: year at the House Judiciary Committee. But I think we're 159 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: going to find out a lot more about what was 160 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: going on in that period and how just how far 161 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: the executive branch feels its authority is to price by 162 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: on Congress. I think we're gonna learn a lot more 163 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: next year about this. Greg. My guest is John Salomon. 164 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: He's going to stick around for another block I want 165 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: to talk to him about another of his blockbuster columns 166 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: about Nancy Pelosi's role in the January sixth failed security 167 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: her direct role in it.

You can talk to us 177 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: about the Twitter files, which we delved into in great 178 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: detail in the last hour. But I want to go 179 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: back right now to John Solomon, editor in chief adjust 180 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: the News, and John, one of your most recent stories. 181 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: You're always breaking stories, but this one is entitled House 182 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: GOP locates emails and texts showing Nancy Pelosi's office was 183 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: directly involved in the failed January sixth security What did 184 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: you learn? Yeah, this is very important because in February 185 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, see Pelosi stood in front of 186 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: the cameras during one of her weekly press conferences and said, 187 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with the airlines. I have 188 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: no control over the Capitol police. That simply isn't true. 189 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: By the way, mainstream media picked up on that did 190 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: all these truth watches, which are clearly debunked by the 191 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: text messages that we have now made public. At the 192 00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: House Republicans were five House lawmakers. They did on their own, 193 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: with no committee, with no budget. They went and were 194 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: able to secure these text messages, and what they show 195 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: is that Pelosi staff was routinely meeting with the security 196 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: staff and the Capitol Police starting in early December twenty 197 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: twenty right up to the hours before January sixth started. 198 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: They were involved in the plan. They were briefed in 199 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: the security plan that failed that day. They even edited 200 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: some of the documents related to that security plan. They 201 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: had their hands and fingers in this planning all along. 202 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: Contrary to what Nancy Pelosi said, and in fact one 203 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: of the things that Nancy Pelosi says well was a 204 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: Capitol Police board they make the decisions. When the final 205 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: decision was made to belated at least summon the National Guard, 206 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't the Capitol Police board that made that decision. 207 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi herself had the command and made that decision, 208 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: signed off on that decision, clearly debunking which he told 209 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: the American people eighteen months ago. She did have a 210 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: significant role on her staff, had a significant role crafting 211 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: a plan that miserably failed to tech the capital. Why 212 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: would it fail? From from December twenty one, twenty twenty four, 213 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Capitol Police routinely and regularly received intelligence reports from the FBI, 214 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: from the Hollman Security Department, from the District of Columbia Police, 215 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: and from the US Marshal Service, saying bad people were 216 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: coming to Washington and were intent on doing bad things 217 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: at the Capitol, specifically warning they wanted to storm the Capitol, 218 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: they wanted to target lawmakers, they were going to invade 219 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: the tunnels around the Capitol. Much of the behavior that 220 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: occurred on January six was being relayed as threat intelligence 221 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: assessments to the Capitol Police going back to December twenty first. 222 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: Despite all of that intelligence warnings, the security plan that 223 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: was put together that day had no National Guard, had 224 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: only a skeleton staff of police officers, many of them 225 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: without riot gear available to them. The security plan failed miserably, 226 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: even though we give this police department, the Capitol Police Department, 227 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars a year to keep the capital safe. 228 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: And one of the things you learn in these text 229 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: messages the reason that the Capitol Police didn't get what 230 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: they wanted they were the political leaders around them kept 231 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: saying they were worried about the optics. They didn't like 232 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: the optics of armed police officers protecting the capital. They 233 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: didn't like the optics of National Guard maybe walking around. 234 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: When you make security decisions, you don't make political optics decisions. 235 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: You make security decisions. These text messages show that they 236 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: had the wrong standard for security and that Nancy Pelosi 237 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: and her team were directly involved in it. So it's 238 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: no wonder to me then, since Republicans were going to 239 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: dig into this if they had been able to put 240 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: their own members on the J six committee, that Nancy 241 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: Pelosi rejected their selections and this turned out to be 242 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: a partisan stacked the committee right absolutely by keeping Jim 243 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: Jordan and others off, they took away some of the 244 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: best investigators Republicans could have on the committee and try 245 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: to get the other side of the story right. There's 246 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: a lot of it. We know bad people did bad 247 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: things that day. Don't know except for the good work 248 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: that these five Republican lawmakers did after the fact, Jim 249 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Jordan and Rodney Davis among them, Troy Nells. We don't 250 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: really know why the police force failed so spectacularly. We've 251 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: known the Capitol has been a target for violence of 252 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: Terris and others for two decades, since nine to eleven. 253 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: We had a woefully unprepared a group of police ready 254 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: that day. And I'll give you there's another anecdote. I 255 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: read you what John let me let me just have 256 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: you hold that thought stick around. We'll be right back 257 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: with John Solomon after the break. And this is Greg 258 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Jared filling in for Sean Hannity. You want to thank 259 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: you for joining me today. Be sure to give us 260 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: a call. We're gonna be talking more in just a 261 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: moment about the Twitter files. One eight hundred nine four 262 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: one seven three two six. That's nine four one seven 263 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: three two six. Back now with my guests this hour. 264 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: John Solomon, editor in chief of Just the News. It's 265 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: a terrific website. You've got to check it out. Author 266 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: of the book Fallout, also an excellent book that's still available. 267 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: You can get it in bookstores or online. And John, 268 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: we were talking a moment ago about your most recent story, 269 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: text messages, emails showing that Nancy Pelosi was directly involved 270 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: in the failure of security on January six. Didn't like 271 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: the optics of armed officers in National Guardsmen visible to 272 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: the public, even though she and others had been made 273 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: aware that it could get quite dangerous that particular day. 274 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: And you were about to tell me something. I had 275 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: to interrupt you. Please continue. Yeah, it's talking about the 276 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: poor security mindset we've known the Capitol is a target 277 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: of terrorists and other bad people. We've known it for 278 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: a long time. The day before the January six riots, 279 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: believe it or not, there was another threat that came 280 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: into the Capitol Police Department to the House Sergeant Arms 281 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: and the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who are the two 282 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: political officers that report to Nancy Pelosi and to Chuck Schumer, 283 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: and it said that there was a possibility that an 284 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: airliner would be flown into the Capitol, a terrorist attack 285 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: into the Capitol. Not a single person was alerted in 286 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: the Capital to that new threat, not the leadership, not lawmakers. 287 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: Late at night on the fifth before the rioting started, 288 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: media started to report this threat, and all of a 289 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: sudden leaders started calling and saying, hey, Capitol Police, Sergeant 290 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: at Arms, what do you know about this? And they're like, oh, yeah, 291 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: we forgot to tell you about it. There was this 292 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: lais a fair security apparatus said didn't react to a 293 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: plane threat or all the intelligence that suggested January sixth 294 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: was there. That security apparatus ultimately reported to the House Speaker. 295 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: The failures here are enormous, and we still spent two 296 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 1: years investigating January six without once really looked at all 297 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: of the security failures, what could have been done better 298 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: by police, by the security officers that reported the speaker. Hopefully, 299 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, we not only get a better 300 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: accounting of what happened, we start to put real fixes 301 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: in so that the Capitol building isn't going to be 302 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: vulnerable in the future, you know. And in the meantime, 303 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: on January sixth, Nancy Pelosi has her daughter following around 304 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: with a camera to you know, for a documentary to 305 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: show how heroic Nancy Pelosi was that particular day. That 306 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: strikes me as a bit of a set up with 307 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: advanced knowledge that they knew things we're going to get 308 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: out of hand, and oh, let's show mom, Let's show 309 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: how brave mom is. Yeah, the speaking of optics, those 310 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: are bad optics right there. Maybe they should have spent 311 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more time planning for the security and 312 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: a little less time thinking about a political documentary. There 313 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: are so many things that remarkably, two years after this 314 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: or event, we still don't know. And when I talk 315 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: to people members of Congress, I've interviewed many whistleblowers in 316 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: the Capitol Police Department over the last few months they 317 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: all tell me the same thing. The capital is still 318 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: not secure. The mindsets, the bureaucratic bungling is still directly 319 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: visible to us here, and nobody seems to care. Nobody's 320 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: taking notice of it or making actions to fix it. 321 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: I think that changes in January when you talk to 322 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: people like Congressman Troy Nels or Jim Jordan. They have 323 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: their eye on this. They're going to make this a 324 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: big thing. But for two years, Pelosi not only failed 325 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: on January six, she made sure the committee that investigated 326 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: that event wouldn't look at the very issues that fell 327 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: on her watch, on her capability to maybe do something 328 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: to make the capital safer them. Yeah, she commendared the 329 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: committee to avoid any embarrassment over her own failures that 330 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: appear to be increasingly deliberate. She could have stopped what 331 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: was happening there, and she didn't do it. I've heard 332 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: people say, well, she probably wanted it to unfold as 333 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: it did to further Sully and damage Trump. I don't 334 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: know about that, but it's certainly a question that should 335 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: be posed. I want to ask you about the Twitter files, 336 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: because you've been covering it quite a bit. There is 337 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: now compelling evidence that the FBI pressured Twitter the censor 338 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: of the Hunter Biden laptop story. In advance of the 339 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election. Blacklists were composed targeting vocal conservatives, 340 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: critics of Joe Biden, disfavored treats. Tweets were prevented from trending, 341 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: account holders banished based on phony grounds. Shadow banning was 342 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: deployed as a political weapon. Evidence proves the Twitter executives 343 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: d platform Trump, despite their private admissions that no legitimate 344 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: basis existed for doing so, and has long suspected the 345 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: FBI was playing an integral role in all of this. 346 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: Weren't they? They were, And it's important to note it 347 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: was two hundred and thirty one years ago this month. 348 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: It was two and three one years ago this December 349 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: that the Bill of Rights was finally ratified, and the 350 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: very first protection afford it was the protection of free 351 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: speech declaration that the government could not use its power 352 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: to infringe free expression. We now have overwhelming evidence that 353 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: government agencies, the FBI, the Hollman Security Department, several of 354 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: the health bureaucracies all use their government power to pressure Twitter, Facebook, 355 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: and other social media platforms to censor Americans. Contents. When 356 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: this first came out and there were suggestions of it 357 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: the FBI total system. We don't do this. We only 358 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: focus on foreign disinformation, foreign misinformation that has now been disproven. 359 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: The FBI set up a command center in San Francisco, 360 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: under the direction of a special agent name Elvis Chan 361 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: that would routine lea forward censorship requests to the social platforms. 362 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: He testified that he succeeded about fifty percent of the 363 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: time in getting something taken down or action taken against 364 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: a particular post. And he also testified that the approval 365 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: for this came from FBI headquarters, meaning every request that 366 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: would come to him had the importer of FBI headquarters 367 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: approval before he sent it on to the social media companies. 368 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: This was a large systematic operation. It succeeded often. There 369 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: were clear examples of Americans that were targeted. There was 370 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: an example that Philon Musk released of an Indiana councilman, 371 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: a Republican, who had his post about election integrity censored 372 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: at the request of the FBI and others. Homeland Security 373 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: had a similar operation. They outsourced it to a third 374 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: party called the Election Integrity Partnership. They were doing similar 375 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: things across multiple federal agencies. Massive amounts of requests were 376 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: coming in to censor free speech in America. Americans opinions, 377 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: sometimes them very truthful. One of the things we learned 378 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: on Monday was that accurate information about COVID was censored 379 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: when it went against the narrative that Anthony Fauci and 380 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: the health bureaucrats in Washington wanted. So accurate information Americans 381 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: free speech being targeted by the federal government clearly a 382 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: contravention of the very Bill of Rights in the first 383 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: Amendment that our founding fathers gave us two hundred and 384 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: thirty one years ago. This month, Well said, Hey, John, 385 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: let's take a couple of phone calls. What do you say? 386 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: I'd love it all right, let's go to our phone lines. 387 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: Jason in North Carolina joins us now and Jason, thanks 388 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: for hanging on for a while. How are you good yourself? 389 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: I'll get right to it. Better with me while I 390 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: laid this out. The Republicans I've already said that they 391 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: plan to investigating by the President, and that based off 392 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: to the since they got off the laptop, groups have 393 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: already formed to say that they're going to investigate them. 394 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, we know, is under investigation for weapons and 395 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: taxes in Delaware if I remember correct, Yeah, money laundering, 396 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: in fraud, and bribery and you name it. Now. He 397 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: hasn't been charged yet, right. The question is is there 398 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: a possibility or the likelihood that if they do indict 399 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: him in Delaware, that a judge could then seal evidence 400 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: based from the computer the laptop from Hell yeah, base 401 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: off of that, seal that and stop the Republicans dead 402 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: in their tracks with an investigation. Well, one of the 403 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: things that I think one of the reasons why the 404 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: Department of Justice has been dragging their feet on bringing 405 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: any criminal charges against Hunter Biden is it offers them 406 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: a vacuous pretax so that when people start getting subpoenas 407 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: to testify about, you know, the cover up of Hunter 408 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: Biden and Hunter Biden's influence peddling schemes themselves, people will 409 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: be able to say, well, there's a penning federal investigation. 410 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: I can't talk about it. What do you think, John, Yeah, listen, 411 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: we saw that in real action. At the last time 412 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: that FBI Director Chris Ray was before Congress a few 413 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago, he was asked several Talis about hundred Biden 414 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: every time he said, I can't talk about it's an 415 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: active investigation. You can't talk about it, won't talk about 416 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: active investigations. So that stiff armed was used regularly in 417 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: the last few months of this past Congress, and I 418 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: assume it will again in the next Congress. Now, the 419 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: one thing that can't be stopped is if something's already 420 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: in the public, it can't be taken back out of 421 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: the public. Laptop is clearly in the public, and Congress 422 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: can go and get other witnesses. They could go maybe 423 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: get the former business partners of Hunter Biden. I would 424 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on on Devin Archer, a former business partner. 425 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: He's been convicted, he's about to go to jail. He's 426 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: a sort of guy that could potentially be flipped by 427 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Congress and get really incredible testimony because he was in 428 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: contact with both Joe Biden and Unter Biden during critical 429 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: times in this scandal. So the Congress can go after 430 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: other witnesses and try to force them to testify, But 431 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: the FBI the Justice Department are going to almost always 432 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: hide behind They can't talk about it. It's an active investigation, 433 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: right right, And I am convinced that is why the 434 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: dj Not only do they not want to charge the 435 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: president's son because the evidence also implicates the president himself, 436 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: but they just want to drag this thing out to 437 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: avoid answering questions when Republicans take control and begin investigating 438 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: and issuing subpoenas and asking inconvenient questions. Let's take one 439 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: more caller. Doug joins us now from Kansas, where I 440 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: lived for a couple of years, met my wife there. Doug, 441 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. What's your question or coming? Well? 442 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: I've been listening to you, and I've listened to some 443 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: other talk shows, and this kind of corruption has been 444 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: going on at least for six years, the Russia collusion, 445 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: the misuse of FISA, the FBI, and everybody keeps saying 446 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: the rank and file are okay. When you when a 447 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: country loses the justice Department, you've lost the country. The 448 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: bureaucrats are able to do whatever they want. My vote 449 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: doesn't count because they suppressed the stories, and people were 450 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: elected because the truth wasn't told. Yeah, you know, I 451 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: don't see how we can just I mean, you wrote 452 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: books what happened? Yeah, I listen, you're preaching to the choir, John, 453 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: what do you think about that? But listen, one of 454 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: the most interesting dynamics. I've been covering the FBI for 455 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: thirty years as a journalist. Maybe in that time I've 456 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: covered seven or eight whistleblower whistleblowers who came forward with 457 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: information about the FBI lab or about nine to eleven. 458 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: There are twenty rank and file FBI agents and FBI 459 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: employees who in the last six months have come forward. 460 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: That's more than I've seen in my entire career in 461 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: a six month window coming forward talking to Jim Jordan, 462 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, Chuck Crassey, and some other lawmakers. Now that 463 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: I've learned about twenty in a few months, that's more 464 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: than I've seen in twenty or thirty years of my reporting. 465 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: I think the rank and file, the very first, very 466 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: people that the callers talking about. They are agitating. They 467 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: have finally become so disgusted that they can't do their 468 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: job that they're willing to risk their careers. I interviewed 469 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: Steve Friend, the agent who's almost certainly going to be 470 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: fired for going public. He laid out all of the 471 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: potential civil rights abuses that went on during the January 472 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: six investigation. There are FBI agents and Justice Department employees 473 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: for the first time having the gumption to come forward, 474 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: risk their jobs and say we're going to blow the 475 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: whistle on what we've observed over the last five or 476 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: six years. Yeah. My guest, who's been this hour? John Solomon, 477 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: editor in chief of Just the News, author of the 478 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: book fall Out.

There are a great many things that 489 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: need to be investigating, at the least of which is 490 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: FBI corruption identified not only by FBI whistleblowers more than 491 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: a dozen who has stepped forward, but the bi's corrupt 492 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: role in violating the First Amendment by pressuring and coercing 493 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: and manipulating Twitter and other social media companies into killing 494 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the last presidential election, 495 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: apparently to protect Joe Biden, falsely claiming it was Russian 496 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: disinformation when the FBI well knew that it was not. 497 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: There are also going to be investigations into the Afghanistan 498 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: debacle and school board meetings, and counter terrorism and criminal 499 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: actions involving that the origins of COVID nineteen.
