1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: information overload. 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: All right, News roundup and information overload. Our toll free 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: our number is eight hundred nine point one. Sean, you 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: want to join us to be a part of the program. 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: I think this might have been Matt Gates, Congressman from 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: Florida's finest day on the House Judiciary Committee. And he's 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: had many great days there, one of the great interrogators 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: on that committee. And with these hearings going on with 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: Director Raid today, I want to play some of these 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: exchanges with Matt Gates and then he will join us 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: in just a minute. 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 3: You know. 14 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: At one point he asked Ray if he's protecting the 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: Bidens after reading Hunter's WhatsApp message, because that message couldn't 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: be any more clear. It's like the Corleone family. Sounds 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: like a shakedown. Less than a week later, Oh magically, 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: five million dollars shows up in the Biden family coffers, 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: which is pretty amazing. Let me play that. 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 4: American people need to understand what just happened. 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 5: My Democrat colleague just asked the director of the FBI 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 5: whether or not they are buying information about our fellow Americans, 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 5: and the answer is well, we'll just have to get 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 5: back to you on that. Sounds really complicated, But I 25 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 5: have other questions. I'm sitting here with my father. I 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 5: will make certain that between the man sitting next to 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 5: me and every person he knows, and my ability to 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 5: forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 5: my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 5: with my father. Sounds like a shakedown, doesn't a director. 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 6: I'm not going to get into commenting on that. 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 5: Well, you seem deeply uncurious about it, don't you almost 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 5: suspiciously uncurious? 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: Are you protecting the bidens? 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 6: Absolutely not the FBI. 36 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 5: You want to answer your question about whether or not 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: that's a shakedown, and everybody knows why you won't answer 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 5: it because to the millions of people who will see this, 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 5: they know it is, and you're inability to acknowledge that 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 5: is deeply revealing about you. 41 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: Pretty amazing exchange. Then Matt goes into the issue and 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: Ray doesn't answer how many illegal PIZA searches have happened 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: under his watch? That would be something we need to know, 44 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: considering James Comy knowingly. But we know he knew because 45 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: in early October he tried to offer a million dollars 46 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: to Christopher Steele on the dirty dossier to corroborate any 47 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: part of it. A million dollars is a lot of money, 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: but of course he couldn't corroborate it anyway. So, under 49 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: questioning by Matt Gates, Ray does not answer how many 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: illegal searches happened under his watch, and then m Gates 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: grills Ray, grills Ray over whether he purged himself over 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: FIZA being used in the January sixth investigation, then points 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: out to Ray that his FBI has a lower approval 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: rating than Hoover whitewashing conduct of corrupt people. 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: Let me play these, let's go from the uncurious to 56 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: the downright. Note, see how many illegal FISA queries have 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 5: occurred under your leadership of the FBI. 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 7: Well, there are reports that have come out with different 59 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 7: numbers about compliance incidents, more. 60 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: Than a million illegal ones, because that's what the Inspector 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 5: General said. 62 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: The Inspector General. 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 5: Said that in the three point four million of these queries, 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 5: more than a million were in error. Do you have 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 5: any basis to disagree with that assessment by the Inspector General. 66 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. 67 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 7: Actually, that's a correct characterization of the Inspector General's Oh well. 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 5: The internet will remind you of that in moments. But 69 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 5: let's now go to what the court said. The court 70 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 5: said it was over two hundred thousand that have occurred 71 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: on your watch. Would do you have any basis to 72 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 5: disagree with that assessment? 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 6: Again, I don't have the number as I sit here 74 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 6: right now. 75 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 4: What I can seems like a number. 76 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 5: You should know how many times the FBI's breaking the 77 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 5: law under your watch, especially if it's like over a million. 78 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: To not know that number, and I'm worried about your 79 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 5: veracity on the subject as well. 80 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: Did you not know when you're answering these questions. 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 5: That the FBI was engaging in these illegal searches or 82 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 5: did you perjure yourself to Senator Lee? 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 6: I certainly didn't perjure myself. 84 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 7: At the time that I testified in front of the 85 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 7: Senate Judiciary Committee, I didn't have that piece of information. 86 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: I will add that was a court order. 87 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: You didn't have that piece of information because the court 88 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 5: hadn't yet rendered a judgment. Did you not know when 89 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 5: you gave the untruthful answer before Senator Lee that this 90 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: was going on? 91 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 7: It was a truthful answer. I did not believe Fiza 92 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 7: had been involved in the genuar sty. 93 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 4: So it was so you didn't. 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 5: The answer is the FBI has broken so bad that 95 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 5: people can go and engage in queries that when you 96 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: come before the Congress to answer questions. 97 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: You're like blissfully ignorant. 98 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 5: You're blissfully ignorant as to the unlawful queries. You're blissfully 99 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 5: ignorant as to the Biden shakedown regime. And it just 100 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: seems like it gets into a kind of a creepy 101 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 5: place as well. Just as the American people realize the 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 5: court has smacked you down alleging ruling, FBI personnel apparently 103 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: conducted queries for improper personal reasons. People were looking themselves up. 104 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 5: They were looking there ex lovers up. Who has been 105 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 5: held accountable or fired as a consequence of the FBI 106 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 5: using the FISA process, as they're like. 107 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: Creepy personal snoop machine. 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 7: There have been instances in which individuals have had disciplinary 109 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 7: action and they. 110 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 6: Are no longer with it. I can't get into it here, 111 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 6: but we can follow back up. 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 4: Don't you see that? 113 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 5: That's kind of the thing, Director A that you preside 114 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 5: over the FBI that has the lowest level of trust. 115 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 4: In the FBI's history. 116 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 5: People trust in the FBI more when Jayek or Hoover 117 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 5: was running the place than when you are. And the 118 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: reason is because you don't give straight answers. You give 119 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 5: answers that later a court deems aren't true. And then 120 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: at the end of the day, you won't criticize an 121 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 5: obvious shakedown when it's directly in front of us, and 122 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 5: it appears as though you're whitewashing the conduct of corrupt people. 123 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: Perspective, All right, joining us now the Congress from the 124 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: great state of Florida, Congressman Matt Gates as with us, 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: I honestly, and I'm not saying this because I've known 126 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: you so long and we're friends, but I think this 127 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: might have been your finest day. 128 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 8: Well thanks for saying so. But there's a lot of 129 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 8: work ahead. We laid bare the corruption, the political capture 130 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 8: at the FBI, and the real harm to everyday Americans 131 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 8: who are subject to higher crime rates because the FBI 132 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 8: has decided to become the enforcement wing of the Democratic 133 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 8: Party rather than the vaulted law enforcement institution that it 134 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 8: was supposed to be, and Director Ray has had many 135 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 8: years to clean this up. I know when he was 136 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 8: first appointed, like anyone who's initially appointed, you and I wanted. 137 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: To Yeah, by recommended by Chris Christie, Right, Ray, I 138 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: don't know that. 139 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 8: We're exactly going to be flipping through Chris Christie's rolodex 140 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 8: for the next trunk term. I think he brought us 141 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 8: Christopher Ray and Rod Rosenstein. Actually, but Ray couldn't answer 142 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 8: the operative question about accountability, Sean. With more than a 143 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 8: million illegal searches that the FBI did on creepy stuff 144 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 8: like their ex girlfriends and people that they knew, there's 145 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 8: no one who's been held accountable. There's no one who's 146 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 8: been fired. There's no one who's been who's seen a 147 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 8: demotion or reduction in pay. 148 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: And what and what would happen to you? What would 149 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: happen to me if we went before any judge, any 150 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: court and lied to the judge? Did James Comy himself 151 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: signed three of the four or FIZA applications in the 152 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Russia hoax? 153 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 8: At a minimum, there would be contempt and disbarmented. 154 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: And how about arrest if you if you lie to 155 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: a judge? Are you kidding me? 156 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 8: Oh? Yeah, well, contempt carries with it arrest powers, so 157 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 8: that's certainly within the basket of possibilities. But the story, 158 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 8: the official narrative from the FBI is that this is 159 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 8: really old and six we don't have to be worried 160 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 8: about these things because they've been resolved. The reality is 161 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 8: they were conducting thirty eight illegal queries an hour during 162 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 8: the period of time they were investigated by the Inspector 163 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 8: General and really brings a lot of their marketing questions. 164 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: All right, so let me ask you, we don't Republicans 165 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: don't have the power to do what really needs to 166 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: be done here. The only real power that I see 167 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: that you have, or Republicans have, is the power of 168 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: the purse. And I'm not sure exactly how that would 169 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: work because like, for example, I don't think the FAISA 170 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: law is going to be renewed at the end of 171 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: the year. I certainly hope that Republicans don't sign on 172 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: to that, and I know people on the hard left 173 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: that they're balking it reauthorization as well. But when it 174 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: comes to the FBI and then getting out of their 175 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: lane or as was the case in twenty sixteen with 176 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: the BISA warrance, and letting Hillary Clinton off the hook 177 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 2: even after the Lee thirty three thousand subpoena emails, and 178 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: of course having top secret classified information that we know 179 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: foreign entities we're able to hack into, but no reasonable 180 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: prosecutor would prosecute. But mar A Lago gets rated, you know. 181 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: So it seems to me that the only power you 182 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: have is the power of the purse. But we certainly 183 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: need an FBI, We certainly need the ability to gather 184 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: intel on foreign actors, bad foreign actors. Does the Republican 185 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: Party use the power of the purse and specify exactly 186 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: what money can be spent on, what activities they're involved in, 187 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: what investigations they're involved in, how they investigate the powers that, 188 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: you know, limiting the power to keep doing what they've 189 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: been doing, and putting cinderblocks on the scales of presidential elections. 190 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 8: There are two big sites coming up that will help 191 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 8: us actualize the reforms that are needed. First is the 192 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 8: reauthorization of this spying authority. And I'm not so sure, Sean, 193 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 8: that there isn't a coalition to support reauthorization. I'm not 194 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 8: a part of it. I'm leading an effort to block 195 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 8: that reauthorization. 196 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: Well, I'm supporting you keep going. 197 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 8: But now are you know my colleague, my Turner of 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 8: Ohio has said that we need to fully reauthorize seven 199 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 8: of two. So he's a Republican, So there there is 200 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 8: a battle there too. One then second, like you said, 201 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 8: what we are willing to fund, we should claw back 202 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 8: every dollar of the three hundred and twenty five million 203 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 8: dollars new FBI facility that they want, larger than the 204 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 8: Pentagon in the Washington, DC area. Keep in mind they've 205 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 8: got about two percent of the workforce. 206 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: I clawed back every penny, and they don't deserve a 207 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: new building, and they don't deserve another seventh floor. That 208 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: floor should be vacated. 209 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 8: Yeah, it should be left with the rats, Carol and 210 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 8: Iron the Hoover building. But the the other fight, I 211 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 8: think is the rule that allows us to zero the 212 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 8: salaries of the specific people who have violated the rights 213 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 8: of our fellow Americans. We should deer on Christopher Ray's salary. 214 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 8: He hasn't done the job, and the senior leadership there 215 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 8: has really been pushing the politics. And you and I 216 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 8: always make a note in these discussions that there are 217 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 8: a lot of fat great FBI agents all of this 218 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 8: country who do work to keep us safe. Oftentimes their 219 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 8: work is impaired by the senior leadership. And so we've 220 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 8: got to really flip that agency upside down and ensure 221 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 8: that the. 222 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 9: True service mission is being met and that it's done 223 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 9: about a Washington, DC oriented political mission, but in the budget, 224 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 9: in the appropriations process, and in the surveillance authority renewals. 225 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 8: We have two opportunities to do that in the coming weeks, 226 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 8: and that's why we need folks to contact their representatives 227 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 8: and encourage them to join me in its fight. 228 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: All right, quick break right back more with Congressman Matt 229 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: Gates of Florida eight hundred and nine four one, Seawan 230 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: as our number. Also breaking news. John Solomon will check 231 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: in with him and Seamus Brunner at the bottom of 232 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 2: the half hour as we continue. Continued now with Clarida 233 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: Carnersman Matt Gaates was amazing in the Judiciary Committee hearings 234 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: today with Director Ray. I will tell you that everybody 235 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: I've been talking to is frustrated today, and that is 236 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 2: Christopher Ray. He dodged, he ducked, he weaved, he obfuscated, 237 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: he did not want to answer questions he hid behind 238 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: the well. It's an ongoing investigation line repeatedly throughout the day, 239 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: which is standard operating procedure for people like him. Then 240 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: I'm assumed maybe he's going on vacation again like the 241 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: last time, and I just assume that this is going 242 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: to continue. Where's the impetus short of that to make 243 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: that happen? 244 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 8: If they continue to block our access to evidence, particularly 245 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 8: regarding the Biden Prime family, then wills Old Ray in 246 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 8: contempt and you come have to pause, Marshall, I guess 247 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 8: go and attain that which we demand, the presentution of, 248 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 8: whether it's mister Ray himself or document. I purely believe 249 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 8: that the activities of the FBI have risen to such 250 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 8: a level that perhaps the normal tools we've used in 251 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 8: the past are insufficient. I mean, Sean, we tell these 252 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 8: guys that to go buy on people, and they just 253 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 8: do it anyway. So laws don't have their own diat 254 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 8: There has to be an oversight function. The courts have 255 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 8: failed to hold these people to account, and so now 256 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 8: we must do that with the power of contempt, the 257 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 8: power of the purse, the power of the sub penis, 258 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 8: and if necessarily, the powers and teaching. 259 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: What about Merrek Garland. Will you committee ever get him 260 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: because the FBI and the DOJ. I mean this, really 261 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: your committee is looking into whether the FBI is politicized 262 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: and weaponized and the DOJ is politicized and weaponized. I 263 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: don't think we have equal justice, equal application of our 264 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: laws currently in America. Am I wrong? 265 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 8: There is a tutor of justice system in this country 266 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 8: and we laid that there today. Merrick Garland will be 267 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 8: appearing before the Judicial Committee in the coming weeks, and 268 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 8: we're going to have very serious questions about everything from 269 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 8: the border to these Special Council investigations in the pursuit 270 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 8: of Donald Trump. It's just so un American to say 271 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 8: we found the guy, now going to find the time 272 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 8: and that is to be what Jack Smith is doing 273 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 8: on a variety at front. And we also, I think 274 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 8: have a lot of questions for Merrick Garland regarding the 275 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 8: DOJ's prosecutorial discretion and how it was used or not 276 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 8: used in the Hunter Biden matter. Jesus, though Hunter Biden 277 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 8: got a tweetheart deal, whereas like they were off trying 278 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 8: to throw out George Cappadopolis in jail as a consequence 279 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 8: of a ruse of a hunting well. 280 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: We appreciate you being one of us. Matt gets eight 281 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: hundred and nine point one Shawn or number if you 282 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: want to be a part of the program.

One 308 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: of the things one of the lies told by Christopher 309 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: Ray today who was grilled by Congressman Mike Johnson Louisiana 310 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: over the definition of disinformation and his answer was, well, 311 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: the FBI doesn't moderate content. Okay, then why we're FBI 312 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: agents meeting in the weeks leading up to the twenty 313 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: twenty presidential election warning big tech companies that in fact 314 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: they may be targeted for misinformation campaigns And we know 315 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: from the Missouri case and yol Roth, who was the 316 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: site integrity head at Twitter at the time, that the 317 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 2: specific warnings were, well, it might be about Joe Biden 318 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: or Hunter Biden. Now they knew that they the Biden 319 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 2: laptop was real. They had corroborated that in the spring 320 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty. So they're telling these companies, oh, you 321 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 2: may be a victim of misinformation, and it may be 322 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: about Hunter Biden. Okay, they had the laptop since twenty nineteen. 323 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: We even believed they had authenticated it before they even 324 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: took possession of it in November of twenty nineteen. But 325 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: that's neither here nor there. In the spring, in March 326 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, John Solomon broke this story, they absolutely 327 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: authenticated it. They said, this is authentic, this is Hunter 328 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: Biden's laptop. Then why were they warning these tech companies 329 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: that eventually then censored that critical important story in the 330 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 2: lead up to the twenty twenty presidential election with these 331 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: weekly meetings with big tech companies. Anyway, christ Paray, grilled 332 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: by Congressman Johnson, FBI doesn't moderate moderate content. 333 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 6: He's lying, can you define what disinformation is? 334 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 7: What I can tell you is that our focus is 335 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 7: not on disinformation broadly speaking. 336 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 6: Wait a minute, your answer to the question. You can 337 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 6: in a minute. 338 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 10: Your star witness said in the litigation, Elvis Chan, who's 339 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 10: in charge of this, said they do it on the 340 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 10: basis of disinformation. 341 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 6: We need we need a definition of what that is. 342 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 7: Our focus is a malign foreign disinformation, that is, foreign 343 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 7: hostile actors who engage in covert efforts. Mister rizzk our 344 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 7: social media platforms, which is something that is not seriously 345 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 7: in dispute. 346 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 6: We'll have to stop you for time. That's not accurate. 347 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 10: You need to read this court opinion because you're in 348 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 10: charge of enforcing it. The court has found that in 349 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 10: Elvis Chan testified under oath in charge of this for you, 350 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 10: he said fifty percent, he had a fifty percent success 351 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 10: rate and having alleged election disinformed taken down or censored. 352 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 10: That wasn't just foreign adversary, sir, that was American citizens. 353 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 4: How do you answer for that? 354 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 7: Well, first off, I'm not sure that's a correct characterization 355 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 7: right out of the opinion. 356 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 6: You should rule of his testimony. 357 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 7: But what I would say is the FBI is not 358 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 7: in the business of moderating content or causing any social 359 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 7: media company to suppress or censor. 360 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 6: That is not what the court has found. 361 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: And in that case, he was referring to the July 362 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: fourth ruling that came out of the Missouri case. I 363 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: don't think that judge released that ruling on the fourth 364 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: of July by accident. Either. I think he was sending 365 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 2: a message that the government has no business, meaning the 366 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 2: FBI is no business at all whatsoever in moderating content 367 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: and censoring pertinent information that the American people need and 368 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: lead up to an election. That's why we need Ram 369 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: Paul's Freedom of Speech Act passed so that they will stop. 370 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: This court ruling is having a huge im pact because 371 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: now the Biden administration has had to stop their planned 372 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: meetings that have been ongoing with big tech companies. Anyway, 373 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 2: joining us now, John Solomon, editor in chief, investigative reporter 374 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: justinnews dot com. He broke news today. We'll tell you 375 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 2: about in a second about Hunter Biden and why the 376 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: Delaware prosecutor did not bring charges that his own office approved. 377 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: Seamus Brunner joins us, author of the upcoming book Compromise 378 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 2: to How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption, and also 379 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: the director of research at the Government Accountability Institute. Anyway, 380 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: thank you both for being here. Seamus, let's first respond 381 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: to what Christopher Ray said there, because that's just an 382 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: outright lie. 383 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean, that's absolutely right from what I've seen in 384 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: this hearing, it appears to just be more of the 385 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: same from Ray, more misdirection. But you know, we've got major, 386 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: major unanswered questions, and like, well you brought it up. 387 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 8: What has the FBI have. 388 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: Been doing for all these years that relates to the 389 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: Biden's corupt dealings. They've known for years about the CEFC money, 390 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: they had the laptop, and instead of investigating it, it 391 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: looks like they've been covering it up. 392 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: You know, John Solomon, you are a big, big part 393 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: of this ensemble cast we built, and Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, 394 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 2: there's way so many people. I can't even begin Catherine 395 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 2: Herridge at the time when she was with Fox, there 396 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: was a bunch of us. And unlike the media mob 397 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: that told lie after lie after lie, spread conspiracy theory 398 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 2: after conspiracy theory, perpetrating a nearly three year hoax on 399 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: the American people about Trump Russia collusion that never happened, 400 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: leading to lying on phi's applications. So when they couldn't 401 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 2: corroborate it. You know, now we have the FBI in 402 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: this case now in twenty twenty, putting their cinder blocks 403 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: on the scales of another presidential election. But we're able 404 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of all this. And now 405 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: we've got this ten twenty three form that the FBI 406 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: didn't want to turn over but had to or else 407 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: Ray would have faced contempt charges. And you were able 408 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: to find out in the case of the Hunter Biden 409 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: why the Delaware prosecutor did not bring charges that his 410 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: own office approved. Now, can you explain that to me? 411 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: And on top of why, we have six whistleblowers that 412 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: will go on the record, two of which have already 413 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: gone on the record, one of which you interviewed, and 414 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: say that, in fact, this guy, the prosecutor Weiss, in 415 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: fact told everybody he did not have the authority to 416 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: go into other jurisdictions when it came to Hunter Biden. 417 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, your story points out today that the charges 418 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: in his office were already approved, and why didn't he 419 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: bring those charges? 420 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, US Attorney Wis has staked out a very 421 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 3: precarious position. It has a lot of people confused, not 422 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 3: only the agency who used to work from in this case, 423 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: some people in the Justice Department, confused by many members 424 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: of Congress. Here's why what he is saying is I 425 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: was geographically limited from bringing the charges but then I 426 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 3: was told I could have the authority to bring the charges, 427 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 3: so I could bring anything I wanted. I wasn't blocked 428 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: in any way. That's fine. That's whe his current testimony stands. 429 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 3: In terms of his letters to Congress. The problem is 430 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: his own records, the records from the case, the case 431 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: agents file where they they put them together at memo 432 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 3: saying this. 433 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 4: Is what we all agreed to do. 434 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 3: It shows that in early twenty twenty two January February 435 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, the IRS agents shared the idea of 436 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,239 Speaker 3: what the case should be, what the prosecution be. In 437 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 3: both a tax division lawyer, someone in Washington in the 438 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: tax Expertise office of the Justice Department Prosecution Team, and 439 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: the top deputy to David Weiss, both signed off on 440 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 3: a broad indictment, indictment that would charge Hunter Biden with 441 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 3: tax evasion, felony, tax evasion going back to twenty twenty 442 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: fourteen and including the money he got from Barisma. Remember 443 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 3: we were told there was no there there in barysmall 444 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: long time aco. We now know there was a big 445 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: there that was approved and put on the track and 446 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: then it was stopped. And David Weiss has not explained 447 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 3: to anyone's satisfaction, why if he had the authority to 448 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: bring the charges, he didn't bring the case that his 449 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 3: own office approved. And I think that's why you see 450 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 3: today Kevin McCarthy, I'm Fox who's writing a very poignant 451 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: op ed saying I smell a cover up the way 452 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: David Weiss is answering this is contradictory. He had the 453 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 3: authority and he didn't bring the case in his own 454 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: people said he should bring. He can't answer why. 455 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 8: So. 456 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: This is an IRS document from early twenty two that 457 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: Delaware US Attorney David Weiss's office signed off on to 458 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: bring felony tax evasion charges against tunnter Biden. This stretch 459 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: back to twenty fourteen. Now, a lot of the Statute 460 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 2: of the limitations on these years have passed John since 461 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: this point. These whistleblowers are saying that they believe that 462 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 2: this was slow walked on purpose for that reason. 463 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: What's your thoughts, Listen, we know there were tolling agreements, 464 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: tolling their agreements or an agreement between the defense team 465 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: and the prosecutors to keep extending the Statute of limitations 466 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 3: so they could talk and negotiate and try to come 467 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 3: up to the best possible deal for all sides somewhere 468 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: in that October November time frame. According to the testimony 469 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: of multiple rs rages, now at least two of them, 470 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 3: the totlling agreements, which had been assigned many times extended 471 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: for it, suddenly were allowed to disappear right after David 472 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 3: Wis told his team, I couldn't get the US attorneys 473 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: in Washington in Los Angeles, Biden appointees, by the way, 474 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 3: I couldn't get them to bring the charges. 475 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 8: Why. 476 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 3: It's almost unheard of that a totaling agreement would be 477 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: allowed to expire when there was a recommended active case 478 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 3: and suggested charges to go forward. These are the questions 479 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: that Congress is going to have to pin whye down. 480 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 3: There's gonna be the rope a dope the Justice departments 481 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 3: to slow this down, hide behind different the cases. I'm 482 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: going together things. We're too busy. We have to get 483 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: these answers. Because I think Kevin McCarthy's saying it right 484 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: right now, this smells I could big cover up, you. 485 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: Know, Seamus. I was watching the hearings today and talking 486 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: to people that I know about this. Everybody had the 487 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: same feeling I had, and that was frustration. You know, 488 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: we can't I'm not allowed to comment on an ongoing 489 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: investigation or just outright lies like the one we just played, 490 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: that the FBI doesn't moderate content. But we now have 491 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 2: had two presidential elections in a row where the FBI 492 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: was up to their eyeballs again, I'll reiterate. In early 493 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: October of twenty sixteen, the FBI sent agents to meet 494 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 2: with Christopher Steele, offered him a million plus dollars if 495 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: he could corroborate any part of his own dossier. He 496 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 2: could not, and by the end of October came the 497 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: bulk of information of what became not one PHISA application, 498 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: but four PHISA application, three of which was signed by 499 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: the FBI director. But the FBI director knew damn well 500 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: that that was not corroborated, and the top of a 501 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: PHISA warrence is verified. You know, then in twenty twenty, 502 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: the case of oh, we're going to prebunk the Hunter 503 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 2: Biden laptop story that John Solomon corroborated and reported on 504 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: first that they had already verified and authenticated in the 505 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: spring of twenty twenty. So you know, I'm trying to 506 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: figure out here and your book goes to the part 507 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: of the heart of this how money and politics drive 508 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 2: FBI corruption. I don't know how to fix what was 509 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 2: once the world's premiere law enforcement agency anymore. 510 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean, You're exactly right. There's a lot of frustration. 511 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean a recent RAS Muster Reports poll found that 512 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: eighty percent of GOP voters think that the FBI is 513 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: politically weaponized. Eighty percent of GP voters. Four out of 514 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: five GOOP voters expect cheating in twenty twenty four, and 515 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: they expect the FBI will be behind it. That is 516 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: a huge problem. Nothing that Christopher Ray said today assuages 517 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: any of those concerns. And you know, like you said, 518 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: the past two elections have had cinner blocks on the 519 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: scales of justice. How can we trust that twenty twenty 520 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: four is going to be fair? And I think Christopher 521 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: Ray has a lot of work to do if he 522 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: wants to regain that credibility that it once had. 523 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's get your take, John Solomon. I know that 524 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: you know, the one weapon or one point of leverage 525 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 2: that House Republicans have is the power of the purse. 526 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: And I guess they would have to go line by 527 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: line and specifically identify what the role of the FBI 528 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: can and cannot be. Not that I trust that they 529 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: would would abide by it. 530 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 3: Well, listen, I think there's a broader question that comes 531 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 3: out of today's hearing, which is you have an FBI 532 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 3: director that just testified to something that we know not 533 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: to be true. It's very important for those I spent 534 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: a lot of time in the Elvischan testimony. He specifically 535 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: talks about a censorship operation, and here is the most 536 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: important thing. He said, when censorship requests came in, they 537 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: would go to the FBI headquarters. They would go to 538 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 3: where Chris Ray works, FBI headquarters in Washington, and they 539 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: would give their stamp of approval before Elvis Chan himself 540 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: would then go to the social media companies and to 541 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: please take this post down and violates your toast. 542 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 4: And then Chan is. 543 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 3: Very specific about how often they were able to do it. 544 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: He said, I would not say it was one hundred 545 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 3: percent success rate. If I had a characterize, I would 546 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 3: say like fifty percent sex rate success rate. Fifty percent 547 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 3: of the time when the FBI asked social media to 548 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 3: take a post down, they did it. According to Chris 549 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 3: Ray's own testimony. Beyond deciding budgets and other things, there's 550 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: a real question about Chris Ray's honesty to the Congress today. 551 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 3: They did censor, they did mitigate opinions. What he's today 552 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: is directly contradicted his own evidence. 553 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I can't thank you both enough for what you're saying, 554 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 2: and keep up the good work. John Solomon and Seamus Bruner, 555 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 2: thank you so much for being with us.
