1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: An hour two Sean Hannity's show to Free It's eight 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one, Sean, you want to be 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: a part of the program. We've talked a lot about 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: the January sixth commission and when they threw Jim Banks off, 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: Who's gonna check in with us a little later in 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: the program today, and they threw off Jim Jordan and 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: they replaced them with Code Chair Liz Cheney and Adam Kinziger. 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: It's already a preordained commission. It's a foregone conclusion. There's 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: not going to be any honest questioning. For example, the 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: most significant question to me, and I was clear and 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: outspoken from day one, you can't have people rioting inside 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: the Capitol. We have laws, you've you've got to obey 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: the laws of the land. And we're consistent. I guess 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: we're the only ones to believe that you can't pick 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: and choose which laws you can and cannot obey. Joe 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't enforce the laws of the border, right, Okay, 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: there's one standard of justice as it relates to people 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: on taxes. And for example, if you lie to Congress, 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: you know you'll get a pre dawn raid with frogmen, 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: tactical gear, guns drawn, CNN, fake news cameras, and meanwhile, 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: the exact same thing is charged by the Inspector General. 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: But as long as you're part of the deep state 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: and one of the high ranking members of the FBI, 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: nothing happens. And then it's sad because it's all true. 25 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: Some of the questions, the ones I am most interested in, 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: is they knew all of these people, hundreds and hundreds 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: of thousands of people were in town, and yet they 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: made no plans whatsoever for if something should go wrong. 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: And I don't care who's in Washington. If you have 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people, it's a high security risk 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: for everybody, and you've got to prepare for a worst 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: case scenario. Now, we do know that the Capitol police 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: chief requested on six separate occasions they call up the 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: National Guard, both before and enduring what happened that day 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: in the capital on January the sixth. Now, the question 36 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: is where is the commission for the five hundred and 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: thirty four or so riots that took place in the 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty, the riots where thousands of police 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: officers were injured, They were pelted with bricks and rocks 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: and bottles and Molotov cocktails. And then we had dozens 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: of Americans killed like Horace Lorenzo Anderson Junior. We've had 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: his father on this program and no commission, no responsibility, 43 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: no investigation whatsoever. And then we have again a dual 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: justice system. You have states like New York saying no, 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: we're not going to prosecute even people that they have 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: on tape involved in looting, in arson and hurling bricks 47 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: and bottles at police officers. So a dual justice system. 48 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: Now it's gotten even more interesting. And thanks to John Solomon, 49 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: who is the chief of Just the News dot com, 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: he's got a breaking story regarding Benny Thompson. Now he's 51 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: the congressman overseeing this commission as it relates to January sixth, 52 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: he's the chair of the commission, and he's been a 53 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: vocal critic of an event that he deems quote an insurrection, 54 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: while according to John Solomon's new reporting today, he himself 55 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: offered sympathy to police officers injured that day, etc. Etc. 56 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: But as a young alderman in a small Mississippi community 57 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: many years ago, Thompson placed himself on the opposite side. 58 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: He was openly sympathizing with a secessionist group known as 59 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the Republic of New Africa and participated in a news 60 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: conference blaming law enforcement for instigating clashes with the group 61 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: that led to the killings of the police officer and 62 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: wounding an FBI agent. Anyway, Thompson's official biography makes no 63 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: reference of the separate to RNA and anyway, this is 64 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Penny Thompson's sympathizing with the Republic of the New Africa 65 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: secessionist group. I treated family and given every opportunity afforded 66 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: them by law. This was not done in the case 67 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: of the Republic of New Africa. They are charged with 68 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: obstructing justice. This I believe is an attempt on part 69 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: of law enforcement officials to stop the Republic from building 70 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: its community. My position is that people are in town 71 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: to live as they choose, so long as their law 72 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: abiding and peaceful. All right, joining us now here is 73 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: the editor in chief justinews dot com. He broke the story, 74 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: John Solomon. Investigative reporters back with us, sir, how are you? 75 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Sean so yeah great. We got the 76 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: chairman of this January sixth Capital Riot and then you've 77 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: been out spoken about it, but was outspoken on day one. 78 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: We have to protect our elected officials, whether you like 79 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: their politics or not. That's this is fundamental to law 80 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: and order and safety and security in our society. It's 81 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: based on our constitution. We have to protect our institutions. 82 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: That would be the capital. But yet the head of 83 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: the commission himself, uh you know, was a was a 84 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: guy that was involved in insurrection talk himself. That's is 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: this a joke or this is real? This is very real. 86 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: You know. I learned about this because an FBI agent 87 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: retired long retired, called me up one day and said, listen, 88 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: this guy, Debby Thompson has been named the commissioner or 89 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: the chairman of this commission. I'm not sure, but I 90 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: think he's the saying guy that was in Mississippi as 91 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: a young alder man, and back then he wasn't talking 92 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: He loved cops, and he wasn't talking against the insurrection. 93 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: He was supporting an insurrectionist group and blaming cops are 94 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: getting killed by pursuing this group's of legal activities. And 95 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: so I started on a journey, went to the Freedom 96 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: of Information Act, and the FBI went to the Mississippi 97 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Department of Archives in history, and I gathered all this 98 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: information as sure as it is the same Benny Thompson. 99 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: So fifty years ago, Benny Thompson was on the different 100 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: side of an insurrection. He was supporting a group that 101 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: wanted to take land by force if necessary, in the 102 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: southeastern part of the United States to create a new 103 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: Republic of Africa. The Republic of New Africa was called. 104 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: This group was on the FBI's top watch list. They 105 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: had informants selling in The group was planning for guerrilla warfare. 106 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: It engaged in several conflicts with police officers. At least 107 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: three police officers I'd been able to document were killed 108 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: by members of this group. A couple others were wounded, 109 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: one FBI agent wounded. And despite all that violence, despite 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: its ill intent and it's radical agenda, Benny Thompson, as 111 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: a young all and been defended. This group actually called 112 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: on police to stop investigating and instigating classes. And then 113 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: when an officer was killed in Mississippi Jackson, Mississippi, in 114 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: August nineteen seventy one, an event that created national headlines 115 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: with the RNA, Benny Thompson joined the press conference where 116 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: the press conference, this focus was to blame police having 117 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: gotten themselves killed by pursuing this group, a group that, 118 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: by the way, they had a lawful warrant to go ring. 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: So that is the Benny Thompson of fifty years ago, 120 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: very different from the man that's putting on the show today. 121 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: So he actually sympathized with this black successionist group that 122 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: killed cops and defended them. Yes, yes, and multiple occasions, 123 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: and as recently as twenty thirteen in local Mississippi politics, 124 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: he campaigned on behalf of one of the r anda's 125 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: former members, it's former vice president, a guy who got 126 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: elected as Jackson mayor. He was campaigning running ads for him, 127 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: even presided over his installation ceremony and said that this 128 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 1: man was someone who has been an inspiration and friend 129 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: for many, many years, going back to the nineteen seventies. 130 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: So he never disassociated with a group that had violence 131 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: in its path, was wanted by the FBI, and he 132 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: had a very different tone about police. And I think 133 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: that this is a good reminder that the Democrats of 134 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: today were the radical leftists of the sixties and ruling 135 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: class in their seventies and eighties. People like Benny Thompson, 136 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Bobby Rush. They were radical leftists back then today to 137 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: the establishment of the Democratic Party, and they pick and 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: choose when they support cops. They weren't supporting cops last 139 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: summer during the riots. They are supporting cops when it 140 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: comes to the January sixteenths direction. Benny Thompson certainly wasn't 141 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: supporting law enforcement back in nineteen seventy one when an 142 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: officer was shot dead by this radical group. So we 143 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: had a post presidency impeachment, which in and of itself 144 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe it's constitutional, but we had the post 145 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: on this very issue of January sixth Okay, now they 146 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: want to have another commission. Once they threw off Jim 147 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: Jordan and Jim Banks. Jim Banks will be joining us 148 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: later in the program Jim Jordan on TV tonight. Once 149 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: they threw them off the commission, it was pretty clear 150 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: to me that this was a four one conclusion and 151 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: this is just another opportunity, one last final attempt at 152 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: at attacking Donald Trump and distracting the public from the 153 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: disaster that is Joe Biden's presidency. Now, I actually wouldn't 154 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: have minded a fair commission. Why didn't they call up 155 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: the National Guard? Why didn't? Why did they deny the 156 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: Capitol police chief the request, the multiple requests before enduring 157 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: this this riot on the Capitol. Why did they deny 158 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: his request for the National Guard to be called up? 159 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: And if we really care about rioting, I don't really 160 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: make a distinction between the summer of twenty twenty in 161 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: January sixth, they're equally wrong. They can happen. Dozens of 162 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Americans died over the summer and thousands of police officers 163 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: were injured. In the course of this. City blocks were 164 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: taken over, Looting took place in multiple cities. Kamala Harris, 165 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, was promoting a bail fund for the rioters, 166 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm looking at this unmitigated dis asked 167 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: the city blocks taken over, and nobody wants to have 168 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: a commission about that at all. I don't. The Democrats 169 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: pretty much denied all that summer that it was even 170 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: taken place, along with the media. Yeah, listen, what happened 171 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: last summer, what happened to Capital on January six were 172 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: both criminal events we should speak out against. And what 173 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: happened was wrong. But the way that Democrats have hijack 174 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: this investigation is just like they hijacked the investigation of 175 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Russia collusion, right, Hillary couldn't had a Russia problem. Instead, 176 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: they made up a false allegation and went after Don Trump, 177 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: and they put on a big show and made everybody 178 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: believe that illusion that there was Russia collusion. Here today, 179 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: we are in danger of having a commission to an investigation, which, 180 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: by the way, if it was done right, to really 181 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: bring a lot of knowledge and comfort and make sure 182 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: we never have an episode like that at the Capitol again. 183 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: But instead of doing it the right way, they're going 184 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: to try to hijack the narrative, and they're going to 185 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: use a guy who in his past life really didn't 186 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: have much affection for the police, really was more interested 187 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: in supporting an insurrectionist group than the police. All of 188 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, he's a sympathist with the police. I don't 189 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: think people will find credible outcomes from a commission that 190 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: otherwise could do important work. If this were a Republican 191 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: and this was a republican's past, I bet it would 192 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: be a big factor in the mind of the media 193 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party in terms of his ability to 194 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: objectively chair such a Commission, wouldn't you agree? One hundred 195 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: percent less? And the history has been shown that the 196 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: Democrats have used this issue against Republicans. I remember back 197 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands when John Ashcroft's Attorney General's 198 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: nomination with spending, the Democrats dug up some connection to 199 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: a group in Mississippi, Missouri, Missouri and try to use 200 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: it against them. They're dead silent today. They won't even 201 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: address it. Not even Benny Thompson himself will address his 202 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: past the comments in this situation. The Democrats pick and 203 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: choose their narratives. It's not often about the facts. It's 204 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: often about effect. And I think i'm January six, they're 205 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: trying to have an effect regardless of the facts, and 206 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: that's not good for the American people. It's not good 207 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: for the American people. So quick break more with the 208 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: editor in chief of Just the News dot com investigative 209 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: reporter John Solomon. We have Congressman Jim Banks on the 210 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: other side, eight hundred nine one saw on number. We'll 211 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: get to your calls next half hour. Right as we continue. 212 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: Editor in chief of Just the News dot com, John 213 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: Solomon is with us. So where do you see ultimately 214 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: this going This is a foregone conclusion. It's predetermined outcome, 215 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: and I guess the media is going to try and 216 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: make a big deal about it and just dismissed the 217 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: rioting that took place in twenty twenty. So what is 218 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: the goal here just to smear, slander, blame Donald Trump again. 219 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: I mean that there are words that Donald Trump uttered 220 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: that day that are very clear. Many of you will 221 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: now peacefully and patriotically march to the Capitol so your 222 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: voices may be heard. I didn't hear in that or 223 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: at any point during the rally donald Trump say I 224 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: want you to go and raid the Capitol and create 225 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: a riot in the Capitol. I didn't hear that. No, 226 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: you didn't. And listen, there's and every episode in American 227 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: history like this. The first thing you want to get 228 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: answered what did people know and when did they know it? Right? 229 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: That's how we unraveled the Russia collusion case, working with 230 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: you and Sarah and other people, even though the Democrats 231 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: aren't going to do it, Even though Republicans aren't fully 232 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: on the committee, they didn't get the people they wanted. 233 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: We have tools FOIA in letters and requests that we 234 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: should try to get the real truths. What did Nancy 235 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 1: Pelosi really do? Is she trying to cover up for 236 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: her knowledge or lack of a security plan for this day? 237 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: There are important public issues that will last the test 238 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: of time, and it's folks like you and I that 239 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: have the ability to go get that information. We've got 240 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: to do that. And then it's I think incumbent upon 241 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: Republicans to apply the same standards to bennytom And it's 242 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: been replied to I'll do Republican nominees and chairman in 243 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: the past. Remember Devin Dounia has got bounced from the 244 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: House Intelligence canit chair? It turns out on bogus allegations. 245 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: The Republicans should ask for a full accounting of what 246 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: Benny Thompson did in his past and whether he renounces 247 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: that group today and whether he really supports police. One 248 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: of the things I'll be doing today, I'm going to 249 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: be interviewing the son of the officer killed that day 250 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: on August nineteen seventy one, the Skinner family.

We're gonna 264 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: talk to him a minute. Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana. 265 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: He chairs the Conservative Republican Study Committee, is on the 266 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: House Armed Services Committee. Currently serves in the US Navy 267 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Reserve as a Supply Corps officer. By the way, he 268 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: took a leave in twenty fourteen and fifteen from the 269 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Indiana State Senate to deploy two Afghanistan during operations Enduring 270 00:15:53,240 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: Freedom and more. He's outraged by the overstepping regarding mental rights. 271 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: He put out a tweet. He said, just when you 272 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: think things couldn't get any worse or scarier, coming from 273 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: the Biden, administration. They now threatening to use the Patriot 274 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: Act against parents who protest that their kids are getting 275 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: indoctrinated in schools. It's outrageous and it's infuriating. I'm having 276 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that 277 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: now we're getting lectures when we have failed public schools 278 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: all over the place. I brought up many times in 279 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: New York City, they spend well over forty thousand dollars 280 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: now per student with some of the worst results in 281 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: terms of reading in math. We as a country spend 282 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: more per capita than any industrialized country in the world, 283 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: with some of the worst results. In the Great City 284 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: of Baltimore, the second highest amount of spending per capita 285 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: per student on education, you have thirteen public high schools. 286 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: We're not a single child as proficient in math than reading. 287 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: You can't fail on a level if you even tried. 288 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you can fail this bad. And then 289 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: we got people like goobernatorial candidate in the Commonwealth of Virginia, 290 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Terry mccauloff. Well, I don't think parents should be telling 291 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: schools what they should teach. Listen, this shows how clueless 292 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: Glenn Yonkan has. He doesn't understand what the laws were 293 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: because he's never been involved here in helping Virginia. But 294 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: it was not the parents had to write to Vito bills, 295 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: Vito books Glenn not to be knowledge about it. Also 296 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: take them off the shows. And I'm not going to 297 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: let parents come into schools and actually take books out 298 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: and make their own decisions. So stop the bill that. 299 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't think parents should be telling schools what they 300 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: should teach. You know, I get really tired of everybody 301 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: running down teachers. I don't think parents should be telling 302 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: schools what they should be teaching. How about you stick 303 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: to the basics. Once you create proficiency at math and 304 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: science and reading and compute, then maybe we could have 305 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: a controvert what We'll have a discussion about what is 306 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: best to teach our kids in terms of everything else, 307 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: because you've failed on everything else. I mean, schools couldn't 308 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: be any more woke than what they are today. And 309 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: they had Senator Josh Holly telling the Deputy Attorney General 310 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: Lisa Monaco attempts to intimidate and silence parents and interfere 311 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: with their rights is just plain wrong. You know, these 312 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: are our kids, Terry, these are our children. You don't 313 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: you know it's our responsibility first and foremost, not not yours, 314 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: and certainly not teachers that have political agendas to indoctrinate 315 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: our children into, you know, little socialists that you that 316 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: you would love to be great little soldiers for you 317 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: in the future, advocating your flawed ideology and failed policies. Anyway, here, 318 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: Senator Josh Holly, all I can say is this is 319 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: truly extraordinary. I think you know it is. It's unprecedented. 320 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: You can't point to a single instance where any thing 321 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: like this has happened before. And I think parents across 322 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: this country are going to be stunned to learn. Stunned 323 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: that if they show up at a local school board meeting, 324 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: by the way, where they have the right to appear 325 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: and be heard, where they have the right to say 326 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: something about their children's education, where they have the right 327 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: to vote, and you are attempting to intimidate them, You 328 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: are attempting to silence them. You are attempting to interfere 329 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: with their rights as parents and yes, with their rights 330 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: as voters. This is wrong, This is dangerous, and I 331 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: cannot believe that an Attorney General of the United States 332 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: is engaging in this kind of conduct, and frankly, I 333 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: can't believe that you are sitting here today defending it. 334 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: I intend to get answers to these questions. You want 335 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: answer my questions. I'm going to get answered these questions. 336 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: Mister Chairman. We need to have a hearing on the subject. 337 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: We need to hear from the Attorney General himself. He 338 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: needs to come here, take the oath, sit there and 339 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: answer questions. We have never seen anything like this before 340 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: in our country's history, and frankly, I want to say 341 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: I think it is a dangerous, dangerous precedent. You want 342 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: to know why I support school choice because then parents 343 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: will pick and choose the schools that teach reading, writing, math, 344 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: computers and get the job done. The parents they all want. 345 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: Every parent wants the kids to get a good education. 346 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, if you fail, if we fail our kids 347 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: as we are on that one level, you're basically taking 348 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: the ladder to success, and you're ripping away every rung 349 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: of that ladder and they are shut out and we're 350 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: doing it. I mean, you want to talk about, you know, 351 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: institutionalized failure and institutionalized mediocrity at best. That's our public 352 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: educational system that as a full stranglehold on the Democratic Party, 353 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: an unholy alliance that they have where the teachers' unions 354 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: provide all of these funds so that these liberal democratic, 355 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: radical socialist politicians can get elected anyway. Congressman Jim Banks 356 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: Indiana is with us. He's saying now that they're using 357 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: or threatening to you, is the Patriot Act against parents 358 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: that protests their kids that get indoctrinated in schools. Well, 359 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: that takes it to another level. Explain what's going on here? Yeah, hey, Sean, 360 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: you think about this, that the schools are teaching critical 361 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: race theory and teaching our kids to hate America and 362 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: then they're going to call parents domestic terrorists for protesting 363 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: it at a school board. I get I see something 364 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: every day and with this Biden administration that it furiates me. 365 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: But this is insane. And Senator Josh Holly is exactly right. 366 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: It was great, It was great to hear that that clip. 367 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: But you got to go back take this back to 368 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: last week. Just a few days ago. The National school 369 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: Board Association wrote a letter to the Department of Justice 370 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: at the end of last week and they laid this out. 371 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: They called on the Department of Justice to use the 372 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: They listed the pay They actually listed the Patriot Act 373 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: in the letter. Then they listed a lot of other 374 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: federal laws, federal hate crime laws. They spelled it out. 375 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: They listed a number of federal statutes and laws that 376 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: they called on the Department of Justice to use against 377 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: parents who show up and protest at school board meetings. 378 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I mean especially mobs, some dads too, 379 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: but really, I mean moms every single day who are 380 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: outraged about what's going on in our schools, and they're 381 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: getting involved in politics for the first time ever shown. 382 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: I predict this is going to be a big motivator 383 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: in the mid term election next year. I don't After 384 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: hearing the clip from Terry mcculliffe and Virginia and seeing 385 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: the Biden administration threatened to use the Patriot Act against parents, 386 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how any American who has kids in 387 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: schools can ever justify voting for a Democrat. Again, I 388 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: don't get it either, So tell me how this gets stopped. 389 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: I think parents are worried. I mean, they're getting lectured 390 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: by governors that they shouldn't have a role in their 391 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: own kids education. I mean, the problem is this is 392 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: that most parents are already strapped. They're already working a 393 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: twelve fourteen hours a day. I don't know. I don't 394 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: know anybody that works an eight hour a day. Maybe 395 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: you do well, with all due respect, a lot of 396 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: your fellow members of Congress, they don't really work too much. 397 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: I would actually prefer you, guys, not work at all, 398 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: because it would save us a lot of money if 399 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: you didn't work and take a permanent vacation for a 400 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: couple of years, of going a session maybe before a 401 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: week once every three years or something. That'd be fine 402 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: with me. But more seriously, most people work twelve fourteen 403 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: hours a day, and they get up in the morning, 404 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: they help them with their kids, lunch, help get them 405 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: off to the school. And then by the time they 406 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: pay their taxes and their mortgage and their insurance and 407 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: their car and all the other expenses, put food on 408 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: the table. There's not a lot of extra money here 409 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: to put. You know, twenty twenty five forty fifty if 410 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: you're in New York City, sixty five seventy grand down 411 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: for a school that wants to indoctrinate your kids. Also, 412 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: but you'd get a better education. So now we have 413 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: parents their kids are caught in failing public schools. They 414 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: have no options available to them, and now there's a 415 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: stranglehold of monopoly that the government has on the education 416 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: of our kids. And now they're trying to push parents 417 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: that are speaking out out of the classroom and punish them. Yeah, 418 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: these are parents, You're exactly right. Shown These are parents 419 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: who work hard every single day. They don't think about 420 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: politics every day. They don't have time to. They're working 421 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: hard just to make ends meet. They send their kids 422 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: off to school, and now all of a sudden, they 423 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: see what's going on. They're showing up as school board 424 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: meetings because they know that the teachers Union is going 425 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: to continue to push this garbage in our schools. And 426 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: guess who's supposed to be accountable for our schools. It's 427 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: the school board members who we elect to provide the accountability. 428 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: And they're not used to people showing up as school 429 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: board meetings to provide that level of feedback and accountability. 430 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, you have you have 431 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: parents again, especially moms all over the place, who are 432 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: showing up the school board meetings, and the National school 433 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: Board Association is push them back. I mean, I wish 434 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: there was an easy answer to this. I mean, at 435 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: the end the day, when we get the majority back, 436 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: and Kevin McCarthy is a Speaker of the House, one 437 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: of the first things that we should do is hold 438 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: hearings and how these Democrats have abused their surveillance powers 439 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: to spy on parents using the Patriot Act. For are 440 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: showing not just showing up a school explained, how are 441 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: they spying on parents? What are they doing? Well, that's 442 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: what they're in this in the letter, and this is 443 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: this is incredible, and I would call everyone to go 444 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: and find this letter that the National school Board Association 445 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: sent to the Department of Justice. It called on them 446 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: to use the Patriot Act, which is what we use 447 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: to spy on foreign terrorists. That the school Board Association 448 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: listed out the Patriot Acts that the Department of Justice, 449 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: the Attorney General agreed in his response letter that he 450 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: sent back last night when he made it, when he 451 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: responded the school Board Association that they would use it 452 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: to spy on parents. I mean, this is, this is unprecedent. 453 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: It's never happened before to do that on American soil 454 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: to parents who are upset about what's going on. In 455 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: schools and showing up as school board meetings to use 456 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: a law that we use against terrorists. It's just it's 457 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It really is unlike anything I've ever heard. Congressman, 458 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: we appreciate your efforts. Keep us in the loop on this, 459 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: and if you get any developments, let us know. Okay, 460 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: you got it. Thank you eight hundred nine one. Sean, 461 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, 462 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: quick break right back, and as we continue, let's get 463 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: back to our phones. Marcus and Texas. Mark, you're on 464 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you called, sir, Hey, sir, 465 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: congratulations on twenty five years. Well, appreciate all you do. Man. 466 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: By the way, if you would have taken that bet 467 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago that I'd be the longest running 468 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: host in primetime cable news on Fox, let me tell 469 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: you something. It would have been a really dumb, bad bet. 470 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: That's all I can say. God's been pretty good to me. 471 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: Amen to that. What's going on, my friend? Well, hey, 472 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: I've heard you make a comment a couple of times 473 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: about the FBI and how it's the one percent at 474 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: the top and not the ninety nine and I want 475 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: to take a little bit of an issue with that one. 476 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: The top tends to set the tone, and I would 477 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: argue with what we're seeing with the Whitmers situation, what 478 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: we're finding out about the January sixth situation, and now 479 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: even threatening to sycamon moms and dads at school boards. 480 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: I think the FBI's corrupt, and I think I think 481 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: the whole culture is corrupt in the FBI, and I 482 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: think minimizing it to the one percent is not going 483 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: to shine the appropriate light on the situation that we 484 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: need to shine on it. I think it's far worse 485 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: than one percent. Let me give it the anecdotal evidence 486 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: that I have. Okay, I know people in the FBI. 487 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: I know many people in the FBI. I know many 488 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: people in the intelligence community. You know, various three letter organizations. 489 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: I've met them. I know people that risk their lives 490 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: to save our lives and protect our lives. Stories that 491 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: you'll never hear about, stories that I only reluctantly can 492 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: pull out of them if I've give them too much 493 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: to drink um. And I'm I'm being a little you know, 494 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm I'm obviously kidding around, and these guys definitely. The 495 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: rank and file put their lives on the line every day. 496 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: They don't have the power that you're describing to do 497 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: the things that are being done. Now, I'm going to 498 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,959 Speaker 1: add one thing and then you can answer. I can. 499 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: I can tell you they are they they've found what 500 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: what happened with Donald Trump repulsive. Everyone there wasn't in 501 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: a single exception. I'll give you the last minute we have. Yeah, 502 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think they're all bad by any means. 503 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of good men and 504 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: women there. But but um, you know, my response would be, 505 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: where are the whistleblowers? You know, everybody's staying quiet on this, 506 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of atrocities going on. Um, 507 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: And I I don't think they're all bad, but I 508 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: definitely think it's beyond the one percent. Why would you think, though, 509 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: that rank and file special agents would know what Homie 510 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: and McCabe and these other high ranking people on the 511 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: seventh floor we're doing. How would they possibly know unless 512 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: they were involved? I think there'd be in order to 513 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: do it. The people that were involved in the set 514 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: up at the of Governor Whitmer, those weren't the top 515 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: end people at that the information that's coming out about 516 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: the January sixth thing, that's not the people at the 517 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: top that are doing that. That's the rank and file. Yeah, 518 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about the infiltration of a crowd when they 519 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: think they might be trouble. That's that's kind of standard 520 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: operating procedure, isn't it. I'm talking about setting up American citizens. 521 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: And I think this whole new thing that's come down 522 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: from the Attorney General with going to use the Patriot 523 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: Act to spy on teachers, the rank and file is 524 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: going to carry that out, John, I don't know if 525 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: it would be there. Listen, you might be right. I don't. 526 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: For example, I'm a little shocked. I want to know 527 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: the reason why. Maybe there's a legitimate reason. I don't 528 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: know why the FBI is investigating groups that are are 529 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: trying to rescue Americans abroad. I don't know why the 530 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: State Department won't give chartered planes with Americans on them 531 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: the right to land in America, or why they won't 532 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: sign off of a third party nation, you know, is 533 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: willing to take people on. I don't get any of that, 534 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: but I gotta run. Listen, there are a lot of 535 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: good people I don't like broadsweeping generalizations. I know good people, 536 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: but I also know those that have abused power and 537 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: are corrupting. We've not been shy in calling him out 538 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: when we see him, and believe me, they're no fans 539 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: of mine.
