She's a friend of mine, a colleague from 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: Fox News, but she's got a front row seat to 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: the inner workings of one of America's most critical institutions, 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: the FBI. We're going to dive into some of these 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: seismic changes and shake ups that are happening at the 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: FBI under Director Cash Patel, from the reassignment of agents 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: that have been tied to the politically charged cases, to 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: this big restructuring of the agency's command, and also just 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: a renewed focus on things that the FBI should care about, 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: like terrorism, actual terrorism, and violent crime. We're also going 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: to get into recent news about this seven sixty four 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: network that's been targeting kids online. 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: What's that about. 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Also, what does she think about all of these reforms 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: that Patel is conducting. 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: Are they the right move? 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: And we'll also talk about those agents who are photographed 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: kneeling during the twenty twenty George Floyd protests, So buggle 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: up for a candid conversation as we unpack all of 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: this with Nicole Parker. 26 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: Stay tuned well, Nicole, it's great to have you on 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: the show. 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: Always love but when I get to see you and 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: being able to connect with you, so I really appreciate 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: you making the time. 31 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: It's my pleasure. I always lets to join you. 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: So, I know you've been very passionate about winning reforms 33 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: at the FBI and making that known in a really 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: bold and brave way. How is the FBI doing so 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: far under a cash Patel? You know, how would you 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: assess sort of his first one hundred plus days so 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: far or however long it's been since he was confirmed. 38 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: I should have done the math, but you know what 40 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: I mean, Yeah. 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little lesson one hundred days, but yeah, yeah, yeah, 42 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: something like that. 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: But you know, right exactly. So, I think that Cash 44 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: Mattel is a brought to fresh air and for those 45 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: of those of us the FBI that really just wanted 46 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 3: to come and serve with honor and put bad folks 47 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: behind bars, uphold the constitution, protect the American people. I mean, 48 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: his Mantra is letting good cops be good cops, and frankly, 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: that's what the FBI should be doing. And I love 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: seeing what he's doing because that's exactly what is happening. 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: And I left the FBI, uh the latter end close 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 3: to the end of twenty twenty two, and it was 53 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 3: under the Biden administration. I had worked under three different administrations, 54 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: and it was just such a stark contrast to go 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: from you know, one administration where President Trump was very 56 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: much focused on fighting violent crime, and then to go 57 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: into the Biden administration, which was very much focused on 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: January sixth and going after quote unquote domestic terrorism and 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: going after conservatives, and the list goes on and on. 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: Yet the FBI at the same time turning a blind 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: eye towards crimes that were being committed by those on 62 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: the you know, more liberal and progressive end of the spectrum, 63 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: and the Biden family in particular. So to see Cash 64 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: Betel come in and to say, look, the political weaponization 65 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: of the FBI is over is very refreshing. And I 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 3: do think that he's made some bold moves when he 67 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: initially came in those on the seventh floor, he basically 68 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: cleaned house of the senior level executives on the seventh 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: floor of the Hoover Building at the FBI headquarters. And 70 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: I don't think the reform stops there. I've talked about 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: it many times. The FBI leadership is just the beginning. Unfortunately, 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: a lot of the issues start at the top, but 73 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: they trickle down all the way through the organization, all 74 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: the way down to you know, those in the field 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: agents support staff. And so I think what they're doing 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: is looking at each individual field office, looking at the 77 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: special agents in charge of each of those field offices. 78 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: And I think, frankly, Lisa, a lot of these people 79 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: that are not on board with the new administration and 80 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: the way the FBI should be functioning. I think a 81 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: lot of them are just retiring. If they're eligible to retire, 82 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: they're retiring. And I don't think that's a bad thing, 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: because that way, you're automatically cleaning house by those that 84 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, get on board. No problem. 85 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: You're eligible to retire, is time for you to go. 86 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: And so I think Americans expect to see change so 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: quickly and drastically, and we have to remember that this 88 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: problem didn't start overnight, and solving it is not going 89 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: to happen overnight. But what I've seen Cash Betel doing 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: at the direction and instruction as well under the leadership 91 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: of Attorney General Pam Bondi and ultimately under the leadership 92 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: of President Trump, I have to say, I think they're 93 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: doing an outstanding job well. 94 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: And to that point, you know, as you can pointed out, 95 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: they've pushed out some of the more senior agents and 96 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: senior officials. They're also reassigning agents, and they've resigned some 97 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators during the twenty 98 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: twenty protests after George Floyd's death. They are also reviewing 99 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: the conduct of more than fifteen hundred agents associated with 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: some of the more politically motivated cases. 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: What do you think about those moves? 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: And then also what do you think their process is 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: when they're going through those fifteen hundred agents to decide 104 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: if they should be reassigned or. 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: Pushed out. 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: Okay, so, first of all, you bring up a very 107 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: valid and important point. The story that came out I 108 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: believe CNN broke it actually last week is that there 109 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: were members of the FBI Special Agents and it was 110 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: on June fourth, at twenty twenty, and they were seen 111 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: kneeling to George George Floyd protesters in Washington, d C. 112 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: And what they did was wrong. These are FBI agents 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: in their ballistic vests clearly marked with FBI at THEI. 114 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: Agents current and retired were appalled by what happened on 115 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: June fourth of twenty twenty. We were absolutely shocked. But 116 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: what I've said before is that there really are two fbis. 117 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 3: There were individuals that were appalled and shocked by that 118 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 3: behavior of those agents that not to the protesters June 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: fourth of twenty twenty. And yet as we see with 120 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: what just occurred with these reassignments and emotions of those individuals, 121 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: there were current and retired agents that were disgusted that 122 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: these individuals were demoted. So there really is a push 123 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 3: and pull inside the FBI. Some people praised the kneeling 124 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 3: of the protesters, others were disgusted by the kneeling of 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: the agents to the protesters. And so it highlights what 126 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: I believe is an underlying issue at the FBI. There 127 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: really are two fbis, and one to cash Bettel's really 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: big jobs is going to be to make it one FBI. 129 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 3: But going back to the kneelers, what they did was 130 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: clearly wrong, and they're clearly marked at the iballistic vests, 131 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: and it appeared they were supporting the cause of the 132 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: George Floyd protesters. And like it is never appropriate to 133 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: make any political or social statement on FBI time and 134 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: FBI gear, and especially in public, and the FBI is 135 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: supposed to remain politically and socially neutral, and just like 136 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: wearing a Trump shirt while working on FBI time is 137 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: entirely inappropriate. You have your First Amendment rights, you have 138 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: your rights to your opinions, but when you are an 139 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: FBI special agent who has been charged with enforcing the law, 140 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: you have to leave those political and social opinions at 141 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: the door. And unfortunately, what I witnessed under the last 142 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: several years, prior to Trump coming in again as president, 143 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: under the Biden administration, particularly the FBI, political and social 144 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: weaponization was at an all time high. And so these 145 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: protesters claim that they were in fear for their lives, 146 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: they were in fear of violence breaking out, and in 147 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: my opinion, I saw no signs of violence or anyone 148 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: being in eminent danger of death or serious physical injury. 149 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: In fact, I saw agents that were clapping and we're 150 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: smiling at the protesters, and those are definitely not science 151 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: of dress or stress. And so we are highly trained 152 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: in the FBI to defend ourselves against violence in violence situations, 153 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: we are not trained to nil. That is not what 154 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 3: we are trained to do. And so FBI one agents 155 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: people that are trying to do the right thing. At 156 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: the FBI. We were certain, We're like, these agents are 157 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 3: going to get reprimanded, they're probably going to get fired, 158 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: and we were shocked. Not only did that not happen, Lisa, 159 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 3: they got promotions to some of the most highly sought 160 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 3: after positions at the FBI, and the FBI Agents Association 161 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: actually offered them one hundred dollars gift cards for the 162 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: stress that they had to go through that day. And 163 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 3: I can tell you right now, I've worked some very 164 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: high stress situations and I was never offered a one 165 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: hundred dollars gift card. And so that's just a slice 166 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 3: of what was going on at the FBI under the 167 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: last administration and under the leadership of Christopher Ray. So 168 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: those are that's just one blatant example of political and 169 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 3: social weaponization and so I do agree when cash is 170 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 3: coming in Director Patel and saying, look, that should not 171 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: be rewarded. And those individuals were reassigned and demoted. Obviously, 172 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: the FBI doesn't give an official statement on it because 173 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 3: they don't discuss personnel matters, but they did there were 174 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: individuals that came out and spoke about that. 175 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: How do you Okay, So I get to senior officials 176 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: and the people calling them shots, right, because they're the 177 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: decision makers, right, and they're making bad decisions, then you 178 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: know they should be cut loose or I never reassigned 179 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: sometimes that they can't fire people or whatever. 180 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: But for the fifteen hundred. 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: Asians the looking at, I guess, how do you decide 182 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: between like, were they just doing their jobs because that's 183 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: what they were asked to do working at the FBI, 184 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: or are they to blame? 185 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: Right? 186 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Like, I guess, how do you figure that out? If 187 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: this is an excuse that it's just their job. 188 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just trying to think through it. 189 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: Right, And that's a logical question to ask, And I 190 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: agree with you one hundred percent. You know, well, what 191 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: is the what are they looking at? And I think 192 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: what the media is reporting what's actually happening internally at 193 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: the FBI, or sometimes very two different things. But I 194 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 3: do think that there are individuals who are not in 195 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: leadership roles at the FBI who have done the wrong 196 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: thing and they basically use their law enforcement power to 197 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: push their political and social agendas. And trust me, there 198 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 3: are ways for the new FBI director to find that out. 199 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 3: And I think it's a lot about motive and intent. Right, 200 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: there were a lot of agents that said, you know, 201 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: several agents, thousands of FBI employees were assigned to work 202 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: January sixth investigations. And I can tell you that I 203 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: personally know people that did not want to do that, 204 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: and they did it because they were told that they 205 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: had to, and they you know, while I'm doing what 206 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: I'm told to do, I also know agents and support 207 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: staff that were told to do it and they said, 208 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that. And 209 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: so I think it really has to do with a 210 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 3: lot of times in life, and especially at the FBI, 211 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: what is your motive? Are you salivating at the chance 212 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: to go after Trump supporters? Because I can tell you 213 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: there were individuals at the FBI that literally were that's 214 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: what they you know, they had no problem doing that, 215 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: and there were others that were more resistant, and so 216 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: they're going to have to look at the individuals on 217 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: a case by case basis. I'm not sure what their 218 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: criteria is or what they're looking at, and I'm not 219 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: sure what their overall plan is, but I'm telling you 220 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: it starts at the top. And so I think that's 221 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: what they're initially trying to do, is toart with the 222 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: leadership and see who is where and what needs to change. 223 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: And I have no doubt in my mind though, that 224 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: there will be accountability and that there will be tangible 225 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: consequences for those who have not done the right thing 226 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: as they have served in the FBI. There has to 227 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: be an order to gain the trust of the American people, 228 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: there has to be consequences. And you know, we talked 229 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: about another case, the twenty seventeen shooting at the baseball game. 230 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: Right we'll see if Scalie almost died, that's serious. And 231 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: and it just came out and they've reviewed and cash 232 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: Pateel director Patel released you know, the file, and there's 233 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: there's proof that that was a boshed investigation. 234 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: And so just real quick for the audience. 235 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: So the House Republicans, because of information that records released 236 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: to Congress by Cash Patel in March, the House Republican 237 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: and have revisited the twenty seventeen congressional baseball shooting. They 238 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: put out a report from the House Intelligence Committee, and 239 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: basically the FBI initially tried to characterize the intentional shooting, 240 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: the intentional assassination of House Republicans as a suicide by 241 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: cop mission by the Bernie Sanders supporter instead of what 242 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: we know it to be, which was an act of terrorism, 243 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: basically a politically motivated active terrorism to kill Republicans. 244 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: Correct and for an FBI agent to not be able 245 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: to see that and to call it what it is, 246 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: there needs to be accountability. Granted that was in twenty seventeen. 247 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you who worked that investigation, what their 248 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: status is with the FBI, of their current employees that 249 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 3: they retired years ago, I don't know. But that is 250 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: the type of thing that destroys the trust of the 251 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 3: American people, and there has to be accountability and consequences. 252 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: And one thing I deeply respect about this new administration 253 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 3: and about what Director Patel is doing, is he's transparent. 254 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: You're seeing more things released. This was back in twenty seventeen, 255 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 3: it is now twenty twenty five. Why did it take 256 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: them so long to release this? Right, A lot of 257 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: documents are classified. The FBI has a lot of classified information. Well, 258 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: they do that for several reasons. Sometimes it's fully justified 259 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: that it's classified. But I personally believe many things are 260 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: overclassified in an effort to keep it within the agency. Right, 261 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: and so I have a huge amount of respect for 262 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: what Director Patel is doing. He's going in there and 263 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: he's saying, Look, we need to gain the trust of 264 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: the American people. Let's be transparent, let's be honest, let's 265 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 3: learn from our past mistakes, let's have accountability, and let's 266 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: move forward. But let's get back to what Americans actually 267 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: care about. Okay, the fact that they focused on January 268 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 3: sixth predominantly misdemeanors for four years, Well, there were violent 269 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 3: criminals pouring into our country across the border, and there 270 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: are people who have been murdered. That's Americans want to 271 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: feel safe, and that's what this FBI is going to 272 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: be about, making America safe again. But again, we cannot, 273 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: we cannot forget what happened, and there has to be consequences, 274 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: but we've got to look forward and take care of 275 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: making America safe again. 276 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: Well, and tash Fattel made. 277 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: That point during his confirmation hearing, which I thought was 278 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: really great to hear. 279 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: He so that his objective is that, you know, the 280 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: hundred thousand. 281 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: Rapes in this country in the next year, or to 282 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: make sure that you know when you're looking at like 283 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: thee hundred thousand rapes that we saw, or the one 284 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: hundred thousand drug overdoses from Chinese fentanyl and Mexican heroine 285 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: in seventeen thousand homicides, that his goal is to look 286 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: to try to you know, cut those in half, to 287 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: diminish those, to get back to the basics, as you 288 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: pointed out, of what the FBI is supposed to be about, 289 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: the real core mission of the FBI, and you know, 290 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: to get away from all the politics. 291 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: Right correct, foreign terrorist organization groups, that's FBI's primary responsibility, 292 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: you know, foreign and domestic terrorism. But in the last administration, 293 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 3: the definition of domestic terrorism doesn't exactly match what the 294 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 3: true you know, definition of domestic terrorism is. Going after 295 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: school board parents, you know, going after Catholics. That's not 296 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: what the FBI's focus should be. So foreign terrorist organization groups, 297 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: terrorism in general, foreign and domestic, obviously, counterintelligence espionage. There 298 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: are some major threats coming from China, Russia. These are 299 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: things that the FBI is entrusted to investigate and to 300 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: protect us from. And additionally, you have all the criminal matters. Okay, 301 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: so you've got the terrorism side of the house, counterintelligence 302 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: side of the house, and the criminal side of the house. 303 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: All of those together have to be investigated. And so 304 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: the use of you know, valuable resources at the bureau, 305 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: we have to make sure that we're prioritizing what truly 306 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: matters most and protecting our country. And I can tell 307 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: you what they did for the last four years, and 308 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 3: focusing on January sixth misdemeanors, in my opinion, was a 309 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 3: blatant misuse of FBI resources. And now Cash Betel is 310 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 3: getting the FBI back on track with Dan Bongino and 311 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: all of the other leadership that they're appointing, and they're 312 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: looking at the true threats facing Americans and I respect that, 313 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: and as an agent who worked violent crime, that's a 314 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: serious problem in our country, and especially violent crimes against children. 315 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: Well, I also think that you know, they put us 316 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: at risk. To your point, because if you're focused on 317 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: going after grandma who's spent two seconds in you know, 318 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: the capital and didn't cause any harm to anyone, It 319 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: didn't cause any injury to anyone, that means you're not 320 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: going after like a terrorist, or you're not going after 321 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: a child molester. 322 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: Or you're not going after you know. 323 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: It's like you're missing the big fish and an effort 324 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: to catch like. 325 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 2: Someone who probably shouldn't even be rested to begin with. 326 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: You know. So it's like, so that made us less safe. 327 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: We've gotten more with th Nicole. 328 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: But first, as Mother Day approaches, I want to highlight 329 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: an organization that cares deeply for mothers, and that's Preborn. 330 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: Preborn's network of clinics exists exclusively to offer love, life 331 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: and support to pregnant mothers who are feeling scared and 332 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: alone and are being pressured to make the ultimate choice 333 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: that will not only sacrifice the life of their preborn baby, 334 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: but also take a piece of their heart.

I want to ask you. 351 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: Too about the way the FBI is traditionally structured and 352 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: then this desire for reform from cash Hotel to sort 353 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: of decentralize the command structure, to you know, reorganize the 354 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: FBI into like three regional divisions, and to kind of 355 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: like what do you make of that desire to decentralize, 356 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: What do you think that would mean for the FBI? 357 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: And how do you see that. 358 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 3: Okay, So, first of all, I think a lot of 359 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 3: the problems from the FBI again FBI two, it's what 360 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 3: I refer to it the political and social weaponization. Those 361 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 3: that are not doing the right thing. I think a 362 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: lot of them do STEM and the nucleus has traditionally 363 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 3: been in the Washing area, either at headquarters or Washington 364 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 3: Field office, and so I think what his goal is 365 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: to there are way too many people in Washington, DC 366 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 3: and the headquarters division. Okay, what is asking and changing 367 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 3: is decentralizing a lot of that and sending a lot 368 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: of those agents that are in positions that I would 369 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 3: say almost administrative. I call them paper pushers. Sometimes they're 370 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: not actually working cases and investigations that are protecting and 371 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: saving the American people. They're up at headquarters doing administrative work. Okay, 372 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: that's not really what Americans need right now. So I 373 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 3: love the idea that Director Patel is sending agents from 374 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: headquarters in DC and saying no, you're going back to 375 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 3: the field. And that's all going to come into effect, 376 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: I believe, you know, in the next couple of months. 377 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: We're talking a lot of people that have been a 378 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: FBI headquarters in Washington d C on what we call 379 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: temporary duty assignments TV wise, typically they're about eighteen months, 380 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 3: and he's saying, a lot of you are now going 381 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 3: back to the field offices because that's actually where the 382 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: crimes are committed, and that's where they need the agents 383 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 3: is working actual investigations, because investigations are what cause people 384 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 3: to agents and conduct investigations. That's when you're putting the 385 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: handcuffs on people and they're going behind bars. That's what 386 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: actually makes America safe, not pushing paper up at DC. 387 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 3: And so I love that that's what he's doing, and 388 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: so decentralizing a lot of it and getting bodies out 389 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 3: of DC. Unfortunately, a lot of the deep rat is 390 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: so intertwined in that inner belt way of DC, and 391 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 3: by moving bodies out, I think it really will assist 392 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: in decentralizing the problems of the FBI and breaking it 393 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: up and getting people back into the field doing work 394 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: and putting it into the different components of like the 395 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: three different regions. I think it's something that they should 396 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: definitely continue to pursue. Let's see how it works. But 397 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 3: what they're doing right now and what Christopher Ray had 398 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 3: been doing in Jim comey, it wasn't working, it wasn't successful, 399 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: and the FBI became completely politically and socially weaponized under 400 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 3: that structure. And so I like that he's taking a 401 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: fresh look and trying to see how can we really 402 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: create true reform and so again taking these tdy assignments, 403 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 3: putting agents back into the field where they're actually working cases. 404 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 3: I think that's a huge, a huge bonus in a 405 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 3: great move for the FBI. 406 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: So it's the report of this week that the FBI 407 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: is investigating this what they call sophisticated criminal network targeting 408 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: kids and online in teens online known as seven sixty four, 409 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: and the predators are known for targeting miners on social media, 410 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: using corrosion to get them to film themselves becoming violent 411 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: acts or sexual act or violence or sexual acts, and 412 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: then using those videos to extort minors for more violence 413 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: and sexual videos that are then shared with the seven 414 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four. 415 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: That's what the group called the group of followers. 416 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: So they're investigating at least two hundred and fifty subjects 417 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: who are tied to this online network. 418 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: Have you heard of this online network before? 419 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Does anything stand out to you about you know, hearing 420 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: about this network called seven sixty four. 421 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: Yes, so first of all, yes, this is something that 422 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: the FBI has been looking into and will continue to 423 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 3: look into. There are some very dark, evil things that 424 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: the FBI investigates, and in my opinion, the violent crimes 425 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: against children, that's what this you know violation would fall 426 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 3: under the crimes against children. To me, it is the 427 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 3: darkest work that FBI agents do. And children are the 428 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: most vulnerable members of our society. And unfortunately, there are 429 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: some evil, sick monsters out there who are violating our 430 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 3: children and are doing evil and disgusting things to our children. 431 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 3: And like I said, they are the most vulnerable. They 432 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 3: don't have things to defend themselves. They are moldable, they 433 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 3: are you know they do it's online predators. It is 434 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 3: so imperative that parents are aware of what their children 435 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: are doing online. Who are they communicating with, how are 436 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 3: they being attacked online? A lot of this is happening 437 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 3: and parents don't even know. I've I've worked on VCAC squads, 438 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 3: I've worked recruiting sources for crimes against children. It is 439 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: very very dark, and I can tell you that this 440 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 3: administration is going to be more committed to protecting our children, 441 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 3: probably than any other administration. I know Attorney General Pam 442 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 3: Bondi is all hands on deck. I know at the I, 443 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: Director Cash Betel, all hands on deck. And frankly, the 444 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: work that those agents are doing, it is exhausting. They 445 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: are swamped. It is overwhelming. And this is an example 446 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 3: of how I would like to see personally resources that 447 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: may have been dedicated towards January sixth and shifting it 448 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: over to protecting and saving our children. These are complicated 449 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 3: and sophisticated cases. They are very dangerous, Lisa, I know 450 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 3: I've talked to you about it before. My best friend 451 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: in the FBI, special agent Laura Schwarzenberger shot and killed 452 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 3: the morning of February second, of twenty twenty one, and 453 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 3: she was executing a search warrant against a child predator. Okay, 454 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: this is serious. These criminals are the most dangerous. They 455 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 3: know that they're going away for a very long time 456 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: because when you go to jail for a crime like that, 457 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: like Pam Bombi has promised today, this administration is not 458 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 3: going to go easy on these people, and you're potentially 459 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: looking at life. I've worked investigations for crimes against children 460 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 3: I worked one in particular. Off the top of my head, 461 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 3: the guy got four life sentences. That's more than some 462 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 3: people get for, you know, killing someone, and so it's serious. 463 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 3: But what they're doing to your child is even more serious. 464 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: And the way that they manipulate and hurt children is inexcusable. 465 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: And we must treat this and execute and prosecute them 466 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: to the fullest extent of the law. They must be 467 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 3: prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And so 468 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: I love that the FBI was participating with DOJ and 469 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: they came in and executed these arrests of a couple 470 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 3: hundred people. That's huge, and that is a wake up 471 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 3: called the American people. Director Patel means business. Attorney General 472 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: Pambondi means business. And they are not going to back down. 473 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: And I don't know about you, but I'd rather be 474 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: hearing about children being protected than Grandma's getting arrested for 475 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 3: going inside the capital with their camera or their phone. 476 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 3: That's what the FBI needs to be doing, and that's 477 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: what you can expect to see more of. And that's 478 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 3: what's going to regain the trust of the American people. 479 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: We've got to take a quick commercial break, but we've 480 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: got more with Nicole Parker. 481 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: On the other side. 482 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: If you like what you're hearing, please share the podcast 483 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: with your friends, with your family, share it on social media, 484 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Stay tuned. And there's been criticism from the right about 485 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: with the Attorney General, Pam Bondie and Cash Hotel for 486 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: not releasing things like the Epstein files, of you know, 487 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: wanting more information, of wanting that transparency. The Attorney General 488 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: said that the FBI is going through the Epstein files, 489 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: that there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein 490 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: with children or child porn and hundreds of victims, and 491 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: the FBI is going through all that. Will we get 492 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: that information about Jeffrey Epstein and who was involved? 493 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: Do you think that information will ever come delight? 494 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: What I believe is if Pam Bondi says she's going 495 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 3: to do something, she is going to do it. And 496 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: my understanding is that they're working on it right now 497 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 3: at the FBI. And there are very important rules and 498 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: laws and protections that a lot of people may not 499 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: be aware of. But as a victim of a crime, 500 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 3: you have rights, and when you are a juvenile also 501 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: known as a minor, we protect them and those victims, 502 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: they must be protected. Their identities have to be protected, 503 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 3: their information has to be protected, and that's how it 504 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: should be, and that's what Americas should want. We do 505 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: not want to exploit any of these victims. They've already 506 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 3: been horrified enough that they had to live through this, 507 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 3: and so a lot of time it takes to go 508 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 3: through and make sure that anything that refers to a 509 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: victim has to be redacted, any of the information about them, 510 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: their age, you know, all of that sort of information 511 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: has to be redacted. We've got images, videos, child porn. 512 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: I mean, it is a lot of information that they're 513 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 3: having to go through. So it takes time, and I 514 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 3: know that's not what people want to hear, but it's 515 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 3: got to be done right, and that's out of respect 516 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 3: for the victims. 517 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: Makes sense, No, cool Parker. Great to have you on, 518 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: my friend. 519 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: I appreciate you bring us some insight into some of 520 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: the FBI developments and would love to have you back 521 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: on and hope to see you soon. 522 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: My pleasure. And again, I'm very hopeful and I think 523 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: amazing things are in store for our country and I 524 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 3: think the FBI is getting back on track. 525 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: Well, your hopefulness makes me more hopeful. 526 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it, all right, thank you my friend, 527 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: take care right bybye.
