1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: with you, and we have got a lot to talk 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: about today, Senator, and I want to give a roadmap 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: for people because there's so much news happening. First off, 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: a big victory, and we're gonna get to this. First, 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: dealing with a nomination someone from the Biden administration that's 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: actually been pulled. You're going to give that update. Plus 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: what's going on in Mexico with the four Americans that 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: we're taking hostage. Two of them have died. We also 10 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: have another issue with Fauci emails. And finally January the six, Senator, 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: let's start with this big information, big news of victory 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: of the fact that President Biden's nomination of Gigi Son 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: to serve as a commissioner of the US Federal Communications 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: Commissioners the FCC has been pulled. How did we get there? 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: I know that something you talked about on this show 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: early on, and we're leading the way saying she was 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: not qualified. Well, this is a huge victory. So Joe 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: Biden had nominated Gigi Son be a commissioner of the FCC, 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the Federal Communications Commission and many believe that Biden intended 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: to name her the chairman of the Commission if she 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: had been confirmed. Ggsone has been a left wing activist 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: her entire life. She is a hardcore activist. She had 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: repeatedly denounced Fox News as an enemy to democracy, as 24 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: a threat to democracy. She had demonstrated a willingness to 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: use the powers of the SEC to deny licenses and 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: to otherwise used government power to silence conservative voices. And 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: she had a remarkable pattern of just being a partisan activist. So, 28 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: for example, there was a group called Fighting for a 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: Future that gigsone had supported for years, and every year 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: she sent out tweets fundraising for Fighting for a Future. 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: Now GGE did this even though the group Fighting for 32 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: Our Future had a long standing practice of attacking multiple 33 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: Senators and multiple Senators on the Commerce Committee. If you're 34 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: nominated on the SEC, it's the Commerce Committee that has 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: to confirm you. So Fighting for a Future had put 36 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: out billboards attacking Senator Marsha Blackburn is on the Commerce 37 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Committee with me. They'd put out billboards attacking Senator Dan 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: Sullivan is on the Commerce Commitment Committee with me. They 39 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: had attacked Roger Wicker, who's the former chairman, forming ranking 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: member of the Commerce Committee. But interestingly enough, Ben, they 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: hadn't just attacked Republicans, They'd attacked a bunch of Democrats. 42 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: So they'd put up billboards saying John Tester, the Democrats 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: Senator from Montana, is corrupt. They'd put up billboards saying 44 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: Gary Peters, the Democrats Senator from Michigan, is corrupt. They'd 45 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: put up billboards saying Kirsten Cinema, the Democrats Senator from Arizona, 46 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: is corrupt. And I'm Amazingly enough, this group also sent 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: a letter to Chuck Schumer in December of last year, 48 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: urging Schumer to fire Maria kent Well, the Democrat is 49 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: the chairman of the committee, because the committee had yet 50 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: confirmed gigisone, And after all of these solicitations, every year 51 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: gisone would ask for people to contribute and support this, 52 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: and so gisone had three different confirmation hearings, the most 53 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: recent one a couple of weeks ago. I'm the ranking 54 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: member of the Commerce Committee. I led the fight against him. 55 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: I walked her through each of these. I said, look, 56 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: do you believe John Tester is corrupt? She says no, 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Do you believe Gary Peters is corrupt, she says no. 58 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: Do you believe Kirsten Cinema's corrupt? She says no. Did 59 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: you know this group was putting up these billboards and 60 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: attacking these senators? And she said, well, I knew about 61 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: the billboard attacking Cinema And I said no. Did you 62 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: raise money for her for them after that? And she said, oh, yeah, 63 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: completely unapologetically. I laughed. I said, look, I don't know 64 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: in ten years in the Senate that I've ever seen 65 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: a nominee who supports a group that attacks half the 66 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: senators on the committee that are supposed to confirm her. 67 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: It was remarkable. Now, I'll tell you a funny epilogue 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: to this. I said it the hearing. I said, listen, 69 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of offended, like this group is attacked half 70 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: the senators here, but they haven't attacked me. Like, what 71 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: do I have to do to get this left wing 72 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: group mad at me? I would have thought I have 73 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: done sufficient to attract their ire, and I'm feeling kind 74 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: of neglected here. Now. This group they heard what I said, 75 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: and I guess it prompted them to action. So they 76 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: launched online a crowdfunding effort to raise money to put 77 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: up a billboard attacking me. It's so it's the billboard 78 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: as a picture of me, and it has a website, 79 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Hates free Speech dot com. I'm sorry, I 80 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: was not expecting that to be the name of the website, 81 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: but go ahead. So set aside that if there's I 82 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: don't know that there's anything I love more than free speech. Yeah, 83 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: other than God, my family in America. But free speech 84 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: is intimately intertwined with that. But here's the part that's beautiful. Bad. 85 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: This left wing group, they're really partisan, but they're not 86 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: very good. So they didn't actually buy the website. So 87 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: the billboard that they were crowdfunding to raise the website 88 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: was still available. So I bought it, and so I 89 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: now owned the website Ted Cruz Hates Freespeech dot com. 90 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: And I promptly turned it into a campaign fundraising website, 91 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: and I tweeted out said, hey, I really appreciate you 92 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: guys putting this billboard up and urging people to go 93 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to this website to contribute to my senate real life. 94 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: That's just an amazing thing. Any the best investment you've 95 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: ever made in any website, every you may have missed 96 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: the investment window on some of the big stuff, but 97 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: at least you got that website. It was really so 98 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: her record is extreme. It was she is a partisan advocate, 99 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and Biden was giving in to the radical left by 100 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: trying to name her to the FCC because I believe 101 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: he wanted to use government power to silence conservative voters, 102 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: to attack Fox News, to attack conservative outlets, and to 103 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: advance an extreme partisan agenda. In the Commerce Committee, we 104 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: managed to hold all the Republicans together and multiple Democrats 105 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: expressed skepticism. Well, today mid day, Joe Mansion put out 106 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: a statement saying he was a no. He was voting no, 107 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: and about an hour later we got a formal announcement 108 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: that Gigsone was withdrawing her nomination. The White House was 109 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: withdrawing her nomination. Now I'll tell you I was actually 110 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: sitting at lunch with my colleagues. All the Republican senators 111 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. So I 112 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: was sitting at lunch at one fifty pm. The lunch 113 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: typically runs from twelve thirty to two pm. At like 114 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: one fifty pm, my staff director sends me a text 115 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: and says, hey, We're hearing lots of rumors in town 116 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: that Gigison is going to withdraw. And I'm like, okay, great, 117 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: how we're liable? Are these rumors? Are they real? And 118 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: he's like, well, it's kind of the lobby crew in town, 119 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: but most of their rumors have been pretty accurate on this, 120 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: and so I'm like, well, try to nail this down. 121 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: I want to know for sure. And then at about 122 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: one fifty seven, so about three minutes before the lunch 123 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: is over, my guys send me a text of the 124 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: media stories that had just broken saying the White House 125 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: had withdrawn her nomination. So I stood up at lunch. 126 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: It was the very end of lunch and I said, hey, 127 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: just wanted everyone to let you know the news just 128 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: broke about two minutes ago the White House is withdrawn 129 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: gig sons nomination. I'll tell you, the entire Republican conference 130 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: broke out an applause, and that's awesome, and I really 131 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: I gave a testament to all of the Republicans on 132 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the Commerce Committee, who state united, who state focused? You know, 133 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: in my new role as ranking member, we tried very 134 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: hard to work with each of their teams to help 135 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: each of the members focus on a different aspect of 136 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: her record, but it was a comprehensive effort to make 137 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: clear she is not forced someone on an independent agency 138 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: like the FCC. You want someone fair, you want someone impartial, 139 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: you want someone who will respect free speech. This was 140 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: a nominee who was not and as of today, this 141 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: nomination has been defeated. It's a success story coming out 142 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: of Washington that we wanted to make sure people knew 143 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: about because this is what happens when people expose these 144 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: individuals and let everybody know. And this podcast played a 145 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: pivotal role in exposing who this nominee was and why 146 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: they were not qualified. And this is a victory we 147 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: should all enjoy. On the important thing. Ben also to underscore, look, 148 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: we beat her in a Democrats Senate, which means if 149 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: it were just a party line vote, if it were 150 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: just all the d's vote yes, all the RS vote no, 151 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: she would have been confirmed. So to beat her, we 152 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: held all the rs together, but we also picked off 153 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: several d's and actually, from what I'm hearing, there may 154 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: have been as many as four or five six Democrats 155 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: who were going to vote no, and so that was 156 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: really a big victory because I gotta tell you, Democrats 157 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: senators have been willing to vote for some of the 158 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: most extreme nominees I've ever seen, so to actually flip 159 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: them was a great victory for free speech today. Yeah, 160 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It It was awesome. I want to 161 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: get to this other issue, and there was a shocking 162 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: issue of four Americans that were taken hostage in Mexico. 163 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: Before we get into that story, though, I want to 164 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at Chalk and Now you 165 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: know how much the left hates real men, men that 166 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: are masculine, and if you are getting older and you're 167 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: losing a little bit of that edge, then you need 168 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: to know about Chalkhoq. What do they do.

There was 180 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: a story that was really a shocking story. It also 181 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: came along with video, and that video showed four Americans 182 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: who had traveled into Mexico, right across the border with Texas, 183 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: going into Mexico. They were then ambushed. Two of them died. 184 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: They were taken and thrown into the back of a 185 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: white pickup truck. We saw this. The most shocking part 186 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: for me was not that the cartels did this, It 187 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: was the fact that the President United States of America 188 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: had nothing to say about it when these at that 189 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: point we didn't know if anyone had actually been killed 190 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: yet of these Americans, and the White House was asked 191 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: about what is the President doing and saying? And the 192 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: White House Press secretary all she had to offer the 193 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: American people and these hostages was this thank you. I 194 00:11:50,840 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: went on Mexico. I can tell you the President is 195 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: aware and has been informed. That's it. You're an American, 196 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: you're held hostage in Mexico. You're asked about it, and 197 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: the White House says he has been informed. Senator, he 198 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: is aware. That is all he had to say about this. 199 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: And now we found out two of the four are dead. 200 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: Your reaction, look, Ben, I really wish we had a 201 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: commander in chief. That reaction is pitiful. Anyone who kills 202 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: an American citizen should face serious consequences, should be held 203 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: to account. And the President was a wall. You had 204 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: four Americans. The story as we know it right now. 205 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: More facts may come out, but as we know it 206 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: right now, four Americans from South Carolina who traveled down 207 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: to Mexico so that one of them, a woman, could 208 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: get a medical procedure at Tummy Tuck. They drove down 209 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: there in a rental car. And what's been being reported 210 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: right now is the Gulf Cartel believed that they were 211 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: Haitian smugglers, either drug smugglers or human smugglers, we don't 212 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: know the exact details, and open fire on them and 213 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: two of them were killed, the third was injured, shot 214 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: in the leg, and the two that lived were taken 215 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: hostage for several days, and the President publicly didn't say 216 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: a damn word. President ought to stand up right now, 217 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: and he should have still stood up when they were 218 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: taken before we knew their situation, and said release these Americans. 219 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: America will not stand by while you kidnap Americans, while 220 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: you shoot Americans, while you murder Americans. And particularly this 221 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: happened just south of the US Mexico border, just south 222 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: of our southern border. Let me say secondly, this crisis 223 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: was caused by Joe Biden. Joe Biden's open border policies 224 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: have caused the worst crisis on our southern border in 225 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: our nation's history. In two and a half years, we've 226 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: seen over five and a half million illegal aliens crossing 227 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: the border. We saw last year more than one hundred 228 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: thousand drug overdoses in the United States, the highest level 229 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: in history. More than half of those are Chinese fentinolf 230 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: flooding across the border. But I'll tell you one of 231 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: the real consequences. So Biden came in, and Biden and 232 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: harrissed together. In the first week, they did three things. 233 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: They made three political decisions that caused this crisis. Number One, 234 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: they immediately halted construction of the border wall. Number two, 235 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: they reinstated the failed policy of catch and release, and 236 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: number three, they pulled out of the incredibly successful Remain 237 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,359 Speaker 1: in Mexico policy. That combination of policy and political decisions 238 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: caused this border crisis. But let me tell you the 239 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: real effects. According to the New York Times, in the 240 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: year twenty eighteen, the drug cartels in Mexico made roughly 241 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars. Now, let's and five hundred million 242 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: dollars a lot of money. They were doing quite well 243 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: last year. You know how much they made? How much? 244 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Thirteen billion dollars and that six hundred percent more. Yes, 245 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: it is without exaggeration, the single best thing that has 246 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: ever happened to Mexican drug cartels and drug lords is 247 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden becoming president. Their profits went up two thousand, 248 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: six hundred percent thirteen billion dollars. By the way of 249 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: that money, roughly half the money they make is from 250 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: human trafficking, from bringing human beings across the border in 251 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: horrible conditions of squalor and abuse, and roughly half of 252 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: it is from drug trafficking. So why do these cartels 253 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: feel that they have the power to kidnap and murder 254 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: American citizens? Well, when you're vicious terrorists, when you're violent criminals. 255 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: When you're cruel and abusive, and you got thirteen billion dollars. Sadly, 256 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: the impact in a country is terrible, and Joe Biden 257 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: caused this. It is tragic and it's unacceptable. The Attorney General, 258 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Bill bar former Attorney General Bill bar was asked about this, 259 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: and he obviously had to deal a lot with Mexico 260 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: when he was in charge under the Trump administration. He 261 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: summed it up by putting it this way. The Mexican 262 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: government is being held hostage by tens of thousands of 263 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: paramilitary members of terrorist organizations that effectively control Mexico. It's 264 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: pretty close at this stage to a failed narco state. 265 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: They can use violence and oceans of cash to corrupt 266 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: the government. The government has no will and it doesn't 267 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: have the ability to deal with the cartels, and they 268 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: are sitting next door producing mountains of poisonous drugs and 269 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: killing over one hundred thousand Americans a year, which was 270 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: at the height of World War Two. That was our 271 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: killed in action rate. So we are sustaining the same 272 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: damage as we would in a major war from these 273 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: groups operating right beyond our reach. Senator, when you put 274 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: in perspective the way that he did, talking about the 275 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: number of people that have died, you know, the killing 276 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: of over one hundred thousand Americans a year, which which 277 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: was what we were dealing with the height of World 278 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: War Two, that was our killed in action rate. And 279 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: we're sustaining those losses right now because of an open border, 280 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: because of this president, and he doesn't seem to have 281 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: any connection to reality or want to stop the death 282 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: of all these Americans. And even when Americans are being 283 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: taken hostage, did you ever think you would see a 284 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: day where a president wouldn't immediately come out to the 285 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: White House Press briefing and say, I want to make 286 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: it clear of the cartels whoever took these ammerins, you 287 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: better return them or we will unleash holy hell on you. 288 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: And if the Mexican government is the failure that was 289 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: just described here by Bill bar that's basically a narco state. 290 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: And you know that because he was just down there. 291 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you said this, Because you hadn't no honest 292 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: ability to believe that the Mexican government was going to 293 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: be able to find these people before two or three 294 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: or four die well. Because Joe Biden is an unbelievably 295 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: weak president. Listen Bill Barr, as you know, he's been 296 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: a friend for a long time. For twenty years, we've 297 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: had Bill Barr as a guest on this podcast when 298 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: he was Attorney General under Donald Trump. And Barr has 299 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: spent a lifetime fighting for law and order, fighting against 300 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: drug dealers, fighting against human traffickers, fighting to keep innocent 301 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: people safe. And the condition in Mexico is tragic. These 302 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: drug cartels are more powerful than they have ever been 303 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: in the history of Mexico or the history of the world. 304 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is making them powerful. He is making 305 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: them incredibly rich by allowing their businesses to flourish and prosper. 306 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: And listen, Bill Barr is right that the Mexican government 307 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: sadly has at best turned a blind eye to the 308 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: horrific predations of these drug cartels, and at worst has 309 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: been complicit in them. You know, it was really striking 310 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: when Biden went down to Mexico and did a press 311 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: conference with Amlo, the extreme leftist president of Mexico. Amlo 312 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: praised him effusively in Spanish. We played it on this podcast. 313 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: He praised him as being the first president in modern 314 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: times Republican or Democrat not to build a single meter 315 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: of border wall. Now, Amlo was praising him for essentially 316 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: abandoning his obligation to protect America and keep us safe. 317 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: But that is also the praise of someone talking about 318 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: a president the United States who Amlow believes is weak, 319 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: who Amlow believes is not formidable. You know, last night 320 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: I went on Jesse Waters and Jesse asked me about 321 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham had said we ought to send in the military, 322 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: we had to kill these drug cartels. And let me 323 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: be clear, I Lindsay's a friend, but I don't agree 324 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: with his recommendation there. I don't think we ought to 325 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: invade Mexico. I don't think we ought to be in 326 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: the business of invading foreign nations. But I do think 327 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: the President ought to make unequivocally clear to the Mexican government, 328 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: you will hunt down, you will send in the Mexican army. 329 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: You will arrest these cartel members that murdered these American citizens. 330 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 1: You will extradite them to the United States, and they 331 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: will face the full force of the justice system in 332 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America. And you might say, well, Gosh, 333 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: Amlow's too weak to do that. He's unwilling to do that. 334 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. When Trump was president, Amlo was 335 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: terrified at Trump. When Trump was president, Amlo read to 336 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: the Remain in Mexico agreement. He actually stationed thousands of 337 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: Mexican soldiers on Mexico's southern bordering. You know, you look 338 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: at the map, Mexico's southern border along Guatemala is much 339 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: much smaller than our southern border, which is two thousand 340 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: miles between the United States and Mexico. If you want 341 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: to stop illegal immigrations, one of the way, one of 342 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: the ways you do it is you you seal the 343 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: southern border of Mexico. Amlo did it because he was 344 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: terrified of Trump. Because Biden is such a weak president. 345 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: Everyone walks all over him. And sadly, these American citizens, 346 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: they're from South Carolina. Two of them lost their lives 347 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: because of the drug cartels empowered by Joe Biden, and 348 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: two of them were kidnapped, while Joe Biden remained silent 349 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: and did not use the power of the United States 350 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: to defend those Americans. Yeah, it is a scary thing, 351 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: and I think the part that was the most shocking 352 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: for me was the fact that we only offered at 353 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to get information about the whereabouts, and 354 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: I said, wow, I'm basically worth twelve thousand, five hundred dollars. 355 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: But if you come across the border illegally, you'll get 356 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: far more than that from the US government. And we're 357 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: sending far more than that to people in Ukraine. That 358 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: is again shows you just how low the American people 359 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: are on the priority list of this White House. I 360 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: want to be ben for what it's worth. I'd pony 361 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: up at least thirteen thousand for information on you. Thank you, 362 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: Thank you, at least thirteen I got your back. It's 363 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: not your twelve five man, You're the entire United States 364 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: government right now? Do I get to combine funds because 365 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: that's like almost twenty five right there. Look, I don't 366 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: have a multi trillion dollars GDP, so you should feel 367 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: really good. I just committed thirteen grand I'll be in 368 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: trouble at home for that. I'm gonna get this in writing, 369 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Beaz if we ever go missing, we know, we know 370 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: Senator Cruise has got our back on that one. I 371 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: want to get to something else, and that is these 372 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 1: By the way, thirteen. No one. I may be like 373 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: new number who I don't know that that former person 374 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: that I used to work with you. I can. I 375 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: can hear the press conference right now. At least I'd 376 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: get a press conference out of it. That would be 377 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: the good news. I got your back. Thank you, thank you. 378 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I want to get in these emails 379 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: with doctor Fauci that apparently these new emails are showing 380 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: the doctor Anthony Faucci actually commissioned a scientific paper in 381 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty to disprove the Wuhan lab leak 382 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: quote theory. Before I get to that, I want to 383 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at August of Precious Metals. 384 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: You've probably seen what's been going on with the economy. 385 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: You know what's happening with interest rates, and you know 386 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: what's happening on Wall Street.

The more that comes out about what Fauci 408 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: was up to, it is even to me little bit shocking. 409 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: Now these new emails uncovered by the House Republicans probing 410 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic are now revealing the deceptive nature 411 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: of doctor Anthony Fauci. They show that he prompted or 412 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: commissioned and had final approval on a scientific paper written 413 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: specifically in February of twenty twenty to disprove the theory 414 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab in China. 415 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: Eight weeks later, Faucci also stood at the White House 416 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: Press conference alongside Donald Trump incited that paper as evidence 417 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: that the lab week theory was implausible, while pretending it 418 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with him and he did not 419 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: know the authors. He was lying to the American people. Well, sadly, 420 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: we've discovered that doctor Fauci is more than willing to 421 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: lie to the American people, and he did so throughout 422 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: this pandemic. He did so an enormous expense to his 423 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: own integrity, to his own credibility, and an enormous expense 424 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: to the credibility of the scientific and medical community in 425 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: this country, particularly in the government. This particular story was 426 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: broken by Miranda Divine in the New York Post, and 427 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: I got to say, Miranda Divine has done an extraordinary 428 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: job breaking these stories. She's focused aggressively on it. You know, 429 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: when Fauci talked about this paper, he described it as 430 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: a group of quote, highly qualified evolutionary virologist. They looked 431 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: at the sequences in bats as they evolved, the mutations 432 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: that it took to get to the point where it 433 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: is now totally consistent with a jump of species from 434 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: animal to human. So he continues, the paper will be available. 435 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't have the authors right now, but we can 436 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: make it available to you. So he's laying it out 437 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: as this scientific paper. It came out in Nature magazine 438 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: on February seventeenth, twenty twenty, but it was written four 439 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: days after Fauci had held a call with the four 440 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: authors to discuss reports that COVID nineteen may have been 441 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: leaked from Wuhun lab and quote may have been intentionally 442 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: genetically manipulated, and the article. On February twelfth, Anderson, one 443 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: of the authors of the article, submitted the paper to 444 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: Nature Medicine with a cover email, there has been a 445 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of speculation, fairmongering, conspiracies put forth into space. This 446 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: paper was prompted by Jeremy Farah, Tony Fauci, and Francis Collins. 447 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: And Francis Collins was the head of the NIH the 448 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: National Institute for Health. Ferrar was the head of the 449 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: British nonprofit the Welcome Trust, which has deep ties to 450 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical industry and the Gates Foundation and emails. On 451 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: the day the paper was published, Ferrar was pushing through 452 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: a crucial, crucial change. He said the following, this is 453 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: a quote. Sorrow. Sorry to micromanage, micro edit, but would 454 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: you be willing to change one sentence? And his change 455 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: was to replace the word unlikely with the word improbable 456 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: in a statement about the lab leak origin, so it 457 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: would read it is improbable that SARS COVID two emerged 458 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: through laboratory manipulation of an existing Stars related coronavirus. If 459 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: you look at it. Fauci knew what he was doing. 460 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: He prompted the scientist to write the article, and then 461 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: he turns around and holds a press conference says, wow, 462 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: look at this article. I don't know who wrote it, 463 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: who knows, but they seem really credible. And you know what, 464 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: it says the virus didn't come from a Chinese government lab. Now, 465 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: mind you, that was false, and Fouche had all the 466 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: evidence he needed to know it was false. He did 467 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: that in February twenty twenty. Remember this podcast in March 468 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, one month later laid out the facts 469 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: then that I think made it indisputably likely that it 470 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: had escaped from a Chinese government lab. But doctor Fouch 471 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: she didn't like that political story and so was willing 472 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: to essentially fabricate evidence to prompt a scientific study that 473 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: would enable him to turn around and say, gosh, I'm 474 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: just following the science. When I believe he knew he 475 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: was misleading the American people. Yeah, the way he put 476 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: it at that press conference just showed how how shady 477 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: this was. Hey, get me this and then I'll cite 478 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: it like I didn't know about it, Like you guys 479 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: are independent and they're they're literally colluding on this on 480 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: the own. I had a time. And then when he 481 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: brings to the American peoples like I had nothing to 482 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: do with this, just found this independent study and this 483 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: is par for the course. Now, with what we're finding 484 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: out through these investigations, the question is, though, will there 485 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: be any accountability for this? Fauci got paid, he got famous, 486 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: he walked away from our government, being the highest paid 487 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: bureaucrat on our payroll in our government. Do you believe that, 488 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: even with all of this coming out, will there be 489 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: any accountability? Because at this point, I think that's what 490 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: so many Americans want. They just want to know that 491 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: somebody is going to get in trouble for what they 492 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: did to us in this country with COVID lockdowns, etc. So, sadly, 493 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't believe there's going to be any federal criminal liability. 494 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: And the reason is simple. Under our constitution, there's one person, 495 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: and one person only on the face of the planet, 496 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: that can bring federal criminal charges. His name is Merrick Garland. 497 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: He's the Attorney General of the United States. He is, 498 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: as we've talked about on this podcast multiple times, I 499 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: think the most political attorney general this country's ever seen. 500 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: I've asked Merritt Garland repeatedly if he's willing to investigate 501 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci, if he's willing to prosecute Anthony Fauci for 502 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: lying to the Congress, and Merritt Garland has refused to 503 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: give a straight answer to that. As you and I 504 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: said on this podcast at SEPAK last week, Merrick Garland 505 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: might actually rival and even exceed Anthony Fauci for arrogance 506 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: and self satisfied hubris. And that's hard to do. It 507 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: is astonishingly hard to do. Both of them, I think 508 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: have done enormous damage I think there will be accountability 509 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: for Fauci number one in public opinion and public record. 510 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: It's one of the values. What we're trying to do 511 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: in the Senate, what we're trying to do in this podcast, 512 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: what the House majority is doing with its subpoena power 513 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: and its investigation sunlight is powerful. More and more people 514 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 1: are learning that Anthony Foul was a liar. But he 515 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: wasn't just a liar. He was a deliberate liar. He 516 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: knew he was lying. He was willing to put politics 517 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: above science and medicine. And on the left, you know, 518 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: the left lives so often. And by the left, I 519 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: mean democrats, I mean the bureaucratic estate of the regulators 520 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: in our government, and I mean the media, the corporate media, 521 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: that they live in a fact free environment where they 522 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: have a narrative, they tell facts that they tell a 523 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: story in the facts don't matter. And we now know 524 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: not one but two agencies in the Biden administration admit 525 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: what was obvious three years ago, which is that COVID 526 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: likely escaped from a Chinese government lab. At this point, 527 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: the Biden Department of Energy has concluded that, and the 528 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: Biden FBI has concluded that, and that means when Fauci 529 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: was teeing up these quote scientific articles, he was deliberately 530 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: creating materials that were deceptive and the American people ought 531 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: to be really ticked off. Why was Tony Fauci trying 532 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: to cover up for communist China and for its culpability 533 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: in this pandemic? Yeah, no doubt about it. And more 534 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: this is coming out. We'll keep you updated on what 535 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: is found.

Finally, Senator, I 537 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about January the sixth, and these tapes 538 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: have come out, They are being broadcast, the footage is 539 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: being looked at the leadership of the Republican Party and 540 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: in the Senate side, Mitch McConnell's saying he doesn't really 541 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: like how this is going down, and I want to 542 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: get your reaction that.

Senator, January the sixth, 565 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of fodder. I've said this, you 566 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: and I've talked about this. If you were attacking police, 567 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: you deserve to be arresting, go to jail. If you're 568 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: breaking down windows, you deserved to be arrested and go 569 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: to jail. But there's a lot of tape that's now 570 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: coming out and it's nothing like nine to eleven, which 571 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: Democrats have said that it was like that day. And 572 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: now we're finding out about the lives of the January 573 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: sixth committee, where apparently they were altering sound, they were 574 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: altering tape. The man who led that committee, Benny Thompson, 575 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: was asked about this earlier by a reporter Carry Pickett 576 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: at the Washington Times. This is what was said in 577 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: the back and forth presentation that came out last night, 578 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: calling generous sixth stink Washington Times. I just thought this 579 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: calling the generous six selectimitty liars. So you guys selectively 580 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: edited the tapes, said that you guys pretty much to 581 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, particularly the way you guys it out, selectively 582 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: edited clips, put in sound that didn't exist from the 583 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: producers from the from NBC. That tell me, I just 584 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: told you it's not true. Well, then that's not true, okay. 585 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: Senator Hally theah clipped with him running by himself when 586 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: the fact that there are a whole bunch of senators 587 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,240 Speaker 1: who are actually running out together. When he was mocked. 588 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: Is that true or is that not true? Senator Hally 589 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: running by himself when he was running with a whole 590 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: bunch of other senators. He was running with a whole 591 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: bunch of their senators though he was running with a 592 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: whole bunch of other senators. What about Jacob Chancelly, he 593 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: was he was completely peaceful. Thank you, sir. I don't 594 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: know him. Senator, this is the guy ran the January 595 00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: sixth Committee. He's saying, we didn't change any video except 596 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: when you see the raw video. It's very clear that 597 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: the January sixth Committee, who hired TV executives to producers 598 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: to come run their hearings, they edited the hell out 599 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: of these tapes and put things up there that just 600 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: didn't happen. The January sixth Committee in the House of 601 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: Representatives was a kangaroo court. It was designed to be 602 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: a political circus. Nancy Pelosi structured it so it had 603 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: only Democrats and two Republicans who would go along with 604 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats on everything. When Republicans wanted to put real 605 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: Republicans who would stand up and actually cross examine witnesses, 606 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: actually try to get to the facts of what happened. 607 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: Pelosi said nope, nope, we don't want any cross examination, 608 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: We don't want any facts. This is a political circus. So, 609 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: for example, Kevin McCarthy wanted to put Jim Jordan on. 610 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan would have questioned the hell at every one 611 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: of those witnesses. Nancy Pelosi said, oh, no, no, no, 612 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: our witnesses can't handle questioning. No, no, no no, we don't 613 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: want him there. You know, an ordinary congressional committee, you 614 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: have a roughly equal member of a number of members 615 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: from both sides, which means every witness that comes before 616 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: them gets questioned by both sides. And there's a virtue 617 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: to the give and take of a hearing if you 618 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: think about it, a criminal trial. A criminal trial would 619 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: be very different if the prosecution were the only people 620 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: allowed to talk, Like if the defense lawyer didn't get 621 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: to speak, you just had the prosecution present evidence. You 622 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: know what, just about everyone would get convicted. It would 623 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: take a terrible prosecutor who couldn't convict if the defense 624 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: lawyer wasn't allowed to talk, wasn't allowed to question witnesses. 625 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: That's what Nancy Pelosi did with a January sixth committee. 626 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: She basically set up it was and you mentioned they 627 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: hired a Hollywood producer, a producer from Good Morning America 628 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: to put on a political infomercial, and the infomercial was 629 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: designed to tell one worry about January sixth. That was 630 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: deliberately one sided. And so I'm very glad Kevin McCarthy 631 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: has handed the footage over from January sixth over to 632 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson his show that he put out this week 633 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: where he went through that video and he showed a 634 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: lot of portions of video that were totally different from 635 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: what that kangaroo court put out. And I think it's 636 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: important for the American people to know what happened. As 637 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: you said a minute ago, Ben, anyone on January sixth 638 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: who committed a crime of violence, anyone who assaulted a 639 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: police officer, that person should be prosecuted and go to jail. 640 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: You don't get to commit a crime of violence, whether 641 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: I agree with your politics or I don't. Violence is 642 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: a crime and you should go to jail. But anyone 643 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: who engaged in peaceful protests who simply spoke what they believed. 644 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: There were thousands upon thousands of peaceful protesters there on 645 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: January sixth who didn't violate the law, they exercised their 646 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: First Amendment rights, and for two years we've seen democrats 647 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: and the corporate media cynically trying to paint those little 648 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: old ladies waiving American flags and singing God Bless America 649 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: with the action of a much smaller number of individuals 650 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: who committed crimes of violence, and so releasing this video 651 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: is really powerful to show. As you've played in that 652 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: exchange with a Washington Times reporter, the January sixth Committee 653 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: released a video and then added a soundtrack. It's like 654 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: a sitcom, adding the laugh track. They added noise that's 655 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: not in the video. Why because it made really good TV. Wow, 656 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: it sounded scary. They put a lot of scary noise there, 657 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,959 Speaker 1: so that must have been what it was like. And 658 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: my hope is that this video gets reviewed and gets 659 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: made available to the public. I hope much more widely 660 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: than Tucker Carlson. I'm glad Tucker is making it available, 661 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: but I think it ought to be available more widely 662 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: so we can get a true and accurate picture of 663 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: what happened. Those that committed crimes of violence can be 664 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: held accountable, but those who are being persecuted for their 665 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: political views, which is what the Biden administration can do. 666 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: They can be exonerated, and this video is powerful on 667 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: both fronts. You mentioned the other day and you asked 668 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: the question of the FBI about Ray Epps specifically, and 669 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: I think we should go back to that because one 670 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: of the things that Tuger Carlson focused on on his 671 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: second show was Ray Epps. Here's thirty five seconds of 672 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: what he showed in these videos that many people have 673 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: never seen about Ray Epps, who you asked about the FBI. 674 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: Listen to this tonight. We can tell you that at 675 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: the very least, Ray Epps live. In his sworn testimony 676 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: to the January sixth Committee, Epps testified that when he 677 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 1: sent the text messages to his nephew, he had already 678 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: left the Capitol grounds to return to his hotel room. 679 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: That is not true. The surveillance footage we found shows that, 680 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: in fact, Ray Epps remained at the Capitol for at 681 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: least another half an hour. You're seeing that on your screen. Now, 682 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: what was Epps doing there? We can't say, but we 683 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: do know that he lied to investigators. The January sixth 684 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: Committee likely knew this too. Democrats had access to the 685 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: same teape, yet they defended Ray Epps. No honest investigation 686 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: would do that. But the point of the January sixth 687 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: committee was never to investigate anything. The point was the 688 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: stage of made for TV show trial. I mean, we 689 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: see that time stamp. You see that Ray absolutely slied 690 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: about this. Have you still and is there any chance 691 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: that we're going to get a straight answer on who 692 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: the hell Ray Apps is? And is he an informant? 693 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: Was he put there by the FBI well sadly from 694 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,919 Speaker 1: the Biden Justice Department, from the Biden FBI? I think 695 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: the chances are very slim. I would encourage podcast listeners 696 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 1: go back and google a podcast we did a long 697 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: time ago that is entitled who is Ray Epps? And 698 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: we devoted an entire episode of Verdict to that question. 699 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: And it followed a Judiciary Committee hearing in which I 700 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: was questioning senior officials from the Department of Justice and 701 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: from the FBI, and I asked them about how many 702 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: undercover agents they had at the protest on January sixth. 703 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: They refused to answer how many of them? Did any 704 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 1: of them engage in acts of violence? They refused to answer, 705 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: did any of them encourage or incite others to engage 706 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: in acts of violence. They refuse to answer. If you 707 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: look at ray Epps his behavior at the time, where 708 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: he's urging people, we must go into the capital. Not 709 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: just to the capital, we must go into the capitol. 710 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 1: It's really quite remarkable. You watch the video, the crowd 711 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,720 Speaker 1: starts chanting at ray Epps, fed fed fed. The crowd 712 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: believes he is working for the federal government. And I 713 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: get to say, the lack of willingness to answer those 714 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: questions from the Biden administration is incredibly troubling. Look, if 715 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: someone commits a violent crime, they should be prosecuted. But 716 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 1: there's an exception to that, which is if the federal 717 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: government incites that crime, if the federal government entraps someone. 718 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: In other words, an undercover cop can't come to your 719 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 1: house and say, hey, Ben, have you looked down the street. 720 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: There's a liquor store there. Maybe we had to go 721 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: knock off the liquor store. What are you thinking. You're like, oh, 722 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really need to come on, man, 723 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: we can do it. We can do it. And if 724 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: you go knock off the liquor store, you know what, 725 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: at your criminal prosecution, you can raise a defensive and 726 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 1: trapman and say, wait a second, it was law enforcement 727 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: who came up with the idea. It was law enforcement 728 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: encouraged me to do it. I wouldn't have done it. 729 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 1: I was sitting at home recording a podcast until suddenly 730 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: someone knocked on my door and said, let's go knock 731 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: off a liquor store. The government can't do that. And 732 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: so the question on January sixth, one of them most 733 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: important questions, is to one extent, did federal law enforcement 734 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: insight and entrap people into criminal violations? And the fact 735 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: that Tucker has aired what appears to be video contradicting 736 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: ray Epps's testimony that raises serious questions. And it's amazing 737 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: the Democrats on the January sixth committee when ask about Yapps, 738 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 1: they hate every single person who was at January sixth. 739 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: They're all evil, horrific insurrectionists except Ray Apps. And they 740 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: defend him like crazy, which I got to admit, when 741 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: you have hardcore partisans defending someone, that certainly raises some questions. 742 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: Why are they defending him? And to be quit, Ray 743 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: Apps has never been charged with any crimes, Absolutely true, 744 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe there is an explanation. But 745 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: on the face of it, so there's another video where 746 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: he's in the crowd. He whispers in a guy's ear, 747 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: and seconds later the guy starts tearing down the barricades 748 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: to go into the Capitol. That conduct appears to be 749 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: encouraging him to violate the law. We don't know what 750 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: he whispered, but the fact that the FBI won't answer 751 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: that question and listen, I get it as a general matter, 752 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: your dad was in law enforcement for a long time. 753 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: As a general matter, you send in an undercover cop, 754 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,479 Speaker 1: you don't admit who the undercover cop is, you don't 755 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 1: admit what he's done. And by the way, undercover policing 756 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: is a legitimate form of law enforcement. January sixth was 757 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: not a typical day. I don't think that's hyperbole to 758 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: say the Democrats and the Biden administration have suggested it 759 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: was a national tragedy on the order of nine to 760 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: eleven and Pearl Harbor. If they are going to maintain 761 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: that's the case, the American people deserve to know what 762 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: actually happened that day, and they need deserve to know 763 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 1: what the precise level of culpability the federal government bears 764 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: in the criminal conduct on that day, and yet the 765 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI remain dug in and 766 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 1: animately opposed to any accountability. The FBI could answer this question, 767 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: they refuse to, and it's because they ultimately don't think 768 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: the public has a right to know. I think that's 769 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: represents a grotesque disrespect for the American people, no doubt 770 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: about it. This may be one of my favorite podcasts 771 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: we've ever done Center because we got to cover so 772 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: much tonight.
