I think we both still 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: have questions while the suspect is in custody, at least 43 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: for me, I'll speak for myself. I still have some 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: questions about the process and the ongoing investigation. 45 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: David, Yeah, of. 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 5: Course, there's tons of questions.

I mean, all the 48 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 5: discord chats, and look, Cash is going to get a 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 5: grilling today, we know from Democrats. The question is how 50 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 5: many Republicans are going to drill him too? You know, 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 5: he obviously came out and said that the suspect, the 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 5: original suspect that was later let go, was never a suspect. 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 5: He said, the suspect has been caught, basically and then said, oh, 54 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 5: never mind, Actually we're not He's. 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: Not the suspect. 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 5: And so I think you know that that's going to 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 5: come under a lot of consternation today on the hill. 58 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 59 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 6: You know, sometimes you can get such great perspective when 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 6: you talk to friends from other countries from the outside 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 6: looking in. And I was talking to a friend from 62 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 6: another country and they said, do you think you're ever 63 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 6: going to really know what happened? Because, of course John 64 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 6: Solovan mentioned on this show at the very beginning, foreign 65 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 6: government involvement, other things. 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: We're not hearing any follow up on that. 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 6: And this friend of mine from another country said that 68 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 6: to me, and he said, well, because I mean, do 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 6: you guys really know that much about what happened in Butler, 70 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 6: Pennsylvania when the presidents was attempted to assassinate it so 71 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 6: it was I know I just said that all wrong, 72 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 6: but you know what I'm trying to say. We still 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 6: really don't know what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania. So will 74 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 6: we ever have all the answers? And sometimes we have 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 6: to turn to a different place to get the answers 76 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 6: that matter, don't we tea Ooh. 77 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: That's a doctor, Gina, thank you for the softball. That's 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: a great setup for our Bible verse. I suspect the 79 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: different place you meant for those answers was up above. 80 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: So would you give us our Bible verse? 81 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 7: Pa? 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 8: Yes? 83 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, Sometimes it's all we've got Terrence, and I think 84 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 6: we have to go to it. And from tewod Corinthians 85 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 6: Today three seventeen through eighteen. Now the Lord is the Spirit, 86 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 6: and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. 87 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: But we all with. 88 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 6: Unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of 89 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 6: the Lord, are being transformed into the same image, from 90 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 6: glory to glory, just as by the spirit of the Lord. 91 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 6: I love that one. Second Corinthians three seventeen thirteen. It's 92 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 6: not the one that Corinthians is famous for, but it 93 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 6: certainly is a beautiful and hard hitting one. During the 94 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 6: first show since Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD. Vance 95 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 6: took the microphone for his friend. 96 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 9: Listen and filling in for somebody who cannot be filled 97 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 9: in for.

The last several 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 9: days have been extremely hard for our country. They've been 100 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 9: hard for me, hard for my family, hard for the 101 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 9: countless people in this building who knew and. 102 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 8: Loved Charlie Kirk. 103 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 9: And of course they've been hardest most of all for 104 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 9: his darling wife, Erica, and their two beautiful children. The 105 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 9: thing is, every single person into this building we owe 106 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 9: something to Charlie. He was a joyful warrior for our country. 107 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 9: He loved America. He devoted himself tirelessly to making our 108 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 9: country a better place. 109 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 10: He was a critical part. 110 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 9: Of getting Donald Trump elected as president, getting me elected 111 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 9: as vice president, and so much of our success over 112 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 9: the last seven months is due to his efforts, his staffing, 113 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 9: his support, and his friendship. I don't think that I'm 114 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 9: alone in saying that Charlie was the smartest political operative 115 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 9: I ever met. 116 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 6: Or let's bring in Wisconsin Congressman Tony Wheat, Congressman face 117 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 6: for being here today.

They are hearing from their own children. 119 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 6: For example, Congressman, I don't want you in politics anymore. 120 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 6: I've heard this from several friends of mine in media 121 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 6: and politics alike. How do we go forward when you 122 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 6: know conors mean you've got to go back to your district. 123 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 6: You can't just have bulletproof glass and a whole security 124 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 6: team and sharpshooters on roofs. 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 4: How do we go back? What are we going to 126 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 4: do about this? 127 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 11: Well, thank you for having me, and I appreciate you 128 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 11: reading the Bible verse here this morning. I think we 129 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 11: need to make sure that God is in our lives 130 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 11: and certainly our creators, you know, are the founders of 131 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 11: our country. I mean, you know know that, you know, 132 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 11: our rights come from our creator, not from the government. 133 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 11: No question that we need to turn down the temperature 134 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 11: in this country. There is no place for political violence 135 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 11: at all. But what I've heard from people of all ages, 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 11: but especially the young in their twenties and even thirties, 137 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 11: those in universities that really were touched by Charlie Kirk 138 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 11: in one way, shape or form. I heard from a 139 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 11: young man that said, look, I started going back to church. 140 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 11: Uh in listening to Charlie Kirk, and I think what 141 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 11: what he brought was an authenticity. Uh you you didn't 142 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 11: agree with everything that he said. I mean, he didn't 143 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 11: even agree with universities, but he was on universities talking 144 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 11: and connecting with kids and and the youth. And I 145 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 11: think the best part about Charlie was he liked talking 146 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 11: to people that he didn't just that he didn't agree with. 147 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 11: And felt that if we stopped talking, if if we 148 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 11: stop having, you know, a good debate and passionate debate, 149 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 11: that's when a civil war, that's that's that's when problems arise. 150 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 11: And and I feel like he's just been such a 151 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 11: good mentor for for so many people. And it certainly 152 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 11: is a difficult time, but it is also a turning point, 153 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 11: and I think people will rise up. I'm seeing un 154 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 11: a lot of people are you know, very passionate about 155 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 11: what they believe in, and and uh, you know, I 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 11: feel convicted and and very fortunate to be in the 157 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 11: position I'm in and representing people in Wisconsin State District. 158 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 11: And we're going to continue to move strong in a 159 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 11: for direction. 160 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 5: Well, Congressman, you say it's a turning point. I agree, 161 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 5: it's a turning point with conservatives. The question is is 162 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 5: it a turning point on the other side and will 163 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 5: they heed that call to stop calling Trump Hitler and 164 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 5: all that type of nonsense. 165 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: You right in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 166 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 5: The upbed here that says spirited policy debates should end 167 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 5: with handshakes, not hatred. 168 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: And you mentioned that since becoming a. 169 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 5: Member of Congress, there have been threats made against your staff, yourself, 170 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 5: your family. Talk about that a little bit, and really 171 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 5: to the essence of the question, how are we supposed 172 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 5: to have unity with people that have no desire for unity? 173 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 11: Well, since my short time in politics, I was a 174 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 11: small business owner, my wife and. 175 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 12: I for thirty years. 176 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 11: But what I've seen, and really what you know, I 177 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 11: think is the kind of that radical far left leadership. 178 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 11: I think that's hijacked the Democrat Party that continues to 179 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 11: call President Trump hitler or Mussolini, or saying he's a 180 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 11: threat to democracy, he's a king, he must be stopped. 181 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 11: You know that rhetoric, and that's echoed by the media 182 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 11: that's local in northeast Wisconsin all the way to national media. 183 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 11: That is provoking people I would fake and really that's 184 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 11: the hatred. I see that in folks that maybe disagree 185 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 11: with me or didn't vote with me, and I think 186 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 11: that's really unfortunate. I think we ought to have and 187 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 11: be able to have a passionate debate. 188 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: We're not going to agree. 189 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 11: It's a free country, but you should be able to 190 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 11: end with a handshake, and I'm going to continue to 191 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 11: do that. I did that through my campaign. I think 192 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 11: be respectful towards people, Speaker Johnson said, we should. You know, 193 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 11: the first day we were here. You get to know 194 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 11: those on the other side of the aisle, get to 195 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 11: know their children's names. If they have them, you won't 196 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 11: hate them. And I think that's really important that we 197 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 11: have good passionate debate. May not agree on things, but 198 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 11: end with a handshake, and really everyone's trying to I 199 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 11: think do the right thing for the most part, but 200 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 11: we may have a different way of getting But it 201 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 11: is important that you know that far left radical rhetoric 202 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 11: has to stop. 203 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: Congressman, I appreciate your perspective. Unfortunately, it can be challenging 204 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: to reason with unreasonable people, But we'll. 205 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Just leave the conversation there. 206 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: I want to bring your attention to this headline, which 207 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: reads House GOPI stopgap into November to avert a government 208 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: shut down. 209 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: The reports say that it's. 210 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: Going to largely be a clean cr with funding through 211 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: November twentieth. 212 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask you a several prong questions. 213 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: First of all, is a continuing resolutionary foregone conclusion? Is 214 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: that what you see happening? Secondly, do you see this 215 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: going through November twentieth? Is it going to be a 216 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: fairly short term thing? Or do you see it longer term? 217 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: And then finally, and I know this is a lot 218 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: I'm putting on your plate, but I think all of 219 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 2: these are important questions to the same issue. When are 220 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: you and your colleagues going to get down to discussions 221 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 2: about actually passing the appropriations bills and not continuing to 222 00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: kick the can down the road. 223 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 11: Well, in a perfect world, we ought to have single 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 11: subjects spending bills and get back to regular order. And 225 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 11: Speaker Johnson talks about getting back to regular order all 226 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 11: the time. It's obviously I haven't seen the text. I 227 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 11: haven't seen what's what's going to happen or be presented. 228 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 11: It does seem that, you know, a short term. I'm 229 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 11: hearing that a short term into November. I'm certainly the 230 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 11: President would like to see one out, probably PA, you know, 231 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 11: through the first of the calendar year. But you know, 232 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 11: I think right now, you know it's our it's our 233 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 11: efforts is to keep the government open. I think Democrats 234 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 11: are going to try to shut it down, but I 235 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 11: would like to see us get back to regular order. 236 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 11: Against Speaker would as well, and I think that's the 237 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 11: right approach. And we need to keep pushing for fiscal responsibility. 238 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 11: I have no question we have a Congress has an 239 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 11: addiction to spending. We need to cut back on discretionary 240 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 11: spending and or we're going to continue to go off 241 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 11: a fiscal cliff. 242 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 6: Astin Weed.

And there's a few other spots 327 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 14: across the country where we've had these tropical like rainfall accumulations. 328 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 14: So we're tracking a few systems, one out across the plains. 329 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 14: But this coastal low that's going to impact the mid Atlantic. 330 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 14: You're expecting three to five inches of rain to stack 331 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 14: up over the next forty eight hours, So it's slowly 332 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 14: going to be pushing on shore, bringing in breezy winds, 333 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 14: coastal flooding, and then even the potential for some inland flooding, 334 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 14: so that's a hot spot that we're going to be 335 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 14: watching here throughout the day. But coast to coast temperatures 336 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 14: for most of us trending on the warm side, trending 337 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 14: well above average, most of US ten to fifteen degrees 338 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 14: warmer than average, even La ninety one degrees and areas 339 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 14: like La. You haven't had rain since the start of June, 340 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 14: but we do have some tropical moisture that's heading our 341 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 14: way as well, so expect some showers by mid to 342 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 14: end of the week as those temperatures do cool down. So, Terrence, 343 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 14: that's some much needed rain for the West Coast. 344 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Tracy, appreciate it. We'll check in with you a 345 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: little bit later. 346 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. 347 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 2: Sounds up next, Charlie Kirk's funeral is set for this Sunday, 348 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: But what will his final legacy be. We'll take a 349 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: look shortly, but first a quick look at this day 350 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: in history. 351 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 3: Sucking to me. 352 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: It was on this date in nineteen sixty eight that 353 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: President Richard Nixon appeared on Rowan and Martin's laugh In, 354 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: which was an influential comedy show that brought counterculture to 355 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: America's living rooms. It was, in many ways the blueprint 356 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: for Saturday Night Live. Nixon's appearance was a calculated move 357 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: to humanize the stiff public image that Nixon enjoyed, which 358 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 2: of course, had suffered after his nineteen sixty televised debate 359 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: against John F. 360 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Kennedy. The campaign hoped to make him. 361 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: More relatable to younger voters who followed the countercultural show. 362 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: The show, by the way, had been mocking Nixon for months, 363 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: labeling him as the man Never laughs. His willingness to 364 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: appear and participate in the show's humor was meant to 365 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 2: prove the label wrong and to show that he could 366 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: actually be a good sport. 367 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: More American Sunrise coming your way, just. 368 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 15: The moments, Welcome back to American Sunrise. Charlie Kirk's tremendous 369 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 15: devotion to his Christian faith as inspiring Americans young and 370 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 15: old to read the Bible, pray, and even attend church services. 371 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 15: Many faith leaders develop personal friendships and connections with Charlie, 372 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 15: including Catholics for Catholics, President and friends of the show. 373 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 15: Here at American Sunrise, John Yep. John and Charlie grew 374 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 15: up a few blocks away from each other near Chicago. 375 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 15: He is here with us now on American Sunrise to 376 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 15: discuss further. John, thank you so much for joining us. 377 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 15: What can you tell us about Charlie's faith and spirituality? 378 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 15: I know the two of you spoke often about where 379 00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 15: he was on that journ. 380 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 16: Well, it's eight o'clock over there on the East coast, 381 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 16: And if you were a friend at Charlie's and he 382 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 16: was still lie, you'd already have a text message on 383 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 16: your film with a scripture code for the day. That's 384 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 16: how he that's how he rolled. He woke up, he 385 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 16: was up early, and he made prayer priority. I would 386 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 16: see him at church oftentimes and we kind of fits 387 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 16: bump on our way up to our different offices, right, 388 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 16: and then you know it was off of the races. 389 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 16: So Charlie was someone who definitely was moved. The political junkie, 390 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 16: if you call him at or is very volid and 391 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 16: trying to change our country. But first and foremost, he 392 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 16: loved his family and he loved his Lord. 393 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, Hey, John, Behind behind the headlines, there's 394 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: real grief obviously tonight, or we should say, we're really 395 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 5: asking the question that few have the courage to ask. 396 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: Which is how are you doing this is obviously very 397 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 5: difficult for you. 398 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 17: You know, what's going to help a lot. 399 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 16: Obviously we're more to the death of a friend, you know, 400 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 16: it's it's a brother in arms, like you're you're in 401 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 16: this business. He tied into a certain that It sounds 402 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 16: crazy to say this, but given the temperature out there, 403 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 16: you have to be willing to risk at all. Charlie 404 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 16: was that we trade off text on that very subject 405 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 16: of quote martyrdom, which literally just means witness win is 406 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 16: for what you believe in to the point of death right. 407 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 16: But you know it would help a lot, so much. 408 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 17: We've got to get justice. 409 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 16: Yes there's maybe one killer, but the details are foggy, 410 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 16: and I think people are really itching for the Department 411 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 16: of Justice up. 412 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 17: You had to get to the bottom of this and quickly. 413 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 6: That would help so much, you know, John, we're all 414 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 6: so united as believers that in what a great testimony, right, 415 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk's whole entire life was certainly and so the 416 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 6: last thing I want to do is bring up any division. 417 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 4: But and I'm not I'm doing exactly. 418 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 6: The opposite here because one of the things that I 419 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 6: love that Charlie said, I went to Catholic schools all 420 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 6: the way through. I'm not Catholic. But one of the 421 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 6: things I love that Charlie said was he talked a 422 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 6: lot about how sometimes perhaps Christians in general who are 423 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 6: not Catholic have maybe not given enough credence to Mary's 424 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 6: role as this selfless, completely submitted mother of Christ that 425 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 6: she was, and that is that has always been a 426 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 6: bone of contention between Catholics and non Catholics. I've dealt 427 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: with this my whole life, because I know, you know, 428 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 6: a lot of us don't believe in icons Catholics very 429 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 6: much do the rest of it. But putting all that 430 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 6: aside and just talking about Mary as a woman, because 431 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 6: Charlie was so adamant about the family, about the woman's 432 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 6: role in the marriage, about the man's important role. 433 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: In the marriage. Tell us what he said to you 434 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 4: about that. 435 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 16: We literally traded up messages precisely on that, the role 436 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 16: of Mary and the reverence to her. 437 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 17: And you know, the. 438 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 16: Church that he went to, there's a big old grotto 439 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 16: commemorating the apparition of Lords and Mary, a pair to 440 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 16: Lords Frances and hundreds of miracles. Right, so he saw 441 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 16: that every day he saw the local Catholics gathering there 442 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 16: before church six am, praying to Rose for that devotion, 443 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 16: which we see this as a way to get closer 444 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 16: to Christ. 445 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 8: Right. 446 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 16: So but either way, even if you're not there you 447 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 16: don't believe in that, that's okay because the Charlie thing 448 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 16: to do would be precisely this. He talked about it. 449 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 16: Roll on and continue waving that same American flag. And 450 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 16: that's what we're here today celebrate with Charlie. 451 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 15: Absolutely, John. You know, Charlie, he wasn't just a commentator. 452 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 15: He wasn't just an extraordinarily faith filled man. I mean 453 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 15: he built a movement with Turning Point USA. Where do 454 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 15: you see his legacy going. I mean, where do you 455 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 15: see the organization going from here? 456 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 16: And that's I'm glad you brought up the work element too, 457 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 16: because you know, we weren't just we didn't have a relationship, 458 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 16: but just based on faith, right, it was bound to action. 459 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 16: That's how Charlie again, he was wired that way. One 460 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 16: of the things that just got him the most was 461 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 16: when pastors who had this platform to speak the truth 462 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 16: just didn't do it for the cowardice or whatever. 463 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 17: But he saw faith as then you brought into action. 464 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 16: That's why we were Turning Points partner during the ballot 465 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 16: chasing operation of twenty twenty four. Turning Point has got 466 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 16: a great feature, thirty two thousand new groups right for 467 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 16: the chapters that they've announced. Presdent Trump's of it yesterday. 468 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 16: That's an amazing turnout and it's just the beginning of 469 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 16: the movement. 470 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 5: John, You're a Catholic leader. Obviously in a moment of 471 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: intense anger. 472 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 12: And loss your faith. 473 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 5: Our faith does call us to forgive, to turn the 474 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 5: other cheek. The context is everything, though, how do you 475 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 5: square that with the It's not just rage. I think 476 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 5: it's anger in all different sorts of levels that many 477 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: of us feel. 478 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: And what does that look like? 479 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, this idea of just forgiving the 480 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 5: person that took Charlie's life, whether it be it's Erica, 481 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 5: Erica Kirk has to deal with or many of us 482 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 5: have to kind of think through. 483 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 12: Go ahead. 484 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 16: There's two extremes here, you know, we in the Scholastic 485 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 16: teach it very so well. 486 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 17: There's holy anger right to singer. 487 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 16: Then there's anger which arouses from sin one is divorced 488 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 16: from reason. You know, we absolutely must have that healthy 489 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 16: holy passion, because the opposite Charlie wouldn't want that right, 490 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 16: so not rage. 491 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 17: We absolutely forgive him. 492 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 16: That's the strength of christendom right, our ability to forgive 493 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 16: it and remove hatred from her heart. But yet that 494 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 16: holy passion to find justice that's so necessary today's world. 495 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 16: We need more of that, and that's why tonight will 496 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 16: be at turning point organizing in a massive prayer rally 497 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 16: to keep people on that focus of forgiveness again focused 498 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 16: on saving America. 499 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 6: One of the interesting things, John, was that Charlie didn't 500 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,239 Speaker 6: let himself get tripped up in squibbles over denominations. This 501 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 6: is pretty much, at least as I read the Bible, 502 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 6: I'm certainly not a pastor what God calls us to. 503 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 6: He kept the Sabbath. He's got a whole book coming 504 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 6: out on it. We're going to talk about that later. 505 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 6: As you mentioned, he had attended Catholic church from time 506 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 6: to time with his wife, but he was a devout 507 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 6: Christian in his own right, had chosen his own denomination. 508 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 4: What do you see that we can. 509 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 6: Take away from Charlie's almost burning curiosity about exploring every 510 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 6: faith and coming to his own conclusions. 511 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 17: His passion for the Word of God. 512 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 16: I mean even though, like I just said, the scripture 513 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 16: quotes that he would say, and it was just like 514 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 16: a morandum thing would open up a patient. 515 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 17: And send it to my friends and come off all 516 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 17: pious and all that. 517 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 16: Right, it was like that that quote he would get 518 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 16: into like you would understand the context. Why does Saint 519 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 16: Paul write this in this moment he lived and breathe 520 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 16: the Word of God. If we go to the scriptures, 521 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 16: we will find everything because it all everything We all 522 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 16: of our traditions source from there, right, So I would 523 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 16: take that from Charlie. Let the Word of God be 524 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 16: truly what feeds you in your day lives no joke 525 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 16: for real. 526 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 10: John, guys, we understand. 527 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 8: Go ahead, Evan, please go. 528 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 15: I was just gonna say, I understand that you are 529 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 15: going to be there at Charlie's funeral on Sunday. 530 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: Just want to say that we are. 531 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 15: We are praying for you, and thank you so much 532 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 15: for joining our show this morning.

Still ahead, is the left obsession with so 547 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 15: called social justice just really a cover for controlled narcissism 548 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 15: and violence.

Left wing extremism linked 555 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 6: to psychopathy and narcissism. A bombshell study revealed that left 556 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 6: wing extremists the same crowd of radical activists to riot, 557 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 6: shut down speech, set things on fire, attack police, all 558 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 6: the rest are linked to dark personality traits some in 559 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 6: the dark tetrad if you're familiar, like narcissism and psychopathy. 560 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 6: This according to a study published in the peer viewed 561 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 6: journal called Current Psychology. Researchers surveyed hundreds of Americans found 562 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 6: that for violence against traditional institutions was not driven by 563 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 6: altruism or justice, but actually by egotism, anger, and personal gain. 564 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 6: While the media often smears conservatives as selfish, snarcissistic, or authoritarian, 565 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 6: this study confirms that much of the violence actually comes 566 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 6: from the radical left, hiding behind the language of social 567 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 6: justice to push their. 568 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 4: Own power and control. 569 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 6: Remains to be seen if the alleged assassin of Charlie 570 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 6: Kirk fits into this category, but doesn't take a rocket scientist, 571 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 6: Let's just say that new administration in Washington, DC has 572 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 6: brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to 573 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 6: fixing our broken healthcare system. 574 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 4: But there's only so much government can do. 575 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 6: If we really want to make America healthy again, it's 576 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 6: going to start at home with each of us.

Doctor Kelly Victory, she's Chief of 596 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 6: Disaster and Emergency Medicine for the Wellness Company. Welcome to 597 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 6: the show, Doctor Victory. Victor Victory. I don't know why 598 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 6: I can't say your name today. This has been a 599 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 6: rough couple of days. 600 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 4: Maybe that's why, because I think we're all a little 601 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 4: sleep deprived. 602 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 6: All of us still reeling from the assassination of Charlie 603 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 6: Kirk during the pandemic. Charlie was one of those I remember, 604 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 6: with very few others many on rav who were brave 605 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 6: enough to have dissenting doctors on our shows to talk 606 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 6: about early treatment of COVID and the dangers of the vaccine. 607 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 6: It's good that we had his voice in this, and 608 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 6: it's hard to measure what impact it have had, but 609 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 6: tell us what it means to you that Charlie and 610 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 6: others were taking the lead asking questions that our medical 611 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 6: community wasn't asking. 612 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 4: On the by and large, well. 613 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 17: Thanks for having me. 614 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 7: As always, Gina, Like all of you, I am deeply 615 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 7: saddened by the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk. He was 616 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 7: a friend. I'd known him since he was eighteen. He 617 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 7: was an absolute titan of courage and truth. 618 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 10: He had a. 619 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 7: Remarkable way of communicating and connecting with people, particularly young people, 620 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 7: and as you said, he was not afraid to push 621 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 7: alternate narratives or to ask the tough questions. That's really 622 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 7: what Charlie did. I think he asked questions and he 623 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 7: let the answers fall where they may. If people left 624 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 7: his microphone feeling silly or embarrassed. It's largely be because 625 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 7: Charlie was able to point out the fallacies or the 626 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 7: flaws in their arguments. When it came to COVID. He 627 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 7: was willing to then explore things that were not being 628 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 7: said in the mainstream. He'd never shied away from something 629 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 7: that may have been unpopular or may have really upset 630 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 7: the apple cart when it came to the traditional narrative. 631 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 7: And we've lost that voice. Hopefully, as you've heard from 632 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 7: so many other people over these last days, that void 633 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 7: will be filled now with a mighty throng of others. 634 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 7: He awakened so many people, I think, in this country 635 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 7: to what's been going on with our media, the loss 636 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 7: of God and family and the importance of returning that 637 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 7: it pains me terribly as I watch the abhorrent posts 638 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 7: people reveling in his death, the truly satanic or demonic 639 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 7: nature of some people, a small, hopefully faction of this 640 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 7: country and of this world, who take glee in the 641 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 7: death or suffering from others. I think it's important that 642 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 7: we point this out, that we don't simply ignore it, 643 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 7: and that there is a social price to pay for 644 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 7: that sort of behavior. We never meet violence with violence, 645 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 7: but there has to be a social price to pay 646 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 7: when you are acting in a way that is inconsistent 647 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 7: with civil society. 648 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 6: Have we entered a new and dangerous era? Is left 649 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 6: wing violence against anyone who disagrees now just a function 650 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 6: of our country in a reality, something we have to 651 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 6: live with every day. 652 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 7: Well, unfortunately, I don't think it's going away anytime soon. 653 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 7: I don't think of it as just quote left wing. 654 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 7: I think, unfortunately, we have a portion of the population 655 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 7: that is that is unstable, unhinged. I will address the 656 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 7: elephant in the room. Look, we have a number of 657 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 7: recent violent attacks, whether it's you know, the church shooting, 658 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 7: the recent shooting in Colorado, over and over again, that 659 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 7: are perpetrated by people who are not socially stable. There's 660 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 7: a reason why, you know, trans people are over represented 661 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 7: in this group. There's no question that in the trans 662 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 7: community we have a disproportionate number of people who have 663 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 7: been diagnosed with autism or autism spectrum disorder. These are 664 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 7: people who are on the fringe already. They are not 665 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 7: socially well adjusted. They are unhappy in their own bodies 666 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 7: and where they are in society and they take it 667 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 7: out on others, and this is a real problem. Unfortunately, 668 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 7: given the tsunami we are facing of autism in this 669 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 7: country and the fact that rates are on the rise, 670 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 7: the greatest number of people diagnosed with autism were born 671 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 7: this year, meaning they are babies. 672 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: Now. 673 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 7: Okay, we ten years from now, fifteen years from now, 674 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 7: we are going to have a much larger group of 675 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 7: people who fit into that diagnosis, and we're going to 676 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 7: have to contend with that. So I think we aren't 677 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 7: going to see a reversal of this anytime soon. The 678 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 7: best thing we can do, is I said, is call 679 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 7: out this behavior. Absolutely, refuse to accept it the idea 680 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 7: for too long, I think conservatives have and I don't 681 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 7: want to get into the religious connotation of quote turning 682 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 7: the other cheek, but we cannot accept in civil society 683 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 7: this type of behavior. We cannot normalize it. You know, 684 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 7: they don't they call us these names, Nazi, fascist, you know, hitler, 685 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 7: whatever it is. They don't kill you or strike out 686 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 7: at you because they believe you are those things. They 687 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 7: call you those things so that they can strike out 688 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 7: at you to justify their actions. 689 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 8: And we cannot. 690 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 7: Allow that to happen, and it starts with our elected leaders, 691 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 7: people in Congress who have got to stop using those 692 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 7: terms because it gins up these people who are not 693 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 7: mentally stable. It gives them a justification for the violence 694 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 7: that they then go on to perpetrate. 695 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we're You're so right, doctor Victory. And 696 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 6: I think that as we continue to go forward, we're 697 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 6: going to see a lot more attention paid because studies 698 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 6: are changing. Science is changing, right. 699 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 7: Absolutely, And as I said, I am not, you know, 700 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 7: phobic of anything. I'm simply calling out the reality we 701 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 7: have seen. The last you know, six or eight shootings 702 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 7: have been perpetrated by people in some way connected with 703 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 7: the transgender quote unquote community. We need to acknowledge that 704 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 7: and figure out what that's about. As I said, I 705 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 7: believe personally that it is related to the over representation 706 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 7: of autism and autism spectrum disorder in that group of people, 707 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 7: and the fact that we are going to have to 708 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 7: acknowledge the growing rates of that problem, deal with the 709 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 7: mental health issue at the same time that we double 710 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 7: down on our commitment that we are not willing to 711 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 7: accept this type of violent behavior. We are not willing 712 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 7: to allow our streets to burn, businesses to be looted, 713 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 7: police cars to be turned over. Every time somebody is 714 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 7: unhappy with something that occurs. 715 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 4: It's super important. 716 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 6: And of course we're not alluding that people with autism 717 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 6: are automatically violent at all, correct, But as those numbers 718 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 6: increase and as the problems increase therein thank goodness, there's 719 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 6: a new sheriff in town right in RFK, and he 720 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 6: will be shedding some light on that and some studies 721 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 6: that are more authentic than those in the past that 722 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 6: have been all funded by guests who big pharma. 723 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 4: Doctor Victory, We appreciate you, Thank you for being with 724 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 4: us today, Thanks for having me all right. 725 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 6: Coming up North Carolina, Republicans blamed Democrats for woke policies 726 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 6: they say contributed to the Charlotte light rail stabbing that 727 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 6: left one woman dead. As you'll remember those details we're 728 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 6: going to talk to you about just ahead, as American 729 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 6: Sunrise continues. 730 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 15: Welcome back to American Sunrise. 731 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 4: I'm Emily Finn. 732 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 15: Hope that you're caffeinated this more because it. 733 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 4: Is time to stay awake, not woke. 734 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 15: The left says that it's politicizing a tragedy. Republicans say 735 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 15: it's time to wake up. After the brutal stabbing of 736 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 15: twenty three year old Ukrainian refugee Irena Zarkutska on a 737 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 15: Charlotte light rail, North Carolina, Republicans are blaming lenient, woke crime. 738 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 4: Policies for her death. 739 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 15: The suspects is a violent repeat offender, released on a 740 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 15: written promise to appear in court despite a rap sheet 741 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 15: a mile long. The question this morning, are Democrats soft 742 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 15: on crime policies costing innocent Americans their lives? For discussion, 743 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 15: Let's welcome to American Sunrise, Doctor Gina, David and Terrence. 744 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 15: Terrence want to go to you first on this one. 745 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 4: What is your take? 746 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 15: I think anyone who saw the video of what happened 747 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 15: to Irena thought it was just tragic. 748 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 4: It was horrible, It was senseless. 749 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 15: I really don't see any other take. 750 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: No, it was brutal. 751 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: There are many more adjectives I think you probably could 752 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 2: draw from that. Heartbreaking. But one of the things that 753 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 2: heartens me is that President and Trump is taking a 754 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 2: hard line on crime across this country. Of course, just 755 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: yesterday he signed a new order saying that he was 756 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 2: going to be sending National Guard troops into Memphis, specifically 757 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: the city of Memphis, and so I think this is 758 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 2: really kind of the crime the law and Order President, 759 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: and it starts with cities like Memphis. But I think 760 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 2: the bigger picture here is that it sends a message 761 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 2: across the country that crime, excuse me, is not going 762 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 2: to be tolerated, and that there's a new sheriff in town, 763 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 2: so to speak, who is going to really crack down 764 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 2: on that crime. 765 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 6: Doctor Jena, Yeah, I think that we've got to take 766 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 6: some lessons from the past. You know, anyone with a 767 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 6: thirteen time arrest record would never have been set free 768 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 6: even ten twenty years ago. What has happened, you know, 769 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 6: and what needs to revert. I also, I think we 770 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 6: have to go back to reconsidering punishments, perhaps more public punishments, 771 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 6: perhaps more swift punishments, perhaps more of them. 772 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 4: I don't know. 773 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 6: You know, this is not my field of expertise, but 774 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 6: I can say there is a criminal psychology. I've seen 775 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 6: it in therapy sessions with people where they have said 776 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 6: to me, I'm not afraid of doing it because I 777 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 6: know you only get a slap on the wrist for that. 778 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 4: I've had people say that to. 779 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 6: Me when considering crime, when I've worked with people who 780 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 6: were criminally insane, things like that. 781 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 4: So to say that there's. 782 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 6: No prevention in furthering punishment is simply not true. There 783 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 6: is a deterrence effect and it needs to be put 784 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 6: back into place. 785 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 19: Brody. 786 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, the Democrats are on the wrong side of 787 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 5: the safety issue time and time again. We can go 788 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 5: back to defund the police. 789 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,439 Speaker 1: They were all for. 790 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 5: That until they weren't because it wasn't popular. And here 791 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 5: we are with casual spell and we just go down 792 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 5: the line. Now we're talking about like in Chicago, for example, 793 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 5: Pritzker and these folks, they're like, we don't want the 794 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 5: National Guard, but we'll take your money. You know, they 795 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 5: want some help federally, you know, to put some more 796 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 5: money and take it. Takes the village programs or whatever 797 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 5: their community organizing programs are there that haven't worked clearly 798 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 5: in Chicago. So you know, Democrats always like to throw 799 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 5: money at the problem. They've been doing that since LBJ 800 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 5: and it just hasn't worked. 801 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: And we know that. 802 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 5: And they're on not only on the wrong side of 803 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 5: anti or the wrong side of safety, they're on the 804 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 5: wrong side of this politically and it's going to hurt him. 805 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 5: In twenty twenty six, I got to get my facts 806 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 5: and years correct. 807 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:32,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 808 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 15: Absolutely, you know you're on the wrong side when there 809 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 15: are innocent people that continue to die. 810 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 4: Absolutely awful.

The article also cites that public schools 828 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 2: are reportedly adopting policies they could make young girls share bathrooms, 829 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 2: locker rooms, and even sleeping accommodations. 830 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: As the father of two girls, yeah, I ain't having that. 831 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: For more, Let's bring in the CEO of Promise Keeper, 832 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: Shane Winning. Shane, good morning, Hey, good morning, Thanks for 833 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: having me. 834 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're going to get to all of that momentarily, 835 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 2: but first I do want to give you an opportunity 836 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 2: to speak on the passing of Charlie Kirk. 837 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: How are you doing with it? How are you coping? 838 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? 839 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean it's tragic. Unfortunately, I'm well versed in 840 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 21: processing grief, you know, having lost soldiers in the army 841 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 21: and dealing with the things I saw as a cop. 842 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 21: But it doesn't get any easier. And I will say, 843 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 21: this is the first time I ever saw someone I 844 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 21: knew executed, and you know, I'm just thankful that. You know, 845 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 21: time doesn't heal all wounds, but Jesus does, and so 846 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 21: I'm leaning on him, as I'm sure many others are 847 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 21: in this hour. 848 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 2: And I think that's a perfect transition for us to 849 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 2: this religious liberties in schools question, because it's something that Charlie. 850 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: Would have pushed for. 851 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 2: And religious religious liberty is really a form of freedom 852 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 2: that's being taken away by some of these school districts. 853 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 21: Yeah, that's right, and you know it's not just taking 854 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 21: away our freedom, but it's actually imposing their will upon 855 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 21: the next generation, which is satanic at its core. You know, 856 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 21: to do things behind a parent's back, to secretly transition, 857 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 21: or to call a child by a different name or 858 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 21: a different pronoun, to to create a wedge. The Bible 859 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 21: talks about the enemy coming in and creating a wedge 860 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 21: between two people. And you know, the last place we 861 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 21: should see this happening is in our schools, where we 862 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 21: hope that our kids are going to learn, you know, 863 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 21: how to become productive citizens, how to learn the basics, 864 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 21: you know, math, science, reading, all of these things. No, 865 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 21: it's become about sexuality. It's become about you know, Paul 866 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 21: and culture, and it's just strayed so far. And that's 867 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 21: why my wife and I were homeschooling as I see 868 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 21: many others are drifting towards, you. 869 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 2: Know, and to your point, the fact that it's become 870 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 2: about so many other things that at one point in time, 871 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 2: our schools were training ground from morality. But it seems 872 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 2: that has gone by the wayside. That makes it that 873 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 2: much more incumbent on parents to be involved and to 874 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 2: make sure you raise up your child and the way 875 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 2: it should go. 876 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 21: That's right, and that's our responsibility as parents, it's not 877 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 21: the teacher's responsibility. With that being said, you look at 878 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 21: the power of prayer and the Bible in schools. I 879 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 21: believe it was in the sixties that a twenty two 880 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 21: word prayer was removed from schools. And since that removal 881 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 21: of that prayer, which was basically just a prayer to 882 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 21: bless the nation, the leadership, bless the teachers, bless the 883 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 21: people of America. When that was taken out, all of 884 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 21: the statistics got worse, not better. We're talking dropouts, we're 885 00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 21: talking poverty, we're talking crime. We can track the effectiveness 886 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 21: of God's word. And when we take it out of schools, 887 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 21: the only one left in those schools is Satan. 888 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 1: Amen will leave it there, Shane. Always good to talk 889 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: to you, my friend. 890 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 21: Thanks so much, man, God bless likewise bless you as well. 891 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 1: We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise.

During the Ray era 985 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 19: at the FBI, the bureau reallocated resources from child crimes 986 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:10,280 Speaker 19: to January sixth, work, Director Patel, You've also moved agents 987 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 19: from headquarters to field offices to better assign align with 988 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 19: their law enforcement mission. Under your leadership, the FBI has 989 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 19: apprehended several most wanted fugitives and secured the extradition of 990 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 19: senior leaders of the Central American gangs like MS thirteen. Now, well, 991 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 19: it's well understood your predecessor left you an FBI. 992 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 8: Infected with politics. 993 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 19: I'm going to provide examples of that today, including making 994 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 19: public new whistleblower records. At your nomination hearing, I made 995 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:03,360 Speaker 19: public records that whistle blow provided me about Arctic Frost. 996 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:09,359 Speaker 19: Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by 997 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 19: Anti Truft's Trump FBI agent Debout. Arctic Frost then became 998 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,919 Speaker 19: Jack Smith's elector case against then citizen Trump and now 999 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 19: President Trump. These new records show that Arctic Frost was 1000 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 19: much broader than just a an electoral matter. The case 1001 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 19: was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of the group 1002 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 19: that ray FBI sought to place under political investigation included 1003 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 19: the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney General's Association, and various 1004 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 19: Trump political groups. In total, ninety two Republican targets, including 1005 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 19: Republican groups and Republican linked individuals, were placed under investigative 1006 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:16,919 Speaker 19: scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one 1007 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 19: of Charlie Kirk's groups turning Point USA. In other words, 1008 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 19: artig Frost wasn't just a case to politically investigate Trump. 1009 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 19: It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and 1010 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 19: Department Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly 1011 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 19: investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. So today, Senator Johnson 1012 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 19: and I are making these records public for the entire 1013 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 19: country to see, and I hope a lot of peer 1014 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,879 Speaker 19: people are interested in seeing what government can do when 1015 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 19: various agencies have a political agenda. My investigative work has 1016 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 19: also exposed the political way in which Peter Navarro was 1017 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 19: investigated and prosecuted. When FBI agent Tibo found out that 1018 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 19: Biden's DOJ would prosecute Navarro, he said, Wow, great, that's 1019 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 19: a quote unquote. Through whistleblowers, I've attained an audio recording 1020 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:47,719 Speaker 19: of Special Agent Geogardina and Special Agent Sebastian Gardner's delivery 1021 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 19: of a subpoena to Navarro. I'm make in that audio 1022 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 19: public today. In a court document filed by the Department Justice, 1023 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 19: Navarro's interaction with the FBI was unfairly described as quote 1024 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:14,040 Speaker 19: unquote the word combative, that intervention with Navarro was just 1025 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:21,360 Speaker 19: as a justification to later aggressively arrest him. Then we 1026 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 19: get to the Clinton ANX and the Durham ANX. The 1027 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 19: Clinton X showed that the Komy FBI had evidence necessary 1028 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:37,399 Speaker 19: to complete the Clinton investigation, the one about her mishandling 1029 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 19: of emails and classified information, but the FBI never did 1030 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 19: its job because it never reviewed the evidence at that time. 1031 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 19: The Durbin ANX showed that the Clinton campaign had a 1032 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 19: plan to falsely tie Trump to Russia, yet the Kome 1033 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:05,320 Speaker 19: FBI failed to investigate that information. Instead, the Comi FBI 1034 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 19: used the discredited Clinton campaign funded Steele dossier to advance 1035 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 19: Crossfire Hurricane against Trump. Director Patel thanks in a large 1036 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 19: part to you. Both annexes were finally declassified. That may 1037 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 19: be history, but it's history to make sure we don't 1038 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 19: repeat the history of the past, and the people ought 1039 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 19: to be concerned when the weaponsation of government is used 1040 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 19: in this way, whether it's done by Republicans or Democrats. 1041 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 19: Last Congress, I made public an FBI document called ten 1042 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 19: twenty three four that alleged a bribery scheme with the 1043 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 19: Biden family. 1044 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 8: Today, the FBI has. 1045 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 19: Never answered Congress whether the investigated the text messages, the 1046 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 19: audio files, and the financial records referenced in that ten 1047 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 19: twenty three. Whistleblowers have provided my office with two additional 1048 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 19: FBI ten twenty three documents. These documents memorialize statements from 1049 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 19: FBI sources. These two new ten twenty three documents are 1050 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 19: from separate FBI confidential human sources during different years. So 1051 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 19: in total we now have three different FBI confidential human 1052 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 19: sources providing information about the Biden family and potential criminal conduct. Today, 1053 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 19: Senator Johnson and I are releasing these records. Let me 1054 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 19: say this for the part of media, the people that 1055 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 19: are supposed to be policemen of our republican form of government, 1056 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 19: we aren't saying the allegations are true. We want to 1057 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 19: know what the FBI did to fully investigate their veracity 1058 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 19: or lack thereof, and what they concluded. Let's put this 1059 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 19: matter to rest one way or the other. Starting with 1060 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 19: my chairmanship, I've given one example after another of disgraceful 1061 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 19: partisan weaponization by federal law enforcement. Since the Trump adration 1062 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 19: took power, many FBI agents have been removed. The removal 1063 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 19: included agents and prosecutors who became partisan weapons that lost 1064 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:58,920 Speaker 19: their way, and I've made records public to prove it. 1065 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 19: Any of my whistle boars were aggressively retaliated against by 1066 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 19: some FBI agents who were subsequently fired. One FBI whistle 1067 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 19: war publicly said of these terminations, quote ensuring that they 1068 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 19: no longer work at the FBI isn't retribution, It's responsible leadership. 1069 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 19: End the quote, which brings me to my final and 1070 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 19: favorite topic, whistleblowers. 1071 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 8: In August. 1072 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 19: Ten of my whistle ten of my FBI whistle wars 1073 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 19: secured compensation agreement because of your. 1074 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 8: Leadership, Director Patel. 1075 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 19: It included a mix of reinstatement of the to the FBI, 1076 01:00:54,920 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 19: reinstatement of security clearances, and monetary company. At the beginning 1077 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 19: of this month, another of my FBI whistle bowers got 1078 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 19: their job back. All told, across government agencies, almost twenty 1079 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 19: whistle bowers have received fixes to their retaliation. 1080 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 8: Today. 1081 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 19: You'll get a lot of grief from some members of 1082 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 19: this committee, but in the short amount of time you've 1083 01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 19: been Director, you've corrected whistle bower retaliation increased transparency more 1084 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 19: than any other FBI director I've seen. Whether that FBI 1085 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 19: director was appointed by Republicans or Democrats, and I've been 1086 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 19: around here more than anybody else on this committee. I 1087 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 19: yield to Center German. 1088 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 12: Thanks Termany Rastley for holding this siversight hearing during a 1089 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 12: critical period in the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 1090 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 12: During my four years as chair, I held four hearings 1091 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 12: within FBI Director Ray as a reminder to Republicans who 1092 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 12: claimed the Biden administration weaponized the FBI. President Biden retained 1093 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 12: Director Ray, a lifelong Republican who was President Trump's nominee 1094 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,840 Speaker 12: for the office. After his second election, In an unprecedented move, 1095 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 12: President Trump forced out Director Ray and nominated Cash Patel, 1096 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 12: arguably the most partisan FBI director ever. Director Patel came 1097 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 12: to the FBI with a political mission, and he spelled 1098 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 12: it out in writing in detail, he wrote, government gangsters 1099 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,960 Speaker 12: quote the rot at the core of the FBI is 1100 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 12: not just scandalous, it's an existential threat to our Republican 1101 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 12: form of government. And with the power of his office 1102 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 12: and the blessings of the President, he attacked the FBI 1103 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 12: with a vengeance. Mister Pettel had falsely claimed the FBI 1104 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 12: quote was planning January six for a year end quote. 1105 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,200 Speaker 12: He even went so far as to produce a song 1106 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 12: by the January six rioters who violently assaulted police officers 1107 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,440 Speaker 12: in the Capitol. He compiled an enemy's list of public 1108 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 12: servants he called government gangsters, like former FBI Director Miller, 1109 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 12: whom Mottel called quote an utter swamp creature. Former Trump 1110 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 12: officials who served with mister Pateel warned us he would 1111 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 12: weaponize the FBI to protect the President's allies and target 1112 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 12: his critics. And indeed, Director Patel has already inflicted untold 1113 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 12: damage on the FBI, putting our national security and public 1114 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 12: safety at risk. Since January twentieth, the Trump administration has 1115 01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 12: engaged in an unprecedented purge of FBI officials. As we 1116 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 12: heard from highly credible whistleblowers, mister Patel was involved in 1117 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 12: directing this purge even before he was confirmed, despite his 1118 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 12: sworn testimony to this committee. It began with terminations and 1119 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 12: forced retirements of all six nonpartisan career officials who run 1120 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:25,400 Speaker 12: all six branches of the FBI, the executive assistant directors. 1121 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 12: Since then, at least eighteen of the fifty three special 1122 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 12: agents in charge of FBI field offices had been removed 1123 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 12: along with many other senior officials. Individual agents had been 1124 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 12: targeted for termination simply due to the work that they 1125 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,720 Speaker 12: were assigned, such as January sixth investigation. In fact, according 1126 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 12: to former acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll in a lawsuit 1127 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 12: filed last week, Director Patel made this very plain, telling 1128 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 12: Driscoll personally quote that his own job depended on the 1129 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 12: removed agents who worked on the case against the president 1130 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 12: and even though he knew quote the nat nature of 1131 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 12: summary findings were likely illegal. At the same time, Director 1132 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 12: Patel has installed Maggi loyalist as political appointees and key 1133 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 12: career positions, including conspiracy theorist Dan Bongino as FBI Ditty Director, 1134 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 12: the first time in the history of the FBI that 1135 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 12: this position has not been held by a career FBI agent. 1136 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:33,919 Speaker 12: Director Patel has also reportedly initiated loyalty test loyalty test 1137 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 12: requiring dozens of officials to sit for polygraph exams and 1138 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 12: answer inappropriate questions about whether they've made negative comments about 1139 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 12: him personally. Of course, as often the case in the 1140 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 12: Trump administration, the rules applied to thee but not to me. 1141 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,720 Speaker 12: As we understand it from highly credible sources. Key members 1142 01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 12: of Director Patel's senior executive team and others on this 1143 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 12: seventh floor had disqualifying alerts on their initial polygraph exams. Well, 1144 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 12: how do they survive? They survived because of personal waiver 1145 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 12: by either the Director or the Attorney General to remain 1146 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 12: employed by the Bureau. The understand the context here. Political 1147 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 12: operatives in key positions given the routine FBI PolyGram exam 1148 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 12: failed and had to receive waivers to continue their positions. 1149 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 12: They were lucky to keep their political appointmances they were, 1150 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 12: But the five thousand career civil servants the director is 1151 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 12: so far forced out of the Bureau's ranks were not 1152 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:42,480 Speaker 12: offered that same courtesy five thousand. This mass accidents has 1153 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 12: created a disastrous brain drain, particularly in the fields of cybersecurity, 1154 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 12: counter terrorism, counterintelligence. For example, my office has received information 1155 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 12: indicating that cuts to the Bureau's cyber division will cut 1156 01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 12: personnel by half despite the ever increasing threats posed by 1157 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 12: adverse foreign actors. The brain drain is exacerbated by Director 1158 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 12: Patel's misuse of remaining FBI personnel resources to focus on 1159 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 12: other priorities of this administration. According to reports, the twenty 1160 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 12: five largest FBI field offices have been ordered to divert 1161 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 12: forty five percent of their agents from their primary missions 1162 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 12: to work on the mass deportation of immigrants. Just as 1163 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 12: concerning as Director Pattel's plan to hire fewer qualified agents 1164 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 12: by removing the College decree degree requirement and reducing new 1165 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 12: agent training at Juantico from eighteen weeks to just eight, 1166 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 12: so we have a brain drain and a significant water 1167 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 12: ordering down of training. Quite a record, mister Patel, as 1168 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 12: recently fired special agents and others have warren fast tracking 1169 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 12: inexperienced and improperly trained people into critical national security jeopardizes 1170 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 12: the bureaus ability to effectively protect America. Director Patel himself 1171 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 12: had no training or life experience for this position. The 1172 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 12: result of that incompetence is staggering. For example, after Attorney 1173 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 12: General Bondi publicly stated in February that the Epstein client 1174 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 12: list was quote sitting on my desk right now to review. 1175 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 12: That's what you said on Fox, Director Patel diverted more 1176 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,760 Speaker 12: than a thousand FBI personnel from the critical missions to 1177 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 12: work on twenty four hour shifts reviewing over one hundred 1178 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:39,560 Speaker 12: thousand pages of Epstein related records. These personnel were instructed 1179 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 12: to flag any records in which President Trump was named, 1180 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 12: but that review ended in an unsigned memorandum from DOJ 1181 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 12: and FBI stating simply there is no incriminating client list 1182 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 12: close quote. Director Patel still has now responded to my 1183 01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,759 Speaker 12: letter from two months ago asking about his role. 1184 01:08:59,600 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 8: In his. 1185 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,519 Speaker 12: On the day of the horrific shooting of Charlie Kirk 1186 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 12: at Utah Valley University, Director Patel again sparked mass confusion 1187 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 12: by incorrectly claiming on social media that the shooter was 1188 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 12: in custody, which he then had to walk back with 1189 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 12: another social media post. Mister Patel was so anxious to 1190 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 12: take credit for finding mister Kirk's assassin that he violated 1191 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 12: one of the basics of effective law enforcement. At critical 1192 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 12: stages of an investigation, shut up and let the professionals 1193 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 12: do their job. Notably, Director Patel recently forced out special 1194 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 12: Agent charge at Salt Lake City my msaid, a counter 1195 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 12: terrorism expert with twenty years experience who would have led 1196 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 12: this high profile, profile investigation. The men and women who 1197 01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 12: serve at the FBI and the American people deserve a 1198 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:54,639 Speaker 12: director who has the ability and the character to restore 1199 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 12: the Bureau to its place as the pre eminent law 1200 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 12: enforcement agency. I want to close on a personal note. 1201 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 12: I came of age in the nineteen sixties. We experienced 1202 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 12: a number of horrific assassinations, including President John Kennedy, Senator 1203 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 12: Robert Kennedy, and doctor Martin Luther King. We are going 1204 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 12: through a similar period of division and political violence. All 1205 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 12: of us in public life, on both sides of the isle, 1206 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,840 Speaker 12: have a responsibility to bring down the temperature and to 1207 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 12: work to unite the American people. Let's be clear, Republicans 1208 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 12: are not Nazis and Democrats are not evil, as mister 1209 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 12: Pttel has claimed. Democrats are not responsible for the murder 1210 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 12: of Charlie Kirk and Republicans were not responsible for the 1211 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:43,919 Speaker 12: murder of Melissa Hartman. Our political opponents are not our enemies. 1212 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,360 Speaker 12: We are all Americans, and we should be working together 1213 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 12: to keep the American people safe and protect their constitutional rights. 1214 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:52,719 Speaker 12: Thank you, mister chairman. 1215 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 8: Would you please stanzichas. 1216 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 19: Do you you are firm that the testimony you're about 1217 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 19: to give before this committee will be the truth or 1218 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 19: whole truth, or nothing but the truth, or I hope you guide. 1219 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 19: Please be seated and you can give your statement now. 1220 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 22: Thank you, Good morning, mister Chairman, Ranking Member Durbin, and 1221 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 22: members of the Committee. 1222 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 10: It's an honor to be here with you today. 1223 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 22: As the ninth director of the FBI, I want to 1224 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 22: provide by providing a briefing into the tragic assassination of 1225 01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 22: Charlie Kirk. It's important that this FBI as transparent as 1226 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 22: possible without jeopardizing investigations. Charlie Kirk was shot at twelve 1227 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 22: twenty three am, excuse me PM on September tenth. I 1228 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 22: think this timeline is critically important. Less than a day later, 1229 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 22: the FBI my direction, released the first set of images 1230 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 22: of the suspect that we captured based on our analysis 1231 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 22: on the ground. Later that evening, while conducting extensive interviews 1232 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,759 Speaker 22: and cell phone analysis, and also flying out evidence response 1233 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,920 Speaker 22: teams and hostage rescue teams and evidence sect titians who 1234 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 22: were collecting evidence in live time and flying them back 1235 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 22: to Washington, d C. In our laboratories for media analyses, 1236 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 22: we were able to extract video from the campus feed 1237 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,680 Speaker 22: and in my direction at eight PM, in partnership and 1238 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 22: promise to working with the public to bring this fugitive 1239 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 22: to justice. We released a newly never before seen video 1240 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 22: of the suspect. We also released new enhanced photos of 1241 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 22: the suspect. A few hours later, that suspect was in 1242 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 22: custody pursued to the interrogation of the suspects on father, 1243 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,639 Speaker 22: who stated, when I saw that video that you released, 1244 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 22: I recognized it was my son, and I confronted him 1245 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,560 Speaker 22: and he was handed over to lawful law enforcement authorities. 1246 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,200 Speaker 22: That is the FBI working with the public as a 1247 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 22: promise to being transparent and provided critical information along the 1248 01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,719 Speaker 22: way in the manhunt for the suspect or suspects involved 1249 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 22: in Charlie's assassination. We received over eleven thousand tips In 1250 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,439 Speaker 22: the first twenty four hours alone. We received sixteen thousand 1251 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,720 Speaker 22: submissions to our digital media enterprise and tip lines. That 1252 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 22: is a large number of material to go through. I 1253 01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 22: want to thank President Trump and the Attorney General of 1254 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 22: Pam Bondi for their unwavering support and commitment resources to 1255 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 22: this and all investigations. I also want to specially thank 1256 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 22: our colleagues in Utah, the Governor's Office, DPS, and the 1257 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 22: sheriffs out there. 1258 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 10: State and local law. 1259 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 22: Enforcement partnership has been a cornerstone since I took over 1260 01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 22: at the FBI, and it was no different here and 1261 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 22: our teams in Salt Lake City, our essaycs out there 1262 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 22: across the country, our lab tecticians in Quantico who race 1263 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 22: to complete the evidence analysis so the public could have 1264 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 22: the answers they need. These people worked through the night 1265 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,560 Speaker 22: without sleep for days on end. They are to be commended, 1266 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 22: they are not to be attacked, and many many many 1267 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 22: more people. I don't have time to thank here today, 1268 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 22: but I do want to thank the American people, especially 1269 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 22: the mission of the FBI is for them and with them, 1270 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,839 Speaker 22: and buy with and through them. And is that mission 1271 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 22: and that ethos that brought to this investigation and so 1272 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,879 Speaker 22: many others. And that's why that suspect is in custody. 1273 01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 22: We cannot do our job without the American public, incredible 1274 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 22: reporting in the media, and that's why Tyler Robinson is 1275 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 22: in custody today about to face charges. The last time 1276 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 22: I appeared before this committee was in January for my 1277 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,959 Speaker 22: confirmation hearing. I told you then that if I were confirmed, 1278 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,160 Speaker 22: I would provide and do everything I can to provide 1279 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,680 Speaker 22: a safe and secure America. I promise to provide the 1280 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,640 Speaker 22: courageous men and women of the FBI the tools and 1281 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,200 Speaker 22: resources they need to crush. 1282 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 10: Violent crime and defend the homeland. 1283 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 22: I pledged myself to commit to full transparency, oversight, and 1284 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,759 Speaker 22: accountability so we could restore the public's trust in the FBI. 1285 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 22: That's exactly what I've done. Under this administration. The FBI 1286 01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,680 Speaker 22: has arrested more than twenty three thousand the violent criminals. 1287 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 22: That's more than twice for the same time period from 1288 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 22: last year alone, twenty three thousand, more than twice from 1289 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:52,880 Speaker 22: the same time period last year. 1290 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 10: We've taken over. 1291 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,280 Speaker 22: Six thousand illegal firearms off the streets. That number is 1292 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,240 Speaker 22: an exponential increase. Identified and located more than forty seven 1293 01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 22: hundred child victims. More than forty seven hundred child victims 1294 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 22: have been found by this FBI. That is a thirty 1295 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,840 Speaker 22: five percent increase from the same time period last year. 1296 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 22: Fifteen hundred child predators have been arrested. That's a five 1297 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 22: percent increase from the same time last year. Three hundred 1298 01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 22: human traffickers have been arrested. That's a ten percent increase 1299 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 22: from the same time last year. 1300 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 10: Over three hundred and fifty members of. 1301 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 22: Trende Arragua Foreign terrorist organization have been arrested, and we 1302 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 22: have forty two ongoing cases. That is a two hundred 1303 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 22: and fifty percent increase from the same time last year. 1304 01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 10: Those are just some of the things. 1305 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,760 Speaker 22: The FBI is doing differently and better because we are 1306 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,480 Speaker 22: leading the mission a crush filent crime and defend the homeland. 1307 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 22: We have also arrested four captured four top ten fugitives 1308 01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 22: from the FBI's top ten most wanted list. To put 1309 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,639 Speaker 22: that in perspective that it's the same amount I've captured 1310 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,639 Speaker 22: in seven months than my predecessor did during the entirety 1311 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 22: of the Biden administration. Those are real results, and the 1312 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,679 Speaker 22: credit is to the men and women at the FBI. 1313 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,719 Speaker 22: We've been able to achieve these results because the FBI 1314 01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,840 Speaker 22: recognized as violent crimes doesn't just happen in Washington, DC. 1315 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 10: That's why one of my. 1316 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,759 Speaker 22: First decisions as a director was to get the people, 1317 01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 22: the Bureau's professional staff out to the field. And then 1318 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 22: we've done that with great speed, and every single one 1319 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 22: of your districts and states has received a plus up 1320 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 22: of FBI personnel, agents and special operators to the tune 1321 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 22: of almost a thousand. We did that because crime had 1322 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:44,479 Speaker 22: unexpectedly and unacceptably exploded across the country. In fact, one 1323 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 22: of the stats that the American people should thank the 1324 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 22: FBI the most for is we are on track to 1325 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 22: have the lowest murder rate in modern American history, the 1326 01:16:55,160 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 22: lowest murder rate by double digit percentages. A major factor 1327 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 22: in the drop of this violent crime is the FBI's 1328 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 22: flagship Operation Summer Heat. We use this initiative, at the 1329 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 22: direction of the President of the Attorney General, surging resources 1330 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,160 Speaker 22: to our major and mid major cities across America, conducting 1331 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 22: intelligence based operations to target the worst of the worst, 1332 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,200 Speaker 22: to target the gangs, to target the transnational organizations, to 1333 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 22: target the TCOs, and to target the drug trafficking cartels. 1334 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,519 Speaker 22: And we have taken them out city by city. There's 1335 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:30,960 Speaker 22: a lot of work left to be done, but we're 1336 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,879 Speaker 22: off to a great start, just as the citizens of Seattle, Miami, Memphis, Charlotte, Chicago, 1337 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,000 Speaker 22: and so many more places. Specifically in New Orleans and 1338 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 22: Nashville alone, there has been an increase in the number 1339 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,719 Speaker 22: of violent crime arrests by an average of two hundred 1340 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 22: and fifty percent for each of those cities, and there 1341 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 22: has been a drastic reduction in crime across the board 1342 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,600 Speaker 22: in mid major cities across this country thanks to the 1343 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 22: men and women of the FBI. How are we doing that. 1344 01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 22: We are attacking the drawback drug of a demo. We've 1345 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 22: seized nearly one thousand kilograms of meth and cocaine off 1346 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,799 Speaker 22: the streets of America. We've taken over sixteen hundred, sixteen 1347 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 22: hundred kilograms of fentanyl off the streets maybe one of 1348 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 22: the greatest achievements we have this year, sixteen hundred kilograms 1349 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 22: of fentanyl. That's a twenty five percent increase from the 1350 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,080 Speaker 22: same time last year. To put things in perspective, that's 1351 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,600 Speaker 22: enough fentanyl to kill a third of the American populace 1352 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 22: one hundred and fifteen million Americans. We're also going after 1353 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:32,640 Speaker 22: the companies that manufacture these precursors overseas in places like 1354 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,400 Speaker 22: mainland China and their cutting agents. In fact, this month 1355 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 22: in Cincinnati, we announced groundbreaking charges aimed at the individuals 1356 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,720 Speaker 22: and businesses responsible for flooding these opioids and their precursors 1357 01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,640 Speaker 22: and cutting agents into the streets of America. And for 1358 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,040 Speaker 22: the first time that I can remember, we are charging 1359 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,120 Speaker 22: these businesses and enterprises not just in America but in 1360 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 22: mainland China and seizing their operational necessity to have money 1361 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 22: by seizing their cryptocurrency wallets. We're also equally important to 1362 01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,719 Speaker 22: protecting the homeland. We know we have a no fail mission. 1363 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 22: We're committed to keeping our nations safe from terrorism, cyber attacks, 1364 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 22: and foreign adversaries, whether stopping threats inspired by foreign terrorist 1365 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,719 Speaker 22: organizations or loan wolf factors, or sponsored by hostile nation states. 1366 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 22: This year, we've already made nearly sixty counter intelligence arrest 1367 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 22: Sixty counterintelligence arrests this year alone is a thirty percent 1368 01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 22: increase from the same time period last year for the 1369 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,519 Speaker 22: CI work at the FBI. I'm proud when we can 1370 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 22: share our successes, such as when an espiona's charge was 1371 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,599 Speaker 22: brought against an active duty in US Navy sailor caught 1372 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 22: spying for the People's Republic of China. But I want 1373 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,880 Speaker 22: the American people to know the FBI is protecting the 1374 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,679 Speaker 22: homeland from foreign adversaries in a way that will never 1375 01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 22: make the news, and a lot of the good work 1376 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 22: that they do will never be able to discussed in 1377 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 22: this setting. We're working on cyber threats, We're attacking malware infrastructure, 1378 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 22: going after ransomware attackers, delivering a new partnership with the private, 1379 01:19:59,160 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 22: public sector and. 1380 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 10: Game we've taken with the companies. 1381 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,679 Speaker 22: Who are attacked by these foreign adversaries and nation state 1382 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 22: actors and individual enterprise brings from around the world. We 1383 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:13,640 Speaker 22: are combating Salt Typhoon, Vault Typhoon, flax Typhoon, and so 1384 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 22: many other ransomware and cyber threats to this nation faces. 1385 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 22: We're also arresting people such as Tajik National in Brooklyn, 1386 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,519 Speaker 22: who was suspective of sending tens of thousands of dollars. 1387 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 10: To support ices. 1388 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 22: We're going after the new form of what I refer 1389 01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,320 Speaker 22: to as modern day terrorism in America seven sixty four 1390 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 22: crimes that involve harming our children by going after them online, 1391 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:43,640 Speaker 22: causing self mutilation, suicide, sexual abuse, and steering them in 1392 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 22: the wrong direction. Currently, we have thirty five hundred international 1393 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:52,240 Speaker 22: terrorism investigations. Specifically, we have in this country seventeen hundred 1394 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,600 Speaker 22: domestic terrorism investigations, a large chunk of which are neoilistic. 1395 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:59,799 Speaker 22: Violent extremism enve those who engage in violent acts motivated 1396 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 22: by a deep. 1397 01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 10: Patriod of society, whatever that justification. 1398 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,280 Speaker 22: They seem as the FBI has seen a three hundred 1399 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,800 Speaker 22: percent increase in cases opened this year alone versus the 1400 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 22: same time last year. In the last couple of months, 1401 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 22: the FBI secured a guilty plea for a man in 1402 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 22: Tennessee who atacked an energy facility with drones and explosives. 1403 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 22: We secured the indictment of violence Sinaloa cartel faction leader 1404 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,400 Speaker 22: in Chicago or narco terrorism charges. Our folks in San Francis, 1405 01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:29,640 Speaker 22: excuse me, Sacramento collaborated with domestic and international partners to 1406 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 22: secure a guilty plea for leader of a transnational terrorist 1407 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 22: organization who solicited the murder of federal officials. But the 1408 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:39,640 Speaker 22: Bureau's job is not done. I'm committed to this transparency. 1409 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:43,400 Speaker 22: Mister Chairman, you alluded to our work with Congress. To date, 1410 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,559 Speaker 22: in the seven months that I've been FBI Director, we 1411 01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 22: have produced thirty three thousand pages to the United States Congress. 1412 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 10: Thirty three thousand pages. 1413 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 22: Just to put that in perspective, my predecessor in his 1414 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 22: seven year term issued thirteen thousand pages to Congress, and 1415 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,080 Speaker 22: his predecessor in his four year term issued three one 1416 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,920 Speaker 22: thousand pages to Congress. I've issued thirty three thousand pages 1417 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 22: in seven months, and we're going to keep going from 1418 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,719 Speaker 22: dedicated to restoring the trust that the public has it needs, 1419 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,760 Speaker 22: and the integrity at the FBI. And it's being done 1420 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,679 Speaker 22: every day by the men and women of the FBI. 1421 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 10: Now, I know that. 1422 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:19,240 Speaker 22: There's a lot of talk about Epstein, and I'm here 1423 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 22: to testify that the original sin in the Epstein case 1424 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,719 Speaker 22: was the way it was initially brought by mister Acosta 1425 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,479 Speaker 22: back in two thousand and six. The original case involved 1426 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,679 Speaker 22: a very limited search warrant or set of search warrants, 1427 01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 22: and didn't take as much investigatory material it should have ceased. 1428 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 22: If I were the FBI director, then it wouldn't have happened. 1429 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,120 Speaker 22: The search warrants were limited to small time periods to 1430 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 22: include two thousand and two to two thousand and five 1431 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,599 Speaker 22: and nineteen ninety seven to two thousand and one. Mister 1432 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 22: Costs allowed Epstein to enter in two thousand and eight 1433 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 22: to a plea and non prosecution agreement, which then the 1434 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,880 Speaker 22: courts issued mandates and protective orders legally prohibiting anyone from 1435 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 22: ever seeing that material ever again without the permission of 1436 01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,560 Speaker 22: the court. The non prosecution agreements all barred future prosecutions 1437 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,720 Speaker 22: for those involved at that time of those individuals. Still, 1438 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 22: this administration, at the direction of President Trump, has done 1439 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,160 Speaker 22: more to turn over all the credible information we are 1440 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 22: legally able to do so, and we will continue to 1441 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 22: work with Congress to achieve that end under the direction 1442 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 22: of the President. We excuse me, thank you for your 1443 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:24,520 Speaker 22: support for our mission to working to jointly deliver transparency 1444 01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 22: and congressional oversight to the United States. 1445 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 10: Lastly, I want to close with. 1446 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,720 Speaker 22: The President's initiative here in Washington, d C. As an 1447 01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 22: example of what we're doing around the country, and I 1448 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 22: think our next city is Memphis. 1449 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,480 Speaker 10: Twenty one thousand arrests. 1450 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 22: In DC with our federal partners, a huge decrease in 1451 01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:45,679 Speaker 22: violent crime, sixty percent decrease in gun crimes in Washington, 1452 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 22: d C in the last month, seventy four percent decrease 1453 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 22: in carjackings in Washington, d C in the last month, 1454 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 22: fifty three percent decrease in homicides in Washington, d C 1455 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,840 Speaker 22: in the last month. The drugs are disappearing, people are 1456 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 22: freely walking around the States, and we're storing the nation's 1457 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,280 Speaker 22: capital to its glory. That work is through the interagency 1458 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 22: process that the FBI is proud to be a part of, 1459 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 22: and the initiative spearheaded by President Trump and the Attorney General, 1460 01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,320 Speaker 22: and perhaps most notably for investigations in Washington itself, it 1461 01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 22: was the intelligence that the FBI gathered through our source 1462 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,640 Speaker 22: network here in DC that helped us identify the suspects 1463 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,560 Speaker 22: in the horrific murder of the DC intern Eric to 1464 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,520 Speaker 22: our opinion, We're proud to be a part of that investigation. 1465 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 22: We're proud to put the resources to bear of the FBI. 1466 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 22: And in closing, mister Chairman and members of the Committee 1467 01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 22: and ranking Member Durbin, I'm honored to be the ninth 1468 01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 22: director of the FBI. 1469 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:39,640 Speaker 10: I'm not going anywhere. 1470 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 22: If you want to criticize my sixteen years of service, 1471 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 22: please bring it on over to your. 1472 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,799 Speaker 8: Okay, cool.

I've continued to 1484 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 19: investigate during this Congress, Director Patel, was Jeffrey Epstein an 1485 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:58,040 Speaker 19: intelligence asset for the United States government or the foreign government? 1486 01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,360 Speaker 19: And if so, which age agencies or governments? 1487 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 22: Mister Chairman, I can only speak to the FBI is 1488 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 22: that the record of the FBI and mister Epstein was 1489 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 22: not a source for the FBI. 1490 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 19: Would you commit to providing my office with all classified 1491 01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 19: non classified records relating the Epstein matter. 1492 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,719 Speaker 10: I will commit to providing all records. 1493 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:24,480 Speaker 22: I'm legally permitted to do so under the court orders. 1494 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 19: It seems to me that I accept your answer to 1495 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:35,879 Speaker 19: my question, but the broader intelligence community ought to answer 1496 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 19: these questions as well. Victims deserve an answer regarding the 1497 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:49,240 Speaker 19: initial FBI ten twenty three document that I made public 1498 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 19: last Congress. That document mentioned one text messages, two audio recordings, 1499 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:02,120 Speaker 19: and three financial records that allegedly proved a bribery scream 1500 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 19: scheme with the Biden family and foreign interest. Regarding those records, 1501 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 19: did the Ray FBI make any effort to determine whether 1502 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 19: they existed? Did the Ray FBI make any effort to 1503 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 19: obtain those records? 1504 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:20,479 Speaker 10: Not to my knowledge, mister Chairman. 1505 01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,679 Speaker 19: Since this matter hasn't been fully investigated, the FBI has 1506 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 19: an obligation to the public to do exactly that and 1507 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 19: figure out why it wasn't investigated. 1508 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,799 Speaker 8: Next question, I've done. 1509 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 19: A lot of oversight relating to sexual misconduct by the 1510 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 19: FBI agents. In fact, I believe this is something I 1511 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:47,160 Speaker 19: discussed with Ray one of his appearances before this committee. 1512 01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:52,800 Speaker 19: According to the FBI Inspection Division, it opened nearly three 1513 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 19: hundred investigations based on sexual misconduct referrals between twenty seventeen 1514 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 19: and four. According to whistleblowers that Biden Ray, FBI totally 1515 01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:10,720 Speaker 19: dropped the ball on this question. One credible accusation of 1516 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:16,240 Speaker 19: sexual misconduct is too many? Of course, are you committed 1517 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 19: to reviewing the Bureau's policies to ensure responsible responses to 1518 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:27,240 Speaker 19: credible allegations of misconduct that they are swift and adequately 1519 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:28,320 Speaker 19: protect victims. 1520 01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:29,719 Speaker 10: Yes, mister Chairman. 1521 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:35,879 Speaker 19: Relating to a similar subject during child crimes and sexual 1522 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 19: misconduct related investigations. Are any private sector companies less than 1523 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 19: cooperty with you? What improvements in information sharing need to 1524 01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 19: be made to catch those. 1525 01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 22: Criminals, Mister Chairman, We can always do better with their 1526 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,000 Speaker 22: private sector companies. I've reached out to the leaders of 1527 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 22: most of them, asking them to provide more material so 1528 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,680 Speaker 22: that we can be responsive and take legal action and 1529 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 22: protect the youth of this country. I'm happy to discuss 1530 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,160 Speaker 22: possible legislation that we can do to allow for these 1531 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:08,920 Speaker 22: companies to continue. 1532 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:14,080 Speaker 19: See maybe one inch up on the microphone. Sorry not 1533 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,360 Speaker 19: I think you're close enough, but I think it's just 1534 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,360 Speaker 19: a little bit lower. When you raise your head, it's 1535 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:26,000 Speaker 19: difficult to hear, Director Patel. Since twenty twenty one, I've 1536 01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 19: raised concerns about the Biden administration failure to properly vet 1537 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:36,120 Speaker 19: Afghan evacuees. Director Gabbard informed my office that as of 1538 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 19: August twenty twenty two, approximately sixteen undered evacuees located in 1539 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:47,520 Speaker 19: the United States had ties to terrorism and other derogatory information. 1540 01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 8: That's why I and many. 1541 01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:54,080 Speaker 19: Others have opposed bills giving blanket approval. Are you aware 1542 01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:58,640 Speaker 19: of what steps your predecessor took to investigate these evacuees 1543 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:02,400 Speaker 19: and what steps have you taken to investigate them and 1544 01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,800 Speaker 19: what if any national security concerns still exists. 1545 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 22: Mister Chairman, I can't speak to the steps my predecessor took, 1546 01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,400 Speaker 22: but I will make sure we do a sweeping review 1547 01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 22: and get back to you on that. As par of 1548 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:21,799 Speaker 22: the Afghan refugees and evacuees. During my tenure, we are 1549 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:25,040 Speaker 22: going through the databases to make sure that no known 1550 01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 22: or suspected terrorists enter this country to harm our nation. 1551 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 10: And also is my resolve as FBI Director. 1552 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 22: One of the first acts we undertook was a man 1553 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,600 Speaker 22: hunt of one of the Abvigate bombers and leaders in 1554 01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 22: that crime spree that killed thirteen brave Americans. And within 1555 01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,320 Speaker 22: two weeks, within two weeks, we caught one of the 1556 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 22: leaders of the Abbygate bomber and brought him to justice 1557 01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 22: here in two weeks from Pakistan. And so my commitment 1558 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:53,360 Speaker 22: to you on Afghanistan in all matters is complete and 1559 01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 22: without border. 1560 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 19: Through May and other investigations, we found that the Biden 1561 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:00,080 Speaker 19: administrate we. 1562 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,719 Speaker 8: Lost thousands of undocumented children. 1563 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:08,880 Speaker 19: We never heard a peep from senators wanting to help 1564 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,880 Speaker 19: find them, even after I invited them to do so. 1565 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:17,719 Speaker 19: In September twenty twenty five, the Trump Health and Human 1566 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:22,439 Speaker 19: Services announced the creation of an Interagency Crime Coordinators SELL 1567 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,880 Speaker 19: to find these and other miss missing children. That Interagency 1568 01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:35,480 Speaker 19: group report reportedly includes your agency. What resources and personnel 1569 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:40,080 Speaker 19: have the FBI assigned to this new interagency effort and 1570 01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:43,440 Speaker 19: what steps have the FBI taken to assist in locating 1571 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 19: missing children that the incompetent Biden administration lost. 1572 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,479 Speaker 22: Protecting our youth is maybe the top priority for the 1573 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:57,639 Speaker 22: FBI as it specifically relates to your question, mister Chairman. 1574 01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:01,160 Speaker 22: As I stated, we've searched resources not just to this cell, 1575 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 22: but across the nation to FBI's field office to locate 1576 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 22: children who have been trafficked, who have been victims of 1577 01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:10,960 Speaker 22: sexual abuse, and we have located forty seven hundred children 1578 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 22: in the seven months ince I have an FBI director, 1579 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,439 Speaker 22: and that is a thirty five percent increase from the 1580 01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 22: same time period last year. And we're not stopping, and 1581 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,360 Speaker 22: we're committed to doing that work on our tribal lands 1582 01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,920 Speaker 22: as well, and we are finding victims of child trafficking 1583 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 22: and child abuse every county, in every district, and we're 1584 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:27,479 Speaker 22: not going to stop. 1585 01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:28,439 Speaker 8: Okay. 1586 01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 19: As I mentioned during my opening, I'm releasing documents with 1587 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 19: Senator Johnson about Arctic frost. Specifically, the document show its 1588 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 19: scope expanded to include ninety two Republican organizations. From evidence 1589 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,120 Speaker 19: that I've seen, it looks to me like another political 1590 01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 19: hit job against Republican What steps is the SBI taken 1591 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:57,439 Speaker 19: to make sure improperly predicated investigations and weaponizations like this 1592 01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 19: don't happen again? 1593 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 22: The simple answer, mister Chairman, is the FBI will only 1594 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,760 Speaker 22: bring cases that are based in fact and law and 1595 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 22: have a legal basis to do so, and anyone that 1596 01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,280 Speaker 22: does otherwise will not be employed at the FBI. We 1597 01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:14,040 Speaker 22: are doing a prospective and retrospective analysis of individuals who 1598 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:17,040 Speaker 22: may have weaponized the Department and the agency, and as 1599 01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:19,240 Speaker 22: I've committed to you during my confirmation hearing and my 1600 01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:23,160 Speaker 22: conversations with you, this FBI will not be weaponized anymore 1601 01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:24,599 Speaker 22: in either side of the aisle. 1602 01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,280 Speaker 19: In June of this year, I raise concerns about the 1603 01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 19: FBI's use of restricted access and prohibited access systems. According 1604 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 19: to the FBI quote when search teams, when search teams 1605 01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:50,679 Speaker 19: that exist in a prohibited access status. Cases are searched 1606 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 19: in sentinel, the particular search will receive a false negative 1607 01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,000 Speaker 19: sentinel search response. 1608 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 8: End of quote.
