1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: FBI Director Christopher Ray refusing to not back the bad

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: policies of his own department. At the FBI, there was

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: a shocking interview that took place, and it was an

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: interview between Brett Baer and the FBI Director Chris Ray.

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions that were asked, and

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to go through some of them because this

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: is a very important conversation about the shock of the

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: FBI refusing to take accountability for some of their actions.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: We also, this interview comes at a time where there's

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: a pr crisis within the FBI, and that is because

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: the FBI is now polling at a record low. What

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: does Director Ray have to say in response to that

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: is even more astounding or just connected with total lack

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: of reality. Take a listen, orders. We appreciate you talking

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: to us, Absolutely happy to talk with you. Brother. You know,

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: polls show that the FPS reputation is at a real

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: record low. What do you make of that? Well, Look,

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: there are all sorts of opinions out there about the FBI,

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: just like there are about every major institution these days.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you that we're focused on the opinions

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: of the people. We actually do the work for and

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: the people we do the work with. And I look

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: at things like, for example, are recruiting the thousands and

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: thousands of Americans all across this country who are signing

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: up in droves to come work for the FBI. And

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: I should tell you, Brett on that front, a lot

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: of people don't know this. That number has gone up

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: dramatically over the last few years since I've been in

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: this It's really interesting. And that's at a time when

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: recruiting for law enforcement, as you may know, in general

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and law enforcement has struggled quite a bit. So you're

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: talking about young men and women in their late twenties,

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: early thirties, a lot of them with military and law

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: enforcement backgrounds, about percent of them with advanced degrees no less,

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: who are have a lot of choices in this job market,

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: and their choice to come to US, I think speaks

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: pretty darned loudly and profoundly about our reputation all across America.

38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Your critics say that some of these so let's just

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: get this straight. Let's let's break this down. Christopher Ray

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: is saying, I'm not worried about record low polling of

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the American people who do not trust the FBI, because

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of people that are signing up for

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: jobs that need jobs, good paying jobs at the FBI.

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: That is total delusionary thinking. There are a lot of

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: government agencies that have hit all time low and there

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: are people that will still work there and still take

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: their job. There are a lot of people that work

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and corrupt governments that are failures all over the country,

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: and there are people that still will take the jobs

50
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: because you get great benefits and it's incredible what you do.

51
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: By the way, the majority of FBI jobs are not

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: in washing in DC. They're not bureaucratic jobs. Their field

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: office jobs. There's people that are out in the field

54
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: that are doing amazing work which can be disconnected from

55
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: the politics of the FBI. But the best defense that

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: the FBI director could come up with is, well, there's

57
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: all sorts of opinions out there about the FBI who

58
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: just like there are about every major to institution these days.

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: So we're fine, you're not fine. It's a disaster with

60
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: the FBI right now, and then let's get into some

61
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: of the real problems with a director. The director had

62
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: some good things to say, for example, with the Wuhunt

63
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Institute of Virology. He is not backing down from their

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: assessment that the Wuhunt Instute of Virology is, in fact

65
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: where the origins of COVID nineteen come from in that

66
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: lab leak. Now, why wasn't he saying this louder and

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: earlier than he is right now? That's the other question,

68
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: and listen to how short his answer actually is. The

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: incident in Wuhan. Let me step back for a second.

72
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: You know, the FBI has folks, agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, etc.

73
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Who focused specifically on the dangers of biological threats. If

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: that is true, then why wasn't the FBI coming out

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: sooner instead of waiting for years to finally admit and

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: tell the American people in the blunt way this is

77
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: what we believe. Why were they not leading on that

78
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: issue if they had assessed not only from everything he

79
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: just mentioned, but also what he referenced there, and that

80
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: is their technology, right, the data that they have, the

81
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: top secret data, the classified documents. If this is how

82
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: they got to their assessment, why not tell the American people?

83
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: And this exactly back to the very first question. The

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: reason why Christopher Ray, the FBI director, deflected on the

85
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: question of the low pulling by boasting, well, there's a

86
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of people that are looking for jobs the FBI

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: is because he knows that the American people do not

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: trust the FBI on a litany of issues. And and

89
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: wu Han, yes he did give a good answer. There

90
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know. But where did

91
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the trust disappear? This all goes back to, well, multiple

92
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: different facets. It goes back to where their FBI informants

93
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: in January six, who is Ray Epps for example. Then

94
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: there was the other problem with the FBI. We now

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: know the FBI met on a regular basis with big

96
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: tech in social media companies to tell them what they

97
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: wanted and who they wanted a silence, and who they

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of, and who they wanted to

99
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: be banned and narratives that they want to be taken

100
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: down from big tech. The FBI was doing that all right.

101
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Before I get into that, I want to talk to

102
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: you real quick about our friends over at pay Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 1: that you're used to, but they actually are a company

111
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,080

122
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray was asked about the FBI and the fact

123
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: that they were involved in free speech issues, silencing Americans

124
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: who had committed no crimes, had done nothing wrong. They

125
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: were just a pain in the a double ass of

126
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: the Obama Biden administration or the Biden administration or in

127
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: the pain in the rear end to the FBI. And

128
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: you know what he had to say about it, Oh,

129
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: we never did that, even though there are emails from

130
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: FBI top level people to Twitter that are very clear

131
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: that that's exactly what they were doing. They didn't like something,

132
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: they just said, hey, guys, take it down. Suppressed silences. Listen,

133
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: carefully decide. Well, let's start with the laptop. The FBI

134
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: has had access to this laptop for more than three years.

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Why is this investigation on the Hunter Biden laptop taking

136
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: so long? Well, the investigation is being led, as you

137
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: may know, by a US attorney appointed in the last

138
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: administration out of Delaware, and the FBI is actively supporting

139
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and working with that US attorney on that investigation. But

140
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: the whistleblowers are telling these lawmakers that there was an

141
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: internal effort to shut down the investigation from the beginning.

142
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Have you found that, I have not found anything like that.

143
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about the FBI and what

144
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: you told Big Tech or some agents did about the

145
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: authenticity and providence of Hunter Biden's laptop. What about that?

146
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: From an FBI perspective, The FBI doesn't It is not

147
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: in the business of functioning. As the Truth Police understood,

148
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: we don't tell social media companies to censor anything. Well,

149
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: or the Twitter fun I suggests something different. I mean

150
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: there was an FBI request numerous times. Taiebe puts it

151
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: out FBI San Francisco request to ban certain accounts. Twitter

152
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: personnel in this case went on to look for reasons

153
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: to suspend all four accounts that the FBI wanted to

154
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: ban or suspend. Is it appropriate to flag social media

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: accounts on Twitter or elsewhere due to politics or government

156
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: policies when it comes to COVID? Is it appropriate anyway?

157
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: You're saying it doesn't happen, but there's evidence that it had.

158
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: We don't tell social media companies to ban accounts. Well,

159
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: you suggest. What we do is tell social media companies

160
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: about information that we have about foreign disinformation campaigns by

161
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: foreign actors by foreign intelligence services, and those companies done

162
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: make decisions about what, if anything, they want to do

163
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: about it. Last thing about one hundred Biden laptop. By

164
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: the way, he just vied to the American people. The

165
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: emails are very clear. Twitter personnel went on to look

166
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: for reasons to spend all four accounts the FBI wanted

167
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: to ban or suspend. So you cannot sit there and

168
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: tell me now all of a sudden that the FBI

169
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: are the good guys here, and then they weren't abusing

170
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: and silencing American to done nothing wrong and taking away

171
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: their free speech. He's like, no, no, we didn't do that. Yes,

172
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: you did. We have the emails. The Twitter files show this.

173
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: The Twitter files proved this. The Twitter files make it

174
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: obvious that this is exactly what has happened. I'll give

175
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you another example of where Christopher Ray still has not

176
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: been transparent. The issue Donald Trump. Donald Trump was spied on.

177
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: We know that his campaign was spied on. We know

178
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: that the FBI abused their power and trying to entrap people.

179
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: At the White House, they boasted about this. Yeah, these

180
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: guys are so trusting, right, these guys are so stupid

181
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: over there at the new Trump whiteoutse We just send

182
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: a couple of guys over That's the FBI director said,

183
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: James call me at the time. We just decided we'd

184
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: send a couple guys over, send a couple of guys over,

185
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: and maybe they're stupid enough, right, Maybe they're dumb enough

186
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: to talk, Maybe they are dumb enough to actually trust

187
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: us in, Sir General Flynn. General Flenn served his country

188
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: had no reason to believe that the FBI was coming

189
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: in trying to set him up. I think that's an

190
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: easier way of putting it. And what did he do.

191
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: He decided to do what anybody would do if you

192
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: didn't think you'd done anything wrong or anything wrong, you

193
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: thought you were helping out your government. They had questions,

194
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: you answered him. In reality, they were trying to entrap you.

195
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: That's what they were trying to do. That's a problem.

196
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: It's a really really, really really big problem. And that's

197
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Though they don't care. The FBI went rogue.

198
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: They were willing to lock up silence, shut down Twitter accounts,

199
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: shut down social media accounts all over the place. This

200
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: was These were people that were by the way, elected

201
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: by no one. Can we just talk about that they

202
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: were elected by no one who had the power to

203
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: literally shut down your life and put you in jail

204
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: and to frame you for crimes you didn't commit, just

205
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: like they did with General Flynn. So let's talk about

206
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: the classified documents probe into Donald Trump. We're gonna get

207
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: some straight answers into that mar Lago raid and Joe Biden.

208
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: Here's what you had to say about those issues on Fox,

209
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: about the dual system that conservatives point to the documents

210
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: investigation for former President Trump and the raid that happens

211
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: in mar Lago, that show of force in that way

212
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to the documents investigation for President Biden and

213
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: how that went down. You find out about those documents

214
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: before the November election. The FBI then does the search

215
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: of the House after that, but does not say anything

216
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: prior to the midterm election. So those two things are

217
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: stick in people's minds as different build differently. How do

218
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: you explain that? So, we have a long history of

219
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: handling investigations into the mishandling of classified information, and our

220
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: standard for approaching those investigations is the same no matter

221
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: who it is. Our basic approach is the same. That

222
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: approach means that we typically start with the least intrusive

223
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: means to try to retrieve the improperly stored classified information.

224
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: But if those less intrusive means don't work, and certainly

225
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: if they're frustrated in some way, then we adapt and

226
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: turn to other legal tools that we've been entrusted with.

227
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Are you at the table for that decision of how

228
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: it looks to go after a former president like the

229
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: way that it happened in more Lago. Well, I oversee

230
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,479
Speaker 1: the FBI. I expect any significant investigation to be conducted

231
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: by the book and I do that with adherence to

232
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: our rules, our policy sees our practices. Why didn't we

233
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: know anything about the FBI looking to President Biden prior

234
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: to the election. Well, again, I can't talk about specific

235
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: investigations that are ongoing, both of which are being led

236
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: by special counsel, other than to say it is not

237
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: our normal practice to discuss publicly specific investigations. All right,

238
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: So let's talk about by the book mark HOWK Pennsylvania?

239
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, does anybody believe this? I don't, And that

240
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: is what is so damning for this administration and for

241
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: this FBI. You know, he says in the classified document probe. Well,

242
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: our standard approach is the same no matter who it

243
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: is that's not true. The way that you would attack

244
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the way that you try to frame him,

245
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: the way that you guys refuse to tell the truth

246
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: the American people on a litany of issues. One of

247
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: those issues is on Russia collusion. You cannot forget that

248
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: the FBI knew that the Russian Colu story was a

249
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: hoax before anyone else knew it. Okay, they knew from

250
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the very beginning that it wasn't real. They had assessed

251
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: that it wasn't real. Everyone knew that it wasn't real,

252
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: and they went with it. They went with it. Why

253
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: because they didn't like Donald Trump. They did the same

254
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: thing with the Hunter Biden laptop. The Hunter Biden laptop

255
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: comes into them, they have a copy of it, and

256
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: they tried to actually classify it as disinformation, implying that

257
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't real, so that no one could actually investigate it.

258
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Tell me that's not a major problem, Tell me that's

259
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: not totally insane. And the FBI then comes out, looks

260
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: you straight in the face and says to you, oh, no,

261
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: we have the same standard of justice for those on

262
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: the right as we do on the left. You you

263
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: you helped a president be impeached by being silent with

264
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump when you knew the story was a lie. Okay,

265
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: you knew the story was a lie. And then when

266
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: it comes to the FBI looking into Hunter Biden, Joe Biden,

267
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: James Biden, you're completely silent. You don't say I have

268
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: anything to say, you have nothing to talk about. You're

269
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: just gonna sit there and act like it never happened.

270
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Sit there and act like, Oh, it's totally fine. I mean,

271
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: let's go to January the sixth. January the sixth was

272
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: a big day. January six was a day that Democrats

273
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: tried to use to imply that we were. There was

274
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: a massive insurrection and overthrow the government by unarmed people

275
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: at the Capitol. And there was a question that came

276
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: up after that, and the question was a simple one. Hey,

277
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: did you guys have the FBI informants or paid people

278
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: in that crowd to agitate that crowd, inspire that crowd

279
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to go into the capitol, Because the night before there

280
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: was a guy by the name of Ray Apps that

281
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: was trying to encourage people to knock down the barricades.

282
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: The next day and people started chanting, fed, fed, fed,

283
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: Why were they saying that why because the people in

284
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: the crowd knew that he was full of crap. The

285
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: FBI was lying. They knew this guy wasn't a real

286
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, and and they're like, this guy's are in

287
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: the federal government. This is an insider. When you look

288
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: at January the sixth, that day, overall, I think most

289
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: people feel like something wasn't right. And when Christopher Ray says,

290
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, when he responds to accusations or the FBI's

291
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: political bias, he says, quote, the FBI is on the

292
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: American people's side, That's just not true. Again, go back

293
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: to his quote, I hear these claims of politicalization, but

294
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: I can't tell you, but I can tell you that

295
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: the FBI is and is going to stay independent. That's

296
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: not true. You guys were silencing people on social media.

297
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: You were sending enemies lists to big tech to silence people.

298
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: You knew that Donald Trump had not done anything wrong

299
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: with Russia, and you allowed for that investigation and impeachment

300
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: to continue. You shut down, you silenced, You didn't say anything.

301
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: That's a problem. You could have stopped it. You knew

302
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: by the way that the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic

303
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: and real, and you had it, and you guys still

304
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: allowed for the media narrative to be pushed out there

305
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: to silence the story ahead of the election. Don't tell

306
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: me that you're unbiased. Don't tell me that you're trying

307
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: to tell us the truth. You're not. And the other

308
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: question is about January sixth, Hey, did you guys have

309
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: FBI informants in the crowd? Did you have activists in

310
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the crowd? Did you have people you're paying to help

311
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: advocate for riots in the crowd. There's a lot of evidence,

312
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: by the way, to point to this, and that's the

313
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: reason why this is a real question that was asked

314
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: by Brett Bear And listen to the director's response to

315
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: the Capital riot probe and the other Twitter question we

316
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: get a lot is did the FBI have undercover agents

317
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: or paid informants or assets among the mob that stormed

318
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: the capital in January sets Well, as I'm sure you

319
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: can appreciate, Brett, I can't really appropriately talk about when, where,

320
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: and how we use confidential informants. Is it classified? Well,

321
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: we have information that is about any number of topics

322
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: that is law enforcement sensitive. But you should not read

323
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: into my inability to answer a question because of my

324
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: obligations as that as a clue or a hint in

325
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: any way about how accurate your reader's tweet is. Final

326
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: word about the FBI, I mean, I mean, really, how

327
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: inaccurate or accurate your your reader is? Right? We have

328
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: information is that is about any number of topic and

329
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: that is law enforcement sensitive. So I can't tell you anything.

330
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: All right, let me just go back to when Center

331
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was questioning the FBI in a setting about rays.

332
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna tell you more about this in

333
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: a second, but I do need to tell you about

334
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: our friends at August of Precious Medals. If you've been

Speaker 1: telling you about a company that I actually use. I

339
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,240

00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: are different because they will even tell you if a

361
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: Ray Apps. If you don't know about Ray Apps, you're

362
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: about to learn about him. Rayapps was a guy that

363
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: many people believe was an FBI informant. Ray Apps a

364
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: guy that was trying to get the crowd jazzed up

365
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: the night before the Capitol Hill. You know riot and

366
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: was saying, we need to, you know, break down the barriers.

367
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: And people were like, dude, that guy's a FED, Like

368
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: that's not us, like as a FED And they started

369
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: calling saying that over and over again, fed fed FED.

370
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: And then the next day shows up and the next

371
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: day he goes over and whispers the guy. And immediately

372
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: right after he whispers the guy, five seconds later that

373
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: guy starts breaking down barriers. And then the FBI put

374
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: out pictures of people that were wanted they wanted a question,

375
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: they were involved in January the sixth, and Ray Epps

376
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: picture was up there. Well then people identified him as

377
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: Ray Apps, and all of a sudden, Ray Apps and

378
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: people wanting information to the FBI about him just disappears.

379
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: The FBI changes their information. Wanted to admit Ray Epps.

380
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: It's like, oh crap, that's our own guy. Oh shoot,

381
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: that's one of ours. Take all that down from the internet.

382
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: Take that down as fast as you can. So here

383
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: is again the FBI, one of their top individuals at

384
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the FBI asking this is about the questions about Ray

385
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Apps and has disappeared from the FBI's public posting and

386
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the fact that there's no public accountability for this, and

387
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the American people deserve to know if there was five

388
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: or ten, or twenty or one hundred people in that

389
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: January sixth insurrection that we're FBI paid informants that were

390
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: a part of it. Listen, Miss Sandburn, who is Ray Epps.

391
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm aware of the individual, Sir, I don't have the

392
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: specific background to him. Well, there are a lot of

393
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: people who are understandable about misters. On the night of

394
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: January fifth, twenty twenty one, EPs wandered around the crowd

395
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: that had gathered, and there's video out there of him

396
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: channing tomorrow, we need to get into the capital, into

397
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the capital. This was strange behavior, so strange that the

398
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: crowd began chanting fed fed, Fed, Fed, fed fed. Miss

399
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: Sandburn was Rayps fed? Sir, I cannot answer that question.

400
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: The next day, the next day, on January sixth, mister

401
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: ffs a scene whispering to a person, and five seconds later,

402
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: five seconds after he's whispering to a person, that same

403
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: person begins to forcibly tear down the barricades. Did mister

404
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: Epps urge them to tear down the barricades? Similar to

405
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: the other answers, I cannot answer that. Shortly thereafter, the

406
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: FBI put out a public posts listing seeking information on

407
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: individuals connected with violent crimes on January sixth. Among those

408
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: individuals in the bottom there is mister Epps. The FBI

409
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: publicly asked for information identifying offering cash rewards, leading information

410
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: leading for information leading to the arrest. This was posted,

411
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: and then sometime later, magically, mister Epps disappeared from the

412
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: public posting. According to public records, mister Epps has not

413
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: been charged with anything. No one's explained why a person

414
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: videoed urging people to go to the capitol, a person

415
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: whose conduct was so suspect the crowd believed he was

416
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: a fed would magically disappear from the list of people

417
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: the FBI was looking at, Miss Sandburn. A lot of

418
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: Americans are concerned that the federal government deliberately encouraged illegal

419
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: and violent conduct on January sixth. My question to you,

420
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: and this is this is not an ordinary law enforcement question.

421
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: This is a question of a public accountability. Did federal

422
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: agents are those in service a federal agent actively encourage

423
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: violent and criminal conduct on January sixth? Not, to my knowledge, sir,

424
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, Wow, can't answer that can't talk about that,

425
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: can't say anything about that. We're just gonna sit here

426
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: and act like it cannot happen. Four different times he

427
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: would tech crews just asked the FBI was Ray Apps

428
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: a fed? Ray Apps disappears from the FBI's public posting

429
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: Ray Apps. The guy that was, they were chanting at

430
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: him fed fed. I mean, these are all things the

431
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: FBI knows about, and they won't give us an answer.

432
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: But don't worry. They're non political. Were their FBI informants there?

433
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: How many? We can't answer that question, right, We cannot

434
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: do it. So why don't you do trust the FBI?

435
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: Right now? Let's go back to that answer. Well, because

436
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people want jobs with us, even on

437
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: issues that are non non political, I mean, like non political.

438
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: The FBI director couldn't even answer those questions. I'll give

439
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: you another example. Christopher Ray would not answer the question

440
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: if drug cartel should be designated as a terrorist organization now,

441
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: and that's a non political question. They're bringing fetnel over

442
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: the border at record numbers, enough fetnel to kill like

443
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: every American times four. The amount of fetnel that's coming

444
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: across the board, the amount of people that are dying.

445
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: The number one killer of young people right now in

446
00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: this country is fetnyl. Simple question, Does and show drug

447
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: cartels big designated as terrorist organizations? And can the FBI

448
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: give you a straight answer on that? No, but they

449
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: want you to wait. They're non political listen partners are

450
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: doing and that's unfortunate for everybody. It's on immigration. Do

451
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: you believe the cartels should be designated as terrorist organizations? Well,

452
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: I do believe that the cartels represent a significant threat,

453
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and we have hundreds The FBI has hundreds of investigations

454
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: that go into cartel leadership and I'm interested in all

455
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: appropriate legal tools that will help us go after them.

456
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: We are going after them. Obviously, we're not responsible for

457
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: the physical security at the border, but we recognize that

458
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: the threats emanating from the border are serious and we're

459
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: determined to do our part as a team effort to

460
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: combat those threats. We have field offices all across the

461
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: border that have made hundreds of arrest just last year.

462
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll just give you one example. You know,

463
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: our Albucay division, our New Mexico division, in one seizure

464
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: last fall, seized a million fentanyl pills as if that

465
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: weren't enough loads of methamphetamine, something like two million dollars

466
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: in cash, lots and lots of guns, ballistic vests, hand grenades,

467
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: those million pills. Think about that for a second. If

468
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: just one percent, one percent of those pills contained a

469
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: lethal dose, we're talking about thousands of American lives that

470
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: our folks and our partners saved that day. And that's

471
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: just one FBI field office in one seizure in one day.

472
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: We're doing scores of those investigations. So it's a significant

473
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: threat and we're determined to do our part. That's amazing,

474
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: And today we had this really emotional time. I love

475
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: how it is. That's amazing. Right, that's amazing. So you're

476
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: gonna are you gonna name them a terrist organization? I'm

477
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: not gonna. I'm not gonna name it these drug cartels,

478
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: terrace organizations. I'm not going to say that we should.

479
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: Why would I do that. I'm not gonna say anything

480
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: close to that. All right, make sure that you share

481

Speaker 1: this podcast about the FBI with your family and friends.
