1 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Good Inting, America, and welcome to the Tuesday edition of 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Justin News. No noise. We fold you there. We put 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: a different bump range just for this morning, just to 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: see if you were paying attention. All right, I'm your 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: Hostjohn Solomon, reporting you guys always from the Nation's capital, Washington, DC. 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: A busy, busy day. We're going to get you up 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: to speed in all the headlines. Let's start with Russia Gate. 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: The investigation is evolving quickly, and we hear at Justin 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: News have more info for you on this, this time 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: involving former acting CI director Mark Werel. Well, remember a 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: year or two ago we broke the story right here 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: on this show that Mike Morell was the guy that 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: organized the Hunderbiden laptop yep, saying that it was Russian 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: disinformation when it wasn't you know all about that? Well, 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: guess what our good reporter Jerry Dunleavy and I dug 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: up some new stuff. Guess what. It turns out that 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: Mike moral was also the guy out there in twenty sixteen, 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: he had just stepped down as acting CIA director and 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: Deputy director of the CIA, and he's out there pushing 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: the Russia Russian collusion hoaks for Hillary Clinton. In fact, 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: he used the most forward leaning language of anybody during 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election. He actually said that Donald Trump 23 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: was likely a Cremlin agent. It's a little bit further 24 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: than most other people, and even further than what Christopher 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: Steele said in his now debunked dussiid. But there he 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: is in the middle of it, and this helps us 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: all understand something really important. The same actors keep showing 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: up in the same pattern. That's why Cash Bettel, the 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: FBI director, opened up the Grand Conspiracy case in twenty sixteen. 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton has a problem she wants to get rid of. 31 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: Mike Merrell jumps in and makes it about Russia. Twenty 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's got a problem with Hunter Biden in his laptop, 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: and Mike Merrell jumps in again and makes that case. 34 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: That is why these things are connected, why we're spending 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: so much time on this show describing its significance. More 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: and more it becomes clear that the intelligence and law 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: enforcement apparatus of the United States were used to carry 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: out a political dirty trick, something that had not happened 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: in American's history. By the way, Nixon tried to do 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: it once in Watergate. In the second it came out 41 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: that the CIA was asked to maybe thwart this FBI. 42 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: Republicans turned on Richard Dixon, Weiner, Democrats going to turn 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden will see. Well, 44 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: that's that question. To our first guest, We got devenue 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: as a House Intelligence Committee chairman here. Before we turn 46 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: to that, one more piece of news. House Overside Committee 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: Chairman James Comer issued subpoenas today and there's some big 48 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: names on the list. This is for Jeffrey Epstein, Evidence, 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: Hillary and mill Clinton. They're on the list. So we're 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: three former attorney generals and two former FBI directors. This 51 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest lists of names we've seen 52 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: at any time for subpoenaing folks. We have more of 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: that at justinews dot com. An incredible time now to 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: turn to my amazing coost a menhead, You've got a 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: lot of other news you've been watching today, right, You've 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: been at the White House all day? Right? 57 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: Yes, And as I looked at yours and Jerry Dunleevey's reporting, 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: it's almost like Mike Morrell has a boilerplate trump Man 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: bad letter. Yeah, they wrote in twenty sixteen toward and 60 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: by the way, this same type numbers it was fifty 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: one with the Hunter Bible, were fifty ish with this letter. 62 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: It's like, I'm telling you, it's like this guy has 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: a boiler. Who else does he set letters about? 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: Swap the swap the details skill? 65 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: All right, So I want to stay on the Russiagate 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: grand jury story for just a moment because I couldn't 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: help noticing that the media wasn't very happy about it, 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: and they kept using the same talking points about it. 69 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: It's almost like points memo went around. Check it out. 70 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: These are unsubstantiated and largely debunked allegations by the Trump 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: administration that former President Barack Obama and his aides in 72 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: the intelligence community ordered a probe into the twenty sixteen 73 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: Trump campaign's connections to Russia to ruin his chances of 74 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: becoming president. Was trying to bring. 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: Up these unsubstantiated claims about the role he argues former 76 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: President Obama had in the twenty sixteen election. But it 77 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: really does bear repeating. This is looking into something for 78 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: which there is no evidence to back it up, and 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: it's really it seems a politically motivated move. 80 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 5: One thing that Trump administration is trying to do is 81 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 5: throw a bone to their supporters, many of whom believe 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 5: legitimately in their hearts that people involved in the Biden 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 5: and Obama administrations committee crimes and should be in prison. 84 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 6: They believe that there's no evidence to support that. 85 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 7: It's likely they're going to put it in Florida, which 86 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 7: means they're looking for a certain outcome out where the 87 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 7: facts actually drive you. 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: So again, this looks like weaponization. 89 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: What I tell you last night, I said, that's what 90 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: they're going to say. They're going to say it's in Florida, 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: and so it's rig But apparently all the evidence that 92 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: we have been bringing to you has been completely unsubstantiated 93 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: and there's no proof that anyone in the Obama administration 94 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: ever did anything wrong when dealing with the now completely 95 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: debunked Russian collusion narrative. It's absolutely amazing. And John, I 96 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: just keep thinking to myself, that's fine if you want 97 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: to say that it's not true and tell your viewers that, 98 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: and your supporter is that. But at the end of 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: the day, there's a grand jury likely down in Florida, 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: who's going to make that decision. 101 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: And those are the same media that Tota's Russia collusion 102 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: was true. I just want to point that out. I mean, 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up, folks. That's why Real 104 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: America's voice, just the news, truth social are all thriving today. 105 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: People can get truth around the legacy media who now 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: miss lead us. And we're very lucky to be joined 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: at the top of the show by a person who 108 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: is instrumental in unraveling Russia collusion. He was instrumental and 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: protecting free speech by helping President Trump create the Truth 110 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: Social platform, and today he's instrumental in helping the Intelligence 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: Committee reform itself from those incredible failures that we've been 112 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: chronicling here. He's the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, 113 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: former House Intelligence Committee Chairman, current CEO of the Trump 114 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: Media and Technology Group, and good friend of this show, 115 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Devin Newnez Congressman. 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 7: Good to have you back on there. Great to be 117 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 7: back with you guys. All right, sorry, I'm not there 118 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 7: in person. I know last time you were here, real 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 7: last time. 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 121 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 7: I hate to actually correct your reporting or add or 122 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 7: maybe add to your report please or maybe this is 123 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 7: a trivia question for you. So, Mike Morrell, who you 124 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 7: brought up right? Resting character John? But I think you 125 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 7: know this, but he actually has a prior involvement in 126 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 7: a scandal at a very high level. Do you know 127 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 7: which scandal that is? 128 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: I know? 129 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: All right, So I've got I got the letter. And 130 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: now Hillary Clinton's the Russia coclusion? Which one did I miss? 131 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: Being Gazzi being Ghazi? Of wow, I just say in Ghazi. 132 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 7: So Morell was the one who covered Leeby's the deputy 133 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 7: director of the CIA at the time, or he may 134 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 7: have been maybe in the White House as a National 135 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 7: Security advisor of some sort. But I that was one 136 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 7: of an early investigation. It's been now, I don't know, 137 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 7: thirteen years ago or whatever it's been. And he was 138 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 7: the one who ran cover, went out on on the 139 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 7: Sunday shows with a lot of the bogus talking points 140 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 7: along with Susan Rice. Video testified to our committee. So 141 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 7: this guy has a long history of using his positions 142 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 7: to help surprisingly Democrats. 143 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: I love that A good one, all right. I want 144 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: to ask you about that media sizzle that Amanda just played, 145 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: because none of what happened in the last decade would 146 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: have happened if the media weren't eight or in the betters, 147 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: had they challenged Clinton or Biden or the fifty one 148 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: letter writers or any of the other things, Jack Smith, 149 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: we might have had a different outcome in America because 150 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: media and culture drive a lot. When you hear that 151 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: reporting and they say no evidence, I swear I've read 152 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: some evidence in the last few weeks. 153 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 7: Am I missing some Well, you have to remember you 154 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 7: have to start out with is there is no media. 155 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 7: The legacy media in this country is solely owned by 156 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 7: the Democratic Party and the left, and they're moving farther 157 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 7: and farther to the left. I think in many cases 158 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 7: some economics has driven some of this, where a lot 159 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 7: of these news channels are no longer profitable. It's very 160 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 7: tough to make it in the news business, and so 161 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 7: you had groups like Fusion GPS that got stood up, 162 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 7: and you had these kind of alternative fake news developers 163 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 7: and cedars. They go out they developed fake stuff, they 164 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 7: seed it, they water it, they grow it, and then 165 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 7: they pay kind of the media that's left out there. 166 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 7: They're like the minions, and they go out and harvest 167 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 7: it and they just regurgitate it over and over and 168 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 7: over again. So what you're seeing is a combination of 169 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 7: a lot of facts, but basically it's the collapse of 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 7: the whole media complex. And you know, that's why I'm 171 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 7: always amazed at you know, Real America's Voice or the 172 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 7: other channels that are similar to Real America's Voice that 173 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 7: you know, people claim are right wing, are far right, 174 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 7: and I beg to differ a little bit. I think 175 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 7: this is probably these are probably some of the only 176 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 7: outlets where you can actually get real information and you 177 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 7: have you know, I don't I think Democrats for the 178 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 7: most part, John, you know, they don't go on Real 179 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 7: America's Voice, at least I'm not aware of it. I 180 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 7: think they sometimes they have reporters that chase them through 181 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 7: the halls of Congress, but they just don't don't participate. 182 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 7: So you have this bifurcated system, one of which is 183 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 7: small but mighty, meaning kind of the center ride and 184 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 7: the people that are on True Social the ones that 185 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 7: we have on Truth Plus, which is our new streaming app. 186 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 7: I urge everyone you can tie it to your True 187 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 7: Social account if you want. If you don't have a 188 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 7: True Social account, you can go and download it It's 189 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 7: on not only Apple but the app lap Store, Android, 190 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 7: but also on most televisions. And that's a plug, you know, 191 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 7: not just for our company, but really we built this 192 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 7: for you. 193 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: The president, President Trump. 194 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 7: We wanted to build this for people so that they 195 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 7: could they could use it and have access to news 196 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 7: because a lot of times the news channels that we 197 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 7: have you won't find them on on your typical cable TV. 198 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 7: So you can actually cut the cord. You can watch 199 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 7: John and Amanda anywhere you want to go at any time. 200 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 7: By the way, it's now global, so anywhere you go 201 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 7: you can watch Truth Plus and you have access to 202 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 7: this news that has been outright band or shadow band 203 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 7: from these legacy media channels. 204 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: So that's why. 205 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 7: So we're bifurcated in this in this country with what 206 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 7: I would say real news and people trying to get 207 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 7: to the real news, i e. You know you know 208 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 7: which you do, John at just the news every day, 209 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 7: and then you have this cabal of jackals and people 210 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 7: that are being paid for paid under the table, people 211 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 7: that are being bought free dinners in order to promote 212 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 7: a story. So John, they're really co conspirators in this. 213 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 7: Now when I say That doesn't mean that they are 214 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 7: going to be busted, you know, I doubt it, But 215 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 7: they were the recipient of illegal leaks of classified information. 216 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 7: Point one, General Flynn, that was a leak. I originally, 217 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 7: you know, came out and said, what the hell is 218 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 7: going on here? Back in early twenty seventeen. This is 219 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 7: right before all the Ica russiacrat stuff happened. 220 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: So these are massive leaks. What the hell's going on? 221 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 7: Like, why is in every FBI agent around in Washington, DC, 222 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 7: you know, trying to track down how these leaks of 223 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 7: an incoming administration are happening. So they were involved in 224 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 7: these illegal leaks classified information. 225 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: They just continued today. 226 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 7: I mean even recently, just in the Trump administration, you 227 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 7: had illegal leaks from the intelligence agencies that were designed 228 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 7: to armed President Trump. So there in lies where we 229 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 7: sit today. Thankfully, there is a grand jury investigation that 230 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 7: has begun and hopefully, and I know that there was 231 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 7: a strike force that was stood up by the Department 232 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 7: of Justice, and hopefully justice will be served to these criminals. 233 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 7: This has been criminal activity that has been ongoing. If 234 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 7: you want to go back all the way to Benghazi, right, 235 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 7: I can even take it as far back as that, 236 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 7: but for sure against President Trump. It started in late 237 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 7: twenty fifteen, for sure, early twenty sixteen. That was what 238 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: our investigation uncovered, was that it wasn't just the Steele dossier. 239 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 7: You may remember John and Manda. Through Lee Smith's reporting, 240 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 7: he actually found what we nicknamed I don't know if 241 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 7: there's really a name for him, but they were proto dossier, 242 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 7: and interesting enough, they weren't tying Trump to Putin, but 243 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 7: they were tying Trump to dirty oligarchs around the world, 244 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 7: all fake, all nonsense. And once that kind of failed 245 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 7: and stumbled, then they turned to weaponizing the FBI and 246 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 7: the CIA, as we know in around March or April 247 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 7: of twenty sixteen, and it culminates with the raid at 248 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 7: mar A Lago. So they were targeting President Trump and 249 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 7: have been for a very very long time. 250 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: A congressman, I loved John's very very keen comparison to 251 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: Nixon because you look back at that time and Nixon's 252 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: own party got to the point where they said, all right, 253 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: you weaponize intelligence agencies to bolster your claims, and we're out. 254 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: But Democrats have to believe the evidence before they can 255 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: even be given the chance to say we're in or 256 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: we're out. But because the media keeps selling this narrative 257 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: that it's not substantiated, disbelieving it, how do we get 258 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: to the point where Democrats can make an honest assessment 259 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: of it? 260 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 7: Well, first of all, the not to you know, correct 261 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 7: John for the second time during the show. But I 262 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 7: will just because I like him so much. But Nixon 263 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 7: is not a fair comparison what Nixon. I would compare 264 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 7: Nixon to, you know, a guy who got caught playing 265 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 7: a dirty political trick, you know, like a little boy 266 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 7: stealing a cookie or something and not telling his parents 267 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 7: and not coming, you know, forth with the truth. What 268 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 7: these guys are doing is like the Charles Manson of 269 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 7: politics and manipulation of intelligence and conspiracy. People have died, 270 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 7: people have been people have lost their livelihoods, people have 271 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 7: lost their careers, people have not been promoted, Families have 272 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 7: been destroyed, Finances have been wiped out, Millions of Americans 273 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 7: were kicked off of social media. News networks like Real 274 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 7: Marker's Voice were not allowed onto the legacy media platforms. 275 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 7: This damage is far and wide and has been ongoing 276 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 7: for a long time. So so Nixon is not even 277 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 7: a drop in the bucket to what this kind of 278 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 7: two or three dozen criminals in and around the Clinton operation, 279 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 7: the DNC, and Obama's operation, and Biden's operation for that matter, 280 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 7: have have been doing now for over a decade. 281 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said about 282 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: people done because there was no one died because the 283 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: Russia Gate, but actually that same intelligence machinery, which was 284 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: leaking really sensitive intelligence around law it did lead to 285 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: the loss of sensitive assets in the field for our 286 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: intelligence agencies. That's not a fake claim. We've lost people 287 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: in the field because of the leaky, creaky Obama and 288 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: Biden intelligence leads. Right. 289 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 7: Well, not only that, John, it also is I think 290 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 7: bigger than that, And it's a point that I've been making. 291 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: I think I made it a. 292 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 7: Couple of weeks ago when I was on your show, 293 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 7: and that is this the time that was taken away 294 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 7: from the FBI, the CIA, the Defense intelligence not focusing 295 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 7: on places like Ukraine and Russia and terrorists around the globe, 296 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 7: and you know, whether it be in China and China 297 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 7: for that matter, you know, all of that combined when 298 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 7: you have people not working, not doing their job, or 299 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 7: if they are working, their manipulating intelligence, or you keep 300 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 7: holding back great intelligence officers from doing their job. 301 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: You have the Congress completely. 302 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 7: You know, I was running a China investigation for many, 303 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 7: many years that got essentially derailed. We kept running that investigation, 304 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 7: largely ignored by the fake news media because they were 305 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 7: all fixated on the Russia hoax. But think of the 306 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 7: lives that have been lost just in the Russia Ukraine. 307 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 7: And I say this because I don't believe that Putin 308 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 7: invades Ukraine. Had these fools not went around and made 309 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 7: this crazy person out of Putin and basically accused Putin 310 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 7: of things that he wasn't doing in sixteen and seventeen 311 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 7: and eighteen and all that timeframe, that probably made him 312 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 7: even crazier than he is. And I say all that 313 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 7: because the fake news that may watch this, They probably won't, 314 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 7: but if they do, they'll say, oh, well, he's denying 315 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 7: that Putin is a problem. Know, you fools, go back 316 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 7: and look at the record. You were the first, one 317 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 7: of the only ones that aus Hilly was saying and 318 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 7: writing and going on places like CNN saying that Putin 319 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 7: was having his way. It was the largest intelligence failure 320 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 7: since nine to eleven two thousand and one, when did 321 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 7: I say that John and A. Manda Ironically in the 322 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 7: spring of twenty and sixteen, I said Putin was the 323 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 7: largest intelligence failure since nine eleven forig intelligence agencies, and 324 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 7: so bad things lead to bad things. And now you 325 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 7: have a million people or more just in Ukraine and 326 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 7: Russia that have died, not to mention on all the 327 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 7: other disasters that has created for the Department of Defense 328 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 7: and everywhere else around the world. And this is what 329 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 7: the Trump administration, with the President, has charged me with 330 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 7: our oversight board, to make sure that we are setting 331 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 7: policies in place that we are running investigations that will 332 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 7: clean up the DOJ, clean up the FBI, clean up 333 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 7: the CIA, and get them focused on doing their job 334 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 7: so that we can recruit young men and women that 335 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 7: ought to go into this and want to serve their 336 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 7: country and do it in a way that's honorable. 337 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: And the only way that. 338 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 7: This gets fixed, I believe, is if people are held 339 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 7: accountable for the nonsense that's been going on in the criminality. 340 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 7: I say nonsense, so that's too nice of a word. 341 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 7: The criminals need to be locked up, plain and simple. 342 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: Well, Grand jury is now going to be looking at that. 343 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: We're going to get some real results one way or 344 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: the other soon. Congressman, has always a great honor to 345 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: have you on. We always learned a lot. Thanks for 346 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: joining us sake.

It was fun, good stuff. 349 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: All right, folks, were gonna take a quicker bus for 350 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: break when we come back. Big steps being taken to 351 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: eliminate DEI and the government will explain. 352 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 8: That next after these messages, welcome back everybody to just 353 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 8: the news, no noise. 354 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: The Department of Justice made a huge move yesterday to 355 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 2: get rid of diversity, equity and inclusion policies in government, 356 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 2: ending a race based hiring decree that was supposed to 357 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: increase so called diversity in the workforce. But I'm pretty 358 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: sure in America you were not supposed to judge people 359 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: based on the color of their skin. But it seems 360 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: that the federal government had been doing that, and under 361 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: the Trump administration they are finally fixing the situation. So 362 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 2: joining us now to talk about that and much more 363 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: is Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US 364 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 2: Department of Justice. Her meet Dylan. Thanks so much for 365 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: being here. Great to see them, Thanks for having me. 366 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: How infectious was DEI in the government before Trump took over, 367 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: before you took over? People who care about rooting that 368 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: out and people who care about someone's character instead of 369 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: the color of their skin. 370 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 6: How bad was it? 371 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 9: Well, ob sessive laws passed by Congress and then bad 372 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 9: interpretations of those laws. What we now call it, THEI 373 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 9: has permeated virtually every aspect of our government, government contracting, 374 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 9: government hiring, the civil service tests that we're talking about, 375 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 9: voting rights issues, and more. 376 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 6: And so it has become. 377 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 9: Habitual for certain categories of people in this country rely 378 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 9: on race being used as a proxy for you know, 379 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 9: getting a special leg up. And as many Supreme Court 380 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 9: opinions have written, and even in dissense and Justice Thomas 381 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 9: is notorious for this, this concept is inconsistent with equal 382 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 9: protection in the Constitution. 383 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 6: And so we have the Constitution, which is. 384 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 9: Our super law, and it's at odds with our civil 385 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 9: rights laws in many ways. And so this is where 386 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 9: you're seeing a lot of very interesting decisions come to 387 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 9: the surface of the Supreme Court. 388 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so important, man, You mentioned Voting Rights, and I 389 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: think your division has been so so active and so 390 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: consequential in the first few months. Wisconsin put on notice 391 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: it may lose its funding if it doesn't start complying 392 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: with integrity laws. But the big brew haha in Texas 393 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: at the state House, where the Democrats have basically I've 394 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: sconned it and won't do their job, actually is triggered 395 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: by a letter you sent Texas telling him that some 396 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: of their districts were illegal. Tell us about that. 397 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, so I mentioned that the courts are beginning 398 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 9: to percolate these decisions that are striking down portions of 399 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 9: the precedents that have some would say required but certainly 400 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 9: enabled race based districting. 401 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 6: And so one of. 402 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 9: The flavors of race based districting that states have tried 403 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 9: to do over the years I've tried to do, because 404 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 9: I've been forced to do by PLAINUS minority groups plaintiffs, 405 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 9: is that you can combine multiple minority groups or count 406 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 9: on a certain white crossover group to a minority group 407 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 9: to make what's called a coalition minority district under Section 408 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 9: two of the Voting Rights Act. And in the Fifth Circuit, 409 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 9: which Texas as a part of There was a recent 410 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 9: decision in twenty twenty three that struck down this concept 411 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 9: of coalition districts, but left alive. 412 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 6: What is now being going to. 413 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 9: Be considered by the Supreme Court a sort of majority 414 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 9: minority district, but you have to have a single minority 415 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 9: that composes a majority. 416 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 6: Of that district. 417 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 9: I know that's a lot, but this is a very 418 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 9: convoluted area of the law. 419 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 6: So we took a look at. 420 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 9: Texas, and we found that four of their districts in 421 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 9: Texas are comprised to these so called coalition districts. In 422 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 9: other words, to get to a special minority district, you 423 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 9: have to add together multiple minorities or count on a 424 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 9: certain percentage of a crossover white vote. And this is 425 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 9: too complex, too weird, and too inconsistent. 426 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 6: With equal protection. 427 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 9: And so we wrote to Texas telling them that even 428 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 9: though that law had been struck down a couple of 429 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 9: years ago, their districts are now not in compliance with 430 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 9: the federal voting rights laws and so they needed to 431 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 9: take action. 432 00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 6: To fix them. 433 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 9: That is what triggered the Texas legislature and the Texas 434 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 9: governor to call the legislature into session to put. 435 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 6: New maps together. 436 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 9: And that is what caused all these Democrats to spite 437 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 9: flee the jurisdiction to avoid there being a quorum. And 438 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 9: so I think this is very interesting. You can see 439 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 9: that from the extreme reaction of certain people that they 440 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 9: are very concerned. And you've seen members of Congress come out, 441 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 9: and you've seen Governor Gavin Newsom from my former state 442 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 9: of California come out and trol governors of other states 443 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 9: over this, that this is an existential threat to the 444 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 9: seats that have been jerrymandered or minority congressional candidates who 445 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 9: get in there and then keep them for years. 446 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 6: And some of these districts stretch two hundred. 447 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 9: Miles and they go around multiple counties, and they cross 448 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 9: bodies of water, and they violate concepts in the voting 449 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 9: rights laws that have to do with compactness of districts, 450 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 9: contiguity of discs, and respect for political subdivisions. For example, 451 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 9: the types of lines that are drawn for state legislative districts. 452 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 9: These congressional monster districts that look like snakes, and they, 453 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 9: I mean, they're really quite ridiculous. And so the Supreme 454 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 9: Court is actually going to be taking up this issue 455 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 9: in one step further than the analysis I did for 456 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 9: that letter. And so really a lot is at stake 457 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 9: here in this voting rights area. 458 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: Huge. 459 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: I was at the White House about an hour ago 460 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 2: and President Trump was asked about this very issue, and 461 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: the question was posed to him, is it worth it 462 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: for Republicans to win out on this argument in Texas 463 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: and Republicans get five more electoral votes and seats in Congress, 464 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: or you have these other states, like you said, California, Massachusetts, 465 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: Illinois champing at the bit to Jerrymander even more so, 466 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: how do you reconcile that? 467 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 9: Well, that's a very interesting question. I don't know how 468 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 9: it's going to shake out. And that's actually not my 469 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 9: job in the Civil Rights Division. My job in the 470 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 9: Civil Rights Division. 471 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 6: Is non part is. 472 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 9: It is to understand and enforce the federal voting rights laws. 473 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 9: And so Justice Thomas's dissent from the recent punting of 474 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 9: a particular case that is now the center of attention here, 475 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 9: Louisiana versus Cala, really very sharply calls and to focus 476 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 9: the fact that the Court's interpretation of Section two of 477 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 9: the Voting Rights Act, which enables and some would say requires, 478 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 9: racial gerrymandering all over the United States, and not just 479 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 9: in Texas, in every state just about except for those 480 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 9: states that only have one district is directly at odds 481 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 9: with the Eco Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. 482 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 9: So it's interesting that in trying to remedy the vestiges 483 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 9: and the recent vestiges of slavery in our country which 484 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 9: brought us the equal Protection Clause, we've had these later 485 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 9: laws that are relying on extremely outdated concepts of now 486 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 9: completely banned for decades, tests like like you know, toll 487 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 9: taxes and literacy tests to become registered to vote. These 488 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 9: don't exist anymore in America, and yet we're still drawing 489 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 9: districts to remedy discrimination that hasn't existed for decades. And 490 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 9: so California may blithely betrolling other states over their lines, 491 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 9: but the fact is that California is rife with majority 492 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 9: minority districts that have been drawn their pet little districts 493 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 9: for some of the longest running members of Congress, and 494 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 9: all of these things. 495 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 6: Are threatened by the way whenever you get rid of these. 496 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 9: Types of districts, you're also of course affecting the districts 497 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 9: around them. And I was talking to a friend about this. 498 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 9: When Louisiana first passed this type of a district, they 499 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 9: were accused of an unholy alliance between Republicans who wanted, 500 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 9: you know, safe districts for themselves and you know, the 501 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 9: sort of civil rights lawyers who wanted safe minority districts. 502 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 9: You know, some would say both have safe districts in 503 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 9: that situation. But it's twenty twenty five in America today 504 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 9: and people could get elected on their merit. Nobody is 505 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 9: banning people are hindering people because of their race from 506 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 9: reaching the polls or from competing for office. And so 507 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 9: I think that's really the current concept is. I think 508 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 9: a Supreme Court's going to decide that this term, hopefully 509 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 9: whether as Section two of the Voting Rights Act any 510 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 9: longer permits or certainly requires racial jerry mandering. And so 511 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 9: Texas is just one example. I can tell you several 512 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 9: states have similar problems with their districts, and so we're 513 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 9: going to see a lot of this shakeout over the 514 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 9: coming months. 515 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: Will they be getting letters too, no comment, I think 516 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: we know what they watch for real Quickly, before we 517 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: let you go, I want to turn to something else 518 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: because we now know there's an investigation of what happened 519 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: during the twenty sixteen Russia Gate, maybe continuing all the 520 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: way into twenty twenty four. And a lot of times 521 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: I think people look at civil liberties and say, oh, 522 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: that's a civil issue. It only happens on the civil 523 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: side of the court system. But I know you can't 524 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: comment about the ongoing investigation, but in general, there are 525 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: instances where depriving someone of their civil liberties is a 526 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: criminal act, right, It's not just a civil enforcement. 527 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 6: Matter, well exactly. 528 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 9: And this again goes back to those Reconstruction era statutes 529 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 9: that sought to remedy the vestiges of racism, and we 530 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 9: had some terrible incidents in our country's history of law 531 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 9: enforcement officials conspiring to deprive African Americans of their civil rights. 532 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 9: And that is where some of these laws stem from. 533 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 9: But they're broader than that, and so it can be 534 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 9: a crime for government officials, either together or in conspiring 535 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 9: with non government officials, to violate people's civil rights. That's 536 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 9: also a civil violation. I've actually sued over that in 537 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 9: California for pro life activists, and you know, we have 538 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 9: long standing cases involving these issues, and so I think, 539 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 9: you know, government officials may think, because they nobody ever 540 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 9: bothers to enforce these statutes, that they're immune and they 541 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 9: can do whatever they want. Not so, and so I 542 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 9: think that's why you're seeing some people tongue in cheeks 543 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 9: saying that in DC is every lawyer is being retained 544 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 9: or retaining a lawyer themselves these days, as these investigations 545 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 9: have begun to hit the news wires, pretty. 546 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: Amazing, pretty amazing stuff ahead of us. 547 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: Harmine, I want to ask you about a little roun 548 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: case's not getting a ton of media attention, but I'm 549 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 2: sure that you've been following it. Chuck Gray, excuse me, 550 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 2: who serves as Wyoming Secretary of State? Just want a 551 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: big case against very well established and some would say 552 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: infamous Mark Elias, the Democrat lawyer, and they now have 553 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: what I think is the strongest US citizenship citizenship requirement 554 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: to vote in that state. Is this somewhat of a 555 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: prototype for other states and other states secretaries of state 556 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: to use in their. 557 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 9: Own So I was recused from that case here at 558 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 9: the Department of Justice because in my prior life, before 559 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 9: I joined the government, my law firm was actively involved 560 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 9: in that case. 561 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 6: But so now that it's over. 562 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 9: I think I can say I don't think anyone would 563 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 9: be surprised to know that As a long time election lawyer, 564 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 9: I fully stand in favor of election integrity, and there 565 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 9: are multiple reasons for that. 566 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 6: First of all, we don't want people cheating. But second, we. 567 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 9: Want all citizens of all political stripes and backgrounds to 568 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 9: have confidence in the outcome of elections, because we really 569 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 9: need that for people to pull together and work with 570 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 9: the government, whether whether they voted for it or not, 571 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 9: and feel like they're properly represented. And we don't have 572 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 9: that today in America. I think there's been so much 573 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 9: laxity that is occasioned by COVID loosening of rules that 574 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 9: became permanent in many states, and then just frankly laziness 575 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 9: on the part of many states and refusal to comply 576 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 9: with our federal civil rights laws that require list of 577 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 9: maintenance and certain procedures to be in place to help 578 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 9: citizens feel confident that errors are rectified. 579 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 6: That it's chaos. And so we are. 580 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 9: At the Civil Rights Division with our staff or going 581 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 9: through one by one writing letters to these jurisdictions asking 582 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 9: them to clean up their voter roles and make sure 583 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 9: they're complying with federal law. 584 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 6: But this law is something that states can do. They 585 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 6: don't have to do it. But states are beginning to 586 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 6: do this one by one. A lot of states are 587 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 6: doing this, and you know. 588 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 9: Democrats like Mark Elias activists have tried to prevent that, 589 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 9: saying that somehow requiring voter ID in twenty twenty five 590 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 9: is some kind of racism owning concept. This is ludicrous, 591 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 9: this is wrong, and I think you are going to 592 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 9: see a wave of state leaders who are and legislators 593 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 9: who favor election integrity and confidence of the voters in 594 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 9: the outcome of these elections, requiring a voter idea, and 595 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 9: it's a good development for democracy. 596 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: It's going to be very good to see Harmy Dillon, 597 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 2: Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice. 598 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for being here tonight. All right, everybody, 599 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: We're going to take it very quick break and we'll 600 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: be right back on the other side of these messages. 601 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody. For those who follow my career, you know, 602 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: one of the big stories I spent a lot of 603 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: time at the Associated Press was covering the Oklahoma City 604 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: bombing and some of the unanswered questions. In fact, some 605 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: of my stories prompted the FBI to reopen the case 606 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: around the time that Timothy Meekvay was executed, not because 607 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: he didn't commit it, but because maybe other co conspirators 608 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: weren't pursued aggressively enough. We're lucky to be joined by 609 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: right now, the former news director for America's Most one 610 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: of my favorite shows, Going Up. She's an award winning 611 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: journalist and author of the new book Blowback, which takes 612 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: a closer look at the FBI's role in the nineteen 613 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: ninety five Oklahoma City bombing. She is a good friend 614 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: Margaret Roberts. Margaret, good to have you on the show. 615 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 6: Thanks, John.

I think I know a 618 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: lot about Oklahoma City. I learned a ton about things 619 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know. This is an incredible contribution to the 620 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: record of what happened here, and I'm the thirty fan 621 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: anniversary of one of the deadliest stereotacs. Tell us what 622 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: inspired you to do it? 623 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 6: It was partly America's Most wanted. 624 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 10: John, I had that dual perspective. Like millions of Americans, 625 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 10: I witnessed in horror what happened on April nineteen, nineteen 626 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 10: ninety five, the devastation, the injuries, the deaths, and at 627 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 10: the same time having that America's most wanted experience. I 628 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 10: was also focused on the manhunt that immediately unspooled and 629 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 10: became the biggest manhunt in the world for the unknown 630 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 10: and never identified accomplice of Timothy mcveae who rode next 631 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 10: to him in the bomb truck and was seen by 632 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 10: twenty four eyewitnesses that morning as they headed for the 633 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 10: Mirror building and detonated that deadly bomb. 634 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible, so important, John and I, especially on 635 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: the show, but justin news, we truly value whistleblowers in 636 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: their contribution to transparency and fighting corruption. And I know 637 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 2: whistleblowers paid a big part, an integral part of your book. 638 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: Tell us about that. 639 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 6: They sure did, Amanda. 640 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 10: The first whistleblower of sorts was actually a member of 641 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 10: the Federal Grand Jury, a horse breeder named Hoppy Heidelberg 642 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 10: who was so disturbed by what was going on behind 643 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 10: closed doors that he went rogue and eventually wrote a 644 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 10: letter to the judge accusing the federal prosecutors of rigging 645 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 10: that grand jury by hiding the identity of John Doe two. 646 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 10: The next whistleblower of note was came a couple of 647 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 10: years later when an Oklahoma journalist found an a federal informant. 648 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 10: Her name was Carol Howe. She actually a few people 649 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 10: know this. She had actually been embedded in the bomb 650 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 10: plot a rural Oklahoma enclave called Eloheim City and was 651 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 10: warning her atf handlers for months in advance of the 652 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 10: bombing that a bombing was coming and that Oklahoma City 653 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 10: was on the short list. 654 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 6: Another whistleblower really comes. 655 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 10: Out at the end of my investigation, which believe it 656 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 10: or not, spans over twenty years, and this is John Matthews, 657 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 10: a top FBI operative in the nineteen nineties who came 658 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 10: forward to the primary source for my book. Who is 659 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 10: Jesse Trinidou, a lawyer in Salt Lake City and a marine. 660 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 10: And John Matthews, also a marine, came forward to tell 661 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 10: Jesse about pat Con and his years as a top 662 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 10: FBI spy against right wing extremists. 663 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 6: But his experience was that. 664 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 10: This program was basically inciting the violence that he had 665 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 10: signed on to stop, and so he left disillusioned. 666 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 6: Eight years later, I. 667 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: Remember talking to all of those extraordinary figures as I 668 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: was winding through my journey. You've done such a great 669 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: job of pulling it together. And people say, well, thirty 670 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: years later, why does it make a difference. But I 671 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: think there's a really important character in this book that 672 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people forget about. He later would become 673 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, but Merrek Garland was the key supervisor 674 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: of how this investigation unfolded, how it was controlled. Thirty 675 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: years later, where he's still facing some pretty serious questions 676 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: about his conduct. Talk a little bit about what you 677 00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: learned about him. 678 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 10: Absolutely well, he was the hands on manager of the 679 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 10: Lone Wolf prosecution and shaped that investigation from the beginning 680 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 10: to focus only on Timothy McVeigh and his role as 681 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 10: the mastermind and perpetrator nearly single handed of the crime, 682 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 10: when in fact, as our investigation reveals, and John Solomon 683 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 10: was central to this. In the early two thousands, this 684 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 10: neo Nazi bank robbery gang known as the Aryan Republican 685 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 10: Army come into view as suspect candidates, and they were 686 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 10: completely ignored. So it is quite noteworthy that after all 687 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 10: those years, when Merrick Garland became the Attorney. 688 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 6: General, he was you know, he announced that. 689 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 10: White supremacy was the gravest menace facing America. But when 690 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 10: you look back at pat Con, which the whistleblower John 691 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 10: Matthews revealed to our investigation, pat Con inciting the violence 692 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 10: that it was supposed to be stopping really raises the 693 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 10: question about manufactured terror and whether how Merrick Garland could 694 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 10: have traveled all that time of the latter of the 695 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 10: Justice Department and not have known about pat Con and 696 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 10: its actions. 697 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we let you go, Margaret. I want to make 698 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 2: one more connection because I hope I don't look real 699 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 2: silly here. I think the years were ninety two, ninety three, 700 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 2: and ninety five. You have these cluster of events that 701 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 2: draw in the FBI and bring in questions about the FBI. 702 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 2: This Waco and Ruby Ridge. Do we still have the 703 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 2: same problems in our intelligence community as we did back then, 704 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 2: and all with all the scandal that happened around those 705 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:11,959 Speaker 2: as well. 706 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 6: Well, it certainly appears that we do. 707 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 10: And that is one of the threads that we follow. 708 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 6: In my investigation. 709 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 10: You know, you see, we encountered suspected undercover informants in 710 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 10: numbers in this case, and it came to look a 711 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 10: lot more like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plot than the 712 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 10: government's case of lone wolf terror as it was prosecuted 713 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 10: against McVeigh, and as history books still tell us today. 714 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 10: Yet credibly people have looked at tragedies that ensued afterwards, 715 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 10: including the Boston marathon bombing and some other more recent events. 716 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 10: Just today, the talk of the town is Jeffrey Epstein. 717 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 6: Was he an FBI and format. 718 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 10: It's clear that this is a major problem, and yes, 719 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 10: it's it's still with us today. 720 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: That's why your book, Blowback is a must read.

Welcome back in America. All right, 735 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: we've had some great conversations. I want to before we 736 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: lose our train of thought. A couple of things we 737 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: picked up I wanted from on Oklahoma City. The FBI's 738 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: investigation was so bad under Merrick Garland that this little 739 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: reporter here found the missing explosives that the FBI missed. 740 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: There was all these blasting caps. They didn't know where 741 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: they were. They were sitting right in one of the 742 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: suspects home. I let him write to it just from 743 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: my reporting, and they found it. Had to raid the home, 744 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: scare the new owners of it, but there were blasting 745 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 1: caps sitting under their stairwell. Now they ever found it. 746 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: And my reporting stopped the execution of Tim mcgay for 747 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: a while, not because he was in he was a 748 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: bad dude, but because they had not given him Brady 749 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: material things that were required. That was Merrick Garland and 750 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: the FBI not a whole lots changed twenty thirty years later, 751 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: and they're crazy. I'm going all over I love the 752 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: questioning we did with Harmei Dillon, and I think I 753 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: just heard a big headline in that interview. People are 754 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: getting lawyers because it's possible it's Justice Department's going to 755 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: treat the government's actions as a criminal violation of civil liberties. 756 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people are thinking that 757 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: a month or two ago. I think of perjury and 758 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: our things criminal violation of civil liberty. You know what 759 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: that means, Democrats' favorite law, the Civil Rights Act in 760 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, the pews against the potentially against their actress. 761 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 2: Okay, I want to make another connection relate to what 762 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 2: we spoke to Devin Nuna's about. Because this letter signed 763 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 2: by the fifty one Intel officials that Mike Morell both 764 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: co authored and organized. Do you remember, I know you do. 765 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 2: Does our audience remember who called Mike Morell to thank 766 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 2: him for that letter? 767 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: Tony blnkeln Stever Vershetty oh Stever, Shettyny blaken Obsperred, the 768 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: identity went. 769 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 2: On to be's campaign chairman.

Yeah, too many connections. 771 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: It's Washington that it's worse.

Does that rise to criminality? I guess 775 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: we're going to find out. 776 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: And the same thing with both these letters washmrints repeat. 777 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: They get somebody to put the letter out there, and 778 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: in the case of twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton used it 779 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 2: to bolster the argument to bolster the Russia collusion narrative. 780 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 2: And then in twenty twenty, the same thing with the 781 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 2: hundredbyind laptop all. 782 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: Over in Watergate, Nixon loses them because the CIA is 783 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: asked to interffair of the FBI. In Russia Gate, the 784 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: opposite occurs. The FBI is forcing the CIA it's change 785 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: its intelligence community assessment and make a fake assessment, same abuse, 786 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: just in a different direction.

It's lovely to be back with you. 815 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 6: Guys. 816 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 12: Always wish it was under better circumstances, but I'm so 817 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 12: glad that we're able to be here and talk about 818 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 12: these very real stories that are happening to people. 819 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 6: Absolutely, because all over America. 820 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this Jerry Gurley story is scary, but 821 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 2: there are a lot of Jerry Gurlees out there. 822 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 823 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: You know. 824 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 12: The one thing that I like that the the attorney 825 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 12: talked about was, you know, him coming in and giving 826 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 12: a little ball offer. This is something that we are 827 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 12: seeing more and more, and you know, we have to 828 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 12: deal with all these scams on a daily basis regardless, Right, 829 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 12: I get probably fifteen calls a day from numbers that 830 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 12: I don't know and don't recognize. But now we're getting 831 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 12: these scams where people in the industry that are actually 832 00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 12: doing this professionally are approaching homeowners. And my personal opinion, 833 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 12: we don't know this for sure. This is all alleged, 834 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 12: but I don't even think that Jerry Gurley ever attempted 835 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 12: to even purchase their home. The attorney says he gave 836 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 12: them a lobal Offer. I think that this was his 837 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 12: way of getting in on talking to the family, seeing 838 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 12: what their family dynamic is like, figuring out what happened. 839 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 6: After the dad's death. 840 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 12: He approached them two years after the father had died 841 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 12: and they inherited the home. And most people aren't thinking, Oh, 842 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 12: this person's out to scam me when there's someone in 843 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 12: the industry that does this for a living, right terrifying. 844 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 12: Now we have to worry about people that are you know, 845 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 12: actually real estate locals and lawyers and attorneys and community 846 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 12: organizers like that that community organizer in Detroit. 847 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 6: Who do we trust anymore? 848 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really a big deal. The insider threat is 849 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: real on this, and these criminals are picking off their 850 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: friends now and trying to get them in. What happens 851 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: in that case, is there a criminal prosecution or civil 852 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: What happens to make sure that some accountability finally happened there. 853 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 12: So we can actually use this story as a really 854 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 12: good example. Unfortunately, there is no title theft crime on 855 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 12: the books right. If someone gets arrested for this, generally 856 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 12: they're charged with something like wire transfer or identity theft 857 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 12: or something like that. Luckily, in some states like New York. 858 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 12: Last year they finally passed the law that made it 859 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 12: a grand larceny charge. But this is not the case 860 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 12: in every state. So unfortunately with this example, and I 861 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 12: think it didn't get played in the actual clip, but 862 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 12: what happened with this family was Jerry Gurley transferred it 863 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 12: into his name, He sold the property behind their back, 864 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 12: and this company that thought that they had purchased this 865 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 12: property for gentrification purposes legally went and actually bulldozed this 866 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 12: family home. So I don't think we covered that in 867 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,720 Speaker 12: the beginning. Their home is gone, sixty years of memory, 868 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 12: is a family legacy. 869 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 6: It's gone. 870 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 12: So they went after this guy civilly because it was 871 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 12: a paperwork issue, right, they were able to get a 872 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 12: civil settlement of about two hundred thousand dollars, But as 873 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 12: of when this report came out, he has paid the 874 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 12: family nothing. The amount he owes is up to two 875 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,240 Speaker 12: hundred and eighty thousand dollars with interest. And so basically 876 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 12: what happens is this family's house and memories and you know, 877 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 12: financial future is gone. They're owed two hundred thousand dollars 878 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 12: and this guy is getting off with a slap on 879 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 12: the wrist and allegedly he's been charged with multiple accounts 880 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 12: of a similar thing over the past decade, so this 881 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 12: isn't even the first time it's happened, but no criminal 882 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 12: charges have been placed. 883 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, a two hundred thousand dollars. I'm quite sure that 884 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 2: the home is actually worth more than that. But if 885 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 2: this family had had home title lock, where in the 886 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,800 Speaker 2: process would this have gotten stopped? 887 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 12: Oh, as soon as something is filed with the county 888 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 12: and they've done their thing, they've taken the paperwork, they've 889 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 12: indexed it. What happens is if you were a home 890 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 12: title lock subscriber. Right, the beauty of our million dollar 891 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 12: our triple off protection is is monitoring, alerts and then restoration. 892 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 12: So the monitoring part is really important because a lot 893 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 12: of people tend to think, oh, well, I have you know, 894 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 12: identity theft protection or credit monitoring or whatever. So if 895 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 12: something were to happen to me, it's going to hit that. 896 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 12: But we monitor the property, not the person. So if 897 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,919 Speaker 12: someone like Jerry Gurley comes along and tries to sell 898 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,919 Speaker 12: your house or take out a loan against it, that's 899 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 12: not going to be hitting your credit because the house 900 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 12: is no longer in your name. So we monitor the property. 901 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 12: If we were monitoring this home the moment that paperwork 902 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 12: was filed and processed, you guys would be getting a 903 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 12: notification of that. So we would have been able to 904 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 12: jump in and fix everything with our restoration team and 905 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 12: put a stop to it before the house ever got 906 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 12: a chance to sell. It would have been put to 907 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:48,320 Speaker 12: a stop. 908 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,959 Speaker 1: Wow. Pretty powerful, all right. We know from the FBI 909 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 1: agents that we brought on the show over the years 910 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: and Matt and others who were involved in the creating 911 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: of this crime is growing by the day. AI is 912 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: going to make it worse, isn't it? 913 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 12: Absolutely AI. You know, we talk about this all the 914 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 12: time post COVID. Jim dennahe who is a now retired 915 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 12: former FBI fed last year that in the four years 916 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 12: since COVID, vacant property fraud alone raised five hundred percent. 917 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 12: Everything can be done online now via after COVID, you 918 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 12: can sell your house without ever meeting a buyer, a notary, 919 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 12: anyone in person. You can do all of that online. 920 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is a crime that is already so 921 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 2: much bigger than people realize, and with the advent of AI, 922 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 2: it's going to explode even worse.
