1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Wow, what explosive hearings in the House Judiciary Committee today

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: as they had very at times contentious exchanges over whistleblower testimony.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: And you know, it's amazing Democrats all of a sudden,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: they don't like whistleblowers anymore, they don't trust whistleblowers, They

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: want punitive actions against whistleblowers. And what these guys are

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: saying this is the weaponization hearings run by Jim Jordan.

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: And they had four specific whistleblowers today, Garrett O'Boyle, special

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Agent Steve Friend, who will join us on this program

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: a little later in the program today, whistleblower former FBI

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: special Agent Marcus Allen, whistleblower FBI Operations specialist Tristan Levitt,

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: a president in Power Oversight, former member of the US

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Merit System Protection Board testimony, and more importantly, the methods

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: under which the FBI took You know, we have whistleblower

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: law protections in this program in this country. Apparently they

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: don't matter anymore. They don't seem to matter at all.

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: And all the Democrats wanted to do is was grill

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: FBI agents over a tweet that might show that they

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: have a political point of view that might not be theirs,

19
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: and this is what we have. Anyway, the subcommittee investigating

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: all of this witnesses saying the FBI is a double

21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: standard for what merits investigation, and one of the agents

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: said that the FBI departed from the standard procedures put

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: a heavy focus on investigating cases involving January sixth, twenty

24
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: twenty one. By the way, where are all the arrests

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: with all the video evidence that we have of the

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer of

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty that injured thousands of cops, killed dozens of Americans,

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: and created billions of dollars in property damage? Where's where

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: are those? Where's the intensity from the FBI there? They

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: also claim that FBI leadership told them to inflate statists

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: dealing with domestic and violent extremism and now explains a lot.

32
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: Explains you know, how they handled Supreme Court justices. It

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: explain explains how they handled tiger moms like Linda that

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: go to school board meetings and dare to question the

35
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: age appropriateness of some of the materials being taught their

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: kids and the priorities of varying school districts. You know,

37
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty unbelievable. I'll go through some of these whistleblowers.

38
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: One guy named Marcus Allen. He said quote, alternative analysis

39
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: and different viewpoints should be welcomed even though they are

40
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: not but ultimately acted upon by actual makers. He said,

41
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: groupthink should not be an ethos champion in an investigative organization.

42
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: To shut down differing viewpoints is the end of any

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: analytical or investigative body, and it sends a chilling effect

44
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: across the workforce. It does not allow for intellectual freedom,

45
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: which is vital any investigative body seeking out truth. It

46
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: is possible the ire again towards my perspective, could have

47
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: been due to folks wanting to maintain invincible arrogance instead

48
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: of consciously mentally transferring over to willful ignorance. My treatment,

49
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: without a doubt, is an FBI whistleblower has sent a

50
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: chilling effect through what semblance remains of an analytical cadre.

51
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: This was not a thorough investigation. In my regard, I

52
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: have not been afforded an opportunity to properly defend myself

53
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: or confront claims made against me. Now a light of

54
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the Durham report coming out this week about how Crossfire

55
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Hurricane never should have ever begun, and then all of

56
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: the actions taken and how they treated one candidate, their

57
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: favorite candidate, Hillary Clinton, with kid gloves, and they used

58
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: the full power might of the FBI and all their

59
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: subpoena tools available to them, including lying on PISA applications

60
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: as a means of going after these people. You have

61
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: one guy, Garrett Boyle, FBI whistleblower suspended. You know, it's

62
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: up to members of this committee, current and former FBI employees,

63
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: and indeed all Americans to ensure that the weaponization of

64
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: our own government against the people comes to an end,

65
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: no matter what the personal cost. And by the way,

66
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: the cost for all of these whistleblowers is that's it.

67
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: Their careers are over. Many have been suspended, many have

68
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: been put you know, iced out, Many will no longer

69
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: have a career in the FBI. He said the safeguards

70
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: currently in place that the FBI clearly are inadequate and

71
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: must be reworked to protect whistleblowers and others who are

72
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: inappropriately targeted. He says that he was transferred across the

73
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: country only to be suspended on his first day. The

74
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: FBI's actions forced his family to beg borrow warm codes

75
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: for their kids because they're family's belongings were locked in

76
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: an FBI controlled storage facility.

77
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: Quote.

78
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: So, one of the examples given in congressional letter included

79
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: an example where a neighbor or someone or somehow someone

80
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: knew a parent that they believed was extreme, and so

81
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: they called the FBI and reported that parent to the FBI.

82
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: He said, when the citizens in this country get to

83
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: a point that they can call the most powerful law

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: enforcement agency in the world on their neighbor just because

85
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: they disagree with them, that is a chilling. That is

86
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: chilling to the First Amendment rights of the people who

87
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: are getting the FBI called on them. And then he

88
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: had the question, and what you've done is exactly what

89
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: the federal law requires you to do, right, And isn't

90
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: it true that once the FBI found out you spoke

91
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: to Congress, your security clearance was suspended. Yes, I believe

92
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: that's what happened. I'm going to play some of this

93
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: testimony later. I'm just telling you some of the highlights here. Now,

94
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: question what was the effect, what effect is that this

95
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: had on your ability to provide for your young family.

96
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 2: Answer.

97
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I've since had to rely on charity because the FBI

98
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: stopped paying me and there's no other way for me

99
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: to make a living.

100
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: He says.

101
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: I know from other whistleblowers that they routinely deny them

102
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: the ability to get outside employment, and that as a

103
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: special you could only make seventy five hundred dollars a

104
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: year outside of your government's salary. So they can't even

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: live their lives anymore, you know. Another one, Gates played

106
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: the video of George Hill, who worked at the Boston

107
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Field office.

108
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: You know.

109
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: He alleges that there were confidential human sources and FBI

110
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: informants in the Capitol on January sixth. Show us where

111
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: inside the capitol. We'll look into it, to which the

112
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Washington Field Office says, well, we can't show you those

113
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: videos unless you're tell us the exact time and place

114
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: those individuals were inside the capitol, to which they responded back,

115
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: And I was privy to those conversations firsthand.

116
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Why can't you show us?

117
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: Why can't you just send us back give us access

118
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: to eleven thousand hours of video that's available because there

119
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: may be undercover officers or see confidential human sources on

120
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: those videos that whose identity we need to protect. Wow,

121
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Steven Friend, he'll be a guest on the show. He's

122
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: been suspended, says the FBI retaliated against him after how

123
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: he exposed the bureau was working with numbers on domestic

124
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: violent extremist cases. So the FBI decided it was more

125
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: important to have you in the parking lot of a

126
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: school board meeting than getting worst of the worst of

127
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: the worst from people that they could harm. Correct, they

128
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: got into the whole January sixth this year too. You know,

129
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: remember we can go back and we covered it on

130
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the show. And by the way, the former Capitol Police

131
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Chief Sun is going to be on at the top

132
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: of the next hour. But remember all of the times

133
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: that he personally in the days leading up to January sixth,

134
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: was requesting the National Guard.

135
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: That story never got told. Why not?

136
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Why didn't they listen to the capitol police chiefs. You know,

137
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: there's only been ten in total Capitol police chiefs in

138
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: the history of this country.

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: That's it.

140
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: And if the Capitol police chief says that they have

141
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: intelligence that indicates that this day may be a problem

142
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: and they want to be prepared for it, and he

143
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: gets totally, completely and utterly ignored and then basically pushed

144
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: out and retired. Or the fact that you know we

145
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: have on tape January third, President Trump said it to me.

146
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: His chief of staff, Mark Meadow said it to me.

147
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: The Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller said it to me.

148
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: His chief of staff Cash Betel said it to me.

149
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: That they all talked about on January third, the need

150
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: for National Guard troops in coming days leading up to

151
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: January sixth, and then of course finally this year in January,

152
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: Lester Holt, I mean a little late, better late than ever,

153
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: I guess, but reported that federal law enforcement could have

154
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: prevented January sixth because they had actionable intelligence and the

155
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: police chief himself talking about the delaying getting the National

156
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: Guard to the capitol for help.

157
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: Now this do you understand? And then what a Democrats do?

158
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: They start smearing and slandering the whistleblowers. Aren't these the

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: same people that love whistleblowers. Here say whistleblowers, not here

160
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: say whistleblowers. But oh they'll love whistleblowers. Only whistleblowers that

161
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: are going after Donald Trump were going after a Republican

162
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: because Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others on the committee. But

163
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,239
Speaker 1: it had with Jim Jordan over the testimony of witnesses.

164
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not aware that you're able to withhold

165
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: information from the minority that we need to use, she said,

166
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: before being cut off by Jordan. When it comes to whistleblowers,

167
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: you are not entitled, short and set. There's a pretty

168
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: good exchange. We've got some of this on table, play

169
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: it later. And then having to remind her and I

170
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: told you that when it comes to whistleblowers, you're not entitled.

171
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: It is the discretion of mister Allen, Jordan said, and

172
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: the law decides. Did you not listen to the testimony?

173
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: I mean, pretty amazing moments that took place here. One

174
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: whistleblower details the FBI's attempt to punish him for speaking out.

175
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: This is Garrett O'Boyle saying targeted by the FBI and

176
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: their smear campaign made it impossible for him to do

177
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: his job, devastated his family financially. I couldn't knowingly and

178
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: silently continue on this path without speaking out against all

179
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: the weaponization that I witnessed. All I wanted to do

180
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: was serve my country by stopping bad guys and protecting

181
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the innocent. And to my chagrin, bad guys have begun

182
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: running parts of the government, making it difficult to continue

183
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: to serve this nation. And he says, many in the

184
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: FBI see what becomes of whistleblowers. How the FBI destroys

185
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: their careers, suspends them under false pretenses, takes their security

186
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: clearance and pay with no true options for real recourse

187
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: or remedy.

188
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: This is by design.

189
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: It creates an Orwellian atmosphere, and it silences all opposition

190
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: and discussion. He said that the bureau's retaliation left his

191
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: family destitute. He said, the FBI will crush you. The

192
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: government will crush you in your family if you try

193
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: to expose the truth about things that they are doing wrong. Wow,

194
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: the FBI targeted these pro life groups. They targeted tiger

195
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: moms at school board meetings, you know, in particular, the

196
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: Catholics and parents attending these meetings with investigators and investigations

197
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: into an effort to impiltrate, you know, with the sense

198
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: that they were a domestic terrorism threat. Okay, they're begging

199
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: keep your gender identity classes away for my first, second,

200
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: and third grader and we think you should focus on reading, writing, math,

201
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: science and arithmetic and computers and not on gender identity,

202
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: human section, usuality and CRT. That's what parents by and

203
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: large have been saying. Do some get a little heated?

204
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

205
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Is this an FBI issue? No, that would be an

206
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: issue for local law enforcement if he got out of hand.

207
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Jordan said, if you're a parent attending a school board meeting,

208
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: in your pro life, praying at a clinic, or you're

209
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: a Catholic simply going to mass, you're a target of

210
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: this government, a target of this FBI, adding that officials

211
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: attempted to inflate their investigations to treat them as domestic

212
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: and violent extremist cases. Jordan says his committee spoke with

213
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: over two dozen whistleblowers in compiling his report. Matt Gates

214
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: detailed whistleblower claims of the Washington d C. Field Office

215
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: is the source of much of the rot within the organization. Quote,

216
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: A lot of the rot the committee has learned emerges

217
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: out of the headquarters from the Washington Field office. A

218
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: whistleblower described the conflict that existed at the Washington Field office,

219
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: and they put pressure on other field offices around the

220
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: country to engage in law enforcement work without predication. Wow,

221
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: many agencies. Now it's an Owellian atmosphere that silences opposition. Okay,

222
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: does the do you think anyone cares? The FBI, by

223
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: the way illegally obtained we learned today bank records to

224
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: search for anybody that attended the January sixth rally. Oh

225
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: why follow the rule of law? What about miranda rights?

226
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: What about uh? You know, having giving somebody the right

227
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: to remain silent, you just now get free access to

228
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: their bank accounts.

229
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I've been smeared as a malcontent and subpar FBI employee.

230
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: This smear stands in start contrasts in my life in

231
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: public service. This smear campaign, disgusting as it is, is unsurprising.

232
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: Despite our oath to uphold the constitution, too many and

233
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: the FBI aren't willing to sacrifice for the hard right

234
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: over the easy wrong. They see what becomes of whistleblowers.

235
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,119
Speaker 4: How the FBI destroys their careers, suspends them under false pretenses,

236
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: takes their security clearances, and pay with no true options

237
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: for real recourse or remedy. This is by design. It

238
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences, opposition and discussion. We

239
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: know what is right to do, it would too often

240
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: refuse to do what is right because the difficulty in

241
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: suffering it incurs. I couldn't knowingly continue on this path

242
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: silently without speaking out against the weaponization I witnessed, even

243
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 4: if it meant losing my job, my career, my livelihood,

244
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: my family's home, and now my anonymity. It's up to

245
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: members of this committee, current and former FBI employees, and

246
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: indeed all Americans to ensure that the weaponization of our

247
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: own government against the people comes to an end, no

248
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: matter of the personal cost.

249
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: That was Garrett Boyle him being an FBI I'm sorry,

250
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: what's that, Garrett O'Boyle Sorry, oh boy oh Boyle. Anyway,

251
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: he was testifying one of the whistleblowers today about the

252
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: smear campaign. Well, come back, we have the other news

253
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: of the day as well. Hit this hard with others

254
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: at the As the show progresses today, one of the

255
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: whistleblowers joins us hi twenty five to the top of

256
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the hour, thank you for being with us. Let me

257
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: play for you a cut here of Steve Friend, who's

258
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: going to join us later in the program. Now at

259
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: the top of the next hour, we have the former

260
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Capitol police chief in January sixth came up a lot

261
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: and how those hearings and everything involved in the investigation

262
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: was politicized. Now, this is information that we have told

263
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: you repeatedly. And you know, for example, I understand Liz

264
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Cheney and company wanted to get their pound of flesh

265
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump and blame Donald Trump, and we got

266
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: plenty of that in all of this, but we also

267
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: add other there's a lot more texture context to that

268
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: story that nobody ever wanted to talk about. You know,

269
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump wanted an insurrection, you have to ask

270
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: the question, then why was he, according to five people

271
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: in the Oval office, you know, days before January sixth,

272
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: talking about calling up the guard and having them available

273
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: with so many people coming to town. That doesn't make

274
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: sense that he would do that. Let me play the

275
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,119
Speaker 1: lester Holt report, because you know this was not highlighted

276
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: during the January sixth committee hearings. What did I say

277
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: about those hearings? They had a pre determined outcome. Okay,

278
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: politically you want to go after Trump. Find here's what

279
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity though that was missed here. This is a

280
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: very important point. The opportunity was we cannot have just

281
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: like in the summer of twenty twenty, that we did

282
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: nothing to prosecute, and we have all the videotape evidence

283
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: in the world, the five hundred and seventy four people,

284
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: or the five hundred and seventy four riots, where we

285
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: have video of people involved in you know, hurling rocks

286
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: and bottles and molotov cocktails and bricks the police officers.

287
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, we have video of people, you know, rummaging

288
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: through and robbing stores and setting him on fire. Those

289
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: people have not been held accountable. Or the dozen two

290
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: dozen Americans that died in the summer of twenty twenty.

291
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: Now there wasn't a committee looking into those riots. But

292
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the sad opportunity that was missed here is that we've

293
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: got to make sure something like that never happens again.

294
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: And that means in our cities in the summer of

295
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and that means our capital. Got to protect

296
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: our institutions, You got to protect our elected officials. You

297
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: can't have something like that happen ever again. Period end

298
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: of sentence. You know, it took NBC News until January

299
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: of this year to figure out we had known a

300
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: long time, because you know, again the Capitol police chief,

301
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: they never asked for the Capitol police chiefs. They didn't

302
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: want his They spoke with him briefly, they minimized his testimony.

303
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: He was the one asking for the National Guard in

304
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: the days leading up to January sixth and that day

305
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: and denied. They didn't look into the head of security

306
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: for the House, Nancy Pelosi, her text messages, our emails,

307
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: our phone records. No, they didn't do any of that.

308
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: They didn't talk to Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington,

309
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: DC yan writing she denied Guard troops if anybody wanted

310
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: to call them up. Why did all that happen? And then,

311
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: of course we learn that in fact, there was actionable

312
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: intelligence that had been followed up on with law enforcement

313
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: likely would have prevented this day from ever happening. It's

314
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: not me ge for reporting this. This is NBC and

315
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: Lester Holt.

316
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: Now to our NBC News exclusive. The January sixth Committee's

317
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 5: final report was more than eight hundred pages, but some

318
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 5: material did not make the cut, including much of its

319
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 5: findings on the failures of federal law enforcement leading up

320
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 5: to the attack.

321
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: The Chief investigator of the January sixth Committee says the

322
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 6: government could have prevented it had law enforcement agencies acted

323
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 6: un the available intelligence. Do you believe the attack on

324
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 6: the Capitol could have been successfully repelled?

325
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 7: Been a lot different had law enforcement taken a more

326
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 7: assertive protective posture. The intel in advance was pretty specific,

327
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 7: and it was enough, in our view, for law enforcement

328
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 7: to have done a better job operationalizing a secure perimeter.

329
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 7: Law enforcement had a very direct role contributing to crely

330
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 7: the failures, the security failures that led to the violence.

331
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 6: People familiar with the committee's work tell NBC News members

332
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 6: downplayed that finding because they wanted to keep the focus

333
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 6: on former President Trump. Committee members dispute that haythe would

334
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 6: not discuss internal deliberations. Was this an intelligence failure?

335
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 7: It was not an intelligence failure.

336
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: Patorical breaks the line wait value hathe says.

337
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 6: The committee found the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security,

338
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 6: and other agencies did not act on the intelligence they had,

339
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 6: including this online threat forwarded to Capitol police January fifth,

340
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 6: calling on thousands to go to Washington and help storm

341
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: the Capitol. In a statement to NBC News, the FBI

342
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: said had sent all the intelligence had had to the

343
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 6: Capitol Police.

344
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you don't think that's a big part of

345
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the story. Now, let me tell you what I would

346
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: have looked into if I was on that committee. But

347
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: of course they kicked off Jim Jordan and Jim Banks

348
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: on the committee and replaced him with what Elizabeth Cheney,

349
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney, and I forget the other person, you know,

350
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: the other idiot that lost. It's just sad because they

351
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: could have prevented it. Now, Steve Friend was one of

352
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the whistleblowers, so he'll join us later in the program today,

353
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the FBI's campaign of intimidation after

354
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: it became a whistleblower, and then talking about the FBI

355
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: working against you, the American people, and is in need

356
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: of drastic reform.

357
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: Listen.

358
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 8: In August twenty twenty two, I made protective whistleblower disclosures

359
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 8: to my immediate supervisor, assistant Special Agents in Charge, and

360
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 8: Special Agent in Charge about my concerns regarding January sixth

361
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 8: investigations and signed to my office. I believed our departures

362
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 8: from case management rules established in the FBI's Domestic Investigations

363
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 8: and Operations Guide could have undermined potentially righteous prosecutions and

364
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 8: may have been part of an effort to inflate the

365
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 8: FBI statistics on domestic extremism. I also voiced concerns that

366
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 8: the FBI's use of SWAT and large scale arrest operations

367
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 8: to apprehend suspects who were accused of non violent crimes

368
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 8: and misdemeanors represented by counsel and who pledged to cooperate

369
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 8: with the federal authorities in the event of criminal charges

370
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 8: created an unnecessary risk to FBI personnel and public safety

371
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 8: at each level of my chain of command. Leadership caution

372
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 8: that despite my exemplary work performance, whistleblowing placed my otherwise

373
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 8: bright future with the FBI at risk. Special agents taken

374
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 8: oath to protect the US Constitution. The dangers of federal

375
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 8: law enforcement overreach were hammered home to me when I

376
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 8: was required to attend trainings at the Holocaust Memorial Museum

377
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 8: and MLK Memorial. I cited my oath and training in

378
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 8: my conversations with my FBI supervisors. Nevertheless, the FBI weaponized

379
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 8: the security clearance processes to facilitate my removal from active

380
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 8: duty within one month of my disclosures. In addition to

381
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 8: an indefinite unpaid suspension, the FBI initiated a campaign of

382
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 8: humiliation and intimidation to punish and pressure me to resign.

383
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 8: In violation of hip hop individuals at the FBI leaked

384
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 8: my private medical information to a reporter at The New

385
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 8: York Times in violation of the Privacy Act. The FBI

386
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 8: refused to furnish my training records for several months. To date,

387
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 8: they only provide a portion of the records, which are

388
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 8: essential to obtaining private investigator and fire armp licenses in

389
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 8: the state of Florida. Even after releasing some of the records,

390
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 8: the FBI refuses to confirm their legitimacy to the Florida

391
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 8: Department of Agriculture, rendering them few documents they have provided

392
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 8: practically useless. The FBI denied my request to seek outside

393
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 8: employment in an obvious attempt to deprive me of the

394
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 8: ability to support my family. Finally, the FBI Inspection Division

395
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 8: imposed an a legal gag order in an attempt to

396
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 8: prevent me from communicating with my family attorneys. The FBI

397
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 8: is incentivized to work against the American people and in

398
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 8: dire need of drastic reform, particularly in these areas. The

399
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 8: integrated program management system incentivizes the use of inappropriate investigatory

400
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 8: processes and tools to achieve arbitrary statistical accomplishments. Mission creep

401
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 8: within the National Security Branch has refocused counter terrorism from

402
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 8: legitimate foreign actors to political opponents within our borders. The

403
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 8: FBI weaponizes process crimes and reinterprets laws to initiate pretectual

404
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 8: prosecutions and persecute its political enemies. Euerintelligence analysis capability increasingly

405
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 8: dictates operations, turning the FBI into an intelligence agency with

406
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 8: a law enforcement capability. FBI collusion with big tech to

407
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 8: gather intelligence on Americans, censor political speech, and target citizens

408
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 8: for malicious prosecution.

409
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: A dysfunctional promotion.

410
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 8: Process fosters a revolving door of inexperienced, ambitious FBI supervisors

411
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 8: ascending the management ladder within the agency. FBI informant protocols

412
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 8: that are broken and abusive. The FBI skirts the Whistleblower

413
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 8: Protection Act and exploits the security clearance revocation process to

414
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 8: expel employees who make legally protected disclosures.

415
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is devastating. This is what we've been

416
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: telling you how the FBI has been politicized. It has

417
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: been weaponized. The DOJ has been politicized. It has been weaponized.

418
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: Let's go to another FBI whistleblower, this one Marcus Allen,

419
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: saying he's been retaliated against by having his security clearance revoked.

420
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: FBI claims he's being disloyal because of his January sixth views. Now,

421
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: by the way, then, he says, the FBI retaliated against

422
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: him aftery file to complain against them.

423
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: Listen, as the.

424
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: Holder of a top secret security clearance since two thousand

425
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: and one, I've been trusted with the nation's greatest secrets.

426
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: So why am I here today? Despite my history of

427
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: unblemish service to the United States, the FBI suspended my

428
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: security clearance, accusing me of actually being disloyal to my country.

429
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: This outrageous and insulting accusation is based on unsubstantiated accusations

430
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: that I hold conspiratorial views regarding the events of January sixth,

431
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, and that I allegedly sympathized with criminal conduct.

432
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: I do not. I was not in Washington, d C.

433
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: On January sixth, played no part in the events of

434
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 3: January sixth, and I condemn all criminal activity that occurred. Instead,

435
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: it appears that I was retaliated against because I forded

436
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: information in my superiors and others that questioned the official

437
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: narrative of the events of January six. As a result,

438
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: I was accused of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information.

439
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: Because I did this, the FBI questioned my allegiance to

440
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: the United States. Throughout this ordeal, I and my counsel

441
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: have responded quickly, whereas the FBI has only stonewalled. I

442
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: have filed a federal civil rights losssuit which is pending,

443
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 3: seeking to recover my livelihood and restore my good name. Recently,

444
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: my council filed a whistleblower complaint with the Justice Department's

445
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: Office of Inspector General. The complaint set forth retaliation through

446
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: misuse of the security clearance process, as well as reprisal

447
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: against me for making a protected disclosure. Interestingly enough, in

448
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: the wake of the filing the complaint. In the wake

449
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: of filing the complaint, I received correspondence from the FBI

450
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 3: indicating that my clearance had now been formally revoked. This

451
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: occurred after filing my complaint with the IG. The new

452
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: and baseless claims made in the letter had never been

453
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: brought up prior to the issuance of the security clearance

454
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: revocation letter. I have never had the opportunity to defend myself.

455
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: I only had one interview with the FBI, which occurred

456
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: a year ago after apparent prompting from Congress. In that interview,

457
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: the investigators towards the end of the interview uttered in

458
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: response to my exasperation, don't sue us?

459
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Yes, let me play one more cut of one of

460
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: the was that same whistleblower, Marcus Allen. He's testifying to

461
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Matt Gates that the FBI retaliated against him because he

462
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: thought Director Ray was lying to the Senate in testimony

463
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: regarding January sixth.

464
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 9: And mister Allen, is it your belief that you were

465
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 9: retaliated against because you shared an email that questioned the

466
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 9: truthfulness of FBI Director Christopher Ray, Yes, sir, And you

467
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 9: believed that he wasn't truthful based on testimony he'd given

468
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 9: to the United States Senate. Isn't that right?

469
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 7: Yes, sir?

470
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 9: And in that testimony to the Senate, you believe that

471
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 9: Christopher Ray indicated that there were no confidential informants and

472
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 9: no FBI assets that were present at the Capitol on

473
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 9: January sixth, that were part of the violent riot in

474
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 9: that right, Yes, sir, unbelievable.

475
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what else do you need to know? Your

476
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: FBI has now been weaponized, it's now sized, it now

477
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: has a political agenda, I mean, and and that's you know,

478
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: these are It's not a guess anymore. We're not guessing here,

479
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, these whistleblowers testifying with the Select sub Subcommittee

480
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: on the weaponization of our federal government. It has been weaponized,

481
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: and now we are paying a price for it, and

482
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: nothing seems to happen.

483
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: You know.

484
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: Now, the Republicans rightly have gotten to the point where

485
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: they only see one solution, and that is they're going

486
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: to have to use the power of the purse not

487
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: to defund dismantle the FBI, but restructure the FBI, reorganize

488
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: the FBI put you know, get its focus back on

489
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: the purpose of law enforcement. Uh and and not you know,

490
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: being involved in presidential elections the way they have for

491
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: two presidential elections. Uh or or having an agenda that

492
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: only fits one party but not another, you know, or

493
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: their priorities. Really we're going to go after let's see

494
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, tiger moms that speak out at like Linda,

495
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: that speak out at school board meetings, And we're going

496
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: to go after you know, churches because of their pro

497
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: life views and pro life centers, because that's what the

498
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: testimony has been. That's what we've now learned about this FBI.

499
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: This is not the same FBI that it was five

500
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: years ago or even ten years ago. And the fact

501
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: is they've gotten away with it with impunity. They literally

502
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: put their cinder blocks on the scales of the twenty

503
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: sixteen election, and they did it again in the twenty

504
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: twenty election. Really, you had Hunter Biden's laptop in December

505
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, eleven months before the November twenty twenty election.

506
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: Okay, how long.

507
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Would it take the FBI to authenticate that?

508
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: Not long.

509
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: They have very sophisticated computer analysts that can figure this

510
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: stuff out, you know, in he split, no time at all.

511
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: You know what about the case of the you know

512
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: now they're telling big tech all be on the lookout.

513
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: You may be the victim of a misinformation campaign. By

514
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: the way, Twitter, here's three and a half million dollars.

515
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: Why are we giving three and a half million taxpayer?

516
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: FBI dollars to Twitter. How much do they give other

517
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: big tech companies? And then the laptop story that they

518
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: knew was real comes out, but they had already pre

519
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: bunked it. They've been telling the big tech companies all

520
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: they might be, you know, misinformation about Hunter or about

521
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: Joe Biden.

522
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: Got to be on the lookout for that.

523
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: So you're not a victim of misinformation, all right, because

524
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: January sixth came up so often today in these hearings

525
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: and the weaponization of our Justice Department and DJ and

526
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: uh Man. This was devastating. These these you know, these

527
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: people that are whistleblowers, putting everything on the line, and

528
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: what happens. They get penalized, they get punished, they get ostracized,

529
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: they lose their jobs, their pensions, and it just their

530
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: entire career blows up.

531
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: But they put it all on the line. Today.

532
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: Now on the issue of January sixth, we're going to

533
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: talk with the former Capitol police chief's son.

534
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: He'll join us next.

535
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: Then one of the whistleblowers that testified today will join

536
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: us as well. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn
