Sekulow | Sekulow - Kash Patel Exposes Federal Agent Probe | December 24, 2025
- (upbeat music)
- 00:00:00.041 --> 00:00:11.386
- - on today's show, fbi director patel
- 00:00:12.187 --> 00:00:14.055
- Announces probe into arctic frost federal agents.
- 00:00:14.055 --> 00:00:18.359
- Kash patel exposes federal agent probe.
- 00:00:19.194 --> 00:00:21.763
- And i was like, "what does that mean?" well, that's right,
- 00:00:21.763 --> 00:00:23.698
- Fbi director patel announced
- 00:00:23.698 --> 00:00:25.233
- There is an ongoing criminal investigation
- 00:00:25.233 --> 00:00:27.102
- Against the personnel involved in that controversial,
- 00:00:27.102 --> 00:00:30.572
- Of course, biden-era arctic frost,
- 00:00:30.572 --> 00:00:32.907
- Which probed a lot of different people,
- 00:00:32.907 --> 00:00:35.143
- And got a lot of phone records,
- 00:00:35.143 --> 00:00:36.511
- Many members of congress,
- 00:00:36.511 --> 00:00:37.812
- People that were like lightly adjacent.
- 00:00:37.812 --> 00:00:40.448
- These were people who maybe just were republicans,
- 00:00:40.448 --> 00:00:43.384
- Maybe just conservatives,
- 00:00:43.384 --> 00:00:44.886
- Didn't necessarily have anything to do
- 00:00:44.886 --> 00:00:46.221
- With specific trump-era things.
- 00:00:46.221 --> 00:00:48.556
- And of course, now we are seeing once again
- 00:00:48.556 --> 00:00:51.059
- Some positive movement from the fbi.
- 00:00:51.059 --> 00:00:53.862
- But, will, why don't you give us a bit more information
- 00:00:53.862 --> 00:00:55.663
- About this fbi probe?
- 00:00:55.663 --> 00:00:57.132
- - that's right, there is a lot of movement
- 00:00:57.132 --> 00:00:58.967
- Around arctic frost
- 00:00:58.967 --> 00:01:00.568
- As well as the side of the fbi
- 00:01:00.568 --> 00:01:04.072
- That was investigating
- 00:01:04.072 --> 00:01:05.473
- Not just president trump,
- 00:01:05.473 --> 00:01:06.808
- But other members of congress, conservatives,
- 00:01:06.808 --> 00:01:09.878
- After the 2020 election.
- 00:01:09.878 --> 00:01:11.946
- And what we're finding out
- 00:01:11.946 --> 00:01:13.548
- Is that kash patel,
- 00:01:13.548 --> 00:01:14.782
- The director of the fbi, has disclosed
- 00:01:14.782 --> 00:01:16.951
- That there is an ongoing criminal investigation
- 00:01:16.951 --> 00:01:20.054
- Into federal personnel
- 00:01:20.054 --> 00:01:21.923
- Involved in arctic frost
- 00:01:21.923 --> 00:01:24.559
- As well as, he said to just the news,
- 00:01:24.559 --> 00:01:28.129
- "i'm not gonna let people get off the hook
- 00:01:28.129 --> 00:01:30.365
- Or get a hall pass.
- 00:01:30.365 --> 00:01:32.033
- It takes a little time
- 00:01:32.033 --> 00:01:33.201
- To break down the disease temple
- 00:01:33.201 --> 00:01:35.403
- That they built here in washington for decades.
- 00:01:35.403 --> 00:01:38.206
- But i harp on the fact
- 00:01:38.206 --> 00:01:39.541
- That this investigation should show the world
- 00:01:39.541 --> 00:01:41.476
- How we're gonna operate in every single investigation."
- 00:01:41.476 --> 00:01:43.778
- So kash patel obviously has been in the news a lot lately
- 00:01:43.778 --> 00:01:47.315
- Because of the catching of the alleged pipe bomber
- 00:01:47.315 --> 00:01:51.486
- In the january 6th and january 5th pipe bombing incident,
- 00:01:51.486 --> 00:01:55.423
- Where pipe bombs were placed at the dnc and the rnc.
- 00:01:55.423 --> 00:01:58.526
- They did not go off.
- 00:01:58.526 --> 00:01:59.661
- However, it took nearly five years
- 00:01:59.661 --> 00:02:02.664
- To catch and apprehend the individual responsible for that.
- 00:02:02.664 --> 00:02:06.434
- So what we are looking at now
- 00:02:06.434 --> 00:02:09.204
- Is not only is this a revelation
- 00:02:09.204 --> 00:02:13.608
- That there is a criminal investigation ongoing
- 00:02:13.608 --> 00:02:16.277
- And how the agents operated,
- 00:02:16.277 --> 00:02:18.513
- How things were taken,
- 00:02:18.513 --> 00:02:21.249
- The violation of maybe individuals' constitutional rights
- 00:02:21.249 --> 00:02:24.752
- By the fbi,
- 00:02:24.752 --> 00:02:26.688
- But there's a lot of other things going on, too,
- 00:02:26.688 --> 00:02:28.489
- We'll get to in the next segment
- 00:02:28.489 --> 00:02:29.857
- Out of congress
- 00:02:29.857 --> 00:02:31.292
- That pushes back and hopefully blocks some of this
- 00:02:31.292 --> 00:02:33.494
- From ever happening again.
- 00:02:33.494 --> 00:02:35.597
- But i think it's a very important step
- 00:02:35.597 --> 00:02:38.633
- That we know it's not just an internal investigation,
- 00:02:38.633 --> 00:02:41.803
- It's not just a inspector general of the doj
- 00:02:41.803 --> 00:02:44.939
- Looking into, "what we could do better,
- 00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:47.308
- Where we went wrong,"
- 00:02:47.308 --> 00:02:48.977
- There is actual ongoing criminal investigation
- 00:02:48.977 --> 00:02:52.146
- Looking into the actions of federal agents
- 00:02:52.146 --> 00:02:54.916
- And federal employees
- 00:02:54.916 --> 00:02:56.584
- As they weaponized the doj and the fbi
- 00:02:56.584 --> 00:02:59.988
- Against conservatives
- 00:02:59.988 --> 00:03:01.055
- Just a few years ago.
- 00:03:01.055 --> 00:03:02.156
- (upbeat music)
- 00:03:02.156 --> 00:03:07.006
- (upbeat music)
- 00:03:07.006 --> 00:03:07.517
- (upbeat music)
- 00:03:07.884 --> 00:03:10.620
- - for a lot of you who are just joining us right now,
- 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.188
- You may be seeing that headline.
- 00:03:12.188 --> 00:03:13.423
- That's right, fbi director kash patel
- 00:03:13.423 --> 00:03:15.625
- Announced that there's an ongoing criminal investigation
- 00:03:15.625 --> 00:03:18.227
- Into those federal agents
- 00:03:18.227 --> 00:03:19.495
- Who were involved in that arctic frost probe,
- 00:03:19.495 --> 00:03:22.198
- Which again i'm sure you've heard about us talk about
- 00:03:22.198 --> 00:03:24.434
- What feels like ad nauseum,
- 00:03:24.434 --> 00:03:25.702
- But if you haven't, we're talking about
- 00:03:25.702 --> 00:03:27.003
- Where many members of congress and others,
- 00:03:27.003 --> 00:03:29.439
- Their phone records were gathered and distributed.
- 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.043
- But of course, we have a new fbi
- 00:03:34.043 --> 00:03:36.212
- Who's saying, "you know what?
- 00:03:36.212 --> 00:03:37.046
- We're not just gonna let
- 00:03:37.046 --> 00:03:38.414
- People who did these things get away with it."
- 00:03:38.414 --> 00:03:39.782
- 'cause again they were people
- 00:03:39.782 --> 00:03:41.084
- Who were not necessarily even directly involved
- 00:03:41.084 --> 00:03:43.586
- With what was happening.
- 00:03:43.586 --> 00:03:45.021
- Let's actually hear from director kash patel, bite one.
- 00:03:45.021 --> 00:03:48.958
- - it takes a little time to break down the disease temple
- 00:03:48.958 --> 00:03:51.728
- That they built here in washington for decades.
- 00:03:51.728 --> 00:03:53.896
- But i harp on the fact
- 00:03:53.896 --> 00:03:55.531
- That this investigation
- 00:03:55.531 --> 00:03:56.833
- Should show the world
- 00:03:56.833 --> 00:03:58.167
- How we are going to operate
- 00:03:58.167 --> 00:03:59.769
- In every single investigation.
- 00:03:59.769 --> 00:04:01.170
- Arctic frost specifically,
- 00:04:01.170 --> 00:04:03.005
- We have a huge investigation going.
- 00:04:03.005 --> 00:04:04.974
- That is public, i can say that.
- 00:04:04.974 --> 00:04:06.876
- And it's gonna take a little more time to peel it back,
- 00:04:06.876 --> 00:04:09.545
- But no, i'm not gonna let people
- 00:04:09.545 --> 00:04:11.414
- Get off the hook or get a hall pass.
- 00:04:11.414 --> 00:04:14.584
- I don't care what position you held in the fbi,
- 00:04:14.584 --> 00:04:16.352
- You're gonna be held accountable.
- 00:04:16.352 --> 00:04:17.520
- And this doj is assuredly backing us.
- 00:04:17.520 --> 00:04:20.256
- - once again, being very direct, will.
- 00:04:20.256 --> 00:04:22.091
- - that's right, and this is at a time
- 00:04:22.091 --> 00:04:23.893
- When you're also seeing a lot of other moves.
- 00:04:23.893 --> 00:04:25.495
- You're seeing that the house judiciary committee
- 00:04:25.495 --> 00:04:28.498
- Has subpoenaed jack smith
- 00:04:28.498 --> 00:04:30.700
- To sit before them for a deposition,
- 00:04:30.700 --> 00:04:34.103
- So a closed-door deposition, on december 17th,
- 00:04:34.103 --> 00:04:37.440
- Just a week from today.
- 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.342
- Then you also look at that they are requiring documents
- 00:04:39.342 --> 00:04:42.779
- Be provided by friday
- 00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:44.280
- So they can prepare for that deposition.
- 00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:46.349
- Remember they had offered,
- 00:04:46.349 --> 00:04:47.450
- They'd asked for him to come speak,
- 00:04:47.450 --> 00:04:48.885
- And he said, "i'll do it in public.
- 00:04:48.885 --> 00:04:51.721
- I'll go for the show."
- 00:04:51.721 --> 00:04:53.856
- It's much easier to defend yourself in an open hearing
- 00:04:53.856 --> 00:04:56.826
- When there's a lot of partisan made-for-tv moments
- 00:04:56.826 --> 00:05:00.930
- Than it is in a true deposition
- 00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:02.565
- Behind closed doors.
- 00:05:02.565 --> 00:05:03.900
- So jim jordan called his bluff
- 00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.768
- And said, "no, we're not gonna do that.
- 00:05:05.768 --> 00:05:07.770
- We're gonna subpoena you
- 00:05:07.770 --> 00:05:09.238
- And you're gonna come sit before us in a deposition
- 00:05:09.238 --> 00:05:11.641
- In the middle of december."
- 00:05:11.641 --> 00:05:13.409
- So good on that.
- 00:05:13.409 --> 00:05:14.877
- We'll see what comes out of that.
- 00:05:14.877 --> 00:05:16.512
- We also know that chuck grassley over on the senate side
- 00:05:16.512 --> 00:05:19.549
- Saying that they will be holding hearings
- 00:05:19.549 --> 00:05:21.217
- About arctic frost and jack smith
- 00:05:21.217 --> 00:05:23.619
- In the new year in january.
- 00:05:23.619 --> 00:05:25.354
- Early on, they'll be having that on the senate side.
- 00:05:25.354 --> 00:05:28.391
- So congressional oversight's taking place,
- 00:05:28.391 --> 00:05:31.160
- The fbi itself is doing a criminal investigation
- 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.696
- Of the bad actors involved in this.
- 00:05:33.696 --> 00:05:35.465
- At the same time, elise stefanik,
- 00:05:35.465 --> 00:05:37.166
- Who is running for governor of new york,
- 00:05:37.166 --> 00:05:38.801
- Still in the house of representatives,
- 00:05:38.801 --> 00:05:40.303
- Good friend of the broadcast,
- 00:05:40.303 --> 00:05:42.071
- Has gotten a provision
- 00:05:42.071 --> 00:05:43.406
- Into the national defense authorization act,
- 00:05:43.406 --> 00:05:46.342
- Which is where the money,
- 00:05:46.342 --> 00:05:47.844
- The funding of all of our national defense comes through.
- 00:05:47.844 --> 00:05:50.847
- This is the appropriations bill for that.
- 00:05:50.847 --> 00:05:52.949
- A provision in there
- 00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:55.451
- That forces the fbi
- 00:05:55.451 --> 00:05:57.119
- To disclose the initiation
- 00:05:57.119 --> 00:05:59.355
- Of a counterintelligence assessment
- 00:05:59.355 --> 00:06:01.324
- Or investigation against a candidate for federal office
- 00:06:01.324 --> 00:06:05.695
- Or a current elected official
- 00:06:05.695 --> 00:06:07.630
- Within 15 days of its launch.
- 00:06:07.630 --> 00:06:11.234
- So putting into law,
- 00:06:11.234 --> 00:06:12.802
- And the national defense authorization act
- 00:06:12.802 --> 00:06:14.837
- Is expected to pass.
- 00:06:14.837 --> 00:06:16.839
- It is a very essential piece of legislation
- 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.142
- That keeps our military
- 00:06:20.142 --> 00:06:21.711
- And all of our national defense funded.
- 00:06:21.711 --> 00:06:24.714
- There may be some pushback on little provisions,
- 00:06:24.714 --> 00:06:27.116
- But by and large, the 3,000-page bill
- 00:06:27.116 --> 00:06:29.919
- Typically goes through
- 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:31.454
- Because both sides see it as important.
- 00:06:31.454 --> 00:06:33.489
- So if her provision remains,
- 00:06:33.489 --> 00:06:35.358
- It will then be codified into law
- 00:06:35.358 --> 00:06:37.827
- That if the fbi is looking into a candidate
- 00:06:37.827 --> 00:06:40.563
- Or a current elected official,
- 00:06:40.563 --> 00:06:42.398
- As they did during arctic frost,
- 00:06:42.398 --> 00:06:44.200
- They have to notify that person within 15 days.
- 00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:47.169
- So you got about a two-week headstart
- 00:06:47.169 --> 00:06:49.438
- Of trying to get your information
- 00:06:49.438 --> 00:06:51.274
- Before you have to notify them.
- 00:06:51.274 --> 00:06:53.009
- - and elise stefanik spoke about this today
- 00:06:53.009 --> 00:06:54.777
- On fox business,
- 00:06:54.777 --> 00:06:55.711
- Let's take a listen to that.
- 00:06:55.711 --> 00:06:57.680
- - i've been working on this provision
- 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:58.915
- For a number of years,
- 00:06:58.915 --> 00:07:00.149
- And it goes back to when james comey,
- 00:07:00.149 --> 00:07:02.084
- Former fbi director,
- 00:07:02.084 --> 00:07:03.352
- Testified in an open hearing.
- 00:07:03.352 --> 00:07:05.421
- He did not follow proper protocol
- 00:07:05.421 --> 00:07:07.323
- When he illegally opened crossfire hurricane
- 00:07:07.323 --> 00:07:10.059
- Targeting president trump in 2016,
- 00:07:10.059 --> 00:07:12.328
- He did not notify congress.
- 00:07:12.328 --> 00:07:13.930
- That closes this comey loophole
- 00:07:13.930 --> 00:07:15.998
- And it pushes back on the illegal weaponization of the fbi
- 00:07:15.998 --> 00:07:19.569
- To target political candidates,
- 00:07:19.569 --> 00:07:21.971
- Like they have done with president trump.
- 00:07:21.971 --> 00:07:23.973
- - so now we have seen this sort of on repeat
- 00:07:23.973 --> 00:07:25.541
- Over and over again,
- 00:07:25.541 --> 00:07:26.442
- But what's nice is,
- 00:07:26.442 --> 00:07:27.777
- Maybe unlike previous administrations even,
- 00:07:27.777 --> 00:07:30.046
- Look, i would even say the previous trump administration,
- 00:07:30.046 --> 00:07:33.149
- You have an fbi that's not just showing corruption,
- 00:07:33.149 --> 00:07:36.852
- Not just saying, "this is what happened or is happening,"
- 00:07:36.852 --> 00:07:39.088
- Saying, "we're gonna take action."
- 00:07:39.088 --> 00:07:40.623
- You hear that from elise, you hear that from kash patel,
- 00:07:40.623 --> 00:07:43.125
- People who are actually putting probes in place
- 00:07:43.125 --> 00:07:45.094
- That are investigating,
- 00:07:45.094 --> 00:07:46.829
- That's not just, "here's what happened, whoops."
- 00:07:46.829 --> 00:07:49.732
- And i think he even mentioned that,
- 00:07:49.732 --> 00:07:51.067
- Like they're not just gonna get a hall pass
- 00:07:51.067 --> 00:07:52.435
- For these kind of egregious behavior.
- 00:07:52.435 --> 00:07:53.936
- - here's what's interesting to me as well,
- 00:07:53.936 --> 00:07:55.972
- And i am curious where it all stems from,
- 00:07:55.972 --> 00:07:59.408
- Was the trust in the fbi so broken
- 00:07:59.408 --> 00:08:03.179
- By what we saw from comey and wray
- 00:08:03.179 --> 00:08:05.481
- Over that long period,
- 00:08:05.481 --> 00:08:06.782
- Which was even during the trump administration
- 00:08:06.782 --> 00:08:09.785
- Because christopher wray
- 00:08:09.785 --> 00:08:12.188
- Was put into that position
- 00:08:12.188 --> 00:08:14.323
- During the trump administration the first time,
- 00:08:14.323 --> 00:08:16.359
- And we saw the bad actions of the bureau continue
- 00:08:16.359 --> 00:08:20.162
- Because they the entire time
- 00:08:20.162 --> 00:08:21.998
- Were weaponized against president trump
- 00:08:21.998 --> 00:08:24.000
- And against conservatives.
- 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.267
- Then we saw that get hyper speed,
- 00:08:25.267 --> 00:08:28.704
- Put into hyperdrive almost,
- 00:08:28.704 --> 00:08:30.673
- In the biden administration,
- 00:08:30.673 --> 00:08:33.075
- Where they were going after
- 00:08:33.075 --> 00:08:34.577
- Just normal everyday conservatives.
- 00:08:34.577 --> 00:08:36.912
- But what i'm seeing you see in the world of x,
- 00:08:36.912 --> 00:08:39.048
- With all the influencers and things,
- 00:08:39.048 --> 00:08:41.317
- That they've created a anti-fbi bias so much
- 00:08:41.317 --> 00:08:46.889
- That even president trump's handpicked people
- 00:08:47.857 --> 00:08:51.127
- Are the bad guys still.
- 00:08:51.127 --> 00:08:52.228
- - right. - and i see that
- 00:08:52.228 --> 00:08:53.462
- In the chat right now.
- 00:08:53.462 --> 00:08:54.964
- Like, "what is kash patel gonna do anything about it?"
- 00:08:54.964 --> 00:08:56.499
- Well, he is the director of the fbi,
- 00:08:56.499 --> 00:08:57.900
- And if there's a criminal investigation into this,
- 00:08:57.900 --> 00:09:01.070
- Then what you can logically conclude
- 00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:04.206
- Is that if the evidence is there,
- 00:09:04.206 --> 00:09:06.208
- There can be charges that come from this.
- 00:09:06.208 --> 00:09:08.044
- Not just, "you're fired,
- 00:09:08.044 --> 00:09:09.879
- Ah, maybe you still get your pension,"
- 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.747
- But actual criminal charges. - yeah, you've built a bias
- 00:09:11.747 --> 00:09:14.116
- Against the federal government,
- 00:09:14.116 --> 00:09:15.284
- The federal government branches
- 00:09:15.284 --> 00:09:16.585
- And all the different sort of departments.
- 00:09:16.585 --> 00:09:18.254
- It is hard to break that.
- 00:09:18.254 --> 00:09:19.522
- It is hard for me to remind, not hard,
- 00:09:19.522 --> 00:09:22.358
- But when we're doing these broadcasts,
- 00:09:22.358 --> 00:09:23.693
- To remind myself all the different versions.
- 00:09:23.693 --> 00:09:25.928
- When we're talking about the fbi,
- 00:09:25.928 --> 00:09:27.530
- We're not necessarily always talking about the fbi of now,
- 00:09:27.530 --> 00:09:29.131
- We could be talking about the fbi four years ago,
- 00:09:29.131 --> 00:09:30.666
- We could be talking about the fbi though
- 00:09:30.666 --> 00:09:32.034
- From the trump administration the first time
- 00:09:32.034 --> 00:09:33.436
- That they also told us was doing things
- 00:09:33.436 --> 00:09:35.071
- That were not necessarily up to snuff,
- 00:09:35.071 --> 00:09:37.740
- Because we know the issues
- 00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:39.041
- That we had with that fbi.
- 00:09:39.041 --> 00:09:40.810
- And of course, you have james comey
- 00:09:40.810 --> 00:09:42.144
- And you have all of these people.
- 00:09:42.144 --> 00:09:43.546
- It is hard when you have built that distrust system,
- 00:09:43.546 --> 00:09:46.148
- As will said.
- 00:09:46.148 --> 00:09:47.116
- And then you have even cracks.
- 00:09:47.116 --> 00:09:48.684
- If there's a crack,
- 00:09:48.684 --> 00:09:50.086
- And of course, we had that a couple times this year
- 00:09:50.086 --> 00:09:52.321
- Where maybe some of the campaign promises
- 00:09:52.321 --> 00:09:54.890
- By those fbi directors,
- 00:09:54.890 --> 00:09:56.258
- Or really the answers that they have
- 00:09:56.258 --> 00:09:58.728
- Are not what the answers
- 00:09:58.728 --> 00:10:00.329
- Of the social media side of politics,
- 00:10:00.329 --> 00:10:03.332
- Which is only maybe 5% i'd say or less
- 00:10:03.332 --> 00:10:06.001
- Of people who actually vote and actually care.
- 00:10:06.001 --> 00:10:07.737
- 95% of people don't care,
- 00:10:07.737 --> 00:10:09.839
- Are not engaged that way.
- 00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:11.240
- But the people that do care say, "you know what?
- 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.641
- These are some of the top topics we cared about,
- 00:10:12.641 --> 00:10:13.809
- It feels like you've blown us off,"
- 00:10:13.809 --> 00:10:15.311
- And now you're seeing the fbi
- 00:10:15.311 --> 00:10:17.580
- Trying to rebuild even their own maybe stumbles
- 00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:21.584
- In the first six months
- 00:10:21.584 --> 00:10:24.487
- By now doing things like the january 6th bomber
- 00:10:24.487 --> 00:10:27.022
- Or this issue specifically with arctic frost,
- 00:10:27.022 --> 00:10:29.658
- Saying, "look, you can trust us, you can rebuild."
- 00:10:29.658 --> 00:10:32.495
- - well, and what's so interesting too,
- 00:10:32.495 --> 00:10:34.196
- And i think it's very telling,
- 00:10:34.196 --> 00:10:35.498
- Is even the deputy director dan bongino,
- 00:10:35.498 --> 00:10:37.800
- He was asked directly by,
- 00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:40.169
- I believe it was either sean hannity
- 00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:41.537
- Or whoever he was on the night of the announcement
- 00:10:41.537 --> 00:10:44.373
- Of the bomber being apprehended.
- 00:10:44.373 --> 00:10:47.643
- They asked him, "hey, when you were on air,
- 00:10:47.643 --> 00:10:51.313
- You were talking a lot,
- 00:10:51.313 --> 00:10:52.481
- You went many different places.
- 00:10:52.481 --> 00:10:54.283
- Is there a coverup specifically?
- 00:10:54.283 --> 00:10:56.152
- Is there all these things?
- 00:10:56.152 --> 00:10:57.520
- But now you're saying this is the individual
- 00:10:57.520 --> 00:10:59.455
- And the fbi had the information, what changed?"
- 00:10:59.455 --> 00:11:02.258
- And he was like,
- 00:11:02.258 --> 00:11:03.425
- "i was a paid opinion broadcaster.
- 00:11:03.425 --> 00:11:07.296
- And i didn't have all the evidence,
- 00:11:07.296 --> 00:11:09.598
- I had training and things to look at,
- 00:11:09.598 --> 00:11:12.468
- But i was giving my opinion." - "i wasn't behind
- 00:11:12.468 --> 00:11:13.769
- The curtain." - "of what it was.
- 00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:15.905
- Now that i'm in here,
- 00:11:15.905 --> 00:11:17.106
- I've looked at all the evidence,"
- 00:11:17.106 --> 00:11:18.641
- But that's even not enough for many people on the right,
- 00:11:18.641 --> 00:11:21.377
- Which is shocking,
- 00:11:21.377 --> 00:11:22.344
- In the conservative sphere
- 00:11:22.344 --> 00:11:23.546
- That trust these people.
- 00:11:23.546 --> 00:11:24.880
- And then when they see the evidence,
- 00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:27.183
- The individual, and says, "hey, here's what it is,
- 00:11:27.183 --> 00:11:29.852
- They no longer trust them,
- 00:11:29.852 --> 00:11:31.253
- Because they'd rather believe the opinion sphere
- 00:11:31.253 --> 00:11:34.089
- Rather than when someone does have the evidence is able to,
- 00:11:34.089 --> 00:11:36.892
- And i give dan bongino a lot of credit for admitting,
- 00:11:36.892 --> 00:11:40.229
- And saying like, "right,
- 00:11:40.229 --> 00:11:41.430
- There's two different sides of this.
- 00:11:41.430 --> 00:11:43.332
- Now that i'm in it and can see all the evidence
- 00:11:43.332 --> 00:11:45.434
- And know that we have got our man,
- 00:11:45.434 --> 00:11:47.403
- You should take my word for it."
- 00:11:48.037 --> 00:11:49.738
- - yeah, and i think i understand
- 00:11:49.738 --> 00:11:50.739
- There is a bit of that
- 00:11:50.739 --> 00:11:52.007
- Because if you were a hardcore follower
- 00:11:52.007 --> 00:11:53.509
- Of bongino, or kash patal,
- 00:11:53.509 --> 00:11:55.144
- Or any of these people, you're right,
- 00:11:55.144 --> 00:11:56.278
- And they were giving their opinions,
- 00:11:56.278 --> 00:11:57.479
- Their thoughts, kind of definitively.
- 00:11:57.479 --> 00:11:59.882
- You can't say they didn't have any record.
- 00:12:00.749 --> 00:12:02.785
- Sure they didn't have record
- 00:12:02.785 --> 00:12:03.719
- As a public servant,
- 00:12:03.719 --> 00:12:05.054
- Or didn't have a record as a fbi director,
- 00:12:05.054 --> 00:12:07.523
- Or behind the curtain at the time,
- 00:12:07.523 --> 00:12:09.091
- But they certainly have a large public record
- 00:12:09.091 --> 00:12:11.260
- You can go back on.
- 00:12:11.260 --> 00:12:12.561
- I think when president trump makes the decision
- 00:12:12.561 --> 00:12:13.963
- To bring on people who have been loud
- 00:12:13.963 --> 00:12:17.466
- For years on air,
- 00:12:17.466 --> 00:12:19.535
- It would not be unlike going back through our archives
- 00:12:19.535 --> 00:12:22.071
- And finding stuff that we've speculated on or said.
- 00:12:22.071 --> 00:12:25.007
- Sure, we could be wrong, there could be statements.
- 00:12:25.007 --> 00:12:27.309
- Now, we don't really get into a lot of those kind of issues,
- 00:12:27.309 --> 00:12:30.112
- But he did. and it's not that i think they should be
- 00:12:30.112 --> 00:12:32.348
- Held accountable for them.
- 00:12:32.348 --> 00:12:33.449
- I think you should be able to say,
- 00:12:33.449 --> 00:12:34.717
- "okay, now i have the facts, it's true."
- 00:12:34.717 --> 00:12:36.418
- But i understand maybe a little bit of a disappointment
- 00:12:36.418 --> 00:12:38.754
- If you were one of their fans.
- 00:12:38.754 --> 00:12:40.322
- That's what, let's just go back to,
- 00:12:40.322 --> 00:12:41.390
- It's like dan bongino has fans,
- 00:12:41.390 --> 00:12:43.559
- Kash patel has fans,
- 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.060
- People who are like listeners,
- 00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:46.962
- Daily viewers, listeners, supporters,
- 00:12:46.962 --> 00:12:49.331
- Who do remember if you speculated for months
- 00:12:49.331 --> 00:12:53.168
- That this was something more nefarious
- 00:12:53.168 --> 00:12:55.070
- Than what was being led on.
- 00:12:55.070 --> 00:12:56.872
- Same with the epstein situation, same with those.
- 00:12:56.872 --> 00:12:58.874
- When you get 'em in a room and you go,
- 00:12:58.874 --> 00:13:00.075
- "oh, well, now we have the evidence,
- 00:13:00.075 --> 00:13:00.976
- We think it's x, not y."
- 00:13:00.976 --> 00:13:03.379
- There is a big record you can go back on.
- 00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:05.180
- I think it's important to remember that
- 00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:07.349
- When you're broadcasting,
- 00:13:07.349 --> 00:13:08.851
- Specifically if you have dreams and goals
- 00:13:08.851 --> 00:13:10.419
- That maybe are beyond that,
- 00:13:10.419 --> 00:13:11.954
- That one day you may be held accountable for those views.
- 00:13:11.954 --> 00:13:14.523
- Not to say that they aren't two separate entities,
- 00:13:14.523 --> 00:13:16.926
- And they kind of are,
- 00:13:16.926 --> 00:13:18.394
- But i think if there's a large record,
- 00:13:18.394 --> 00:13:20.763
- We gotta be careful.
- 00:13:20.763 --> 00:13:22.064
- That's why you can't just go with what's trending right now.
- 00:13:23.232 --> 00:13:25.034
- You can't go with whatever's gonna pop a number real quick.
- 00:13:25.034 --> 00:13:27.436
- If you do have beyond aspirations,
- 00:13:27.436 --> 00:13:29.238
- Beyond youtube, or rumble, or whatever it may be.
- 00:13:29.238 --> 00:13:31.807
- (upbeat music)
- 00:13:31.807 --> 00:13:36.003
- (upbeat music)
- 00:13:36.003 --> 00:13:36.304
- (upbeat music)
- 00:13:36.671 --> 00:13:38.439
- - i think we should go to a phone call here
- 00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:40.308
- Because we did ask,
- 00:13:40.308 --> 00:13:42.677
- Why are we seeing on the right
- 00:13:42.677 --> 00:13:44.946
- A lot of pushback
- 00:13:44.946 --> 00:13:47.215
- Against whether it be kash patel,
- 00:13:47.215 --> 00:13:48.916
- Dan bongino. - see it in the calls,
- 00:13:48.916 --> 00:13:50.351
- In the comments, yeah. - we see it in the comments.
- 00:13:50.351 --> 00:13:51.719
- So i think we should get to some of that.
- 00:13:51.719 --> 00:13:53.421
- Let's go to bob calling from florida on line one.
- 00:13:53.421 --> 00:13:56.357
- Bob, you're on "sekulow."
- 00:13:56.357 --> 00:13:57.592
- - hey, bob. - how are we doing, guys?
- 00:13:57.592 --> 00:13:59.927
- Hey, let's just, on the patel
- 00:13:59.927 --> 00:14:01.429
- And can he defeat the deep state?
- 00:14:01.429 --> 00:14:04.065
- Kash patel cannot defeat the deep state.
- 00:14:04.065 --> 00:14:06.534
- Kash patel doesn't prosecute.
- 00:14:06.534 --> 00:14:08.569
- Patel can't prosecute them.
- 00:14:08.569 --> 00:14:11.005
- Bondy has to prosecute them.
- 00:14:11.005 --> 00:14:12.607
- They screwed up the comey prosecution.
- 00:14:12.607 --> 00:14:17.378
- You're going after the dc pipe bomber
- 00:14:17.378 --> 00:14:20.648
- Who nobody knows,
- 00:14:20.648 --> 00:14:22.083
- Yet anthony fauci is out there.
- 00:14:22.083 --> 00:14:24.952
- You don't have to build a new case against him.
- 00:14:24.952 --> 00:14:27.455
- The department of justice needs wins
- 00:14:27.455 --> 00:14:31.459
- That everybody on both sides of the aisle know.
- 00:14:31.459 --> 00:14:34.729
- Don't bring me some brian cole.
- 00:14:34.729 --> 00:14:36.864
- Not that that's not important.
- 00:14:36.864 --> 00:14:38.466
- Brian cole doesn't move the needle.
- 00:14:38.466 --> 00:14:40.868
- Anthony fauci moves the needle.
- 00:14:40.868 --> 00:14:43.604
- Comey moves the needle.
- 00:14:43.604 --> 00:14:45.640
- Now, president trump, who we voted for,
- 00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:48.276
- Who i really like on 99% of the things that he does,
- 00:14:48.276 --> 00:14:52.280
- He can be free and loose
- 00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:53.881
- With the way he says things.
- 00:14:53.881 --> 00:14:56.084
- He can come in and say,
- 00:14:56.084 --> 00:14:57.452
- "i will end the war before i even take office,"
- 00:14:57.452 --> 00:15:00.721
- Or, "it will end in my first 10 days."
- 00:15:00.721 --> 00:15:03.524
- Nobody really believes that
- 00:15:03.524 --> 00:15:05.026
- Because those wars aren't stopping that quickly.
- 00:15:05.026 --> 00:15:07.829
- He speaks loudly
- 00:15:07.829 --> 00:15:10.098
- And he's a little free with things.
- 00:15:10.098 --> 00:15:12.600
- Patel and bongino,
- 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.202
- They don't have that luxury,
- 00:15:14.202 --> 00:15:16.037
- And they have, as you guys very, very smartly pointed out,
- 00:15:17.171 --> 00:15:20.374
- They have a past as being personalities,
- 00:15:20.374 --> 00:15:23.611
- And every time it looks like they swing and miss,
- 00:15:23.611 --> 00:15:27.648
- It pushes the investigation
- 00:15:27.648 --> 00:15:30.251
- Or the belief in the investigation
- 00:15:30.251 --> 00:15:32.620
- To the general public
- 00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:34.689
- Back weeks or months-
- 00:15:34.689 --> 00:15:36.324
- - bob i think-- - because now we spend weeks
- 00:15:36.324 --> 00:15:38.626
- And months talking about kash patel
- 00:15:38.626 --> 00:15:41.295
- In a jacket that doesn't fit.
- 00:15:41.295 --> 00:15:42.964
- - i think you have very valid points.
- 00:15:42.964 --> 00:15:44.565
- And look, i don't necessarily agree with them,
- 00:15:44.565 --> 00:15:46.033
- But i understand the frustration.
- 00:15:46.033 --> 00:15:48.069
- Like i said, we are about to be at a year
- 00:15:48.069 --> 00:15:49.704
- Into president trump's administration.
- 00:15:49.704 --> 00:15:51.405
- At a year is when you gotta stop blaming the other side,
- 00:15:51.405 --> 00:15:53.808
- Stop blaming the other previous administration.
- 00:15:53.808 --> 00:15:56.377
- We gotta start moving forward here.
- 00:15:56.377 --> 00:15:57.545
- We talked about that yesterday.
- 00:15:57.545 --> 00:15:58.446
- I believe it today.
- 00:15:58.446 --> 00:15:59.614
- You are right, they have a record.
- 00:15:59.614 --> 00:16:00.615
- We're gonna talk about that,
- 00:16:00.615 --> 00:16:01.916
- And of course, what does that record look like
- 00:16:01.916 --> 00:16:03.417
- When they were just opinion journalists, if you will,
- 00:16:03.417 --> 00:16:04.819
- And now they're moving forward as fbi directors?
- 00:16:04.819 --> 00:16:07.355
- We'll get into that.
- 00:16:07.355 --> 00:16:08.890
- I understand you feel like they need to earn your trust.
- 00:16:08.890 --> 00:16:11.626
- I disagree in the sense of i think something
- 00:16:11.626 --> 00:16:13.461
- Like the january 6th pipe bomber,
- 00:16:13.461 --> 00:16:15.296
- I don't really want people
- 00:16:15.296 --> 00:16:16.531
- Who are essentially terrorists
- 00:16:16.531 --> 00:16:17.465
- Roaming the streets of virginia.
- 00:16:17.465 --> 00:16:19.433
- And if that was something that was that easy
- 00:16:19.433 --> 00:16:20.835
- To take care of,
- 00:16:20.835 --> 00:16:22.036
- I'm happy that it got taken care of.
- 00:16:22.036 --> 00:16:23.437
- - i think there are kind of two things at work here
- 00:16:23.437 --> 00:16:26.007
- As i see it,
- 00:16:26.007 --> 00:16:26.974
- As a media analyst
- 00:16:26.974 --> 00:16:28.776
- As well as a government analyst,
- 00:16:28.776 --> 00:16:31.379
- With all the hats that we wear here.
- 00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:33.814
- One, i do feel like to some degree
- 00:16:33.814 --> 00:16:36.284
- The voices on social media on the right,
- 00:16:36.284 --> 00:16:39.654
- From conservative-ish influencers,
- 00:16:39.654 --> 00:16:43.224
- Have gotten to a point
- 00:16:43.224 --> 00:16:44.892
- Where they are doing very much similar things
- 00:16:44.892 --> 00:16:47.662
- That the mainstream media have done
- 00:16:47.662 --> 00:16:49.697
- Where they find one thing
- 00:16:49.697 --> 00:16:51.265
- And latch onto it and don't let go,
- 00:16:51.265 --> 00:16:53.868
- And that becomes the narrative,
- 00:16:53.868 --> 00:16:55.870
- When in reality, they are releasing the numbers
- 00:16:55.870 --> 00:16:59.340
- Of how much violent criminals they've taken down,
- 00:16:59.340 --> 00:17:02.009
- How many terror attacks they've stopped,
- 00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:04.178
- Things of that nature.
- 00:17:04.178 --> 00:17:05.379
- The fbi is trying to be transparent
- 00:17:05.379 --> 00:17:06.581
- With what they are doing.
- 00:17:06.581 --> 00:17:08.182
- But i do feel like there's a lot of influencers,
- 00:17:08.182 --> 00:17:10.184
- Like he mentioned the jacket that didn't fit.
- 00:17:10.184 --> 00:17:13.754
- - yeah, i don't know- - it was a hit piece-
- 00:17:13.754 --> 00:17:15.623
- - anything about that one. - that was printed
- 00:17:15.623 --> 00:17:16.924
- In "the new york post" by miranda devine
- 00:17:16.924 --> 00:17:18.793
- About how bad he is at his job.
- 00:17:18.793 --> 00:17:21.762
- It was a hit piece by anonymous sources.
- 00:17:21.762 --> 00:17:24.665
- So it wasn't like he was putting that out there,
- 00:17:24.665 --> 00:17:27.868
- Like, "i'm gonna talk about this only,"
- 00:17:27.868 --> 00:17:29.937
- It was a hit piece, he responded to it.
- 00:17:29.937 --> 00:17:31.739
- And eric swalwell picked it up and ran with it.
- 00:17:31.739 --> 00:17:35.243
- So to some degree, a lot of people
- 00:17:35.243 --> 00:17:36.944
- That are hearing things like this
- 00:17:36.944 --> 00:17:38.179
- Are then taking the bait
- 00:17:38.179 --> 00:17:40.448
- That people like eric swalwell are taking.
- 00:17:40.448 --> 00:17:42.850
- I agree with you on the january 6th pipe bomber.
- 00:17:42.850 --> 00:17:45.219
- I would prefer to have someone
- 00:17:45.219 --> 00:17:46.821
- That planted active devices at the rnc and dnc
- 00:17:46.821 --> 00:17:50.057
- Not roaming the streets.
- 00:17:50.057 --> 00:17:51.826
- I do agree there are other people
- 00:17:51.826 --> 00:17:53.728
- That should be looked at and investigated.
- 00:17:53.728 --> 00:17:56.297
- There is the other thing too,
- 00:17:56.297 --> 00:17:57.865
- If there's no law that they can prove
- 00:17:57.865 --> 00:17:59.967
- Beyond a reasonable doubt in court,
- 00:17:59.967 --> 00:18:02.203
- Then they're probably not gonna get indicted by the doj.
- 00:18:02.203 --> 00:18:05.406
- The comey situation was a disappointment.
- 00:18:05.406 --> 00:18:08.009
- It was rushed through at the end
- 00:18:08.009 --> 00:18:09.910
- Because the statute of limitations was running out.
- 00:18:09.910 --> 00:18:12.546
- And i agree with the caller as well.
- 00:18:12.546 --> 00:18:15.149
- Yes, the attorney general
- 00:18:15.149 --> 00:18:16.784
- Does have to, at the end of the day, move forward,
- 00:18:16.784 --> 00:18:19.186
- Or us attorney, not necessarily her
- 00:18:19.186 --> 00:18:20.788
- Signing off on everything. - they're working hand in hand
- 00:18:20.788 --> 00:18:22.256
- A lot. - but the doj
- 00:18:22.256 --> 00:18:23.190
- Is who takes the evidence
- 00:18:23.190 --> 00:18:25.059
- Gathered by the fbi,
- 00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:26.627
- And then proceeds with prosecution.
- 00:18:26.627 --> 00:18:28.863
- So yes, that's how that works.
- 00:18:28.863 --> 00:18:30.965
- But i think that the doj
- 00:18:30.965 --> 00:18:32.333
- Has been doing a very good job
- 00:18:32.333 --> 00:18:33.768
- About prosecuting who they can
- 00:18:33.768 --> 00:18:35.903
- And not prosecuting who they cannot.
- 00:18:35.903 --> 00:18:37.872
- And so we'll have to see how it plays out.
- 00:18:37.872 --> 00:18:39.840
- But i'm not at the point where a lot of people are
- 00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:42.243
- That i've given up all faith in the system.
- 00:18:42.243 --> 00:18:44.145
- - we actually have a lot of comments coming in,
- 00:18:44.145 --> 00:18:46.113
- And one of 'em just said,
- 00:18:46.113 --> 00:18:47.648
- "it's surprising that we as conservatives are skeptical,
- 00:18:47.648 --> 00:18:49.583
- Even though i trust patel and bongino,
- 00:18:49.583 --> 00:18:51.152
- We had the last regime lie to us about everything."
- 00:18:51.152 --> 00:18:53.354
- I think there is part of that,
- 00:18:53.354 --> 00:18:54.555
- There is some fatigue
- 00:18:54.555 --> 00:18:56.090
- In terms of when you hear the fbi,
- 00:18:56.090 --> 00:18:59.327
- You hear the cia,
- 00:18:59.327 --> 00:19:00.494
- You hear the department of justice,
- 00:19:00.494 --> 00:19:02.596
- Maybe because you had four years of trauma,
- 00:19:02.596 --> 00:19:05.366
- You now hear those same three letters
- 00:19:05.366 --> 00:19:08.969
- And immediately think negatively.
- 00:19:08.969 --> 00:19:11.205
- And i do think they have a job to do still to rebuild,
- 00:19:11.205 --> 00:19:14.975
- Like you said, rebuild that trust,
- 00:19:14.975 --> 00:19:16.243
- But also rebuild the trust in the brand,
- 00:19:16.243 --> 00:19:18.045
- 'cause you know it's not everyone has been changed,
- 00:19:18.045 --> 00:19:19.847
- Not everyone has been rooted out.
- 00:19:19.847 --> 00:19:21.449
- It's not how it works in washington dc.
- 00:19:21.449 --> 00:19:24.218
- Not everyone is the same.
- 00:19:24.218 --> 00:19:26.153
- But let's move ahead and get some phone calls here.
- 00:19:26.153 --> 00:19:28.889
- Let's go, there's one actually coming about it,
- 00:19:28.889 --> 00:19:30.691
- Let's go to jeff in ohio on line two.
- 00:19:30.691 --> 00:19:32.760
- Jeff, go ahead.
- 00:19:32.760 --> 00:19:33.928
- - [jeff] yeah, you mentioned it took five years
- 00:19:34.895 --> 00:19:36.330
- To get the pipe bomber,
- 00:19:36.330 --> 00:19:37.798
- But a part of me can't help but wonder
- 00:19:37.798 --> 00:19:41.302
- If the previous administration at the outset,
- 00:19:41.302 --> 00:19:45.106
- That is christopher wray,
- 00:19:45.106 --> 00:19:47.375
- That they knew who the perpetrator was early on,
- 00:19:47.375 --> 00:19:51.712
- But they didn't wanna catch him
- 00:19:51.712 --> 00:19:53.214
- Because it didn't fit the narrative.
- 00:19:53.214 --> 00:19:56.817
- - yeah, jeff, that's obviously a possibility,
- 00:19:56.817 --> 00:20:00.421
- I think more than likely than not.
- 00:20:00.421 --> 00:20:02.056
- It's not that it didn't fit the narrative
- 00:20:02.056 --> 00:20:03.424
- As much as that this was not where their focus was.
- 00:20:03.424 --> 00:20:06.427
- They decided that this was not important,
- 00:20:06.427 --> 00:20:07.995
- For some reason, you may be right,
- 00:20:07.995 --> 00:20:09.630
- They may know who it is, they may have said, "you know what?
- 00:20:09.630 --> 00:20:11.732
- This isn't good for us
- 00:20:11.732 --> 00:20:13.067
- Or this isn't good for any specific reasons."
- 00:20:13.067 --> 00:20:14.702
- We don't have that definitive details.
- 00:20:14.702 --> 00:20:16.237
- What we do know is at least their eye was off the ball,
- 00:20:16.237 --> 00:20:18.105
- Because 10 months into president trump's regime,
- 00:20:18.105 --> 00:20:21.709
- 11 months into his regime,
- 00:20:21.709 --> 00:20:23.110
- We have, at least allegedly,
- 00:20:23.110 --> 00:20:25.746
- That person apprehended only 30 miles from the site.
- 00:20:25.746 --> 00:20:29.984
- - well, and to that point as well, jeff,
- 00:20:29.984 --> 00:20:32.987
- They said they had all the evidence,
- 00:20:32.987 --> 00:20:34.789
- They didn't collect necessarily any new evidence,
- 00:20:34.789 --> 00:20:38.359
- But instead they went through
- 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.261
- What they said was three million lines of data,
- 00:20:40.261 --> 00:20:43.364
- Which is a lot of evidence.
- 00:20:43.364 --> 00:20:44.632
- And a lot of that is cellphone data,
- 00:20:44.632 --> 00:20:47.568
- License plate readers,
- 00:20:48.068 --> 00:20:49.770
- Cameras nearby, things of that nature.
- 00:20:49.770 --> 00:20:51.872
- That's a lot of things to go over.
- 00:20:51.872 --> 00:20:54.108
- And then were able to build the case
- 00:20:54.108 --> 00:20:56.644
- And put it all together
- 00:20:56.644 --> 00:20:58.345
- That it was the person that they were seeking.
- 00:20:58.345 --> 00:21:00.748
- Now, what is unclear
- 00:21:00.748 --> 00:21:02.950
- Is whether or not that that was the assumption
- 00:21:02.950 --> 00:21:06.420
- They then had to work through all the data to confirm
- 00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:09.457
- That a previous fbi had
- 00:21:09.457 --> 00:21:11.692
- That it was this individual
- 00:21:11.692 --> 00:21:12.927
- And just didn't go any further with it,
- 00:21:12.927 --> 00:21:14.361
- Or whether they had all the evidence,
- 00:21:14.361 --> 00:21:16.330
- Had all the data,
- 00:21:16.330 --> 00:21:17.631
- And then didn't do any of the real police work
- 00:21:17.631 --> 00:21:19.166
- To figure out who it was.
- 00:21:19.166 --> 00:21:21.168
- That's what we don't know.
- 00:21:21.168 --> 00:21:22.703
- But to jeff's point,
- 00:21:22.703 --> 00:21:24.538
- It is apparent there was not political will
- 00:21:25.439 --> 00:21:27.675
- Or even police will
- 00:21:27.675 --> 00:21:30.878
- To go after this individual
- 00:21:30.878 --> 00:21:32.680
- That placed two active bombs
- 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.182
- At the site of the dnc and the rnc
- 00:21:35.182 --> 00:21:39.920
- The night before the january 6th unfolded.
- 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.691
- You would think regardless of narrative
- 00:21:43.691 --> 00:21:46.527
- That the fbi would want to be putting someone
- 00:21:46.527 --> 00:21:49.263
- Who placed active bombs at the two
- 00:21:49.263 --> 00:21:52.700
- Leading parties of the united states' headquarters,
- 00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:55.870
- One of which the vice president elect spoke at
- 00:21:55.870 --> 00:22:00.074
- While the bomb was there.
- 00:22:00.074 --> 00:22:01.609
- You would think that the fbi,
- 00:22:01.609 --> 00:22:02.943
- No matter who the administration is,
- 00:22:02.943 --> 00:22:04.445
- Would wanna go after that.
- 00:22:04.445 --> 00:22:05.746
- What do we know?
- 00:22:05.746 --> 00:22:07.181
- Things surrounding arctic frost
- 00:22:07.815 --> 00:22:09.750
- Kicked off very quickly.
- 00:22:09.750 --> 00:22:11.752
- And so whether it be political doj,
- 00:22:11.752 --> 00:22:14.622
- Whether it be political fbi and deep state,
- 00:22:14.622 --> 00:22:19.460
- They went all in
- 00:22:19.827 --> 00:22:21.128
- And they went across the entire country
- 00:22:21.128 --> 00:22:23.130
- And they said domestic terrorism
- 00:22:23.130 --> 00:22:25.165
- Was the largest threat to america.
- 00:22:25.165 --> 00:22:27.601
- And they traced it through all these cases
- 00:22:27.601 --> 00:22:30.271
- Because someone from texas
- 00:22:30.271 --> 00:22:31.739
- Went and stood on the mall that day in washington dc
- 00:22:31.739 --> 00:22:34.775
- And didn't even go inside the capitol,
- 00:22:34.775 --> 00:22:36.577
- But can link to that as a domestic terrorism case.
- 00:22:36.577 --> 00:22:39.813
- They built a political narrative
- 00:22:39.813 --> 00:22:41.382
- Out of the january 6th events
- 00:22:41.382 --> 00:22:43.951
- And they pushed forward
- 00:22:43.951 --> 00:22:45.519
- And they tried to make it so that a republican,
- 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.622
- Whether it be donald trump or anyone else,
- 00:22:48.622 --> 00:22:50.791
- Was so tainted by that
- 00:22:50.791 --> 00:22:52.660
- They would never be able to win another election.
- 00:22:52.660 --> 00:22:55.329
- Now, the events, breaking in the capitol,
- 00:22:55.329 --> 00:22:58.132
- It was not a good thing for our country,
- 00:22:58.132 --> 00:23:00.668
- It was a bad day for our country,
- 00:23:00.668 --> 00:23:02.770
- But they went so far with the political narrative
- 00:23:02.770 --> 00:23:05.673
- That people saw through what they were doing.
- 00:23:05.673 --> 00:23:08.075
- And i think that is evident
- 00:23:08.075 --> 00:23:09.510
- In this entire january 6th pipe bomber case.
- 00:23:09.510 --> 00:23:12.746
- - yeah, there's a lot of comments coming in.
- 00:23:12.746 --> 00:23:14.048
- Many are these sort of,
- 00:23:14.048 --> 00:23:15.149
- I guess, conspiratorial messages.
- 00:23:15.149 --> 00:23:16.817
- People are concerned,
- 00:23:16.817 --> 00:23:18.118
- They have their own theories and thoughts.
- 00:23:18.118 --> 00:23:19.386
- We actually have a call related to that as well.
- 00:23:19.386 --> 00:23:21.021
- I wanna take that.
- 00:23:21.021 --> 00:23:21.956
- Bobby's calling in new york.
- 00:23:21.956 --> 00:23:22.756
- Bobby, go ahead.
- 00:23:22.756 --> 00:23:24.158
- - [bobby] i'm very concerned
- 00:23:24.158 --> 00:23:25.326
- About conspiracy theories on the right.
- 00:23:25.326 --> 00:23:27.561
- I think they're hurting the right very badly.
- 00:23:27.561 --> 00:23:29.697
- You know, a guy named andy,
- 00:23:29.697 --> 00:23:31.298
- No, i think i have the name right.
- 00:23:31.298 --> 00:23:32.800
- And he wrote a book about saying
- 00:23:32.800 --> 00:23:34.234
- How these conspiracy theories on the right
- 00:23:34.234 --> 00:23:36.637
- Are hurting the right very badly.
- 00:23:36.637 --> 00:23:38.606
- And after he wrote that book,
- 00:23:38.606 --> 00:23:39.907
- He started getting hate mail.
- 00:23:39.907 --> 00:23:41.942
- - well, bobby, i don't disagree with you at all
- 00:23:41.942 --> 00:23:43.944
- In terms of the conspiracy theories.
- 00:23:43.944 --> 00:23:45.112
- And look, some of them,
- 00:23:45.112 --> 00:23:46.714
- Some of those conspiracy theories
- 00:23:46.714 --> 00:23:48.282
- Just end up becoming theories and they end up being right.
- 00:23:48.282 --> 00:23:49.783
- So look, i understand that people feel vindicated in that,
- 00:23:49.783 --> 00:23:52.286
- But sometimes they get spurred so far outta control
- 00:23:52.286 --> 00:23:54.655
- That you start losing sight
- 00:23:54.655 --> 00:23:55.823
- Of really what's going on.
- 00:23:55.823 --> 00:23:56.857
- You start making real evidence
- 00:23:56.857 --> 00:23:59.493
- Or try to create evidence
- 00:23:59.493 --> 00:24:00.461
- Of things that aren't true,
- 00:24:00.461 --> 00:24:01.795
- Or you do the, "i'm just asking questions,"
- 00:24:01.795 --> 00:24:04.264
- That we hear from so many people right now,
- 00:24:04.264 --> 00:24:05.899
- Asking questions that lead people down roads
- 00:24:05.899 --> 00:24:08.168
- That are very hard to come back from,
- 00:24:08.168 --> 00:24:10.371
- Roads that really can hurt
- 00:24:10.371 --> 00:24:11.672
- Not just the conservative movement,
- 00:24:11.672 --> 00:24:13.807
- But can hurt you and your family
- 00:24:13.807 --> 00:24:16.143
- And your mental state.
- 00:24:16.143 --> 00:24:18.078
- And i really am concerned
- 00:24:18.078 --> 00:24:19.913
- About even the way my feed on social media looks right now.
- 00:24:19.913 --> 00:24:24.284
- When i open up x,
- 00:24:24.284 --> 00:24:25.853
- There was a time when i feel like elon had just taken over
- 00:24:25.853 --> 00:24:28.922
- And things started sort of shifting
- 00:24:28.922 --> 00:24:30.190
- To more of a center right point of view.
- 00:24:30.190 --> 00:24:32.726
- And now i feel like i'm getting fed,
- 00:24:32.726 --> 00:24:34.261
- And probably is the content i'm interacting with,
- 00:24:34.261 --> 00:24:35.963
- 'cause some of it's so shocking,
- 00:24:35.963 --> 00:24:37.464
- I'm getting fed a endless stream of conspiracy.
- 00:24:37.464 --> 00:24:41.769
- Often targeted conspiracy
- 00:24:42.336 --> 00:24:44.371
- To people of different races or religions,
- 00:24:44.371 --> 00:24:47.007
- And usually without any sort of basis,
- 00:24:47.007 --> 00:24:51.078
- Just pure kind of hate that's coming out.
- 00:24:51.945 --> 00:24:53.847
- And there is that big concern we need to be careful with.
- 00:24:53.847 --> 00:24:56.016
- I think when you're trying to,
- 00:24:56.016 --> 00:24:57.418
- People say, "guard your heart," or something like that.
- 00:24:57.418 --> 00:24:59.019
- There is a lot of that
- 00:24:59.019 --> 00:25:00.220
- That needs to be going on right now.
- 00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.588
- Maybe you need to be taking in a little less
- 00:25:01.588 --> 00:25:03.323
- Or listen to shows like ours.
- 00:25:03.323 --> 00:25:04.858
- Like i don't wanna just be here and self-promote,
- 00:25:04.858 --> 00:25:06.827
- But i think we do a pretty good job
- 00:25:06.827 --> 00:25:08.095
- Of not being those conspiracy theorists.
- 00:25:08.095 --> 00:25:10.431
- We've never been that way.
- 00:25:10.431 --> 00:25:11.665
- We give you the facts.
- 00:25:11.665 --> 00:25:13.300
- People call in with their point of view,
- 00:25:14.168 --> 00:25:15.302
- We'll take them, we'll analyze them,
- 00:25:15.302 --> 00:25:16.737
- We'll give you our response to their opinions.
- 00:25:16.737 --> 00:25:19.606
- But that is what kind of separates
- 00:25:19.606 --> 00:25:20.974
- The work we do here
- 00:25:20.974 --> 00:25:21.875
- From a lot of other shows
- 00:25:21.875 --> 00:25:23.444
- Is we are not just a show,
- 00:25:23.444 --> 00:25:24.611
- We are also a legal organization.
- 00:25:24.611 --> 00:25:26.313
- We can't just come on here
- 00:25:26.313 --> 00:25:27.281
- And say whatever we think
- 00:25:27.281 --> 00:25:28.716
- 'cause we think that's what's gonna drive numbers.
- 00:25:28.716 --> 00:25:30.851
- I'm sure there are members of our social media team
- 00:25:30.851 --> 00:25:32.720
- That wish we would.
- 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.887
- Numbers may be higher
- 00:25:33.887 --> 00:25:35.823
- If we would just come out and say the most outlandish thing
- 00:25:35.823 --> 00:25:38.158
- We can think of right now,
- 00:25:38.158 --> 00:25:39.059
- Rile you up,
- 00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:40.661
- And then ruin your day,
- 00:25:41.161 --> 00:25:42.696
- Probably ruin your thanksgiving,
- 00:25:42.696 --> 00:25:43.931
- Then ruin your christmas,
- 00:25:43.931 --> 00:25:45.766
- 'cause we've decided to put all this in your head.
- 00:25:45.766 --> 00:25:48.435
- What i really hope you do is watch this show
- 00:25:48.435 --> 00:25:50.404
- For one hour a day.
- 00:25:50.404 --> 00:25:52.372
- You think about it,
- 00:25:52.372 --> 00:25:54.074
- Maybe you have a conversation
- 00:25:54.074 --> 00:25:55.576
- That spurs with you and your friends, your family,
- 00:25:55.576 --> 00:25:57.945
- And then you move on with your life.
- 00:25:57.945 --> 00:26:00.080
- That's what i hope.
- 00:26:00.080 --> 00:26:01.315
- I hope we give you all the information
- 00:26:01.315 --> 00:26:02.483
- You need for your day,
- 00:26:02.483 --> 00:26:04.118
- And then you can move on,
- 00:26:04.118 --> 00:26:05.652
- And you don't have to spend 24 hours
- 00:26:05.652 --> 00:26:07.387
- In this sort of endless cycle.
- 00:26:07.387 --> 00:26:08.555
- (upbeat music)
- 00:26:08.555 --> 00:26:08.555
