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
