Sekulow | Sekulow - Shocking News Revealed in Kash Patel Hearing | October 1, 2025
- (beep)
- 00:00:00.433 --> 00:00:00.041
- (upbeat music)
- 00:00:00.408 --> 00:00:18.993
- - we are talking about right now,
- 00:00:19.661 --> 00:00:21.029
- Kash patel senate judiciary committee meeting
- 00:00:21.029 --> 00:00:24.999
- That he does.
- 00:00:24.999 --> 00:00:25.834
- This was fairly regular.
- 00:00:25.834 --> 00:00:26.668
- They host these.
- 00:00:26.668 --> 00:00:28.169
- - that's right. it's part of the oversight function
- 00:00:28.169 --> 00:00:29.370
- Of the senate judiciary committee
- 00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:30.538
- As they host the administration heads
- 00:00:30.538 --> 00:00:32.941
- Of different departments under their purview.
- 00:00:32.941 --> 00:00:34.509
- - what's good is you get kind of an inside look
- 00:00:34.509 --> 00:00:36.077
- Of what's actually going on,
- 00:00:36.077 --> 00:00:37.312
- What's happening in washington dc
- 00:00:37.312 --> 00:00:38.913
- And look, so sometimes it's good to take a little bit
- 00:00:38.913 --> 00:00:41.249
- Of a breather and be able to know what else is going on.
- 00:00:41.249 --> 00:00:43.852
- As again, kash patel faces this committee.
- 00:00:43.852 --> 00:00:46.488
- And what we've learned through him is he's not afraid
- 00:00:46.488 --> 00:00:49.023
- To give actually a decent amount
- 00:00:49.023 --> 00:00:50.125
- Of information at these hearings
- 00:00:50.125 --> 00:00:51.893
- And that is what we have found.
- 00:00:51.893 --> 00:00:53.294
- I just wanna kick off with a soundbite from this.
- 00:00:53.294 --> 00:00:55.363
- So you know, this is something we're paying attention to.
- 00:00:55.363 --> 00:00:56.764
- Will you wanna set this up?
- 00:00:56.764 --> 00:00:58.266
- - yeah, so this is actually from the opening statement
- 00:00:58.266 --> 00:01:00.068
- Of director patel and we'll get into a lot
- 00:01:00.068 --> 00:01:01.936
- Of the other stuff that was asked by the senators as well,
- 00:01:01.936 --> 00:01:05.039
- Including some new information
- 00:01:05.039 --> 00:01:06.474
- On the charlie kirk assassination.
- 00:01:06.474 --> 00:01:09.377
- But i think we should lead with this,
- 00:01:09.377 --> 00:01:10.912
- Where this is him going over the work
- 00:01:10.912 --> 00:01:13.748
- The fbi has done under his leadership
- 00:01:13.748 --> 00:01:17.218
- As compared to last year's numbers from the fbi.
- 00:01:17.218 --> 00:01:20.955
- Let's play bite 19.
- 00:01:20.955 --> 00:01:22.590
- - under this administration,
- 00:01:23.191 --> 00:01:24.692
- The fbi's arrested more than 23,000 violent criminals.
- 00:01:24.692 --> 00:01:28.463
- That's more than twice
- 00:01:28.463 --> 00:01:30.031
- For the same time period from last year alone, 23,000,
- 00:01:30.031 --> 00:01:33.835
- More than twice from the same time period last year.
- 00:01:33.835 --> 00:01:37.105
- We've taken over 6,000 illegal firearms off the streets.
- 00:01:37.105 --> 00:01:41.042
- That number is an exponential increase.
- 00:01:41.042 --> 00:01:43.144
- We've identified and located more than 4,700 child victims.
- 00:01:43.144 --> 00:01:47.749
- More than 4,700 child victims have been found by this fbi.
- 00:01:47.749 --> 00:01:51.619
- That is a 35% increase from the same time period last year.
- 00:01:51.619 --> 00:01:56.558
- 1,500 child predators have been arrested.
- 00:01:57.458 --> 00:02:00.461
- That's a 5% increase from the same time last year.
- 00:02:00.461 --> 00:02:03.531
- 300 human traffickers have been arrested.
- 00:02:03.531 --> 00:02:06.935
- That's a 10% increase from the same time last year.
- 00:02:06.935 --> 00:02:11.206
- Over 350 members of tren de aragua,
- 00:02:11.206 --> 00:02:14.042
- Foreign terrorist organization have been arrested,
- 00:02:14.042 --> 00:02:17.178
- And we have 42 ongoing cases.
- 00:02:17.178 --> 00:02:19.447
- That is a 250% increase from the same time last year.
- 00:02:19.447 --> 00:02:24.419
- Those are just some of the things
- 00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:25.820
- The fbi is doing differently and better
- 00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:28.523
- Because we are leading the mission
- 00:02:28.523 --> 00:02:29.824
- To crush violent crime and defend the homeland.
- 00:02:29.824 --> 00:02:32.360
- We have also arrested four,
- 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.663
- Captured four top 10 fugitives from the fbi's
- 00:02:35.663 --> 00:02:39.167
- Top 10 most wanted list.
- 00:02:39.167 --> 00:02:41.369
- To put that in perspective,
- 00:02:41.369 --> 00:02:43.171
- That's the same amount i've captured in seven months
- 00:02:43.171 --> 00:02:46.074
- Than my predecessor did during
- 00:02:46.074 --> 00:02:47.375
- The entirety of the biden administration.
- 00:02:47.375 --> 00:02:49.811
- Those are real results and the credit is
- 00:02:49.811 --> 00:02:51.546
- To the men and women at the fbi.
- 00:02:51.546 --> 00:02:53.781
- - again, that's kash patel, just this morning.
- 00:02:53.781 --> 00:02:55.950
- It's happening right now as we speak.
- 00:02:55.950 --> 00:02:57.785
- If you're watching live that is a meeting
- 00:02:57.785 --> 00:02:59.187
- With the us senate judiciary.
- 00:02:59.187 --> 00:03:01.189
- That's happening.
- 00:03:01.189 --> 00:03:02.924
- You know, he has to answer all these questions.
- 00:03:02.924 --> 00:03:04.459
- And what's good about this is, look, we can go
- 00:03:04.459 --> 00:03:06.728
- Through a week of chaos and issues,
- 00:03:06.728 --> 00:03:09.230
- But let's look at a bigger picture here.
- 00:03:09.230 --> 00:03:10.765
- And that bigger picture is a lot of what the fbi is doing
- 00:03:10.765 --> 00:03:14.002
- Has resulted in very positive results.
- 00:03:14.002 --> 00:03:16.671
- I mean, just alone, you just wanna take
- 00:03:16.671 --> 00:03:18.606
- The 4,700 child victims since they took over.
- 00:03:18.606 --> 00:03:22.744
- 4,700, nearly 5,000 child victims
- 00:03:22.744 --> 00:03:27.649
- Have been located, identified and located,
- 00:03:27.649 --> 00:03:31.252
- And found by the fbi.
- 00:03:31.252 --> 00:03:32.754
- Is the 35% increase from the previous year.
- 00:03:33.655 --> 00:03:36.624
- He goes through a lot of other stats,
- 00:03:36.624 --> 00:03:37.959
- But that's the big one that jumps out to me.
- 00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:39.694
- When you look at this, obviously there's a lot
- 00:03:39.694 --> 00:03:41.262
- Of different ones,
- 00:03:41.262 --> 00:03:42.597
- But that one is one we should be celebrating.
- 00:03:42.597 --> 00:03:44.432
- - i think, and we can talk to that a little bit as well.
- 00:03:44.432 --> 00:03:46.868
- And there's a lot more coming from this hearing
- 00:03:46.868 --> 00:03:49.304
- That we'll get into in the next segment,
- 00:03:49.304 --> 00:03:51.139
- Including the way that they're handling attacks
- 00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:53.741
- On churches on christians, as well as some update
- 00:03:53.741 --> 00:03:56.577
- On that investigation into the assassination
- 00:03:56.577 --> 00:03:58.713
- Of charlie kirk.
- 00:03:58.713 --> 00:03:59.947
- I mean, showing real results
- 00:03:59.947 --> 00:04:01.716
- And actually getting back to the mission
- 00:04:01.716 --> 00:04:04.018
- Of what the fbi is supposed to be doing
- 00:04:04.018 --> 00:04:06.154
- As opposed to the politicization
- 00:04:06.154 --> 00:04:07.922
- That we saw in the previous administration.
- 00:04:07.922 --> 00:04:09.290
- - and i see a lot of comments coming into, hey,
- 00:04:09.290 --> 00:04:10.858
- They didn't do anything with the charlie kirk situation
- 00:04:10.858 --> 00:04:12.827
- And the dad had to turn him in.
- 00:04:12.827 --> 00:04:14.796
- Obviously it was a fairly short amount of time.
- 00:04:14.796 --> 00:04:16.497
- But if you have frustrations
- 00:04:16.497 --> 00:04:17.899
- Even with this fbi that's okay, you can call in.
- 00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:19.100
- I wanna hear from you.
- 00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:20.668
- (upbeat music)
- 00:04:21.035 --> 00:04:25.001
- (upbeat music)
- 00:04:25.001 --> 00:04:25.332
- (upbeat music)
- 00:04:25.699 --> 00:04:27.467
- - we are talking about that committee hearing right now
- 00:04:27.467 --> 00:04:30.003
- That kash patel is releasing a lot of information.
- 00:04:30.003 --> 00:04:32.706
- Again, not just about current events,
- 00:04:32.706 --> 00:04:34.141
- What's happening in the news, but also even some
- 00:04:34.141 --> 00:04:36.410
- Of the crime statistics that are coming in,
- 00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:37.978
- Including the rescuing of thousands
- 00:04:37.978 --> 00:04:39.780
- Of children off the streets.
- 00:04:39.780 --> 00:04:41.181
- Much more so than his predecessor.
- 00:04:41.181 --> 00:04:42.816
- Went through a lot of those specific details.
- 00:04:42.816 --> 00:04:44.951
- But there are some updates
- 00:04:44.951 --> 00:04:46.420
- On some of those breaking news items.
- 00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:48.088
- Let's break down a little bit though.
- 00:04:48.088 --> 00:04:49.389
- What's going on with this hearing.
- 00:04:49.389 --> 00:04:51.591
- Now this isn't something that has happened will
- 00:04:51.591 --> 00:04:53.326
- And because of the charlie kirk assassination.
- 00:04:53.326 --> 00:04:56.062
- But because these can't happen on a regular basis though,
- 00:04:56.062 --> 00:04:58.398
- This has been the first one really he's done
- 00:04:58.398 --> 00:05:00.801
- To this specific group.
- 00:05:00.801 --> 00:05:03.003
- We have seen, tulsi gabbard,
- 00:05:03.603 --> 00:05:05.105
- We have seen other people have these kind of hearings
- 00:05:05.105 --> 00:05:07.240
- And it is a bit more transparent
- 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.176
- Than it feels like it was for the last decade.
- 00:05:09.176 --> 00:05:11.478
- The last four years.
- 00:05:11.478 --> 00:05:12.579
- - yeah. how many times did you hear
- 00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:14.014
- Director ray say, i don't know, i don't know?
- 00:05:14.014 --> 00:05:16.983
- Many times when director patel was saying,
- 00:05:16.983 --> 00:05:19.286
- I don't know, they were asking
- 00:05:19.286 --> 00:05:20.420
- For like a very specific precise number
- 00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:22.789
- At a very individualized field office.
- 00:05:22.789 --> 00:05:26.326
- Like how many people have either resigned at this specific
- 00:05:26.326 --> 00:05:29.596
- Field office and he's like, i don't know that,
- 00:05:29.596 --> 00:05:31.932
- But i will get you the response.
- 00:05:31.932 --> 00:05:34.434
- With director ray,
- 00:05:34.434 --> 00:05:36.102
- It was always something broad like
- 00:05:36.102 --> 00:05:38.338
- Why was the fbi targeting catholic churches?
- 00:05:38.338 --> 00:05:41.274
- And he's like, i don't know.
- 00:05:41.274 --> 00:05:42.542
- I feel like it was just one field office.
- 00:05:42.542 --> 00:05:43.844
- So you're already seeing a difference
- 00:05:43.844 --> 00:05:45.512
- In the tone, the transparency.
- 00:05:45.512 --> 00:05:46.980
- I did like the laying out of the statistics
- 00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:49.583
- Of what the fbi has already done.
- 00:05:49.583 --> 00:05:51.818
- I mean 23,000 violent criminals
- 00:05:51.818 --> 00:05:54.554
- That they have arrested since he has been the director.
- 00:05:54.554 --> 00:05:58.225
- 6,000 illegal firearms,
- 00:05:58.225 --> 00:06:01.561
- That have been taken off the streets.
- 00:06:01.561 --> 00:06:03.263
- These are things that every american
- 00:06:03.263 --> 00:06:04.698
- Should be celebrating because now
- 00:06:04.698 --> 00:06:06.733
- One of the main criticisms we had about the fbi
- 00:06:06.733 --> 00:06:09.503
- Under james comey and then director ray,
- 00:06:09.503 --> 00:06:12.372
- Was that the fbi had become a political machine.
- 00:06:12.372 --> 00:06:15.876
- It had almost gone back to that j. edgar hoover era
- 00:06:15.876 --> 00:06:19.579
- Where the director was able to utilize
- 00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:23.550
- And wield the fbi as a political force.
- 00:06:23.550 --> 00:06:26.486
- And that's what they were doing.
- 00:06:26.486 --> 00:06:27.954
- They were doing political investigations.
- 00:06:27.954 --> 00:06:31.424
- They were doing political hit jobs.
- 00:06:31.424 --> 00:06:34.561
- They were going after parents at school board meetings.
- 00:06:34.561 --> 00:06:36.897
- They were going after pro-life advocates.
- 00:06:36.897 --> 00:06:39.566
- They were going after the catholic churches out of richmond
- 00:06:39.566 --> 00:06:43.670
- And trying to make that a widespread fbi policy.
- 00:06:43.670 --> 00:06:46.673
- What he's showing here is that
- 00:06:46.673 --> 00:06:48.875
- By shifting the priorities back to police work
- 00:06:48.875 --> 00:06:51.511
- And assisting local police forces,
- 00:06:51.511 --> 00:06:54.080
- You can get real results.
- 00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:55.882
- When you're seeing that much percentage increase.
- 00:06:55.882 --> 00:06:59.419
- And even the fact
- 00:06:59.419 --> 00:07:00.987
- That they've caught four on the fbi's 10 most wanted list,
- 00:07:00.987 --> 00:07:03.924
- That's more than all of the biden administration,
- 00:07:03.924 --> 00:07:06.927
- And they've done that in six months.
- 00:07:06.927 --> 00:07:08.662
- That's showing real results to the american people.
- 00:07:08.662 --> 00:07:11.398
- And to some degree i think that there are people
- 00:07:11.398 --> 00:07:14.000
- That are conservatives that were fans of kash patel,
- 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.270
- That are buying in a little bit
- 00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:18.838
- To what the media is putting out out there.
- 00:07:18.838 --> 00:07:21.074
- They're trying to show chaos,
- 00:07:21.074 --> 00:07:22.709
- They're trying to show that the fbi has low morale,
- 00:07:22.709 --> 00:07:25.712
- That things aren't happening the way they thought.
- 00:07:25.712 --> 00:07:28.181
- But in reality, one,
- 00:07:28.181 --> 00:07:30.150
- The fbi is doing the work they're supposed to do.
- 00:07:30.150 --> 00:07:31.985
- So if you haven't seen quite the results yet on some
- 00:07:31.985 --> 00:07:34.487
- Of the higher profile things that you want, one,
- 00:07:34.487 --> 00:07:37.223
- If they've done investigation,
- 00:07:37.223 --> 00:07:38.792
- A lot of that is in the hands of the doj,
- 00:07:38.792 --> 00:07:40.894
- When we know that they've impaneled grand juries
- 00:07:40.894 --> 00:07:42.596
- In some of those.
- 00:07:42.596 --> 00:07:43.530
- So that's outta the fbi's hands.
- 00:07:43.530 --> 00:07:45.198
- But also it shows this is the work of the fbi
- 00:07:45.198 --> 00:07:48.501
- To make america safe again.
- 00:07:48.501 --> 00:07:51.304
- That is what president trump ran on.
- 00:07:51.304 --> 00:07:53.239
- That is what the fbi's change from being
- 00:07:53.239 --> 00:07:55.942
- A political organization that's supposed
- 00:07:55.942 --> 00:07:59.479
- To be quasi-independent as they would say
- 00:07:59.479 --> 00:08:02.482
- Because of law enforcement not directed by the president.
- 00:08:02.482 --> 00:08:05.051
- But we saw how that happened under the last administration,
- 00:08:05.051 --> 00:08:09.556
- That the law enforcement capacity
- 00:08:09.556 --> 00:08:12.258
- Of the american government
- 00:08:12.258 --> 00:08:14.894
- Was weaponized in a political fashion.
- 00:08:14.894 --> 00:08:17.797
- They're getting away from that.
- 00:08:17.797 --> 00:08:19.432
- And these numbers really speak to that. it's impressive.
- 00:08:19.432 --> 00:08:22.268
- And i think that kash patel,
- 00:08:22.268 --> 00:08:23.737
- The director has done a good job of laying this out
- 00:08:23.737 --> 00:08:26.406
- And we'll get to some more sound here in a second.
- 00:08:26.406 --> 00:08:28.341
- - yeah, i am curious. i see a lot of comments coming in.
- 00:08:28.341 --> 00:08:31.111
- Some of them are not happy with kash patel, including people
- 00:08:31.111 --> 00:08:34.114
- Who have really say they don't have
- 00:08:34.114 --> 00:08:35.949
- A lot of trust in him at this point.
- 00:08:35.949 --> 00:08:37.484
- I wanna know much like what we have on certain guests.
- 00:08:37.484 --> 00:08:40.587
- What is it, what was the tipping point for you?
- 00:08:40.587 --> 00:08:42.522
- Why do you feel like you cannot trust
- 00:08:42.522 --> 00:08:44.491
- This man anymore in this position?
- 00:08:44.491 --> 00:08:46.126
- Because it feel like you're talking
- 00:08:46.126 --> 00:08:47.627
- About a pretty strong name.
- 00:08:47.627 --> 00:08:49.562
- Kash patel, dan bongino
- 00:08:49.562 --> 00:08:50.897
- Have kind of fulfilled that promise.
- 00:08:50.897 --> 00:08:53.199
- Now look, everyone's gonna have issues.
- 00:08:53.199 --> 00:08:54.934
- There's gonna be problems here and there, but the full lack
- 00:08:54.934 --> 00:08:57.003
- Of trust is when you have a fairly transparent,
- 00:08:57.003 --> 00:09:00.240
- Seems like a guy.
- 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.941
- Just curious your thoughts.
- 00:09:01.941 --> 00:09:02.842
- Tell me why.
- 00:09:02.842 --> 00:09:03.677
- Gimme a call.
- 00:09:03.677 --> 00:09:04.878
- Right now when we look at the future
- 00:09:04.878 --> 00:09:05.979
- Of what society's gonna look like,
- 00:09:05.979 --> 00:09:07.280
- That we don't build only these echo chambers
- 00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:09.315
- That can result in extremes.
- 00:09:09.315 --> 00:09:11.418
- You want people who are gonna be honest with you,
- 00:09:11.418 --> 00:09:12.919
- That's gonna tell you the truth.
- 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.087
- That's what we do here.
- 00:09:14.087 --> 00:09:15.622
- Whether you like it or not, whether you agree with it or not
- 00:09:15.622 --> 00:09:17.057
- We give you our honest assessment from the law,
- 00:09:17.057 --> 00:09:19.559
- Our honest assessment from the way media decides
- 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.695
- To manipulate you or have conversations with you.
- 00:09:21.695 --> 00:09:23.897
- And look, you've heard from our offices at the eclj,
- 00:09:23.897 --> 00:09:26.399
- You've heard from offices in jerusalem.
- 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.867
- Let's go ahead and take a phone call though.
- 00:09:27.867 --> 00:09:29.402
- Let's go to ronald on rumble line one. go ahead.
- 00:09:29.402 --> 00:09:32.872
- - [ronald] yes. thanks for taking my call. yes.
- 00:09:32.872 --> 00:09:35.608
- Truly enjoyed the comments that you and will had made
- 00:09:35.608 --> 00:09:40.246
- Concerning the contrast between the previous administration
- 00:09:40.246 --> 00:09:43.650
- And the current administration.
- 00:09:43.650 --> 00:09:45.218
- And i could see that the frustration
- 00:09:45.218 --> 00:09:47.654
- That boyle had actually experienced
- 00:09:47.654 --> 00:09:51.825
- Because of the fact of seeing all of the power
- 00:09:51.825 --> 00:09:55.095
- Of the fbi and the department of justice literally.
- 00:09:55.095 --> 00:09:58.331
- - hey ronald, i'm gonna pause you for a second,
- 00:09:58.331 --> 00:09:59.866
- Because i want maybe will can explain
- 00:09:59.866 --> 00:10:01.334
- People who don't know what you're referring to.
- 00:10:01.334 --> 00:10:02.836
- We're talking about o' boyle who was a whistleblower--
- 00:10:02.836 --> 00:10:05.305
- - [will] garret o'boyle.
- 00:10:05.305 --> 00:10:06.573
- - garret o'boyle, whose case was just resolved.
- 00:10:06.573 --> 00:10:08.074
- Let's give people, we'll go right back to you ronald,
- 00:10:08.074 --> 00:10:09.609
- But i realize that i do this sometimes
- 00:10:09.609 --> 00:10:11.044
- When there's brand new people,
- 00:10:11.044 --> 00:10:12.011
- We don't give them any context
- 00:10:12.011 --> 00:10:13.179
- What we're talking about here.
- 00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:14.447
- Give a little brief background on that.
- 00:10:14.447 --> 00:10:15.715
- - yeah. garret o' boyle was an fbi agent
- 00:10:15.715 --> 00:10:17.584
- That was a whistleblower trying to point out some
- 00:10:17.584 --> 00:10:19.652
- Of the misuse and weaponization and bias of the fbi.
- 00:10:19.652 --> 00:10:24.124
- And as a result of that,
- 00:10:24.124 --> 00:10:25.592
- He had his security clearance suspended
- 00:10:25.592 --> 00:10:27.427
- And he was suspended without pay for years.
- 00:10:27.427 --> 00:10:29.763
- And we fought alongside in power oversight
- 00:10:29.763 --> 00:10:32.732
- To get a resolution.
- 00:10:32.732 --> 00:10:34.267
- He has now been reinstated to the fbi
- 00:10:34.267 --> 00:10:37.170
- With back pay and benefits
- 00:10:37.170 --> 00:10:40.106
- For all that harm that was done to him and his family.
- 00:10:40.106 --> 00:10:42.342
- We also secured one for marcus allen.
- 00:10:42.342 --> 00:10:44.310
- Very similar type circumstances.
- 00:10:44.310 --> 00:10:46.212
- So ronald was just pointing out
- 00:10:46.212 --> 00:10:47.647
- That this fbi is also bringing back people
- 00:10:47.647 --> 00:10:50.049
- That were unfairly targeted
- 00:10:50.049 --> 00:10:51.651
- For even blowing the whistle on their politicization.
- 00:10:51.651 --> 00:10:54.387
- - we may never hear from them again
- 00:10:54.387 --> 00:10:55.889
- Because now they are back again in kash patel's oversight,
- 00:10:55.889 --> 00:10:59.192
- If you will, which is pretty great.
- 00:10:59.192 --> 00:11:00.727
- Let's go back to you ronald though.
- 00:11:00.727 --> 00:11:02.162
- Just wanna get people to understand it. go ahead.
- 00:11:02.162 --> 00:11:04.531
- - [ronald] yes, sure thing.
- 00:11:04.531 --> 00:11:05.965
- And that is why there was just a big contrast
- 00:11:05.965 --> 00:11:07.767
- Between the previous administration
- 00:11:07.767 --> 00:11:09.836
- And the current administration
- 00:11:09.836 --> 00:11:11.271
- And the fact that the numbers say it all
- 00:11:11.271 --> 00:11:15.208
- As kash patel was literally just explaining the numbers,
- 00:11:15.208 --> 00:11:18.611
- Literally just explains it all.
- 00:11:18.611 --> 00:11:21.281
- And the children that were discovered.
- 00:11:21.281 --> 00:11:25.285
- - [logan] that's the shocking number.
- 00:11:26.052 --> 00:11:27.320
- - [ronald] not just discovered, just rescued
- 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.788
- Because who knows what type
- 00:11:28.788 --> 00:11:30.423
- Of crime situation they would've been involved in.
- 00:11:30.423 --> 00:11:33.092
- Just rescued.
- 00:11:33.092 --> 00:11:34.627
- - yeah. 1,500 child predators and over 4,500 i believe.
- 00:11:34.627 --> 00:11:38.264
- So 4,700. - [will] 4,700.
- 00:11:38.264 --> 00:11:39.899
- - child victims have been found by this fbi.
- 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:43.236
- I think it's at a 35% increase.
- 00:11:43.236 --> 00:11:45.238
- Look they could do nothing else.
- 00:11:45.238 --> 00:11:47.607
- There could be zero other statistics showing good
- 00:11:47.607 --> 00:11:50.310
- This fbi is doing, which of course there are
- 00:11:50.310 --> 00:11:52.612
- Great statistics and that alone is worth it.
- 00:11:52.612 --> 00:11:55.748
- That alone shows that we have such a changing
- 00:11:55.748 --> 00:11:57.450
- Of the guard here where we're taking
- 00:11:57.450 --> 00:11:59.352
- The most serious of cases serious,
- 00:11:59.352 --> 00:12:01.254
- Which of course there is nothing more serious
- 00:12:01.254 --> 00:12:03.423
- Than the victimization of children in this country.
- 00:12:03.423 --> 00:12:07.126
- - well, and to point out the hypocrisy of the left,
- 00:12:07.126 --> 00:12:10.597
- Right now, they're trying to say all these things
- 00:12:10.597 --> 00:12:12.498
- Are covering up for epstein.
- 00:12:12.498 --> 00:12:14.801
- When 4,700 victims have been found by the fbi,
- 00:12:14.801 --> 00:12:18.371
- 1,500 child predators
- 00:12:18.371 --> 00:12:20.406
- And 300 human traffickers have been arrested.
- 00:12:20.406 --> 00:12:23.443
- So almost 2000 perpetrators
- 00:12:23.443 --> 00:12:25.311
- Of these crimes against children.
- 00:12:25.311 --> 00:12:27.847
- Those are huge numbers that cannot be overlooked
- 00:12:27.847 --> 00:12:32.252
- That the fbi is doing the real work of people
- 00:12:32.252 --> 00:12:34.354
- That are still being victimized today,
- 00:12:34.354 --> 00:12:36.522
- Not what the left has all of a sudden co-opted
- 00:12:36.522 --> 00:12:38.892
- As their own hit job against the president
- 00:12:38.892 --> 00:12:41.461
- And something that cannot be prosecuted further.
- 00:12:41.461 --> 00:12:45.298
- So we look at this and see real action
- 00:12:45.298 --> 00:12:48.034
- And real numbers by the fbi that cannot be overlooked.
- 00:12:48.034 --> 00:12:50.536
- - the numbers are undeniable.
- 00:12:50.536 --> 00:12:52.372
- Like i said, there's a lot of different ones.
- 00:12:52.372 --> 00:12:53.840
- 6,000 illegal firearms,
- 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.375
- 23,000 violent crimes or under 23,000.
- 00:12:55.375 --> 00:12:59.479
- A lot of these issues are getting better and better.
- 00:12:59.479 --> 00:13:02.415
- But the one that really stuck out to me,
- 00:13:02.415 --> 00:13:03.850
- 1,500 child predators arrested.
- 00:13:03.850 --> 00:13:06.819
- 4,700 child victims that have been found
- 00:13:06.819 --> 00:13:10.523
- By the fbi and that is a over 35% increase
- 00:13:11.424 --> 00:13:15.461
- From the previous administrations.
- 00:13:15.461 --> 00:13:17.597
- That is a shocking number.
- 00:13:18.164 --> 00:13:20.633
- It's a startling number that there aren't one.
- 00:13:20.633 --> 00:13:22.268
- You gotta start putting into perspective
- 00:13:22.268 --> 00:13:24.170
- If 4,700 victims have been found, how many have not?
- 00:13:24.170 --> 00:13:27.573
- How many are still out there?
- 00:13:27.573 --> 00:13:29.275
- You're talking about probably 10s of thousands if not more
- 00:13:29.275 --> 00:13:32.345
- Just in our country.
- 00:13:32.345 --> 00:13:33.780
- That's a whole nother issue that we hope
- 00:13:34.647 --> 00:13:36.649
- To keep fighting and fighting.
- 00:13:36.649 --> 00:13:38.184
- And a lot of those are connected too.
- 00:13:38.184 --> 00:13:39.519
- The thing is, when you have organized crime,
- 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.821
- You have drug trafficking,
- 00:13:41.821 --> 00:13:43.056
- A lot of times you have human trafficking,
- 00:13:43.056 --> 00:13:44.657
- You have weapons, you have humans.
- 00:13:44.657 --> 00:13:46.392
- A lot of times these are not necessarily guys
- 00:13:46.392 --> 00:13:48.828
- Who just deal in one or the other.
- 00:13:48.828 --> 00:13:50.563
- They're dealing in all kinds of crime.
- 00:13:50.563 --> 00:13:52.398
- And we gotta make sure that we have a team put together
- 00:13:52.398 --> 00:13:54.334
- And that we're supportive by the way, also of a team
- 00:13:54.334 --> 00:13:56.669
- That can speak into this and can get things done.
- 00:13:56.669 --> 00:13:59.205
- (upbeat music)
- 00:13:59.205 --> 00:14:03.003
- (upbeat music)
- 00:14:03.003 --> 00:14:03.235
- (upbeat music)
- 00:14:03.602 --> 00:14:06.271
- - welcome back to sekulow.
- 00:14:06.271 --> 00:14:08.006
- We are gonna take your phone calls coming up,
- 00:14:08.006 --> 00:14:09.674
- Some in this segment, some in the next.
- 00:14:09.674 --> 00:14:11.543
- We actually have some sound we wanna play.
- 00:14:11.543 --> 00:14:12.944
- We wanna make sure that you can, if you're listening
- 00:14:12.944 --> 00:14:14.479
- In video, if you're watching, so you hear it from them,
- 00:14:14.479 --> 00:14:17.416
- Not just us giving you commentary on it.
- 00:14:17.416 --> 00:14:18.984
- 'cause now if you're watching us, you're probably not able
- 00:14:18.984 --> 00:14:21.053
- To flip over and watch them at the same time.
- 00:14:21.053 --> 00:14:23.021
- So will, why don't you give us a setup for this.
- 00:14:23.021 --> 00:14:24.623
- - that's right. so this is following a discussion
- 00:14:24.623 --> 00:14:26.658
- That senator hawley had
- 00:14:26.658 --> 00:14:28.193
- With director patel about the investigation
- 00:14:28.193 --> 00:14:31.396
- And the aftermath of the charlie kirk assassination,
- 00:14:31.396 --> 00:14:34.266
- Where director patel revealed
- 00:14:34.266 --> 00:14:36.668
- That there are more than 20 individuals
- 00:14:36.668 --> 00:14:38.537
- That they are investigating,
- 00:14:38.537 --> 00:14:40.372
- Trying to get information on to make sure
- 00:14:40.372 --> 00:14:42.140
- That there wasn't any other people involved with that.
- 00:14:42.140 --> 00:14:45.277
- But this is where senator hawley broadened it out,
- 00:14:45.277 --> 00:14:48.780
- The discussion talking about
- 00:14:48.780 --> 00:14:50.982
- What we've seen is violence against,
- 00:14:50.982 --> 00:14:54.186
- Anti-religious violence, anti-christian violence
- 00:14:54.186 --> 00:14:57.022
- And things of that nature, which have really expanded
- 00:14:57.022 --> 00:14:59.658
- In the past few years.
- 00:14:59.658 --> 00:15:01.026
- You've seen a lot of school shootings
- 00:15:01.026 --> 00:15:03.528
- That have been religiously motivated.
- 00:15:03.528 --> 00:15:06.198
- You've seen things that have been stopped
- 00:15:06.198 --> 00:15:08.900
- By federal law enforcement in the past year or so
- 00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:13.271
- That were religiously motivated attacks on schools
- 00:15:13.271 --> 00:15:16.308
- That have been thwarted.
- 00:15:16.308 --> 00:15:17.843
- So this is a problem that the center sees is growing.
- 00:15:18.944 --> 00:15:21.847
- He asked this question
- 00:15:21.847 --> 00:15:23.148
- And i want you to hear the director's response.
- 00:15:23.148 --> 00:15:25.117
- This is bite 16 between senator josh hawley
- 00:15:25.117 --> 00:15:28.120
- And director patel.
- 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.222
- - let me just turn to the broader question here
- 00:15:30.222 --> 00:15:32.591
- Of anti-religious, anti-christian violence.
- 00:15:32.591 --> 00:15:34.526
- Let me just give you a few stats
- 00:15:34.526 --> 00:15:35.927
- That i'm sure that you're all too familiar with.
- 00:15:35.927 --> 00:15:37.796
- Every person of faith in america certainly is.
- 00:15:37.796 --> 00:15:39.865
- Major report this past year found that there
- 00:15:39.865 --> 00:15:42.434
- Have been over 400 instances of hostility
- 00:15:42.434 --> 00:15:46.471
- Against churches in the united states in the year 2024.
- 00:15:46.471 --> 00:15:48.773
- Those included arsons, bomb threats, shootings
- 00:15:48.773 --> 00:15:52.711
- And firearm incidents.
- 00:15:52.711 --> 00:15:54.746
- One another organizational report found
- 00:15:54.746 --> 00:15:56.781
- That there were 500 attacks on catholic parishes alone.
- 00:15:56.781 --> 00:16:01.686
- So that number 415, that's all christian churches in 2024.
- 00:16:01.686 --> 00:16:05.657
- Another organization found 500 separate attacks
- 00:16:05.657 --> 00:16:08.593
- On just catholic parishes since may of 2020.
- 00:16:08.593 --> 00:16:11.796
- Of course we have the covenant school shooting,
- 00:16:11.796 --> 00:16:13.965
- The annunciation school shooting in minnesota
- 00:16:13.965 --> 00:16:16.535
- Where two children were shot dead
- 00:16:16.535 --> 00:16:17.636
- As they were praying in a pew.
- 00:16:17.636 --> 00:16:19.971
- Here's my question.
- 00:16:19.971 --> 00:16:21.239
- What is the fbi doing
- 00:16:21.239 --> 00:16:23.408
- To take on this rising tide of violence
- 00:16:23.408 --> 00:16:27.812
- That seems to be motivated by anti-religious hatred?
- 00:16:27.812 --> 00:16:32.184
- - specifically, sir, we have 60 anti-catholic
- 00:16:32.184 --> 00:16:35.987
- Hate crime incidences reported to us
- 00:16:35.987 --> 00:16:37.822
- That are being investigated.
- 00:16:37.822 --> 00:16:39.925
- Publicly i can tell you
- 00:16:39.925 --> 00:16:41.159
- We have five hate crime investigations
- 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.195
- With anti-catholic bias ongoing currently in the states,
- 00:16:43.195 --> 00:16:46.831
- Excuse me, in the cities of kansas city,
- 00:16:46.831 --> 00:16:48.633
- Louisville, houston, nashville and richmond.
- 00:16:48.633 --> 00:16:52.270
- That's what i can say publicly.
- 00:16:52.270 --> 00:16:53.672
- But any ideologically based attack against any faith
- 00:16:53.672 --> 00:16:58.510
- As a man of faith myself will not be tolerated.
- 00:16:58.510 --> 00:17:01.613
- And the full resource of the fbi are committed to all of it.
- 00:17:01.613 --> 00:17:05.116
- - again, that was kash patel.
- 00:17:05.116 --> 00:17:06.418
- That's happening as we speak right now.
- 00:17:06.418 --> 00:17:08.687
- I think it's, again, refreshing,
- 00:17:08.687 --> 00:17:10.522
- To even have those questions coming in from a josh hawley
- 00:17:10.522 --> 00:17:12.857
- Asking about the anti-christian violence, anti-religious
- 00:17:12.857 --> 00:17:15.560
- And anti-christian violence, which obviously we're seeing.
- 00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:18.129
- We're seeing maybe as brutally
- 00:17:18.129 --> 00:17:19.631
- As we've ever seen before in modern times.
- 00:17:19.631 --> 00:17:22.267
- Obviously if you wanna look at historical times,
- 00:17:22.267 --> 00:17:24.369
- Very different, but in modern times in this country.
- 00:17:24.369 --> 00:17:27.305
- So what does that look like moving forward?
- 00:17:28.206 --> 00:17:29.774
- And i think that's what a lot of people have to decide.
- 00:17:29.774 --> 00:17:31.109
- I think that's what a lot of our listeners
- 00:17:31.109 --> 00:17:32.110
- And viewers have to decide is
- 00:17:32.110 --> 00:17:33.078
- What does the future look like?
- 00:17:33.078 --> 00:17:35.380
- And we are hoping that there are people like this
- 00:17:36.381 --> 00:17:37.949
- And there's members of the fbi
- 00:17:37.949 --> 00:17:39.217
- And our team here who can help reshape
- 00:17:39.217 --> 00:17:42.387
- And lead a new direction for the country
- 00:17:42.387 --> 00:17:45.957
- As we are coming out of shock, we're coming out of panic.
- 00:17:45.957 --> 00:17:49.561
- But what does the next chapter look like?
- 00:17:49.561 --> 00:17:51.229
- - well, and if you even remember,
- 00:17:51.229 --> 00:17:53.031
- And i'm not sure if this was in the list
- 00:17:53.031 --> 00:17:55.367
- That senator hawley was referencing,
- 00:17:55.367 --> 00:17:57.168
- We're talking about the instances
- 00:17:57.168 --> 00:17:58.503
- Of hostility against churches
- 00:17:58.503 --> 00:17:59.871
- And catholic organizations as well.
- 00:17:59.871 --> 00:18:02.207
- But if you'll remember, even in the wake
- 00:18:02.207 --> 00:18:04.442
- Of the dobbs decision.
- 00:18:04.442 --> 00:18:06.544
- All the vandalism, firebombing, violent attacks
- 00:18:06.544 --> 00:18:09.314
- Against pregnancy resource centers,
- 00:18:09.314 --> 00:18:11.983
- That was under the biden administration when this happened.
- 00:18:11.983 --> 00:18:15.720
- And i believe maybe one person,
- 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.090
- One perpetrator was charged, maybe two,
- 00:18:19.090 --> 00:18:22.994
- But no more than that when there was dozens
- 00:18:22.994 --> 00:18:25.964
- And dozens of instances of vandalism
- 00:18:25.964 --> 00:18:28.266
- And violence against pregnancy resource centers.
- 00:18:28.266 --> 00:18:30.902
- Instead, what was the fbi doing
- 00:18:30.902 --> 00:18:33.104
- Under the biden administration?
- 00:18:33.104 --> 00:18:35.407
- They were wanting to send undercover agents
- 00:18:35.407 --> 00:18:38.310
- Into catholic churches.
- 00:18:38.310 --> 00:18:40.178
- They were investigating parents at school board meetings
- 00:18:40.178 --> 00:18:43.581
- That were standing up for their children.
- 00:18:43.581 --> 00:18:45.984
- They were raiding in early morning hours,
- 00:18:45.984 --> 00:18:49.154
- The home of a pro-life advocate.
- 00:18:49.154 --> 00:18:53.224
- And the federal government wasted time and money
- 00:18:53.224 --> 00:18:55.560
- And resources on that case to lose in court.
- 00:18:55.560 --> 00:18:58.630
- They brought the prosecution
- 00:18:58.630 --> 00:19:00.665
- And lost in court to a jury of that man's peers.
- 00:19:00.665 --> 00:19:06.004
- And so what you're seeing is a refreshing turn
- 00:19:06.971 --> 00:19:09.207
- From the political fbi that we saw
- 00:19:09.207 --> 00:19:12.844
- To one that is doing the job
- 00:19:12.844 --> 00:19:15.246
- The american people want.
- 00:19:15.246 --> 00:19:16.581
- 23,000 violent criminals just
- 00:19:16.581 --> 00:19:19.918
- This year arrested by the fbi,
- 00:19:19.918 --> 00:19:22.020
- And all those other stats we said,
- 00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:24.255
- As well as taking seriously
- 00:19:24.255 --> 00:19:26.491
- These ideologically driven attacks
- 00:19:26.491 --> 00:19:29.160
- Against people of faith in this country.
- 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.696
- That should not be something
- 00:19:31.696 --> 00:19:33.398
- That americans of faith are living under.
- 00:19:33.398 --> 00:19:35.633
- I don't care what faith you are,
- 00:19:35.633 --> 00:19:38.470
- There should not be the fear of worshiping freely.
- 00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:43.108
- We have the right to worship,
- 00:19:43.108 --> 00:19:45.176
- To live out our faith in this country.
- 00:19:45.176 --> 00:19:48.713
- And when groups decide that they want to target,
- 00:19:48.713 --> 00:19:52.384
- I don't care who you are, your right, your freedom
- 00:19:52.384 --> 00:19:56.521
- To worship, that should not be acceptable
- 00:19:56.521 --> 00:20:00.492
- And that should be a priority of the fbi.
- 00:20:00.492 --> 00:20:03.461
- So i do love this new way
- 00:20:03.461 --> 00:20:07.232
- That the fbi is going through this.
- 00:20:07.232 --> 00:20:08.700
- I know that there have been bumps along the way
- 00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:11.269
- Because when you are revamping an agency
- 00:20:11.269 --> 00:20:14.539
- That was wrought from within with all of this bias,
- 00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:19.444
- There are gonna be bumps along the way.
- 00:20:19.444 --> 00:20:21.179
- I even think the transparency of kash patel
- 00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:24.849
- Has given more fuel to some of his detractors
- 00:20:24.849 --> 00:20:29.521
- By being so transparent in real time.
- 00:20:29.521 --> 00:20:31.790
- Maybe he needs to recalibrate some of that.
- 00:20:31.790 --> 00:20:33.792
- - john of pennsylvania watching on the salem news channel.
- 00:20:33.792 --> 00:20:35.794
- John, go ahead.
- 00:20:35.794 --> 00:20:37.228
- - [john] yes. hi. good afternoon.
- 00:20:37.228 --> 00:20:39.431
- I just wanted to know,
- 00:20:39.431 --> 00:20:41.199
- I'm getting a little concerned at kash patel,
- 00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:43.668
- He's going on tv stations and saying
- 00:20:43.668 --> 00:20:46.371
- That he has found evidence of dna
- 00:20:46.371 --> 00:20:49.541
- And stuff against the assassin.
- 00:20:49.541 --> 00:20:52.444
- I'm almost positive it's the case in utah
- 00:20:52.444 --> 00:20:55.914
- And they're gonna be doing the prosecuting.
- 00:20:55.914 --> 00:20:58.116
- So what role does the federal government have?
- 00:20:58.116 --> 00:21:00.518
- Why is kash patel saying these things?
- 00:21:00.518 --> 00:21:02.821
- Is he gonna damage the case by letting these facts out?
- 00:21:02.821 --> 00:21:07.492
- - well, john one, all of that evidence will be in court.
- 00:21:07.492 --> 00:21:11.196
- It will be, has to be available
- 00:21:11.196 --> 00:21:14.566
- To the defense of the individual.
- 00:21:14.566 --> 00:21:16.401
- So i don't think anything there is anything abnormal
- 00:21:16.401 --> 00:21:20.371
- And you wouldn't see in a press conference.
- 00:21:20.371 --> 00:21:21.940
- Many times, even the local law enforcement say
- 00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:23.942
- We have found dna evidence that ties this
- 00:21:23.942 --> 00:21:26.544
- Individual to the shooting.
- 00:21:26.544 --> 00:21:29.047
- I don't know that anything
- 00:21:29.047 --> 00:21:31.015
- That i have heard personally would damage that.
- 00:21:31.015 --> 00:21:33.952
- And i'm not an expert on that, but--
- 00:21:33.952 --> 00:21:35.820
- - yeah you're referring to the fbi,
- 00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.988
- But you're referring to kash patel,
- 00:21:36.988 --> 00:21:38.289
- But also you're talking about a topic that is,
- 00:21:38.289 --> 00:21:40.725
- Needs to be addressed on the country scale,
- 00:21:40.725 --> 00:21:42.861
- On a federal scale, even if it's not prosecuted federally.
- 00:21:42.861 --> 00:21:46.865
- A lot of people are turning to you
- 00:21:46.865 --> 00:21:48.700
- And looking to you and i think it's fine.
- 00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:50.268
- The fbi can help out where they can,
- 00:21:50.268 --> 00:21:51.803
- There's also local fbi chapters everywhere.
- 00:21:51.803 --> 00:21:54.072
- So of course i think they were on the scene within minutes.
- 00:21:54.072 --> 00:21:57.075
- - [will] right.
- 00:21:57.075 --> 00:21:58.443
- - there was members of the fbi team there in utah.
- 00:21:58.443 --> 00:22:01.412
- - so they said they were able to provide air support,
- 00:22:01.412 --> 00:22:03.481
- Like getting assets in the air
- 00:22:03.481 --> 00:22:06.050
- To help within minutes of the attacking.
- 00:22:06.050 --> 00:22:08.653
- - so john, hopefully that,
- 00:22:08.653 --> 00:22:09.754
- I know it's a a bit nuanced here,
- 00:22:09.754 --> 00:22:11.422
- But i don't believe you have anything here
- 00:22:11.422 --> 00:22:13.525
- Where kash patel is stepping too far into this situation
- 00:22:13.525 --> 00:22:16.861
- That's gonna cause damage to the case.
- 00:22:16.861 --> 00:22:18.863
- Now the case itself shall be an interesting time
- 00:22:18.863 --> 00:22:21.799
- Because you now have more evidence
- 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.201
- That's come out from the charlie kirk assassination,
- 00:22:23.201 --> 00:22:25.336
- Including an admission of guilt
- 00:22:25.336 --> 00:22:26.638
- On a forum apparently from like a discord,
- 00:22:26.638 --> 00:22:30.975
- Apparently from the alleged shooter.
- 00:22:30.975 --> 00:22:33.811
- Now again, how admissible is that?
- 00:22:33.811 --> 00:22:36.047
- Who knows.
- 00:22:36.047 --> 00:22:37.015
- Because right now, as we know,
- 00:22:37.015 --> 00:22:38.182
- He is not necessarily cooperating.
- 00:22:38.182 --> 00:22:39.817
- Didn't turn himself in.
- 00:22:39.817 --> 00:22:41.352
- Of course that's never a great sign
- 00:22:41.352 --> 00:22:43.154
- That this person did not do it.
- 00:22:43.154 --> 00:22:45.456
- But of course when you have someone
- 00:22:45.456 --> 00:22:46.958
- Who's not fully admitting it, it's gonna go to trial,
- 00:22:46.958 --> 00:22:49.093
- It's gonna be an interesting time.
- 00:22:49.093 --> 00:22:50.628
- - well, and i want to bring up a point to that as well.
- 00:22:50.628 --> 00:22:52.664
- We had beverly on youtube say the fbi's a joke.
- 00:22:52.664 --> 00:22:56.434
- They didn't find charlie kirk's killer.
- 00:22:56.434 --> 00:22:58.202
- The dad turned him in.
- 00:22:58.202 --> 00:22:59.470
- - [logan] yeah, i've heard a lot of that.
- 00:22:59.470 --> 00:23:00.738
- - had high hopes for kash, very disappointed.
- 00:23:00.738 --> 00:23:02.774
- The boston marathon bombings.
- 00:23:02.774 --> 00:23:05.109
- The fbi didn't release the images
- 00:23:05.109 --> 00:23:08.780
- And photos of the individuals
- 00:23:08.780 --> 00:23:10.148
- Until three days after the bombings in boston.
- 00:23:10.148 --> 00:23:14.018
- And there was obviously a citywide manhunt looking
- 00:23:14.018 --> 00:23:18.423
- For these individuals and it took them three days
- 00:23:18.423 --> 00:23:20.391
- To get to the point where they released the photos
- 00:23:20.391 --> 00:23:22.493
- And then the photos, individuals said,
- 00:23:22.493 --> 00:23:24.696
- "we know who those people are."
- 00:23:24.696 --> 00:23:26.297
- And that led to what was a chaotic manhunt.
- 00:23:26.297 --> 00:23:29.801
- - [logan] yeah with them.
- 00:23:29.801 --> 00:23:30.935
- - one of them ended up being killed.
- 00:23:30.935 --> 00:23:32.203
- - [logan] and then they had a hiding in a boat.
- 00:23:32.203 --> 00:23:33.905
- - bombs being thrown outta the back of the vehicle,
- 00:23:33.905 --> 00:23:35.907
- Injuring people.
- 00:23:35.907 --> 00:23:37.842
- The way this happened was
- 00:23:37.842 --> 00:23:39.110
- They had this person in custody in 33 hours.
- 00:23:39.110 --> 00:23:42.780
- They did the steps.
- 00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:43.848
- When they exhausted their leads,
- 00:23:43.848 --> 00:23:45.216
- They put the photo out, someone recognized him
- 00:23:45.216 --> 00:23:47.418
- And was able to negotiate a peaceful handover.
- 00:23:47.418 --> 00:23:50.888
- - let's go ahead and take joe, who's calling in texas,
- 00:23:50.888 --> 00:23:53.858
- Who is watching on the salem news channel.
- 00:23:53.858 --> 00:23:56.561
- Kind of similar question,
- 00:23:56.561 --> 00:23:58.029
- But joe, i think it's okay to just say this as well.
- 00:23:58.029 --> 00:24:01.165
- - [joe] yes sir.
- 00:24:01.532 --> 00:24:02.700
- Well i'm just thinking why do they not fly
- 00:24:03.601 --> 00:24:07.605
- Surveillance drones at any large scale event?
- 00:24:07.605 --> 00:24:11.309
- - look, joe, i don't know that they didn't.
- 00:24:11.309 --> 00:24:12.977
- I don't know that they didn't at this specific event,
- 00:24:12.977 --> 00:24:15.647
- But we also do know that that is not uncommon.
- 00:24:15.647 --> 00:24:18.516
- I've been to many arenas and concerts
- 00:24:18.516 --> 00:24:21.285
- And stadiums recently
- 00:24:21.285 --> 00:24:22.587
- Where they are flying surveillance drones.
- 00:24:22.587 --> 00:24:24.155
- They are watching you.
- 00:24:24.155 --> 00:24:25.556
- They are running facial recognition scans.
- 00:24:25.556 --> 00:24:27.091
- A lot of times when you walk in
- 00:24:27.091 --> 00:24:28.593
- Look around the stadium as you walk in now.
- 00:24:28.593 --> 00:24:31.629
- They pretty much tell you, we're scanning your face
- 00:24:31.629 --> 00:24:33.698
- And we're gonna let you in or not let you in based on
- 00:24:33.698 --> 00:24:35.600
- Who you are and we know who you are. so that is happening.
- 00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:38.269
- - well, and the resources at a large stadium
- 00:24:38.269 --> 00:24:40.571
- That there's a billion dollar industry probably
- 00:24:40.571 --> 00:24:44.208
- At the individual stadium is a lot different
- 00:24:44.208 --> 00:24:46.611
- Than utah valley university.
- 00:24:46.611 --> 00:24:48.579
- This is a college that many people had never heard of
- 00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:52.450
- Until this event.
- 00:24:52.450 --> 00:24:53.451
- This wasn't even byu
- 00:24:53.451 --> 00:24:55.086
- Or the university of utah,
- 00:24:55.086 --> 00:24:56.354
- It was a place that seems
- 00:24:56.354 --> 00:24:57.722
- To have a smaller student population.
- 00:24:57.722 --> 00:25:00.291
- The campus footprint is smaller.
- 00:25:00.291 --> 00:25:02.427
- It's not something that necessarily
- 00:25:03.161 --> 00:25:04.662
- Would have as many resources and it's probably not used
- 00:25:04.662 --> 00:25:07.765
- To very large event on their campus.
- 00:25:07.765 --> 00:25:10.735
- - yeah, i'm not sure who would've been technically
- 00:25:10.735 --> 00:25:12.136
- In charge or responsible for security.
- 00:25:12.136 --> 00:25:13.705
- We know that there was failure there.
- 00:25:13.705 --> 00:25:16.074
- I mean there's no doubt on my mind that there was.
- 00:25:16.074 --> 00:25:18.776
- Now how you address that moving forward is
- 00:25:18.776 --> 00:25:20.411
- What we're gonna see.
- 00:25:20.411 --> 00:25:21.479
- (dramatic music)
- 00:25:21.846 --> 00:25:23.815
- - [jordan] as always, let me thank everybody at tbn
- 00:25:23.815 --> 00:25:26.417
- For providing this time to us at no cost so we
- 00:25:26.417 --> 00:25:29.287
- Can update you on the most important issues of the day.
- 00:25:29.287 --> 00:25:31.989
- From all of us at the aclj, thanks, tbn.
- 00:25:31.989 --> 00:25:34.258
- (soft dramatic music)
- 00:25:34.258 --> 00:25:34.258
