Biden Abandons Americans in Mexico, Huge Victory for Free Speech, Fauci Fakes Covid Study & Shocking Video of Jan 6th Shows Dem Kangaroo Court · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson
0:04
Speaker 1: with you, and we have got a lot to talk
0:06
Speaker 1: about today, Senator, and I want to give a roadmap
0:08
Speaker 1: for people because there's so much news happening. First off,
0:11
Speaker 1: a big victory, and we're gonna get to this. First,
0:14
Speaker 1: dealing with a nomination someone from the Biden administration that's
0:18
Speaker 1: actually been pulled. You're going to give that update. Plus
0:21
Speaker 1: what's going on in Mexico with the four Americans that
0:23
Speaker 1: we're taking hostage. Two of them have died. We also
0:27
Speaker 1: have another issue with Fauci emails. And finally January the six, Senator,
0:32
Speaker 1: let's start with this big information, big news of victory
0:36
Speaker 1: of the fact that President Biden's nomination of Gigi Son
0:40
Speaker 1: to serve as a commissioner of the US Federal Communications
0:44
Speaker 1: Commissioners the FCC has been pulled. How did we get there?
0:48
Speaker 1: I know that something you talked about on this show
0:50
Speaker 1: early on, and we're leading the way saying she was
0:53
Speaker 1: not qualified. Well, this is a huge victory. So Joe
0:57
Speaker 1: Biden had nominated Gigi Son be a commissioner of the FCC,
1:02
Speaker 1: the Federal Communications Commission and many believe that Biden intended
1:07
Speaker 1: to name her the chairman of the Commission if she
1:10
Speaker 1: had been confirmed. Ggsone has been a left wing activist
1:14
Speaker 1: her entire life. She is a hardcore activist. She had
1:21
Speaker 1: repeatedly denounced Fox News as an enemy to democracy, as
1:26
Speaker 1: a threat to democracy. She had demonstrated a willingness to
1:31
Speaker 1: use the powers of the SEC to deny licenses and
1:35
Speaker 1: to otherwise used government power to silence conservative voices. And
1:40
Speaker 1: she had a remarkable pattern of just being a partisan activist. So,
1:46
Speaker 1: for example, there was a group called Fighting for a
1:49
Speaker 1: Future that gigsone had supported for years, and every year
1:55
Speaker 1: she sent out tweets fundraising for Fighting for a Future.
1:59
Speaker 1: Now GGE did this even though the group Fighting for
2:04
Speaker 1: Our Future had a long standing practice of attacking multiple
2:09
Speaker 1: Senators and multiple Senators on the Commerce Committee. If you're
2:11
Speaker 1: nominated on the SEC, it's the Commerce Committee that has
2:14
Speaker 1: to confirm you. So Fighting for a Future had put
2:18
Speaker 1: out billboards attacking Senator Marsha Blackburn is on the Commerce
2:22
Speaker 1: Committee with me. They'd put out billboards attacking Senator Dan
2:26
Speaker 1: Sullivan is on the Commerce Commitment Committee with me. They
2:29
Speaker 1: had attacked Roger Wicker, who's the former chairman, forming ranking
2:33
Speaker 1: member of the Commerce Committee. But interestingly enough, Ben, they
2:37
Speaker 1: hadn't just attacked Republicans, They'd attacked a bunch of Democrats.
2:41
Speaker 1: So they'd put up billboards saying John Tester, the Democrats
2:44
Speaker 1: Senator from Montana, is corrupt. They'd put up billboards saying
2:48
Speaker 1: Gary Peters, the Democrats Senator from Michigan, is corrupt. They'd
2:53
Speaker 1: put up billboards saying Kirsten Cinema, the Democrats Senator from Arizona,
2:58
Speaker 1: is corrupt. And I'm Amazingly enough, this group also sent
3:03
Speaker 1: a letter to Chuck Schumer in December of last year,
3:08
Speaker 1: urging Schumer to fire Maria kent Well, the Democrat is
3:12
Speaker 1: the chairman of the committee, because the committee had yet
3:16
Speaker 1: confirmed gigisone, And after all of these solicitations, every year
3:22
Speaker 1: gisone would ask for people to contribute and support this,
3:29
Speaker 1: and so gisone had three different confirmation hearings, the most
3:34
Speaker 1: recent one a couple of weeks ago. I'm the ranking
3:36
Speaker 1: member of the Commerce Committee. I led the fight against him.
3:38
Speaker 1: I walked her through each of these. I said, look,
3:41
Speaker 1: do you believe John Tester is corrupt? She says no,
3:44
Speaker 1: Do you believe Gary Peters is corrupt, she says no.
3:48
Speaker 1: Do you believe Kirsten Cinema's corrupt? She says no. Did
3:52
Speaker 1: you know this group was putting up these billboards and
3:54
Speaker 1: attacking these senators? And she said, well, I knew about
3:58
Speaker 1: the billboard attacking Cinema And I said no. Did you
4:02
Speaker 1: raise money for her for them after that? And she said, oh, yeah,
4:05
Speaker 1: completely unapologetically. I laughed. I said, look, I don't know
4:09
Speaker 1: in ten years in the Senate that I've ever seen
4:11
Speaker 1: a nominee who supports a group that attacks half the
4:15
Speaker 1: senators on the committee that are supposed to confirm her.
4:18
Speaker 1: It was remarkable. Now, I'll tell you a funny epilogue
4:23
Speaker 1: to this. I said it the hearing. I said, listen,
4:27
Speaker 1: I'm kind of offended, like this group is attacked half
4:31
Speaker 1: the senators here, but they haven't attacked me. Like, what
4:34
Speaker 1: do I have to do to get this left wing
4:36
Speaker 1: group mad at me? I would have thought I have
4:38
Speaker 1: done sufficient to attract their ire, and I'm feeling kind
4:44
Speaker 1: of neglected here. Now. This group they heard what I said,
4:48
Speaker 1: and I guess it prompted them to action. So they
4:52
Speaker 1: launched online a crowdfunding effort to raise money to put
4:57
Speaker 1: up a billboard attacking me. It's so it's the billboard
4:59
Speaker 1: as a picture of me, and it has a website,
5:03
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Hates free Speech dot com. I'm sorry, I
5:09
Speaker 1: was not expecting that to be the name of the website,
5:12
Speaker 1: but go ahead. So set aside that if there's I
5:15
Speaker 1: don't know that there's anything I love more than free speech. Yeah,
5:19
Speaker 1: other than God, my family in America. But free speech
5:23
Speaker 1: is intimately intertwined with that. But here's the part that's beautiful. Bad.
5:29
Speaker 1: This left wing group, they're really partisan, but they're not
5:32
Speaker 1: very good. So they didn't actually buy the website. So
5:39
Speaker 1: the billboard that they were crowdfunding to raise the website
5:43
Speaker 1: was still available. So I bought it, and so I
5:46
Speaker 1: now owned the website Ted Cruz Hates Freespeech dot com.
5:50
Speaker 1: And I promptly turned it into a campaign fundraising website,
5:54
Speaker 1: and I tweeted out said, hey, I really appreciate you
5:56
Speaker 1: guys putting this billboard up and urging people to go
5:59
Speaker 1: to this website to contribute to my senate real life.
6:01
Speaker 1: That's just an amazing thing. Any the best investment you've
6:05
Speaker 1: ever made in any website, every you may have missed
6:09
Speaker 1: the investment window on some of the big stuff, but
6:11
Speaker 1: at least you got that website. It was really so
6:16
Speaker 1: her record is extreme. It was she is a partisan advocate,
6:22
Speaker 1: and Biden was giving in to the radical left by
6:26
Speaker 1: trying to name her to the FCC because I believe
6:29
Speaker 1: he wanted to use government power to silence conservative voters,
6:34
Speaker 1: to attack Fox News, to attack conservative outlets, and to
6:39
Speaker 1: advance an extreme partisan agenda. In the Commerce Committee, we
6:46
Speaker 1: managed to hold all the Republicans together and multiple Democrats
6:51
Speaker 1: expressed skepticism. Well, today mid day, Joe Mansion put out
6:56
Speaker 1: a statement saying he was a no. He was voting no,
7:00
Speaker 1: and about an hour later we got a formal announcement
7:04
Speaker 1: that Gigsone was withdrawing her nomination. The White House was
7:09
Speaker 1: withdrawing her nomination. Now I'll tell you I was actually
7:11
Speaker 1: sitting at lunch with my colleagues. All the Republican senators
7:15
Speaker 1: have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. So I
7:17
Speaker 1: was sitting at lunch at one fifty pm. The lunch
7:21
Speaker 1: typically runs from twelve thirty to two pm. At like
7:24
Speaker 1: one fifty pm, my staff director sends me a text
7:27
Speaker 1: and says, hey, We're hearing lots of rumors in town
7:29
Speaker 1: that Gigison is going to withdraw. And I'm like, okay, great,
7:33
Speaker 1: how we're liable? Are these rumors? Are they real? And
7:36
Speaker 1: he's like, well, it's kind of the lobby crew in town,
7:38
Speaker 1: but most of their rumors have been pretty accurate on this,
7:41
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, well, try to nail this down.
7:43
Speaker 1: I want to know for sure. And then at about
7:46
Speaker 1: one fifty seven, so about three minutes before the lunch
7:49
Speaker 1: is over, my guys send me a text of the
7:53
Speaker 1: media stories that had just broken saying the White House
7:56
Speaker 1: had withdrawn her nomination. So I stood up at lunch.
7:59
Speaker 1: It was the very end of lunch and I said, hey,
8:01
Speaker 1: just wanted everyone to let you know the news just
8:03
Speaker 1: broke about two minutes ago the White House is withdrawn
8:07
Speaker 1: gig sons nomination. I'll tell you, the entire Republican conference
8:12
Speaker 1: broke out an applause, and that's awesome, and I really
8:15
Speaker 1: I gave a testament to all of the Republicans on
8:18
Speaker 1: the Commerce Committee, who state united, who state focused? You know,
8:21
Speaker 1: in my new role as ranking member, we tried very
8:24
Speaker 1: hard to work with each of their teams to help
8:27
Speaker 1: each of the members focus on a different aspect of
8:29
Speaker 1: her record, but it was a comprehensive effort to make
8:35
Speaker 1: clear she is not forced someone on an independent agency
8:39
Speaker 1: like the FCC. You want someone fair, you want someone impartial,
8:43
Speaker 1: you want someone who will respect free speech. This was
8:46
Speaker 1: a nominee who was not and as of today, this
8:50
Speaker 1: nomination has been defeated. It's a success story coming out
8:54
Speaker 1: of Washington that we wanted to make sure people knew
8:57
Speaker 1: about because this is what happens when people expose these
9:01
Speaker 1: individuals and let everybody know. And this podcast played a
9:05
Speaker 1: pivotal role in exposing who this nominee was and why
9:09
Speaker 1: they were not qualified. And this is a victory we
9:11
Speaker 1: should all enjoy. On the important thing. Ben also to underscore, look,
9:15
Speaker 1: we beat her in a Democrats Senate, which means if
9:19
Speaker 1: it were just a party line vote, if it were
9:22
Speaker 1: just all the d's vote yes, all the RS vote no,
9:24
Speaker 1: she would have been confirmed. So to beat her, we
9:28
Speaker 1: held all the rs together, but we also picked off
9:31
Speaker 1: several d's and actually, from what I'm hearing, there may
9:34
Speaker 1: have been as many as four or five six Democrats
9:37
Speaker 1: who were going to vote no, and so that was
9:40
Speaker 1: really a big victory because I gotta tell you, Democrats
9:44
Speaker 1: senators have been willing to vote for some of the
9:46
Speaker 1: most extreme nominees I've ever seen, so to actually flip
9:50
Speaker 1: them was a great victory for free speech today. Yeah,
9:55
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It It was awesome. I want to
9:56
Speaker 1: get to this other issue, and there was a shocking
9:59
Speaker 1: issue of four Americans that were taken hostage in Mexico.
10:03
Speaker 1: Before we get into that story, though, I want to
10:05
Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at Chalk and Now you
10:07
Speaker 1: know how much the left hates real men, men that
10:11
Speaker 1: are masculine, and if you are getting older and you're
10:14
Speaker 1: losing a little bit of that edge, then you need
10:16
Speaker 1: to know about Chalkhoq. What do they do. They're here
10:20
Speaker 1: here to help real American men maximize their masculine masculinity
10:24
Speaker 1: by boosting testosterone levels up to twenty percent over ninety days. Now,
10:29
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Chalk Mail Vitality Stack. I can tell
10:34

10:36
Speaker 1: three and a half four weeks, and you tube can

Speaker 1: maximize your masculinity, get those testosterone levels back up. That'll
10:43
Speaker 1: irritate the Left. I can promise you that. All you

Speaker 1: for thirty five percent offhoq dot com center. There was
11:02
Speaker 1: a story that was really a shocking story. It also
11:05
Speaker 1: came along with video, and that video showed four Americans
11:10
Speaker 1: who had traveled into Mexico, right across the border with Texas,
11:15
Speaker 1: going into Mexico. They were then ambushed. Two of them died.
11:20
Speaker 1: They were taken and thrown into the back of a
11:22
Speaker 1: white pickup truck. We saw this. The most shocking part
11:26
Speaker 1: for me was not that the cartels did this, It
11:29
Speaker 1: was the fact that the President United States of America
11:31
Speaker 1: had nothing to say about it when these at that
11:34
Speaker 1: point we didn't know if anyone had actually been killed
11:37
Speaker 1: yet of these Americans, and the White House was asked
11:41
Speaker 1: about what is the President doing and saying? And the
11:44
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary all she had to offer the
11:46
Speaker 1: American people and these hostages was this thank you. I
11:50
Speaker 1: went on Mexico. I can tell you the President is
12:02
Speaker 1: aware and has been informed. That's it. You're an American,
12:06
Speaker 1: you're held hostage in Mexico. You're asked about it, and
12:09
Speaker 1: the White House says he has been informed. Senator, he
12:12
Speaker 1: is aware. That is all he had to say about this.
12:16
Speaker 1: And now we found out two of the four are dead.
12:18
Speaker 1: Your reaction, look, Ben, I really wish we had a
12:21
Speaker 1: commander in chief. That reaction is pitiful. Anyone who kills
12:27
Speaker 1: an American citizen should face serious consequences, should be held
12:31
Speaker 1: to account. And the President was a wall. You had
12:36
Speaker 1: four Americans. The story as we know it right now.
12:39
Speaker 1: More facts may come out, but as we know it
12:41
Speaker 1: right now, four Americans from South Carolina who traveled down
12:44
Speaker 1: to Mexico so that one of them, a woman, could
12:47
Speaker 1: get a medical procedure at Tummy Tuck. They drove down
12:50
Speaker 1: there in a rental car. And what's been being reported
12:54
Speaker 1: right now is the Gulf Cartel believed that they were
12:59
Speaker 1: Haitian smugglers, either drug smugglers or human smugglers, we don't
13:03
Speaker 1: know the exact details, and open fire on them and
13:07
Speaker 1: two of them were killed, the third was injured, shot
13:12
Speaker 1: in the leg, and the two that lived were taken
13:15
Speaker 1: hostage for several days, and the President publicly didn't say
13:20
Speaker 1: a damn word. President ought to stand up right now,
13:23
Speaker 1: and he should have still stood up when they were
13:25
Speaker 1: taken before we knew their situation, and said release these Americans.
13:28
Speaker 1: America will not stand by while you kidnap Americans, while
13:32
Speaker 1: you shoot Americans, while you murder Americans. And particularly this
13:36
Speaker 1: happened just south of the US Mexico border, just south
13:41
Speaker 1: of our southern border. Let me say secondly, this crisis
13:46
Speaker 1: was caused by Joe Biden. Joe Biden's open border policies
13:53
Speaker 1: have caused the worst crisis on our southern border in
13:56
Speaker 1: our nation's history. In two and a half years, we've
13:59
Speaker 1: seen over five and a half million illegal aliens crossing
14:03
Speaker 1: the border. We saw last year more than one hundred
14:08
Speaker 1: thousand drug overdoses in the United States, the highest level
14:12
Speaker 1: in history. More than half of those are Chinese fentinolf
14:16
Speaker 1: flooding across the border. But I'll tell you one of
14:19
Speaker 1: the real consequences. So Biden came in, and Biden and
14:23
Speaker 1: harrissed together. In the first week, they did three things.
14:25
Speaker 1: They made three political decisions that caused this crisis. Number One,
14:29
Speaker 1: they immediately halted construction of the border wall. Number two,
14:33
Speaker 1: they reinstated the failed policy of catch and release, and
14:37
Speaker 1: number three, they pulled out of the incredibly successful Remain
14:41
Speaker 1: in Mexico policy. That combination of policy and political decisions
14:47
Speaker 1: caused this border crisis. But let me tell you the
14:49
Speaker 1: real effects. According to the New York Times, in the
14:53
Speaker 1: year twenty eighteen, the drug cartels in Mexico made roughly
14:57
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars. Now, let's and five hundred million
15:01
Speaker 1: dollars a lot of money. They were doing quite well
15:05
Speaker 1: last year. You know how much they made? How much?
15:09
Speaker 1: Thirteen billion dollars and that six hundred percent more. Yes,
15:18
Speaker 1: it is without exaggeration, the single best thing that has
15:24
Speaker 1: ever happened to Mexican drug cartels and drug lords is
15:29
Speaker 1: Joe Biden becoming president. Their profits went up two thousand,
15:34
Speaker 1: six hundred percent thirteen billion dollars. By the way of
15:38
Speaker 1: that money, roughly half the money they make is from
15:42
Speaker 1: human trafficking, from bringing human beings across the border in
15:46
Speaker 1: horrible conditions of squalor and abuse, and roughly half of
15:50
Speaker 1: it is from drug trafficking. So why do these cartels
15:55
Speaker 1: feel that they have the power to kidnap and murder
15:58
Speaker 1: American citizens? Well, when you're vicious terrorists, when you're violent criminals.
16:03
Speaker 1: When you're cruel and abusive, and you got thirteen billion dollars. Sadly,
16:11
Speaker 1: the impact in a country is terrible, and Joe Biden
16:14
Speaker 1: caused this. It is tragic and it's unacceptable. The Attorney General,
16:19
Speaker 1: Bill bar former Attorney General Bill bar was asked about this,
16:22
Speaker 1: and he obviously had to deal a lot with Mexico
16:24
Speaker 1: when he was in charge under the Trump administration. He
16:28
Speaker 1: summed it up by putting it this way. The Mexican
16:31
Speaker 1: government is being held hostage by tens of thousands of
16:35
Speaker 1: paramilitary members of terrorist organizations that effectively control Mexico. It's
16:41
Speaker 1: pretty close at this stage to a failed narco state.
16:44
Speaker 1: They can use violence and oceans of cash to corrupt
16:49
Speaker 1: the government. The government has no will and it doesn't
16:53
Speaker 1: have the ability to deal with the cartels, and they
16:56
Speaker 1: are sitting next door producing mountains of poisonous drugs and
17:04
Speaker 1: killing over one hundred thousand Americans a year, which was
17:08
Speaker 1: at the height of World War Two. That was our
17:10
Speaker 1: killed in action rate. So we are sustaining the same
17:13
Speaker 1: damage as we would in a major war from these
17:17
Speaker 1: groups operating right beyond our reach. Senator, when you put
17:21
Speaker 1: in perspective the way that he did, talking about the
17:23
Speaker 1: number of people that have died, you know, the killing
17:28
Speaker 1: of over one hundred thousand Americans a year, which which
17:30
Speaker 1: was what we were dealing with the height of World
17:31
Speaker 1: War Two, that was our killed in action rate. And
17:35
Speaker 1: we're sustaining those losses right now because of an open border,
17:40
Speaker 1: because of this president, and he doesn't seem to have
17:44
Speaker 1: any connection to reality or want to stop the death
17:49
Speaker 1: of all these Americans. And even when Americans are being
17:51
Speaker 1: taken hostage, did you ever think you would see a
17:54
Speaker 1: day where a president wouldn't immediately come out to the
17:56
Speaker 1: White House Press briefing and say, I want to make
17:57
Speaker 1: it clear of the cartels whoever took these ammerins, you
18:00
Speaker 1: better return them or we will unleash holy hell on you.
18:04
Speaker 1: And if the Mexican government is the failure that was
18:07
Speaker 1: just described here by Bill bar that's basically a narco state.
18:13
Speaker 1: And you know that because he was just down there.
18:15
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you said this, Because you hadn't no honest
18:19
Speaker 1: ability to believe that the Mexican government was going to
18:21
Speaker 1: be able to find these people before two or three
18:24
Speaker 1: or four die well. Because Joe Biden is an unbelievably
18:30
Speaker 1: weak president. Listen Bill Barr, as you know, he's been
18:33
Speaker 1: a friend for a long time. For twenty years, we've
18:36
Speaker 1: had Bill Barr as a guest on this podcast when
18:39
Speaker 1: he was Attorney General under Donald Trump. And Barr has
18:43
Speaker 1: spent a lifetime fighting for law and order, fighting against
18:46
Speaker 1: drug dealers, fighting against human traffickers, fighting to keep innocent
18:51
Speaker 1: people safe. And the condition in Mexico is tragic. These
18:55
Speaker 1: drug cartels are more powerful than they have ever been
19:00
Speaker 1: in the history of Mexico or the history of the world.
19:03
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is making them powerful. He is making
19:06
Speaker 1: them incredibly rich by allowing their businesses to flourish and prosper.
19:12
Speaker 1: And listen, Bill Barr is right that the Mexican government
19:15
Speaker 1: sadly has at best turned a blind eye to the
19:20
Speaker 1: horrific predations of these drug cartels, and at worst has
19:24
Speaker 1: been complicit in them. You know, it was really striking
19:27
Speaker 1: when Biden went down to Mexico and did a press
19:31
Speaker 1: conference with Amlo, the extreme leftist president of Mexico. Amlo
19:36
Speaker 1: praised him effusively in Spanish. We played it on this podcast.
19:40
Speaker 1: He praised him as being the first president in modern
19:43
Speaker 1: times Republican or Democrat not to build a single meter
19:48
Speaker 1: of border wall. Now, Amlo was praising him for essentially
19:52
Speaker 1: abandoning his obligation to protect America and keep us safe.
19:56
Speaker 1: But that is also the praise of someone talking about
19:59
Speaker 1: a president the United States who Amlow believes is weak,
20:03
Speaker 1: who Amlow believes is not formidable. You know, last night
20:07
Speaker 1: I went on Jesse Waters and Jesse asked me about
20:11
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham had said we ought to send in the military,
20:13
Speaker 1: we had to kill these drug cartels. And let me
20:17
Speaker 1: be clear, I Lindsay's a friend, but I don't agree
20:19
Speaker 1: with his recommendation there. I don't think we ought to
20:21
Speaker 1: invade Mexico. I don't think we ought to be in
20:23
Speaker 1: the business of invading foreign nations. But I do think
20:28
Speaker 1: the President ought to make unequivocally clear to the Mexican government,
20:35
Speaker 1: you will hunt down, you will send in the Mexican army.
20:38
Speaker 1: You will arrest these cartel members that murdered these American citizens.
20:42
Speaker 1: You will extradite them to the United States, and they
20:45
Speaker 1: will face the full force of the justice system in
20:47
Speaker 1: the United States of America. And you might say, well, Gosh,
20:51
Speaker 1: Amlow's too weak to do that. He's unwilling to do that.
20:53
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. When Trump was president, Amlo was
20:56
Speaker 1: terrified at Trump. When Trump was president, Amlo read to
21:00
Speaker 1: the Remain in Mexico agreement. He actually stationed thousands of
21:05
Speaker 1: Mexican soldiers on Mexico's southern bordering. You know, you look
21:08
Speaker 1: at the map, Mexico's southern border along Guatemala is much
21:11
Speaker 1: much smaller than our southern border, which is two thousand
21:15
Speaker 1: miles between the United States and Mexico. If you want
21:18
Speaker 1: to stop illegal immigrations, one of the way, one of
21:21
Speaker 1: the ways you do it is you you seal the
21:23
Speaker 1: southern border of Mexico. Amlo did it because he was
21:26
Speaker 1: terrified of Trump. Because Biden is such a weak president.
21:31
Speaker 1: Everyone walks all over him. And sadly, these American citizens,
21:36
Speaker 1: they're from South Carolina. Two of them lost their lives
21:41
Speaker 1: because of the drug cartels empowered by Joe Biden, and
21:45
Speaker 1: two of them were kidnapped, while Joe Biden remained silent
21:49
Speaker 1: and did not use the power of the United States
21:52
Speaker 1: to defend those Americans. Yeah, it is a scary thing,
21:57
Speaker 1: and I think the part that was the most shocking
21:59
Speaker 1: for me was the fact that we only offered at
22:01
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to get information about the whereabouts, and
22:06
Speaker 1: I said, wow, I'm basically worth twelve thousand, five hundred dollars.
22:10
Speaker 1: But if you come across the border illegally, you'll get
22:12
Speaker 1: far more than that from the US government. And we're
22:14
Speaker 1: sending far more than that to people in Ukraine. That
22:17
Speaker 1: is again shows you just how low the American people
22:20
Speaker 1: are on the priority list of this White House. I
22:23
Speaker 1: want to be ben for what it's worth. I'd pony
22:25
Speaker 1: up at least thirteen thousand for information on you. Thank you,
22:28
Speaker 1: Thank you, at least thirteen I got your back. It's
22:31
Speaker 1: not your twelve five man, You're the entire United States
22:35
Speaker 1: government right now? Do I get to combine funds because
22:37
Speaker 1: that's like almost twenty five right there. Look, I don't
22:41
Speaker 1: have a multi trillion dollars GDP, so you should feel
22:45
Speaker 1: really good. I just committed thirteen grand I'll be in
22:48
Speaker 1: trouble at home for that. I'm gonna get this in writing,
22:51
Speaker 1: Beaz if we ever go missing, we know, we know
22:53
Speaker 1: Senator Cruise has got our back on that one. I
22:56
Speaker 1: want to get to something else, and that is these
22:58
Speaker 1: By the way, thirteen. No one. I may be like
23:02
Speaker 1: new number who I don't know that that former person
23:07
Speaker 1: that I used to work with you. I can. I
23:09
Speaker 1: can hear the press conference right now. At least I'd
23:11
Speaker 1: get a press conference out of it. That would be
23:13
Speaker 1: the good news. I got your back. Thank you, thank you.
23:17
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I want to get in these emails
23:20
Speaker 1: with doctor Fauci that apparently these new emails are showing
23:24
Speaker 1: the doctor Anthony Faucci actually commissioned a scientific paper in
23:28
Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty to disprove the Wuhan lab leak
23:33
Speaker 1: quote theory. Before I get to that, I want to
23:36
Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at August of Precious Metals.
23:38
Speaker 1: You've probably seen what's been going on with the economy.
23:41
Speaker 1: You know what's happening with interest rates, and you know
23:43
Speaker 1: what's happening on Wall Street. So if you have saved
23:45
Speaker 1: a long time for retirement, you know how important it
23:48
Speaker 1: is to understand that you need to protect your dollars
23:52
Speaker 1: and you can do that with a gold ira. I'm
23:55
Speaker 1: excited to tell you about a company that I actually
23:58
Speaker 1: use and trust, August Precious Metals. They're different. They will
24:02
Speaker 1: tell you if a gold IRA isn't your answer. They
24:06
Speaker 1: just give you the facts. Now, a gust of precious
24:08
Speaker 1: metal is all about protecting your IRA in four one
24:11
Speaker 1: ks in this crazy economy, and that is so important
24:15
Speaker 1: close to retirement because there's no time to make up losses.
24:19
Speaker 1: So if you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more,
24:21
Speaker 1: you should take a look at their free guide and
24:23
Speaker 1: sign up for their free web conference. That's where you
24:26
Speaker 1: get the real information. I've done that web conference and
24:30
Speaker 1: it is amazing. You should check them out. Call them
24:33
Speaker 1: eight seven seven four the number four Gold IRA eight
24:37
Speaker 1: seven seven the number four Gold IRA, or visit Augusta
24:42
Speaker 1: Precious Metals dot com say I sent you and they'll
24:44
Speaker 1: pay your fees for up to ten years. That's Augusta
24:47
Speaker 1: Precious Metals dot Com or eight seven seven four Gold
24:50
Speaker 1: Ira Center. The more that comes out about what Fauci
24:56
Speaker 1: was up to, it is even to me little bit shocking.
25:00
Speaker 1: Now these new emails uncovered by the House Republicans probing
25:05
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic are now revealing the deceptive nature
25:09
Speaker 1: of doctor Anthony Fauci. They show that he prompted or
25:13
Speaker 1: commissioned and had final approval on a scientific paper written
25:18
Speaker 1: specifically in February of twenty twenty to disprove the theory
25:23
Speaker 1: that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab in China.
25:27
Speaker 1: Eight weeks later, Faucci also stood at the White House
25:30
Speaker 1: Press conference alongside Donald Trump incited that paper as evidence
25:35
Speaker 1: that the lab week theory was implausible, while pretending it
25:39
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with him and he did not
25:41
Speaker 1: know the authors. He was lying to the American people. Well, sadly,
25:47
Speaker 1: we've discovered that doctor Fauci is more than willing to
25:50
Speaker 1: lie to the American people, and he did so throughout
25:53
Speaker 1: this pandemic. He did so an enormous expense to his
25:57
Speaker 1: own integrity, to his own credibility, and an enormous expense
26:00
Speaker 1: to the credibility of the scientific and medical community in
26:03
Speaker 1: this country, particularly in the government. This particular story was
26:08
Speaker 1: broken by Miranda Divine in the New York Post, and
26:12
Speaker 1: I got to say, Miranda Divine has done an extraordinary
26:15
Speaker 1: job breaking these stories. She's focused aggressively on it. You know,
26:21
Speaker 1: when Fauci talked about this paper, he described it as
26:26
Speaker 1: a group of quote, highly qualified evolutionary virologist. They looked
26:32
Speaker 1: at the sequences in bats as they evolved, the mutations
26:35
Speaker 1: that it took to get to the point where it
26:37
Speaker 1: is now totally consistent with a jump of species from
26:41
Speaker 1: animal to human. So he continues, the paper will be available.
26:47
Speaker 1: I don't have the authors right now, but we can
26:49
Speaker 1: make it available to you. So he's laying it out
26:52
Speaker 1: as this scientific paper. It came out in Nature magazine
26:57
Speaker 1: on February seventeenth, twenty twenty, but it was written four
27:02
Speaker 1: days after Fauci had held a call with the four
27:06
Speaker 1: authors to discuss reports that COVID nineteen may have been
27:11
Speaker 1: leaked from Wuhun lab and quote may have been intentionally
27:15
Speaker 1: genetically manipulated, and the article. On February twelfth, Anderson, one
27:24
Speaker 1: of the authors of the article, submitted the paper to
27:26
Speaker 1: Nature Medicine with a cover email, there has been a
27:30
Speaker 1: lot of speculation, fairmongering, conspiracies put forth into space. This
27:34
Speaker 1: paper was prompted by Jeremy Farah, Tony Fauci, and Francis Collins.
27:42
Speaker 1: And Francis Collins was the head of the NIH the
27:46
Speaker 1: National Institute for Health. Ferrar was the head of the
27:52
Speaker 1: British nonprofit the Welcome Trust, which has deep ties to
27:56
Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical industry and the Gates Foundation and emails. On
28:04
Speaker 1: the day the paper was published, Ferrar was pushing through
28:08
Speaker 1: a crucial, crucial change. He said the following, this is
28:11
Speaker 1: a quote. Sorrow. Sorry to micromanage, micro edit, but would
28:16
Speaker 1: you be willing to change one sentence? And his change
28:21
Speaker 1: was to replace the word unlikely with the word improbable
28:26
Speaker 1: in a statement about the lab leak origin, so it
28:28
Speaker 1: would read it is improbable that SARS COVID two emerged
28:35
Speaker 1: through laboratory manipulation of an existing Stars related coronavirus. If
28:42
Speaker 1: you look at it. Fauci knew what he was doing.
28:48
Speaker 1: He prompted the scientist to write the article, and then
28:51
Speaker 1: he turns around and holds a press conference says, wow,
28:54
Speaker 1: look at this article. I don't know who wrote it,
28:56
Speaker 1: who knows, but they seem really credible. And you know what,
29:00
Speaker 1: it says the virus didn't come from a Chinese government lab. Now,
29:04
Speaker 1: mind you, that was false, and Fouche had all the
29:09
Speaker 1: evidence he needed to know it was false. He did
29:12
Speaker 1: that in February twenty twenty. Remember this podcast in March
29:15
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, one month later laid out the facts
29:19
Speaker 1: then that I think made it indisputably likely that it
29:25
Speaker 1: had escaped from a Chinese government lab. But doctor Fouch
29:29
Speaker 1: she didn't like that political story and so was willing
29:33
Speaker 1: to essentially fabricate evidence to prompt a scientific study that
29:40
Speaker 1: would enable him to turn around and say, gosh, I'm
29:42
Speaker 1: just following the science. When I believe he knew he
29:46
Speaker 1: was misleading the American people. Yeah, the way he put
29:49
Speaker 1: it at that press conference just showed how how shady
29:52
Speaker 1: this was. Hey, get me this and then I'll cite
29:54
Speaker 1: it like I didn't know about it, Like you guys
29:56
Speaker 1: are independent and they're they're literally colluding on this on
29:59
Speaker 1: the own. I had a time. And then when he
30:02
Speaker 1: brings to the American peoples like I had nothing to
30:03
Speaker 1: do with this, just found this independent study and this
30:07
Speaker 1: is par for the course. Now, with what we're finding
30:09
Speaker 1: out through these investigations, the question is, though, will there
30:13
Speaker 1: be any accountability for this? Fauci got paid, he got famous,
30:17
Speaker 1: he walked away from our government, being the highest paid
30:20
Speaker 1: bureaucrat on our payroll in our government. Do you believe that,
30:25
Speaker 1: even with all of this coming out, will there be
30:28
Speaker 1: any accountability? Because at this point, I think that's what
30:31
Speaker 1: so many Americans want. They just want to know that
30:34
Speaker 1: somebody is going to get in trouble for what they
30:36
Speaker 1: did to us in this country with COVID lockdowns, etc. So, sadly,
30:41
Speaker 1: I don't believe there's going to be any federal criminal liability.
30:44
Speaker 1: And the reason is simple. Under our constitution, there's one person,
30:47
Speaker 1: and one person only on the face of the planet,
30:49
Speaker 1: that can bring federal criminal charges. His name is Merrick Garland.
30:53
Speaker 1: He's the Attorney General of the United States. He is,
30:56
Speaker 1: as we've talked about on this podcast multiple times, I
30:58
Speaker 1: think the most political attorney general this country's ever seen.
31:02
Speaker 1: I've asked Merritt Garland repeatedly if he's willing to investigate
31:06
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci, if he's willing to prosecute Anthony Fauci for
31:09
Speaker 1: lying to the Congress, and Merritt Garland has refused to
31:12
Speaker 1: give a straight answer to that. As you and I
31:15
Speaker 1: said on this podcast at SEPAK last week, Merrick Garland
31:20
Speaker 1: might actually rival and even exceed Anthony Fauci for arrogance
31:26
Speaker 1: and self satisfied hubris. And that's hard to do. It
31:32
Speaker 1: is astonishingly hard to do. Both of them, I think
31:37
Speaker 1: have done enormous damage I think there will be accountability
31:41
Speaker 1: for Fauci number one in public opinion and public record.
31:43
Speaker 1: It's one of the values. What we're trying to do
31:47
Speaker 1: in the Senate, what we're trying to do in this podcast,
31:49
Speaker 1: what the House majority is doing with its subpoena power
31:53
Speaker 1: and its investigation sunlight is powerful. More and more people
31:57
Speaker 1: are learning that Anthony Foul was a liar. But he
32:02
Speaker 1: wasn't just a liar. He was a deliberate liar. He
32:04
Speaker 1: knew he was lying. He was willing to put politics
32:07
Speaker 1: above science and medicine. And on the left, you know,
32:12
Speaker 1: the left lives so often. And by the left, I
32:15
Speaker 1: mean democrats, I mean the bureaucratic estate of the regulators
32:23
Speaker 1: in our government, and I mean the media, the corporate media,
32:27
Speaker 1: that they live in a fact free environment where they
32:30
Speaker 1: have a narrative, they tell facts that they tell a
32:32
Speaker 1: story in the facts don't matter. And we now know
32:37
Speaker 1: not one but two agencies in the Biden administration admit
32:40
Speaker 1: what was obvious three years ago, which is that COVID
32:44
Speaker 1: likely escaped from a Chinese government lab. At this point,
32:47
Speaker 1: the Biden Department of Energy has concluded that, and the
32:49
Speaker 1: Biden FBI has concluded that, and that means when Fauci
32:54
Speaker 1: was teeing up these quote scientific articles, he was deliberately
32:59
Speaker 1: creating materials that were deceptive and the American people ought
33:05
Speaker 1: to be really ticked off. Why was Tony Fauci trying
33:08
Speaker 1: to cover up for communist China and for its culpability
33:12
Speaker 1: in this pandemic? Yeah, no doubt about it. And more
33:15
Speaker 1: this is coming out. We'll keep you updated on what
33:18
Speaker 1: is found. Specifically from the Republicans on the House side,
33:22
Speaker 1: is they're continuing to look into this. Finally, Senator, I
33:25
Speaker 1: want to talk about January the sixth, and these tapes
33:28
Speaker 1: have come out, They are being broadcast, the footage is
33:31
Speaker 1: being looked at the leadership of the Republican Party and
33:35
Speaker 1: in the Senate side, Mitch McConnell's saying he doesn't really
33:38
Speaker 1: like how this is going down, and I want to
33:39
Speaker 1: get your reaction that. Before I do that, I want
33:41
Speaker 1: to tell you about our friends at Patriot Mobile. If
33:44
Speaker 1: you want to vote with your dollars and you want
33:47
Speaker 1: to have an impact with your dollars, you want to
33:50
Speaker 1: give your money to companies that are aligned with your values,
33:54
Speaker 1: you can do it every month when you pay your
33:56
Speaker 1: cell phone bill by switching to Patriot Mobile. Now, switching
33:59
Speaker 1: is easy. Now you're also going to get the same
34:02
Speaker 1: great coverage that you have right now. You're gonna get
34:05
Speaker 1: keep your same cell phone number. The difference is when
34:08
Speaker 1: you pay your bill every month, the portion of that
34:10
Speaker 1: bill goes to support First and Second Amendment causes. Also,
34:15
Speaker 1: they give money to support the rights of unborn children
34:19
Speaker 1: and even help with adoptions. Patriot Mobile is a conservative
34:23
Speaker 1: Christian company that is standing by what we believe in.
34:26
Speaker 1: So make a difference. Every time you use your phone,
34:29
Speaker 1: call them, use the promo code Verdict. You'll get the
34:32
Speaker 1: best savings of the day. And if you are an
34:35
Speaker 1: American business owner small business owner, they have an entire
34:38
Speaker 1: division dedicated to small businesses as well. Eight seven eight

Speaker 1: or online at Patriot Mobile dot com. Slash verdict that's
34:51
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict. Senator, January the sixth,
34:58
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of fodder. I've said this, you
35:00
Speaker 1: and I've talked about this. If you were attacking police,
35:03
Speaker 1: you deserve to be arresting, go to jail. If you're
35:05
Speaker 1: breaking down windows, you deserved to be arrested and go
35:07
Speaker 1: to jail. But there's a lot of tape that's now
35:10
Speaker 1: coming out and it's nothing like nine to eleven, which
35:13
Speaker 1: Democrats have said that it was like that day. And
35:17
Speaker 1: now we're finding out about the lives of the January
35:20
Speaker 1: sixth committee, where apparently they were altering sound, they were
35:24
Speaker 1: altering tape. The man who led that committee, Benny Thompson,
35:30
Speaker 1: was asked about this earlier by a reporter Carry Pickett
35:34
Speaker 1: at the Washington Times. This is what was said in
35:38
Speaker 1: the back and forth presentation that came out last night,
35:42
Speaker 1: calling generous sixth stink Washington Times. I just thought this
35:47
Speaker 1: calling the generous six selectimitty liars. So you guys selectively
35:51
Speaker 1: edited the tapes, said that you guys pretty much to
35:57
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, particularly the way you guys it out, selectively
36:01
Speaker 1: edited clips, put in sound that didn't exist from the
36:06
Speaker 1: producers from the from NBC. That tell me, I just
36:12
Speaker 1: told you it's not true. Well, then that's not true, okay.
36:19
Speaker 1: Senator Hally theah clipped with him running by himself when
36:22
Speaker 1: the fact that there are a whole bunch of senators
36:24
Speaker 1: who are actually running out together. When he was mocked.
36:28
Speaker 1: Is that true or is that not true? Senator Hally
36:32
Speaker 1: running by himself when he was running with a whole
36:34
Speaker 1: bunch of other senators. He was running with a whole
36:37
Speaker 1: bunch of their senators though he was running with a
36:39
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other senators. What about Jacob Chancelly, he
36:46
Speaker 1: was he was completely peaceful. Thank you, sir. I don't
36:52
Speaker 1: know him. Senator, this is the guy ran the January
36:55
Speaker 1: sixth Committee. He's saying, we didn't change any video except
37:00
Speaker 1: when you see the raw video. It's very clear that
37:03
Speaker 1: the January sixth Committee, who hired TV executives to producers
37:08
Speaker 1: to come run their hearings, they edited the hell out
37:11
Speaker 1: of these tapes and put things up there that just
37:13
Speaker 1: didn't happen. The January sixth Committee in the House of
37:16
Speaker 1: Representatives was a kangaroo court. It was designed to be
37:21
Speaker 1: a political circus. Nancy Pelosi structured it so it had
37:25
Speaker 1: only Democrats and two Republicans who would go along with
37:29
Speaker 1: the Democrats on everything. When Republicans wanted to put real
37:35
Speaker 1: Republicans who would stand up and actually cross examine witnesses,
37:38
Speaker 1: actually try to get to the facts of what happened.
37:40
Speaker 1: Pelosi said nope, nope, we don't want any cross examination,
37:44
Speaker 1: We don't want any facts. This is a political circus. So,
37:49
Speaker 1: for example, Kevin McCarthy wanted to put Jim Jordan on.
37:52
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan would have questioned the hell at every one
37:54
Speaker 1: of those witnesses. Nancy Pelosi said, oh, no, no, no,
37:57
Speaker 1: our witnesses can't handle questioning. No, no, no no, we don't
38:00
Speaker 1: want him there. You know, an ordinary congressional committee, you
38:05
Speaker 1: have a roughly equal member of a number of members
38:08
Speaker 1: from both sides, which means every witness that comes before
38:12
Speaker 1: them gets questioned by both sides. And there's a virtue
38:16
Speaker 1: to the give and take of a hearing if you
38:19
Speaker 1: think about it, a criminal trial. A criminal trial would
38:22
Speaker 1: be very different if the prosecution were the only people
38:24
Speaker 1: allowed to talk, Like if the defense lawyer didn't get
38:27
Speaker 1: to speak, you just had the prosecution present evidence. You
38:30
Speaker 1: know what, just about everyone would get convicted. It would
38:33
Speaker 1: take a terrible prosecutor who couldn't convict if the defense
38:37
Speaker 1: lawyer wasn't allowed to talk, wasn't allowed to question witnesses.
38:41
Speaker 1: That's what Nancy Pelosi did with a January sixth committee.
38:45
Speaker 1: She basically set up it was and you mentioned they
38:49
Speaker 1: hired a Hollywood producer, a producer from Good Morning America
38:53
Speaker 1: to put on a political infomercial, and the infomercial was
38:58
Speaker 1: designed to tell one worry about January sixth. That was
39:01
Speaker 1: deliberately one sided. And so I'm very glad Kevin McCarthy
39:06
Speaker 1: has handed the footage over from January sixth over to
39:09
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson his show that he put out this week
39:12
Speaker 1: where he went through that video and he showed a
39:14
Speaker 1: lot of portions of video that were totally different from
39:18
Speaker 1: what that kangaroo court put out. And I think it's
39:21
Speaker 1: important for the American people to know what happened. As
39:26
Speaker 1: you said a minute ago, Ben, anyone on January sixth
39:30
Speaker 1: who committed a crime of violence, anyone who assaulted a
39:33
Speaker 1: police officer, that person should be prosecuted and go to jail.
39:37
Speaker 1: You don't get to commit a crime of violence, whether
39:39
Speaker 1: I agree with your politics or I don't. Violence is
39:43
Speaker 1: a crime and you should go to jail. But anyone
39:47
Speaker 1: who engaged in peaceful protests who simply spoke what they believed.
39:51
Speaker 1: There were thousands upon thousands of peaceful protesters there on
39:55
Speaker 1: January sixth who didn't violate the law, they exercised their
40:00
Speaker 1: First Amendment rights, and for two years we've seen democrats
40:03
Speaker 1: and the corporate media cynically trying to paint those little
40:07
Speaker 1: old ladies waiving American flags and singing God Bless America
40:11
Speaker 1: with the action of a much smaller number of individuals
40:14
Speaker 1: who committed crimes of violence, and so releasing this video
40:18
Speaker 1: is really powerful to show. As you've played in that
40:23
Speaker 1: exchange with a Washington Times reporter, the January sixth Committee
40:28
Speaker 1: released a video and then added a soundtrack. It's like
40:31
Speaker 1: a sitcom, adding the laugh track. They added noise that's
40:35
Speaker 1: not in the video. Why because it made really good TV. Wow,
40:38
Speaker 1: it sounded scary. They put a lot of scary noise there,
40:41
Speaker 1: so that must have been what it was like. And
40:44
Speaker 1: my hope is that this video gets reviewed and gets
40:50
Speaker 1: made available to the public. I hope much more widely
40:53
Speaker 1: than Tucker Carlson. I'm glad Tucker is making it available,
40:56
Speaker 1: but I think it ought to be available more widely
40:58
Speaker 1: so we can get a true and accurate picture of
41:02
Speaker 1: what happened. Those that committed crimes of violence can be
41:04
Speaker 1: held accountable, but those who are being persecuted for their
41:08
Speaker 1: political views, which is what the Biden administration can do.
41:12
Speaker 1: They can be exonerated, and this video is powerful on
41:15
Speaker 1: both fronts. You mentioned the other day and you asked
41:19
Speaker 1: the question of the FBI about Ray Epps specifically, and
41:23
Speaker 1: I think we should go back to that because one
41:26
Speaker 1: of the things that Tuger Carlson focused on on his
41:29
Speaker 1: second show was Ray Epps. Here's thirty five seconds of
41:34
Speaker 1: what he showed in these videos that many people have
41:37
Speaker 1: never seen about Ray Epps, who you asked about the FBI.
41:41
Speaker 1: Listen to this tonight. We can tell you that at
41:43
Speaker 1: the very least, Ray Epps live. In his sworn testimony
41:46
Speaker 1: to the January sixth Committee, Epps testified that when he
41:50
Speaker 1: sent the text messages to his nephew, he had already
41:53
Speaker 1: left the Capitol grounds to return to his hotel room.
41:56
Speaker 1: That is not true. The surveillance footage we found shows that,
42:00
Speaker 1: in fact, Ray Epps remained at the Capitol for at
42:03
Speaker 1: least another half an hour. You're seeing that on your screen. Now,
42:07
Speaker 1: what was Epps doing there? We can't say, but we
42:10
Speaker 1: do know that he lied to investigators. The January sixth
42:14
Speaker 1: Committee likely knew this too. Democrats had access to the
42:17
Speaker 1: same teape, yet they defended Ray Epps. No honest investigation
42:22
Speaker 1: would do that. But the point of the January sixth
42:25
Speaker 1: committee was never to investigate anything. The point was the
42:28
Speaker 1: stage of made for TV show trial. I mean, we
42:33
Speaker 1: see that time stamp. You see that Ray absolutely slied
42:36
Speaker 1: about this. Have you still and is there any chance
42:39
Speaker 1: that we're going to get a straight answer on who
42:41
Speaker 1: the hell Ray Apps is? And is he an informant?
42:43
Speaker 1: Was he put there by the FBI well sadly from
42:48
Speaker 1: the Biden Justice Department, from the Biden FBI? I think
42:50
Speaker 1: the chances are very slim. I would encourage podcast listeners
42:54
Speaker 1: go back and google a podcast we did a long
42:57
Speaker 1: time ago that is entitled who is Ray Epps? And
43:01
Speaker 1: we devoted an entire episode of Verdict to that question.
43:05
Speaker 1: And it followed a Judiciary Committee hearing in which I
43:08
Speaker 1: was questioning senior officials from the Department of Justice and
43:12
Speaker 1: from the FBI, and I asked them about how many
43:15
Speaker 1: undercover agents they had at the protest on January sixth.
43:20
Speaker 1: They refused to answer how many of them? Did any
43:22
Speaker 1: of them engage in acts of violence? They refused to answer,
43:25
Speaker 1: did any of them encourage or incite others to engage
43:28
Speaker 1: in acts of violence. They refuse to answer. If you
43:30
Speaker 1: look at ray Epps his behavior at the time, where
43:33
Speaker 1: he's urging people, we must go into the capital. Not
43:36
Speaker 1: just to the capital, we must go into the capitol.
43:38
Speaker 1: It's really quite remarkable. You watch the video, the crowd
43:42
Speaker 1: starts chanting at ray Epps, fed fed fed. The crowd
43:47
Speaker 1: believes he is working for the federal government. And I
43:52
Speaker 1: get to say, the lack of willingness to answer those
43:58
Speaker 1: questions from the Biden administration is incredibly troubling. Look, if
44:03
Speaker 1: someone commits a violent crime, they should be prosecuted. But
44:06
Speaker 1: there's an exception to that, which is if the federal
44:09
Speaker 1: government incites that crime, if the federal government entraps someone.
44:16
Speaker 1: In other words, an undercover cop can't come to your
44:20
Speaker 1: house and say, hey, Ben, have you looked down the street.
44:24
Speaker 1: There's a liquor store there. Maybe we had to go
44:26
Speaker 1: knock off the liquor store. What are you thinking. You're like, oh,
44:29
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really need to come on, man,
44:31
Speaker 1: we can do it. We can do it. And if
44:33
Speaker 1: you go knock off the liquor store, you know what,
44:35
Speaker 1: at your criminal prosecution, you can raise a defensive and
44:38
Speaker 1: trapman and say, wait a second, it was law enforcement
44:42
Speaker 1: who came up with the idea. It was law enforcement
44:44
Speaker 1: encouraged me to do it. I wouldn't have done it.
44:46
Speaker 1: I was sitting at home recording a podcast until suddenly
44:50
Speaker 1: someone knocked on my door and said, let's go knock
44:53
Speaker 1: off a liquor store. The government can't do that. And
44:56
Speaker 1: so the question on January sixth, one of them most
45:00
Speaker 1: important questions, is to one extent, did federal law enforcement
45:06
Speaker 1: insight and entrap people into criminal violations? And the fact
45:12
Speaker 1: that Tucker has aired what appears to be video contradicting
45:17
Speaker 1: ray Epps's testimony that raises serious questions. And it's amazing
45:23
Speaker 1: the Democrats on the January sixth committee when ask about Yapps,
45:27
Speaker 1: they hate every single person who was at January sixth.
45:30
Speaker 1: They're all evil, horrific insurrectionists except Ray Apps. And they
45:35
Speaker 1: defend him like crazy, which I got to admit, when
45:38
Speaker 1: you have hardcore partisans defending someone, that certainly raises some questions.
45:44
Speaker 1: Why are they defending him? And to be quit, Ray
45:46
Speaker 1: Apps has never been charged with any crimes, Absolutely true,
45:49
Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe there is an explanation. But
45:53
Speaker 1: on the face of it, so there's another video where
45:57
Speaker 1: he's in the crowd. He whispers in a guy's ear,
46:00
Speaker 1: and seconds later the guy starts tearing down the barricades
46:03
Speaker 1: to go into the Capitol. That conduct appears to be
46:09
Speaker 1: encouraging him to violate the law. We don't know what
46:11
Speaker 1: he whispered, but the fact that the FBI won't answer
46:16
Speaker 1: that question and listen, I get it as a general matter,
46:21
Speaker 1: your dad was in law enforcement for a long time.
46:24
Speaker 1: As a general matter, you send in an undercover cop,
46:27
Speaker 1: you don't admit who the undercover cop is, you don't
46:29
Speaker 1: admit what he's done. And by the way, undercover policing
46:32
Speaker 1: is a legitimate form of law enforcement. January sixth was
46:38
Speaker 1: not a typical day. I don't think that's hyperbole to
46:40
Speaker 1: say the Democrats and the Biden administration have suggested it
46:46
Speaker 1: was a national tragedy on the order of nine to
46:49
Speaker 1: eleven and Pearl Harbor. If they are going to maintain
46:55
Speaker 1: that's the case, the American people deserve to know what
46:58
Speaker 1: actually happened that day, and they need deserve to know
47:02
Speaker 1: what the precise level of culpability the federal government bears
47:06
Speaker 1: in the criminal conduct on that day, and yet the
47:10
Speaker 1: Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI remain dug in and
47:14
Speaker 1: animately opposed to any accountability. The FBI could answer this question,
47:20
Speaker 1: they refuse to, and it's because they ultimately don't think
47:25
Speaker 1: the public has a right to know. I think that's
47:29
Speaker 1: represents a grotesque disrespect for the American people, no doubt
47:35
Speaker 1: about it. This may be one of my favorite podcasts
47:37
