Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: I want you to imagine going into church, and I
- 0:05Speaker 1: want you to imagine that the people at church that
- 0:10Speaker 1: you trust, the people in your church that you listen to,
- 0:15Speaker 1: the people in your church that you go to with
- 0:19Speaker 1: your problems, may not actually be there to help you,
- 0:23Speaker 1: but instead are there to spy on you. And you
- 0:29Speaker 1: trust them with your faith, You trust them with guidance,
- 0:35Speaker 1: trust them with giving you and your family direction. How
- 0:42Speaker 1: would you feel if you found out that the leadership
- 0:46Speaker 1: in your church, the parishioners in your church, were actually
- 0:49Speaker 1: spying on you, giving intel on you and your family
- 0:55Speaker 1: and your friends, other people that come to worship with you,
- 1:00Speaker 1: to the United States government, specifically to the FBI. Apparently
- 1:07Speaker 1: that's exactly what has been happening for some people going
- 1:10Speaker 1: to church that are Catholic. How do we know this
- 1:15Speaker 1: from a whistleblower? A whistleblower has come forward and given
- 1:21Speaker 1: information that the FBI was actually going into traditional Catholic churches.
- 1:29Speaker 1: What does traditional mean? Latin Mass would put you in
- 1:32Speaker 1: the traditional category, but that's not what they'll call you
- 1:36Speaker 1: at the FBI. They'll call you an extremist. And they
- 1:41Speaker 1: went in looking for informants, looking for church leaders who
- 1:46Speaker 1: are willing to spy on their own congregation, on behalf
- 1:50Speaker 1: of the federal government, on behalf of the FBI. I
- 1:54Speaker 1: want you to just think about the fact that we
- 1:58Speaker 1: now live in a country where the Justice Department has
- 2:03Speaker 1: been weaponized to put political opponents in prison. Donald Trump
- 2:09Speaker 1: is that example. I want you to think about this
- 2:14Speaker 1: for a moment and realize that the same government of
- 2:18Speaker 1: a country supposed to be the beacon of light to
- 2:21Speaker 1: the world of what freedom looks like sent memos around
- 2:26Speaker 1: from the FBI as well categorizing parents that showed up
- 2:33Speaker 1: to school board meetings as domestic terrorists. Let that sink in.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I want you to think about the fact that we
- 2:42Speaker 1: live in a country now that will blackmail presidents while
- 2:47Speaker 1: they're in office, claiming that they committed heinous crimes by
- 2:50Speaker 1: making phone calls to foreign leaders, like Donald Trump did
- 2:54Speaker 1: with Ukraine. I want you to think about the fact
- 2:59Speaker 1: that we live in a country now where you can
- 3:04Speaker 1: have your political opponent come after you make up charges
- 3:10Speaker 1: against you that you were colluding with the Russians. A
- 3:12Speaker 1: communist country can pay for that entire story to be
- 3:21Speaker 1: fabricated out of thin air, and then it can be
- 3:23Speaker 1: used against you to come after not just you, but
- 3:25Speaker 1: your family. I want you to imagine being on a
- 3:30Speaker 1: list because of a symbol that you have on a shirt,
- 3:38Speaker 1: a symbol that you may have on a flag, a
- 3:41Speaker 1: symbol for example, come and Take It, or a symbol
- 3:48Speaker 1: that was actually on a license plate in Virginia, symbols
- 3:52Speaker 1: that then now got you categorized as an extremist, as
- 3:57Speaker 1: a member of an extremist group, even though you're just
- 4:01Speaker 1: a citizen who's proud of history. What am I talking about?
- 4:06Speaker 1: The FBI put out guidance on symbols that indicated quote
- 4:11Speaker 1: extremist groups. One of those extremists could be Sender Ted Cruz.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Senor Ted Cruz had the come and Take It emblem
- 4:21Speaker 1: on his boots, being a senator from Texas. That can
- 4:26Speaker 1: put you on extremist watch list with the FBI, let
- 4:30Speaker 1: all that sink in. And while you're letting all that
- 4:33Speaker 1: sink in, I want you to hear the FBI Director
- 4:36Speaker 1: Ray explain himself to Sender Ted Cruz about this. And
- 4:41Speaker 1: this was a year ago before the Catholic issue broke.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And this is a text that I was particularly struck
- 4:49Speaker 1: is the Gonzales battle flag, Come and take it as
- 4:53Speaker 1: indicative of being a violent extremist militia. Well, I will
- 4:56Speaker 1: self report right now that every day in the Senate
- 4:59Speaker 1: I wear my boots that have the Gonzales Battle flag
- 5:03Speaker 1: on the back of them. Director Ray, what are y'all doing?
- 5:08Speaker 1: This makes no sense. Do you agree with this FBI
- 5:13Speaker 1: guidance that the Betsy Ross flag and the Gadson flag
- 5:19Speaker 1: and the Gonzales Battle flag are signs? By the way,
- 5:22Speaker 1: the Gadscan flag, guessing you know, is on a license
- 5:26Speaker 1: plate in Virginia, And now that means that you're an
- 5:30Speaker 1: extremist of militia violent extremism. Well, Centator, I'm not familiar
- 5:37Speaker 1: with the particular document you have behind you, and I'm
- 5:40Speaker 1: not in the practice of trying to comment on documents
- 5:43Speaker 1: that I haven't recognized. But I will tell you that
- 5:46Speaker 1: when we put out intelligence products, including ones that reference symbols,
- 5:51Speaker 1: which we do across a wide variety of contexts, we
- 5:55Speaker 1: usually make great pains, take great pains to put caveats
- 6:03Speaker 1: and warnings in the document to make clear that a
- 6:06Speaker 1: symbol alone is not considered evidence of violent extremism. Really,
- 6:11Speaker 1: because you put out an actual warning that did the
- 6:14Speaker 1: exact opposite of what you're now claiming at the FBI.
- 6:17Speaker 1: That was a year ago. Now, going to a traditional
- 6:20Speaker 1: Catholic mass can turn you into a domestic terrorists. Going
- 6:24Speaker 1: to a school board meeting can turn you into a
- 6:31Speaker 1: domestic terrorist. Let me play for you. One of the
- 6:37Speaker 1: whistle blowers about the Catholics and this whole idea being
- 6:43Speaker 1: spied on went to Senator Holly's office. He talked about
- 6:49Speaker 1: what happened here. All right, Before I get into more
- 6:52Speaker 1: of that, I want to talk to you about Patriot Mobile.
- 6:55Speaker 1: They are the only conservative Christian cell phone company in

- 8:22Speaker 1: all of this. I want you to hear what he
- 8:23Speaker 1: had to say in reference this on Hannity. Senator Josh
- 8:29Speaker 1: Holly is with us now with reaction. Senator, did the
- 8:31Speaker 1: Attorney General of the US just lie to you in
- 8:34Speaker 1: that exchange? Do we now know that Sara looks like it? Sean,
- 8:38Speaker 1: Sara looks like it? Listen. He knew at the time
- 8:42Speaker 1: that he couldn't answer the question because it looks so bad.
- 8:44Speaker 1: He knew that it looked beyond the pale, and it
- 8:46Speaker 1: is beyond the pale Sean for the FBI to be
- 8:49Speaker 1: going into any church in America and trying to spy
- 8:52Speaker 1: on Americans. And now we know that's exactly what they
- 8:55Speaker 1: were doing. They are infiltrating churches. They are trying to
- 8:59Speaker 1: spy on us. They were guard churches apparently as the
- 9:02Speaker 1: enemy in church going Americans, as a kin to terrorist.
- 9:05Speaker 1: And yeah, but the Attorney General sat right there and
- 9:07Speaker 1: told me, no, we don't do that, And now we
- 9:09Speaker 1: know they do in fact target churches and they have been.
- 9:12Speaker 1: There's got to be accountability for this Sean. He's got
- 9:15Speaker 1: to be called on the carpet. The House needs to
- 9:17Speaker 1: call him. The Senate should call him too, but the
- 9:18Speaker 1: Democrats will never do it. There's got to be some
- 9:21Speaker 1: accountability and the targeting of Christians and churches has got
- 9:24Speaker 1: to end. Let me read from your letter to the
- 9:27Speaker 1: Attorney General. Let's be clear, your department has decided to
- 9:30Speaker 1: turn Catholic congregations into front organizations for the FBI, and
- 9:36Speaker 1: when asked about it, you decided to fudge the truth
- 9:38Speaker 1: before Congress. You wrote in that letter that was earlier
- 9:41Speaker 1: this morning, and you said this is an unconscionable assault
- 9:44Speaker 1: on American Catholics First Amendment rights and an abdication of
- 9:48Speaker 1: your duty to enforce the law without fear or favor. Now,
- 9:53Speaker 1: you know, we've been dealing with issues involving whether or
- 9:55Speaker 1: not the FBI has been politicized and whether the BIDENDJ
- 9:59Speaker 1: has been weaponized. Do you believe not only that he
- 10:03Speaker 1: did not tell you the full truth, that in fact,
- 10:05Speaker 1: the opposite happened, that they were involved in recruitment at
- 10:09Speaker 1: these churches? Number one and number two? What should be
- 10:12Speaker 1: done about it? Well? Number one, Yeah, it looks like
- 10:15Speaker 1: they were involved in recruitment. Look, all I know is
- 10:17Speaker 1: with the House Judiciary Committee turned up which is actual
- 10:20Speaker 1: evidence that the FBI did go Sean and cultivate I
- 10:23Speaker 1: think they called it undercover sources at these Catholic parishes,
- 10:27Speaker 1: that they stood up a program to try to get
- 10:29Speaker 1: into these Catholic churches and Sean. You and I both
- 10:31Speaker 1: know if they're doing it in Catholic churches, they're doing
- 10:33Speaker 1: it in another Christian churches. They're probably doing it in
- 10:36Speaker 1: Orthodox communities. It's all over. I mean, you know for
- 10:38Speaker 1: a fact that they're not just cherry picking. This is
- 10:42Speaker 1: a policy on their part, and we've seen it before, Sean.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We've seen them use swat teams against pro life Catholics.
- 10:48Speaker 1: We have seen them go after parents who dare to
- 10:51Speaker 1: question what they're doing in schools. This is a pattern
- 10:54Speaker 1: and practice of this administration to use law enforcement against
- 10:57Speaker 1: anybody who questions them, and especial to use it against
- 11:01Speaker 1: people of faith. You know that to me is particularly troubling. Well,
- 11:06Speaker 1: when you look at all of these individual issues. For example,
- 11:10Speaker 1: let me just go back to something that he said there.
- 11:12Speaker 1: If they're doing this to the Catholic faith, then they're
- 11:16Speaker 1: probably doing it to other faiths as well. I have
- 11:19Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind that this wasn't just Catholics
- 11:23Speaker 1: that were being attacked here. This is just the whistle
- 11:25Speaker 1: blower who grabbed a memo that has started this, that
- 11:29Speaker 1: is at leaked this and this memo that they have
- 11:32Speaker 1: now since quote resended. Okay, they've resented the memo. Let's
- 11:38Speaker 1: be clear about that. They've rescinded it. Now resending a memo,
- 11:44Speaker 1: what does that mean. It means they're saying, Okay, are bad,
- 11:47Speaker 1: We're not doing this anymore. Are they not doing anymore?
- 11:51Speaker 1: Because it was an accident no, they're saying they're not
- 11:54Speaker 1: doing anymore because they got caught. That's the only difference
- 11:59Speaker 1: here is that they got caught. Are they doing this
- 12:04Speaker 1: to other religions? That's what I want to know. And
- 12:07Speaker 1: if they are doing this to other religions, then how
- 12:13Speaker 1: long have they been doing it? How many different pastors
- 12:18Speaker 1: or priests, how many different leaders have been weaponized against
- 12:23Speaker 1: their own congregations by the FBI. I want you to
- 12:28Speaker 1: imagine by the way, that the FBI comes to you
- 12:30Speaker 1: and you're a leader in a church and they're like, hey,
- 12:33Speaker 1: we need you to be you are you know? Our
- 12:36Speaker 1: eyes in here. And if you see anybody you think
- 12:39Speaker 1: might be an extremist, right who comes to a mass,
- 12:45Speaker 1: a Catholic mass, right that is maybe said in a
- 12:50Speaker 1: different language in Latin. We know that means they're probably
- 12:56Speaker 1: more traditional in their values. Let us know about them.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Let's talk about what that means about traditional values. This
- 13:05Speaker 1: is targeting and weaponizing hardcore traditional conservatives in this country. Okay,
- 13:13Speaker 1: that's what this is. People need to understand that this
- 13:20Speaker 1: is attacking people that believe in traditional values of Let's
- 13:26Speaker 1: say you show up for a church and your church
- 13:29Speaker 1: is traditional and they're not buying into the woke bud
- 13:32Speaker 1: light agenda of a dude can be a chick on
- 13:35Speaker 1: the side of a can. Does that mean I'm now
- 13:37Speaker 1: on a terrorist watch list? If I'm a talk show host,
- 13:44Speaker 1: which I obviously am am, I automatically on a list
- 13:49Speaker 1: because I defend traditional values and the First and the
- 13:52Speaker 1: Second Amendment. The scary part is I assume that I'm
- 13:56Speaker 1: on a list. I assume that I'm on a list
- 14:00Speaker 1: because I'm an outspoken conservative. I assume in the United
- 14:04Speaker 1: States America, the supposed to be the freest country in
- 14:07Speaker 1: the world, that I'm on a list because I've been
- 14:09Speaker 1: on national TV talking about these issues. Was the one
- 14:14Speaker 1: Lucky Guy on the couchs for an hour on Fox
- 14:16Speaker 1: News Channel yesterday hosting out Numbered. I have a feeling
- 14:22Speaker 1: that gets you on a list pretty quick. When you
- 14:24Speaker 1: write a conservative book calling out government officials for abusing
- 14:31Speaker 1: their power, does that get you on a list? I
- 14:33Speaker 1: would assume that gets me on a list. We shouldn't
- 14:39Speaker 1: live in a country where I assume by standing up
- 14:42Speaker 1: for traditional values and no threat to this country, I'm
- 14:47Speaker 1: a defender of this country. I'm a defender of the
- 14:49Speaker 1: Constitution as many of you listening are as well. That
- 14:54Speaker 1: shouldn't put you on a list. But just think about
- 14:56Speaker 1: the idea that going to a church term turns you
- 15:00Speaker 1: into a threat to the Biden regime. This is why
- 15:04Speaker 1: I've said the Democratic Party is dead. They are now
- 15:08Speaker 1: communists because communists spy on people in church. Democrats didn't
- 15:13Speaker 1: do that. The Democratic Party that we know is dead.
- 15:18Speaker 1: This is the Communist Party, and the Communist Party is
- 15:24Speaker 1: growing in this country and expanding in this country. Remind
- 15:30Speaker 1: yourself of the fact that when parents went to school
- 15:33Speaker 1: boards because they didn't want their kids to be indoctrinated
- 15:37Speaker 1: in sexualization of miners, of kindergarteners into this vocalism of
- 15:43Speaker 1: a little Sammy can actually be little Debbie, little Susie
- 15:48Speaker 1: can be Timmy if they want to. Where you don't
- 15:51Speaker 1: want your kid having books that talk about sexual or
- 15:55Speaker 1: gay intercourse that they can read in the library at
- 15:59Speaker 1: first grade or kindergarten. If you found out that this
- 16:05Speaker 1: agenda was in your schools, which for many people listening
- 16:09Speaker 1: it actually is right now, if you went and showed
- 16:12Speaker 1: up because you didn't want them to host a drag
- 16:16Speaker 1: queen story hour, if you went to a school because
- 16:21Speaker 1: you wanted to protect your beautiful daughter from having a
- 16:24Speaker 1: dude come into the locker room and see her naked.
- 16:28Speaker 1: The FBI, under the communist regime of the Democratic Party,
- 16:34Speaker 1: labeled you as a domestic terrorist threat. You were a
- 16:40Speaker 1: threat because you stood up for your values and you
- 16:43Speaker 1: stood up for your children. Let's talk about a great
- 16:47Speaker 1: opportunity for your IRA. In four oh one ks. You
- 16:50Speaker 1: can get free gold just by learning about gold iras
- 16:54Speaker 1: from Augusta Precious Metals. It's important that you know what's
- 16:57Speaker 1: going on in this crazy economy and your heart earned
- 17:00Speaker 1: savings need protecting from the devalued dollar. Protecting from the
- 17:04Speaker 1: devalued dollar, especially if you're close to retirement. Augusta Precious
- 17:08Speaker 1: Metals will give you information on how to protect your
- 17:10Speaker 1: savings and open a gold IRA. So if you've saved
- 17:13Speaker 1: at least one hundred thousand for retirement, call and ask
- 17:16Speaker 1: about their ultimate guide to gold Iras. I trust Augusta
- 17:21Speaker 1: Precious Metals and you can too. They will make sure
- 17:23Speaker 1: that you understand what is best for you and your portfolio.
- 17:27Speaker 1: There's a reason Money magazine says they are the best
- 17:30Speaker 1: gold IRA company. Get free gold, free information and retirement
- 17:35Speaker 1: protection now by calling eight seven seven four gold Ira.
- 17:40Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven the number four gold IRA or
- 17:43Speaker 1: Augusta Precious Metals dot Com. If you take a step
- 17:47Speaker 1: back from what's happening just for the Catholic Church and
- 17:51Speaker 1: you look at the general theme. The general theme right
- 17:56Speaker 1: now is an assault on virtually every traditional religion in
- 18:01Speaker 1: this country. The media is pushing this narrative that you're
- 18:06Speaker 1: a bigot, you're a racist, you're a homophobe, you're anti
- 18:11Speaker 1: LGBTQIA if you do not agree with the woke ideology
- 18:19Speaker 1: that they demand of you, and the woke ideology demand
- 18:23Speaker 1: of you as being accepting of everything, of every lifestyle,
- 18:27Speaker 1: and if you don't, you're now an extremist. It's exactly
- 18:30Speaker 1: what they did to parents, right you show up for
- 18:32Speaker 1: your school board meetings, you're an extremist. You're a conservative,
- 18:36Speaker 1: You're an extremist. That's what they've said, and they keep
- 18:40Speaker 1: saying it, and they keep saying it. They keep saying
- 18:42Speaker 1: it because they want to destroy the church. They want
- 18:47Speaker 1: to destroy religion, they want to destroy faith, they want
- 18:50Speaker 1: to destroy community. Because if they can kill your community
- 18:54Speaker 1: and kill your faith, and they can kill your belief
- 18:57Speaker 1: in something bigger than the government can become your god.
- 19:00Speaker 1: That's how communism works, right. The government is the God
- 19:04Speaker 1: and the God is who is in charge of you.
- 19:08Speaker 1: This is why I go back to what I've said
- 19:09Speaker 1: and I will keep saying it. The Democratic Party died.
- 19:14Speaker 1: They've they've gone after a president using our judicial system,
- 19:19Speaker 1: knowing that they are abusing the law. They don't care.
- 19:23Speaker 1: They are now communists. They're not a Democratic party. They're
- 19:26Speaker 1: a communist party masquerading is Democrats. To like, lessen the blow,
- 19:32Speaker 1: I guess would be a way of putting it. You
- 19:37Speaker 1: have an FBI that is no longer about law and order,
- 19:39Speaker 1: it's about coming after you, and you have a media
- 19:41Speaker 1: that's now coming after faith and religions. Look at the View,
- 19:46Speaker 1: the View, and I want you to hear the cheers
- 19:48Speaker 1: in the audience. The View kicked off their International Women's
- 19:52Speaker 1: Day by attacking the Catholic Church for not having female priests. Now,
- 20:01Speaker 1: why would you do this, Because you're trying to undermine Catholicism.
- 20:04Speaker 1: You're trying to undermine the Catholic Church. You're demanding changes
- 20:07Speaker 1: in the name of wokeness. Welcome to the View. So
- 20:13Speaker 1: the View today is international Woman's Day and the Pope
- 20:22Speaker 1: you know, recently said equal opportunities for women are the
- 20:27Speaker 1: key to a better world. And yeah, well yeah, there
- 20:31Speaker 1: are the female priests. Listen, did I write this? This
- 20:36Speaker 1: is what he said. I'm only what stopped asking I
- 20:40Speaker 1: say it all right? He said it is will make
- 20:44Speaker 1: the world better. We already know that, but we're glad
- 20:47Speaker 1: that he's finally figured it out and now maybe there
- 20:51Speaker 1: will be maybe the female y. Yes, there, it is right,
- 20:57Speaker 1: how about them female priests. Let's totally go after an
- 21:01Speaker 1: entire religion. Senator Holly also asked the Attorney General Garland,
- 21:12Speaker 1: do you guys have like a biased against Catholics? Now?
- 21:17Speaker 1: He asks this a month ago, and listen to what
- 21:22Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, had to say. Wow, he
- 21:24Speaker 1: knows that he's on and he knows that they are
- 21:26Speaker 1: spying on you. Attorney General Garland, let me just ask you,
- 21:30Speaker 1: does your department have a problem with anti Catholic bias?
- 21:34Speaker 1: And our department as protects all religions and all ideologies,
- 21:43Speaker 1: it does not have any bias against any religion of
- 21:46Speaker 1: any kind. Well, you could have surprised me because given
- 21:49Speaker 1: the resources that you are expending and the apparently intelligence
- 21:55Speaker 1: assets that you are deploying against Catholics, it appears, and
- 22:00Speaker 1: the people of faith, while simultaneously turning a blind eye
- 22:03Speaker 1: while people are executed gang style in the streets of
- 22:06Speaker 1: our cities, including in my home state. Your answer, frankly
- 22:09Speaker 1: surprises me. Let's talk about the mark Out case, for example.
- 22:12Speaker 1: You've been asked about this already today, and frankly, your
- 22:14Speaker 1: answers really astound me. This is a case where a
- 22:19Speaker 1: Catholic pro life demonstrator father was accused of disorderly conduct
- 22:25Speaker 1: in front of an abortion center. The local prosecutor, the
- 22:29Speaker 1: Philadelphia district attorney, who is a Democrat, a liberal, very progressive,
- 22:34Speaker 1: declined to prosecute. There was a private suit that got dismissed.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And then after all of that, your Justice Department sent
- 22:42Speaker 1: between twenty and thirty armed agents in the early morning
- 22:47Speaker 1: hours to the how's private residence to arrest this guy
- 22:52Speaker 1: after he had offered to turn himself in voluntarily. Here's
- 22:56Speaker 1: the photo once again. You can see the long guns,
- 22:59Speaker 1: you can see the ballistic shields. You can see that
- 23:02Speaker 1: they're wearing bulletproof vests. Why did the Justice Department do this?
- 23:07Speaker 1: Why did you send twenty to thirty swat style agents
- 23:12Speaker 1: and a swat style team did this guy's house when
- 23:16Speaker 1: everybody else had declined to prosecute and he'd offered to
- 23:18Speaker 1: turn himself in. Determinations of how to make arrests under
- 23:23Speaker 1: arrest warrants are made based by the tactical operators in
- 23:28Speaker 1: the district. But you surely looked into it by this point,
- 23:32Speaker 1: right you know the answer? Surely? They All I know
- 23:37Speaker 1: is what the FBI has said, which is that they
- 23:40Speaker 1: made decisions on the ground as to what was safest
- 23:42Speaker 1: and easiest. So you do not agree with your description
- 23:46Speaker 1: of what happened on the site, you don't agree with
- 23:48Speaker 1: my description. I'm pointing out what the photo is. There
- 23:51Speaker 1: are agents here who have long guns and ballistic shields.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the hardened criminals that your
- 23:57Speaker 1: Justice Department sent these armed agents to go terrorize on
- 24:01Speaker 1: that morning. Here they are here, they are at mass
- 24:05Speaker 1: Here's the seven children with mister Howe and his wife
- 24:10Speaker 1: in this early morning. They were all at home. Missus
- 24:13Speaker 1: Howeck has said repeatedly the children were screaming, they feared
- 24:17Speaker 1: for their lives. You've got these agents demanding that he
- 24:20Speaker 1: come out. They've got the guns, she said, pointing at
- 24:22Speaker 1: the house and at them. He has offered to turn
- 24:26Speaker 1: himself in, And this is who you go to terrorize.
- 24:32Speaker 1: What's really interesting to me is this seems to directly
- 24:34Speaker 1: contradict your own memorandum about the use of force at
- 24:39Speaker 1: the Justice Department. You say officers may use only the
- 24:43Speaker 1: force that is objectively reasonable to effectively control an incident.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Are you telling me that, in your opinion as Attorney General,
- 24:52Speaker 1: it was objectively necessary to use twenty or thirty swat
- 24:56Speaker 1: style agents with long guns and ballistic shields for the
- 25:00Speaker 1: these people. What I'm saying is that decisions about how
- 25:02Speaker 1: to go about this were made on the ground by FBI.
- 25:05Speaker 1: A So you're saying you don't know. I'm saying what
- 25:09Speaker 1: I just said, which is that you're abdicating responsibility. I'm
- 25:12Speaker 1: not abdicating response. And give me the answer is do
- 25:14Speaker 1: you think in your opinion you are the Attorney General
- 25:17Speaker 1: of the United States, You are in charge of the
- 25:21Speaker 1: Justice Department, and yes, sir, you are responsible. So give
- 25:25Speaker 1: me an answer. The FBI does not agree with your
- 25:28Speaker 1: I'm not asking about the FBI. You are the attorney General.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Give me your answer. Do you think that it was
- 25:33Speaker 1: objectively reasonable and they followed your guidelines in sending twenty
- 25:38Speaker 1: to thirty armed agents to terrorize these people? Yes? Or no?
- 25:42Speaker 1: The facts I have, which are those presented by the FBI,
- 25:45Speaker 1: are not consistent with your description. So you think it
- 25:48Speaker 1: was reasonable? I'm saying the facts are not as you describe.
- 25:52Speaker 1: What that the children weren't there, That there wasn't that
- 25:54Speaker 1: there weren't long guns there, That there weren't agents, What
- 25:57Speaker 1: wasn't What do you dispute? What's the factual premise you
- 25:59Speaker 1: dispute said? They don't agree with your description of be specific.
- 26:04Speaker 1: They don't agree with what of how many agents of
- 26:07Speaker 1: the agents who were there, and of what their roles were?
- 26:09Speaker 1: They don't agree. Do you know the jury in this
- 26:11Speaker 1: case acquitted mister Howe. I'm sure you're aware. Do you
- 26:15Speaker 1: know how long it took him? I am aware and
- 26:17Speaker 1: we respect the decision of the jury. Do you know
- 26:19Speaker 1: how long it took him? I don't know. One hour?
- 26:23Speaker 1: One hour. Philadelphia District Attorney declines to prosecute the private
- 26:27Speaker 1: suits dismissed. You use an unbelievable show of force with
- 26:31Speaker 1: guns that I just note. Liberals usually to cry, we're
- 26:34Speaker 1: supposed to hate long guns and assault style weapons. You're
- 26:37Speaker 1: happy to deploy them against Catholics and innocent children, happy
- 26:40Speaker 1: to and then you haul him into court and a
- 26:42Speaker 1: jury acquits him in one hour. I just suggest to
- 26:47Speaker 1: you that that is a disgraceful performance by your Justice
- 26:51Speaker 1: Department and a disgraceful use of resources. Senator Holly. There
- 26:57Speaker 1: and the reason I want to play that to you
- 26:58Speaker 1: to understand how quickly this can happen to you. You
- 27:02Speaker 1: can ruin someone's life in two seconds. You can ruin
- 27:06Speaker 1: someone's life in a moment because you don't like a
- 27:10Speaker 1: Catholic individual. You don't like an individual that's setting up
- 27:14Speaker 1: for the rights of unborn children. You don't like a
- 27:17Speaker 1: pastor on the street praying for people that were about
- 27:21Speaker 1: to have an abortion. You don't like traditional families. And
- 27:25Speaker 1: so now what they have done has said to the
- 27:28Speaker 1: Catholic leadership, Hey, guys, you want to be an fon format.
- 27:33Speaker 1: You want to tell us about moms and dads that
- 27:36Speaker 1: have traditional values, or maybe you know, go out there
- 27:39Speaker 1: and protest it abortion centers that could be radicalized if
- 27:47Speaker 1: you take all this away, strip it all back, and
- 27:49Speaker 1: you look at what they're saying here. They're saying, Hey,
- 27:52Speaker 1: we need you to spy on Conservatives, We need you
- 27:56Speaker 1: to spy on Christians, we need you to spy on
- 28:00Speaker 1: people that have traditional Christian values. That's what we need
- 28:08Speaker 1: you to do. And apparently they're happy to do it.
- 28:13Speaker 1: They have no problem doing it. The FBI will find
- 28:17Speaker 1: somebody that gets excited about being an FBI informant. This
- 28:28Speaker 1: is when you know that you've lost your government. We
- 28:32Speaker 1: are no longer dealing with Democrats. We are dealing with communism.
- 28:37Speaker 1: We are dealing with communists. We're dealing with Communists that
- 28:41Speaker 1: are masquerading as Democrats, who are spying on you in churches,
- 28:48Speaker 1: who are calling your traditional values domestic terrorism, who are
- 28:52Speaker 1: putting you on FBI watch lists because you're standing up
- 28:56Speaker 1: for what you believe in as a Christian, as a
- 29:00Speaker 1: traditional Catholics, as as a man or a woman in
- 29:05Speaker 1: the Jewish faith, whatever it may be. And I promise
- 29:08Speaker 1: you this is not the only congregation they've targeted. If
- 29:13Speaker 1: they would have targeted by the way Muslims, for example,
- 29:15Speaker 1: with this, can you imagine the outcry from the left, oho,
- 29:20Speaker 1: how dare you racially profile Muslims? Can you imagine. We've
- 29:26Speaker 1: seen some of this after nine to eleven, and what
- 29:29Speaker 1: did the woke liberals do? They lost their minds. But
- 29:33Speaker 1: now they're doing it to Catholics, and what's the left?
- 29:35Speaker 1: They're totally silence. They're not coming out denouncing this. You've
- 29:38Speaker 1: seen Anti Pelosi, who's a Catholic, coming out denouncing this.
- 29:41Speaker 1: You see Joe Biden coming out denouncing this. No, why
- 29:44Speaker 1: would we do that. We're not saying Jack krap because
- 29:48Speaker 1: now we get to spy on you in church. Please
- 29:52Speaker 1: share this podcast. It's an important podcast to share. Share
- 29:56Speaker 1: it right. It's a five star review, so this will
- 29:59Speaker 1: reach more people. We'll see you back here tomorrow
