00:00:00.000
this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:09.780
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:16.360
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:20.120
in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:23.720
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:31.540
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:39.460
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bannett
00:00:46.800
and the guy who got a pardon from trump who ran his 2016 campaign and they've been on and off too
00:00:57.800
but steve bannon also in a sign that this seems to be somewhat orchestrated went publicly after murdoch
00:01:04.620
to back trump okay murdoch here's the way it's going to be brother you've disrespected
00:01:12.540
donald j trump long enough he hasn't been on fox news since he announced for presidency remember
00:01:20.240
murdoch you've deemed trump's not going to be president well we've deemed that you're not
00:01:27.140
going to have a network because we're going to fight you every step of the way
0.95
00:01:29.940
the murdochs immediately have to start covering president trump
0.91
00:01:37.880
pretty striking to see this all spill out there i mean you could have skipped some of cpac but those
00:01:44.780
moments right there we wanted to show you because it's all out in the open on the one hand it shows
00:01:49.400
the stakes of this thing and that this really is a channel to the republican primary base at a time
00:01:54.400
where fox is under pressure to change while it's being exposed for being even worse than people
00:01:58.760
thought on the other hand the question i'm about to take to my next guest is how weak of a former
00:02:04.620
presidential campaign are you the former president running when your top people are out here publicly
00:02:11.100
begging for one interview on fox news josh marshall joins me founder and editor of talking points memo
00:02:19.400
and a shrewd analyst i i put that question and all the above to you sir you know the the one thing
00:02:26.860
that occurs to me is you know we're all familiar with the hbo show succession which is a romanic
00:02:33.080
laugh about the murdoch family and fox news and so forth and so many of the things that you've been
00:02:39.080
talking about over the last few minutes each each few of them is like an episode of succession the you
00:02:47.520
know the the zoom call uh the banning back and forth it's like these two old men i mean rupert
00:02:54.240
murdoch is i think over 90 he's he's quite old but but you're 91 uh you know just just the the the back
00:03:00.980
and forth and and you know one thing that comes out is this is what happens when you're a corrupt news
00:03:07.260
organization right there are one of the benefits of being a real news organization is that you you
00:03:13.940
keep basically on track by needing to cover the news right you're you're you're not you're not in
00:03:20.020
in fights with the uh uh presidential candidate who you run or runs you or something like that or
00:03:28.280
trying to get you know all this kind of stuff uh there's as you said earlier there are lots of
00:03:34.340
problems with uh you know the big uh corporate news organizations but this this is something that
00:03:41.420
generally keeps them on track is that you you you always know that you are supposed to report at least
00:03:48.240
what you think is the truth at the moment right and that can change you can be wrong no one's perfect
00:03:53.720
um but that's that's that's the that's the big thing that that jumps out to me one thing i want
00:03:59.060
to mention it you know this has been as you mentioned murdoch has been back and forth on trump for a
00:04:06.600
while they started off at the very beginning back in 2015 treating him as a joke he kind of went to war
00:04:13.820
with with fox fox did with him but as soon as trump was the guy they got on board and i don't think
00:04:21.440
there's any question that is what is going to happen again and you know another another part of
00:04:28.740
this you have build on your point and then you finish that's why we're seeing this so early because
00:04:34.480
they know they either stop trump in this primary early or a former president who's also donald trump
00:04:43.040
becomes the nominee and then they're stuck with him in the general and they're stuck with what
00:04:47.060
everyone would gird to be a january 6 sequel with more training and i'm not trying to be alarmist but
00:04:53.460
but rupert murdoch is not dumb and he understands exactly what they're up against so we're flushing
00:04:59.600
out earlier a fight that might have normally come later um so that builds on i think the point you
00:05:05.060
were making i'll let you let you continue well and to that point they know that if he's the guy
00:05:12.660
if he's the nominee they will have to not only support him but lie on his behalf right this is
00:05:19.640
again an issue you don't have to you don't have to grapple with if you're not a a corrupt uh news
00:05:26.400
organization but what i was going to mention before is you know at just after um uh well a while after
00:05:33.640
january 6th when fox was sort of going back and forth are we gonna are we gonna call arizona for him
00:05:40.260
are we gonna support the big lie or not for a while he was sort of shadow banning them
00:05:46.520
you know and there's all these different uh you know there's oann there i there's there's a half a
00:05:53.500
dozen of them now newsmax there's all these other kind of fox clones and for a while he was like hey i'm
00:06:00.400
gonna get behind one of these and i'm gonna take you guys out because you haven't been sufficiently
00:06:05.360
loyal uh and and so so this this this this battle that is that is you know based on the corruption
00:06:13.560
of both of them is it's it's really quite a a melodrama it really you know it's it's better than
00:06:23.360
succession in a way and in some ways it's funnier if and if it weren't real oh yeah i was gonna say
00:06:28.620
i'd say better and and so much worse uh but i know what you mean uh thanks say as the 2024
00:06:36.020
republican primary chugs along i.e the hunger games no one seems to be willing to properly take on the
00:06:41.420
field's biggest challenge donald trump nikki haley didn't even mention him by name at cpac but she was
00:06:47.180
still heckled by attendees chanting trump after leaving the stage ronda santis didn't even go to cpac
0.97
00:06:53.280
choosing to give a speech at the ronald reagan presidential library on the other side of the
00:06:58.480
state of the other side of the country and trump is still dominating in the polls a recent you gov online
00:07:03.680
poll has trump at 45 percent de santis at 29 percent haley is a distant third at four percent
0.97
00:07:11.000
fernando amandi is a veteran democratic strategist and pollster based in miami carlos corbello is a
00:07:17.200
former republican congressman of florida they both join me now fernando i will start with you
00:07:22.620
i am not a believer in ron de santis i don't think that he has much of a chance i think that
00:07:29.280
he is a media creation i think that that basically donald trump is going to clown him to no end and i
00:07:35.160
think that what he has done in florida is not going to be particularly uh popular when he tries to sell
00:07:40.180
it to the rest of the country but what say you as a pollster to the fact that he's the only person
00:07:45.860
in the republican field right now that's within 20 points of donald trump and the unofficial
00:07:52.340
straw poll at cpac okay well i think jason it speaks to the fact that seven march in the year
00:08:00.660
of allure 2023 um we're gonna get i mean my teams need to cut the part where he johnson gets to cuts
00:08:07.400
to the chase about the conundrum that all of the keebler elves and ronda santis are in uh which is
00:08:14.400
quite a conundrum um there you see the um the the fight that matters right now i'm gonna give you
00:08:21.080
signal not noise is to break the access of the uh oligarch wall street oligarchs the paul singers
00:08:29.160
the um uh steve schwartzman's the ken griffins the tudor jones all these massive the guys that can
00:08:38.080
write you a 50 million dollar check or 100 million dollar check and it doesn't change their lifestyle
00:08:42.180
i'm talking about the biggest of the big the murderer's row of the wall street oligarchs
00:08:47.540
that are in business with uh mitch mcconnell in the collaborationist senate and this is why by the
00:08:56.420
way i tell you much they're in business with that they're they're darling their go-to girl is chris
00:09:01.400
is cinema because she stopped uh the carried interest tax which we have to have and the carried
0.95
00:09:08.240
interest tax is smart because that's just an income we need to get to the for the
00:09:12.040
oligarchs the um repatriation of the assets that the federal reserve has uh has basically given to
00:09:20.780
them we'll get to more of that later and deconstruct it but that that is so you get the
00:09:25.080
oligarchs you've got the mitch mcconnell set of those collaboration as senators that gave biden all
0.70
00:09:31.100
the wins plus that donors and most importantly the linchpin is murdoch who has essentially said
00:09:36.780
i mean it's in the deposition they said we're going to turn trump into a non-person that's a quote
00:09:41.340
we are going to turn trump into a non-person okay uh and we have to break that and we know that the
00:09:47.760
speech at cpac and by the way thank president trump just put some very kind words about that it's up on
00:09:52.840
my getter on his truth social uh about the speech and i think a link to it um right there and jason
00:10:01.400
johnson who's a very smart guy he's a professor that sits in he's a contributor to uh by the way hates
00:10:07.320
war room hates me hates all of it doesn't make doesn't mean he doesn't he's not quite perceptive
00:10:12.520
uh he lays out the case about the conundrum of the kibble elves and desantis in this primary
00:10:20.480
remember the iron triangle of murdoch and mcconnell and ken griffin is that um they will use any weapon
00:10:31.260
at hand any instrument at hand before them whether it's glenn youngkin or ron desantis or nikki haley
00:10:36.900
they will use any of the weapons before them to uh hopefully they think take a long shot and beat
00:10:42.920
trump in a primary but if not doing that to damage him and then to support uh a newsom or a biden or
00:10:49.540
whoever in the general murdoch and fox 16 let me be blunt they tried to kneecap trump with megan
00:10:56.080
kelly at the first debate okay and breitbart we backed him off with the great matt boyle and uh
00:11:00.520
tony lee we backed him off they were never that far in our camp trust me even when the numbers close
00:11:06.080
murdoch was never they were always jiggy about that and after billy bush they completely flipped
00:11:10.820
and the weekend before they told us they told me to my you know they also told me to my face they'd
00:11:16.320
already done the polling murdoch made a decision there was gonna be hillary clinton there's gonna be
00:11:19.560
foreign electoral votes this is gonna be a landslide we were down by five or six it was over
00:11:23.220
okay and that's why paul ryan well that's one of the reasons paul ryan didn't come
00:11:27.920
he wasn't there on that sunday beforehand he called us up and he says hey you're gonna lose
00:11:31.780
wisconsin you're gonna lose again i can't be associated i already lost with romney i can't
00:11:35.600
be associated with another national campaign loser and they backed out they didn't never had trump's
00:11:39.720
back ever murdoch tweeted out in uh in uh in the summer of 15 i think it was july quote uh trump stop
00:11:48.120
you're embarrassing yourself and the country murdoch's always said only after we won and he was
00:11:52.720
rubbing up on jared uh those two rubbed up on each other that uh there was any kind of
00:11:58.460
rapprochement and then as soon as as soon as 3 november they called it early boom they were out
00:12:03.840
on trump you can read the depositions they never once said let's have an investigative reporter let's
00:12:08.980
look at this math have we done our own analysis have we drilled have we drilled down and looked at
00:12:13.920
this independently brought in a new team to look at like a team b to look with new eyes no no no effort
00:12:18.840
whatsoever and then they said we're going to make this we're going to make trump a non-person well
00:12:24.800
guess what we're making you a non-person we're not gonna have a bunch of foreigners uh and a bunch of
0.99
00:12:29.400
foreigners uh you know intrude into america you've also you already done enough damage with iraq and
0.99
00:12:35.480
afghanistan your cheerleading for the iraq war was was outrageous you're you're selling the lie and you
0.66
00:12:42.140
talk about the election stealing uh you know oh we can't push that you know we can't uh you know trump's
00:12:47.440
terrible all these people are awful we're not gonna have them back on terrible there's just
00:12:50.880
terrible think about you never went and never did anything on the weapons of mass destruction lie
00:12:55.560
that cheney sold the nation it was outrageous they're neoliberal neocons you have to understand
00:13:00.080
there's a construct of the way the world operates its capital markets and its national security that's
00:13:06.140
what's converging and conflating this crisis this collapse the the murdochs have that they're they're
0.94
00:13:11.620
at the center of that their global media empire is at the center of that of the neoliberal
00:13:15.860
neocon world order and that is what is collapsing before you you're the only ones that can keep it
00:13:21.560
going because they need your taxes they need your pension funds they need the insurance companies
00:13:25.240
that have your money and most importantly need your sons and daughters to go die on foreign battlefields
00:13:30.880
on wars that are forgotten afterwards and have no victory that that's the tragedy for you know when
00:13:36.260
mo was over in iraq you sit there every day you have no control it's all in god's hands we're sitting
00:13:39.880
there what is this all for what am i doing is this is this the is this for the iraqis to have
00:13:44.760
democracy so that a couple of years later they can sit there and go you know what we're gonna we're
00:13:48.880
gonna sell the oil to the chinese communist party we're gonna have a huge output deal and guess what
00:13:52.720
we're gonna convert it we're gonna only take it in in a chinese yuan you're not gonna convert into
00:13:57.340
dollars to break the petrodollar that that's the reality of the world now we're gonna take a break
00:14:03.500
we're gonna get up to great tucker did an amazing job last night uh bd's gonna be here but
00:14:07.960
you know and hey i gotta tell it like it is you know hannity last night gives another softball
00:14:14.460
hoochie coochie you know t-ball interview to uh to ron de santis and then plays trump's
00:14:20.240
you know radio interview after that is like a big deal trying to trying to accommodate that's not
00:14:24.980
accommodating this is not about hannity or any individual uh personality this is about the murdochs
00:14:32.080
and their ownership and this about the murdochs and what they because they commanded they write the
00:14:35.480
paychecks they command what happens this is about the murdochs trying to make trump a non-person and
0.82
00:14:40.540
going to work for the democrats after they don't take him out in the primary this is the signal not
00:14:45.900
the noise it's the thing that matters right now keep the main thing the main thing okay sure
00:14:50.640
commercial break from revolver news darren b has been on this last night j6 the lies and
00:14:56.260
misrepresentations tucker carlson later buy gold and get a free safe to store it in that's right on

00:16:10.640
again text bannon to 989898 is there seems to be a fundamental bind that republicans running in 2024
00:16:21.440
are going to face they have to say one way or another how they stand on the legitimacy of the
00:16:27.560
2020 election if you come forward and say the 2020 election is legitimate and joe biden got elected you
00:16:33.400
automatically lose the maga crowd if you come forward and say the 2020 election was not legitimate then
00:16:38.960
you're acknowledging that donald trump should have been president so how do you justify running against
00:16:42.780
the guy how are republicans how is nikki haley desantis or anybody else how are they going to run
00:16:48.660
and answer that question well jason i think the issue is the point you brought up at the beginning
00:16:55.460
of the segment let me have it okay uh that's professor jason johnson he's a contributor at msnbc very
00:17:02.260
brilliant guy i think he's professor at morgan state um he just nailed that he's just nailed in 60
00:17:11.260
seconds the conundrum of the keyboard elves and ron desantis in um a the republican primary right there
00:17:18.940
i'm gonna play that a gazillion times over the next couple of months i want to bring in darren beady we
00:17:23.920
got a lot to go through got some tucker stuff again but darren i want to ask you first um about this
00:17:29.800
murdoch situation right because this is we got to get this sorted right now because you have the iron
00:17:34.480
triangle of the big oligarchs on wall street the mitch mcconnell donor you know who most of the
00:17:40.360
oligarchs but these these um collaborationist senators plus the murdoch apparatus with the
0.81
00:17:47.160
murdochs and i'm not picking on any individual people at fox because murdoch runs this with an iron fist
00:17:53.460
uh darren beady look i think it's important to understand the significance of honest signals
00:18:02.020
in politics that means when it's down to the wire when it really matters who has who's back and you
00:18:09.760
brought it up 2016 people forget so easily 2016 fox along with the entire institutional apparatus of
00:18:21.160
the gop was vigorously opposed to trump and did everything it could to stop and was only after
00:18:29.240
against all odds against the coordinated opposition of every powerful institution in the country
00:18:36.100
if not the world that trump won that all of these people who did everything they could
00:18:41.960
to stop him ingratiated themselves and to some degree this worked and people forgot
00:18:50.320
what their true colors really were when it mattered and you're seeing this just come to the fore
00:18:58.040
yet once again people like paul ryan people like mitch mcconnell people like the murdochs the whole
00:19:05.040
institutional apparatus at fox of course they're opposed to trump they've always been opposed to
00:19:10.920
trump it's just now in their estimation they don't have to kiss up to him they would rather put him down
00:19:18.340
for good politically and they think they can do that by weaponizing people like you know potentially
00:19:24.680
desantis against him and putting out a blackout on trump's media appearance and fox and that's
00:19:31.480
another big difference is trump benefited tremendously as you know from earned media in 2016 there is a
00:19:38.760
coordinated consensus across the board they will not make that mistake again the media will do
00:19:44.340
everything it can to black out trump give him a blacklist from the media which frankly is all the more
00:19:50.040
reason that i think he needs to get back on twitter it's the one thing you know one of the few things
00:19:55.300
he has going for him in terms of media distribution is he has his powerful twitter account reinstated and
00:20:01.000
the rest of the media is blacking him out as much as they can on behalf of these special interests he
00:20:05.820
needs to get the word out because when he does the public's reminded why he's the only guy for the job
00:20:11.780
and he reminded that us of that very powerfully in his tremendous cpac speech
00:20:16.600
i took an hour yesterday and i would play part of my play my speech but i also went through the
00:20:23.900
just the policy points i think i only got through six i mean that that thing and i tell the team over
00:20:28.180
there you gotta i think we gotta highlight those there's 10 major policy announcements that speech
00:20:33.820
that nobody else could do remember it's not just trump it's this audience it's trumpism it's populist
00:20:39.060
nationalists they want that to stop these are neoliberal neocons that is that they are they
00:20:44.280
are the washington generals to the democrats harlem globetrotters in this this is why it's taken us
00:20:50.880
40 years to get here because it's always about unity and compromise and you can see that's where the
00:20:55.120
biden would have no accomplishments it was not for the collaboration the senate and now you get
00:20:59.740
mitch mccann saying his number one priority is ukraine and and making sure that biden gets all these
00:21:04.140
spending deals done and you're going to see this on the debt ceiling everything that the populist
00:21:08.380
nationalist movement is adamantly opposed to therefore and remember conservative inc you see
00:21:14.180
i'm rolling in now and de santis and rubbing up on him and look mark halperin's got a piece up on
00:21:18.980
newsmax uh and we're going to hopefully maybe get mark on here in the next couple of days he's still a
00:21:23.940
brilliant a very brilliant uh political analyst he deconstructs the the the he deconstructs the
00:21:29.940
uh reagan library speech and i'll be brutally frank it was a nothing burger when governor de
00:21:35.900
santis is out there and you're you've got the chinese dropping war work they're sounding the
0.98
00:21:40.100
war toxins you're in 1939 heading towards the um heading towards the uh third world war you want
0.64
00:21:47.440
to be president united states versus you're running against a guy who gave us four years of peace and
00:21:51.240
prosperity and you're at the reagan library you got to stand and deliver you got to talk about the
00:21:56.480
collapse of the neoliberal neocon order you've got to i know it's uncomfortable because you still are
00:22:00.780
a neoliberal neocon and i hate to be so brutally frank but you can tell that on these wishy-washy
00:22:05.560
answers on ukraine when you're sitting there you can't play you can't play small ball you can't play
00:22:10.720
yeah gavin newsom in florida in the california model versus the florida model i got that that's
00:22:15.820
important i can see that but at the reagan library historic place and first off it's just it was a it
00:22:22.940
was a lackluster speech compare the policy prescriptions and that look i get the woke stuff
00:22:28.320
and all that we're one of the biggest supporters that we have all the parents rights movements on
00:22:31.280
here i understand support and go against the corporations and i think governor santa has been
00:22:34.920
a terrific governor but you ain't running for governor of america you're running to be commander
00:22:40.200
in chief in a time of war you got to step it up and and you're a warrior you you you've been in those
00:22:44.660
places look and i i keep saying i don't want this inner squad i don't want the murdochs to have an
0.89
00:22:49.840
inner squad conflict here that damages i think ron de santis be a great secretary defense
00:22:54.780
for president trump and i think that would position ron de santis to be one of the leading
00:22:59.260
candidates in 2028 which is the rightful time we need we are in the early days of the kinetic part
00:23:06.120
of the third world war and we we don't have time for on-the-job training and we can't how would you
00:23:10.580
not and this one ticks me off so much about the murdochs why would you not have a guy on here that
0.99
00:23:15.040
you haven't had on live until we forced you at cpac because you weren't going to do that why would
00:23:20.020
you have an entity playing his interview that's so cheeseball you do an interview on the radio show and
00:23:24.540
you play it up as some big exclusion on fox that's not good enough okay that's not good enough not
00:23:29.000
good enough why would you not why would they not respect the audience to have a guy's opinion let's
00:23:33.260
hear what he has to say he gave us four years of peace and prosperity against these same barbarians
1.00
00:23:38.340
why don't we wouldn't you like to hear what he would want to do with the ayatollahs and the
00:23:42.280
nuclear weapon wouldn't you want to hear what he'd do with erdogan wouldn't you want to hear what he'd
00:23:45.480
do with the kgb the kgb ccp merger the last 24 hours ladies and gentlemen look at the look at
00:23:50.980
the drudge mac daddy i've been posting them up on getter drudge has got it i mean the ccp is
00:23:55.780
throwing down hard they're selling the war toxins they say hey we see the containment strategy trump
00:23:59.720
set up uh you guys keep on you're gonna have a problem okay they're in your face they're in
00:24:04.760
a couple a couple points steve a couple points so you mentioned this is about trumpism this is about
00:24:12.280
the movement it's not about trump himself i'll offer an addendum to that i i think fundamentally
00:24:18.620
that's true but there's a crucial addendum and that is this that the moniker of trumpism after
00:24:26.240
trump trumpism without trump is the false song to use a phrase that the establishment is using to
00:24:35.760
neutralize and destroy both trumpism and trump the false song of trumpism after trump is what the
00:24:44.180
establishment is using to destroy both trumpism as trump because right now trump is the leader
00:24:52.360
of this movement trump is the once in a generation charismatic figure hold it yes give me give me
00:25:01.480
that again give me that again go slowly for me because hey everybody knows bd's my guy he's one
00:25:06.220
of the most brilliant theoreticians we got in this entire movement he was a genius in the white house he's
00:25:10.840
the most only guy had enough balls of a tenured professor or a guy at a major you know ivy league
00:25:16.440
or ivy league equivalent to to support trump and then he got you know they came after him because
00:25:22.000
he's so smart hit the rewind button and give me that whole thing again the addendum well very simple
00:25:28.380
it's ultimately about the movement it's ultimately about trumpism but this moniker that you hear of
00:25:36.320
trumpism without trump we want trumpism but not trump we want to move beyond trump that is the false song
00:25:45.680
with which the establishment is trying to kill both trumpism and trump the moniker of trumpism without
00:25:54.200
trump is the establishment's way of destroying both trump and trumpism and that's very important to
00:26:03.020
understand at the moment you cannot separate the unique charismatic talent of trump a generational
00:26:11.920
talent you don't see anywhere from the movement it's not enough anybody can get in front of camera
00:26:19.920
and read the script of talking points that are now revealed thanks to trump's success to be successful
00:26:27.560
and resonant with the public anyone can read a script and not anyone can govern competently
00:26:34.720
but competent governance is still a very different thing and a very far cry from being a once in a
00:26:42.540
generation charismatic political figure who started and still leads the most important political movement
00:26:50.360
in our nation's history and i think people need to understand that crucial distinction that is why the
00:26:59.000
establishment is doing everything it can to promote not they're not never trump anymore they understand
00:27:06.320
that's not going to work it never worked now they are for trumpism without trump because they know that
00:27:13.720
trumpism without trump right now means the end of both trump and trumpism
00:27:19.360
they they yes because they're harsh they don't it's a brilliant point they don't really mean
00:27:26.020
anti-trumpism okay we're gonna take a break bd's gonna be here and get into the tucker revelations
00:27:30.400
last night which i thought tucker did an extraordinary job given the political sensitivity of it and the way
00:27:35.900
you have to you have to juggle a lot of balls i thought he did a really excellent job in in in providing
00:27:41.700
the visuals with commentary uh and i know he did a good job because morning joe wasn't all over
00:27:48.600
if they thought they saw an opening here they'd be all over it they didn't want to talk about it
00:27:52.800
it's like it didn't happen um bd also says reading a script these guys gotta throw away the scripts
00:28:00.920
mickey haley reading mike pompeo reading ron de santis throw it away it's got to come from the heart

00:29:31.560
takeaway from the corpus of footage that we spent three weeks looking at it's that the january 6th
00:29:37.040
committee lied its members are liars and as the result of those lies course of liberties in this
00:29:44.620
country were eroded people went to prison they're in prison as of right now unjustly so those lies
00:29:50.800
had consequences so you have to ask yourself whatever happened to the members of the january 6th
00:29:55.200
committee these liars who hurt people and the country well let's see adam schiff is running for
00:30:01.280
adam kinziger got a job at cnn liz cheney somehow wound up a professor at the university of virginia
0.82
00:30:07.420
the august university of virginia they're all still there benny thompson oh listen to his wisdom but
00:30:16.140
they're liars and above all this video proves it here's another installment one of the enduring
00:30:26.480
mysteries of january 6th is the role that intelligence and law enforcement agencies played
00:30:31.840
in the events of that day we know there was some number of undercover federal agents in the crowd
00:30:37.320
at the capitol officials have since admitted that under oath but what exactly were they doing then
00:30:42.380
the january 6th committee worked hard to hide the answer to that question we do know from
00:30:47.220
contemporaneous videotape that a mysterious figure called ray epps encouraged the crowd to go into the
00:30:53.160
capitol for some reason epps has never been indicted for that but there's no question he did it we need
00:30:59.100
to go into the capitol under public pressure the january 6th committee finally interviewed ray epps
00:31:05.360
epps told the committee that he never entered the capitol and therefore never committed a crime
00:31:10.600
his text messages showed that at 2 12 p.m he boasted to his nephew that he had quote orchestrated the
00:31:17.740
protest at the capitol he admitted he helped get people there yet curiously congressional democrats
00:31:24.240
consider ray epps an ally not an insurrectionist tonight we can tell you that at the very least
00:31:30.440
ray epps lied in his sworn testimony to the january 6th committee epps testified that when he sent the
00:31:36.760
text messages to his nephew he had already left the capitol grounds to return to his hotel room
00:31:42.180
that is not true the surveillance footage we found shows that in fact ray epps remained at the
00:31:49.140
capitol for at least another half an hour you're seeing that on your screen now what was epps doing
00:31:54.800
there we can't say but we do know that he lied to investigators the january 6th committee likely knew
00:32:01.340
this too democrats had access to the same tape yet they defended ray epps no honest investigation would do
00:32:09.180
that but the point of the january 6th committee was never to investigate anything the point was to
00:32:14.960
stage a made for tv show trial from the opening moments the tone of the hearings was almost comically
00:32:21.220
overheated and polemical there was not a tragedy in american history that democrats didn't liken to the
00:32:26.800
protests of january 6th i'm from a part of the country where people justify the actions of slavery
00:32:33.980
the ku klux klan and lynching how staged and fraudulent was the work of the january 6th committee
00:32:40.920
democrats hired a good morning america producer called james goldston to dramatize the footage they
00:32:47.080
released they even dubbed in audio to make the pictures more sensational as in a docudrama
00:32:52.360
the networks carried it all live as if it were real lied about the police officer they claimed to revere
00:32:58.720
if they were willing to do that then their dishonesty knew no limits
00:33:03.380
and as you'll see in a moment that dishonesty did know no limits new surveillance video and just
00:33:11.640
admitted including new reporting on ray epps and what he was doing there and what he told investigators
00:33:16.900
he was doing there and how it's contradicted by the video evidence but first to assess what we just
00:33:21.680
saw charlie hurt of the washington times joins us now charlie thanks so much for coming up so if you
00:33:26.600
think and and you you you know you've really got to feel uh for brian sick dick who's passed away
00:33:32.800
um and you've got to wonder about anyone who would who who knew they knew that he was not murdered by
00:33:40.500
the mob but they've claimed it anyway for two years and it takes a very low kind of person to do that
00:33:47.540
to lie about a man's death like that for political advantage and this tapes this tape proves that's
00:33:52.760
exactly what they did no these people are truly sick uh they're they're uh you know you think you
00:33:58.380
you know you think you know how sick they are and then you see something like this and you realize
00:34:02.100
that they're uh there is truly nothing nobody uh no event nothing that they won't exploit as as joe
00:34:09.280
biden said oh no this is also about white supremacy and and you know nobody uh did you know nobody uh
00:34:15.960
comported themselves worse than the press did on this day and of course in the years afterwards
00:34:20.400
um and and okay i want to bring in i want to bring in uh darren beady of the uh of revolver
00:34:26.440
darren you've been all over the whole thing and you've been on tucker many times i know you've
00:34:30.860
worked with this team and i think they did a great job of threading the needle because they couldn't
00:34:35.220
use the facial recognition because as he said he's not an investigative um like doj he's not fbi he's
00:34:42.280
not j6 but i think what people are most shocked about is you and we didn't even get to this shot the
00:34:47.940
q anon shaman which is probably the most egregious um how did the committee have i mean this is
00:34:53.900
clearly illegal what they've done it's it's outrageous you got the fed's direction part
00:34:58.520
with the ray epps you got the lies on syknick which you were the one that really went back a
00:35:02.720
revolver and painstakingly told us that this was all a lie you got the q anon i mean it was so
00:35:08.380
outrageous it was so outrageous last night uh tell me your thoughts
00:35:12.980
well yes uh so much to cover i mean the footage of brian sicknick walking around the capitol just
00:35:21.620
reminds us before revolver news even changed the entire narrative on january 6th with our fed's
00:35:29.340
erection thesis and reporting we debunked repeated and severe and malicious lies pertaining to the
00:35:37.440
circumstances surrounding officer sicknick's death as tucker covered a bit in that segment
00:35:43.120
initially their story was he was bludgeoned to death with a fire uh extinguisher that was wrong
00:35:50.880
then they switched to a narrative where he was killed with by bear spray we actually did a heat map
00:35:56.960
image analysis comparative image analysis showed that hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it hold
00:36:01.980
darren darren darren darren darren please they're not wrong these were lies they had this footage
00:36:08.220
that's my point it's not it's not people make mistakes in reporting all the time this was done
00:36:13.400
on purpose they knew from the entire time they put that story out and and tucker had everybody on
00:36:18.640
there saying he's bludgeoned to death then they went to bear spray they knew it was a lie at the time
00:36:25.240
sir you agree yes well i mean not everyone who repeated the lie but the originators
00:36:31.960
of this false narrative i think knew it was a lie i think that's pretty clear because the evidence was
00:36:37.720
so so apparent all you had to do is a little bit of digging to see that the it was not bludgeoned to
00:36:45.040
death he was not uh you know killed by bear spray and so forth but this was these initial lies again this
00:36:52.780
was the prelude to the larger fed's erection these initial lies were used to amplify the severity our
00:36:59.320
original and first piece on january 6th was actually about the lies surrounding brian sicknick's death
00:37:04.920
the title of the piece was very carefully chosen with a full understanding of its severity and
00:37:11.200
connotations we called it maga blood libel because that's exactly what it was because the death of
00:37:17.760
sicknick was used to call it a deadly insurrection to reinforce the false narrative that this was a deadly
00:37:25.860
domestic terror attack that put january 6th in the same conversation absurdly as september 11th or you
00:37:35.820
know whatever you know kamala harris said it was like you know pearl harbor all these ridiculous things
0.80
00:37:41.560
but they needed the adjective deadly to even have a chance of selling that with a straight face and
00:37:48.680
they got that by lying about the circumstances surrounding sicknick's death the thing about epps
00:37:54.760
you know tucker's absolutely right the january 6th committee they were completely disingenuous
00:38:00.560
with respect to epps and nowhere does that come out more clearly than in the transcript of their
00:38:05.740
interrogation of epps himself so i pointed out and uh another appearance on this program what's
00:38:12.440
remarkable in this transcript is how some of the committee members to their credit are actually asking
00:38:18.400
intelligent questions adam kinsinger however he bends over backwards which is weird because he's
00:38:26.560
usually on all fours but this time he's bending over backwards to offer the most implausibly charitable
00:38:33.980
interpretation of inconsistency after inconsistency after lie on the part of ray epps ray epps is so
00:38:43.420
detached from reality he has such contempt for the truth that he said initially the reason i thought
00:38:50.400
to go into the capital was i thought it would be legal i thought it would just be open and we can go
00:38:55.540
in and they said well if you thought it would be legal why did you preface your remarks by saying
00:38:59.780
i'm probably going to go to jail for this i'm probably going to get arrested for this he said
00:39:04.200
well gee i don't know they said why do you think everybody immediately accused you of being a fed
00:39:09.800
because of your outlandish suggestions to go in the capital he said i don't think that really happened
00:39:15.080
my son doesn't remember that happening he even suggested that the footage the now iconic footage
00:39:21.940
of the crowd chanting fed and pointing right at ray epps he suggested that footage isn't real that it was
00:39:28.880
doctored that it was somehow edited in after the fact the transcript of this interrogation of ray
00:39:36.620
ray epps by the committee is really something to behold and there's one more thing to be said about
00:39:41.000
the committee and particular is chairman benny thompson it's often overlooked that benny thompson was not
00:39:47.480
only the chair of the january 6 committee he was the department of homeland security's stooge
00:39:53.840
within congress he was a seven-time chair of the homeland security committee why would the department
00:40:00.680
of homeland security of all institutions of all bureaucracies have this active interest in massaging
00:40:09.300
the narrative of january 6th i think it's very interesting to consider in light of a couple of things
00:40:14.860
one the dhs is the tip of the spear when it comes to the repurposing of the national security apparatus
00:40:22.420
domestically in order to silence suppress and destroy trump and his movement and secondly as we
00:40:29.920
recently learned the department of homeland security is the only bureaucracy with an intelligence agency
00:40:37.400
that has the imprimatur to operate domestically you know the cia is an intelligence agency technically
00:40:44.780
speaking they're only allowed to operate overseas technically speaking the fbi while it does do some
00:40:51.820
kind of work gathering information that you could call intelligence is a law enforcement agency and
00:40:57.860
therefore it's subject to the restrictions that are attendant to the law enforcement process the dhs is
00:41:05.460
the only organization that has this domestic intelligence agency which is very interesting to consider
00:41:12.340
in light of a statement made by ray epps's lawyer ray epps's lawyer who happens to be a nine-year veteran of
00:41:21.220
the phoenix fbi field office by the way ray epps's lawyer was doing this big tour that was picked up by
00:41:27.540
the j6 committee and adam kinsinger and others and lawyer was saying ray epps has nothing to do with the
00:41:33.920
fbi and ray epps for that matter had nothing to do with any law enforcement agency and you'll notice this
00:41:41.140
lawyer was clinging on to the term law enforcement agency for dear life why would that be could it have
00:41:49.120
something to do with the fact that the dhs is not a law enforcement agency military intelligence is not a
00:41:58.200
law enforcement agency and neither for that matter would any kind of private cutout organization
00:42:04.580
contractor work that is doing the bidding of those agencies be a law enforcement agency and this is
00:42:13.720
particularly interesting to consider in light of ray epps's lawyer's answer to another question when
00:42:20.120
asked okay you're saying he's not fbi he's not law enforcement agency can you tell us if he's involved
00:42:26.220
with any government agency period the lawyer's response is very telling if you read between the
00:42:32.200
lines his response was not to my knowledge now clearly the lawyer and epps had conversations about
00:42:39.220
ray epps's past and his potential involvement with government agencies how else would the lawyer be able to
00:42:46.940
so emphatically and explicitly deny epps's involvement with law enforcement agencies so it's clear that if the
00:42:54.440
lawyer were in a position to deny involvement with any agency just as explicitly and just as emphatically
00:43:02.180
he would have left up the opportunity to do so but instead we have the absolute damning answer
00:43:08.780
not to my knowledge give me a break we all know it epps is the smoking gun of january 6 and we have
00:43:16.700
more fruit now than darren darren hang on for a second we're gonna get back we're gonna deconstruct
00:43:22.360
more of the tucker revelations also jim hoff is going to join us about the eric system
00:43:27.600

in the supreme court and all these big issues happening there he's also all over the weaponization
00:46:41.640

man but man it's just not happening over there uh and also mike you're very close to what's happening
00:47:00.960
on jason give me your assessment first davis on tucker's revelations last night uh particularly
00:47:05.800
q anon shaman uh uh sitnik epps all of it sir yeah so the the justice department has a
00:47:15.340
obligation under the constitution to provide to defendants exculpatory evidence evidence that
00:47:23.540
tends to show their innocence and with these thousands and thousands of hours of capital
00:47:29.760
surveillance videos you have to ask what did the justice department do to obtain these videos and how
00:47:36.540
did they make these videos available to these january 6 defense attorneys particularly uh this jacob
00:47:44.480
chinsley uh his his counsel jacob chinsley pled guilty in a plea agreement back in september
00:47:52.140
of 2021 so the question you have to ask if you watch this tucker video uh these these tucker videos
00:47:59.820
last night this is clear exculpatory evidence that jacob chinsley should not be in prison for 41 months
00:48:07.580
this is clear evidence that the uh the capital police escorted him around you know you have this
00:48:13.320
mentally ill man who went went went on the senate floor but but but hang on hang on but you got you
00:48:19.540
got to help you got to help me out here everybody merrick garland knew they these guys know they all
00:48:25.360
had access to the footage the j6 or elected congressman nancy pelosi heard they had this footage
00:48:32.680
it's not just it's not just the q anon shaman itself but how do you what kind of country is this
00:48:38.720
russia during the moscow show trials how could they possibly not just presented j6 but in a criminal
00:48:45.620
proceeding i mean to me people that did this should go to prison how do they put an american
00:48:50.660
citizen when you have this footage of the of the of the capital police being an escort for the guy
00:48:56.860
it's like the praetorian guard one time he's got nine guys there they're they're taking him and trying
00:49:01.480
to find the doors of the senator open how it's not just that but how did people in authority
00:49:07.840
know this and then prosecute this man and put him in prison mike davis that is a very very good
00:49:16.480
question that i had been lighting up twitter on uh for for the last uh day and here's the issue
00:49:23.100
remember attorney general merrick garland says back on january 4th he puts out this statement
00:49:27.740
two years into the january 6th investigations how quote one of the largest most complex and most
00:49:33.540
resource intensive investigations in our history right okay so if that's the case didn't the biden
00:49:40.320
justice department including the fbi review this capital surveillance video these thousands and
00:49:45.680
thousands and thousands of hours did they not review this now i understand that they said to these
00:49:50.520
defense attorneys sure you can go to the capital and look at these videos well that's not good enough
00:49:55.240
right there there is a constitutional case called brady where the defense attorney that the prosecutors
00:50:00.900
have to turn over to the defense attorney's exculpatory evidence right they didn't do that here if you just
00:50:06.520
say here here's thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of videos from many different
00:50:12.080
videos across the capital you know go find the needle in the haystack to help your client when you're a
00:50:16.860
solo practitioner a solo defense attorney trying to represent a client that's not fair that's not how it's
00:50:22.680
supposed to work especially when you have hundreds of fbi agents and they had how many prosecutors
00:50:28.340
working on this case in the biden justice department they should have they should have
00:50:32.620
handed to jacob chansley's lawyers this specific video that was shown on tucker carlson last night
00:50:39.120
and they should not have prosecuted him for the charges that they prosecuted him for he should not
00:50:44.240
be in prison for 41 months this yes people should people should lose there's no there's no jury there's no
00:50:51.680
jury of his peers in this country that would find the guy guilty if they'd seen that i don't even know
00:50:56.440
how they bring the case i think this is impeachable this the the criminals here are the justice department
00:51:03.700
lawyers that did this and the j6 panel beady jump in here for a second mike hang on with me to hold
00:51:08.520
through the break beady your your thoughts on this one in particular how they prosecute a guy
00:51:13.320
when the evidence of his innocence is right there yeah i mean it's it's very shameful the whole
00:51:20.480
the whole exercise i mean my understanding it varies between you know case to case as to the
00:51:27.000
january 6 cases but in general there have been many cases where it doesn't seem like the government has
00:51:32.580
been forthcoming at all with respect to potentially exculpatory evidence and what's even more unfortunate
00:51:39.040
is it doesn't seem like all of the uh defense lawyers the the on the council side are being as
00:51:47.320
aggressive as one might expect or hope to retrieve this type of exculpatory material especially material
00:51:54.680
that pertains to the possibility of instigation incitement provocation um and entrapment uh there's
00:52:04.520
some kind of hesitation maybe there's a sense that it would unnecessarily or counterproductively
00:52:11.040
aggravate the government but i think there needs to be a more aggressive push for all of this evidence
00:52:16.800
all of this footage and for it to be used as part of it okay hang on one second 90 second break
