Summary
The DOJ Inspector General's report is out, and it's a doozy. It's a whitewash, to say the least. And it's not just the report itself, it's the newly discovered text messages between Peter Stroke and Lisa Page that have the potential to prove that the DOJ whitewashed the report.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, we're talking the Inspector General's report
00:00:04.320
and all of the problems with what looks like to be a cover-up.
00:00:12.120
and Robert Spencer is with me to discuss the latest happening in Gaza between Hamas and Israel.
00:00:23.240
The long-awaited Department of Justice Inspector General report dropped yesterday,
00:00:27.540
and it was absolutely as lackluster and disappointing as I thought it would be.
00:00:33.960
The report does nothing but say, well, maybe people broke some FBI rules.
00:00:40.680
Now, I want to make it seem like that's not the case,
00:00:43.740
but I'm telling you, as somebody who was in law enforcement,
00:00:46.760
alongside law enforcement and covering law enforcement for 25 years,
00:00:57.880
This report basically said, well, people did some things wrong,
00:01:00.680
and yeah, we're going to refer them back to the FBI for internal investigation.
00:01:05.780
They may have inappropriately texted some things that may have seemed biased.
00:01:11.200
But in reality, there wasn't one criminal referral.
00:01:16.640
And they didn't even, they didn't even have the decency to ever published the final report.
00:01:24.500
Because remember, many conservatives, myself included, were concerned this report was held back for a while
00:01:29.140
after Inspector General Horowitz completed his investigation.
00:01:33.640
Now, he's an Obama appointee and an old friend of James Comey.
00:01:36.980
I'm not saying I've got tremendous faith in that guy either.
00:01:43.240
Why didn't the pure, unfiltered, raw report come out immediately?
00:01:50.760
Now, we're going to get in a moment into Christopher Wray, the FBI director's embarrassingly,
00:02:04.440
And I'm going to run through, I made a list of them.
00:02:05.900
So I'm going to be looking at my screen a lot, telling you certain things that jumped out in the report that I and others found.
00:02:11.620
But one of the things that really leapt out at me and many others with regards to this report
00:02:18.280
were the texts, those newly discovered texts that the OIG had, that DOJ had,
00:02:26.740
were never given a Congress between Peter Stroke and Lisa Page.
00:02:32.040
I don't understand in any way, shape, or form how the inspector general could have read these texts
00:02:39.600
and concluded that there was no political bias on the part of the FBI.
00:02:45.040
And of course, the text I'm talking about is the following.
00:02:47.840
If you haven't read it, hope you're sitting down.
00:02:49.960
Lisa Page, the FBI lawyer, texted Peter Stroke, one of Mueller's senior investigators,
00:02:57.360
a senior counterterrorism agent at the FBI, the agent who interviewed Michael Flynn, General Flynn,
00:03:06.720
Trump's not ever going to become president, right?
00:03:24.080
Now, despite that, despite that, Horowitz's report found that Peter Stroke and Lisa Page's political views
00:03:46.540
Now, many people, many conservatives out there on Twitter, most notably Robbie Starbuck.
00:03:55.580
He's a very successful music video producer in Hollywood who's a friend of mine.
00:04:05.940
He's an anomaly in Hollywood, but he's a talented enough guy and established enough in the industry
00:04:09.720
where he doesn't, he's not affected by his politics.
00:04:13.760
So he and many others, and I'm going to go through some of their tweets and read you some of the things they found.
00:04:19.140
But many of the things that we were all finding were the text messages.
00:04:26.680
I'm going to read you the different things that people found on their feeds, many of the things I found.
00:04:30.560
Here are some more texts that hadn't been publicized from Page and Stroke from Lisa Page.
00:04:39.880
Now, remember, I'm reading these to you because I want you to remember that the inspector general
00:04:44.180
found that Peter Stroke and Lisa Page did not let their political views and their political bias influence their work.
00:04:56.720
The first thing out of his mouth was, quote, we're going to win so big.
00:05:05.160
I have no idea how destabilizing his presidency would be.
00:05:09.260
Stroke, just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart.
00:05:18.940
The New York Times probability numbers are dropping every day.
00:05:25.920
Stroke, Jill Stein and moron Gary Johnson are effing everything up, too.
00:05:46.320
Now, an agent that was not identified, because there are many, many damning communications in the inspector general's report with people listed as FBI employee, in this case, agent number five.
00:05:58.160
Agent number five, quote, I would rather have brunch with Trump and a bunch of his supporters like the ones from Ohio that are retarded.
00:06:12.960
I mean, I never really liked the Republic anyway.
00:06:16.420
FBI employee two said, I mean, I never really liked the Republic anyway.
00:06:21.700
As I have initiated the destruction of the Republic, would you be so kind as to have coffee with me this afternoon?
00:06:29.560
Now, you've seen these, but they were in the report again.
00:07:16.280
500 pages reading it was like, I couldn't believe this was happening.
00:07:24.740
This is an FBI agent working on the Clinton investigation.
00:07:36.800
Or witnesses who had material information on Hillary Clinton.
00:08:16.300
A SCIF is a sensitive compartmented information facility.
00:08:37.400
Would be funny if he was the only guy charged in this deal.
00:09:10.680
Yet the inspector general found that James Comey.
00:09:14.080
Did not let political bias creep in to the Hillary Clinton investigation.
00:09:45.660
I'm a lot more angry today than I've been on the show.
00:11:04.540
What they call the official government vehicle.
00:11:37.780
We just saw the FBI agent using their taxpayer.
00:11:42.960
That would be an automatic 45 to 60 day suspension.
00:19:59.740
But they found no evidence of political bias there among senior members of the FBI.
00:20:06.780
Evidence is anything that proves or tends to prove a material fact at issue.
00:20:12.280
The existence of a pervasive culture of politicization in favor of Hillary Clinton, plus the fact that every single decision, which they characterize as prosecutorial discretion, went in Hillary's favor.
00:20:29.980
From granting immunity to pretty much everybody, to not seeking subpoenas, to not examining the most basic evidence, which would be the server.
00:20:48.360
When have you ever seen a suspect who gets the benefit of the doubt every single time when the fix isn't in?
00:21:05.580
How about Hank Greenberg who prevailed, but he had to spend about $22 million on legal fees to beat the government.
00:21:12.360
When does this discretion start going in the favor of an accused that they happen to disagree with politically?
00:21:37.720
I've never seen this many Queen for a Day letters issued with people so materially close, not to the investigation, but to the criminal behavior in the investigation.
00:21:50.720
Queen for a Day letter is just a fancy way of saying immunity.
00:21:53.180
You're given immunity for your testimony that day, just for the audience.
00:21:55.720
But I've never seen immunity granted to that many people who went into the interview most likely having done something criminal.
00:22:10.780
I mean, that's not why you use those Queen for a Day letters.
00:22:14.260
You use those Queen for a Day letters to get testimony, not to give cover to your political allies.
00:22:21.260
I mean, this was—this is a disaster, more than just this investigation.
00:22:27.620
The thing about Hillary Clinton, you know, it's bad, and there are certain people who should have gone to jail.
00:22:34.100
But the real damage is to the institutions and to our faith in our system.
00:22:42.000
This was an attempt to try and whitewash things to get the reputation of the FBI and the DOJ back.
00:22:48.760
By someone who loves the DOJ and loves the FBI and thinks it's important that their reputation come back.
00:22:56.100
They don't understand the fact that when a limb is gangrenous, it has to come off.
00:23:02.200
Look, I used to be the guy that the generals would send to troubled units to fix them.
00:23:13.780
Let me ask you a question about that because it's important.
00:23:15.240
So you wouldn't do, back when you were a colonel, what Christopher Ray did, which was to hold a press conference saying you were going to hold ethics and diversity training.
00:23:25.900
We have the best intern program, and we only take 5% of our honor as interns.
00:23:32.900
Yeah, you don't walk in and talk about how great everybody is.
00:23:36.300
If you guys are really good, and they're always good troops, you know, I never blamed the troops.
00:23:46.900
You walked in, and you set the standard, and you executed.
00:23:57.200
This is, you go in, and you confront the problem, and you get rid of them, and you allow the good people to operate by enforcing the standards.
00:24:06.500
You don't tell everybody we're a great organization.
00:24:08.740
You become a great organization by becoming a great organization.
00:24:12.920
Well, you know, did you see Gorka, Sebastian Gorka's tweets today, and they comport with other reporters from Fox News?
00:24:18.480
Gorka said that Christopher Ray is completely useless.
00:24:21.140
Agents tell him that Ray sits in his office with the door closed.
00:24:25.620
Then, I forget who it was, but a Fox News reporter tweeted that they're now hearing from agents that Ray is down his foot and says no more whistleblowers,
00:24:34.760
and you're going to basically be penalized and ruined if you dare blow the whistle on any more wrongdoing inside the FBI.
00:24:42.240
This is not the way to repair the image of an agency.
00:25:08.040
But here's my problem with Ray that I've always had with DOJ lawyers who've never carried a gun, never kicked a door, never tackled a bad guy running the FBI.
00:25:17.460
You can't have a lawyer who's never been a cop running a law enforcement agency.
00:25:22.220
For contrast, this against Tom Homan, the ICE director.
00:25:25.880
That guy is hard charging, unpolitically correct, unapologetic.
00:25:29.500
If you stuck a Tom Homan-like guy at the top of the FBI, the agency would be clean in a week.
00:25:41.260
But if I went in there, I would know what to do.
00:25:51.440
I think he went in there to protect the agency as a bureaucrat thinks about it.
00:25:56.640
A bureaucrat thinks about protecting his agency by covering up wrongdoing.
00:26:01.000
A leader thinks about protecting his agency by making his agency great.
00:26:09.180
You know, an agency is great because of its standards, not in spite of them.
00:26:13.180
Not in spite of the fact that people found out that sometimes people don't meet the standards.
00:26:19.280
You expect that sometimes people are going to fall short.
00:26:22.120
When you succeed, it's because of your reaction to it.
00:26:26.020
Not covering it up, but dealing with it openly.
00:26:29.440
But isn't the equivalent to sticking a DOJ lawyer at the helm of the FBI the same as if instead of sending in Colonel Kurt Schlichter with 20 some odd years in the military,
00:26:39.920
they plucked a DOJ lawyer that's never served in the military and stuck them in.
00:26:48.160
Not even a JAG, just a civilian DOJ lawyer that's never had military time and put them in place to run one of the units.
00:27:02.580
And I think this is going to give Trump some leeway to fire people.
00:27:12.200
I expect a tweet storm if it already hasn't started.
00:27:24.540
Yeah, Donald Trump was 100% right to fire James Comey.
00:27:38.820
He's talking about jobs numbers, but he is retweeting.
00:27:47.100
The IG report is a total disaster for Comey, his minions, and sadly, the FBI.
00:27:52.100
Comey will now officially go down as the worst leader by far in the history of the FBI.
00:27:56.100
I did a great, I did a great, now this is what bothers me, Kurt.
00:28:01.540
I did a great service to the people in firing him.
00:28:12.160
Is this some of the 273 level chests that we're-
00:28:25.100
Look, I mean, look, again, I didn't start out having a lot of faith in Donald Trump, as you well know.
00:28:31.360
I was never a never-Trumper because I've had sex with a woman.
00:28:39.740
And then Trump won me over with a track record of success and making promises and keeping them.
00:28:58.620
I know that somebody in the White House likes Christopher Wray.
00:29:03.640
And it's somebody that Trump respects, who's reassuring Trump that Wray is a good guy.
00:29:18.780
But people that the president trusts and listens to.
00:29:21.380
Maybe he didn't watch, maybe he didn't watch the news conference.
00:29:24.100
He was at top interns, best interns, huge interns.
00:29:32.300
If we have a hundred interns, we only take five.
00:30:04.200
I mean, you take a 7-6-2 round to the pelvis and then you come back a year later and you're
00:30:12.420
You know, I just don't think that we've really explored the fact that a, a Democrat, proud
00:30:20.600
Democrat, tried to murder a bunch of Republicans.
00:30:31.060
Do we see Lisa Page and Peter Stroke fired or does this whole thing just get swept away?
00:30:38.200
If you look at the IG report, and you have in more detail than I have, um, but they did
00:30:48.440
Let's, let, let, let's not, you know, confuse people.
00:30:55.800
But, but I see on the whole, but not to individual players.
00:31:00.380
But there, there are things that he just couldn't hide and he had to say.
00:31:04.180
And I think, I don't think there's, there's not a scenario I see where Stroke and Page stay
00:31:11.140
Now, I'm curious, was there any talk about the fact that they were, you know, banging each
00:31:17.760
Did anyone, did the IG mention you're not supposed to do that?
00:31:21.460
Apparently, ruin around with your married colleague is not against the rules, FBI rules.
00:31:28.140
So I guess that's why Ray wants to conduct ethics training.
00:31:34.940
Not only for the harassment side, but you know, if you're encounter, if you're head of counterintelligence
00:31:39.420
and you're banging a woman who's not your wife, doesn't that make you potentially compromised?
00:31:44.460
I think you're, you're, you're really blackmail in that case, right?
00:31:48.420
You would, you would, I honestly have to tell you, Kurt, I was shocked that it wasn't, that
00:31:52.880
it wasn't part of the code of the FBI because all agents have to carry TS clearance, top
00:31:59.720
You would think that anything that could compromise you would automatically.
00:32:03.520
Oh, when I, when I got, when I got my TS, SCI, I mean, they were like, okay, tell me
00:32:12.460
Maybe we can work through it, but you got to tell me.
00:32:27.740
No, I mean, it's, I mean, it's hugely disappointing.
00:32:31.400
The FBI, remember when we were kids, the FBI was a legend.
00:32:36.420
Yeah, there are a few police agencies that are led, you were in a legendary one.
00:32:53.720
And, and, and, and, you know, if the FBI said it, you know, and, and juries reacted that
00:32:58.580
way, juries were like, you know, a prosecutor could go at the FBI crime lab has found
00:33:05.140
And you're like, Oh, well, you know, this day, every law enforcement agency in the country
00:33:12.400
follows the FBI protocols for selecting firearms and ammunition to give to their cops.
00:33:18.140
It's still considered the premier and let's face it, J. Edgar Hoover, despite the fact
00:33:23.980
that he liked to wear dresses and most likely had a 30 year relationship with his aide.
00:33:32.780
They didn't break down, but he was a tough FBI director.
00:33:39.620
Look, he was a, you show up and you're wearing a suit and tie.
00:33:50.360
You know, you didn't see, you know, Whitey Bulger getting tips from the FBI guys during
00:33:57.320
A case that Robert Mueller, Robert Mueller was the lead U.S.
00:34:00.420
Buried, yeah, you didn't see, you know, Robert Hansen selling out the FBI.
00:34:05.900
You didn't see the FBI crime lab having thousands of convictions overturned.
00:34:10.720
You didn't see, but, you know, but we, while we're talking about all this bad stuff, we still
00:34:16.920
have to go back to the heroism of individual FBI agents.
00:34:20.160
And I go back to the Florida shootout where a bunch of FBI's with very light weapons went
00:34:27.160
up against trained, you know, special forces guys with long rifles and shot it out with
00:34:34.200
It was right here, right here in Miami, the famous Miami shootout in the late 90s.
00:34:39.060
And in fact, my commander actually went to Afghanistan later and worked with one of those guys who's
00:34:45.580
still on the job in the 2000s doing anti-drug stuff in Afghanistan.
00:34:51.080
He was the guy who actually killed the two at the end, shot through the arm, firing a 12-gauge
00:35:01.900
He was FBI HRT, hostage rescue team there, SWAT.
00:35:08.580
And, uh, like my wife, so I, I'm familiar with when you get, you know, yeah, but I
00:35:15.000
mean, you know, for a guy to walk into fire like that with one light weapon against two
00:35:19.180
killers and to drop them both, I mean, that, that is the FBI we want.
00:35:26.060
That's the FBI that can be, and that is the FBI that this report betrayed by not holding
00:35:34.800
That, that, you know, that case called the famous Miami shootout, that case is training
00:35:39.540
And it was what, it was what created the national shift to deploying semi-automatic weapons to
00:35:45.480
police agencies because those agents were armed with 38s and the bad guys had fully automatic
00:35:51.020
Uh, they, they also had very light nine millimeter pistols, uh, which, uh.
00:35:59.120
And, uh, they were, they were underpowered at the time.
00:36:02.340
And they went, yeah, they went, they didn't have the good ammo.
00:36:07.220
And there were, there were a lot of changes, but you know, even I, and I'm a civilian,
00:36:10.420
I've studied that shootout as part of my own personal training to figure out what do you
00:36:17.140
do in a close range firefight and how do you, but these guys kept fighting full of bullets.
00:36:27.500
And that's why we owe them to hold that agency to the highest standards because that's, that's
00:36:40.200
Kurt Schlichter, everybody catches show on the rebel every Thursday, right?
00:36:45.500
You must watch it because it's the greatest thing ever happened.
00:37:10.420
So much going on in the world, especially as it pertains to Israel and Islamic terrorism,
00:37:14.860
we're seeing Hamas put together 5,000 kite bombs in Gaza to mark the end of Ramadan.
00:37:21.740
And in Canada, we're seeing backlash against anti-Muslim speech, similar to what we're seeing
00:37:28.220
Joining me now to discuss it all is the founder of Jihad Watch and the author of The History
00:37:32.260
of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS, our good friend, Robert Spencer.
00:37:44.660
Ottawa Library faces court challenge for canceling film depicting the Islamization of Europe.
00:37:51.080
This, you know, I know we should be desensitized to this by now, Robert, every time we see a
00:37:56.860
liberal government institution or entity or body trying to downplay the threat of radical
00:38:03.680
But I have to admit, it still stings me every time.
00:38:10.300
Madeline Well, the organizer of a screening of the so-called, and I love how you guys wrote
00:38:14.840
this, a quote, controversial film, Killing Europe at the Ottawa Public Library, has applied
00:38:20.680
for a judicial review of the library's decision to cancel the showing.
00:38:24.520
Weld runs the Ottawa chapter of Act for Canada and is also co-founder of the organization Canadian
00:38:32.780
And it's simply a documentary that warns about the dangers of Islam essentially creating a
00:38:42.540
Apparently, the producer was scheduled to give a talk.
00:38:45.840
The Ottawa Public Library shut it down after members of, I'm guessing, the Muslim community
00:38:54.320
The leftist groups and Muslim groups are working in tandem to shut down free and honest discussion
00:39:05.400
Give us the background on this and the problems with it.
00:39:10.220
But the thing is that the film Killing Europe—you know, you said anti-Muslim at the beginning
00:39:17.020
And I have to say, it's a media myth that to say that we're against jihad terror and
00:39:24.100
sharia oppression of women, of gays, of non-Muslims, and so on, is anti-Muslim.
00:39:31.840
It's very important because, you know, we have to not allow ourselves to accept this
00:39:38.120
To oppose jihad terror is no more anti-Muslim than to oppose Nazism during World War II is
00:39:45.800
So anyway, but that is how these kinds of initiatives proceed.
00:39:50.260
The film Killing Europe is a perfectly reasonable film that shows how there are some Muslims,
00:39:56.440
and here again, not all, who are trying to establish sharia enclaves in Europe and who
00:40:01.400
are eroding the principles of equality of rights of all people before the law, particularly
00:40:06.620
when it comes to women and to other groups that are targeted for discrimination in classic
00:40:12.820
And so the thing is, John, that this film has been shut down in the Ottawa Public Library
00:40:17.620
because it's supposed to be anti-Muslim or Islamophobic.
00:40:21.600
And the Trudeau government, of course, is committed to this motion M-103, which calls Islamophobia
00:40:29.240
really any honest discussion of jihad terror or the oppression that comes from sharia.
00:40:35.360
So this is a real huge issue for Canada and its future.
00:40:40.460
If they're going to defend the freedom of speech or allow the freedom of speech to be
00:40:44.340
shut down and Muslims essentially to be created as a protected class that cannot be criticized
00:40:54.380
So again, from the Jihad Watch piece, I'm reading verbatim.
00:40:57.520
The phobia about criticizing Islam is becoming more and more rooted in Canada.
00:41:00.780
A retired Air Force veteran, Major Russ Cooper, who also founded the C3RF organization, he said,
00:41:08.940
quote, the case really highlights just how chilled and intimidated every government authority,
00:41:15.860
every day government authorities have become when it comes to things Islamic,
00:41:19.720
right down the municipal level, of course, referring to the Ottawa Public Library, a local library.
00:41:24.600
We are well down the path that gave the U.K. its unimpeded rape gangs
00:41:27.620
and growing totalitarian impulses, including the jailing of Tommy Robinson.
00:41:32.640
Now, Tommy Robinson is a friend of ours here at The Rebel, a former colleague.
00:41:36.400
And I, as Americans, we look at what happened to him and we're simply horrified.
00:41:41.460
But it really does show us how far in the negative direction and the wrong direction
00:41:46.580
places like the U.K. have gone and Canada's going.
00:41:51.500
And, you know, Christine Douglas Williams, who wrote this piece at Jihad Watch that you're quoting,
00:41:57.880
is working with people there in Canada to try to reverse what's happening because it is extraordinarily
00:42:05.280
disquieting under the guise of so-called hate speech, which really is anything.
00:42:10.840
You know, there's no identifiable quantity that's objectively validated called hate speech.
00:42:16.660
Hate speech is whatever you want to call anything that you don't like.
00:42:19.920
And the Trudeau government essentially is using the claim that some things constitute hate speech
00:42:26.040
in order to shut them down, which everyone should be upset about because any government
00:42:31.640
can come in and call anything they want hate speech and shut it down.
00:42:35.120
And leftists who are applauding this, they could find that that same tactic is going to
00:42:43.980
Diamond and silk were considered offensive hate speech by Facebook until, luckily,
00:42:49.920
diamond and silk know the president of the United States.
00:42:52.360
They were able to get national, international attention.
00:42:55.580
They got the ear of key members of the House and Senate, and Facebook was called to task.
00:43:00.240
But I just found out, and I won't say the name, a prominent conservative journalist,
00:43:05.120
they asked me not to say the name, received a letter from the FEC because a left-leaning
00:43:09.760
group filed a formal complaint that they didn't register their Facebook page as a political
00:43:21.140
Yeah, they're determined to shut down all dissent.
00:43:23.200
What we see is the increasing authoritarianism of the left.
00:43:26.840
It demonstrates, of course, that they've lost the debate.
00:43:29.640
They know that they can't refute what we're saying.
00:43:32.400
They know, for example, when it comes to mass Muslim migration, the Islamization of Europe
00:43:38.240
and so on, as is discussed in Killing Europe, the documentary that was shut down in Ottawa,
00:43:42.760
they know that the migrants are wreaking havoc in Europe, that the situation is getting out
00:43:48.320
of hand rapidly in Sweden and in other countries.
00:43:51.420
And they know that they can't say anything about that.
00:43:53.460
So they're determined instead to silence us and to shut down all dissent.
00:43:57.800
Really, we see far-left regimes all over the world historically have always been authoritarian
00:44:03.560
and instituted a reign of terror to terrorize and kill or imprison all dissenters.
00:44:09.400
And we're seeing that the left now in the West is behaving in exactly the same way.
00:44:13.200
They are not fully in power, but they are moving to crush all dissent.
00:44:17.120
And I have no doubt that were they fully in power, then we would see the same things that
00:44:21.640
we saw in the Soviet Union and in communist China.
00:44:27.800
You know, this is what I was going to ask you, and it was perfect.
00:44:32.820
Here in America, we tell people, you know, we spew platitudes, right?
00:44:39.180
You know, go out there, march in the street, exercise your First Amendment right.
00:44:43.520
If you're a PAC, a political action committee of 527, throw your ads on TV, scream and yell,
00:44:50.700
But like you say, we're now seeing in places like the UK, when you get loud,
00:44:55.440
Tommy Robinson got loud, he raised awareness, he shined a light on a problem, they scooped
00:45:01.400
him up, and they summarily stuck him in the bowels of a jail for 13 months.
00:45:06.360
When that starts happening, what's the citizenry to do, Robert?
00:45:10.560
Well, I think that there have to be continued protests in Britain.
00:45:15.840
There have been already, and I hope that they continue.
00:45:19.040
And I hope ultimately that the government takes heed, pays heed to the will of the people
00:45:26.560
A lot of people, you know, since you mentioned that, John, a lot of people say, well, look,
00:45:34.940
They told him, you can't report outside the trials of Muslim rape gangs.
00:45:38.700
And this is a clear, transparent attempt to make sure that as few people as possible know
00:45:45.620
how much British officials let down their whole nation and allowed these Muslim rape gangs
00:45:51.200
to operate for years without being arrested or prosecuted, because they were afraid if
00:45:56.020
they did arrest and prosecute them, that they'd be accused of Islamophobia.
00:45:59.840
And so they didn't want Tommy talking about this, and they got him on this technicality.
00:46:07.260
All the people who were imprisoned in the Soviet Union and communist China were rightly
00:46:18.940
You know this, but many in the audience might not know this.
00:46:21.560
One of the things that infuriates me the most is when European officials, whether it be in
00:46:25.240
the UK, whether it be in France, now in Sweden, claim that there are no such things
00:46:30.200
as no-go zones, these little, like you said it perfectly earlier, these Sharia and radical
00:46:37.680
I've got a friend who's a very senior federal law enforcement agent, and back in the late
00:46:41.900
90s until the early 2000s, he was a legal attache for his particular agency at the U.S.
00:46:47.460
embassy in Paris, and he was warned in their intelligence briefings about the Muslim no-go
00:46:55.820
These things have existed for decades, these no-go zones.
00:46:58.800
So the governments in the UK, in France, even down to the local level, the mayors of London,
00:47:05.940
Sadiq Khan, those without saying, and mayor of Paris, they are flat out lying to their
00:47:15.920
You may recall a few years ago, there was a controversy when no-go zones were discussed
00:47:20.160
on Fox News, and Fox abjectly apologized, which was stupid.
00:47:25.600
That actually is what spurned the initial discussion between me and this friend of mine, and we
00:47:32.680
Well, the mayor of Paris, you may recall, threatened to sue Fox News at that time for talking about
00:47:39.900
The suit never materialized, because the mayor of Paris knows very well that there are no-go
00:47:47.320
A lot of the objection to them comes from another technicality, that some people have defined
00:47:52.920
no-go zones as places where there are no non-Muslims, and non-Muslims can't even enter.
00:48:03.800
What they are is places where, essentially, Islamic law is in place, and is the de facto
00:48:15.820
But there is no real adherence to the laws of the land.
00:48:22.120
Years ago, I was walking around in Molenbeek in Antwerp, in Belgium, which is the notorious
00:48:30.120
The jihadis who killed 130 people in Paris in November 2015 hid out there for months before
00:48:37.160
And I was walking around in there, and I went into a halal butcher shop, and I was behaving
00:48:42.220
like I was just an American tourist, and I wanted to take a picture.
00:48:47.240
And the Muslim who was the owner of the butcher shop, or the guy who was attending it, he got
00:48:53.280
very angry and warned me in no uncertain terms that I better not take a picture.
00:48:57.280
And if I took a picture, there could be trouble.
00:48:59.760
Now, tourists go to Paris and take pictures all the time.
00:49:02.420
The idea that this is forbidden in this area is an indication that there is a whole other
00:49:11.760
And make no mistake, he made it very clear that I would face a violent attack if I went
00:49:16.640
Yeah, I believe every word you're saying, because what this friend of mine, buddy of
00:49:20.560
mine, told me is that if embassy officials at that time, I don't know if it's still the
00:49:24.860
case, had to go to those areas on any kind of business or to pick up a package, whatever
00:49:30.480
it may have been, to get their car repaired, they were at that point instructed to either
00:49:35.040
take members of the Marine security detail, or someone from the regional security officer's
00:49:39.500
diplomatic security service squad with them, as protection, they weren't allowed to go
00:49:45.680
I mean, so that tells you that what that's telling you is the local cops aren't going
00:49:53.760
There was recently an incident in Germany, I couldn't believe it.
00:49:56.680
There was a, no, I'm sorry, in Italy, a Muslim migrant was being deported, or he was, they
00:50:09.020
He broke the windshield of their police car and overpowered all four of them by himself
00:50:17.860
I'm one of the super, super tired as police officers in Italy.
00:50:21.720
But the point is that even the police are intimidated in many of these areas.
00:50:27.700
Yeah, I mean, the sad part is, I mean, look, we see it in the UK, we see it in Canada, but
00:50:31.220
let's face it, we're seeing it here in the United States, right?
00:50:33.900
In Minneapolis, St. Paul, this woman who's running to replace Keith Ellison, a Muslim with
00:50:39.380
ties to care, with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, who embraces Hamas.
00:50:45.240
We're seeing this woman, her name escapes me at the moment, running to replace him, who's
00:50:54.940
It's interesting because she married her brother a few years back.
00:51:06.020
And of course, nothing has been done because she is a Muslim politician.
00:51:15.180
You know, the left would cry Islamophobia if anything were done to prosecute her.
00:51:19.400
And she's likely to be in the United States Congress in next year.
00:51:23.320
Yeah, I was shocked that it actually looks well.
00:51:32.520
Let's switch gears before we have to let you go.
00:51:34.960
I want to talk about this very, very troubling report out of Gaza.
00:51:38.880
Hamas is apparently preparing 5,000 kite bombs to be used against Israel to mark the end of Ramadan.
00:51:49.780
I'm just glad that I'm also reading that Israeli, that IDF snipers, have some new sighting technology that's going to enable them to shoot these things out of the air.
00:51:56.500
Well, you know, the Gaza protesters who have been at the border now for quite some time have been using kites.
00:52:10.160
They have burned at least 6,000 acres of Israeli farmland by doing these things.
00:52:15.420
And then the U.N. actually this morning condemned Israel yet again for resisting these supposedly peaceful protesters.
00:52:23.600
And now they're going to have bombs on the kites.
00:52:26.120
Who knows what kind of havoc they're going to be able to wreak.
00:52:29.200
But this indicates yet again these are not peaceful protesters.
00:52:35.040
And the U.N. really ought to be ashamed of itself for continuing to validate this false narrative.
00:52:42.620
The IDF is going to wind up shooting a couple of terrorists and all of a sudden it's going to be the Israeli defense force attached, innocent, paraplegic, poor Palestinians who are only seeking asylum in Israel.
00:52:54.040
And the entire narrative about the kite bombs and the Hamas terrorists is going to be thrown by the wayside by the international leftist media, right?
00:53:08.040
And I really want to catch up with you offline about this politician in Minneapolis.
