00:00:00.000Hey, everybody, on Capitol Hill today, Merrick Garland was grilled and asked questions about why he's sending people from the FBI after moms and dads on school board meetings.
00:00:32.000Start a high school or a college chapter today and come to Phoenix, Arizona, December 18, 19, 2021, Phoenix, Arizona for America Fest, December 18, 19, 2021.
00:02:25.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:03.000Merrick Garland is a very interesting individual.
00:03:09.000Merrick Garland was supposed to be on THE United States Supreme Court.
00:03:14.000Remember when Justice Antonin Scalia passed away, the great Antonin Scalia, then President Barack Hussein Obama proposed that we need to have kind of a healing and kind of coming together period, and we're going to have a moderate come on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:03:30.000We're going to have Merrick Garland as he's not far to the left, he's not far to the right, he's kind of going to be like Anthony Kennedy.
00:03:38.000Now, to his great credit, Senator Mitch McConnell said, no, that's not going to happen.
00:03:45.000The election occurred, and Merrick Garland remained in limbo and never got his appointment to the United States Supreme Court.
00:03:54.000Merrick Garland always kind of had the appearance, he always kind of had the disguise, the camouflage, the uniform of being a very moderate individual, both in his temperament and also his politics.
00:04:08.000Merrick Garland always kind of had a way of saying, I don't want to bring the country too far in one direction, but my duty is to the rule of law.
00:04:17.000Now, Merrick Garland has showed his true colors the last six or seven months, ever since becoming Attorney General of the United States.
00:04:26.000He is, without a doubt, one of the most radical, craven, one of the most dangerous attorney generals in American history.
00:04:36.000I will even say, in some ways, Merrick Garland is doing things that Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch did not even do when they were Attorney General of the United States.
00:04:45.000Today, Merrick Garland is doing a hearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
00:04:52.000Merrick Garland is being asked certain questions that he doesn't even know the specifics of.
00:04:56.000What he does as Attorney General is exactly what Bob Mueller did when he was the appointment, where they have these elderly, kind of elderly old men that have had long resumes and careers, Merrick Garland being a federal judge, Bob Mueller, I think Bob Mueller ran the FBI, didn't he?
00:05:47.000Unelected, by the way, no one showed up in huge numbers to go elect Merrick Garland to be able to write letters to say to the National School Board Association, to acknowledge the letter from the National School Board Association, say, you know what?
00:06:00.000We need to go use the FBI, the Department of Justice, to go after moms and dads that are showing up in big numbers to school board meetings.
00:06:08.000Now, Republicans are doing their job here by overseeing Merrick Garland.
00:06:17.000But Merrick Garland is not used to being challenged like this.
00:06:21.000I listened to some of the hearing this morning, and I could tell you this is a man who, just like Bob Mueller, is only a placeholder and is being used and manipulated by other treacherous and other malevolent interests to try to weaponize the federal government of the United States.
00:06:43.000Representative Mike Johnson grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland.
00:06:59.000And I'm very, very proud of that, where we said Attorney General Merrick Garland is conflicted because his family has made money off of Panorama.
00:07:08.000My friend Adam Ngieski from openthebooks.com has done a phenomenal job of showing the actual extent of that.
00:07:15.000In fact, the extent is this, is that Merrick Garland's family has contracts with 23,000 public schools and raised $76 million from investors.
00:07:25.000And they have $27 million in payments from state, school districts, and local boards of education.
00:07:30.000The Garland family is making tens of millions of dollars every single year through their company Panorama.
00:07:52.000And I just want to, I think this is Mike Johnson who did this, but I listened to this on the radio coming in this morning.
00:07:59.000And I was so blown away by how strong the questioning was of Merrick Garland saying, listen, have you done a conflict of interest check?
00:08:09.000And Merrick Garland's response was stunning.
00:08:12.000Let's play cut 79 of Merrick Garland being grilled in front of Congress of how he is making millions of dollars, his family's making millions of dollars while he's deploying the shock troops after moms and dads.
00:08:26.000Understand that, but did you seek ethics counsel before you issued a letter that directly relates to the financial interest of your family?
00:09:08.000You're not able to decide whether or not you have a conflict of interest.
00:09:10.000Remember, Donald Trump had a meal at Trump International Hotel, and they wanted to appoint a special prosecutor.
00:09:16.000He's getting rich because he has some lunch at the Trump Hotel.
00:09:20.000Merrick Garland's family is making millions of dollars off a curriculum being implemented in states across the country.
00:09:25.000And he says, oh, no, no, I don't have a conflict of interest.
00:09:28.000We need a special prosecutor for this.
00:09:30.000We need an oversight capacity to say, no, no, no, Merrick Garland, you need to be investigated for how you are trying to chill and suppress speech because why?
00:09:38.000Because moms and dads and parents want to get Panorama out of the school boards, which your family's making tons of money from.
00:09:45.000Could you imagine, here's the equivalent.
00:09:47.000This would be like someone running any one of these major agencies.
00:10:09.000Any sort of ethical investigation from the Department of Justice or from everybody say, no, no, you're conflicted.
00:10:15.000You remember that Jeff Sessions had to recuse himself because he said something at some rally before, which totally derailed the entire Trump presidency while he was Attorney General?
00:10:27.000This is Merrick Garland's daughter and son-in-law that are making millions of dollars off the very thing that is getting grassroots response, and they're implementing it.
00:10:37.000If you go into Panorama education, the Panorama Education, which his son-in-law started, weird name, Zan Tanner or something, right?
00:10:46.000They are not only making money off it, they are implementing it.
00:11:16.000The National School Board Association had disorderly conduct.
00:11:20.000One of the examples they used was from the father whose daughter was raped, and the rapist was sent to another school, and he got arrested at that school board meeting for speaking out.
00:11:34.000Are you worried about America's future?
00:11:35.000Times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who have built and preserved our country did not despair.
00:11:42.000And if we're going to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history, and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration.
00:11:49.000Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, was founded in 1844 to teach these things, and it teaches them still today.
00:11:56.000The great news is that we can study all these things along with Hillsdale College professors right in our home.
00:12:02.000Through Hillsdale College's free online course, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of ancient and Christian philosophers, the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.
00:12:10.000We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution.
00:12:13.000We can learn how the Constitution has been undermined, and more importantly, how it can be recovered.
00:12:17.000I take the Hillsdale online courses every single day.
00:12:20.000You guys can go to charlie4hillsdale.com and join me in taking intro to Constitution, Constitution 101, the Federalist Papers, an intro to the Progressive Era, Progressive 201 is what it's called.
00:12:31.000From Genesis to John Locke, the Western tradition.
00:12:34.000How about how to teach your children Genesis?
00:12:36.000Look, if you want to know what's going wrong with our country, then you guys have to go to charlie4hillsdale.com and learn about the truth behind Western civilization, behind truth and beauty and goodness.
00:12:48.000They have a course on Dante's Divine Comedy.
00:12:50.000I just finished recently the Winston Churchill and Statesmanship course.
00:12:54.000Every child, every kid, every person, every citizen should take the Winston Churchill and Statesmanship class.
00:13:00.000I just finished Introduction to Aristotle's Ethics, How to Lead a Good Life.
00:13:04.000And I'm telling you, I'm almost done, 41% of the way there.
00:13:07.000Western heritage from Genesis to John Locke.
00:13:09.000The Genesis story, I'm about to wrap up.
00:13:24.000A proper understanding of K-12 education, theory, and practice.
00:13:29.000They have a new course now, the David Story, Shepherd, Father, and King.
00:13:32.000They have one on mathematics and logic from Euclid to modern geometry, civil rights in American history, classic children's literature.
00:13:39.000Also, Congress, how it worked and why it doesn't, the Second World Wars, Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and selected short stories.
00:13:46.000Literally, if you take every single Hillsdale online course, it's better than most college diplomas out there.
00:14:48.000And many people ask the question, they say, how did Merrick Garland become Attorney General?
00:14:52.000We're going to talk about the Republicans that aided and abetted Merrick Garland to become Attorney General.
00:14:57.000We're going to name the names of every single Republican that voted for Merrick Garland as he now declared war on moms and dads across the country, amongst many other things that he is doing.
00:15:08.000But understand that the curriculum of critical race theory through Panorama that the Garland family has made millions of dollars off of.
00:15:16.000Understand that the curriculum of critical race theory and the entire idea of implementing CRT into our schools is a scheme that profits and benefits highly educated, low-skilled, elderly white people to make millions of dollars off of awful ideas.
00:15:36.000You see, Merrick Garland, being a former federal judge, attorney general, he has now understood that because of the racial reckoning that happened after Floyd Apalooza in our country in the summer of 2020, that his family has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to go strike gold.
00:15:54.000It's the gold rush kind of we struck oil equivalent for the Garland family.
00:16:00.000They say it's only a short window of time where America is going to want to talk about race all the time.
00:16:11.000They raise money from all the major technocrats.
00:16:14.000And understand the corruption of this too, though.
00:16:16.000And we need a special prosecutor and a special counsel because if you have Zuckerberg all of a sudden granting money to Garland's son-in-law's company, is Zuckerberg and all those people going to be investigated for what they did for the Center for Technology and Civic Life?
00:16:33.000Do you understand the corruption here?
00:16:35.000That all of a sudden you invest in the son's company or the son-in-law's company, then they're going to be less likely to be investigated themselves.
00:16:44.000Also, how about Merrick Garland's wife?
00:16:48.000Did you know that Merrick Garland's wife was heavily involved and has been heavily involved in trying to stop election audits and getting to the bottom of elections all across the country?
00:17:01.000And she has been heavily involved in trying to stop the audits.
00:17:06.000And then what does Merrick Garland do?
00:17:08.000Merrick Garland comes in with the Attorney General of the United States office and sues for the Georgia voting law, which is the most vanilla voting law you can imagine, comes into Arizona and tries to threaten them and intimidate them to stop doing the Arizona audit.
00:17:23.000This man is making money off the government that makes Nancy Pelosi look like child's play.
00:17:31.000Let's get to another sound here of Merrick Garland being questioned by Representative Burgess Owens, a friend of mine and a good man, about parents who speak out against CRT.
00:17:41.000Garland says he does not believe parents who testify, speak, or argue with, or complain about school boards should be classified as domestic terrorists.
00:17:48.000And I just have a very simple question, just kind of like Bob Mueller, where they put in these elderly, kind of mentally decaying men in charge of these departments.
00:17:58.000They always are like, oh, we're looking into it.
00:18:01.000Does he have any idea what's actually going on in the country?
00:18:03.000Does he realize the significance of the memo that he sent?
00:18:09.000Attorney General Garland, do you agree with the National School Board Association, the parents who attend school board meetings and speak passionately against inclusion of divisive programs like critical race theory should be characterized as domestic terrorists?
00:18:24.000I do not believe that parents who testify, speak, argue with, complain about school boards and schools should be classified as domestic terrorists or any kind of criminals.
00:18:37.000Then why are you sending that letter, Merrick Garland?
00:18:39.000Why are you saying we need a new committee of using the Patriot Act, Department of Homeland Security?
00:18:54.000We are, Turning Point USA for a school board watch list.
00:18:58.000So, our school board watch list at Turning Point USA, according to the National School Board Association, somehow gave warrant to allow the Attorney General of the United States to say, we need to go and invoke the Patriot Act.
00:19:10.000So, what if they're trying to bring dirty bombs across the southern border?
00:19:13.000And this goes to a theme we've been kind of hitting on here in our country in our show and what's happening in our country.
00:19:20.000You waltz across the southern border, you get preference, you get elevated, you get priority.
00:19:25.000But if you were born here and you're someone who loves the country, you're someone who's a conservative, no, they're going to use the apparatus of government to penalize you, to investigate you, to spy on you.
00:19:38.000He's the top law enforcement officer of the country.
00:19:40.000Could you imagine an Attorney General of the United States doing this under any other president?
00:19:46.000We're going to keep on getting into this, but I want to get even deeper with all of you about who Merrick Garland represents, the type of individual he is.
00:19:55.000He's a technocrat, he's an oligarch, and he's a perfect personification of the place we are right now in America.
00:20:04.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:20:12.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:20:17.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:20:23.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:20:34.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:20:38.000And that is where massively important organizations called Second Vote come in.
00:20:42.000The courageous people at Second Vote are exposing corporations for how they spend your money.
00:21:40.000Let's say, Charlie, what does that have to do with anything?
00:21:41.000Barbara Streison has a big house or hat.
00:21:44.000I don't know if she still lives there.
00:21:47.000And Barbara Streison was very upset that a certain photographer who wanted to try and catalog the erosion of the California coastline happened to photograph Barbara Streison's home.
00:22:02.000Barbara Streison did everything she possibly could to try to remove this.
00:22:06.000Barbara Streisand was very upset that anyone would dare photograph her home.
00:22:12.000So this was put on the internet, and Barbara Streison found out that her house was photographed.
00:22:19.000She said this was a violation of privacy.
00:22:22.000Now, mind you, this was literally just some environmentalist that was taking pictures of the coastline.
00:22:28.000So Barbara Streisand realized this, and up until she decided to do something about it, the image was downloaded six times.
00:22:37.000Six people were interested in her home.
00:22:40.000But once she filed a lawsuit to try to prevent anyone from finding out where the house was, the picture became international news and was downloaded 420,000 times in the following month.
00:22:56.000The lawsuit was eventually dismissed because there really is no violation of privacy to photograph what you can see in a helicopter.
00:23:05.000This started something known as the Streisand effect.
00:23:09.000It's a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the internet.
00:23:23.000This is exactly what is happening right now with Merrick Garland and the National School Board Association.
00:23:30.000In an attempt to censor moms and dads to show up to the school board meeting, just like how Barbara Streison wanted to censor her home from being on the internet where only six people went and saw it, as a result of that,
00:23:44.000and the National School Board Association and Merrick Garland going after the grassroots push of parents that have started to care about what's happening to their kids' education, we are now seeing more people talk about the National School Board Association story than ever before.
00:24:03.000I want to play a tape here of Cut 83, Representative Chip Roy, who started to press Attorney General Merrick Garland on the Loudoun County sexual assault scandal.
00:24:14.000So Merrick Garland is being called to testify in front of Congress.
00:24:19.000And what is every Republican asking him about?
00:24:22.000School board, school board, school board, school board, school boards.
00:24:24.000The thing that is winning 60, 70, 80% of independent voters of how our schools have become radical indoctrination camps.
00:24:31.000You think that's what Merrick Garland really wants to talk about?
00:24:35.000Merrick Garland and the Democrats are being put on defense saying, well, yeah, of course we read the letter from the National School Board Association.
00:24:42.000In an attempt to censor the issue, they've made it bigger than ever before.
00:24:46.000In an attempt to cover it up and suppress the idea that our education system has become that of the third world, it is now all of a sudden the number one issue in Loudoun County, Virginia, the number one issue in Scottsdale, Arizona, the number one issue for swing voters is the decay of our government-run schools.
00:25:06.000Do you agree with Loudoun parents who said it is not okay to allow a child that has been charged with a rape to go back into a school in that public school system?
00:25:14.000Again, I don't know any of the facts of this case, but the way you put it, it certainly sounds like I would agree with you.
00:25:21.000But I don't know the facts of the case.
00:25:22.000Is the FBI or the Department of Justice investigating the Loudoun School Board for violating civil rights or under authority of, say, the Violence Against Women Act?
00:25:31.000I don't believe so, but I don't know the answer to that.
00:27:51.000If you read the National School Board Association letter that I have here, not only does it wildly misrepresent what's happening at the school boards, but this is written almost like a country demanding intervention from the United States for foreign aid or for military support.
00:28:12.000This letter by the National School Board Association feels like I'm reading a letter by the Syrian rebels.
00:28:18.000Dear Joe Biden, please give us arms and assistance to help us fight Bashar al-Assad.
00:30:00.000Where is there even remotely a federal crime that's involved in any of this?
00:30:06.000And by the way, it's no wonder that our intelligence agencies were shocked when China, by the way, just they just tested a hypersonic missile.
00:30:35.000Merrick Garland just admitted it's this letter that we're going through, which is why he's willing to use the Patriot Act and the FBI to come after you.
00:30:55.000This is not a prosecution or an is there some study, some effort, some investigation someone did that said there's been a disturbing uptake, or you just take the words of the National School Board Association.
00:31:04.000When the National School Board Association, which represents thousands of school boards and school board members, says that there are these kind of threats.
00:32:11.000So just so you understand the new threshold, bullying and people saying mean things now means that you get to use the intelligence apparatus to go after people you don't like.
00:32:25.000Boy, if that's the new threshold, I got a long list of people.

00:34:34.000It's time to start getting quality sleep.
00:34:59.000Attorney General Garland, thank you for your service to the United States of America, which is a point of special pride for those of us who live in Maryland's 8th congressional district.
00:35:09.000Right-wing violence is now a lethal threat to American democracy.
00:35:14.000It came to the Capitol when QAnon followers, 3%ers, oath keepers, area nations, militiamen stormed the Capitol of the United States in the worst assault on the Capitol since the War of 1812, injuring more than 140 police officers, breaking their noses, breaking their necks, breaking their vertebrae, taking their fingers, causing traumatic brain injury, causing post-traumatic stress syndrome.
00:35:44.000And now, with all of the whitewashing by Donald Trump, who lied and said that his mob was hugging and kissing the officers, and by his cult-like followers, like Representative Clyde,
00:35:59.000who said that this was more akin to a tourist visit, this permission for violence has given license to the darkest impulses in right-wing politics and given rise to conspiracy theory-driven mob violence, not just at state capitals like we saw in Lansing, Michigan, which was a dress rehearsal for the January 6th attack, but also in schools and at school boards across the country.
00:36:26.000Here's some headlines from across the country that tell the story.
00:36:31.000School Boards Association reaches out to FBI for help as threats, violence hit meetings.
00:36:38.000Loudoun County board members have faced death threats.
00:36:41.000Prince William meetings have broken down with people.
00:36:44.000That guy is one of the most dishonest people.
00:36:46.000And you read the actual letter from the National School Board Association, Jamie Raskin or whatever.
00:36:51.000And I just wanted to play that for a second, just so you can understand how the Democrats are just flat out lying.
00:37:04.000There's a lot of different things happening, but I just want to understand, I want you to understand that Merrick Garland on the hot seat, none of this has gone the way that he thought.
00:37:17.000And here's why we are going to win, is that Merrick Garland in his chauffeured cars with his major staff in his ivory tower overseeing the Attorney General's office, Department of Justice, in the Kingdom of Washington, D.C., he underestimated how organic, how authentic, how grassroots, how bottom-up this movement is.
00:37:43.000They totally underestimated how this movement of parents rising up was not some sort of astro-turf thing you could put in its place.
00:37:55.000That the National School Board Association of America, working in collusion, working in coordination with Merrick Garland and the Attorney General of the United States by trying to suppress it and trying to hide it into the corner, they have only added fuel to the fire.
00:38:11.000They have contributed to a force multiplier of a grassroots movement to take back our education system.
