00:01:20.000Okay, I want to get into this continuing on the January 6th story with the man who knows more about the events and the complexities of what happened on that day than anybody else, Darren Beattie from Revolver.news.
00:01:50.000It's a great victory for anyone who's been trying to get the truth out in relation to January 6th.
00:01:57.000Some of the footage that Tucker showed last night, and my understanding is there's a lot more to come.
00:02:02.000But some of the footage was really, really amazing.
00:02:06.000You know, the footage of Brian Sicknick, for instance, you know, people forget it now.
00:02:12.000Brian Sicknick was the original lie, the lie that served as the prelude to the Fed surrection lie.
00:02:19.000They're telling us that this poor guy, you know, he suffered a tragic death, but it was a death of natural causes, as we've finally, as the media finally admitted.
00:02:30.000But originally, they were saying, here's a Capitol police officer who was bludgeoned to death by the, you know, the rabid MAGA mob.
00:02:38.000And then when it became clear that wasn't the case, that lie was no longer tenable.
00:02:45.000They switched to saying, oh, he was, he died as a result of bear spray.
00:02:49.000The MAGA mob sprayed him, and that's why he died.
00:02:51.000Well, Revolver.news did a very detailed sort of comparative image analysis showing that the theory of the case presented by the New York Times in relation to the bear spray was false and they knew it was false.
00:03:05.000And so finally, they were forced to say, okay, guys, he died of natural causes.
00:03:11.000But that was long after the narrative idea of January 6th being a deadly insurrection, deadly referring to the death of Officer Sicknick, congealed.
00:03:22.000And it really reinforced what I originally titled the piece.
00:03:26.000This was the first piece Revolver ever did on January 6th, MAGA blood libel.
00:03:32.000So I was very pleased to see the footage and see Tucker revisit the issue of Brian Sicknick.
00:03:40.000And of course, there is footage of Ray Epps.
00:03:43.000Tucker revealed January 6th committee caught in a lie and exposed one of the many discrepancies in Ray Epps' testimony to the January 6th committee that they went out of their way to cover up.
00:03:57.000Anybody who looks at the January 6th committee's interrogation of Epps, there's one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb, and that's Adam Kinsinger, one of the leaders of the January 6th witch hunt.
00:04:10.000He doesn't want to see rotting away in prison for 50 years at least.
00:04:14.000And yet, of all people, Adam Kinsinger is bending over backwards to offer the most implausibly charitable interpretation of lie after lie after lie that Ray Epps presents to this committee.
00:04:29.000And so that was another highlight, I think, of Tucker's segment last night: reporting on one of those lies, literally caught on camera.
00:04:38.000I say Ray Epps is like the shaggy of the January 6th insurrection.
00:04:51.000Time after time, piece of footage after piece of footage.
00:04:56.000The segment last night, I think, came pretty close to putting a nail in the coffin of this false and unbelievably malicious and destructive narrative presented by the regime and the regime media about January 6th.
00:05:11.000So I want to get, we'll get micro in the next segment, Darren, because there's so much I want to go through with you that you really know the details here.
00:05:20.000Can you talk about why this is important?
00:05:22.000Because our lovely audience, who I adore and I'm thankful for, I'd say one out of every three notes I'm getting right now is really cynicism.
00:05:52.000Well, it's important for one central reason, and that is we have to remind ourselves what's at stake.
00:05:58.000The whole reason that the regime is promoting this lie, this false narrative of January 6, is they're using the lie to justify the weaponization of the national security state domestically, politically, against their political enemies.
00:06:17.000What's at stake here is so long as they have this false narrative to point to, it makes it that much easier to throw you in prison for attending the next Trump rally.
00:06:28.000It makes it that much easier for the FBI to knock on your door for a social media post that's pro-Trump.
00:06:48.000Literally facing 10 years in prison for memes mocking Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
00:06:59.000Everything that they're trying to do, from in that case, trying to codify the disinformation scam into the criminal code to the January 6th Fed surrection narrative, which again, it works on multiple levels.
00:07:12.000On one level, it's an extension of the impeachment process, never-ending iteration of the impeachment process against Trump to cripple Trump's prospects politically.
00:07:23.000But more broadly, the purpose is to completely kneecap and neutralize the energies associated with Trump's movement, or for that matter, with any organic political movement that questions and challenges the corrupt regime in which we live.
00:07:40.000So there's so much at stake here in this narrative, and they've spent billions of dollars in reinforcing the false narrative.
00:07:50.000So for people to say it's not significant for the biggest and most popular cable news show in the country to spend time presenting the truth and never before seeing footage of this, I think it's a tremendous victory.
00:08:05.000This is something that the regime really hates more than anything else.
00:08:09.000Well, and just to defend our scorned listeners, I mean that lovingly, they have been treated terribly because they're like, they're ahead of the curve, right?
00:08:19.000And they must understand, though, Darren, millions of Americans are not.
00:08:24.000Like Elon Musk in real time is basically like, wow, I didn't know any of this.
00:08:29.000In real time, I just want our audience to know that now you have the world's richest man who is live tweeting and basically like, this is unbelievable.
00:09:21.000And it takes months and eventually we get to a place where finally it can then get into the zeitgeist in a packaged, convincing, persuasive way.
00:09:33.000And I'll just say one other thing that I think is really important.
00:09:35.000For anyone that thinks this doesn't mean anything, why would Chuck Schumer address it from the Senate floor the morning after if it was just some sort of, you know, meaningless cable television segment?
00:09:50.000What do you think was the most valuable piece of evidence that Tucker aired last evening?
00:09:56.000I'm going to stop short of what you learned because you kind of knew a lot of this.
00:10:00.000But what do you think was the most valuable thing that is now in the public arena that was not there previously?
00:10:08.000Well, I think his choice of examples is very well thought out because it really covers all the bases narratively of what we need to understand about January 6th.
00:10:21.000So first, he showed footage indicating and reinforcing the fact that overwhelming majority of the people, even who went into the Capitol, remember, most people didn't go in from the crowd, but of the people who went in, they were more like sightseers.
00:10:39.000Some were even kind of in awe of the experience of being able to go into the building.
00:10:44.000And it was just a handful of people who committed acts of vandalism.
00:10:50.000So I think the footage that reinforces the understanding that this wasn't this, you know, violent kind of display of disrespect toward the cabin.
00:11:04.000They're just kind of looking around, probably don't understand why the cops opened the doors to let them in, which is, you know, another thing that we saw.
00:11:13.000The second component, as I spoke about earlier, was showing Brian Sicknick and thereby reminding people of that first sort of the original sin of the Fed surrection lie was the lies that the media told surrounding the death of Brian Sicknick.
00:11:30.000So I thought he covered that very well.
00:11:32.000And then thirdly, and most controversially, but perhaps most importantly, what Revolver is known for is he showed footage of Ray Epps, which represents the aspect of the Fed surrection of federal involvement, federal instigation, federal provocation.
00:11:53.000And so I think he covered those three bases very well in the selection of footage presented last night.
00:12:49.000So Darren, you're obviously familiar with all of that.
00:12:51.000How does Ray Epps connect with what we learned on Tucker's program?
00:12:56.000Well, as I was saying, Epps representatively illustrates the dimension of the January 6th story, according to which there were key critical actors without whose participation this rally would not have turned into a riot.
00:13:16.000And Ray Epps is probably the most infamous of such actors.
00:13:20.000And I think the clip that Tucker showed exposed a contradiction between Ray Epps' stated testimony to the committee and what he was actually doing.
00:13:32.000And that underscores, I think, a very important dimension of this, which is Ray Epps is enjoying a phenomenal amount of protection, not only on the part of the Department of Justice, but on the January 6th committee and the media.
00:13:46.000And this level of protection for someone who was the former president of the Arizona chapter of the Oath Keepers, the demonized militia group associated with January 6th.
00:13:57.000Only person caught on camera demanding that people go into the Capitol in advance.
00:14:02.000The person who was there everywhere in January 6th, telling people to go to the Capitol, who's on camera whispering in someone's ear right before that initial breach occurs, whose behavior was so egregious that he was one of the first 20 people added to the FBI's most wanted list on January 6th.
00:14:22.000And all of a sudden, this guy becomes the only January 6th participant whom Adam Kinsinger will defend, about whom the New York Times will write a fully dedicated puff piece.
00:14:35.000This dramatic reversal simply lends itself to no innocent explanation.
00:14:41.000And that's why I've said in the past, and I think it's remains so, that Ray Epps is one of the two smoking guns of the Fed surrection, the other one being the pipe bomb case, which I've also spoken about.
00:14:54.000You and I have been in agreement on the pipe bomb and it has just disappeared.
00:14:59.000I wonder if there might be something Kevin McCarthy can release on that.
00:15:03.000I don't know if it's on Capitol Grounds.
00:16:12.000It can help with mental acuity, with memory.
00:16:15.000And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
00:16:20.000Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
00:16:24.000By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
00:16:33.000After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.
00:17:54.000Congratulations on some very big stories recently.
00:17:57.000The one that I want to start with is new emails show Dr. Fauci commissioned scientific paper in February 2020 to disprove Wuhan lab leak theory.
00:18:09.000My immediate takeaway is that while COVID was growing and growing as a threat against America, Fauci was more concerned about covering up the origins of the virus than actually looking into therapeutics or best practices to save Americans' lives.
00:18:30.000And you can see how deceptive he was with this particular paper is very telling because just a few weeks after he commissioned the paper and it was published, poo-pooing the virus, you know, lab leak theory, he stood up at the podium alongside then President Trump and told reporters about this paper, cited it as evidence that the virus did not leak from a lab,
00:18:59.000and then sort of pretended that he was at arm's length from it, pretended that he didn't know who the authors were, but that he would make it available to journalists.
00:19:09.000You know, this was part of a concerted effort to hose down that theory, which really was the most probable theory.
00:19:17.000And as time goes on, more and more of the intelligence services are agreeing with that assessment.
00:19:25.000So what was he trying to hide and why?
00:19:28.000Well, that's the question I want to explore with you, Miranda, is the why.
00:19:31.000We can only speculate, but based on your reporting and people you've talked to, why do you think Fauci was so focused?
00:19:38.000And by the way, not just him, but Francis Collins pressured him to go even harder on trying to change the narrative or just the facts on where the virus came from.
00:19:49.000Why was this such a big concern for them?
00:19:52.000Because you have to remember that there's this Frankenstein form of research manipulating viruses that's called gain of function research.
00:20:02.000And that had been banned by the, or there was a moratorium put on it by the Obama administration because there were a lot of scientists who were concerned that exactly what happened in Wuhan would happen, that there'd be this dangerous, man-made, man-manipulated virus would cause a pandemic.
00:20:22.000And so the moratorium happened and Fauci and I presume his boss at the NIH, Collins, decided to get around that ban by outsourcing gain of function research elsewhere.
00:20:36.000And they did that through a proxy, through a small, very bizarre nonprofit based in New York that did none of its own research that was run by an English, very bizarre guy called Peter Dazek.
00:20:51.000He was very friendly with EcoHealth Alliance.
00:20:56.000And, you know, we have photographs of Anthony Fauci with Peter Dasek.
00:21:14.000And so when it went wrong, as it appears it did, and there was a leak, which led to the pandemic, of course, Anthony Fauci didn't want his fingerprints anywhere near it.
00:21:27.000So he just, I believe, diverted eyes onto another route, which was the natural, you know, that it leaped from monkeys to pangolins or something.
00:21:39.000So, Miranda, I want you to indulge my current theory here for a second, because you did and are, you have done and are doing currently, is a better way to say it, the best reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:21:51.000Isn't it interesting, though, Miranda, that the playbook that was used for the Hunter Biden laptop seemed to actually have been used here, which is we get a bunch of people to write these expert-cited synthetic pieces of paper.
00:22:04.000Oh, 50 experts say that the Hunter Biden laptop seems like Russian disinformation.
00:22:09.000And it seems like it's the same blueprint, right?
00:22:11.000Same playbook that was used, but now we're learning that it was actually perfected nine months earlier in February with COVID, and then it was used in October for the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:22:29.000They used it with the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump.
00:22:33.000And I think what it is, is that in order to convince a gullible media to run your dishonest narrative, you have to give them something concrete to base a story around.
00:22:45.000So whether that's the fake letter from the 51 former Intel officials saying the laptop is Russian disinformation, whether it's a fake scientific paper that's been commissioned by Anthony Fauci without his fingerprints on it to claim that the Wuhan lab leak theory is bogus.
00:23:03.000Whatever it is, they need some sort of, they need the disinformation laundered through a seemingly legitimate outlet.
00:23:15.000And what does it say, Miranda, is just a tangent on that, that we have so many hyper-credentialed elites that are gleeful to sign their name onto shoddy documents.
00:23:29.000I mean, this is really something, isn't it?
00:23:33.000They're not held accountable, but it is a psychological operation tactic where people are more likely to believe Huffington Post that says 50 experts agree that it came from a bat.
00:23:47.000It really, what does it say about the status and health of the integrity of our elites?
00:23:58.000And we're also seeing the FBI and the intelligence services seemingly involved.
00:24:04.000But I think, you know, really, the central problem, the only way you can really could have really fixed this is to have a proper media that was skeptical about, you know, there have always been attempts, these psyop, remember during Iraq, the Iraq war, and so on.
00:24:22.000There always, there's disinformation by the government and they launder it various ways.
00:24:27.000You need an honest media that's, you know, in the cliche speaking truth to power, that is skeptical, that goes to other sources, that doesn't just gullibly repeat the line from the government.
00:24:39.000I think that's where we're in a really dangerous situation.
00:24:43.000You have, people call it corporate media, but you basically have these co-opted former respected brands in media that are now just mouthpieces for the Democratic Party or the uni party.
00:25:00.000Yeah, they're Democrat super PACs with newspapers, and that's basically what they've become.
00:25:05.000And I don't think it's a sustainable business model.
00:25:08.000I hope that the coming recession treats them harshly because these companies, they are doing such damage to the integrity of our country.
00:25:16.000I want to get to another story here that you've been covering, Miranda, which is really important.
00:25:21.000This other one here from the New York Post footage shows that Capital Cop Brian Sicknick uninjured on January 6th.
00:25:29.000Tell us what we've learned and why does this matter?
00:25:33.000Well, this is part of the footage that Speaker McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy, gave to Tucker Carlson.
00:25:41.000And it shows Brian Sicknick, who has been cynically co-opted by Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden as their kind of proof of a deadly insurrection on January 6th.
00:25:52.000It shows him walking around perfectly healthy after the violence has finished on January 6th.
00:26:00.000So the story that he was beaten to death with, you know, fire extinguishers, which the New York Times only retracted sort of weeks after they'd made that story.
00:26:14.000And I think what it shows you is that Brian Sicknick, who was a Trump supporter, whose memory has been sullied by being used as a weapon for the Democrats, I think it just puts a little bit more truth into that story.
00:26:30.000He died of a stroke the following day.
00:26:32.000He was perfectly appeared to be perfectly healthy in this surveillance footage.
00:26:36.000It just confirms what we already know and confirms the lies that were told by the Democrats.
00:26:44.000Yeah, and it's really troubling because one of the adjectives that was used repeatedly, Miranda, is deadly insurrection, deadly insurrection.
00:26:54.000And if they're talking about Ashley Babbitt, yeah, this was a deadly insurrection, but it wasn't deadly in the way that they were talking, you know, or mentioning.
00:27:07.000Miranda, thank you for your great work.
00:29:24.000Charlie, why do you read the New York Times?
00:29:25.000Because I want to know what the intelligentsia is saying.
00:29:28.000It's also the, I think it has the most circulation of any newspaper in the country.
00:29:32.000Actually, the Wall Street Journal might have more.
00:29:33.000But anyway, you should know what the other side is saying.
00:29:36.000So the New York Times says new intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nordstream pipeline last year, a step towards determining responsibility for an act of sabotage that has confounded investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months.
00:29:56.000U.S. officials say they have no evidence.
00:29:59.000They had no evidence that Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation or that perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukraine government officials.
00:30:09.000So they say any suggestion of Ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect, could upset the delicate balance between Ukraine and Germany.
00:31:16.000And again, I am no Navy, I'm no diving expert.
00:31:19.000I don't quite, not even close, but to get 1,000 pounds underwater exactly where you need them to go, that sounds sophisticated.
00:31:31.000That's not exactly something that a bunch of amateurs could do, based on everything I've read and everything that I understand.
00:31:39.000It's more than 150 feet underwater, so it's way deeper than just recreational scuba diving.
00:31:46.000And so it definitely have to be somebody that understands not just the pressure involved in that, which is significant, but how to move product, not just product, how to move a payload at 150 feet deep, and it goes right.
00:32:43.000So remember, German Chancellor Schulz was in DC last week, and the press was all in a tizzy because they didn't hold a joint press conference.
00:32:52.000There was no pomp and circumstance, which is the norm.
00:32:54.000Remember, Germany is supposed to be a big ally of ours.
00:32:57.000Well, it's because Germany is really upset at Joe Biden.
