The Charlie Kirk Show - The Great Capitol Cover-Up with Raheem Kassam and Kimberly Fletcher

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, this is Andrew Colvett, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, filling in for Charlie on this wonderful, beautiful Friday.

00:00:08.000 In this hour, we have Kimberly Fletcher from Moms for America, and she has a fascinating story about they are rolling out FCC standards across all the schools.

00:00:17.000 You're going to want to get involved in that effort.

00:00:19.000 It makes so much sense.

00:00:20.000 And we talk about why the left is hell-bent on separating parents from their children.

00:00:25.000 We also talked with Raheem Kassam about a bombshell scoop that he got, a leaked interview that Fox refused to air involving Stephen Son, the former chief of the Capitol Hill Police, who says it was a cover-up, that JSIX was a cover-up.

00:00:40.000 We're going to play that footage and get Raheem's take on what the footage actually shows because he's not allowed to publish all of it, but he can publish some of it, but he's seen all of it.

00:00:49.000 So he has that scoop for us.

00:00:50.000 Don't go anywhere.

00:00:51.000 Buckle up. 0.96

00:00:52.000 Here we go.

00:00:53.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:54.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:56.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:00.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:03.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:04.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:05.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:12.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:14.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:22.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:26.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:34.000 In 2021, Virginia became ground zero for the parent-led backlash against CRT and the trans propaganda in schools.

00:01:44.000 You know, we're told that Virginia is a blue state now, but what we saw was that Governor Junckin, now Governor Yunkin, was able to ride this parental empowerment wave into the governor's mansion in that state.

00:01:58.000 And what we realize is that even in supposedly blue states like Virginia, that parents are deeply, deeply hostile to the most radical parts of the leftist ideology.

00:02:11.000 And that's why we have a Republican governor in the state of Virginia.

00:02:13.000 So last year, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill requiring parents to be informed whenever explicit material is taught in a classroom.

00:02:23.000 And naturally, the left is having a complete and utter meltdown.

00:02:28.000 So to walk us through this back and forth that really is ground zero for this entire debate is Kimberly Fletcher, Moms for America. 0.60

00:02:36.000 Kimberly, welcome to the show.

00:02:38.000 Hey, thanks for having me.

00:02:40.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:02:41.000 So I mean, I'm looking through this.

00:02:43.000 I was doing my research on this yesterday.

00:02:45.000 And I mean, this group of people that are opposing this bill is like the who's who of the leftist alliance.

00:02:52.000 It's crazy.

00:02:53.000 It's, I mean, it's a bunch of Marxist organizations.

00:02:55.000 So you've got PLP, Pride Liberation Project.

00:02:58.000 You've got the NAACP, the Fairfax Alliance for Black Educators, Safe Space NOVA, and FCPS Pride employees.

00:03:09.000 What are they?

00:03:10.000 What could possibly animate these people so much to fight a law that simply says that parents get to know when sexually explicit materials in the libraries in their classrooms?

00:03:22.000 Well, they fear parents.

00:03:23.000 And this is one of the things that I've been, you know, telling moms for years.

00:03:26.000 When you know that they can't even say the name, that they're calling us birthing people and chest fears, you know, they fear us when they can't even say the name.

00:03:34.000 They know that what they want is the hearts and minds of our children.

00:03:37.000 And we're standing right in the way of that.

00:03:38.000 And that's why we're passing bills like this.

00:03:40.000 And just like the one we did in Texas with the FCC standard bill, is what we're pushing across the country.

00:03:46.000 If you can't show it on TV and you can't air it on the radio, you should not have it in a classroom.

00:03:50.000 And that's what parents in Virginia said when all of these things started to come to light that they were realizing their children were being exposed to.

00:03:58.000 And in this specific case, we have moms who report these things to us all the time. 1.00

00:04:04.000 And just to give you an idea of what we're dealing with, a mother sent the letter to us of what they were receiving from the school asking them if they were okay with their children having this content.

00:04:18.000 And this is what the question was: are you okay with your five and six-year-old being exposed to this content, which was to include sexual bestiality, nerdy, sexual excitement, and sadomastochistic abuse?

00:04:33.000 Now, I'm sorry, but they don't even need that in college.

00:04:37.000 Why are we pushing that on elementary schools and high schools? 0.95

00:04:40.000 Five-year-olds.

00:04:41.000 So, obviously, the law is doing its job when it's out there, making sure that parents are aware of what their children are being exposed to so that they can say, no, we are not okay with our five-year-olds being exposed to this.

00:04:54.000 Yeah, I mean, it seems like common sense, Kimberly.

00:04:58.000 I don't understand where the controversy is.

00:05:00.000 I'm actually, but I'm one of those people that looks at like, you know, the law in Florida, the quote-unquote, don't say gay law, as not going far enough.

00:05:07.000 I mean, that was only protecting, you know, up through third grade.

00:05:10.000 I'm like, to your point, it's like, you don't even need these books in college.

00:05:14.000 I don't understand where the controversy is.

00:05:16.000 Okay, grown adults can make their own decisions.

00:05:18.000 We're not trying to necessarily litigate that here.

00:05:21.000 But I want to get to this issue of what they describe as a book ban, Kimberly.

00:05:26.000 So the left always likes to say that we're banning books.

00:05:31.000 And it always amazes me because if you put the shoe on the other foot, it's such a simple retort.

00:05:38.000 It's, you know, do you want Mein Kampf taught in your schools?

00:05:41.000 Do you want eugenics? 0.93

00:05:43.000 Do you want genital mutilation taught? 0.93

00:05:46.000 Well, they might want that nowadays.

00:05:49.000 Is this a book ban, Kimberly?

00:05:51.000 What are moms for America, what are you advocating for? 1.00

00:05:53.000 I know this FCC thing, do you disagree with that characterization?

00:05:57.000 Well, you're not banning books when you are just protecting children.

00:06:01.000 There's book ban.

00:06:02.000 We're just saying, listen, if it is a quality material, great.

00:06:06.000 I mean, honestly, the other side is the one who's been banning the books, making a list of things that have to do with, you know, George Washington or our founding fathers or American history.

00:06:15.000 They don't want that to be taught.

00:06:17.000 And we're saying we welcome that.

00:06:19.000 What we're saying is that if a child cannot watch it on TV, they cannot hear it on the radio because they have all of these FCC regulations in place to protect children from obscene material.

00:06:34.000 Why are we allowing it in the classroom and shoving it in our kids' faces?

00:06:40.000 I had someone the other day who said, you keep saying it's grooming.

00:06:43.000 I don't understand what grooming is.

00:06:45.000 You know exactly what it is.

00:06:46.000 It is preparing children to be sexualized.

00:06:50.000 If you go to our website, FCCstandard.com, it has the whole entire regulations for the FCC standard.

00:06:58.000 It has excerpts from federal law that talks about the grooming of children and the sexualization of them and how it is preparing them for future sexual activity.

00:07:07.000 So they're doing it.

00:07:08.000 That's what they're doing.

00:07:09.000 And what we're saying is that does not belong in school.

00:07:12.000 And it's not even just the books.

00:07:13.000 This is about what is in the books, what is in the classroom, what comes out of an adult's mouth, and what is in digital learning.

00:07:20.000 And that's the FCC standard that we're pushing.

00:07:22.000 Just follow the same FC standards that we have today as federal law.

00:07:28.000 And let's follow those same standards in the classroom and in our schools so that our children have a good quality education instead of it being used as an indoctrination camp and grooming for sexualization.

00:07:39.000 Yeah, Kimberly, say that website again, the FCC one, so our listeners and audience can go visit that website.

00:07:47.000 It is FCCstandard.com.

00:07:51.000 And we even have a letter on there that you can download and send to your legislators.

00:07:54.000 We've done all the work for you.

00:07:56.000 Just find a sponsor, get the bill going.

00:07:59.000 We have the Texas bill that was passed.

00:08:01.000 We have it's in Louisiana passed through both houses, waiting the governor's signature.

00:08:06.000 It was introduced in Tennessee.

00:08:07.000 Eight other states, it's being introduced.

00:08:09.000 And all the laws will be different, but the standard is the same.

00:08:13.000 If you cannot show it on TV and you can't have it on the radio, you can't have it in the classroom.

00:08:19.000 Super simple.

00:08:20.000 So, Kimberly, let me ask you, this law in Virginia, is it popular?

00:08:25.000 Amongst parents, absolutely.

00:08:27.000 Obviously, lawmakers.

00:08:28.000 And it's a really good point that we should make right now.

00:08:31.000 If we did not, if we as parents had not elected lawmakers who are committed to parental rights and protecting our children, it is very unlikely that we would have a type of law like this.

00:08:42.000 And that's proof because the other states like Illinois and California, they're doing the exact opposite.

00:08:48.000 They're saying parents' rights don't matter and we're going to do whatever we want to your children.

00:08:52.000 And it's a travesty of what's happening.

00:08:55.000 So we need to make sure as parents, mothers specifically, you care about your children.

00:09:00.000 Then, you know, our men have been out there doing the voting and that's great.

00:09:04.000 But we need two votes to coming our way.

00:09:06.000 So we need you, moms, to go out there, get registered, vote your values so that we have more laws like this and we can protect our children in the classroom. 0.95

00:09:15.000 This is a very powerful tool that has now been given to parents where we now have the knowledge because the schools are now required to tell us what our children are being exposed to.

00:09:24.000 The Virginia law is brilliant.

00:09:25.000 It's model legislation.

00:09:27.000 Definitely fits the FCC standard.

00:09:29.000 And we need to have this across the country.

00:09:32.000 I mean, I couldn't agree with you more.

00:09:34.000 The Marxist, the totalitarian left has always wanted to separate children from their parents.

00:09:39.000 Why?

00:09:40.000 Because parents are the holders of tradition, of values, of faith, the things that are in our lives that make us independent, sovereign beings.

00:09:50.000 And they want to sever those ties.

00:09:52.000 And the work that you guys are doing at Moms for America, Kimberly, is so, so important.

00:09:57.000 You know, we have a lot of moms that are watching this, a lot of grandmas that watch this.

00:10:01.000 And this is a perfect way for you guys to get involved.

00:10:04.000 You know, go to FCCStandard.com.

00:10:07.000 Help out.

00:10:08.000 This is a no, it's a common sense rule.

00:10:14.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:15.000 Every day we hear about another familiar brand selling out their customers and going woke.

00:10:20.000 Americans are sick and tired of having left-wing propaganda jammed in every product they consume.

00:10:24.000 Woke mobile companies are no different.

00:10:27.000 For years, they've been dumping millions into liberal causes, and we had to take it because you need a cell phone and probably thought there was no alternative.

00:11:16.000 I want to read a quote, Kimberly, to you.

00:11:20.000 This is attributed to Lennon.

00:11:22.000 Now, we are 99% sure this is actually factual because we doubted it.

00:11:27.000 It seemed too on the nose.

00:11:28.000 He said, give me four years to teach and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

00:11:37.000 Kimberly, chilling words, no doubt, but I think it's something we're all very well aware is happening is that they see the next generation.

00:11:45.000 They want to indoctrinate the next generation and create a bunch of Marxists, a little Marxist army.

00:11:51.000 Now, some of that is backfiring.

00:11:53.000 Have polling that shows that young men are more conservative than they've been since the 1970s, which is pretty remarkable.

00:11:59.000 Young women, a lot of work to do. 1.00

00:12:01.000 What is this maniacal drive?

00:12:04.000 Do you think amongst educators specifically?

00:12:06.000 And we see this in the teachers' unions.

00:12:08.000 They are in the bag for the Democrat Party.

00:12:11.000 It's obvious.

00:12:12.000 They fund them.

00:12:13.000 There is a very clear handshake going on there.

00:12:17.000 What is driving this?

00:12:18.000 Why are educators so prone to this leftist ideology?

00:12:23.000 Well, they're being trained in college to adopt the ideology, and that's a problem.

00:12:30.000 I have my niece who was going to school to be a teacher.

00:12:35.000 Her mother was a teacher, and she taught for 30 years.

00:12:39.000 And the last 10 years, she was in the library services.

00:12:41.000 So I was visiting with her a couple of years ago, and we were just having a conversation, and somehow it came up about the gender-bred person.

00:12:47.000 And I don't know if your listeners are familiar with that, but the genderbred person, they use a beloved character to help children understand.

00:12:55.000 They call it a classical way to help children understand gender ideology.

00:12:59.000 And it points to their genitals, their heart, and their mind, how they feel, what they were born with, and how they identify and who they love. 0.64

00:13:07.000 And it's like, okay, they actually moved from the genderbred person to the gender unicorn because they felt like the genderbred person was too masculine.

00:13:16.000 So they've been pushing this on our kids for 20 years.

00:13:19.000 It's been in the schools.

00:13:20.000 Maybe you haven't seen it, but your children and grandchildren have.

00:13:23.000 And it's flooding everywhere.

00:13:25.000 So we're sitting there having a conversation.

00:13:27.000 And I asked my sister-in-law if she heard about that.

00:13:29.000 And she said, no.

00:13:30.000 My niece, who's sitting on the couch, said, Yeah, I have.

00:13:34.000 She goes into her room and comes back with her notebook where she had an assignment in college where she had drawn out the whole entire genderbred choir, which is put together by a guy named Metrosexual.

00:13:46.000 So, I mean, they're teaching the kids in school.

00:13:48.000 And whether or not they are doing it purposely or because they have been led to believe that this is the facts, they're doing it.

00:13:58.000 And the younger the teachers are, the more concerns you need to have for your children because they are going through the same system and they are learning these same things.

00:14:06.000 So that's one side of it.

00:14:08.000 The other side of it is that they are literally using our children.

00:14:12.000 They are weaponizing our children against our country and against our families.

00:14:16.000 They are being taught every day to hate their country, hate their neighbor, and hate themselves and completely disenfranchise from their parents.

00:14:23.000 This is what the three most horrific disputes in history did: Mao, Stalin, Hitler.

00:14:31.000 They all did this.

00:14:32.000 And that's one of the reasons why we go around teaching our mama bear training because we want moms to understand what we're facing is bigger than what you think.

00:14:40.000 Where we are living right now is Stalin's Russia, Hitler's Germany, and Mao's China.

00:14:45.000 And exactly what they did in using the children is what they're doing today.

00:14:51.000 So this is they're using the organizations like the teachers' unions and the NCAA and you name it, ACLU, all these organizations out there.

00:15:01.000 They're using them to destroy the republic.

00:15:04.000 And when you start connecting the dots with everything that's going on, they're trying to take the identity away from our children.

00:15:09.000 They're infiltrating our schools and our classrooms.

00:15:11.000 They're taking our history away. 0.97

00:15:12.000 You connect all the dots to one objective: kill God and enslave the people. 0.99

00:15:18.000 That's what the objective is. 0.98

00:15:19.000 And they're using our children to do it.

00:15:21.000 And what they are doing is like putting our children on the altars of Babylon.

00:15:25.000 It is absolutely horrific what they are putting our children through.

00:15:28.000 The things that they're being taught, the transgender push that they're doing, they are lost. 1.00

00:15:34.000 They are totally lost.

00:15:35.000 And we need to connect with them and help them realize what their identity truly is and counter these nefarious players, if you will, that are coming after them.

00:15:45.000 Their goal is our children.

00:15:47.000 Yeah, no, I just want to commend you, Kimberly.

00:15:50.000 I mean, you guys are fearless, and you are really the tip of the spear on this mama bear uprising that we saw in 2021 and partly in 2022.

00:15:59.000 It's still going on.

00:16:00.000 I mean, we're seeing, you know, there was a big fight between parents in Glendale, California.

00:16:04.000 I mean, this is nationwide.

00:16:07.000 You know, I just want to underscore what we're talking about here.

00:16:10.000 Joe Biden, you know, recently said, he said, you've heard me say it many times about our children, but it's true.

00:16:15.000 They are all our children.

00:16:18.000 And the reason you are the teachers of the year is because you recognize that.

00:16:22.000 He was doing it at a celebration for teachers of the year.

00:16:26.000 Now, this is so key.

00:16:29.000 I mean, they really do want to get rid of faith.

00:16:32.000 They want to get rid of traditional values.

00:16:34.000 They want to get rid of the traditional family. 0.99

00:16:36.000 And it's groups like Moms for America that are fighting back.

00:16:38.000 So thank you, Kimberly.

00:16:40.000 Thank you for everything you do.

00:16:41.000 And thank you for joining the show.

00:17:54.000 Thank you for having me back.

00:17:56.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:17:57.000 Raheem, I mentioned briefly, I am jealous of this scoop.

00:18:03.000 I wish I could get the inside tail of how you actually got your hands on this footage.

00:18:08.000 We were with Tucker Carlson in Florida at ActCon a couple of weeks ago.

00:18:15.000 And Charlie had an interview with him.

00:18:17.000 So we were talking behind the scenes and he mentioned this footage.

00:18:20.000 He said, I sat down with Stephen's son.

00:18:22.000 It was an explosive interview.

00:18:24.000 And Tucker is vowing that he's going to get him back on and sit him down, I guess, on Twitter eventually.

00:18:30.000 But you got the footage before anybody else did.

00:18:33.000 Tell us about it.

00:18:34.000 It's truly explosive what the allegations are.

00:18:37.000 And we're going to unpack that together.

00:18:39.000 What did you find out when you reviewed this footage?

00:18:42.000 Yeah, you know, I heard the same thing that Tucker Carlson said when he was talking to Russell Brand about the explosive nature of this interview.

00:18:51.000 And as somebody who has followed January 6th, you know, since walking past the Capitol building with none other than our mutual friend Jack Miserbic that morning on January the 6th, we walked down from the old war room studio down the hill.

00:19:09.000 We looked at the crowd as it was gathering at the Capitol from the rooftop of 101 Constitution Avenue.

00:19:18.000 For the people that know it, that gives you a massive sprawling view of that.

00:19:22.000 And we started to hear the first altercations take place between police and protesters and in the immediate aftermath.

00:19:30.000 Obviously, I was fascinated and gripped by the story like anyone else, but it's not a stretch to say that it literally occurred on my doorstep as a Capitol Hill resident.

00:19:40.000 We then experienced months of the Capitol being locked down.

00:19:45.000 We experienced the Razor Wire, the National Guard.

00:19:48.000 We experienced the lies that were being told by the January 6th committee, by AOC, by the corporate media.

00:19:55.000 And so, you know, it's sort of fate and kismet for this interview to have landed in my lap.

00:20:03.000 And I have to tell you, Tucker is not stretching the truth in any way when he talks about how explosive this is.

00:20:11.000 Now, obviously, for particular reasons, legal reasons and so on and so forth, we can't just dump the entire interview out, but we can report on it as fair use on fair use grounds.

00:20:25.000 And the stuff that we're pulling out of it here that we've reported over the last two days truly goes to the heart of what happened that day and truly goes to the heart of what Stephen Sun himself, in his own words, called the cover-up.

00:20:37.000 People will recall that this was the chief of Capitol Police, 30 years of experience in the police force, who was tossed out the next day by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and replaced with somebody who was fundamentally untrained and ill-equipped.

00:20:51.000 There was no handover process.

00:20:52.000 Jorgenander Pittman took over as chief of the Capitol Police in the following days, having really never done that job before.

00:21:00.000 I've been going through more of the interview today because the last couple of days we've just been doing in chronological order.

00:21:06.000 What are they talking about?

00:21:08.000 Getting to the detail of it.

00:21:10.000 There is a GAO report, Government Accountability Office report that goes into excruciating detail about the events on that day.

00:21:22.000 And so we're cross-referencing everything that Sons tells Tucker, fact-checking it, verifying it, seeing where we can get other bits of information that are in the public interest, right?

00:21:35.000 Especially given the indictment of a former president over the matter, that taxpayers and voters in the United States, citizens and stakeholders alike, they need to know this information.

00:21:47.000 And so that's what we're doing today, right after I get off this interview with you.

00:21:51.000 We're going to drop the third installment from this interview.

00:21:56.000 And I have to say, it's probably the most shocking yet.

00:22:01.000 Okay, now I'm really jealous, Raheem.

00:22:05.000 But I do want to give our audience a taste of what we are talking about here.

00:22:11.000 Now, it's a little bit grainy, the footage is a little choppy.

00:22:15.000 Bear with us.

00:22:16.000 I mean, this was leaked to Raheem, so have, you know, understand that in advance.

00:22:20.000 Let's go to the cover-up clip.

00:22:22.000 I think this is the one that's getting the most headlines and sort of attention.

00:22:26.000 Play 126.

00:22:29.000 If people were reporting the intelligence correctly, if I was allowed to do my job as the chief, I got a significant experience.

00:22:36.000 If I was allowed to do my job as the chief, we wouldn't be here today.

00:22:40.000 This didn't happen.

00:22:41.000 Then see how you're land-based in public.

00:22:45.000 And it's all, you know, everything appears to be a cover-up.

00:22:48.000 Like I said, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but when you look at the information the intelligence military had, it's all watered down.

00:22:56.000 My intelligence denied support National Guard in advance.

00:22:59.000 I'm denied National Guard while we're under attack for 71 minutes.

00:23:05.000 Explosive stuff there, Raheem.

00:23:06.000 Now, again, it was choppy, so let's just reiterate what he said.

00:23:09.000 A cover-up.

00:23:10.000 Now, is he specifically referencing what happened before J6, or is he saying how they whitewashed it afterwards?

00:23:19.000 Well, he's actually talking about all of it.

00:23:22.000 And, you know, the context of the interview makes that very clear.

00:23:26.000 But what Stephen Sun is talking about here is a number of things on the run-up to January 6th, where he says intelligence was simply not shared with him in a normal fashion.

00:23:35.000 He's been doing this job for years.

00:23:37.000 He's been in the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. for years before he took over Capitol Police, which is a separate unit tasked specifically with the security of the nation's capital and the Capitol grounds.

00:23:51.000 The cover-up that he refers to applies to the lead-up.

00:23:56.000 It applies to the day itself, where you heard him there talking about, you know, we were fighting, physically fighting with people for 71 plus minutes before we got our backup.

00:24:09.000 He's also talking about what happened afterwards.

00:24:11.000 He doesn't mince his words when he talks about the January 6th Committee.

00:24:14.000 And in fact, he specifically in the interview takes aim at the January 6th committee for failing to interview him publicly and putting his statements that he did make to them behind closed doors on the public record.

00:24:26.000 That was another thing that people are not aware of.

00:24:28.000 Again, just for the audience out there, remind yourself of this.

00:24:33.000 This is the chief of the Capitol Hill Police on January the 6th.

00:24:39.000 And they fired him immediately.

00:24:41.000 Well, they didn't give him the resources he needed, didn't share intelligence with him.

00:24:45.000 He didn't get a joint intelligence briefing in advance, what they call a jib, which is totally normal for every other major protest that takes place in Washington, D.C.

00:24:56.000 He specifically mentions in the piece that we've got coming out this afternoon the IMF protests.

00:25:01.000 He specifically mentions the protests at the Bush inauguration.

00:25:04.000 And he said, for whatever reason, the intelligence agencies, including the FBI and the Department for Homeland Security, specifically avoided normal protocol and normal procedures for January the 6th.

00:25:17.000 And, you know, this is extraordinary stuff when you think about the implications it has for not just the country, of course, and the next election, but for a former president like Donald J. Trump to be facing charges associated with January 6th, but the committee report doesn't even cite publicly the Capitol Hill police chief.

00:25:42.000 That's the cover-up he's talking about.

00:25:45.000 Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

00:25:46.000 I mean, we, I remember Charlie tweeted out some time ago, this is pre-Musk, that Trump had authorized 10,000 National Guard troops.

00:25:56.000 Instantly, it was flagged, put it on Instagram.

00:26:00.000 It was got a strike on it.

00:26:02.000 I think Donald Don Jr. retweeted it.

00:26:05.000 He got fact-checked, all of this stuff.

00:26:07.000 So, but that's true, is it not, Raheem, that this actually the troops were authorized, they declined his authorization.

00:26:15.000 Is that not true?

00:26:17.000 Yeah, we reported that pretty shortly after January the 6th.

00:26:22.000 You know, some of the old national pulse reporting on this stuff, you can go back to it now and be like, you know, holy crap, how did they know that?

00:26:29.000 How did they report that?

00:26:30.000 And why did nobody else pick it up at the time?

00:26:33.000 You know, here we are years later, and we're just sort of discovering, you know, officially what some of us reported years ago.

00:26:40.000 And again, it didn't take much.

00:26:42.000 I'm not claiming to have been a genius.

00:26:44.000 I just actually did the research.

00:26:46.000 You know, being on the Hill helped and helped do all of that.

00:26:51.000 But it was evident.

00:26:52.000 And I believe that the acting defense secretary at the time confirmed it.

00:26:57.000 Said that, yeah, Donald Trump had specifically said that there has to be 10,000 National Guard stationed in Washington, D.C. on that day.

00:27:04.000 I actually have an editor's note up about that in one of our recent stories about Trump's most recent indictment.

00:27:15.000 This is not a secret anymore.

00:27:16.000 And what happened was that Trump said, yeah, you're going to need it.

00:27:20.000 Stephen's son said, We're going to need it.

00:27:23.000 And Nancy Pelosi, The House Sergeant-at-Arms, Paul Irving, and a number of others who were involved in that decision-making process just said no.

00:27:35.000 They said, We don't like the optics of it, was the reason that they gave.

00:27:38.000 We don't like the optics of having National Guard stationed in Washington, D.C. during this protest, even though the President of the United States himself had said, Listen, you know, there may be some kickoffs here between MAGA supporters and Antifa supporters, and you are going to need security at that scale.

00:27:55.000 No, they said no.

00:27:56.000 What's really interesting, though, is what happened immediately the day after January 6th.

00:28:01.000 Optics stopped mattering.

00:28:03.000 You know, they put two layers of fencing outside the Capitol.

00:28:09.000 They put heavily armed National Guard.

00:28:12.000 I mean, outside my house, by the way, they were all up the street, all across the Capitol district.

00:28:18.000 The optics did matter, but for the opposite reason.

00:28:23.000 Let's put this image back up, guys.

00:28:25.000 The image of the guy I love to hate, Michael Fanon, flipping off the, yes, that's the one.

00:28:34.000 So, this is one of the pieces of evidence that we have, right?

00:28:39.000 This guy has been scrubbed. 0.99

00:28:41.000 He's been presented as a saint, but he's obviously a total douchebag. 0.64

00:28:45.000 We also now know that Stevenson was not given intelligence briefings before J6.

00:28:54.000 We also know that Donald Trump approved up to 10,000 National Guard troops.

00:28:59.000 He said peacefully and patriotically.

00:29:02.000 We also know that there was intelligence assets on the ground.

00:29:07.000 And where the heck did this Michael Fanon guy come from? 0.85

00:29:10.000 He's a complete dirtbag, and yet he's looped in with the Democrat insider establishment. 0.79

00:29:15.000 Now, I don't understand how we conclude anything other than the fact that there are powers that be, and I don't know how widespread it is. 0.93

00:29:24.000 We don't know if everybody was in on it.

00:29:26.000 The truth is, is that it is most likely that there were players, maybe it was within the intelligence communities, that wanted to see if they could provoke this type of situation to happen on January 6th.

00:29:45.000 They put the pieces on the chessboard in play to help whoop up those that were there to protest and support Donald Trump.

00:29:55.000 And it played out almost perfectly as you might suspect.

00:30:00.000 Now, Rahim, he was just teasing.

00:30:04.000 There are, in fact, intelligence, there were intelligence assets on the ground on J6.

00:30:11.000 This is something that we've heard about, but when you hear it from Stephen's son's own mouth, that's when it starts to take on a new complexion.

00:30:20.000 And look what they've done since.

00:30:22.000 Look what they've done since.

00:30:24.000 Jack Smith's indictment is just the latest shoe to drop.

00:30:28.000 They formed a J6 committee, which basically wrote the script for this newest indictment.

00:30:34.000 Over 1,100 J6ers have been criminally charged for their actions on that day, most nonviolent. 1.00

00:30:45.000 We knew it the day of.

00:30:49.000 I remember being actually in the chair next to Charlie in Phoenix, Arizona, when this broke out.

00:30:55.000 We were all ready to cover the proceedings on J6 to see if the vice president was going to send some of these state electors back to the states for an audit or to be confirmed.

00:31:08.000 And we watched as a senator, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, stood up to join the objections in the House.

00:31:16.000 And then, sure enough, we start getting these reports.

00:31:19.000 And we called it that day.

00:31:20.000 We said, go home, get out of there.

00:31:22.000 They're going to use this.

00:31:25.000 We haven't even seen that last week, by the way.

00:31:27.000 They're going to use this to weaponize the government against citizens, against conservatives. 0.57

00:31:34.000 You have to get out of there.

00:31:35.000 Sure enough, unfortunately, folks, it's been a tragic tale of how the government has been completely weaponized.

00:31:42.000 And their main excuse is what happened on J6.

00:31:45.000 And now it's looking increasingly likely that they might have fomented some of this activity on J6.

00:31:52.000 Increasingly likely.
