00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, Libby Emmons and Darren Beattie.
00:00:03.000 We talk about the latest Biden news.
00:00:05.000 Who planted the pipe bombs?
00:00:06.000 That question keeps coming up and more.
00:00:08.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:10.000 Get involved with TurningPoint Action at tpaction.com.
00:00:13.000 That is tpaction.com.
00:00:15.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:16.000 Here we go.
00:00:17.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:18.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:21.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:28.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:29.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:38.000 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.
00:00:46.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:49.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:00:58.000 Joining us now is Libby Emmons, Human Events and the Postmillennial.
00:01:03.000 So Libby, this Hunter stuff can be very confusing.
00:01:06.000 I want to take an appropriate amount of time, walk through the timeline and the sequence of events.
00:01:11.000 Libby Emmons.
00:01:13.000 In November 2019, I believe the FBI received a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop from a Delaware repair shop where Hunter Biden had left his laptop to be repaired.
00:01:26.000 The laptop stayed there for far longer than the terms of service at the repair shop.
00:01:33.000 And the repairman took a look at it, discovered what it was and contacted the FBI.
00:01:38.000 He held on to a copy of it himself.
00:01:40.000 So the FBI had that laptop in their possession.
00:01:45.000 The repairman assumed that there would be an investigation into it after having seen himself some of what was on it.
00:01:51.000 And then the FBI sat on it.
00:01:53.000 They just sat on the laptop.
00:01:55.000 They did not dig into it.
00:01:56.000 Or if they did dig into it, they certainly didn't launch any kind of formal investigation into it where these allegations that were indicated could be proven by the laptop were at all shown.
00:02:09.000 So that's pretty interesting that the FBI just held on to this thing, didn't do anything with it.
00:02:15.000 And then we can see from the Twitter files that were released by Michael Schellenberger that Matt Taibbi were working on that in September of 2020, the FBI started talking to social media companies, specifically Twitter, talking to Twitter about what they should do in the event that there was a Russian disinformation campaign that emerged, hypothetically,
00:02:45.000 in the form of something that was reported to be a laptop from Hunter Biden.
00:02:50.000 So the FBI was talking to Twitter about this.
00:02:53.000 This was at the Aspen Institute.
00:02:56.000 Twitter executives were all on board this hypothetical problem, trying to figure it out what they would do, how they would deal with Russian disinformation in the form of Hunter Biden's laptop, which then, of course, that gets into their head.
00:03:08.000 Oh, a laptop could drop that is actually Russian disinformation.
00:03:13.000 And they could be claiming that it's from Hunter Biden based on this hypothetical.
00:03:18.000 Shortly thereafter, in October, Emma Joe Morris, the New York Post, broke the story of Hunter Biden's laptop, that she had obtained that laptop.
00:03:27.000 She had taken a very close look at it.
00:03:29.000 Did not release the salacious images right away, but was really digging into the influence peddling, the shady business dealings, what the Bidens knew when about what, the money that was going on there.
00:03:43.000 And of course, we had heard plenty from Joe Biden about how he didn't get involved in his son's business dealings, never spoken to him about it, didn't know anything about it.
00:03:53.000 After the story broke in the New York Post, famously, at this point, Twitter censored and suppressed that story.
00:04:00.000 I believe the New York Post account was locked for a time.
00:04:03.000 Facebook followed suit and they started saying that this was Russian disinformation.
00:04:10.000 Jen Stocky, who was then working with the Biden campaign, later went on to be press secretary, reported on Twitter that this was Russian disinfo.
00:04:20.000 Also, the Biden campaign contacted a sympathetic Intel guy and said, hey, you know, don't you think this has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation?
00:04:31.000 This laptop story has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.
00:04:35.000 That sympathetic Intel guy reached out to a bunch of his pals in the Intel community and they drafted a memo saying that it had the hallmark of Russian disinformation.
00:04:49.000 Politico obtained that memo.
00:04:51.000 They said outright that this memo showed that the laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:04:58.000 I believe they eventually changed their headline.
00:05:00.000 I don't recall exactly.
00:05:02.000 But then we had out there that the laptop is Russian disinformation.
00:05:07.000 All of these sources trying to discredit the New York Post.
00:05:10.000 The New York Post, however, could not be discredited because the laptop was accurate.
00:05:15.000 You had major media companies.
00:05:16.000 And of course, this is right in the lead up to the 2020 election, crucial, crucial time for this to be going on.
00:05:23.000 NPR issued a report about the reasons they would not report on Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:05:30.000 The New York Times did similar things.
00:05:32.000 All of these major companies came out and started saying it was Russian disinformation and they would not be reporting on the laptop.
00:05:39.000 Independent media, independent conservative media was out there reading it.
00:05:45.000 I know that Jack Tobeck had a copy of the laptop.
00:05:48.000 A lot of people did.
00:05:49.000 They were able to look at the original source material themselves and could verify what was actually going on.
00:05:56.000 Emma Joe Morris was correct. 0.83
00:05:57.000 The New York Post was correct.
00:05:59.000 And more and more details have started coming out after that.
00:06:03.000 It was more than a year before CBS said that, oh, we have independently verified that the contents of the laptop were accurate, that this was not Russian disinformation.
00:06:14.000 The New York Times had to do the same thing.
00:06:16.000 All of these places had to retrack.
00:06:17.000 By then, of course, the damage had already been done.
00:06:20.000 Biden had been declared the winner of the election.
00:06:23.000 Meanwhile, there was a poll that was done shortly thereafter, shortly after the election, where Americans said that had they known that the laptop stories were accurate, they would not have voted for Joe Biden.
00:06:36.000 I don't know that that means they would have voted for his opposing candidate, Donald Trump, or if they would have stayed home, but they certainly would not have voted for Joe Biden.
00:06:44.000 The FBI sat on this information.
00:06:46.000 They concocted lies.
00:06:48.000 They fed those lies to social media companies and to the American people.
00:06:52.000 They have absolutely no culpability.
00:06:54.000 They have been covering for Biden and his family for years.
00:06:58.000 We even see that going back to at a certain point when Hunter Biden had lied on a background check form to purchase a firearm.
00:07:08.000 And the FBI covered up that as well.
00:07:10.000 Biden, of course, is this huge gun control guy.
00:07:13.000 And his son is out here lying on background check forms to buy guns illegally.
00:07:18.000 So yeah, that's the timeline.
00:07:21.000 And now here we are with IRS whistleblowers saying, oh, by the way, the FBI knew all about this in 2019, which of course we knew.
00:07:30.000 Libby, we're talking about hundreds of cover-ups, hundreds, right?
00:07:35.000 We're talking about cover-up on a cover-up and a cover-up on a cover-up.
00:07:39.000 Do you think there's like a centralized conductor that is moving this along?
00:07:44.000 Well, could there be a centralized conductor?
00:07:46.000 I think that that's certainly possible.
00:07:49.000 I don't know who that would be.
00:07:51.000 We also saw that, what's her name?
00:07:54.000 I think it's Linda Wolf was saying that there would never be a search warrant for the vice president's home in order to, you know, gain all of the records that were pointing fingers at the Biden family.
00:08:07.000 And then, of course, they raided Mar-a-Lago and grabbed a bunch of boxes, and Donald Trump's attorney wasn't even able to be present.
00:08:13.000 I do think that the more we hear the Biden administration say that the Department of Justice is independent, the less we can believe that.
00:08:22.000 They say it over and over and over again.
00:08:25.000 I think it almost sounds crazy to say that this could all be simply because they hate Trump.
00:08:32.000 I do think that that's in there, that they hate Trump and they hate his supporters and they just really want to make sure that the adults are in charge.
00:08:41.000 I was talking about this yesterday.
00:08:43.000 Are the adults really back in charge?
00:08:45.000 I don't think we can say that. 0.75
00:08:46.000 I think the scoundrels and the weasels and the thieves are back in charge.
00:08:50.000 What's really going on?
00:08:52.000 But a central conductor, Biden has been in government for an extremely long time.
00:08:58.000 We know that he absconded with classified documents when he was in the Senate and later again when he was vice president.
00:09:04.000 We know there's been no culpability for that.
00:09:06.000 We know that he was directing Ukraine policy when he was VP to Obama, at which point we have also now been discovering from the House GOP has been doing this work.
00:09:19.000 And they have said that it's very likely that Joe Biden took five, $10 million bribes in order to get a prosecutor fired in Ukraine who was looking into the shady operations of an energy company that was also paying his son $83,000 a month to sit on the board and do absolutely nothing.
00:09:43.000 So that central conductor could be Biden over the past, whatever, 50-some years that he has been in government.
00:09:55.000 Do you know the average American spends about 20 years in retirement?
00:09:58.000 That's a long time to live without a steady income.
00:10:01.000 And we want to make sure you enjoy every moment of it and don't outlive your money.
00:10:05.000 Retirement is about more than just investments.
00:10:08.000 It is about living your best life.
00:10:10.000 Let's not retire.
00:10:11.000 Let's pivot.
00:10:13.000 My friends at PAX Financial developed a course for the sole purposely of helping you pivot.

00:10:37.000 So Libby, we went through this multiple day spectacle wondering if we're going to recover the submarine.
00:10:43.000 But apparently the United States government knew the submarine suffered a terrible, tragic fate.
00:10:51.000 Why was this not announced?
00:10:54.000 It definitely, at the least, most innocent reading, this doesn't exactly continue to build trust of our institutions.
00:11:01.000 There's a more sinister interpretation that Jack Pesobic is floating, that maybe this was to cover up other domestic news.
00:11:08.000 What are your thoughts, Libby Emmons?
00:11:10.000 I think that there's certainly ways that you could look at this, you know, as to why they would not have said right away that every all hands on the titan craft were lost.
00:11:22.000 You could say, oh, we didn't want to upset everybody unnecessarily.
00:11:25.000 But they knew on Sunday the U.S. Navy heard an explosion, an implosion.
00:11:30.000 They heard sound that definitely indicated that the Titan had been lost.
00:11:34.000 They revealed to the Coast Guard that the Titan had likely been lost.
00:11:39.000 The Coast Guard used the information the Navy provided to direct their remote operated vehicles as to where to go search for the debris.
00:11:47.000 Yet they kept saying that there was hope.
00:11:50.000 They kept indicating that it was a rescue operation.
00:11:54.000 They were talking about how much air was left.
00:11:57.000 John Kirby went out and said that.
00:11:59.000 Coast Guard went out and said that they all were giving those indications.
00:12:03.000 TikTok went wild talking about all of the theories and how much air was left and what could be done and what were the possibilities.
00:12:12.000 Meanwhile, you did have, and this is the more sinister approach, you did have what's going on in the federal government where the Bidens are under intense scrutiny.
00:12:24.000 And it seems like every time the Bidens come under scrutiny, they try and turn that lens on somebody else.
00:12:31.000 We saw the Trump indictment dropped on the same day that it was revealed that the FBI had all of this information.
00:12:41.000 I think on June 8th, that happened.
00:12:44.000 And then just recently, Hunter Biden had this sweetheart plea deal where he pled guilty to some tax crimes and is likely going to get off on the gun charge that we were talking about earlier.
00:12:57.000 And then all of a sudden, the Coast Guard reveals that the craft had been lost.
00:13:01.000 And of course, they had known that since Sunday.
00:13:04.000 So I'm not entirely willing to say necessarily that Biden intentionally did this, but I certainly think possibility, especially how shady they have been.
00:13:17.000 The IRS wanted to prosecute Hunter Biden on felony charges, was prevented from doing that from the DOJ.
00:13:26.000 We see also a message that came out from WhatsApp on the Hunter Biden laptop where Hunter Biden is demanding money from Chinese associates and says that his father is sitting there in the room with him.
00:13:38.000 What's that about?
00:13:39.000 Biden repeatedly said that he wasn't involved in that.
00:13:43.000 We also saw text messages from Hunter Biden personally arranging business meetings with Chinese associates, I think in 2017.
00:13:54.000 So all of this stuff is going on under the surface.
00:13:59.000 And every chance they get, the Biden administration seems to be able to redirect media to look at something else.
00:14:05.000 When I think of it in my mind, I visualize the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, how it just, you know, switches.
00:14:13.000 And so that's what the American people do.
00:14:14.000 That's what media does.
00:14:16.000 That's what all of the chatter on social media does.
00:14:19.000 As soon as the Biden administration comes under some sort of scrutiny, they just pivot the entire operation so that we all go scrambling and look at something else and ignore what they've been up to.
00:14:30.000 And I think it's so important for the American people to just keep an eye on this.
00:14:35.000 If we actually have a man in office who accepted millions and millions and millions of dollars in bribes to affect U.S. foreign policy, and this is the man who is now engaging in a war, defending that nation in that nation,
00:14:50.000 spending again billions upon billions and billions of dollars, sending them our arms and weapons, directing our allies to send them our fire jets, even after he said quite some time ago that no U.S. fighter jets would be given to Ukraine.
00:15:05.000 What's the difference between the U.S. giving fighter jets to Ukraine and saying, hey, allies, all those fighter jets we gave you, you can go ahead and give them to Ukraine.
00:15:14.000 And we also saw that Ukrainian pilots were in the U.S. training to fly those fighter jets that Biden said he wasn't going to give them.
00:15:22.000 So I think that this, I think that this man, I think his entire administration is incredibly corrupt. 0.95
00:15:29.000 And they say that Trump is corrupt. 0.55
00:15:33.000 They say, you know, go look at these other shiny stones over here. 0.98
00:15:37.000 Oh, look, a pebble, you know, or Homer Simpson when he says that dog has a puffy tail.
00:15:41.000 Just running off, go do other things.
00:15:44.000 Meanwhile, they tell us the adults are back in charge.
00:15:47.000 These are not the adults we were looking for.
00:15:49.000 Libby Emmons, thank you so much.
00:15:51.000 The post-millennial and human events, thank you.

00:16:58.000 United States Senator Lindsey Graham and Dick Blumenthal are saying that if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, it should be an attack on America.
00:17:10.000 Play Cut 121.
00:17:11.000 We're introducing a resolution today, since the Senate resolution that says that if Russia or Belarus or a proxy of Russia explodes a nuclear device inside Ukraine to stop the counteroffensive or to try to break the will of the Ukrainian people, such an attack should be considered an attack on NATO itself.
00:17:37.000 This is completely insane.
00:17:39.000 This is an effort to stoke a nuclear war, is what this is. 0.55
00:17:42.000 Ukraine is not in NATO.
00:17:44.000 Ukraine should not be in NATO.
00:17:45.000 And we've been told, oh, don't worry, they're not going to go to NATO.
00:17:47.000 Oh, by the way, if they get attacked by Russia, it's like an attack on the United States homeland. 0.87
00:17:51.000 Do you know Article 6?
00:17:53.000 I think it's Article 6, right, Blake?
00:17:54.000 Article 6 and NATO, which is an attack on one is an attack on all.
00:17:58.000 They're trying to backdoor them into NATO, is what this is all about.
00:18:03.000 NATO expansion is supposed to be unanimous.
00:18:06.000 Supposed to be.
00:18:07.000 NATO has gotten far too big.
00:18:09.000 It's an antiquated model.
00:18:11.000 It served its purpose at a certain period of time against the Soviet Union.
00:18:14.000 But Graham just thinks we could do it ourselves, unilaterally.
00:18:19.000 Now, there's a lot happening on the foreign policy kind of landscape.
00:18:24.000 There's this chatter about the Chinese Communist Party wanting to build a military installation in Cuba.
00:18:31.000 It shouldn't be allowed, shouldn't be tolerated.
00:18:34.000 We have the Monroe Doctrine for a reason.
00:18:36.000 But I just find it hilarious that some people in Washington, D.C. are up in arms about China wanting to build a military base in Cuba.
00:18:47.000 And yet they don't understand why Russia complains that we have money, troops, reconnaissance, intelligence, and send our diplomats right up to the border of Russia.
00:18:59.000 Do you not understand?
00:19:00.000 That is what triggers them.
00:19:04.000 And they say, oh, no, it's different because we're America.
00:19:06.000 Well, people act in their own self-interest rather in this similar way.
00:19:11.000 Joining us now is Darren Beattie for a different story, but I will ask his opinion on that as well.
00:19:16.000 Darren, welcome to the program.
00:19:18.000 Great to be with you, Charlie.
00:19:20.000 You have a story you want to explain about the pipe bomb.
00:19:24.000 Please continue.
00:19:25.000 Absolutely.
00:19:26.000 No, it's a really shocking and really important development in our pipe bomb investigation, which is friends of Revolver News, people who followed Revolver News know is one of the groundbreaking pieces of work we've done, one of the two smoking guns of the Fed surrection.
00:19:44.000 Now, we've done a lot of groundwork in terms of exposing the pipe bomb issue in terms of where the RNC bomb was found, where the DNC bomb wasn't found, forensic issues relative to the surveillance footage presented by the FBI to the public.
00:20:00.000 It's just attacked from so many angles that the public face of that investigation quietly resigned in disgrace.
00:20:07.000 But here's the amazing development.
00:20:10.000 That individual who was running the Washington Field office, who resigned quietly in disgrace, he, for whatever reason, voluntarily presented himself before the Judiciary Committee and answered a whole bunch of questions on a whole bunch of very sensitive issues.
00:20:27.000 For instance, he basically came out and said the Mar-a-Lago raid, which is the basis of the latest illegitimate indictment against Trump, he basically said the entire raid was illegitimate and violated protocol in a number of key respects, which is interesting in its own right for this guy who's so intimately involved with so many of the dirty operations against Trump.
00:20:53.000 And just for background, people don't know about this guy, Stephen D'Antoono.
00:20:57.000 He ran the Detroit field office where he oversaw the now disgraced entrapment operation known as the investigation into the Whitmer kidnapping plot.
00:21:11.000 He was later handpicked by Christopher Wray to run the Washington Field office in the months leading up to January 6th.
00:21:17.000 And then, as I mentioned, he became the public face of the sham pipe bomb investigation.
00:21:21.000 So this guy has got his fingers dirty in a lot of different operations.
00:21:25.000 And now that he's a private citizen working at counting from KPMG, for whatever reason, he decides to go before Congress and basically say the Mar-a-Lago raid was illegitimate, which I was shocked to see from anyone in the FBI, let alone this guy.
00:21:42.000 But it gets even crazier because he actually answered really sensitive questions about the pipe bomb investigation when he didn't have to.
00:21:51.000 You know how these guys can easily just say, oh, ongoing investigation.
00:21:58.000 This guy answered a bunch of very sensitive questions.
00:22:01.000 I'll just give one of the biggest bombshells here.
00:22:04.000 So he was asked, did the FBI used geofencing technology to try to identify the pipe bomber in the same way that they've used geofencing to identify other January 6th participants in a variety of ways?
00:22:21.000 And for technical reasons, the pipe bomber investigation was like a layup for geofencing because you have one person at one place at a known time and no one else around him.
00:22:32.000 It should be very easy.
00:22:34.000 And when he was asked this question, D'Antuono, who can't really withstand pressure, his body language started to clam up, his eyes got shifty, started acting a little bit strange, but he did not deflect.
00:22:47.000 He answered the question.
00:22:48.000 He said, you know, we did use geofencing technology.
00:22:53.000 And the telecom company came back to us and they said the data for this specific request is corrupted.
00:23:02.000 Is corrupted.
00:23:04.000 What does that mean, Darren?
00:23:06.000 Is corrupted.
00:23:10.000 Well, I think we all know what it means.
00:23:12.000 But even as D'Antuono made this startling revelation, like he said, this is severely unusual.
00:23:21.000 It doesn't happen.
00:23:23.000 You know, it didn't happen in the other requests that they did.
00:23:27.000 This one specific request, the data was corrupted.
00:23:30.000 And he was so aware of how bad that looked.
00:23:33.000 He was like, you know, what am I going to tell you?
00:23:35.000 This is what it was, but I don't want to.
00:23:37.000 It's encouraging cell phone companies to be serious information, though, Darren.
00:23:41.000 Even if the government corrupted it, you're trying to tell me that the cell phone companies, you just can't go back to the original source data.
00:23:47.000 I mean, we learned a lot about ping technology thanks to Greg Phillips and Katherine Engelbrecht.
00:23:52.000 That stuff's on the market.
00:23:53.000 So what does he mean corrupted?
00:23:56.000 Well, here's that's really interesting point, Charlie.
00:23:59.000 Very interesting point.
00:24:01.000 So my understanding from what I've learned, and I've done some research on this because of the pipe bomb, is that law enforcement agencies such as the FBI can go straight to the telecom companies, which is evidently what they did.
00:24:14.000 And it was the telecom company who reportedly told the FBI that the data for that request was corrupted.
00:24:23.000 Oh, come on. 0.99
00:24:24.000 Now, that's just a bunch of crap. 1.00
00:24:26.000 Keep going. 0.98
00:24:27.000 An interesting side story, though, since you mentioned the other aspect of geofencing.
00:24:32.000 So there's an alternative method, which you alluded to, that is not going directly to the telecom companies, but basically it's another version of geofencing that relies on the fact that people, when they use apps that are connected to the GPU, you have their location.
00:24:51.000 And that data is collected and stored and sold by a handful of major big data firms.
00:25:00.000 Now, in my own capacity through Revolver.news as interested in this, I can't go directly to the telecoms like the FBI could.
00:25:09.000 But I did try this alternative route, not myself because I'm a known political quantity.
00:25:14.000 There's no way they would give me anything, but through a clean proxy who would, you know, there would be no reason for them to not do this sort of business.
00:25:24.000 And we made three inquiries through this proxy.
00:25:29.000 And in each case, the initial response was, of course, we'd love to do business with you.
00:25:33.000 We'd love to take your money, that sort of thing.
00:25:35.000 And then in every single case, within a day or two, we got a follow-up message saying more or less, this isn't something we're able to do.
00:25:43.000 Yeah, so but let me ask you a question, Darren.
00:25:45.000 How tight was the field that you were asking through a proxy?
00:25:48.000 Because you might have given it away, right?
00:25:50.000 I mean, for example, the way that it should be asked is, I just want all pings within these 10 blocks between September 2020 to September 2021.
00:26:01.000 Does that make sense?
00:26:02.000 You're kind of...
00:26:03.000 No, it makes perfect sense.
00:26:06.000 And because I'm not a technical person, my proxy was a technical person.
00:26:10.000 We did discuss not wanting to give it up so easily by being too smart.
00:26:16.000 But it's more expensive is the problem.
00:26:18.000 I don't know what the exact request was, but I do know that we had discussions about avoiding that level of specificity.
00:26:29.000 But it is quite amazing.
00:26:31.000 And you would think that even if it were specific, and we didn't get into these specifics, but they should be eager to help law enforcement identify the January 6th pipe bomb or terrorist.
00:26:44.000 You would think that this would be like a major victory for one of these companies to assist where the FBI wasn't able to get it.
00:26:50.000 There's a muzzle order.
00:26:51.000 And the FBI isn't able to get it from the telecom companies.
00:26:55.000 And of course, if they really wanted it, they could have.
00:26:58.000 I'm sure the NSA has it.
00:27:00.000 I'm sure each of the multiple intelligence agencies has its own version of it if they wanted to get it.
00:27:06.000 I think it's very clear at this point that at a certain stage of the investigation, they found out who it was.
00:27:14.000 It wasn't the kind of person that it should have been.
00:27:17.000 And maybe a person that, if it were known, would be a national scandal.
00:27:22.000 And the rest has been a cover-up in various respects.
00:27:26.000 And what's amazing is that the public face of this, a guy who's had his fingers dirty in the dirtiest operations imaginable, first came forward and said the Mar-a-Lago rate was illegitimate.
00:27:40.000 And now even more shocking, he's answering questions about the very investigation that he was the head of and effectively saying this doesn't add up.
00:27:51.000 He also answered questions about the DNC surveillance footage that Revolver.news has covered so extensively.
00:27:58.000 So it's really remarkable, and we're going to take this to the finish line for sure.
00:28:04.000 I've said it for a while, Darren.
00:28:05.000 You know that the answer to January 6th goes to the pipe bombs.
00:28:09.000 Pipe bomb at the RNC and DNC, how they discovered it, who planted it the night before.
00:28:13.000 It was done sloppily, maybe through a Fed, maybe not.
00:28:16.000 But we could see on the video surveillance, they used the cell phone.
00:28:20.000 And that there, they are covering this up.
00:28:23.000 I guarantee you there's a muzzle order from somebody in the intelligence agencies going after the telecom companies saying, do not release this.
00:28:31.000 Darren, what other stories are you hot on?
00:28:33.000 Well, this pipe bomb one is really huge, and we're following up on that in a big way.
00:28:39.000 We've had some recent wins.
00:28:41.000 For instance, I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but our reporting on a Pentagon office that was tasked with the ideological vetting of conservatives in the military, this reporting has had a profound effect and ultimately resulted in this office being neutralized.
00:29:00.000 So we're hitting him from all angles, but the pipe bomb issue remains an obsession.
00:29:06.000 As I was saying earlier, we're so close to the finish line on this one.
00:29:10.000 We have the former public face of this investigation squirming.
00:29:16.000 And because of his guilty conscience, or maybe because he just wants to cover his butt at this point, he's coming forth and saying more or less that the investigation was a sham and we just need to take it that one extra step and the entire Fed surrection story crumbled.
00:29:37.000 I hope people realize how big this pipe bomb thing is because if you look at, let's pretend, and by the way, the law enforcement is not even mentioning this, right?
00:29:47.000 They talk always about the Capitol.
00:29:48.000 They don't even mention the pipe bomb for narrative purposes, Darren.
00:29:51.000 That's how you know, right?
00:29:53.000 They don't even mention it as, and also they were trying to, from a potential human cost, a pipe bomb could kill a lot of people.
00:30:05.000 It could kill one, kill five.
00:30:06.000 I mean, it depends on how it's made or whatever.
00:30:08.000 But if you were talking about like an attack on our institutions, what I think happened, if you want my speculation, that the federal government, these were faulty bombs, but the tell is they put it on the RNC and the DNC.
00:30:29.000 And no one has been arrested, Darren, right?
00:30:32.000 We have this guy on camera checking his phone.
00:30:35.000 It's so suspicious.
00:30:37.000 And in both parties, too, if we're able to ever prove, and again, it's just speculation, but we have a lot of evidence because of the cover-ups and the fact that January 6th committee didn't even look into this.
00:30:48.000 If we are ever able to prove this is a Fed, what does that mean, Darren?
00:30:53.000 Well, that means that the entire crux of the whole Fed surrection narrative is a lot and indeed deserving of the name Fed Surrection.
00:31:04.000 I mean, it's impossible to exaggerate the importance of this because the pipe bomb issue is the most like terrorist-like aspect of this event that they're trying to blow up into being the greatest domestic terrorist activity since the conception of the country.
00:31:24.000 And yet, as you point out, there is a curious lack of interest on the part of institutions that should be interested, not just on the side of the FBI, but on the side of the Democrats.
00:31:37.000 Like they have no interest in finding out who this person is who planted an explosive device outside of their national headquarters.
00:31:45.000 Another thing I was going to mention that Stephen D'Antuono acknowledged is we've covered this extensively on Revolver.
00:31:52.000 The surveillance footage presented by the DNC, or at least the surveillance footage that originated at the DNC and that the FBI presented to the public, has been, we proved definitively, it has been deliberately, artificially degraded.
00:32:08.000 The frame rate has been degraded to a level that simply does not exist by any industrial standard in the surveillance community.
00:32:17.000 There's simply no way that the DNC building where VIPs work, VIPs regularly come and go, it's in a high-crime city.
00:32:26.000 And in fact, a break into the DNC precipitated one of the biggest political scandals in the nation's history.
00:32:32.000 There's no way that the DNC doesn't have better surveillance footage than your average gas station in East St. But remember, Kamala Harris was there.
00:32:41.000 The Secret Service did a sweep.
00:32:42.000 You got to remember all these different details here.
00:32:44.000 But by the way, we're heard, you know, we hear all the time: we're under attack, we're under attack, right-wing extremism.
00:32:49.000 Okay, really?
00:32:50.000 If you're under attack, then who tried to bomb your headquarters?
00:32:52.000 I'm curious.
00:32:53.000 I mean, it proves your point, right?
00:32:54.000 Democrats, you guys are constantly under attack.
00:32:57.000 Karine Jean-Pierre says, we're under attack like never before.
00:33:00.000 Okay, you're not, but let's pretend that you are.
00:33:02.000 Then wouldn't you have a little bit of curiosity of who wanted to bomb your party headquarters?
00:33:06.000 And I think it's important.
00:33:07.000 If you're able to prove that this was a federal agent, it means you can't convict Trump of insurrection or seditious conspiracy.
00:33:13.000 It means that there's federal, I think this is a massive, massive issue, and it could be a significant whole thing falls apart.
00:33:19.000 And you know, we recently learned from an extensive Washington Post story that they had 50 agents working on the pipe bomb investigation full time.
00:33:28.000 I guarantee you, they found out who this person was and they started to investigate themselves.
00:33:34.000 They went, oh, he's one of ours.
00:33:37.000 My goodness.
