The Charlie Kirk Show - Unraveling the J6 Committee Coverup

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:01.000 Andrew Colvin in for Charlie Kirk.

00:00:04.000 We have Jordan Harmon from Angel Studios talking about Cabrini and how they're remaking Hollywood and just in the nick of time and not a moment, not a moment too soon, as they say.

00:00:14.000 Hollywood's really off course.

00:00:16.000 It's unfortunate.

00:00:17.000 Films like Cabrini are helping bring it back.

00:00:19.000 And then we talked to Representative Barry Lautermilk from Georgia.

00:00:23.000 He is deconstructing the J6 sham committee.

00:00:27.000 He's got some bomb show findings.

00:00:28.000 We talked to him exclusively about that.

00:00:30.000 You're not going to want to miss this so much to get to buckle up.

00:00:34.000 Here we go.

00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:48.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:55.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:56.000 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.

00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:34.000 I am very excited about this conversation with Jordan Harmon, who is the co-founder of Angel Studios and filmmaker of the new film Cabrini, which is in theaters right now.

00:01:44.000 Jordan, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:46.000 Thanks for having me.

00:01:47.000 Appreciate it.

00:01:48.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:01:49.000 So love this film.

00:01:51.000 Love the project.

00:01:52.000 Love Angel Studios.

00:01:53.000 You know, we've gotten a chance to talk behind the scenes actually at some various events.

00:01:58.000 And what you guys are doing is phenomenal.

00:02:01.000 People don't know this about me, my background.

00:02:03.000 I used to work in Hollywood.

00:02:05.000 And so I've seen this industry up close and personal.

00:02:08.000 And so, you know, I'm always trying to explain to Charlie just how revolutionary the project that you guys are working on is and the model that you guys have built really is.

00:02:16.000 But let's start with the film and then I'll get into the model at Angel Studios.

00:02:23.000 Cabrini, how's it going?

00:02:25.000 How do people see it?

00:02:27.000 What are the reviews?

00:02:28.000 What are the reactions from the fans?

00:02:30.000 Tell us everything.

00:02:32.000 Man, this particular film is got a special place in our heart because it is elevating Angel to a level of artistry that we've never done before.

00:02:43.000 It is one of the most beautiful films you'll ever see.

00:02:45.000 The reviews, I'll be honest, I'm surprised the reviews from critics are even positive.

00:02:50.000 And that's just because they never give us positive reviews, but they are even like liking this film.

00:02:55.000 So it's getting 91% from critics, 98% from audiences.

00:02:58.000 It's one of the highest film-rated films of the year.

00:03:01.000 From audiences, it is the highest-rated wide release of the year.

00:03:05.000 And it opened up just 10 days ago.

00:03:08.000 It's coming up on 15, 16 million in the box office.

00:03:10.000 And it's running strong.

00:03:13.000 You can go to angel.com/slash, I believe, Charlie or Kirk.

00:03:17.000 I can't remember which one.

00:03:18.000 I think it's Charlie.

00:03:19.000 Angel.com slash Charlie to get your tickets.

00:03:21.000 And this particular film is so important for the world because it is literally addressing so many of the things that we are dealing with today.

00:03:32.000 And it's very powerful.

00:03:36.000 It's funny you mentioned the reviews because I was actually looking at Roger Ebert in the break.

00:03:44.000 He's surprised.

00:03:44.000 He's actually, he was like, it played with, you know, Francesca Cabrini played with quiet command by convincing Christiana Delana.

00:03:54.000 I hope I'm pronouncing that right.

00:03:56.000 Faces at long last faces and at long last wins over until then villainous and sabotaging New York mayor played by John Lithgow, who's obviously a phenomenal actor, who finally agrees to support her mission.

00:04:10.000 And then Lithgow looks over at Cabrini and says, you know, it's too bad you're not a man.

00:04:18.000 You wouldn't understand.

00:04:22.000 He says cluelessly, in response, Cabrini simply and correctly reminds him that no man, that a man could never do what she and her sisters do, which I thought was, I mean, reading this from Roger Ebert is like, you know, I was like, wow, okay, great.

00:04:39.000 You know, it's pretty amazing.

00:04:41.000 Like, it's a very there's a deeper message in there, though, when you think about it, because the reality is, is we're in this really confused world where, you know, the youth coming up are completely confused about gender and all these different things.

00:04:54.000 And, you know, people are fighting left and right.

00:04:59.000 And we're not just looking at our unique qualities as people.

00:05:02.000 Like, my wife, she does things that I can never do.

00:05:04.000 I can't ever have babies.

00:05:06.000 I can't ever nurse our children.

00:05:08.000 But I have things involved in gifts that I can do.

00:05:11.000 You're getting controversial here now.

00:05:13.000 Oh, man.

00:05:13.000 Sorry.

00:05:14.000 But yeah, but that being said, but she has gifts that I can ever achieve.

00:05:21.000 And I have gifts that, but they're complementary.

00:05:24.000 And so this movie is such a beautiful film because it speaks to so many aspects of the world today, but it does it in a way that's it's not pushing the message first.

00:05:33.000 It's just a great story.

00:05:35.000 It's an incredible story.

00:05:36.000 It's extremely beautiful.

00:05:38.000 Dr. Jordan Peterson posted on X yesterday because he had seen the film and he just said, this is an incredible story.

00:05:44.000 It's a cinematic masterpiece.

00:05:46.000 And he said, it's, you know, I love seeing a film that's not just jamming the message down my throat, as the critical drinker says a lot of times on YouTube.

00:05:55.000 And so it's one of those things where we're very grateful for all the support and it's such an important film to get out into the world.

00:06:02.000 Well, and a lot of people, you know, it's funny.

00:06:04.000 We had you on before to talk about this, but a lot of people that aren't Catholic don't know the story of Cabrini.

00:06:10.000 I mean, she was an Italian Catholic missionary nun.

00:06:15.000 I'm reading from Roger Ebert again here, who founded, who not only founded a peerless orphanage in New York at the turn of the 20th century and gave her name to Hudson Heights Serene Cabrini Boulevard in Manhattan, but also resolutely built a worldwide network of charitable organizations and homes in the decades that followed.

00:06:34.000 And then she was, she became a saint, right?

00:06:36.000 I mean, Catholics know her as Mother Cabrini.

00:06:38.000 Okay.

00:06:38.000 Yeah?

00:06:39.000 So I mean, this is her story.

00:06:42.000 But she's really, she's really, she's really an entrepreneur.

00:06:44.000 Like, in all intents and purposes, this feels like an entrepreneur's film in that she goes and she starts the hospital system.

00:06:54.000 Not the one we see today that's a little bit more crony capitalism where the government's coming into every piece of it, but a system where she wanted to basically have all the wealthy people be serviced on the top. 0.97

00:07:05.000 And then they would take some of the profits to supply and help some of the less fortunate people.

00:07:10.000 But it was in a way that was privatized.

00:07:12.000 And she didn't wait for government to come solve her problems.

00:07:15.000 She just went out and got it done.

00:07:17.000 And so it's a film that truly is absolutely remarkable and so applicable today.

00:07:23.000 Yeah.

00:07:23.000 And I want to play cut here from it just because I feel like you got to get a flavor for just like you said, how beautiful the film is.

00:07:32.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 95.

00:07:36.000 Shall we begin?

00:07:37.000 My sisters, if we are to build an empire of hope, we must first conquer New York.

00:07:47.000 Open your eyes.

00:07:48.000 I'm not giving you it.

00:07:49.000 This is who we've come to serve.

00:07:52.000 This is not a place for you.

00:07:54.000 In that case, I should be doing you have swattered the hornets.

00:08:00.000 This is about the kind of New York we want.

00:08:03.000 The world is too small for what I intend to do.

00:08:06.000 All right.

00:08:07.000 It gives me chills every time.

00:08:09.000 Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, you get the sense of just how beautiful the film is.

00:08:13.000 Now, two quick, one's a quick question.

00:08:16.000 Then I'm going to ask you a larger question about the model you guys have built.

00:08:19.000 First of all, for the people who don't know, what other projects have you guys been affiliated with?

00:08:24.000 Because our audience will then be like, oh my gosh, it's the same people.

00:08:28.000 Oh, yeah.

00:08:28.000 So obviously, you know, Angel Studios, our mission is to tell stories that Amplify Light.

00:08:32.000 We started with Drybar Comedy, which is now the largest library of stand-up comedy in the world.

00:08:37.000 Then we went on to our first original series called The Chosen, which, you know, is now being seen by over 100 million people around the globe.

00:08:45.000 We had a breakout success in theaters with his only son, and then Sound of Freedom, which was last year, a huge blockbuster surprise, thanks to people like you, your viewers.

00:08:57.000 And then we've got Cabrin that's coming out.

00:09:01.000 And so there's many, many, many projects that are not just on the Angel app and on angel.com that you can go watch and actually consume right now, but there's dozens that are in the works that we haven't even announced yet.

00:09:12.000 And it's very, very exciting.

00:09:14.000 Oh, that's fantastic.

00:09:15.000 And so, you know, I worked in Hollywood and it was just kind of known that 80 to 85% of projects were going to fail.

00:09:24.000 So the model is completely broken.

00:09:26.000 Essentially, if you're an investor into entertainment, you're 80 to 85% certain to lose your money, right?

00:09:35.000 So it's a really challenging system that is controlled by a small few in what we call development.

00:09:43.000 So they're the ones that read the scripts.

00:09:45.000 They sort of grade the scripts and they go up through the ranks of like the staff, the junior staff to the senior staff.

00:09:52.000 And then eventually maybe it gets to the decision maker that can write checks.

00:09:56.000 And if that script makes it all the way through, maybe you have a chance of getting that script made.

00:10:01.000 But it's basically on the opinion of one or two or three people.

00:10:05.000 Then once the film starts to get made, it gets made by committee.

00:10:09.000 So, you know, you've got studio execs that are constantly hamstringing the directors and the actors and the people with actual vision and creative artistry.

00:10:18.000 And what you get is modern Hollywood, where you get this hodgepodge of confusing choices, of lack of artistry, lack of vision.

00:10:28.000 We miss old Hollywood.

00:10:30.000 The model has been broken. 0.73

00:10:32.000 And so that's our little tease here, Jordan.

00:10:34.000 And then I'm going to explain, and you're going to explain how you guys have flipped the script, quite literally, to make sure that your success rate is just unfathomable in today's Hollywood environment.

00:10:48.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:49.000 Now that we are launching into a general election season, Patriot Mobile wants to celebrate with a special offer, just in case you haven't made the switch yet.

00:11:44.000 Amazing folks.

00:11:45.000 Check it out.

00:11:46.000 PatriotMobile.com slash Charlie.

00:11:50.000 Jordan, so you guys have flipped the model of Hollywood, where a small select group of people get to make all the decisions.

00:11:58.000 It's their taste, their interests, their creativity for the rest of us.

00:12:02.000 And this is why Hollywood has turned out just flop after flop after flop.

00:12:06.000 You guys literally only make successful films and TV shows.

00:12:10.000 It's really incredible.

00:12:12.000 So tell us about the Angel Studio model and the guild because people listening right now need to join the guild because you can be part of this decision-making process.

00:12:20.000 Jordan, the floor is yours.

00:12:22.000 Yeah, it's an incredibly interesting thing that we kind of stumbled into.

00:12:27.000 We're obviously, you know, big believers in democracy and our democratic republic that we live in.

00:12:35.000 But we're also big believers in that there's a wisdom in the crowds.

00:12:38.000 There's actually a book called The Wisdom of Crowds, where it talks about how the community, when given the right sandbox and environment, can actually make better decisions than any executive.

00:12:48.000 And so Hollywood doesn't really actually have a talent problem.

00:12:52.000 They have the best storytellers in the world.

00:12:54.000 They have a gatekeeper problem.

00:12:57.000 And what we mean by that is there's a select view of Hollywood executives who make all the decisions around that entire town and what content and film and TV comes into the world.

00:13:07.000 And they believe they know what's best for you, for me.

00:13:10.000 They're smarter than any of us.

00:13:12.000 And we've decided it's important that we as executives and founders of Angel that we don't have the same hubris as they do or try not to because we probably make just as bad of decisions, but in other ways.

00:13:26.000 And so we've turned over the gatekeeper keys to the audience.

00:13:32.000 It's what we call the Angel Guild.

00:13:33.000 It's the investors in The Chosen and in Drybar and Tunnel Twins and any one of our TV shows and our films, as well as the people who are coming in and they're joining, becoming Angel Guild members.

00:13:44.000 It's like a prime membership.

00:13:46.000 You get two free complimentary tickets to every Angel Theatrical release.

00:13:49.000 You get early access to our content on our app.

00:13:51.000 You get discounts on merchandise.

00:13:52.000 So there's all these benefits of it.

00:13:54.000 But more importantly, you get to see shows and films like Sound of Freedom or Cabrini before they ever come out into the public.

00:14:03.000 And you get to vote and decide whether Angel gets to release that or not.

00:14:08.000 No matter how much I love a project, as a founder of Angel Studios, I have no ability to greenlight something or get it into the world until the Angel Guild gives us the thumbs up first.

00:14:18.000 And so that's a very important part of our model.

00:14:21.000 And it's working.

00:14:22.000 It's working extremely well.

00:14:23.000 In 2023, we had four theatrical releases, and all four have either paid back their investors a return on their investment or on pace to do so with their revenues from theatrical releases, DVDs, all the different things that we're doing.

00:14:41.000 And this is a testament to the audience knowing what they want.

00:14:45.000 They know what they want to see.

00:14:46.000 They know what stories are important to them.

00:14:48.000 And our mission is to tell those stories to Amplify Light.

00:14:52.000 So to put it another way, Hollywood has an 85% failure rate.

00:14:57.000 And in 2023, you guys had 100% success rate.

00:15:00.000 That's how dramatic.

00:15:03.000 Yeah.

00:15:03.000 I mean, obviously, we're not going to be 100% successful forever.

00:15:06.000 Forever.

00:15:07.000 Yeah, I get it.

00:15:08.000 But in 30 seconds, Jordan, tell us.

00:15:11.000 So, how do people join the guild?

00:15:13.000 How much does it cost?

00:15:15.000 Like, give them some marching orders right now.

00:15:17.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:15:18.000 Angel.com/slash Charlie.

00:15:20.000 You can join the guild.

00:15:22.000 Go there.

00:15:24.000 When you join the guild, you're going to pay $20 a month.

00:15:26.000 This is probably one of the most important $20 a month you'll ever spend because it actually allows you to influence culture.

00:15:32.000 And that money goes towards, again, more content, like the content you're loving.

00:15:39.000 It allows for us to continue to get more and more content.

00:15:42.000 It's so powerful.

00:15:46.000 Hey, this is Charlie Kirk.

00:15:47.000 I know a lot of you have been suffering under the Biden economy.

00:15:50.000 Recently, school loan payments have been reinstated, and for many, it's adding thousands to their monthly expenses.

00:15:56.000 My friends, Andrew Del Ray and Todd of Akien, they're amazing.

00:15:59.000 They really helped me through a tough, tough situation recently.

00:16:01.000 They've been excellent.

00:16:03.000 They're ethical.

00:16:04.000 They're just really great people.

00:16:06.000 They're followers of Jesus Christ, and our worldviews are the same.

00:16:09.000 I love them.

00:16:10.000 And so please go to andrewandodd.com.

00:16:12.000 Interest rates are coming down, and they may be able to lower your overall payment.

00:16:14.000 In fact, one of our team members said, Charlie, is it time to me to own a home?

00:16:18.000 I sat down, I went to the numbers.

00:16:19.000 I said, Get in the owner game.

00:16:20.000 Honestly, enough renting.

00:16:21.000 You are burning your money renting.

00:16:22.000 It might be a little bit more to own, but you're building equity.

00:16:25.000 That's money you'll have for the rest of your life.

00:16:27.000 Perhaps a reverse mortgage is a perfect solution.

00:16:29.000 It's about expertise you could trust in times like this.

00:16:32.000 I can't tell you how helpful they've been for me personally.

00:16:34.000 They've just been excellent.

00:16:35.000 Andrew and Todd, I'm honored to call them friends.

00:16:37.000 We hang out when I go to Orange County together.

00:16:39.000 They're really great.

00:16:39.000 So say, Charlie sent me 888-888-1172.

00:16:42.000 That's 888-888-1172.

00:16:44.000 They helped me through a mortgage situation recently that was super complex and moving pieces, and it was really, really tough.

00:16:50.000 And other banks, by the way, wanted nothing to do with it, and they crushed it for me.

00:16:54.000 10 out of 10.

00:16:55.000 AndrewNTodd.com.

00:16:56.000 So check it out right now, andrewandTodd.com.

00:17:00.000 I'm really looking forward to this conversation with Representative Barry Lautermilk from Georgia's 11th.

00:17:06.000 Lautermilk is also the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversights mouthful.

00:17:12.000 But what they are doing is extremely important.

00:17:14.000 They're conducting a follow-up inquiry into the J6 committee since Republicans took over the House.

00:17:21.000 Rep Lautermilk, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:17:24.000 Andrew, it's good to be with you today.

00:17:26.000 Yeah, honored to have you here.

00:17:28.000 So you guys released your finding.

00:17:30.000 You've been working on this basically since Republicans took over the House.

00:17:35.000 It's been a quiet investigation in some ways.

00:17:37.000 And then, boom, some massive revelations were leveled against the J6 committee, led by Liz Cheney and Thompson, Reps Thompson and Cheney.

00:17:49.000 So sum it up.

00:17:50.000 I mean, I've got a series of questions for you, but in broad terms, what did you guys find when you looked back at what the J6 committee did?

00:17:59.000 Well, let me first say that when I was asked to chair this committee, my only requirement was that we get to the truth, not a preconceived narrative or just to counter the January 6th, but seek the truth.

00:18:14.000 And whatever the truth was, we would report on it.

00:18:16.000 So we did spend the first year pretty much working in the shadows, and some people were upset about that.

00:18:21.000 But the reason that we were doing this is, you know, if you're conducting an investigation and you conduct that investigation in the press, you're not going to get anywhere, right?

00:18:31.000 So we wanted to do an independent investigation, which we did for a year.

00:18:38.000 We released some findings, but a couple of weeks ago, we released our interim report.

00:18:43.000 And I think the report speaks for itself.

00:18:46.000 But what, in summary, the report shows is that the select committee of January 6th, Pelosi's committee, handpicked committee, by the way, had a predetermined narrative that they wanted to sell to the American people.

00:19:00.000 And everything that they did and all the information that they released was designed to support that narrative, even to the extent of suppressing any exculpatory evidence that was contrary to the preconceived narrative that they had, that Donald Trump was the impetus behind the January 6th attacks on the Capitol, that he somehow coordinated it.

00:19:24.000 He was behind it, and he even held back National Guard from assisting.

00:19:30.000 And any evidence that the select committee uncovered that was contrary to that narrative, they suppressed that evidence.

00:19:38.000 And so our report released all of the evidence.

00:19:42.000 And quickly, even some of the mainstream media are seeing that this entire select committee was a setup to disparage Donald Trump, to legislatively prosecute him.

00:19:53.000 Good example.

00:19:56.000 The select committee, one of their taskings, according to the legislation that created the committee, was to look at the security failures of the Capitol on January 6th, regardless of who it was that got into the Capitol.

00:20:08.000 How did they get in?

00:20:09.000 They should have never been able to breach the security of this Capitol with our Capitol police, with the defense forces that we have here.

00:20:15.000 But they very easily breached the Capitol and got inside.

00:20:20.000 There is virtually nothing about the security breach of the Capitol in the select committee's final report.

00:20:26.000 In fact, they had a team that was supposed to be dedicated to investigating the security failure.

00:20:34.000 We cannot even find any documentation of any evidence that the team did anything.

00:20:41.000 And so when you look at the final report, though, Donald Trump's name is mentioned 1,900 times, but pipe bombs are only mentioned five.

00:20:50.000 And they're just in passing that there were.

00:20:52.000 So they conducted no investigation in the security failures, and all of their focus was on legislatively prosecuting Donald Trump.

00:21:02.000 I have a couple rapid fire questions here for you, Representative.

00:21:09.000 Did Donald Trump approve National Guard troops on J6?

00:21:16.000 Yes, he did.

00:21:17.000 And we saw that early on.

00:21:19.000 In fact, I knew that he did even before the select committee was organized because Vanity Fair, and as you know, Vanity Fair is not a conservative publication.

00:21:30.000 They're pretty far left-wing.

00:21:31.000 They had an article that ran like on January the 15th, just a few days after the January 6th incidents.

00:21:38.000 And they reported, as they had a reporter in the Department of Defense at the time, that there was a discussion between Secretary Miller and Donald Trump where he had told them that they needed to get ready 10,000 troops of the National Guard.

00:21:53.000 What we released in our report was just one instance of conversations that Trump had a couple of days before January 6th, where he ordered the National Guard to be ready.

00:22:06.000 We even found testimony from others to where he was briefed about the intelligence of potential threats against the Capitol a few days before January 6th.

00:22:18.000 And in that meeting, according to the logs that we have, it says POTUS, President of the United States, orders National Guard troops to be ready.

00:22:27.000 So there were many instances of him before January 6th authorizing the National Guard, even authorizing as much as 10,000 troops.

00:22:36.000 They're playing some word games here because even now some of the former members of the select committee are saying he never deployed the troops.

00:22:46.000 That is true.

00:22:46.000 He doesn't have the constitutional authority to deploy the troops to the U.S. Capitol because of separation of powers.

00:22:52.000 They have to be requested.

00:22:55.000 And the chief of police at the time requested them seven times before they actually got the approval for the troops to come.

00:23:05.000 And still, it took two hours after the approval for them to get to the Capitol.

00:23:09.000 Absolutely.

00:23:10.000 Was it Muriel Bowser or Nancy Pelosi that failed to request the troops?

00:23:17.000 So both, both.

00:23:20.000 The president, President Trump offered the mayor of D.C., Bowser, as many troops as she wanted to help because of the threats that the intelligence threats that they had received or the intelligence of threats.

00:23:35.000 And she only asked for, I think, 300 and something and did not want them armed nor in riot gear.

00:23:42.000 Bowser only wanted them as traffic control.

00:23:48.000 The Capitol Police, Chief Sun, the Chief of Capitol Police at the time, had requested on multiple occasions before January 6th, because of just the size of the crowds that they knew were coming, National Guard backup.

00:24:02.000 We do have evidence that Democrat leadership, at least at the staff level, turned down the request for National Guard.

00:24:12.000 Now, the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the two sergeant-at-arms and the architect of the Capitol, had to approve any request for National Guard at the time.

00:24:20.000 And when Chief Sun requested National Guard on a couple of occasions, the House Sergeant-at-Arms said, quote, let me run this up the chain.

00:24:29.000 And when he came back, he said they don't like the optics.

00:24:31.000 The only person up the chain is the Speaker of the House, which would have been Pelosi.

00:24:35.000 So you can interpret that.

00:24:37.000 I think it's clear that Pelosi didn't like the optics of requesting the National Guard.

00:24:41.000 National Guard was not approved until there were shots fired in the Capitol.

00:24:45.000 That's what it took to actually get somebody to move after seven requests.

00:24:51.000 She didn't like the optics, sir, but she certainly has made great use of the optics that ended up resulting from that day.

00:24:59.000 Not to mention the fact that the J6 committee hired Hollywood producers to, I mean, the contrast between your investigation and the J6 committees could not be more stark.

00:25:10.000 You have been, as we said, sort of operating below the radar for the time being, and then you've released this bombshell report.

00:25:17.000 But, you know, meanwhile, they've got Hollywood producers doing national broadcasts across network television.

00:25:25.000 It's just striking the difference and how they really do understand optics.

00:25:30.000 So a couple other questions here, Congressman.

00:25:33.000 So did they delete, did the J6 committee delete files?

00:25:36.000 And if so, how many?

00:25:38.000 Well, we know that they did.

00:25:40.000 We don't know how many for sure because we did a forensics on the hard drives that they gave us because they claimed to have given us four terabytes of digital data as well as boxes full of printed documents.

00:25:54.000 So when we received the information that they were supposed to preserve and hand over to us, we started looking through it because it really wasn't cataloged or organized to figure out what we had.

00:26:05.000 We realized we didn't have everything.

00:26:07.000 We hired the forensics company to come in and do a low-level scrub of the hard drives they provided us.

00:26:13.000 They found several thousand documents deleted.

00:26:16.000 Now, some of those, you know, and you're working on a computer, you delete documents all the time.

00:26:22.000 You delete emails.

00:26:25.000 A lot of the deleted documents were just digital copies of what we had, or they were a duplicate copy of what we had.

00:26:31.000 But there were over 100 unique documents, of which most of those were password protected.

00:26:38.000 And we have not been able to get into it.

00:26:40.000 It was pretty sophisticated encryption that was used.

00:26:42.000 We've asked the committee, what's the password?

00:26:46.000 And no one seems to know what we're even talking about.

00:26:49.000 But the irony of there were some documents that were not encrypted that we were able to recover.

00:26:54.000 Those were deleted literally two days before the Republicans took over the House program.

00:27:01.000 And this is a key point.

00:27:03.000 Right before you guys are set to take over, get access to all the files.

00:27:06.000 You're in control.

00:27:07.000 They delete files.

00:27:09.000 Is this a violation of law?

00:27:10.000 And can anybody be held accountable, sir?

00:27:13.000 Well, that's something that we're going to consider.

00:27:16.000 We still have a lot more investigation to go, but it was definitely a violation of House rules and protocol from the clerk's office.

00:27:23.000 Probably the biggest violation, most egregious, was the not preserving.

00:27:30.000 I don't want to say delete because we don't know what happened to him, but they videotaped every interview, every deposition, every transcribed interview.

00:27:39.000 They brought in video cameras and videotaped them.

00:27:42.000 They used some segments of those tapes in their nationally publicized and televised hearings.

00:27:49.000 None of those exist.

00:27:51.000 We were not given any of those, and they admitted to not preserving them.

00:27:56.000 And even Liz Cheney in her book talks about how important it was that they videotaped every interview, but yet they did not preserve those.

00:28:05.000 That is probably the most egregious.

00:28:07.000 And I do think that that, as well as the sending documents, we did find out they sent documents to the executive branch for keeping.

00:28:16.000 These are house documents.

00:28:17.000 We have since were able to secure some of those, but we still have the Department of Homeland Security is still holding eight of the documents, which are very critical to this investigation.

00:28:28.000 The committee sent them to the executive branch to maintain, and in my opinion, it was to keep us from having access to them.

00:28:36.000 Well, Congressman, I hope everybody listening to this is as shocked and appalled and angry as I am just hearing you describe this.

00:28:45.000 This is a massive stonewall effort. 1.00

00:28:47.000 And I hope that when you conclude your investigation, that as this gets written in history, that it be one of the biggest propaganda pieces ever committed by the United States government.

00:28:59.000 And, you know, they put Liz Cheney, they put Adam Kinzinger up on there to call it bipartisan.

00:29:06.000 This was a Hollywood production.

00:29:09.000 And what you're finding is truly, truly remarkable.

00:29:12.000 And I know you've got to leave, but thank you for what you're doing.

00:29:16.000 Any final words?

00:29:17.000 Well, it's just we're going to get the truth out there and let the American people have complete transparency of what happened.

00:29:24.000 And they have the ability to make the decision.

00:29:26.000 But what we have seen so far is that the committee get evidence.

00:29:32.000 That's right.

00:29:33.000 Representative Lautermilk, thank you.

00:29:35.000 God bless you.

00:30:36.000 That is mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:30:42.000 All right.

00:30:43.000 So just to put a little bow on that conversation with the Congressman, who's doing a tremendous job.

00:30:49.000 And he's, you know, I love how underspoken he is and under the radar.

00:30:55.000 He's just, he's basically doing what the J6 committee should have done.

00:30:59.000 He's just having to go back and untangle this web that they wove, and that's unfortunate.

00:31:05.000 So a couple things that we didn't get to is that, check this out.

00:31:10.000 Overall, one terabyte of data has been collected that the J6 committee either deleted or misplaced.

00:31:19.000 That's more than a quarter of all the data collected.

00:31:24.000 A quarter of all the data collected.

00:31:26.000 They've had to find.

00:31:28.000 They've had to dig through various communication chains and find it, either at the executive branch or elsewhere.

00:31:34.000 And then there's this point about Cassidy Hutchinson.

00:31:38.000 So this was, if you remember the big bombshell report and everybody took it and ran that Trump lunged at the Secret Service and tried to get out and march with the J Sixers and tried to grab the wheel of the motorcade car. 0.50

00:31:54.000 And this was actually what you don't know was from Hutchinson's heavily revised fourth interview.

00:32:01.000 Yes, there was a fourth interview, meaning there were three previous ones.

00:32:05.000 And this is what's truly amazing.

00:32:08.000 So here's one example.

00:32:10.000 First pass: I don't remember hearing about any weapons at the Capitol.

00:32:15.000 Second pass, actually, I definitely remember reports of weapons and Trump knew about it.

00:32:21.000 So she went from not knowing or having any knowledge of reports of weapons at the Capitol to, yes, I remember, and Trump knew.

00:32:29.000 And so Reps Thompson and Cheney promoted Hutchinson's sensational claim as fact and underplayed the fact that she had three previous interviews where that was not the way her interview went at all.

00:32:42.000 So if you take it on its face, she completely perjured herself.

00:32:47.000 The J6 committee also hid witness testimony from White House and Secret Service employees with firsthand knowledge that directly contradicted Hutchinson's version of events.

00:32:58.000 So they, and Lautermilk's committee has basically determined that her testimony was dramatically and drastically changed in order to be as sensational as possible.

00:33:10.000 Another instance, she amended her initial testimony to say that she had overheard that Donald Trump wanted Mike Pence hanged.

00:33:19.000 She probably just invented this out of whole cloth.

00:33:22.000 I mean, this is that dramatic.

00:33:24.000 And here's one final takeaway that I think is dramatic.

00:33:28.000 The select committee concluded, colluded with Fannie Willis.

00:33:32.000 So we talk about how this lawfare assault against Trump is actually a coordinated assault.

00:33:38.000 Look no further than the J6 committee.

00:33:40.000 Fanny Willis, Fulton County District Attorney, wrote to the select committee seeking assistance with her prosecution of President Trump.

00:33:48.000 Select committee staff then met with representatives for her office.

00:33:53.000 So that's just another fascinating thing.

00:33:55.000 And then we already mentioned the pipe bombs.

00:33:57.000 It's mentioned like five or six times.

00:33:58.000 Donald Trump's name was mentioned 1,900 times in the J6 report.

00:34:03.000 So, you know, if you're if the vice president, future vice president, is almost going to be assassinated by a pipe bomb, you'd think you'd make a bigger story about that, but they haven't.

00:34:13.000 And that's a very, very interesting detail in all this.

00:34:19.000 Thanks so much for listening.
