After years of climbing the academic ladder, Darren Beatty was a professor at Duke University. He signed a letter pledging his support to Donald Trump in 2016. He was the only non-tenured professor in the entire nation to publicly endorse Trump as a presidential candidate. And then, on January 6th, 2021, something terrible happened.
00:00:00.000The crusade against Donald Trump has repeatedly promised atomic bombs everywhere, and then a peanut falls out on the table.
00:00:10.100Almost every time, the people who challenge him to a death match wind up in the losing corner, kind of rocking back and forth like they're in a Lifetime movie.
00:01:33.360To quote the New York Times, he was fired for attending a gathering with white nationalists to a commission that helps preserve sites related to the Holocaust.
00:03:15.340First, before we get to the meat of the program, there is only one thing I love more than coming on this program to tell you about how amazing built bars actually are.
00:03:35.520Most built bars have 130 calories, only four grams of sugar, four grams of net carbs and 17 grams of protein.
00:03:43.280I can't imagine how they would probably have to take me couch and all out of my house through the side by fireman if it wasn't if it wasn't for built built bars are great.
00:05:05.340No, I think it's actually very accurate and it's important to understand why.
00:05:10.240You know, I think a lot of everyday Americans, they're far more concerned with issues like inflation or otherwise.
00:05:16.720And there's this sense that it's only the radical leftists that are making this huge deal about January 6th with hyperbolic comparisons to 9-11.
00:05:27.760I think Biden even said it's worse than the Civil War.
00:05:39.560And to a certain extent, that is true.
00:05:41.800It's not an insurrection on the level of the Civil War or anything like that.
00:05:46.500But the reason it's important and we can't tune it out entirely is that there is a false narrative being pushed.
00:05:53.800And the purpose of that narrative is to facilitate the weaponization of the national security state politically against the American people.
00:06:03.960It would be one thing, you know, it's horrible what's happened to a lot of the people languishing in prison for, in many cases, relatively trivial offenses.
00:06:13.380But the bigger picture, what's really at stake is the nature of the country we live in.
00:06:20.200What type of country are we going to live in?
00:06:22.100Do we want to live in a country where over half of the country is effectively demonized as domestic terrorists for having pretty much sensible political views?
00:06:37.940Because if you do that, you can't coexist.
00:07:37.820And if they can do this to the president of the United States, what do you why do you think they're going to there's any justice for you that you're going to be different?
00:07:53.220And, you know, we saw pretty egregious behavior in relation to Donald Trump.
00:07:57.900We saw the deplatforming of a sitting president of the United States from his chosen method of communication when he was taken off of Twitter.
00:08:07.720The intelligence community has been involved in so many things going back to the, you know, the Russiagate hoax.
00:08:13.760And there's just this common thread that they they like they're they're irrigating for themselves the status of, say, the grand Ayatollah in Iran.
00:08:25.700They're they're the ultimate arbiters of how far, quote unquote, democracy is able to go and in what direction.
00:08:33.840And really, I think the correct heuristic to understand the intelligence community's posture to Trump and really more broadly, the energies associated with Trump movement or a populist movement more broadly.
00:08:49.780They look at it the same way they look at it, quote unquote, authoritarian movement overseas.
00:08:54.820And they implement the same tools, color revolution methodology, which I think you've spoken about a lot of the same national security tools that they would deploy overseas in order to topple an authoritarian ruler that is against our geopolitical interests.
00:09:15.600They marshal all of those tools against Trump and they marshal those tools against the Trump movement and Trump supporters and more broadly, anyone who dares question the direction of the country under Biden.
00:09:29.800We have seen them, the State Department and the CIA topple governments in other countries that they wanted to topple because it was in the best interest of whomever.
00:10:14.540He's literally written a book on it, on how to do it.
00:10:17.260And it just turns out one of the many nice little details of January 6th is his fingerprints are all over the January 6th committee.
00:10:24.820Joseph Sellers, a lawyer who helped Chairman Benny Thompson have a personal lawsuit against Trump.
00:10:34.920Now, by the way, if some guy launches a personal lawsuit against Trump and others for January 6th and that lawsuit already promulgates a specific theory about what January 6th was and Trump's criminal culpability.
00:10:48.840You would think that would present a conflict of interest for that person becoming the chair of an ostensibly, you know, disinterested, objective fact-finding vehicle for January 6th.
00:10:59.720It would be like somebody who has said, I'm suing Lee Harvey Oswald for his killing alone, without any other help, you know, JFK.
00:11:14.340Well, I'm not going to trust that that guy's going to give me the truth.
00:11:21.480And so there are so many things like that.
00:11:23.280And I don't even like to dedicate too much time to the committee because it's just a waste.
00:11:28.340And what really matters is the questions that they didn't ask.
00:11:31.560But Norm Eisen, his fingerprints are on it because his sort of lawfare buddy really helped Benny Thompson in his early lawfare efforts in relation to January 6th.
00:11:43.240And the whole purpose of it was really an extension of the impeachment process.
00:11:47.200It's just to cripple Trump politically.
00:11:50.280And now with these criminal referrals recommendations, I don't know whether they'll actually go through with it in the DOJ, but it's helpful to have that hanging over the head of a presumptive nominee of a major political party.
00:12:52.120But what I mean is that without federal involvement, that rally could not have turned into the riot that it did.
00:13:03.600And that there are a handful of critical actors who really were there on the scene before the crowd moved from Trump's speech to the Capitol at all.
00:13:15.000We're doing things like cutting the fences, removing the barriers, positioning themselves in critical positions in order to have influence over the crowd.
00:13:24.300And that had it not been for those critical actors, I don't think we would have had the riot that we've seen.
00:13:34.100Do we know who those critical actors are?
00:14:15.980No, and not only that, but it's so funny.
00:14:19.040So, he was originally put on one of the top 20 most wanted, FBI most wanted.
00:14:25.100The New York Times did this big, scary story like, you know, the day of the insurrection.
00:14:30.600And they featured Epps as one of the people that proves that there was a plan to go in in advance.
00:14:37.000And then, all of a sudden, there's this 180 turn, this complete about face, where the New York Times, of all publications, does a fully dedicated puff piece to Ray Epps.
00:14:47.980And now, all of a sudden, he's the darling, and Adam Kinzinger is effectively operating as his defense counsel in the interrogation.
00:15:15.900And if people go to Revolver News, there's sort of the classic piece where we have all the video of it, and they can see for themselves what he's doing.
00:15:24.200But here's a guy who, like many of the others, was pre-positioned at the exact place at the exact time, right at that western perimeter where the first breach was.
00:15:49.460He's playing just this huge role in crowd control.
00:15:52.120And just as a matter of crowd psychology, if you're there in the crowd, you hear some authoritative voice with a bullhorn standing on top of the scaffold saying, move forward, we need your help.
00:16:03.880In many cases, he said, we need your help.
00:16:05.680So, if you're in the crowd, you think, okay, the barriers were cut down.
00:17:03.220So, he didn't even mention, he wasn't.
00:17:05.240No, he's not on any of the most wanted lists.
00:17:07.760He's not, you know, wanted to any degree, as far as I'm aware, by the government, by the Department of Justice, and nobody knows his name.
00:17:16.900He's simply referred to as a scaffold commander.
00:17:19.640And I was going to say, I don't want to get into all of my methods and tricks, but I pulled out all the stops, all the stops to identify this guy, including, you know, cutting edge facial recognition stuff, the whole deal.
00:18:48.160You know, that's a whole deal that we've covered extensively, but just, I want to go, I want to go there.
00:18:53.460But just for a quick point on the pipe bomber, we have the surveillance footage of the pipe bomber using his or her phone on the evening of January 5th.
00:19:05.400There's nothing that's more of a slam dunk for geo-fencing capability is to find this person.
00:19:14.340You have the, you have the place, you have the time.
00:19:20.660And yet now they're still pretending like they have no idea.
00:19:25.840And just to, just to, you know, keep up the pretenses.
00:19:30.560I don't know if you saw, but the other day they said, we're increasing the reward for the pipe bomber to half a million dollars, like, which isn't even that big of a reward compared to others.
00:19:41.920AOC, her life was in danger and that's only worth 500,000.
00:19:46.860Her life was in danger and the funny thing is this person planted an explosive device outside of the national headquarters of the Democrats and the Democrats don't even care who this person is.
00:20:03.140Heating bills are rising by 50 to 200% this winter, but a powerful heating technology used by EdenPure Gen 40 heater is already helping thousands of people save money on their heating.
00:20:16.860At EdenPure, an advanced heating engineer came up and combined an infrared heating system and convective heating system into one space heater.
00:20:28.540These two technologies work together to heat a home better than your current furnace or boiler, your baseboard heat and other space heaters.
00:20:36.680By using two forms of heating technology to heat a room, the Gen 40 heater makes you feel warmer and reduces your heating bills.
00:20:46.160Never be cold again and save money this month and month after month with EdenPure.
00:20:51.760Right now, you can get an additional $50 off the Gen 40s, the sale price with my discount code.
00:21:09.120One of the things that is weird about the pipe bomb is, I mean, there's a litany of things, but one of them is the apparent sudden desire of Kamala Harris to want to leave the Capitol where all the swearing in is happening.
00:22:17.860Now, that's really weird for a lot of reasons.
00:22:21.500But the main reason is, look, they're trying to milk this J6 insurrection for everything it's worth.
00:22:28.560Why would they forgo the opportunity to have the media amplify the danger of the insurrection by pointing out that the vice president-elect woman of color, you know, vice president-elect.
00:22:48.060By the white supremacists, MAGA, why would they forgo the opportunity to hammer that every single day to emphasize their narrative about January 6th being this big domestic terrorist?
00:23:04.040That's the most terrorist-like thing that happened on January 6th are these explosive devices.
00:23:10.620And yet, they covered up the fact that she was at the DNC for all of that time.
00:23:15.540And, you know, Secret Service, interestingly, is under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:23:21.400The Department of Homeland Security's main stooge in Congress is Benny Thompson, who's been the chair of the Homeland Security Committee for, I think, seven times.
00:23:30.000Because Department of Homeland Security generally is the tip of the spear when it comes to this domestic war on terror that we've been talking about.
00:23:36.620All just kind of interesting circumstantial data points, but interesting to keep in mind.
00:23:41.920But she was under Secret Service protection.
00:23:44.840Secret Service is on record saying that they did a sweep of the building, the entrances and exits and so forth.
00:23:51.220So, we've identified the exact location where this was.
00:23:56.120It's no more than 10 feet away from the parking garage and exits where the pipe bomb was planted.
00:24:02.900So, the Secret Service, by their own admission on record, they swept the area.
00:25:01.700She discovered the RNC pipe bomb at 12.40 p.m.
00:25:08.020She reports that the pipe bomb with the mechanical timer that you described, the mechanical timer is stuck on 20 minutes.
00:25:17.140So, she discovers the pipe bomb in this, like, ensconced in this back alley, not, like, immediately visible to anyone.
00:25:25.680Just by happenstance, she stumbles upon it.
00:25:28.640At 12.40, it's stuck on the dial 20 minutes left, such as to convey the exact impression, precisely, that it was set to go off at 1 p.m., which happened to be when the certification proceedings were to take place in Congress.
00:25:43.880But if it was set there at 8 o'clock, and she didn't find it, I mean, it could have been set there at 8 o'clock to go off at 8.20.
00:26:13.500The exact minute, when the timer is stuck on 20 minutes, she finds at 12.40, it has 20 minutes left, the certification proceeding is at 1, and the Ray Epps orchestrated attack on the western perimeter of the Capitol happens at 12.52.
00:26:31.960And so, when she discovers this RNC pipe bomb at 12.40, she calls in, the Capitol police start responding literally a minute before the Ray Epps breach on the western perimeter.
00:26:45.020So, it was the discovery of the RNC pipe bomb was so precisely coordinated both to the Ray Epps assault on the western perimeter and the certification proceeding that many officials, including the head of the Capitol police, Stephen Sund, reasonably concluded that the pipe bombs were there for diversionary purposes, to divert from the...
00:27:07.020Divert resources that would have been used to stop the Capitol breach, which would seem sensible, but for the fact that it was discovered by a random pedestrian.
00:27:17.760So, how is this pipe bomber who plants it the evening before going to be confident that it's going to be discovered to the exact minute to fulfill this diversionary purpose?
00:28:53.580And then the most elite protection detail in the world, the United States Secret Service, who's on record saying that they did the sweep of the entrance and exits.
00:30:01.120The surveillance footage that the FBI released of the DNC pipe bomber fails to include the footage of the DNC pipe bomber actually putting down the bomb.
00:30:14.580And we know that they have that footage because they've shown us footage from two different cameras.
00:30:19.740One camera would have had a very good angle of the pipe bomber planting the bomb, and yet they show us footage from the other camera.
00:30:27.820We know that they have both cameras because they've given us footage from both.
00:30:31.500They just haven't given us the footage from the one that would show the pipe bomber planting it.
00:30:39.500You know, I could say, I know for a fact that they're withholding it.
00:30:43.100I don't know why they would, but certainly in light of some of the things that we've just been talking about, it is deeply suspicious.
00:30:51.220And I think it warrants, you know, it's one thing to understand all these things and people are going to be listening to this saying, my God, this is so dark.
00:30:59.480What in the world are we going to do about this?
00:31:03.420I think you really need to focus, you know, it helps to focus on one specific agenda item.
00:31:11.560And the item that I'm focusing on is I think we need the full chain of custody of that surveillance footage, and we need the full, raw, unedited footage released.
00:32:24.780An attempted break-in to the DNC, which was a different location, but still it was DNC, was, you know, spearheaded arguably the biggest political scandal in American history.
00:32:36.540But we're just going to get the cheapest possible surveillance cameras, even if that were the case.
00:33:52.060And if there's a lack of courage in much of the commentariat, you know, forget about Congress.
00:33:58.360But the thing is, the reason that this is so elegant with the security footage is you don't have to subscribe to this fedsurrection thesis to demand the footage.
00:34:08.520You can simply say January 6th was a horrible day.
00:34:13.360Planting pipe bombs is a horrible thing.
00:34:15.340It's an act of terror where we support law and order.
00:34:18.640And we want to find who this terrorist is, whoever it is.
00:34:21.480And in order to do that, we're demanding the full unedited footage.
01:03:46.220It's almost it almost makes you think that whatever comes out, if they're if they're fighting it so hard, they would probably fight something that exposes incompetence and make them look like clowns.
01:03:57.620And they probably like all of these Hollywood shows that portray like CIA people as these like highly effective James Bond guys.
01:04:05.900I don't know if it's been like that for a while.
01:04:07.960Maybe maybe during the JFK period, that was sort of the last throw of the CIA's competence.
01:04:15.620I think now there are some foreign agencies that are competent CIA, maybe not so much.
01:04:21.660But no, you're you're absolutely right.
01:04:24.100This is this is the front and center issue.
01:04:26.800This is the chief bottleneck to progress.
01:04:28.920And, you know, we have also have to understand this in the broader context of the fact that we have this very same national security apparatus trying to gin us up for a new Cold War with China.
01:04:46.320People on the right were domestically.
01:04:48.940They're the whipping boy of the national security state.
01:04:51.820But then on the national security say, OK, we're we're going to suspend whipping you for two seconds so you can go and put on the uniform and fight our enemies in China.
01:06:38.140No, it seems like a kind of fundamental incongruence whereby so many Americans who are probably on the conservative side of things, they face day to day demoralization propaganda, effectively treated as domestic terrorists.
01:06:55.640And yet these are going to be the people that the national security state will expect to fight and die for Taiwan.
01:07:02.460You know, how how long is a situation like that sustainable?
01:07:05.860Maybe the propaganda is so good it is sustainable.
01:07:39.000And, you know, it's to your great credit because it is an uncomfortable thing, because I think especially for conservatives dispositionally, we want to venerate these institutions.
01:08:04.960They can call me whatever I whatever they want.
01:08:07.020But to me, I have I mean, I've had the FBI in my house because one of my kids was involved in somebody was trying to kidnap one of my kids.
01:08:18.800And so I had the FBI in my house and I respect them.
01:09:03.280And, you know, you see all of this cheap rhetoric coming from a lot of politicians who will again, you know, I think the situation in China is very bad.
01:09:25.940But if you're going to talk about that and not talk about January 6th, if you're going to talk about that and not talk about the situation our own country is in, it almost seems like these foreign policy things like, you know, China and definitely Russia are just a distraction from the fact that no one knows what to do with this national security state problem.
01:10:05.460And I think we all really need to stop being these cheap dates that allow them to get away with these types of deflections.
01:10:13.500Say you need to address the stuff that actually matters to our country.
01:10:17.660And maybe when we fix our country and the corrupt, degenerate, really illegitimate people who control it, then we can worry about foreign policy.
01:10:27.120Because as long as America is corrupt as it is, winning and geopolitically is simply enhancing the power of the corruption that controls the country.
01:10:37.300I know it is, you know, I said, I think in 2008, if we don't clean this up and admit the errors of our ways and clean it up, there's going to come a time when we are the darkest force ever to be in power on earth.
01:10:58.000And with our technology, especially the stuff that is right around the corner, my gosh, we're going to make the Nazis look like rookies if we don't rein this in.
01:11:32.680It doesn't provide a very inspiring vision of the world.
01:11:35.560But they don't subject their own people to constant demoralization propaganda.
01:11:41.000So people are ashamed of being Chinese.
01:11:43.420They do a lot of other things that, you know, they don't, you know, implement a kind of massive immigration program to, you know, basically replace China.
01:11:54.620There's certain pathologies that are so acute and so unique to the West that, you know, we really need to address these before we start pointing our fingers at what other countries are doing, including China and Russia.
01:12:09.620It's whenever somebody's on a human rights panel at the UN and it's Venezuela or it's Iran, you think, how is that possible?
01:12:29.880We, you know, I think the GIs in World War II atrocities in every, in every war and people go off the reservations.
01:12:41.320But I think for the most part, the world saw us, Europe saw us as liberators and we wanted to liberate them and we didn't want any of their stuff.
01:13:05.280I, I understand why people all around the world hate, you know, our interventional, you know, our interventions in their lives.
01:13:16.000Because if you say we stand for higher values and we don't torture, then that means we don't have ghost planes that pick you up and then take you to some rat infested country where they do torture.
