Summary
Just when we think we re starting to get a full picture of Twitter s censorship of conservative media outlets, we find out those in power apparently will stop at nothing to suppress the truth. Late yesterday, journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that the number two lawyer at Twitter, the person who was vetting the so-called Twitter files without Elon Musk knowing, is the one in charge of screening them.

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:11.760
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:15.080
Just when we think we're starting to get a full picture of Twitter's censorship of conservatives,
00:00:20.720
we find out those in power apparently will stop at nothing to suppress the truth.
00:00:25.720
This is unbelievable. Late yesterday, journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that the number two lawyer at Twitter,
00:00:34.280
the deputy general counsel, is the person who was vetting the so-called Twitter files without Elon Musk knowing.
00:00:43.600
Now, why is that a problem? Because he's been there since 2020 and the time of the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:00:52.300
He was neck deep in that decision, and now he is the one screening the documents that Elon Musk once released
00:01:00.680
to journalist Matt Taibbi and journalist Barry Weiss.
00:01:05.300
And this was not disclosed, and apparently Elon Musk didn't know it until Taibbi and Barry Weiss were saying,
00:01:11.900
hey, it's kind of slow going. We're not really getting the documents that you wanted us to have.
00:01:17.000
Can we dig a little deeper? And they asked, Barry Weiss asked, hey, who's who's in charge of the
00:01:23.520
screening? And the answer was Jim. Some no but no but name over at Twitter was like, it's Jim.
00:01:29.740
She's like, what's Jim's last name? Jim Baker. That's the deputy general counsel. That's the guy
00:01:36.140
who is neck deep in making the decision to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story to begin with.
00:01:40.720
And this is a guy who is as slick as they come, as slick as they come. There is no accident. He put
00:01:48.660
himself in charge of screening what the journalists would get and what they wouldn't get. And now his
00:01:53.720
ass is fired, rightfully so. Joining me now to discuss it, Jesse Kelly, host of The Jesse Kelly
00:01:59.140
Show and the show. I'm right. Love that, Jesse. Welcome back to the program.
00:02:04.500
Megan, it's an honor as always. And you nailed it with this guy. And obviously,
00:02:08.980
you know about his background. James Baker has a really slimy background before he walked in the
00:02:14.500
doors of Twitter. He was slimy at the FBI, which is a slightly bigger deal. And I'll tell you to what
00:02:20.560
you were just talking about, what I consider to be a big deal in this and pretty revealing is
00:02:24.460
Elon Musk didn't know. Now, Elon Musk is a lot of things. Stupid is not one of them, but it just goes
00:02:30.920
to show how deep the rod is. Unless you have two hours a day to dedicate to the Megan Kelly show,
00:02:37.120
even if you're Elon Musk, you don't know. You could have asked me about James Baker six months
00:02:41.640
ago. I would have told you that he's a piece of trash that should have been fired anyway.
00:02:46.040
How does Elon Musk know this? Because the rod is so deep, normal people don't realize.
00:02:51.080
Right. He's trying to save this company, which is in the midst of a crisis since he took it over.
00:02:55.960
He's not going through the resumes of everybody in the deputy general counsel position,
00:03:01.200
for example, the Baker role. Just the fact, just take a step back. Let's talk about James Baker for a
00:03:06.140
minute, because just the fact that Twitter hired him as deputy general counsel after he was forced
00:03:11.300
out of the FBI tells us a lot about the coziness, the inappropriate coziness between these government
00:03:19.280
agencies and our social media companies. Well, what we have, I call it the system, Megan. People
00:03:25.460
call it different things. I call it the system. We have all these cultural pillars, you know,
00:03:29.500
media and entertainment and politics and religion and all these education. Well, what's happened in this
00:03:35.160
country is they've all been taken over by the same ideology now. And they all, instead of working
00:03:40.080
as a check on one another, which ideally that's what you'd want, you know, if the media is losing
00:03:44.560
its mind, Hollywood would call it out. It's something like that. They all now believe the same things
00:03:49.020
about everything and they all just take care of each other. So it's why they don't care about Joe
00:03:53.040
Biden's approval ratings. Everyone's saying that Joe Biden, this Joe Biden, that John, what's her
00:03:59.180
name? The Corinne lady, Corinne diversity hire. She doesn't care about Joe Biden's approval ratings.
00:04:04.380
She's going to walk right out of the white house into a job at MSNBC or somewhere else. James Baker
00:04:09.840
gets frankly disgraced at the FBI by the crap he pulled there. He doesn't, he doesn't take a step
00:04:15.320
back and go on unemployment right to Twitter. He goes to be deputy general counsel. They just,
00:04:19.960
they never fall down. They seem to fall up into a different column.
00:04:24.040
That's right. So this guy was the one neck deep in that lawyer for the Clinton campaign,
00:04:29.060
Michael Sussman going into the FBI and saying, Hey, just, you know, not, not here on behalf of
00:04:33.360
Hillary, but I just want to let you know, Trump looks really dirty and might be having a back
00:04:37.380
channel communication with this alpha bank that's Russian. And, you know, just for a friend,
00:04:42.200
I'm just saying, you might want to look into it. James Baker, there he was dealing with the
00:04:46.240
dossier, the disgraced dossier. Andy McCarthy has a great piece up just getting into all the
00:04:50.880
disgusting history of James Baker smack dab in the middle of deliberations over suppressing the
00:04:56.060
laptop reporting among many other things. But when he was FBI general counsel back in 16 and 17,
00:05:02.160
he was also a top advisor to Jim Comey and was behind all the the FISA applications and,
00:05:10.020
you know, naming the Trump operatives and so on. All the stuff that's been in the news for the past
00:05:13.980
five, six years has basically got this guy's stamp on it. And where does he land? He lands at Twitter
00:05:20.120
where one of his first moves, apparently, in October 2020 was to suppress the reporting on Joe
00:05:26.820
Biden's son. And now full circle, Elon Musk takes over Twitter and says, we're gonna we're gonna air
00:05:34.520
it all out. I'm going to put it all out there. Twitter's been acting like an arm of the Democratic
00:05:38.860
National Committee. That's what Elon Musk said. And unbeknownst to him, he says, OK, all right,
00:05:43.900
I'm going to give it to my general counsel's office to review all the documents, make sure
00:05:46.700
Barry Weiss and Matt Taibbi get all these documents. And then they try to pull a fast
00:05:51.160
one by not telling the reporters who's actually doing the screening of the documents. And only
00:05:55.700
because Barry was like, Jim, who? Why am I getting slow rolled when the CEO and the owner of this
00:06:01.940
company has said, give me the documents? Who's Jim? Why is he dragging his feet? And the reveal
00:06:06.760
comes. It's Jim Baker. And that's when Elon fired him. Yeah, it's incredible.
00:06:12.620
It is amazing, Megan. And just I have a little story, if you if you don't mind me telling it here
00:06:17.000
for a second, a fascinating story, buddy. Mine told me it's one of these Noah guy who
00:06:20.560
know a guy. So I know a guy who knows a guy who graduated with Barack Obama. And we're talking
00:06:25.860
Harvard here. So when you're graduating Harvard, not that I will ever understand. That's more your
00:06:30.380
world than my idiot world. But when you're graduating, I went to Syracuse, babe. Well,
00:06:35.780
when you're when you're the type of person who could, I wouldn't be able to get through class
00:06:39.060
one. But if you graduate Harvard, what are you thinking? I'm going to go take over this industry.
00:06:43.800
I'm going to be a captain of this industry. I'm going to be if you're a lawyer, I'm going to go
00:06:47.800
work at this prestigious law firm and bill somebody for two thousand dollars an hour. And and they're
00:06:52.740
having a discussion post graduation with what they're going to do. And they're all doing that king of
00:06:57.300
the world thing. And he asked Barack Obama what he was going to do. And Barack Obama told him clear
00:07:01.780
back then he told him, I'm going to go be a community organizer. And they all pointed at him
00:07:06.820
and basically laughed at him to his face. What an idiot, what a loser all this time. And you're going
00:07:10.900
to be a community organizer. But Barack Obama understood all these people, James Baker, all of
00:07:15.360
them, they all understood that the most important thing is to become a gatekeeper, to find the choke
00:07:21.660
points of everything and learn to control that choke point. And then you control everything. You don't
00:07:26.120
have to take over everything. If you're James Baker and you want to politic on behalf of Democrats,
00:07:30.440
you have to get to the right position at the FBI that will allow you to do that. And then when you
00:07:35.800
leave that position, you don't have to take over all of Twitter. You actually saw in that reveal,
00:07:40.160
a lot of Twitter executives, when they suppressed the story, were saying, I don't think we can do this.
00:07:45.400
Is this OK? But it didn't matter because he found the choke point that the dirty ones always find the
00:07:51.340
choke points. And that's what they do. They've done it all over the society. They're probably doing
00:07:55.960
it in your hometown right now, whoever's watching. Well, that's the thing, because now we've seen
00:08:01.000
how embarrassing the behavior was at Twitter. You know, I mean, they were suppressed, suppressed.
00:08:05.380
This is it. Let's get it down. You got a couple of people who are like, I don't know. This kind of
00:08:08.860
seems like maybe we shouldn't do it. And everybody was like, no, we're doing it. We're doing it.
00:08:12.900
But there's a bigger story, of course, and that is why. Why? Why were they so primed to be looking for
00:08:19.680
hacking and disinformation campaigns? And no, it's not because of the Russians. It's because
00:08:25.020
of the FBI, because the FBI had gone in there to Twitter, according to the Twitter executives
00:08:30.360
and said, get ready. We expect same as they did at Facebook. We expect you may likely receive
00:08:37.660
disinformation, Russian born about in particular, Joe Biden and potentially Hunter Biden. And the reason
00:08:46.520
that's so disgusting, right, because I understand there's no question the Russians did push out
00:08:51.260
disinformation in the 2016 election. They did. That's that's been documented. But so you might
00:08:55.640
say, OK, well, well, the FBI should be alerting people. We don't want the Russians messing with
00:08:58.820
our elections. You know, win, win or lose. We don't want the Russians calling the shots. But the thing is,
00:09:04.040
they did that with Twitter and Facebook and who knows what other social media companies
00:09:08.120
when the FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop in its possession. They'd already been given
00:09:16.400
the laptop by the legally blind computer repairman back in twenty nineteen. And these warnings were
00:09:23.120
going out after that. They didn't bother to investigate it. It was easily ascertainable as
00:09:28.240
legit. So either they didn't do it because they didn't care or they did do it and then they chose to
00:09:34.900
lie about it. Either way, it's a terrible look for the FBI. More than a terrible look, Megan, it's
00:09:42.300
frightening. I mean, it's it's not like an outrageous story. It's a frightening story when people consider
00:09:48.020
the timeline that you just very clearly laid out. Twenty nineteen, the FBI finds itself in possession
00:09:53.720
of a laptop with all kinds of criminal activity on it. And I'm not talking about doing some booger
00:09:59.360
sugar with some European hookers. I mean, some really dark, dark things out there, dark things
00:10:04.060
and tying Joe Biden to these things. So the FBI has it in twenty nineteen. They suppress it. They
00:10:09.460
basically sit on it like the laptop repair guy said they would sit on it. And after they sat on
00:10:14.220
it, they they're wiretapping and doing who knows what else to Rudy Giuliani. So they find out ahead
00:10:19.980
of time that this story is going to get some legs and be released. They could do an all hands on deck
00:10:25.560
with the social media companies and tell them preemptively before it comes out to suppress the story
00:10:30.920
that's about to come out that they know to be true. You mentioned, did they know or didn't they
00:10:35.140
know? OK, so we either have an FBI that's incompetent or we have an FBI that is the checkup.
00:10:42.360
Either one of those things, neither are acceptable for an organization with the power to destroy
00:10:47.040
anybody's life. Anyone in this country, if they set their sights on you, they can destroy your life
00:10:51.080
and they will destroy your life. How do you justify that organization's continued existence if it's
00:10:57.060
either a that stupid or be what they really are that corrupt? The thing is, you so this to me,
00:11:04.780
it doesn't excuse the Twitter executives behavior, but it does soften it a little, because as we saw
00:11:11.060
in that interview that Yoel Roth gave to Kara Swisher, this is a very scared, weak man. I mean,
00:11:18.120
this is a scared, weak man. We were suffering trauma on January six when we were trying to decide
00:11:23.420
what to suppress was trauma. You weren't there, brother. You were doing Twitter suppression.
00:11:28.200
OK, you were not on the Capitol. So take a seat. In any event, I'm going to I'm not giving him a pass,
00:11:34.240
but I'm just saying now you take a soft, scared guy like that and you sit him down from the with
00:11:39.460
the FBI and they say, yo, the Hunter Biden laptop story could be coming, essentially something like
00:11:45.180
this and be on the lookout. And it's Russian disinformation. That guy doesn't have the benefit
00:11:49.480
of knowing anything that the FBI knows, which is, oh, wait, there really is a Hunter Biden laptop
00:11:53.820
and the FBI has reviewed it. And there's all this stuff on there that's verifiable. He's just been
00:11:57.520
told by a scary man in a dark suit. Be on the lookout. Oh, and by the way, I'm law enforcement
00:12:02.160
like you could. The implicit threat is you could be in trouble if you publish this. So, I mean,
00:12:09.320
that's why we typically don't have the FBI running around speaking to organizations like this.
00:12:13.600
You know what? That's another question Andy raises, which is since when do we sick the FBI on social
00:12:18.660
media companies with the imprimatur of the Justice Department behind them warning them what's going
00:12:25.260
to happen if they don't suppress, if they don't censor? Well, you nailed a big part of this that
00:12:31.760
people don't consider, Megan, is what it means to people, especially a guy like UL Roth. I mean,
00:12:37.300
a guy with the testosterone levels of an eight year old girl when the FBI knocks on his door and shows
00:12:43.180
him an FBI badge, that guy probably soiled his granny panties right when they show that whole thing.
00:12:47.880
That's the kind of guy, and that's what the FBI knows that they'll do. And when you have such a
00:12:53.360
system in this country that has created this world of make-believe where they're not Republicans,
00:12:58.640
you know, they're Nazi white supremacists adjacent to Hitler, January 6th almost ended the country.
00:13:03.900
I mean, this ridiculous over-the-top hyperbole that you've ingrained in these people's minds,
00:13:08.760
and now you show up and say, we've got information on basically Hitler. They fall all over themselves and
00:13:14.420
feel like they're the good guys when they're censoring. That's what blows me away all the
00:13:18.220
time when you study these people and how much they censor and why they censor. They're always
00:13:22.460
100% convinced, Megan, that they're the good guy in the story. No, no, no, no. It's for your own
00:13:27.300
good that we kick this doctor off our YouTube because he said something about COVID we didn't
00:13:31.100
like. We're trying to protect you. They feel like they're the good guys. These commies always do.
00:13:35.620
Well, that because that's the thing. If this if this FBI had been sitting down with with this Yoel
00:13:40.460
Roth and said something's coming in on Donald Trump Jr. or, you know, we want you to be on
00:13:46.320
the lookout for Russian disinformation about the Trumps. I have to imagine Twitter might have felt
00:13:51.820
differently. Twitter might have felt the way a traditional news organization would feel when
00:13:56.340
getting bullied by the FBI, which is you can pound sand. You and I are in different businesses.
00:14:01.920
I don't answer to you. You don't get to threaten me about my reporting unless, you know, in these
00:14:06.660
highly unusual situations where there's a national security threat, if we go ahead and report,
00:14:10.820
you know, the X about this particular spy or this. But, you know, those are very, very rare exceptions
00:14:16.060
to where, you know, the general principle that journalists don't answer to the FBI.
00:14:21.120
And so Twitter but Twitter went right down on the knee. They went right down on the knee. And so why
00:14:25.880
did they do that? Because it was going to hurt. It was going to hurt Hunter Biden. It was a Biden.
00:14:30.980
They didn't want to report the story. The FBI knew that the FBI didn't want them to report the story.
00:14:36.780
So they got in the field position in a way that I really did. There's no question they wouldn't
00:14:40.940
have done had it been reporting on Donald Trump Jr. Well, you mentioned the national security threat
00:14:45.480
thing, Megan. Isn't that what they've done? I mean, how many times Joe Biden get that long speech,
00:14:49.880
that dark speech about threat to democracy, the end of the republic, a threat to the very foundations
00:14:55.500
of the republic over and over and over and over again. They campaigned on a threat to democracy,
00:14:59.620
threat to democracy. What are they doing? They're cementing in the minds of so many Americans
00:15:05.340
that anyone who disagrees with them politically isn't just someone who disagrees with them
00:15:09.680
politically. It's, of course, a national security threat. Now, why would they be trying to classify
00:15:14.800
their political opponents as a national security threat? There's only one reason you would do that.
00:15:18.920
You would do that so you could then justify in your mind and legally the use of state power
00:15:25.340
against the person who's a national security threat. If I'm just a person who votes right,
00:15:30.140
or I'm a right winger, a Republican, or whatever the case may be, well, you can't send the FBI to
00:15:35.840
my door. But if I'm a national security threat threatening the foundations of the republic,
00:15:41.060
what can't you do to me, Megan? If I become a domestic terrorist in your eyes, really anything
00:15:46.340
you do is justified, right? That's what these people have done. And that's what they're doing. It's not
00:15:51.000
some pendulum swing either. They're just getting bolder and bolder and bolder as they go along.
00:15:55.520
Well, and the other thing about Twitter is by 2020, when they were getting this warning,
00:16:02.020
we understood the FBI had to be charitable a very checkered past few years when it came to getting
00:16:09.540
involved inappropriately in politics and misrepresenting facts that could be potentially
00:16:15.460
harmful to Trump and helpful to his opponents. Right. And so, I mean, any normal sentient human
00:16:22.720
being might have said, I'm going to have to put a big old asterisk on what the FBI is telling me.
00:16:28.380
And I better run this down through a couple of different channels so I can make sure I'm not
00:16:33.880
doing the wrong thing here. Right. There was we'd already been through an impeachment. We understood what
00:16:39.080
they had done with the FISA courts, with all the bullshit, you know, with the Russiagate.
00:16:43.240
Right. And yet there was absolutely no skepticism by the folks on the Twitter receiving end. And then
00:16:49.160
the final capper, you know, the person making the ultimate decisions over there happens to have
00:16:54.200
come to Twitter from the FBI. It's just like a perfect storm.
00:17:00.360
That's the thing, Megan. I mean, I guess I'll push back on that a little bit as we think, you know,
00:17:04.960
any normal person looking at what the FBI had done would start questioning the FBI. But I think we
00:17:10.420
have to acknowledge, I mean, how many people sit down? There are lots and lots of them. And they
00:17:14.200
listen to the Megyn Kelly show for two hours a day or watch two hours a day. That person doesn't
00:17:19.720
understand how uniquely informed they are. They think, oh, it's just something I do. I listen at
00:17:25.400
work. I listen when I work out. No, you don't understand. You're in the one or two percent of the
00:17:30.300
most informed people in the United States of America. Most people don't think of the FBI as the
00:17:37.260
Democrats enforcement arm. When you tell people you really can't trust the FDA anymore, they look
00:17:43.460
at you like, OK, weirdo, take the tinfoil off your head. What are you talking about? It's hard to
00:17:48.760
convince normal people, not people like you and me and your audience. It's hard to convince normal
00:17:53.860
people that every traditional institution they have previously trusted has now been infiltrated
00:18:00.300
and taken over and corrupted. And they're not biased. They're not left-leaning. They're lying
00:18:06.220
to your face at all times. If somebody wins a Pulitzer Prize, you should automatically assume
00:18:12.040
instead of that being the best journalist, that's the biggest liar out there. That's crazy to have to
00:18:18.520
bring your normal thinking neighbor into that realm and wake him up and say, buddy, no, you don't
00:18:23.760
understand. Elon Musk doesn't understand still, Megan. Like we talked about at the beginning of the
00:18:28.740
show. He was caught totally off guard by James Baker. Everyone who listens to your show is
00:18:34.100
known about James Baker for how long? Anyone who listens to my show is known about him for two
00:18:38.220
years. Elon Musk, richest guy in the world. His IQ is gigantic. No idea. Found out like yesterday.
00:18:45.440
What? James Baker? We don't understand how unique we are. Your listeners don't understand how unique
00:18:51.140
they are, to their credit, but they don't. Yeah. Well, on that front, it reminded me of something else
00:18:56.200
that was in the news that I think you tweeted about. And that is, you know, you were saying
00:18:59.420
you've got to be very skeptical of these people with these pedigrees. And, you know, like you get
00:19:04.220
no longer is winning the Pulitzer a sign of your, you know, tenacious reporting. It's probably a sign
00:19:10.200
of your fealty to an agenda-based organization. Like this modern day journalism is completely leftist.
00:19:17.680
And this brings me to Yale School of Medicine, which has decided to name its commencement speaker for the
00:19:25.040
upcoming year. As, do you want to tell the people who they're having?
00:19:29.400
Oh, Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci, the guy responsible. I mean, whatever people think about lockdowns,
00:19:35.940
COVID, or vaccines, it really, really doesn't matter at this point in time. We can argue about this all day long.
00:19:40.420
Medically alone, the guy has done unending amounts of damage. And we know now from depositions
00:19:45.520
he's had to give to Missouri's Attorney General that he knew masks were stupid and ridiculous and didn't work.
00:19:51.400
That's not me saying that. That's in the deposition. We had the documentation. He's texting and emailing
00:19:56.200
with friends. Don't wear the mask. That's stupid. And then he's going on television and he's driving
00:20:01.040
teenage anxiety through the roof. Teenage girl suicides up 51%. The medical harm this guy did,
00:20:07.980
medical harm to this country is unending. And what does he get at the end of that? Does he get fired,
00:20:12.860
put on trial, sued? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's walking away from the government with a $400,000
00:20:18.140
a year pension and giving the commencement speech at one of the most prestigious universities in the
00:20:23.240
United States of America. Right back to what we were just talking about, Megan. How do you convince
00:20:28.260
your relatively normal neighbor who agrees with you on most everything, but doesn't pay attention?
00:20:33.020
How do you convince him that, no, no, you should be more suspicious of someone who graduates from Yale
00:20:38.260
as someone who went to my community college? That's a hard thing to wake someone up to realize.
00:20:43.280
That's true. And honestly, it's like the people for whom that is an impressive pedigree are not
00:20:49.500
people for whom you want to work. I mean, like, yes, it will open doors. Will they be the right
00:20:54.520
doors? I would suggest no, not not anymore. Times have changed. To your point in that deposition of
00:21:00.400
Dr. Fauci, here's the here's the exchange you were referencing. Question to Fauci. Do you recall
00:21:06.840
writing this in response to a person who was about to travel out, Sylvia, on an airplane?
00:21:10.740
Um, this is doctor. They're quoting Dr. Fauci's own email quote masks are really for infected people
00:21:16.860
to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting
00:21:21.160
uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drugstore is not
00:21:26.040
really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might,
00:21:31.220
however, provide some slight benefit in keeping out gross droplets. If someone coughs or sneezes on
00:21:36.920
you, I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you're going to a low risk
00:21:43.920
location. Do you recall writing that? I vaguely recall talking to her about certain safety issues
00:21:50.560
regarding masks. That's that's as much as he would say. It's right there. It's right there. And you're
00:21:55.360
right. So absolutely no accountability for anything Fauci did. All of the lies he told, the bad decisions
00:22:00.820
he made, the funding of the gain of function research, which suddenly he doesn't remember in
00:22:05.380
the deposition. I'm really not familiar with it. You're not. You're not familiar. You're not familiar
00:22:10.880
at this point. It may have caused a global pandemic. What was happening there? We'll never know,
00:22:15.960
apparently, because we can't get real answers from the Chinese or from you. And you can still sit here
00:22:20.940
and say, oh, I don't know. I'm not familiar. And now he's going to go be honored as the Yale commencement
00:22:25.880
speaker for the future doctors of America. It's infuriating. It's infuriating. And it's honestly
00:22:32.380
a little scary if you take it to this logical conclusion, Megan, because I I'm sure you have.
00:22:37.840
I don't even know how many sources you must have in the medical community between doctors and nurses
00:22:42.320
and hospital administrators. But I know I have a bunch. So I'm sure you have about 10 times that many
00:22:47.180
than the things they tell me about the new crops coming out of college. Now the new crop of doctors,
00:22:54.600
nurses, nurses, it is not good, Megan, the things these people believe are really not good. And
00:23:01.000
back to what we were just talking about. It's the most prestigious universities, Johns Hopkins, MIT,
00:23:07.020
Yale, all these all these big shot universities that look so sexy on a resume. Wow, he must be the
00:23:13.160
best. He's going to work for the best. What do you do if you live in a country where five years from
00:23:19.700
now you go sit down with a doctor you trust you pay a fortune for after all he went to Yale.
00:23:24.060
And that doctor thinks, oh, I don't know. I don't think you deserve the same level of treatment
00:23:28.880
because you're white. Now that may sound crazy. Go look at what's happening right now at the highest
00:23:34.620
universities in this country and tell me what do we do when our medical institutions are completely
00:23:39.840
corrupted, just like everything else. What if the medical community was as corrupt as the American
00:23:44.820
media? That's shock you. It should shock you because that's where we're going. And we're going there real
00:23:49.260
fast. My God. I mean, just the fact that they would that they would honor it. I realize it's
00:23:53.320
Yale. Yale's about as woke as they come. It's absolutely disgusting. This is why some judges
00:23:57.620
now, some federal judges are saying, I won't hire from Yale. I'm not accepting clerks from Yale Law
00:24:03.260
School. Thank goodness. Right. I mean, because look, I can I could argue the other way, like get them in
00:24:07.960
there and try to get the brainwashing off of them. But who's got time? Who's got time? Right. It's like
00:24:12.780
and maybe maybe they'll sign up for the Federalist Society if they think you can get in with this
00:24:17.380
other judge. Well, they'll be exposed to other ideas besides their crazy, woke leftist ones.
00:24:21.340
But the point is, there has to be some sort of negative consequence to these woke young lawyers,
00:24:26.120
these woke young doctors, or they're just going to keep going down that path. And it's dangerous
00:24:30.560
in medicine. It's actually dangerous. Oh, it's it's really dangerous, Megan. Medicine and legal,
00:24:37.140
too. I mean, I don't want to change the subject on you, but the legal professions already been
00:24:41.340
I'm not preaching to the choir. You're already been tainted horribly by this leftist ideology.
00:24:46.580
Well, these kids who are graduating places like Georgetown Law, I mean, like the top ones out there,
00:24:52.320
they are full blown nutballs in the malfeasance we've seen recently in this country from judges.
00:24:58.020
Well, guess where that kid who graduated Georgetown this year? Guess where he's going to end up one day,
00:25:02.620
possibly as a judge presiding over your case. What do you think he's going to think about those memes
00:25:07.580
you were sharing with the buddy on Facebook? How much of a national security threat do you think
00:25:12.080
he's going to think you are? The corruption of our system, every part of our system coming up from
00:25:18.660
our university system is really scary when you when you take it to its logical conclusion.
00:25:23.680
Thank God for the Supreme Court right now. That's that's all I can say is that they're the last line
00:25:27.220
of defense on this at the moment. All right. I'm going to take a quick break, but then I'm going to come
00:25:31.960
back because I want to talk to you about what happened in Georgia last night. Herschel Walker went down
00:25:36.180
and Raphael Warnock has been reelected. And now it's official that the GOP's position in the Senate
00:25:41.260
is even worse than it was before the midterms. Jesse's been one of the most interesting commentators
00:25:48.060
on the midterm results. I've been trying to get him on since the midterms. So this is the perfect
00:25:52.860
day to have him more with him and his thoughts on this and what it means for Republicans next.
00:25:58.120
So it's official. Herschel Walker lost and he lost big. He lost. Well, Warnock finished ahead
00:26:09.900
of Walker in November by thirty seven thousand votes. His lead right now over Walker is almost
00:26:15.260
one hundred thousand votes, ninety seven thousand and change. So it's decisive victory, not particularly
00:26:21.000
surprising. And, you know, it's it. It is official that the Trump supported candidates did very poorly.
00:26:29.640
J.D. Vance won in Ohio. But, you know, you could have predicted that based on most Republicans.
00:26:34.280
Herschel Walker was handpicked by Trump. I don't know if you can blame it all on Trump. Herschel
00:26:38.200
Walker had so many issues, but there is a question of vetting and whether he should have been chosen.
00:26:42.380
And it's just been a complete disaster for the GOP in the Senate, at least this midterm election.
00:26:47.840
They had such opportunity in front of them. And that opportunity was massively blown.
00:26:52.620
So you had tweeted out after the disappointing to Republicans midterms. Tomorrow's a new day.
00:27:00.960
The fight goes on. If you're bummed, wake up and lick your wounds, then get back after it.
00:27:06.020
They're never going to stop. Neither should you. So what does that look like, do you think, now in the
00:27:11.500
wake of this? Well, locally is what it looks like, Megan. And this is this is I talk about this all the
00:27:17.040
time. And it's not sexy. Right. Everyone wants to talk about who's going to be president 2024 or who's
00:27:22.720
going to be senator, congressman, because those are the people we see on TV. Those people come on the
00:27:27.300
Megyn Kelly show. Those are the big shots. Right. We want to talk about the big shots. The federal
00:27:32.420
government sucks and the federal government is probably lost. And the national GOP is just just
00:27:38.520
absolutely despicable in every possible way. Now, I wanted Herschel Walker to win. So that sucks.
00:27:43.700
But wake up today and tell me it's 5149 in the Senate. I don't give a crap. We just had 15
00:27:49.980
Republicans go over and vote with Democrats on a gun control bill. I'm supposed to be bummed out
00:27:55.740
now because we don't have the Senate. We wouldn't have had the Senate if it was 5149 Republicans
00:28:00.020
because Washington, D.C. Republicans suck and they don't stand for anything and they're not fighting
00:28:04.760
back against anything. They've always been this way and they're just worse now than they've ever been.
00:28:09.000
But locally, we have so much we can do. People don't realize how much power they have.
00:28:16.480
Give them Congress and the Senate. Screw them. Go win your school board race. Go for city council.
00:28:22.120
Go for county board of supervisors. The country nationally is in very, very deep trouble and
00:28:26.420
the federal government is probably beyond repair. But your local community, that's the most important
00:28:32.320
part of your life. You can still win races there. You can change the culture around you,
00:28:37.480
get to know your neighbor, run for local things. That's what really matters. Okay,
00:28:45.860
It's interesting because a couple of years ago, I went down and talked to Moms for Liberty
00:28:49.020
in Florida. And this is a great group. And they've been working very hard to push back on the
00:28:53.620
indoctrination of our children and the overmasking and the vaccine, all that. They just take on
00:28:59.040
parental. They want parental choice and parental rights restored in the classroom.
00:29:03.140
And, um, they were talking about, this is two years ago, how some of them had run for school
00:29:09.640
board and some of them had made it on school boards and had, had feces smeared on their
00:29:15.760
front doors. I mean, the, the blowback on these women, these moms for saying, don't tell my kid
00:29:22.840
there's something inherently wrong with him based on his skin color, right? This is what they were
00:29:26.720
saying. And they were target. Then you look at what happened in this last election and the
00:29:31.660
Republicans won every single school board that they fought for. I think either all of them or
00:29:36.140
like all of them minus two or three. I mean, thanks to Ron DeSantis and his coattails in part,
00:29:41.200
but also thanks to their hard work that they'd been doing community by community. And that really
00:29:46.340
is going to change the lives of these school children in Florida more than anything else.
00:29:50.840
It's going to change the country, Megan. I mean, this is the, the communists didn't take over this
00:29:55.400
daggone country from Washington, DC. That's, that's all we see now. This is what we see on
00:29:59.960
television. They took over the country, starting with the education of our children. It is the most
00:30:04.960
important thing in the nation. And it's hard to convince someone that they wake up in the morning
00:30:09.680
and they look at the news and they think, oh, it's terrible. What do I do? It's hard to convince
00:30:13.660
that person. Your local school board race is actually how you save that country. You're worried
00:30:17.980
about it. It doesn't seem that way. It seems, well, that's not a big solution. There's no
00:30:22.560
solution. There's no election, no midterm, no presidential election that is going to undo
00:30:28.080
what's been done to this country. It's taken a long time to get us here. It's going to take a
00:30:32.080
long time to get us back. What, what I always make the tree analogy, people, people look at the
00:30:37.620
country and they want to fix it, but what they see is they see the leaves, right? You see the branches
00:30:41.960
and the leaves and you think that's how you fix it. That's not what makes a tree. What makes a tree
00:30:46.360
are the roots. It's what you can't see. Washington DC is the leaves and the branches. It's what you
00:30:51.160
see and all the pretty flowers. They didn't take over the country by getting the branches. They got
00:30:55.660
the roots. The roots are where we have to begin. And there is so much local good. We're winning like
00:31:01.300
all these school board races as you brought up across the country, but we're winning city council
00:31:05.380
races, sheriffs, uh, County board of supervisors, state house, state legislature. There are huge pockets
00:31:13.360
of this country that are salvageable and wonderful. And we can do a lot of good if we would focus
00:31:18.140
local locals. What I care about the most. So national GOP sucks. I should remind our audience
00:31:23.540
that you actually back in the day ran for office and served our country honorably as a U S Marine
00:31:27.960
went to Iraq. Um, so you know how to fight and you you've dabbled in politics. Like you've got some
00:31:33.060
experience behind these opinions. Um, whenever I listened to you, it makes me want to fight harder.
00:31:38.020
And it, it, it's a good counter to my natural inclination, which is, you know, I, I'm fine
00:31:44.840
with fighting, but I'm softer hearted. I think, um, the Mike, Mike Kelly brother, we're, we must be
00:31:51.620
related. We've talked about it before. We don't know. But in any event, sometimes I listen to you
00:31:55.380
and I'm like, you know what, he's got a point. Cause I'm like, well, we should try to be tolerant.
00:31:59.440
We should say pronouns, but then we should fight against child mutilation and that kind of thing.
00:32:03.660
But you, I, you know, you're kind of like MK, like pump the brakes because you know what tolerance
00:32:09.340
gets you in dealing with these people who are trying to destroy the, our way of living,
00:32:14.320
who don't want you to be in charge of what happens to your kid and so on. And I thought of you,
00:32:18.100
Jesse, when this, this soundbite was making the rounds on Twitter, courtesy of libs of Tik TOK.
00:32:22.020
And I was like, Jesse Kelly is right. It's right. Again, watch this. This is where the pronoun thing
00:32:29.120
is going. Hello. I'm not Magpie. I'm Tal, but I can explain. So Magpie's pronoun set is it,
00:32:35.420
Bug, Dirt, they, right? It and they are used normally. So its name is Magpie. The sweater
00:32:40.980
belongs to it and it was going by itself. And then their name is Magpie. This belongs to them.
00:32:46.060
They were going by themselves. For Bug, it would be Bug's name is Magpie. The sweater belongs to Bug.
00:32:50.600
Bug was going by Bug's self. And then for Dirt, it would be Dirt is Magpie. The sweater belongs
00:32:55.120
to Dirt. Dirt was going by Dirt's self. You can use these interchangeably in a sentence.
00:32:59.120
You can use just one of them, or you can use different ones at different times.
00:33:04.260
Hope this helps explain the new pronouns Bug and Dirt and how they, we have to use those
00:33:09.360
now instead of just she, he, they, what, I mean, there's no end.
00:33:12.500
Well, there's no end. And that's why, I mean, you brought up your soft part, Megan,
00:33:15.800
you want to be more like you than like me. I understand that I'm a cold individual. I really
00:33:20.200
do understand that. But I also do understand the mind of these people and where this is going. We,
00:33:25.260
we, we, we tolerate them, right? We want to be kind. And that's something you want to be. I want
00:33:30.040
my sons to be kind. I want them to have soft hearts. I want them to be that, but I also want
00:33:34.860
them to understand when they're dealing with somebody who is their mortal enemy and treat
00:33:39.860
them as a mortal enemy. Once you've been proven of that, we're not dealing with people who, who just
00:33:44.920
feel like we need a different color of drapes in the house. Let's just, we just have a different
00:33:49.060
opinion on the drape color. We're dealing with people who want to burn down the house and they're going to
00:33:54.120
try to burn down the house. You have to assess what you're dealing with. We're dealing with people
00:33:59.260
who want the destruction of every single part of your culture that you value. That is their religion.
00:34:05.280
That is what they believe. For whatever reason, we have these different malcontents and they want to
00:34:10.000
destroy it all. Well, I can't be tolerant of that. I'm not going to be tolerant of that. You want to
00:34:14.760
destroy what I love. I don't want you to. We're going to have to fight about it. And then we'll figure
00:34:18.680
out who wins in the end. One of the, I mean, the biggest issues for the left, the woke left in
00:34:25.900
their lectures is climate change. And we've seen a fair amount of that recently. I mean, it's, it's
00:34:30.640
what's happening over with the Dutch farmers. Now they are actually starting to seize the Dutch
00:34:35.200
farmers farms. They refuse to take the buyouts. And so they're just going to lose their farms because
00:34:39.240
they've decided, well, too many emissions from your farm and you're near an environmentally sensitive
00:34:43.280
area. And therefore we're taking your farm. Good luck making your future living. It's really not
00:34:48.160
our concern. I know we, we had, um, we went into this in depth last Friday and it's really, we worry
00:34:52.700
that that's a canary in the coal mine because we have woke activists over here who are obsessed with
00:34:57.080
climate change, who would in a second, in a second, take American farms if they thought they could get
00:35:02.080
away with it. Um, it's a cause near and dear to the heart of Prince Harry, Jesse, who was honored in
00:35:11.520
New York last night, not withstanding his past swastika wearing as a Halloween costume and his
00:35:16.540
use of, um, racial slurs against his fellow, uh, platoon mates. He was honored for his anti-racist
00:35:24.000
behaviors. Um, and on his way to receive his honor, he took a private jet. Then he got into a gas guzzling
00:35:32.680
SUV. Then he was part of a convoy of SUVs, which I think numerous numbered, uh, was it three or six
00:35:41.040
uh, SUVs that they always fought. It was three SUVs accompanied by five security guards after
00:35:46.200
their private jet. And all I could think of was this little soundbite from Prince Harry, same man
00:35:52.120
at the UN in July, a Nelson Mandela international day. Listen to this.
00:35:58.880
This has been a painful year in a painful decade. We're living through a pandemic that continues to
00:36:06.420
ravage communities in every corner of the globe. Climate change wreaking havoc on our planet with
00:36:13.940
the most vulnerable suffering most of all. And I am the one perpetrating it. So I'm sure he'd want
00:36:22.400
you to give up your SUV. He doesn't want you in a private jet, but you know, for him, it's a different
00:36:26.540
story. He's a Royal. Oh, well, well, people should understand this way of thinking goes way beyond
00:36:32.380
princes. They all think they're princes now, Megan. We were fond of doing this on the right
00:36:37.700
where I'm on the right. We point out hypocrisy, right? That's what, uh, conservatism has been
00:36:42.580
most of my life. I was a hypocrite. Look at this hypocrite. Look what a hypocrite he is. He's not a
00:36:46.940
hypocrite. All right. He's not a hypocrite at all. He sees himself as a King and a queen. He sees you
00:36:53.440
as a peasant. He's not a hypocrite. Of course, the Kings and Queens get access to gas guzzling SUVs
00:36:59.540
and private jets. And they're going to tell you to eat bugs and enjoy the bug soup while they sip on,
00:37:05.020
you know, champagne and eat filet mignon. But it's not hypocrisy at all. Kings and Queens get access
00:37:11.240
to things. Peasants do not. Because he's a King and Queen, he gets to decide what you believe.
00:37:17.000
He gets to decide what you're allowed to say, what guns you're allowed to own, what car you're allowed to
00:37:20.920
drive, what job you're allowed to do, because that's what Kings and Queens do. You peasant,
00:37:25.600
you don't get access to the thing Kings and Queens do. We saw this during COVID all the time when every
00:37:30.220
single Tom, Dick and Harry lockdown politician got caught on somebody's cell phone camera the next
00:37:34.920
night out partying with no mass hugging people. It wasn't hypocrisy. It was never hypocrisy. It was
00:37:40.460
them being above you. The leaders of the West used to see themselves as the Knights protecting
00:37:45.920
freedom. Now they see themselves as Kings and Queens, and they find your freedoms to be
00:37:51.460
ridiculous. All of them, definitely your climate freedom. And I want people to understand what this
00:37:55.400
looks like in practice because they, I get people yelling at me sometimes because I call these people
00:37:59.240
communists, even though that's clearly what they are. And I believe it's Oxfordshire County. I don't
00:38:04.100
know. I'm not from that place, but it's over there in the UK. They're doing a test run in 2024 of
00:38:09.320
climate lockdowns. You didn't think we were done with a lockdown thing, did you? And here's what it
00:38:13.700
looks like. They're going to divide Oxfordshire County into six zones. They are then going to
00:38:20.200
set up checkpoints and the main roads between the zones. And you have so many times you're allowed
00:38:26.240
to travel in between the zones and they will determine who gets a travel pass and who does
00:38:31.780
not get a travel pass. Papers, please. Do you really still think you're not dealing with communists?
00:38:37.200
That's exactly what all these people are. That is scary. And honestly, back to the Dutch farmers,
00:38:41.960
you're starting to see the extreme ends of this, of this just moral insanity.
00:38:49.200
He's not the only one, Prince Harry lecturing us. I don't know if you caught the Jane Fonda clip
00:38:53.180
on MSNBC with Ari Melber, but you may not be. I know you're very worried about feminism
00:38:58.280
and toxic masculinity. So this clip is for you, Mr. Kelly. Jane Fonda, Hanoid Jane has got thoughts
00:39:05.860
on the true root cause of climate change. Listen.
00:39:10.640
I learned more about climate as I really dig deep, as I have for the last four or five years.
00:39:16.160
What you realize is if there were no racism, there'd be no climate crisis.
00:39:23.200
If there was no misogyny, there'd be no climate crisis. It's a, it's part of a mindset.
00:39:28.600
It's the mindset that looks at a woman and says, nice tits.
00:39:38.820
Megan, one, it pains me to say this about that woman who I loathe, but she does.
00:39:44.700
She's still really hot, especially at that age. Credit to Jane Fonda for being so hot.
00:39:49.620
And it's hard for a feminist to be that hot for that long because bitterness,
00:39:53.660
it ages you faster than a two pack a day cigarette habit. I have it on good authority. She's had
00:39:59.240
some work done, but FYI, don't ask her about it. You know what? Oh, I'm shocked because her
00:40:04.600
cheeks don't move anymore. But still, I mean, credit to Jane Fonda for that. But everything,
00:40:09.300
I'm actually glad she brought that up. It goes back to something I talk about a lot, how we think,
00:40:14.240
we think about these different branches of the American left, American communists, what I call them,
00:40:19.620
but we think about feminists, right? We think about the feminists and the civil rights hustlers,
00:40:23.480
and the LGBTQ and the mob and the climate change people. And we think about them as if they're
00:40:29.200
different, as if they're definitely different. They're definitely separate. No, these people
00:40:32.580
just care about the planet. These people want women's rights. And they're not separate at all.
00:40:37.700
There's a reason they seem separate, yet they always end up working together and working with
00:40:43.180
one another because they're not separate. They're all one group with one goal. What they're doing is
00:40:48.980
they sell separate things to find separate malcontents. Everyone isn't a bitter feminist
00:40:54.460
with 10 cats. Some people are, but that's a way to bring you into the communist fold. So they go out
00:41:00.860
and say, hey, we'll sell you free cat litter. Just come join us. And then the cat ladies, the feminists
00:41:05.020
come on inside. Everyone isn't concerned about the planet warming or cooling who can track what they tell
00:41:11.240
you it's doing nowadays. But some people are. So you tell them, hey, we'll fix it. You bring into the
00:41:16.080
fold. It's just the old group of malcontents. That's all communism is brought into the big
00:41:20.840
tent. And they're all told, just give me power and I'll punish the people you blame for your
00:41:25.600
problems. There it is. You know, on the subject of Meghan and Harry last night, they got up there,
00:41:31.620
they got this ridiculous award. I mean, truly, like, what have they done to fight racism? I mean,
00:41:35.460
she basically gave an interview to Oprah. So, OK. But she she had an interesting remark that was just,
00:41:43.260
of course, once again, clueless. She talked about how this is the beginning. She was quoting RFK,
00:41:48.920
the original RFK Jr. was like, what the hell are they? Are the Kennedys honoring these losers for?
00:41:54.440
He goes. The only upside is it's better than their honoree last year or the year before,
00:41:58.800
which was Fauci. It's the other Kennedys. It's his sister, the another child of RFK, the OG. And she
00:42:06.640
says this is the beginning. This is the just the beginning of their work on anti-racism and talked
00:42:12.480
about sweeping down the walls of oppression, sweeping down the mightiest walls of oppression,
00:42:19.660
quoting RFK. Jesse, they're oppressed. Are they oppressed? Like, of course, she speaks of herself,
00:42:26.440
which we can tell from her trailer and her movie and so on. The fact that you've got an actual prince
00:42:32.080
and a duchess up there saying how they are the ones who are going to fight the walls of oppression.
00:42:37.620
And by that, they just mean the mean royal family that didn't give them everything they wanted in
00:42:41.220
their castle. We've really jumped the shark. Well, it's our culture now today, Megan. Isn't it so sad
00:42:48.020
to watch victim actually be the highest status one can achieve? You see this over and over and over
00:42:53.960
again. So bizarre to me. I guess it's just because I was raised differently, you know, overcome,
00:42:58.160
you know, don't whine, don't complain. You go make it happen. You go succeed. That is what you want.
00:43:02.640
Success. You go work hard for it. And in our culture now, we're so twisted up and backwards
00:43:07.920
that we have these people that are success stories, both princes and Americans all over the place,
00:43:13.720
like the success story you could possibly. It's the greatest success. LeBron James,
00:43:18.700
greatest example of this horrible childhood, no father and overcomes all that. He's a billionaire now.
00:43:24.480
One of the greatest basketball players ever. Dude, you are awesome. You are the shining light
00:43:29.460
of what you can do in America. And what's LeBron James want to be? Victim. He must be a victim.
00:43:34.640
Not racist. Everyone's racist. This is racist against me. He has all that, all this. He has
00:43:39.780
everything. And he wants to be a victim because that is what our culture values above all else.
00:43:45.520
As soon as these people get rich and famous and successful, they almost have like this weird
00:43:50.660
survivor's guilt about it, that they haven't been victims. And that's really what they need to be.
00:43:55.100
It's really gross. And it's, it's interesting raising a kid in this environment for sure.
00:43:59.280
And on top of it, then they feel the need to turn around and rip on our country,
00:44:02.900
rip on the very place that gave them all of those riches and made all of that success possible.
00:44:07.980
You know, Michelle Obama is a great example. Last week or last month, she's out there talking about
00:44:12.600
how she thought about wearing her hair and its natural state in braids. She said when she was
00:44:17.900
first lady, but she's like, nope, they're not ready. You know, this, this country of racists
00:44:22.860
that elected my husband to as president of the United States, that would be a bridge too far
00:44:28.080
for them to see my natural hair. That's what she thinks of us.
00:44:32.340
That's what she's always thought. I remember that soundbite too. They ain't ready y'all. I remember,
00:44:36.740
oh, I remember her saying it very, very well. This woman who rose from Chicago and is now,
00:44:42.680
I believe they're worth something like a hundred million dollars or something like that.
00:44:45.880
That former first lady of the United States of America has been photographed on gigantic yachts,
00:44:51.600
including Oprah's out there, travels to planet on private jets, sipping champagne and eating steak.
00:44:57.720
And she still thinks this place sucks. This place just is an evil place. And she hasn't been given
00:45:03.980
a fair shake. It is, it has become the highest achievement of our culture. And it's so poisonous,
00:45:11.140
Megan. It's so terrible for people. You see it now because like when they see that,
00:45:15.080
it really does have a huge effect on a culture. When you see that from Michelle Obama or someone
00:45:19.920
like that, it's a great example. What do kids see? What do teenagers see? Especially teenagers
00:45:24.600
without a strong parent relationship, a strong parent unit at home that's teaching them appropriate
00:45:30.500
values. What do they see? What do they want? They want to be victims too. It's their ultimate goal
00:45:35.400
in life. It's really terrible for us. Oh my God. Wait, I've just got to get this in.
00:45:39.820
Did you see, I feel like you might've tweeted about this shark week, shark week,
00:45:45.340
somebody did a study, a study on all the years of shark week and determined that it's too white,
00:45:53.260
not the sharks, not like, you know, we need less great whites. They need less whites on shark week
00:45:59.900
programming and too many guys named Mike. I'm like, this has to be a joke. Is this a troll? Did this
00:46:05.240
actually happen? Well, it goes to show there are people that are so sick out there. They can
00:46:11.560
actually watch shark week. And instead of watching like you watch or like I watch, oh, wow, that's a
00:46:16.280
big shark. I'm never going to swim again. Instead, they're counting just how many whiteys there are
00:46:20.740
out there. What a country we've become. So, so very proud. Uh, I'll tell you a funny story. My mom
00:46:28.360
had my two older kids at one point that was just a baby and they were maybe five and four or six and
00:46:34.420
four. And I said, mom, you got them like, you know, they're little, whatever. She's like, I got
00:46:38.420
them. We're going to play board games. We're going to play charades. And we picked up our kids after
00:46:42.020
two days. And they're, they're like, apparently the charades stopped the moment we left. It turned
00:46:46.380
into nonstop television, watching ice cream, cookies, cupcakes, candy. And my mom with a nonstop
00:46:51.800
shark week marathon saying, and it's all real. It's all real. Yes. That show has really jumped
00:47:00.480
the shark. If you'll pardon the horrible pun. I last time I watched was two or three years ago
00:47:04.820
and they did a whole show that I bought Hilkline and sinker. And then they tell you at the end,
00:47:08.580
yeah, we made this whole thing up about some giant shark that was eating all the others. I'm so bummed
00:47:13.500
out. I wanted that to be true, Megan. I'm just saying like my mom, that's how we Kelly's are raised.
00:47:18.220
They scare the living daylights out of you. At a very young age, get them trained early.
00:47:23.020
It's a tough world and you got to toughen up. Jesse Kelly, always a pleasure. Great to see you.
00:47:27.820
See you, mate. All right. When we come back, our pal Buck Saxton joins us. Don't miss that.
00:47:31.940
And he's going to have some thoughts on this FBI situation. You know, he was at the CIA for a while.
00:47:38.860
Well, Time Magazine has named its person of the year. Who is it? We'll get to that with our next guest,
00:47:44.660
Buck Sexton, former CIA officer and co-host of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. Great to have
00:47:51.260
you back, Buck. So it is Zelensky. It is a Volodymyr Volensky, Zelensky of Ukraine. I guess
00:47:58.660
that's not surprising. What do you make of the choice? It would have been the one that I gave
00:48:03.540
the best odds for. I think it's clear that there's a huge, well, maybe there's a bit of a cult
00:48:11.000
around Zelensky in the West specifically. Look, there's a lot about this that I think doesn't fit
00:48:17.060
into the traditional left-right paradigm in this country, even though that's the way people are
00:48:23.620
speaking about it and thinking about it all the time. I feel like anytime anyone says it's complicated
00:48:29.460
or there's nuance, they get booed by everybody these days. But there really are in terms of what
00:48:35.420
our interests are, where I think our interests coincide very much with Ukraine, where things go
00:48:42.140
too far. And it's just turned into, for a lot of people, particularly a lot of Democrats, you put up
00:48:48.560
five Ukraine flags, you triple mask, and you get to think you're a better person than everybody else.
00:48:53.400
Could they even find Donetsk on a map? No, but who cares?
00:48:57.300
Right, right. Good point. Well, at least it's not Liz Cheney, who was on the short list
00:49:01.720
right next to him. I mean, can you imagine? They actually thought it might be Liz Cheney.
00:49:07.440
I keep seeing these people who may, it's really pretty hilarious. They make this case
00:49:13.760
that they're the real conservatives, that the Republican Party should turn to them.
00:49:21.020
And if you just give it enough time, and usually, by the way, there's a break that occurs. It usually
00:49:26.360
has to do with Trump. But you give it enough time, and eventually, they're on MSNBC. And their only
00:49:35.100
job in life, or over at CNN, is to make fun of all Republicans, and talk about how Republicans are
00:49:41.680
extremists on this and that. And then they've made the full switch. I think that's where Liz Cheney is.
00:49:47.580
I mean, for all of her talk about principle, it really was just about Liz Cheney, and the Cheney name.
00:49:53.360
And you see this over and over again. So I'm glad it wasn't her. I will say that. I'm happy that Liz
00:49:59.480
Cheney wasn't the one that they decided to go with. Although, also, does Time Magazine even exist
00:50:04.420
beyond the Time person of the year at this point? I can't even remember the last time, Megan, that I
00:50:09.320
read a Time article, honestly. No. And I spent all day reading this. I agree with you. Yeah, that's what
00:50:14.800
I mean. Just never even see it. They're not in the national conversation. I will say, while we're on the
00:50:19.180
subject of Liz Cheney, interesting visual, I think it was yesterday, as they paid tribute to the Capitol
00:50:28.660
Hill police officers who dealt with the January 6th riot. And that's fine. I can't help. I'm glad that
00:50:36.340
they're paying tribute to the cops who fought the mob. I am. But to me, it's just it's so hard to cheer
00:50:42.220
this on because the people doing the honoring, the people pushing this, those Democrats, they hate
00:50:47.780
cops. Who are they kidding? They couldn't have cared less when those cops took batons in the face and got
00:50:53.020
shot dead during the Black Lives Matter protests. Only because it was a political issue do they now feel
00:50:58.380
the need to pretend that they're celebratory of law enforcement. So there's like a little bit of a
00:51:02.940
there's a, you know, it sticks in my craw because I know it's not sincere on their part.
00:51:09.500
Well, of course not. I'm, I'm a student of the Russian revolution and Marxism and the, the early
00:51:19.380
days of the Bolshevik. This is why I don't, I do have a fiance, but I don't have much of a social life.
00:51:24.380
So I read about these things for fun on a regular basis. And I just bring it up because the extremism,
00:51:32.040
the everything for the revolution, nothing outside the revolution mindset is different here in America,
00:51:39.000
but for a lot of people on the left, it's absolutely present. There is no principle. There
00:51:43.280
is no, uh, there's no matter of, of honor or integrity that is not secondary to what is best
00:51:50.280
for the Democrat party in the moment. Uh, the truth is, as we all know, the fact is that officer Sicknick
00:51:56.280
died of a stroke days after an event that was yes, a riot, but absent blunt force trauma, which is what
00:52:03.580
they told us he died of originally. Remember that it was the fire extinguisher, which was a horrific
00:52:08.740
story. And people initially reacted to it with the outrage that it deserves. That was a lie, a total
00:52:14.480
lie. Um, I've been to a lot of obviously covering them, not partaking in them, black lives matter,
00:52:20.640
protests, Antifa riots. I've seen what they do. And I can assure everyone watching that if a police
00:52:27.560
officer died of a heart attack or a stroke a week later, nobody would say that BLM had murdered that
00:52:33.320
person. Right now there was a lot of violence against cops in the summer of 2020, uh, outright
00:52:38.780
violence. I like to remind everybody, cause I think they should be reminded that it was a tactic of
00:52:43.280
Antifa, particularly in Portland, uh, to try to blind police officers with lasers. And I've said this
00:52:50.620
before, if somebody was actively trying to blind me to take away my sight, uh, I would feel justified
00:52:56.000
using extreme levels of force in opposition to that. So what happened at the Capitol, there's a
00:53:02.480
few, a few layers to it. I think one, you see that there are people who buy into the narrative that all
00:53:08.100
Republicans are guilty of the insurrection, even though 99% of Republicans that I know immediately
00:53:15.020
said, not only is this wrong, it's a blunder. Not only was this, um, something you shouldn't do the
00:53:21.180
riot, but it was stupid for the cause. Uh, but beyond that, uh, there is no principle, Megan,
00:53:26.660
because violence against police is not something that the Democrat party, uh, spends any time
00:53:32.100
thinking about or worried about unless it is January six. And we've all seen that. And I think
00:53:36.380
that family members acting as props for the Democrat agenda. It's sad. It's their right.
00:53:42.940
Let me interrupt because we haven't gotten to that. The audience may not know what we're talking about.
00:53:45.480
And that is the family of Brian Sicknick, uh, the officer you referenced who did not die during
00:53:50.740
the Capitol Hill riot, but, um, a day or two thereafter. And he had a stroke and they determined
00:53:56.240
it was natural causes, but there may have been a contributing factor with some pepper spray that,
00:54:01.200
uh, he inhaled the day of the riot. Um, his family shows up, we're showing video for the listening
00:54:06.920
audience right now. His family refused to shake the hand of Mitch McConnell. I mean, here,
00:54:12.340
Mitch McConnell's got his hand out, ready to shake their hands. I know Kevin
00:54:15.260
McCarthy, um, you know, the, the Republican leaders in the, in the Senate and the house
00:54:19.080
respectively. And they just refused to shake their hands. And it was just a, they shook Nancy
00:54:24.460
Pelosi's hand and Chuck Schumer's hand. It was just such a low moment. It was just such a low
00:54:29.860
moment for them not to shake the hands. They, these lawmakers got out there, were ready to greet
00:54:33.800
the families, pay tribute to Brian Sicknick and the other cops. And they refused to so much as
00:54:40.880
for a handshake. And then one of the family members, the brother of officer Sicknick went on, um, CBS news
00:54:48.760
and explained, Oh, okay. He was just speaking to him. But in any event, he explained why,
00:54:56.680
They came out right away and condemned what happened on January 6th. And whatever
00:55:03.720
hold that Trump has on them, they've backstepped, they've danced. They won't admit to wrongdoing,
00:55:11.680
not necessarily them themselves, but of Trump, all the rioters. And that's the way everything my
00:55:17.040
brother's done. Basically, my brother, the heroism, my brother's shown. You don't think you don't think
00:55:24.420
they deserved a handshake in this context? No, no, definitely not. No, because they,
00:55:29.500
because unlike Bush Cheney, they have no idea what integrity is. They can't stand up for what's right
00:55:35.240
and wrong. But it's no, with them, it's party first. I mean, these are not, these are not guys who
00:55:42.840
have failed to condemn January 6th. They didn't vote for Trump's impeachment. Right. But he's not
00:55:48.480
talking about, you know, sort of the hardcore Trump supporters to Mitch McConnell. Uh, what is,
00:55:53.980
so that's what you're, you're making reference to that they're being used. I mean, I'm, I'm sorry
00:55:59.060
that it is. I'm sorry that his brother died of a stroke. Um, but his political analysis is delusional.
00:56:03.900
And this is a tactic the Democrats have used for as long as, I mean, as long as I can remember,
00:56:08.800
uh, you will probably recall the so-called nine 11 widows. Now I say so-called, because I think
00:56:14.880
there were four of them. And as we all know, there were a whole lot more than that, who were
00:56:18.780
widowed by the events of nine 11, but they claim to speak for everybody who was lost on nine 11 and
00:56:24.780
campaign commercials for John Kerry. And they were trying to weaponize their message and their grief
00:56:29.260
saying essentially nine 11 happened because George Bush is a bad president. And then anytime someone
00:56:34.140
says, well, hold on a second, that's, that's one that's absurd. And two, that's entirely unfair. It
00:56:40.100
was, why aren't you listening to the widows speak? They're speaking to their grief and their truth. And
00:56:45.360
then a lot of other people who lost family members on nine 11 came out and said, well, they don't speak
00:56:49.900
for me. So this is a, this is a tactic that the Democrats love to use. By the way, I don't think
00:56:55.180
that that failure to shake the hands was something that just happened on the spot. I think that they had
00:56:59.640
planned to do that beforehand. Um, I wouldn't be surprised if they had spoken to some Democrats
00:57:04.940
either officially or unofficially who had said, you know, what would be a good idea? But I
00:57:08.640
obviously can't prove that. I'm just saying I wouldn't, that wouldn't shock me if it came out
00:57:12.460
that that were the case. Uh, but whether it's Greta Thunberg, remember use a 16 year old that
00:57:17.580
convinced the world what to do with climate change and trillions of dollars of wealth. But if you don't
00:57:23.420
go along with this lunacy, you're child bashing, you're a bad person. Uh, they do this all the
00:57:29.020
time. It's very tiresome. Um, and, and in this case, honestly, I think that it just showed that
00:57:35.280
unfortunately playing the I'll bend the knee and condemn as often as you want game just plays into
00:57:41.020
the hands of the worst elements of the Democrat party. I condemned January 6th as it was happening
00:57:45.620
in real time. Anyone who knows anybody in the conservative movement and has any, uh, of any
00:57:51.080
integrity or respect knows that it was a bad idea. It was terrible. And they condemned it where the
00:57:55.300
condemnations of BLM riots that lasted for months, including in my own neighborhood
00:57:59.260
that shattered, uh, shattered store windows, injured police officers, some seriously. I think
00:58:05.540
there were a couple of dozen people who lost their lives in those riots overall, uh, when they
00:58:09.560
tabulated it at the end of police officers, there's been no condemnation. Well, what, what is it? Is it
00:58:15.060
that the Republicans aren't as good at playing that game? You know, the Republicans don't demand
00:58:19.680
that you apologize for supporting BLM and letting them terrorize the nation in summer of 2020 and
00:58:25.820
hurting a lot of cops. They don't demand it. Is it that they don't know how to play the game or is it
00:58:29.840
that they don't control enough industries that run the national conversation to, to make that behavior
00:58:34.780
a game changer? Oh, it's definitely, it's a combination. Um, the latter part or the second
00:58:41.240
part that you bring up, I think is, is the more, more obvious one in that they just have so many more
00:58:48.320
artillery pieces to bring to the battlefield of propaganda, uh, that they can effectively flood
00:58:53.880
the zone. And so even the most obtuse, absurd or untrue messaging over time, they just have an
00:59:01.540
advantage in getting people to start to believe it and also to make people, um, obey or to make
00:59:08.040
people respond to it. Right. I mean, if you, you could have one person in conservative media ask a
00:59:12.980
democratic question once he could ignore it. Well, if, if 95% of journalists, cause they're all
00:59:18.260
Democrats or asking a Republican the same question, it's much more likely to respond to it. But then
00:59:23.500
I also believe, um, that there is, I think that there's a connection between being a Democrat and
00:59:29.400
some degree, or being, I should say, a true believer, Democrat and leftist these days, and some
00:59:34.360
degree of, of emotional instability and a belief that emotion is more important than reason. And if
00:59:40.380
you feel something very passionately and deeply, it doesn't matter whether or not it's true that the
00:59:46.200
fulfillment of your emotional needs through politics is actually much more important than
00:59:50.720
any argument, than data, than principle, than the law. And I think you see that playing out in a whole,
00:59:55.660
in a whole range of ways. So people are willing to use the, I'm a victim. How dare you criticize me
01:00:00.980
on the left, um, much more readily than you'll see on the right, just based on the psychology,
01:00:06.300
I think of the two groups at the macro level. Well, this discussion of our institutions of January 6th
01:00:11.880
and of this victimhood mentality, bring me quite neatly to Yoel Roth, the guy at Twitter,
01:00:18.480
discussed him a little bit in our first hour, former head of trust and safety, head of trust and
01:00:23.120
safety, fail, sir, fail. Um, who, uh, gave an interview talking about some of their censorship
01:00:29.580
decisions and discussed the day of January 6th for, you know, his team in the most personal of terms.
01:00:37.020
Here it is at a 10. Donald Trump. That one, I don't think was a mistake. January 6th.
01:00:44.160
So it, it starts on the 6th, but it also starts prior to that. The events of the 6th happen. And,
01:00:50.700
um, if you talk to content moderators who worked on January 6th, myself included the word that nearly
01:00:57.160
everybody uses is trauma. We, we experienced those events, not some of us as Americans, but not just as
01:01:04.420
Americans or as citizens, but as people working on sort of how to prevent harm on the internet.
01:01:10.680
It's unbelievable. I'm sure it was traumatic for the cops, not for you. You're sitting out in
01:01:17.160
California in an office that's probably decorated in flowers and you're eating your kale and having
01:01:22.780
your little latte and you were not traumatized by anything. We were just talking about emotional
01:01:29.400
instability of the lives like 60 seconds ago. And here you have somebody that this is exactly what
01:01:35.660
I'm talking about. I didn't even know you were going to play that clip. Somebody who thinks that
01:01:38.760
I'm really emotionally upset by something. Therefore, I'm going to abandon the promise to the users of
01:01:45.840
Twitter that we've made that this is a free speech based platform. Um, I'm going to, uh, abandon the
01:01:51.940
notion that I shouldn't put my hand on the scale for one side or the other in a politically and to
01:01:58.600
get rid of a sitting president from your platform. And look, that was in a sense, I'm, I'm happy that
01:02:04.640
they did it. Um, it was important. It was wake up time for conservatives all across the country.
01:02:12.080
It was the, the crossing of the Rubicon moment. They picked a sitting president off of not even just
01:02:19.400
Twitter, but Facebook, I think Pinterest. So whatever the latest, uh, arrangements of petunias
01:02:26.620
that Donald Trump wanted to share no longer, no longer able to can't, can't show how he
01:02:31.900
arranges his tea cozies in the white house or whatever on Pinterest. I mean, it was truly
01:02:36.140
bonkers stuff. And they also, uh, they also went after parlor on, on completely false pretenses.
01:02:43.560
Remember that they kicked parlor off of, uh, Amazon web services, uh, the servers effectively
01:02:49.820
de-internetted, uh, a company that was trying to just be a free speech based platform.
01:02:54.620
So this is what happens. I mean, yep. Keep going. I was just saying Facebook.
01:03:01.500
No, I was just going to say this is what happens when you, you mentioned platform dominance.
01:03:05.340
And when we got to the point where they felt invincible, so they became really aggressive
01:03:10.960
and at some level sloppy with the way that they were engaged in this kind of propaganda,
01:03:15.780
because what Twitter had been doing, Twitter had been doing this for a long time. It's just that
01:03:20.120
they used to lie about it and say, Oh, we don't actually shadow ban people, or we were not taking
01:03:25.660
action based upon political speech. Oh, they've been doing that for years. But a lot of it was
01:03:31.200
that I think they didn't want to get the heat. And there's also a value to the pretense that Twitter
01:03:36.820
is a free speech platform. So you would have, for example, people pushing certain ideas, you know,
01:03:42.580
let's say if you're a, a Democrat, CNN, cable news host, or MSNBC, or, you know, you name it,
01:03:49.640
uh, you're able to push these ideas. And there's this belief that you're following and your reach
01:03:55.400
and all these things are organic. It's just a lie, right? I mean, this is like somebody who's entering
01:04:00.140
the sprinting contest or the deadlifting contest who's taking steroids. Like it's, it's a fraud.
01:04:05.200
And so that was a component of the social media platforms for years, but then they just realized
01:04:10.180
why even go through the pretense? What are they, what are they going to do about it? And in the
01:04:14.220
2020 election, they reached the, what are you going to do about it? Deal with it. We own the internet.
01:04:19.560
That was the attitude. Yeah, that's exactly right. And, and, and I'm thinking about that guy
01:04:25.020
and his behavior in the context of our country right now, because I'll tell you about, you know,
01:04:30.740
I'm raising three young kids and two boys and a girl. And my daughter is definitely the most
01:04:37.200
empathetic of my three kids. All three of them have empathy for people who are hurting,
01:04:42.340
but my daughter probably not by accident. She's a girl, um, takes on other people's,
01:04:48.640
you know, hurt feelings or pain in a more profound way than my sons do. And I've talked to her about it
01:04:55.920
because being, you know, empathetic towards somebody is good, but taking on somebody else's
01:05:02.220
quote, trauma as your own is not good. That's not healthy. And I, I always say to her, you know,
01:05:09.680
honey, that is not your upset. Don't take on somebody else's upset. You can feel, um, sadness
01:05:17.060
for them that they're going through something. You can recognize injustice or a bad situation when you
01:05:21.200
see it, you know, somebody finds out you find out your friend's relative has cancer. You can feel
01:05:25.920
bad for them, but you can, there's a difference between then owning that, like saying it's my pain,
01:05:31.360
it's mine. And I will respond to it. Like it's my pain. That's this guy needed that lecture. This
01:05:36.320
Yoel Roth and his little workers at the trust and safety department needed to be taught that difference
01:05:41.280
because what we now have is perpetual victimhood. And we know that, but this is a little window into how
01:05:47.400
it happens. You see any upset in the world and you claim it as your own. You want the victimhood
01:05:53.620
status that comes with a wrong that's being done to somebody 2000 miles away.
01:06:00.720
Yes. Well, well, victimhood is a tool of narcissism and self-congratulation in our society. Now, I mean,
01:06:08.560
you're talking about normal childhood development, for example, for your daughter of wanting to help
01:06:12.720
people. What can I do? And, you know, that's just the maturation process that we all go through.
01:06:17.640
Right. I mean, you can't sit around if you see a homeless person. I mean, that's sad. But if you
01:06:23.380
spend the next three days crying because you couldn't do anything for the homeless person,
01:06:26.660
you're actually not helping yourself or that person or society. You know, you have to put these
01:06:31.200
things into a proper context. And I think that happens, obviously, as we all get older. I think that
01:06:37.220
what you see in this context of the victimization, the weaponization of victimhood is that people use
01:06:47.580
this as a means of getting clicks and likes and attention for themselves. But also, we were just
01:06:53.480
talking about this before, as a club with which they can bludgeon their ideological opponents,
01:06:57.960
a way to shame people into obedience. Victimhood is a form of power here. It is the taking of
01:07:04.320
the virtue of the other side and using it as a weapon against them. You know, there is a quote
01:07:12.840
from Frank Herbert, who wrote Dune, which I actually think is probably the greatest sci-fi novel of all
01:07:18.560
time. Actually made a pretty good movie of it recently, too. But it's from Children of Doom,
01:07:22.520
which I believe is the sequel, which I have not read. But the quote is, when I am weak, I demand
01:07:28.600
freedom because it is according to your values. When I am strong, I demand obedience because it is
01:07:33.060
according to my values. Essentially, using the goodness of the other side against it. And then
01:07:39.180
when the other side has no choice, make them do what you want them to do. I think that is the mantra
01:07:44.920
of the Democrat left writ large in America today. What do you make of James Baker and this revelation
01:07:52.620
by Barry and Matt Taibbi, Barry Weiss and Matt Taibbi, that he was the guy at Twitter as the deputy
01:08:01.300
general counsel up until Tuesday, yesterday, screening the documents that he was going to
01:08:07.500
turn over to Barry and Matt as part of Elon's effort to clean house, to be transparent about
01:08:16.380
what went down at Twitter. The same guy who was responsible for the suppression and who did all
01:08:21.020
sorts of nefarious shit at the FBI was the guy who was deciding what documents would in fact be
01:08:25.920
turned over to the journalists who were brought in to, you know, let what is that? The sunshine be
01:08:31.220
the best disinfectant. Well, he wasn't too keen on their sunshine from the look of it and got the
01:08:35.660
boot. But this guy is like the where's Waldo of suppression and censorship and nefarious behavior
01:08:43.960
when it comes to Donald Trump. Oh, it's hard to make this stuff up, right? I mean, first of all,
01:08:50.820
when you look at what Twitter was doing with things like the trust and safety committee,
01:08:56.600
it is as though they read Orwell's 1984, not as a warning, but as a how to book. Like maybe we
01:09:03.460
should just name it the, you know, the trust and safety committee, you know, that'll, that'll fool
01:09:08.380
everybody. The whole thing was, was absolutely absurd. And I always remind people that Google's
01:09:14.740
first slogan was don't be evil. It's like, aren't you a search engine and email company? Well,
01:09:20.020
actually they're a lot more powerful and a lot more than that, as we know, but there is, you
01:09:24.640
know, sometimes they don't protest too much. Sometimes you do come up against a little bit
01:09:29.180
more truth than they, they hope to share. And, and in the context of, and I'm like a mood to talk
01:09:36.180
about Soviet stuff today, but they refer to the entire system of oppression in the Soviet Union as
01:09:42.280
the apparatus. And I refer to the apparatus today in America as this is where you see the connection
01:09:48.940
between the deep state in the federal government, the unelected fourth branch of government, the
01:09:54.200
bureaucracy that is immensely powerful. And I used to work in it. So I have some familiarity with it
01:10:00.080
as a former CIA analyst. Then you connect that to media institutions. You connect that to corporate
01:10:08.580
America that has gone incredibly woke to academia. And you have these, these systems of, of control.
01:10:15.700
It's funny. The left thinks in terms of systems of control and levers of power and people on the
01:10:20.900
right are always thinking, can't we just all live in Liberty and be left alone and, you know,
01:10:25.440
go farm our fields and stop bothering me. And unfortunately that's why they seize power very
01:10:31.120
effectively in all these institutions that, that I just mentioned. And Twitter is another example of
01:10:35.800
this. I mean, to glide so seamlessly from being deep state, you know, actor number five and the whole
01:10:43.480
Russia collusion phenomenon to then being the chief lawyer of Twitter, it's like, you couldn't make
01:10:49.520
this stuff up. If this were a Hollywood screenplay, you'd say, that's just a little bit too cute.
01:10:53.900
And the fact that he was in any way involved in trying to vet what was coming out from Twitter at
01:10:58.720
the time, I mean, keep in mind, there is a real axis, a real connectivity between the social media
01:11:06.800
companies and the intelligence community, which again, I used to work for and still have many
01:11:10.240
friends on the inside. And they are horrified by the way, about both the wokeness and the politicization
01:11:15.800
of that community. It's, I think it's probably beyond repair at this point. You have the same kinds of
01:11:21.880
people that would have been going to work, you know, for left-wing NGOs and building wind farms 20
01:11:28.060
years ago. They're all working at the CIA and the FBI now. So people need to understand that.
01:11:33.300
And, and I think that once you see the connectivity and the way that these institutions are all working
01:11:40.640
together to push the same agenda, the same messaging, you, you recognize the work that the
01:11:45.860
right has to do here just to achieve balance. And people often talk to me about how do we win? I'm
01:11:49.720
like, how do we just get things where it's a more level playing field? Um, but what Elon Musk is
01:11:55.020
doing, I mean, he is, he has done more for free speech freedom and, and just reason and rationality
01:12:02.720
than anybody I can think of in the last decade. Honestly, I mean, it's, it's remarkable what he's
01:12:07.700
showing everybody. Um, I definitely want to ask you about the shadow banning cause this is, this is the
01:12:11.920
next shoe to drop you think over at Twitter. But before we get to that, let's spend some time on the CIA
01:12:16.580
because you've referenced your time in it and what's happening now, the collusion, the connectivity
01:12:21.460
between them and the social media. Um, okay. So now we've seen some of the Twitter files and we know
01:12:29.140
that the Twitter executives worked actively to suppress the Hunter Biden reporting by the New York
01:12:33.780
Post. Um, they did that at least in part because the FBI apparently came to them and said, beware of a
01:12:39.780
Russian disinformation op, uh, operation that's about to drop and, and may or may not have specifically
01:12:45.040
mentioned Hunter Biden. The FBI knew that that was, um, coming because they'd been given the Hunter
01:12:50.780
Biden laptop in 2019 by the computer repair guy. So, I mean, it really does smack of, they understood
01:12:57.680
this is coming. They understood it was real and then went and lied to the social media companies saying
01:13:02.560
it was disinformation, but maybe they didn't think it was real. Maybe they thought it was
01:13:06.260
disinformation. How, why would they think that even CBS news, even the New York times, even the
01:13:11.320
Washington Post were able to confirm that it was real. Um, namely because Hunter Biden didn't have
01:13:16.300
a complete freak out saying it's not real. Right. Anyway. Um, so let even the benefit of the doubt,
01:13:21.560
but, but, but, but here's where I'm going with it. 51 intelligence officials came out with a letter
01:13:26.780
after Twitter banned the report. Twitter made, you know, Twitter banned. And then we had the 51
01:13:32.740
intelligence, former intelligence officials come out and just went back and looked at it knowing you
01:13:38.180
were coming on. 43 of the 51 signatories were former CIA, 43 of the 51, five former CIA directors
01:13:46.780
signed the letter, Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, John Brennan, and Michael Morrell. Um, and then
01:13:53.580
briefly acting John McLaughlin, uh, as well as a former director of national intelligence, James Clapper,
01:13:59.600
eight CIA intelligence officers, seven analysts, four chiefs of staff and assorted others.
01:14:04.120
And the, I worked for all of those directors, but one, by the way. So I knew them all work for them.
01:14:09.300
Yes. So the, the New York post in March of this year went back and this is, you know, this is right
01:14:15.880
around the time when the New York times and others were declaring it real and said, would you care to
01:14:22.120
update your opinion that you dropped 15 days before an election that this was Russian disinformation?
01:14:27.140
It was really stunning. James Clapper, Mr. Not Wittingly. Um, he said, yes, I stand by the
01:14:34.380
statement made at the time. At the time it was appropriate. Uh, you got another guy, Russ Travers,
01:14:39.740
former national counterterrorism center acting director. Um, the cautionary warning at the time
01:14:43.960
was prudent. Andy Lipman, former national counterterrorism center deputy director. I do stand by
01:14:50.500
the statement, but I'm kind of busy right now. He told the post, David Price, a former CIA analyst and
01:14:56.860
manager. I have no further comment at this time. Don Hepburn, former national security
01:15:00.440
executive. Uh, my position has not changed any. I can't tell you what part is real and
01:15:06.660
what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me that it was immediate influence hit
01:15:12.240
job. Hello, Don. Hello, Don. You're wrong. You were wrong. Then you remain wrong. And it
01:15:17.460
goes on from the, it's incredible buck. No one, not least of which Leon and, you know, um,
01:15:23.620
John Brennan, all those guys, they, they haven't taken one step off of what they said. Nevermind,
01:15:29.320
apologize for misleading us. Right. Well, Megan, they accomplished the mission.
01:15:35.920
They get a high five. They get five, they get five stars. They, they did exactly what they were
01:15:42.040
supposed to do. All of those people knew at some level or knew entirely all those former intelligence
01:15:49.620
officials knew that they were lying. They are not that stupid. I worked with these people,
01:15:55.000
literally worked with a number of them. Um, they're not stupid, but they were playing politics
01:16:00.400
and they knew that it was necessary to completely sacrifice their credibility and their integrity
01:16:07.540
to try to help a doddering buffoon like Joe Biden across the finish line, full stop. This
01:16:14.500
is also why you'll know nobody has had any action taken against them. There hasn't been any firing
01:16:21.400
of somebody who was a contributor at NBC or CNN. There hasn't been any pushback again from the
01:16:27.840
apparatus for these people making laughable fools of themselves. It was, it was never credible that
01:16:34.460
this was, this was fake or Russian disinformation because if it were Russian disinformation, uh, if it
01:16:40.300
were, for example, what we saw in 2016, which was a minute, you know, a tiny little speck in the
01:16:48.400
Facebook spectrum of some Russian posts about Hillary Clinton or something, you know, they can tell
01:16:53.980
the people can look at them and you could realize there are misspellings and there are things like
01:16:57.520
this. It would be so easy, um, to see. And the moment you see one thing that's fake on the laptop,
01:17:03.120
well, then you can disregard the whole thing that you could have shown this was fake in five minutes
01:17:07.080
if you were a serious person, but they weren't serious people. They were only doing what they
01:17:11.040
were supposed to do for the Democrat party. They were acting as operatives, just like they would
01:17:15.920
have been intelligence operatives before they were acting as operatives for the DNC. And so this was to
01:17:21.520
their benefit, but you would think right, Megan, that on an issue to be that wrong, right? It's like,
01:17:26.240
if you were managing somebody's money and you're like, I'm betting it all on a housing crash
01:17:30.040
and it didn't come. In fact, houses tripled in price. People wouldn't trust you anymore,
01:17:33.440
right? All of those people advance their careers. Um, that story is not over. We're going to get
01:17:41.220
more reporting from Barry and Matt and we're going to learn more. Uh, they haven't yet revealed the
01:17:46.340
FBI warning. We know that from Twitter executives, testimonials who are saying we were warned by the
01:17:51.980
FBI, but that hasn't yet come out directly from Elon. We'll see. Uh, the Twitter filing reporting has
01:17:57.240
just begun. Let's talk about shadow banning because that's another thing. So many conservatives,
01:18:01.760
and to be honest, I also feel that I was on this list. Um, it, I have no idea. I have nothing to
01:18:07.740
base this on with respect to myself other than the following for like two years. Um, I didn't get it
01:18:16.060
like a single follower, not an additional thought, not like one. All right. Now that's just not,
01:18:20.640
that's not normal. I've got like 2.6 million followers. You're telling me that just suddenly
01:18:25.000
it all stopped. Like it doesn't make sense. I was tweeting, whatever. Um, and then as soon as Elon
01:18:29.720
takes over, like I went up hundreds of thousands, it just doesn't make sense, but I don't know what
01:18:35.920
happened, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn. Someone had a thumb on the suppression
01:18:41.520
of my account, whatever. And I'm not even a conservative, right? Like there are people who
01:18:47.100
are actual conservatives and really outspoken on Twitter who have horror stories about this way
01:18:51.740
worse than the one I just told you, but I'm just offering mine just as backup to people who I know
01:18:55.580
don't have a voice. Well, I can tell you, um, that I have a few people that I know, uh, in the
01:19:03.580
social media realm who I work with and work with some other people that you and I, Megan, both know
01:19:08.300
in common and I've had them crunch numbers on my account. And I would guarantee this would be true
01:19:14.220
of yours as well. It is mathematically impossible for some of the things to occur that have happened,
01:19:20.580
particularly in the last two years on people's Twitter accounts without there being active
01:19:25.260
measures taken against individuals, ideas, certain accounts, full stop, mathematically impossible,
01:19:30.400
right? I mean, this is, you're getting into, uh, you know, when they say it's, it's the,
01:19:35.860
it's this guy who did the crime. There's a one in, you know, 15 billion chance that somebody else
01:19:41.120
shares the same DNA. You're getting into like that level of mathematical certainty here. Um, and,
01:19:47.100
and it makes perfect sense because if they're willing to do these big things, which they,
01:19:52.320
which we know they were now, this is a matter of fact. Um, and I also, I just always like to remind
01:19:57.320
everybody, they never, if you're wondering how could they be so sloppy and so brazen and these
01:20:02.640
things in these emails that are coming out now, it would seem so stupid to even put some of it into
01:20:07.180
writing. They never thought this would come out. Whoever thought that Elon Musk was going to buy
01:20:12.500
Twitter, take it private for $44 billion. Right. I mean that, if you had said that even 18 months
01:20:19.200
ago, people would have said you're crazy. Like, that's just insane. That's a $44 billion to buy a
01:20:23.680
website that doesn't even make money. Um, and, and so now when we look at what they did, I don't
01:20:30.380
think people should be, should be put off by the fact that, uh, that they are, they were as sloppy
01:20:34.580
as brazen and partisan as we thought they were all along. Uh, we're just getting the proof now.
01:20:39.340
And if they're willing to do the big things, kick Trump off of Twitter, for example, trust
01:20:46.340
me, right? Everyone think this one through, you don't think that their trust and safety
01:20:50.520
team would be willing to adjust the algorithm so that certain people, certain topics, certain
01:20:57.260
trends were either elevated or de elevated or suppressed. Uh, of course they were doing
01:21:03.360
that. And in some ways, I, as I've said, I've alluded to this, I wrote about this on, on
01:21:07.980
foxnews.com a couple of days ago. It's almost more pernicious because you banned Donald Trump
01:21:13.620
and everybody knows, and people aren't going to ask questions. Now I think the Twitter
01:21:17.700
attitude was, you know, screw you. It's our platform. We can do what we want, right? Okay.
01:21:21.880
But at least we know with shadow banning Megan, you could come out with some idea, right? I mean,
01:21:27.220
you have the, you have the size of following where if you said something that is just true,
01:21:32.580
that really resonates with people and could start, um, a much larger conversation online,
01:21:38.240
they can shut that down and it's, in its origins and its infancy. And so think about the way that
01:21:44.940
they can shift and shape conversation, but you don't know that. And your followers don't know
01:21:48.980
that. And it's not hard to do it. And the issue, if somebody wants a little more specificity,
01:21:54.440
masking is moronic. Um, it never made sense. It was never going to stop anything. It was obvious,
01:22:01.260
you know, Dr. Fauci said to people privately in the beginning of the pandemic, when everybody was
01:22:06.900
at their maximum fear level, yeah, like masks aren't going to do anything. He wouldn't say that
01:22:11.500
about antibiotics if you had strep throat, right? I mean, there are certain things that a doctor
01:22:14.820
wouldn't say so definitively unless they really believed it. Um, you don't just turn around and
01:22:21.440
all of a sudden change on that the way that you did. But I think that the mass contagion, uh, was only
01:22:27.580
really possible because they shut down all discussion to the contrary and suppress people
01:22:34.320
like me who are making the case for every study that has ever actually looked at this has shown that
01:22:39.500
it is completely ineffective and a total joke, which is still true to this day, by the way. But now we
01:22:43.500
just have two years of real world data looking around everyone, you know, wearing masks got sick
01:22:46.720
anyway, who cares? Um, so there were massive implications of this, but see, that's a, that's
01:22:51.780
more of a shadow banning, uh, issue I would say, um, than anything else. Even if their terms of
01:22:57.100
service say, Oh, we'll go after you. Uh, when they suspend you, you know, when they shadow ban you,
01:23:02.580
you just suffer in silence. And I think that's the big tool that we'll see. I think this is
01:23:07.140
fascinating. I mean, it is more permit pernicious because you can say, Oh, well, the FBI told them
01:23:12.440
that there could be a disinformation campaign coming potentially about Hunter Biden. So, you know,
01:23:17.080
they're weak, they're traumatized. They live in fear. Okay. That's what they did. They resorted
01:23:22.480
to their weakest instincts. Oh, they banned Donald Trump because he kept putting out, you know,
01:23:27.220
dangerous messaging around Jan 6th or COVID misinformation in Alex Berenson's case. I'm
01:23:32.240
not justifying any of this. I'm just saying you can at least see, okay, this is their defense.
01:23:36.400
This is their, this is why they didn't have a reason. I might not agree with the reason, but they,
01:23:39.860
they, but the silencing of, and it's going to be a big number of accounts, the, the subtle
01:23:47.100
suppression of them, um, of their messaging. And it would be, it's, it's guaranteed. It's going to
01:23:54.000
be heterodox messages, not Republicans who said like lower taxes. It's going to be people who spoke out
01:23:59.920
about BLM COVID push back on some of the, you know, official state messaging that we've been getting
01:24:06.460
shoved down our throats over the past two or three years. Um, that is more disturbing because that's
01:24:12.300
just all messaging that disagrees with my worldview must be silenced, diminished, changed, suppressed.
01:24:20.320
Like that's evil. That's really evil because as you point out, you just have a feeling about it,
01:24:25.080
but you don't know it. So how do you complain about it? And then you sound like a nutcase.
01:24:28.400
If you say, you know, and I understand people are like, you're just a loser. No, people just don't
01:24:32.520
want to follow you. People just didn't like your message. And that's the response. Right. And you're
01:24:36.000
like, Oh, well that's possible too. Right. I mean, imagine if I, if I had started a podcast,
01:24:40.200
that was just why masking doesn't work one Oh one and no one ever, you know, and I get five
01:24:45.240
listens a day and I go, well, hold on. I've got, you know, I'm on a radio show with millions of
01:24:50.740
listeners every day. I mean, I, I think I can get more than five people a day to listen, but maybe
01:24:54.440
after a while, it's like, well, I guess nobody wants to hear this podcast. Nobody cares. So it's a
01:24:59.840
really underhanded tool of, of propaganda and censorship and suppression that they were using.
01:25:06.800
And, and it was clearly going on. And I think you also see this, uh, on the trans issue, uh,
01:25:14.640
trans agenda issue in particular, um, because a lot of people are now turning around who don't even pay
01:25:20.420
very close attention to politics. And they're asking me, I mean, this is people that I just
01:25:24.340
know social. They'll say, how do we get to a point where now there are people that work for
01:25:29.760
these mainstream news outlets who are saying, you know, an eight year old putting a dollar bill
01:25:35.280
in the thong of a gyrating man dressed as a woman claiming to be a woman, or maybe doesn't claim to
01:25:40.980
be a woman, just dresses as a woman, whatever is in any way normal or permissible. Well, the way you
01:25:46.900
can get to that is by shutting down any criticism of these things, including dead naming, misgendering,
01:25:53.640
or just opposition to the trans agenda as a general rule as hate speech, uh, which is a huge part of
01:26:00.880
what the social media companies have done in recent years, because those activists, I mean, the,
01:26:05.700
the pro trans activists, uh, out there are as organized maniacal and vicious as anybody you will
01:26:13.860
find on any issue. Um, and they will come after you with, with a total vengeance. They are completely
01:26:19.520
insane. Um, they will say things like men can get pregnant and they think they're not laughable.
01:26:24.580
These are biological men lecturing women like me about what it is to be a woman. Take a seat.
01:26:29.040
Absolutely. And Megan, if you have a problem with that, you're the problem. How do we get to that
01:26:34.560
level of crazy in society without massive cheating on the battlefield of ideas, which is really what the
01:26:42.260
social media companies have been doing last couple of years brazenly, but they've been doing it on and
01:26:48.800
off for the last five or six years. Pretty aggressive. It also explains the divergence
01:26:52.120
between your online experience and your real life experience. You know, you step away from Twitter and
01:26:56.000
you're like, Oh wait, everyone's saying in my real life, no one feels this way that we're all these
01:27:00.400
lunatic leftists running around my town. Wait, the, all the Democrats I know are actually quite normal
01:27:04.840
and don't believe in any of this crap. It's these activist wokesters who control these platforms and
01:27:10.120
are active on these platforms and their allies who are suppressing the rest of us who are dominating
01:27:15.500
the national conversation. And I'll, I'll say one thing about your Fox news op-ed, which is well worth
01:27:19.080
the read. You also make the point that, um, I'll read it from you. Uh, depending on how deep this goes
01:27:24.160
at Twitter, there could even be downstream ramifications for how Facebook, Google, and other tech giants
01:27:28.700
engage in covert partisan warfare going forward. That is a good, that is a green shoot, uh,
01:27:34.620
because if what's happening with Elon at, you know, the Elon Musk controlled social media site
01:27:39.180
could change the way things are done at the other websites because he's gone first,
01:27:42.860
he's exposing them and they all know they did it too. That would be a huge blessing. All right,
01:27:48.100
let me pause, do a quick break, come back on the opposite side. Much more to discuss. Buck Sexton
01:27:52.400
stays with us. So Buck, our respectable media is at it again, reporting fully and fairly on past
01:28:01.740
controversies like the Waukesha parade massacre that we saw this time last year in the wake of
01:28:09.380
Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted. That was a case in which a deranged black man mowed down a bunch of
01:28:17.020
white Wisconsin parade goers tending to be grandmas. The dancing grannies come to mind,
01:28:23.340
um, after some vicious race rants online and some negative events in his life. And, um, NBC would like
01:28:31.420
you to know that Waukesha has come back to bring the parade back to us. And here's how they reported
01:28:37.180
on this original incident. In Waukesha, Wisconsin, the town just finished marching in its annual
01:28:43.160
Christmas parade. Of course, it was one year ago that a man drove a car into that crowd, killing
01:28:48.400
six. Tonight, residents returned celebrating the lives lost and the town's determination
01:28:53.260
to keep the tradition going. Maura Barrett is there. Tonight, Waukesha's Christmas parade is back,
01:29:00.880
bigger and stronger than ever. The community turning up in force one year after tragedy struck
01:29:07.660
when a man drove an SUV through the parade, killing six people and injuring dozens more.
01:29:12.900
You see, he just drove the car, Buck. It was just like maybe it maybe there was a flat tire that caused
01:29:18.840
him to go off the main road. It was just like an accident. Potentially, uh, you could draw that
01:29:23.340
conclusion from this reporting. Oh, and by the way, the race of the man who did it and those he killed
01:29:27.800
absolutely irrelevant, which is, you know, not exactly how NBC does it. When those races are
01:29:32.660
reversed in any other case, these are their rules, but they don't play by them when the narrative isn't
01:29:39.360
supported. You had a black man engage in an act of domestic terrorism that was only possibly motivated,
01:29:50.560
uh, based on his own online pronouncements by a hatred of white people. There's, there's never
01:29:56.600
been another motivation offered up. And we were told, and this is the game the media plays and it
01:30:02.440
makes me, uh, really angry. Um, and I actually used to go on and fight with people, believe it or not,
01:30:08.100
at CNN as a terrorism analyst. Cause I've worked in the CIA's counterterrorism center. Cause they
01:30:13.640
would do this thing of, well, we don't know the motive yet. We don't know that. And it would last
01:30:17.000
three days, five days, 10 days, because if it didn't fit a political narrative that they wanted
01:30:22.480
to tell that audience, they would essentially play the delay game until no one even remembers that
01:30:27.080
there was an incident. That's exactly what they did in Waukesha in that NBC report. It's what, since,
01:30:31.960
since you and I have put out the facts, uh, the, the relevant facts of this case, a mass murder at a
01:30:37.300
Christmas parade, including of an eight year old boy, uh, the following words, nowhere in that
01:30:43.500
hole, it was like a two minute long segment. Uh, I watched it a few times through to make sure I
01:30:47.400
wasn't missing anything. The words, um, murder, terrorism, hate, uh, white black, none of that
01:30:54.980
appears one time. You will not hear any of those words. You will not hear murder. You will not hear
01:31:00.280
terrorism. You will not hear hate. You will not hear hate crime. You will not hear white or black
01:31:03.940
mentioned in the entire piece. That's journalism for you today, folks. There you go.
01:31:09.620
Unbelievable. And of course it only applied be one thing if they never mentioned race,
01:31:12.720
you know, but that's not how their game is played. It's, it's, it's either, it's either we
01:31:17.620
give fulsome descriptions of the suspect and possible motives or we don't, but we don't do this.
01:31:22.640
Mm-hmm. Um, on the subject of crime, I saw you remarking on this and this was heartbreaking to me too.
01:31:29.280
This home Depot worker, 83 year old, years old, now dead. Gary razor, uh, from Hillsborough,
01:31:36.780
North Carolina was pushed to the ground by a thief at a home Depot. We have the video,
01:31:41.660
I believe. Um, we can take a look at it. Yeah. It's just video here. He's trying to stop this
01:31:47.340
thief. Oh God. And this thief shoves this 83 year old man to the ground. It's six weeks ago. This
01:31:55.000
happened and he has now died. His, his death has been ruled a homicide, which is the correct
01:32:00.360
conclusion. Um, he had worked at this home Depot for nine years and had been in and out of the
01:32:07.020
hospital. After this happened, he was trying to stop, put an arm out to try to stop this man from
01:32:11.140
rolling away a cart full of shop listed shop lifted pressure washers. The man, the thief was clad in a
01:32:18.380
Calvin Klein hoodie and a face mask. And as still, as I understand it, not apprehended more and more
01:32:25.160
what they're doing is not, they're not even challenging the thieves anymore. So kudos to
01:32:29.500
this old man for literally risking his life. And the downside of that risk was realized, but in store
01:32:34.540
after store, a buck that they're just letting the thieves take the stuff. Now, the Democrats have
01:32:39.980
decided that the theft is a social justice issue. This is just where we are folks. Everyone needs to
01:32:46.080
understand it, uh, that confronting and punishing shoplifters is anti-social justice, anti-woke. Um,
01:32:55.520
and, and you can think of all the implications that they bring to that. Uh, I think the correct
01:33:00.500
position on this, and I think it is the conservative position on this, um, rightly applied is that we are
01:33:07.080
all subject to the same laws, irrespective of race, creed, color, socioeconomic status. We all believe
01:33:14.140
that we are held to the same standard. Um, Democrats, I mean, you remember AOC famously
01:33:19.300
said of people that were going in and stealing, this guy had was stealing almost a thousand dollars
01:33:23.380
worth of stuff, pressure washers. He was going to go and sell them on Amazon or eBay or something

right away. Stealing a loaf of bread. Right. But, but AOC says, well, it's people stealing to feed
01:33:33.720
themselves. That's a lie. When people break into Louis Vuitton stores and steal a hundred,
01:33:38.740
three hundred, five hundred thousand dollars of stuff, they are organized thieves. And if they're
01:33:44.900
not punished, it just continues. And our cities have been turned into free for alls with theft and
01:33:51.640
stealing, um, because people don't want to enforce the law because they don't like the implications
01:33:55.940
that that may bring to their social justice concepts. And the fact that this 83 year old man
01:34:01.440
was the only one with the backbone, the only one with the courage to stand up and then look at what
01:34:06.260
happens to him. It's a really bleak indicator of where society is going right now. I wish we were
01:34:10.700
ending on a, on a happier note, Megan, but I know it's so sad. His wife said she and her husband had
01:34:15.860
plans to retire travel and meet their new grandchild for the first time before his death. I, I have to
01:34:22.640
raise it because this is the reminder. We do need to call the police. Stealing is a crime. You have to
01:34:28.300
call nine one one. Perhaps it's good advice not to interfere yourself, um, because you might get hurt.
01:34:34.500
You might get killed, but we need police. We need them to be fully funded. We need clerks who are
01:34:39.620
willing to call the cops and understand it's not racist just because the perpetrator might be black.
01:34:44.940
Um, you might be saving the lives of black people within your store, but it doesn't matter. Crime is
01:34:50.660
crime. It's dangerous and left unchecked. It will spread and grow. Buck Sexton, always a pleasure.
