00:03:23.300outlining what it describes as the Biden administration's weaponization of the freedom
00:03:28.460of access to clinic entrances or FACE Act against pro-life activists. The FACE Act passed in 1994
00:03:36.620designed to protect access to abortion clinics, pregnancy resource centers, and houses of worship,
00:03:42.960applying to both pro-choice and pro-life facilities.
00:03:47.040May sound familiar, since recently the DOJ charged Don Lamon and other protesters under the FACE Act
00:03:52.980after they stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:03:57.280Before its provision against disrupting a church service was in the news,
00:04:01.980it was chiefly known for its abortion clinic protections, a favorite of Democratic
00:04:07.480administrations wanting to target pro-life protesters, none more so than Joe Biden's.
00:04:13.160The new DOJ report concluding, quote, during the four years under President Biden,
00:04:18.320DOJ charged more than 45 pro-life defendants in over 20 cases with violating the FACE Act
00:04:24.760in connection with pro-life demonstrations, a significant increase in FACE Act prosecutions
00:04:30.320compared to prior administrations. The Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group,
00:04:35.680established by the former Attorney General Pam Bondi, compiling the report to examine whether
00:04:40.400law enforcement actions under the Biden administration were influenced by political
00:04:44.940bias. The group, reviewing more than 700,000 internal records, releasing a nearly 900-page
00:04:51.340document detailing several key findings, including that officials worked with pro-abortion groups to
00:04:57.080monitor pro-life activists' First Amendment activity, prosecutors engaged in inappropriate
00:05:02.660conduct, and the department pursued harsher charges and sentences against pro-life defendants
00:05:08.380compared to pro-abortion ones. According to the report, prosecutors seeking an average sentence
00:05:14.000of 26.8 months for defendants arrested for pro-life conduct compared to 12.3 months for
00:05:21.440defendants arrested for pro-choice behavior. The Biden DOJ relying on organizations including
00:05:27.220the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood, and Feminist Majority Foundation0.66
00:05:32.420to, quote, identify potential pro-life targets for investigation and build cases against them.
00:05:39.240According to the report, those groups not only flagged potential FACE Act violations,
00:05:43.900but also tracked the movements and activities of pro-life activists, sharing updates with the DOJ
00:05:49.420and FBI, with many of those individuals later facing charges. Acting Attorney General Todd
00:05:55.280Blanche elaborating on the findings yesterday on Fox News. We saw internal emails, internal
00:06:01.620correspondence, which is now part of the report, where Department of Justice prosecutors are
00:06:06.500working hand in hand with NGOs and nonprofits to target and go after pro-life individuals who
00:06:14.640we're not breaking the law. Okay. And I'll tell you what, there's no emails, there's no emails
00:06:19.800in my inbox from NGOs telling me what to do. And it's disappointing. And look, I hope the American
00:06:25.620people can see the work that we did over the past year, trying to understand what happened.
00:06:31.560But once they see it, I think folks will be frustrated. President Trump, shortly after
00:06:37.300taking office in January 2025, issuing pardons to a number of pro-life activists prosecuted
00:06:43.740under the Biden DOJ. Can you blame him? Newly declassified documents released by the Director
00:06:51.440of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard this week, exposing what she calls a, quote, coordinated
00:06:56.560effort inside the intel community to, quote, manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the
00:07:03.120basis to impeach President Trump in 2019. As a quick refresher, in August 2019, a whistleblower,
00:07:10.260later identified by RealClear Investigations as Eric Charamella, filing a complaint centered on
00:07:17.400a July phone call between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:07:22.980alleging Mr. Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden
00:07:27.180while withholding roughly $400 million in U.S. military aid. Those allegations becoming the
00:07:33.780basis for Mr. Trump's impeachment by the House on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of
00:07:39.080Congress before he was ultimately acquitted by the U.S. Senate. In the months and years since,
00:07:45.260key details about the whistleblower and his account coming out, including that he was not
00:07:50.000a firsthand witness to the call, he spoke with Democratic staff on the House Intelligence
00:07:54.880Committee before filing his complaint, he was a registered Democrat, and he previously worked
00:08:00.060with Vice President Biden on Ukraine policy. These new documents released by DNI Gabbard,
00:08:06.100focusing squarely on the actions of the then Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael
00:08:11.700Atkinson, alleging that despite being aware of the whistleblower's issues, the IG, quote,
00:08:18.500proceeded to take actions to weaponize the whistleblower process, including keeping key
00:08:23.400information about the whistleblower's credibility classified and out of the hands of Congress and
00:08:28.580the public. We spoke with founder and CEO of Just the News, John Solomon, who first reported on these
00:08:35.080newly declassified documents, who says the first Trump impeachment was a ruse from the start.
00:08:40.960It's actually in the moment, right after Donald Trump has been cleared of Russia collusion,
00:08:45.800that a new scandal starts. I write the stories in The Hill in March of 2019,
00:08:49.800saying that Joe Biden fired the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating
00:08:53.360Hunter Biden's company in Ukraine called Burisma. A big scandal starts. ABC and New York Times are
00:09:00.260following the story. And all of a sudden, a whistleblower comes out of the blue
00:09:04.040from the intelligence community and says Donald Trump was trying to pressure the new Ukrainian
00:09:09.540president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate this Hunter Biden, Joe Biden stuff. And there's
00:09:15.400no truth to the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden stuff. And it was an inappropriate use of the president's
00:09:21.620power in a foreign conversation. And that touches off impeachment, which results in the president
00:09:26.860being impeached before he's acquitted in the Senate. Solomon telling us the IG's successful
00:09:32.360effort to hide what he knew about the lack of credibility from the whistleblower amounts to a
00:09:37.780serious violation of the judicial process. They decided to keep that information classified so
00:09:44.000that it couldn't be given to Congress, couldn't be given to the president's defense lawyers,
00:09:48.400couldn't be given to the senators who sat in judgment of the president or the House members
00:09:52.440who had to decide whether to impeach a president. In any other judicial proceeding, this would be
00:09:57.720considered what they call a Brady violation, a failure of the government to turn over exculpatory
00:10:03.780evidence so that a defendant can make their best chance or best case for innocence. It is so severe
00:10:09.580an omission that, uh, Tulsi Gabbard yesterday, when she released these documents at the request
00:10:14.540of just the news, Tulsi Gabbard said, I believe the inspector general, the former inspector general
00:10:19.560of the intelligence committee, um, weaponized the whistleblower system and hijacked the
00:10:25.040responsibility of the intelligence community to be forthcoming. Those are very strong words from
00:10:29.860the DNI. Solomon says it's unclear exactly why the IG withheld key information about the
00:10:35.820whistleblower's credibility, but points to one possible explanation. We don't know the reason
00:10:41.320why it was kept secret. We do know one thing from documents that we got from Tulsi Gabbard.
00:10:46.800The whistleblower was pressuring the internal, the inspector general of the intelligence community
00:10:52.060not to turn over the evidence of bias.
00:10:54.460He was worried that if people found out about his biases,
00:10:57.380his connection to Joe Biden and Ukraine policy,
00:11:01.580his dislike of Republicans, that he might be undercut.
00:11:05.620And so he was pressuring the inspector general.
00:11:07.660We don't know whether that was a factor,
00:11:09.720but what we do know is the evidence remained classified
00:11:12.800and therefore couldn't be introduced at the trial
00:11:16.460or the impeachment managers to have that benefit,
00:11:19.760let alone the president's own lawyers.
00:11:22.060The big question now is whether there will be any accountability for all of this.
00:11:27.320We don't know whether what Michael Atkinson did rose to the level of a crime or not.
00:11:31.400So I am reporting today that the new inspector general of the intelligence community is reviewing all of the whistleblower urgent concern cases of the last few years to see if they were properly handled in light of what they learned here.
00:11:44.960that is going to get into two very important cases this one that we just talked about ukraine and
00:11:49.780another one where efforts to notify the president and the congress about potential chinese infiltration
00:11:57.360of voter registration databases in 2020 was suppressed and the fact that those are getting
00:12:02.980a fresh look with a new sheriff in town is certainly i think something that might the
00:12:08.280public might be interested in whether that results later in a criminal referral whether someone in
00:12:12.600Congress does it. We don't know yet. Coming up, a growing number of missing and dead scientists

00:13:55.640scientists and officials who have died or disappeared in recent years, all with ties
00:14:00.720to sensitive U.S. government programs involving nuclear or advanced defense research. 48-year-old
00:14:07.380Steven Garcia vanishing on August 28th of 2025, reportedly last seen leaving his home in Albuquerque,
00:14:15.180New Mexico on foot, carrying only a handgun. Just like General McCasland. We'll get to him in one
00:14:22.040sec. According to the report, the circumstances of Garcia's disappearance closely mirror at least
00:14:27.980three others of the 10, all of whom had connections to nuclear or rocket technology
00:14:33.120and lived in New Mexico. Prior to vanishing, Garcia worked as a government contractor
00:14:38.560at the Kansas City National Security Campus, or KCNSC, a key facility tied to America's
00:14:45.760nuclear infrastructure. The Daily Mail reporting, quote, KCNSC manufactures more than 80% of all
00:14:53.380the non-nuclear components that go into building the military's nuclear weapons. A source describing
00:14:59.720Garcia's role as, quote, a very high-level overseeing position for all the assets, tens,
00:15:05.620maybe hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment and assets, some of which are not classified,
00:15:10.920others would be. The other three eerily similar cases involving individuals who also left their
00:15:17.020homes on foot and were never seen again. Among them, retired Air Force General William Neal
00:15:22.680McCasland, who disappeared from his Albuquerque home earlier this year, reportedly also leaving
00:15:29.120with only a handgun. Throughout his career, McCasland overseeing advanced Air Force research
00:15:35.060programs, including leading its $2.2 billion science and technology lab, where he's believed
00:15:41.160to have been tied to alleged UFO research. The two others, Anthony Chavez and Melissa Casillas,
00:15:47.740working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, also disappearing last year,
00:15:52.800last seen leaving their homes on foot.
00:15:55.580Meanwhile, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb telling Fox 32 Chicago
00:16:00.520that while the disappearances may not be related,
00:16:03.160there is serious risk of working on sensitive projects like these.
00:16:08.200These are programs to develop technologies that are useful for the Air Force,
00:16:13.800that are classified and others relate to nuclear fusion where study of nuclear fusion obviously
00:16:22.660has important implications for energy sources but also potentially for applications in space and
00:16:30.380some of which might be related to national security adversarial nations might be interested
00:16:35.500in some of these secrets and they could have operations either trying to get information
00:16:42.160about what these programs entail and or may perhaps even follow individuals.
00:16:49.460And so definitely it comes with the territory if you sign up for a classified program
00:16:54.880that you have to worry about being monitored, about the data being available to espionage
