00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.300 Welcome, it is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.280 And Senator, I think we can just go ahead and start the show with a simple,
00:00:13.120 we told you so on this show a long time ago,
00:00:16.340 that there was, in fact, people that were working with the FBI
00:00:20.600 in and around January the 6th at the Capitol.
00:00:24.240 You know, I got to say at this point, it is getting striking.
00:00:26.540 Everything that is decried as a conspiracy theory,
00:00:30.000 just a few months later, is proven right.
00:00:32.680 It wasn't that long ago where the media and Democrats were screaming,
00:00:35.900 if you said the COVID virus escaped from the Wuhan lab in China,
00:00:39.820 you were painted as a crazy conspiracy theorist
00:00:42.960 until it was confirmed very likely to be true.
00:00:46.620 It wasn't that long ago, if you said, as we did on this podcast,
00:00:51.280 that Joe Biden has deteriorated mentally severely
00:00:54.620 and will not be the Democrat nominee for president in 2024,
00:00:58.060 that was derided as a crazy conspiracy theory
00:01:01.760 until, again, it was proven right.
00:01:04.900 And it wasn't that long ago that if you said that the FBI
00:01:07.920 had confidential human sources, had undercover agents
00:01:11.000 at the January 6th riots participating in those riots,
00:01:14.720 as we did on this podcast,
00:01:16.900 that was decried as a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:01:20.140 All three of those statements, verdict was ahead of the curve.
00:01:26.560 We laid out the facts for them early on,
00:01:29.120 and now all three have been proven accurate.
00:01:32.820 This week, the inspector general of the Department of Justice
00:01:36.660 revealed 26 FBI informants were present on January 6th,
00:01:42.880 multiple entered the Capitol,
00:01:45.100 and participated in the riots on that day.
00:01:48.760 We're going to break all of that down,
00:01:50.280 and we're going to lay out how this podcast
00:01:53.600 laid out the evidence long before
00:01:56.880 it was now acknowledged publicly.
00:01:59.800 We're also going to talk
00:02:00.660 about how the Biden administration in the final days,
00:02:04.360 it reminds me of,
00:02:06.100 you remember in the 1990s and the 2000s,
00:02:08.380 those films on cable of Girls Gone Wild?
00:02:12.680 Oh, yeah.
00:02:13.460 That is the Biden administration.
00:02:15.540 They're drunk and screaming around like crazy,
00:02:17.700 and just pushing every crazy left-wing theory that they have.
00:02:20.940 And this is something that pisses me off.
00:02:23.560 We're going to talk about it.
00:02:24.240 The Biden administration is literally
00:02:26.180 trying to auction off portions of the border wall
00:02:30.500 that have not been constructed for as little as five bucks a piece.
00:02:33.620 Why?
00:02:33.960 Because they desperately don't want Trump to use it,
00:02:35.940 so they're trying to basically rob the American taxpayers
00:02:39.080 to keep an open border as long as possible.
00:02:41.760 All of that is on today's podcast.
00:02:43.700 Yeah, we've got a lot to cover.
00:02:45.140 It is the holiday season,
00:02:46.780 and this Christmas and Hanukkah season,
00:02:48.960 it is a time of hope and peace for many of us.
00:02:51.760 But for those in Israel facing the ongoing war,
00:02:54.700 it is a time of fear and a lot of uncertainty.
00:02:58.560 The hardships are felt by everyone,
00:03:01.100 with many people struggling to afford food and basic necessities.
00:03:05.260 During this holiday season,
00:03:06.720 many living through the war in the Holy Land
00:03:08.740 are grieving the loss of loved ones,
00:03:10.520 while also enduring isolation and hunger.
00:03:14.820 We must not let them feel forgotten by the rest of the world.
00:03:18.420 And that's why I'm proud to say I partner
00:03:20.900 with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:03:24.900 Now, your special holiday gift to the fellowship
00:03:27.300 helps provide a Hanukkah food box
00:03:29.540 filled with basic necessities and essentials
00:03:32.820 to bring nourishment, warmth, and comfort to someone in need.
00:03:36.840 So give the gift of hope and answered prayers this holiday season.
00:03:41.960 Go to supportifcj.org to donate now.
00:03:47.280 That's supportifcj.org,
00:03:50.420 or you can call and give over the phone.
00:03:53.240 888-488-IFCJ.
00:03:56.800 That's 888-488-IFCJ,
00:04:00.780 or 4325.
00:04:02.840 So let's just go back in time
00:04:05.440 to start with this FBI story, Senator.
00:04:08.460 And I think there's a lot of Americans now
00:04:11.000 that are just livid.
00:04:12.860 I want to go back to what we already knew,
00:04:15.840 and the FBI's refusal to answer your question
00:04:19.720 on this exact issue in 2023
00:04:24.040 told us everything we need to know,
00:04:26.220 which has now basically become true.
00:04:28.320 Now, set this up for everybody
00:04:30.000 so they know who you're talking to before I hit play.
00:04:33.200 Well, I'm here questioning a senior official
00:04:36.440 from the FBI, Jill Sanborn,
00:04:38.660 about what happened on January 6th.
00:04:40.600 And I'm trying to get just some basic facts.
00:04:43.820 And for a spoiler alert,
00:04:45.800 the FBI, like the Department of Justice,
00:04:47.820 both under Joe Biden, just stonewall.
00:04:50.100 They refuse to answer anything.
00:04:52.120 So listen back.
00:04:53.160 This is over a year ago,
00:04:55.160 and we're going to find out
00:04:56.100 that everything I was asking about then,
00:04:58.380 well, it's pretty much proven true today.
00:05:00.400 Give a listen.
00:05:01.480 How many FBI agents
00:05:02.740 or confidential informants
00:05:04.680 actively participated in the events of January 6th?
00:05:07.520 Sir, I'm sure you can appreciate
00:05:08.880 that I can't go into the specifics
00:05:11.020 of sources and methods
00:05:12.400 Did any FBI agents
00:05:14.560 or confidential informants
00:05:16.360 actively participate
00:05:17.500 in the events of January 6th?
00:05:19.160 Yes or no?
00:05:19.920 Sir, I can't answer that.
00:05:21.740 Did any FBI agents
00:05:22.940 or confidential informants
00:05:24.260 commit crimes of violence
00:05:25.780 on January 6th?
00:05:27.300 I can't answer that, sir.
00:05:28.780 Did any FBI agents
00:05:30.080 or FBI informants
00:05:31.860 actively encourage
00:05:33.600 and incite crimes of violence
00:05:35.860 on January 6th?
00:05:37.280 Sir, I can't answer that.
00:05:38.480 Ms. Sadburn, who is Ray Epps?
00:05:40.320 I'm aware of the individual, sir.
00:05:42.200 I don't have the specific background to him.
00:05:44.920 Well, there are a lot of people
00:05:46.140 who are understandably very concerned
00:05:47.640 about Mr. Epps.
00:05:48.640 On the night of January 5th, 2021,
00:05:51.560 Epps wandered around the crowd
00:05:53.300 that had gathered
00:05:53.980 and there's video out there
00:05:55.520 of him chanting,
00:05:56.360 tomorrow,
00:05:57.360 we need to get into the Capitol.
00:05:59.640 This was strange behavior,
00:06:01.020 so strange
00:06:01.840 that the crowd began chanting,
00:06:04.060 Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed.
00:06:07.080 Ms. Sadburn, was Ray Epps a Fed?
00:06:08.640 Sir, I cannot answer that question.
00:06:11.540 The next day,
00:06:12.540 on January 6th,
00:06:14.320 Mr. Epps is seen
00:06:15.280 whispering to a person
00:06:16.420 and five seconds later,
00:06:18.500 five seconds after
00:06:19.440 he's whispering to a person,
00:06:20.880 that same person begins
00:06:22.280 to forcibly tear down
00:06:23.580 the barricades.
00:06:24.860 Did Mr. Epps urge them
00:06:27.040 to tear down the barricades?
00:06:29.080 Sir, similar to the other answers,
00:06:31.460 I cannot answer that.
00:06:32.760 Shortly thereafter,
00:06:33.800 the FBI put out
00:06:34.820 a public post
00:06:35.780 listing,
00:06:37.000 seeking information
00:06:37.980 on individuals
00:06:38.880 connected with violent crimes
00:06:40.320 on January 6th.
00:06:41.780 Among those individuals,
00:06:43.040 in the bottom there,
00:06:44.140 is Mr. Epps.
00:06:45.080 The FBI publicly asked
00:06:46.520 for information,
00:06:47.840 identifying,
00:06:48.880 offering cash rewards
00:06:50.440 leading to information,
00:06:51.980 for information
00:06:53.060 leading to the arrest.
00:06:54.520 This was posted
00:06:55.380 and then,
00:06:56.240 sometime later,
00:06:57.640 magically,
00:06:58.820 Mr. Epps
00:06:59.420 disappeared
00:07:00.260 from the public posting.
00:07:01.980 According to public records,
00:07:03.060 Mr. Epps
00:07:03.440 has not been charged
00:07:04.360 with anything.
00:07:04.880 No one's explained
00:07:06.460 why a person
00:07:07.780 videoed,
00:07:09.100 urging people
00:07:10.040 to go to the Capitol,
00:07:11.280 a person whose conduct
00:07:12.340 was so suspect,
00:07:13.760 the crowd believed
00:07:14.940 he was a Fed,
00:07:16.220 would magically disappear
00:07:17.740 from the list of people
00:07:18.860 the FBI
00:07:19.420 was looking at.
00:07:21.480 Ms. Sandburn,
00:07:22.320 a lot of Americans
00:07:23.200 are concerned
00:07:24.080 that the federal government
00:07:25.740 deliberately encouraged
00:07:27.940 illegal and violent conduct
00:07:29.660 on January 6th.
00:07:31.120 My question to you,
00:07:32.080 and this is not an ordinary
00:07:33.400 law enforcement question,
00:07:34.660 this is a question
00:07:35.560 of public accountability.
00:07:37.200 Did federal agents
00:07:38.260 or those in service
00:07:40.040 of federal agent
00:07:41.020 actively encourage
00:07:42.580 violent and criminal conduct
00:07:44.100 on January 6th?
00:07:45.920 Not to my knowledge, sir.
00:07:47.540 So let me just ask
00:07:49.260 the obvious question,
00:07:50.460 Senator.
00:07:50.800 What was the basis
00:07:52.220 and how did the FBI,
00:07:54.580 back when you were
00:07:55.160 asking these questions
00:07:55.980 in 2023,
00:07:57.720 get away with not answering
00:07:59.500 one of your questions?
00:08:00.680 Well, unfortunately,
00:08:03.280 particularly under Joe Biden,
00:08:04.400 both the FBI and the DOJ
00:08:05.860 behave as if they are
00:08:06.880 utterly unaccountable
00:08:08.260 to Congress
00:08:08.820 and to the American people.
00:08:10.800 So every time
00:08:12.000 I ask the Department of Justice
00:08:13.840 or I ask the FBI
00:08:14.840 about anything
00:08:15.620 about their abuse of power,
00:08:17.040 about their politicized
00:08:19.060 enforcement of justice,
00:08:21.220 about their weaponization,
00:08:22.740 they stonewall.
00:08:23.720 Often they will say,
00:08:24.760 I don't know,
00:08:25.260 I don't know,
00:08:25.680 I don't know.
00:08:26.220 That has happened many times
00:08:27.580 when you ask about them.
00:08:29.160 Or they refuse to answer
00:08:30.860 reasonable questions
00:08:32.000 or they do as they just
00:08:33.180 as they do just there.
00:08:34.720 They just stonewall.
00:08:37.560 I can tell you.
00:08:38.780 Is that because
00:08:39.300 you don't have to worry
00:08:40.220 about like any
00:08:41.040 like consequences?
00:08:43.880 I mean,
00:08:44.040 they go into the meeting
00:08:44.940 clearly saying
00:08:45.620 if there's a question
00:08:46.340 you don't want to answer,
00:08:47.060 just don't answer it?
00:08:48.300 So yes,
00:08:48.960 there's several reasons.
00:08:49.880 Number one,
00:08:50.520 under the Democrats
00:08:51.420 and remember the Democrats
00:08:52.380 have the majority
00:08:53.080 in the Senate right now.
00:08:54.660 So no Democrat
00:08:55.660 cares about the answer
00:08:56.840 to this question.
00:08:57.580 No Democrat
00:08:58.040 asks these questions.
00:08:59.540 No Democrat
00:09:00.020 will enforce a subpoena.
00:09:01.720 No Democrat
00:09:02.160 will vote for a subpoena.
00:09:03.100 No Democrat
00:09:03.620 will do anything
00:09:04.960 to impose consequences.
00:09:06.300 But not only that,
00:09:07.920 Merrick Garland
00:09:08.580 and the entire
00:09:10.160 Department of Justice
00:09:11.100 and the FBI,
00:09:12.600 I think they have
00:09:13.580 an arrogance
00:09:14.260 that they believe
00:09:15.700 they don't answer
00:09:17.080 to anyone.
00:09:17.580 And I'll tell you,
00:09:18.020 this is a problem
00:09:18.700 that is extended.
00:09:20.140 It's been a bipartisan problem.
00:09:21.300 It's been a problem
00:09:21.900 at DOJ and the FBI
00:09:23.160 through Republican
00:09:24.100 and Democrat administrations.
00:09:26.020 I can tell you,
00:09:27.040 I spent over an hour today
00:09:28.380 meeting with Kash Patel,
00:09:29.660 who's President Trump's
00:09:31.040 nominee to run the FBI.
00:09:32.440 I met previously
00:09:33.620 with Pam Bondi,
00:09:34.560 who's President Trump's
00:09:35.720 nominee to be
00:09:36.300 the Department of Justice.
00:09:37.700 I am hopeful
00:09:38.800 that both of them,
00:09:39.660 I think both will be confirmed,
00:09:41.460 and I'm hopeful
00:09:42.260 that both of them
00:09:43.320 will bring much,
00:09:44.760 much greater transparency
00:09:46.420 to the Department of Justice
00:09:48.640 and the FBI
00:09:49.340 than we have seen
00:09:50.320 under Joe Biden,
00:09:51.080 that they will answer
00:09:51.840 these questions.
00:09:53.880 And based on the conversations
00:09:55.380 I've had with them,
00:09:56.220 I have real reason
00:09:57.200 to be hopeful
00:09:57.640 because they're telling me
00:09:58.640 that they intend
00:09:59.620 to substantially increase
00:10:00.860 the transparency.
00:10:01.700 I think that's an obligation.
00:10:02.840 I can tell you,
00:10:03.700 I have had this conversation
00:10:04.860 directly with Chris Wray
00:10:05.980 repeatedly,
00:10:06.560 and he views his job
00:10:08.400 as I've got to protect
00:10:09.500 the FBI,
00:10:10.360 and so when his people
00:10:12.340 stonewall,
00:10:13.000 he's just going to circle
00:10:13.880 the wagons around them
00:10:14.900 and try to protect
00:10:17.160 their stonewalling.
00:10:18.180 And I think there's
00:10:19.020 an obligation,
00:10:19.800 particularly on something
00:10:20.820 such as the riots
00:10:21.680 on January 6th,
00:10:23.040 where there is intense
00:10:24.300 public concern.
00:10:25.600 What was the involvement
00:10:26.900 of the federal government
00:10:28.420 of the FBI?
00:10:29.640 And listen,
00:10:30.540 we now know,
00:10:31.660 not through any transparency
00:10:33.200 from the FBI,
00:10:34.040 but instead,
00:10:35.480 the Inspector General
00:10:36.440 of the Department of Justice,
00:10:37.540 Michael Horowitz,
00:10:38.340 put out a report,
00:10:39.180 and the report concluded
00:10:40.240 just this week
00:10:41.420 that 26 FBI informants
00:10:44.620 were present
00:10:45.180 on January 6th
00:10:47.540 in the crowd
00:10:48.540 outside the Capitol.
00:10:49.880 Only three were assigned
00:10:51.520 by the FBI
00:10:52.180 to be present
00:10:52.740 for the event.
00:10:54.300 And now,
00:10:55.100 the Inspector General report
00:10:56.460 stresses that none
00:10:57.780 of the sources
00:10:58.340 were authorized
00:10:59.060 or directed by the Bureau
00:11:00.540 to, quote,
00:11:02.020 break the law
00:11:02.740 or, quote,
00:11:03.420 encourage others
00:11:04.260 to commit illegal acts.
00:11:06.600 Now,
00:11:06.900 they weren't authorized
00:11:08.640 to do so,
00:11:10.460 but what it doesn't say
00:11:11.420 conclusively
00:11:12.020 is they didn't do so.
00:11:13.660 The report says,
00:11:14.780 quote,
00:11:15.740 Today's report
00:11:16.560 also details
00:11:17.860 our findings
00:11:18.460 regarding FBI
00:11:19.900 confidential human sources
00:11:21.120 who were in Washington,
00:11:22.360 D.C.
00:11:22.680 on January 6th.
00:11:24.200 Our review determined
00:11:25.300 that none of these FBI
00:11:26.740 confidential human sources
00:11:28.080 was authorized
00:11:29.200 by the FBI
00:11:29.960 to enter the Capitol
00:11:30.860 or restricted area
00:11:32.300 or to otherwise
00:11:33.160 break the law
00:11:33.900 on January 6th.
00:11:35.380 Nor was any
00:11:36.320 confidential human source
00:11:37.540 directed by the FBI
00:11:38.800 to encourage others
00:11:39.760 to commit illegal acts
00:11:40.780 on January 6th.
00:11:42.480 Hold on, hold on.
00:11:43.060 That sounds like
00:11:43.580 some lawyer terms.
00:11:44.640 I know you're reading this
00:11:45.640 and I want to...
00:11:46.500 Yeah, I'm reading
00:11:46.960 from the report.
00:11:47.700 So it is lawyer terms.
00:11:49.080 It's written by a lawyer.
00:11:49.940 Yeah, it's lawyer terms,
00:11:50.160 but it says
00:11:50.440 weren't encouraged
00:11:51.580 to break the law.
00:11:52.800 Like, that's some...
00:11:54.120 That is written
00:11:54.740 by a lawyer.
00:11:55.800 No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:56.800 You're actually...
00:11:57.680 You missed one of the verbs.
00:11:59.100 I'm ready.
00:12:00.640 Directed by the FBI
00:12:01.840 to encourage others
00:12:04.040 to commit illegal acts.
00:12:05.400 So there's a double...
00:12:06.220 There's a double set of verbs.
00:12:08.340 It's saying
00:12:08.640 the FBI did not order them
00:12:10.380 to encourage others
00:12:11.520 to commit illegal acts.
00:12:13.320 Now, it doesn't say
00:12:14.080 they didn't encourage others.
00:12:15.340 They didn't incite others
00:12:16.640 to commit illegal acts.
00:12:17.580 It just says
00:12:18.240 they weren't ordered
00:12:19.180 by the FBI to do so.
00:12:21.240 And it also says
00:12:22.320 they weren't authorized
00:12:23.200 to enter the Capitol
00:12:24.320 or the restricted area.
00:12:25.380 But interestingly enough,
00:12:26.800 it concludes, however,
00:12:29.120 that they went
00:12:30.500 far beyond
00:12:31.300 their authorization.
00:12:32.040 So three confidential
00:12:34.400 human sources,
00:12:35.400 according to this report,
00:12:36.400 were tasked by the FBI
00:12:37.700 to attend the rally.
00:12:39.780 And one of the three
00:12:42.480 tasked by the FBI
00:12:44.060 to attend the rally
00:12:44.860 entered the Capitol building,
00:12:46.300 which, mind you,
00:12:47.120 the Biden Department of Justice
00:12:48.300 contends is illegal
00:12:49.320 and they're prosecuting
00:12:50.220 people for it.
00:12:51.340 The other two
00:12:52.500 entered the restricted area
00:12:54.740 around the Capitol,
00:12:55.640 which I believe
00:12:56.340 they are also prosecuting
00:12:57.480 people for doing.
00:12:58.920 And one thing to understand
00:13:00.160 that if a confidential
00:13:01.180 human source
00:13:01.980 is directed
00:13:03.040 to be at an event
00:13:04.060 by the FBI,
00:13:05.000 they're being paid
00:13:05.980 by the FBI
00:13:07.480 for their time.
00:13:08.620 Now, here's what
00:13:09.020 the report says,
00:13:09.840 quote,
00:13:10.420 one FBI field office
00:13:11.820 tasked a confidential
00:13:12.760 human source
00:13:13.380 to travel to D.C.
00:13:14.940 to report on the activities
00:13:16.180 of a predicted
00:13:16.760 domestic terrorism subject
00:13:18.200 who was separately
00:13:18.940 planning to travel to D.C.
00:13:20.700 for the January 6th
00:13:21.940 electoral certification.
00:13:23.840 A second FBI field office
00:13:25.320 tasked a confidential
00:13:26.360 human source
00:13:26.960 to travel to D.C.
00:13:27.860 to potentially report
00:13:29.100 on two domestic
00:13:29.840 terrorism subjects
00:13:30.660 from another FBI field office
00:13:32.200 who were planning
00:13:33.160 to travel to D.C.
00:13:34.060 for the events
00:13:34.520 of January 6th.
00:13:35.460 And a third
00:13:35.980 confidential human source
00:13:37.120 who had informed
00:13:38.320 their handling agent
00:13:39.140 that they intended
00:13:39.720 to travel to D.C.
00:13:40.540 on their own initiative
00:13:41.740 for the events
00:13:42.760 of January 6th
00:13:43.680 was similarly tasked
00:13:44.680 by their field office
00:13:45.600 to potentially report
00:13:46.600 on two domestic
00:13:47.660 terrorism subjects
00:13:48.460 from other FBI field offices
00:13:50.040 who were planning
00:13:50.620 to travel to D.C.
00:13:51.500 for the events
00:13:52.160 of January 6th.
00:13:55.080 23 of the confidential
00:13:57.220 human sources
00:13:58.140 present on January 6th
00:14:00.100 came to the Capitol
00:14:01.020 on their own.
00:14:01.620 So of the 26th
00:14:02.460 that were there...
00:14:02.980 Hold on, hold on,
00:14:03.380 wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:14:04.100 I'm sorry.
00:14:04.840 This is where my BS monitor
00:14:06.240 goes off, Senator.
00:14:07.400 You're telling me
00:14:08.460 that on January 6th
00:14:09.820 I'm supposed to believe
00:14:11.280 that over 20
00:14:13.560 FBI informants
00:14:16.660 just on their own accord
00:14:19.340 not being paid,
00:14:21.260 not being directed
00:14:22.460 by anyone in our government
00:14:23.740 just said,
00:14:24.220 yeah, let's go
00:14:25.080 on January 6th
00:14:26.080 and just see what happens?
00:14:28.220 Well, that's what
00:14:29.200 the report says
00:14:30.140 and it says
00:14:30.660 of those 23,
00:14:32.700 three entered the Capitol
00:14:34.880 during the riot
00:14:35.620 and an additional
00:14:37.260 11 sources
00:14:38.880 entered the restricted area
00:14:40.960 around the Capitol.
00:14:42.740 So if 11 are restricted areas
00:14:44.880 and three are inside,
00:14:46.340 then my next question is
00:14:48.160 how many of them
00:14:49.240 have been charged
00:14:50.020 with crimes?
00:14:50.740 Well, the report
00:14:52.500 doesn't answer that.
00:14:54.360 Shocker.
00:14:55.220 And mind you,
00:14:56.160 look,
00:14:56.940 these are questions,
00:14:58.620 these are all the questions
00:14:59.800 that I was asking
00:15:00.640 the FBI years ago
00:15:02.680 and that they were
00:15:03.760 refusing to answer
00:15:05.000 and their view,
00:15:06.460 there's an arrogance.
00:15:07.960 They don't think
00:15:08.640 they owe the American people
00:15:10.260 an answer
00:15:10.700 and mind you,
00:15:12.080 this FBI
00:15:12.660 has a bad pattern.
00:15:15.440 If you look at,
00:15:16.280 they brought a domestic
00:15:17.400 terrorism case
00:15:18.320 in Michigan,
00:15:19.520 if you recall,
00:15:20.460 with the individuals
00:15:21.220 that were charged
00:15:22.320 with attempting
00:15:23.040 to kidnap and murder
00:15:24.100 the governor of Michigan
00:15:25.560 and they prosecuted them
00:15:27.720 and they ended up
00:15:28.380 having the case
00:15:29.160 thrown out
00:15:30.280 because they concluded
00:15:33.940 that the FBI agents
00:15:35.060 entrapped these guys,
00:15:36.300 that it was basically
00:15:37.400 confidential human sources
00:15:39.780 in the FBI
00:15:40.460 that were saying,
00:15:41.260 hey, don't you think
00:15:41.820 this is a good idea?
00:15:42.580 Let's go kidnap
00:15:43.820 and murder the governor.
00:15:45.400 And the basic rule
00:15:47.500 of criminal law
00:15:48.180 is the federal government
00:15:49.060 can't go entice you
00:15:50.340 to commit a crime.
00:15:51.580 All right,
00:15:51.880 so then let's go back
00:15:53.580 to January 6th that day
00:15:54.900 and the questions
00:15:55.580 that you were asking.
00:15:57.280 If any of these
00:15:58.760 FBI informants
00:16:00.140 who are there
00:16:01.300 on their own accord,
00:16:02.500 as they want us
00:16:03.180 to believe,
00:16:03.820 over 20,
00:16:05.280 are there...
00:16:06.220 And by the way,
00:16:07.020 three were not.
00:16:07.800 Three were directed
00:16:08.680 by the FBI
00:16:09.280 to be there.
00:16:10.120 Right.
00:16:10.520 So if the three
00:16:12.080 that are being directed
00:16:12.960 are directing people
00:16:13.880 to commit crimes,
00:16:15.940 let's start
00:16:16.740 with those three then
00:16:17.460 and then we'll move
00:16:18.000 on to the other 20.
00:16:19.000 What does the law
00:16:19.880 say about that
00:16:20.760 and the people
00:16:21.440 that may have been arrested?
00:16:22.300 So nothing in the report
00:16:23.060 says whether these 26
00:16:25.420 directed anyone
00:16:26.460 to commit crimes.
00:16:27.680 Correct.
00:16:28.100 What the report says
00:16:29.200 is the FBI
00:16:30.560 didn't instruct them
00:16:31.980 to encourage others
00:16:33.360 to commit crimes.
00:16:34.660 Let's say whether
00:16:35.220 they did it or not.
00:16:36.580 Right.
00:16:36.820 If you're a lawyer
00:16:37.340 writing that,
00:16:37.880 why are you writing it
00:16:38.640 that way?
00:16:39.100 Explain that.
00:16:39.940 What is the strategy here?
00:16:41.340 Is that because you and I
00:16:42.740 know what the answer
00:16:43.480 probably is?
00:16:44.320 So therefore,
00:16:44.700 they're writing it that way?
00:16:45.820 You know, look,
00:16:46.480 I don't know
00:16:47.680 and I will say
00:16:49.360 I believe we will know
00:16:50.760 much, much more
00:16:51.780 about this
00:16:52.560 in the next couple of months.
00:16:55.280 Once we have Pam Bondi
00:16:57.080 and Kash Patel confirmed,
00:16:58.880 I think they will release
00:17:00.380 significantly more information
00:17:02.360 to the public.
00:17:03.100 I think they both understand
00:17:04.280 the public has a right
00:17:05.140 to know.
00:17:05.940 What was the FBI's
00:17:09.440 level of involvement?
00:17:10.480 What was the culpability?
00:17:12.100 I think there is
00:17:13.860 significant public interest
00:17:15.460 in the answers to that
00:17:16.480 and I think the Biden
00:17:17.280 Department of Justice
00:17:18.220 desperately wants
00:17:20.000 to avoid anyone
00:17:21.160 from knowing that.
00:17:22.620 But you know what?
00:17:23.380 That's the Democrats
00:17:24.220 lost the election
00:17:25.180 and elections have consequences.
00:17:27.540 Canadian women
00:17:28.380 are looking for more.
00:17:29.700 More out of themselves,
00:17:30.760 their businesses,
00:17:31.720 their elected leaders
00:17:32.480 and the world around them.
00:17:33.900 And that's why we're
00:17:34.540 thrilled to introduce
00:17:35.500 the Honest Talk podcast.
00:17:37.540 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:17:38.800 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:17:40.020 And in this podcast,
00:17:40.980 we interview Canada's
00:17:42.160 most inspiring women,
00:17:43.640 entrepreneurs,
00:17:44.460 artists,
00:17:45.140 athletes,
00:17:45.740 politicians,
00:17:46.200 and newsmakers,
00:17:47.080 all at different stages
00:17:48.380 of their journey.
00:17:49.540 So if you're looking
00:17:50.540 to connect,
00:17:51.340 then we hope you'll join us.
00:17:52.780 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast
00:17:54.140 on iHeartRadio
00:17:55.140 or wherever you listen
00:17:56.100 to your podcasts.
00:17:58.520 So let's talk about
00:17:59.500 the lie aspect of this
00:18:00.720 real quick
00:18:01.160 and what this means.
00:18:02.120 Will there be accountability
00:18:03.000 for the administration?
00:18:05.600 Will there be accountability
00:18:06.800 for the FBI
00:18:08.280 if more of this comes out?
00:18:10.800 Because revealing
00:18:11.700 that 26 FBI informants
00:18:13.320 were presented,
00:18:14.580 present, I should say,
00:18:15.620 on January the 6th,
00:18:17.520 that is going against
00:18:19.260 what we've been told
00:18:20.120 since January the 6th.
00:18:21.580 Well, to be fair,
00:18:23.540 it's not clear to me
00:18:25.380 that the FBI lied about this.
00:18:28.260 We started this podcast
00:18:29.980 playing my cross-examination
00:18:31.620 of a senior FBI official
00:18:33.060 and she just refused
00:18:33.860 to answer me.
00:18:34.520 She didn't lie.
00:18:35.880 She didn't say,
00:18:36.760 no, they weren't there.
00:18:37.600 She just said,
00:18:38.060 I can't tell you that.
00:18:38.780 I can't tell you that.
00:18:39.460 I can't tell you that.
00:18:40.560 So that's not a lie.
00:18:43.220 That's not something
00:18:44.000 that could be prosecuted
00:18:45.280 for lying under oath
00:18:46.500 to Congress
00:18:46.960 because she just refused.
00:18:48.600 That was stonewalling.
00:18:50.480 That was a view,
00:18:52.440 I owe no responsibility
00:18:54.120 to Congress.
00:18:55.200 And understand, listen,
00:18:56.080 at a hearing,
00:18:57.560 when members of Congress
00:18:59.860 are questioning
00:19:00.520 the administration,
00:19:01.640 we're not doing so
00:19:02.640 for our own edification.
00:19:03.880 We're not doing so
00:19:04.580 just because we think
00:19:05.180 it'd be fun.
00:19:05.860 We're doing so
00:19:06.800 because we're trying
00:19:07.780 to fulfill our responsibility
00:19:09.320 to our constituents,
00:19:10.740 in my case,
00:19:11.820 to the 30 million Texans
00:19:13.780 whom I represent
00:19:14.600 and to ask questions
00:19:15.880 on behalf of those Texans
00:19:17.540 that I think
00:19:18.860 they have a right to know
00:19:19.840 and they have an interest
00:19:20.520 in knowing.
00:19:21.140 And so when the FBI
00:19:22.880 and Department of Justice
00:19:24.040 arrogantly say,
00:19:25.680 I won't answer that,
00:19:28.020 they're telling
00:19:28.560 the American people,
00:19:29.780 you have no right
00:19:30.500 to know what's going on.
00:19:32.220 And I gotta say,
00:19:33.260 there is a reason.
00:19:34.700 I don't think there is
00:19:36.080 a single institution
00:19:37.420 of government
00:19:38.060 whose credibility
00:19:40.120 and respect
00:19:41.000 has been diminished
00:19:42.340 more in the last
00:19:43.380 four years
00:19:44.140 than the FBI.
00:19:45.700 And listen,
00:19:46.300 that's tragic.
00:19:47.600 I gotta tell you,
00:19:48.800 the American people
00:19:50.840 right now,
00:19:51.520 it's like 50,
00:19:52.760 over 50%,
00:19:53.920 51%,
00:19:54.860 if I remember correctly
00:19:56.220 in the poll I saw
00:19:56.840 just the other day,
00:19:58.080 say they do not have faith
00:19:59.820 in the FBI.
00:20:00.880 That is a travesty.
00:20:02.220 Yeah, look,
00:20:02.660 and as I said,
00:20:03.580 I spent over an hour
00:20:04.500 talking with Kash Patel
00:20:05.540 today in my office
00:20:06.280 and one of the things
00:20:06.840 I told him is
00:20:07.420 I said regularly
00:20:08.300 in Texas
00:20:09.680 when I'm back home
00:20:10.580 people will ask me,
00:20:11.800 shouldn't we abolish
00:20:12.840 the FBI?
00:20:13.360 And I tell them,
00:20:14.580 no,
00:20:14.920 look,
00:20:15.140 the FBI does
00:20:15.920 hugely important things.
00:20:18.080 They stop terrorists
00:20:19.480 who are trying
00:20:19.880 to murder Americans.
00:20:20.740 They stop serial killers.
00:20:22.220 They stop child predators
00:20:24.120 and kidnappers.
00:20:25.120 All of that,
00:20:26.140 there is a massively
00:20:27.320 important law enforcement
00:20:28.900 and national security
00:20:29.960 mission for the FBI
00:20:31.240 and one of the massive
00:20:33.720 negative consequences
00:20:35.040 of Joe Biden
00:20:36.120 and the Democrats
00:20:36.780 weaponizing the FBI
00:20:38.180 and DOJ
00:20:39.060 is far too many
00:20:40.640 of their officials
00:20:41.820 are spending time
00:20:42.840 going after
00:20:43.820 and trying to persecute
00:20:44.940 the enemies
00:20:45.520 of the White House
00:20:46.340 rather than going after
00:20:47.700 actual terrorists
00:20:48.560 who want to murder Americans.
00:20:50.080 And it is,
00:20:51.660 I think,
00:20:53.660 and I told Kash Patel
00:20:54.720 this today,
00:20:55.340 I think he has,
00:20:56.600 he and Pam Bondi
00:20:57.600 may have the two
00:20:58.320 most difficult jobs
00:20:59.400 in the entire administration
00:21:01.160 because they have been
00:21:02.260 nominated to restore
00:21:04.200 integrity
00:21:05.040 to two institutions
00:21:06.760 that are tremendously
00:21:08.080 important to the rule of law
00:21:09.760 and to keeping Americans safe.
00:21:11.840 All right,
00:21:12.420 final question on this
00:21:13.560 because I want to move on
00:21:14.440 to some of the other stuff,
00:21:15.300 but I do think
00:21:15.940 this is a very important question.
00:21:18.000 If you are someone
00:21:20.020 who has been convicted
00:21:21.720 of all the crimes
00:21:24.600 that they threw at you,
00:21:25.700 you took a plea deal
00:21:26.720 because you were so afraid
00:21:27.960 of what the government
00:21:28.800 was going to do to you
00:21:30.700 because you were in
00:21:32.100 and or around January 6th,
00:21:34.000 let's say you're an individual
00:21:34.920 that was not violent,
00:21:36.160 for example,
00:21:37.340 and was not,
00:21:38.600 you know,
00:21:38.980 attacking the Capitol
00:21:40.900 on that day,
00:21:41.600 but you were there
00:21:42.380 and they came after you.
00:21:44.720 How could this affect
00:21:46.480 your case
00:21:47.440 now knowing
00:21:49.080 and what does this mean
00:21:51.000 for your status
00:21:52.220 if you're in jail right now
00:21:53.860 knowing that this report
00:21:55.600 reveals 26 FBI informants
00:21:57.480 were present on January 6th
00:21:58.860 with the questions
00:21:59.900 now that we're talking about?
00:22:01.060 Could that change your case?
00:22:03.140 Well, it depends.
00:22:04.100 Could it?
00:22:04.580 Sure.
00:22:05.380 And listen,
00:22:06.280 I have long said
00:22:07.360 there's a fundamental distinction
00:22:08.820 between those
00:22:10.320 who commit crimes of violence
00:22:11.540 and those who do not.
00:22:13.080 If you commit a crime of violence,
00:22:14.780 if you violently
00:22:15.740 assault a police officer,
00:22:17.080 I believe you should be prosecuted.
00:22:18.540 I think you should go to jail.
00:22:19.520 I don't think anybody
00:22:20.480 has a right
00:22:21.500 to assault a police officer
00:22:22.840 and that is true
00:22:23.760 whether I happen
00:22:24.980 to agree with your politics
00:22:26.220 or disagree with your politics.
00:22:27.860 Nobody has a right
00:22:29.040 to commit violence.
00:22:30.260 Nobody has a right
00:22:31.140 to violently attack
00:22:32.460 a police officer.
00:22:33.900 The flip side of that,
00:22:35.780 everybody has a right
00:22:37.340 to engage in peaceful protest
00:22:39.000 and peaceful speech.
00:22:40.320 And by the way,
00:22:40.800 that's true
00:22:41.340 whether I agree with you
00:22:42.760 or disagree with you.
00:22:43.620 I may love what you're saying
00:22:44.720 or I may hate
00:22:45.460 what you're saying.
00:22:46.500 You might be a complete
00:22:47.800 idiot knucklehead.
00:22:49.820 You might be a Klansman
00:22:50.820 or a Nazi or whatever
00:22:51.920 and I despise Klansmen
00:22:53.140 and Nazis
00:22:53.580 but you know what?
00:22:54.460 They have a right to speak
00:22:55.320 under the First Amendment.
00:22:56.400 They don't have a right
00:22:56.920 to commit acts of violence
00:22:58.200 but they do have a right
00:22:59.700 to speak.
00:23:00.240 Everyone has a right to speak
00:23:01.440 and what the Biden
00:23:03.100 Justice Department has done
00:23:04.580 is it has used
00:23:05.900 a limited number
00:23:07.460 of acts of violence
00:23:08.840 as an excuse,
00:23:10.640 I believe,
00:23:11.460 to target and persecute
00:23:13.420 a large number of people
00:23:14.840 who are engaged
00:23:15.620 in peaceful speech
00:23:16.680 and protest.
00:23:17.820 Now,
00:23:18.180 I have over and over
00:23:19.860 and over again
00:23:20.440 asked the Biden
00:23:21.140 Department of Justice
00:23:21.900 simple questions.
00:23:23.180 How many people
00:23:23.860 have been prosecuted
00:23:24.940 for crimes of violence
00:23:25.800 on January 6th?
00:23:26.580 How many people
00:23:27.020 have been prosecuted
00:23:27.740 for non-violent offenses
00:23:29.240 on January 6th?
00:23:30.160 How many people
00:23:30.620 are in solitary confinement?
00:23:33.000 They refuse to answer
00:23:34.640 every question.
00:23:36.220 I've asked them in writing,
00:23:37.400 they won't answer in writing.
00:23:38.700 I've asked them in hearings,
00:23:39.920 they won't answer in hearings.
00:23:40.960 They stonewall
00:23:41.720 and they stonewall
00:23:42.480 and they stonewall
00:23:43.020 and it's infuriating.
00:23:44.580 And, you know,
00:23:45.140 when I go home to Texas,
00:23:46.240 people ask me those questions
00:23:47.380 and I tell them frustratingly,
00:23:48.680 I don't know the answer
00:23:50.000 because the Department of Justice
00:23:51.620 has the answer.
00:23:52.440 They will not tell us.
00:23:54.040 Well, here's the good news.
00:23:56.040 I think they're getting ready
00:23:56.940 to tell us
00:23:57.480 and I think they're getting ready
00:23:58.240 to tell us
00:23:58.740 because when Donald Trump
00:24:00.220 becomes the president
00:24:01.060 and puts new leadership there,
00:24:02.520 I think they understand
00:24:03.820 that they're accountable
00:24:04.780 to the American people
00:24:06.000 in a way
00:24:06.820 that the arrogance
00:24:08.980 of this current administration
00:24:10.840 believes they have
00:24:11.900 zero accountability.
00:24:12.780 Yeah, the question
00:24:14.220 that many are asking
00:24:15.140 is, was this entrapment
00:24:16.380 and more importantly,
00:24:17.520 why did it take us
00:24:18.400 four years to learn about this?
00:24:20.560 And that is, I hope,
00:24:21.680 what we get some answers to
00:24:22.840 as you're mentioning
00:24:23.460 in this new administration.
00:24:25.300 Amen.
00:24:25.640 I want to get to this other story
00:24:27.900 and it deals with the border security
00:24:29.800 and the border wall.
00:24:30.600 But before we do that,
00:24:31.480 let me tell you about our friends
00:24:32.440 over at Patriot Mobile.
00:24:34.320 If you are like me
00:24:35.500 and you are just sick and tired
00:24:36.960 of giving your money
00:24:38.200 to companies
00:24:38.760 who are actually fighting
00:24:39.720 against your values,
00:24:40.780 your family values,
00:24:41.640 your Christian values,
00:24:42.500 well, if you've got
00:24:43.600 a cell phone bill,
00:24:44.660 you need to check
00:24:45.900 who you're giving your money to
00:24:47.500 because Big Mobile
00:24:48.560 has been giving big donations
00:24:51.060 for years and years and years
00:24:53.620 to radical democratic causes,
00:24:56.780 candidates, and organizations.
00:24:58.920 I'm talking at the local,
00:25:00.600 state, and national level.
00:25:01.860 They've also been giving your money
00:25:03.360 to organizations
00:25:04.440 that support abortion on demand
00:25:06.460 and are even paying for abortions.
00:25:08.920 That is why Patriot Mobile
00:25:10.700 was founded more than a decade ago.
00:25:12.500 by a group of conservatives,
00:25:14.420 Christians that said,
00:25:15.280 hey, we've got to have a cell phone,
00:25:17.060 but why do we have to give our mind
00:25:18.240 to people that are fighting
00:25:19.020 against what we believe in?
00:25:20.460 Well, in 2024,
00:25:21.920 it is easier now than ever
00:25:23.480 to make the switch.
00:25:24.700 And when you do make the switch
00:25:25.940 to Patriot Mobile,
00:25:27.060 you're going to get
00:25:27.780 the same nationwide coverage
00:25:29.060 as the big providers
00:25:30.060 because Patriot Mobile operates
00:25:31.820 on all three major networks.
00:25:34.340 Plus, they back their service
00:25:35.740 with a coverage guarantee.
00:25:37.220 Now, the best part is
00:25:39.140 when you pay your bill,
00:25:40.380 you're actually supporting
00:25:41.900 and fighting for your
00:25:43.020 First and Second Amendment rights,
00:25:44.640 the sanctity of life,
00:25:45.960 as well as standing
00:25:46.940 with our military,
00:25:48.000 our first responders,
00:25:49.140 and our wounded warriors.
00:25:50.820 Patriot Mobile takes about
00:25:51.920 5% of your bill every month
00:25:53.340 at no extra cost to you.
00:25:55.680 And they actually give it back
00:25:56.820 to these types of organizations
00:25:59.120 and causes that I just mentioned.
00:26:01.140 So make the switch.
00:26:02.500 You're going to have
00:26:02.900 a cell phone bill.
00:26:03.840 Why not make sure
00:26:05.020 you're making a difference
00:26:05.780 every month when you pay it?
00:26:07.340 Go to PatriotMobile.com
00:26:08.780 slash verdict.
00:26:09.680 That's PatriotMobile.com
00:26:11.620 slash verdict.

00:26:17.060 a free month

00:26:19.040 code VERDICT.
00:26:20.520 So join me.
00:26:21.680 Switch to America's only
00:26:22.880 Christian conservative
00:26:23.800 mobile provider,

00:26:27.300 or 972-PATRIOT

00:26:29.920 of service today.
00:26:31.340 All right.
00:26:31.700 So let's go to the border
00:26:33.340 and this might be
00:26:34.880 one of the biggest
00:26:35.740 just asinine
00:26:37.000 middle fingers
00:26:38.080 from this administration.
00:26:39.400 I don't know how
00:26:40.020 you want to categorize
00:26:41.120 this one.
00:26:41.940 But when I saw this report,
00:26:43.500 it actually made me angry.
00:26:45.420 And that is that
00:26:46.340 the Biden administration
00:26:47.380 is saying,
00:26:48.100 hey, we don't respect
00:26:49.020 the voters.
00:26:50.100 We do not respect
00:26:51.180 that the American people
00:26:52.960 decided we want security
00:26:54.400 at our southern border.
00:26:56.280 And what are they doing
00:26:57.360 to stick it to you?
00:26:58.420 They're saying,
00:26:59.020 all right, watch this.
00:26:59.960 We're going to sell pieces
00:27:01.160 of the border wall
00:27:02.100 that have not been erected yet
00:27:04.060 just to say screw you
00:27:05.420 to the American people.
00:27:07.040 You know, I wish
00:27:08.200 what you were saying
00:27:08.980 was hyperbole.
00:27:09.780 I wish it was an exaggeration,
00:27:11.420 but it's not.
00:27:12.480 The Daily Wire
00:27:13.320 broke this story
00:27:14.180 and it's an exclusive story
00:27:15.620 that is just,
00:27:16.640 it's stunning.
00:27:17.480 It's infuriating.
00:27:18.880 Here's the headline,
00:27:19.640 exclusive.
00:27:20.560 Biden races to sell off
00:27:21.960 border wall parts
00:27:23.020 before Trump takes office.
00:27:25.640 The goal is to move
00:27:26.980 all of it off the border
00:27:29.120 before Christmas,
00:27:30.700 an Arizona Border Patrol agent
00:27:32.360 tells the Daily Wire.
00:27:33.520 Let me read from this story.
00:27:35.260 The Biden administration
00:27:36.100 is using its final weeks
00:27:37.440 to haul a massive amount
00:27:38.940 of border wall materials
00:27:40.540 away from the southern border
00:27:42.340 to be sold off
00:27:43.260 at a government auction.
00:27:44.660 An apparent effort
00:27:45.580 to hinder President-elect
00:27:46.940 Trump's efforts
00:27:48.360 to secure the border,
00:27:49.440 the Daily Wire has learned.
00:27:51.120 Videos obtained exclusively
00:27:52.580 by the Daily Wire
00:27:53.500 from a U.S. Customs
00:27:54.580 and Border Patrol agent
00:27:55.520 show unused sections
00:27:57.280 of the wall
00:27:57.880 being hauled away
00:27:59.060 on the back
00:28:00.380 of flatbed trucks
00:28:02.000 from a section
00:28:02.860 of the border
00:28:03.420 just south of Tucson,
00:28:05.620 a hotspot
00:28:06.580 for illegal crossings
00:28:07.600 during the Biden administration.
00:28:09.660 The agent estimates
00:28:10.680 that up to a half mile
00:28:12.680 per day
00:28:13.580 of unused border wall
00:28:15.760 is being moved.
00:28:16.780 This is not a small amount.
00:28:17.740 This is a massive amount.
00:28:19.380 Continuing the quote,
00:28:20.700 quote,
00:28:21.580 they are taking it
00:28:22.540 from three stations,
00:28:23.900 Nogales, Tucson,
00:28:25.080 and Three Points,
00:28:25.780 the Border Patrol agent
00:28:26.700 who was granted anonymity
00:28:28.140 to speak freely
00:28:28.800 told the Daily Wire.
00:28:30.040 The goal is to move it
00:28:31.580 all off the border
00:28:32.600 before Christmas.
00:28:34.200 And here's something.
00:28:35.640 If that doesn't make you furious,
00:28:39.240 listen to this.
00:28:42.040 The auction website
00:28:43.660 shows that sales occurred
00:28:46.580 as recently as December 4th
00:28:48.480 for precisely the types
00:28:50.060 of materials
00:28:50.540 being pulled off the border.
00:28:53.760 GovPlanet has online auctions
00:28:55.480 set for December 11th
00:28:56.700 and December 18th
00:28:57.800 for more border wall material,
00:28:59.880 which is listed
00:29:00.360 on the company's website
00:29:01.440 as, quote,
00:29:02.840 32.91 feet
00:29:05.420 by 7.91 feet
00:29:07.460 steel bollard wall sections
00:29:09.240 with grout.
00:29:10.260 The bidding
00:29:11.240 for each section
00:29:13.280 of wall panels
00:29:14.220 is set to begin
00:29:16.380 at $5,
00:29:18.800 according to the website.
00:29:20.980 Wow.
00:29:21.080 And this article
00:29:22.680 has multiple screenshots
00:29:24.520 showing these being sold
00:29:27.120 for $5 a piece.
00:29:29.100 I got to say,
00:29:30.960 we talked in the first segment
00:29:33.320 about the arrogance
00:29:34.880 and unaccountability
00:29:36.240 of the Biden Justice Department
00:29:37.600 and the Biden FBI.
00:29:39.080 This is, at the end of the day,
00:29:40.540 that identical arrogance,
00:29:42.020 and it's an arrogance
00:29:42.640 of Joe Biden,
00:29:43.920 of Kamala Harris,
00:29:45.240 of Alejandro Mayorkas,
00:29:46.520 of Merrick Garland,
00:29:47.740 and let's be clear,
00:29:49.080 of Chuck Schumer
00:29:50.580 and the Senate Democrats
00:29:51.600 and Congressional Democrats.
00:29:53.320 Every person in America
00:29:54.700 knows that the voters
00:29:55.980 of America
00:29:56.580 voted to secure the border.
00:29:58.000 They want that to happen.
00:29:59.560 And you know what
00:30:00.180 the Democrats are saying
00:30:01.080 on the way out?
00:30:02.220 Screw you.
00:30:03.180 We don't care.
00:30:04.400 We don't care about the voters.
00:30:06.160 And what we're going to do,
00:30:07.160 if Trump's going to build
00:30:07.880 the border wall,
00:30:08.920 we're going to make it
00:30:09.860 that much more expensive
00:30:11.120 because we are so
00:30:12.840 bitterly ideological
00:30:14.700 that we will openly defy
00:30:18.180 the will of the voters.
00:30:19.480 And let's just be honest
00:30:21.080 about the logic
00:30:21.900 if you're just talking
00:30:22.820 about the logical math
00:30:26.920 that you do here.
00:30:28.320 There's no doubt
00:30:29.280 that the Biden administration
00:30:30.740 knows that this wall
00:30:32.100 will be used.
00:30:33.200 And if they do sell it all off
00:30:34.560 before Christmas
00:30:35.300 at $5 a panel,
00:30:37.360 that this is going to have
00:30:39.320 to be repurchased
00:30:40.200 at a much higher price
00:30:41.860 because they just sold
00:30:43.320 what we had purchased before
00:30:44.440 that has not been used.
00:30:45.840 And it will be used
00:30:47.480 and it will be done.
00:30:48.640 So this is just trying
00:30:50.540 to make the American taxpayer
00:30:53.180 suffer a little bit
00:30:54.820 and to say,
00:30:56.240 we can't stand you
00:30:57.520 and what you guys
00:30:58.260 just voted for.
00:30:59.560 This is a retribution
00:31:01.500 for you voting them
00:31:03.140 out of office
00:31:03.920 and their way of sticking it
00:31:05.280 to the American voter
00:31:06.360 and taxpayer.
00:31:07.660 Well, that's right.
00:31:08.600 Now, I will say
00:31:09.280 there's an aspect
00:31:09.920 of this story
00:31:10.700 that broke tonight.
00:31:11.960 You and I are recording
00:31:12.740 this very late at night.
00:31:14.140 It's 1257
00:31:15.080 in the morning,
00:31:16.680 Thursday night.
00:31:18.340 And just this evening,
00:31:20.560 the lieutenant governor
00:31:21.240 of Texas, Dan Patrick,
00:31:22.480 a good friend of mine,
00:31:23.940 went on Laura Ingram's show
00:31:25.600 and he said
00:31:26.760 the state of Texas
00:31:27.720 is preparing
00:31:29.160 to buy up
00:31:30.140 the border wall segments
00:31:31.360 from the Biden administration
00:31:32.680 that they're selling
00:31:33.300 for five bucks a piece
00:31:34.320 and then donate them back
00:31:36.560 to the Trump administration.
00:31:38.180 And Dan Patrick says
00:31:39.160 he has up to a billion dollars
00:31:41.000 of state funds
00:31:42.140 to work with.
00:31:42.760 I want you to listen
00:31:43.500 to Dan Patrick
00:31:44.340 this evening
00:31:45.420 on Laura Ingram
00:31:46.220 laying this out.
00:31:47.700 We mean business
00:31:48.940 in Texas
00:31:49.860 and Tom Homan
00:31:50.780 means business
00:31:51.800 and President Trump
00:31:52.640 means business.
00:31:53.620 And I don't know
00:31:53.980 if you heard
00:31:54.300 the latest today,
00:31:55.440 Laura,
00:31:55.860 but Joe Biden
00:31:57.060 is now hauling off
00:31:58.360 the border wall
00:31:59.360 that's been lying down
00:32:00.320 for years
00:32:00.960 and he wants
00:32:01.820 to auction it off
00:32:03.040 starting at five dollars
00:32:04.220 a piece.
00:32:05.140 Message to the White House
00:32:06.160 right now.
00:32:06.980 I will bid
00:32:08.420 on all of that wall
00:32:09.800 and we will buy it
00:32:10.840 in Texas
00:32:11.320 and we will give it
00:32:12.240 to Donald Trump.
00:32:13.720 So I'm going to find out
00:32:14.780 first thing in the morning
00:32:15.840 where are we going
00:32:16.560 to take the bid.
00:32:17.780 I've got a billion dollars
00:32:19.260 in my pocket
00:32:20.060 to do it.
00:32:20.760 I write the budget
00:32:21.700 with Senator Joan Huffman.
00:32:23.020 We have the money.
00:32:23.920 We're going to have
00:32:24.420 about six billion
00:32:25.320 in our budget
00:32:25.920 for border security.
00:32:26.740 Dan, don't drive up the cost.
00:32:28.180 Don't drive up the cost.
00:32:29.420 The first bid
00:32:30.120 is only five bucks
00:32:31.200 a piece of the wall.
00:32:33.880 And I will go in
00:32:34.620 and buy it all.
00:32:36.120 I'm not going to drive up.
00:32:36.720 But what does that tell you?
00:32:37.600 Yeah, well,
00:32:37.920 what does this tell you
00:32:38.620 about the Biden people?
00:32:40.180 It tells you
00:32:40.580 they're essentially
00:32:41.800 greenlighting.
00:32:42.640 They want more people
00:32:43.320 coming in.
00:32:44.900 They're despicable
00:32:45.860 what they're doing
00:32:46.460 to the American people
00:32:47.380 and the American people
00:32:48.600 obviously aren't going
00:32:49.460 to tolerate it.
00:32:50.020 That's why they were
00:32:50.620 thrown out.
00:32:51.640 But the idea
00:32:52.440 we've been trying
00:32:53.100 to buy this wall
00:32:53.780 from them for four years
00:32:56.200 and they wouldn't
00:32:56.740 sell it to us.
00:32:57.620 And you know what?
00:32:58.220 I'm going to check in
00:32:58.920 with our Department
00:32:59.500 of Public Safety.
00:33:00.600 Maybe we need to start
00:33:01.460 pulling over these trucks
00:33:02.480 to be sure they don't have
00:33:03.260 too much weight
00:33:03.900 on those trucks.
00:33:04.540 Maybe these trucks
00:33:05.400 need to be slowed down.
00:33:07.000 We need to do everything
00:33:08.040 we can in Texas
00:33:09.480 to stop them.
00:33:10.860 The taxpayers paid for this
00:33:12.280 and they want to stop
00:33:13.880 President Trump
00:33:15.240 in 38 or 39 days
00:33:17.220 from rebuilding the wall.
00:33:18.540 I want to...
00:33:19.380 This is the legacy
00:33:20.100 of Joe Biden.
00:33:21.360 He lets off his son.
00:33:23.320 He's letting off
00:33:24.160 all these criminals.
00:33:25.160 He's doing everything
00:33:26.080 he can with these
00:33:27.040 blue state governors
00:33:27.820 and mayors
00:33:28.420 to destroy this country.
00:33:30.380 They are traitors
00:33:31.360 to this country
00:33:32.480 leaving terrorists,
00:33:34.200 leaving murderers,
00:33:35.100 leaving rapists
00:33:35.800 in this country
00:33:36.400 and now he wants
00:33:37.900 to sabotage this president
00:33:39.180 before he takes off.
00:33:40.260 It is disgraceful
00:33:41.260 and disgusting.
00:33:42.200 He will go down
00:33:42.900 as the worst,
00:33:43.840 most despicable president
00:33:45.060 in the history
00:33:45.640 of this country
00:33:46.260 because no one
00:33:47.300 has done more
00:33:48.060 to damage this country
00:33:49.380 and hurt American citizens.
00:33:50.760 I would agree
00:33:51.520 with you on that.
00:33:52.780 I think the point
00:33:53.700 he's making here
00:33:54.440 is absolutely right.
00:33:55.380 But we're...
00:33:56.000 Even if it's $5,
00:33:57.400 you're double paying
00:33:58.220 for something
00:33:58.660 that we've already
00:33:59.140 paid for
00:33:59.680 and it's just solely
00:34:01.120 out of spite.
00:34:02.640 Well, and let me say
00:34:03.800 number one,
00:34:05.700 thank God for Texas.
00:34:06.960 Thank God for Texas
00:34:08.020 stepping up
00:34:08.880 and leading.
00:34:10.180 Dan, I'm glad
00:34:11.200 you're doing that
00:34:11.780 but I've got to say also,
00:34:13.840 listen,
00:34:14.920 I'm going to call
00:34:16.140 on the incoming administration
00:34:17.940 to investigate
00:34:20.280 whoever made the decision
00:34:23.300 to do this
00:34:23.920 and let me be clear.
00:34:25.800 Let's say you're
00:34:26.760 a government official, Ben.
00:34:28.660 and you're pissed off
00:34:30.280 at the people
00:34:31.880 who are coming in
00:34:32.680 after you.
00:34:33.320 You're mad at the voters
00:34:34.320 because they elected
00:34:34.940 someone different
00:34:35.660 and let's say,
00:34:37.040 for example,
00:34:38.440 that you're running
00:34:40.060 a police department.
00:34:41.440 Your dad's a cop.
00:34:42.200 You're running
00:34:42.480 a police department
00:34:43.080 and you've got
00:34:44.600 a bunch of police cars
00:34:46.040 that let's say
00:34:46.860 were $40,000 apiece
00:34:48.420 and you're mad
00:34:50.260 because there's a new sheriff
00:34:51.240 that's been elected
00:34:52.020 and so you decide
00:34:53.080 to take the $40,000
00:34:54.320 police cars,
00:34:55.120 let's say you've got
00:34:55.580 10 of them,
00:34:56.760 and you go out
00:34:57.560 and say I'm going
00:34:58.020 to auction
00:34:58.500 the $40,000
00:34:59.360 police cars off
00:35:00.400 for $5 apiece
00:35:01.360 because you want
00:35:03.280 your successor
00:35:03.920 not to have
00:35:04.420 any police cars
00:35:05.140 and so you sell
00:35:06.720 $40,000 police cars
00:35:08.120 for $5 apiece.
00:35:09.580 I'm going to tell you
00:35:10.440 right now
00:35:11.080 that is theft
00:35:12.120 from the taxpayers.
00:35:13.720 The idea,
00:35:14.380 I guarantee you
00:35:15.240 those segments
00:35:15.860 of the wall,
00:35:16.860 they don't cost $5,
00:35:18.320 they don't cost $50,
00:35:19.440 they don't cost $500,
00:35:20.720 they don't cost $5,000.
00:35:22.220 And I've got to say
00:35:24.820 it is grotesque
00:35:26.360 and I am calling
00:35:28.700 right now
00:35:29.580 for the incoming
00:35:30.680 administration
00:35:31.300 to investigate
00:35:32.380 every person
00:35:33.720 that made the decision
00:35:35.000 to steal
00:35:36.320 from the American
00:35:37.300 taxpayers
00:35:38.080 because they are
00:35:39.100 such bitter partisans
00:35:40.880 that they want
00:35:42.760 to deprive
00:35:43.900 the federal government
00:35:45.260 of assets
00:35:46.140 that the taxpayers
00:35:47.040 paid for.
00:35:47.900 You don't have
00:35:48.420 the right to do that,
00:35:49.260 it doesn't matter,
00:35:50.040 nobody has the right
00:35:51.620 to steal
00:35:52.260 from the federal government
00:35:53.280 if you're selling
00:35:54.020 segments of this wall
00:35:55.560 for $5 apiece,
00:35:57.180 that in my view
00:35:58.380 is absolute theft.
00:35:59.960 Yeah,
00:36:00.260 I couldn't agree
00:36:00.860 with you more.
00:36:01.800 Don't forget to share
