| Thank you. | |
| Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Triggered. | |
| I hope you're off to a smooth start this year. | |
| There's so much going on. | |
| We're going to be hitting the ground running on the show in 2025. Expect more big breaking investigations, major breaking news coverage, and so much more. | |
| And of course, I'm reading through the comments. | |
| It's clear you all know what today is. | |
| Today... | |
| We'll be joined by the chair of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, who just released yet another major investigation into the January 6th pipe bomb cover-up. | |
| This has always been a big one. | |
| We're going to have Congressman Loudermilk talking about the details of that report. | |
| We'll have Darren Beattie, who was the person who broke the story originally. | |
| I understand that January 6th, we've been told... | |
| Was a major insurrection, the first unarmed insurrection in the history of the world, actually. | |
| It's very impressive that a group of unarmed people were able to insurrect so much, it's absolutely laughable. | |
| And yet, when there's an actual pipe bomb in front of the RNC and the DNC, that story magically disappears. | |
| So guys, make sure you're liking, sharing, and subscribing so you never miss one of these major episodes. | |
| Remember that you can get the show on Apple. | |
| You can get it on Spotify if you miss it here on Rumble. | |
| If you have friends that get their podcasts that way, let them know it because we need all of you to keep this out there and combat the ongoing saga in the fake news. | |
| For all of the top headlines that we'll cover here on the show, check out my news app, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without... | |
| And we'll get into all of the top news in just a moment. | |
| But don't forget to first check out our brave sponsors, people who have the guts to support a show like this. | |
| Guys, prepare for the future and diversify your savings with the Birch Gold Group. | |
| Look, in the new year, with my father back in office, you're going to have more money in your paycheck. | |
| And that means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the years and the decades ahead. | |
| One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold. | |
| For over 20 years, Birch Girl Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold. | |
| To learn more, text Don Jr., my name, D-O-N-J-R, text that to the number 989898 and claim your free, no obligation info kit on gold. | |
| What do you have to lose? | |
| It's free. | |
| Check it out. | |
| Educate yourself. | |
| So again, text Don Jr. to the number 989898. And now, let's get into some of the top headlines, guys. | |
| Now, for four years that have passed since the mysterious pipe bombs were placed at the RNC and DNC. Four years ago. | |
| Four years today. | |
| Strange. | |
| Never made much news other than people actually talking about the insanity of all of that that was going on. | |
| Now, all of a sudden... | |
| The outgoing FBI brass has decided to re-engage in the investigation. | |
| I mean, think about that. | |
| Huh. | |
| They literally tried to assassinate people at the RNC and the DNC, and I don't know, it's not really a big deal, right? | |
| It's almost like it was a backup plan to, maybe if they couldn't create a story out of what they did with the rest of January 6th. | |
| But they've decided to re-engage in the investigation. | |
| On the same day, the very damning House subcommittee report on the matter was released. | |
| Because just days ago, the FBI stumbled upon some new pipe bomb footage from January 6th and apparently decided to release it. | |
| Imagine that. | |
| New footage. | |
| Four years later. | |
| Magically, now we come into it. | |
| Darren Beatty, who will be on the show later, we've talked about that before. | |
| It was magic. | |
| The security cam footage at some of the most guarded places in the world on one of the most important days in American history. | |
| It was really low resolution, like 1970s video camera style resolution, almost as if they didn't want people to actually be able to find any more. | |
| And as you can see on your screen, the new footage shows this mysterious, shadowy figure in pretty much plain sight. | |
| Huh. | |
| Why'd it take four years? | |
| Why would the FBI, out of nowhere, suddenly and magically, just magically find new footage? | |
| How would they suddenly be so eager to release it? | |
| Is it because they know that in just two weeks we're going to take the next steps at getting to the bottom of all of this? | |
| Because if there's one thing that's for sure, it's that there is still so much more to be uncovered. | |
| Now remember, guys, the FBI had no suspects on these pipe bombs. | |
| They falsely claimed that the telecom data was corrupted. | |
| You know, of course they were, just like the... | |
| Telecom data and the text messages of all the people in the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. | |
| All the government people that were probably coordinating to set us up. | |
| That too. | |
| All magically. | |
| Everyone lost their phones. | |
| It's incredible, folks. | |
| That kind of coincidence. | |
| Like, I don't know that I've ever lost a phone. | |
| They all, like 36 people, magically lost their phone. | |
| And Pelosi and Cheney's fake J6 committee failed to report on their own many security failures during their sham investigation. | |
| Now, this Newhouse report from Congressman Barry Loudermilk surrounding the pipe bomb reveals that a once very rigorous FBI investigation into the matter abruptly stopped in early 2021. Don't forget, this happened in early 2021. Again, a pipe bomb that was then around the vice president-elect, around the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, their main offices. | |
| Around the RNC? Just, ah, no big deal. | |
| You know, I guess it was mostly peaceful terrorism, folks. | |
| I mean, what were the headlines then? | |
| I don't know. | |
| They just sort of never materialized. | |
| And there's been nothing done and nothing but stonewalling ever since. | |
| Hmm. | |
| I wonder why that was. | |
| So just ask yourself a very simple question. | |
| If this pipe bomber actually existed and remained at large, why would the FBI not be willing to use their vast and extensive surveillance resources that they've used to hunt down and imprison nonviolent January 6 protesters? | |
| Do you think if someone was literally trying to bomb the RNC, the DNC right there, you'd think that would be a little bit, I don't know, worse than like a grandma taking a selfie inside the velvet ropes in the Capitol building? | |
| I mean, that's just me. | |
| Maybe it's because I'm not insane and I'm not a moron. | |
| But who knows? | |
| Maybe I'm just unusual. | |
| Why would the pipe bomber be the one that you'd go soft on, on all of the people that have had their rights violated, that have been falsely imprisoned, that have been withheld of their due process and their basic rights? | |
| Why would you go soft on the pipe bomber? | |
| I guess, who knows? | |
| Same Biden administration that... | |
| It's letting out murderers and pedophiles and allowed 16,000 rapists to come into the country, allowed 13,000 illegal murderers into the country, 600,000 criminals. | |
| I guess these are the people the Democrats and the Democratic Party really love in America. | |
| So we'll get into all of this and much more later in this show. | |
| So you may want to stick around. | |
| It's going to be a lot of ground to cover. | |
| But also today, my father's electoral landslide. | |
| was officially certified by Congress and none other than Kamala Harris got to do the honors, which is sort of amazing. | |
| It couldn't have happened to a better person. | |
| It's actually perfect. | |
| Check this out. | |
| Announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected president and vice president of the United States. | |
| Each for a term beginning on the 20th day of January 2025 and shall be entered together with the list of the votes on the journals of the House and the Senate. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| Oh, I sort of feel like playing that one again. | |
| It feels so good. | |
| Although I don't know if I can hear that cackling voice perhaps ever again. | |
| So hopefully we don't, but that's sort of amazing. | |
| You can't make it up. | |
| It's almost too perfect. | |
| And this is just the preamble to January 20th in a mere two weeks. | |
| And guys, shockingly, with Inauguration Day fast approaching, the regime media is deciding to finally admit, finally, That they've been saying for the last four years is 100% true, including about the Biden bloodbath at the border. | |
| It's hard to believe. | |
| They're finally admitting that everything we've talked about, every conspiracy theory, alleged conspiracy theory, every obvious failure, huh, is 100% true. | |
| You can't make it up. | |
| It was not Biden's finest moment, frankly. | |
| You can see what happened here. | |
| And Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings were quite low. | |
| They were running about 74,000 a month when he left office. | |
| And they, in fact, did shoot up. | |
| Some of it was some things Biden said and some ways that they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations. | |
| But, in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000. | |
| Wow. | |
| Now one foreigner. | |
| who may be rushing to seek asylum before my father officially takes office, comes from our friends to the North. | |
| As Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, is basically being run out of Parliament and stepping down as Prime Minister of the Liberal Party. | |
| And he can barely hold back his tears. | |
| I've also had a chance to reflect and have had long talks with my family about our future. | |
| Throughout the course of my career, any success I have personally achieved has been because of their support and with their encouragement. | |
| So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today. | |
| I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust Now, Trudeau is the same one who basically called truckers terrorists for honking their horns and not wanting a vaccine. | |
| He debanked them, deplatformed them, I think jailed some of them. | |
| I mean, that was an entirely peaceful protest, but it didn't matter because he's a dictator and he functions accordingly. | |
| And now, even liberal Canadians have had enough of him. | |
| He took... | |
| Woke to a whole new level of wacky and absolute insanity. | |
| And here's just a small sample of that. | |
| I apologize for standing up for an LGBTQ2+ kids' rights. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| You know, if you're going to have an acronym and you're going to go all in on some of this woke garbage, you know, you think you'd at least remember it, right? | |
| Like, I don't know. | |
| It's absolutely nuts. | |
| It never ends. | |
| But it's great to see that he's gone because he did so much to really hurt freedoms to our great neighbors to the north. | |
| And if you've been wondering what Biden is actually doing in his last days in office, we have now found our answer. | |
| He's giving presidential medals of freedom to folks like Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and even Mitt Romney's dad for their heroism in promoting democracy abroad. | |
| You can't make it up. | |
| I mean, if it was a presidential medal of tyranny, of totalitarianism, I think Hillary Clinton and George Soros would be perfect. | |
| A presidential medal of chaos in our cities and at our border, they'd be deserving. | |
| of those awards. | |
| But that's not what it is. | |
| So hopefully we can all laugh at the absurdity of it all. | |
| But lastly, and before we get to the congressman, 10 people were injured in a Queens nightclub last week. | |
| So what did corrupt, failing state AG Letitia James have to say about it? | |
| She says we need, and I quote, common sense gun regulations in this nation to help end senseless gun violence. | |
| Now, It's interesting. | |
| I love the community notes on X because they came back in for a reality check. | |
| I tweeted about it myself, writing, quote, New York State does, in fact, have some of the most stringent gun laws in the nation, but criminals willing to commit murder don't care about their gun laws. | |
| If you look at New York City, it may have the most stringent gun laws in the entire country. | |
| Okay? | |
| That's how bad it is. | |
| New York State is bad. | |
| New York City is an entirely different thing. | |
| But the left would rather embolden violent lunatics than let you have the ability to defend yourself from harm. | |
| It's a big part of why, you know, again, when I push the parallel economy and do these things, I don't just talk about it. | |
| We actually do that. | |
| Me and my friend and partner Omid Malik, we're taking Grab a Gun, a great online retailer with an incredible tech stack. | |
| We're taking them public in a SPAC merger under... | |
| The ticker CLBR if you guys want to check it out. | |
| Again, check it out. | |
| Learn about it. | |
| But we literally announced that today on Mornings with Maria on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox Business. | |
| As I promised, I don't just yell at a screen on here. | |
| We're actually doing these things to fight for the freedoms that have been so grossly under attack for the last few years. | |
| So check out Grab a Gun. | |
| Check out CLBR. Again, I don't want to, you know, get an SEC investigation or whatever it is. | |
| So I'm going to say, hey, do your own research. | |
| Don't listen to anything I say, yada, yada, yada. | |
| You know me. | |
| I'm just going to get thrown in jail. | |
| But... | |
| It's a big one. | |
| Yeah, we've had a big week because as a last couple of points of clarification, no, I am not buying Greenland. | |
| Funny enough, I'm actually going on a very long personal day trip to Greenland tomorrow. | |
| I'll be jumping on Trump Force One at about... | |
| You know, 2 a.m., landing in Greenland tomorrow morning over there, checking it out. | |
| It's a place I've always wanted to visit. | |
| I'll be going over there with my good friend Charlie Kirk. | |
| We'll be talking to people, just checking out. | |
| So I'm going as a tourist, but apparently someone leaked that, so it made all sorts of news, so I figured I'd address it here. | |
| No meetings with government officials, none of that, but I do love Greenland. | |
| I was supposed to actually go there last March on a muskox hunt. | |
| Couldn't pull it off because it took I'll maybe even take a few videos that you may get to see on this very show. | |
| Maybe we'll do a show earlier on Wednesday or something like that, because by the time Thursday rolls around, I'm sure everyone else will be kidding and get ahead of us. | |
| So we'll have some fun with that one. | |
| I forgot, guys. | |
| I know we've discussed this many times. | |
| I also admit that I continue to not be the upstanding citizen that Hunter Biden is. | |
| I continue to do this. | |
| I do on occasion use a little bit of Zin, which was apparently now a scandal. | |
| I made the Daily Bill and I made all sorts of other news publications because I did some s'mores while playing board games with my children over the Christmas week. | |
| A little tin on this on the table. | |
| It was closed. | |
| No, my 10-year-old daughter, Chloe, was not doing Zen. | |
| I'm a 47-year-old man. | |
| If I do this occasionally, not the end of the world, but everyone seemed to be blowing me up. | |
| I guess I'm the worst human being in my life. | |
| Now, if I was Hunter Biden and it was a crack pipe, it would be fine. | |
| That's different. | |
| It was either a really slow news days or just, I guess, if you're Donald Trump Jr., even if I'm right, Nothing I do can be right, according to the news and the media. | |
| So I apologize to all of the—honestly, I should be apologizing to myself for only using threes. | |
| You know, I don't go that hard. | |
| I feel like I probably have to revoke my man card for that. | |
| You know, I was finishing off this, you know, last tin of this before I got to switch over to Alps, you know, Tucker's brand. | |
| But, you know, I'm using threes. | |
| So that in and of itself should be a sin. | |
| Honestly, threes should be legal for people under the age of 18 because it's that weak. | |
| But, you know, it's one of these things. | |
| If my daughter was doing threes, it's like, is it the end of the world? | |
| Like, I'm kidding. | |
| I'm kidding because I know that will generate another entirely, you know, terrible news story. | |
| But, I mean, think of this. | |
| I'm literally making s'mores over a fireplace. | |
| It's an indoor fireplace, but who cares? | |
| We're doing it. | |
| I'm sitting there with my kids. | |
| We're playing board games. | |
| They have these huge smiles on their faces, and there just happens to be a tin, like, closed on the table. | |
| It's not like they're trying to get into it. | |
| It's not like they're actually using that. | |
| And if you read some of the commentary, I am one of the most terrible human beings ever in the world. | |
| So I am used to that. | |
| Again, I'm going to punish myself, not because I did it, but because I'm using threes. | |
| You know, maybe one of these days I'll man up and, you know, get into the sixes. | |
| Some of my friends are double-bagging sixes for a total of 12, which is pretty aggressive. | |
| I'm not that into it, but I figured it's better than smoking a cigar, especially around my kids. | |
| I grew up in a time where people used to smoke on airplanes next to me. | |
| So, I don't know. | |
| Maybe we're just getting too soft. | |
| Maybe everything isn't worthy of a story. | |
| And maybe everything that I do is even less worthy of a story than that. | |
| So, who knows? | |
| We'll see what happens. | |
| Anyway, I digress, and of course, we have so much more important stuff to cover. | |
| And before we get to that, I want to bring in Georgia Congressman Barry Loudermilk, who just released yet another report into the events surrounding January 6th. | |
| Congressman, are you there? | |
| I'm here. | |
| It's great to be with you. | |
| I wasn't seeing you on the screen because I had the live chat up, but great to have you there. | |
| I really, really appreciate it. | |
| Hope you had a great holiday, New Year, Christmas, etc. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Got out of this town for a couple of weeks. | |
| It's always good when you can do that. | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| People are, Don, are you going to go to D.C.? I'm like, you couldn't pay me to go to D.C. I've done my thing. | |
| I've campaigned for nine years straight. | |
| We've worked on the transition. | |
| Come January 20th, I'm out. | |
| I'm out. | |
| So, God bless you for staying in there. | |
| It's not for everyone. | |
| It's not. | |
| And, you know, it's a knives-out city. | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| Especially if you're trying to do the right thing. | |
| That part, I don't actually mind. | |
| That part, I feel like I'm relatively good at. | |
| It's like the whole day job part that I'm not so... | |
| That wouldn't be for me. | |
| So, we'll see. | |
| But you released, Congressman. | |
| Several major reports on the events surrounding January 6th, and I figured on the four-year anniversary that we should get into the details. | |
| But you've also gotten into the investigation into the politicization of the sham January 6th Unselect Committee. | |
| You know, what are your latest takeaways? | |
| And most critical recommendations, because these are things that people should really understand. | |
| It seems insane to me. | |
| I don't know if you heard my full intro, but that the FBI, you know, that one guy that they didn't bother to look into was the guy that left bombs in front of the RNC and the DNC. I mean, if you were a grandmother inside the velvet ropes, you went to jail for four years without due process. | |
| But the bomber, I guess they were mostly peaceful bombers. | |
| It seems the whole thing seems nuts to me. | |
| Well, it is. | |
| And as I started this investigation, when then Speaker Kevin McCarthy asked me to take it on, I said, look, I'd be glad to do this and I'll do it under a couple of conditions. | |
| One, you give me the resources to do a real investigation. | |
| And two, that I'm free to get to the truth, whatever it is, and then make it transparent. | |
| And so we spent two years digging into the truth. | |
| And as you're aware and others, a lot of the documentation was not kept. | |
| It was hidden. | |
| Some of it was destroyed. | |
| So it took a lot of work getting some of the information. | |
| But one of the more intriguing aspects was the pipe bomb investigation. | |
| And we started early on looking into it. | |
| And we started realizing what an utter failure the entire investigation was from the beginning. | |
| As you're seeing right there, we have video evidence of the guy or girl, whoever it is, placing the pipe bomb. | |
| And it was placed to be found. | |
| Well, the next day, as then Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris was going to the DCCC, the Secret Service came by and did an advance detail. | |
| And I know you're very familiar with the advance, but before the principal arrives, the Secret Service is going to go sweep the building for anything, whether it's a bomb or snipers or anything dangerous that could be a threat. | |
| Well, Secret Service walks by this device twice. | |
| By the way, with the dog, if I'm correct, right? | |
| And with the dog as well. | |
| And I've gone to their training program. | |
| I've watched those dogs work. | |
| Like, some of the finest dogs I've ever seen. | |
| I mean, I could tell the whole story, but it would take 15 minutes. | |
| I mean, I even got in the bite suit for the attack dogs. | |
| But the bomb-sniffing dogs don't miss an actual pipe bomb under a bench when they're three inches away from it. | |
| That doesn't happen. | |
| It's impossible. | |
| The only thing that we were told by an expert is that the dog won't alert unless the handler points to something for him to look at. | |
| Now, I'm not a dog expert, but either way, the pipe bomb was left to be found in a position where someone would see it, but the Secret Service agent walks by it twice without seeing it. | |
| I mean, that's an issue right there, which... | |
| Then we started realizing we may have some issues with Secret Service, maybe not as proficient as they used to be. | |
| And then when the assassination attempt on your dad happened on July 13th, I immediately started putting... | |
| Pointing back to our research that we were doing in the Secret Service on the pipe bomb, I said, look, they were getting sloppy back then. | |
| And so that was just one of the elements of what happened. | |
| happened. | |
| We had instance of no one taking control of the scene, either at the RNC or DNC, pedestrians literally walking feet and sometimes inches from the bombs. | |
| And even the Speaker of the House, when she was being evacuated, they drive her right through the active bomb scene. | |
| And so it was a complete failure all the way around regarding the bomb and the follow on investigation. | |
| Yeah, no, I mean, it doesn't make sense to You know, when I go to Mar-a-Lago, I get my car sweeped each and every time I go in. | |
| Sometimes that's two or three times a day. | |
| Uh, the handler literally goes, you know, bring, walks a dog around, make sure there's no sweat. | |
| He's not pointing to anything. | |
| He walks it around. | |
| If he's in the vicinity, they do that. | |
| That's what I've witnessed with my own eyes. | |
| So I imagine someone's lying to you, but at this point, none of that would even surprise me. | |
| Right. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| And one thing I've learned in this city, trust no one. | |
| And if you want a friend, get a dog. | |
| You know, they're going to be the most loyal. | |
| But there are several things that kept building on this as just did not make sense. | |
| And one of those was why did all of a sudden there was a lot of effort by the FBI put in trying to identify who this pipe bomber was? | |
| As we started looking into videos that we had access to, U.S. Capitol Police videos, we started realizing, wait, we have some video footage that we've never seen the FBI have before, and of a car that actually had the person that met the description driving the route of where the pipe bombs were left. | |
| We also started looking into, all right, How far did the FBI take this investigation? | |
| Well, they get to a certain point. | |
| They get a lot of leads. | |
| Then, all of a sudden, they pull the resources off of the pipe bomb investigation and then position those resources to investigate the grandmas that go behind the velvet ropes, as you put it. | |
| So they pulled their resources off of a seemingly significant threat. | |
| Over to start prosecuting people who went into the Capitol, or in some cases, who were around the Capitol. | |
| So we dug deeper into their intelligence and found out that the FBI claimed one of the reasons they pulled their resources off is they hit a dead end. | |
| They couldn't go any further because they believed that the identity of the pipe bomber existed in some cell phone data that they received from one of the cell phone carriers that was corrupted. | |
| They had asked all three major cell phone carriers to provide data from January 5th and 6th, which they said they did, but one of the carrier's data was corrupted and that happened to be the carrier that the Pipe Bomber's cell phone data was on. | |
| So we pushed that a little bit further. | |
| Contacted the cell carriers ourselves. | |
| All three of them said they did provide data. | |
| And all three of them said that the FBI never came back and asked for data, nor told them it was corrupted. | |
| So we pushed on the FBI and they said, well, so much time had lapsed that the carrier would no longer have the data. | |
| So we asked the carriers, do you still have the data from those days? | |
| And they said, yes, absolutely. | |
| In fact, one of them said, we still have the data from the Oklahoma City bombing. | |
| We keep data on significant events forever. | |
| And so there we're finding out now that the... | |
| The FBI was lying to my committee as well as the select committee. | |
| So listen, you've made it clear, you know, four years have passed. | |
| Clearly a lot of lapses in judgment. | |
| These are major things, frankly. | |
| You know, I've watched people that have been in jail for four years for taking a selfie inside the velvet ropes. | |
| I think a pipe bomb merits a little bit more focus. | |
| But now, magically, after dropping this thing basically years ago, all of these things, now the FBI decides to reengage in the investigation on the day your report is released. | |
| What sort of wake-up call is that for the 199th Congress? | |
| Well, that was a wake-up call, definitely. | |
| I mean, I was even surprised to see that all of a sudden, literally within hours, Of us releasing this report, the FBI comes out with three new tweets of video footage no one's seen before, asking people to help them identify who the bomber is. | |
| I mean, you can't make this stuff up. | |
| And so that was surprising to me, but I think the FBI is realizing there's a new sheriff coming to town. | |
| They need to straighten up and start walking a line and that they majorly screwed up in this investigation. | |
| That's what I take out of it. | |
| I can't wait till January 20th and 21st to where hopefully we can get even more information about what happened. | |
| But I think what you're seeing is a combination of us. | |
| Getting the truth out to the American people and the realization that there's new leadership coming to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who really, really wants to clean up the government because we have to restore a government that the people can be proud of, but right now they have a government that they're scared of. | |
| And that's not right. | |
| That doesn't equate to freedom. | |
| No. | |
| You know, again, I mean, I think a lot of people are hoping for accountability. | |
| You know, if the FBI, you know, as someone who's done 50 hours of congressional testimony with some of your colleagues, you know, I imagine that if I lied to them, I'd be in jail right now. | |
| But if the FBI is lying to them, there doesn't seem to be any accountability. | |
| So, you know, what are the next steps for your subcommittee and for the entire GOP Congress? | |
| On getting to the bottom of this once and for all, I mean, will there be accountability as there would be for anyone else that perjured themselves before Congress? | |
| Yeah, there will be now. | |
| One of the issues going into this is as we started uncovering a lot of the lies, an illustration is in the select committee's report that they were supposed to be actually focused on the security failures at the Capitol. | |
| They mentioned your dad's name 1,900 times. | |
| They mentioned Pipebomb. | |
| About five times just in passing. | |
| So that just illustrates how this was a political witch hunt to legislatively convict your father. | |
| And so as we started looking at it, it was like, we've got to really get to the truth of what's going on here. | |
| We find out through video footage that we were able to acquire. | |
| Nancy Pelosi actually does admit it was her failure to secure the Capitol. | |
| We also uncovered that the Pentagon ignored the orders of your dad to have the National Guard ready for deployment, and they purposely delayed the deployment of the National Guard. | |
| More of these things started coming out. | |
| People started saying, where's the accountability? | |
| My response to them was, well, first of all, Congress doesn't have the authority to do anything legally. | |
| That's under the Department of Justice. | |
| And under this Department of Justice, I would just be wasting ink and paper if I made a referral to this Department of Justice. | |
| But as we said, a new sheriff is coming to town, one who actually wants to see justice done. | |
| And so we will be making referrals as we come across these things to the new Department of Justice going forward. | |
| And I think you're going to see some accountability. | |
| Yeah, I really hope so. | |
| I think that people need to see that to have any faith in these institutions anymore. | |
| Again, they've seen the lawfare against them, that something this major, this big, frankly, as far as I'm concerned, a much bigger deal than anything that happened on January 6th other than that, that that could just go overlooked. | |
| I mean, it leads any sort of sentient being, any rational being to just say, okay, well, that was a backup plan if they couldn't get what they wanted out of the sort of Fake, you know, unarmed insurrection, whatever they want to call it, that that could just disappear, not be investigated far more vigorously than everything else. | |
| It's almost like it's obviously a backup plan. | |
| What else could it possibly be? | |
| Right. | |
| And, you know, we are going to continue this investigation. | |
| I'll give kudos to Speaker Johnson. | |
| Who tweeted out last week that some people were concerned of what would happen with the new Congress. | |
| Are we going to continue the investigation? | |
| And he was clear. | |
| We are going to continue this investigation. | |
| We're going to make sure it's fully funded. | |
| And we've been given the green light to aggressively go forward and continue to expose where the corruption is. | |
| Across the board, both here in the Capitol and especially in the executive branch, because I think this is a good opportunity for us to work with the executive branch to get into the Department of Homeland Security, where we suspect there were major intelligence failures going on there within the Department of Justice. | |
| Inspector General of the DOJ just a few weeks ago released a report of how many human resources, confidential human resources, they had embedded in the crowds on January 6th. | |
| Well, my question to them is, if you had that many spies embedded that deeply in all of these organizations, how in the world did you not know this was going to happen? | |
| So I want to know what intelligence they had. | |
| What intelligence did they receive from these confidential human resources? | |
| When did they receive it and what did they do with it? | |
| Or did they just decide to sit on it and say, let's see what happens and maybe how we can use this. | |
| So there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. | |
| And now with a cooperative executive with your father as the president who wants to clean up this government, I think we can make a whole lot of headway and make the American people proud of the government they have once again. | |
| Well, I really appreciate it, Congressman. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| Really appreciate your time. | |
| Congressman Loudermilk, everyone, thank you so much for that. | |
| And yeah, stay at it. | |
| I think people want to know, and I think it's an important factor of the next four years and, frankly, the next few decades that people have faith in these institutions, that they don't only function to protect one side. | |
| Exactly. | |
| And thank you for giving the coverage since mainstream media really loves to ignore the truth. | |
| Well, I look forward to seeing you in two weeks up in D.C. All right. | |
| Look forward to it. | |

| Darren, great to have you back, buddy. | |
| Oh, we muted? | |
| Maybe muted. | |
| I'll keep talking. | |
| We think it's on your end, Darren. | |
| All right. | |
| So we'll give that one second to pop up if If you give me the live chat, I'll take some of your questions while we're getting Darren to figure that out. | |
| Arrest all the deep state. | |
| That would be nice. | |
| That would be great. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Great show like always. | |
| Thank you, Honor Girl. | |
| Grape Twizzlers usually fix all his problems. | |
| That's funny. | |
| Let's see. | |
| You're good. | |
| We hear him. | |
| Okay, wait. | |
| They seem to hear him, they said, but I don't know if that's just someone trolling me in the... | |
| JR is coked out. | |
| I know. | |
| Obviously, right? | |
| That's what they say. | |
| Everyone in the media says that it's sort of amazing. | |
| You'd think there'd be actual video of me doing that or pictures or something. | |
| A little bit more damning than having a tin of nicotine on my table with my kids. | |
| But, you know, I guess that's the trolls and what they'll usually do. | |
| Dana White, Facebook board of directors. | |
| Yeah, I saw that. | |
| I haven't spoken to Dana about it. | |
| I think he actually had a call with my father today. | |
| But I don't know. | |
| I know that, you know, Zuck started going to the UFC stuff, so I don't know if they're trying to balance it out over there. | |
| I haven't had a chance to touch base with him, but I heard that news right before I got on the show. | |
| So I heard the news, but I don't actually have any details. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Okay. | |
| I'm happy we have the Trump family. | |
| Tolko, thank you. | |
| Really appreciate that. | |
| Is anyone going back to Facebook? | |
| Salty Kraken. | |
| I don't use my Facebook that much anymore. | |
| I used to do it when they sort of cracked down on some of the political stuff. | |
| Then I was like, well, I got not a lot else. | |
| And if I'm going to create content and not get any kind of reach or whatever, it didn't make much sense. | |
| But it does seem like they've made... | |
| I saw a hire this week I commented on that was actually a conservative guy that they put in there to run a lot of things. | |
| Who knows? | |
| Certainly a good start in preserving free speech and some of the stuff that we fight for here, but I'm not actually, you know, let's see what happens, but I don't have much of the details, but I'm happy to see, you know, anyone get involved that's not just woke insanity. | |
| What are we saying, guys? | |
| Yeah, I think I'm getting trolled that someone said they heard the guest speaker, but I doubt it. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Yeah, so for the Facebook thing, I don't use Facebook as much anymore. | |
| I was pretty big on it certainly years ago in 16, and then they cracked down a lot, and then I kind of got back on it, but I haven't used it as much lately. | |
| I do use Instagram, which is meta, just because I like the format. | |
| It's sort of where I follow the people I like in sort of the stuff I like. | |
| Now a lot of that's gun stuff or hunting stuff, so that gets demonetized probably, and I probably don't see it as much as I should. | |
| I do use the Gram quite a bit for that. | |
| So it's one of the more active platforms that I'm on. | |
| But, you know, again, I'm of the mind that you don't ever want to give up any of the platforms. | |
| So I'm glad to see Meta making some changes, at least creating some conservative voices there. | |
| I can see, you know, I would imagine Dana in a board meeting would be pretty powerful, cracking down on some of the woke nonsense. | |
| But, you know, I've been on a... | |
| I've gotten on, you know, TikTok and use that because you got to be where everyone is. | |
| So, okay, I think we got Darren. | |
| Darren, you there, buddy? | |
| Yes, here. | |
| Sorry about that. | |
| I was trying to use my new system with a nice camera and microphone. | |
| It was working earlier. | |
| I don't know why it's not working now, so I apologize for the inconvenience. | |
| Not at all, buddy. | |
| I'm usually a late adapter to technology as well because I find the same thing. | |
| Once I figure out how to use something, I just sort of stick with it until it's basically obsolete. | |
| But, Darren, this is sort of big news, big story. | |
| I know you and I have talked about this. | |
| A bunch, both on the show and even off. | |
| You're obviously sort of, let's call it the oracle or the original journalist to take on the pipe bomb saga. | |
| But, you know, first off, you know, just your reaction to the congressman's investigation and where we go from here. | |
| Well, I think it's highly encouraging. | |
| Look, Loudermilk has done a great job. | |
| Massey has been behind this and he... | |
| More than pretty much anyone has taken up our research at Revolver.News and used his perch to escalate and amplify. | |
| And there are a number of interesting things about this report. | |
| It goes into exhaustive detail about some critical components of the BIPOM story. | |
| First, about how the Secret Service managed to miss the bomb in the first place. | |
| And that's something that we reported on. | |
| The nature of the report, which I suggest everyone read, Is such that, and I think I agree with their approach here, they wanted to avoid anything speculative. | |
| No matter how reasonable the inferences that could be drawn, they wanted to stick to just the facts alone. | |
| But there are certain passages where you can tell that they were trying to suggest something, as it were. | |
| And one of them was... | |
| They went through, okay, we had all these Secret Service agents. | |
| We had 10 different agents. | |
| We had multiple different canine units of two people each. | |
| They were basically walking right over the bomb and they managed to miss it. | |
| Like, they really document this probably better than any place I've ever seen, including our own. | |
| We've done this, but not as extensively of theirs, to really drive home the point of how on earth... | |
| Could the bomb be missed? | |
| And of course, no pedestrians saw it, whatnot. | |
| Then they get into how once the bomb was found, the reaction to it is equally suspicious and inexplicable, allowing a group of children to walk right by it. | |
| A flagrant violation of protocol that's far less suggestive of incompetence and far more suggestive that there was some kind of... | |
| For knowledge, at least as to the threat level of the bomb, which they stood around like without a care in the world for their own safety, as well as the safety of others. | |
| So that was very interesting. | |
| They mentioned the one individual that I have named as a person I am... | |
| Sure is part of the cover-up, and that is Ashen Benedict. | |
| They mention him only briefly as to say he has not been cooperative with their investigation. | |
| Surprise, surprise. | |
| For those who haven't heard that name, by the way, he's not just anybody. | |
| He is a 25-year veteran of the ATF who was the lead first responder to the pipe bomb, who now happens to be the head of Dignitary Protection and Intelligence. | |
| At the Capitol Police. | |
| He's currently in charge of the safety of all members of Congress. | |
| The only guy that I've named as the one person, I am sure, is part of this cover-up. | |
| So that's quite interesting as well. | |
| I love that his name is Benedict, that sort of works with Benedict Arnold. | |
| Seems to be quite fitting right here. | |
| Yeah, nominative determinism. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| And he's an interesting character. | |
| And of course, he has not been cooperative to the committee. | |
| There are other things that we can get into. | |
| But I think the take home from this, because everyone's going to read it. | |
| And yes, it's nice to have our reporting confirmed. | |
| But what people are really interested in, myself included, are what are the next steps? | |
| How do we tie a bow on this? | |
| How do we get from the 95% Done to that extra 5% that provides total closure and exposure to this case and accountability to this case. | |
| And I think the story is quite clear. | |
| And this is what I've come to believe as well. | |
| I think it's a reasonable inference from the report. | |
| It's reasonable inference from the data is the following. | |
| The FBI was... | |
| Actually did conduct a real investigation early on. | |
| They did everything that you would expect them to do. | |
| They were attempting the geofencing. | |
| They were interviewing thousands of people. | |
| They were interviewing all the locations. | |
| They were following leads. | |
| They were doing all of this. | |
| And then something happened. | |
| And around springtime, say May of 2021, the investigation just stopped. | |
| And what I conclude from that is that They actually found out what happened. | |
| And what they found out was profoundly embarrassing to the government and to the narrative that the Biden regime wanted to promote. | |
| And so instead of following that investigation further, they basically just killed it. | |
| And there's another thing that we reported is there was another agency, not the FBI, another agency. | |
| Investigating the pipe bomb, and they wanted to see surveillance footage of that pipe bomb location on January 6th. | |
| And I know for a fact they couldn't go to the FBI to see that footage. | |
| They had to go to the DNC, which suggests that the FBI no longer had that footage. | |
| So the investigation was, in effect, dead by early 2022. But based on this report and all the activity that happened in those early months and then just dead. | |
| It strongly suggests that they basically ended the investigation in May of 2021. Then the cover-up began. | |
| And the question is, who are the other key players in the cover-ups? | |
| Why? | |
| They mention a bunch of really interesting leads. | |
| And then they just say, oh, we stopped investigating. | |
| They stopped pursuing the lead. | |
| And so the future FBI director, Kash Patel, thankfully, will be in a position. | |
| We have this for him. | |
| On a silver platter. | |
| All he needs to do is take the 95% that's already done and then conclude with that decisive final 5%. | |
| And that's going to be, who are these leads referenced in the report? | |
| Why were they dropped? | |
| Who are the FBI agents who are actually on this case? | |
| Because Steve Indiantuono, who is the head of the DC field office, who was caught in a lie incidentally in this report. | |
| He told the Judiciary Committee, yeah, we tried to get the telecom data, the geofencing data, to identify this pipe bomber, but they came back to us and the data was corrupted. | |
| That's what he told the Judiciary Committee. | |
| Well, in this Loudermilk report, we see that they actually inquired to all of the telecom companies, is this true? | |
| Was the data corrupted? | |
| And they said no. | |
| So I don't want to say lie, but... | |
| At the very least, there's contradictory claims here, to put it diplomatically. | |
| There are contradictory claims. | |
| Yeah, I mean, of course, none of the story actually makes any sense. | |
| The FBI has endless tools at its disposal to find... | |
| Anyone and everyone remotely close to the Capitol. | |
| I mean, they shut down bank accounts for people who are, you know, if they use their charge card somewhere. | |
| But the pipe bombers just roaming around. | |
| It's just too great a mystery to get to the bottom of. | |
| Then the video footage comes back and it's blurry. | |
| No one's actually even talking about it. | |
| I mean, you know, as a reasonable being who's been watching what's going on for the last nine years. | |
| What else could it be other than a backup plan to if they didn't get what they want out of the rest of January 6th? | |
| I mean, it never added up. | |
| And now it's really not adding up. | |
| But you're right. | |
| I think what we do want is accountability. | |
| That may take the new administration to do it because you understand that Joe Biden's DOJ is not going to prosecute any of these things, even if it was real, even if it was right there on their face. | |
| They just let it go. | |
| But do you think the FBI could also have covered? | |
| Yeah, I think, yes, there are things that have probably just disappeared forever, but I simply think it's too big for the entire paper trail to disappear. | |
| And the very basic things like... | |
| Who are these leads referenced in the report? | |
| Why were they dropped? | |
| And even more basic, who were the two key FBI agents who were in charge of the investigation in the first place? | |
| That's the kind of information that is very hard to just disappear completely. | |
| And it's something that D'Antuono, when he was talking to the Judiciary Committee, apart from his lie about the telecom data, He refused to give those names and even basically tried to suggest that he forgot the names. | |
| Look, this is the highest profile investigation going on in the FBI. This was the most quote-unquote domestic terror-y aspect, these pipe bomb explosives, the most domestic terror-y aspect of the event that they've been trying to sell as a major Instance of domestic terror. | |
| It was the highest profile component of the highest profile investigation they were doing. | |
| And this guy was the head of it. | |
| And he claims that he doesn't know who the two agents were. | |
| Who are basically running the investigation under him? | |
| That's not believable. | |
| And I can't believe that there's no paper record or documentation indicating who these people are. | |
| I think that's going to open up a lot once those people are identified and questioned. | |
| I suspect... | |
| At least one of those two is not a very intelligent person, is somebody who is lower IQ and who did a very sloppy job. | |
| And the slop that he left behind, I think, is also going to be very instructive and interesting. | |
| So I think there's enough stuff that just exists and will be very hard for someone to disappear or erase or obfuscate that... | |
| Future FBI Director Kash Patel will be in a position to uncover and pursue if he wants to do that, and I certainly hope he wants to, and I think he will. | |
| I know he's expressed interest in this case, but it will take a little bit of courage to push this to its full conclusion because, look, the cover-up involves, for sure, the FBI, the Capitol Police, The Secret Service of the United States and the ATF. And those are just the ones that I'm certain about. | |
| There could be other agencies as well. | |
| So this is a very big deal. | |
| Yeah, because I mean, on a technical note, the other interesting thing that we discussed last time and the angle is that the evidence of the frame rate tampering and other tampering of the DNC surveillance footage used by the FBI. I mean, you know, it turned into like 1970s level type monitoring, which I imagine is not The technology that you have outside of the DNC in the year 2020. What more have you been able to find about that, Darren? | |
| Well, yeah, that was very interesting. | |
| And again, I think by identifying the agents who are in charge of the investigation, that will enable you to dig into things like chain of custody of the surveillance footage. | |
| Because there are multiple cameras that have footage of this DNC location. | |
| The footage that... | |
| Recently sort of jump-started or breathed new life into this investigation depicting the discovery of the DNC bomb. | |
| That comes from Capitol Police cameras. | |
| And there are a variety of cameras from different agencies that would have covered that area. | |
| But for some reason, the footage that the FBI obtained and presented to the public as part of their public entreaty to help us identify the perpetrator, that comes from the DNC. Which is interesting in its own right, that they chose to use DNC cameras. | |
| And as we've reported and really documented in great detail, and I would say dispositively without any doubt, the frame rates are clearly tampered with. | |
| That frame rate is sort of a semi-technical Term for how many frames per second, which refers to how much fluidity is captured. | |
| If you have a high frame rate, you got very fluid motion, low frame rate, you can simply miss very important things. | |
| Like if someone's walking fast, you can miss them entirely because the frame rate is too slow. | |
| The lowest industry standard available for frame rate is 8 frames per second. | |
| That's maybe the cheapest you get, what you might find in the middle of nowhere gas station or McDonald's or something. | |
| The average frame per second for the footage the FBI presented from the DNC is 1.2. | |
| So it's not just like we're asked to believe that the DNC skimped. | |
| Maybe they had... | |
| Some version of Doge that said you can only get the cheapest camera or something like that. | |
| But that couldn't even explain it. | |
| Because it's not a matter of getting the cheapest camera. | |
| They would have to scour the country to find the one or two antique stores that may have still carried a surveillance camera with that level of frame rate. | |
| It's just not believable. | |
| Especially for... | |
| A building like that, that has VIPs coming and going every day in a high crime city, not to mention the fact that a break into the DNC building is what catalyzed one of the biggest political scandals in our nation's history, namely Watergate. | |
| It's not believable that they would have the lowest commercially available quality security camera, but even if that was the case. | |
| This is too low even for that. | |
| You can't even get it. | |
| Yeah, I have hunting trail cameras that have a higher frame rate than that, and those are battery-operated that you strap into a tree. | |
| Give me a break. | |
| So they clearly tampered with it, and I've gotten conflicting reports, but I've talked to sources, some of whom have seen this footage early on, who indicate that the frame rate from the source footage is actually not this. | |
| Depreciated and not this degraded. | |
| I think in any case, it's inconceivable that the source footage was this degraded. | |
| It was degraded at a certain intermediate point, whether the DNC degraded it and then gave it to the FBI, whether they gave it to some third-party contractor who then doctored the footage accordingly and then gave it to the FBI, or whether the FBI itself did it. | |
| That's a chain of custody question that should be Fairly easily answered. | |
| The only problem is it's never really been pursued. | |
| I don't even think the FBI went to the DNC to get a full accounting of what was going on with the surveillance footage. | |
| What type of camera were they using? | |
| All of these details that could help us get to the bottom of how the... | |
| Quality could be so degraded. | |
| Yet again, this is another thing that the FBI under Kash Patel would be in a position to get to the bottom of. | |
| And by knowing the names of the people running the investigation, you could get to the people who may or may not have intentionally degraded the footage in order to make it next to impossible for the public to discover who this person is. | |
| Yeah, I mean, more broadly, it feels like we're in this battle between the globalist regime and the American Republic. | |
| This is all really just one more example of it. | |
| You're a political theorist. | |
| What are the maxims and the principles that need to stay at our foundation for a long-term vision for America's success? | |
| Well, this is a whole separate conversation that is very interesting. | |
| And the shortest... | |
| The most compact answer that I can give for that actually draws upon a speech that President Trump gave, one of my favorites, actually my favorite, which is the first inauguration speech. | |
| And he says something to the effect that their victories are not your victories. | |
| You're referring in this case to the globalists, the corrupt elites. | |
| I think the basic principle of America First, what we need to be aiming for. | |
| Is that the victories of the American system, of American institutions, of stakeholders in American hegemony, those victories also need to be the victories of the common man, of the forgotten man, of the working man, of the middle class. | |
| Because there's all these conversations about How do we maintain supremacy geopolitically? | |
| How do we remain at the very elite level in terms of academics? | |
| How do we keep our economy winning? | |
| And that's all. | |
| It's supremely important, but if it just amounts to how do the Wall Street people stay rich? | |
| How do the academic elites stay, you know, disconnected? | |
| How do we keep the military industrial complex continually enriched and empowered? | |
| And none of that translates into basic standard of living conditions for the regular American people to thrive. | |
| That is not a success. | |
| We need both. | |
| And we need to restore that connection between the successes of the high-level stakeholders in the American regime and the successes and flourishing of the regular American people. | |
| I think that's so critical. | |
| Darren, since you're someone who's going to look into these things and get into the details, what do you make of the terror attacks that happened in the first week of this year already? | |
| You know, obviously we understand a lot of that could be linked to the open border policies that have been there, the fact that we've allowed sort of radicalized individuals to continue to do some of this nonsense. | |
| But, you know, what do you think about that? | |
| Because even those, especially when you talk about New Orleans and then Vegas and all of these things before you even get into the New York City nightclub stuff, you know, there feels like there's a lot, a little bit too much coincidence there, and I don't believe in any coincidence anymore. | |
| I think it's bizarre. | |
| I think these things would probably have to be treated on a case-by-case basis, and I haven't had the time to do a deep enough dive that I'd feel comfortable saying, well, this is what I think of this particular case. | |
| But I think on a second-order level, it's always instructive to look at what agenda is the media, what agenda is the regime trying to push from these things? | |
| Because I think often that gives you a sense of what's... | |
| What is the narrative that they want to drive out of these types of events? | |
| And as of yet, it's kind of unclear what that narrative is. | |
| And so I think we'll have to wait and see what kind of trend, if any, develops. | |
| But it's certainly strange that you have this very kind of Just very compact concatenation of events. | |
| Whereas before, it's been a very long time since you'd seen anything like this. | |
| And you're seeing these things in Europe as well. | |
| And so it kind of reminds me of a softer version. | |
| It's not as intense, but there are all those ISIS attacks going on in 2015, early 2016. And I hope it doesn't balloon into that. | |
