	You want to be a part of the program.
	Uh these hearings that have been going on today about the weaponization of our government, more specifically the FBI and the DOJ.
	I mean, it is it is chilling.
	It is frightening, it is pretty unbelievable.
	Um, you know, yesterday the the hearings focused a lot on Hunter Ba Biden, the laptop, the suppression of information, the coordinate of coordination with the FBI into all of this.
	Remember, the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop in December of 2019.
	That would have given them plenty of time to authenticate, whether or not it was Hunter's laptop or not, and that was voluntarily handed over to the FBI.
	Uh John Paul Isaac Mack, the the repair shop gu Mac Isaac, sorry, whatever.
	Uh he's a good guy.
	And he gave this to the FBI.
	And the FBI had it in December of 2019.
	Now you fast forward and we're headed towards the 2020 election.
	And you got this guy, Chan, I think is his name, FBI agent, new agent, because in 2016 he was writing his thesis, confirmed to me last night by Jim Comer, on how Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
	So this is the guy that they set up uh to focus on and educate and sort of indoctrinate, I think a better word.
	Um big tech companies about the threat of misinformation leading into the 2020 election and how they're likely all gonna be victims of this, and they want to be very, very wary that this this doesn't happen to them.
	Now, let me just take you back a step further.
	Yo Roth, who was one of the main people that they were focusing on yesterday, uh was the former site uh Twitter integrity site head, and he had testified in this case, then attorney general, now Senator uh Eric Schmidt from Missouri,
	and and Eric Schmidt said that in a either in a deposition, but certainly under oath that Mr. Roth acknowledged that in these weekly meetings set up by this FBI guy that believed the Russia Hulk's lie that is meeting weekly with big tech companies, uh, that in fact he recalled that they mentioned specifically Hunter Biden and Joe Biden in particular might be the ones that are the victims of of some kind of disinformation campaign.
	So you have all these Twitter executives testifying before Congress yesterday, one after another.
	You know, they seem to have conveniently come down with a case of amnesia, uh, especially when pressed on the details of their role in suppressing the news about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	Uh Republicans now pushing forward here, and meanwhile, it's things are now slowly unraveling on new details from the the Hunter Biden laptop, which became the holy grail of of Biden's syndicate, likely we'll see in time, corruption.
	Now, under questioning by Jim Jordan Jordan, this guy Yo Roth, uh, and James Baker, remember him, former, you know, counsel for the FBI under Comey, uh, who was then working for Twitter.
	Uh, anyway, they were deflecting allegations of collusion between the FBI and Twitter to censor the New York Post article.
	Here's the problem that they have.
	The FBI had the laptop, and they had every opportunity to find out is it real or not real?
	So they should have done that very early on because you have low-hanging fruit evidence of crimes, which is one of the main reasons why the la the laptop repair shop owner brought it to the FBI in the first place.
	Then under questioning led by Jim Jordan, uh, you have the Twitter deputy general James Baker, and you have this guy Yo Roth and others um taking turns deflecting all this simple question, for example, he said, Did you talk to the FBI about the Hunter Biden story?
	Jordan asked James Baker point blank.
	To the best of my recollection, I did not talk to the FBI about the Hunter Biden story before that day.
	He replied.
	And he was referencing October 14, 2020, when the New York Post published the first of its world exclusive report.
	Did you talk to them after?
	His answer, I don't recall.
	And then moments later, Jor Jordan presses further.
	And Baker then seems to contradict himself.
	Sitting here today, I don't recall speaking with the FBI at all about the Hunter Biden matter, the laptop.
	Then why did you answer the way that you did, Jordan is asking?
	And then later in the hearing, Jordan pressed Baker further.
	This time over whether he had any conversations with 51 former Intel officials who implied that the laptop was Russian or likely Russian misinformation.
	Have you talked to any of the 51 prior to that letter being sent on the 19th of October 2020 or thereafter?
	He said, Sir, I can't remember who's on that group, uh, kicking off what was really a torturous back and forth.
	You know, people like James Clapper, John Brennan, uh Mike Morrell, etc., etc.
	Uh, we talked to those people during the course of my career.
	That's not what Jim Jordan was asking, so he's being a wise ass.
	And Jordan Preston, have you ever talked to them in your time at Twitter?
	Baker said, I can't remember who's on that list.
	How about the three that I just mentioned?
	Did you talk to Clapper?
	Did you talk to Brennan?
	Anyone else that signed that letter?
	Then finally Baker says, I don't recall discussing that publication, they did.
	Now, the problem that Yo Roth, and we've got to cross-check this.
	I don't know for sure, but Yo Roth was very specific in saying that when he had these weekly meetings with the FBI, that in fact Hunter's name was mentioned.
	I mean, that that now becomes a massive problem for them.
	Um we've just got a lot of the a lot of balls in the air here, and I will tell you the most devastating developments today came from Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Chuck Rassley that testified, and I'm going to get to that in a second.
	Um the FBI, may you know, and a major corporation working together and to Suppress what was real, true, and accurate information.
	Then you have the intelligence community doing it as well.
	Now, why did they want to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story?
	Well, for obvious reasons, don't you think that it would be damaging to not only Hunter Biden, but to Joe Biden as well, because on the laptop, Hunter Biden implicates his own father.
	Uh talking to his own daughter, he says, Hunter, that, well, I have to give half my income to Pops, but I'm not going to do that to you.
	And then complaining about paying for all of Dad's repairs, Pop's repairs at his house, and then putting aside 10% for the big guy.
	Um it was ample evidence, you know, of collusion in 2020, but it wasn't Trump and Russia.
	So you have big tech and the FBI, the uh the upper echelon of the FBI.
	You have some involvement from Democrats and the DNC in the Biden campaign communicating with big tech as well.
	Um, you know, the Hunter Biden laptop story, you know, was censored in the weeks leading up to election day.
	It was not misinformation.
	It was not disinformation.
	As a matter of fact, they could have corroborated it.
	And the fact that they had it since December of 2019 tells me that they knew damn well it was accurate.
	They knew that Rudy Giuliani had a copy, and they, I'm sure suspected that he was likely going to release that before the 2020 election, which I believe in fact he did.
	I don't recall the exact the exact location that it came from.
	I'm not sure where the New York Post got it.
	Um, but yo Roth calling, you know, Republicans Nazis, but in he specifically said, I recall in my interview with Eric Schmidt, that in fact they mentioned that the misinformation may in fact be about Hunter Biden.
	So in other words, all of these companies were prepared.
	Oh, there's going to be information that comes out about Hunter.
	We got to be on the lookout for that.
	But yet the FBI could have corroborated and verified the laptop since they had in 2019.
	Senator Johnson said on December 9, 2019, the FBI issued a grand jury subpoena, took possession of the Hunter Biden laptop from John Paul Mack Isaac, a computer shop owner in Wilmington, Delaware.
	And he says, as the FBI left his shop with the laptop, Mr. Isaac recalled one of the agents saying, quote, it is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don't talk about these things, unquote.
	Now, the that statement alone was the opening salvo and a coordinated effort over the next 10 months to sabotage any public revelation of Hunter Biden's laptop or any wrongdoing connected to the Bidens.
	This is Ron Johnson.
	Senator Chuck Grassley provided another a number of examples of sabotage.
	And we will release the report that goes into greater detail than we have time for today, and when available, I hope everyone will read it.
	But perhaps the most egregious and effective act of sabotage, and that's what he's calling it, um, against the truth was the public letter signed by 51 former Intel officials that claim that the laptop, quote, had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation, unquote.
	The letter itself was an information operation, and that letter interfered with an impact of the 2020 presidential election to a far greater extent than anything Russia ever could have hoped to achieve.
	Each of those intelligence officials needs to be interviewed and determined how that letter was masterminded.
	And then we had Chuck Grassley get up there, and he said they issued another report in November of 2020.
	And our report exposed the extensive financial relationships between Hunter, James Biden, and Chinese nationals connected to the communist regime.
	More precisely, Chinese nationals connected to the Chinese government, the Chinese military, and their intelligence services.
	And Grassley goes on with the new Congress.
	Senator Johnson and I transition to be ranking members.
	We hadn't forgot about the the triad of partisan media at the FBI and Democrats and leadership, what they did to us.
	So we won't we didn't stop, we don't stop.
	What we did was what any good congressional investigator worth their salt would do.
	We gathered even more records to Prove them all wrong.
	We acquired the authentic bank records that substantiated findings of our previous two reports, and they financially linked Hunter Biden, James Biden to entities and individuals connected with the communist Chinese regime.
	And Grassley goes on, we also acquired business records with Hunter and James Biden's signature alongside those same Chinese nationals.
	How are they supposed to be paid?
	Uh, according to bank records, there were wires from companies linked to the communist regime.
	And in three floor speeches, we made those bank records public and asked this question and to our partisan detractors, the same ones that I mentioned throughout my remarks, and maybe a lot of others, uh are these official bank records, Russian disinformation.
	And we shared hundreds of pages of bank records with the U.S. attorney, Anthony Weiss.
	He failed to respond.
	Now, as our investigation continued, whistleblowers now approach my office with allegations that the FBI created an assessment in August of 2020, the same month that the FBI briefed me and Senator Johnson, according to whistleblowers.
	That assessment was used by FBI headquarters to improperly discredit uh negative Hunter Biden information.
	And as you might expect, disinformation as a result of this scheme allegedly caused investigative activity to entirely cease.
	And it's been further alleged to me that in September of 2020, the same month that Senator Johnson and I released our first report, those FBI headquartered personnel began placing their analysis of the credibility of reporting related to the Biden family in what I've been told is a restricted access subfile and further allegations to my office involved FBI personnel in the Washington field office who improperly ordered information to be closed to the FBI related to Hunter
	Biden's potential criminal conduct in October of 2020, just before the election, even though it was verified or verifiable.
	So now we got a series of whistleblowers, some of them speaking today.
	And uh wait to hear the remarks of Jonathan Turley.
	And the bottom line is this was an operation to keep pertinent information about a presidential race away from the American people on two fronts.
	First of all, brainwashing and lying to social media companies and indoctrinating them into a way of thinking they wouldn't have otherwise believed.
	And secondly, the FBI itself abusing its power.
	That's what it sounds like to me.
	Let me read to you what Jonathan Turley, who testified today, said one, this may be the largest censorship system in the history of this country.
	Secondly, this is beyond what agencies usually do.
	This was not the FBI responding to criticism of the FBI.
	It was uh general policing.
	This thing called this information, and eventually they tacked on you know things like jokes.
	They tag it just a ridiculous scope of information they believed could be removed.
	He said, I see what we have we have here in these items in terms of what the government is doing, uh, is what we've seen before.
	Even if you assume this does not create an agency, it is wrong.
	For the government to be in the business of silencing its citizens, is it is wrong.
	He said we saw this during the McCarthy period where the government was behind the blacklisting of individuals.
	We said it was wrong then, and it was wrong.
	Uh, it was wrong then, and it's wrong now.
	I mean, pretty powerful remarks.
	Now, we're beginning to hear from the FBI uh whistleblowers.
	Uh, there's over a couple of dozen of them.
	We'll be hearing from in the days and weeks ahead.
	Uh, one, Nicole Parker.
	The FBI has become politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington, trickling down to the field offices.
	Although the FBI have their First Amendment rights, they are not at liberty to allow their personal political preferences to determine their course of action or inaction in any investigation.
	Lady Justice must remain blind.
	Those that do not hold uphold these responsibilities cause a negative ripple effect throughout the agency in the field.
	It is if there has become two FBIs.
	Americans now see this.
	It is destroying the Bureau's credibility, causing Americans to lose faith in the agency.
	This is one of what's going to be dozens of whistleblowers.
	I know I know liberal Democrats love whistleblowers.
	Uh yes, can I help you?

	So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	And Jim Jordan gave an opening statement and he talked about how in November 2021, an FB, an FBI uh whistleblower.
	Um hang on, I've got to tell somebody I'm actually working for a living.
	Anyway, an FBI whistleblower disclosed two Republicans on the House Judiciary, and the FBI created a threat tag for parents that uh were guilty of the crime, how dare them of voicing their concerns at school board meetings.
	He gives the date, April 26, 2022.
	Another FBI whistleblower discloses that the FBI employees are being run out of the bureau if they attend any political event on their own time.
	Uh May 11th, by the way, uh another FBI whistleblower disclosed that dozens of parents with a threat tag uh designation to their names are being investigated by the FBI.
	These are parents speaking out about CRT or transgender education in schools, or opposing drag queens for kids K through, you know, eighth grade being brought into the school.
	Anyway, then you have another FBI agent, another whistleblower that points all of this out to them as well.
	And it appears that the same whistleblower said to the FBI leadership, not the rank and file, and the FBI leadership, they say, he says, is rotted at its core.
	How long have we been telling you this?
	What was my biggest disappointment?
	Christopher Ray had the opportunity post James Comey to return the FBI to become once again the premier law enforcement agency in the country.
	He's failed to do that.
	He's clearly an institutionalist.
	He's clearly there, and he doesn't want to rock the boat, and he doesn't want the FBI to stay clear of politics and its original mission, which is to be the premier law enforcement agency in the entire world.
	Anyway, he said his clearance has been revoked.
	He's been suspended, and then on June 7, 2022, another FBI whistleblower is retaliated against after giving feedback on an anonymous survey.
	Then he points out, July 27, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses that agents are being pressured to reclassify cases as domestic violent extremist, some of the cases to hit self-created performance metrics.
	On September 14th, FBI whistleblower disclosed that the FBI views the Betsy Ross flag as a terrorist symbol.
	On September nineteenth, twenty twenty-two, another FBI whistleblower disclosed that the Washington Field Office is deliberately manipulating January sixth case files to make it appear that domestic violence extremism is on the rise rise.
	This guy, that this whistleblower was suspended uh in November.
	Then on November 4th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower disclosed that the FBI accepts private user information from Facebook without the user's consent, and information is from only the conservative side of the political spectrum.
	What the hell is going on here?
	You know, you can see the weaponization at the Justice Department.
	You know, none of the people involved in the Russia hoax, the collusion using the unverified dirty Hillary bought and paid for Russian dossier.
	Remember, if you recall the timeline, in August of 2016, it was Bruce Orr that said you can't trust the dossier because it's political and paid for by one political party, and that being the DNC and Hillary Clinton.
	And that money was funneled through Fusion GPS.
	They hired a former MI6 agent, and that guy, Christopher Steele, came up with a series of documents that eventually became known together as the dossier.
	Now, in early October 2016, before the 2016 presidential election, the FBI actually flew all the way out over the pond uh to Great Britain to meet with Christopher Steele.
	They offered him a million dollar bounty bonus if he could corroborate that the dossier that he put together for Hillary Clinton, Russian disinformation was true.
	He was never able to collect his money because he couldn't verify any of it.
	Yet by the end of that month, in October of 2016, that dossier was used as the bulk of information in what became known as the FISA applications to spy on and ruin the life of one Carter Page, who also had connections, contacts to the Trump administration, which was a backdoor into Trump world.
	And anyway, even though it says at the top of a FISA application verified, well, all the information was unverifiable, and Andy McCabe, deputy FBI director, even said without the dossier, they never would have gotten the FISA warrants approved.
	And that was only one of four of them.
	And you might recall Senator Lindsey Graham in the Senate asked everybody that had signed that dirty dossier.
	James Comey being one of them.
	He signed three of the four of them.
	Rod Rosenstein being another one.
	He signed the last one.
	Knowing what you know now, would you have signed that FISA application?
	Knowing what I know now, no.
	But the reality is they knew it was unverified.
	Now that's one presidential election.
	Now that brings us to this whole issue of which came up a lot yesterday and is coming up again today, and that is that the FBI being led by an agent who wrote a thesis in 2016 that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the twenty sixteen election.
	That was told to me by James Comer last night and confirmed last night on my TV show.
	Uh, But then forms a team that meets weekly with big tech companies, giving them admonitions and warnings about a possible about them possibly being targeted for misinformation in the lead up to the 2020 election.
	And as part of the testimony, according to Eric Schmidt when he was the AG and now Senator Eric Schmidt had under oath, the head of site integrity over at Twitter, and said that he said under oath that, yeah, they specifically even mentioned Hunter Biden.
	Well, that means that the FBI that already had Hunter Biden's laptop, either they were lazy and didn't do their job from December 19th through November December of 2019 to November November of 2020.
	They could at all the time in the world to verify this.
	But they're specifically, according to that testimony, given very specific admonitions and warnings that some of this misinformation might be about Hunter Biden, might be about Joe Biden.
	And you got to be on the lookout for it because you don't want to be, you know, uh disseminating information that is false.
	Then, of course, the 51 former intelligence officials that don't knew nothing about what was in the laptop, knew nothing about whether it was true or false, but just politically wanted Donald Trump to lose and Joe Biden to win.
	You know, they come out with that as all the markings of being a Russian disinformation campaign.
	Well, none of them had any access to anything, and they all turned out to be dead wrong.
	Because all of them said it because all of it was political, and all of it was designed to help Joe Biden win.
	But in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, the presidential election, you know, they they had this information.
	Now, the FBI had the laptop.
	The FBI also knew that somebody else had a copy of the laptop.
	They knew that Rudy Giuliani had a copy, and that Rudy Giuliani was President Trump's attorney.
	And so I'm sure they're not totally dumb.
	They might be corrupt, they might be politically biased, but they're not dumb.
	Gotta be somewhat smart to make it to the FBI, in my opinion.
	Could be political, but they had to know pretty darn well the odds were very high that in fact Rudy Giuliani, that that that laptop would make its way publicly before the election, and in fact it did.
	And that story was broken by the New York Post, America's oldest newspaper.
	And then, of course, these big tech companies had already been prepped.
	They had been conditioned.
	They were expecting this kind of disinformation.
	Why?
	Because the FBI that had their own copy of Hunter Biden's laptop, you know, was telling them it might be about Hunter.
	So then we have a suppression campaign.
	You know, and now the question is, why is the FBI yet again involving themselves and putting the thumbs on the scale of a presidential election?
	Never mind what also what they did in 2016.
	You know, no reasonable prosecutor or prosecute Jim Comey said in July of 2016, even though Hillary Clinton had tons of top secret classified information on her servers.
	Never mind the 33,000 deleted emails.
	We don't know what was on there because uh she introduced to the entire world something called Bleach Bit.
	I don't think anybody had ever heard of it before, and she wiped those servers clean and not with a cloth, but with basically acid washed, you know, and and erased everything that was on her hard drives.
	And then had staff members destroy, according to reports, all her devices, blackberries, iPhones with hammers, and removing any SIM cards and any phone before they handed it over to the FBI.
	You see what's going on here?
	You know, Jim Jordan says this is only a sampling.
	He says, in my time in Congress, I've never seen anything like this, dozens and dozens of whistleblowers, FBI agents coming to us talking about what's going on, the political nature of the Justice Department, and Jim Jordan saying this, not Republicans, not conservatives, but good, brave FBI agents who are willing to come forward and just tell the truth.
	This is j and this is just the FBI.
	And he points out Americans have concerns about a double standard at the Department of Justice.
	How is it Jim Comey?
	Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Jim Baker himself.
	Why didn't any of them get held accountable for what they did in signing a phony Pfizer warrant to spy on a presidential candidate, his transition team and then presidency?
	Why, because it's Donald Trump and that it was just fashionable not to like Donald Trump.
	I mean, this is it for the FBI.
	There's only one thing that should happen based on what we already know, and we're going to be hearing from dozens and dozens of more whistleblowers.
	This department needs to go away and be rebuilt from the ground up and become America and then the world's premier law enforcement agency again.
	And as for the politicized Department of Justice that, you know, only likes to raid, let's see, Roger Stone's house, pre-dawn raid, guns drawn, you know, frogman in the backyard, or Paul Manafort's home.
	We'll put this guy Papadopoulos, who was a low-level official, uh, that Donald Trump never met in jail for what, a week, two weeks, whatever it was, and go after every Republican and lie to the country and drag the country through hell for you know three long years on everything that they knew as a lie.
	And now here they are involving themselves in presidential election number two.
	I mean, when we hear from all of these whistleblowers, it's gonna be one after another after another after another.
	That means Christopher Ray has to go and Merrick Arlin has to go.
	Because they should have been the ones.
	Remember Merrick Garland reminded everybody at the DOJ, you're not allowed to talk to uh Congress members.
	You're not allowed to talk to uh members of Congress.
	Yes, they are because we have whistleblower protections for anybody that is information of any corruption that goes on.
	Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	All right, Senator Haggerty of Tennessee will join us today.
	Lauren Boebert, Congresswoman uh from Colorado will check in.
	Um, I know this may sound complicated, and it it is you in the days, weeks, and probably months to come, uh, you will have this down pat.
	But to just sum it up, is we are watching and witnessing yet again corruption at a level we have not seen in our lifetime, and an abuse of power we have not seen in our lifetime.
	And agencies that are supposed to be involved in equal application and equal justice under the law have been corrupted, and brave people have stepping forward to tell their story about this corruption.
	And day by day, we will be unpeeling every layer of every onion and hearing every story of every FBI agent, many of whom have paid a great personal price for telling us the truth about what's really going on at the FBI, how it's been politicized, and how the Department of Justice is weaponized against conservatives, kind of like the IRS has been for a long time.
	So, anyway, we have uh we have a great show tonight.
	We have Mac Gates, we have Jim Jordan, uh, we have Judge Janine, Sarah Huckabee Sanders tonight, and much more.
	You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
