Merrick Garland talked to Congress about the drug epidemic hitting this country and sort of waved off the threats coming from the Mexican drug cartels... something that very much mirrors the Biden Administration's response...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alright, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us toll free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm just looking at the New York Post.
Uh I read it earlier today and I'm looking at some of the stories I cut out of the paper.
So you got one story of a Long Island teacher forcing a fifth grade girl to go by the name Leo.
Um the parents are suing.
They they didn't find out until the girl started showing signs of thinking about suicide.
Uh and you know, this is how when did when did teachers think they have the right to circumvent the deeply held values, religious views of parents?
Apparently they do.
Then in New York, you can't even make this story up that they're gonna they're trying to buy five public toilets.
It's costing them five point three million dollars.
Over a million dollars for a toilet.
Now, if you go to Porta Potty, I don't know what it costs to run a porta potty, but I would imagine probably a porta potty is maybe a couple hundred dollars a day.
Katie, do you have any info on that?
It looks like it's anywhere from 50 for a standard of $50 to $500 a month.
And then if you get the high quality one, it's up to $7200 a month.
Okay, well, you know, let's get someone there in the middle.
Get the cheap ones.
If somebody needs to go, they go to the bathroom, clean it out once a day, you're all set.
Unbelievable.
Um, but this is now the country that we're living in.
We have an attorney general bl uh we wait on we get into him in a second.
Um let me just I have a lot to say about him, and we'll get to uh all of that.
Um oh, and police or there was an F the Police rally in New York in June of 2020.
And they had a curfew that night.
And though, and they were they advertised the rally by showing an NYPD, New York Police Department van up in flames.
That's what the rally, that's how they advertised the rally.
Many people got arrested.
Those people that got arrested are all getting 21,500 from the NYPD and from the city of New York.
You want to know why people are leaving New York?
There you go.
That pretty much sums it up.
New York is losing nearly a thousand people a day, three hundred thousand a year, California, three hundred thousand a year.
You have states like the Carolinas picking up a hundred thousand new residents a year.
States like Florida, 300,000 new residents a year, states like Texas, 300,000 residents a year, and people are saying, screw this, we're out of here.
We're done.
We're not putting up with this anymore.
Now New York City is handing out reward money to writers.
All right, I think I've seen it all.
And paying $5.3 million for porta potties.
Uh they couldn't get a better deal.
Good grief.
Um, if you live in Palestine in Ohio, where Joe Biden ignores you and has no compelling reason to go see you, I want you to know something.
Now we've already seen the tens of thousands of the dead fish, and we have all these stories about all these dead animals.
Well, now we have new a new wave of reports that people are falling ill in East Palestine.
Where are all those politicians that were saying the water's safe to drink and drinking water?
Anyway, workers cleaning up the toxic train derailment, and of course they had that so-called control burn.
Oh, everything's gonna be safe.
Just listen to the government.
They said the same thing after 9-11, two to three days later.
Oh no, the air is safe to breathe.
Uh, I was down there, and it was raining dust and debris for weeks and months on end.
And so many people got sick because they were told that it was safe and it wasn't.
Anyway, workers that are cleaning up the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, uh, according to the New York Post today, they're getting sick.
Leaders of the nation's largest rail unions have said Wednesday as they pressed the Biden administration for more safety measures.
The presidents of a dozen unions met with the administration officials to state their case and express their concern, and nobody seems to care.
By the way, the Dallas Fed, if you're following the economy, we're not going to spend a lot of time on the economy today, but you need to know this.
Uh the Dallas Fed is now warning of a deep global housing slide because of high interest rates, which we now know are likely to go higher.
Anyway, they said U.S. home prices could tumble as much as 20%.
Who I from the beginning of the Biden economy, I was warning you it's gonna hit the housing market.
You know, new home construction, it is come to a screeching halt, as I predicted.
Uh, sale of pre-existing homes, I told you, that would come to a screeching halt.
Uh, that has happened, and of course, home values will deteriorate.
That's happening too, unfortunately.
You know where people are less impacted?
In states like Florida and Texas and the Carolinas and Tennessee, because they're gaining all these new residents every day.
So it is it is saving these states their good policies and fiscal responsibility from all the fallout that the rest of the country's going through.
Um, I want to get back into what we discussed in great specificity and detail yesterday.
The last two days have been an unmitigated disaster for the Department of Justice and for the FBI.
I mean, we we went into great detail.
Now, Jim Jordan's committee, the judiciary committee is looking into the question.
Is the FBI have they been politicized?
Has the Department of Justice been weaponized?
We already know the answer, but they are bringing example after example.
I will tell you right now, I have absolutely no qualms.
We don't have equal justice and equal application of our laws.
We have a dual justice system in America.
Yes, the FBI has been politicized, and the FBI and the DOJ have both been Weaponized.
It's sad we can fix it.
If we don't fix it, the country, the Constitution, as we know, it might as well shred it if you don't have equal justice.
But, you know, that you know, we know, for example, that the FBI gave Hillary Clinton a pass in 2020.
No prosecutor would ever prosecute.
You know, all of the top secret classified material that they found on her servers, not including the 33,000 that uh emails that she destroyed with something nobody had ever heard of called Bleachbit and the devices like BlackBerries and iPhones that were banged up and beaten to death with a hammer and the SIM cards being removed.
No, that's that's not obstruction.
Only if you're a conservative would you get in trouble.
If you're a president uh or if you're running for president or you're a vice president or a secretary of state of one set of justice and another set of justice if your name is Donald Trump or a friend of Donald Trump.
You know, it's look, we now have had in 2020, they the FBI put their thumb on the scale of a political presidential election.
You know, the fact that they they literally were warned, don't trust the steel dossier.
The fact that they didn't go after Hillary for deleting those emails and and using bleach bit and destroying those devices.
That's special treatment.
That wouldn't happen to all of you listening to this program.
I promise you, you would likely be brought up on the charge of obstruction.
That never happened to the Clintons.
You know, they actively put their thumb on the scales in 2016.
Even when the FBI in early October 2016 went to Christopher Steele, said, Here's a million dollars if you can corroborate your dossier, he couldn't collect because he couldn't corroborate.
By the end of October, even though he couldn't corroborate it, they used it and used it four times over the course of a year.
Jim Coley signing three of the four, and they used it to as the bulk of information in a FISA application.
And remember, it was deputy FBI director McCabe that said, Well, if we didn't have the dossier, we wouldn't have gotten the Pfizer warrant.
And nobody was held accountable.
Well, they were spying then on a presidential candidate and then later on a president.
You know, that's the FBI that that Christopher Ray inherited, and that's the FBI that he should have brought back to its former greatness as the world's premier law enforcement agency.
I had two FBI whistleblowers on TV last night.
I had one on radio yesterday.
We're going to be hearing from dozens of these people.
And they're all going to say the same thing that I'm telling you now.
And it should shock the conscience and soul of the country.
And I don't care if you're a liberal or conservative or Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian, you should care that we have equal justice.
We don't have one set of justice for, you know, the Biden family and another set for the Trump family and another set of justice for the Clinton family.
You know, it's uh remember, according to no reasonable prosecutor or prosecute.
The FBI never ever bothered to conduct a search warrant of any of Joe Biden's properties, but he rated Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI never raided Hillary Clinton's Chappaqua mansion, but they rated Mar-a-Lago.
You know, early morning raids with SWAT teams and guns drawn.
They were only reserved for Mar-a-Lago and Trump associates like Paul Matafort and Roger Stone.
Even Frogman in the case, and then fake news CNN cameras at Roger Stone's, you know, early morning raid.
You know, Christopher Ray's been an abject failure.
He should have cleaned up the world's premier law enforcement agency.
He didn't.
You know, if you talk about equal treatment, you know, the FBI had possession of Hunter's laptop since December of 2019, and the FBI, you know, uses one special agent.
His claim to fame in school was his thesis that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.
He ends up being in charge of FBI agents meeting weekly with big tech companies, warning them that they might become victims of misinformation campaigns from America's enemies.
And meanwhile, they had Hunter Biden's laptop.
They said it may even be about Hunter and Joe Biden, according to uh this case in Missouri where Yoel Roth, the integrity site had at Twitter at the time, you know, said, Yeah, they mentioned Hunter.
It's unbelievable to me.
You know, that so now they're talking to all of these different ones on a weekly basis, warning social media companies to be on high alert for foreign disinformation surrounding, among other things, Joe and Hunter Biden.
So when the very true New York Post report came out about Hunter's laptop from hell was released, big tech had already been completely primed by the FBI and eagerly took their admonition, their warning, and assume that it was Russian disinformation.
Meanwhile, the FBI had their own laptop since December of 2019.
And I'm betting the FBI with their computer whiz kids, they probably could have authenticated that in 2448, 72 hours max.
But they didn't do it.
And they let the lie go forward.
Why?
They put the thumb on the scale and put a frankly cinder blocks on the scale to help support Joe Bidenists.
This was a game changer.
You know, did they tell social media companies what to censor?
No, they just fed them false information and a false narrative.
And they prejudiced them that any information about the Bidens is likely to be false.
Well, it worked.
The censorship campaign happened, and you know, they planted the seed in big tech weekly meetings and sat idly by and said nothing.
And the FBI also knew that Donald Trump's attorney at the time, Rudy Giuliani, had a copy of the laptop.
So they knew it was likely going to become public information.
I mean, the stuff that Christopher Ray said to Brett Baer, the stuff that was said, I'm gonna play a lot of this in the in the throughout the course of this hour, that Merrick Garland was saying to congressional committees, it should shock your conscience and your soul.
It was so bad.
I'll get into all of this as we continue.
Anyway, glad you're with us.

We'll get to the Merrick Garland aspect in a few minutes here.
But, you know, let me let me first go over Christopher Wray.
I mean, Christopher Ray in this interview with Brett Bear said, oh no, no, the FBI is not politicized, in spite of all the information to the contrary that we have.
He deflected when he was asked about the dual justice system that we know exists.
He, you know, he said the FBI has assessed COVID originated in a lab.
Okay, that was the one good thing he said.
He said, I'd not find uh found that the FBI tried to shut down the Hunter Biden investigation.
They've had the laptop for over three freaking years.
And you know, this is not just about Trump and Hillary and Biden and unequal justice under the law.
You know, under Ray's leadership, not only did he not clean up the FBI, remember the angry parents at the school board meetings being labeled potentially investigated for being domestic terrorists.
Remember traditional Catholics targeted at their place of worship?
Remember the dozens of Americans that had their bank records turned over to the FBI all because they took a bus to Washington, D.C. and went to a rally on January 6th.
They weren't part of what happened at the Capitol.
They went to the rally.
But if you tried to light a federal courthouse on fire in Portland or participated in any of the 574 violent riots in the summer of 2020, most of those people, hardly any faced any investigation or consequences.
You know, they also true if you firebombed an emergency pregnancy center or vandalized the church because out of 250 recent attacks, the FBI only brought charges against two of these violent criminals.
That's it.
They did manage to send a SWAT team in guns drawn to the home of a pro-life activist who lightly shoved another man who came up to him after an employee approached the protester.
You know, but don't expect an explanation from Chris Ray.
You know, the there they have one standard for conservatives and Republicans.
They get targeted.
You'll get arrested for spitting on the sidewalk and jaywalking.
You know, we've taken the world's premier or uh a law enforcement organization, and they have ruined it and ruined its reputation in the process.
You know, Christopher Ray avoiding all questions on Hunter's laptop that they've had for three plus years.
You know, he doesn't tell social media companies to censor, but the FBI is meeting weekly with big tech companies warning them they might be uh subject to misinformation from foreign countries.
You know, it doesn't answer the question if the FBI had assets at the Capitol on January 6th.
Why didn't you answer that question?
Now, I went over Christopher Ray and we only really touched the surface of this and how the FBI has been politicized.
Now we got a problem with the DOJ.
Now remember the DOJ and the FBI are both part of Joe Biden's executive branch of government.
Okay, that's very important.
Now, I could not believe what I heard at American Garland yesterday.
Um we played a lot of the Christopher Ray on TV and and on the show yesterday.
Let me play some Merrick Garland from yesterday.
This is Merrick Garland talking about how the fentanyl crisis unleashed on purpose by Mexican drug cartels.
Now keep in mind that the borders were secure under Donald Trump.
We didn't have open borders.
We didn't have five plus million people in two years entering this country illegally.
That's the key word here.
He's not enforcing the laws of this land.
He doesn't, as the attorney general, get to pick and choose what laws he's going to enforce and what laws he's not going to enforce.
And if we would secure the border, that would limit greatly the ability of the cartels to do human trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, heroin trafficking, cocaine trafficking, methamphetamine trafficking.
But he blames it on the Mexican cartels.
Fentanyl deaths are more than gun and accident deaths combined in the United States.
Did you know that?
Yes, sir.
I mean, this is how would you describe the fentanyl problem in America?
It's a horrible epidemic.
Okay.
Uh, but it's an epidemic that's been unleashed on purpose by the Sinaloa and the new generation of Jalisco cartels.
You're allowing it to happen, Mr. Attorney General.
You're the one that should be insisting that the laws of our country be upheld.
And you're allowing and facilitating a president to pick and choose what laws he he decides to enforce.
We should enforce all the laws.
You don't like the laws, immigration laws, then change them.
But right now it's illegal to enter the country without proper permission.
Now, oh, and this was one of my favorites too.
Then he says diplomatic concerns uh lay are at the heart of labeling Mexican cartels terrorist organizations.
Like we should give a damn about what Mexico thinks about us criticizing the cartels that are responsible for drug trafficking, human trafficking, murder, you name it.
They're there.
This is what he said.
Mexican drug cartels.
Should they be uh designated foreign terrorist organizations under U.S. law?
Yeah, I think it's the same answer I gave before.
They are ready uh designated in any number of ways and sanctioned by the Treasury.
Would you oppose some of us trying to make them foreign terrorist organizations?
I wouldn't oppose it, but again, um I want to point out their diplomatic concerns.
We need the assistance of Mexico in this and designating is Mexico helping us effectively with our fentanyl.
They are helping us, but they could do much more.
There's no question about that.
Well, if this is helping, I would hate to see what not helping looks like.
So the bottom line for me is they're not helping, and we need to upper game when it comes to fentanyl.
It's unbelievable to me.
Then Garland talks about how his Department of Justice has prosecuted more pro-life protesters because their actions uh are during the day.
What the FBI goes to sleep at night?
Explain that one to me.
Um I will say you're quite right.
There are many more prosecutions with respect uh to the um um blocking of the uh um of the abortion centers, but that is generally because they are those actions are taken in uh with photography at the time um uh uh during the daylight, and uh seeing the person who did it is uh quite easy.
Um those who are attacking the pregnancy resources centers, uh, which is uh a horrid thing to do, are doing this at night um in the dark.
We have put full resources on this.
Uh we have uh uh ask uh put uh um uh rewards out for this.
Listen to Ted Cruz's exchange with Merrick Garland.
This this is Ted Cruz at his finest.
Have you brought a single case against any of these protesters threatening the judgment justices under 18 USC Section 1507?
You brought even one.
Senator, you asked me whether I said on my hands and quite the opposite.
I sent 70 United States Marshall.
Try again.
Has the Department of Justice brought even a single case under this statute?
It's a yes-no question.
It's not a g give a speech on the other things you did.
The job of the United States Marshals is to defend the lives of the answer is no.
It's to defend the lives of the justices, and that's their number one priority.
They have you unwilling to say no.
The answer's no.
You know it's no, I know it's no.
Everyone in this in this hearing room knows it's no.
You're not willing to answer a question.
Have you brought a case under this statute?
Yes or no?
As I know we haven't.
As far I mean, look at what Ted Cruz has to go to.
Then this is this is a long SOP, but it's worth hearing.
Ted Cruz questioning Merrick Garland over the leaks in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Keep in mind the FBI has had the Hunter Biden laptop since December of 2019.
General Garland, the Department of Justice should enforce the law regardless of politics.
I do not believe that has been what is happening in the last two years.
Among other things, I believe you very much want to indict Donald J. Trump.
Toward that end, the Department of Justice has leaked that DOJ is investigating and intends to indict Hunter Biden.
The purpose of those leaks, I believe, was to set the predicate for an indictment of Trump to say, look how even-handed we are.
We're indicting a Biden, we're indicting a Trump.
Those leaks are not law or enforcing the law, they are politics.
Did you know about the leaks about the Hunter Biden investigation?
Uh I I don't know about the leak that you're talking about.
Um not uh leaks are in violation of our our regulations and our requirements.
So uh the answer is the leaks are consistently on one side of the aisle advancing one political agenda.
As you know, the FBI raided Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
And subsequent to that raid, there have been multiple leaks about what was discovered there, including a photograph of documents that were discovered there.
Did you know about the leaks?
The photo rate.
The photograph was a filing in court in response to a motion filed by Mr. Trump.
It was not a leak.
So you're testifying there haven't been leaks about the the Trump rate in vesticles?
I'm I'm responding to the point about the Do you know about the leaks that have occurred because of the case.
I've read the leaks, they are inappropriate.
We also don't know where they come from.
Uh witnesses on the uh but what's interesting is when the shoe was on the other foot, I believe your intention, and I believe it's a political intention to indict President Trump became infinitely harder when classified documents were discovered repeatedly at President Biden's multiple residences.
Wow.
Powerful moments by Ted Cruz.
You know, I will tell you this.
We're living in in very troubling times.
You have Washington and D.C., you got all these government officials, and they have all this power, and they have an agenda behind everything.
And that's the problem.
And then you have a media mob that is corrupt and a media mob that gets next to pretty much everything wrong.
Uh you know, we went through a list yesterday.
I could add a lot more to it.
You know, very few people in journalism are interested in Director Ray's disastrous interview with Brett Bear.
Very few are interested in what Merrick Garland had to say yesterday.
You know, they're not interested in holding government accountable.
The mob just echoes because they're all in you know ideological agreement together.
So they're not going to criticize the FBI for putting, you know, cinder blocks on the scales of an election uh by you know by uh meeting with big tech companies weekly saying, Oh, you might you might hear information about the Bidens as false.
You gotta be careful.
Then of course they knew Rudy eventually would leak the Hunter Biden laptop, and oh, well, that's that's this is what they were warning us about.
You know, it's unbelievable.
You know, all the reporters that failed to tell the truth.
You know, look at all these outlets that referred to the Wuhan lab leak as a debunk conspiracy theory.
Those that pushed the vaccine and the line that if you got the shot, you're never never gonna get COVID.
You know, remember, or the Russia collusion hoax.
When did the media ever get held accountable for that?
The New York Times wins a Pulitzer Prize, two of them, I think, for nothing but lies that they perpetrated for years.
MSDNC, Rachel Maddow, all these conspiracy theorists, everybody at fake news CNN.
You know, the dirty dossier discredited, but they had reported it as real.
You know, fake news reporting that the walls, you know, were closing in on Trump again and again and again.
You know, uh in 2014, CNM pushing the fake, you know, Michael Brown, hands up, don't shoot.
Well, we had our sources, we got that story right.
We got Richard Jewell's story right.
We got Nicholas Sandman's story right.
We didn't rush to judgment.
We got the Freddie Gray story right, they all got it wrong.
We got the Duke LaCrosse story right, they got it wrong.
We got the UVA story right, they got it wrong.
I mean, this happens again and again and again and again and again, and and they get away with it all.
The Wuhan lab about masks, about you know, uh taking the shot, not taking the shot, Ferguson, Missouri, Freddie Gray, anything and everything with Trump, starting with Russia collusion.
No, they get it wrong so often.
Oh, these are mostly peaceful protests, but behind the reporters on fake news CNN and MSDNC, the city's on fire.
But it's mostly peaceful, they told us at the time.
You know, don't let your eyes deceive you in in terms of seeing the truth.
You know, there's there's so many.
What about what about the the uh the immigration officers on horses?
Oh, they're whipping migrants.
That's not what happened.
And they were eventually exonerated, but they had to live with that lie for how long?
Richard Jewell was a hero, but he fit the profile of the lone bomber.
Nicholas Sandman approached this Native American.
No, he didn't.
He handled it perfectly.
And yet, you know, here we are as a country.
This is an information crisis on top of everything else.
You know, it's um it doesn't matter if it's the Mueller investigation, Russia collusion, doesn't matter, they don't have equal justice or application of our law.
None of this seems to matter.
You know, they're not they don't want to release any information about COVID, the NIH, the emails, what what did Fauci know?
The Senate, by the way, passed a bill to declassify any intelligence related to China's COVID lab.
Republicans, by the way, have notified Fauci he will be the focus of their the lab leak investigation that they're going to have.
You know, by the way, good piece by Betsy McCoy's who comes on this program.
Beware of the president's pending pandemic accord with the World Health Organization.
You know, the the premise is in a pandemic or worldwide disease emergency.
Americans should not get better or faster health care than inhabitants of other countries.
And Joe Biden wants the pledge to give a whopping 20% of our medical supplies in the middle of a pandemic, including diagnostic tests, antiviral medications, vaccines.

The answer is you have to say, stay so engaged and keep your elected officials responsible, and then Republicans have to overcome something that they've been resistant to overcome.
Not in states like Florida.
This resistance to vote by mail, this resistance to vote early has got to end.
And Republicans need to look at the laws in every state.
Because only, you know, one state, well, Florida really doesn't allow ballot harvesting, but they make it easy for people to vote.
But if their elections work out fine, Alabama's the only state that mandates every voter has to turn in their own ballot.
Anyway, they have to ensure whatever the ballot harvesting laws are, they've got to adopt the Democrats' strategy because Democrats don't run campaigns.
They don't kiss babies, they don't do speeches, they don't do town halls, they don't take selfies, they don't go to fairs, they hide, they run hundreds of millions of dollars in ads, and they run ballot harvesting operations based on the laws of their individual states.
Oh, by the way, get this.
