and later we ll show how one brave good samaritan took matters into his own hands by chasing down a violent robbery suspect. but first tonight, tensions remain very high only one week after the fbi s raid on the 45th president s home, mar-a-lago. now, this unprecedented search and seizure has further eroded sadly many americans trust in the fbi and the doj and is now causing the outrage all across the country. make no mistake, the fbi has earned their shattered reputation and tonight we re going to break down very specifically why conservatives, and trump supporters and many republicans no longer trust what should have been and should be and can be and once was the premier law enforcement agency in the entire world. let me be clear. and this is very important. criticizing and questioning the atrocious behavior of the upper echelon of the fbi is not in any way, shape, manner or form, a call to violence. just today, fox news is learning that former president trump directed his
call to violence. just today, fox news is learning that former president trump directed his team to reach out to the department of justice, the message, donald trump will do whatever he can to help our country because, quote, the temperature has to be brought down. now, president trump is right. on this program we totally condemn all threats against the fbi and every other member of law enforcement. you watch this show, we are consistent. no doubt there are cops that are bad apples. we saw that in the george floyd case. they commit crimes, abuse their power and target their political enemies. those people must all be held accountable in a court of law, and that would also apply to bad apples in the fbi. now, sadly, that almost never happens. if donald trump or a trump supporter is the target of the abuse. for example, take a look at former fbi official peter strzok, think deeply go back to august 8, 2016, his girlfriend
