Washington tonight. Theyre making lists. Thats the focus of tonights ngel. We dont trust the Bush Administration to protect our Civil Liberties period. They abuse their power uncovered. They abuse their power in the way they handled the january six situation and they trash our countrys history every chance they get after 13 months of president biden, americans have every reason to be suspicious of anything they do that involves collecting information about americans. Im talking about lists, databases or surveillance of anything including your Health Records or social media history. Lets face it, they treat half of the country as theyre the mortal enemy, a threat to be controlled not a constituency to be served. Now when the school, crt and assault issues bubbled up in the us , democrats finally found themselves on the defensive and then bidens attorney general merrick garland, he swooped in to flex the power of the federal Law Enforcement. His words at the time are meant to intimidate and scare parents. If youre upset and angry at the direction your school board is taking and you show up and you speak your mind as is your constitutional right, by the way, now you have to be worried about being caught up in some bogus domestic terror dragnet. And rather than treat january 6th as a protest that got way out of hand with some criminal elements, no doubt the Obama Administration and their Media Cronies insisted on claiming that it was an insurrection and treating everyone who supported President Trump as a traitor, not the solution to this reach mcnellis America States and occupy not only a place on our calendar but a place in our collective memory. December seven, 1941, september 11 , 2001 and january six. 2020 one borders on sedition. Heres how the biden team looks at the world. They believe that most people who support the gop are dange risk. Theyre dangerous elements that need to be policed and watched. Now enter the Extremism Review that Generals Austin and milley undertook of the armed forces after january six. So rather than focusing sharply on real problems, they use vague language to essentially smear huge swaths of the American Public and the military. Now in a sense they hung out a conservative need not apply sign at the pentagon. Now who knows what files are amassing on soldiers, airmen and marines who they deem to be potential problem. Now maybe they posted pro trump stuff or photos from trump rallies on social media, who knows, but which group has been subjected to more scrutiny under often our own troops or the nearly Eighty Five Thousand afghan refugees they airlifted to the United States . Well, i think we know the answer to that question. And president ial wannabe budha judge, he feels where the winds are blowing in his party and he wants to get in on the action as Transportation Secretary is planning to blanket americas roads with more surveillance cameras, billions and billions of Dollars Worth supposedly told to cut down on traffic deaths. You know he is a humanitas. But of course what they really want is fewer cars and fewer car owners. They want to make it so expensive, so cumbersome to drive and own a vehicle that only the truly responsible elites can do so now and it gets worse and worse. Which brings us to the huge story we brought you last night courtesy of our friends at the Washington Free beacon and republican congressman that the u. S. Government is storing just under one billion Gun Purchase Files and digitizing them presumably for Search Ability down the road now by the atf in a letter to our next guest insists that such recordkeeping was approved by congress, including the process of digitization during 2020 one they collected data on Fifty Four Million gun owners, but they waived away any concern of nefarious intent writing the sole purpose of these systems is to trace firearms used in crimes, which is a valuable gun intelligence tool used in thousands of investigations by atf and our local, state and federal Law Enforcement partners. In other words, because of all the good faith theyve shown their fellow americans where youre supposed to take them at their word. This is all for benign purposes, this massive log of Gun Purchases if not a significant leap toward the ultimate goal of a national gun registry. Sorry, but they do not deserve the benefit of the out. Of course we know that all the people with the power the Democrat Party hate guns and would love nothing more to confiscate as many as possible under whatever pretext the Supreme Court would allow them to do so. Dont take my word for it. Take theirs. The Second Amendment from the day it was passed limited type of people could only go through what type of weapon you could own where there is room under the law for the president s policies to be pursued, then i think the president is entitled to pursue them. Gun owners out there who say well by an Administration Means theyre going to come for my gun. Bingo. Youre right. If you have an assault weapon. Now academics also have been working on many different legal theories to effectively ban guns in the United States. They invoke the fight against skyrocketing gun violence as if crimes are committed by the guns themselves and not the Revolving Door of criminals that rampage through america courtesy of left wing days, the democrat mayors give a rip about crime. If they did, they wouldnt be empowering the blm crowd at the expense of the public safety. Your Second Amendment rights. I hate to break it to mean nothing to them. They stop Church Attendance protected by the First Amendment over a pandemic. You dont think theyd try to stop Gun Ownership protected by the Second Amendment over an epidemic of violence . Gun violence in this country is an epidemic is an epidemic for gods sake. And it has to stop biden himself and his supporters in the media frequently bemoan the growing lack of public trust in government. Its growing across party lines, but the Bush Administration dont have anyone to blame except themselves because along away, as ive demonstrated tonight , theyve shown so much bad faith and so many different contexts from our intel agencies to the Public Health sector to Law Enforcement and even a previously innocuous Department Of Transportation on republicans in congress, especially when they take back power, they need to exercise strict oversight over every aspect of this biden team and they need to prohibit and defund every action and every policy that undermines our basic constitutional rights. There are a lot of such actions and policies and thats the angle. Joining me now, the lawmaker who led the investigation into the atf massive database of gun owners, texas congressman michael cloud. Now, congressman, the atf says that the records are totally permissible to be held under federal law and that theyre there to help solve crimes. But they also admit that they have no data on crime solved as a result of this information. So what the heck is really going on here . Yeah, you said it exactly right. And heres quoting from their letter. It says the atf has no ability to determine the successful prosecution of hundreds of thousands of crime gun traces. And so we sent a letter we got were working with Gun Owners Of America and other Second Amendment groups about the fact the Biden Administration collected Fifty Four Million records in the last year. We thought that was astronomical. And so we sent a letter and you know how these things go. Sometimes you get a letter back when you start an investigation, sometimes you dont. Well, we got a letter back in. Boy, was it shocking over one billion records that the atf has and you know, its illegal for the federal government to have a federal gun registry a lot of americans are wondering when does this database become a registry . Well, the Digitization Process is something that they say is permitted under federal law that this is theres nothing unusual about that. But is your main concern that these people cannot be trusted given what their view is of the constitution . The president today said he refers to the Un Enumerated Rights in the constitution. So if they get some judge say to say the right to safety means your right to Gun Ownership has to be curtailed, then his next nominee to the court could very well vote that way down the road and goodbye Second Amendment. Well, we understand that the constitution was put to put limiting restraints on a federal government strictly for these purposes and you nailed it on the head in the angle when you talked about the American People. You know, theyve seen over the last year the Biden Administration target parents that School Board Meetings labeling them domestic terrorists. Weve seen the Department Of Defense want to investigate military people serving in uniform. Weve seen the Department Of Justice stand up to the department, to domestic terrorism to look into that. And so weve seen in the past weve seen the irs target conservatives. Weve seen the fbi, the fbi. Theyre supposed to be the Law EnforcementBranch Target a political candidate for president. And so this is where the American People are going. We cant trust this. And i can tell you i serve on the Oversight Committee and ive learned that , you know, when youre when you hear an agency saying theres nothing to see here, if youre like maybe thats where we should be looking. Well, congressman, during the lockdowns during the blm riots that just destroyed block after block and major american cities, it scared people. And as a result, people are buying a lot more guns. The owner of this and shooter supplies indoor range and the plain illinois told Fox Firearm Sales were up 200 percent from 2019 to 2020 pretty much kept pace throughout 2020 one. So if the biden team really wanted to reduce the number of guns being sold in the United States, wouldnt they support policies that actually work to keep criminals in prison for the Biden Administration come out and say that they think that theyre suddenly supporting Law And Order in this country is almost laughable at this moment. We cant keep track of whos coming across our border, but we can track a billion gun records. This is is the American People get this and like you said, were seeing crime go up in cities because were not enforcing the law. So criminals seem to have more rights than law abiding citizens. The Incentive Structure on Law And Order has been reversed under this administration and so rightfully so. Americans are concerned and were asking those questions to congress when republicans really quickly and republicans get power back , which we assume they will in november will you move to defund the Atf Digitization and massive Gun Purchase Orders that theyre currently undertaking . Again, they say totally under federal law its okay. Will you move to change that law . Well, i can tell you were not even going to wait for that where were already continuing the investigation. Were right now forming our response to their response. Were crafting legislation thats going to deal with this right now. And so well keep you posted on the progress. Youre definitely not going to let this one go time to defund all the all the problems without the bad actors and get that right. Congressman, thank you. And so what happens when Society Loses trust in its institutions of power . Well, things like this start to look really suspicious. Today the houston pd began training ops with the Department Of Defense. These operations will go on for nearly two weeks and residents may see helicopters throughout the day and hear unusual noises. Police were very quick to note that this has nothing to do with world events. Hmm. What an odd detail to include. Its even more bizarre. Police officials said there will be no public opportunities to view the training they just have to pay for it with their tax dollars. Here now is Hoover Institution senior fellow victor davis hanson. Victor, were told that this has happened in the past. This federal, state and local coordination of resources but wasnt just a few years ago that , you know, joe bidens party was bemoaning the militarization of our Police Forces after the Michael Brown killing in ferguson. Well, especially remember the retired officers trump for even thinking about using federal troops to quell the violence in summer of 2020. But in june of june of this year, the white house announced the military would be looking at domestic terrorists. I think thematic in this whole discussion, laura , is this idea eternal idea of the left because theyre so morally superior or they say they can use any means necessary for their ends and it really you go back it really started with the Obama Administration and for i mean, they went after the Associated Press reporters communications. You remember they went after fox is james rosen, the head of the cia. John brennan lied under oath when he denied that they were spying on the Senate Staffer computers. James clapper, the director of national intelligence, lied when he was asked about the nsa surveilling people. James comey, the fbi was completely went rogue. We have the Kleinsmith Alteration of the fisa document. There were no consequences. And then when you look at the traditional watchdogs, the left always used to brag we have law facultys. We have democratic senior senators, we have the aclu and you look at those institutions and theyre on the side of the surveillance. The aclu has degenerated into an activist left wing political group. And you know, we have people in the media that outwardly and explicitly saying were not going to cover the news like we used to. Jim rutenberg, christiane amanpour, hogy ramos we have to be biased because theres churches in the nineteen seventy five watchdog committees when you add Silicon Valley in the in the equation and they electronics, electronics and weaponizes at fabulous speeds and surveillance and coverage new technology and theyre all left and they merged at the hip with washington. Its pretty scary whats happened. Well you would not be surprised probably that maybe some in our audience would victor that fbi director christopher wray, he decided to blame one particular group for his agencys plummeting credibility. Watch political controversies and even controversies specifically invest impact in the fbi have been around for One Hundred And Thirteen years. What has changed is that were now having all that play out against the backdrop of 24 7 Cable Coverage and more importantly ubiquitous social media and in other words justifying the control of Quote MisinformationersFavorite Buzzword of late of the little mini tyrants. The totality. Yeah, i would say to director ray just just ensure that your lawyers dont alter documents in front of a federal judge to ensure that your former director doesnt lie to a federal investigator like Andrew Mccabe did on three occasions ensure that james comey doesnt have amnesia and says he cant remember Two Hundred Forty Five times under oath when asked about the dossier to make sure that robert mueller, the distinguished ex fbi director, when he asked under oath what the steele dossier was infused in that birthed his
