>>> SO, I HAD THIS SEGMENT LAID OUT WHERE I WAS GOING TO CALL OUT ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE PROLONGING THIS PANDEMIC WITH PHONY COVID CURES AND ANTIVACCINE GARBAGE. I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT EX-FOOTBALL PLAYER AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR U.S. SENATE IN GEORGIA HERSCHEL WALKER WHO RAVED ABOUT WHAT HE CALLS A DRY MIST THAT CAN KILL COVID IN AN INTERVIEW IN 2020. >> THEY CAN BRING YOU INTO A BUILDING THAT WILL CLEAN YOU FROM COVID AS YOU WALK THROUGH THIS MIST. AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR IT WILL KILL ANY COVID ON YOUR BODY, EPA, FDA APPROVED. WHEN YOU LEAVE, IT WILL KILL THE VIRUS. THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. >> MAYBE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK. NOW, I WAS GOING TO POINT OUT THAT WALKER WAS TALKING TO RIGHT-WING PERSONALITY GLENN BECK WHO SAYS HE'S UNVACCINATED AND ANNOUNCED THIS PAST WEEK THAT HE HAS CAUGHT THE VIRUS FOR A SECOND TIME. >> IT'S NOW INTO MY LUNGS TODAY, AND IT'S A LITTLE DISTURBING. BUT I'M ON ALL THE MEDICATION AND TREATMENT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THE MONOCLONAL DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING FOR THE NEW STRAIN. I'M ON IVERMECTIN, HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, WHAT IS IT, FLUVOXAMINE. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY, GLENN, THE, I DID MY OWN RESEARCH CROWD, HAS ALREADY MOVED ON TO VIAGRA. AND, HEY, WHY NOT MENTION THE GUY IN ALABAMA TELLING PEOPLE TO DRINK THEIR OWN URINE TO CURE COVID? >> THE ANTIDOTE THAT WE'VE SEEN NOW -- AND WE HAVE TONS AND TONS OF RESEARCH -- IS URINE THERAPY. AND I KNOW A LOT OF YOU THIS SOUNDS CRAZY. BUT GOD'S GIVEN US EVERYTHING WE NEED. >> PLEASE DON'T DO THAT EITHER. ALL OF THIS TO REITERATE THE POINT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK OR FIND FAME ON THE INTERNET OR DO WHAT WE HEAR IN WASHINGTON SO OFTEN, PEOPLE FUNDRAISING FOR THEIR POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, A POINT RAISED BY DR. ANTHONY FAUCI IN HIS FIERY EXCHANGE WITH REPUBLICAN SENATOR RAND PAUL LAST WEEK. >> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE GETS OUT AND ACCUSES ME OF THINGS THAT ARE COMPLETELY UNTRUE IS THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT KINDLES THE CRAZIES OUT THERE, AND I HAVE THREATS UPON MY LIFE, HARASSMENTS OF MY FAMILY AND MY CHILDREN WITH OBSCENE PHONE CALLS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LYING ABOUT ME. SO I ASK MYSELF, WHY WOULD SENATOR WANT TO DO THIS? SO GO TO RAND PAUL WEBSITE, AND YOU SEE FIRE DR. FAUCI WITH A LITTLE BOX THAT SAYS, CONTRIBUTE HERE. YOU CAN DO $5, $10, $20, $100. SO YOU ARE MAKING A CATASTROPHIC EPIDEMIC FOR YOUR POLITICAL GAIN. >> AND ALL OF THAT FUNDRAISING MAY BE GREAT FOR YOUR RE-ELECTION, BUT IT WON'T SAVE LIVES. THE VACCINE WILL. THE WAR ON SCIENCE AND OUR SCIENTISTS AND ON THE TRUTH IT'S KILLING US. I WAS GOING TO GET INTO ALL OF THAT, AND I SUPPOSE I JUST DID. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED LAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING AND SERVED AS A REMINDER OF THIS ONGOING WAR ON OUR DEMOCRACY, WHICH IS STILL IN PERIL TODAY. THURSDAY AFTERNOON WAS WHEN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED THAT THE LEADER OF THE FAR-RIGHT GROUP THE OATH KEEPERS AND TEN OTHERS HAD BEEN CHARGED WITH SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY FOR THEIR ALLEGED ACTIONS ON JANUARY 6th. THE GROUP'S LEADER STEWART RHODES TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS TO PREPARE FOR A BLOODY AND DESPERATE FIGHT. ANOTHER DEFENDANT IS ACCUSED OF GOING ON A RECON MICHIGAN TO WAF JUST AFTER THE ELECTION. FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS SAY SOME OF THOSE CHARGES, STOCKPILED WEAPONS IN A HOTEL. WAS TO STOP THE TRANSFER OF POWER TO PRESIDENT BIDEN. I INTERVIEWED RHODES BACK IN 2019, AND AT THE TIME HE SAID THIS ABOUT HIS ORGANIZATION. >> OUR ROLE IS NOT TO BE OBEDIENT TO WHOEVER HAPPENS TO BE THE LEADER, OUR ROLE IS TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC. >> ARE THE OATH KEEPERS A MILITIA GROUP? >> NO. WE DON'T NEED TO BE. WE'RE THE MILITARY AND POLICE. >> DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC, HE ONCE TOLD ME. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT IN THE VIDEO FROM JANUARY 6th. NOT A LOT OF OATH KEEPING GOING ON THERE. NOW, RHODES HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY. HE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. BUT THESE NEW CHARGES RUN COUNTER TO WHAT TUCKER CARLSON HAS BEEN SAYING. WHERE ARE ALL THE SEDITION CHARGES, HE HAS ASKED. >> OH, IT WAS AN INSURRECTION. SO HOW MANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THAT INSURRECTION HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTING, WITH SEDITION, WITH TREASON? ZERO, BY THE BIDEN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, SAID THEY'VE BEEN CHARGED WITH EFFECTIVELY TRESPASSING. >> I GUESS TUCKER FORGOT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS COURT DOCUMENTS ENTERED IN THE OATH KEEPERS' CASE SHOWING WHAT APPEARS TO BE GUN CASES BEING MOVED AROUND THAT HOTEL IN VIRGINIA. FOR TOURISTS, IT WAS A LOT OF LUGGAGE. THE OATH KEEPERS WERE SPOTTED HANGING WITH TRUMP ADVISER ROGER STONE OUTSIDE THE WILLARD HOTEL ON JANUARY 6th. STONE, WHO ARE HAS DENIED ANY WRONGDOING, TOLD REPORTERS LAST MONTH HE PLEADED THE FIFTH TO THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE. >> IN FULFILLMENT OF A FEDERAL SUBPOENA, I DID MY CIVIC DUTY, AND I RESPONDED AS REQUIRED BY LAW. [ INAUDIBLE ] I DID INVOKE MY FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO EVERY QUESTION. >> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME WILLARD HOTEL WHERE TRUMP ALLIES LIKE JOHN EASTMAN, RUDY GIULIANI, AND OTHERS, ACCORDING TO THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE WERE WORKING ON A PLAN TO HAVE THEN VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TOSS OUT THE OFFICIAL ELECTORS THAT WOULD MAKE BIDEN PRESIDENT IN FATE OF A DIFFERENT. THIS REVELATION BY AMERICAN OVERSIGHT INVOLVING TRUMP ALLIES WHO SENT PHONY DOCUMENTS -- THERE THEY ARE -- TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES, DECLARING THAT TRUMP WON A BUNCH OF KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES INSTEAD OF BIDEN. YES, THAT HAPPENED. THE BOGUS DOCUMENTS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN SENT FROM LOCAL GOP OPERATIVES POSING AS ELECTORS IN PLACES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA AND ARIZONA. THESE DOCUMENTS ARE FAKE. REPORTERS IN ARIZONA CAUGHT UP WITH ONE OF THAT STATE'S GOP LAWMAKERS WHO SIGNED THESE DOCUMENTS POSING AS AN ALTERNATE ELECTOR FOR TRUMP. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO HIM FOR COMMENT, HAVE NOT HEARD BACK, BUT HERE'S HOW HE EXPLAINS IT. >> WHAT AUTHORITY DID YOU FIND YOURSELF AS AN ELECTOR? >> SO IN UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, UNPRECEDENTED ACTION, THERE IS NO CASE LAW, THERE IS NO PRECEDENT THAT EXISTS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT AN ELECTION THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING LITIGATED IN THE COURTS HAS DUE STANDING, WHICH IS WHY WE FELT IT APPROPRIATE TO PROVIDE CONGRESS AND THE VICE PRESIDENT WITH DUELING OPINIONS. >> DID YOU HAVE DIRECTION FROM ANYBODY IN DOING THIS? WAS IT YOU YOURSELF DOING THIS? OR DID SOMEONE GIVE YOU ADVICE ON THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU COULD DO IT? >> I WAS ONE OF THE ELECTORS. I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF THE ELECTOR. >> HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT? WERE YOU JUST TOLD TO BE SOMEWHERE? >> YOU WOULD NEED TO ASK THE PARTY CHAIR THAT. >> PHONY ELECTORS, A FAKE CURE FOR TRUMP'S REAL ELECTION LOSS, KIND OF LIKE THE IVERMECTIN OF OUR DEMOCRACY. >>> BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2020 WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAYLEIGH McENANY TOLD -- >> THE ONLY METRO AREAS WHERE JOE BIDEN BEAT HILLARY CLINTON IRONICALLY IN THOSE STATES THERE HAS BEEN AN ALTERNATE SLATE OF ELECTORS VOTED UPON THAT CONGRESS WILL DECIDE IN JANUARY. >> ALL OF THIS RAISES A CRUCIAL QUESTION THAT'S AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING, WHAT EXACTLY WAS TRUMP DOING DURING THE INSURRECTION? HE WAS LETTING IT PLAY OUT ON TV, WE KNOW. ONE FORMER WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT. BUT TRUMP WAS ALSO TALKING TO KEVIN McCARTHY. HE MADE THE CHOICE TO SERVE AS TRUMP'S LACKIE, ANNOUNCED HE WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY COOPERATE WITH THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE. HE HIGH-TAILED IT OUT OF A NEWS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK AFTER BEING PRESSED ON HOW HE ONCE SAID HE WOULD COOPERATE. HE JUST COULDN'T HANDLE THE QUESTIONS, JUST LIKE TRUMP, WHO COULD NOT DEFEND THE BIG LIE ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO. >> HOW COME WHEN HE WENT TO SPEAK IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, NOBODY CAME TO WATCH? BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GOT 80 MILLION VOTES? >> IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME, MAYBE BECAUSE THE ELECTION WAS ABOUT YOU. ARE YOU TELLING REPUBLICANS IN 2022 THAT THEY MUST PRESS YOUR CASE ON THE PAST ELECTION IN ORDER TO GET YOUR ENDORSEMENT? IS THAT AN ABSOLUTE -- >> THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO. PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIG THIS ISSUE IS, AND THEY DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. AND THE ONLY WAY IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN IS YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RIGGED ELECTION OF 2020. >> MR. PRESIDENT, IF I -- WHOA, ONE MORE QUESTION I WANT TO ASK ABOUT A COURT HEARING YESTERDAY ON JANUARY 6th. JUDGE EMIT META, HE'S GONE. >> YEAH, HE HUNG UP. THAT'S BECAUSE ALL OF THE LIES ARE CATCHING UP WITH THE LORD OF THE LIES. TRUMP, HIS ADVISERS, HIS ALLIES IN CONGRESS AND ON CONSERVATIVE MEDIA. THEY ARE ALL DROWNING IN TRUMP'S SWAMP OF LIES. AND THAT SWAMP IS NOT DRAINING. BUT THERE IS A CURE FOR WHAT
