contemplated suicide import out his points to strangers on the internet has so many people do. he pictured himself at one point with a rifle and suggested he might have to go to g hard. when he did that a response from a woman he never heard of and the two never met in person but over time a very intense relationship develop. and she reaped professed her love and recorded it online for weeks but then got to stop writing and disappeared to. then a new woman took her place in this one began texting also. her name was john out. john and i wasn't romance. she told him that if he planned to kill himself, he might as well take some with them. when jihad on create or cause, that is the only time all that allows it. that is what she wrote, but eventually admitted that fantasized about killing people in a church near his pizza shop though he stressed he would

never actually do it. in fact he encouraged not to hurt anyone. days after he wrote that, the fbi arrested him and that is the women that he was texting didn't exist. they were fake. appropriations of the fbi. the bureau spent the entire year working to entrap a delivery boy and then created a honey trap to do it. this still didn't work. after all of that, did not have enough evidence to fire terrorist charges and nothing he said was criminal. he could have gone free but they couldn't let him go free. that would be too embarrassing for the federal government so they charged with a noncrime, unlawful possession of a fired arm under controlled substance. he didn't shoot anyone or brandished a gun. for that they sent him to prison for five years. and all of this thoroughly disgraceful chapter, law enforcement and to his

credit, understand that at the time. the channel point of the fbi does more than stop crime. sometimes the fbi creates crimes. "in four months, agents don't always played the dash they may offer the suspect opportunity to participate in a terrorist plot with fake bombs and real guns. court documents show and indeed court documents to show that and it's wrong. a law enforcement agency should never encourage anyone to break the law. it is protested and yet they do that. cnn once admitted that was happening and that it was a problem. but they won't admit it anymore. earlier this week we reported on this show that among those who stormed the capital on january 6th, they were appeared to be people working for the fbi. we didn't get that but concluded on the government's court filings thanks onto a piece in the revolver news. dozens of suspects, the fbi said serious crimes on january 6th

have not been charged with anything. they haven't been identified. why is that? likely because they were in contact with the fbi before they committed those crimes. that is the definition of corruption. you are working for the fbi so you are not charged for a crime. it is also, by the way, scary given the current climate, given january 6th as a pretext to strip law abiding americans have basic civil liberties. given that, we have an absolute right to know exactly what happened that day and the fbi's role in it. again, we believe the fbi had people on the ground, people who stormed the capital including -- the fbi did not deny it or comment on it. they don't have to. because this time they had cnn squarely on their side. watch the apologist for corrupt law enforcement and i something they couldn't possibly be in a position to verify either way. prepare yourself as you watch

this. this is an appalling performance. >> and now it's the fbi? tucker carlson's new baseless theory about the insurrection and spreading it knowing to people. a new conspiracy theory emerging on the attack of the u.s. capitol. directly from hate tv. >> this is the beginning of the new effort to rewrite what happened january 6th, even though it is wrong and here from one of her analyst, and possibly wrong. >> the whole crux of it, it was an fbi insider operation. clearly untrue, clearly untrue. totally baseless. >> when you say, again, it is insane to say the fbi did this. >> tucker: it is politically untrue. it is totally wrong. why don't you explain how? in almost two dozen people who have been identified as criminals not being charged, why is that exactly?

why don't you tell us? but they don't cure it and then chose to make obvious that cnn with a woke national security state which they do come at the channel to an invited former assistant director of the fbi from a man called chris swecker to assure that the fia did nothing wrong january 6th. not one bad thing. trust us. and of course see it until mike cnn it's good enough for cnn the change here is belligerent. it seems like just the other day, cnn's own cheap anchor telling us the shocking story of the attack in garland, texas. in which the fbi agents with the shooter words of encouragement. the fbi worked to make that shooting happened. that is not an exaggeration and even present a at the attack. watch. >> it turns out the agent did more than just communicate

online with elton simpson. in the affidavit filed in another case, the government disclosed that the fbi undercover agent had actually traveled to garland, texas, and was present at the event. the undercover agent was in a car directly behind colton simpson when they started shooting. this cell phone photo of security guard bruce joyner and greg stevens was taken by the undercover agent seconds before the attack. >> the idea that he's taking a photograph of the two people who happen to be attacked moments before they are attacked is stunning. >> if you are wondering what happened to the fbi's undercover agent, he fled the scene. stopped at gunpoint by garland police. this is video of him in handcuffs recorded by a local news crew. >> tucker: so tell us again how the fbi would never have anything to do with the attack

on the capital on january 6th? what you just saw were some of the counter terrorism attacks the fbi adopted after 9/11. all of us saw it happen. now, the bureau has changed its focus and no longer going after extremists. it is going after joe biden's political opponents, those domestic terrorists they have been telling you about. this is a nightmare. it is a nightmare for civil liberties. it's a threat to democracy itself. we should have seen it coming. we did not see it coming embarrassingly. a journalist who writes and will join us in a moment to explain what he thinks actually happened. in the meantime, the biden administration is not waiting. it has declared war on domestic terror. you may be in that category. we know the administration has released a document called "national strategy of terrorism" it means like a manual for targeting political opponent because that is exactly what it

is. if there is one story you should pay attention to this year, it is this one. it could affect you. a study of the document, studied a lot of american government documents and professor of political scientists at suffolk community college and he joins us now, professor, thank you so much for coming on. we want to talk to you. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: you like most people in the media read this document and this comes with joe biden signature on it. tell us what it means. >> this is actually one of the most concerning documents i have ever read altered by government officials. when you look at it, it is clear the analyst in the field, they didn't write this document. political appointees trying to push it and agenda. they list three factors to drive political racism. when you look at it, they never really define racism except for white supremacy, of course, and

superiority of white race. these are the same people that believe racism is inherent, you are born with it. if racism is inherent are we point domestic terrorists? it goes deeper that, antigovernment sentiment and this is where it gets dangerous. the antigovernment sentiment if you call for small limited government and you criticize the government in any way, are you going to be deemed as someone antigovernment sentiments? antiauthority? if you question government powers and push back against the government. if you look at the coronavirus and questioned the mandates that came out as unconstitutional, well, you are classified as antiauthority. sit back. over 1200 public health officials signed a letter stating if you protest lockdowns, that is white nationalism. so we have these big terms that are being used and it really could encompass anything. in the document, it talks about

violence. we all abhor violence and it should not be tolerated in any way. this document goes much further. it talks about incitement and what can incitement domestic terrorism. it does not give explanation except for the fact the government the powers that be will determine what "insight" means. but on page ten it has a few examples if you question 2020 election or if you talk about covid and questioned the mandates that came out, conspiracies, and gauging what the government deems conspiracy, that can incite domestic terrorism and therefore you can get punished for it. if you put out a tweet talking about election fraud, are you going to be labeled a domestic terrorist? and then the document lays out the four pillars and how it's going to come back and pushback against domestic terrorism. you see widespread monitoring of american civilians. you see a partnership with big tech, the financial sector to

give up america's private information. you see censorship. the supply and demand online and that means limited through censorship. it talks about encouraging individuals and families trying to recruit them. when we look at that, what do we mean by that? i remember in vermont when the government tried to do that. we take dominic say these abuses taking place but it's a political agenda. and we talk about the agenda, pushing it by crt. >> tucker: it is a fascinating document. what you are describing. and they are pushing the country toward something awful. this country was divided election day and still more divided. it is starting to scare people, including me. professor, thank you. >> absolutely. >> tucker: we will have greenwald later in the show but one of the basic needs of any state government is keep the

lights on. power, energy, how you run your lights, california can't do that. and just some very bad news for people who lived there. we will tell you what it is. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> tucker: so if you have watched other american media outlets this week, you know for a fact no possibility of the fbi had foreknowledge of the events of january 6 at the u.s. capitol nor anyone in the pump have contact with the fbi before the event. we believe otherwise given the fbi's long track record, glenn greenwald is one of the people covering the fbi's behavior with antiterrorism efforts very closely for a long time. we want to get his assessment and we are right now. glenn, thank you for coming on tonight. give us some perspective. we are hearing anybody who has questions about why two dozen participants have not been charged on january 6th is a conspiracy monger and a lunatic and a soldier and the trump army. it is they are based on to ask that question may be?

>> of course the first war on terror and this is the second war on terror, the domestic version. and contained very little other domestically than the fbi targeting people that they viewed as easily manipulated or otherwise vulnerable and planting informants or other operatives within a certain ring of typically american young ones, encouraging them to join a pot that was devised and designed by the fbi, often paying for at the fbi to get the material and everything else and then boasting about the plot they broke up and came from the fbi. the vast majority of times that you heard the fbi applauding for having stop domestically was actually a plot they themselves governed and directed with informants and operatives exactly the type we know for certain that they put into the proud boys and the three-person tours, to have the three groups

they claim behind january 6th. the only way to claim this kind of crazy conspiracy theory is if you are completely ignorant about what the fbi does or lying on purpose to cover up what the fbi does when asked domestically. >> tucker: but if you are a journalist, why would you ever lie on behalf of the law enforcement agent, government law enforcement agent? would you choose to protect the fbi over in forming your viewers? >> i think this is the key point, tucker. the structure of probably all of these outlets that are now serving a liberal audience in the united states, which is "the washington post," "new york times," cnn, and not just saying that but the data shows that. during the trump the cia became overwhelmingly popular among the liberals. they worship the fbi and the cia because they viewed the bulwark against trump. if you are starting a liberal audience, the last thing you

know your audience wants to hear and the audiences disappeared so they are petrified of them come is anything questioning of were critical of the fbi on top of ws are filled on their payroll with former operatives of the fbi and cia. cnn to cover the story who did they invite on? chris como said michael lake the former direct deputy director of the fbi. what journalist talks to the fbi to get the truth about the fbi when the question is is the fbi being truthful or acting less than scrupulous. these are constructed to serve this worshipful view of the fbi and cia. and say it should never be questioned. so many of the falls conspiracy theories spreading it and doing it again. >> tucker: so they are serving openly, serving institutional power against the population? >> if you go and google and i

hope your viewers do operation mockingbird, what you will find during the cold war these agencies use to plot how to clandestinely manipulate the news media to disseminate propaganda to the american population. they used to try to do it secretly. they don't even do it secretly anymore. they don't need operation mockingbird come but they put john brennan who works for nbc and james clapper for cbn and right on the payroll of these organizations and shamed the news openly to manipulate and to see the american population and so americans are wondering what foreknowledge and involvement did the fbi have january 6th. if you go and listen to the networks, you will get lies because the only people they are asking serving those agencies and acting to disseminate the information and that's what the outlets are. >> tucker: man, that is shocking, shocking to me.

glenn, i appreciate you coming on tonight. think it's much. >> good to be her, tucker. >> tucker: it does make you wonder about matt gaetz actually. do you remember matt gaetz? he was engaged in child sex trafficking. we know matt gaetz went after the national security repeatedly and they told us he was a sex trafficker, we don't know but if he is, why isn't he charged at? do you ever wonder that? are you allowed to leak derogatory information against a sitting member of congress because you don't like his criticism of view and then not charge him? what is going on here? well, work and neighbors to the south are california and experiencing a crisis tonight. the california officials alerted residents expect "rotating power outages thursday evening." what? the biggest state in the country can't keep the power on? yeah, california poured money into renewables as part of the new green deal and they are not

working. kim falcon wants to fix the state of california a former mayor of san diego running for governor and joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. this seems like the most basic failure. you can't keep the power on? what is this? >> thank you, tucker. you are absolutely right one of the basis don't like basic functions a state. can't keep the lights on in california. by the way, it's not a surprise, it keeps happening year after year here has one party rule continues to fail the state. and it seems like power, skyrocketing homelessness, crimes rising in california. once again, gavin newsom has no solutions with californians the beginning of the summer and seniors don't use your air-conditioning. it is a failure on so many levels. >> tucker: why do people put up with this? always? always accompanying with scolding like it's your fault. you used too much electricity!

why do people keep electing gavin newsom? >> they are getting fed up. as all of us know in california, they were a reason why 2 million californians signed a recall petition and the recall is qualified in california. and oh, by the way, 2 million folks democrats, republicans, independents, all folks who want a change at the top of california because they are tired of it. they want actual leadership here they want someone to roll up their sleeves. and like we did and sandia go where we didn't allow on the sidewalk ten spirit and make government it's not okay to have the lights go off in the summer. and the most innovative state in the country. so yes we are fighting for the california come back here that is what this election in california will all about. >> tucker: man come i hope you can do it. the basics like electricity, we don't want our parks to be -- basic stuff, you can't shoplift.

[laughter] it's unbelievable. kevin faulconer, mayor of san diego come appreciate it. >> things, tucker. >> tucker: the jeffrey epstein story has receded from public. why is that? the basic questions, how did jeffrey epstein get so rich and who protected him? we are learning a little more that we want to bring. dozens of his victims join us to pick away at this mystery. we will be right back. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: a lot of people in this country are waking up to the fact that silicon valley monopolies are bad for america. they are bad for the economy. they are bad for our culture. they destroyed the bill of rights. nothing about monopolies is good and that's why we have antitrust -- and breaking up monopolies a hundred years ago. and just come from someone with a federal trade commission in

silicon valley. vowed to reshape laws to take down this tech monopoly to break them up. a law review article outlining amazon's predatory practices and how to change policy to stop them. good for her. this past week, members of both parties announced their support for a package of antitrust legislation come a long overdue. monopolies, clear monopolies like google, amazon, apple, facebook would be broken up with these laws were enacted. one bill called the ending platform monopolies act will break up companies who use control over market like e-commerce to extort and destroy competitors and other industries. this is what monopolies do every time. again, you can't have a free market with monopoly. that is econ 101. so you would think house republican leader kevin mccarthy would be excited by all of this. he's a capitalist. he's been telling you he's worried about the dangers of big

tech monopolies for years. and bipartisan support to do something about it. wear gray though, kevin mccarthy as opposed to this antitrust legislation. how is that, how can that be, here is one potential explanation, kevin mccarthy with top outside advisors, jeff miller. who is jeff miller? a lobbyist for amazon and apple, making a lot of money doing that. financial records say the web services paid is for more than $400,000 in recent years. with amazon web services hosting the entire internet. if they don't like you for political reasons like they didn't like parlor, they turn off the lights and shut you down and stop your business. they can do that and they have. apple meanwhile is paid the firm more than $600,000 from 2019-2021 and congressional sources say that miller has been calling offices on capitol hill and ask them to them not to support the antitrust bill. this is kevin mccarthy's closest advisor. are you shocked give a

mccarthy is doing what his corporate clients wanting to do? maybe you shouldn't be, once with a guy with pharma in writing on ways to blame the op weight addicts who were dying of sentinel with their own deaths. kevin mccarthy is publicly advertising his services to big tech for years and in 2014 politico for example, mccarthy was described as self-employed ambassador to silicon valley for house republicans in charge of "trying to woo the industry." so he's making good on those promises but the problem is to the tech monopolies are actually a threat to the country. if you care about democracy, you need to break up the monopolies. if you care what the economy seem to think. kevin mccarthy is busy tweeting about juneteenth. maybe he doesn't want you to notice sec commissioner appointed by the commissioner is doing more to break up these

monopolies in the republican leader of the house of representatives. a new piece in "vanity fair" magazine, this is a good piece. outlines how jeffrey epstein made some of the most powerful friends and how he managed to stay so protected for so long even if he was molesting children. the piece is called the mobile and the monster peered inside jeffrey epstein's decade-long relationship. we are learning more about the people jeffrey epstein targeted. a lord you're representing 67 of jeffrey epstein's alleged victims. she is the coauthor of relentless pursuit of our battle with jeffrey epstein. we are happy to have her on. thank you for joining us so much. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: it is our pleasure. this is an interesting story and under covered for whatever reason. let's start with the "vanity fair" piece. i know other knowledge other than the story, but it says that

close circuit tv footage from jeffrey epstein's property. will we ever find out exactly who was involved in whatever scam he was running and what they did? >> those are exactly the questions we want answers to. we believe the people of power that were in his orbit. the people in the dining room who are seeing things happening, if they would come forward and share what they know. if they aren't themselves abusers or enablers of the abuse, there is no reason they shouldn't do that. there are ongoing criminal investigations, which of course, we can't discuss of much tonight but those investigations that we hope there will be answers to your questions. >> tucker: do you have any idea what bill clinton was doing there? some english prance? not just a few but a lot, very famous people hanging around jeffrey epstein. it wasn't sex i assume but something else? >> there have been some accused

by women such as virginia roberts giuffre of sexual misconduct. there are a number of individual flying on jeffrey epstein's full private plane inference with this exciting and energetic person who were not themselves abusers. and we think as representatives of victims and speaking for the victims who themselves believe is important to kind of distinguish between the tabloid information and really to distill down he was abusing women. we think those other individuals who have power and had money and were hanging around but not doing anything wrong, those are the people that now can help piece together the last stages of this investigation and really help us obtain justice for women who have been fighting two decades to do just that. >> tucker: boy am i really appreciate how precise you are about that and how direct and honest you were. people who didn't do anything wrong shouldn't be accused of wrongdoing and that is an
