House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being criticized for hiding her role in the security breakdowns on Jan. 6, and some allegations say she may be culpable for the chaos. Republicans are trying to obtain documents on Pelosi’s role, and claim that the effort is being blocked. Investigations into the security failures, and failures in the roles who were overseeing security, could turn this into an investigation similar to those of Hillary Clinton’s role in the Benghazi security failures.
Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are beginning to flip the narrative on COVID-19 vaccinations and are now alleging that former President Donald Trump was responsible for rushing them through the authorization process.
In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.
Hey, welcome back everyone. Well, you might have heard me say before that this whole issue with
January 6 and the, you know, great walk through a raid on the Capitol, whatever you choose to call
it, really, once the investigations start going, folks, this is not going to be a scandal about
whether Trump was, you know, trying to instigate things. Frankly, they couldn't show any evidence
of that already. Trump, in fact, actually authorized the deployment of the National Guard,
meaning that the security issues were not on him. And there's a big question now, well,
who were the security, you know, vulnerabilities? Who should be blamed for this? Just be blunt with
it. And folks, the attention is now shifting to Nancy Pelosi, because not only is she, well,
one of the people who was in charge of security that day, she was also one of the main people,
her, Mitch McConnell and Muriel Bowser, one of the main people who, well, did not decide to
accept Trump's offer to deploy the National Guard. But according to new evidence, she's also
blocking the investigations into her role. And I'm saying it right now, and you might have seen
actually as in Tucker Carlson, I said the same thing. This is going to be the new Benghazi.
January 6, once the investigations seriously begin, and they have not begun yet,
once they seriously begin, this is going to be the new Benghazi. Folks, I'm going to go in depth
on this for a little bit. I will talk about this before the jump. Also, some other big things
happening that the left right now is doing a 180 on the vaccines. And this was kind of expected in
some ways, because frankly, the vaccines don't work like they claim they did. And well, the truth
that's kind of coming out now, but now that they can no longer deny it, now that the left can no
longer deny it, now that social media and big tech and all these guys can no longer deny what's
happening, they're blaming it on Trump. And they're saying that Trump's actions to, you know,
the Operation Warp Speed to rapidly push through the vaccines through the authorization process
is what led to them having unsafe vaccines. And all of that, all that whole history of it should
be blamed on Trump. That's literally the way the narrative is going. And I'll be showing you some
information suggesting that, well, it's not really the case, especially because he didn't want to
mandate any of it. But folks, the vaccine issue may be over now. But again, they're trying to make
it seem like a Trump scandal. I'm going to show you the way that's heading and also talk about
some of the significance of that. Also, a lot more to talk about, too. I have quite a few stories.
I want to catch up on a lot of stuff, because I've been doing some really kind of longer segments
lately. And I want to kind of catch up on some of the news with you all. Another big thing, too,
tomorrow, because there's just too much to talk about, tomorrow I'm going to be talking about
that Trump is now saying that they either need to, because of the issues with the election,
they either need to declare him the winner of the election or have a redo of the election.
All right, folks, that said, as always, great having you all here. If you're on YouTube,
keep in mind, we will jump over to Epic TV after about 25 minutes. So again,
link in the description, join us on Epic TV. I do an hour and a half show, including the Q&As
over on Epic TV. All right, folks, that said, let's go over the first story.
Washington Times had this article, and Pelosi right now, Nancy Pelosi, is being accused
of hiding information on her role in security breakdowns on January 6. If you saw my documentary,
The Real Story of January 6, like my mug says, you'll know that that was the case.
Kash Patel, in our documentary, made that clear because Kash was one of the people in charge
under Trump of trying to work between the National Guard and the deployment of them and
trying to get the folks in DC to deploy them. Remember, Trump authorized the National Guard.
That decision to have them deployed was not accepted by Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell,
and Muriel Bowser, meaning that the fact that the police were not properly prepared,
the fact they didn't have enough people there, the fact there were no real barriers up,
like no climb fences, all of that are the security flaws that led to the very problem
they claim happened. And those issues are not on Trump. That's on Nancy Pelosi,
Mitch McConnell, and Muriel Bowser. And Nancy Pelosi is in the hot seat with this right now.
Let me show you this. Washington Times has a story. It says, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
is concealing information about her culpability in the security breakdowns during the January 6
riot, or the Great Walkthrough, whatever you choose to call it. According to Republican
lawmakers who have been pursuing those documents since immediately after the attack on the US
Capitol. Representative Rodney Davis of Illinois said Mrs. Pelosi is stonewalling. He is the
Republican on the House Administrative Committee, which oversees the management of the Capitol
complex. The sergeant at arms at the direction of the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has refused to provide
us with their communications surrounding January 6. Isn't it funny they can have a whole committee
investigating this and they can't get those just very basic documents that would detail one of the
most fundamental things you want to know around what happened that day in terms of security?
Isn't it funny that some of the most core pieces of evidence that you would need are being stonewalled
even to people in the House and Senate, people who are in Congress who would need this information
as part of just normal investigations, let alone trial lawyers dealing with cases where
they're even arguing entrapment. This is one of the fundamental pieces of evidence that they
should be getting. So why are they denying that piece of evidence? Well, that's going to be again
one of the big questions going forward into the real investigations when this thing begins.
Now he continues stating, quote, I believe those records will show there was a lot of communications
and coordination between the speaker's office, Nancy Pelosi, and law enforcement officials
leading up to and on January 6. Mr. Davis wrote in a statement Tuesday to the Washington Times.
He sent a letter Monday to Mrs. Pelosi that reiterated those Republicans' demands for the
release of documents and communications involving the decision not to deploy the National Guard
for the mass protests anticipated that day. Now that's important on a few levels, folks,
because they knew there were going to be large scale protests. Trump had permits for both
speaking areas. There was a speaking event at the Ellipse where they knew the size of the crowd
roughly because there were previous protests that had been organized and he had very large
crowds of those protests. They had a general idea of the size of the crowd that it was going to
attract. Why did they not deploy the even like riot police? Why were DC police not even properly
deployed, let alone the National Guard, right? Now, there was that event at the Ellipse. They
also registered a speaking venue or a speaking platform at the Capitol building. So they knew
there was going to be an event at the Capitol building. Now, if you know that these large
crowd is going to move over to the Capitol building and you know there's going to be a big
protest there, why don't you put no climb fences up? Why don't you put security guards there,
like proper ones, to make sure that people don't enter the building and trap themselves and commit
crimes? Why don't you put proper no trespassing signs up? Or if, for example, those folks,
these suspicious actors who go up while Trump is still speaking at the Ellipse and tear them all
down, why don't they put them back up after that? If the building was breached while Trump was still
speaking, why did they not immediately deploy more forces there? Why didn't they do any of that?
Well, those are the questions that need to be asked. And those are the questions that need
some serious answers. Because those questions are the security failures that should have been
addressed. And the big, serious, glaring question is why were they not addressed? And I'm saying
again right now, that investigation into those exact questions, this is going to be the new
Benghazi. For those of you who don't remember, Benghazi was when you had this attack on this
American embassy. Of course, several Americans died there, including one of the diplomats who
was there. Hillary Clinton refused to deploy the forces to rescue them. She said, remember,
she was having to testify and she said, at this point, what does it matter? And she was criticized
for that. And then when they tried to get her documents and her communications on it, that's
when she wiped her servers and hard drive with a digital tool that will format your hard drives,
and then had her team destroy their phones with hammers. Remember that? That was Benghazi.
While that same type of investigation on why did Americans die because of security flaws that you
were in charge of, that you had the ability to fix, why did that happen under your watch?
Well, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is going to have to answer those questions. And one of the key
pieces of evidence for that is going to be her communications, at the very least, with the head
of arms of the Capitol building. This is, again, folks, the beginning of a very, very large
scandal. Yeah, there's a great movie in that 13 hours, Anne White is noting. Although I was
disappointed in the movie because it doesn't mention any of the controversy. It doesn't
mention Hillary Clinton or anything like that. It's a good action movie, but it doesn't note
the political side of it, unfortunately. Yeah, folks, get ready for it, because this is where
the investigation is heading. And there are Republicans currently trying to get that
information, and this is where it needs to go. Because the very things they're accusing Trump of
doing are the things they're very likely guilty of, or the very things that they should be
investigated for, is a better way to put it. All right, folks, I'll go a bit more. I'm going to
talk about what's happening with the vaccines right now. Because again, the narrative fell apart.
The vaccines are not safe. They're admitting many parts with that. And guess what? They're saying
that, well, yeah, okay, the vaccines have issues. They didn't go through proper
procedures to get released. But that's Trump's fault. And they're blaming Trump now.
I'm going to show you where that is. I'm going to show you some old videos telling who's really
responsible for this. First, though, folks, we do have a sponsor today. Today's episode is brought
to you by Secure. Over 155 million Americans are affected by data leaks in 2020. The average

today's episode. All right, folks. The left has taken a 180 on the vaccine. All those people who
were saying, hey, this is a huge scandal. The thing is safe. It's safe and effective. 100%
protection. You'll never get sick. It totally gives you immunity. And then, well, the data
coming out showed that none of that was true, frankly. All those people are... I don't know
what they're doing right now. Maybe some of them are still trying to hold their ground on that,
or they're just trying to be quiet right now. But in terms of the bigger picture with this,
in terms of the way the main narrative is going and the way a lot of the legacy news are going,
they're actually starting to blame Trump. They're saying, yeah, okay, there are all
these problems, but that's actually Trump's fault. Let me show you where this is.
Politico has this story. It says, Trump White House exerted pressure on FDA for COVID-19
emergency use authorizations, House report finds. This is where the story on the vaccines is going.
Now, it says this, and there's a couple of important parts with this. Remember that Fauci
announced he's stepping down, and he's going to be stepping down probably before the midterms,
or at least before, well, after the elections, but before the Republicans, if they do retake the
House, can start their investigative committees. Because a lot of people think that he's going to
be a subject of investigation for his role with all these things, and that he might end up facing
some kind of repercussions from that, some kind of official repercussions. Now, we'll see where
that goes. But aside from Fauci's role on it, you also have lawsuits rolling out. People are filing
and they're winning lawsuits around the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Now, all this goes back to the,
let's say, effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines and the safety of the vaccines,
because that's the grounds a lot of people had when they were making their arguments that they
don't want to take it. Well, it seems that rather than try to double down and deny it further,
they're trying to point the fingers at a new target. That new target is their favorite target,
which is Trump. So, Politico says this. They say the Trump administration pressured the Food and
Drug Administration, that's the FDA, including former FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, to authorize
unproven treatments for COVID-19. Now, as we get into this, I want to be clear that they're kind
of mixing narratives, and so I'm going to show you how they're mixing narratives. But let me go over
this first. So, they say Trump pressured the former FDA Commissioner to authorize unproven
treatments for COVID-19 and the first COVID-19 vaccines on an accelerated timeline. That was,
of course, Operation Warp Speed. They said it's according to a report released Wednesday by
Democrats on the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis. They say senior Trump
administration officials fought for the reauthorization of hydroxychloroquine,
a drug normally used to treat malaria and lupus, after the FDA revoked its emergency clearance
of the drug because data showed it was ineffective against COVID-19. That data didn't show that. In
fact, data showed the opposite. Just scientists were punished if they did show that data. That
was a real issue. But they're saying it showed it was ineffective against COVID-19, and it could
lead to potentially dangerous side effects. You have in countries that take it regularly for
malaria, right? Which you don't. I should know. The report found, the Democrats' investigation
also documents potential influence from former White House officials regarding the FDA's decision
to authorize convalescent plasma, the white, you know, monoclonal antibody treatment,
in other words, which Biden and his administration restricted, even though not only was it showing it
effectively treating COVID-19, but was even reducing cancer cases. But aside the point, right?
So the White House officials regarding the FDA's decision on that, and White House attempts to
block the FDA from collecting additional safety data on COVID-19 vaccines in order to get them
public before the 2020 presidential elections, which technically was true. Remember, Trump did
operate, he did have Operation Warp Speed, where he did make, you know, kind of clear the way for
the rapid deployment of these vaccines. And Trump has not really backed off that either. He's
continued to really stand behind his decision to push forward the vaccines and the authorization
process. So that's kind of accurate. Now, on this, this is a quote, it said,
the select committee's findings that the Trump White House officials deliberately and repeatedly
sought to bend FDA's scientific work on coronavirus treatments and vaccines to the White House's
political will are yet another example of how the prior administration prioritized politics
over health. And that's House Majority Whip Jim Claiborne, a Democrat, saying that, who also
chairs a subcommittee in a statement. And he continues stating, these assaults on our nation's
public health institutions undermine the nation's coronavirus response. So that's the way the
is heading, folks. The vaccines, actually, this is the folks who were telling you the opposite
until very recently, right? Until a couple weeks ago. They're now saying that the rapid
authorization and rolling out of the vaccines were assaults, including the attempts to get
other medicines approved. These assaults on our nation's public health institutions undermine
the nation's coronavirus responses. That's the new narrative on the vaccines. Now, you can't make
this up. But folks, I want to be clear, you know, this actually aligns with the early stance of the
Democrats in the early days of the deployment of the vaccines. Remember, it was the left,
the Democrats mostly, who initially were refusing to take the vaccine, who were saying they would
not touch it. I mean, let me show you an example of this. Kamala Harris herself,
in the vice president debates ahead of the 2020 elections, she herself said this. Let me show you
a video clip of it. This is USA Today. I have the clip from the debates. The Trump administration
approves a vaccine before or after the election. Should Americans take it, and would you take it?
If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it,
I'll be the first in line to take it. Absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take
it, I'm not taking it. Well, not only did they take it, but they tried forcing everybody to
take it. I think, you know, Trump was against, of course, the forced mandates, the idea that
people have to take it. He wanted to make it a voluntary thing. Now, of course, she is making
the point, you know, fair enough that she's saying that if Fauci or others say take it,
then she would take it. And of course, Dr. Fauci and pretty much the entire left-wing establishment
not only said you should take it, but they said you have to take it, or, you know, you're going
to get fired from your job, or maybe get, you know, locked in your home or something like that.
You can't go out to restaurants. You're banned from using a lot of normal businesses. That's
what they were trying to do. They tried making it so that if you did not take the vaccine,
you are basically canceled from, let's say, polite society. That's what they tried doing.
Now, that side of the argument is kind of the real crux of the matter. Let's go more into this.
Now, the Boston Globe had another story on this, just showing this is actually a bigger issue than
just, you know, Politico talking about it, and this investigative committee on COVID and, you
know, with Democrats leading it. This is actually something that's kind of an expanding narrative
right now. The Boston Globe said, Trump administration sought to pressure FDA on
COVID vaccines and treatment, House panel concludes. And they're saying something slightly
different. Rather than talking about, you know, Trump's attempts to pressure them to push it
forward, they're saying Trump officials, this is them, Trump officials repeatedly stalled the Food
and Drug Administration, the FDA's plan to extend safety studies on coronavirus vaccines in the fall
of 2020. As then President Donald Trump pressed the agency for a faster timeline, so the vaccines
could be authorized before Election Day, according to emails, text messages, and interviews conducted
by a congressional panel probing the pandemic response. Now, we tend to know how credible these
congressional panels tend to be. So I think there needs to be maybe a nonpartisan or bipartisan
investigation as well. But remember, that was also part of Operation Warp Speed. Trump was trying to
rapidly authorize the deployment of vaccines. He was also trying to authorize different types of
treatments, monoclonal antibody treatment being one of the, shown to be one of the most effective,
and ironically, the one that was restricted and even somewhat banned through, you know,
restrictions on the drugs by the Biden administration. And also data showing that
hydroxychloroquine, hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for many people. I personally
know people who recovered using it. So the fact that they say it doesn't work is kind of nonsense.
But beside the point with this, they're mixing narratives. Let me show you this.
They say White House officials such as trade advisor Peter Navarro and outside allies such
as TV host and physician Mehmet Oz also pressed federal officials in 2020 to authorize the
antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a COVID coronavirus treatment with Navarro and a deputy
working behind the scenes to have a hospital craft a response to the FDA for widespread access to the
debunked therapy touted by Trump. The House Select Committee on the coronavirus crisis
concluded in a report released Wednesday. The report offers new details on contempt,
contemptuous reports about the Trump administration's efforts to sway the FDA
in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, a pressure campaign that rattled agency officials
and threatened to undermine confidence in vaccines and other medical treatments,
former Commissioner Hahn told the panel. Now, they're mixing narratives. They're convoluting
things by mixing narratives. They're, of course, making the headlines about, again, the COVID-19
vaccines. But they're using in their data things on Trump trying to get other treatments approved,
and the way that those attempts were actually blocked by different agencies or officials or
outlets and so on, and by states. Now, I'm going to go more into this, because I'm going to show
you kind of the truth behind all this, because, again, you have some very, very sly tricks being
used in terms of the language and, again, how they're mixing narratives. But also, there's
some important data going back in history on who actually was responsible. Of course, Trump is part
of that. Trump did play a role in that. He did, in fact, have Operation Warp Speed that rapidly
pushed out the vaccines. And, of course, they're trying to blame some of the failures and health
problems with the vaccines on that. So they're trying to make that a Trump scandal rather than
a Fauci scandal and rather than a mandate scandal and those types of things. But, folks, let's jump
over to Epic TV first, then we'll go deeper into this, because we're walking a fine line with
YouTube. YouTube will block your videos for some of this stuff. But you might notice something
funny as well, that YouTube, they stopped putting, at least last I checked, they stopped putting up
that little COVID-19 misinformation label at the bottom of the videos, because while the narrative
is falling apart, at least last I checked, they stopped using it, the narrative is disintegrating.
And because the narrative is disintegrating, they're trying to switch the blame.
Folks, come join us on Epic TV. Let's jump over now. Real quick, though, if you haven't seen it
yet, we actually had a really good interview just recently with Matthias Desmond. This is the guy
who coined the idea or, you know, popularized the idea of mass formation. I had a great discussion
with him about mass formation, where society is heading with this, and how we can change
that trajectory. Let me show you the trailer of this and we'll jump over to Epic TV.
When people are in the grip of a mass formation, they typically become willing to sacrifice
everything that used to be important for them before the mass formation started. They even
sacrifice the lives of their children and their own lives. Mass formation is a specific kind of
group formation, which has very specific effects at the level of individual psychological functioning,
such as when people are in the grip of a mass formation, they lose every capacity to take a
critical distance of what the group believes in. This can go quite far. The people in the mass
formation, in the end, start to believe the most absurd things. They become radically intolerant
for dissonant voices. And in the end, in the ultimate stage of the mass formation, they will
commit atrocities towards the people that do not go along with the masses,
and they will do so as if it is their ethical duty to do so.
All right, folks, be sure to check out that interview. It's Matthias Desmond, and that's on
Epic TV. That said, I'll see you on Epic TV. We still have our live discussion, still quite a bit
to talk about. So, come join us over there. All right, folks, those of you curious, today's
tea is actually white tea. It's the silver needle tea, actually something I've been really enjoying.
