I stayed up way too late last night watching episode
two of the Billy Joel documentary. I didn't even get
through it. It's like two and a half hours long.
We did not know that when we turned it on,
So I'm uh, yeah, I'm running on fumes today. But
you probably would not have even noticed it had I
not just brought this to your attention. So anyway, there
was a story a couple of weeks ago that I
have never gotten to but is important in setting the
historical record straight, okay, And it is about the inflation
of crime stats by the FBI.
Speaker 1: Artificially.
Speaker 2: So juice in the stats, I believe, is the term
that was used on the Wire, the program The Wire.
They were juice in the stats. They're crime stats. Jerry
Dunlevy at the website justthnews dot com, which is John Solomon's.
Speaker 1: Website. He does a lot.
Speaker 2: Jerry Dunleavy does a lot of long form investigative pieces.
Speaker 1: This is a very lengthy piece as well.
Speaker 2: And the title on it is Biden administration used January
sixth to artificially inflate domestic terrorism threat. This is according
to declassified intel. The intelligence was declassified in April, and
it shows that most of the reported rise in the
number of domestic terrorism cases was actually tied to a
single event, which was the Capital riot of January sixth,
twenty twenty one. That juicing of the stats was then
cited by the Biden administration as a basis for instituting
a sweeping expansion in.
Speaker 1: Federal law enforcement.
Speaker 2: And he walks through like what the normal practices and
why this the j six investigations deviated from the normal practice,
He says. The artificial inflation of the domestic terrorism threat
was revealed in a newly declassified intelligence record from early
twenty twenty two. It was made public by the Director
of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard. By the way, y'all probably
shouldn't have put her on that no fly list, just
not for nothing anyway. The declassified special Analysis report by
the US intelligence and Law enforcement agencies from February twenty
twenty two revealed that sixty one percent of all alleged
domestic terrorism related cases, just domestic terrorism cases, sixty one
percent of them that were investigated by the FBI at
the time were related to the Capital riot sixty one
percent and seventy eight percent of arrests that were allegedly
tied to domestic terrorism in the year twenty twenty one,
in fact, stemmed from just the Capital riot eight percent
of arrests. So this was alleged by some whistleblowers inside
the FBI. They said this, and the administration said, you know,
pooh poo died, that's not true. They denied it, and
they were right. Those whistleblowers were right. The until recently
classified document was put together in early twenty twenty two
by the Joint Analytics Cell on Domestic Violent Extremism. So
if you hear me use the acronym DVE, that's domestic
violence extremists or extremism DVE. That Analytics Cell, the Joint
Analytics Cell on dvees run by the FBI, the Department
of Homeland Security, and the National counter Terrorism Center. The
document was declassified. As I mentioned by Tulci avert at Odni,
the revelation was found in a sub section on quote
fatal domestic violent extremist attacks and FBI Investigations. That's the
sub section. Despite the fact, the contrary to the repeated
claims of many Democrats and media, but I repeat myself,
the Capital rioters did not kill anybody. The only people
that died that day were were rioters, were protesters. Earlier
in the INTEL analysis, the newly released document had contended
that quote the number of pending FBI domestic terrorism investigations
more than doubled in twenty twenty one, from about fourteen
hundred to about twenty nine hundred, in part because of
cases related to the siege of the US Capitol on
January sixth, twenty twenty one. The public was never told
this though at the time, so they kept saying, oh
my gosh, we've had this massive spike and domestic violent
acts and extremism. But it more than doubled because you
counted all of the investigations as separate cases. They were
all designated as separate cases, rather than you make J
six one case, and then everybody that you're investigating is
part of that one case. But by making everybody separate cases,
they then inflate the number to twenty nine hundred. The
phrase in part where they use in part to the
siege on the Capitol. That phrase downplayed the reality and
was highly misleading. The sixty one percent figure added up
to about eighteen hundred new domestic terrorism cases, which means
that based on their own figures, there would have actually
been roughly three hundred fewer domestic terrorism cases in twenty
twenty one than the year prior, so, in other words,
the number of dvees actually went down, but because they
counted all of the J six cases as separate cases,
the number doubled. Then White House Press Secretary Jen Pisaki,
famously of the circling back, announced only a few days
after Biden was inaugurated as president in January twenty twenty one,
that Biden had ordered a review of the allegedly rising
domestic terrorism threat, citing J six as her sole example.
The Biden White House soon released its National Strategy for
countering domestic terrorism. They did that in June of twenty
twenty one. The White House fact sheet at the time
said that quote. On his first full day in office,
President Biden directed his National security team to lead a
one hundred day comprehensive review of US government efforts to
address domestic terrorism, which has evolved into the most urgent
terrorism threat the United.
Speaker 1: States faces today.
Speaker 2: They go on to say, the intelligence community assesses that
domestic violent extremists, who are motivated by a range of
ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in
the United States pose an elevated threat to the homeland.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: One, this is what they argued, and this is what
they used to justify all of their focus on, you know,
getting the Jay Sixers and MAGA and Trump. Remember this
is twenty twenty one. Biden had just gotten into the
White House, and of course then you know, we saw
all of the prosecutions and the like. Then FBI Director
Christopher Ray, along with the DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorcis, as
well as other Biden era law enforcement and intelligence community leaders,
repeatedly cited this stat They kept talking about the vast
increase in domestic terrorism cases, and they used it to
justify their arguments that the domestic terrorism threat had significantly increased,
but they never revealed that the increase in domestic terrorism
cases was overwhelmingly sourced from the one day riot at
the US Capitol. The number of FBI investigations of suspected
dvees has more than doubled since the spring of twenty
That's what Ray testified to in Congress. That's what majorcas
testified to. That's what they were all testifying about. They
were all citing this one juiced stat and that's not
the way the FBI normally counts the cases. Here's a
great idea. How about making an escape to a really
special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a
quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is
your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe
you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family
and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins of
Ashville has the ideal spot for you where you can
reconnect with your loved ones and the things that truly matter,
Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand acres of the
Pisga National Forest. Their cabins offer a serene escape in
the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, centrally located between
Asheville and the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
It's the perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to all
the local attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs,
Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables and your own private covered porch.
Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas, and a
great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of an

go to the phones and chat with Ralph. Hello, Ralph,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey Pete, and I'm going to attribute this to your
sleep deprivation, but you misspoke a minute ago. Those stats
are correct. I mean that they doubled at everything, but
it was a threat to the Democratic Party being exposed.
Speaker 2: Oh, so this was what the intelligence community assesses that
domestic violent extremists. This was from their the Biden era
domestic terrorism document argued that these dvees pose an elevated
threat to the homeland in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: One, and you need this substitute party a threat to
the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it is the same thing, really
if you know it's not. Yeah, Ralph, I appreciate. No,
that's fair point. And remember that that also launched all
of the campaigns against Trump, all the prosecutions, all the investigations.
In fact, yesterday on Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Devin Nunez,
who really like people forget the critical role that Devin
Nunez played in uncovering the Russia Gate hoax and the
Stele dossier, all of that, right, because Nonez got a
look at some of this information and immediately went over
to the White House and was like.
Speaker 1: Yo, like this is this is foul.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a bunch of shenanigans going on over there.
Had he not done that, I don't know if all
of the stuff would have come out. But he immediately
went over there, told the White House and then told
the media as well. So Nonez was on the show
with Maria Bartiromo on Fox and he suggested that the
raid on Mara Lago was to find something as well
as to keep Trump from winning re election. That was
its primary purpose. And the something was now released HIPSY HPSCI,
which is the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, this
newly released report. They wanted to make sure that Trump
didn't have this report. That's what they were looking for.
That's what Nonez is saying. And the CIA refused to
allow the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the HIPSY.
They refuse to allow HIPSY to keep the report which
that committee wrote because they didn't want Trump to get
it like this, It is astounding the level of corruption
that the intelligence agencies were engaged in and maybe still
are right in order to stop Trump. Christopher Ray, the
former head of the FBI, he told Congress in April
of twenty twenty three, quote, the top domestic terrorism threat
we face continues to be from DVEs domestic violent extremists
we categorize as racially or ethnically motivated violent extremests or rmve's.
Then there are also the AGAA, VASE or AGAVE, the
anti government or anti authority, violent extremists, That's what he
said was driving this, this increased threat to the homeland,
again arguing that the number of FBI domestic terrorism investigations
has more than doubled since the spring of twenty twenty
and as of the end of fiscal year twenty twenty two,
the FBI was conducting approximately twenty seven hundred investigations within
the domestic terrorism program. He would go on to repeat
those same arguments almost word for word, in front of
Congress again in July of twenty twenty three, in December
of twenty twenty three, and elsewhere. His language was also
echoed by Alejandro Mayorkas, head of the Department of Homeland Security.
Now back right before j six, do you recall there
being any other, I don't know, incidents of well publicized violence. Yes, absolutely, yes.
The Summer of Love in twenty twenty, large and often
violent protests swept across the US in the summer of
twenty twenty following the death of Saint George Floyd, accompanied
by rioting, looting, arson, and violence. While the Capitol riot
occurred on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Republicans have repeatedly
argued that the Justice Department prosecuted the Capitol riot prosecutions
more intensely than their investigations into the twenty twenty riots.
And there's a reason why Republicans keep saying that. It's
because it's true. It's true, all right. If you're listening
to this show, you know I try to keep up
with all sorts of current events, and I know you
do too, And you've probably heard me say get your
news from multiple sources. Why Well, because it's how you
detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed
with ground News. It's an app, and it's a website,
and it combines news from around the world in one place,

media landscape more transparent. Again, going over this piece at
justthenews dot com by Jerry Dunley, the how the Biden
administration basically juiced the stats using January sixth in order
to inflate the numbers, the count the total count of
quote domestic violent extremists, and that then was used at
the beginning of the Biden administration and they kept, you know,
hammering away that all the rise of domestic violent right
wing extremism and all of this meanwhile not going after
the obviously organized violent mobs that were taking over cities
and you know, confiscating property like the Jazz Chop.
Speaker 1: In Seattle and Portland.
Speaker 2: Jill Sanborn, then the executive assistant director of the FBI's
National Security Branch, referred to twenty twenty and the violence
that we all saw around the peaceful protests quote unquote
peaceful protests during January twenty twenty two. In testimony that
she gave in twenty twenty two, she said that the
bureau had opened slightly more than eight hundred cases related
to domestic terrorism tied to the dozens of nationwide twenty
twenty riots. So eight hundred cases that compares two thousands
of domestic terrorism cases tied to the J six riot.
Speaker 1: Ray Christopher Ray.
Speaker 2: Then the FBI Director, claimed in a February twenty twenty
two speech that the FBI was working just as hard
to punish those involved in the George Floyd riots as
it was in prosecuting those tied to J six. Later on,
skipping ahead here, dun Leavy says FBI whistleblowers came forward
to tell Congress that the FBI was artificially inflating the
domestic terrorism numbers by quietly using thousands of J six
related cases to argue that the domestic terrorism threat was
on the rise, when in fact it had declined. There
were three hundred fewer cases if you take out the
J six numbers. Whistleblowers claims now have been vindicated by
this recently declassified internal analysis by the FBI, DHS, n CTC. Ordinarily,
the FBI characterizes and labels cases according to the originating
field office. Okay, so, and then you know they will
you know, cut to other field offices for specific assistance
in that geographic location if required, But where the event occurs,
that's where you house the That's where you house the
original case. With the j six cases, though, the FBI
did not follow its ordinary procedure, which would have resulted
in the Washington Field Office leading the investigation and categorizing
the investigations as Washington Field Office cases or WFO Washington
Field Office, but they didn't do that. The FBI's case
categorization created the illusion also that the FBI field offices
around the country were investigating some groundswell of domestic terrorism cases,
giving the impression that the threat of domestic violent extremists
is present in jurisdictions across the nation, when the reality
was simpler. All the cases stem from the one investigation,
which should have been at the Washington Field Office, but
they handed all of the cases out when they identified people,
they would send them to all of the different field office,
which makes it look like there's this widespread problem. The
FBI special agent named Stephen Friend testified to House investigators
quote the manipulative case file practice creates false and misleading
crime statistics because instead of hundreds of investigations stemming from
a single black swan incident at the Capitol. FBI and
Justice Department officials point to significant increases in domestic violent
extremism and terrorism all around America. By opening a separate
case for each individual person as opposed to one case
with however many subjects are involved, they turned one case
into eighteen hundred, and by spreading them to the field offices,
they've given the impression that those domestic terror cases are
around the country, when in fact, the subjects, if they
committed an sort of violation or infraction, they committed a
crime at the Capitol on one day, as opposed to
being like a terrorist cell that's operating in El Paso
or Cleveland. Right, So the whistleblowers were right all along,
So now we know that what else I mentioned?
Speaker 1: Devin Nounez. This is from.
Speaker 2: The Postmillennial dot com. Devin Nunez is now the chair
of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, and he says it's
now clear what federal agents were really looking for during
the Marra Lago raid three years ago. They were looking
for classified documents related to the discredited Crossfire hurricane investigation.
They wanted to get them back. They were trying to
get those documents back. In an interview on Fox news
is Sunday Morning Futures, Nunez, now chairman of the President's
Intel Advisory Board, said the Biden administration was desperate to
stop then candidate Donald Trump from returning to office, and
the mar A Lago raid was part of that effort.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 2: Whatever they were looking for, they clearly couldn't find it.
They were trying to stop President Trump from being re elected.
Nunez pointed to the just released documents from Tulca Gabbert,
the Director of National Intelligence, which he said had long
been suppressed. Among them a forty five page report analyzing
Russia's actual preferences during the twenty sixteen election, evidence that
Nunez claims undermines the core premise of the entire Russia
collusion narrative because it does. I went over this in
detail last week. So what Nunez is saying is that
the intel agencies were afraid that Trump had that report
that has now been declassified that we covered last that
tracks how this all things start, How the whole thing
started from you know, the meeting with Obama, Brennan, Clapper
and Kmy and then the insertion of the Steele dossier
into the assessment, which then made its way to the
Presidential Daily President's Daily Brief, which Trump was receiving at
that time as well. Comy then briefs the President at
Trump Tower and then leaks that information to the media.
And you know, that's how you cripple an administration as
it's walking in the door. So that's what the Intel
agencies were looking for, was that report that's now been
to classified according to Newness. You know, stories are powerful.

driven by Liberty Buick. Gmc bain says, my dad always
told me you can do a lot with numbers. For example,
if your head is in the oven and your fanny
is in the freezer, on average, you ought to feel
pretty good.
Speaker 1: Which it does make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would be, Yeah, you should be all right,
the middle part of you should be. Although I am curious,
just like practically speaking, how you would be able to
have a freezer that close to the oven where you
would be able to be in both at the same time,
because I feel like you would have to have the
freezer right up next to the oven door, but then
you wouldn't be able to open the oven door, you know,
because it would hit the freezer.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I think I missed the point there.
Speaker 2: Joseph says, for the most part, the rank and file
FBI or CIA bureaucrat, down to the mail room workers,
are just as big of a commie as the leadership
and alphabet. All alphabet agencies need to be dismantled and
new institutions formed or this will never stop. This is
from Kevin. He says, I thought this would be good
for a laugh. NPR's one A program just did a
twenty minute segment this morning on facial hair. The Democrats
are now growing facial hair to help them win next time.
Oh my gosh, are they really? Is this the idea? Also,
it's their messaging, not their policy. Well, of course they
always say that, it's never their policies. They said it
multiple times in this report. They interviewed Republicans, and the
Republicans are like, no, it's your policies, it's not the
facial hair or lack thereof. And they're like, well, we'll see,
it's the facial hair that's going to make the difference.
Oh my gosh, that's yeah, it's definitely not it's definitely
the messaging, you guys. And if you speak to me
through a beard, then I'm totally going to believe you. Yes,
this is from Bill, who says great show as usual.
Thank you, Bill. I'm a daily listener. Would you please
do me a great favor say hello to Keith Young
for me. I worked with Keith as his audio engineer
for over twenty years doing TV shows. All right, well,
I'll send this over to Keith. Gave some contact info.
There are your okay, And then I'm getting complaints here
about the stream. The commercials are screwed up. They are repeating.
The Amazon commercial played three or four times straight, and
there was a bankad twice in the last break through
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Yes that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that platform has problems. And I had when I
was working in Asheville for an iheartstation, we had we
had there like a two and a half minute Katy
Perry and Taylor Swift by audio things that were getting
auto inserted into the spots and uh, they would play
back to back to back. It's just crazy. So it's
got it's it's definitely something on the programming end for
iHeart on the on their app. I enjoyed the Billy
Show Billy Joel documentary. I was sorry to hear his
relationship with his father was so void of emotion and
there was no closure. Yeah, that was I did not
know all of that about his dad. I don't know
if AOC is going to grow a beard. I'm not
sure she might be a beard.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I know nothing about her boyfriend because I don't think
she's married yet.
Speaker 1: I think it's just are they engaged Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let me go back to this, UH to do this
piece at the Post Millennial, Devin noon Is said this,
you know, forty five page report that's now been declassified,
had been blocked from public release for years. Now it's
finally declassified. As chairman of the President's Intelligence Board, he says,
I'm going to try to get out as much of
the information as possible and get it all declassified. When
asked directly whether he believed that the FBI rated Trump's
Florida home in order to retrieve this intel report, Nunas said, quote,
it had to be one of the things they were
looking for. That report is damning if people take the
time to read it, which is why obviously your legacy
outlets are not covering it. They have not been covering
it to the extent that I covered it, or you know,
conservative media outlets have covered it because it puts all
of the blames squarely on Obama, Comy, Clapper, and Brennan.
And it gives you the chronology, the the chronology of
the smear. How it started, how the Steele dossier got
inserted into the intelligence assessment, the ICA report, which then
made its way into the president's daily briefing, right which
then Kmy briefed Trump about at Trump Tower. And then
my bed is Kmy personally leaked the information to the
media or he handed it off to his buddy who
then turned it over to the media. I forget the
guy's name. He was like, I think he's like a
Georgetown law professor or something like that. But you know,
either way, it came from Komy because the media had
the Steele dossier, but nobody reported on it. They wouldn't
report it because they recognized it was thinly sourced and
impossible to corroborate. And even the FBI offered Christopher Steele
like a million dollars or something to you know, corro
ate this stuff, and he couldn't do it. He couldn't
collect the check, and so media sat on it until
Comy gave him a reason to report it because now
he briefs the president. And now that's the story that
Comy briefed the president on this salacious report, which, by coincidence,
we happened to have the salacious report. And now we
can tell you all of the contents. Right, And that's
how that played out. And you know, we're still dealing
with the ramifications. Lastly, Trump himself announced on Friday that
the documents taken during the Mara Lago raid in the
Jack Smith led classified Documents case, they have now been
returned to Trump. So after all this time, they just
gave all the documents back.
Speaker 1: All right.
