There’s a process for when law enforcement needs help and we dial 911, it’s to the military, and that failed.

Tucker re-interviews Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund about the happenings on a certain January 6, an interview he did while with Fox News, but which never aired. Highlights include:

“If you wanted to understand what happened on January 6, 2021 at the US capitol, one of the first people you’d talk to, maybe the first, would be Steven Sund. Sund was the chief of Capitol Police that day, he knew more about what happened than virtually anyone else in the United States, and yet Congressional investigators weren’t interested in talking to him, the media not interested in talking to him, but we were…What he has to say is shocking; we recommend you watch.”

Sund: “…Coming into it, absolutely zero, with the intelligence we know now existed, talking about attacking the capitol, killing my police officers, attacking members of Congress and killing members of Congress, none of that was included in the intelligence coming up to it… Well, we now know FBI, DHS, was swimming in that intelligence. We also know now that the military seemed to have some very concerning intelligence as well…”

Sund: “…This gets really convoluted once you get into the response on January 6 and how I was delayed getting resources. You have the United States military, the acting secretary of defense, Miller, and General Milley had both discussed locking down the city of Washington DC because they were so worried about violence at the capitol on January 6. On Sunday and Monday they had been discussing locking down the city, revoking permits on capitol hill because of the concern for violence… You know who issues the permits on capitol hill for demonstrations, I do. You know who wasn’t told? Me. Instead, on January 4, what does Miller do? He puts out a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying various weapons, any weapons, any civil disobedience equipment that would be utilized for the very demonstrations or violence that he sees coming, it just doesn’t make any sense.”

Sund: “Congress passed a law that requires me to go to the Sergeant at Arms in advance of an event to request federal resources such as the National Guard. Congress passed a law, it’s 2 US Code 1970, look it up, just make sure you look it up before December 22 when they changed it . So, what was in effect on January 6…that requires me to go and get approval for bringing in National Guard or federal assistance, in advance, I have to go to the Capitol Police Board and get approval from Congressional leadership in advance, like I did on January 3. I was denied twice, because of optics and because the intelligence didn’t support it, think about that.”

Sund: “There’s a process for when law enforcement needs help and we dial 911, it’s to the military, and that failed. That failed miserably, because of the law Congress passed and the denial I was receiving.”

Sund: “There’s intel talking about going up and killing the ‘palace guards’, those are my officers. There’s intel talking about using chemicals at some of the entry points, there’s intel indicating that they’ve done surveillance at some of the entry points at the Capitol. None of that’s been included. They talk about burning down the Supreme Court, they talk about different attacks on different members of Congress and they talk about storming the building. Not a single word of that is included in any of the intelligence assessments. As a matter of fact, my intelligence unit is putting out documents on the fourth, fifth and sixth indicating a low probability of civil disobedience.”

Sund: “The very next day, less than 24 hours after we got control of the Capitol, Nancy Pelosi goes on national tv, blames the leadership at the top of Capitol Police, calls for my resignation on national TV and then lies about me.”

Tucker: Viktor Orbán on Ukraine, Russia and Hungary

If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia.

Tucker and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán talk about the war in Ukraine, how Americans are being lied to about it, and about Hungary’s success as a nation. Highlights include:

“As the war in Ukraine completely reshuffles the world order and threatens to destroy human civilization, it’s striking just how little information Americans are receiving about what happens there. The nation of Hungary shares a border with Ukraine. Its leader, Viktor Orbán, the nation’s longest serving Prime Minister, has been dealing with the Russians all of his life. He grew up under Russian occupation. As a young man, he was arrested and thrown in to jail by Russian-backed police for his efforts to liberate the country. In his Prime Ministry, he’s dealt regularly with Vladimir Putin, whose nation supplies Hungary with most of its energy. Viktor Orbán understands Russian and Ukraine. So, two years after we last spoke to him, we returned to Hungry to sit down with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and ask him, what exactly is happening in Ukraine right now?

“When you speak on politics in Russian … the number one issue, how to keep together the country… Freedom is just another issue, second, third, whatever. First, keep the country together, and that’s generated a different kind of culture and understanding of politics. That’s creating a kind of military approach, like they have.”

“They will not kill their leader, they will never give it up, they will keep together the country [sic] and they will defend it. We finance more, they will invest more. If we send more technical equipment, they will produce more. So, don’t misunderstand the Russians.

“Now, Putin is in power for long, long years [sic]. We forgot about how dangerous when there is no strong leadership or interregnum in Russian. The interregnum is the worst case possible… If this is the goal, it’s a mistake. It’s more than dangerous.

“If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia, and we are in a third world war immediately, so it’s a very dangerous moment now.

“Ideology is a very difficult thing, because it has an exclusivity. So, when the liberal says that this is the interpretation of society, it means that this is the only way to interpret a society. If you do differently, you cannot be a good man. So, we have another interpretation, we have a Christian and national, more traditional interpretation of human being and society, but they can’t accept it because it’s different.

“If you ask anybody on the street that any Hungarian leader who is elected freely can be a puppet of Putin or the Russians, they say it’s a joke, it’s impossible, because we are a sovereign country, and even to the Russians we deliver many times that we are sovereign.”

Tucker: Debate Night with Donald Trump

“I think he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had. And he also has the distinction of being the most incompetent.”

How’d you guys like watching the Republicans bicker among themselves last night? Meanwhile, Tucker was interviewing Donald Trump on why he wasn’t at the first Republican debate, Newsome, Epstein, the last election, Joe Biden and more. Highlights include:

Trump:

“I felt it would be more appropriate not to do the debate, I don’t think it’s right to do it. If you’re leading by 50, 60, in one poll I’m leading by 70 points…. I’m going to have all these people screaming at me, shouting questions at me, all of which I love answering, I love doing but it doesn’t make sense to do them, so I’ve taken a pass.”

“I think they like me and I know they love my policies. I hope they like, me, too. You know, a lot of people say they don’t like me but they like my –I think they like me. But, I have never seen spirit like it is right now, and the reason is because crooked Joe Biden is so bad. He’s the worst president in the history of our country. I don’t think he’s going to make it to the gate, but, you know, you never know. But he’s a corrupt person.”

“Remember when I asked the question, ‘Why is it that the Mayor of Moscow’s wife [sic] is allowed to give you $3.5million’…I said the Mayor of Moscow’s wife, giving you $3.5million, what did you do to deserve $3.5million? To Biden…and Chris Wallace didn’t want me to ask that question… It turned out to be much more appropriate than people thought.”

“China pays this guy millions of dollars…. See, I think he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had, and he also has the distinction of being the most incompetent. And, I believe both. I mean, he’s both incompetent and corrupt. I actually believe he’s compromised, because China knows so much about him. They know where the money comes from, they know where it is, who paid it, they probably paid it…. He, in many ways, is a Manchurian candidate.”

“The Democrat convention, the last one … they had voter ID that was this big, it looked like a prison guard…You walked in, they had your picture, your this, your fingerprint … everything, the most incredible voter ID I’ve ever seen. That was to get into the Democrat National Convention.

We could go back and we should go back to all paper ballots, voter ID, same day voting. You know, France did it. France had mail-in ballots and it was terrible. Anytime you have mail-in ballots, you’re going to have massive cheating on your elections.”

“After the election was over, the RINOs got together with the Democrats and they redid the election so you couldn’t do it anymore. So, then I called the people…Yes, you could do it. In other words, they took the Voting Act and they redid it so the Vice President no longer has the power to do what I said he could do.”
