Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, that's what life is, maybe more accurately, like in
nineteen sixty eight or nineteen seventy when that song came out.
It's kind of funny though, you remember Leonard Skynyrd Sweet
Home Alabama. That was sort of an answer to what
Neil Young had written about the South. Neil Young came
back and said, America richly deserved the story, the shot
that Leonard Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I

(00:22):
don't like my words when I listen to it today.
They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and
too easy to missicans true, That's what he said in
twenty twelve. So obviously Neil Young realized the times have changed.
Why can't the federal government Beth really adjoints us She's
a writer at the Federalist. Why is this an actual

(00:43):
belief or just a propaganda push by the Department of
Justice that somehow racism, in particular racism black on white
racism is the biggest problem this country still faces.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh Jimmy, I can't believe we are having this conversation
on January sixth, because it's all really started January sixth,
twenty twenty one. The Department of Justice tried to make
domestic violent extremism a national priority area in response to
January sixth. They were trying to milk all the political

(01:21):
currency they could out of the people going to the capital,
when actually most ordinary citizens who wanted who went there
wanted Congress to investigate for corruption before certifiing the twenty
twenty election, which kind of crazy that's happening today. But

(01:41):
within months, the FBI Director of Christopher Ray, told Congress
that January sixth was mostly people who were racially motivated
violent extremists who advocated for white supremacy. And then the
government likes to make a lot of reports that justify,

(02:02):
you know what it is, the direction they want to
take things. So there were a bunch of reports that
were put out saying, you know, white supremacy is the
biggest problem. And what happened was and this is not
even in my story because my story talks about how
the federal government moved its focus away from things like

(02:22):
ISIS and really focused on domestic terrorism. But in a
previous story I've written, I talk about how this is.
Back in twenty twenty three, I wrote the story how
the federal government spent twenty million dollars on grants to
combat white supremacy. And I'll tell you some of the

(02:43):
crazy ways they spent the money. And this is a
grant that was re upped in twenty twenty four, so
there's more more of these kind of crazy things. But
they spent like four hundred thousand dollars on an eight
episode true crime podcast to event extremism and accelerate equity,

(03:05):
which does nothing to prevent isis right? They just totally
took their eye off the ball.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's about redistribution of wealth. It's about taking money and
just distributing it to people you like or people you
want to have it. That's it's a money it's a
money grab, it sounds like. But in the meantime, we're
not we're not investigating the people like the guy in
Houston who ended up going to New Orleans and running
over a whole bunch of people. If we should have
I mean, he had a major presence on social media.

(03:33):
Shouldn't the FBI have known about him?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well? And we just learned over the weekend that he
traveled to Egypt and to Canada, which you know, they're
not sure what the connection there is of anything but
first they said, well, we're pretty sure he worked with
other people, and then they quickly said, well, no, no,
he worked alone. And now they're saying, well, he traveled.
And you know, they're going to keep investigating. But you know,

(03:58):
because the j and Biden spent so much time putting
all these January sixth attendees in prison, and they're still
prosecuting these folks, and because they turned their eye onto
you know, what they considered the most lethal threat in
America white supremacy, which is you know, if it were

(04:21):
so prevalent and lethal, I think we would notice it
a lot more. They weren't paying attention to this kind
of thing, and they weren't taking it seriously. And yet
we've known about the threat from ISIS since before the
Biden administration. But because they did this, Americans have lost

(04:41):
trust in the Department of Justice and the FBI, and
it's now we call them the deep deep state. Now
we just don't trust what they're doing. Are they really
going to do the investigations we expect of them?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
And do we expect them to protect President Trump and
the inauguration? Everybody there are civil for the inauguration, worried
how worried, are you about that?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean, it's you know, the swamp exists. If you
remember in twenty twenty he was you know, he was, well,
I should say twenty twenty sixteen, he was going to
go in and clean out the swamp. And the swamp
is just so much deeper than anyone you know, ever expected.
And you know, they don't really use that language anymore,

(05:25):
the swamp, but it still exists, and it's just it's
so dirty.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, Bret, Beth, thanks for coming on the show. Good
to talk to you this morning. Do appreciate it with
the Federalists, that's writer Beth Brill Young
