They instigated the January 6 events and lied about it. This isn’t some tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory. This is a documented fact.

In this episode of ‘Off Air’, I lay out the truth the media doesn’t want you to hear.

The FBI had 26 confidential informants in the crowd at the Capitol on January 6. That’s from the Justice Department’s Inspector General report.

Some of those informants even crossed restricted lines. One entered the Capitol Building. But the FBI wants us to believe they were just passive observers.

I will also break down one of the most egregious acts of media manipulation I’ve ever seen. The BBC maliciously edited Trump’s January 6 speech to make it sound like he incited violence.

This episode exposes all the liars in the media, in government, in the courtroom, who twisted this event into a political weapon to interfere with the elections.
