Absolute power corrupts absolutely and for proof of this we need to look no further than the Pelosi January 6th Committee.

0:09.0

Biden's poll number is like his brain cells are dropping rapidly and I want to explain why this is both scary but also exhilarating.

0:19.0

The Biden administration is denying Florida monoclonal antibody treatments and I want to explain the motive behind this despicable behavior.

0:30.0

Activist and congressional candidate Robbie Starbuck will join me. We're going to talk about his new contract with America.

0:37.0

And finally the questionable enthusiasm of W.E.B. Du Bois. This is the Dineshtus who's the podcast.

0:55.0

America needs this voice. The times are crazy and the time of confusion, division and lies. We need a brave voice of reason understanding and truth. This is the Dineshtus Sousa podcast.

1:13.0

The Pelosi January 6th Committee is a bogus operation from start to finish. It is not about revealing the truth about January 6th. It's about confirming an narrative. It's about suppressing in some cases the truth.

1:31.0

It's also about going after and demonizing Trump supporters including people who had little or nothing to do with January 6th. What I'm going to focus on today is the means that are used by the January 6th Committee to carry out its nefarious operations.

1:49.0

It was a Lord Acton I believe who said that absolute power, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And what Acton is getting at is the power which is a reality in the world.

2:05.0

It does have to be checked. It requires oversight. It requires legal limitations. John Adams, writing around the time of the founding, spoke about power. He used the word dominion.

2:21.0

Dominion here meaning authority, exercising force over someone else. And John Adams made the point that this idea of dominion is kind of a tyrannical impulse in human nature.

2:35.0

And again, Adams was talking about the need for power to be balanced, to be checked. And that is what our complex constitutional machinery is supposed to do.

2:47.0

Now I've talked on this podcast about the abuses of the FBI, the FBI for example trying to do surveillance on people getting their bank records. But here's the point. The FBI is under legal limitation.

3:00.0

The FBI can't just get your bank records because they feel like it. They have to go to a judge. They have to get a warrant. They have to get permission. They need to have some defined authority that they can appeal to and say look right here.

3:13.0

This is what gives us the authorization to do this. Interestingly, these limitations do not or at least in the view of the January 6th committee do not apply to Congress. Congress can do whatever it wants with no oversight whatsoever, no oversight, certainly not from the executive branch, not even from the judicial branch.

3:36.0

Now let's look at how this plays out in practice. Basically, the January 6th committee started out by getting cell phone records of people. They go to the telecom companies and they say listen, we want, we're going to give you a list of people, give us their phone records, give us their email logs, give us their text, give us their internet and browsing history.

3:57.0

And again, this would be one thing and questionable enough if it was limited to the people, for example, who breached the Capitol, who are in some senses that was probable cause to believe that they had broken the law.

4:12.0

But what if you're demanding the phone records of people who didn't even go into the Capitol, who are merely in DC or who are merely associated with the Trump administration and have nothing directly to do with January 6th at all. You're just trying to find out how they responded to January 6th or what they said to the president or what they said to somebody else in the White House.

4:32.0

And so the January 6th committee is on a kind of witch hunt to get these phone records. And again, no warrant, no judicial oversight, just give them to us.

4:47.0

Now, the next move of the January 6th committee, and this is an escalation beyond the phone records and the telecom data is bank records. So now the FBI, I'm sorry, the January 6th committee makes a list of people and goes to their banks and says give us their bank records.

5:03.0

And not only do we want their bank records, but don't tell them that you're giving us their bank records because if you do, they could then go to court and try to get a judge to block it. So in other words, give us the bank records in secrecy.

5:18.0

There's a very interesting case involving a guy named Taylor Buttabitch. Now this is a guy who's a former spokesman for the Trump campaign.
