Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for open, honest and provocative conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, the US Senate voting unanimously.

Last night, how often do you hear that? To declassify information on the origins of COVID-19?

Praise Jesus. Is it so hard? They've been trying to get this through Josh Holly, US Senator has been trying to get this through for a while now. It finally happened unanimously.

They did it once before, believe it or not, in the US Senate and the Democrat controlled house at the time wouldn't do anything about it. Well, now it's a Republican controlled house.

So will they will Joe Biden to prove this? Isn't it about time that plus Attorney General Merrick Garland takes the hot seat answering questions on a number of topics, including about what Republicans view as the weaponization of the Justice Department under his control.

My first guest is the Manages mentioned. He's at the center of both of those stories joining me now, Missouri Senator Josh Holly, US Senator from the great state of Missouri. Great to see you. So thanks for coming on.

Thank you for having me Megan. Let's start in reverse order because this what happened with Merrick Garland yesterday before the US Senate was really extraordinary on a number of topics.

You Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, as I saw it leading the way on really trying to hold him to account. So for the viewers who didn't get to watch it, what was the main goal in having him there and what was the main thing you were interested in?

Well, the main thing I'm interested in was how about the fact that we have people being executed on the streets of our cities, Megan Gang style, and that includes in my home state of Missouri at St. Louis.

There's video that I bet many of your audience have seen from earlier this week where you have a homeless man who has a gun put to his head to the back of his head and he is executed on live camera people people by passers by on the street film it.

And here's a criminal broad daylight. You know, it's like noon broad daylight, the criminal puts a gun to his head shoots him. That's what happens happening on the streets of St. Louis and Kansas City. We had more cops assaulted this week. What is the Justice Department doing about the crime wave all across our country in our schools in our neighborhoods.

The answer is nothing. What are their priorities instead their priorities appear to be going after pro life demonstrators sending SWAT teams to their homes and oh, yeah, sending informants recruiting informants in our churches Catholic parishes and other churches across the country.

I asked Garland about all of this. The bottom line is this is a Justice Department that views criminals as people to be coddled that views church goers as people to be spied upon. You talk about having your priorities backwards. They've got them totally upside down.

We're going to a little later in the show we're going to get to the fact that New York City has just decided to pay out with taxpayer funding millions of dollars to BLM protesters who tore apart our city a couple of years ago. Now we're going to pay them. We're going to put them they went out there trying to instigate trouble. Trouble came their way. And now we the law abiding citizens are going to have to pay out to them. I mean, that's absolute lunacy. And you've got at the same time our mayor Scott Adams finally going up to Albany.

And and saying sorry Eric Adams and saying you we need to fund the police. We need to take crime seriously. And the one we don't you know who suffers poor people poor people suffers suffer and and just saying the poor commit crimes and we shouldn't prosecute crimes hurts the poor a it's a lie. The poor don't commit crimes. And B it hurts the poor. That is in the wake of Lori life, but getting fired.

Lori life for the mayor of Chicago's all connected senator on the crime issue right we reward the BLM protesters finally the New York City mayor who's a former cop is saying we've been doing this wrong. I'm sure he's seen what happened to Lori like foot. And so the question is will the Democrats listen because the Republicans have been turned on to this for a while. Well, the Democrats listen.

I don't know that they will I will say that Merrick Garland tried to insist yesterday Megan that he's doing everything he can to come back crime. It's just simply not true though. And to your point about the BLM protesters look at what the Justice Department has done. The Justice Department has gone into court and has filed motions asking for lenient sentences or no sentences for rioters who torch buildings who assaulted cops.

I mean, you talk about again in this place priorities. They're asking for those folks to get off easy or not to be charged at all not to be sentenced at all. Meanwhile, they're out here knocking down the door beating down the door of pro life demonstrators. And I'm not making this up and we yesterday I asked Garland about the 25 to 30 SWAT agents FBI SWAT agents who are sent to the home.

Let me interrupt you centers. We can play it. I'll show the audience the moment you're referring to and then you can pick it up on the back side.

So are you telling me that in your opinion as attorney general, it was objectively necessary to use 20 or 30 SWAT style agents with long guns and ballistic shields for these people.

What I'm saying is that decisions about how to go about this were made on the ground by FBI. So you're saying you don't know. I'm saying what I just said, which is that you're abdicating responsibility. I'm not abdicating response.
