Video Transcript:
Earlier this month, a longtime FBI agent and SWAT team veteran called Steve Friend came forward to blow the whistle on what he has seen happen to the FBI under Joe Biden. And what he said was shocking.
According to Agent Friend, Biden's FBI routinely uses heavily armed SWAT teams to raid the homes of American citizens who dare to criticize the administration. Now, to be clear, these are people who pose no danger to anyone, these are people who haven't even been accused,
much less convicted of a violent crime. So the point is not to bring justice, the point is to terrify and intimidate Joe Biden's political opponents.
Hard to believe that's happening, but it is.
Last year, to name just 1 example, the FBI's Counterterrorism
Division raided the home of a 69-year-old
Red Cross volunteer called Joseph Bilanos.
An anonymous snitch had claimed that Bolanos was at the Capitol on January 6th. Not that he did anything
violent, but that he was there. It turns out that wasn't even true. It was a lie. But the feds moved forward and destroyed Bolanos' life anyway. They showed up with guns, they stole his electronic devices, and they refused to return them.
The whole experience was so traumatic that Joseph Blano suffered 2 strokes.
Well, on September 19th, the FBI suspended agent Steve Friend for daring to reveal what was happening, these abuses. Now it's illegal under federal law to punish whistleblowers, but
the FBI did it anyway.
And then, 4 days later, with friend out of the way, on the morning of September 23rd,
a team of nearly 30 FBI agents bristling with automatic weapons raided the home of yet another harmless man with no criminal record.
That man's name was Mark Hauck. Hauck is 47. He's a leader in his local Catholic community.
FBI agents pointed rifles at Hauck and his wife in front of their 7 children.
Once again, to be clear, Hauck is not a terrorist.
He's never been accused of terrorism.
He is instead a pro-life-er.
Hauck founded an organization called the Kings Men. It's a pro-life group that encourages men to be leaders in their communities.
Now, to give you a sense of who Hauck is, we want to play this for you. Here he is describing the experience he had
earlier this year, praying outside an abortion clinic with his son.
A woman came out who had an abortion
and we offered her some post abortion healing.
And
well, we just said, we'll pray for you. And as we were praying
the sorrowful mysteries, I brought my son over.
I said, come on, let's kneel down. We're gonna do this and we're gonna leave.
She got into it. She started attacking us personally while we were praying the sorrowful mysteries.
I said, son,
this is what the Lord's talking about
when he said they hated me, they're gonna hate you, they persecuted me, they're gonna persecute me.
I whispered this to him as she was spewing
all this vulgarity onto him and me.
And I just told him, this is what it's gonna take. This is what we have to do.
This is part of the journey.
So that's Mark Hauck. Now, he's a religious man. Not everyone is a religious person. Not everyone agrees with Mark Hauck. But there's no doubt that Mark Howe is a peaceful, is a nonviolent
person.
In October of last year, Howe was standing outside another abortion clinic in Pennsylvania. He was joined again by his 12 year old son. That's when a man approached and began harassing the boy.
So defend his son, Howe pushed the extremist back.
That was it. Local police looked into it, the district attorney's office looked into it.
Nobody pressed charges against Mark Hauck. Because it's not assault to protect your son from an extremist who's attacking him.
But the Biden Justice Department decided to revise
this view, and they charged Mark Hauk with a federal crime, a felony obstructing abortion access. There was no evidence that he had obstructed abortion access,
but that's what they charged him with.
Now, Hauk learned about 3 months ago that the DOJ planned to charge him and he offered to turn himself in voluntarily.
That's what a civilized country allows.
But that wasn't good enough for Merrick Garland's DOJ. They wanted to punish him and terrify his family, to send the right message to anyone who would dare get in the way of the Biden agenda.
So the DOJ sent a team of federal agents with rifles to Hauck's home.
He now faces 11
years in prison for protecting his son.
Now again, it's hard to believe that any of that actually happened, but it actually did. And to confirm it, we are joined now by Mark Haug's wife, Ryan Marie Haug, she was there when the FBI raided
her home and took her husband away. Mrs. Haug, thanks so much for joining us.
Tell us your, And I should say you're also joined by your attorney, whom we're grateful to have.
But first you must have,
what was this experience
like for you and for your children?
Well,
it was
devastating.
I mean, you can imagine
it's hard to even express
the victimization
and
how traumatized we all are
due to
this unnecessary
thing that happened to us, you know, so.
How many FBI agents,
it's hard even to imagine,
given that neither you know your husband nor any of your 7 children in charge of the violent crime are accused of violence.
How many FBI agents with guns would you estimate showed up at your house?
It had to have been
20, 25,
30. I mean
we have a large
property.
My entire
front
yard
You could barely see it. It was covered with at least
15
Big trucks and cars
and there were
you know, like I said 20 25 30
men women
completely
in jackets with shields and helmets and guns. And they were behind cars. It was, I mean, something I
never would expect to see on my front lawn.
It was crazy.
Yeah, I mean, maybe in China or Venezuela.
Peter Breen is your attorney.
And we're happy that you're here, Mr Breen.
Is this
have you ever seen anything like this ever in this country?
Not at all. This is reckless and outrageous.
It put the Haupt family in unnecessary danger.
And it was the sort of thing that when we've offered to bring him in,
didn't get a response,
and not just, even if you're gonna arrest a regular person, you just sent a couple agents, they'd knock on the door, not dragging the head of the family out, violating the sanctity of the home, pointing guns at them.
This was outrageous and uncalled for.
Were we right in saying that local authorities had assessed the altercation between Mr. Hauck and the extremists who attacked his son and decided not to press charges against anyone? Is that correct?
The Philadelphia DA refused to press charges, and he's not a friend of Prolife, he's a Soros ally.
Then the alleged victim filed a private criminal complaint, which eventually the local courts threw out because the guy couldn't be bothered to show up for the hearings.
So the local court system, which is where, if there were a crime committed on that sidewalk,
would have dealt with it, they said no. And so that is where this matter should have ended. This was not a federal crime.
We have controlling case law on that, strong defenses,
but instead they've taken an innocent man and made an example out of him, presumably to send a message to pro-life
people and people of faith across this country.
It's a terrifying
attack on civil liberties and on human rights.
I'm just going to point blank ask, if our viewers are interested in learning more or helping the Houck family
through this, is there some place they can go for details?
Well, we've set up a site, Defend Life Today, DefendLifeToday.com.
We have, we've got our whole Thomas Moret legal team on this because we, if we can push back against the Department of Justice here, we can get them to stop not do this again to someone else. We've also hired the best criminal defense attorney in Philadelphia, 1 of the best in the country to help us with this matter.
And that costs money, but we are going to make the commitment that we are going to take this all the way to succeed and hopefully prevail in the end, which we are confident of.
It's so horrifying that I really have to hope people are punished for real for this. And finally, Mrs. Howe, how are your children doing, I have to ask?
You know, it's hard to tell. The older ones, we can talk, we can cry.
We've had some counseling.
We have more counseling to do.
And the little ones, they're scared. They're scared. There's a lot of crying and a
lot of unrestful
sleep.
A lot of kids in our bed at night and in the morning. Well
I hope every 1 of those agents who showed up at your home with automatic weapons is watching this and feeling deep shame.
I really do.
Ryan Marie Hauck and Peter Breen, thank you very much.
