Richard “Ric” Grenell appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the new police state constructed around our nation’s capitol in Washington DC.
Bartiromo outlines the newly fortified security perimeter and the thousands of military troops that will be guarding Capitol Hill for an unknown amount of time. Questions are being asked about why DC needs to assemble a police state encampment. Who and what are they protecting themselves from?

Who are they protecting themselves from ?
1) The Boogie Man
2) Ghosts of Christmas Past
3) BLM/Antifa
4) MAGA Grannies
5) The Guy who killed Ashli Babbit
The stupid asses are trying to protect themselves from the consequences of their actions. They’ve managed to isolate and concentrate themselves in a small geographic area. This idiotic waste of military resources will not end well for our so-called betters.
“They” are following orders – don’t blame them.
Their superiors are terrified after hearing the report that John WIck was last seen having drinks with PDJT’s sons……………………………
????????????
Protecting Joe.
Access to him is denied and selective exposure when needed.
It’s Joe’s Basement Presidency just like his campaign.
The election was stolen and everyone knows it.
Can you still say that????
They are protecting themselves and their corrupt way of life from the citizens of this nation. We have become the enemy of DC bureaucrats and corrupt politicians. We are being robbed blind by the taxes, the printing of money and the indulgences distributed by the political class to the members of their club. DC has become a nation unto itself at war with the rest of this nation for wealth and power. They now protect themselves from us through the power of the police-military complex and federal lawyers. They must be stripped of their power and imprisoned for the destruction they have created.
In the days following the American Revolution, Jefferson became increasingly concerned about two tendencies he believed were intrinsically connected: the concentration of power in a centralized government, and the establishment of a [career class ]standing army.
They know in Washington DC, the election was stolen. The ‘cronies’ of Biden are acting like a dictatorship; they’re being true to their nature.
Just like in Medieval Times…the abusive King/Queen/Family aiming their destructive policies through fiat, oppressive taxation, policies against their subjects by sitting in a castle protected by a moat and royal guards.
The Moat and royal guards are the National Guard while DC proper is the Castle…
John Wick.
I think the fencing is being used for ‘optics’. As long as the fencing is there, (We The) people can be accused of attempting all kinds of misbehavior. Stories of potential civil disruption can go on forever. What ever the media or crazy politicians want to spew for the day.
Take the fencing down, they admit there is no more ‘threat’. They have to come up with something new. So as long as the fence ‘works’ they would keep it.
I remember seeing a picture of sheep peacefully grazing on the front lawn of the WH.
Now I look at what the idiots have done.
Seems like they are trying to protect themselves from the 100 million Trump supporters who would like to tar and feather them en masse (for starters.)
Are they fencing us out, or are we fencing them in? I would seriously like to know the entire chain of command above company level for these National Guard troops. Who is really in charge of Washington, DC, and the government? It certainly isn’t the stage-play Biden administration that looks increasingly ludicrous with each passing day.
Biden is certainly ludicrous, but the Rasputin(s) pulling his strings are not.
They come and go as they please so they are not really “fenced in” per the true meaning of the phrase. Plus, I would imagine there are multiple underground paths of access / egress, which are also guarded & barricaded with fortified gates.
I’d go along with an engineered asphalt coating and synthetic fibers. You know, the earth, birds…
Really causing regret we DIDN’T plan to “breach the Capitol” on Jan 6th, and, as you say tar and feather them on the Capitol steps, with the whole world watching.
Still, can’t help thinking we are 90% of the way there, just need to wait till they are all inside (Impeachment hoax was a great opportunity!) and then weld all the gates shut!
As a bonus, would have gotten much of the presstitutes, as well!
Set up guard towers, every 100′, with Nanzis machine guns, (pointing IN, of coarse) and send 90% of the NG home, with the rest to man the towers.
Can just throw food over the fence, or allow them to feed off each other, the way they have fed off us, for far too long.
1,000 up… Dutcman ..it may going happen bit other way…..
My thoughts were along the same line as yours. They love gated communities? Great! Let’s let them all in then move the locks to the outside of the fence and lock them all in. We the people can determine what is essential for them to have and supply them accordingly. This could be great fun!
“Set up guard towers, every 100′, with Nanzis machine guns, (pointing IN, of coarse) and send 90% of the NG home, with the rest to man the towers.
Can just throw food over the fence, or allow them to feed off each other…”
I’ll give that our national debt worth of LIKES!
My thoughts exactly on the night of January 6th. They should have been marched out and faced juries of their peers on the Capitol steps…with the whole world watching.
Maybe throw plague-infested rotten meat over the walls, per the movie Flesh & Blood (1985), which was a oft-used method of attacking fortified cities or enclaves in medieval times.
What the heck – they used biological warfare against us (covid-19).
My thoughts exactly.
It should be obvious to everyone. I think it’s getting there.
Trapped animals tend to get fierce.
Thanks to theri own machinations, they have built an impressive trap for themselves.
DC (let’s leave it at that) knows the events of the past five years are being judged harshly, now.
Truth will out.
Fences and young men’s lives only slows things down.
That’s another thing I hang on these “politicians’ .
… all that dishonesty could have been avoided.
All of that fencing is locked from the outside, not the inside. It’s like they are figuring out they might not be able to leave in a hurry.
Hahahaha! And that’s just for starters! You are the best, Seneca!
I want to know who is supplying the fencing and how much of the billion dollar cost is being funneled back to Pelosi and McConnell. Which Biden family member is on the BOD?
Halliburton?
Is that why Liz Cheney is frothing at the mouth?
Too true Seneca.I would pay good money to see that.But let us not forget about”piano wire”It’s cheaper than lead.
Whatever it takes.
Really hard to imagine that the most free country on earth has been turned into a police state. Had Trump did this they would still be reeeing…
I don’t think we’re the most free country on earth. Try not paying your taxes – and we have about zero control of our money once they get it.
I agree in part. Do you know of any country that you can not say the same about?
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/10-freest-countries-in-the-world.html
Looks like Norway, Sweden and Finland…although I suppose it depends on who is defining freedom.
ANY Republican President who put up barbed wire fencing around the Capitol and ordered NG troops to DC for an indefinite period of time would immediately be called a “Dictator in the Making” and the MSM would go into full hyperventilation mode 24/7! But Biden does it and we get crickets!! And anyone who dares to ask about it is suddenly a conspiracy theorist and a danger to democracy?
We are truly living in Bizarro World, are we not?
When Trump returned from Covid and went to a WH balcony and waved, they called him a dictator because dictators wave from balconies. No fencing required.
They sure know how to waste OUR money.?fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.0
ME and all my fellow patriots
Grenell is so right on this, they are so loving the exclusivity of the gates!
Why would biden need this? He won by a landslide and is the most beloved faux president ever elected!
Exactly, over 62% approval ratings for opening the borders and destroying thousands of jobs. Refusing to help our children get the education and socialization they need and making sure women never win another gold medal. What’s not to love.
From waiting for a seat at their favorite restaurant.
La Pork Buffet?
Nice one, Dutchman!
Probably more like: 炸猪排 (Chinese for Fried Pork)
Since they’re so enamored of the ChiComs…
They stole the election and everyone knows it.
The troops are there to prevent the criminals from escaping.
..we are lucky….they still did not get it……
Cowards. They are all cowards.
This, most of all !
I think Ted Lieu actually admitted that they were doing it to “force DJT to “admit” that fake joe and won the election “fair and square”. Please correct me if I am wrong folks.
I agree but believe it’s worse than that. I believe that the Capitol breach was staged but the riot that they were trying to create didn’t ignite like they were expecting it to. The video clips in Byrne’s piece are very telling:
https://www.deepcapture.com/2021/02/how-djt-lost-the-white-house-chapter-5-the-chaos-january-6-20/
Thanks. I’ve read his entire series and consider it a must read.
The best video at that link is the one near the bottom of the page “Everything Wrong with Capital” by Wooz News – has since been removed from YT. The analysis of the real time video is excellent.
But wait, I thought walls were bad? I am so confused!
/Sarc
They know they stole the election and that a sizable chunk of engaged and informed Americans know it.
They are scared.
They are right to be scared.
The disenfranchisement of over 74 million Americans – literally the biggest crime in US history.
Don’t let them get away with it.
military do not let them get away……
I wonder if the 60 day stand down ordered in order to purge patriots and traditionally conservative soldiers will work? If I was in the armed services I would be enraged at being subjected to a litmus test. I wonder if the dems are doing this for really sinister ends—-to desensitize troops to chute citizens if commanded to?
In my mind and from my age, I still see our soldiers as being like those from the Great Generation who won WWII–masculine, brave, honorable, respect-worthy.
But I realize now this might be a dream of yesterday, and today’s military may just “do as they are told” mindlessly. I hope not, because they are the last firewall between us and a totalitarian nightmare that could last decades.
The sheer terror the politicians must have felt on November 6th. Their guilt and self awareness of their grifting and malfeasance weighs heavy on their minds. And they were trapped like the rats they are. No where to run for safety, no real means of self defense, their own police department over run and in disarray. I still think some portion of them soiled themselves.
That’s why the fence and National Guard are still there. And it’s never going away unless we shame and ridicule them into ending it. They are scared to death we will come back in bigger numbers and with a more focused attitude.
They are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Correct. It can’t possibly be this easy to carry out the worst act of electoral fraud in the history of the world. Not with all the chesterfield Rambos on this website, ranting about the Second Amendment.
Sure it is, no one has gone to jail for the 5 year coup attempt .If you are a Dem you can commit any crime and no one will ever prosecute you. What a great gig.
Yeah, when the investigators and prosecutors and judges are in on it, all of a sudden it’s easy.
“They are scared to death we will come back in bigger numbers and with a more focused attitude.”
And they might be right …
If only
Would be nice to see AntiFa and blm go to DC and tear down the fencing
And there’s the dichotomy. You don’t see them anywhere near there do you? I’m wondering why?
Orders from Nancy and her gangster mob of D’s, to stand down.
Sorry Nan, no Mob reference intended, cough, cough…
My reference is to Nancy ordering BLM & Antifa to stand down…her paramilitary.
I agree with your 1st sentence. But I’m not sure I agree with your 2nd sentence as I don’t think feel guilt and self awareness–just fear for their own safety and well being as they want to be able to continue with their “grifting and malfeasance”.
I have not seen any evidence of their guilt, or self awareness, or anything weighing “heavy on their minds” for what they have done to the Constitution, the American people, and our way of life.
At this point I don’t think we even qualify as a banana republic !
The (perhaps) ultimate example of closing the barn door, after the cows got out.
WHAT could McConnell and Pelosi SAY?
“WE didn’t expect that many of Trumps supporters to show up, after he invited them!”
This despite ALMOST as many showing up, two weeks earlier, when he DIDN’T invite them?
“We didn’t expect violence, cause in previous DC Trump demonstrations, the ONLY violence was AGAINST Trump supporters (and that was perpetrated by “our” people).”
Or, as Grennell says, put it off to bad staff work.
Here on CTH, we had posters commenting on detailed reports that Antifa was planning on “infiltrating” the rally, dressed as “trump supporters” in order to cause trouble.
We didn’t know what KIND of trouble, but that trouble would happen was obvious,….
On California, the land of hypocrisy, they will scrutinise EVERY signature on the recall petition, but if successful they won’t scrutinise ANY signatures for the actual VOTE, nor even verify the identity of the voter. Weird,..
Of course, this is pure commie style propaganda by our Elite. They will spare no expense to perpetuate the false narrative of the great threat “to our democracy” from the “insurrectionists” and “domestic terriorists” while trying to pass legislation against us.
Since the Democommusists control the IC and about everything else, I predict they will fabricate some false threats to justify their control freak insanity.
They already DID stage a false flag event, in order to label us dommestic terrorists, on Jan 6th.
The troops are to maintain the false narrative.
Passive aggression on steroids.
Exactly !
Seems deep state is protecting themselves against mutiny and The military taking back the WH.
Could it be Sydney Powell and Trump’s legal team is still building up their case against election fraud? or prbably wishful thinking
That they are USING the military “for their protection” demonstrates they have NO FEAR of a military taking back the WH, so yes that IS a fantasy/wishful thinking.
However, Sidney is a pitbull, and ISN’T going to “let it go”, based on her performance on the Flynn case.
(Time to donate to her, AGAIN!)
ARIZONA legislature had the chance to throw Maracopa board in jail for contempt, instead they caved and allowed an uncertified outfit to do a fake audit,…very disappointing!
The Truth will out, and temporary wins will turn.
Obvious WHY “Trump is STILL living in their heads, rent free!”;
The “Trump effect” is STILL happening, even with him out of the Oval; look at Newsome and Cuomo, the poster boys for how NOT to deal with Covid, compared to Desantis, who did it right.
Compare and Contrast is a natural brain function, and even media and tech blackout can’t prevent it.
I don’t think it is wishful thinking. I think Trump et al know the Nation cannot survive a fraud election. Now it is just the timing. It is too early yet. After “hearing” for 4-years, people are now “seeing”. Next will come the “feeling”. However, it will all happen within the year.
I had a thought and you know they would be petty enough to do this. Maybe they figure it will cut down on tourism in DC and then effect POTUS hotel…in DC.
Possibly yes – but there will be “collateral” damage as it cuts down on traffic to ALL Hotels in the area.
Who – of whatever political persuasion – wants to visit DC as a tourist under the Current Conditions?
Even if President Trump were rightfully sitting in the WH – with troops and fencing all around, DC is the last place I personally would want to visit.
I have been to DC twice.
My first trip was in march just after 9/11. I reveled in the history. My family were essentially alone there ,no waiting at any museum. I stood in the dome of the library of congress and stared at the age of reason quotes stenciled above.
At the Ford theater my daughter sat in the Presidents chair (Where current presidents sit) not Lincolns box. We have pictures of the family all alone at the Lincoln memorial. We stayed at a hotel on Dupont Circle.
It was magical
I went again on the 6th. I stayed at the Mandarin two blocks from the mall. I can not adequately describe the feelings of dread and suffocation of evil that surrounded me. Although patriots were streaming in they didn’t belong there. This was Satan’s hive and we were trespassers.
I wondered how My beloved POTUS survived there. I honestly wondered if he would get out alive. I want Donald Trump back as President. I would prefer he never return to Washington. Turn the whole thing into a museum.
Watching him and Melania touch down in Florida was an incredible relief. The pure Joy on Melania’s face as she moved further away from DC that day brought tears to my eyes. I know she knows, Satan is real and he has decided to make his stand in DC
Thank you for sharing your experiences. They are both very powerful and speak volumes about our country at two critical points in our history.
Melania’s clothes that day said a lot. Somber and plain in DC; vibrant with happy color and playful shapes in FL.
Indeed! I envision the following conversation–
Grandma: ” Look there, that is The Peoples’ House!”
Grandson: ” Then why are we the people fenced out and can’t go in?”
Grandma: ” Uhhhh……Mmmmm…..Oh, look there, a Congressperson!”
Grandson: “Why is he surrounded by armed guards inside the fence?”
Grandma: “Well,….oh look, lets go get a hotdog, at least that is American!”
Probably plant based hot dog cause you know orange an bad. PLEASE read the sarcasm
Blaming it on the staff us a cop out. The back stops at the top.
These DC goofballs actually think they are safe behind their fence and a couple thousand National Guard troops. They really have no clue
Wait till they are forced to run the gauntlet.. to the airport.. LOL
These rats are never coming up for air any where near us Plebeians.
If and when the Patriots decide to put Trump back in office where he rightfully belongs, that silly fence would be torn down in a heartbeat.
So who is going to protect the D Senators and House members from the R Senator’s and House members some of the nut jobs claim are out to kill them ?
Thequestion isn’t from whom, we know that answer
The question then is “what are they ABOUT TO DO that they KNOW this will be needed to protect them as a result”
That is the real question we need to work out.
It’s about what they did.
Hence the censorship.
They are wondering will Americans accept this.
77 million people 435 people on the hill. That’s why.
Just my option Debrorah. Hope your having a wonderful day.?
Opinion ugh damn autocorrect got me sounding like Joe Biden ..
Once they lose the “consent of the governed” due to lack of faith in the integrity of the system ; those 535 politicians and the bureaucrats who work for them will realize what a minority they really are and what little power they have.
Should be 542 “politicians. The only SCJs I see with any jurisprudence left are Alito and Thomas, the rest are politicians in black robes. It is unfortunate even PDJT’s nominees have no personal integrity or honesty left.
If I was them I would be worried about the soldiers “protecting” them.
Their enemies (me) can easily get into DC, pose as an illegal immigrant caravan. Don’t tell the FIB.
That interview was a tiaras waste of time.
As Sundance says act like they don’t know.
Everybody and their brother knew something was going to happen in DC.
Agin tho it’s the same ol interviews we always get.
Maria afraid to dive in and ask the real questions we all want and know.
Just gets up to her knees then backs out etc etc.
Yeah they are going to verify every signature. Cause it works out for Dems.
What about the election Maria.. ugg
Sundance cheers my freind. ??
Trump was in Ohio today I read.
Why didn’t Maria press Grinnell on WHY this troop presence?
Like the Wizard OF Oz …… No one gets in to see the Wizzard..
NO ONE!
Sundance feel free to use that!
Where’s little Toto when you need him?
The troops are costing half a billion dollars. These men and women also have families who NEED them . SEND them home. Shame on the Governors who are allowing their troops to stay there.
500 million dollars for them to stay until March. If they are to stay throughout 2021, the cost will be staggering! Too bad the cost can’t come out of some of the funds appropriated for DC combined with the funds that were appropriated for the southern border wall but not spent.
The congresscritters and staff who work in the capitol building should pay for their protection detail themselves.
They should be required to protect them in the same way we must protect ourselves–with a phone and the numbers 9-1-1.
Maybe that is where we start call your Governor tell him to bring the NG home. Put the pressure on the Governors?
They are nothing but yellow belly pink pussy hatted politicians, and they always have been. No guts and that is why they will never get the glory. Despised by all, and more so every day.
Afraid of the “whirlwind” Schumer called for, #HeelsUp is drumming up bail money for, and that Bowwow Bowser named a public street after. They know it is time to pay the piper.
I say we start calling everyone and say for every day their wall is up and they are being guarded they need to continue building our sourthern border wall, and that includes retroactive to however many days the construction has stopped. AND all people who came in during this period can turn around and go back, by force, if necessary.
They are afraid of snipers.
They should be.
Why aren’t our elected members doing anything about the National Guard and the fencing.. . I thought they were supposed to fight for us. Our taxes are paying for this bs.
With the proven lack of integrity in the election machines are you really SURE they are our “elected” representatives?
He knows the reason but I love how he is placing everything onto Pelosi. It’s all her fault now. I love it.
Almost as if they feel guilty about something
It’s largely been memory-holed by the democrat media, but does anyone remember the nationwide, year long crime wave of assaults, public lewdness, vandalism, arsons, thefts, trespassing several murders and a few rapes committed by mobs of agitated economic morons a/k/a “Occupy Wall St.” ?
Republican’s failure to hold 0bama to task for helping agitate and then embracing this mob a decade ago is just one of the reasons the political landscape looks like it does today…..and then there’s all those visits to the 0bama White House by the BLM thugs..

I admire Richard Grenell but first and foremost he is a diplomat. He’d have to cut through a huge amount of bs to run for governor of California. I hope he gets the job since California in such sad shape.
Maybe they are protecting themselves not only because of all the things they’ve done in the last 4/5 years, but what they plan to do in the next year-They know we aren’t going to like it!
What I didn’t realize was the extent of Militia scattered throughout the Country. This is well organized, connected and growing. What is also a thought; How many of our military troops who would be loyal to Biden if push comes to shove?
The stakes are Communism-style government vs Constitutional freedom-style government.
I’m of the opinion this is all for when they will soon attempt to disarm us all.
” Questions are being asked about why DC needs to assemble a police state encampment.”
Our Founders already answered that.
When a government wishes to deprive its citizens of freedom, and reduce them to slavery, it generally makes use of a standing army.
– Luther Martin, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe
-James Madison (“The Father of the United States Constitution”)

Whenever a Republican is getting some air time, they need to ask: “How much is this security costing the tax payer?”
They are trying to lure us into a fight and humiliate us.
Oh the irony. Deep State protecting themselves with a militarized border wall.
Our military personnel can’t be happy knowing they are ultimately working for China.
Th big majority is too much in the dark to know that. They listen to abc, cbs, nbc and pentagon propaganda, not to CTH nor GateWay nor AmericanThinker.
They hide behind the lawfare that they have created. In this country we will never get the truth and justice. But if Ukraine or Myanmar or any countries that have proof of guilt and warrants for arrest for just the littlest of these guys and they are put on trial, the pendulum starts to swing the other way. My hope is for the Abraham accords to hold firm and any tampering be dealt a swift justice not seen in America since WWII.
This is about the world and I pray that the world is looking at President Trumps words and accomplishments and see that the old way is not the way of the future. Endless wars are not the answer but peace and every country working together with what they can offer to the other nations of this world in a fair and balanced way.
But 1st the truth must be told and it needs to come from 1 of our nation state friends courts of justice because our courts are not capable of justice. The LT. Gen. Flynn case comes to mind along with no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges or 2 bullshit impeachments, you know there’s more that’s just a start.
It’s clear to me that the Democrats don’t ever plan to relinquish power. I predict they will continue to fortify their seat of power in D.C.
They have already “fortified” our electoral system.
Thats what their counterparts in 1933 Germany did.
When a crime gang finishes a heist, they usually guard the loot with guns.
Our government has been stolen from us.
There is not a lot of difference between a castle and a prison. Just which side of the door the locks are on.
They think they’ve built a fortified castle for themselves. Americans must turn it into their prison.
they are already in semi-prison all 535 beauties….they just do not know it……..
