1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Warning you're about to enter the arena and join the

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: battle to.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: Save America with your host Sean Parnell.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: show where we kick ass and take names in lockhorns

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: with the radical left. We never quit, we never surrender.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: From sea to Shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: Patriots on this glorious Tuesday. You know who we have

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: on deck today? We have a great American patriot named

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: Steve Friend, former FBI agent whistleblower. He's a best selling

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: author of a book called True Blue. He's on deck

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. I'm super psyched

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: to have him. He's a first time guest. He's a

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: first timer here on Battleground Live, and it is an

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: honor to have him. Folks in the live chat, I

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: want you to give him a warm welcome when he

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: comes on. Support everything that this guy does because he's

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: a great American patriot. Folks, I've got to tell you

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: so much going on today, and also, yeah, it's a

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: tough time to do a show many of you all.

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Just a couple of personal anecdotes before we get into things.

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I saw, Yeah, I Am. It's been a crazy, crazy

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: time obviously with Thanksgiving and Christmas. That makes it crazy.

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Right now, it looks like a Christmas bomb went off

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: in my house and no I know, Commander Melanie is listening.

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: That does not meet in the house is messy. It's not.

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: But we're unpacking all of our Christmas stuff and it's everywhere,

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: so it's out, but the decorations are not up. We

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: also have the elves on the shelves out, which causes

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of consternation in this family because I

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: love the elves. Commander Melanie does not. She sees the

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: elves as like a weird Christmas Big Brother type things

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: where she does not want the elves flying back to

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Santa and telling Santa about the kids. Melanie takes her

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: privacy very, very very seriously, So Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping for

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: five kids makes things a little bit crazy. I'm sure

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: you all understand. And then with Emma, my middle daughter,

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: making the basketball team, all of her games we just

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: found out are at three point thirty, so it's very

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: important to me to be there for all the kids

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: at their games, understanding that you know, sometimes you're gonna

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: miss them. But I've got to figure out something. So

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: it ran over to the school today and at this

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: point they're just scrimmages. So we ran over today at

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: like three point thirty and poked our head in the gym,

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: and no other parents were there, so we didn't want

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: to embarrass her, so we skulked our way out of

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: the building. So at any rate, if you're sensing that

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm busy, it's it's you're right. It's just a crazy

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: time of year. And add to all of the personal stuff,

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the Trump transition stuff, folks, you know a lot of

52
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: the people who I've had on this show are gonna

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: be cabinet level officials in the next Trump administration. Cash

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Bettel is one of those people. And you know, I

55
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: know these people. I've known them, most of them for

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: quite some time. Pete Hegseth obviously is one of my buddies.

57
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: He's my buddy before he was actually a host on

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends. I'm not name dropping any of this stuff.

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: I hate when people do that shit. But what I'm

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you is that because I've known him,

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: you can imagine the calls that I'm getting from reporters

62
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: about this NonStop slow drip character assassination of Pete. And listen, yes,

63
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: when Pete was younger, he made some mistakes. When I've

64
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday, when when veterans come back from combat, yeah,

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: guess what we drink? Yeah, I guess what? Sometimes we

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: do stupid things. I've done this as well. But Pete

67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Hegseth in his twenties is not the Pete hegsett that

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: is being nominated for Secretary of Defense today. And then

69
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: added on top of all that, and this is what

70
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: the deep state does a lot with, especially the defense

71
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: industrial complex, the military industrial complex, oftentimes, what they do

72
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: when they're opposed to somebody that would potentially bring about

73
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: reform because remember, big bloated bureaucracies love the status quo

74
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: because the money keeps flowing, people keep being promoted. They

75
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: don't like any disruption in that. And anybody that represents

76
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: a disruption is a threat. And that's exactly put in

77
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: very simple terms, what Pete Hegseth represents to the military

78
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: industrial complex. Somebody that's going to reform the department of

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: a Department of Defense, somebody who said so openly, who's

80
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: written books about this, and they don't like that. So

81
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: what they do is they try to destroy this person.

82
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: So they take what is a kernel of truth and

83
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: they weave a web of lies around it that is

84
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: so thick that it becomes almost impossible to refute all

85
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: of these allegations. Talking specifically or just one example of

86
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: this is the New Yorker piece that came out on

87
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth yesterday. I've known Pete since the beginning of

88
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: our days at Concerned Veterans for America. In fact, I

89
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: talked about this stuff before Pete was even nominated for

90
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: the job on the show. The exceptional work that we've done.

91
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: There were so many lies within that hit piece. Put

92
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: yourself in Pete's shoes. His job right now is to

93
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: meet with US senators. There are fifty of them that

94
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: he needs to convince. Those hit pieces, while they're intended

95
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: to shape public sentiment, intended to assassinate his character, those

96
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: hit pieces are meant for those fifty plus now Republican senators.

97
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: The hope is to try to chill a couple of

98
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: them out from voting on Pete. That's exactly what the

99
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: goal is. But there were so many lies within that piece,

100
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: that hit piece against them. I mean, imagine if you're Pete,

101
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: you're navigating this process, there is no feasible way for

102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: you to sit down with the great many reporters who

103
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: are writing these hit pieces of which there are many

104
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: many allegations out there. It is impossible for him to

105
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: refute each and every one of them. And I'm here

106
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: to tell you as somebody who's been through that that's

107
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: exactly the point. And so the way in which Republicans

108
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: should approach this is with great skepticism, but not be

109
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: shy about rising up in defense of our people. The

110
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: deep state, the blob and Trench's bureaucrats, call them whatever

111
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: you want, their allies in the media, the left wing,

112
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress. They rely on you being silent,

113
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and that silence can oftentimes lead to you know, candidate,

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: a candidate's demise or nominees. It could lead to their

115
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: demise too in front of the Senate. So that's precisely

116
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: what these allegations are all about, to chill allies from

117
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: getting involved in his support, to chill US senators, Republican

118
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: senators for voting for his nomination. But we can't allow

119
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: that to happen, and the best way to defeat it

120
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: is by speaking out against it. So I've got Steve

121
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: friend here on deck. I want to get to him

122
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: in a second. I don't want to waste even a

123
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: second's time with him. But let me tell you, protecting

124
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: our families and homes is essential, but are we truly prepared?

125
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Break Ins happen every twenty five seconds. Even with a

126
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: security system, can it really keep intruders out? Layer your

127
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: defenses to buy yourself time. Start with Saber driveway alerts

128
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: to know when someone approaching, paired with floodlights to deter them.

129
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: Sabers door security bars reinforce your front and back doors,

130
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: stopping up to six one hundred and fifty pounds of

131
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: force to secure entry points even when you're not home,

132
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and if you are home, many invasions happen at night.

133
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Sabers Home Defense Launcher is the ultimate choice to protect

134
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: yourself and family. Saber projectiles hit hard, causing intense pain

Speaker 2: of Savannah, Georgia. Was a police officer there for a

160
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 2: number of years. And then how old are your kids?

161
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: How old are your kids?

162
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: Ten and seven?

163
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're right, you're right in that very interesting

164
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: age ten and seven. Father too, So were you a

165
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: police officer when you your first kid?

166
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: I was a police officer. The day I met my

167
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: wife was the day I got my badge. I didn't

168
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: have a single day as a single cop.

169
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: So she didn't know what she was getting into, and

170
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: she married you.

171
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: She's just always known me as a law enforcement guy.

172
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: But you know, we're in the happy age right now

173
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: where they can kind of take care of themselves and

174
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: they don't resent me yet, so it's it's.

175
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: Pretty sposed sailing for a couple of years.

176
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, Like we have five, so I've got

177
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I've got a senior right so she's driving now. I

178
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: have a fifteen year old going on sixteen. I have

179
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: two fourteen year olds, while fourteen year old and a

180
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: thirteen year old, and then an eleven year old. So

181
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: we've got all ages. And the only one that still

182
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: has like a baby voice is my eleven year old.

183
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: But that's going quick.

184
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: You know.

185
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: All the rest of them, I feel like they they

186
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: are not afraid to push back against me. Let's just

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: say that. So, yes, it definitely gets more. It definitely

188
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: gets more challenging. Man.

189
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Now I tell my kids, I was like, look, why

190
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: do you think I work out? Because the day that

191
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: you can beat me up is the day I go

192
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: into a home. So I just got to keep going

193
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: at there.

194
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Okay, So police officer in Savannah, how do you find

195
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: your way into the FBI.

196
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, my wife's actually from Ukraine and she speaks multiple languages.

197
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: And the time that we first were dating, she was

198
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: looking at her.

199
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: How did you meet your wife? How did she's here?

200
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: She is? She a US citizen?

201
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: She is?

202
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: She is she She came over to the United States

203
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: her her biological dad died when she was really young,

204
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: and her mother married to Ukrainian. She moved over in

205
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: high school and we actually met in high school, so

206
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: we were we were acquainted with each other, and then

207
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: went our separate pass and I went to college. She

208
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: went to college different and then when I came back

209
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: and decided that I didn't want to be an accountant.

210
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: After one tech season, I went into become a police officer.

211
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: And she was a friend of one of the girls

212
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: who was in my police academy, I was friends with

213
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: her and said, hey, can you hook me up with

214
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: one of your friends, because now I've got a uniform,

215
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: i got health insurance.

216
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm looking to settle down.

217
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: And that she happened to be the woman that I

218
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: was introduced to, and she, because of her language skills,

219
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: was looking into the FBI decided that she didn't want.

220
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: To go that route, and then she got into my

221
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: ear about it.

222
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: And I'd also considered going into higher levels of law

223
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: enforcement because just being a patrol officer is a lot

224
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: of fun, but after a while, it's the same thing

225
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: every day. You don't get to see things all the

226
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: way through. You know, it's sort of nice to come

227
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: in with a fresh slate to shift, but when you

228
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: make that big arrest and you never get to be

229
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: involved in that, it's kind of leaves you wondering like, well,

230
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: what else can I take this? So the FBI looked

231
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: like a natural fit for me. Had an accounting degree

232
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: law enforcement, wound up applying. It took four years to

233
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: actually get hired, but got on in twenty fourteen. And then,

234
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: as is the mythos of the FBI, where they assign

235
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: you to your first office. The rumor is that it's

236
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: a monkey throwing darts at a map. They said, Steve,

237
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: you are going to Sioux City, Iowa, and transferred there

238
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: right out of the Chuote to go work on Indian

239
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: reservations in northeast Nebraska. So we were there for seven years.

240
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: Investigated violent crimes and it was really a unique Niche

241
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 2: get a lot of reps. I opened about two hundred cases,

242
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: arrested about one hundred and fifty criminals while I was

243
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: out there in seven years, went to trial eight times,

244
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: was on the SWAT team. Really enjoyed my time there

245
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: and probably would have stayed there, but wanted to get

246
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: closer to home. Both of our families are in Savannah,

247
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: and had the opportunity after a certain length of time

248
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: because they have a hard time staffing those offices because

249
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: it's so remote, and because the work is so luminous,

250
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: you get a benefit. So we exercised the ben fit

251
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: and went to Daytona Beach in twenty twenty one and

252
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: took the transfer to work on child pornography cases and

253
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: human trafficking, but after a couple of months was officially

254
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: reassigned to work on the Joint Terrorism Task Force to

255
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: focus on January sixth, the domestic terrorism angle of the FBI.

256
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: That is, okay, we got we got to talk about

257
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: this because I talk about January sixth on the program

258
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: all the time. So you get assigned to what was

259
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: it the Joint Terrorism Task.

260
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: Force JTTF yep, and.

261
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: They assign you to January sixth cases? Is that? When

262
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: you were like, is that? How tell me about that?

263
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: How does that? How does that even work? Like our

264
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: agents like, wait a second, this is bullshit, I mean,

265
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: how do you give me a sense of what that

266
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: was like?

267
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: So the timeline is important because I got transferred. At

268
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: the end of the fiscal year, they're going to reassign

269
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: the bodies because they have a quota system for how

270
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: they allocate their people and actually the number of cases

271
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: that they have to have, which ultimately was one of

272
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: the whistleblower disclosures I made. But at that point it's

273
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: in October of twenty twenty one, so nine months after

274
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: January sixth, I had no involvement with it. So they

275
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: moved me on over. They told me child pornography not

276
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: a priority. You're not supposed to look at it anymore.

277
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: Refer to locals, and.

278
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: I look at the cases that we have, and what

279
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: they're doing is not what they're supposed to do. And

280
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: I kind of chalk it up at first, too, Well,

281
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: you guys are terrorism guys.

282
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe it's different.

283
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: But then it becomes more and more clear that they

284
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: are uniquely departed from the rules on these January sixth

285
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: cases specifically, But there wasn't anything to do on them.

286
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: They'd already been investigated, they'd already done the interviews and

287
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: reviewed all the evidence.

288
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: And they said, Steve, we're waiting for Washington DC to

289
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: tell us what to do. And that's inappropriate. It's your case.

290
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: What do you mean you're waiting to be told what

291
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: to do. So all those things are starting to percolate

292
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: in my mind, and eventually it occurs to me that, well,

293
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense. Why do we have a different

294
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: case for every single person.

295
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: This is one incident.

296
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: And they said, well, we asked about that, and we

297
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: were told that this is to get buy.

298
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: In from the field.

299
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: So they opened a separate case for every single person,

300
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: and if they lived in Daytona, it became a terrorism

301
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: case in Daytona and that's the manipulation.

302
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: So now you have thousands of cases.

303
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: They've been spread around the country, and it looks like

304
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: terrorism if you look at the map, because Merrick Garland

305
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: or Christopher Ray or Joe Biden will get up there

306
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: and say domestic terrorism is on the rise. Statistically, the

307
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: FBI tells us that, well, it's because they're juking the stats,

308
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: and they're doing.

309
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: That, so that is absolutely insane. How are you This

310
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: is crazy to me. I'm like, oh, doesn't it surprise

311
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: me that the FBI is juking the stacks because the stats,

312
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: because the crime stats. I mean, I always attribute that

313
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: to the Democrats, you know. Oh look they said time

314
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: and time again during the press cindential race that oh look,

315
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: crime is down, crime is down, crime is down. I'm like, well, yeah,

316
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: crime is down if you don't include some of the

317
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: biggest crime bred in cities in the country like Detroit

318
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles and New York who don't report their

319
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: crime stats to the FBI. But this is different.

320
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: So there's two elements of it too, because they want

321
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 2: to bring the nationwide crime down, because police chiefs want

322
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: to look good, the sheriffs want to look good. Hey,

323
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: we're bringing crime down. But the FBI is incentivized to

324
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: bring crime up because they get more budget if they

325
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: are viewed as being more productive, because they have a system,

326
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: a protocol that is called IPM Integrated Program Management.

327
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: It's very bureaucratic speak.

328
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: It's a quota that says you have to open a

329
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: certain number of cases and arrest a certain number of

330
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: people and use specific tools. So they would say, do

331
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: you think you can get a wire tap on that

332
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: case because we have to hit the quota for wire taps,

333
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: And they set the metrics to something that they can

334
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: achieve ordinarily, and they want to do that because the

335
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: bosses and all the field offices get fifty thousand dollars

336
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: bonuses when you hit the quotas.

337
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me. So we got to

338
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: go back to this. So they take you off of

339
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: child pornography cases to me, essentially essentially sending the message

340
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: that J sixers are more important crimes to prosecute than

341
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: child pornographers. Do I have this right?

342
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

343
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: Child pornography they call it child sexual abuse material ce SAM.

344
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: It is the lowest priority that in actually Indian reservations

345
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: are the lowest priority cases for the FBI, and it's

346
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: the most vulnerable people. But they're actually the only two

347
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: violations that you can say I can't handle it. I

348
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 2: want to beg out of it, and they will accommodate that.

349
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: But if I had a problem with the way that

350
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: they were managing the January sixth cases, and then subsequently

351
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: to that, they had interviewed one of the subjects that

352
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: they eventually got the directive to go arrest and they

353
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: said they were going to send a SWAT team to

354
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: go and arrest him. It was eighteen months since he'd

355
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: been interviewed, and in his interview he said, I'll cooperate.

356
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not comfortable with that. That seems like

357
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: a Waco that's ready to happen. That seems like a

358
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: ruby ridge. And he has no expectation. He says he's

359
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: going to cooperate. Whytn't you come on the phone, Why

360
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: don't get in touch with his lawyer? Want you to

361
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: send a local deputy to his house asolutely? And they said, well,

362
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 2: we've we've considered all those things and we have deemed

363
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: that SWAT is.

364
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: The most appropriate way to bring him into custody.

365
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: So between the juking and the stats and using the

366
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: SWAT teams. The first opportunity that there was going to

367
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: be a rest in my office was when I went

368
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: to my boss and I said, what we're doing is wrong.

369
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: You guys gave me training on this. We went to

370
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: the Holocaust Memorial Museum. We go to the MLK Memorial Museum,

371
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: and you're told that you have to throw the flag

372
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: if you believe that we're off the rails.

373
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: We're off the rails. I'm throwing the.

374
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: Flag here, and within within a month I was out

375
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: on my butt.

376
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: They suspended my security clearance.

377
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: You know. It was after some several meetings, and they

378
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: basically set you up to be indefinitely suspended forever because

379
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: while they claim that I wasn't retaliated against for making

380
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: any protected disclosures, they said that my security clearance was

381
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: questioned and had to be suspended because I might have

382
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 2: lacked loyalty to the country. And the evidence that they

383
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: used for that was that I looked at the employee

384
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: henbook improperly.

385
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: According to them.

386
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, Steve, I did not anticipate going

387
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: down this path with you, but this is crazy. So

388
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: here you're one of the good guys. I say on

389
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: the show all the time, you know, whether we're talking

390
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: about COVID or talking about the FBI. Where are all

391
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: the agents that say, wait a second, this is bullshit.

392
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: All the agents that say, now, I'm not just going

393
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: to follow orders on this one, this is messed up. Well,

394
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: you're one of those people, and they talked you out.

395
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: I had a sit down meeting with some of the

396
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: executives in my office.

397
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 3: It was the FBI Jacksonville Field office.

398
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: Had about an hour and a half conversation with them,

399
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: and it was pretty clear they're trying to set me

400
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: up to say that I was being insubordinate and refusing

401
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: to do my job. And at one point I said,

402
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: I am doing my job. I'm following my training. I'm

403
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: following my oath of office. And they said, you have

404
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: an oath of office, you have a training, but your

405
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: duty is to the FBI, so you should set an

406
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: example for your children and just follow orders.

407
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: Are you?

408
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: I have it audio recorded. I have the entire interview

409
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: with those guys recorded.

410
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: God bless my wife. She said you better go in

411
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: there and take it.

412
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: That's a yeah, that's amazing that she's a she's such

413
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: a fighter like that. I happen to be very lucky.

414
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, my wife is super smart like that too.

415
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: But holy shit, man, excuse my language forever. Ear must

416
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: of people who are listening and watching, But this is

417
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm so glad to have you on here,

418
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: because you know, the whole subject of the show is

419
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: weaponized American justice, and there's no better person to talk

420
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: about this than you. So these January six ers, I mean,

421
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: so God, where to how do I even go from here?

422
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: So they've got thousands of cases spread out all across

423
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: the country and these are just j six grandmas of

424
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: a sixty five year old woman who maybe walked into

425
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: the Capitol after being let in by the Capitol Hill police.

426
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: And the FBI is they're hunting these types of people.

427
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: They're actually on the books, most of them as criminal cases,

428
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: a riot, a parading charge. But the FBI is still

429
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 2: calling them terrorism so they can keep continuing to hit

430
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: their stats on domestic terrorism. And yes, they're all around

431
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: the country. They are still up until January twentieth and beyond.

432
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: If reform isn't they are right away they're going to

433
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: be continuing to charge people because they've been able.

434
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: To hit their quotas for four fiscal years on this.

435
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: And look, I was told when I first raised the concerns,

436
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: you can't object because we're going to start charging people

437
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: who didn't actually go in the building.

438
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: We want to get people who are just on the law.

439
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: We're going to say that that was a restricted area

440
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: and we will get them because we really have to

441
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: send a message here. This is a complete boondoggle. You've

442
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: got people who are personally enriching themselves. You've got people

443
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: who are saying, you'll hear a lot the refrain this

444
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: is our nine to eleven. And when they say this

445
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: is our nine to eleven, we kind of our tongue

446
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: in cheek, rolling our eyes, like, really, you think January

447
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: sixth was as bad as nine to eleven. Nine hundred

448
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: and seventy seven people died. But really, what they mean

449
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 2: is this is an opportunity for anyone who wants to

450
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: promote to say that they were involved in the January

451
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: sixth investigation, and that's going to be their meal ticket

452
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: for the rest of their career. They can just say

453
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: I had some sort of managerial responsibility on the largest

454
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: and most complex investigation in the history of the FBI,

455
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: and they've made it so the amount of resources that

456
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: they've expended on this, the manpower, they devoted so much

457
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: manpower to this that they almost came short. They've panicked

458
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: in the final month of the fiscal year last year

459
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: that they almost came short of devoting enough time to

460
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: other violations because they just pulled people away.

461
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: From im you were doing.

462
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not shocked by this, but I can't help. I

463
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: can't help, but but not be shocked. You know, I

464
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: knew at some level the FBI was diverting a ton

465
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: of resources to January sixth cases, to me, which is

466
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: just ridiculous while simultaneously ignoring actual criminals. And that's why

467
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: things seem like they're so upside down in this country.

468
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, I say this all the time.

469
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Things really do seem like they're upside down. I want

470
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: to get your opinion on this Daniel Penny thing up

471
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: in New York here in a second, But I gotta

472
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: ask before that, who is making the decision to say no,

473
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: it's got to be a swat team, you know, because

474
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: there are so many times I'll read, you know, a

475
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: report like say, I think it was an eighty year

476
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: old man out in Idaho. He was like, had a limp,

477
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: he was overweight. He was posting some kind of crazy

478
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: stuff on Facebook. The FBI had already visited him once.

479
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Clearly they recognized that he wasn't a threat and his neighbors,

480
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: he was well liked in his community. People thought that

481
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: he was a nice guy. The FBI could have interdicted

482
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: him one of a hundred ways. Approach him on the

483
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: on the on his porch, drinking coffee, knocking his door

484
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: during daylight, interdict him at the grocery store while he's shopping.

485
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on and on and on.

486
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: But to swat team rate him in the middle of

487
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: the night, like and the guy answers the door with

488
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: a gun and gets shot to death. I can't help you.

489
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: You're talking about Utah and it's.

490
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Utah, Utah.

491
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's even worse than that. So what happened with

492
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: that guy was obviously emotion disturbed. He made threats against

493
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg. The FBI visited him and then he said,

494
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: I'm not talking to you. They left, and then he

495
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 2: went online and made threats against the FBI. Then the

496
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: FBI took no action for like three or four months,

497
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: which would seem to lend credence to the theory that

498
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: he's not.

499
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 3: An actual true threat.

500
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: Correct, correct, But.

501
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: Then he made threats against Joe Biden. They the FBI

502
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: jumped in front of the Secret Service and said, no, no,

503
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: we have an ongoing investigation in which they'd stretched out

504
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: and decides to send the SWAT team when yes, he

505
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: was handicapped. He actually had a mentally handicapped son who

506
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: he was in the care of. They could have just

507
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: interdicted him on his way to the mailbox, they'd already

508
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: interacted with him, but they deem that to be the

509
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: appropriate use. And often when you choose the tool, you

510
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: choose the outcome. When you send the SWAT team, that's

511
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 2: the most likely time that there actually is going to

512
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: be an agent involved shooting. And SWAT's a legitimate tool.

513
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: I did it for five years, But the FBI is

514
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: making the process the punishment so many and particularly on

515
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: January sixth, so many of these instances, it's wholly inappropriate,

516
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: and they are looking at the outcome instead of the process.

517
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: And this is not just for SWAT, it's for the

518
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: entire agency. Your prime directive in law enforcement for government

519
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: in general is to follow the process. Victory is in

520
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: following due process. I gather facts, I present dent them

521
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: at court, and the jury renders its verdict. If the

522
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: jury says not guilty, it's because the facts didn't support

523
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: a conviction, not because I didn't do my job.

524
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 3: I did my job. That's the victory.

525
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: But when you're interested in the outcome, that's when you

526
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: cut corns. That's when you manipulate the process, as they've

527
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: done for January sixth.

528
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: And this is outside the FBI.

529
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: But the most egregious example, and the best one I

530
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: point to for this is Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby drugged

531
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: and sexual assaulted numerous women, and then he was called

532
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: in and had a conversation behind closed doors with the prosecutor,

533
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: and the prosecutor said, tell me what happened and I

534
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: won't use it against you, and Bill Cosby did, and

535
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: then the prosecutor violated that and charged him, and then

536
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: Bill Cosby walked free because the government didn't follow the process.

537
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 2: And now those young ladies will never see justice, and

538
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: it's the fault of the government for that. That's what

539
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: happens when you get let the outcome be in the

540
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 2: way of what your actual charge is, and that's to

541
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: follow the rules for allow the constitution, follow the process.

542
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: You're not a system disruptor when you work law enforcement,

543
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: you're a system idealist.

544
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: The system disruptors are in Silicon Valley. That's in the

545
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: private sector.

546
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: But in the public sector, the system disruptors, they're the

547
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: bad guys. They're the criminals who are disrupting our way

548
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: of life. They're disrupting our justice system, our polite society,

549
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: and it's your job to bring.

550
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Balance to that. But now the bad guys are the FBI.

551
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: Well, well exactly, yeah, the bad guys are the FBI.

552
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: And not only that. We talked about Alvin Bragg, what's

553
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 1: happening in the Manhattan Prosecutor's office, and I think that

554
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: what the DA's office up there in Manhattan and what

555
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: they're doing to Daniel Penny. You know, witness statements from

556
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: people who are actually in the trial are talking about

557
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: These are lawyers that are actually they're watching the trial

558
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: but not involved in trying it, are saying this is

559
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: an absolute miscarriage of justice. Here. You have a man

560
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: who is a good samaritan that stepped in to protect people,

561
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: and he's being tried for manslaughter or I think murder either.

562
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: To me, like both are pretty damn bad. And you've

563
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: got criminals in New York every single day, some of

564
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: them are violent, being let off scott free without bail,

565
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: right back out onto the streets. So the system itself,

566
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: so it's not just what scares me. What scares me, Steve,

567
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: is that you have obviously agents FBI agents who are

568
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: interested in the outcome and cutting corners like crazy, like

569
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: you said, but you also have a system of justice,

570
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: especially in these radical left wing areas, that is also corrupt.

571
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: And to me, this is like a very very dangerous

572
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: thing that does not just end with Trump after four

573
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: years unless he's very aggressive on this. What do you

574
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: think about all of that, Daniel Penny and everything else.

575
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: It's obviously a miscarriage of justice that's going on in

576
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: New York City, But what we have to actually face

577
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: facts is that it's the battlefield conditions as they are.

578
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to live this. It's a suboptimal time

579
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: to be in. But you do not have the same

580
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: rights in New York City or Washington, d C. Or

581
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: any of these big blue cities. That you do in

582
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: the rest of America at this time. And I was

583
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: even thinking, best outside of the Daniel pennything, that when

584
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: the trial was going on for Donald Trump, there were

585
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: people that were going to go and protest on his

586
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: behalf down in New York City.

587
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: Don't go.

588
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: You don't have a First Amendment there. That's like outside

589
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: of America at this point. And the fact that we

590
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: have one side that has recognized that and the other

591
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: side that doesn't is really lending itself to all the

592
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: problems we have. Their basic reality is, and the sad

593
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: reality is that country is involved in a cold civil

594
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: war right now.

595
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: It's cold.

596
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: But one side is libertarian and conservative and says, look,

597
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: I can get along with my neighbor. They might have

598
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: a yard sign for a candidate who I don't like,

599
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: but as long as they mow their lawn, we're fine.

600
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: We all want the same things.

601
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: And the other side is the Borg from Star Trek,

602
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: and resistance is futile.

603
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: You will be assimilated.

604
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: That was not as banned as required, and it is

605
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: an asymmetrical battle. And until we get to a point

606
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: where we have mutually assured destruction, I don't see any

607
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: way out of it. And unfortunately, we're on a path

608
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 2: for the coal war to go hot and go kinetic,

609
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: and we're going to have Antietam part two unless you

610
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: have some energetic executives or legislators that are willing to

611
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: take this up in the red areas to get to

612
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: some sort of semblance of normalcy. And again it's not optimal.

613
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to live in this place. But the

614
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: reason that Ronald Reagan defeated the Soviet Union was because

615
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: he had mutually assured destruction. That's why they're no longer

616
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union. It needs to be the same thing.

617
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: There needs to be a Fannie Willis for the right

618
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: going after a prominent Democrat or prominent communist, as I'm

619
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: more likely to say, there needs to be when it

620
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: comes to Hunter Biden being pardoned. There needs to be

621
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: preemptive blanket pardons from Donald Trump. The only thing that

622
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: communists in this country can understand and respect onto is

623
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: pain and fear of more pain being called a hypocrite.

624
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: That is the most republican thing.

625
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: Ever. They don't care on those strongly worded letters. I mean,

626
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, I mean this is exactly right. The

627
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: only thing that that that the communists left understands is power.

628
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: And the only way this stops is if Republicans wield

629
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: that power and make them feel the political pain that

630
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: everyone else has felt. And and and it's not about revenge,

631
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: it's not about retribution, but it is about accountability. These

632
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: are these are leftists and political operators that have that

633
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, left this who been elected, but also leftist

634
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: appointees who have infested our justice system and and are

635
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: twisting it own way that is diametrically opposed to America's

636
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: founding Steve, And I mean, honestly, who's making the call

637
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: that no, it's got to be a swat team? Like,

638
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: are these political type people? How does the FBI Because

639
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: you've got clearly you've got good agents on the ground

640
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: like you that are saying, nope, I'm not doing this.

641
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they're few and far between, But who is making

642
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: the call to say it's got to be a swat team,

643
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: because clearly that whoever that person is is a political

644
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: type person.

645
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: Right, it's executive management within the field office. So there's

646
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: fifty five field offices around the country, and there's a

647
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 2: special agent who's the top dog, the top boss, it's

648
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: normally for most it's a special agent in charge. Unless

649
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: it's one of the major cities, it's a little bit

650
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: higher up, and it is up to that individual or

651
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: maybe one of their lieutenants, their assistant special agents in

652
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: charge to evaluate, and they have a like a decision tree.

653
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: They call it a matrix about when it's appropriate to

654
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: use SWAT, but.

655
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: A matrix they have like a little decision tree. You

656
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: can't just like common sense. It like, well, and you

657
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't use flat against the ninety year old guy with

658
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: the cane.

659
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: The matrix allows for broad discretion when it comes to SWAT.

660
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: So if there is a belief that there's a firearm president,

661
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: then SWAT can be authorized.

662
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, I live in Florida, so that's everyone.

663
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: If they think that there's a large dog, then they

664
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: can send SWAT. It's overly broad, and I'm not necessarily

665
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: hating that so much, and you want to give discretion

666
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: to people to do that, but you're also supposed to

667
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: be vetting people of integrity at this point and to

668
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: have common sense and to look at that in the

669
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: facts and say, hey, look, that guy's an eighty year

670
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: old handicapped person.

671
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: That's probably an inappropriate use of that, but he doesn't

672
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: brief really well.

673
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: It breaths much better if you're a climber, if you

674
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: want to aspire to higher levels within the bureau, that

675
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: you would say, hey, threat to the president. Do you

676
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: want to be the guy that said the idem's sad squat,

677
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: I just sent a couple of agents over to handle it. No,

678
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: it breathes much better to say you set tactical elements that.

679
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fascinating. So okay, can I take a quick

680
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: break and bring you back on the other side. I

681
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about God, I did not anticipate, folks,

682
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: to the folks who are listening and watching, going down

683
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: this path with you, Steve, But your story is fascinating.

684
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: In your insight to the inner workings of the FBI

685
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: is equally fascinating. Can we talk about when I come back,

686
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: just your thoughts on the Marlago raid and rating President Trump?

687
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: And then I want to get your thoughts on Cash

688
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Matella as FBI director. Is that cool?

689
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

690
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: All right? Stay right there more with Steve. Friend man,

691
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: this dude smart. We got to support him in any

692
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: way that you can. I'm gonna give Steve a chance

693
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: at the end of all this to tell us how

694
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: we can best do that. But stay with us, folks.

695
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews wishes you a

696
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,960

00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: includes the people of Israel, who are threatened daily by

Speaker 1: attacks from enemy on all sides. And during these unbelievably

702
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: hard times, Israelis are thankful to the Fellowship for food

703
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: and basic assistance, truly life saving aid, when the rest

704
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: of the world seems to have turned their back on that.

705
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Your gift of twenty five dollars will help provide a

706

715
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: and FBI agent, whistleblower, best selling author. Welcome back, my friend. Okay,

716
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: there's so much stuff going on that I wanted to

717
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. I mean, clearly, we talked

718
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: about the Daniel Penny thing, absolutely crazy. I want to

719
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: ask you about the Marlago raid and some other stuff

720
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: with the cash Betel, But what did you think? What

721
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: do you think about Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden? Personally,

722
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: I was not surprised, because I told the audience I

723
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: think many people disagree with me, but like if I'm

724
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: President of the United States, okay, and my son's in

725
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble and and and probably a lot

726
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: of that trouble I know, in my heart of hearts

727
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: is because I put him in that position. Right I'm

728
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: gonna tell people exactly this, Steve. I'm gonna say, let's

729
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: see how the process plays out. I'm not making any

730
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: judgments right now. Let's just let's let justice take its course.

731
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: But at the end, I'm gonna pardon my son. I'm

732
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: not gonna lie about it, though. Joe Biden and every

733
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: single member of the White House staff lied about this

734
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: for a year. What do you think about that craziness?

735
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: Well, look, they are they're allergic to the truth. I

736
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: think we all know that. And he's a communist. He's

737
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: outcome driven, he's not processed driven. And this was never

738
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: not going to happen. It was a freak's complete But

739
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: it's a cautionary tale. If you're going to try to

740
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: take out the king, you better not miss. They left

741
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: that guy up there with the power he's he is

742
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: still Joe Biden, the human rumba is the most powerful

743
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: human who has ever walked the earth, just by nature

744
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: of the technology and the capability we have as a military.

745
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, who they orchestrate a coup to remove from

746
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: the ticket, and then she loses, and they still got

747
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 2: to have him.

748
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: Finish out the stretch.

749
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: Nope, he's just going to bring it all down with

750
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: him because he doesn't owe the Democrat Party anything at

751
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: this point. I don't even think they gave him a

752
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: soft landing to get the Presidential Library and give his

753
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 2: son a no show job.

754
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: He's the most powerful room on the face of the planet.

755
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: In fact, some of the room of vacuum cleaners are

756
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: probably smarter than Joe. They're probably faster decision makers than

757
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden.

758
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: None of them suck as hard as Joe though.

759
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I mean, you're right. I said for

760
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: a long time, Steve, that Trump wins from now and

761
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: to the time he's sworn in is probably one of

762
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: the most dangerous times that we've ever experienced as a country,

763
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: because they've done everything that they could possibly do to

764
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: try to take this guy out, including the FBI raiding

765
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: his home. I gotta believe you had strong feelings about that.

766
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: Probably wasn't surprising though.

767
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: Well, what we have to say first is that the

768
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: raid is wholly inappropriate. But the one thing that I

769
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: think a lot of people on our side got confused

770
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 2: about and took umbradge with was the wrong thing, and

771
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 2: that was the whole the use of deadly worse aspect

772
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: to the operations plan. So what people that need to

773
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: understand about that is it is in any time you

774
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 2: do an operation, swat an interview, I mean anything, you

775
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: have to have an operations plan, and part of it

776
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 2: includes this one page in there that just restates the

777
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: use of force policy. It's a cya, so that if

778
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: you have to engage in that that way, they can

779
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: say when was the last time you were briefed on it? Well,

780
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: it's in the operations plan, so you can't claim you

781
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: didn't know the rules. So that when people said, oh,

782
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: it was a kill order, that was a confusion. But

783
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: what people need to know is that there were other

784
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 2: elements that that did not get the publicity because they

785
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: got focused on the wrong thing. So you had a

786
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: counterintelligence squad from Washington, DC that came down, traveled by

787
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: plane to go and do this search. Why is a

788
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: counterintelligence squad in Washington, d C. Doing it's c in

789
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: mar A Lago. That's FBI Miami. Why so well, they

790
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: elected to go and do this when they were told

791
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: by their superior Stephen d'antoino also who oversaw the January

792
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: sixth investigation, that he didn't.

793
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: Think that was appropriate.

794
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: He said that just a simple coordinating and consent search

795
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: would be appropriate. And his underling said, no, we're going

796
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: forward with this and they're going to use HRT hostage

797
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: Rescue team to do it.

798
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: To send the message.

799
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: And then you wonder also why the special as in

800
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: charge of Miami Division at the time, George Pirou, Why

801
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: he would That's an opportunity for him to send his people,

802
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 2: and Miami is a catbird seat to promote. Well, George

803
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: had already been up and he'd been demoted because he

804
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: had some problems, mostly along the lines of being within

805
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: the company of a young lady one of his subordinates

806
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: in a bureau vehicle receiving.

807
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 3: Some sexual favors.

808
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because he was compromised that that was allowed

809
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: to happen.

810
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 3: So there was a lot of salacious information that went

811
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 3: on with that.

812
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: But by and large, and the overall is that wholly inappropriate,

813
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: appropriate for them to do that. And the fact that

814
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 2: now the case has been dismissed just shows how when

815
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: you weaponize the agency, the FBI is the teeth on

816
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 2: that attack dog to politicize agency.

817
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: Well, Steve, did you say they sent the hostage rescue

818
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: team down to mar Lago?

819
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

820
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: Why, Well, I mean to send a message.

821
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 3: Really, the difference between.

822
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: The best hostage rescue team in the world, the best

823
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: swat team.

824
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 2: In the world forty million dollars for one hundred dudes

825
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: that are just sitting around looking for work most of

826
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 2: the time. Most of the time they actually are asking

827
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: for work so they can justify their existence.

828
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 3: But this was definitely a send the message.

829
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: And the difference between a routine search and a raid

830
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: is whether or not you call CNN ahead of time.

831
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 3: So that was what went on there. They wanted to send.

832
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: Them the The federal government under Joe Biden has completely

833
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 2: mobilized itself for the last four years against Donald Trump,

834
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: using whatever they could, and they threw everything they could

835
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 2: at him, and he still was able to tiptoe through

836
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: the rain drops and make it through.

837
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: And the people had their say. The people were were

838
00:42:59,080 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: the jury.

839
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: And it was your renullification on November fifth, and because

840
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 2: by electing him, they shut down all of those cases.

841
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, tiptoe through the rain drops is one way to

842
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: say it. It's like more like a minefield, right. It's

843
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable to me. You know, you put yourself in

844
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: Milania's shoes, right, and you're Trump is very protective of

845
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: his family, and people always give him a bunch of shit,

846
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: Steve because all of mean sweets or they don't like

847
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: the things that he says. And I think to myself,

848
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: if you were in his shoes as a patriarch of

849
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: his family, and you saw, you know, the government, elected officials,

850
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: the media go after your wife, your children, your grandchildren,

851
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: and the way that the media has If you are

852
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: not doing the things that Donald Trump is what was

853
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: doing to protect them, I would think less of whoever

854
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: that person was for not defending their family that way, right,

855
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: And it would be almost impossible for me to sit

856
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: back and watch the FBI do that to, you know,

857
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: like go through my wife's things and for a reason

858
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: that you know this is the other thing, for a

859
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: reason that you know is complete and total unjustified bullshit.

860
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: Just takes a special kind of person to do that, right.

861
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: And I think there's an action, an added element to this.

862
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: And I've actually thought about this. If if you had

863
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: a chance, I've never met Donald Trump, if you had

864
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: a chance to ask him one question, really the wonder

865
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: Woman last year of truth question, What would you ask him?

866
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: And I really would ask him? Is it lonely being you?

867
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: Because you're this billionaire. Everyone who's coming actually has an angle, right,

868
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 2: you have to take it all with you got to

869
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: be skeptical of every single thing.

870
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 3: Is this person kissing up to me.

871
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: But you know who's not coming at me with an

872
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: angle your family, because your dad or your grandpa or

873
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: your husband, and that violation had to as much as

874
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 2: it would be a front and offensive to you and

875
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: to me, it's got to be magnified by in order

876
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: of magnitude for Donald Trump.

877
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: I agree. And so that brings us the Cash Battel.

878
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean the media is going, I mean they are

879
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: apoplectic about but Cash, I want you to listen to

880
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: this sound bite, and I want to get your reaction

881
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: to it. Okay, check this out. Donald Trump is now

882
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: apparently considering appointing loyalist Cash Battel to the position of

883
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: FBI Director. How dangerous might this be?

884
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 3: Cash Patel, who's a total bomb thrower, MAGA person.

885
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: I suppose if we still had the ability to be shocked.

886
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: It's shocking.

887
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: Who is this man and why did so many top

888
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: officials fear him?

889
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: It's a terrible development for the men and women of

890
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: the FBI and also for the nation.

891
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: There have been some concerns voiced by John Bolton.

892
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 4: He believes in nothing except serving Donald Trump.

893
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: Hottel is a MAGA loyalist known for his extreme rutteroric.

894
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: Betel has promised to go after journalists, among others, and

895
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: more or less dismantle the agency.

896
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: Putting someone like Cash Pattel in the position of director

897
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: of the FBI is I believe, extremely extremely dangerous.

898
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 3: The most dangerous, not in any that we've seen yet

899
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: to our democracy.

900
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: I think he's not a distraction. I think this is

901
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: actually one of the dangerous ones that we need to

902
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: be paying attention to.

903
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 3: It's dangerous to put someone like this in charge. People

904
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 3: called Patel dangerous.

905
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: How dangerous? Is that? Deeply dangerous?

906
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: Extraordinarily dangerous, And this is a very dangerous moment.

907
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 3: Bettel is facing criticism for a lack of experience he.

908
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: Has, Indeed, as you note, no qualifications.

909
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: Cash Pattel is profoundly unqualified for this job. Cash Betel,

910
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 3: who has absolutely no business being the director of the FBI.

911
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: There is no ideology, there's no agenda here other than retribution,

912
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: singularly focused on exacting revenge. We has talked about targeting people, to.

913
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 4: Go after journalists, to go after political critics. You have

914
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 4: the makings of, you know, a not so slow motion

915
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 4: authoritarian takeover of the United States government, and people ought

916
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: to be really concerned about this.

917
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: Come on, Cash, Bael. I've known Cash long time. He

918
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: cares deeply about the reputation of the FBI. He's been

919
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: on the front end of going after terrorists for a

920
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: long time, got multiple awards under the Obama administration for

921
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: doing just that. They're scared of Cash Betel because I

922
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna hold people accountable. Steve, what do you

923
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: tell me? Just start, start to finish. What do you

924
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: think about Cash Hotel? What do you think about the

925
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: media's reaction? Like, tell me what you're thinking about this?

926
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 2: Inject that reaction straight into my veins. Pot calling kettle

927
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: very much. It's a completely weaponized agency at this point.

928
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: He's a danger. He's a danger to doing what the

929
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: exact thing that you're.

930
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: Just like, I'm dangered to democracy out. I mean, that's

931
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: all these ask clowns say about anything. It's ridiculous. It's old.

932
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: Nobody buys this shit.

933
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 2: No, and look, Cashptel is eminently qualified for all. You

934
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: can be dismissive of his background if you read I

935
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 2: don't know one Centon's from MSNBC. The guy was a

936
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: prosecutor for JAYSOK, so he was prosecuting the war on terror,

937
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 2: he was the chief of staff over at DoD. He

938
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 2: was part of OD and I and was really vital

939
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 2: and crucial in exposing what the FBI did during the

940
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 2: Crossfire Hurricane Russia Gate scandal. And then the other element

941
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: that nobody is really paying attention to very much is

942
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: he was a public defender, federal and local. So he

943
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 2: brings both perspectives. He wants to go after.

944
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 3: The bad guys, they're real bad guys.

945
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 2: But then also knows the power that is actually at

946
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: the fingertips of the government and when it makes the

947
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: process the punishment, how wrong that can truly be. So

948
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: this is to me, the guy also has an opportunity

949
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: to be the most beloved, the most beloved director in

950
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 2: the history of the FBI. He could actually do with

951
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: Jaeger Hoover. They thought he was going to do, but

952
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 2: then he became weaponized. He can turn the agency from

953
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 2: the pits of hell to something that we all hoped

954
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 2: and aspired that it would be, and that would be

955
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: a preeminent, premier law enforcement agency that upheld the rule

956
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 2: of law and protected the American people against fraud and force.

957
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 3: And you want to.

958
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: Talk about his politics, let's just go back to the

959
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 2: last three directors. He had James Commey, who ran an

960
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: off the books Honey pot Op inside the Trump campaign

961
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen and then sent agents to go and

962
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 2: and trap Mike Flinn. You had Andy McCabe also part

963
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 2: of that media collection there, who was the acting director

964
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 2: who oversaw Crossfire Hurricane and was fired because he lied

965
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: and linked to the media. And then when the Joe

966
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: Biden administration gave him everything back because he was a

967
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: good and faithful servant. Part of his settlement was that

968
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 2: he could get his senior executive service cuff links or

969
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: anal beats.

970
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: And then you have Christopher Ray.

971
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 2: Christopher Ray who has overseen the FBI while it censored

972
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: the Hunter Byden laptop story and then watched ninety year

973
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: old concentration camp survivors be put into prison because they

974
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 2: were praying outside of an abortion clinic. So it's a

975
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 2: political agency. At least with Cashptel, he's transparent, that's honestly

976
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: very refreshing, and his track record is exposing the FBI

977
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: for its malfeasans. So I would think that that's a

978
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: move in the positive direction. I'm actually really excited. I've

979
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: wanted the FBI to be shattered into a thousand pieces

980
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 2: and scattered to the win for the last two years.

981
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: But if there's one person that I'll give the old

982
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: College try to maybe pull it back from the brink,

983
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 2: it's Cashptel.

984
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: That is an amazing endorsement. By the way, it obviously

985
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: means a lot coming from you as well, having been

986
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: through the ringer and put through the ringer by that organization.

987
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: Why do you think they're fear mongering about him so much?

988
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 3: Because he's an agent of change.

989
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: It's no different than going after Pete hegg Seth or

990
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: Matt Gates at the time. These are the people who

991
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 2: are disrupted because there was a mandate that the American

992
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: people gave to our government on November fifth, But there was.

993
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: Also a mandate that the government.

994
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 2: Received, and that is they have to keep the status

995
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: quot throw up as many speed bumps and roadblocks as

996
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: possible to avoid the change of the American people are

997
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: demanding of them.

998
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: And Cash Mattel is an agent of that change. And

999
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 3: I've been able.

1000
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 2: To communicate with him in his circle a little bit,

1001
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: and his willingness to listen. The fact that he doesn't

1002
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 2: have hubris, he has humility and says, I don't know

1003
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: what I don't know. And the information that some of

1004
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 2: the stuff that I've told you today he took in

1005
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: and absorbed immediately and said, well, that's got to be

1006
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: fixed immediately, and we're going to do that. I think

1007
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: is makes me optimistic for the first time. You know,

1008
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 2: I was really excited that Donald Trump won the election.

1009
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: I breathed the sigh of relief, But upon hearing that

1010
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 2: Cash was nominated to take over the FBI, I think

1011
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: I was equally as excited. Those are the two best

1012
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 2: days that I've had in the last twenty six and

1013
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 2: a half months since I was summarily removed from the FBI.

1014
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: Man, that's powerful stuff. Seriously, Steve, we got to have

1015
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: you back in the show. I mean, seriously, you're an

00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: patriot for standing up to you know, the FBI and

1043
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: saying no, this is this is a line that you're

1044
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: way like, this is the normal line. You're way across it.

1045
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going. It's a bridge too far from me.

1046
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not walking that path, and you paid

1047
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: a cost for it. But it was the right thing

1048
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: to do, my friend, and I think it's going to

1062
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and

1063
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: the relentless assault on our values. Thankfully, there's companies like

1083
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: I want to remember New York native Omar Nutra. He

1084

Speaker 1: was a twenty one year old American Israeli platoon leader.

1085
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: Hamas killed him on October seventh, twenty twenty three. Many

1086
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: people thought that he was alive. What turned out that

1087
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: he was murdered on October seventh, and the Hamas savages

1088
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: kept his body for four hundred and twenty three days.

1089
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: Didn't want to tell his family about his status. Well.

1090
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: Trump issued the statement saying that if we didn't get

1091
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: the American hostages back, there was going to be hell

1092
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: to pay for the hostage takers and their leaders. And

1093
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: by the way, that's how any American president should talk

1094
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: about any American period, hostage or not. You come at us,

1095
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: take you take one of our people, we wipe out

1096
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: your entire bloodline. Just needs to be that simple. President

1097
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: Trump issued that statement today, and we found out about

1098
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 1: Omar today, about him being passed away, So I want

1099
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: you to spare a prayer for him. Also want to

1100
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: tell you about a couple quick headlines. Ninth Circuit Court

1101
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: ruled that the United States has the full authority to

1102
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 1: deport foreign nationals in the country illegally, even if local

1103
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: authorities object. Of course, we already knew that, but it's

1104
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: ninth Nice to have the Ninth Circuit coming on board

1105
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: in a big way. Prior to Trump taking office and all,

1106
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: did you see this from the New York Post. I mean,

1107
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: all of this kind of flies under the radar. You

1108
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: think it'd be headline news everywhere. But a House panel

1109
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: concludes that COVID likely leaked from a lab and Trump

1110
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: is now vowing to make China pay reparations as they should.

1111
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: I for one, am very excited about Trump getting back

1112
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: in the White House and saying China dirus, China dirus.

1113
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll say before you pop smoke

1114
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: for the day is the Trump transition says it's entered

1115
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: into a memorandum of understanding with the US Department of

1116
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: Justice for background checks on senior administrative officials. You can

1117
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: bet that the Trump administration is not going to let

1118
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: the FBI or the Department of Justice be a roadblock

1119
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: to the incoming administration. But all of this it's supposed

1120
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: to ensure that when and Trump has sworn in in January,

1121
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: that his cabinet is ready to rock on day one.

1122
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to make it get make sure

1123
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: you had all those headlines before we pop smoke. I

1124
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: haven't reminded you all show, but make sure you smash

1125
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video

1126
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: smash that like button. I like to try to get

1127
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: to at least four hundred before the end of the show.

1128
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: And I've got a bunch of flags here from an Cindy.

1129
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:28,480

1132
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: are swat abilities to be removed like newly created intellibilities.
