1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: to the heart of the issues that matter to you. Today, 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: we have award winning investigative journalist Sustan Krabtree, twenty twenty 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: four Dow Prize winner for her groundbreaking Secret Service reporting 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: after the Butler assassination attempts. 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: So she's going to be on the show. 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: We'll also get her on the latest news with the 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: Secret Service with a break in happening at the Vice 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: President jd Vance's home as well. What do you need 10 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: to know about that? What does that say about the 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: Secret Service? But we're also going to dive into our 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: explosive book, Fools Gold, the radical con artists and traders 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: who killed the California dream and now threaten us all. Obviously, 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: this is of the utmost importance as we look ahead 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty eight presidential election with Gavin Newsom 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: likely throwing his name in the hat for the Democratic primary. Also, 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: we've seen the fraud taking place in Minnesota, but what 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: you might not have heard about is the fraud taking 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: place in California. Susan will let us know what we 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: need to know, So stay tuned for Susan crabtrade. Well, Susan, Unfortunately, 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: you look at places like New York City, we now 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: have a you know, a communist, a socialist as mayor. 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: You know, how much do you think that's reflective of 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: the direction the Democrat Party is going in versus just 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: like a really liberal city that New York City is. 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's a reflective of there was thanks 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: for having me on, Lisa, just great thing have you on, 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: Susan think you this this is reflective of there was 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: a very bad candidates. I mean Andrew Cuomo. He you 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: knows he was guilty of killing seniors during COVID and 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: necessarily and so you had no one jumping in, and 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: the Republican did not jump out, so you end up 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: with the socialists. And I think the I think Speaker 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: Johnson made this point, there was a very low voter turnout. 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: In that election. 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: So this is what the people who did vote wanted 37 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: in a bad scenario, and this is what they're getting. 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 3: And it's going to be socialism on display. And we're 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: already seeing some weird things about his He's raising the 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: price of the buses as he's touting them, when he 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: really should be providing better safety for all public transportation, 42 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: and one can even take the subway without fearing their 43 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: life in New York City. 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: Well, and this kind of gets too because you look 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: at places like New York. I know, you wrote the 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: book Full Gold looking at California and the politicians there 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: as well. But we have these areas where there's one 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: party rule. But you know, instead of changing course, it's 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: like they're doubling down on the policies that have led 50 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: to a failed city or a failed state. Why do 51 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: you think that is or are they just not connecting 52 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: the dots, Do they not care? 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: Or why does this sort of keep happening? 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: Very little accountability, especially in California. You do have a 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: lot of media presence in New York City, so they 56 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: do get pounded by the New York Posts and other publications, 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 3: but in California that's not the case. Basically, the media 58 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: is the extension of it's all access journalism, extension of 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: the one party system. And so you've had people complain 60 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: about Minnesota's fraud. That is the tip of the California iceberg. 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: There was a recent cartoon, a political cartoon that showed 62 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: California's we have seventy two billion dollars in fraud, and 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: you have people like Democratic Representative ro Kanna of California 64 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: calling for bipartisan congressional hearings for an independent audit of 65 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: California state spending because you have so much fraud. We're 66 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: talking high speed rail thirty six billion, upwards of forty 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: billion in unemployment, fraud during COVID homelessness, NGOs four billion 68 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: unaccounted for. This is just about what we know of 69 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: in California. 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Forget it. 71 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: There's halfway houses. We write about it in our book 72 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: that getting government funds that are run by felons. This 73 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: is California fraud epidemic, and so people our outraged about Minnesota. 74 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: You can't even believe what's going on in my state. 75 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: That's why we wrote the book with Peter Schweizer's top researcher, 76 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: Jed macphatter. Everybody knows about California's failed policies, they don't 77 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: know about the corruption that's going on in the state 78 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: and the taxpayers to just keep upping the taxes, upping 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: the energy prices, and it's all corrupt out here with 80 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: the politicians in bed with the utilities that cause most 81 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 3: of the wildfires and taking political donations. I just you 82 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: would not believe that that outrageous things that are going 83 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: on here are insurance commissioner running off to LGBTQ conferences 84 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: on the taxpayer's dime, globe trotting all over the world. 85 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: It's just there's no accountability. Do you think that. 86 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: You know, because obviously the Minnesota fraud scandal has sort 87 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: of taken over at least you know, media to the right, 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: and then now you're mentioning the California fraud that isn't 89 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: being discussed as much. Do you think this will more 90 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: broadly be an issue heading into the midterms. We've already 91 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: seen Governor Tim Walls announced that he's not running for 92 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: reelection in Minnesota. You know how much of this is 93 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: going to be a broader political issue heading into the midterms. 94 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: And do you think it'll matter with voters. 95 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: Well in the midterms. 96 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: You know, this is the historically bad midterms for the 97 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 3: party that's in power. You know, the midterms after a 98 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: very favorable presidential election with both parties control, you're going 99 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 3: to be set to lose. I do think this fraud 100 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: epidemic is changing the dynamic of the news coverage. I 101 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: think people are outraged about it. We're always seeing political 102 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: fouled as you mentioned. But really what's going to change 103 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: the dynamic is the result of these fights over redistricting, 104 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: like the one in California Prop. 105 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: Fifty. 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 3: Newsom gets to tout his success on that. We're talking 107 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 3: nine more seats in California. Well, I would say four 108 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: to six more Democratic seats and taking away Republicans only 109 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: have nine in California out of fifty one right now, 110 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 3: so they're going to gain six seats just on redrawing 111 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 3: the maps. Okay, so if that holds up in court. 112 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: We're looking at these court cases. There's one in Los 113 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: Angeles Federal District Court right now. The Republican California Party 114 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: is challenging. So I'm going to take a look at 115 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: what this district court does that probably uphold it. But 116 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: then I want to see what the Supreme Court does. 117 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: So I think that's going to be really affecting the 118 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: dynamic more than the political wins, because every pool I've 119 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 3: seen recently has Democrats up in the last month from 120 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: anywhere from plus one a plus sixteen. 121 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: Walk us through that corruption and one party rule and 122 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: how in California and how it's contributed to some of 123 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: these crazes like the wildfires and the homelessness and raising crime. 124 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: Walk us through the connection with all that sure thing. 125 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: So I write in the book extensively. Even before the 126 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: Palisades fire, I wrote a whole chapter on It was 127 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: called up and Smoke. It is called up and Smoke, 128 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: and it's about the how the Democrats are in bed 129 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: with the utilities companies that cause most of the fires. 130 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: PG and E, which is one of Gavin Newsom's there 131 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: was until he decided not. He wasn't going to take 132 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: money directly from it anymore, and neither was his wife's 133 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: documentary Gender Justice films that she sells to schools public 134 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: schools across the country, and they make a profit from it. 135 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: They take money from PG and E. The Democratic Party 136 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: politicians take millions of dollars from the utilities and never 137 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: hold accountable. The PGNE itself caused the deadliest fire in Paradise, 138 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: which is in twenty seventeen, which was the canary in 139 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: the coal mine for the Palisades and the Eton fires, 140 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: the Altadena fires in last January a year ago. Yargo 141 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: right about now, and so they didn't do anything about that. 142 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: They didn't do anything about clearing the brush, holding the 143 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: utilities accountable to make sure that they keep their machinery 144 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: up to date. That particular fire which leveled the beautiful 145 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: town of Paradise, a very wooded area in northern California, 146 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: it and killed eighty four people. I mean way more 147 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: than the Palisades and the Altadena fiers. They didn't do 148 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: anything to hold those utility companies in check. And now 149 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: we have so called edison causing Altadena fire. And there 150 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 3: were nineteen people who died in that fire compared to 151 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 3: about a dozen in Palisades. No deaths, of course, we 152 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: don't want to see any deaths from fires, but it 153 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: was just an aptitude. 154 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 2: And guests who the head. 155 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: Of this woman named Conyones, Janice Connones, who was in 156 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: charge of those the Water and Fire Department in Los Angeles, 157 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: guests for she was paid seven hundred and fifty grand. 158 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: She worked at PG and E beforehand in the Green 159 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 3: Policy Initiative space. It's a revolving door. They're hiking our 160 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: utility rates, our electricity costs are going through the roof 161 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: to pay for the wildfires that they caused. That's what's 162 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: happened in California, and Gavin Newson's hands are completely dirty 163 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: on this, his blood on his hands because he organized 164 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: a back room bailout for PG and E after that 165 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: Paradise fire. So then the people, the victims didn't get 166 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: compensated properly, and they still haven't. 167 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: And I know we're saying that with the Palisades fire 168 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: as well. You know, well not even accusations, but empty 169 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: reservoirs that should have been filled that were not, you know, 170 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: a f arlwyer to get rid of brush that you 171 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: know they should have that they didn't. Got to take 172 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: a quick commercial break more susan crabtree. On the other side, 173 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, how much would you put in the camp 174 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: of corruption versus just ineptitude. 175 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 3: It's both because there's no accountability. It's a sad, sad 176 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 3: truth of the matter. No one realized that that water 177 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 3: reservoir wasn't filled for a year ahead of wildfire season. 178 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: And also they tried to cover up the fact that 179 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: it was on state land where that the previous fire 180 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 3: that was arson caused it was still smoldering. And now 181 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 3: you have firefighters saying coming out publicly with you know, 182 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt, reality TV stars doing the most to bring 183 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: it to mention to this. Never had that on my 184 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: Bengo card list. 185 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: Used to watch the Hills and the other one, the 186 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: one that started it all. 187 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: Why am I blanking? 188 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: I know, I can't say I did, but he has 189 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: my attention now. I used to watch that show back 190 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: in the day. But yeah, sorry, I continued, I didn't 191 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: have that on my being Go card either. 192 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like vicious. He's vicious in those shows and 193 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: now he's turning that. You know that attitude, the aggressive 194 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: attitude towards some accountability in California, which is it's refreshing 195 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: to see he and Adam Carolla. 196 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: And some others. But yeah, it is. 197 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: Who why wouldn't you ask what reservoirs? That all the 198 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: reservoirs should be filled before a huge wildfire like that, 199 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: and they are covering up. You know that it was 200 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: on state land that that smoldering wildfire was taking place. 201 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: But I'll tell you that this PG and E and 202 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: the utilities that causes so called Edison fire, that caused 203 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: the Eaten fire that was so called Edison they caused. 204 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: The Wells Journal did a report and this is in 205 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: my sight in my book that there was fifteen hundred 206 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: fires caused by utilities in a matter of six years. 207 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: It was like one every one and a half days. 208 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: This is and it just kept going on and on, 209 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: and then they talk about climate change. 210 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: You know, former Speaker. 211 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: Pelosi, Gavin Newssen, Kamala Harris all screamed climate change about 212 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: these fires. But that's what's really the culprit here when 213 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: they all of them did nothing to hold PGNI accountable 214 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: after that Paradise fire and we had smoke. There has 215 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: been UCLA and Stanford studies showing that all the efforts 216 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: to improve carbon emissions in the state for the last 217 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: decade was wiped out by those fires, the set of 218 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: fires in two thousand seve So every time you have 219 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: a major fire, all those efforts to wipe out the 220 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: carbon emissions that they're limiting you in twenty thirty, we 221 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: can't have you can't sell anything but EV's in California 222 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: and they're living living consumer choice and they're hiking our 223 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: guest rates, but they're not holding the real culprits of 224 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: most of the fires accountable. 225 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: This is typical. You know, I want to. 226 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: Talk about your book highlights some of the connections between 227 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: these prominent California Democrats like Aaba Newsom, Kamala Harris and 228 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, Adams Shiff, et cetera. And alleged associations with 229 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: criminals and con artists or foreign interests. Which of these 230 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: revelations do you find the most compelling and why? 231 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: Well, it's the It's also all the San Francisco families, 232 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: you know, it's the Gaddy's, the Pricksers, and even JB. 233 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: Prickxer's family is supporting Newsome from the from the get go. 234 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 3: And if you look at any of his donations to 235 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: his wife's documentaries nonprofits, She writes, she makes these gender justice, 236 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 3: pro trans documentaries. Even though Gavin Newsom has said he's 237 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: moving to the middle on trans, It's not true. Uh 238 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: he They all control. It's part of a cabal in 239 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: San Francisco to make the policies extremely liberal and not 240 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: hold anybody accountable. In terms of homelessness. For instance, you 241 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 3: know gavinu since trying to fight saying he's fighting homelessness 242 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,239 Speaker 3: for years and years and years. 243 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: But he. 244 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: Has pursued homeless housing first policies which don't do anything. 245 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: I mean, they've been handing out even cash on debit 246 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: cards in San Francisco for addicts and in exchange for 247 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,359 Speaker 3: turning in needles and things like this. It only perpetuates 248 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 3: the problem. And you have fentanyl, the zombies taking over. 249 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: Called the Hollywood Walk of Fame is now turned into 250 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: a Walk of shame. You have ventanyl zombies hanging out 251 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: all over Hollywood and in San Francisco, it's in the 252 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: Tenderloin district. It's just it's just horrible. So yeah, those 253 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: those those moneyed families are the ones. See in Pelosi, 254 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: as you know, is related by marriage. Is to Gavin 255 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: Newsom that that marriage has since been divorced. They're divorced, 256 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 3: but I think it was Gavin Newsom's aunt was married 257 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: into a Pelosi It's all. They're all intertwined in San Francisco, 258 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: and so they brought their values to the rest of 259 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: the state. I grew up here in the eighties and 260 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: the state was much more purple, and certainly Southern California 261 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: was way more read because of the because of the 262 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: aerospace industry and the bases down here. And you eliminated 263 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: all that and you let and then even Reagan, I'm 264 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: a huge Reagan fan, grew up with Reagan as my 265 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: governor and my president, and he provided so much amnesty 266 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 3: and with the floodgates, he just had a very the 267 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 3: the floodgates were overrun with legal immigrants in California, and 268 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: now you have the sanctuary city laws contributing to the 269 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: one party state and no accountability. 270 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: Quick break, stay with us. 271 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: If you like what you're hearing, please share on social 272 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: media or send it to family and friends. In watching 273 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: Gavin Newso, how much of a threat do you think 274 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: he is politically? You know, it's pretty I mean, I 275 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: think Stevie Wonderer can see that he's going to run, right, 276 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: So it's like, in observing him and also seeing California 277 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: and writing about California being a failed state, how viable 278 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: of a contender is he for the Democrat primary and 279 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: then even beyond in a general election. 280 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: I think all of the recent polls show he's out 281 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: there in the lead, and it's incredibly disturbing and mind 282 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: boggling to think that that could be a possibility when 283 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: we have the level of fraud this happened under his watch. 284 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: And I'll just tell you one thing that's really interesting 285 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: and doesn't get a lot of press, but we did 286 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: write about it in my book. Have a whistleblower told 287 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: me that he let out some it's about we don't 288 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: have any exact n because they won't given the state 289 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: Department of Corrections won't give them to us, even though 290 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: we filed open records requests. 291 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: We keep putting this off. They led out. 292 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 3: About sixty thousand criminals during COVID, and Gavin Newsom told 293 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 3: us told the citizens of his state that he did 294 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 3: so because they were going to have COVID running rampant 295 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: in the prison system, which actually was the opposite was true. 296 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: He was lying, completely lying, and he had people telling 297 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 3: him the liaison. I spoke to the liaison from the 298 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 3: prisons to the governor's office. He was my whistleblower, and 299 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: he told me that he was telling the governor's office 300 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 3: that is not true. They had a lower COVID rate 301 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 3: in the prison system. And then you wondered why there 302 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: were all these smashing grabs during COVID and afterwards, and 303 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: there was a crime epidemic in San Francisco and Oakland, 304 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 3: and even stores all kinds of the targets and the Nordstroms, 305 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: so many stores have left San Francisco. 306 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: That's why I didn't realize that what's crazy. It's like 307 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: they're insane. I wanted to ask you too, because there's 308 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: been some recent news that I know you've been reporting 309 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: on about an incident involving the Vice president and his 310 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: Cincinnati home. You also broke a lot of news after 311 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: the assassination attempts on President Trump and Butler Pennsylvania. From 312 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: what you've investigated and learned about the Secret Service, I mean, 313 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: are they able to keep or elected officials safe and 314 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: the president and Vice president their family safe. 315 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 3: That's a very good question, and I don't think enough 316 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 3: people are paying attention to it. I wanted to see 317 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 3: congressional hearings to make sure that reforms were happening in 318 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: the Secret Service, and I tried to give Sean Kerhrn, 319 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 3: the new director, the benefit of the doubt and that 320 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 3: he was going to institute reforms. But I will tell 321 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: you that he's not a reform agent. And people have 322 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 3: complained about what's going on at the FBI, and there's 323 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 3: all kinds of whistleblowers coming out of the woodwork about 324 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: the FBI not reforming it now I have that's not 325 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 3: my expertise. But the Secret Service, I know for a 326 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: fact because I've been covering it for good fifteen years, 327 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: that this is a troubled agency that was riddled with 328 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 3: DEI under the Obama and the Biden administrations, and it 329 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 3: hasn't changed. It's not changing enough quickly enough, and they 330 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: have a terrible recruitment problem going on. So they have 331 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: a huge man power issue and the VP detail is 332 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: the worst. They are only have. They have hundreds of agents, 333 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: less than the Presidential Detail, and they're working five to 334 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: six days a week when the presdential details only working 335 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 3: two to three. I've heard complaints and complaints about this 336 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: and the standards. They can't keep enough senior agents on 337 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: these daffs, so they have to rely on these junior 338 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: agents who have little experience and new recruits, and they're 339 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: lowing the standards to get people given fifty grand out 340 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 3: too as bonus signing bonuses and trying to keep agents 341 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: by giving them forty grand to stay on. 342 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: But it's not working. 343 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 3: Unlike head Seth, he hasn't done enough shan Current to 344 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: reform the agency and get rid of the DEI problems 345 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 3: that maybe were running off. Like I said about in California. 346 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: The same thing was happening at the Secret Service. They 347 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: were running off to LGBTQ conferences in Australia that were 348 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: designed to try to get the agency to be more 349 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: pro trance. That was the agenda at these law enforcement 350 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: conferences that they were allowing people to go to. 351 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: Even one at. 352 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: Disney World right after the assassination attempts in July, they 353 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: were sending out notices who wants to go to Disney World? 354 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 3: Not kidding you, it's very serious. If it wouldn't be so, 355 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 3: it would be funny if it wouldn't if it wasn't 356 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 3: so serious. 357 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the security lapses on that 358 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: day in Butler at Pennsylvania. It's like it's almost hard 359 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: to fathom that it was all just incompetency, you know, 360 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: like it like it, you know, ventures into raising the 361 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: question if, like some of it was. 362 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: Allowed to happen. I think people think people have suggested 363 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: that to me. 364 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that Kim cheatle Biden's well, I was 365 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: actually Jill Biden's handpicked director of the Secret Service. 366 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 2: I don't think she's that corrupt. 367 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 3: I don't I Still we're still learning more about Thomas Crooks, 368 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 3: which is disconcerting considering I thought we would learn everything 369 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 3: about him, about his cell phone contacts and texts after 370 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: the new FBI directors came in. 371 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: We have we haven't. 372 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: We had to learn it from from Miranda Divine and others, 373 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 3: and they're reporting. But yeah, I I honestly, it's it 374 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 3: is ineptitude. I'm telling you it wasn't ineptitude that day. 375 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: It was a storm. I'm not I'm not saying that 376 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: Thomas Crooks. I don't know if he was working alone. 377 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: That's what Kash Hotel and Dan Bongino said, and they've 378 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 3: looked into it. You know, I tend to believe Dan 379 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 3: and Cash on their investigations. But you know, I know 380 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 3: for a fact that there were two inexperienced women agents 381 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 3: involved that were put in charge. One specifically, who's Latina 382 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 3: lesbian partier who posted social media h from her assignments, 383 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: including at Mara Lago and guess what, she's back on 384 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: the job right now. They only gave him a slap 385 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: on their wrist. 386 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: It's like one of those things where I'd like to 387 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: believe that the people in the job desire to keep 388 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: the president safe. But if you have beliefs that are 389 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: in direct opposition to the president, and we're in a 390 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: political environment where you know, a significant portion of the 391 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: country view him as hitler. Can we trust that the 392 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: individuals who failed to do their job that day that 393 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: they just failed to do it or they just didn't 394 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: care to protect President Trump? 395 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: Well, I think. 396 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: Cheadle did not care enough. Obviously, we know from the reports, 397 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 3: my own reporting, others that the strong cur and repeatedly 398 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 3: he was the head of the Trump detail. In fact, 399 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: you know we have the head of the Trump detail. 400 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: And I'm sorry to say this, but he allowed this 401 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 3: to happen. It was his detail. He allowed that that 402 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: partier and experienced woman agent to be in charge of 403 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 3: security that day, and she did not put anybody on 404 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 3: the roof of the AGR building. So you know, he 405 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: has some blame, but yet Trump appoints him. It's kind 406 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 3: of my that to me was not a great decision. 407 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 3: And I still give a band with the doubt that 408 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: I'm still waiting a year later for the reforms that 409 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 3: really need to be put in place to raise the 410 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: standards at the Secret Service. So yeah, I mean, I 411 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: honestly think that it was bad policies and manpower issues 412 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: that contributed to this. Because the Secret Service, since they're 413 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: that big Cartagena prostitute scandal in the twenty twelve and 414 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: the fallout over that, has had terrible recruiting problems, and 415 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 3: Senior Mayle a lot of male agents have left, and 416 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: so heg Seth is having a recruiting bonanza by raising 417 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 3: the standards. I'm saying, we're not going to cater to 418 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: all these DEI initiatives. Those are gone, and he's he's 419 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 3: having a recruiting bonanza, and the same is not having 420 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 3: a Secret Service. He just he sean cern promoted Cheetle's 421 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: chief of staff. He tried to get Cheetle's security clearance 422 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 3: to be renewed until I stopped it with Senator Ron 423 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 3: Johnson speaking out with my reporting. He kept Acting Director 424 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 3: Ron Roe, who was tapped by Majorcus to be the 425 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 3: acting director after the assassination attempt and Cheetah left. He 426 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 3: kept them on the payroll until he hit his retirement date. 427 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: All these things don't signal change, don't signal reform. 428 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: And then before we go, why. 429 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: Do you think we haven't learned more about Matthew Thomas Crooks. 430 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 3: I was very taken aback when you had new information 431 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 3: come out about him that wasn't from the FBI directly, 432 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 3: And I asked around about that, and my sources told 433 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 3: me it's because Trump himself didn't want to wanted to 434 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: move on from that and is worried about the midterms 435 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 3: and wants to talk about affordability, which is the number 436 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: one topic of concern. 437 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: Two Americans. 438 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: Of course that's a good idea, but if you do that, 439 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 3: then you are you are vulnerable to these stories coming 440 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 3: out a different way, and you make yourself look stupid. 441 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's you were going to have a 442 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 3: egg in your face if these these stories come out 443 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: a different way, which they did, And so I don't 444 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 3: understand why they didn't control the narrative a little bit 445 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 3: and then provide more trans parency. 446 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: That was very disappointed with that. Well, it's like the 447 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: same thing with the Epstein files. 448 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's better just to get everything out there because 449 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: to your point, if not, it makes everything look more 450 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: suspicious or if there's something to cover up, and maybe 451 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: there's not, I don't know, but you know, I think 452 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: it's fair to find it all very odd. 453 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, I when that came out Tucker Carlson's report 454 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 3: was blockbuster report we were waiting to see, they said 455 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 3: Christopher Ray, the FBI. Dr Biden lied extensively about Thomas 456 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: Crooks's digital footprint and why they didn't want to rectify 457 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 3: that and be more transparent with the American people when 458 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 3: the new leadership came in. 459 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I know they had their hands full. 460 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: I know they did, but I believe it was the 461 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: President himself is what I understand, wanting to push forward 462 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 3: and not look back, not keep talking about the attempts 463 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 3: against him. But as you know, if you don't really 464 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: go over things and you just let conspiracies, you know. 465 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: Just Spiro out of control, or maybe they're not conspiracies, 466 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, maybe I mean, you know, I mean the 467 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: government has a history of, you know, both left and right, 468 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: of not getting things out there that you know, perhaps 469 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: he does have ties to other things that you know, 470 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: and maybe it's with. 471 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: Intention that the information is not getting out there. 472 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: Right, So it's you know, sometimes these things aren't always conspiracies, 473 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the conspiracies to cover it up. 474 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean the fact that they lied extensively about 475 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: his digital footprint, that Biden FBI to Congress under oath 476 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 3: is really disconcerting, and they tried to make him look 477 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: like a right winger when he was. He switched Thomas 478 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 3: Crooks in around COVID time, he completely switched in his 479 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 3: anti Trump became anti Trump, and there's evidence of it. 480 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: I mean, they're just it's blatant YouTube posts, open commentary, 481 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 3: open source, and they hit all that from us. It's 482 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 3: just outrageous, outrageous. 483 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: Heard Thomas Matthew Crooks, I think I said, Matthew Thomas 484 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: Crooks orter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. 485 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: Very strange stuff. 486 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: Susan Crabtree, thanks for always digging in and getting to 487 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: the bottom of things.
