This time 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: around there are survivors. I think this was an undersea 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: meaning submersible like a It's like a submarine, but just 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: a few feet below the surface. 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: That's my understanding. 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: So we will talk a bit more about what's going 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: on with this war, a real war on drug It's 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: not just a metaphorical war on drugs. 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: This is real war on drug stuff. 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: And we'll talk to our friend, former Davy Seal Dave 15 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: Rutherford about this later on. He well, he knows about 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: special operations for sure. He's also a host in the 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: Clay and Buck podcast network, so we'll have a conversation 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: with him. 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: We've also gotten Nicole Parker in the third hour. 20 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: She's a former FBI agent, and we'll talk to her 21 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: about everything going on over at the bureau, the Kombe indictment, 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: and also, yes, the big news story of the day today, 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: which is the indictment of former National Security advisor Bolton. 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: So John Bolton is now facing a whole lot of 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: charges relating to transmission of and retention of national defense information. 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 2: This is going to be already play. It's a case 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: that has a lot of people speaking about the politics involved, 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: and they're talking about this whole situation as though it 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: is just Trump doing things that he shouldn't be doing. 30 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: And trying to settle scores. 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: Okay, I read the indictment and it primarily relates to 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: John Bolton going home from his job as National Security Advisor, 33 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: where you see you can see anything near the National 34 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: Security Advisor, meaning you're cleared for the most sensitive compartmented stuff, 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: covert actions in foreign countries, very sensitive collection methods, you know, 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: you name it, right, I mean the nuclear arsenal, whatever 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: you want to know. When you're NSA, you can know, 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: and you are seeing that stuff on a daily basis. 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: Bolton was going home Clay while he was serving as 40 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: Trump's National Security Advisor and writing a diary of all 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: of his conversations so that he could put it in 42 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: a book. Now, that is bizarre behavior. And I would 43 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: tell you that if I had a friend in the 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: national security world who said, hey, I've got a plan. 45 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to just sit and classified briefings and reclassified 46 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: stuff all day, and then I'm going to go home 47 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: and I'm going to relay what I I mean, when 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: I was at CIA, they said, you don't talk to 49 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 2: your family about what we're doing here. 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, they brought it to me. By the way, not 51 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: having been in the CIA, it seems like that's kind 52 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: of important for top secret information. Like when I would 53 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: go home if I got a call from my mom 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: when I and I was just a lowly analyst, but 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: if I got a call from my mom, I was like, 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, mom, we're working on this this sensitive counter 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: terrorism platform and we're gonna be able to blow up 58 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: bad guys in this province because of it. And man, 59 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: I hit some bureaucracy on that one, like no, you 60 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: don't do that. Now they're saying in the indictment that 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: the stuff that. 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: He was relaying Clay would be classified up to the 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: top secret sci compartmented level. So I mean, this is 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: they're saying, it's very sensitive stuff. And they lay out, now, 65 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: this is interesting. You can't see the information right because 66 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: then you're they're sharing classify with everybody. So there's a 67 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: little bit of taking the government's word for it that 68 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: has to go on here. They call this the gray 69 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: mail defense, where they say, well, if people could only 70 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: know that this information is what you're talking about, it's 71 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: actually not that sensitive. So that's going to be one 72 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: of the ways they fight on this. The other thing 73 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: is going to be I've seen reporting that there were 74 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: marked classified documents in his home, but essentially the primary 75 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: part of the indictment is that he was writing down 76 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: stuff from his meetings that was clearly classified, emailing it 77 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: to family members, and preparing it in a diary every day, 78 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: and that is I think he's got some big problems here. 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: So this is one of those things where it's almost 80 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: not that complicated of a case to prove it would 81 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: be my analysis as someone who has never been involved 82 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: in top secret documents. You've talked about this before, that, 83 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: for instance, Joe Biden taking things out as a senator 84 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: that are marked top secret and storing it in his 85 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: garage and bragging about it on tape with his autobiographer, 86 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: that these are things that are relatively easy to prove 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: because their form of strict liability. You either did or 88 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: did not do it, And so the intent matters less. 89 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: I haven't seen there are eighteen counts brought in this indictment. 90 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: Unlike we saw with Letitia James, and unlike we saw 91 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: with James Comey, I haven't seen the same level of 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this is a unbelievable act by Trump. 93 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's because one, this investigation started under 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and then I would suspect bucks, see if 95 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: you sign off on this or co sign on this. 96 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: As soon as they realized that Joe Biden had classified documents, 97 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: they really started waving their arms and saying, let's just 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: this classified. Remember initially when mar A Lago, they took 99 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: a picture of it on the ground and everybody just 100 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: grabbed their pearls and fell on their fainting couch. Even 101 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: though Trump had been the president to talk about how 102 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: this was an unbelievable jeopardy of national security and this 103 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: was very, very serious and there's no way that Trump 104 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: was going to be able to escape prosecution on it. 105 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: And then you remember when they found out that Biden 106 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: had all these classified documents, not just in his home 107 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: garage beside the corvette, but also I think in his 108 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: office at University of Pennsylvania and in his office in Washington, 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: d C. And they just kept finding all these classified documents. 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: The idea that classified documents and having them was a 111 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: crime that was one of the greatest that could be 112 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: committed by anyone in our nation. They just basically stopped. 113 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: And so I think they were smart enough to recognize 114 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: they couldn't prosecute John Bolton because Joe Biden has had 115 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: his own classified documents. But this was an investigation that 116 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: to a large extent, was taking place while Joe Biden 117 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: was president and the raid, remember even the criticism of 118 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: the early morning raid, which now we know it appears 119 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: they found documents that are indicative of crimes being committed. 120 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't feel like everybody's lining up to argue this 121 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: is a this is Trump exceeding the bounds of presidential authority. 122 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: I would tell you the Wall Street Journal, to my surprise, 123 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: went all out on Bolton's defense, pretty much on their 124 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: real age. 125 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: They did. 126 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Wall Street Journal has been breaking with Trump on 127 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: a number of things. 128 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I think they're a little. 129 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: Bit bitter over there because their consensus on trade stuff 130 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: has really undermined. That's a core competency you would think 131 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: for the Wall Street Journal, and I think Trump on 132 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: trade has looked a lot savvier than they gave him 133 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: credit for, and a lot of their warnings have seemed 134 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: like they were incorrect. 135 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: So there's that. 136 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: But yeah, they went all in on defense of John 137 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: Bolton on this when they're saying this is clearly a 138 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: political effectively political payback because Bolton was such a critic 139 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: of the Trump administration. Now it's interesting because the Biden 140 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: administration dropped this probe, and I think you might be 141 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: able to see or argue that Biden's team dropped the 142 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: probe because he was such a Trump critic. They're like, oh, well, 143 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: this guy, we kind of like what he's doing. Former 144 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: National Security advisor is sticking his thumb in Trump's eye, 145 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: and you know, let's let's let this keep going. The 146 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: defense though for both and as I see it is 147 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: going to be a couple of things. One and I 148 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: see different things on this. If he had marked classified 149 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: documents at home, he's going to have to take a 150 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: plea deal unless there's gonna be much way. 151 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: To really defend. For your perspective, Trump's defense was I'm president, 152 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: so I can declassify anything. Now people try to argue 153 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: against it. But Bolton, as his positions, does not have 154 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: that as a potential defense. 155 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: Direc there's no defense of he had a skiff. This 156 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: comes up in the indictment, a secure compartmented information facility, 157 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: a little secure room where he was allowed to have classified. 158 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: In his home. 159 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: And and he also got hacked by the Iranians, I 160 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: might add on his personal email, so that comes up 161 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: in this too. This is all the indictment. But he 162 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: was allowed to have classify documents at his home, and 163 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: then he wasn't when the skiff, when he no longer 164 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: had that government job. This skiff essentially goes away, as 165 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: does your right to have any classified documents at home. Okay, 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: so what he's going to say is my recollections of 167 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: meetings I did not believe to be classified information, and 168 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: nobody else would think it's classified information. And what I 169 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: put in the book got cleared through the White House, 170 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: So clearly it's not classified information in some cases or 171 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: maybe in all cases, because you know this is this 172 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: goes to what Komy did as well. Contemporaneous notes of 173 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: a classified discussion can or can you know, can be 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 2: or aren't necessarily classified? 175 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: Right, So let me, let me, let me pause you there, 176 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: because I this is me putting on my lawyer hat. 177 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: If I can't take the actual classified documents out because 178 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: it would be a crime, it doesn't make sense to 179 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: me that I can take a yellow legal pad in 180 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: and write down what's on the classified documents, yes, and 181 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: then take it outside of my house. And let me 182 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: explain if everybody out there listening, if my yellow legal 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: pad was stolen, which recited the information that was on 184 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: a classified document, the practical impact of an enemy getting 185 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the information is the same whether it's written on my 186 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: yellow legal pad or shared in an email or anything else, 187 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: as it would be if I was in physical possession 188 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: of the document itself. Right, So for me, that's a 189 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: distinction that should not be a difference of magnitude from 190 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: a practical perspective. That is correct. 191 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: The fundamentally the information is what is classified, correct, It 192 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 2: is not the marketing. And this came up with the 193 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: Hillary thing too, right, because she says, well, it wasn't 194 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 2: mark classified. Now in Hillary's case, they were xeroxing classified 195 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: and putting it in the emails. I mean that she 196 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: absolutely broke national defense law. She absolutely could have and 197 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: should have been prosecuted, no question. Okay, that was actually 198 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: like open and shutcase. As much as everyone at the time, 199 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 2: because they wanted her to be president, tried to defend 200 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: from the Democrat side on this side, or rather on 201 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: this case. Both In is going to say, the things 202 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: that I wrote down were not actually classified from those meetings, 203 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: and the things that I wrote down were the basis 204 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: for a book that was cleared by the White House. 205 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: Therefore nothing is actually like he's just going to argue 206 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: the information isn't classified, and this becomes a tough case 207 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: for the government because the government has to convince people 208 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: that it is classified. 209 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: Now, I think the jury will be able to see this. 210 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Some have never been involved in a 211 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: classified case, but I don't understand how you could convict 212 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: someone without showing what was classified that the person had 213 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: in their possession, even though to your point, that further 214 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: exposes national security because twelve random people on a jury 215 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: suddenly get the news about whatever classified documents that Bolton 216 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: was holding, which would theoretically allow even more of a 217 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: national security issue. 218 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: I mean, this is where this is a little bit 219 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: like the pornography. I know it when I see it 220 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: classified to those who have held the clearance. You know 221 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: when you see it. You know, if Bolton was going 222 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: home writing down from his meetings, which he very well 223 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: could have, Oh, we're going to do a strike tomorrow 224 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: on Abu Jihad in this country using you know hell 225 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: fire missiles which were launching out of this allied country's 226 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: you know airspace. 227 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: That's very very classified. 228 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: Right. 229 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 2: The fact that it's not Mark classified as he writes 230 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: it down does not change because to your point, well, 231 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: then I could sit there in this I could sit 232 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 2: there and Langley and read about all the covert actions 233 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 2: and then just get on a phone and call somebody 234 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: and talk about it and like I'm not My words 235 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: aren't Mark classific. The information is what is classified, and 236 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: it is your responsibility, as somebody with access to it 237 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: to know. You know where these lines are and what 238 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: you where you can operate well. And this is where 239 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: I come back to. I understand the importance of taking notes. 240 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: I mean every lawyer does. 241 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: It's why I do the entire show every day on 242 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: yellow legal pads, right, that's all I have. But those notes, 243 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: if they are truly classified information, should not be able 244 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to leave a secure place your brain should be the 245 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: place where you keep extremely classified information. 246 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think again, I think that what he was doing, 247 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: Clay was going home and writing a diary entry based 248 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: on his meetings. Yeah, so it's not contemporaneous in the 249 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: meeting notes. I think I got it. I might have 250 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: to go back and check this in the indictment, because 251 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: you know, I had to read the whole thing this morning. 252 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: My sense is he was creating diary entries day to day, which, 253 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: by the way, the notion that you would create a 254 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: diary like this when you're the national secut your advisor 255 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: so you can write a book is so gross. It's 256 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: not about your book that no one's going to read. 257 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: Like you're supposed to be keeping Americans safe and protecting 258 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: our interests. This thing, This goes to a lot of things, 259 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: and everybody listening is out of clearance, knows what I'm 260 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: gonna say. There's this idea the like people actually doing 261 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: the work every day in the national security apparatus, military side, 262 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: civilian side, they are expected to be perfect with all 263 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: this stuff or their lives are ruined. But when you 264 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: get to be senior enough, it's all about whatever publishing 265 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: house you know wants to give you the biggest book deal, 266 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: and that matters more than the law and your oath, 267 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: and I think people are sick of that, and this 268 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: this is there's the legal aspect of his claim. There's 269 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: also the it's kind of just gross. The way that 270 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: he was doing this was just gross because it was 271 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: all meant to hit Trump too. So he's working for Trump, 272 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: trying to undermine Trump, using national security information to do it. 273 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's one hundred percent correct. And so 274 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: again I will be curious to see how this plays out, 275 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: but not a not a strong position in general to 276 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: break down. I mean, I think beyond a shadow of 277 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: a doubt, so John Bolton latest, I think the question 278 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: is how many more people are going to get charges 279 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: brought and how many of these people are eventually going 280 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: to get convicted versus a jury pool that is likely 281 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: predisposed to not like Trump, although you know, Trump's approval 282 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: ratings starting to go up, So maybe even in Northern Virginia, 283 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: there are people who are having their having their expectations 284 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: altered relative to what they expected beforehand. Because Trump two 285 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: point zero is really kind of making everything awesome, let's 286 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: be honest, And so as I break down everything here. 287 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: I want to tell you you have a good cell 288 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: phone service that you can rely on.

And I want to play 339 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: a cut for you to kind of put a bow 340 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: on the discussion that we had surrounding the John Bolton 341 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: eighteen felony counts that he has been charged with. Even 342 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: on MSNBC, when the indictment came out and they reviewed 343 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: the charges against him, they said, uh oh, this is 344 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: not very good for John Bolton. Here is MSNBC's guest 345 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: cut thirty three. Listen. It doesn't look good for him. 346 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: There's no way to slice it. The details of this 347 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: indictment do not look good. Okay. That's former White House 348 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews. And so if CNN and 349 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: MSNBC are actually saying, uh oh, that is a huge mess, 350 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: it probably is a huge mess for John Bolton, and 351 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: we've talked about that a lot in an hour. One 352 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: would encourage you go download the podcast. You can dive 353 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: in and keep up with us, even if you happen 354 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: to just be getting in your car or just turning 355 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: us on wherever you may be across the country. A 356 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: whole first hour much of the discussion about John Bolton. Now, 357 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: there were two different debates last night. For those of 358 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: you who have been following this closely, this is an 359 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: off year and there are not a ton of races 360 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: going on, but the New Jersey governor's race, the Virginia 361 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: governor's race, and now the Virginia Attorney General's race in 362 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: conjunction with the New York City mayor's race, will give 363 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: you some sense maybe of the political environment in general. Now, 364 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: to be fair, Kamala won New Jersey by five or 365 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: six points, she won Virginia by five or six points, 366 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: and obviously New York City, even though it moved in 367 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: Trump's direction, these are all Democrat bases. So I'm not 368 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: sure how much you can tell what the impact is 369 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: going to be going forward. Uh So, all of that 370 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: in mind, but within the context of these debates, I 371 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: just got to be honest buck, You're a lifelong New 372 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: York City resident who moved to Miami. What is Curtis 373 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: Leewa doing. Mom Donnie is going to win this race 374 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: as long as he stays in it. And I get it. 375 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: If some of you say, well, Andrew Cuomo is no better, 376 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for Curtis Sliwa, I get it. 377 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: But whenever there is an anti Mom Donnie vote that 378 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: is being split, it means Mom Donnie is going to win. Uh. 379 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: And so I just I don't understand at all what 380 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: is going on here, and Mam Donnie just went aggressively 381 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: after Andrew Cuomo. Will play a couple of those a 382 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: couple of those cuts, But I do want to play 383 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: this from Harry Enton, who just lays out the math 384 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: on Mom Donnie is gonna win. This is cut thirty one. 385 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: Mamdanni leads by eighteen points. 386 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 5: Right now, look at the largest polling average miss since 387 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 5: nineteen hundred and eighty nine. You know what it was, 388 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 5: It was eleven points. You don't gonna be a mathematical 389 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 5: genius to know eleven points is less than eighteen points. 390 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 5: So if Andrew Cuomo is going to come back and win, 391 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 5: either something like Curtis Leewa has to drop out of 392 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 5: the race, or you need a polling miss that is 393 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 5: nearly twice as large as the largest. 394 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: Miss on record. 395 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 5: So you're gonna probably need something historically unprecedented for Andrew 396 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 5: Cuomo to win this race if the polling average holds 397 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 5: through election day. 398 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: Okay, Buck, what am I missing here? Now? I have 399 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: previously said, and I'm sorry to the WR listeners. I'm 400 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: sorry to all of you in New York City. I 401 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: have previously said, I actually think Mam Donnie Win, a 402 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie Win is beneficial to the nation because it 403 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: forces a far left wing Bucks shaking his head. He's 404 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: already he's already getting rueful look on his face. 405 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 2: Hey, I thought we're all I thought all we conservatives 406 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 2: were on this lifeboat together. And Clay is taking New 407 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: York and the christ State area conservatives. Me's saying, just 408 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 2: like just like Jack, there was no room for him 409 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: on the door with Rose. He's letting New Yorkers just 410 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: slide into the icy depths after the Titanic has gone down. 411 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not okay with that. I would I'm rolling 412 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: my lifeboat over to you New Yorkers. I want you 413 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: to be Okay, water's cold, there's no room for the 414 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: rest of us. Sometimes you just got to toss New 415 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: York City in. Let it, much like Buck Island, as 416 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: another island, go underneath the waves of left wing insanity 417 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: and h and let the rest of us live to 418 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: see a happier day. So I actually don't know that 419 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: this is a bad result for the national picture as 420 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: it pertains to the House of Representatives, as it pertains 421 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: to all of the Senate races, governor's races in the 422 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: midterms coming up in twenty twenty six. But but there 423 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: is no other result here for New Yorkers. Mom, Donnie 424 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: is gonna win as long as Curtis Sleewa stays in 425 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: the race. Buck, You're a lifelong New York City guy 426 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: until a couple of years ago. What's going on here? 427 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: What is the calculus other than I want the attention 428 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: and I want the the Uh. I think it's just 429 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: attention because you're not gonna win for Curtis Sleewa, who 430 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: I like. We've had him on the show a bunch. 431 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: I just don't understand what he's doing. 432 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: Look, uh, I you know I appreciate where Curtis is 433 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 2: coming from us. 434 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't know him. I don't know him, but we've 435 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: had him on the show before and I like him. 436 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: I mean, he's yeah, and would he be would he 437 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: be a great mayor? Yeah, sure he would. Really, he'd 438 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 2: be so much better. But we got to look at 439 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: the political reality as it is here. And you said, 440 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a former New Yorker, which the the 441 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: Gertrude Stein thing. America is my country, but Paris is 442 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: my home. It feels like Florida is my state, but 443 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: New York City is my hometown. You know that's I 444 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: feel like a Floridian at the state level. But I 445 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: still have much more of a connection to New York 446 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: City than I do to Miami specifically. That may change 447 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: in time, But so maybe I'm a New Yorker in 448 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 2: exile in some way. I think a lot of people 449 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: down here are actually Clay. I think what you need 450 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 2: to do is have Cuomo offer I was gonna say, Mom, Donnie, 451 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: that's not good. Gonna have Cuomo offer Sliwa maybe a 452 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: deputy mayor role with the portfolio of public safety, which 453 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: would also go toward the fact that Cuomo is the 454 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: jail break. 455 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the problem here is Cuomo is awful too. 456 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm actually not getting the fact that he's considered in 457 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: any way to be the savior. Is how bad of 458 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: a position that New York City has put itself in. 459 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: I am not that convinced that Cuomo would be a 460 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: lot better than mom. Do Do I think he'd be 461 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 2: better than Mam Donnie. Yeah, I'm not convinced he'd be 462 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: a lot better than Mam Donni. So that's why it's 463 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 2: very hard for me to even I think the mentality is, 464 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I'm not gonna do what the Left 465 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 2: does with like a Hitler thing, but like, oh, that 466 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: Hitler guy's awful. Thank god, we've got Stalin on our side, 467 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: you know, Like there's a little bit of that going 468 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: on here. 469 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: Stalin was really bad too. Uh So I think that Cuomo. 470 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: Is Stalin in this analogy, And I think that it's 471 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 2: very hard for Sliwa to see this as anything other 472 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: than maybe a miracle happens. But I can't let this 473 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 2: be left to Cuomo either. But if you if you 474 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: want it to not be Mam donnie, he's got to 475 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 2: get some deal going, and he's got to drop out, 476 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: and why he won't drop out, I don't know. He's 477 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 2: not going to be mayor unless a meteor hits the 478 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 2: world and something completely unforeseeable happens. 479 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: Now, let me give you a positive side of this, 480 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: because mam Donnie's gonna win. I want all of you 481 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: to be prepared for this. I know the guy we 482 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: had call in who was all angry at me for 483 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: telling you this. This is not the polls trying to 484 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: tell you a story. This is Mamdanni is gonna win 485 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: because the Mamdanni opposition is going to be split between 486 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: Sliwa and Cuomo. Could be beneficial. Let me give you 487 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: a positive New York angle. Could be beneficial for Elised Stephonic, 488 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: who is running to try to beat Kathy Hokel in 489 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. In fact, this is what Elis Stephonic 490 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: just put out. The New York Times was upset that 491 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: Elis Stephonics said that that Mamdanni is a Jihattist. They 492 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: said that this is islamophobic of Elis Stephonic And this 493 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: is her response, which I like. I called Zorn Mamdani 494 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: a Jihatis because he is Mamdanni is a raging anti Semite. 495 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie is the definition of a jihadist as he 496 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: supports Hamas terrorist, which he did as recently as yesterday 497 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: when he refused to call for Hamas Terris to put 498 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: down their arms, the same Hamas terrorist group that slaughtered civilians, 499 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: including New Yorkers on October seven, twenty twenty three. He 500 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: is Kathy Hokeels endorsed jiehattest communist who she is empowered 501 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: to destroy New York City. It's why the New York 502 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: State Democratic Party chair refuses to support him. It's why 503 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: multiple Democrat members of Congress refuse to support him. It's 504 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have still not endorsed 505 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: him because Zron is a jihadist who will destroy New York. 506 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, now, that's a pretty good response from elist Stefani. 507 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: I think that not only could it benefit her in 508 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: the governor's race if Mamdanni is in, certainly, I think 509 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: it's massively beneficial to her point, There's a reason Akiem 510 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, who are also New York City guys, 511 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: have not come on board with Mamdani. So I am 512 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: circling back to I'm gonna look at this as a positive, 513 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: as a glass half full situation. Yes, New York is 514 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: gonna drown, but the rest of us are going to 515 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: be in much better position. So kiss to New Yorkers, 516 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm just gonna continue to float away on 517 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: my life vest while you guys go under the water 518 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: in the icy waters. 519 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 2: I just think I think there's room. I think there's 520 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 2: room for Jack on that door. And Rose needs to 521 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: just you know, suck it in a little bit here 522 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: and make some space. So New York, I'm not I'm 523 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: not letting you just go down into the icy depths 524 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: of communism without a fight. All right, mister Nashville over here, 525 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: a little bit of a Nashville New York rivalry. He 526 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: has no problem with New York turning into something. 527 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. Tennessee's fine, Florida is fine where 528 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: I am right now. New York, I'm gonna be up 529 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: there with you on Monday. But yeah, you're kind of screwed. 530 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: I think it's it's all gonna be okay. 531 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: But maybe this is finally the uh, the sanity that 532 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: needs to happen. Unfortunately, through a degree of pain that 533 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: will allow at least to Phonic to be not just competitive, 534 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: but maybe win against Kathy Hochel. That's a positive, I 535 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 2: do think. I think someone like hokel Well, the thing 536 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: that she would have relied on in previous elections to 537 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: stay in office would have been the abortion issue in 538 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: New York. I think that's going to be largely off 539 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: that it's not off the table. They're going to try 540 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: to make a thing of it, but people don't care 541 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: that much. It doesn't move the needle the way that 542 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: they would need it to. So I think at least 543 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 2: a Phonic will be very competitive on the economy and 544 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: on public safety statewide, and just also running a saner, 545 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: better government in New York, which it could certainly have, 546 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: as we love, we love to say New York has 547 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: fewer people than Florida and double the budget and worse 548 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: public services. So someone has to explain how that's not 549 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: the clearest indicator imaginable of the misappropriation or misallocation of 550 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: funds that's going on a New York and a regular basis. Mom, Donnie, 551 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: I also want to note play said this was cut fourteen. 552 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: He apologized to NYPD officers, But I want you to 553 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: listen very closely to. 554 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: The the way that he says it. Play fourteen. 555 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 6: I apologize for the language that I used, and I 556 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 6: spoke to them about the fact that I want to 557 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 6: work with them to deliver public safety because what we're 558 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 6: seeing in this city right now is we're asking officers 559 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 6: to do nearly everything we can think. 560 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 5: Of police officers that I spoke to, they don't want 561 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 5: a behind closed doors apology. 562 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 7: They want a broad public apology for the things that 563 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 7: you suggested about them. 564 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 5: Will you do that right now? 565 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'll apologize to police officers right here, because this 566 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 6: is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank 567 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 6: and file officers. And I apologize because of the fact 568 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 6: that I'm looking to work with these officers, and I 569 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 6: know that these officers, these men and women who serve 570 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 6: in the NYPD, they put their lives on the line 571 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 6: every single day. 572 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: I apologize for the language I used. I apologize because 573 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: the cops are great. He's saying here, But what he's 574 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: not doing is apologizing for jumping on the bandwagon of 575 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: cops are racist and cause all of the problems in 576 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: our cities because of that racism, and therefore we need 577 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: to pull funding from them, which makes everybody less safe, 578 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: including and specifically minority residence. Right, Like it's it's it's 579 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: a hollow apology, clays. 580 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, apologize. It's almost like. 581 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: When and you know where I'm going with this one 582 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: with your wife. I'm sorry if that upset you. 583 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: Oh not good? Or rather I'm sorry you took it 584 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: that way. Mmm, No, you know what I mean. Yeah, yes, 585 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you were offended by that. Like, that's 586 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: not really what they want to hear. Yeah, the tone 587 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: of your voice, tone of you. It's not what you said, 588 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: it's the tone of your voice. Why are you yelling? 589 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm not yelling. This is how I talk every husband 590 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: out there slowly nodding. I'm having flashbacks right now. I'm 591 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: a little traumatized just hearing you say this. This is 592 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: Let's play a little bit more of these, mind let 593 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: me play this as we go to break, and then 594 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Because Public Transit producer Ali, I 595 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: think some of the other crew rides public transit in 596 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: New York and they now are going to try to 597 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: make public transit free for everybody. Here's the problem. The 598 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,239 Speaker 1: issue is safety and cleanliness, it's not cost cut and 599 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: making it free for everybody to me is not going 600 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: to make safety better, and it's not going to make 601 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: the cleanliness of the experience better. Cut eleven. Just going 602 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: to raise tax rates and everything's going to be free. 603 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: This is what he's going to do. It's again New York, 604 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: you're going to sink underneath the waters. But the rest 605 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: of us, we're going to be great. We've got nice 606 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: life rafts. Cut eleven. 607 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 7: The question is how you'll make them free. 608 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 6: We will fund the revenue that would have otherwise been 609 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 6: brought in from fares, and that's something that we would 610 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 6: do in partnership with Albany. And I've put forward two proposals. 611 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 6: The first is to raise taxes on the top one 612 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 6: percent of New Yorkers by two percent. That would raise 613 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 6: four billion dollars. The second is to raise the safe's 614 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 6: top corporate tax to match that out New Jersey, which 615 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 6: would raise five billion. 616 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: Home there you go, just going to tax everybody. It's buses. 617 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: But how many people out there think to themselves, Hey, 618 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: what buses need? The cost is too high. We just 619 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: need to have cheaper bussing. Maybe I really think that 620 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: it's safety and it's cleanliness. That's what everybody wants. 621 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 2: You know, there are some real possibilities in the stock 622 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: market these days, but you got to know where to go. 623 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: You've got to have good research and good ideas before 624 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: it's on the front page of the big newspapers out there. 625 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 2: So I've been collaborating with some incredible researchers and stock 626 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: analysts for a weekly e newsletter, and you should check 627 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: this out.

I believe where 672 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 3: what we need to do is look at the nexuses 673 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: of power that are emerging through the Venezuelan developments. Right, 674 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 3: You've got China who's invested over sixty billion dollars into loans, infrastructure, 675 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 3: everything you can think of. You've got coordinated relationships potentially 676 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: with Mexican cartels. Just recently we had a Mexican cartels 677 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 3: issue basically headhunting fees on certain border patrols and then 678 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 3: I also think you have probably a large portion of 679 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 3: the population after the last election fiasco with Machado, that 680 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 3: is probably primed and wants to change. So all of 681 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 3: these things converging into I think the posture that we're 682 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 3: representing right now. I mean, what three D fifty two's 683 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 3: We've got ten thousand troops, We've got soft guys. There's 684 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 3: definitely agency folks working down there. So what happens next, 685 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 3: I think is going to be dependent upon Maduro's actions. 686 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 3: I mean, the funniest thing I saw in the last 687 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 3: few hours was one of their naval ships ran abrown 688 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 3: and sunk. So I'm not sure anybody's not good right, 689 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 3: So all of that, you know, I think we're things 690 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 3: are heating up for sure. 691 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Venezuela's Maduro regime has just ordered military exercises, by 692 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 2: the way, which I got to say, I guess if 693 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 2: you are the you're the tinpot dictator of Venezuela. Now, 694 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 2: ru you got to make it seem like you got 695 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: muscles to flex. But if I were this guy, if 696 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 2: I were Maduro, I might well, I'm sure he already 697 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: has stash cash in uh where are the places people 698 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 2: do it? Like the Cook Islands or the Channel Islands 699 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 2: or whatever. But if I were him, I would have 700 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: my If I were Maduro, I would have my go 701 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 2: bag ready and an exit plan. 702 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: Maybe he can go get an apartment next door to 703 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 3: a sad playing video games over in Russia. 704 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: Wait, can I just jump in there? 705 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 2: When I read that rut all I wanted to know 706 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 2: in that article just ever Understandce the longtime dictator of Syria. 707 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 2: There was a report that came out that he's just 708 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: hanging out in a luxury Moscow apartment playing video games 709 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 2: all day? 710 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: Is it call of duty? Like what? I want to know? 711 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: What the video game is? FIFA? Maybe? 712 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, roadblocks? 713 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. 714 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 3: You know, I think what's interesting is you have people 715 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 3: that capture power in the way they did. And you know, 716 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if either of you saw the deposition 717 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 3: from the gentleman relative Tina Peters was putting it out 718 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 3: relative to his work at Smart Mattic and the specific 719 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 3: development of that operating system to capture the elections thirty 720 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 3: years ago or whatever it was. And and you know, 721 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 3: I think when you have somebody that drives the country 722 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 3: into the ground, eventually, what happens the people began to 723 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 3: rise up, and we certainly saw that in the last 724 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 3: election and then the crackdown that came over. You know, yes, 725 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 3: this idea of citizen warfare. We saw what was a 726 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 3: couple of months ago, they were showing some promo stuff 727 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 3: of you know, tractor Bob and you know in the 728 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 3: Little ladyhold in the Aka learning how to fight, and 729 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 3: that's absurd. I just don't believe that this country is 730 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 3: willing to endure any more of what's been taking place 731 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 3: because you know, they're look at their inflation, look at 732 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 3: their production, get their output. The only thing that saves them, 733 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 3: obviously is illegal drug traffic and probably some human trafficking 734 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 3: as well as you know, probably some arms traffic, but 735 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 3: it's oil and so, you know, before putting boots on 736 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 3: the ground, I'd love to see maybe a blockade or 737 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 3: something a little bit more giving them time to negotiate 738 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 3: or alter or come out with a position before we 739 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 3: start sending, you know, a young American women into fight 740 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. 741 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 2: We're speaking to David Rutherford, former Navy seal, host of 742 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 2: the David Rutherford Show on the Clay and Buck podcast network, 743 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 2: which you should all be catching up on listening to 744 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 2: this weekend if you if you missed this week's episode 745 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 2: and and Rut you mentioned the cartels and how they've 746 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 2: put out bounties on members of US Border Patrol. We've 747 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: had multiple strikes now on on narco terrorist boats in 748 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 2: the Caribbean, lethal strikes right kinetics strike missile is basically 749 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 2: blown up ships. And we're moving more our military assets 750 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 2: into the region to do this. And when Joint Special 751 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 2: Operations gets involved here, when our operators are doing more 752 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 2: against these cartels, do you think the likelihood is they're 753 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 2: going to go on go to ground and try to 754 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 2: write it out or are they going to try to 755 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 2: escalate the violence in response to change the political calculation 756 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 2: here at home? 757 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 3: You know, that's the great question right iron Clad has had. 758 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 3: There's a woman who's a Mexican reporter who's talking about 759 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 3: she's doing on the ground interviews, you know, blacked out faces, 760 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 3: and they're saying, we're just going to wait it out. 761 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 3: But think about the magnitude of the impact of shutting 762 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 3: that border down. What does it cause? Right, It's a 763 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 3: lot of people. There's a guy named Oscar Ramirez that's 764 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 3: been reporting that there's a small civil war amongst the cartels, 765 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 3: grouping bit building. So you know, I think everybody's looking for, 766 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 3: you know, how do we recapture those those revenue streams 767 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 3: that we lost from human trafficking and probably a significant 768 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 3: portion of trafficking across the border, and so what what 769 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 3: do they have to lose other than you know, going kinetics. 770 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 3: So as a result of that, Yeah, there's a distinct 771 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 3: possibility that's this, you know, Jasock. I don't know about 772 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 3: typical soft units, the lower tier three units, but I 773 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 3: definitely think you know, Jasock combined with you know, maybe 774 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 3: some of the agency's assets or some of the you know, 775 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 3: counter narco assets within homeland. Yeah, they're they're going to 776 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 3: be ramping up their their mission profiles for sure. 777 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: Where does this go? All right, So we're and I 778 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: know you're trying to analyze this in general, but what 779 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: do you think the true end goal? Marco Rubio is 780 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: very very well informed with what's been going on in 781 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: venezuela former senator obviously now a Secretary of State, So 782 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: I would imagine that he's driving a large degree of 783 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,720 Speaker 1: this inside of the White House. If the Trump team 784 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: had their ability to sort of wave their magic wand 785 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: what would they like to see happen in Venezuela. We 786 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: know they have unbelievable I think it's Chevron, primarily oil 787 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: and gas assets that used to be American owned. There 788 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: have been reports that Maduro basically is bending the knee 789 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: and saying, whatever you guys need, I'll give back to 790 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: you in terms of oil and gas assets. Is it 791 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: any kind of negotiation with him or do you think 792 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: he has to be gone in order for there to 793 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 1: be any sort of reconciliation between the United States and Venezuela. 794 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 3: Play That is the one thousand dollars question right there 795 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 3: right And I think Mark Rubio is a great guy 796 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 3: to be doing this. You know, he's been so integrated 797 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 3: into the Central South American political landscape, his Cuban ancestry 798 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 3: and just where he positions himself and has been for years. 799 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 3: So I think he's a great guy. I think they're 800 00:43:55,080 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 3: riding this incredible high of negotiations right now. Obviously the 801 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 3: the Ukraine Russia one is the one that escapes them, 802 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 3: but I think there might be a real willingness to, 803 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 3: you know, come in and try and negotiate some type 804 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 3: of deal, uh to to put the fires out, so 805 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 3: to speak, and that would be relative to regaining some 806 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 3: considerable you know, uh leverage on the oil industry because 807 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 3: that's the heartbeat of their whole country. However, you know, 808 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 3: you've got a very staunch influence coming from China again, 809 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 3: you know, I was looking up the numbers just you know, 810 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,240 Speaker 3: this morning, and and it's pretty staggering what they've been doing. 811 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 3: So if they feel like they their exports can be 812 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 3: maintained through their China relationship or the Bricks relationship or 813 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 3: whatever that might be, I think they're you know, Madua 814 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 3: might be willing to save off any of the economic 815 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: pressures that he's already been doing so far. But I 816 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 3: I just think there's such a momentum. I mean that 817 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 3: that piece deal in Israel, I mean that is more 818 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 3: significant than anything I think we've seen in a long 819 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,760 Speaker 3: long time. And the fact that you know, Machada wanted 820 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 3: to give her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump. You know, 821 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 3: there's this unique relationship that's been formed there. So I 822 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 3: think it's some kind of either deal with with like 823 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 3: you said, with the oil industry or some of those, 824 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 3: but it's also I would imagine pressure to hold new 825 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 3: elections with some perhaps some un oversight that that would 826 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 3: be something that would be truly a monumental feat for 827 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 3: Rubio in his team of you know, the newly found 828 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 3: ability to have diplomacy in our state department, which is 829 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 3: a pretty awesome thing to see. 830 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 2: Right, Just promise me that you're not going to do 831 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: a air Quote Guy weekend in air Quotes Columbia or 832 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 2: Seana And he like, don't get any ideas, buddy, Okay, 833 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 2: we need you to keep doing the podcast. 834 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 3: You saw what happened the last time the Green Beret 835 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 3: guy went down there and tried to do it right, 836 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 3: and you know, it was kind of funny, which is 837 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,479 Speaker 3: kind of this hidden story a lot of people don't 838 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 3: talk about, is you know, they the last administration tried 839 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 3: to pin that on a bunch of Trump loyalists right 840 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 3: FBI investigations. They tried to really connect some true Trump loyalists, 841 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 3: people that are you know, involved in the government now 842 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 3: to participating and kind of that you know, random like 843 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 3: Kama Cozi We're going to take down. It was almost 844 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 3: like a bush League bay of pigs for Yasco for 845 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 3: the group thing. 846 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: It was like an eighties action movie plot, but it 847 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: was real. 848 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 3: It was totally real. And I have a lot of 849 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 3: friends that had to go talk to the Bureau as 850 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 3: a result of that. And so I don't know. I mean, 851 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 3: I I think the population is ripe for some influence, 852 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 3: but don't I don't know. And it seemed like the 853 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 3: military really coalesced around him to go after you know, 854 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,479 Speaker 3: the opposition or whatever you want to call it, after 855 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 3: those elections, you know, and we saw Brazil was able 856 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 3: to do that. You know a lot of these other 857 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 3: kind of socialist countries were able to do that. And 858 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 3: so what I think it is is how are they 859 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 3: so confident that they can, you know, repress those uprisings? 860 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 3: And I think it's about a money issue. So where 861 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 3: is Venezuela getting the money to pay for their soldiers 862 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 3: at scale in support of knocking down these these you know, 863 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 3: organic uprisings, internal and organic with quotations obviously. 864 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 2: You're just getting a little, a little taste here, everybody 865 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 2: of the David Rutherford Show, So go check it out 866 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 2: of the clan Buck podcast network this weekend.

You've looked at the 914 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,240 Speaker 2: national security side of what the bureau does before many times. 915 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 2: What's your first read of Ambassador or former Ambassador Bolton 916 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 2: with this indictment on the classified information in his home. 917 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 7: I think it's a solid indictment. I think that this 918 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,439 Speaker 7: is something that the FBI has likely been looking into 919 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 7: it for a very long period of time. But as 920 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 7: we know, having worked at the FBI, they pretty much 921 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 7: put the brakes on a lot of cases and investigations 922 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 7: that should have been indicted a long time ago under 923 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,359 Speaker 7: the Biden administration. And so now we've got a fair 924 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 7: dj right, We've got Attorney General Pam Bondy, FBI Director 925 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 7: Cash Betel, and they're getting in there and they're actually 926 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 7: enforcing the law equally and fairly. And that's something very 927 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 7: foreign to us, especially at the FBI. We didn't see 928 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 7: a lot of that equal enforcement of the law. And 929 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 7: so let's see what happens. I mean, you know, they 930 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 7: always say that you can induide a hand sandwich, which 931 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 7: is true. You know, the threshold that you have to 932 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 7: meet is just probable cause, you know, as opposed to 933 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 7: proving beyond a reasonable DABTA trial, But based on my 934 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 7: understanding and what I've read, it's a very solid indictment. 935 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: How optimistic are you that things are starting to get 936 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 1: back on the right foot? Thanks for coming on with us. 937 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 1: You've got a book, You've spent time in the FBI, 938 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: You've told your story about why you went there on 939 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 1: the show before. Are you optimistic that things are changing 940 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 1: as it pertains to the culture that Cash and Dan 941 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 1: Bongino are trying to bring to bear, and what have 942 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 1: you seen if that is true to suggest to you 943 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: that it's happening. 944 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 7: Okay, that's a great question. And I wish that my 945 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 7: book could come out a year ago before the election, 946 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 7: but you know, we're a year late basically in my opinion. 947 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 7: But that's okay. It's perfect timing because I think what 948 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,320 Speaker 7: it does is it details a lot of the frustrations 949 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 7: that I had working at the FBI, and I basically 950 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 7: represent the voice of FBI one, this solid FBI agents 951 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 7: who are just trying to do the good work as 952 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,720 Speaker 7: opposed to the FBI to the politically and socially weaponized agents, 953 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 7: and I detail step by step things that I personally 954 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 7: was highly disturbed by and writing this book and seeing 955 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 7: the new administration come in, it's very I have to say, 956 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,919 Speaker 7: I have hope because there are a lot of things 957 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 7: in that book that just drove us. We were so frustrated, 958 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 7: we were ticked off, we were angry. There was literally 959 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 7: like a civil war going on within the FBI, you know, 960 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 7: the two opposing sides, FBI one versus FBI two. And 961 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 7: as I've watched what Pam Bondi cash to tell, Dan 962 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 7: Bongino and others have done. Slowly but surely, it's going 963 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 7: to take time, but I am seeing things check. You know, 964 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,720 Speaker 7: the diversity initiative that was going on at the Bureau, 965 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,240 Speaker 7: it was off the charts. I mean, I started feeling 966 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 7: like I worked for a social justice warrior club rather 967 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 7: than the number one law enforcement agency in the world. 968 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 7: And they have completely obliterated those programs that in and 969 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 7: of itself is a huge plus for the Bureau. And 970 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 7: seeing these indictments coming out, you know, I'm kind of 971 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 7: sick and tired of people on the left saying, you know, 972 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 7: this is political retribution. Actually what this is is this 973 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 7: is accountability, and it's equal enforcement of the law, and 974 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 7: it's very long overdue, and so no, this is not 975 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 7: political retribution. This is what should have been happening all along. 976 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 7: And so these are examples, you know, seeing Jim Comey 977 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 7: get indicted, you know, watching John Bolton, people that were 978 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,720 Speaker 7: fact that they were untouchable under the last administration. And frankly, 979 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 7: since all of this occurred, I say, for the last 980 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 7: at least ten years. Those are the steps that they're taking. 981 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 7: And then I think another really important thing is I think, 982 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 7: slowly but surely, they're rooting out the deep state from 983 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,879 Speaker 7: the FBI. And that's a daunting task. I mean, this, 984 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 7: this didn't happen overnight. This what they've created, and the 985 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 7: mess that they're being asked to clean up. This has 986 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 7: been going on for over a decade, and so I 987 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 7: am hopeful and I think my book will be interesting 988 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,760 Speaker 7: in the American people because I worked under Obama, Trump 989 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 7: and Biden, and I worked under multiple FBI directors and 990 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 7: to see the progress that they have made in such 991 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,439 Speaker 7: a short period of time. I mean, they've captured four 992 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 7: people off of the FBI's most wanted list since January's 993 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 7: That's as many as Biden captured in four years. I mean, 994 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 7: it's pretty awesome, but it's going to take time. And 995 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 7: you know, it's just the reality of it. They've got 996 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 7: a lot to do, but they're working tirelessly. So I 997 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 7: feel I do feel a sense of hope. But I 998 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 7: do think my book is kind of something that they 999 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,319 Speaker 7: can even use and say, look, how are we doing 1000 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 7: on this? How are we doing on that? But I 1001 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 7: do think that they're making significant progress. 1002 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 2: And one thing that I remember hearing Nicole when Comy 1003 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,280 Speaker 2: was the really, at one point in time, the chief 1004 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 2: of the hashtag resistance against Donald Trump, right he was 1005 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 2: this this big figure of admiration for MSNBC and the 1006 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: New York Times, was that when he got fired, there 1007 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 2: was this there was this story that was always being 1008 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 2: circulated by the Democrat media of oh my gosh, all 1009 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 2: the agents are just crying in the hallways because Komy 1010 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 2: is gone. What's the truth of that? 1011 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: Yes or no? Or what can you tell us? 1012 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 7: Excellent question, And I'll tell you right now, that's what 1013 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 7: my book's about. FBI one. We were cheering, celebrating because 1014 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 7: he's single handedly was the one that destroyed the FBI 1015 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 7: and frankly, it's never recovered. FBI one. Agents like myself 1016 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,839 Speaker 7: were like, thank goodness, thank you, President Trump. This is 1017 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,759 Speaker 7: absolutely justified. Get him out of here. FBI two. They 1018 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 7: were the ones that were crying and so upset and 1019 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 7: this is not fair. And they literally had mugs and 1020 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 7: T shirts in all this paraphernalia that said Komy's homies. 1021 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 7: That's how you could tell it the bureau and it is. 1022 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 7: It literally is like you're either on one side or 1023 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 7: you're on the other. So I would say it's a 1024 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,720 Speaker 7: mixed right, I'd say if the FBI was probably fifty 1025 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 7: to fifty. But it really did feel like an internal 1026 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 7: civil war, like you would think that you were working 1027 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 7: for two different agencies based on what side of the 1028 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 7: spectrum you are, and it really was and always based 1029 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 7: on politics either. I mean I worked with some outstanding agents. 1030 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 7: Why don't share political views with The key is can 1031 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 7: you put aside your political persuasions and do a fair 1032 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 7: and unbiased investigation? And frankly, many of these agents of 1033 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:16,879 Speaker 7: FBI too were incapable of doing that. I mean, look 1034 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,440 Speaker 7: at Peter Struckle, he's a page. Andrew mccabs James call me. 1035 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 7: The list goes on and on and on, and you'll 1036 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 7: read in my book Cases where I worked to protect democrats, 1037 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 7: I didn't say, oh, you know, I'm not going to 1038 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 7: protect you because we don't share political views. That's not 1039 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 7: the way it works, that's not the way the law works. 1040 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 7: But unfortunately, that's how FBI two worked, and that's how 1041 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 7: they destroyed the agency. 1042 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 1: How much should we be concerned, Nicole, Let's say that 1043 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 1: somehow the Democrats win back, and again this kind of 1044 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 1: goes to the culture. Are we in a world now 1045 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 1: where the FBI culture swings wildly based on who the 1046 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: president is? Or do you think the culture can be 1047 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,120 Speaker 1: fixed where the president doesn't matter? In other words, right 1048 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: now everything's great. Trump's president. January twenty twenty nine, a 1049 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,439 Speaker 1: Democrat comes in, Kamala Harris, AOC, Gavin Newsom, insert name here. 1050 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,400 Speaker 1: How much should we be concerned that the culture just 1051 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: flips right back to what it was when it was broken. 1052 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 7: That's a genuine concern. That's a concern that I personally have. 1053 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 7: Bringing back all of these social justice warrior clubs, the 1054 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 7: things that literally destroyed law enforcement agency work. Then they're 1055 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 7: going to say, Okay, well now we're going to go 1056 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 7: after these people. But that's why I think it's important 1057 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 7: that under this administration that these indictments is made perfectly clear. 1058 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 7: These are not political retribution indictments. These are what we 1059 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 7: call equal enforcement of the law. And that's what it 1060 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 7: has to be. It cannot be this ping pong. Oh, 1061 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 7: you know a Democrat, this is to happen a Republican's 1062 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 7: in charge. No, it literally has to be a political 1063 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 7: and lady justice must be blind. That's the goal. We'll 1064 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 7: see what happens, because I'm telling you right now, the 1065 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 7: Democrats they're just thinking, Oh, they're just going after all 1066 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 7: of you know, Trump's opponents. That's not what's happening at all. 1067 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 7: They're finally enforcing should have been enforced a long time ago, 1068 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 7: and that's what Americans want to see. It should be 1069 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 7: fair and it should be unbiased. And for anyone to 1070 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 7: say that it was fair and unbiased under the Biden administration, 1071 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 7: it's completely that's just ridiculous. I mean, they went after 1072 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 7: President Trump like he was on the FBI's top ten 1073 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 7: most wanted list. I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. Again, 1074 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 7: I detailed things that I heard with my own two ears. 1075 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 7: The rate at mar A Lago was an FBI in 1076 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 7: Miami's jurisdiction, which is where I was located. Hearing some 1077 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 7: of the conversations, I'm like, I can't believe that this 1078 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 7: is happening. Is this is not what we when we 1079 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 7: raised our hand into the oaths, it was not to this. 1080 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 7: We are sworn to protect the American people and uphold 1081 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 7: the Constitution. And again, FBI one, they did it beautifully. 1082 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 7: They're out there working violent crime, stopping human traffickers, and 1083 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 7: I do I talk about some of the heroin cases. 1084 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 7: My best friend the FBI was killed protecting children. Those 1085 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 7: are heroes. There are good people there. But the other 1086 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 7: half FBI two political nonsense. 1087 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 2: And wait, what did they tell people if it was 1088 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: what were they telling the agents had to put on 1089 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 2: the famous or infamous windbreakers that we all think of 1090 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 2: we think of FBI raids, that they were going to 1091 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 2: essentially the President's residence at mar A Lago to grab 1092 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 2: some dusty folders. How did they sell that one to 1093 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,160 Speaker 2: the FBI agents in your office? 1094 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 7: Okay, so first of all, the raid jackets, Yeah, it's 1095 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 7: on the cover of my book. I was not involved 1096 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,919 Speaker 7: at the raid of mar A Lago. But they there 1097 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 7: wasn't like a big open discussion that it was going 1098 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 7: to be happening. Okay there For instance, roger Stone, when 1099 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 7: the roger Stone incident happened, they actually sent out what 1100 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 7: we call a canvas and it was an email acting 1101 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 7: people to volunteer for an arrest in for Lauderdale. But 1102 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 7: they didn't specify who it was or what it was. 1103 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 7: Something in my gut was like, and that's off, I'm 1104 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 7: not doing that because you know, when they have these 1105 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 7: big operations. 1106 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 2: Did you think did you think that someone in the 1107 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 2: bureau tipped off the FBI to the oh sorry, tipped 1108 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 2: off the CNN to that raid. 1109 00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: By the way, how else is the course? How about that? 1110 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 2: Well, I just wanted to get an FBI person on, 1111 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 2: you know, to say this because we're all said at 1112 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 2: the time, there's no way CNN just happened to be 1113 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 2: there at. 1114 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 7: Five yeuts, no, no, you read in my book that's not 1115 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 7: a coincidence. You don't just suddenly get information about that, Like, 1116 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 7: no one knows where we are, what we're doing. But 1117 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 7: as far as Mara a Lago, that's not something that 1118 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 7: they put a canvas outboard. They handpicked very carefully and 1119 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 7: it was WFO from DC that came down. They worked 1120 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 7: with FBI Miami. Certain people were selected. Obviously, it was 1121 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,959 Speaker 7: up in our Palm Beach office out of the Palm 1122 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 7: Beach Residence Agency, which is part of FBI Miami. 1123 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 2: Did you hear of anyone refusing Sorry, sorry, but we 1124 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 2: have limited time. Did you hear of anyone refusing to 1125 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 2: go or at least raising the issue of like I 1126 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 2: don't want to be a part of this. 1127 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 7: Yes, I did, yep, I did. 1128 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were good. 1129 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 7: It said no, I don't want to be a part 1130 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 7: of that. And again FBI one, they want nothing to 1131 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 7: do with it. They just want to do so. Yeah, 1132 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,360 Speaker 7: there are people within the agency that said no. I 1133 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 7: personally was one that said, I'm not doing January sixth, 1134 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 7: I don't care. And I made a vow to my 1135 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 7: best friend the day before she's killed. We're like, we're 1136 01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 7: not doing that, no matter what, I Am not doing 1137 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 7: that because that is not fair. It is they are 1138 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 7: my friend right before she died, literally some of her 1139 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 7: last words, and it's very very powerful. She's like, this 1140 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 7: looks like political intimidation. I'm not going to be a 1141 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 7: part of this. And I said I'm not going to 1142 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 7: be a part of it either, And we made a 1143 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 7: vow to each other and then she was killed, you know, 1144 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 7: eighteen hours later. So these are the kinds of honorable 1145 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 7: people that we don't hear about at the FBI. The 1146 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 7: FBI one, they are strong, I mean, she lost her 1147 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 7: life protecting children. On the other hand, there were people 1148 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 7: salivating at the chance. 1149 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: What happened to your friend. You've mentioned this a few times. 1150 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: I assume it's in the book. 1151 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,560 Speaker 7: It's in the book, and it's very it is. It 1152 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 7: is disgusting. They didn't send the SWAT team for her operation. 1153 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 7: When they were going to take down the child predator 1154 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 7: for a search warrant the child you know, child porn guy, 1155 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 7: no slot for her. And this is February second of 1156 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one. But in the meantime, they were liberally 1157 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 7: sending SWAT resources nationwide for January sixth misdemeanors. People that 1158 01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 7: walked into the Capitol and took a photo. They got 1159 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 7: the full force of the federal government on them with 1160 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 7: SWAT and everything. But when it came to the real 1161 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 7: work and people protecting children like my best friend, no 1162 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 7: SWAT two ages dead, three agent shot. And you will 1163 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 7: read about that in the book. And that's something no 1164 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 7: one knows about. So I think this book will be 1165 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 7: very interesting to people. And by the way, the FBI 1166 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 7: didn't even pay for her funeral. They didn't have the 1167 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 7: money to pay for her funeral, but they had the 1168 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 7: money to pay for diversity programs. So I recommend that 1169 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 7: people pick up the book because their little facts and 1170 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 7: details that only an insider like I lived it, and 1171 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 7: it's it's so frustrating when you're on the inside. You 1172 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 7: can't say a word, you can't say. 1173 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to get my copy right I'm sold. I'm 1174 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 2: gonna get my copy right now, and I recommend everyone else. 1175 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 2: The two fbis Nicole Parker's the author.

There she was met with prayer, compassion, 1189 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 2: and love, and that love one out. Linda chose life 1190 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 2: for her baby.
