1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: This is what happens when the fourth Turning meets fifth

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: generation warfare.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: A.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 3: Commentator, international social media sensation and form a Navy intelligence veteran.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 4: This is Human Events with your host Jack Pisovic christ

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 4: Is Kay.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Does the Secretary's Office or the Pentagon in General Department

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: have a message for Senator Wicker, who, as a Republican,

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: has now backed this inquiry into Secretary Hegsteth again accusing

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: him of war crimes. It seems strange to see a

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: Republican going after one of President Trump's own cabinet members.

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: So I can't confirm that the Secretary of War spoke

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: with Senator Wicker and they had a good conversation where

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: he was able to explain to him a lot of

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 2: the rationale behind these strikes. And we work closely with

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: all of our partners on the Hill, whether Republican or

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: a Democrat, to keep them up to date on what

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: this department is doing in regards to the strike. So

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: we will continue to do that and will continue to

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: brief mem members of HASK and SASK and we look

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: forward to continuing those relationships.

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 4: Bick Follo up. You mentioned working with partners on the Hill.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Another senator on the Hill the Democrat side is Senator

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly. Now, we heard some reporting about a possible

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: investigation into him regarding his status as a retired retired

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: member of the United States Navy, still on pension and

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: therefore still still under the jurisdiction of the Uniform Code

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: of Military Justice and as such his membership you mentioned

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: the seditious six. Would that be grounds for possibly bringing

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: him back to active service for an investigation for MJP

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: or even a full court martial.

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: So you're correct, the Department of War received serious allegations

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: of misconduct against Senator Mark Kelly, and in accordance with

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: the Uniform Code of Military Justice and other applicable recommendations

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: and regulations, we're doing a thorough review of all of

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: these allegations, and the Secretary of War has tasked the

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Secretary of the Navy, John Feelin, with doing a thorough

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: review looking into all of these allegations and providing him

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: an update on December tenth. We'll have more information to

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: come on that.

41
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: If Secretary failing were to recommend court martial, that could

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: be an option on the table.

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: All options are on the table at this moment in time,

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: and we look forward to getting the Secretary of the

45
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Navy's review, and the Secretary of War has been very

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: clear in his statements as well that he takes this

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: extremely seriously and it is unacceptable.

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Well, ladies and John and welcome on board today's edition

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: of Human Events Daily. We are live from the Pentagon,

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: the Five Sided Puzzle Palace here on the banks of

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: the Potomac, Arlington, Virginia. Today is December two, twenty twenty

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: five Anno Dominie, and we're very honored not only to

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: be here in the Pentagon's facilities, we're also joined by

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: the Department of War Press Secretary right now, Kingsley Wilson.

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: Kingsley, how are you.

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on the show.

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you having us here, and I appreciate

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: you setting up the briefing today. This was the first

59
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: briefing of the sort of the new you know, depending

60
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: on press corps.

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: How do you think it went?

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: I think it was fantastic.

63
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: You all asked much harder questions than the fake news

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: journalists we used to have here in the Pentagon, so

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: it was a lot of fun. I think it was

66
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: great for the American people to hear from outlets and

67
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: journalists that they actually follow and read and watch, and

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: it was an opportunity for the Pentagon I think, to

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: revisit that promise of transparency that the ADMIN has been

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: talking about since the beginning. We want to be committed

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: to that and we're going to continue these engagements so

72
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: that the American public, through all of you, can be informed.

73
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: I want I just want to let everyone know that

74
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Kingsley handed me my question on a script, kitting it

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: not Biden style at all.

76
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: This was this was very much you know, I was not.

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Given any you know, any parameters or any you.

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: Know, you know we should ask about this or don't

79
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: ask about that.

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: And in fact, I think someone asked me at one

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: point there was Stafford who asked me what I was

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: planning to ask, and that I didn't even ask that question.

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: So no, there was and I saw people making accusations

84
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: of that and it just just wasn't true.

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: Wasn't true at all?

86
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely not true. We want to make sure that

87
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: all of the questions that we are getting are authentic,

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: and I think the benefit of having the new media

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: that we've got here in the Pentagon Press corps are

90
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: they asked the real questions that Americans want to know

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: the answers too. So we're able as a department to

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: think on our feed and make sure that we get

93
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: you guys all the relevant information. But there was absolutely

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: no planned questions today. I was surprised by all of

95
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: your amazing questions. And you know, some we can answer

96
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: do to operational security reasons. Some we can, but we're

97
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 2: committed to providing as much information as possible.

98
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think we broke a little news today with

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: particularly by the way, not only on you know what

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: you said about Kelly and Senator and potential investigation with

101
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: the status of that is, but also about this phone

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: call between Secretary head Seth and Senator Wicker.

103
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 5: Yes, I can confirm that they spoke.

104
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: I know you asked about that in the briefing, and

105
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: it was a good conversation. The Secretary felt good about it.

106
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: We've been really trying to keep all of the members

107
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: of Congress informed about these strikes as much as we

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: are able. We want to make sure that that's a

109
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: good working relationship on both sides of the House with

110
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: Republicans and Democrats. So we'll continue to do that We've

111
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: briefed Congress now Department led briefing wise, eighteen times since

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: these strikes have begun, and there's been twenty one strikes.

113
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: So we have regularly been briefing Congress on what's going on,

114
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: and we want to make sure that we're keeping them

115
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: up to date so that they know everything that's going

116
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: on is in the best interest of their constituents, the

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: American people.

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Now, can you tell us was that round about when

119
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: that call was? Was that last night? Was that prior?

120
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: It was the evening before Caroline's briefing.

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: Okay, so right about one story broke correct, Yes, and

122
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: then and you so is generally well received.

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: But that being said, is it your understanding that they

124
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: are continuing forward with their inquiry.

125
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 5: That I don't know.

126
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: That would probably be a better question for Wicker. But

127
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: what I can tell you is that we're making sure that,

128
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: from our purview, all of our congress members who have

129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: questions about these strikes, who need additional briefing about these strikes,

130
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: that we're able to provide that information to them and

131
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: to the American public. That's why it's so important to

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 2: do briefings like we did today and release the strike

133
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: videos like we've been doing. I think, you know, it's

134
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: really historic, these strikes and the fact that we're declassifying

135
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: so much and releasing these videos, I think it really

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: speaks to the transparency that we're trying to pursue here

137
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: at the Department to make sure that, you know, the

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: American people can feel confident our success in the in

139
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: the southcom region is true.

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I would, you know, i'd recommend

141
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: to the mainstream media that they could just watch Human

142
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Events daily because you've been coming on here, providing us

143
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: the video and answering questions about them really since the

144
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: start of these operations. So really, you know, when I

145
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: read some of these videos or some of these articles

146
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and said, we talked about that weeks ago, and you

147
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,840

00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson. Very quickly, though, folks, want to

162
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: tell you that somewhere along the way in our nation,

163
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: and Kingsley, I don't know if you know about this,

164
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know if the.

165
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: Military has a.

166
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Take on this, But did you know that at some

167
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: point this nation traded real flavor for seed oils and

168
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: processed and it is time to take back not just

169
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: our kitchens, but our defects.

170
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 4: And there we go.

171
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Our new partners, Steak and Shake, are here to help

172
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600

Speaker 1: the US military.

177
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: I'm just saying.

178
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, for all these operations, we want to

179
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: make sure our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines and guardians are.

180

199
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: I do also have to say though, coming from the

200
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Navy side, you know we always knew that when the

201
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: steaks and lobster came out, that meant all right, boys,

202
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: we're going on.

203
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 5: Deployment right, right, it's not an exciting deal.

204
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Like all I have to ask, I have to ask,

205
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: do you guys check the Pentagon pizza tracker?

206
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we have laughed about that account so many times.

207
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: It's actually sometimes accurate, which is very funny.

208
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: Oh not all the time, not all the time.

209
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes it just means we're here working late for

210
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 2: no special reason at all.

211
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Post had something about President Trump's Oval office schedule, which

212
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, of course it's you know, somewhat public in

213
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: terms of his hours, and they said that most days

214
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: he's there.

215
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: About twelve hours.

216
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: I saw that. Yeah, that's crazy.

217
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: There are definitely a lot of people working crazy long

218
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: hours in this building as well, so sometimes they need

219
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: some pizza, right.

220
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: So just accurate to the fact that people are working.

221
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: Yes, one, this building never shuts down, even over you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

222
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: There are always people here. Are our enemies don't get

223
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 5: to go on.

224
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: Holiday break, right, so we're always here, always protecting the

225
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: American people.

226
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 5: The mission never stops.

227
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: Well, and they have they have separate holidays to begin with,

228
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: so you know, no no Thanksgiving. We have we have

229
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: some guys who work on the show that are from Canada.

230
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: So I always said, and I say, ah, you guys

231
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: don't get Thursday off. But so so a lot of

232
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: questions of course today about Venezuela as well. Were you

233
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: expecting that from this because we were told going in

234
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: and I you know, I read the Washington Post, to

235
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: read the legacy media. They say, oh, this is going

236
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: to be lap dogs, it's gonna be sick of fans.

237
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: There's going to be no serious questions. But you did

238
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of serious questions. I think on on

239
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: the Venezuela question, this is something where you know, when

240
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I reach out to our audience and I see, by

241
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: the way, guys send in seventeen seventy six at human

242
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: events dot com. Seventeen seventy six at human events dot Com,

243
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: what do you think the US should do in Venezuela?

244
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: And it's the audience is very split.

245
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Maduro Narco trafficking and you know, other people say get

246
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: out of it. Completely From the Pentagon's perspective though, and

247
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: you mentioned, it's really more about providing optionality to the decision.

248
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: Makers one hundred percent.

249
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: So our job here at the Department of War is

250
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: to make sure the president has every single option available

251
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: to him so he can make an informed decision. So

252
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 2: when we get down there, we you know, assess the environment,

253
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: we make sure that we can provide best military advice

254
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: and recommendations to him. But ultimately he's going to be

255
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: the one who's going to make a decision about what

256
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: we do in regards to Venezuela any ongoing part of

257
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: our operations in the Western Hemisphere. So we'll continue to

258
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: provide him options and I think that's been a big

259
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: part of moving.

260
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: Our assets into the region.

261
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Right We brought the forward carrier, the Carrier Strike Group

262
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: down to the Caribbean.

263
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: It's there now.

264
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: It's the first time in recent memory that that's happened.

265
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: And what that does is provide the President a lot

266
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: of options and it provides us opportunities to execute if

267
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: called upon. Right, if the President wants us to do

268
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: something in a moment's notice, we're going to be able

269
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: to fall through on that order very very quickly. So

270
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: that's important for this department to always be ready. The

271
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Secretary likes to say nobody waits on the Department of War.

272
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: So that's really our approach in the southcom region for sure.

273
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: And to your earlier point. I was really impressed by

274
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: all of the very tough, very detailed questions that the

275
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: new Pentagon Press Corps asked.

276
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 5: They were impressive.

277
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: The lamestream media was honestly very lazy, and they would

278
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: just ask a lot of regurgitated questions that they maybe

279
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: saw on Morning Joe that morning about you know, why

280
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: are you racist? Why do you hate DEI just stupid

281
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: questions the American public doesn't care about anymore. This was

282
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: the real, nitty gritty, hard facts that the Pentagon Press

283
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: Corps today asked about, and that was very impressive.

284
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think it's just you know, coming

285
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: from my background as a Navy officer, you know, I

286
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: know that you know, Carry Strike Group, you had five

287
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: thousand sailors just just on the carrier itself, not to

288
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: mention the entire complement of supporting destroyers, cruisers, the air wing,

289
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: submarines and all the supply ships and all the rest

290
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: of the need. One thing that actually and and you know,

291
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I was one of my sort of pocket questions that

292
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking about asking, just as a guy who's

293
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: worked in naval warfare, is we saw these and and

294
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure it's something you're tracking. We saw

295
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: these strikes on oil tankers in the Black Sea that

296
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: were conducted by Ukraine using UUVs recently. Is that something

297
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: a new threat vector that the Department is tracking beside

298
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: this use of drone warfare against and by the way,

299
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: not just that the aircraft carrier, but even even these

300
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: supply ships, tankers, et cetera.

301
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: Everything else.

302
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, we're tracking everything. That's our job too, in

303
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: terms of being prepared, is making sure that emerging technologies

304
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: we have the best and that we're watching how warfare

305
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: is happening today. I think we've learned a lot from

306
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: just watching the Ukraine Russia war, especially in terms of drones,

307
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: and that's really informed a lot of our focus going forward.

308
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: We've launched a lot of initiatives and a lot of

309
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: investment we've poured into drone manufactory. We really want to

310
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: get fantastic at it and be the best of all

311
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: of the countries so that we can protect the American people.

312
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: So we're learning so much from watching that engagement, and

313
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: we'll continue to make sure that all across the world

314
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: we're taking notes, we're learning, and we're helping our war

315
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: fighters get the most lethal weapons they can possibly have

316
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: into their hands and quickly. That's something we've really been

317
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: pushing for as well. The Secretary gave a great acquisition

318
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: speech recently talking about reforming that acquisitions process.

319
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: There's so much red tape.

320
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: I know, I don't have to tell you you're in

321
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: the military.

322
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: No, No, I know, it's crazy.

323
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: So well, that was the other one is the shipbuilding, yes,

324
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: because you know, we look at it in terms of

325
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: our navy and you know, the lack of ships that

326
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: we have, we're I think we're less than half where

327
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: we were during Reagan's navy, Yeah, during that build up,

328
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: and yet we have a larger force posture around the

329
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: world and more missions that we're you know, either taking

330
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: on or at least different parts of the sea that

331
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: were whether it be small or whether it be East

332
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: China or East East China. See, you know where the

333
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Navy's involved, and yet we don't have the ships, the

334
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: ice breakers.

335
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've even seen you know, the Army launch

336
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: its Army Transformation Initiative and really just cut a lot

337
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: of red tape, cut a lot of bloat, and I

338
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: think that's a recognition that we're going to have to

339
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: be putting a lot more funding in the future towards

340
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: the Navy, towards shipbuilding. Right, We're going to have threats

341
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: in the Indo Pacific potentially that we need to counter.

342
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: We obviously have a ton of navy assets. I think

343
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: twenty percent of our naval assets right now are in

344
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: the southcom region in the Caribbean.

345
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: That's very historic.

346
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: So we recognize that this is going to become you know,

347
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: a lot of sea warfare in the future, and we

348
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: want to be prepared for that.

349
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh and I mean it's certainly always been America's pre

350
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: eminent domain.

351
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: I mean and in addition to.

352
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, air and army, but there are our ability

353
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: to project force on the seat.

354
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: That's why I joined the Navy. Yes, quite frankly, it's

355
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: you know, no offense the other branches.

356
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: President always says that, doesn't he I would have joined

357
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: the Navy.

358
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: I would have been an admiral.

359
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

360
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't always bring that up because I want rub

361
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: it in any cases, but I have heard him say

362
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: that a few times. Yeah, just kind of think in

363
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the back of my head that I know, if you're

364
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: if you're looking at what the United State, because the

365
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: United States is you know, we have our We're on

366
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: an island basically connect disconnected from the rest of the world.

367
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, whether it be the Panama Canal,

368
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: whether it be the gi Uk Gap, what by Greenland,

369
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: whether it be our of course are our naval borders

370
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: and what is part and parcel of that at the

371
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Gulf of America and then the entire Caribbean. That's why

372
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: it's so important to secure this because that is our

373
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: actual best defense as a.

374
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: Nation one hundred percent. And I know people like to

375
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: talk about to how in the fake news media, they

376
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: like to talk about how we're putting the homeland before China.

377
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: It's absolutely not true. We're doing both at the same time.

378
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: The China is all over the Western Hemisphere, They're all

379
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: over the Panama Canal. The Secretary when he went down

380
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: to the Panama Canal, talked about that threat and talked about,

381
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: you know, no longer will China control this canal. We

382
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: are going to make sure that American ships, military vessels

383
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: have first and free navigating.

384
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, all the elites across the entire Caribbean are learning

385
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: our learning Mandarin right now. Whether you look at Trinidad,

386
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: we look at go off of right, right off the

387
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: coast of Venezuela. If you go ever out, the Chinese

388
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: are in every single spot. And I remember going and

389
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: trying to brief this to variety of entities in Washington, DC,

390
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: and I said, I wonder if it will take the

391
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: People's Liberation Army Navy building a military base in the Caribbean,

392
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: either off the coast of Cuba or somewhere else for

393
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: people to actually wake up and start taking this seriously.

394
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's definitely something that President Trump has always taken

395
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: seriously and something that this Department will continue to take seriously.

396
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: And I think the biggest thing we can do to

397
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: protect the American people from all the threats we face,

398
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: like you said, is to make sure our homeland is secure.

399
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: That's really where it all starts. If we don't have

400
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 2: a nation, what are we even defending. So securing our

401
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: border has been a huge part of that. There's nobody

402
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: crossing the southern border. We've got a lot of border

403
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: patrol down there working with our troops. We've got almost

404
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: ten thousand troops down there, I think now, So it's fantastic.

405
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: And now we're going even further right to make sure

406
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 2: that narco terraces in the Gulf of America, gun across

407
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: our shores can no longer threaten our people. So homeland

408
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: defense is really how we make sure that America is

409
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: kept safe.

410
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and well we're going towards break and I suppose,

411
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: I suppose I'll have to ask you a little bit

412
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: more about that narco terrorist threat and we have will

413
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: more segment.

414
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, that's what works.

415
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll hit that because let's just say that

416
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: in a previous life, I know a little bit about

417
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: the drone warfare program and even Admiral Bradley believe or not?

418
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, oh yeah maybe right.

419
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, there you go.

420
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 4: You know.

421
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: So I'll just say I read that Washington Post piece

422
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: a little bit differently than I think most people in

423
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: media because I actually have a tiny bit of a

424
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: background in that.

425
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 4: And once I have to say I agreed a little

426
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 4: bit more with The New York Times, So did I.

427
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: Jack Posobic The Department of War episodes, even.

428
00:18:50,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: Stay right by talk about influences. These are influences and

429
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 6: they're friends and mine.

430
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 7: Jack, break down, all right, Jack Pacobic, here we are

431
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 7: live human events daily.

432
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: The Pentagon episodes we're here with Department of War Press

433
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Secretary Kingsley Wilson. By the way, thank you, I should say,

434
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: for letting us occupy. We've occupied the Pentagon, we've occupied

435
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: your studio to use our show today, So.

436
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 5: We're happy to have you. Yeah, no, anytime.

437
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: I really appreciate that.

438
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, you may not appreciate up my next question,

439
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: because so you know, look, I asked you about the

440
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Senator Waker question, but you know, this situation regarding these

441
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: strikes that took place off off the shore of Venezuela,

442
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: this question about you know, the order to strike survivors,

443
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: questions about legality. Was this something that you were expecting

444
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: coming from you know, starting these operations. I know you

445
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: and I have been on the show talking about them

446
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: in the past, but really, what's been the Department's thought

447
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: process in terms of responding to this specific allegation.

448
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, so from the beginning, we've been expecting that

449
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: the mainstream media would attack the operations in some sense, right.

450
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: We saw this with Operation Midnight Hammer. They said, oh,

451
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: actually you may not have obliterated or on nuclear facilities.

452
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: Of course we did completely without a shadow of a doubt.

453
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: And the President said as much multiple times. The Secretary

454
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: and the Chairman said as much multiple times. But the

455
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: fake news has such bad TDS that they would rather

456
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: root against the success of a military operation than admit

457
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: that President Trump had a resounding victory as commander in chief.

458
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: So we anticipated that there would be some mainstream media

459
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: attacks about these strikes, and I think that early on

460
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: took the form of questioning the legality of the strikes.

461
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: And it was really interesting for me, especially to see

462
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: the mainstream media just carry so much water for these

463
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: narco terrorists and really defend cartel members who are trafficking

464
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: illegal narcotics to our country to kill Americans instead of

465
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: our brave warriors who are out there doing the tough work,

466
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: our intel analysts who are out there doing the tough

467
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: work making sure that the American people are kept safe

468
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: from these threats. So this is something that we anticipated

469
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: at the Department.

470
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: To your point, the last time I had you on

471
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: the show, I specifically asked you this question and regarding

472
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: actual VBSS operations and sending troops onto those boats potentially

473
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: for capture, potentially, et cetera, et cetera. And I'll make

474
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: the same point I made that back then where I said,

475
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: you know, as an intelligence officer, I always want to

476
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: detain and interrogate, you know, that's the right. Yeah, mine

477
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: goes that's been having spent time at GETMO, that's you know,

478
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: that's where we get great sources of information for the

479
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: rest of the Narco network. That being said, I also understand,

480
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: and as anyone should, that those are incredibly more dangerous

481
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: for our you.

482
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: Know, for our special operation forces.

483
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Obviously it is what they trained for the best of

484
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: the world, no question, but it's far more dangerous to

485
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: ask someone to do that. And it seems like they're

486
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: being very glib by just demanding, oh well you should

487
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: just go in and and you know, send send sailors

488
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: on those boats.

489
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 7: Right.

490
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's ridiculous.

491
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 2: And the President was talking about this a little bit

492
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: with the Secretary of War in the cabinet meeting I

493
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: was watching just before I came in here, and the

494
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: Secretary was making the point that thanks to President Trump

495
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: designating these groups as designated terrorist organizations, the.

496
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 5: Kid gloves have come off.

497
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: Biden let Narco terrists into our country through our southern border,

498
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: gave them free healthcare, free phones, free housing. Now we're

499
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: sinking their boats and that they're at the bottom of

500
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: the ocean. So that sends a message right too, all

501
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: across the region that if you are a narco trafficker

502
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: who wants to bring poison into our country to kill Americans,

503
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: we are going to come after you and we're going

504
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: to kill you.

505
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 5: That is on the table.

506
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: So these lethal kinetic strikes I think have been incredibly

507
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: effective too in terms of sending a message to the

508
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: cartels that we're here, this is the previous administration, we

509
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: mean business.

510
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: You know, I I forget if I mentioned this to

511
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: you or not, but I was in a debate with

512
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: the Libertarian presidential candidates last year and Ryan Grimm from

513
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: from drop Site News. I was not a fan of

514
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: drone strikes whatsoever. I kind of like him though, and

515
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: because he's consistent, I'll get on that, and he's always

516
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: been against them, and he was the moderator and I

517
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: had said, you know, well, what would be a better

518
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: policy of the war on you know, the war on drugs?

519
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: And I said, well, we actually waged war on the

520
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: cartels and we just just bombed them. And you know,

521
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting that it seems like these they're

522
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: for a certain certain range of people. They can't even

523
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: quite wrap their heads around actually using the military to

524
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: directly defend the interesting American people.

525
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: Well, that's what's so interesting.

526
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: When I would talk with journalists from the former Pentagon

527
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: Press Corps, they exactly what you said, had a really

528
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: hard time wrapping their head around the fact that these

529
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 2: individuals are terrorists. And it's funny because the same people

530
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: for decades cheered on twenty years of war in the

531
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: Middle East, Right, they had no problem going after those terrafts.

532
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: But now that we're going after people in our own

533
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 2: hemisphere and protecting our own borders and our own shores,

534
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: they're suddenly very concerned about it. And I'm not sure

535
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: where these concerns are coming.

536
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: From your point.

537
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: There's there's a viral clip I retweeted earlier today. We

538
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: didn't pull it up for the show, where it's Senator

539
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: mar Kelly himself is talking about the strikes that were conducted.

540
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 4: It was this retaliatory strike.

541
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: To the Abbey Gate bombing, but it ended up being

542
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: completely wrong, and you know, they hit a family, it

543
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: was horrible, or civilians. And yet he doesn't seem to

544
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: have any real problem whatsoever you know with this.

545
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: And Wow, you did what you had to do, and

546
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: you're like, wait, is that the same.

547
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: Guy who's you know, freaking out just because Pete Hexath

548
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: is doing it, But not just that, It's not just

549
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: that it's secretary I said, I think it has something

550
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: to do with the theater of operations.

551
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: Yes, I think one hundred percent. I think.

552
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: You know, there was a lot of neo conservative, mainstream media,

553
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: big business interest in you know, endless war in the

554
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: Middle East, and we really focused on that to the

555
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: detriment of our own country and our own borders. And

556
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: President Trump was really the first to come and say, no,

557
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: we're going to reprioritize the homeland.

558
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 5: We're gonna put America first.

559
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: And that has been a total shift of approach for

560
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: this Department and for I think the administration writ large.

561
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: So it's definitely been an adjustment for some of those

562
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: folks on the hill, like Mark Kelly that you mentioned.

563
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 4: A little bit.

564
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: You know, it's at the UNI Party does not like

565
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: actually having to act in the interests of the American people.

566
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: Cause Wilson, I know, I'm gonna I'm not gonna try

Speaker 1: and just the opportunity to ask questions and get that

573
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: kind of transparency back and forth.

574
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 4: I will not tell you in advance.

579
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: I would not want you to.

Speaker 1: I will not be the president tweeting out clear the

581
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: airspace above Venezuela before Well, nothing I do. Oh wait, Actually,

582
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: one final question while I'm here. Do you have a

583
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: favorite Franklin the Turtle book.

584
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 5: That's a good question.

585
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember any of the different ones, but I

586
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: do remember the general Franklin the Turtle from when I

587
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: was a kid. But I hear there's new ones that

588
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: are coming out out Arco Terrorists.

589
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: The ones that are very good. By the way, I

590
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: was looking into that book, they're super woke.

591
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 5: So did you see the publisher's statement.

592
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, but go look at the.

593
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Books they've been publishing, just the queer history for children.

594
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.

595
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm dead serious. That's the type of people that

596
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,280

00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: Jack?

00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me back on well.

657
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Liz.

658
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: What do you make of the President and I believe

659
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: the DOJ now all announcing that they are going to

660
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: launch an investigation into this fraud?

661
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 8: Yeah? Wow, what a whirlwind and has been Minnesota making

662
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 8: national news yet again, Jack, just as you said, basically

663
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 8: for days at this point, for all the wrong reasons,

664
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 8: I should say as well, but you have originally The

665
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 8: New York Times finally acknowledged acknowledging this rampant extent of

666
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 8: fraud in Minnesota over the weekend. Again, we're talking multi

667
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 8: billions of dollars in fraud through multiple social programs in

668
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 8: the state. At this point, we also, interestingly enough, have

669
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 8: had this this x account that's been public for years now,

670
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 8: but it consists of hundreds of state employees, and this

671
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 8: weekend they solely placed the blame on Governor Tim Walls,

672
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 8: very publicly doing so. Posting that these Department of Human

673
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 8: Services employees, it's about four hundred of them that make

674
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 8: up this X account, that they went to Governor Walls

675
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 8: years ago hoping for some sort of partnership and stopping

676
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 8: this fraud that they were seeing. You know, a lot

677
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 8: of these people are actually writing the checks and doing

678
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 8: the checks and balances or trying to do so, and

679
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: they saw so many problems, I should say, brought this forward,

680
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 8: and it sounds like their concerns were ignored according to

681
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: what they're posting on this X account. Then you have

682
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 8: this account deactivated for several hours Monday after calling out

683
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 8: the governor specifically that post being seen tens of millions

684
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: of times. And then yeah, of course you have President

685
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 8: Trump weighing in with some choice words the governor over

686
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 8: the weekend. Elen Muska weigh in on things here in Minnesota.

687
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 8: I think that you kind of see a bit of

688
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 8: a sense of relief. I guess we're gonna see if

689
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 8: something is actually done. I think many Minnesota taxpayers are

690
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 8: just thankful that some more people here are willing to

691
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 8: actually take a look at this. You know, our reporting

692
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 8: does date back years. In fact, we have an entire

693
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 8: page dedicated to fraud over at alphanews dot org. You'll

694
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 8: see stories there. They've been stacking up for years. But finally,

695
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 8: is someone willing to listen? Will something be done? That

696
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 8: is the question many Minnesota taxpayers, I think have at

697
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 8: this point.

698
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: Jack.

699
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, this this is amazing too, because we've also seen

700
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: just in the last few days, the New York Times,

701
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: of all places, is coming out and reporting a headline

702
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: that here tofore you would only find at Alpha News

703
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: how fraud swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Waltz's watch.

704
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: And what's so interesting about this is, gosh, it just

705
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: seems that the New York Times wasn't able to find

706
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: out any of this information, you know, during the election

707
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: which we just held, where this guy was the vice

708
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: presidential candidate.

709
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 4: How strange.

710
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I remember being on your Showjack and talking about

711
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 8: fraud that was one of the many frauds you know,

712
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 8: I think perpetuated on this governor's watch. I put out

713
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 8: a book three years ago. Now it's been it's called

714
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 8: They're lying the media, the left and the death of

715
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 8: George Floyd again, who is one of the big theays

716
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 8: here in Minnesota. Well, that would be Governor Tim Walls.

717
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 8: We've talked about before. It's the seventy eighth defendant charge

718
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 8: just last week, seventy eighth in the Feeding our Future

719
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 8: fake meal scheme that's gone down as the largest COVID

720
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 8: scheme in the country. The New York Times does some

721
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 8: extensive reporting about that. But you're right that the timing

722
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 8: is very interesting here. You have Governor Walls running again

723
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 8: now for a third term in Minnesota. Some have publicly

724
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 8: called for him to resign in the wake up a

725
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 8: lot of this reporting. So I think we're gonna have

726
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 8: to see how this all plays out politically. You have

727
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: a very crowded Republican field. Nice to see actually a

728
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 8: lot of people willing to jump in to try to

729
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 8: do something about this, but certainly a lot of frustration,

730
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 8: and you see it on so many levels. But interestingly enough,

731
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 8: and I think this is part of the problem here

732
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 8: in Minnesota, Jack that I know I've spoke to you

733
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 8: about this before, but you have the mainstream media still

734
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 8: in Minnesota. They have not even reported on this x

735
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 8: account at all in these last few days, and instead

736
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 8: you have these national publications picking up what these state

737
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 8: employees in Minnesota are saying and have been saying since

738
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 8: October of twenty twenty two. But again you have that

739
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 8: the Star Tremune, Minnesota's largest newspaper, is run by a

740
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 8: former Walls commissioner. You truly cannot make up some of

741
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 8: these connections here in Minnesota, but we are seeing that

742
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 8: that this group, specifically on X they're saying they will

743
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 8: not be silenced. And you know, thankful to programs like

744
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 8: yours for being willing to talk about this and keep

745
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 8: it in the spotlight until something changes.

746
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: Well, Lizen and kirk of if you're wrong, but wasn't

747
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: there part of the feeding the fruit future investigation because

748
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: I know there's been more multiple cases and trials now

749
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: in terms of this, there was a jury bribing, jury

750
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: tampering scandal as part of this.

751
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: Do I have that correct?

752
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right. You had one hundred and twenty thousand

753
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 8: dollars cash jack left on a jurors doorstep in that trial,

754
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 8: left in like a Hallmark bag and that woman. Interestingly enough,

755
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 8: we actually just profiled a little piece just an update

756
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 8: on that bribe. The woman who left that bribe was

757
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 8: convicted and she's a waiting sentencing. Has not been imprisoned

758
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 8: as a result of that bribe. Not only that, but

759
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,959
Speaker 8: she worked for an insurance agency in Minnesota, where she

760
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 8: went ahead and fraudulently wrote herself a thirty thousand dollars

761
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 8: check from that agency. She went on to commit then

762
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 8: this feeding our future bribe. She had a DWI where

763
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 8: she left the scene of an accident and some terrible

764
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 8: things happened in that and she was just she was

765
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 8: picked up finally, I think, after who's a couple of years,

766
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 8: kept in jail for just a few weeks on all

767
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 8: of this, and now she's out again, and many people

768
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 8: are just saying, you know that this is enough. What

769
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 8: has happened? What has happened to the state that used

770
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 8: to take you know, law and order seriously? And just

771
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 8: how you know, these radical changes made under Governor Wallas's

772
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 8: watch have seen it seems to finally have have cut

773
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 8: up to.

774
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: Him and the juror in that case, the one they

775
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: attempted to bribe, was where was that the person that

776
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: actually reported it?

777
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: She reported it right away, yep, and was taken off

778
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 8: that that case, you know, and everybody returned. Everybody has

779
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 8: returned guilty verdicts on these cases over and over again.

780
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 8: But isn't that wild that somebody who can leave a

781
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 8: bribe like this And basically this woman then has taken

782
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 8: the stand in her trial to say, this is our culture.

783
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 8: Those were her words actually in her case, this is

784
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 8: our culture, this is this is what we do as

785
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 8: in some way to you know, excuse this this bribe,

786
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 8: and it's really made a mockery I think of of

787
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 8: the Minnesota a system as well.

788
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, when you look at this,

789
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: it really begs the question and it gets the heart

790
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: of what President Trump is talking about in terms of

791
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: the mass importation of this completely separate group from a

792
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: different part of the world into Minneapolis. And quite frankly,

793
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: it is absolutely right rereak havoc among not just from

794
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: a legal perspective, but just every real system in the

795
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: entire state and the entire city has just felt in

796
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: a huge downward pressure from this this this immigration program.

797
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 8: Absolutely and I think you know that George Floyd Riots

798
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 8: helped it to silence in a way much of the population.

799
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 8: You know, how dare you appear to be racist? We

800
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 8: actually heard the an assistant US attorneys speak to that

801
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 8: how race was weaponized in the feeding our future case

802
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 8: that people wanted to bring this forward earlier, but they

803
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 8: would see again and again, how you know it would

804
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 8: be Somali's perpetuating this fraud and that it would be

805
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 8: tamp down. You don't want appear to be racist as

806
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 8: the person that is bringing these concerns forward. Thankfully, I

807
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 8: think we've pushed back at you know, the facts kind

808
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 8: of speak for themselves. I think in these cases that

809
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 8: have been tried at this point. But you do have

810
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 8: the President saying that he's going to terminate temporary protected

811
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 8: status for Somalis in Minnesota. And actually, interestingly enough, at

812
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 8: this hour we're streaming a press conference that's objecting to

813
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 8: Trump's reported crackdown on illegal Somalies in Minnesota. So that's happening.

814
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 8: I believe it's happening at Minneapolis City Hall right now.

815
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 8: So again, rather.

816
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Than Liz Colin will be right back, hold that thought

817
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: quick break Human Events Daily, We are live Ptagon.

818
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: Jack is a great guy.

819
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: He's written that fantastic book and everybody's.

820
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 8: Talking about it.

821
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 6: Go get it.

822
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 8: And he's been my friend.

823
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 7: Right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.

824
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 8: And we're going to turn it around and make our counting.

825
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 4: Way to get to him.

826
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 8: I amen, welcome back. Before the break, we were discussing

827
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 8: what's happening here in Minnesota as far as the fraud concerns,

828
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 8: and I just wanted to pick up on the conversation

829
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 8: I was having with Jack earlier. Actually, it's a press

830
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 8: conference happening right now in Minneapolis. As it seems, city

831
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 8: leaders have come out in full force to fight President

832
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 8: Donald Trump as he is trying to basically zero in

833
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 8: on some of these fraud problems in the state. But

834
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 8: just reading from a press conference happening now. Democratic Minneapolis

835
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 8: City Council Member Jamal Osman calling President Trump at this

836
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 8: press conference again happening at the moment now, calling President

837
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 8: Trump racist, xenophobic, islamophobic. This press conference is being held

838
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 8: on Trump's Somali immigration crackdown that he has announced. But

839
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 8: what's interesting. In October twenty twenty, twenty twenty, Osmond himself

840
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 8: handed over control of a nonprofit he founded to a

841
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 8: group of new owners who then used it in Minnesota's

842
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 8: two hundred and fifty million dollars Feeding our Future fraud scandal.

843
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 8: So you can certainly see that this is a tangled

844
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 8: web in Minnesota and many leaders, so called leaders in

845
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 8: these left leaning cities like Minneapolis, doing everything they can

846
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,959
Speaker 8: to try to fight President Trump at every turn.

847
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 4: Jack Lit's collin this is it really represents, I think.

848
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: And we are back here from the Department of War studio,

849
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: and we do see that Minneapolis, Minnesota Department of Human

850
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Service employees X account the Minnesota DHS and looking at

851
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: it has been suspended but potentially coming back. So hopefully,

852
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: hopefully X can fix that. But I do, of course

853
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: see and I'm just pulling it up. I do have

854
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: to make a slight correction. It's the Department of Treasury

855
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: that has launched this investigation, and we see now that

856
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Besson says that at my direction, US Treasury

857
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: is investigating allegations that, under the fecklessness management of the

858
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: Biden administration and Governor Tim Walls, hard working Minnesota's tax

859
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: dollars have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al Shabab.

860
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: This came up behalf of a Chris Rufo investigation with

861
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: City Journal that some of the funds were actually used

862
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: to fund Al Shabob, an actual designated terrorist organization, which

863
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: interestingly enough gets us back to the drone strikes that

864
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier in the program here, and

865
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: says that they're acting based on the potential of the

866
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: use for terror financing here, which is very important, by

867
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: the way, because that gives the government extreme measures to

868
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: be able to use to go after these operations. Liz,

869
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: had you ever in your reporting come across any any

870
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: potential connections to these Somalian tarrist groups, you know.

871
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 8: I think that that was something also that that didn't

872
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 8: come as much of a surprise. And I say that, Jack,

873
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 8: I don't mean to be you know, say that off handedly,

874
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 8: but we've heard before and reported before how this money

875
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 8: has been funneled to Somalia, has been funneled to Kenya,

876
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 8: and you know, it's it's long gone by the time

877
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 8: that some of these investigators have caught up to the fraud.

878
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 8: And actually my sources have said that in many cases,

879
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 8: some of these these folks are willing to actually just

880
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 8: go to prison for five or ten years, serve their time,

881
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 8: and they've you know, the money's out of the country

882
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 8: at this point and they have a pretty good system

883
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 8: set up or when they you know, do get out.

884
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 8: It may sound crazy to the rest of us. But

885
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 8: even you know, there's a young man who was the

886
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 8: seventy eighth defend and sentenced last week. You know, his

887
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 8: sentence was about ten years, which probably won't serve all

888
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 8: of those years, and he had his long life ahead,

889
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 8: and it was about forty seven million dollars or so

890
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 8: that he was ordered to pay in restitution. I have

891
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 8: a feeling that you know that that money will not

892
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 8: be seen. So I don't think that that came as

893
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 8: much of a surprise as just how disturbing obviously that is.

894
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 8: But also Minneapolis has been many stories have been in

895
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 8: the national news over the years about how this has been,

896
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 8: you know, a breeding ground for terrorism, many people actually

897
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 8: charged with trying to join these terrorist networks in groups

898
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 8: young Somali men. That has happened many, many times and

899
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 8: made the news over the over the years. So sadly, again,

900
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 8: I think a storyline that we've seen here in Minnesota

901
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 8: in the past.

902
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: Well, I know, and it's certainly something where of course

903
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: the federal government and the Department Treasury are going to

904
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: get involved because now they're able to look at these

905
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: foreign transfers and say, wait a minute, you know, this

906
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: isn't people sending money back to their families. If they're

907
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: sending money that's eventually going towards the funding of a

908
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: designated foreign terrorist organization, then they're extremely large powers and

909
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: capabilities at the Department of Treasury that they have to

910
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: actually go after this. But Liz on another point, though,

911
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems as though this corruption is so rampant,

912
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: that the fraud is so widespread. Why is it that

913
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: Tim Walls either doesn't see it or he looks the

914
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: other way. Is he benefiting from it or is he

915
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: just sort of trying to act like it's not actually happening.

916
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 8: Actually, you heard in some comments this weekend, Jackie was

917
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 8: talking about how he did so much to put these

918
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 8: people in jail. It's well documented that it was the

919
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 8: US Attorney's office that has led the prosecution from the

920
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,959
Speaker 8: very beginning and the Feeding Our Future case and many

921
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 8: other cases of fraud in Minnesota. So people were quick

922
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 8: to correct him on that front. He's been asked that question.

923
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 8: In fact, he had the power in the legislature to

924
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 8: go ahead and create sort of this separate position, but

925
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 8: it was clear that he did not want that someone

926
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 8: to take a look at that somebody that he would

927
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 8: not control, if you will, a legislative auditor position, something

928
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 8: he did not back, but then he went ahead and

929
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 8: it was shortly after that that he came up with

930
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 8: his own way of fighting fraud and launched his own office.

931
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 8: But we've heard very little about anything that they've actually

932
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 8: accomplished in the in these many months. So I think

933
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 8: you're you're asking very good, good questions. I probably giving

934
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 8: you good answers. But I think a lot of us

935
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 8: here in Minnesota have been scratching our heads going, you know,

936
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 8: are these people in on it?

937
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 7: Is?

938
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 8: That that's why this has has gone on as long

939
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 8: as it has. But I think as as the days

940
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 8: go by, you see more and more people finally getting

941
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 8: the moral courage to come forward and demand answers.

942
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 4: And I think that's exactly right.

943
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: So, Liz, for your own reporting, are you able to

944
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: tell us where you're going to be working with? And

945
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: by the way, I should also ask, have any members

946
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: of the federal government reached out to Alph News?

947
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 8: You know, we have a few sources here. We'd be

948
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 8: happy to pass along all of our information. We have

949
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 8: a whole heck of a lot. And Jack, I'll be honest,

950
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 8: there is not a day that goes by that we

951
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 8: do not receive a tip at ELPHA News about some

952
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 8: sort of suspective fraud going on in Minnesota. I've actually

953
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 8: never seen anything like it as a twenty plus year reporter.

954
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 8: At this point in Minnesota, people are I think I've

955
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 8: told you before, but they're setting up surveillance cameras themselves,

956
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 8: they're taking pictures themselves of you know, these suspect properties.

957
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 8: You can pull these records quite easily online. But it's

00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 8: going on here in Minnesota.

971
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 4: Liz, thank you so much for joining us.

972
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 8: Thank you Jack.

973
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: Folks, you have to understand what's going on here. When

974
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: you import a group of people from a part of

975
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: the world where scamming and cheating and fraud are part

976
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: of the culture, then that is the culture that you

977
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: are going to import. This is third world culture. All

978
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: of the things that Liz is describing, that Alpha News

979
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: is describing, all of the things that all of them

980
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: are describing, are basics of third world culture. This is

981
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: why the third world is the third world. These are

982
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: cultural deficiencies. This is why the first world, the United

983
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: States of America, was able to be made the way

984
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: that it is. We have something called honor, we have

985
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: Christian values, we have Greek philosophy.

986
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 4: We have Roman law.

987
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: All right, folks, President Trump now about to make his

988
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 1: announcement and we are going to be cutting directly over

00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: to that. Ladies and gentlemen, As always, you have my

990
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,040

00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 3: all for being Here's a great group. And I guess

993
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: the potential FED chair is here too. I don't know

994
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: we're allowed to say that potential. He's a respected person

995
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 3: that I can tell you.

996
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,160

Speaker 3: Kevin. Today is Giving Tuesday. I don't know if anybody's

998
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: heard that one before, but it is indeed Giving Tuesday

999
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 3: one of the biggest days of the year for philanthropy

1000
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 3: and charitable giving, and this afternoon, Michael and Susan Dell

1001
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: are committing to one of the largest private donations in

1002
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: American history, which will directly benefit the next generation of

1003
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 3: American children through the new Trump Accounts program that we

1004
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 3: created in our One Big Beautiful Bill. Michael and Susan

1005
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 3: came to see me along with Brad and they said,

1006
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, this is an idea, and I said, I think,

1007
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: you know it sounds it's just so good and so unique.

1008
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 3: But that's why he's been so successful, and they've been

1009
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 3: so successful in life and in business because they're unique.

1010
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 3: Trump Accounts will be the first, I guess you could

1011
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 3: say real trust funds for every American child, allowing family members, employers, corporations,

1012
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 3: generous donors to contribute money that will be invested in

1013
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 3: grow over the course of a child's life, to be

1014
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 3: used for their benefit after they turn eighteen. So in otherwise,

1015
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: these are children that are an investment's going to be made,

1016
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 3: that investment's going to continue to grow. We hope we help,

1017
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 3: but it will, and they'll be they'll feel like they'll

1018
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 3: feel like Michael Dell someday. But at eighteen, they'll have

1019
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: a lot of money, a lot more money than they

1020
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 3: would have had, a potentially a lot of money. But

1021
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: these accounts will track the overall stock market will be

1022
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 3: one hundred percent private property controlled by the Childs Guardians.

1023
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 3: In honor of America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the

1024
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 3: Dells are announcing today that they are giving twenty five

1025
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: million American children two hundred and fifty dollars each to

1026
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 3: save and to invest in their personal Trump account. Now

1027
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 3: that's the equivalent of six point two five billion. In

1028
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 3: other words, to put it succinctly, Michael and Susan are

1029
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 3: giving
