We want you 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: to call in at one eight hundred nine four one 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: seven three two six nine four one seven three two six. 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of ground to cover today. We 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: have some breaking news Eric up in Washington. 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, as many of you probably heard during the 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: news break, we have a shooting. At least two National 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 3: Guards people have been shot in the Washington DC area. 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Uh. 33 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: The White House is currently on lockdown, as is the 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: Treasury Department. We've got to We've got Metro police on scene. 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: The shooting, it says, occurred at the intersection of seventeenth 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: and I. So you know, even when more information becomes available, 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 3: we will join any kind of press conferences or information 38 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: in progress. It's a tragedy in Peter Schwiz, as we've 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: discussed before on our podcast, The Drill Down. It flies 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: in the face of the larger trends that had been 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: happened as far as crime in the Washington DC area 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: since the National Guard were deployed. You've got robberies down 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: forty six percent, homicides down fifty three percent from this 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: time last year. Unknown what the motives are, how tragic 45 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: we are told noword on the condition of the guardsmen 46 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: at this time. 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: That's right, We don't know the motivation, we don't know 48 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: what happened. We're going to continue to monitor that for you. 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: There are other things going on in the world today 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: that we're going to touch on. We've got the Ukraine 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: deal that the President has been pushing. It's gonna be 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: interesting to see how that pans out. I like Trump's 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: approach here. I think it makes a lot of sense, 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: and I think this is going to be good for 55 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine and for world peace. We have the so called 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: sedition video that was put out by a Senate Democrats 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: and others basically telling members of the military that they 58 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: should not follow illegal orders. But we're going to break 59 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: that down in greater detail because I think it's important 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: to understand really what is going on here. It's not 61 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: what the people that put out the video want to 62 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: pretend is going on. It's something very very different. 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple different dynamics and work there, and 64 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: I think you very correctly point out some hypocrisy within 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: the left on their position. You say, you know, we 66 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: can't allow a aggression to succeed. That's the position of 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: these people in this video. But your point is that's 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: not a principle they apply universally. 69 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the argument that they make for Ukraine 70 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: not making a deal until they get all of their 71 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: territory back, which by the way, is not a realistic goal. 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: They lost that territory in twenty fourteen to in Crimea 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: that's not coming back. But the left has embraced this 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: principle to criticize Trump's deal by saying, you are rewarding 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: aggressive behavior if you have this peace deal in Russia, 76 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: get something out of it. What's interesting to me is 77 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: they don't apply that same analysis when it comes to 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: domestic crime. They're rewarding violent, aggressive behavior all the time 79 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, supporting these liberal prosecutors, these 80 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: liberal judges, these no bail agreements. So I think what's 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: really going on the opposition to this deal is primarily 82 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: they don't want Trump to have a win. That's what 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the criticism is if you 84 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: look at the deal itself, obviously it's a living document, 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: which I think is a great way to do this. 86 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: It's object to subject to negotiation. It's kind of different 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: from the days of Henry Kissinger in the nineteen seventies 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: or you know, during the George W. Bush years, where 89 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: diplomacy everything is behind closed doors. There's nothing discussed. Trump's 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: strategy is to kick the doors wide open. Let's have 91 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: this discussion, this debate in public. And I think that 92 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. But you've got Ukraine having 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: to make territorial concessions. On the other hand, Russia one 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars of frozen Russian assets in the West. 95 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: They will be given to Ukraine and this deal for rebuilding. 96 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: And there's also security guarantees for Ukraine. But a note 97 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: of optimism as we enter the holidays, I think this 98 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: deal has real possibility. It's kind of modeled on the 99 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: Gaza peacekeeping deal. So let's hope that this is a 100 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: good sign. 101 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting show. Peter and I are thrilled 102 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: to be with you. It's a tough first note to 103 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: begin with. You've got a shooting in Washington, DC, and 104 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 3: as we noted, we'll continue to monitor as events warrant 105 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: and provide any information as soon as we can. But 106 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: it is the last day before Thanksgiving, and so you know, 107 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: we have other things that we'd like to discuss. We'd 108 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: like to let you into and send you into your 109 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving break. In a more optimistic or positive mood. Peter 110 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: Schwitzer on our last episode of The Drill Down, we 111 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: did information about there's a poll showing more Americans. 112 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: I was surprised by this. 113 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 3: More Americans actually want to talk politics over the Thanksgiving 114 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: Day dinner table. 115 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, this surprised me as well. And by the way, 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: we'd love to have you call in. What is your 117 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: experience about talking politics at the Thanksgiving Day table? Does 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: it go well? Or do you have a disaster story? 119 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully not again, you can call in one eight hundred 120 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: and ninety four one seven, three two six. Script's news 121 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: service came out with a survey and the headline is 122 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: most Americans find political conversation at the Thanksgiving table to 123 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: be entertaining and informative. This is despite experts saying it 124 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: should be avoided. So growing up now, do you avoid 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: politics at the Thanksgiving table? 126 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: Well, most of the people I would speak about politics 127 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: with it by Thanksgiving table or children, So yes, although 128 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 3: I do delve into the elementary school politics. My daughter's 129 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: the vice president of a first school student council. For her, 130 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: I'm very proud of her. But no, it's interesting because 131 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: we're told ironically that we're so divided. Yeah, although I 132 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: wonder if that's true now in this second Trump era, 133 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: because it does seem like in the first Trump era 134 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: you saw so many protests and you know, and now 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: like the closest you get is these no Kings things right, 136 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: and the vitriol seems to not really be there. And 137 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: I think that's because it's generally acknowledging. 138 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Okay, Look, we're kind of all past it. Yeah, yeah, 139 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I think you're right. And look, I think if you're 140 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: gonna have a conversation to the Thanksgiving table, make it authentic, Okay. 141 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: A lot of these liberal groups, The ACLU has issued 142 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: a holiday conversation guide. These are talking points that you're 143 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: supposed to go through completely canned. They also say, make 144 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a donation to the ACLU and the name of the 145 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: person you're debating for Thanksgiving, but make it organic, have 146 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: a discussion, have a real conversation. And our goal today 147 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: over the next three hours is to help you be 148 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: better at the Thanksgiving table, because you know, you're gonna 149 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: have Uncle Joe, who's served in the National Guard in 150 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, who's gonna have plenty of opinions on 151 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: the military strategy for Venezuela. And you're going to have 152 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Aunt Sally, who once had an exchange student from Ukraine, 153 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: tell you how things need to be handled in Ukraine. 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: We're going to try to elevate that conversation by informing 155 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: you too, one of. 156 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: The people who's going to help us elevate that conversation. 157 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: We have a couple of really good guests that are 158 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: going to join us in the four o'clock hour. One 159 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: of them is Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett. He's rapidly becoming 160 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: a favorite of mine. Now he may not know, but 161 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: he is advancing an issue legislatively that's been a big 162 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: priority of ours here at the Government Accountability and stud 163 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: You wrote a book on insider trading over a decade ago. 164 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: He's advancing a bill, Peter Schweizer, if you can believe it, 165 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: that would actually ban members of Congress from buying and 166 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 3: selling individual stocks. 167 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: What an amazing idea, What an amazing concept. 168 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: And so not only can he talk about that, and 169 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: I think you'd be very excited to hear his ideas, 170 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: and he's you know, there's some fun back and forth 171 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 3: between him and other members on Twitter. One of the 172 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 3: representatives that as the richest member, one of the richest 173 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: members of Congress, I support this idea. He's like well, 174 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: as one of the poorest members. 175 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: Of the promiss, I also support it. 176 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: But in addition to getting into the insider trading deal 177 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: and why we should absolutely ban it and all the 178 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: different reasons behind that, he also is on the Foreign 179 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: Services Committee, and so he can weigh in on the 180 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 3: merits of this Ukraine deal and if it's actually going 181 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: to happen. 182 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, We're gonna break that down with him. And 183 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: then at the bottom of that second hour, we're gonna 184 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: have a conversation with an official in Utah. Very interesting 185 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: things going on in the state of Utah in terms 186 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: of the congressional delegations, the districts, how those are drawn. 187 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: There's a judge that is apparently doing some pretty shocking 188 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: things to try to jerrymander a district in the progressive direction. 189 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that. That's actually a common 190 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: theme of the show. We've got crazy judges all over 191 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: this country. We've got this judge in Utah, We've got 192 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: this judge in DC who's apparently been putting gag orders 193 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: on every dang request to get phone records from members 194 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: of the House and Senate as part of the Actor 195 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Frost scandal. Nineteen members of the Senate House now we're told, 196 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: had gag issues ordered on their phone records in despite 197 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: federal law that suggests that should not happen. And we 198 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: also have a judge in Minnesota. 199 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 3: We're going to get into fraud and how much of 200 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: your tax money is being wasted or stolen and even worse, 201 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: apparently making its way to terrorist organizations. And in the 202 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: context of that, you've got one jury actually said hey, 203 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: we think this is fraudulent, and a judge decided just 204 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 3: recently to overturn it. So we've got a lot of 205 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: interesting news all over the country. We've also got stories 206 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 3: about Adam Schiff and his mortgage fraud. We've got a 207 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: small business Administration program that's being exploited left and right, 208 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: and lots of the things that you might not know about. 209 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: Who knows what you'll want to deploy the Thanksgiving. 210 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Table, that's right, there'll be plenty of material as you're 211 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: passing the ams that we will give you ammunition that 212 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: you can use. But we want to hear from you too. 213 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: We want to hear your thoughts about the issue of 214 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: politics at Thanksgiving? Do you discuss it? Do you avoid 215 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: talking about it? And I'm not saying force it on somebody, 216 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: but do you engage and how does that go? You know, 217 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: it's interesting that the left, a lot of the groups 218 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: have produced these talking points to try to force the conversation. 219 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: Is that something you do or do you avoid it 220 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: all together? Ethan Turkey take an app and watch football? Well, 221 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: I think football exists for the people that are losing 222 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: the conversation. You know what, We disagree, but the Lions 223 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: are on and that's something we can both unfortunately relegate 224 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: ourselves too. 225 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: We do have some just a quick note. We mentioned 226 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: at the beginning of the show that there was a 227 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: shooting in Washington, d C. We're now being told that 228 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: a suspect is in custody and so we'll continue to 229 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 3: keep you updated. Is more information is broken in that area, 230 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: of course, of tragedy to National guardsmen shot in the Washington, 231 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: DC area. We're going to take a break when we 232 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: come back. We mentioned some more news as it relates 233 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 3: to this video that's being deployed by Democrat members of Congress. 234 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: You've got one of those members of the video Mark 235 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: Kelly Center from Arizona. Some information you might not know 236 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: about out him and why the new investigation as directed 237 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 3: by Pete he Seth, is but the latest in a 238 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: series of information about him that seems the opposite of 239 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: his current public persona. He's Peter Schweizer. I'm Eric Eggers. 240 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: We do a podcast called The Drill Down. This is 241 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: the Sean Handy Show. We're back with you right after this. 242 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: America listens to Sean Hendany and he's on. 243 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: On right now. Hello America, it's Peter Schweitzer. I'm here 244 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: with Eric Eggers. We're filling in for Sean. Call in 245 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: please on nine four one, seven, three two six. We 246 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: are monitoring the situation in Washington, d C. Two National 247 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: guardsmen have been shot. We do not know the motivation, 248 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: We don't know the particulars of the case. But you 249 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: have to realize this happens against the backdrop of this 250 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: so called sedition video, where we had prominent Democrats, including senators, 251 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: essentially telling military personnel members of the intelligence community don't 252 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: carry out Trump's orders when you think they're illegal. Listen 253 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: to the video here. We want to speak directly to 254 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: members of the military and the intelligence community to take 255 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,599 Speaker 1: risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you 256 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust 257 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 1: their military, with that trust is at risk. This administration 258 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against 259 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to 260 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: protect andy then this constitution. Right now, the threats to 261 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: our constitution aren't just coming from a broad but from 262 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: right here at home. Our laws are clear. 263 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. 264 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: You must refuse illegal orders. 265 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: No one has to. 266 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution. 267 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 3: We know this is hard and that it's a difficult 268 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: time to be a public servant. 269 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy, 270 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. 271 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: And know that we have your back. Now. 272 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: It remains unclear what potential illegal orders they might be 273 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: referring to, and when asked specifically about that, sender, Elisa 274 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: Slockein had this to say, So, let's. 275 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Talk right now. 276 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders? 277 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that 278 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that 279 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related 280 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: to Venezuela. 281 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: Legal gymnastics should be noted as called practicing the law, 282 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: not actually doing anything illegal. Peter Schwatzer, your reaction to this, 283 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: and I think your point as it relates, I mean, 284 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 3: for to this tragedy that these nowtional guards troops being 285 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: shot again. Don't know the motivation, right, but it speaks 286 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 3: to a larger thing that the Democrats appear to be 287 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: doing from a messaging standpoint. 288 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean notice in that video, by the way, 289 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: they did not say if you're a military officer and 290 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: you have a question about in order to go to 291 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: a jag officer, go to an attorney in the military. 292 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: If you have questions, they don't say that, they say, 293 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: refuse to carry it out. You look further at some 294 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: of the things that Democrats are saying is illegal, the 295 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: use of military forces to deport immigrants, the military attacks 296 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: on vessels in international waters, Venezuela, any invasion or attack 297 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: on Venezuela or Nigeria, the use of preemptive military force 298 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: against Iran, that's the bombing of Iran. The point here 299 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: is they have this massively vague definition. Anything they don't 300 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: like Trump is doing with the military, they're essentially saying, 301 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: is an illegal order, and they're telling military personnel to 302 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: put their situation on the line by violating this and 303 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: ending up going to jail. This actually happened in twenty twenty, 304 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: if you remember, they deployed the National Guard with the 305 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: George Floyd riots. There were National guardsmen that refused to 306 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: be deployed. They got in deep legal trouble, and of 307 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: course the people that are encouraging them to do that, 308 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: they walked away and did another television interview. 309 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: It should be worth pointing out that Donald Trump is 310 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: the commander in chief of the military, and so you 311 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 3: have people who are not him telling active members of 312 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: the military it's okay to defy in order. That's probably 313 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: not okay. In fact, it's so not okay that current 314 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on the Navy Secretary 315 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: to investigate quote potentially unlawful comments made by Senator Mark 316 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 3: Kelly from Arizona. He of course has a military background 317 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: of himself, and so people are saying, listen, it's you know, 318 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: there are consequences words have consequences. Rhetoric sometimes lead to action. 319 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: We were all sort of living in a post Charlie 320 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: Kirk environment. We see that better than anything. So yeah, 321 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: it'll be very interesting to see what happens. But this 322 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 3: is not going to just go unchallenged by the white. 323 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: No, it's not, nor should it, because here's the thing. 324 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: There is an honorable tradition in the military. If you 325 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: disagree with a policy, if you disagree with an order officer, 326 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: they call it later stars on the table. You say, 327 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: with respect, sir, I resign my position. That's not what 328 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: they're telling people to do. They're telling people to stay 329 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: in the military and fight within the military to avoid 330 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: what they believe to be in illegal order. This is 331 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: political play acting as far as I'm concerned, and they're 332 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: trying to portray it as bravery. It's not bravery at all. 333 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: It's it's dishonorable. 334 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 3: It's political play acting from the same script. Unfortunately as 335 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: the people that brought you the government shutdown that cost 336 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: people thousands of dollars worth of hard earned salaries. He's 337 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 3: Peter Schweizer, I'm Eric Eggers. We're not resigning anything. We're 338 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 3: here with you all afternoon. Feeling in for Sean Hannity, 339 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 3: give us a call, onenty hundred and nine one seven three, two, 340 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 3: six and nine for one Seawan back after this. 341 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: Law Hannity less big government. This is the Sean Hannity Show. 342 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: This this is Sean Hannity's show. This is not Sean Hannity. 343 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: This is Peter Schweitzer filling in. We are monitoring the 344 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: situation in Washington, d C. Where we've had this horrific 345 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: shooting of two National guardsmen. The suspect is apparently in custody, 346 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: and we are talking We don't know the motive of 347 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: the shooter, but we're talking about this against the backdrop 348 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: of this Sedition video that has been put out by 349 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: some senators and other prominent Democrats. 350 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, just to update it, Peter Schweitzer, we have two 351 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: troops have been shot, critically wounded. The suspect also wounded. 352 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: We're told as in custody. The White House is on lockdown. 353 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: President Trump has been briefed, and the latest piece of 354 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: information that we have is that depart to Ronald Reagan 355 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: are grounded due to security. So there's been a groundstop 356 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: ordered at Reagan National Airport for security reasons. You can 357 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 3: imagine what that's doing to holiday travel on the day 358 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: before Thanksgiving. As he noted, he is Peter Schweizer. I 359 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: am Eric Egres. We do a podcast called The Drill 360 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: Down where we cover lots of issues related to federal 361 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 3: government corruption, cronyism. Mark Kelly, who is someone who features 362 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 3: prominently in this sedition video, is someone from whom we've 363 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: previously reported on, and that is somebody that Wes from 364 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 3: Florida wants to talk about it. If you want to 365 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: join us here on the show, it's one hundred and 366 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: nine four one seven three two six. That's the number 367 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 3: Wes called, who lives as we do in the Free 368 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: State of Florida. Wes, how are you doing. 369 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: I'm doing great, gosh, how are you. We're good in Jacksonville, 370 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: you probably know, is a huge military town. I'll get 371 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 2: to the point. I thought the video of the Seditious 372 00:19:54,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: six was suspicable and subversive. I believe they're traders. I 373 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: believe they can't quite understand that they're not in charge. 374 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: Elease Slotkin does not run the military. We don't answer 375 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: to Elise Slotkin. And what they tried to do in 376 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: that video was a pernicious life, and I despise it. 377 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: This city won't stand for something like that, and I 378 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: think it's about time for some accountability guys. I mean, 379 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: you can't keep doing these kind of things. Your words 380 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: have they stick with you, stepping stones they break my bones, 381 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: but words have permanent damage. And these guys are submersive 382 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 2: or subversive, and they're trying to tell our military that 383 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 2: they can disobey the commander in chief. That's the fundamental 384 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: they hate Trump so much. 385 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: Well, I think you said it very accurately, and as 386 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: we pointed out earlier, again in the video, they don't say, 387 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: if you have a question about an order, whether it's 388 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: legal or a lot, go and get a JAG officer's 389 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: opinion or confer with somebody. They say, just don't follow 390 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: the order. 391 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 3: So I couldn't help. But I'm not sure which part 392 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: of that video struck you, Peter, But to me, it 393 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: wasn't addressed to the military specifically, but when they said 394 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: the intelligence agencies, because you and I have done this 395 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: long enough to remember, and we have seen we now 396 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: know instances of which the intelligence community didn't just not 397 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 3: participate in a thing that the commander in chief might 398 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: have wanted to do, but have actively worked against and 399 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: to undermine and to remove that person from office, right, 400 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: I mean we I was just in Washington, d C. 401 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: Last week and I saw members of the National Guard 402 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 3: patrolling the streets and I thought, this is this military city. 403 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 3: We're told it's actually just normal people standing on the street. 404 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: But I was there because Susan Krabtree, with whom we 405 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: work on au pot guess called on background, was receiving 406 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: or she was presenting an award for journalism, and the 407 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 3: people that won the award this year was about like 408 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: the Russiagate collusion and exposing the hooks and exposing the 409 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: ways that the intelligence community while Donald Trump was president, 410 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: was feeding misinformation and lies to journalists who then turned 411 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 3: around and reported it and then won awards for reporting 412 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 3: lies fed to them by the Intelligence Committee, who were 413 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 3: only doing so to undermine the sitting president of the 414 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: United States. 415 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know when it happened, but at stark 416 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: to the extent that has happened, which is how liberal 417 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: Democrats became favorable towards spooks. I mean they love spies now. 418 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean it used to be they were the ones 419 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: in the seventies, the Church Commission CIA is too powerful, 420 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: it's unaccountable. Now they want a CIA that actually is 421 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: unaccountable too elected officials, namely the President, and they're encouraging 422 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: them not to do what they been asked to do. 423 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: And I think the reason Wes's call is so important 424 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: is he's exactly right. This is again not resigning honorably. 425 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: I disagree. I don't want to carry out these ords. 426 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: That's fine. You can do that as a flag officer. 427 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: What you can't do is try to subvert what elective 428 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: officials want you to do. And you happen to disagree 429 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: with that policy preference. 430 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 3: And know, by the way, as you well know, because 431 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 3: you helped break the story about Hunter Biden when the 432 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: intelligence community was unsuccessful in proving that Donald Trump was 433 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: a Russian asset, a story by the way, that originates 434 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 3: from reporting we did on Hillary Clinton's campaign and her 435 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: ties to Russia because of the Clinton Foundation. When that 436 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 3: didn't work, they then were successful in feeding more in misinformation, 437 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 3: this time about the Hunter Biden laptop and getting that 438 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: information withheld largely from the American public, an issue that 439 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 3: we know would have helped swing the twenty twenty election 440 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 3: in a more significant way than it did, so I 441 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: guess to me, that's my biggest takeaway. You see these 442 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: Democrats that say, well, we're kind of used to this. 443 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 3: This is the privilege that we have existed in. Yeah, 444 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: we think we're allowed to tell the intelligence community to 445 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: work with us because they always have. 446 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. There was a phrase in the nineteenth century 447 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: in the UK that stayed for a long time. It 448 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: was called the loyal opposition. We're opposed to who's in power. 449 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: We don't like the policies, but we are loyal to 450 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: the country. We want the country to do well. We 451 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: have a different vision about how it's supposed to get 452 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: that way, but we're going to be loyal to it. 453 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: That is not This is not a loyal opposition in 454 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: that sense. This is an opposition that says we are 455 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: going to undermine the authority of duly elected officials. We're 456 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: going to declare any military action we went through the 457 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: list earlier, any military action that Trump's engaging it. We 458 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: don't like he's taking out these drug votes. You as 459 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: a military officer can refuse to carry out that order 460 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: because we've decided it's illegal. It's complete and total chaos, 461 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: and they know that they are trying to sow chaos, 462 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: as they've done it in our streets, they're trying to 463 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: do the same thing in our military. 464 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, some of the people in the video may have 465 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: been adjacent at least as some of the chaos that's 466 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 3: already been sown in this country. You remember Peter Schweitzer 467 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: when we had that big old balloon flying across the country, 468 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 3: the Chinese balloon, and some people said one of the 469 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: reasons why they didn't want to shoot it down is 470 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 3: it was more likely to land on Chinese owned land 471 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: than it would have the United States because of how 472 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 3: much we've given. 473 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: Away to the Chinese under Joe Biden. 474 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 3: But speaking of Susan Crabty, an excellent reporter from Real 475 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: Claire Politics, she tweeted this not too long ago, if 476 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 3: Mark Kelly is trying to lead a s edition against 477 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: the Trump administration, why hasn't any senator or Tulca Gabbard 478 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 3: asked about what I first reported years ago that Mark 479 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 3: Kelly recruited. 480 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: I did not know this. 481 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 3: Chinese company Tencent to fund. Apparently Mark Kelly owns or 482 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 3: it was involved with a stratospheric balloon company they got funding, 483 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: So he was connected to this balloon company worldview. They 484 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: got funding from Chinese company Tencent at two different times. 485 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: That company, by the way, also employees Mark Kelly's daughter, 486 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 3: And so this is happening right before then, this balloon company, 487 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: they were involved in space tourism when they were getting 488 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: this Chinese money, and then they said, Okay, now we're 489 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: going to pivot the defense stuff. And apparently the Chinese okay, 490 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: we're out. We're not interested in funding something involved in 491 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: the US defense work, is. 492 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: What we're told. Yeah, and by the way, ten Cent 493 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: is not just like oh a rando Chinese company. Ten 494 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: Cent is joined at the hip with the Chinese Industrial States. 495 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: National Bank of Beijing. 496 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: No, it's not, it's not. They do a lot of 497 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: sensitive work for the Ministry of State Security. They are 498 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: highly trusted by the Chinese Communist Party. They are joined 499 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: at the hip. And the fact that they are funding 500 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: a business venture which a US senator, now you centator 501 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: is involved in, has got to raise red flags. No 502 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: pun intended, No pun, well pun intended. Maybe, So we've got. 503 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 3: Information on that. I think that's a situation. Will continue 504 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 3: to monitor as it relates to Mark Kelly. And we 505 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: also just this week, Peter, have done some reporting on 506 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: another senator, someone who also, by the way, was involved 507 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 3: in the Russiagate collusion and hoax, and that is your 508 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 3: good friend, longtime California politician, current Senator Adam Schiff. 509 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. Adam Schiff has been accused and is 510 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: under investigation by the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud 511 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: by claiming two primary residences at the same time. This 512 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: is called occupancy fraud, and people wonder, well, is this 513 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: really a big deal. It is actually a big deal 514 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: because you get lower interest rates, you get tax benefits, 515 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: and you save a lot of money by doing this. 516 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: What Shift did is in two thousand and three, he 517 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: bought a home in Maryland, and then he bought a 518 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: condo in California in two thousand and nine. In two 519 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, he claimed also while he refinanced the 520 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: Maryland home. He claimed them both as his primary residence, 521 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 1: and he got a tax advantage in both states by 522 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: doing so, and he saved a lot of money. We 523 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: broke this story back in twenty twenty four when a 524 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: California based real estate agent, Catherine bish reached out to 525 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: us she shared with us the documents. We're all about 526 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: paper trail. That's what we do at the Government Accountability Institute, 527 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: and what it clearly shows is that he was claiming 528 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: two homes at the same time as his primary residence, 529 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: and in May of twenty twenty five, he became under 530 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: investigation after being referred by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. 531 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: What's interesting is if you look at the law, there's 532 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: actually serious penalties for this. This is not just some 533 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: sort of flunky thing, some technical detail. According to the 534 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: US Federal sentencing guidelines, this is poured out by the DOJ. 535 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: The base offense is six to twenty four months in 536 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: jail if you have no priors, which Adam Shift does 537 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: not have as far as I know. If you plead guilty, 538 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: you might get home confinement under these federal guidelines, but 539 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: you're going to pay a fine of three hundred thousand 540 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: to seven hundred thousand. There's also a lot of civil penalties. 541 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: You're going to lose your law license, you can permanently 542 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: lose your ability to get federal financing on mortgages, et cetera. 543 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: It's going to destroy your credit and the IRS is 544 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: going to look at any financial benefit you got and 545 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: make you pay taxes on it. So this is a 546 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: big deal crime and it's going to be interesting to 547 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: see how it proceeds because one of the biggest frustrations 548 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: we run across in America is do the rules apply 549 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: to everyone? And there are people that had been prosecuted 550 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: for this, there are people that have gone to jail 551 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: for this, and people are frustrated because it seems like 552 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: if you have a you know something before your name, 553 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: like senator or congressman, you can engage in insider trading, 554 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: you can engage potentially in mortgage fraud and it doesn't 555 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: matter because the rules are not going to apply to you. 556 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: Well, the inside of trade and stuff we have news 557 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: on after this break and coming up in the next 558 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: hour with Representative Tim Burchett. But I will say to 559 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: your point, we hear all the time because of America. 560 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: We hear from you. 561 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: We hear from you when you spawn to our podcast 562 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 3: to drill down. We see the comments that you leave 563 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 3: on articles. You're so tired of just being told about 564 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: who's doing what wrong and you want people to be 565 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 3: held accountable. And Adam Shift's you know charges on mortgage fraud. 566 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 3: I think are an example of that. Now, the pushback is, oh, 567 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: this is just Donald Trump going after his political opponents. Right, So, 568 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: when Jim Comy admits he lies to a federal grand 569 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 3: jury and he actually gets charged for that, is that 570 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 3: upholding the law? Or is that Donald Trump prosecuting a 571 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: political opponent. When Adam Shiff appears to be in violation 572 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: of the law, is that actually accountability or is that 573 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 3: kind of politically motivated stuff? As far as you the 574 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 3: listening audience goes, what we're trying to do is help 575 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: you tomorrow. So like what you if you're at the 576 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dinner table and you find out that a relative 577 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: is potentially interested in purchasing home. You say, oh, she 578 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 3: talked to Adam Shift about that. He can probably help 579 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: you get a better rate. And they go, I don't 580 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: know what you mean. You go just google it and 581 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 3: you get up and you go do something else.

And you can also guide 584 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: them on why they don't want to do what Adam 585 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: Shift did and apparently engage in mortgage fraud because it 586 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: will get you in serious legal jeopardy.

This is Governor Patrick Morrissey. 610 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both 611 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: members with the West Virginia National Guard who were shot 612 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: earlier today in Washington, d C. Have passed away from 613 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 3: their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in 614 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: the service of their country. We are an ongoing contact 615 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 3: with the federal officials as the investigation continues. He continues, 616 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 3: Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, 617 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 3: and the Guard community.

Helping to make the citizens 623 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: there safe. We don't know the motive of the shooter. 624 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: We understand that he is in custody, and we don't 625 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: know if it's connected to the broader atmosphere that is 626 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: being spread about resistance within the military, the need to 627 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: disobey orders. We're going to monsure that situation again. But 628 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: it's just so tragic to think that somebody is targeting 629 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: members of our armed services that are volunteering to protect 630 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: their country, to protect their fellow citizens, and to do 631 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: so in such a brazen way just a block or 632 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: so from the White House. 633 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: What we do know is not in addition to the 634 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: atmosphere of you have active members of Congress encouraging military 635 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 3: personnel to resist what they considered to be unlawful orders, 636 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 3: you also remember have gotten a number of elected officials 637 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 3: in the context that these are National Guards troops. These 638 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,719 Speaker 3: weren't police officers in Washington, DC. These are people who 639 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 3: have been in other cities vilified, yeah, and being told 640 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 3: that you are inflaming civil unrest, all them Nazis, call 641 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 3: them lots of names.
